13. If all politicians were as squeaky-clean as Obama...
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 12:34 AM by TwoSparkles
...then 99 percent of the problems in Washington would be eliminated.

Are you kidding me? We've got the Clinton machine bulldozing for dirt on Obama and hitting
him with everything they've got.

After all of this digging--there is absolutely nothing that will make one bit of difference in
our primary and especially in the General Election.

I mean really, I'd dying over here--ecstatic with joy that they only things they've got on Obama
are that he sometimes doesn't wear a flag lapel pin and outrageous rumors about him being a Muslim--which
are obvious fabrications that will be laughed at when the heavy GE campaigns kick in.

Then, oh no!! We've got the fact that he didn't put his hand on his heart during the pledge
of allegiance
at a fundraiser in Iowa. :scared:

Oh....the humanity!

And now. NOW!!! Obama's preacher said something controversial, or incendiary. Dear God...is this the end? :eyes:
I mean really. They have no dirt on Obama so they have to find things that his preacher did and offer them up as
reasons why Obama shouldn't be President?

Stay tuned for controversy and shocking words from OBAMA'S DENTIST!! :scared: I imagine his dog groomer has
some skeletons too! Save this campaign from Poodlegate!

I bet each and every one of us could say that if our lives were dissected and researched for months--that
they'd definitely have more than this pinned on us. You know it's true.
