Out of Respect - For Obama Supporters or Obama sympathizers only!
That little guy you see in the photo sitting on his Grandpa's back while at the beach in Hawaii, is going to be the awesomest President of the United States of America in 2009.

We are about to get us our first Hawaiian President and that really blows my mind.

41. bothers me that MSM is so ignorant - it's not like ...
he didn't write a best selling book on it. what kills me is imagine if the same thing was true in sports radio. the people interviewing athletes are expected to be at least vaguely familiar with their backgrounds --why can't the MSM?

8. I seriously doubt he's going to be President,
much less the awesomest after his association with Rev Racist.
Even if he does game the primary, he’s unelectable in the GE.

I've never disrespected a request made such as mine.

27. and just exactly how many years have you been carrying that bag of bitterness
around? A couple of weeks ago somebody had a nice thread about Hillary as a mother and Chelsea and there was a bunch of emotional stuff and sure enough a couple of idiots came into to pee on the thread. Obama's got em and Clinton's got em. And your it.

Could go on and on and use words like pedestrian, trivial, narcisstic but really I hope you find somebody, a pastor, a friend, a counselor somebody that can help you take that huge bag of bitterness of your back. After a while that has to be heavy.

18. I'll be floating on air the day he is sworn in! Just that act alone will say so much
about the US to the rest of the world. I'm already hearing from overseas relatives in asia who are amazed that a minority could even be considered for the Presidency, much less win it!

Thus, if not to fan the flames, why didn't you post this "oh so very kewl" photo in YOUR OWN FORUM!

Last I checked, this was still GDP, open to all, including the aforesaid poster and his KARMA invocation. Just what we need after 8 years of Conservoscum, an "awesome" Valley Girl type of President.

Grow up!

36. No...
I want political neophytes and moderates to wrest control of the Democratic Party from it's left-wing moorings, turn it into Republican-lite, and then further sully the name in a nod to the moronic, by appealing to a candidate's "awesomeness".

Talk about who will feel guilty in the morning...your guilt is staring you in the mirror everyday. My conscience is clear.

52. I have read your tripe and cringed when we were on the same side for Edwards
it was really embarassing then.

This was not an ideological thread it was a thread about a boy and his grandfather.


I know your an attorney and you think that is a really fucking big deal. Well I have a brother that is a Judge and another that teaches law and I have a much stronger academic background than they did. I could have cashed in big time.

Instead I spent the next 12 years in refugee camps working to clean up after the last war. I was the first American to go back into Vietnam after the war and the programs I put into place saved tens of thousands of lives. Pulau Bidong, Galang, Phanat Nikom, Anambas Island, Tanjung Pinang. These are the places I called home you wouldn't know how to find them on a map. I spent years at a time without the comforts of the bourgoise life that you are so addicted to

Had to take my car into a shop today - started talking to the mechanic asked him when he came over. He told me and I told him his parents story (he was too young to know what they went thru). I knew it because I knew the camp and I knew exactly what the people in that camp had to go thru.

Vietnamese, Mountain Lao, Low country Lao, Chinese-Vietnamese, Cambodians, Muslim Cambodians, Cambodian refugees stranded in Vietnam, White Russians via Hong Kong Chinese Cambodians, Stranded Persians in 1980, Black Jews in the Sudan. You simply picked on the wrong fucker to try and intimidate with a guilt trip Mr. John Cleric Preston because I got commendations, I got medals, I got stories, and I got memories but not one fucking ounce of guilt.

When it comes to conflicts between countries asshole I actually have done something about it, not write pissy little comments on an anonymous board somewhere. I can walk up the street anywhere in southern california and with an hour find somebody that went through the operations I was in charge of and be catching up on what happened since I got their family out of that camp altogether 450,000 of them -

Take your sorry assed little Psych 101 with your lame assed projections and try and sell it somewhere else we are not buying today. What a joke.

don't you?

I owe you nothing. Your irrationality and labile temperament speak volumes. It doesn't take Freud to figure you out.

Oh, as to respect....the day people start to choose President by their supposed "awesomeness", is the day that reason and critical analysis have left the room. I still have respect for the office. You degrade it.

Great post, Frenchie! I couldn't agree more. Barack Obama will be the greatest American leader in decades, and it won't be long before he takes the White House.

I think his family did a wonderful job raising him. He does have an appealing and charismatic charm, even to this day.
