Superdelegate Baird endorses Obama
Posted by David Postman
Congressman Brian Baird endorsed Barack Obama this morning. The Obama campaign released a statement from Baird. It said in part:
The Democratic nominating process began with a very strong field of candidates which has since been narrowed to two outstanding individuals. Both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton would bring new vision, strong leadership and much needed change to the Presidency. After much thought and consideration, I am announcing today that I am endorsing Senator Barack Obama to be the Democratic Candidate and the next President of the United States of America.

Many thanks to the newest member of my Hari-Krishna like cult...Krishna Baird. I encourage Brian to shave his head, wrap himself in a sheet and go sell flowers for me at the airport.
New beginning, Yes We Can, Change..blah, blah, blah just a jackin' my jaws with one meaningless platitude after another.
White folks are mighty gullible.

Don't confuse sincere ideas, well presented, as a cult. Senator Obama has the best platform, best run campaign, best advisers, and best judgment of any in the race.
He's got my vote, and my $250.
Can't wait for January 09.

Well Hal, you're going to have to give up a lot more than $250 if Barack is our prez, just how will he pay for all the new socialistic programs he wants? Of course there's also his pledge of a new political atmosphere, not to be critical yada, yada, yada, all while he is slamming the current prez and telling everyone how disgusted he is that he's related to Dick Cheney, yep, that's a nice new political outlook we haven't seen yet.....on the other hand, he is a nice looking man that speaks well.

We had really better hope Hillary doesn't get the nomination. She doesn't easily forget betrayals such as this.

Can any Obama supporter please tell me one legiclature accomplishment he has ever had? I can look at MCCain and see MccAin Kennedy, McCain Fiengold. With Hillary, I can see her attempt for a health care plan during her husband's administration as well as SCHIP and the Adoption and Safe Families Act.
Can anyone name an Obama sponsored intiative????
