Is Barak Obama the George W. Bush - all hat, no cattle - of the Democratic Party?
:popcorn:

(I so want to ask this over in GD, just to see what would happen...)

:rofl:


No, people, I'm not serious about this question. (I am serious about being very curious how it would go over in GD, though...)

1. What would happen is...
...someone would start by pointing out that 'Barack' is spelled with a 'c'.

Things would trend rapidly downhill from there. You might even end up putting on Billy Joel's "52nd Street" or renting "Apollo 13" because it seems so good by comparison. :evilgrin:

2. You were the kid
who, when you found a rattlesnake in the bushes, started poking it with a stick.

3. What if I told you
Obama and I go way back, and I decided to show him DU tonight and this is the link I clicked on... what if I told you he's shaking his head, frowning and writing something down...

13. I think what I meant to say is someone who can relate to the common person....
Obama has been schooled in the art of public speaking...that's about all I see coming from him

14. Sorry, I thought you might of meant that.
I just get so tired of the expression "we need a candidate with balls." I know what is meant by it, but it also implies men are tougher than women. That said, I don't support Hillary Clinton at this point, which has nothing to do with her gender, but with her politics. But there are some female senators or other such leaders who could be presidents.

15. I figured that, but thanks for the response
I meant what I said...Obama knows what to say to people in order to please them.

I don't care if you are male or female, black or white, two heads and four arms or one head and two arms...as long as you are capable of running this country, you have my vote.

I'm serious....at this point, I would vote for an extraterrestrial....

E.T anyone?

19. I love Alf. I also loved the cartoon spin-off which had a
nice song that said that Alf was from the Melmacian race.

20. The 80's.....if only I could go back to that time
Edited on Wed Sep-05-07 10:32 PM by TK421
my time......where the only thing that mattered were T.V sitcoms and Saturday morning cartoons, with that ceremonial bowl of cereal at 8:00 A.M...........


But I'll never see that again...

22. Uh, no
Obama has a brain, is articulate and a decent and honest person.

THe thread would probably get locked in about 30 seconds.

23. Absolutely not!
He is starting an intelligent conversation...for all of us. I like Barack, and I pray that he's on the political landscape for a long time to come.


Whereas, Shrubby can't even finish a simple thought...like "I have to go pee!..."Condi, can I?" That's all hat, no cattle!
