I wonder to hear that some Americans did not know much about Obama, is he not a cetezen of that country, we have hard that his granfather hails from Kenya as a result of slavery,coloniasism we are not realistic indeed, but he is trying to contribute in his nation building, so if he wins the primaries let us see wether if he can depeate John Mccain of the Republicans. I have no ill-feeling against whomever wins Clinto or Obama to me they are all the same.

I had to post just because of Fujita’s use of the term “cognitive dissonance” to describe relationship issues…Belly laugh! How about “pre-coital sociological ritual” instead of dating? Thanks for the good time, Frank. Anyway, good luck to all those backing the big B-O based on his “change” trumpeting…When it all shakes out, America will once again “meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” Settle back and enjoy the ride, and hope they don’t raise your taxes to much.

As Dogbert once advised future Pointy-Haired Bosses:

“You can’t be wrong unless you take a position. Don’t fall into that trap.”

“one of our greatest presidents,” based on what? You really think this is a rational choice?

Have you forgotten what the Regan years brought? High unemployment rate, Iran-Contra, the S&L scandal…

FDR took the wealth of individual and gave it to the Federal Reserve, he brought the US into war, a conflict he went out of his way to create.

Lies, theft and lacking genuine sympathy.

Anyone having a romance with either of these two characters…

hey cm, I gotta bridge, interested?

Interesting post. However, all good relationships begin with such a great romance. I mean would you want to marry someone with whom you didn’t have such a great romance to begin with?

Both FDR and Reagan started out with such a romance, and still became very popular presidents.

Also, the more Obama campaigns in any given state, the more people like him. I think in any general election timeframe, Obama will become more popular, as people get to know him and his inspirational message more.

Plus, Obama is very careful to set expectations. He mentions that he will make mistakes, and that change won’t be easy, and will require participation from the public.

I personally think Obama will be elected and go on to become one of our greatest presidents.

I read The Audacity of Hope. I was eager to find if there was anything more to this guy than reverse racism.
He talks about a variety of issues, and his standard treatment of them is to show convincingly that he (or his staff writing the book) has an intelligent understanding of both sides of echo issue. If he makes it clear how he stands (which he doesn’t always do) he’s just a regular liberal.
He’s constantly talking about experiences hee had as a “senator”, which give one the impression he is a seasoned politician. The book was published in 2006, he was elected to the US senate in late 2004. I suspect many of these “senate” experiences were in the Illinois STATE senator, ie, the junior league.
There was almost a complete absence of any mind-blowing ideals or proposals in the book. I did not find it terribly informative or inspiring. I am alarmed by how junior the guy is.
Hillary looks like she’ll be done with in Texas (two days from now), so it’ll be Obama or McCain, who I think is too old.

A politician is never your friend, a relative, a neighbor, a husband or wife perhaps, but never, ever your friend.

Because of my ‘hips and gams,’ as you so delicately put it, I’ve been doing my best to avoid the fatty take out foods here on the campaign trail. I’ve had one of my aids run to the corner 7/11, headquartered here in proud, free thinking, diverse and intelligent state of Texas, Home to George Bush’s Enron, and have had HIM purchase some very delicious American made yogurt. On occasion, not often mind you, but on occasion I have found that it is always best to peal the foiled back on the plastic container produced, by the way, in the hard working and legal citizens of the great state of Ohio and check for mold.

Now this is just a hunch, but I suspect this batch of yogurt, we’ll call it O, I suspect this batch of yogurt has mold and big corporate banker money running through its core. Best to check the side of this Buckeye State cup and look at the expiration date, I think what you will find is that this particular batch is at least a year old. Just toss it, honey.

Deb – Since you brought up elephants… you might think those ears on are cute now, but within six months you’ll be joining the choir looking for a reason not to call him Dumbo. Anyone voting for a candidate because he is the best looking and most popular, because his voice is soft as he sings sweet nothings into your ear, then what you really want and deserve as president and leader of this great and free nation is Brittany Spears.
