CBS’s Tough Look at Obama: Loves Scrabble, Doesn’t Like Ice Cream (!!!)
NewsBusters.org ^ | 6/18/2008 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 06/18/2008 1:07:13 PM PDT by Pyro7480

On Wednesday’s CBS "Early Show," co-host Julie Chen teased an upcoming segment on Barack Obama: "...during the long primary season, we all learned a lot about Barack Obama. He is a Senator. He's a Harvard grad. He's a husband. And he is a father. But this morning, you're going to learn five things you probably don't know about Barack Obama." Later, in David Letterman style, correspondent Jeff Glor introduced the story: "...here are the top five things you likely don't know about Barack Obama."

Among those things, were important facts such as "Number four -- in addition to enjoying basketball and cycling during down time, Obama loves to play Scrabble." In addition to the top five, Glor later added: "Now one more thing we learned that didn't quite make our list, Julie. Obama's job as a teenager was at a Baskin Robbins and to this day he does not like ice cream." Chen responded: "So rocky road is like his Kyrptonite?" While Glor and Chen focused on Obama trivia, earlier in the show, co-host Russ Mitchell offered a mere one sentence news brief on the Illinois Senator’s opposition to a Republican plan to allow offshore oil drilling.

Obama loves to play Scrabble.

And his favorite word is M-A-R-X-I-S-T.

That’s 18 points, plus 50 for using all 7 letters. 68 points! (Not counting any double or triple bonuses, of course).

::::::
What she did not say (as expected by the MSM) is that he is an anti-American, a racist, an extremist miltary hater, a pander to our enemies, a radical socialist, and has a background of associations with underworld figures, America-haters, Muslims, education in a Madrassa, and a history that the MSM will not expose.

He probably never got to taste ice cream. As it approached his mouth, the heat melted it. (As to the source of that heat, I’m too much of a gentleman to name it.)

Especially vanilla. He hates vanilla.

WTH kind of commie scum doesn't like ice-cream? This man has serious issues. Maybe he thinks ice-cream is made with pigs milk?

Michelle has toast, fruit, and bacon for breakfast. "We're bacon people," she admits about the Obama family. What could be more American than that?

I'd love to see a pic of that, thus confirming that he even flip-flops on ice-cream. I bet it was in a waffle cone too.

"...to this day he does not like ice cream."

HORSES***T.

Barack Hussein Obama has participated in dozens of photo ops getting ice cream while on the scampaign trail.

This is his attempt at a "boxers or briefs" moment.

If Barack Obama will LIE about not liking Ice Cream, makes you wonder what else he will LIE about.

“While Glor and Chen focused on Obama trivia, earlier in the show, co-host Russ Mitchell offered a mere one sentence news brief on the Illinois Senator’s opposition to a Republican plan to allow offshore oil drilling.”

The MSM is in full spin mode to divert attention from Obama’s connections and activities that would scare the crap out of the electorate if examined in the light of day. Underneath his Ghandi personna beats the heart of a communist dictator.

Like they got it wrong when they reported that Hillary Clinton was named after Sir Edmund Hillary or that there were memos proving that George W. Bush was AWOL while serving the National Guard.

Is this the food she ate, or is this a description of some of “The View” hosts?
