Major Barack Hussein Obama US Army: Circa December 1864

In Springfield, Missouri Senator “Mental Case” Obama invoked the name of a distant cousin, Wild Bill Hickok, and suggested that he and John McCain forget about debating one another and just strap on some six-shooters and meet at 60 paces.

“If Senator McCain wants a debate about taxes in this campaign, I’m ready,” he told the audience. “Wild Bill Hickok had his first duel in the town square here. And the family legend is that he is a distant cousin of mine.”

Seeing the eyebrows raise on members of the audience, he quickly added: “I’m serious, I’m serious. This is part of the family legend. I don’t know if it’s true, but I’m going to research it.”

“I’m ready to duel John McCain on taxes,” Mr. Obama said, smiling broadly. “Quick draw.”

I don’t think it’s necessary for me to editorialize this story anymore than I did in my first sentence above. You be the judge. This guy is a major candidate for shock therapy…the sooner the better!
