Barack Obama (Democrat)

ItemImage

Barack Obama, born August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S. Senator from Illinois. A "draft Obama" movement began with his well-received keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Obama was the featured speaker at Iowa Senator Tom Harkin's annual steak fry, a political event favored by presidential hopefuls in the lead-up to the Iowa caucus. He was endorsed by talk show host Oprah Winfrey in 2006. Various recent opinion polls have seen Obama's support rising, with him trailing only Hillary Clinton in several polls. If elected, he would become the first African-American President of the United States. Obama announced on February 10, 2007 that he will run in 2008. He has filed the official paperwork.

I don't know for sure if it's the dumbest thing said from thes candidates,but I gotta make my number one contender for bs that caught my attention-Obama's comment regarding the Virginia Tech massacre,putting it in a category with outsourcing and Don Imus.I guess Warren Buffett doesn't have enough money.

08/16/2007		Here is the quote as taken from the website of the Ethics Scoreboard Society, a project of ProEthics Ltd. dated April 24, 2007. "Last week, the big news obviously had to do with Imus, and the verbal violence that was directed at young women who were role models for all of us, role models for my daughters. ... There's the violence of men and women who have worked all their lives and suddenly have the rug pulled out from under them because their job has moved to another country, they've lost their job and they've lost their pension benefits and they've lost their healthcare, and they're having to compete against their teenage children for jobs at the local fast-food place paying $7 an hour. There is the violence of children whose voices are not heard in communities that are ignored, who don't have access to a decent education, who are surrounded by drugs and crime, and a lack of hope. So there's a lot of different forms of violence in our society"
