That's some endorsement there. I bet the other guy is glad he didn't
get such a review.

Which enemy fears us less?
As for the so-called friends, they weren't.

Compare that to what they say about BHO above. Someone is hiding an
agenda.

Oh, there's the bias. McCain said that about one guy, and the
Economist extends it to all of Christianity.

Wow more stuff they like about him. Why aren't they for him again?

There it is - they see right shifts as bad - proving they are lefties.

More stuff they like about him. Seems a long way to go to explain
away the better candidate.

So they don't believe in a big tent? All views should not be represented?

This is the dumbest part yet. Obama was born to a Muslim father but
converted to Christianity. That makes him an apostate in their eyes.
What is the penalty for being a Muslim apostate? Death!!!!
Put Obama in a room with McCain, Palin and Biden, and al-Qeada would
want to kill Obama first as a religious commandment.

Really? If Obama sticks to capitalism, the autocrats will hate him
too. This is really a dumb statement. You mean of Obama is elected
Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro will privatize their banks and newspapers?

Bwaaaaahaaaaaahaaaa aa!!! He's Kenyan American - not African

Again the endorsement rings tinny. What a strange piece. What a
herculean attempt to avoid facts.

Exactly. Weird words for an endorsement.

Obie made the same point. "I ran for Prez, which makes me experienced
for Prez." Did Lyndon LaRouche run like 5 times?

He'll be worse than them. He's the redistributor.

Yup.
