Obama Dallas rally

The Nightly Build...

Obama Knows Something About Fighting

The Dallas Morning News' Bruce Tomaso reported the money quote of the day, a line from Ron Kirk's introduction to Barack Obama at today's Reunion Arena rally. Former Dallas mayor Kirk said some people aren't sure that Barack Obama is a fighter. But, Mayor Kirk said, "a little skinny kid with big old ears and a name that rhymes with 'Yo Mama' - you'd better believe that he knows something about fighting."

Expect President Obama to find a job in Washington for Mayor Kirk. Unless, of course, the press discovers that the rhyme Obama Yo Mama is not original. Then, Kirk is screwed.

Honorable mention for money quote goes to Obama himself, who, promised, "We're gonna send [George Bush] back to Texas." The line normally elicits big cheers from the crowd. This time, in front of a Texas crowd, the audience booed.

Finally, in a quote that indicates just how low our government has sunk during the Bush administration, Obama promised, "When you elect me, you will have a president... who will obey the Constitution of the United States of America." You might think that should go without saying. No longer, after eight years of George W Bush.
