[...] So we have endless hours of entertainment in our future if the Dems gain control. Who says these are not serious people about the governance of this country? Who says they…..hey! Isn't that Barack Obama? [...]

Why Do You Think They Call it Dope?…

Why in the world would the smartest man to ever walk the planet write something like this unnecessary, and yes, trivializing admission?

Ali-Bubba, I’ll have you know, you’re treading on thin ice. Make sure everybody knows there is a distinction between the two of us.

Besides, I ain’t from Alabama, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I sometimes wish I were. (See, if I was, I would have said, “was”, not “were”, er, something like that…)

Anyway, how about, “Obamas Interruptus”?

Possible reasons for Obamamania:
1. Warner dropping out meant there wasn’t a plausible anti-Hillary left in the Democratic Party.
2. Because somebody at DNC/MSM headquarters realized they needed to do something to get black voters excited about voting Democrat on Nov. 7.
3. What George Soros wants, George Soros gets.

On my blog — bobmccarty.wordpress.com — I published the text of a news release that I received exclusively from the Barack Obama camp. It’s an eye-opening announcement about his presidential ambitions and will probably be in the papers tomorrow morning!

I think you’re right, he’s a lot like Cuomo was.

I think it’s a replay of Cuomo, nothing more. Mario made that widely lauded keynote speech of his and suddenly everyone’s touting him as Presidential timber. Of course, before that speech he was a local who got smacked around by Ed Koch when he ran for mayor in NYC, but got adopted by Hugh Carey, ending up as Carey’s lieutenant governor and inherited the governor’s seat a year before giving the speech after finally managing to beat Koch in a statewide primary that Eddie the K never had a chance of winning (too NYC, while Mario was an established player in Albany).

Before the speech? Nothing; no legislative or administrative record to speak of.
After the speech: Rising Star.

Another similarity was they both were/are being pumped up for running for Prez when there was/would be no sitting incumbent to deal with and the Dem bench was pretty thin.
