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."

That’s because you watch too much tv. The MSM is part of the DNC campaign to get either Hitlery or Barry elected.

Seriously, big media is in line on this one. Led by the NYTIMES and WAPO, followed by NBC and the other nets, this campaign is OVER.

McCain will NOT carry more than ten states in November.

Well his dad is Muslim and the Muslims respect that as being Muslim so I guess to some Obama is a Muslim no matter what he says he is....

Logic...

Pres. Obama, Saudi Arabia is funding madrassas around the globe that teach hatred of the United States.

don't insult the Muslims

Pres. Obama, we need to monitor radical Wahabbi mosques in our country.

don't insult the Muslims

He’s skinny and wimpy. All words no substance with a fat-mouthed wife to match.

Maybe he’s skinny because he’s on coke?

He is thin-skinned...you could see it in his expression during the debates when HRC criticized him.

He's used to getting a free pass his whole life being the "magic Negro" and all.

I think he's another extreme narcissist as is his wife.

McCain should challenge this tough wimp to an armwrestling match on live TV.

Heck, I bet Edwards and Kucinich could beat Obama.

Well, crack/cocaine would explain HUSSEIN Obama’s “cold” this week.

McCain will not hesitate to use his race against him. Reagan was a pro at that. McCain is ROUGH, and this little twerp being black wouldn’t bother him at all. All McCain would have to do is make a crack about his Dumbo ears....

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

What a shameless, sexist inference to Hillary's soft, pudgy butt!

He’s tough?

He lived in Hyde Park in Chicago. The area’s a mix of sissy blacks, gangsters, and white liberals from the University of Chicago who run to their cars in the evening while looking over their shoulders.

Have him c’mon over to Bridgeport in the 11th Ward where we’ll open a big can of whoop-ass for him.
