Last month it was school children merrily singing the praises of Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm. Mmm. Mm! Today it's a Chicago Sun-Times article by writer Mary Houlihan headlined, "Political junkie still 7 years from voting, calls for Obama: Lorenzo's calls for Obama land him on HBO." Begins Houlihan:
Lorenzo Rivera may be only 11 years old, but he knows more about politics than many adults.
The Chicago fifth-grader proves just how much in the new documentary "By the People: The Election of Barack Obama," where he is filmed making campaign calls on Obama's behalf in 2008.
In the movie, debuting at 8 p.m. Tuesday on HBO, filmmakers Amy Rice and Alicia Sams capture Lorenzo, only 9 at the time, handling a call to a confused voter with a calm and grace belying his young age.
Later in the article, Houlihan reports that the calm and graceful Lorenzo's father just happens to work for U. S. Senator Roland Burris (D-IL). Quite a coincidence there.
One must credit the boy for sticking with the party line. Houlihan quotes him:
"I think a lot of people are putting way too much pressure on him (Obama)," Lorenzo said, sounding like a true politician. "The economy was about to crash and he stopped it from a total meltdown. But that doesn't mean he can totally fix it in such a short time."
Even in articles purportedly reviewing TV programs, the mainstream media can find a way to beat the drum for - and make excuses for - Obama. Mmm. Mmm. Mm!

So now we have evidence
November 2, 2009 - 13:45 ET by HockeyKidSo now we have evidence that Uhbama's leadership qualities are those of an 11-year-old. Probably not the message Mizz Houlihan was trying to send, but whose fault is that? Mmm, mmm, mmm.

November 2, 2009 - 13:45 ET by jessieHCan the democrats get any lower? Using their own children to campaign for them is reprehensible. Hitler would be proud.
Was that a Rhetorical question
November 2, 2009 - 13:52 ET by Thinking.ManThe real one is "How low can a Democrat go", when they find the bottom they just start digging again.
I am pretty sure that someday they are going to find the leftist gene and in some way or the other it will be related to cancer.
Liberals are willing to
November 2, 2009 - 15:05 ET by gmaniac1Liberals are willing to reset the boundaries of low one can go for political expediency that it would make a dwarf seem tall.
Oh, and be careful using the Hitler reference against the libtards as they do not like when you use their own slight against them, even though it's more accurate for us conservatives to use the term, i.e. socialist, progressive.

Give advice to Acorn staffers on how to "Organize" so that people that vote for your candidate make it to the polls, and others are "counseled" on how to make the right choice.
Sheesh, what do you want to bet that when this kid hit's about 25 he is going to be an ultra-conservative, nothing like being force fed leftist indoctrination 24x7 to terrify you into sanity, either that or he will be a serial killer, thanks dad, thanks dad (yeah you know it)
LMAO - Check back in 2025, if we still have "Electricity" in the country that is.

It's a short flick, but it's my pick. The gold standard.

November 2, 2009 - 13:54 ET by Six String SpiffSee, this makes sense to me.
Obama and his fifth grade mentality appeals to fifth graders!
This kid on HBO has already worked harder than BHO though. Why not give him the Presidency?

November 2, 2009 - 13:59 ET by MrShyHey Blonde, remember yesterday when I urged you not to view that YouTube clip? That you'll be grabbing for a special bag? Well......
Good thing we have Mike Bates and all the fine people at NB to do the painful grunt work. :)
Very kind, MrShy
November 2, 2009 - 19:06 ET by Mike BatesYour check will be in the mail just as soon as BHO sends me a stimulus check.
Back when I was in 5th
November 2, 2009 - 14:03 ET by MikeBBack when I was in 5th grade, I thought that if the UN outlawed war, there would be no more war. I thought that if the government printed more money and distributed it, there would be no more poor people.
Then, I grew up and learned how the world and humankind actually worked. I put away childish thoughts and beliefs and took up adult responsibilities. If the UN outlawed war, there would still be war because there are still evil, corrupt people who attain power and are willing to steal land and economic assets from other countries. If the government printed more money, it would make everybody poor because the money would not have any value. Note to the very slow: government does not make money, it prints currency. It does not become money until it is used to facilitate an economic transaction. It retains value because it is kept relatively scarce. Turning on the printing presses results in hyper-inflation. Look up the history of Austria-Hungary after WWI and Argentina in the '70's.
It's a good thing this kid is interested in politics. I just hope the kid gets educated and grows up before he starts voting for a marxist-socialist. But I won't hold my breath.

darling
November 2, 2009 - 15:21 ET by RoloTI understand that since the little darling was only 10 years old during the November election, he was allowed to vote for Obama only three times. Even chicago politics has it's limits.
I cannot cancel my HBO subscription fast enough.

I get annoyed when I get
November 2, 2009 - 16:07 ET by Radical1979I get annoyed when I get cold calls from politicians or their people. I'd have been REALLY ticked off if a nine year old called to interupt my dinner to tell me who to vote for.
I wish to hell a live person
November 3, 2009 - 07:56 ET by theduck6WOULD call me. All I get are robo-calls. I would love to ask a few politicians what the heck they are doing to my country but all I get are recordings.
