...the observation of an LA Times writer that Obama is “that oddest of all creatures: a leader who’s never led.”
I wonder...Who was the last Democratic President with substance? Truman maybe.
Obama is still in the "God bless Mom and Apple pie" stage. It
is pleasantry and bromides for now. Sooner or later he will need to ante up.
A white granular powder?
More like brown sugar. A man with nothing to qualify him for President.
But then he's facing a woman with nothing to qualify her for anything - except perhaps prison.
if the gop runner in the 2008 election is particularly weak, obama could be a jimmuh ii. i think he would sell better than hillary.
I am starting to get sick about now
Without using his full complete legal name, how can we tell?
"I wonder...Who was the last Democratic President with substance?" - clinton, but his substance was a prohibited one.
It's hard to have substance when all you are is Turban Durbin's sock puppet.
Obama is so very liberal when the real campaigning gets going he'll sink like a rock.
Obama is the Dems "Anyone but Illary Candidate" and the beauty of it is that she KNOWS it too!
How is she and her war room gonna go out there and blast/destroy a BLACK when her Hubby was the 1st BLACK Prez???
He can't serve what he doesn't have.
Pretty soon he will qualify for only initials in headlines, and that way they will not be able to avoid the "Hussein" word. Why? Because it must be "BHO" and not merely "BO."
About the title, isn't that the case for a lot of politicians, and especially Democrats? (rhetorical).
""...the observation of an LA Times writer that Obama is “that oddest of all creatures: a leader who’s never led.”"
I cannot think of a Senator who has led. That's why they are Senators and not Governors. Hillay led nothing. Obama led nothing. Biden, Dodd, Kennedy, Edwards.. Nada, zippo.
At least Richardson and Vilsak have led. These two might be the only ones that would have a shot with maybe a Senator on the ticket as a VP.
The only thing that Obama might have working for him is that he isn't a Washington insider so his idea for corruption at the local level probably wouldn't carryover to the Whitehouse. Everyone else is a POS.
POP QUIZ! When Barak Hussein "converted" to Christianity, what Christian name was he given or did he take? William? John?
Anyone? Bueller?
Does he now go by Robert Obama?
Anyone?
(crickets..)
LOL...Good one. His substance was a "controlled substance."
