Barack Obama came back from his secret (or not-so-secret at all!) vacation in the Virgin Islands today and, as expected, immediately whined to reporters: "It has been a little over a year; about 15 months now, since I first announced that I was running for president. Since that time babies have been born and are walking and talking ... I know it seems like it's been long for you, imagine how it feels for me." Alas, he has once again revealed how little he knows about the media. No humans in history, Barry, hate their lives more than the depressed, smelly, twitchy, grumpy, loud, self-important, perverted stenographers that make up the traveling political press corps.

He left a strong black man, and he came back a seven year old brown-haired white girl. Why Barry? Why???
monkey business revisited. but who's the donna rice stand in? obama to miami herald: "follow me around. i don't care. you'll be bored...."
True dat! What a pack of wankers. As a journalist, I frequently note how unpleasant journalists are to socialize with. All they ever talk about is how much their job sucks, and how stupid everyone is but them. When it's so obvious that it's my job that really sucks, and everyone is dumber than me.>/i>
I hate the political press corps lives as well. They should end them collectively.
@Lazy Media: ding ding ding!
Since Obama has entered the race, many babies have been born and are walking and talking. And right now they sipping black currant soymilk smoothies, sneering down their noses with horror at hordes of Hillary democrats, who worry about archaic issues like employement and food prices.
"Since that time babies have been born and are walking and talking ..."
...did he just admit to having illegitimate children?
How about a constitutional amendment that nobody can announce their run for presidency until 12 months before the general election?
Here I stand, the brown hunk of Desire
Set Obama Girls on fire
I have this power
Morning noon and night it's hope and speaking
Some quick soundbiting
And then a shower
Political journos always surround me
They always hound me
With more questions
Who can satisfy their 24/7 habits
I'm not a robot
I need some rest
I'm tired
Sick and tired of hope
I've had my fill of hope
From below and above
Tired, tired of being admired
Tired of hope inspired
Let's face it
I'm tired
@Lymed: So candidates will act like they are campaigning but not be permitted to make formal declarations of their candidacy... meanwhile bilking the private sector careers for promotion until having forego these comforts to comply with campaign finance regs?
We can call it the Fred Thompson Amendment.
Obama and the political reporters can bitch all they want, but that 16 months would seem a whole lot longer if they were cleaning grease traps 8 hours a day.
"I know it seems like it's been long for you, imagine how it feels for me."
Imagine how long it feels for Hillz when she knows she's going to lose no matter what she does, and imagine how long it feels for Bill since he can't bag skanky interns while the press is watching, and imagine how long it is for Mark Penn when everyone around him wants to gut him and imagine how long it is for John McCain who just wants a nap and hasn't changed his adult diaper in a couple hours.
It's hard.
@Gopherit: You're telling me! It takes me ten hours a day just to make myself beautiful, eight hours of work a day, then three hours to surf wonkette which leaves just three hours for everything else
@Miss Perception:
@Gopherit: I am writing from theee field, de do not know my Wonkeeting.
i find the political press to be both lovely and sweet-smelling. it's the assholes who flak for electeds that inevitably bring thoughts of homicide to mind.
I think our next election should be more along the lines of Project Runway. We get the top 12 people together, give them each $200 (for materials/booze) and tell them to come up with a universal health care program in 48 hours. Then the following week we do Iraq, Social Security, Mideast peace, etc. etc. and the best person wins it.
Or hell, we can just torture ourselves for two years and then elect some moron we'd like to go fishing with.
@SayItWithWookies: I totally want to blow rails with Barry and THEN have him explain the issue of race to me.
BO: "Since that time babies have been born and are walking and talking..."
Is this the O-man's tacit admission that has fathered more than one black baby in the past 15 months?
Well! Let's see how that plays in the Carolinas!
*Gag*
This is nothing but a shameless attempt to court the six-year-olds-who-vacation-on-private-carribbean-beaches vote.
Pure politics, man.
@SayItWithWookies: I bet if you went fishing with Bush he would drink all the beer and fart a lot.
@MagnusMaximus: How is that different from a day in the Oval?
@MagnusMaximus: If I went fishing with Bush we'd find out that he doesn't know how to swim.
@ManchuCandidate:
"Is it twoo what they say about Obama?"
[zzzziiiipppp]
"It's twoo! It's twoo!"
