What's Obama Hiding? [TNR]

McCain's surrogates are now raising questions about Barack Obama's past use of mind-altering substances. "God forbid somebody would do some reporting on Barack Obama's use of drugs," complained Rudy Giuliani on Fox News.

Actually, the New York Times did just that back in February--and they discovered that Obama did fewer drugs than he said he did in his book. According to the Times investigators, Obama may have "added some writerly touches in his memoir to make the challenges he overcame seem more dramatic."

That's right. When will Obama come clean with us and admit he's a secret goody-two-shoes?

Note that I chose "Political Humor/Cartoons" as one of the topics, but the folks at the left-leaning "New Republic" take the NYT gospel seriously for the Messiah. Of course the "writerly touches" might have been done by Ayers, not Obambi.

I am sure that Larry Sinclair could help with the report about Obama’s use of drugs!

They wouldn’t be raising the question of past drug use if it was as far in the past as Zerobama wants us to believe—when he was in high school. They must have much more recent evidence of Zerobama using “mind altering drugs” which is likely code for something more serious than even cocaine.

Now somebody aint exactly coming clean. As self appointed Solomon for the day, I declare both are guilty.

Would those challenges include converting to Christianity?

What’s Obama hiding?

His birth certificate, his cigarettes, his medical records, his college thesis, his mentor’s last name, his relationship with Odinga, his relationship with Ayers, etc. etc. etc.

The drug use I want to hear about is his partaking of leftist radicalism and revolutionary thought. Obama’s bios are a smokescreen, IMO.

Oprah is now obligated to take “The One”, the same way she did James Frey, another one of her “discoveries” , and subject him to public humiliation for exaggerating and fictionalizing his “condition”, and threatening to destroy the “Oprah brand”. It’s not gonna happen.

Bill Maher said that 0's claim to being a Christian was a problem, but that the hoped and believed that 0 was lying about that. He's going to have to overcome that "Christianity" thing to keep his base happy.

I WAS a Christian before I WASN'T a christian"
