The communist is more Republican than the Republicans, what kind of crazy, mixed up world is this?

He’s like the Harlem Globetrotter of politics....ball ticks and all....

Show us the BC.
We will figure him out when he moves into “actions speak louder than words” territory after January 20, 2009. You know the old saying, don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do.
And Britney Spears has championed mature behavior. I’ll believe her when I see her acting like an adult, and I’ll believe Obama when I see responsible government from him - which will be never in both cases.
