Wonkette

Maybe it was texted to him WHILE HE WAS ON STAGE, and in response to Bennett, he got "down and jiggy", as the youngsters say?

But another commentator said Obama has a rainbow campaign. Does that mean it's a gay campaign? Because if Obama is gay and that leaves Michelle all alone, I know some Jezzies on another blog who would be happy to swoop in and save her.

Ken's back and so's the Smokin' Barry photo!

I hate to say it, but I'm getting Bobby Kennedy vibes. And I'm not in the mood to deal with the Ambassador Hotel again.

I was not particularly an Obama fan until tonight, but I was actually moved by his speech, and more amazingly, it actually seemed that some of the pundit gasbags were actually moved by it, and that has given me a bright shining hope that I am now praying will come to be, a glimmering dream of what America may become under an Obama presidency. I see a vision of every hillbilly racist yahoo in America, from the white supremecists of Idaho to the Klansmen of Mississippi to the shitkicking fucktards of Texas, burning, seething, and suffering a pain like a red hot poker up the ass every single moment that America has a black president, and I pray now with all my might that this comes to pass.

I hope Barry saves us from the "I Like Mike" vs "I Like Dyke" race.

@promnightdumpsterbaby: Don't jinx us. Uh, read NoJo above you. If we have an Ambassador Hotel 40 years later I am really moving to Buenos Aires.

@AnnieGetYourFun: Hey now, dude goes to the same church on the South Side of Chicago as Common. He's got to be someone down.

Still I'm waiting for Michelle to run. I like her better.

This photo reminds me of a story from my uncle:

My uncle lives in rural, central Illinois and reads grain meters (or something) for a living. He was in some tiny town talking to a bunch of old farmers at a grain elevator about politics.

One of the guys turned to him and said, "Did you know that black boy smokes?"

Oh, and he is their Senator. They refer to their Senator as "that black boy".

If Barry win then does this mean that we'll see a influx of white people muttering something about there goes the neighbourhood? Hell, I hope not.

In all seriousness, I sort of like Barry. Of all the major candidates, he's the only one that doesn't give me the willies. It will be strange feeling not hate the US gubbiment so much (assuming he does what he sez he wants to do.)

@promnightdumpsterbaby: I'd totally throw in an Amen here, but then the terrorists would have won.

@1974: But he speaks so purty most of the time, not like the rest of the colored folks with their jive-talking and angry rap music.

Did I just channel my dead grandmother? I think I might have.

Universal Health Care nicotine patches for everyone!

@nojo:
Thanks for mentioning the unmentionable. The only way to break the jinx is to say it: No more Bhuttos!

Yeeeah, Barack Obombz!

@nojo: Don't even go there. Ack. I'm burning tires in the street and breaking bank windows if it does. I can find enough Old Testament passages to justify it.

@ragingmonk: To elucidate, it came from his Montgomery & Selma references, followed by that exit poll showing how he energized the young 'uns. And all I could think was: Oh, shit.

@ragingmonk: you and me both, brother... you and me both. But, again, for the record, Obama got more votes than Huckabee and Romney COMBINED.

@promnightdumpsterbaby:

Oh. My. God. Yesssssssss.......

@promnightdumpsterbaby:

Yes!

@promnightdumpsterbaby:

OH!

@promnightdumpsterbaby:
God!

@promnightdumpsterbaby:

YES!

It was a good speech, by far the best of the night. Plus my heart is lifted just imagining how Jesse Helms is doing down in hell.

@southerndem: I'm sorry, I got that wrong: he got more than Huck, Romney and Thompson (or McCain) combined. You could probably throw in Giuliani and he'd still be up.

@promnightdumpsterbaby: Can I get an 'Amen' to that my strong white brotha?!'

Well well well, look at who's all gaga over Barry Hussein all of a sudden. You people ashame me! Where's the cynicism? Where's the snark! Shape up!

@IanJ: Dude looks like Miles waiting for Trane to finish. Who can resist?

@southerndem: That's right. Keep hope alive.

@nojo: kinda like Miles, but more like a black Humphrey Bogart.

I think Oh...Bama is goin on the patch. Yeah, he's gonna Bogart that patch man.

Oh lord, I'm trying so hard to quit smoking, but he looks so fucking hot in that picture that I might have to start again. I'd say I'd hit it, but I know Michelle could kick my white ass.

Whoop, there it is.

re "the black boy smokes" the thing is, that was not a negative statement. Average guy, salt of the earth stuff. And he is, in fact, their Senator.
Chicago is only half of Illinois. You don't get into the Senate if the farmers all hate you.
And if he gets the nomination, we're going to be hearing a lot worse than "black boy."
So, I suggest a Wonkette Lenny Bruce style preemption. I'm voting for the nigger.

Barry Hussein H. "HOPE" Fucking Obama.....

Barry H. is all about HOPE?

WTF is HOPE when it comes to politics? My housekeeper could have written a more moving speech.

Barry is all about HOPE. My fucking ass.

HOPE? What is HOPE?

HOPE is for fucking free.

I "HOPE" that the next time I see red lights flashing in my rear view mirrow I HOPE my muscle car can blow through a stop sign faster than than Officer
Dick.

I HOPE that the dogcatchatcher won't fine me another ticket cuz my beagle got outta mah yard and shit on the CEO of CISCO'S magnolia tree again...

and

I HOPE that when the 60 million plus citizens of this country who get cancer when they have NO health insurance cuz 'BAMA sez all we need is to "HOPE" and that when we HOPE we can all have health insurance then those disappearing jobs we don't have no more to pay for nuthing cuz 'BAMA won't make it so, then, all HOPE is that we can HOPE for a better candidate since this one is a MORON and does not HOPE for your best interests or that of your families.

Amen, Brother Barack.

@2Truthy.: Having no health insurance gives you cancer? I'm fucked.

I dunno. Having a guy for President who has to order his sandwich at the end of the Woolworth counter and eat it outside on the streets of Jena might be just what we need. Be a nice change from Bush the transformer in a flightsuit.

Beneath the high gloss likeability, I get the feeling there's just nobody home. Running lights on and all, of course, and those are damned nice running lights, but, you know, the elevator stops at the 6th floor of a 12 floor building. The bricks are shy and there's not enough for a quorum. We may hope quite hard, but what we really need is an elevator that goes to the 12th floor. Whatevs.

@ragingmonk: I will be with you. I don't need no old testament justification, I would be sufficiently personally affronted. I am thinking preparations are in order, maybe the NRA is a good thing after all.

@TGY:

That's right. He's just not that smart. Don't let the Professor of Constitutional Law and Harvard Law Degree fool you. He's a dope.

I don't think you hit your metaphor quota there.

@ragingmonk: I'm with SanFranLefty in the "fight or flight" response if that happens. But I salute all of you ready to man the barricades and wave giant red flags with white blouses open to the waist Les Mis style.

@flippin: We will count on you exiles to send funds and arms.

Watching Obama's speech from last night was like watching a Harry Potter movie. A boring ride and not much take-away, but at least the kid is cute and does neat tricks.

@gurukalehuru:
i think lenny would want to know if he smokes kools.
