A few people who can count on Barack Hussein Obama for loyal support:
1. George Hussein Onyango Obama
Barack Obama: "I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper. And in the wealthiest nation on earth right now, we are neglecting to live up to that call."
Ann Althouse: "Now, we know that Barack Obama doesn't 'keep' his actual brother — we remember George Hussein Onyango Obama, the brother who lives a hut — and it's clear that what he means is that government has the moral obligation to regard all citizens as brothers and sisters — I'm coining the word sibizens — and to care for them."
Okay, maybe George is not the best example.
2. Zeituni Onyango, Barack's Aunt
With her deportation hearing still six months away, the controversial Kenyan aunt of President Obama has quietly resurfaced in public housing in South Boston, the [Boston] Herald has learned.
“Beggars can’t be choosers,” Obama’s “Auntie Zeituni” Onyango, 57, told the Herald...
Sorry...another bad example.
3. Creigh Deeds (D, VA)
Shortly before Deeds lost the Virginia Governor’s race, "despite" Obama's help: A senior administration official said Deeds badly erred on several fronts, including not doing a better job of coordinating with the White House...
“Deeds said he was puzzled by the comments from unnamed Obama administration officials who said that he had virtually no chance to defeat Republican Robert F. McDonnell and that such a loss would reflect on Deeds’s failings rather than on Obama’s popularity.
“It is frustrating to read, because that’s not what we’ve been hearing from anybody over there,” Deeds said. “I’m just not sure where the talk is coming from. It just doesn’t make sense. . . . There’s been no disagreements between us of which I’m aware.”
Ouch.
4. Blue Dog Democrats
The president, according to a senior Democratic aide who attended his discussion, told House Dems that newly-elected Rep. Bill Owens proved that members could run on a platform of comprehensive reform and still be elected to Congress.
"He said to look at Bill Owens," the aide recalled. "There is a House seat that's been in Republican hands for more than one hundred years [since 1993, actually]. But Owens didn't run away from reform. He campaigned on it. And he still got elected."
Blue Dogs: Go ahead, vote against your constituents on the Pelosi/Obama Health Care Takeover. Walk the plank. When Obama says he's got your back…you should believe it!
