Michael Steele admits that Obama is "awesome.."
Edited on Sat Oct-10-09 04:28 PM by underpants


But Republican National Committee head Michael Steele is bristling with outrage, saying in a letter that Obama won the prize "for awesomeness."

It shows "how meaningless a once honorable and respected award has become," he wrote, asking for contributions of $25 to $1,000 for the RNC.

1. Oh yeah? What's the prize for "douchiness"?
You'd win for sure, Chairman Steele!

6. Wow,
so Michael Steele is a 12 year old tween girl now. "Like, Obama is totally awesome, like you know, OMG!"


He is just upset that his idol of awesomeness, the man that made he and his Repthuglican ilk giddy with a stiffy, St Ronnie was never given the award.
P.S. Giddy with a stiffy over St Ronnie...:puke:

Transcript:

http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/barackobama/a/obama-al-smith.htm

...Americans have a big choice to make, and if anybody feels like they don't know me by now, let me try to give you some answers. Who is Barack Obama?

Contrary to the rumors you have heard, I was not born in a manger.

I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jorel to save the Planet Earth.

Many of you -- many of you know that I got my name, Barack, from my father. What you may not know is Barack is actually Swahili for "That One."

And I got my middle name from somebody who obviously didn't think I'd ever run for president.

If I had to name my greatest strength, I guess it would be my humility.

Greatest weakness, it's possible that I'm a little too awesome. One other thing, I have never, not once, put lipstick on a pig or a pit bull or myself. Rudy Giuliani, that's one for you. I mean, who would have thought that a cross-dressing mayor from New York City would have a tough time running the Republican nomination? It's shocking.

That was a tough primary you had there, John. Anyway. Anyway, that's who I really am. But in the spirit of full disclosure, there are a few October surprises you'll be finding out about in the coming weeks. First of all, my middle name is not what you think. It's actually Steve. That's right. Barack Steve Obama.
