Did Obama really say THAT??
Vanity | 10/18/08 | nully

Posted on 10/18/2008 3:02:52 PM PDT by null and void

While on the way to brunch today, the weighted Companion Cube pointed out that 0bama made a very telling joke:

He said whoever gave me my middle name didn't think I'd ever be running for president.

eh? "Whoever gave me my middle name"??? Doesn't he know?

Maybe we're reading to much into that, but several things come to mind. Most of those could explain why he is so reluctant to allow the American people anywhere near his real birth certificate.

It was at that Smith dinner thing the other night (all over youtube). Funny line.

And yes, if it had been me it would have been “my Mom” or “my parents”. Interesting.

This “joke” fell flat. The “Steve” joke was pretty funny though.

I thought that was a very strange remark. So, his mother did not name him?

Seems like he can’t just come out and say that his father, the Kenyan relative of murderers, named him Hussein after a Muslim ancestor.

When that woman asked McCain if Obama was an Arab, the correct answer would have been “Obama is 1/4 Arab.”

Many a truth is told in jest.

Whatever, unless we can uncover the real birth certificate we are all screwed. This is damn close to a layup as there is...I am heart-sick over what is about to become of my Country. I can remember my Father telling me back in the 70’s that these communist hippies are mating at an alarming rate and one day they will ruin our Nation...let the countdown begin.

He said it as a joke during the Alfred E. Smith dinner in New York City on Thursday night. Both him and McCain spoke.

The real analysis of Obama's jokes should reveal his narcissism.

During two separate "jokes," Obama referred to himself as "Superman" and "awesome."

Who in the hell refers to himself with words like that?

An egomaniac, that's who.

“I was not born in a manger,” he said, adding the name Barack, given by his Kenyan father, was Swahili for “that one.” He also had an explanation for his middle name, Hussein.

“I got my middle name from somebody who didn’t think I would ever run for president,” he said.

Once Barry gets in muslim terrorists will think they have a green light because Barry pals around with terrorists and no one in the government seems to care.

"That is from a joke he did at that dinner the other night. Nothing there."

Agreed. Unfortunately, Obama delivered his lines much better than McCain. I'm not sure McCain can tell a joke or read an index card, whichever it was, without stumbling through it.

Regardless, I thought it totally classless that these two men were at a white tie dinner, making jokes about the recession and bailout, while the taxpayers are in distress about what the damn government is doing.

They are all seriously out of touch with the people and the realities of being a peon taxpayer.
