    We all know his grandmother is a typical white person. Even Republicans know that.

    I really like the Frozone one. I'd love it if somebody with photoshop skills put together an image of “Frobama.”

    Good stuff. It's ironic that a DVD of MANDINGO appeared the same week Obama clinched the nomination.

    Regarding item #2…. I hear Obama saying something like this in a speech: “It's a simple, but powerful slogan that sums up the great spirit of American cannibalism: “Yes we can!”

    Speaking of Barack Obama:

    Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.

    George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

    George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

    And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

    Many people know what Bush did.

    And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

    Bush was absolute evil.

    Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

    Bush is a psychological prisoner.

    Bush has a lot to worry about.

    Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

    In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

    I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.

    I don't think that was very funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    If you just have to put something in the paper about our Pres. tell the people how he lower your taxes, so you bring home a little more than you did a year ago. Tell the people how the ney sayers said that he was nieve to think that he wouldn't be able to speak with heads of state even the ones that bush pissed off.

    You stupid white people let bush run this country in the ground and didn't open your mouth. We finally get someone in the white house that is not only Smart, Intelligent, Charismatic, but he can walk, talk and chew gum at the same time! can you?

    This man will go into the history books as the greatest Pres. ever, better than anyone before him and no man nor women in the future.

    So get off your soap box and use this opportunity to get on this band wagon, to make our county a better one.
