Does it really matter? There isn’t a black person in America who is not voting for Obama regardless of what he does.

You can’t be serious with that statement. I’m black. I’m not going to vote for the socialist Obama. I have to say most blacks that I know are voting for him.

If this man hopes to get anywhere in November the people around him need to set their alarms for about 10 minutes ago, because somebody’s asleep at the switch.

There is plenty on issues to go after Obama on…forget all this.

Character matters.

An oldie but a goodie.

Happy Sunday! Another great day in the USA. This pinup is by Walt Otto, with the help of a few patriotic butterflies.
What is happening on ye olde feedreader?

The latest issue of Bus and Driver features Bernie Mac. Hot Air has the 411

My criticism of BO is that he did far too little too late in his “response” to B-Mac.
“…clean up your act…family affair…By the way, I’m just messing with you, man.” Wimpy!

Mac said he is a Democrat “born and raised” but added that, “I’m a Republican at tax time”

Quote of the decade!

About 15 minutes later, Obama tried to smooth things over with a joke of his own.

“We can’t afford to be divided by race. We can’t afford to be divided by region or by class and we can’t afford to be divided by gender, which by the way, that means, Bernie, you’ve got to clean up your act next time,” Obama said. “This is a family affair. By the way, I’m just messing with you, man.”

The incident drew response from Obama’s campaign, which criticized Mac for his choice of material.

“Sen. Obama told Bernie Mac that he doesn’t condone these statements and believes what was said was inappropriate,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement after the event.

Is throwing someone under the bus? Does that term have any meaning anymore?

Has criticizing Obama come down to stretching every word and action of his to fit a headline that includes “flip flip” or “throw under bus”?

This is strange.. going from completely IGNORING buses as did Ray Nagin, to throwing EVERYONE under THE bus when convenient.

What’s the connection between Obama and Ray Nagin? Be very specific.

Yup, we got “under the bus” and “not the bernie he knew”…oh no, I can’t believe my eyes, nobody has said anything about bernie’s remarks not “helping Michelle’s kids”!!

I question the timing.

Maybe BO could tap Carla Dartez. She has plenty of OJT and could help him out between AA meetings.

He promised to help Obama and ended his irreverent riff with a joke involving the women in the families and living with two “hoes.”

If Imus was there . He would have bailed Bernie out.

I can name 10 times as many white comedians who can be just as crude.

Yes Ian. There’s probably at least 10. I’d bet the
number is much, much higher. Doesn’t make any difference does
it ? The more we let the gutter become the norm. The
lower our standards become.

Why is nobody from the McCain campaign asking how come the Big O can find time to make speeches to German voters, but can’t find time to debate McCain in front of US voters?

Logic makes the elites’ heads hurt.

p.s. The “McCain Campaign” has no spine.

Pride.

It’s easy to complain about “whiners”, but hard to do it without sounding like you’re whining.
“Oversensitive” at Mac’s “crude” language? Oversensitive about a “little nephew” being told to inquire about his mother having sex for money?
Obama lied down with the proverbial dog, & now he’s stuck with fleas.
