Wait, wait, wait. Now Robert De Niro is for hope, too? This is really getting surreal. De Niro, the dean of "Goodfellas" thuggery, just made a surprise appearance at a rally here for Barack Obama, using words that we didn't know were even in his vocabulary.

"I've never made a speech like this at a political event before. So what am I doing here?" De Niro said. "I'm here because finally one person has inspired me. One person has given me hope. One person has made me believe that we can make a change." Pretty florid words from a guy who's whacked more than a few wise guys in his long career, don't you think?

Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? Yes, I am Mr. De Niro. I am also listening. We will "change" things on Super Tuesday, just like the Giants changed things to upset the Patriots perfect season. Hillary thought it was going to be a perfect campaign, but then somebody named Barack Obama came into the picture. And HE didn't vote for the Iraq war resolution and still not accept responsibility for that vote like Hillary does. Obama was ALWAYS against the war. Also, Obama didn't vote yes for the Kyl/LIEberman bill about Iran like Hillary did recently. The NIE reprt really made Dumbya Bu$h, Hillary and all the YES voters look like idiots. How many more mistakes will Hillary make when she goes into the White House on DAY ONE? Well, I'm not giving her the chance, along with all of her Corporate America lobbyist money. I'm taking a CHANCE on Obama, for CHANGE.

Hey Bobby...
'I've been Watching you' since the Deer Hunter - you are a Classic. You were locker worthy when I was in HS (won't mention how long ago for both our sakes) Still Love ya!!!

Vote for O'bama or De Niro will stomp your ass like he did to Billy Batts in Goodfellas.

Does this match up with Obama's 'kneecapping' comments? Don't fear the reefer, ok, but we've already GOT mobsters in government...

The Chicago Mafia supports him and now the Pseudo-Mafia does.

Who will join in next? Frank Sinatra!

I'm not a Clinton supporter (I voted for Edwards in Florida) but can this site be anymore Pro-Obama? I didn't expect the huffingtonpost to be so biased in it's coverage like the rest of the MSM. I'm waiting for Arianna to come out and endorse Obama already.
