Barack Who? Got an ID., fella?
WASHINGTON _ He may be making history with a face that shows up in most papers most days and on Web sites around the world. But could it be that Barack Obama looks different in person?
The Hill, a weekly that focuses on Congress, reports that Obama breezed into the Washington Sports Club recently for a workout. Accompanied by his security detail, Obama proceeded right by the front desk, controlled by the omniscient Takhehia Wheeler.
Here, according to Wheeler, is what happened next:
Wheeler: “Sir, you need to come back.
Obama complied. Wheeler asked for his ID.
Wheeler: “What’s your last name?”
Obama: “Obama.”
Wheeler: “So what’s your first name?”
Wheeler then realized with whom she was speaking.
“Sorry, Mr. Future President,” she said.
Washington is a tough town.
If she saw McCain and asked him the same question, he probably wouldn’t remember.
Just like McCain forgot he was against torture before he voted for torture!
Just like McCain voted against Bush’s tax cuts for the “wealthiest in the country” before now when he supports the breaks!
Just like McCain supported family values before he dumped his wife who raised his kids while he was a POW, for an Arizona heiress (and a Congressional seat)!
Just like McCain was against far right wing religious zealots in 2000 when they supported Bush, and now seeks out and is proud of being endorsed by bigots who spew hatespeech against Catholics and Muslims!
McCain is a Bush clone!
