Oh, for their own Barack (Super-Mega Barf Alert!)

Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 7-9-09 | Matt Flegenheimer

[Mac from Cleveland]

Wanted: Woman seeking man: tall, handsome, bright, family-oriented leader of the free world.

Sure, only one gentleman fills that bill at the moment, and a Chicago lawyer named Michelle snatched up that skinny Harvard grad years ago.

But across the country, many women dare to harbor the audacious hope of finding "their own Barack" - a man with integrity, character and spirituality, one who loves and values his wife and makes his family a priority no matter how busy his schedule is.

In other words, the kind of man that many women had lost hope of finding, especially in this age of grim marital statistics. In 2006, for instance, 45 percent of African American women had never married, according to a U.S. Census Bureau survey.

"He absolutely makes me think it's attainable," said Monica Weeks, a divorced mother in Somerset, N.J. "For women who are older and seeking a man, I think we can look at him and say, 'All is not lost.' ''

I was surfing the Philly.com website-which includes the Inquirer-and saw this listed as one of it's "top stories"--enjoy!

Could happen. We have a surplus of idiotic, narcissistic men.

[counterpunch]

Family oriented.

[counterpunch]

Hey, at least you can’t say he doesn’t like kids...

[wbill]

Would that be the Barack who was checking out chicks young enough to be his daughter at the G-8 summit? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2289180/posts

Yep, he's a keeper.

Barack Obama is not -—in any way, shape or form -— “handsome”.

He’s got HUGE ears and no chin. He is what we used to call “homely”.

Oh, wait. I forgot. This is 1984.

Super mega barf alert doesn’t quite cut it.

Have you SEEN 45% of African American women? I wouldn’t either!

[Yankee]

I’ll bet the ranch that Matt Flegenheimer takes it in the seat.

We really don't know that much about Barack Obama, so a lot of what women "see" in him is just speculation or imagination or projection.

But then women don't expect that much from men nowadays. For some, maybe the fact that he got married and stayed married (so far) to the mother of his children is enough.

Did we have a census in 2006? I missed that.

[Melchior]

Given the number of articles that he has written that can only be described as pro-homosexual, I would say you are right.

[patriot08]

Obama is ugly- what with his big floppy ears, purple lips and WHAT is that purple pustle thingy by his nose? GAG

[Eagles2003]

What does Larry Sinclair think of him ogling women?

[KJC1]

I think we can look at him and say, 'All is not lost.'

Not yet, at least. Give him time; he's only had 5 months to work on losing it all.

Yep, no racism in this site

[Venturer]

Integrity, Character, and Spirituality.

Matt -—babay you are so full of it.

Obama has none of that. It’s an act boy./

LOL!

What a saint! /s

[tacticalogic]

Don’t they know they can build their own out of a suit and a teleprompter?
