Barrel Strength

Tell me again what a hero does when his buddies are in trouble?

Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister W. Baldwin Spencer has written to Obama and offered to “take immediate measures for Antigua and Barbuda’s highest mountain peak to be dedicated in your honour and renamed “Mount Obama”.  He goes on to state that Obama’s “manifest devotion to family will strengthen families around the planet.”  And this for a person who has a half-brother who lives in a hut and an aunt, who was invited to Obama’s 2004 Senate swearing-in ceremony, but is an illegal alien living in public subsidized housing?  One can only assume that the concept of “devotion to family” has a different meaning among black politicians.

From this time forward, you will service us.  And so it was done.

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

Update: Nov 8, 2008

The above quote was airbrushed into history by the Obama Politburo.  The new phrase reads:

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

The post-racial healing begins in US, thanks to The One.

Israeli newspapers are already rejoicing about President-elect Obama’s selection of Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., to be his White House chief of staff…

In the Israel newspaper Ma’ariv, Emanuel’s father, Dr. Benjamin Emanuel said, “Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn’t he be? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to clean the floors of the White House.”

Reuters proclaims, “Media bias largely unseen in US presidential race“.
