Bet he could come up with some catchy campaign slogans though.

"If you're not with Obama you side with Osama."

Or not.

I was thinking something along the lines of, "Barack Obama- America's Baby Daddy"

And it was a BIG issue to some people -- I remember comments like, "The Pope will be running the country."

He isn't going to run. He can't even get served at Cracker Barrel.

Yes, because he's a black man, that must mean he has lots of children fathered out of wedlock.

He's part white: should his slogan also be "Barack Obama - stringing people up since 1961", or "Barack Obama - unable to find a beat since 1961"?

Hahahahaha. Good one.

My sister teaches 9th grade Western Civ and when they were talking about Barack Obama, she asked them if they think he should run for office.

A student asked if it was even possible for him to do so because they thought he was born in Africa. More than half of those dipshits thought the same thing too.

What's sad is that Mr. Obama was born and raised here in Hawai`i and Punahou School, his alma mater (and one of the most exclusive schools here), is right up the hill from the school my sister works at.

Ummm, yeah...because guys who graduate from Hawai'i's top prep school, as well as Columbia and Harvard Law just have tons of babies out of wedlock.

Actually guys, and I don't like madmax one bit, but I think he is referring to an event at which Obama's wife, Michelle, said while introducing him "Here he is, my husband, my baby's (not baby) daddy, Barack Obama". Pissed a lot of people off...mostly black folks. I didn't really care about that though. I like his wife. I like him as well. If he ran, I would vote for him. He's young, incredibly smart and makes a lot of sense when he approaches issues. I could care less how young he is or the time he has spent in the Senate. If you can do the job, you can do the job. Besides, we've put up with Bush, I'd say after him anyone can be the president!

Yeah kids, before you go off, you might wanna do some research.

Drolefille · #40 10-25-2006, 12:07 AM

I'd say there IS a difference between "baby daddy" and "baby's daddy" The second is not as low class or crass as the first. Poor choice of words, yeah, but emphasizing that he's a father as well.

shinerbock · #41 10-25-2006, 12:18 AM

I wasn't trying to start anything, just making a joke. That being said, I don't think theres much difference, except that one sounds slightly more stupid than the other...

Actually......his wife referred to him as "her baby daddy" when introducing him one time.

Nice try.

She's entitled to do that. She's his wife, and he is the father of her children. However, calling him "America's Baby Daddy" has a whole other meaning, one that is meant to cast aspersions on his character.

What's so stupid about the phrase "my baby's daddy"? If I had a child and for some reason was talking about its father, I would refer to him as my baby's dad or daddy if I wanted to, whether I was married to him, which I would be, or not. I realize the phrase in both it's "stupid" forms, as you call them, have been associated with black people and the phenomenon we're experiencing of out-of-wedlock child births, but that does not automatically render the use of the phrase or the phrase itself stupid. I also realize that this is yet another one of your statements that reflect your prejudice against all things pertaining to us. I don't want to hear your fake attempts to refute my statement either because you do, in fact, PRE-JUDGE black people all the time on this board and I am pretty much certain you do even more in real life. I guess you would prefer that people refer to guys in this type of situation as "my child's father" although I doubt it would even be an issue in your particular eyes if the phrase had been coined by whites.

I expected thes types of statements from you and your twin macallan. Good job.

shinerbock · #45 10-25-2006, 10:48 AM

Right, we're racist. If white people said it, it would still sound stupid. Obviously, you're so blinded by skin color allegiance that you automatically deem people racist simply for terming a stupid statement as stupid. Here, add this to it, most rap songs= stupid...I know, racist.
If she wanted to reflect the fact that he was a father, how about "Your new senator, a great husband and father, Barack Obama!" I don't think this is a race thing, its a stereotype thing. Its something that is generally said by black mothers about the father of their child (who isn't her husband), and those women often aren't what black people want to portray on a national stage. There were a couple of black friends of mine there while we watched it happen, and they both cringed. If my white senator got up and said something like "well yall, shucks, its mighty fine to be representin yall up there in big ole Washington D.C." I'd cringe. Maybe literacy isn't your greatest skill, but you might wanna go back and read what I've said about Obama the last couple of pages. Oh wait, I probably only mention the good things because he's part white right? On a side note, you're a moron.
