    Michelle Oboma

    MOB's paper in Princeton was obviously obsessed with race. One look at her face and you can tell that she's just not happy.

    But who cares?

    First off, I'm a right wing type and I've never gotten these emails. Second, I think that they suck because they take away from Obama's real life short comings.

    Of which there are many.

    For instance. Obama made a deal with the Teamsters promising that he would call off federal over site of their MOB ties. In this case MOB isn't an acronym for Michelle O Bama. It means the Mob as in organized crime. Obama is extremely soft on organized crime. That's bad.

    Because really, who gives a rats ass what you think about NAFTA if you're going to let the Mob run the unions unchecked? What will that do? Well in the short run it will get you votes, but in the long run, it will chase away the already dwindling job base.

    Hope? Change? My black ass. ( I have a bruise on my but from a fall on a skateboard the other day)

    Extra, extra, read all about Obama's ties to the mob! Extra!
