“I can’t say it any clearer: I will be helping Chris Dodd because he deserves the help,” Obama told the Boston Globe. “He just has an extraordinary record of accomplishment, and I think the people of Connecticut will come to recognize that.”
Dodd, facing the lowest public approval ratings of his long political career, already faces Republican opposition in the 2010 election: Former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons and state Sen. Sam S.F. Caligiuri recently announced their intentions to run for the seat.

Hey All,
Is it just me, or when Obama says something like “Let me be clear”, or “Let me say this as clearly as I can”, or “I can’t say it any clearer” I get this chill down my spine like when someone rakes their finger nails across a chalkboard?
The man hasn’t said a “clear” thing since taking office. Wait til tomorrow, there will be exceptions to the “clear” statements.

Do those statements remind you of Richard Nixon “Let me make this “perfectly” clear!”

JAMES,
I was thinking the same thing, Maybe we need to have a “Nickname” like “Tricky Dicky”.
Any suggestions?
I can’t think of anything that rhymes with Barack, or Obama. Lucky son of a gun.
Guess I’ll have to stick to “The Usurper”.
