    i like obama cuz he take from the rich and give to da poor.

    i will spend my extra money buying his souvenirs, cuz as long as i can stay poor, i don't have to pay taxes.

    why work? hahaaaaa!

    rich people get taxed so they gonna do more layoffs anyway.

    i trust nancy pelosi with my money too.

      that is exactly the problem. lower class people only voted for obama so they wouldnt have to pay for anything else, not that they pay for half of the government related things they get. everyone that has a good job and an education pay taxes for you, which is not fair to us. why cant ya'll just get a job and an education. that might help

    Obama-mania is exactly what God has ordained for these last years on earth. It is all part of the impending JUDGMENT. Watch for the AntiChrist to appear in Jerusalem in the next few years --- he will avert nuclear holocaust for a short time --- the world will view him as a savior. However in due time all the nations of the world will assemble in Israel for war. And that is when Jesus Christ will return with his armies and slay the nations.

    This is the kind of crap that People, US or O-pra would print. This is not news it is a fluff piece to prove that the O-heads cant see past the smoke and mirrors.

    I don???t care what he wears, his kids wear or his wife wears or thinks. However I am amazed that he, The O, can stand and say he understands our plight in dealing with un-employment and lost homes and then allow his kids to have designer jackets for his coronation. Double Standard?

    The black people that voted for him just on the color of his skin and not the content of his character which was displayed over and over again on radio and tv goes against everything Dr King spoke and lived for.

    Rock Star? No I don???t think so. A rock star entertains, O is the President of the United States of America and needs to lead like one.

    The most awesome father around? Definitely not, I know of many awesome fathers that don???t get their stuff published, their clothes manufactured, face on a sticker or their name on a beer, their awesome for doing what they do the best, taking care of and teaching their children.

    A previous post lays mention to his actual color since that seems to be the theme of his campaign and yet to add to that is that the O did not rise up out of the ghetto of New York, Detroit or the South and yet we are to believe that growing up in Hawaii gave the O the understanding of a hard life in those areas. Oh and one other important note is he did not pay for his education including Harvard, someone else did.

    In time all fads fade away, lets hope that the O fad this article is written about is the one that fades because we cannot allow our United States Construction, or our Security to live and prosper in this Great Nation to fade.

      i totally agree with everything you said. the black people just think that this is the "dream" and they want a black president cause they think he will support them more. and why would what he wears matter?? that has nothing to do with his presidency. how is he an awesome father when he is teaching his children things that are so liberal! this is rediculous!

  • Posted By: grace_moore09 @ 01/28/2009 10:56:11 AM

    The greatest man that walked on earth? are you kidding me! just because he's the first black president doesnt mean he is the greatest man to walk on the earth. that was exaggerating a little bit to much. and he hasnt achieved anything towards world peace. i dont think this world will ever be peaceful, especially with obama as the president.

    ...................Obama has made good progress in a short week even with the partying on Inauguration Night, I am interested in seeing much more progress in the weeks to come before Spring arrives now that he is settling into the job and getting into the groove..........it will take a month or so for the natural apprehension to subside with people, that is the way people behave. By the way, is George Bush going to go back to school in Texas to improve his High School Test Scores??

    • Posted By: John Dough @ 01/27/2009 11:44:35 PM

      You might be surprised to find his high school grades were better than Obama's get over it Bush may not have been well spoken but he was intelligent.

  • Posted By: John Dough @ 01/27/2009 11:40:04 PM

    Comparing Obama to Einstein what a joke he may be intelligent but give me a break did the same to Clinton the Rhodes Scholar while calling Bush dumb. Bush's college grades wer better then Kerry's Gore's and a host of other genius democrats. Obama is a man not a God those wh believe otherwise are going to greatly disappointed.

    In typical Democratic fashion, the new regime will have it's share of "themed" products that will sell like hotcakes.
    But usually not before voted in! This is how the Democrats work, they whine and snivel at Republicans in power for tons of stuff. When they get it, and things go wrong, it's blame those nasty Republicans!
    This regime will ruin the USA with it's "global" interests, and "humanitarian" beliefs. Hah!
    Obama was a nothing who came out of nowhere, and voila! President! Can you say Demoncratic scam?
    all the "black" {really cant use that anymore, eh?} who voted never came out in past elections. Why? Only one thing, and you know what that is. this man is a hack, a shill, and a deceptive front-man for the greedy liberal pigs.

    Not interested in Obama mania myself but maybe there is a good use for this in the economic recovery. You create a category of official, approved Obama stuff that got a seal (like UL on electrical items). Seals of approval would be given only to items made in America - no imports. This would be, of course, unstated. WTO legal as far as I can tell. Not a government policy.) You could even set up a system to provide loans and accelerated depreciation to businesses making the swag in America. Bring back Tupperware manufacturing. Have Obama brooms. Michelle clothing not only by American designers but with American fabrics. Add your own ideas. It's a national resource. Play it for all it's worth.
    Might even be able to export. Competition from Japan? Who would want a Prime Minister Aso brand? Or China? Ok, fashion tagged by France's First Lady might give Michelle fashion a run. Bring it on.

    Cut that trade deficit!!!!!

    As long as President Obama behaves like an Uncle Tom and not Uncle Sam,

    As long as Hilary Clinton behaves like s secretary of state and not as the president,

    As long as Joe Biden behaves like the vice president and not as a messenger boy of President Obama

    As long as President Obama remains his own man and not as a tea boy of the American and Zionist lobby,

    As long as President Obama keeps his eyes wide open, his ears clean and his head clear and brain intact

    As long as he applies his own foreign policy based on total justice to the Palestinians and does not apply obey blindly Israel's foreign policy

    As long as he engages Iran in dialogue and does not obey Zionist Israel orders

    And as long as President Obama keeps a whip handy, he should do well in the next four years.

    • Posted By: fishoutofwater @ 01/24/2009 2:11:16 PM

      What??? Who should we wish well for aver the next four years? One man, or the the country as a whole.

  • Posted By: fishoutofwater @ 01/24/2009 2:04:05 PM

    Despite popular opinion to the contrary, President Obama is nought but flesh and bone, a mere mortal, although from the tone of this piece, Ms Bennett is sure to take issue with me on that point, giving credence to the theorem that political loyalties know no rationale. Not being an Obama supporter during the election, I do feel that the Democrats chose the lesser of two evils, however, as our newest President, I wish for him all the strength he needs to endure four years under a microscope like no chief executive before him. The souvenir sales are only proof positve that other than being a somewhat gifted speaker who suffers from the ages old malady of wanting to be all things to all people, he is above all else a creation of the mass media oulets in this country. All the attention, positive and negative, thrust on the Obama family as a whole, has elevated them to larger than lite status. I just can't help but wonder when the man does stumble and show his true human shortcomings, and (God forbid) make a mistake, will he be left hanging out to dry like so many others before. It's the bottom of the ninth, two on and two out, and it is the President's game to win or lose. Being a proud American, I have to hope that the man has a couple of good pitches in his arsenal to back up all this unauthenticated (as yet) hype.

    Oh look I pulled a Biden, its Constitution not construction???.. Multitasking and spell check gone awry.

    He must be the new Elvis or Ringo Starr or Paul McCartney or? But he isn't even a movie star or singer. What has he done so far for the average American? Good Grief, he isn't even black or white and the "brothers" are making such a deal out of him being one of their own and equating him with a tortured slave who has made good. His mother was white, and that makes him a Mulatto. In fact, he is mostly white because of his mother. We hope he will do a good job as president. Heaven knows we need to get America back on track. But, let's see some action instead of just pretty words. Will he really cut our taxes as he said he would? What will he do for our good?

    The guy has done nothing and everyone wants to say hooray! He is our new President & I congratulate him, but come on! This country has a problem of idolizing people! That's why we have groupies, young girls who will ask unknown people to marry them and have their baby, etc.. Let's see what he can do! Then I will judge him on his accomplishments!

  • Posted By: nimodahooligan @ 01/23/2009 4:57:31 PM

    wow....i voted for obama, i like the guy and all, but the fanaticism has to take a back seat now to the tasks at hand... at least hes coming through on at least some of the things he said he would on the campaign trail... thats all that really matters to me at this point. people are going a little to crazy eating up the marketing schemes tho...

    and this article? well...STOP TRYING TO SUCK OBAMAS D*CK... hes not the greatest man on earth, hes another president, another politician...and thats all. now we must wait to evaluate his JOB PERFORMANCE before we worry about crap like this...
