All about Barack Obama and his campaign for the presidency. Whether you love him or you hate him, you can't deny that he is shaping the debate!
His full name is Barack Hussein Obama. His middle name and family religious background have already come under scrutiny.

He is the junior U.S. Senator from Illinois.

According to the U.S. Senate Historical Office, he is the fifth African American Senator in U.S. history and the only African American presently serving in the U.S. Senate.

Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. In November 2004, he was elected to the United States Senate as a Democrat.

Recent opinion polls show that Barack Obama is the most popular choice among Democratic voters for their party's nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

He is married to Michelle Obama and he has two daughters.

Barack Obama Exposed As A Muslim Giraffe From France…

In response to the fellow here on the Zimbio Barack Obama Zine who declared that if Barack Obama is elected President, "We revert back into the dark ages and slavery, dictatorship's and rule. If you won't stand up and fight now...before they sink their teeth in for the final time...we ALL LOSE!", I bring you the following shocking news headline: Barack Obama Exposed As A Muslim Giraffe From France Whose Secret Brother Is A Stockbroker for Satan!

Really, aren’t the attacks against Barack Obama getting about this silly? As if the Republicans hadn’t made big enough idiots out of themselves with their mountain of failures under George W. Bush, now they’re careening out of control with absurd claims about Barack Obama:

- Obama is a fundamentalist Islamic terrorist and a radical anti-religion Marxist at the same time
- Obama is involved in a secret conspiracy from Kenya to create a one world government
- Obama, a man who was raised by a single mother and needed to earn scholarships to go to college is an elitist (but John McCain, who owns eight houses and supports tax cuts for the rich, is a man of the people)
- Obama is the antichrist

I feel genuine compassion for these Republicans. They’ve been told that certain things are true, and then seen those supposed truths discredited one by one. The people they’ve put their trust in have abused them.

It’s hard to let go of old ideas that just don’t work any more - even if those ideas hurt. That’s why these Republicans are becoming so extreme in their desperation to destroy Barack Obama. They just don’t want to give up their Republican vision of the world, no matter how out of touch it has become, so they need to go to the absolute extreme before they’ll be ready to admit they were wrong.

Let me help them. I’ve constructed the next step in the Republican conspiracy theory machine for them, to help them get to that ideological low point more quickly… and then we progressives will be there to help them pick up the pieces.

Are you ready, Republican dittoheads? Take notes - here’s your next talking point: Barack Obama is a Muslim giraffe from France whose secret brother is a stockbroker for Satan. Now you can go send out your emails to your husbands’ second cousins’ warning them about this new evil truth about Obama. Hop to it!
