I've caught Obama fever! Obamamania, Obamarama, Obama, Obama, Obama. (I just pray to God this is clean, renewable electricity I'm feeling.)

Only white guilt could explain the insanely hyperbolic descriptions of Obama's "eloquence." His speeches are a run-on string of embarrassing, sophomoric Hallmark bromides.

In announcing his candidacy last week, Obama confirmed that he believes in "the basic decency of the American people." And let the chips fall where they may!

Obama forthrightly decried "a smallness of our politics" — deftly slipping a sword into the sides of the smallness-in-politics advocates. (To his credit, he somehow avoided saying, "My fellow Americans, size does matter.")

He took a strong stand against the anti-hope crowd, saying: "There are those who don't believe in talking about hope." Take that, Hillary!

Most weirdly, he said: "I recognize there is a certain presumptuousness in this — a certain audacity — to this announcement."

What is so audacious about announcing that you're running for president? Any idiot can run for president. Dennis Kucinich is running for president. Until he was imprisoned, Lyndon LaRouche used to run for president constantly. John Kerry ran for president. Today, all you have to do is suggest a date by which U.S. forces in Iraq should surrender, and you're officially a Democratic candidate for president.

No one gets to pick his or her ancestors, so they shouldn't be considered guilty of things their ancestors may have done wrong

Exactly! That is my point.

We don't get to pick our religion at birth either.

Adding my two cents.....another "thank you" for posting this article in full. :-)

[jellybean]

You're now on the Ann Coulter ping list. :)

The guy I feel sorry for is Harold Ford. The former representative from Tennessee is also black, a Democrat, about the same age as Obama, and is every bit as attractive. The difference is, when he talks, you don't fantasize about plunging knitting needles into your ears to stop the gusher of meaningless platitudes.

LOL. And I'll say this for Harold Ford. He didn't appeal to white guilt, and he didn't play up his African roots for dramatic effect.

Could you imagine, in World War II, a candidate named Adolf Heiz running for President, who, as a youth, had been a Nazi youth but then moved back to the US. Or a Japanese American who had studied with the Summari named Mutsi Tojo? Never, ever would have happened and someone trying to would have been liucky to simply lose without any votes.

America is infected with a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome.

Someday, maybe people will be judged for themselves and not their ancestry.

Just one of the stupid things you've said on this thread, noob. Go do your research like you said you were going to and spare us the cry baby touchy-feeling garbage.

I guess I am too idealistic.

What is "noob"?

Typical Coulter brilliance!

I love this one:

As long as Obama insists on using Hallmark card greetings in his speeches, he could at least get Jesse Jackson to help him with the rhyming.

(Well, thank heavens she wasn't insensitive enough to call him "articulate".

Is this guy running for president or trying to get people to switch to a new long-distance provider?

Beliefs are always chosen, and religon is always chosen.

[X-Ecutioner]

So this is white liberal guilt Obama is getting?

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!

Maybe Obama was inspired by this dramatization.

Another thanks for un-excerpting, Rummyfan.

I think this yahoo is writing his platitudes:
