I am not impressed, Senator Obama.

Back when I lived in Chicago, I attended the Senator's first homecoming event after he announced that he was running for President.

He got what I thought was the biggest applause and laughter when he recounted that the previous day he asked his daughter Malia if she was enjoying riding around Iowa, where they had spent the day campaiging. After a long pause, Malia said "Yeah, I do, but why are we here again?"

It was cute and was a good segue, as the Senator then lauched into a "Well, this is why we are here..." political speech.

But tonight on Letterman, he repeated that same ancedote as if it happened yesterday.

I felt like I was watching a comic that always said the same joke.

Similarly, he also repeated the story about telling his girls that he was thinking of running for President and asked if they questions and they said "Can we have a dog?"

I KNOW people repeat themselves often in private conversation and he wouldn't be the first public figure (especially politically) to repeat little stories that are memorable and illustrate some point of his, but I personally was kind of like "huh?"

Thoughts?

While I certainly wouldn't characterize

Senator Hilary Clinton as a "hoe", I nevertheless found this shirt to be quite hilarious:

(Just to be clear, indeed I would charaterize Senator Obama as a "bro").

Thoughts?

YAY FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!

A few days ago, Hillary Clinton made news around the globe she announced that, in the 1st three months of the new year, she pulled in $26 million dollars for her presidential campaign.She also transferred $10 million left over from her Senate campaign, so she has a warchest now of $36 million.

Then yesterday, her chief rival Barack Obama announced he had pulled in $25 million, which is astounding because a big feather in Hillary’s cap was that her fundraising abilities were legendary. No one thought that Barack would have even a chance of being close to her haul, and the fact that he was only $1 million off is phenomenal.

So a big high five is due to Senator Obama, it shows the word what some (including myself) already knew, that he is a viable threat to the primary and hopefully now, all those Democrats and Independents who were on the fence will look at Barack a little more closely.
