[StBernard] Sen. Osama Obama on the New Orleans Saints

[Westley Annis]

How SMART is this guy? He's running for President where there's a large
black political base and he comes on in public and "Damns" Louisiana's
Saints during recovery. Is he looking for every vote if he's elected to
represent the Liberals vs. the Republican runner? 

If he carries Louisiana, I can bet you that that blacks will be just as
"forgiven" of Obama (Oh, Boy, Another Moronic A$$) their cultural pride
aside to assert their vote for him. (I'd feel the same way about a
"contestant" if it were a Republican contender. To many, it's as offensive
as Marion Berry's drug deals and getting re-elected in Washington, DC as
mayor, Bill Jefferson/Nagin getting re-elected in our "wonderful"
neighboring city by those who ignore ethics and prestiege in favor of "bad
is good" and "he's da man for us" mentality. Incredible.

Having Chicago pride is one thing, but knowingly, aggressively attack a very
sensitive, personal organization (even in jest) is disturbing, if not having
a chilling effect (no pun intended).

 Not to discuss the taboo-ed political agenda in this case for any specific
party (in exception, I believe one is worse than the other <G>, but to
remark on this action which pi$$es off Saints fans which has indeed helped
us in recovery by diversion, hope and entertainment delight.

Obama to Saints: 'This fairy tale ends'

 HARVEY, IL -- New Orleans' football season is all but over. 
 
 
 
Associated Press
Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL)
 
 
 That's the message Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL., has for Saints fans when their
team comes to Chicago for Sunday's NFC championship game. 
 
 
 "The Bears are going to the Super Bowl," a gleeful Obama told reporters
Monday outside a church in suburban Chicago. "I am happy for New Orleans. I
think it's a wonderful story for their city, but this fairy tale ends when
they come to Chicago." 
 
 
 The winner of the Saints-Bears matchup will head to Miami to play either
the Indianapolis Colts or New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 4. 
 
 
 The athletic prediction from the state's junior senator, considered an
early favorite for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, struck
little fear into Louisiana's congressional delegation. 
 
 
 "All I'll say is that the Saints reflect the same spirit of hope and
recovery that the people of New Orleans have," said Adam Sharp, a spokesman
for Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. "Every challenge that comes up and is put in
front of them, they surmount every one. And we're looking forward to the
game." 
 
 
 Obama said he was pleased with quarterback Rex Grossman during the Bears'
27-24 overtime win against Seattle. 
 
 
 "The defense bent but it did not break," he said. "And Grossman looked all
right."
