Yahoo! Says Obama Bin Laden World’s Number One Terrorist
OSAMA bin Laden is the most wanted man on Earth. Ooop! No, make that Obama bin Laden. No, wait. It’s Obama bin Osama.

Barack Obama Has Gerald Ford’s Poise And Bush’s Way With Words
HERE’S Barack Obama treating Joe Biden as a fool:
MR. OBAMA: (Laughs.) You know, I don’t remember exactly what Joe was referring to, not surprisingly. (Laughter.) But let me try this out.
I think what Joe may have been suggesting, although I wouldn’t put numerical — I would ascribe any numerical percentage to any of this, is that given the magnitude of the challenges that we have, any single thing that we do is going to be part of the solution, not all of the solution….

Obama Watch: Obama’s Second, Third And Fourth Coming, And Bible Studies
BARACK Obama Watch: Anorak’s look at the Cult of Obama…
“I was at the podium closest to the first family and the Bidens. I couldn’t looked over for very long. It’s like looking at the sun” – Laura Linney, Hollywood Reporter
“I am Mark Saggers and this is the first 5Live Sport of the Barack Obama presidency” – BBC
“Oh…Oh… Oh… Obama: New hope for the future of Orgasms! Rampant Rabbit Wave, exclusive to Ann Summers. ‘Yes we can believe in’ – Now £10 off” – Ann summers
As a Leo, President Obama’s high standards and complete professionalism won’t stand for being treated with contempt or ridicule, buy they are vey aware of other people’s need for dignity, so his relationship with Brown should be interesting as Brown, a Piscean on the cusp of Aries, has a tendency to be hot-tempered, impetuous and impatient” – Press Release, GanashSpeaks
“When Barack Obama steps out for his inauguration later tonight, a little piece of Australia will be on stage with him. His wife, Michelle, will be wearing an Australian-made daytime eye-shadow” – Today tonight, Australia
President, Larry Younginer knelt in front of the congregants at his suburban Atlanta church and offered a prayer of thanks.
“Lord, we have again come to you in prayer, and you have heard our cries from heaven, and you have sent us again from the state called Illinois, a man called Barack to heal our land. We pray that you will build a hedge around him that will protect him from those who would do him harm….”
[Lawrence Carter, dean of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel:
“It is powerful and significant on a spiritual level that there is the emergence of Barack Obama 40 years after the passing of Dr. King. No one saw him coming, and Christians believe God comes at us from strange angles and places we don’t expect, like Jesus being born in a manger” – Chicago Tribune
“Oxford is playing a key role in a historical event today – as President–Elect Barack Obama takes an oath of office on a Bible published by Oxford University Press” – Oxford University press release

Sarah Palin Interview: How Bristol Palin Got Her Name
BRISTOL Palin. Would you? Would you call your daughter Bristol, as in Bristol City? Sarah Palin explains:
Two meanings in Bristol’s name: I worked at the Bristol Inn, and Todd grew up in Bristol Bay. But also, Bristol, Connecticut, is the home of ESPN. And when I was in high school, my desire was to be a sportscaster. ESPN was just kicking off, just getting off the ground, and I thought that’s what I was going to do in life, is be one of the first woman sportscasters. Until I learned that you’d have to move to Bristol, Connecticut. It was far away. So instead, I had a daughter and named her Bristol.

BARBRA Streisand says George Bush, whom she had just been kissed by, will be remembered for “the ruination of our country”. And – irony of ironies – “But, he was very disarming…”
Indeed, he was disarming in Iraq and Afghanistan. So Bush is war. Or will Bush be remembered for his environmentalism:
The United States overtook Germany as the biggest producer of wind power last year, new figures showed, and will likely take the lead in solar power this year…
