Here we go with another Barack Obama thing, but this one's really good -- trust me. It ran, according to N.Y. Times political blogger Lisa Tozzi, "just before the start of the Monday Night Football matchup between the Chicago Bears and the St. Louis Rams on ESPN."

I object to his use of the term "baby".
No, my first name ain't "baby". It's Janet.
"Miss Jackson" if you're nasty.

The more the Bush cultist freaks attack Senator Obama the more I like him. Now I understand they don't like his middle name and the way he dresses.
And how much does Junior spend on suits (hide that mic)? Geeeez Jeff, beware of the RW spin on progressives. Remember wingnuts are all closet queers with S/M desires and they have no sense of art.

That was great! Thanks Jeff. Too bad I don't like the Bears, but it's great to see he's got a sense of humour.

Renowned degenerate criminal Tom Delay today called Obama's record in the Illinois state senate on par with a "Marxist leftist."
Oh, this is gonna be good. Real good.

"Obama rhymes with Osama. /runs away."
Hey, don't forget his middle name is Hussein. You're going to hear about that until you're sick of it during the next two years.
Last year I paid good money to hear Ba-Rock Star speak at a Democratic fundraiser in Omaha, Nebraska. (The Democrats in Nebraska are so beaten down they need all the charismatic help they can get.) It's funny saying the words Omaha Obama side by side. Trying saying Omaha Obama six times very fast. Your lips will get numb.
Obama opened his speech saying: "Everywhere I go, people always ask me certain questions. The first question is usually, where did you get such a funny name?"

Well, after watching the clip, I'd say that someone at ESPN got the clever idea of having Barack do a mock dignified West Wing version of the old SNL routine about Da Bears fans.
"Haven't the Bears been losing this season?" "Dat's just Mike Ditka's clever way of toying with the opposition, building up their confidence just to crush them in the end."
Didn't something like 99% of the SNL people do some time at the Second City? He's not from SNL, but I remember back when Cheers was riding high, you couldn't walk into a Chicago bar within a one-mile radius of the Second City without seeing an autographed 8x10 of Second City alum George Wendt on the wall.
Any night at the Second City is better than an entire season of SNL, not that that is saying much.
