Obama Rolls Out "New Campaign Weapon": Half-Sister Maya Soetoro-Ng

Newsweek:

Barack Obama rolls out a new campaign weapon this week: his half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, who hits the campaign trail on Thursday. The 37-year-old Soetoro-Ng, a high-school teacher in Honolulu whose red hatchback is plastered with her brother's bumper stickers, says she always knew Barack was destined for great things. "My mom and I had a joke that he would become the first black president," she told NEWSWEEK. "He was so smart, but also wise beyond his years. He had so commanding a presence. He was like a little big man. We called him 'the little big man,' because in many ways he was an old man when he was a kid."

Looks like it would be easier to roll her.

She looks fat!

[TheInsomniac]

The trolls are out in full force today.

[SlippingInTheDip]

Seems like Mom was a playa....

[TheInsomniac]

Because she had kids with different fathers? That's probably true of millions of Americans, so are they all players?

[SlippingInTheDip]

YES...

[Ping]

She's good looking.

[starrianna]

Someone needs to throw her back.

[uheardme]

Someone needs to throw you back, fat bitch.

[brooklyncitizen]

Great....what a diverse family...we really need to have something other than white bread in the white house.

[starrianna]

Why is Barack Obama half-everything?

[TheInsomniac]

To make up for you being nothing of nothing.

[Zhonni]

Oh My Goodness!!!!!!!!!

Is a demented person reading my reasonable comments and deleting them?

Post that are taken off contains profanity mine doesn't.

Why would anybody, ANYBODY, try to censor a harmless comment.

I am very outraged! WHAT NONSENSE!!

[starrianna]

Zhonni,

For once I AGREE WITH YOU!

You should have read the comments that I wrote in here that were scrubbed!

They were less inflammatory than your usual comments!

[Zhonni]

There's no way my comments are half as inflamatory as yours. I critic on the issues past or present; I solemly do the name calling stuff.

That is what you are known for.

Anyways, it's good to agree for once that we both support Obama.

[otispfudpucker]

I posted three comments on another article here on Huffo, they had no profanity whats so ever and were scrubbed.
Talk about big brother.....

[OhPlease2007]

I commented that there are three prominent African American civil rights leaders (amongst the many others) that have endorsed John Edwards, and my comment was deleted; it shows the utter desperation of the 'Obama Rama at The Huffington Post!'

LOL

[OhPlease2007]

NOW my 'ORIGINAL' Post is back up. Way to go Huffpost!

LOL

[Qbear]

scrubbing the LIARS......HA!

[Dandy12]

After Bush, I don't know how we would react to having someone warm, honest, astute, and intelligent around...

[TheInsomniac]

I don't think Americans are ready for such a thing. We're too used to ignoring morality so that we can comfortably go about our selfish lives.

[otispfudpucker]

I would go further and say after Bush,Clinton, and Bush, I dont know how we would react to having someone warm, honest astute and intelligent around.
