"Bon Clay" needs help fighting the 'muslim clothing' attack.

To combat the Obama in "muslim clothing" meme, I'm starting a photobucket to catalog all of the instances of officials wearing foreign clothing. So far we've got Laura Bush, Chelsea Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi in hijabs--hardly radical Islamic collaborators, right? If you guys have any more of these pictures, post them here so I can put it up and we have an easy reference for rebuttals.

Goon "idhindsight" issues a challenge

Hey guys, I've been following the campaign and these threads for some time. I always thought Obama seemed like a pretty good guy, and I heard great things about his new message of hope, but up until December or so, I didn't think he had much of a chance.

I was always a disenfranchised independent; I never found any candidates that really shared my views nor did I feel that anyone stood for me. Out of my own interest (and at the behest of my wife to please vote -- I was seriously considering not voting at all this year since Hillary was the clear nominee for so long) I took a few of the small polls on the web that show which candidates are most in line with your political beliefs. Barack Obama came out with 80% or more inline with my beliefs on every single poll.

So I became more and more interested, and started following these threads.

I went from a disenfranchised man with nothing but contempt for the state of our political process, to a casual supporter, and finally today I have donated $50.01 through the great City Name to Barack Hussein Obama, my President.

I'm just a married young white father of one in rusty Ohio, and it's only $50.01. It's all I can do. But with your help, we can do more.

Help me make it $500.10.

I'm calling on ten goons to match me by the start of the Cleveland debates, 9PM EST Tuesday, February 26th, 2008.

Yes We Can

EDIT: I made a fundraiser on my.barackobama.com to keep track of this! Donate here:

The worst rendition of the National Anthem ever recorded

Oh also it's from when that awesome picture of Obama not putting his hand over his heart was taken (remember hand over heart is not technically proper, not that putting a part of your body over another part, symbolic or not, is worth anything in terms of patriotism!)

Obama to Reporter: I'm Sorry for "Messing Up Your Game"

This was a nasty weekend in politics, so I'm capping my Sunday night off with this old, but still awesome little piece of news.
