Obama in Kansas

[ClydeR]

Obama went to Kansas (http://www.kansascity.com/445/story/467282.html) where he emphasized his white heritage to let everybody know that his win in South Carolina won't be like Jesse Jackson's 1998 South Carolina victory.


Highlighting his heritage as the son of a white, Midwestern mother as well as a black, Kenyan father, Obama's first stop was El Dorado, Kan., hometown of his grandfather.

"We're among friends here. We're family," Obama joked, prompting cheers from 2,000 supporters, most of them white, packing a college gymnasium.

While in the Sunflower State, he also picked up the endorsement of Governor Kathleen Sebelius, whose son made headlines (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,325852,00.html) this month by selling a raunchy adult oriented board game from the Kansas governor's mansion. Governor Sebelius needs to get her own house in order before telling everybody how to vote, and Obama should be more selective about whose endorsement he accepts.

Edit - Jesse Jackson won the South Carolina primary in 1988, not 1998.

If anything her son is guilty of over creative bad taste and his actual residence as the company location instead of setting up a PO box.

Yes, he was living with his parents while he made the game which was part of a class project.

There's really nothing in 'her house' that needs cleaning if you're to go by the only source you referenced in your post.

B+ for the spin attempt though. :yes:



TOPEKA, Kan. —
The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled "Don't Drop the Soap," a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.


John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said both parents "are very proud of their son John's creativity and talent."

John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet site for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact information on the Web site lists the address of the governor's mansion. Corcoran said the address will change when John Sebelius moves.

The game also goes on sale starting Jan. 31 at a shop called Hobbs in the college town of Lawrence.

The site describes, "Don't Drop the Soap" as a game "Where no one playing enters through the front door!"

"Fight your way through 6 different exciting locations in hopes of being granted parole," the site says. "Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss' lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse's desk in the Infirmary, avoid being cornered by the Aryans in the Shower Room, fight off Latin Kings in Gang War, and try not to smoke your entire stash in The Hole."

The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using 'Wheelz," muscle-flexing "Anferny" and business suit-clad "Sal 'the Butcher."'

Corcoran said John Sebelius sought legal advice to be sure he followed proper requirements, and he even took out a loan on his own to pay for the production of his work.

"This game is intended for mature audiences — not children — and is simply intended for entertainment," Corcoran said.

Regards the board game her son made, raunchy is not the term I'd use, unless I was trying to spin it. It's a game about criminals, similar to Monopoly, and the object of the game is to be paroled.

Oh, I see Gan got it.

PS - Obama was a block away from where I work in the Municipal Auditorium yesterday.

Watching Clyder try to spin things negatively is hysterical.

Seriously buddy, get a life.
