Barack Obama - The first non-evil, non-seedy President!

Eli · June 5th, 2008, 10:47 AM

Here's to hoping. That's who I'm backing, and I don't even live in America.
I swear, I look into Hillary's eyes on TV, and spot evil. Well, not evil, just... greed. No. No, I was right. Evil.
W. Bush - sex hunger, stupidity and desire to play with toy cars.
Bush Senior - disturbed mentally.
Clinton - did not have sexual relations with that woman. 'Nuff said.

Honestly, I hope for everyone's sake that Obama is as normal as they come and does not reveal creepy past! I look into his eyes and don't really see anything shifty. Don't get a cold feeling. Nuttin'. May just be me. But I get the feeling he's one of the good guys.

All the rest are fucking attention whores.

We've had quite a lot of non-evil, non-seedy Presidents, thank you very much

You're acting like GWBush....looking into Putin's eyes and seeing his soul

....go back to ghosts, Allie......

Well I prefer Obama over Clinton, I'm still not convinced he's non-seedy or non-evil, nor do I believe he's the messiah. I'll reserve judgment until I see what he does in office.

oh jeez Allie please don't hijack the politics section

Wow, you're in for a big shock. The pedestal you're putting Obama on is going to be a mighty big one he and many of his supports will fall off of when Obama's savior halo tarnishes.

Trust me, it will. To many, it already has.

BTW, Obama is getting a complete pass by the media for his relationship with Tony Rezko. If Obama were a Republican (or a Clinton), he'd be blistered by negative press 24/7.

And as far as normal goes, I don't call being an active member of a bigoted, racist church for 20 years, normal.

I don't call it normal for a biracial man to completely vilify his Caucasian blood, to the point where he, too, borders on racist beliefs (and if you doubt what I say, read his book about his father).

And I certainly don't call it normal for an educated man to throw his grandma, the woman who raised him, under the bus by calling her a typical white person. Any man (or woman) who can speak in such broad generalities, in my opinion, has no sense of reality or concept of what 'typical' is. Just imagine the storm if someone called Obama a 'typical black person.'

I see a man who morphs into what others want him to be, whether that's black, white, liberal, Christian, etc. But non-evil, non-seedy?

He's a politician. Nothing more need be said.

Yesterday he gave this statement on Rezko:

"I'm saddened by today's verdict, This isn't the Tony Rezko I knew"

He said the same thing about Rev. Wright:

"I've known Reverend Wright for almost 20 years. The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago"

what do you call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

a good start

The devil visited a lawyer's office and made him an offer. I will increase your income five-fold, your partners will love you, your clients will respect you, you'll get four months vacation and live to be 100. All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls and their children's souls will rot in hell for eternity.

The lawyer thought for a moment......."What's the catch?" he asked.

^^ awesome...

A lawyer on a sailboat capsized in dangerous, shark-infested waters.

he tells his traveling companions that he'll to swim to the shore for help. As he swam, his companions were startled by the appearance of two dorsal fins -- great white sharks, heading straight toward the lawyer.

To their surprise, the sharks allowed the lawyer to take hold of their fins, and escorted him safely to shore.

When the lawyer returned with help, his companions asked him how he had managed such an incredible feat. The lawyer answered, "Professional courtesy."

How many personal injury lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?

Three - one to turn the bulb, one to shake him off the ladder and one to sue the ladder company
