I AM OBAMA

So what?

I didn't do drugs, I knew of classmates that did, but I drank, chased girls -- with very little success -- and failed to apply myself through high school as well.

Doesn't mean I'm not a good guy with great intentions now.

I'd be leary of anybody who claimed he DIDN'T do any of those things in high school.

 

[I love puppies!]

Wasn't all of this in his biography that came out years ago?

At last - a candidate who shares in common the experiences of every male American born since the founding of the Republic.

Yes, and that's mentioned in the article.

Sounds like the kind of guy I'd like to have a beer with. He's got my vote.

I didn't do drugs or drink alcohol in high school, but I made up for lost time in college.

With all the problems in America now, I don't think anyone should give a **** about who did what in high school.

In fact, if anything, it makes him more endearing and authentic.

Makes me more likely to vote for him. He's human and he's honest about it.

 

[JR]

At least he didn't admit to chasing boys.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Again, though, why now? He went through this at least a year ago. (He was asked in re: weed if he'd inhaled. "That was sort of the point," was his answer.)
I think this is response to that stink-bomb hurled the other day in the column of Bob Novak, dirtbag extraordinaire.

Lets review:
In High School, Obama got high, got laid, got beers, played ball.

In High School, Hillary was a Goldwater Girl.

Exactly. High school's the last thing anybody should give a **** about in this election.

For gods sake, who gives a toss. All that matters is how they're going to run the country.

If elected, obviously.

I'd say they both aren't qualified, but at least I can understand Obama, we can relate, we are contemporaries.

When he was 40, George Bush got drunk and threatened to punch out his father on the lawn.

His last lucid moment?

 

[Beaker]

God, the level of political discourse in America just keeps falling. From Edwards' hair, to Hillary's tipping habits, to Obama's high school activities.

I mean really, who gives a flying ****????

Whew! I did chase girls in high school. Not very well, though.

Never really caught one until college.
