Obama B-Day Present Lost to Streets of Chicago

Harv, you wrote: "How can a 72-year-old man make himself into a circus clown in front of the entire country and expect to be taken seriously?"

And yet, according to the latest Real Clear Politics average of 7 polls, Sen. Obama is only maintaining a 2.3 point lead over Sen. McCain. Two of these polls actually have Sen. McCain leading. Not too bad for a "72-year-old circus clown." And even more astonishing when you consider this "72-year-old circus clown" is holding up quite well against "The One."

truth tell:
"Just...he accomplished a lot in the Chicago legislature:

Yes, Obama did.... but only because Emil Jones fed him legislation which had been processed and packaged by other legislators in E J's determination to "make me a real senator"!

For the first seven years of his state senatorship, Obama did very little...

Oh he WAS is on the beginnings of a low cost housing development which, to this day, stands incomplete and unusable.....

This just to clear up any confusion.
Some places I have lived in have yellow cabs owned by several different company's with various names.

In Chicago, if it's yellow than it's Yellow Cab.

So he may not have been making a joke.

"I've learned that pretty much every yellow cab in the city belongs to the Yellow Cab Company," he says.

And he probably thinks that constitutes a "joke" -- too much time around John Kerry?

In 2005 BHO voted to give the oil companies big tax breaks. Given his current turn, isn't it fair to call him a hypocrite?

"Guess what? Calling me a racist isn’t going to win my vote – and I’m a Democrat."

Careful! Remember FISA's in play. The campaign may send over Jonathan Alter and Chris Matthews to harangue you on the errors of your understanding of The CHANGEling's re-definition of "racism".

Give me arrogant any day over whinny, old, and stupid.

If Obama's biggest flaw is his confidence than the Republicans have already lost.

I don’t care what Obama does on energy or who he picks for vice president. He’s lost my vote. He allowed his campaign to send a 4-page memo to news reporters, highlighting incidents where Hillary and/or Bill Cinton had demonstrated racism. He accused small-town Americans of disliking “people who look different than them.” (In other words, racists.) He predicted that John McCain and the Republican Party would try to make people afraid of him because he “looks different” and “has a funny name.” In other words, the Republicans are racists, too. Apparently, in ObamaWorld, virtually all white people who don’t support his candidacy are racist. Guess what? Calling me a racist isn’t going to win my vote – and I’m a Democrat. McLame is looking more and more like McPresident.

"according to Obama--he doesn't believe there is a perception that he is arrogant"

Well, he's as wrong about THAT as he is about FISA, Afghanistan, and offshore drilling. Coming soon: The CHANGEling, with a boost from Exelon, embraces nuclear everything ...

obamas not humble

lol didnt he just say how humbbling this experience is

oh thats right john mccain is claiming obama isnt humble

right hes using lies to perpetuate his failing candidacy

and you people are buyng it hook line and sinker

I would think that a $500,000 rework and repaint of his 757 would have been enough of a birthday present. Took the American Flag off of the tail and put his logo on it. Why haven't we heard about this? Is this how he spends his campaign contributions? If so, I am glad that I am not giving up any of my hard earned income.

Obama needs some humble pie for his birthday instead of cake.

I heard he has "President" written on the back of his seat--aboard O-Force-One.

But according to Obama--he doesn't believe there is a perception that he is arrogant. OK

Bet 0bama's candidacy that the present is "Obama Nation".

Jake: Have you given up reporting anything other than 0bama? Is this somehow news?

"It's hard to get good help these days."

Notice that the cabbie's at fault (for "clinging" to his music), then THAT ordeal is compounded by the DOORman.

Why is NO bonehead move these people make ever ISN'T somebody else's fault?

The poster who suggests there's a politi-bomb in the briefcase might be right -- otherwise, why does the media even KNOW about this?

Happy birthday, Obama!
In a few years you'll be old enough
to run for president....for real!

Shame they lost it - heard that they had bought him a big box of humility.

"What Senator McCain neglected to mention was that during those thirty years, he was in Washington for twenty-six of them," said the Senator. "And in all that time, he did little to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. He voted against increased fuel efficiency standards and opposed legislation that included tax credits for more efficient cars. He voted against renewable sources of energy. Against clean biofuels. Against solar power. Against wind power. Against an energy bill that -- while far from perfect -- represented the largest investment in renewable sources of energy in the history of this country. So when Senator McCain talks about the failure of politicians in Washington to do anything about our energy crisis, it's important to remember that he's been a part of that failure."

"Maybe there is something in that briefcase that may open a start a scandal."

Geez, is playing bait-and-switch on every single issue not ENOUGH of a scandal?

(Are ALL of Obama's associates freakishly tall? Maybe one of the bigger problems is that the whole organization is dominated by indivviduals with Marfan Syndrome? :^)

So you think having a WOMAN President wouldn't be change? Obama's "new ideas" are the very same one's I and Democrats like me have long fought for. We have protested, volunteered, contributed and voted to be told that we were the old ways of politics. Excuse me? Adding color and the word change, does not change the values for which we have all stood for, one of the many reasons Obama and Clinton were both representations to their supporters. So if the change BO meant was about Politics, that argument should have been used for REPUBLICANS not the CLINTONS and US.
