OBAMA TEAM BEGINS WORK ON PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION

I have a hunch he also has a team working on counting every vote, fighting for the disenfranchised, and preselecting which sympathetic counties to launch court challenges if he doesn't like the election outcome. I guarantee it.

[LayoutGuru2]

Dang, you beat me to it.

[gathersnomoss]

Well hell, why doesn’t BoMan back his Allied Van Lines truck up to the Cracker House right now?

This is bs!

[gathersnomoss]

Well written, Glenn. It is you, right?

Yes, be very afraid!

[Salvation]

Hope they save their breath, because Obama will not be the winner.

[Sooth2222]

[gathersnomoss]

There will be hanging chads to the Nth degree. That you can bet on!!! And don't forget, what color are those chads? That is right, racist white.

[frankiep]

I am absolutely dreading the debates. I know that Obama hasn’t shown himself to be a competent speaker without having a teleprompter in front of him, but you can be sure that his massive campaign team and handlers know this and are rectifying that problem. He will be competent enough to not look like a stuttering fool by the time the debates come around. McCain’s words will make sense (for the most part) but will put people to sleep before they even hear them (and will someone please tell him to stop saying “my friends”).

So on national TV in front of millions of people who will be taking their first real look into the race, it will come down to a young, smooth talking, charasmatic candidate, debating an old, monotone, unexciting one. How do you think this is going to end?

For a minute I thought I was Rip van Winkle.

[NCC-1701]

“...Heck, 1 year will be enough for the county to see what B. Hussein is all about...”

Heck, I give him three months to show how incompetent he is. It'll be like looking through Swiss cheese. You won't be able to see ALL of his incompetence, but you'll see enough of it. HE MUST BE STOPPED!!!!!

RUSH: Now, as promised, we turn to the official Obama criticizer on the EIB Network, Bo Snerdley.

SNERDLEY: Thank you. This is Bo Snerdley, Official Barack Criticizer for the EIB Network, certified, black enough to criticize with organic slave blood. I have a message. Mr. Obama, your overseas visit to, uhhh, um, Iraq, um, the war zones is (sigh), uh, proving to be a world-class embarrassment. Uh, aside from giving report to the efforts of, uh Mu-muk-muk... Muqtada al-Sadr who hates America, you've really said nothing there that you, uhhh, didn't say here, which, uhh, um it calls into question the -- let me think about it -- the, I should say the whole purpose of the trip. You continue to denigrate the efforts of our military and won't acknowledge their success -- and to make matters worse, your, uh, stuttering performance, uh, is, uh, now being, uh, held up to ridicule despite all the glowing reports from your public, uh, public relations, uh, uh, specialist, uh, agents in the media. Your performance, sir, has not made you look presidential. It has really, I want to say "harmed" your presidential chances in the eyes of those who take foreign policy seriously, uh. This has, uh, truly been a sad performance, sir.

And now an extended translation for our EIB brothers and sisters in the Hood.

A'right, dog. I'm going to come with it on you today. First up B. What's up with this Iraqi dealy, yo? We got to chill over there. We got issues here, my brother. Like gas prices, my man. You know what I'm saying? You're posing, man. You even got words how you're "pimping Bush's ride" over there, mang. And then you go over there and what's the first thing you do? You dis our troops, man! You givin' props to Mookie! Gee, man! Sadr yo? His boys was the ones flaming the IEDs on our boys and you are claiming they are the ones who want to cool us out? It was our guys that did that, yo? What you should have done if you had to go over there anyway, was just have a sit-down with old Mookie, mang. Pull out that New Yorker magazine cover -- you know, the one with you in the turban and Shelly with that AK wrapped on them, man. Tell them, "Yo, you see this, Bro? This is me and my shorty. We're going to come over there and whip some ass after I get in, yo, if you don't get things chilled." That's what diplomacy is. But then, no. What you do, man, is you give this guy props. And then, yo, look. Yo, what's up with all this stutterering, mang? You running for president, man, or are you trying to get Porky Pig's job with, "T-t-t-that's all, folks." Come on, main. Did Jesse snatch them baby makers from you, bro? What's up with that, man? You went to Harvard, yo! That's all you got: "Uh, uh, uh, uh"? Yo, even Reverend Wright doesn't come out like that. He makes it flow, man. You ever heard him say, "Uh, God d-d-d-damn America"? He make it flow, man. What's with you? Then, on top of all this, you, you go over there and you say the biggest problem in Iraq is that so many men are unemployed? No, no, no, man! The biggest problem over there is they ain't giving us our props, yo. We are the ones that killed off old Hussein -- I'm sorry, Saddam-y -- for them, man. We freed them, yo! We looking for work? You ought to go over there and tell them brothers, "Y'all need to start busy to build a pipeline to break us off some of that oil, you know what I'm saying?" But no, mang. You go over there and start talking about their unemployment? When was the last time he was in Kill-adelphia, yo? Brothers is trying to get paid over here, man, can't find no jobs. They unemployed? When's the last time you was down in Katrina, mang? Come on, Bro, what's up with that? You, you know, I'm about to check you off, Obama, man. You need to start listening. Every time you step out, you're chumping yourself, chumping off our country and our military, yo. This is not cool!

That concludes our statement.

RUSH: And that was the Official Obama Criticizer Bo Snerdley.

[popdonnelly]

A story fed to a receptive press by the Obama campaign.

"and handlers know this and are rectifying that problem."

Hey !Hussein, when didja start wearing that "Hearing Aid?"

[McGruff]

With less than six months to go before he would be sworn in as the nation’s 44th president, Sen. Barack Obama has directed his aides to begin planning for the transition.

At least John Fng Kerry waited till the afternoon of election day to start preparing his acceptance speech and we all know how that worked out. This fool is starting now?

[GraniteStateConservative]

He who fails to plan, plans to fail.

There is nothing at all wrong about getting a jump on potential problems you might have to deal with. That’s what every successful person I know does.

This is a stupid thing to be annoyed about.

[Menehune56]

It’s pretty clear to me that the first black president will be a Republican. Any black Democrat running for president has to do too much pandering to blacks and they end up being tagged as the black candidate.

[reagan_fanatic]

Has he done his first State of the Union address yet?

[frankiep]

ROFL!!!!

Hopefully it will be that blatant!
