Obama: 'I'm skinny, but I'm tough'

AUSTIN -- Under a bright moon shining on the Texas Capitol, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama told a boisterous Austin crowd Friday night that he has the mettle to match his rhetoric and is ready to the lead the nation in a new direction after eight years of Republican rule.

"I'm skinny, but I'm tough," a feisty Obama said with a bit of mock indignation. "Listen, I'm a black guy named Barack Obama running for president. You can't say I'm not tough."

-SNIP- Obama also used his Austin stop to address head-on some of the whispers about him that have spread over the Internet.

"You know what? He's a Muslim," he said with a mocking voice. "Well, I've been going to the same Christian church, praying to Jesus for the last 20 years. So don't insult me, and don't insult the Muslims."

I.e., I'm a perfectly inflatable empty suit coming on display in the Oval Office January 2009.

I'd be impressed with Barack's 'TOUGHNESS' if he were a WHITE CONSERVATIVE VETERAN running for POTUS because he would NOT be getting "JESUS" like status by the DBM!!!

I was more reminded of O.J. Simpson’s “When you grow up in the [’hood/ghetto/something], and your first name’s Orenthal, you have to run fast.”

Is it an insult to the Muslims to think that Obama is one of theirs?

How does calling you a Muslim insult Muslims, Hussein?

And going to a "Christian" church, esp. one with a bizarre heretic Afrocentric doctrine like Obama's, doesn't make one a Christian. Besides, Muslims claim to revere Jesus too; they just deny His own statements about who He was.

Self-pitying racist nonsense. He would only be bucking the system if he were a black conservative like Alan Keyes or Clarence Thomas.

"I want everybody to make sure you are supporting your local law enforcement, because they are protecting and serving you," Obama said.

What gall. Obama is a pal of the white Leftist terrorists Ayers and Dohrn, who planned to blow up military officers and kill cops.

“All McCain would have to do is make a crack about his Dumbo ears....”

The Dumbo ears came from the white side of the family! He has the facial features and ears of his white grandfather, he just happens to have brown skin from his black father.

Obama: 'I'm skinny...'

Well, between that and being a Mulatto, he's got two things that differentiate him from Hillary now.

Should Obama or Clinton get a compliant Democrat Congress and Senate, the damage done to this country and to liberty as we have known it,would be incalculable. They are the most dangerous presidential candidates since Henry Wallace. Please check this link. It will tell you all that you need to know. There is credible info that could lead one to believe that his Indonesian stepfather to him to Mosque with the intent of making him Muslim. His own campaign said in a LA Time article that he was never a REGULARLY practicing Muslim, leading one to infer that he was an IRREGULARLY practicing Muslim. That is enough for the Muzzies to convict him as an apostate or to accept him as one of the faithful decieving the dhimmis. Check the years 1971-1973 at the link below.

Michelle Obama hasn’t said one thing about the US before the year 2007 that would make her proud to be a citizen of the greatest nation in the history of mankind that has placed her amongst the most privliged of the elite in this country.

I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nation’s dismay, I think we have found her.

The ascendency of BHO is the realization of the efforts of all the Cultural Marxists whose ideas were nurtered by the Gramcians who set up the Frankfurt School and spawned cultural radicals like Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodore Adorno. Their intellectual progeny are thoroughly ensconced in the MSM, academia, Hollywood, and most importantly in the George Soros directed modern day Democratic Party which is the nest for all the Vipers on the left, the racial identity determininists, the radical feminists, the sexual deviationist lobby, the “watermelon” environmentalists, the open borders crowd and the anti-war seditionists who seek to steal from our magnificent armed forces the victory that they have earned with their blood and valor in the SAME MANNER as they stole our hard earned victory from those of us who are Vietnam vets.
Their apotheosis is the religion of Obama, the Lucifer deciever who would lead this great nation to Fabian Socialist HELL!!!
Spread the word!!!

Doesn’t matter. He BLEW at a reporter who mentioned his Dumbo ears, so McCain should use it. Other than his race, his EARS and their size piss him off.
