Headline: One More Weekend Win For Obama — a Grammy

Mon, 02/11/2008 - 8:45am by CitizenSugar

Beating out fellow nominees Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama scored a Grammy last night for his spoken word performance of his book The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream.

Even though Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter lost last night, they've both taken home the Grammy award before — Clinton's done so twice. Obama and Hillary Clinton are not only close in the race for delegates, they're now tied in the crucial "Democratic Presidential Candidate Grammy Race" with one win each.

If that's your complaint mymellowman, ,he may as well pick George W! That way we'd have a President who actually inhaled and a VP who snorted! A dream ticket!

Oh simmer down little one, It's just a joke.

Anyhow, I don't think W has a Grammy, but I'm sure Winehouse would fit into the won a Grammy/Snorted tons of things up her nose category. Smiling

Oh, lighten up, everybody. Obviously this post is just for fun. Jeez. Crongrats to Obama on the Grammy win. I'm not surprised; he does have that lovely voice.
