I see it the same way you do, Jet.

Hillary is getting stupid, and I think her campaign managers and handlers are not good at what they do.

The pic of B.O. is not going to work, and fool the public.

He is smooth, steady, and straightforward. And yeah I agree, Hillary's foibles are showing, right now. Can she do any worse? The Texas and Ohio dates on March 4th, are next Tuesday, 7 days away. It's make it or break it for her, and she may be more nasty within the coming seven days.

Or do you swear that he ain't just because he is a lying lawyer who says he ain't, that don't cut shit with me.

And I ain't afraid of him, but once he gets in the WH, I might god damn sure be..

My fellow Identity-Americans:

As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for their ... Well, support.

Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.

I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.

I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr . And Teddy killed a female employee he was having an extra marital affair with who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.

And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.

Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.

I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.

Americans are tired of thinking.

It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart.

So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don't think, just do.

And do it for me.

Thank You.

Norton

For sure. Did anyone see GWB dancing with the Tutsi's or whatever tribe. Besides looking pure dick, another clear indication that white men don't have any sense of rhythm.

Milkman

Fair enough, BG.

I don't like Liars - I mean lawyers either.

Obama's negatives are higher than you'd think.

Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a mid-term election.

Only thing a politician can say that I will half believe is "Good evening my fellow Americans", "I got up this morning" and really that and anything following is suspect to me..

Good feedback from the BBC on pic of Obama in "muslim" gear.

The meaning of Obama's robes



The photo has sparked a storm over who released the image

A photo of US presidential candidate Barack Obama wearing Somali clothing is causing a storm after it got released to the Drudge Report website.
Yusuf Garaad Omar head of the BBC's Somali Service explains the meaning of the robes.
These are the normal clothes that nomadic people wear.
The head turban is especially used by elderly people as a suggestion of respect. It is something that has no meaning whatsoever in Somalia culture.
If you see someone dressed like that in Somalia, you think it is a nomadic person - that is all.
There is no religious significance to it whatsoever. It is mainly the nomadic people who use it. Some of them are religious, some are not.
It is simply a tradition of the place where they are from.
In this particular place, Wajir in north-east Kenya, the community is majority ethnic Somali.
They have a council for Peace and Development, and when they get delegates they dress them as a nomadic person. I have been trying to track down the old man in the photo with Mr Obama, and I have been told he is Mohammed Hassan, the chair of the council itself. But he is not in town today, and we could not get hold of him. This debate reminds me of people back home in Somalia, who say that women should not wear trousers, or other cultures who say men should not wear a tie. I just don't think it makes sense.

10 Cautionary Tales Before We Settle For Obama

10 cautionary tales to remember before we settle for Obama (Wizbang)

Sorta gives one pause, eh?

blackgang

sounds reasonable to me.

AntRobertson

This is why, regardless of what happens in the primaries, Obama - nor any other black man - will not be elected to the White House.

Scratch the surface and just underneath you'll find this.

BobbyTit's links didn't work. Binned.

But as for the US flag pin - worn exclusively by politicians - it's a phony display of fake patriotism that many Americans are guilty of.

You should not wear "patriotism" on your sleeve.


The Constitution is what matters.

Texpat

The Constitution is a piece of paper written 230 years ago in intentionally ambigious language. Don't overstate its importance.

Actions speak louder than words.

Milkman

I don't think its importance can be overstated. This is what has been and is, the foundation of the country.

I agree. People can volunteer, and help.

And also, the best action is the least action at the governmental level.

The less government does the better, in general. Same for Congress, and local governments.

Is he been seen praying five times a day or what might lead one to believe he is a Muslim against all evidence to the contrary?
Or is he perhaps a "Muslim mole", working to destroy freedom and democracy from within, just like the "commies" in the '50s?

Jet Gorgon

Hang on, $845 bil for the UN and $850 bil in spending -- are these separate or does the UN get $845 bil and the country get the other $5 bil? Is this annually? What's going on? I'm POed I can't watch tonight's debate.

Milkman

I've never read this above.

Where is the link for it?
