Barack Obama Is Afraid Of Himself
michellemalkin.com ^ | July 31, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 07/31/2008 9:57:56 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

How moronic is Barack Obama’s latest, bogus whine about Republicans emphasizing his funny name and how “different” he looks from other American presidents to gin up fear?

Well, look who’s afraid of himself. This comes not from the GOP. Not from conservative talk radio. Not from John McCain, who has been too busy calling members of his own party racist for challenging the Obamessiah.

No, this comes from the Senate website of…Barack Obama:

I remember when I first ran for the state Senate - my very first race. A seat had opened up, and some friends asked me if I’d be interested in running. Well, I thought about it, and then I did what every wise man does when faced with a difficult decision: I prayed, and I asked my wife.

And after consulting with these higher powers, I threw my hat in the ring and I did what every person on a campaign does - I talked to anyone who’d listen.

I went to bake sales and barber shops and if there were two guys standing on the corner I’d pull up and hand them literature. And everywhere I went I’d get two questions:

First, they’d ask, “Where’d you get that funny name, Barack Obama?” Because people just couldn’t pronounce it. They’d call me “Alabama,” or they’d call me “Yo Mama.” And I’d have to explain that I got the name from my father, who was from Kenya.

As for how “different” Obama looks, here is another “attack” on his looks. Not from the GOP. Not from conservative talk radio. Not from John McCain.

Nobody walks up to a grown man and asks such a stupid question. He just makes crap up.

The ABC news folks are going wild panting and gasping selling their Oh My Gawd McCain is questioning the Obamameisters experience.

Obama and his jackbooted thugs err..cross dressing pantie waisted one agenda air heads are making this one of the filthiest campaigns in Americas history.

Obama is doing more than playing the race card he's trying to divide and conquer by restarting the Civil War.

If Obama doesn't like himself, the rest of us should follow suit and take his own advice and vote accordingly in November!

If I walked up to him I wouldn’t care as much about his name as why he thinks lazy people deserve part of the money I work 45 hours a week for. That’s the bottom line, and I’m sure he would not have an answer that would satisfy me because an answer to that question that would satisfy me does not exist.

If I wanted to be a socialist I’d have moved to europe a long time ago.

And I’d have to explain that I got the name from my father, who was from Kenya.

THis guy's got some big issues. Why not just say "it's African" and then say "it may be funny but at least it's memorable" and move on? If he's still talking about it now he's got a complex.

Didn’t this snake oil salesman rename himslef that name? I thought he was actually Barry and then renamed himself? At anyrate with all blacks giving themselves African or Islamic names why would anyone ask him about his name anyway? He acts like it is a really tough one to pronounce or I guess thinks everyone is a moron and has to ask aobut it! I’m sick of listening to this baffoon-it’s like listening to that moron John F’n Kerry when he ran for President! I’ll be glad when Nov comes and we don’t have to hear from this racist piece of crap and his loud mouth wife any more! Did anyone else here I think it was on Fox or maybe on Sean’s radio show can’t remember that Obama and ould wife don’t give kids Christmas or birthday gifts? What a fun bunch!

I actually get an upset stomach when I hear his man repeat this abominable statement with transparent implications about his face “being different than the ones on the (money) bills”, and implying inherent racism if you don’t vote for him. This guy is a work and he’s DANGEROUS. Are we the only ones who see that?

The seat wasn’t exactly open. He first had to throw an old Black civil rights icon under the bus to clear the field.

It was on hannity & colmes last night. Probably the reason they don’t give their kids Christmas gifts is because they don’t really believe in Christmas, behind closed doors.

IF you know what I mean.
