Obama Declines Kerry Endorsement

(2008-01-10) — Sen. Barack Obama today declined the endorsement of Sen. John Kerry, saying his presidential campaign is about “hope and change”, and he doesn’t want to “send mixed messages.”
Sticking with his new stump speech refrain, Sen. Obama said, “They told us you can’t run a presidential campaign without kissing up to every Democrat who ever rode this donkey to defeat. But I say, yes…yes we can.”
“They told us you can’t diss a former presidential candidate who’s a professional Vietnam war veteran,” he added, “But I say yes…yes we can.”
An unnamed spokesman for the Obama campaign said the endorsement rejection is not necessarily permanent.
“If we get to the convention and our campaign needs a little extra shove to put us over the top,” the Obama aide said, “then we might ask Sen. Kerry to …you know…do it.”
getting hard to tell the real from the satire anymore. :)
He was for the Kerry endorsement before he was against it....
“Well! That’s just another slap in the face after all the rest. Not to mention the conspiracies against me ... and all the lies. What is he thinking, I’m reporting for duty to help him! I’m not trying to steal his light.” - John Kerry, at press conference at confidential location for his safety. /sarc
That is so funny.
No. You have to write books, campaign for president, lie about your service, get elected by dissing the service, equivocate about your congressional track record on every issue under the sun, marry a VERY wealthy widow, etc..... get it?
