Sen. Barack Obama enjoyed dinner with the family including his wife, Michelle, and two daughters.

"Where's the text?" reporters shouted while holding out cell phones to get the presumptive Democratic nominee's attention as he walked into Roy's in downtown Chicago.

At first, Obama, D-Ill., acknowledge the press but after some louder shouts, he relented and looked over with a laugh. As he left, the intrepid band of reporters following Obama's every move tried again.

"How's Obama-Biden sound?" reporters yelled. "See ya guys!" Obama replied.

The candidate has since returned to the Park Hyatt hotel in Chicago where aides advise he will burn the midnight oil,

This is the moment before the fall - and it’s gonna be a doozy!

Afterwards, it will be blamed on racism.

Media folks should get a life and unwrap themselves from Hussein’s little finger. Maybe they stop paying attention. Nah won’t ever happen.

He’s not that smart.

However, I hear that it’s been pretty clear to them that she could rescue his narrow ass.

My theory is that no decision has been made and that the Klintoons are in the fray.

If I where the media, I would be pissed at Obama playing them all week on this little babysitter story.

I have a sneaking feeling the real story is not that he hasn't made up his mind, I have a feeling he is being turned down by everyone he is calling. Hilldog has been setting up next week for a coup and she is starting by turning his potential babysitters against him.

And FUnnie!!! I am privy to information on Biden that will DESTROY the Obama campaign and maybe the Democrat Party. And the fringe benefit is that it will be incredibly FUnnie when you find out.

p.s. The Obama vetting team must be incredibly crappy.

With Hillary supporters filing lawsuits to challenge Barry’s eligibility in at least three States the last couple of days, I think the fun is just beginning.

I wonder if Biden really wants to babysit Obama anyway? He is in Hilldog’s camp, they are all just playing Obama for the $$ and media.
