Obama nominated for Grammy

Illinois' junior senator Barack Obama's nauseating zoom to political superstardom was bolstered yesterday when he was nominated for a Grammy for best spoken word album. The recording features Obama's voice reading his 1995 autobiography "Dreams from My Father."
Obama's fellow Grammy nominees include other radical liberal activists Al Franken, George Carlin and Sean Penn.
Maybe that list is the way Hollywood attempts to balance the right's control of the White House, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House.
Have you noticed in photos how large Obama's head seems to be these days?

Fran Eaton is hateful. For as much of a Christian as you claim to be there isn't much room for others' opinions in your bubble world huh? So much for love thy neighbor.

Of course...its that kind of thinking that might just ruin the Republicans' chances of winning the gubernatorial race next year. If your only issue is abortion, then you might as well pack it in and move to a state that already has its budget balanced, the perfect education and health care system, and plenty of jobs to go around. Good luck.

Alan Keyes, who you couldn't pay to shut up when he was within a hundred yards of a microphone, was not nominated in the spoken word category. Is there no justice?

Even if you can't stand Barack Obama, aren't you pretty much required to just grin and bear it if you were part of the Keyes campaign? It's got to kill you to know that you probably did more to elect Barack Obama to the US Senate than those of us that worked on his campaign.

Enjoy it. There's still five more years in his term.

I'm sure this will lead to another press tour by Obama. He'll be working hard representing the people of Illinois with Grammy appearances on "The View", "Regis & Kelly", and "Oprah". Thank God we have such great political leadership!

Radical liberal, love it Fran. So radical that Rich Lugar, radical liberal lover, has taken a liking to him and worked with him on important legislation to safeguard our children.

What bothers me is that you and your cohorts can't bring yourselves to say that he is a reasoned, thoughtful, careful politician. Look at his troop redeployment proposal. Yet you'll sing the praises of a schmuck like Thune who's desire for limelight and fame would make him do anything to get a little more popularity. People like him are radical and wreckless.

Get over it, for your own credibility.

It just makes my day to know that the Grammy thing annoyed Fran Eaton.
Not as much as when Sen. Obama destroyed her candidate Alan "It is not I who spoke, but The Lord" Keyes, but still a good day.

In fairness to Sen. Obama, there have been many politicians, Republicans as well as Democrats, who have been nominated (and some have even won) the Grammy is the spoken word catagory. I know that Richard Nixon was among those who earned such a nomination (and he may have won that year).

In Sen. Obama's case, the nomination was for reading segments from his book in a format that those who are blind or similarly impared can at least listen to what they are unable to read.

Obama isn't even the first Senator from Illinois to get a nomination. Sen Dirksen won that grammy once as well.

Seriously, there are not liberal hobgoblins behind everything involving the media.
