Obama: "I'm not a Johnny-come-lately! I didn't just show up yesterday and start calling for change"
Finally! I've been dying for the "Johnny-come-lately" soundbite. That Vegas speech sounds like it was a barn-burner.

1. Yay!
McSame deserves everything he gets for that absurd claim that he is an agent of change.

5. Hearing whole, coherent sentences is something I could get used to.
Not sure what I'll do if the POW and Lipschtick get into the White House.

8. Thanks. A slight tweak to the Country Club First banner from LunaSea.
(I'd been meaning to create one, with the diamond, but couldn't find the proper font.)

10. omg... that would *so* make a great starting point for a parody of McCain...

... taunting his "Johnny-come-lately" conversion to change, reform, oversight, regulation and concern for the working man; and underscoring his deceitful campaign.

    There's talk on the street,
    it sounds unfamiliar;
    Great expectations,
    everybody had for you.

    The people you meet,
    they think that they know you;
    'cept for your old friends,
    who've started to care what's true.

    Johnny-come-lately,
    there's a new kid in town;
    everybody loved you,
    'til you let them down.

If only I had an ounce of talent. Maybe somebody else out there can do something with it....
