If someone turns in a big upset in the last minutes here, at least Barack Obama has other career opportunities. View the photo gallery at this link...
I'm sorry, but Obama has to be one of the most effeminate-looking black guys I've ever seen. Those photos don't really help either.
Of course, I'm not Tweety, and I don't really want another macho moron for President, so I don't really give a shit. Hopefully, neither does a majority of the electorate.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are just that stupid; Obama should avoid these kinds of photo-ops like the plague, if you ask me. Like the bowling thing.
Posted by: Mahan Atma at May 8, 2008 11:37 PM#1 makes a good point. I was all set to vote for Obama, but now that I've seen him reveal just how effeminate he really is (by playing college basketball, that quintessentially gay game), the man no longer has my support.
Also, some of those players are freaking HUGE.

Effeminate or not Obama's still a thousand times the real man, the intelligent man, the authentic man than bush the narcissistic sociopath criminal will EVER be. Obama will be the president that snipers like you guys don't deserve.
As for Carvile the snap turtle, Obama's a black man in a deeply racist country, a country where the good guys can get shot, a country that unleashes violence on each other more than anywhere in the 'civilised' world, and he's running for President.
Here's Hillary!.....[Atrios]
"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
Bill's got the balls in the Clinton clan and look where it got him; for that point look where it delivered your Country!
Now HillyBilly are reduced to running a filthy, negative campaign (like you punks) against a man who's morally superior, infinitely more courageous and more capable to the nth degee of running your Country than the bush-Clinton families and bush's clownishly incompetant, morally bereft flunkies, put together. As for you cowards, you punks don't even rate on the scale of humanity or manliness, compared Barrack Obama.
OBAMA/KUCINICH IN '08
Checking in from deep inside new fatherhood exhaustion to say how much I liked the part in the video where BHO says, "Thought I had that one."

Hey look, I'm a huge Obama supporter. I voted for him and gave him (what is for me) a very large amount of money. I'd love to see him win, which is precisely why I wish he'd stay away from this kind of thing.
Posted by: Mahan Atma at May 9, 2008 02:49 PMAnyone who feeds the slime machine gets flamed, period. The swift-boating of Kerry should be enough example to everyone as to what the right will try to do with Obama, so don't hand them ammunition!
Rightards like the Garrulous Buffoon hang around sites like this looking for ammo.
That said, thanks for your reply; I can that I over-reacted to your post.
Well thankfully Hillary is so horrible and McSame is out of the question. He still has my support, plus it looks like she will take the true center of College Basketball, the Commonwealth of Kentucky... (9 Championships between two schools, you know who has the 7 and who has the two...)

But that's precisely what I'm trying to say!
Posted by: Mahan Atma at May 9, 2008 10:40 PMI believe Obama Himself has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. These are the DSM-IV criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder (five or more listed below in order to make the diagnosis): 1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements); 2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love; 3. Believes that he of she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions); 4. Requires excessive admiration; 5. Has a sense of entitlement , i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations; 6. Is interpersonally exploitative, ie., takes advantage; 7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with feelings and needs of others; 8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her; 9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
While most (if not all) politicians exhibit some or many of these characteristics to one degree or another, one has to meet at least five of these criteria for the diagnosis. I’ll let people decide for themselves about Obama. In my humble but professional opinion (clinical psychologist), my observations confirm to me that he clearly meets five and most likely more of the above criteria. I have never given a diagnostic opinion for anyone without evaluating them personally, so I am reluctant to make this decision. However, as a psychologist may be employed as an expert profiler, this is my firm diagnostic impression. I’m interested in what others may think, keeping in mind their training and experience.
You just described 90%+ of Capitol Hill. Ironically, given that he lacks at the VERY least aspects number 6, 7 and 8, Obama is not among their number.

Hal, you're watching presidential candidate in a mass media context. I would say any stab at clinical diagnosis is sheer buncombe.

Wait, are we talking about Obama or UNC basketball?

Everyone is entitled to express their opinion.
Wait... I need to make a correction on my last post before apostrophy does. I meant to say-Hey Obama lover.....You sniff other peoples' butts'. Wait...That's still not right.
