Makes you wonder about our FREE press, doesn’t it?

Even his daddy couldn’t keep his name out of the news.

If Obama had been doing such things as a State Senator, I think we’d know.

If he’s been getting quietly wasted in the privacy of his own home, then not so much.

It seems that if he had a reputation for getting drunk in public, we would’ve heard about it by now.

Would we? How much do we know about his past? Let’s see – he was born in HI. He got some schooling in Indonesia. He went to Harvard. He was a community organizer. He worked for ACORN. He is ashamed of the poor white crackers who raised him when his dad bugged out. That’s pretty much it. None of his papers, his writings, his record is there for us, is it? And anyone who questions anything about his is a RAAAAcist or a ‘birther’ or some other claptrap. He kind of sprang ex nihilo onto the political scene, a man without a past.

NP Joe. I just have no basis for making a decisive comment one way or another. It seems that if he had a reputation for getting drunk in public, we would’ve heard about it by now.

I have lots of reasons to despise him for his deeds that are a matter of public record. I don’t know enough about him to characterize his drinking as a ‘problem’.

I’ll leave such attacks of zero substance to the like of Dennis Miller who’d made a career out of making politically comic hay out the shapes of people’s noses, or their facial wrinkles.

The problem I think for many of his Republican critics is that he is a big business advocate. He’s faithfully continued all of the Bush/Cheney policies that defined their tenure.

For instance, Bush fought hard for and championed TARP and Obama voted for it, and continued the banker bailouts. The Republican bragged that the banker bailouts saved the world economy, then when criticized about it, pretend it’s all Obama’s fault.

If we got the crooks out of Washington, there would only be a handful of Republicans and Democrats left in the city.
