Elect Barry cuz ...

... he's dancer

At the end of a long campaign day Tuesday in Florida, Democrat Barack Obama had one more stop: "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."The TV talk show host got right down to business.

"Let's talk about dancing," she said. "Your wife, Michelle, was on the show and she was talking some smack about your moves."

DeGeneres played music and gave Obama 20 seconds to prove his spouse wrong. He complied, albeit in a decidedly awkward set of circumstances -- standing alone on a patch of concrete and looking into cameras that were to beam him into the studio, as supporters and reporters watched.

He gamely grooved a little, though mostly with his arms, before calling off the operation with a smile.

"Michelle may be a better dancer, but I am convinced I am a better dancer than John McCain," Obama said of his Republican rival.


You'd think after the O! campaign belittled McCain over his inability to use a keyboard due to the effects of being tortured as a POW, Barry would be a little more circumspect about snarking about how McCain moves.

I'm sure Barry is a better dancer than FDR was, too.

Wanna defend that one Darleen? I know you can!
The American people are counting on you....

McCain can use a keyboard. The idea that he can't was debunked just as quickly as the wingnut borg put it out there. Do try to keep up, Darleen.

So...is someone expecting Putin to fall in line when Barack busts out the mad moves at their tea party?

Who's Barry?

If "Johnny" can use a Blackberry, which we know (by his own words) he can and does, he can damn well use a keyboard. When will you professional victims start manning up and take some responsibility for your massive fails? I've never heard such whining.

I love how this cartoon "Hockey Mom" spent more on clothes in one month than most REAL hockey moms would spend in ten lifetimes. Golly gee, she's authentic, you betcha!

It looks to me that some Americans are just desperate to have an African leader at any cost.

But why subject the rest of the world to your fetish?

If you want to live under an African leader, go to Africa. Easy enough, what's stopping you?

African? He's as American as nasty old Darleen and her gang of tinfoil hat wearing wingnuts.

What is it about right wing politics that attracts all the sick racists and hate filled maroons? Maybe Darleen could write a nice entry about that some time.

Dangleberries friends and mentors

Bill Ayers - unrepentant terrorist & good friend.

Jeremiah Wright - racist black theology pastor & personal mentor of 20 years.

Franklin Raines - cooked the books & drove Freddie Mac into the ground while collecting a cool 90 million & financial adviser to the dangleberry.

Frank Marshall Davis - communist & dangleberries childhood mentor, also most likely dangleberries real father, who has admitted to having sexual relations (swinging) with dangleberries mommy before dangleberry was born. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Rashid Khalidi - Jew hating PLO unrepentant terrorist who claims to be a mythical “Palestinian” & also a really good friend of the dangleberry.

That is a list of nice friends the dangleberry keeps. Being he is a (D) so none of this is news worthy, if he was an (R) it would be front page like the Palin clothes non-scandal.

Hey, just because the phrase "The Audacity of Hope" comes straight from one of Jeremiah Wright's sermons doesn't mean that Barry ever actually heard any of Wright's sermons. He was sick the day Wright was racist.

Josh/Leah -- links? or are you just spouting off again?

McCain is _capable_ of using a keyboard, but it is difficult, and he generally _doesn't_. RE the Blackberry: you can certainly use one to read emails without doing a lot of typing.

You notice in the debates how McCain moves very stiffly? That's the result of his injuries from five years of torture. Notice how he never raises his arms above his shoulders? That's because he _can't_.

I don't think Obama was thinking of any of that when he made his comment -- he was makign a joke, not attacking McCain for his injuries. Nonetheless, it was definitely a gaffe.

For all your snarking about how Rs are slaves to the party, you seem pretty incapable of ever, EVER admitting that Obama might have made a mistake. Even a minor one.

Reaganomics or the trickle down theory was called voodoo economics back in the day, yet Reagan proved it worked and it worked very well.

Now Obama has the trickle up theory, claiming that giving my money to welfare folks and those who don’t really pay taxes will somehow create jobs is beyond ludicrous.

Last time I checked welfare mommies and the hardly employed don’t create any new jobs, business owners do though.

That’s illiberal logic for you, lefty just wants free shit!
