Barack Makes Grandma Proud

Even though she hadn't yet heard the news that Barack Obama won 13 states in yesterday's primary, his 86-year-old grandmother -- Sarah Hussein Obama -- appeared to be thrilled at her home in Kogelo, Kenya on Tuesday.

391. Barack does well with well-educated and higher income voters (you might have to look it up yourself and not rely on a chain email). I think that says it all regarding the ridiculous posts on this board. You can certainly tell who's who.

392. I don't know, but I don't think you can bring that chicken in the whitehouse.

395. I heard Barack has Tim Kaine, governor of Virginia, on his short list as a potential running mate, but I'm gonng predict he chooses the chicken.

396. Go Dems. Nominate Barack Obama and throw away another election to the Reublican party.

397. I don't get it, it's just a chicken. Why do you all have to make something racist out of it. It's a great picture of an adorable woman and her chicken for heavens sake. Stop making something out of nothing, it just perpetuates the ridiculousness of racism!

398. Whoa! Is this racist or what? Maybe it's a pet chicken. Lots of country people have one chicken as a pet. I'm a Senator Clinton voter---but some jerk is showing his racist colors.

402. I am sick to death of hearing about Hussein Obama. Why don't we just get President Bush out of the White House, immediately get thrones for Hussein and wife...and whatever other relatives we-don't-know-for-what-reason he keeps quiet about, and get it over with. Wait a minute! Now I have to go and faint. (God, please let this madness end.)

403. Be careful guys! Whenever a picture of the Hussein Obama clan is shown, America ends up being asked to apologize for one reason or another. I suppose it's the chicken's turn. The photographer didn't get its best side...or something.

405. Oh...I see...a POSITIVE article about Hillary Clinton down to the last minute. Wow, this is really balance, unbiased, objective reporting fro the 4th Estate.

Oh, I see, it's another one about Barack. I thought it would turn out to be yet ANOTHER negative article telling Hillary Clinton and the public that supports her (nationally she has 40% of the vote, Barack has 50% - so much for his "unifying the party") that they're wrong and should vote for political neophyte, Barack Obama.

I think what is galling is the audacity of the media and the Democratic Political Establishment made up of the elite & wealthy (ie: the Kennedys, that awdful show-biz family, Senator Kerry, married to the ketchup heiress, and Oprah Winfrey, a daytime talk show hostess who's blunders this past year made headlines)telling the average Joe who to vote for and why.

The biggest mistake made here by Obama, the media, the Establishment and Obama's campaign, is the constant disrespectful, biased and unfair treatment of Hillary Clinton.

Worse is the dismissiveness towards what Hillary and her voters hold dear. 20% of Democrats have said that they will vote for McCain, who like John Edwards and Hillary Clinton is grossly overqualified in comparison to Obama.

Barack Obama has not unified this party, he has divided it. I might have voted for him if he wasn't do arrogant towards Hillary Clinton, and let's face it, her ego's almost as big as his.

But this whole campaign has been unfair and unjust towards Hillary and many of us are all set with Obama.
