I have a suggestion for my fellow Republicans who have not given up their attempt to keep Barack Obama from serving as President – just put him in the middle of the ongoing steroid scandal. What does steroids have to do with Obama? Let me explain…
1) He doesn’t bowl well but he can play basketball. Apparently, he even has a decent jumpshot although he hasn’t had to face my man to man defense. Strike One.
2) He doesn’t dance like an average politician so there must be some performance enhancing substance helping to make him get his groove. Wait a minute, I used “groove on” and politician in the same sentence… oy vey. Strike Two.
3) He always comes through smelling like a rose. We have thrown everything at him (including the kitchen sink, Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin and Alan Keyes) and he still ends up winning elections. Strike Three.
The right wing has tried the citizenship angle, the religious scare, and racial divisions to marginalize Barack Obama and none of them have worked. If steriods can move A-Rod, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens from the sports page to the front page of the legal section, maybe it can move Obama from the front page to the back page of history.
