Obama is Jesus, JFK, the Beatles, a Bodhisattva, and...?

[lwcon]

We've heard Barack Obama compared to almost every good thing. But there must be others.

Heck, it's nine months 'til November. So, we'll certainly need some more idyllic comparisons to make our hearts beat ever-stronger.

Maybe there could be a daily newspaper feature, like the "Love Is" newspaper comic.

Your suggestions for what Barack is?

1. ... a much better candidate than Hillary. nt

[skipos]

2. ... someone I would enthusiastically vote for, unlike Hillary. nt

[Nitrogenica]

3. A winner in November.

[skipos]

4. ... someone who will get a lot of my time & money if he is our nominee, unlike Hillary. nt

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. If it were Hillary, you be spending that time & money

on positive community activism I assume?

[skipos]

13. I'll spend it with my family. Is that OK with you?

I would go all out for Edwards or Obama, but it will be hard enough to pull the lever for a candidate as awful as Hillary.

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. Your commitment to change seems to be celebrity based.

To each his own.

[skipos]

22. No, I don't dislike Hillary because of her celebrity

She represents everything that is wrong with the Democratic party.

5. The one who'll give us ponies, dude!

[Karmadillo]

37. Damn it. I wouldn't have posted if I had seen this one. You win.

6. I'm really glad you have seen the light .. you can donate to the campaign at

https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute

welcome home.

Of course, we just try to call him "A Good Intelligent Statesman and Superb Diplomat and Trusted Leader " "A Good Hearted American" and such. But being a beginner we'll give you some slack.

7. an extremely skillful politician

who's blamed the prior generation of politicians for putting Reagan in charge of redefining America
and blamed the baby boomers for the ills of our country

8. He's "The Owl Who Thought He Was God" (by James Thurber)

[lwcon]

14. Thurber! Be still my heart!

I'm thinking that Hillary would be "The Very Proper Gander," run out of town by baseless gossip.

But who would Edwards be?

26. Edwards would be the only person telling the complete and dirty truth nt

[Big Blue Marble]

10. ..........and God.

Seriously, the candidate to whom I have sent far more money than any other candidate in my long life. I will be giving more very soon.
The candidate I am more excited about than any candidate in my long life.
The candidate whom I am ready to work for during the campaign and after his election.

And edited to say I know this response may drive some here to distraction. So be it.

11. Where's Senator Lloyd Bentsen when you need him?

"Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

[lwcon]

15. But, dammit, he was just made an honorary Kennedy! n/t

[Tennessee Gal]

16. Great answer!

"Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

[Big Blue Marble]

27. I think Caroline Kennedy has just disagreed with your sentiment.

"A President Like My Father"

[BeatleBoot]

32. And RFK Jr disagrees with your assessment

RFK JR ENDORSES HILLARY

Kind of sucks, doesn't it?

They split their vote.

Hedging their bets.

[Big Blue Marble]

35. I think Caroline Kennedy's editorial today

just past the torch from her father's legacy to the next president of the United States.

And it was beautifully done. I suspect RFK jr, may be having second thoughts. I know
his mother is on board with Bama.

[BeatleBoot]

39. Start measuring the drapes in the Oval Office then!!!!!

And count those chickens before they're hatched.

It's always a good strategy.

With Super Delegates, heres the scorecard as of January 27, 2008...


xx CNN Realclearpolitics

CLINTON: 230 246

OBAMA: 152 173

EDWARDS: 61 52

[Big Blue Marble]

44. Right now this is still Hillary's race to lose.

Although i must say she is not doing herself any favors.

And Obama is gaining on her and will be for the next ten days.

Enjoy.

[robbedvoter]

25. Can't top that!

[Big Blue Marble]

29. Caroline Kennnedy just did top that. n/t

[BeatleBoot]

34. Please post it again, because we didn't see your first one.

Sorry that RFK Jr decided not to drink the Kool Aid.

We feel bad for you.

Hopefully, Bob Shrum will come through and save the day!!!

[Big Blue Marble]

38. Then check out my answer to the post to which you are referring.

I am feeling great today, never better thanks.

[BeatleBoot]

40. No, you check out my answer to the post to which I am referring.

[sfam]

12. ...The next President. :)

[Big Blue Marble]

20. Love it. The best answer on the thread. n/t

[Occam Bandage]

31. oh, you beat me to it. Darn.

42. Just another guy who doesn't impress me much.

I'm a tough audience.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

43. Just another politician posing as someone honest and trustworthy.

A necessary charade for all politicians if they seek office.

“Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote,
He's a-runnin' for office on the ballot note.
He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple,
Tellin' me he loves all kinds-a people.
(He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins
He's eatin' bullshit!)”
