A Surprise Visit from Dad, AKA Barack Obama

August 26, 2008 RSS Feed Print

DENVER—Did you think Sasha Obama talking to her dad while beaming from ear to ear was cute last night? Me too. It turns out she and her older sister Malia didn't know Barack Obama was going to be on screen. Jim Margolis, a Democratic media consultant who is part of the Obama campaign, told our Michael Barone (who's tied up on the floor of the convention) that he told Michelle Obama before she went on stage not to tell the girls their dad would be joining them by video. I guess media consultants know just the right way to the hearts of America: surprise a seven-year-old with her daddy.

If Obama was indeed born in Kenya, Africa, then his running for president, applies ould be a sham, not to mention walking all over the constitution. I don't care if he was black or white, if he is not a natural born citizen, then he is ineligible to run as President or be a Senator. Our constitution applies to everyone. This needs to be investigated immediately before he is

sworn in in January. The Voters deserve the Truth.

These Girls are really Cute. This erases the stress that we always feel in these political events.

I like Michelle Obama and I was distressed when she was attacked in Fox News. This will be a very Wonderful Family at the White House.

I like Obama because he is more professorial, thinking and rational than McCain. He is the kind of guy that takes good advice from others.

THE DEBATE

I did not like McCain during the debate on Friday, September 26.

He is very arrogant and overbearing always trying to humiliate the other guy.

I have had bad bosses and good bosses. McCain reminds me of the Dictator Bosses.

McCain will always act without any advice. He thinks that he is sufficient and has enough intelligence to decide all by himself.

I have a Blog on Young Voters, Race and Demographics :

Right Now and after November 5, I will work very hard collecting data on Racial Votes, Ethnic Material of Voters, Demographies and so on.

So that we will understand the New Demographic Tendencies. The importance of Latino Vote ( New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, etc ... ). Feel free to contribute or to give advice to me. I am not self sufficient in intelligence like McCain.

If any of those slurs were true, you can bet that the McCain campaign and Republican party would be screaming it from the rooftops, which they would not have any problem doing through the conservative-dominated media. And if there were any truth to the allegation that Obama was not born in the U.S., he would be barred BY THE CONSTITUTION from becoming President.

It is so sad that people like you think the only way you can win is to make things up! And that you feel the need to spread these filthy lies at a site celebrating Obama's adorable daughter! These are some of the very reasons you are going to lose. America is sick of this.
