Barbour holds lengthy meeting with advisers to discuss possible presidential run

[Derek]

He may decide to run but Haley Barbour is more the running mate type. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see a southerner with a conservative agenda as my president.

Tobacco lobbyist? Good I chew for even cheaper. What this country needs is a commander in chief who is not afraid of cutting welfare and unemployment benefits to pay off the debts they have caused. You've gotta remember that is a winning issue. I love his accent and wish mine was as thick. His focus should be on PA and OH cuz then he'd win the election.

[Derek]

Unfortunately, I don't see our country being open minded enough to vote for Barbour. That's too bad at least Mississippi gets it right.

Obama worked for them as a community organizer and all they were was a phony political organization to get guys like him in office. Can you prove they're a credible group?

"Phony political organization" is a pretty weak phrase.  They were indeed working to get people registered to vote, and you cannot by law not turn in a voter registration card if you're a registered deputy registrar in most places (I was one once).  Even if the guy writes down Mickey Mouse on his voter registration card, that's going in.  This is not voter fraud.  Mickey Mouse will not show up to vote on election day and his being a registered voter has no bearing on the election.

Obama was there attorney at one point. He stood up for them helping people to stay on welfare when coming into this country and not having to work. He even ignored the child prostitution rings that helped to pay for the rest of the homes and apartments that these people were living in.

As far as getting "guys like him into office," all political advocacy organizations want sympathetic voices.

And there's the fact that he keeps a Confederate flag signed by Jefferson Davis is in his office. And the fact that he attended fundraisers for the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens (the descendent of the White Citizen's Council) and refused to ask them to remove a photo of him on their web page.

good I can chew for cheaper

[Derek]
