Every Messiah needs his disciples. Barack Obama can count on one in Ann Curry. Reporting from a camp in Chad for refugees from Darfur in a segment on Today this morning, Curry proclaimed that Obamas message of hope has reached even here.
Her evidence? The fact that a sign had been tacked up on the door to a mud-brick structure renaming it the Obama schoolhouse. The video clip shows a sign in Arabic. Someone had helpfully translated it, scrawling Obama in chalk on the entranceway.

My late mother-in-law used to say, “wish in one hand and sh** in the other and see what you have more of”. The same principle applies to Zero's hope...Live in hope and die in despair.

I wonder how Ann Curry and the Channel she works for reported the last African trip that President and Mrs Bush took. I remember seeing throngs of happy people, and women dressed with fabric that had President Bush’s image on it.
Ann Curry probably told herself that it would not be ‘journalism’ to show that to Americans, it would have been “propaganda” to praise the Bushes, and thus, not allowed.

Sounds like someone wants a taxpayer handout, and Darfur? Is this the re-introduction to send US Troops? We already know the media works for this administration

Darfur?
Rather than send our regular military there, I suggest that a “Darfur Legion” be organized, similar to “Lincoln Brigade” of the Spanish War and then all the celebraties and their dem goalongs can volunteer to free Darfur and, if successful, they can continue on to Tibet.
The line forms to the Left.....gee, nobody there.
Heard in the liberal background: “Can I make a speech about Darfur? I am more effective as a speaker to make people aware of the problem; will you take a donation instead of service?

The left only want the military involved in wars like this, but they aren't will to put their money where their mouths are because they think they are more valuable in the rear.

"hope sandwich"
I'm paraphrasing somewhat, but I have a co-worker who told me this one:
put hope in one hand and manure in the other hand, and see what grows out of which hand first. Except he used another word for manure.
