“Some of the newer AIDS cocktails may be having an effect on his judgment.”
*****
His judgment wasn’t that great to begin with...considering what he did to contract AIDS.
Johnson is as clueless as Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.
Obama has gotta be smarter than all of them combined.
I don’t know about that. He explained it to his wife as having gotten it from a toilet seat. < sarcasm off >
Obama should declare that the Mrs. William Clinton, wife of impeached ex president, should pull this ad immediately..
Yeah, and he couldn’t show up to games anymore because he was in declining health. What was that, twenty years ago?
And now his word is supposed to count for something?
If blacks want respect, they’re going to have to quit acting like trained seals every time the democrats wave a sardine in their direction.
Al does it, Jessie does it and Magic isn’t above doing it. I used to like Magic, but I’ve lost quite a bit of respect for him.
Obama is the only one in this group that won’t do tricks on que. I respect the guy for that.
I don't think Obama is qualified for the job, but the dems using this belittling stuff is alarming. If a Republican said the same thing--well, you know the rest.
An inflamed urethra not likely to be mistaken for a kidney.
And that is Obama should by all rights not even be running for President because he is a rookie and is prone to make mistakes.
Let’s take the worse case scenario and Obama wins and becomes President...
First of all he is a Liberal so he is bound to be an awful President. Second, because he is so inexperienced he will make even more mistakes on top of being a Lib.
By the time Obama is done, he will ruin the prosperity of the nation, strengthen the enemy and set us up for more 9/11’s, just to name a few of the most obvious impending Obama disasters. You can imagine just about anything and validly add it here because Obama is a Lib and is so inexperienced.
America will eventually bounce back, but will blacks be able to say the same thing? Because Obama is constantly pointing to the color of his skin, it is the blacks who in the end are going to be stuck with holding the bill and be the worse off for it.
This is kind of like David Dinkins in NYC. Except Dinkins was experienced and it still did not help him because for him too it was about the color of his skin and he failed to represent the wider NYC populace and the divisions were clear.
Now who is going to be the next black mayor of NYC? Don’t hold your breath. Obama as a rookie should be sitting on the bench and the democrats would do better looking for a more experienced black person who at least is a moderate and not a Liberal and the blacks in the long run would be better off too.
Once a racist plantation party, always a racist plantation party.
I appreciate your comments, but if we were to take your advice, Hillary would become queen mum. Care to take anything back? We may not think Obama is ready, but then the nation isn’t ready for the prissy Mrs either.
If Obama is going to get the condescending, tongue-thrashing the Democrats believe is well-deserved, it’s got to be done by a member of his own race and one that has the credentials as a veteran of the nasty side of life, HIV-AIDS versus rookie status that seven years drug habit is by comparison.
Was Magic a catcher or a doper—we all know it’s next to impossible to get it hetero.
Except from Hillary as she is a man more than most.
Experienced? Experienced lout, maybe.
Dinkins spent more time out at Forest Hills watching tennis than he did tending to business in his office. If it hadn’t been for John Lindsay, he’d have been the worst Mayor of NYC in the 20th century.
On Friday night there was another attack, a radio ad from the Clinton campaign in which basketball star and Clinton friend Earvin "Magic" Johnson calls Obama a "rookie." The Obama campaign immediately produced a rebuttal noting that Johnson in his rookie year won the MVP award in the National Basketball Association finals.
Not only does it effectively respond to Magic’s arrogant, comments, tone, it does so with grace and style in a sort of homage to Magic’s skills on the court.
