agreed. it's amazing how the press build up those they want to enthrone. i guess the msm are today's kingmakers.
So now Hill wants to be the first black female president. With Bill being the first black pres, that would leave Obama as - what? Third? I wonder how he feels about the Clinton's blackness.
God help us.
But he hasn't actually done anything, has he?
> But he hasn't actually done anything, has he?
All he has to do is what the clintons tell him to.
"Who annointed Barack Obama as Mr. Clean, Champion of ethics?"
If we can have a national holiday for Martin Luther King, Obama can easily be elected president.
LOL - do you really believe that's necessary to get votes?
The Chicago Tribune is actively promoting Obama at the expense of anyone else. No matter what the story, they spin it overwhelming for him. Thats true of Chicago TV stations as well, often using the term "in a very presidential manner" for whatever he does. Remember Obama has been a senator for a year and did not have any serious political position before. He lost several races to blacker politicians. And a state senator in Illinois is a dime a dozen because every district has several.
This is the same group that put Mosely Braun in office. She was a city clerk before being senator.
Cristy Hefner and Playboy may be his biggest backer moeny wise.
There is no moral equivalence between the liberal and conservative agendas for this nation. The former will utterly destroy us. Obama is a glib strutting trojan horse filled to bursting with whacked-out liberal ideas and plans that the left is hoping to deceive the American public into rolling into the Oval Office. Do you even dare to imagine who he would nominate to the Supreme Court?
Obama may be the most dangerous and potentially destructive politician of our lifetimes, surpassing even Hillary. It is a terrible pity he isn't conservative. If his head were screwed on straight, I'd be his number one fan.
He's a muslim sleeper.
Now THAT'S a scary thought!
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (born August 4, 1961) is a U.S. Senator from Illinois. He is the first African-American man from the Democratic Party ever to be elected to the United States Senate. He received international media coverage for his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, delivered while he was still an Illinois state senator.
Obama won the open Senate seat while on leave from the University of Chicago Law School. He is the only African-American currently serving in the U.S. Senate, the fifth in U.S. history and the third since Reconstruction. Obama won the election in a landslide, with 70% of the vote to Alan Keyes' 27%. He is junior senator to Richard Durbin.
Early life
Barack Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii to Harvard University-educated economist Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a native of Kenya, and S. Ann Dunham, of Wichita, Kansas. At the time of Obama's birth, both his parents were students at the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Of his years in Hawaii, Obama has written, "The irony is that my decision to work in politics, and to pursue such a career in a big Mainland city, in some sense grows out of my Hawaiian upbringing, and the ideal that Hawaii still represents in my mind."
When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father eventually returned to Kenya, and he saw his son only once more before his death in 1982. Ann Obama married another East-West Center student from Indonesia. In his early childhood while growing up with his mother, Barack used the name 'Barry'. The family then moved to Jakarta, where Obama's half-sister Maya was born (Obama has other half-siblings from his father's other marriages). When Obama was ten he returned to Hawaii under the care of his grandparents, and later his mother, for the better educational opportunities. He was enrolled in the fifth grade at Punahou School, where he graduated with honors in 1979.

Last year I was watching Oprah ( not by choice). She was saying that her contract was up in 2011 and then she was going to devote herself fulltime to getting Obama elected president.
She was absolutely gushing over the guy like some schoolgirl crush. I hurled afterwards.
He made a speech at the convention. I wasn't impressed. Don't see why some people think he's something special.
Columnist Says Barack Obama 'Lied To The American People;' Asks Publisher to Withdraw Obama's Book

"Fiction: Obama stated in his Convention speech: 'My father ... grew up herding goats.' The 'goat herder' claim has been repeated endlessly. It is a lie. Fact: Obama's grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama was a prominent and wealthy farmer. His son, Obama's father, was a child of privilege, not privation. He was an outstanding student, not a herdsman.
"Fiction: Obama was given an 'African' name. Fact: Obama is a Muslim who has concealed his religion. I am a strong supporter of the Muslim community, and I believe Muslims have been scapegoated. Obama has a great opportunity to be forthright. Instead, he has treated his Muslim heritage as a dark secret. His grandfather was named 'Hussein.' That is an Arabic-Muslim, not African, name. Hussein was a devout Muslim and named his son, Barack Senior, 'Baraka.' Baraka is an Arabic word meaning 'blessed.' Baraka comes out of the Koran and Arabic, not Africa.
"Barack Senior was also a devoted Muslim, and also chose a Muslim name for his son, our own Barack Obama, Junior. Again, his name was an Arabic and Koranic.
Obama has spent a lifetime running from his family heritage and religious heritage. Would his father have given his son a Koranic name if the father was not a devout Muslim? Obama's stepfather was also a Muslim. Obama will be the first Muslim-heritage senator; he should be proud of that fact. There is nothing to be ashamed of in any of the three great Abrahamic religions.
"Fiction: Obama Senior was a harmless student 'immigrant' who came to the United States only to study. Fact: Obama was part of one of the most corrupt and violent organizations in Africa: the Kenyatta regime. Obama's father ran back to Kenya soon after the British left. It is likely Obama's father had Mau Mau sympathies or connections, or he would not have been welcomed into the murderous inner circle of rapists, murderers, and arsonists. I believe Obama's secret shame at his family history of rape, murder and arson is what actualizes him. Our research is not yet complete. We are seeking to examine British colonial records. Our investigation to date has drawn on information on three continents.
"And what about Obama's beloved Kenyan brothers and sisters? None of his family was invited to Boston to share his prominence. Are his relatives being kept in the closet? Where are they? More secrecy, more prevarication.
"It is time for Barack Obama to stop presenting a fantasy to the American people. We are forgiving and many would still support him. It may well be that his concealment is meant to endanger Israel. His Muslim religion would obviously raise serious questions in many Jewish circles where Obama now enjoys support," Martin states.
' The 'goat herder'
Sounds like Mr. Barak Hussein Obama should be the new spokesman for the new gay cowboy movie!
