Don't you find it odd that Obama's radical Muslim father abandoned his mother and him and when Obama became an adult....he writes "Dreams from my father?" Don't you think a book about " The Grace of a White Mother and Grandmother" whose pride in him helped him become who he is today would be in order? How did his absent radical muslim father contribute to Obama's growth? All he gave Obama was the color of his skin and Kenya for an origin....two things our constitution prohibits as a basis for civil rights!!!!!! Do you think Michele can manage to like America more on the day she becomes first lady?
You haven't seen anything yet. Obama is already asking Bush to assemble another stimulus package because he, Obama, is too scared to do it on his own. It is just the beginning.......
Ma'am, where do you usually get your political news?

Bob Grant is a local NY host who has a never-ending stream of garbage. Did he... by any chance... give a correction or apology? Hmmmm.

He would refer to then-Governor Cuomo as the "svachiem." I am sorry I spelled it wrong, but apparently it is a rather unflattering Italian term like a piece of garbage or worse.

He would also call Mayor Dinkins "The Men's Room Attendant at the 21 Club," after seeing a picture of the Mayor in a white dinner jacket.

According to his Wikipedia entry: "Grant's long stay at WABC ended when he was fired for a remark about the April 3, 1996 airplane crash involving Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Grant remarked to caller Carl Limbacher, "My hunch is [Brown] is the one survivor. I just have that hunch. Maybe it's because at heart I'm a pessimist." When Brown was found dead, Grant's comments were widely criticized, and his contract was terminated."

Nice.

At least America and the rest of the world has newer blood and a different generation to continue the change.

You've just earned The Misguided Person of the Week Award...

By the way, what the H does ANYTHING you ranted about in your pointless diatribe have to do with this thread, which is about Bob Grant moronically accusing Obama of wanting to be dictator, because Obama displayed the state flag of Ohio on stage behind him during a rally in Ohio?

I'm so glad that the younger generations in this country don't have such narrow-minded visions of the world, our country and our President, as older folks such as yourself (and incidentally, Bob Grant) do. Maybe there's hope for us, afterall...

Yay Obama.
