kenny...Maybe this sherrod guy is moslum and it is his duty to beat women? I don't think obama would do very well beating his wife, she looks a lot stronger to me? Report: Obama Fans Papered with Sherrod Brown Restraining Order by Breitbart News breitbart.com Yesterday, Breitbart News reported on the checkered past of Sherrod Brown, the Ohio Senator with whom Barack Obama launched his reelection campaign earlier today. Included in Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro's report was a restraining order against Brown filed by his ex-wife Larke and granted by the court. During divorce filings, Larke Brown alleged abuse by then Ohio Secretary of State Brown. Today, Brown and Obama campaigned together at Ohio State University's Schottenstein Center. According to sources close to Breitbart News, conservative activists papered cars outside the arena with excerpts of the aforementioned restraining order as well as yesterday's Breitbart News report. Larke Brown's motion asked the court to stop Sherrod from “harassing, including telephone harassment, annoying, interfering with or doing bodily harm to this Plaintiff at her residence or elsewhere.” Shapiro drew attention to the irony of Obama choosing to launch his campaign with Brown in the midst of the alleged "War on Women."

I see............ AND..............all of these people waited to turn 66 after Bush left office, and decided to age and turn 66 right now when Obama (the Muslim President) was in charge of the economy for 4 years? Do you really think people here are as dumb as your Muslim Hero thinks they are, spreading this kind of crap? You are hysterical and out of control with fear. You, Edwards and Obama are toast...............FINISHED..............Washed Up....................get used to it.

Former AG: Obama had memo drafted to blame military if Bin Laden assassination failed You will remember that about two weeks ago, I reported that President Obama voted present on the Bin Laden assassination. Contrary to his attempts to present himself as a leader who made a 'gutsy call' to kill Bin Laden, Obama left the decision up to commanders in the field. Well, it's worse than that. On Friday, Sean Hannity showed an interview with former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who said that Obama had Leon Panetta draft a memo to protect the President politically in case the operation failed. If the operation to kill Bin Laden had failed, the US military was to be blamed. Let's go to the videotape. This video is devastating to Obama, and not just because of his attempts to cover his tail in the Bin Laden assassination, but also because of the comparisons to Abraham Lincoln and Dwight Eisenhower.

Obama’s auditorium was so empty today that “ushers were asking people at the rally to move ‘in order for seats to look full for TV’” Desperate but not humbled. Via ABC News: The president routinely tells Democratic audiences that he knows it will be difficult to recapture the energy that powered him to the White House. He got a reminder of that struggle in Columbus: His rally drew 14,000 people to an arena that holds 18,300. And before he spoke, the Ohio State University newspaper The Lantern tweeted that ushers were asking people at the rally to move “in order for seats to look full for TV.” See Second Deck Empty: Obama Launches His Reelection Campaign Before Half-Full House
