WEDNESDAY IN THE PARK WITH OBAMA
Barack Obama wrapped up an hour town hall meeting this afternoon in Garfield Park talking to Hoosiers about gas prices, education and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Obama said Senator Hillary Clinton’s call to suspend the gas tax for summer would only amount to savings of about 30 cents a day. He says he’s putting the issue of Jeremiah Wright behind them and focusing on issues like health care and education.
Obama and his wife had lunch at the Beech Grove home of Mike and Cheryl Fisher. They talked over sandwiches. Mike Fisher, who considers himself a good judge of character, said Obama came across as a very likable person and he did not hold the controversial remarks of Obama’s former pastor against him. He also said the Obamas are not elitists and could connect with blue-collar, working class Hoosiers.

Are you giving time to the other candidates? Your show the last two weeks has been nothing but a One sided political announcement for your man Obama. Your man-crush is showing. Even so, you should try to be more objective.

We give time to everybody. We play audio from the candidates and do it unedited. Try getting that anywhere else in town.

Stop with the “drug addict on the other station” stuff. It just makes you sounds bitter or jealous.
And seriously, Obama can connect with Hoosier blue-collar workers. Come on, if people didn’t get a taste of who Obama is when he’s talking to his rich buddies behind closed doors it’s because they’re already in the tank.

Don’t stop refering to the “drug addict”. In his own words he should have been executed. How views change when they involve yourself. I hope everyone who buys into project chaos learns to love saying “Madam President”. I will laugh myself silly listening to the crying for the next 8 years.

“I will laugh myself silly listening to the crying for..”
Nah, we’re not the crybabies like the left. I’ll give you guys credit though, you can whine,cry, and moan as well as my 4 year-old girl when she doesn’t get her way.
But I’m not worried, once the primaries are over, if Hillary’s left standing, the RNC will remind everyone why her unfavorables were historic. Barry’ll be easy, nobody wants a hate-whitey,hate-America president (except the left, of course, that’s the ideal candidate).
