Reply #3: So let's put the right-wing spin on all this...

Tongue firmly planted in cheek...

1. Obama was born on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu. His first name, Barack, means "blessed" in Swahili and was also his Kenyan father's name.

So he's too good to have an English name, huh? Doesn't he know we're fighting a culture war? ENGLISH ONLY!

2. He says he hasn't liked ice cream since working at Baskin-Robbins as a teenager.

"Barack Obama says he hates ice cream. What does he have against our nation's dairy farmers?"

4. Obama is the third African-American senator since Reconstruction.

Just take all the various race-baiting commercials republicans have used, and you'll figure out what they'll do for this.

5. He married Michelle Robinson, also a Harvard Law School graduate, who supervised him while he was working as a summer associate in a Chicago law firm. They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

7. A school in his father's hometown near Lake Victoria in Kenya has been renamed the Senator Barack Obama Secondary School.

"Not the Senator Barack Obama Madrassa?"

8. He loves playing Scrabble.

Intellectual elitist. Chutes and Ladders not good enough for ya?

9. Obama and his wife bought a house on Chicago's South Side in June 2005 for $1.65 million. It has four fireplaces.

Take the John Edwards dust-up over his house and magnify it.

10. His heroes are Martin Luther King Jr., Mohandas Gandhi, Pablo Picasso, and John Coltrane.

The usual stuff about King cheating on his wife; Coltrane's drug use and conversion to Islam, and then throw in a couple of foreigners as his heroes. Why can't he have good solid American heroes like George Washington and Ronald Reagan?
