A PAID POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT BY SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D- ILL)
My fellow Identity-Americans:
As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for their ... well, support.
Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.
I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.
I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a fema le employee he was having an extra marital affair with who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.
And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.
Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.
I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.
Americans are tired of thinking.
It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart.
So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don't think, just do.
And do it for me.
Thank You.
Hey...
Dont sugar coat it.
Tell us how you really feel.
Ain’t it the truth? Right on. This is the platform of the radical, fantic left in America. It is ALL ABOUT POWER OVER THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA — straight out of the Communist Manifesto, really.
After a blazing start, methinks Obamamania is running on fumes
Price of gas-maybe fumes are way to go....He is
not slowing down and his young (18-30 years) supporters are in
the hunt with vigor....face it...he’s the man we will
face after the Clintoooons are gone and buried...JK
I got a feeling this presidential election is going to be decided by the party that can hold its nose tightest.
Every election cycle they hoot and holler about the “Yoot” vote.
Oh, they show up for the Barack concerts and the rallys but they never show up on election day.
Remember “Vote or die”? “Rock the vote?”
Thompson was my first choice.
And I had to hold my nose for him
College kids don’t vote, and all the leftist schemes to get them to have invariably failed.
Remember the “Rock The Vote” campaign?
They castigated her for it, but Hillary’s mockery of him: “The sky will open, the flowers will bloom, the light will pour down from heaven...” was perfect ridicule. She isn’t the right person to deliver the message, but it was still on target.
Michelle?
