lol, that's my assessment of him.
Will not be long before Democrats are calling him "Obie", or "Rack".
Thank you. This guy is a zero.
Oreo?
They're both a freakin' joke.
It seems to me that if Obama decides to challenge HRC, he better watch his barack.
yes, he's a zero.
but propelled by the media, transforming him into a superstar celebrity figure - he could win.
"Is Obama a Muzzie? Does anyone know?"
No, he is Christian, but his fathers and half-brothers are Muslim. He was born in Hawaii.

I don't believe it.
This guy looks good initially but as soon as you scratch beneath the surface he starts looking more and more hollow, and unable to stand up to any challenge by a REAL candidate.
Ooops, my bad. I have seen him on CSPAN. He does speak common sense. I was thinking of someone else.
I never heard that he was born in Kenya. As far as I know, he was born in Hawaii, while his father was in college, when his father got accepted to Harvard grad school, he abandoned the family, returning only a few times to visit the kid. The mother remarried, another Muslim and moved to Indonesia, then back to Hawaii. The kid was raised alternately Muslim and Catholic. Since he was Muslim in his early days, I would consider him to still be Muslim.
they said the same thing about Hillary winning in NY. about how the famed "NY media" was going to ask her tough questions. we all know how it played out.
any negative ads against Obama will be portrayed as racist.
what we need to do, is get some good conservative Hispanic candidates - some visible people, groom them for our team. To beat a guy like Obama, you need major Hispanic support. The Hispanics don't cower to this "white guilt" syndrome regarding african americans.
I don't think that he is a "zero". He is self-made. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, he is intelligent, educated and likable.
I'd vote for him before I'd vote for Hillary, but then again I wouldn't vote for Hillary even if hell froze over, so I guess that isn't saying much!
Common..... NY?
I love my friends and relatives in NY but the creeps they elect have NO CHANCE nation-wide.
Obama needs to only win Ohio, plus the Kerry states, to be elected president.
One main reason why Barak Hussein Obama will not win the Presidency: he's a not-quite-one-term Senator:
(1) He has no executive experience, neither as a Governor nor as a cabinet officer nor as a general.
(2) He also lacks any serious experience dealing with issues of national importance, as a distinguished junior senator for a mere four years.
(3) Beginning in 1964, senators are just 0-5 at winning the Presidency when they manage to get a major partisan nomination.
(4) Americans never have held a particularly favorable opinion of Congress, and they rightfully hold this particular deeply corrupted, bickering, odious class of clowns in particularly low esteem and even more loathe the Democrats among them. The American people simply see a group of odious obese obstructionists oblivious to national security but bereft of the leadership skills to do anything meaningful besides transferring tax dollars as kickbacks to bribing lobbyists.
It's historically even more ludicrous to assume that a Republican Senator (who never served as Governor) will ascend to the Presidency. No Party ever has nominated a Senator to succeed a two-term president. They always choose a senior administration official (vice-president, secretary of state, or another cabinet officer) or occasionally a Governor.
Cause the mainstream media said he was a star.
