DETROIT (AP/WXYZ) - Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will be conspicuously absent when Barack Obama makes his first campaign stop in the city since effectively wrapping up the Democratic presidential nomination.

The embattled mayor, facing criminal charges and public scrutiny in an embarrassing text-messaging sex scandal, has decided not to attend Monday night's rally at Joe Louis Arena.

Who’s he kidding? Kwame was told point-blank NOT to attend.

Too bad.

Kwame is an also-ran——he’ll be whining the loser’s lament:

“I coulda been a contender if only I didn’t get the hots for some dame.”

The word is out: nobody who has any tarnish is to be seen associating with his obamaness.

Pretty soon we'll be seeing shots of him hanging out with Donnie and Marie.

barack mcgovern might have trouble finding rats to stand with him in locations that count. Of course he’ll get frenchie and the swimmer to stand with him in Boston or plastic face and box shorts in San Fran, but how
about when B-mac goes into rural areas? Will he skip Okla. now? Will he give Barrow in Ga. the chance to show what a “Big supporter” he is?

Quite honestly, I had no idea who Kwame Kilpatrick was, so I Googled him. Clearly, he's another piece of dirty baggage Obama wants to throw under the bus. For someone with less than 150 days of federal legislative experience and voting “Present” more than he voted “Yea” or “Nay”, Obama seems to have a lot of bones in the closet.

What lesson should we take from the fact that OBAMA has lots of friends and supporters who are NOT WELCOME to share the stage or camera with Obama...

Why is the Obama camp so concerned or ashamed of their support, or the image that may be conveyed by their support or presence?????

Many if not most of Obama’s supporters are extremely flawed and a danger to the Republic:

Farrakhan
New Black Panther Party
A GROSSLY disproportionate number of black voters, with a poor track record for selecting quality candidates.
Hamas
PLO
CAIR
Muslims throughout the world
Felons in Prison
Generational Welfare Leaches
Leftists, Marxists and America’s Communist Party
Code Pink
Boobs not Bombs.
MoveOn.org
KOS
Soros
Most of American Media

THAT is the message behind keeping MANY of Obama’s supporters out of view.
Obama who came on the scene discribing himself as the “uniter” has clearly become the candidate of racists, surrender monkeys and America haters.

Think carefully about that, folks...
The “CHANGE” may be fatal.....
