I love Osama. What a compelling story. A man who struggles with the silver spoon that gags him, who must defy the odds of priviledge and strives to better himself by gaining entrance to the best and most elite of schools on the basis of his race. Ah so compelling, what sacrifice, what valor, what willpower.

And when listens to his speeches one wonders, where’s the beef? The only thing I hear is the same fluff that someone from Nigeria sends me before explaining why I need to send a check for 5,000 before I can get my 46 million.

No doubt we will hear from him again. The Clintons never seem to tire of their tricks and always turn up. Why shouldn’t Osama?

Rick, look at some of his actual positions and you’ll see that supporting him over McCain is crazy. He believes in the Living Wage, for example, a nutty concept that would require teenagers at McDonald’s to be paid enough to support a family of four.

Don’t let your bitterness over Fred’s loss lead you to Coulterville.

If it were just the Obama we see in debates, and the Obama we read, you would make sense.

But the real Obama I fear is the Obama hooked into some of the worst of Illinois politics.

That Obama isn’t fully fleshed out yet, but he’s coming and he’ll make the issues irrelevant when we finally see the man. Madigan wasn’t kidding when he called Obama Messiah. It’s just Obama incarnate is going to look ward-heeler; not savior-healer.

I’m also a conservative who admires Obama (but I can’t see myself ever voting for him for the same reasons Rick points out). I’ve mentioned that I admire Obama to some of my conservative friends, and they look at me like I’m nuts. His “non-specific language and platitudes” are not unlike what I heard from the candidates running for Student Body President in high school - so in that respect he is hard to take too seriously at this point in his career. But, watch out. He is a very effective communicator, and projects a hope (like you know who) that resonates with many. When he gets more experience and if he can steer clear of a legitimate scandal, he will be tough to beat in 4, 8, or 12 years.

…he is a current member of the worst Congress in the history of the United States.
This is so far over the top I’d be interested in your justifications for this statement. In case you haven’t noticed, the Democrats don’t even have a Lieberman-proof majority in the Senate, so the Republican Senate minority has been free to block most legislation, and has.
I expect to see some actual filibusters when (OK if) the Democrats gain a few Senate seats.

Having Obama lead black people to a more empowered, self-reliant and less victim-oriented mindset than their mainstream leadership is extremely appealing. It would almost justify the fight it would set up in congress to ward off the inevitable avelanche of socialist policies.

However, he vows to pull out of Iraq at any cost. This would leave a power vacuum more dangerous than 2001 when we had Sadam in Iraq kicking out inspectors and Osama bombing embassies and attacking the trade centers and the pentagon.

Obama said one thing that I like, about the stupid HR question that was asked in one of their debates, about “What is your worst feature” or some such. He answered that he has a messy desk and is sometimes disorganized. They all had typical BS answers to the question. Afterwars, he said that being a normal guy, he answered the question, if he had gone last and knew the rules, he would have said his biggest fault was always helping little old ladies across the street.

A streak of honesty isn’t a bad thing on either side of the isle.

Like the other two top contenders unfortunately for him he is a current member of the worst Congress in the history of the United States. As the next coming years increases the Misery Index it will be hard for people to forget that through his actions not his ‘feel-good’ words, as a member of the worst Congress in the history of the United States which will bring about the misery we are all about to receive.

He might want to run for Governor first then try for the White House like Bobby Jindel is doing.
