He's plenty black for this guy..

Congressman refers to Obama as 'that boy;' now says it was 'poor choice of words'

"That boy's finger does not need to be on the (nuclear) button," Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Ky., said of Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama at a GOP fundraiser Saturday night. Some blogs, including Pol Watchers, caught on to the congressman's comment. Now, he's saying that it was a "poor choice of words," the Associated Press reports.

Obama's campaign is not amused:

"It's hard to tell what is more outrageous," Obama spokesman Bill Burton says in a statement e-mailed to reporters, "Rep. Davis' condescending and personal attack, or his absurd and offensive claim that Barack Obama is not prepared to defend America.

"Geoff Davis may hide behind offensive tough talk, but he has marched in lock-step with Bush-McCain policies that have devastated our national security while Barack Obama has stood up against a misguided war in Iraq and worked with respected Republicans like Dick Lugar and Chuck Hagel to secure loose weapons and nuclear materials from terrorists."

Obama has my vote..

McCain just knows and likes war, admits he knows nothing about the economy. He's proven he can be bought.

I can't stand Hillary. period.
