Slog - Comments on Maya Gets a Warm Welcome http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/maya_gets_a_warm_welcome Maya Soetoro-Ng, Barack Obama's half-sister, just addressed the convention. She seemed very real, after a parade of politicians and union bigwigs. Surprisingly calm and composed. She didn't say much, really, but she got very warm applause from the delegates. I'm surprised the campaign hasn't tried to use her more often. Jesse Jackson, Jr. is now talking about Illinois, Illinois, Illinois, trying to emphasize Obama's connection to all of his adopted state, not just Chicago....

Cornball Surprisingly calm and composed??? You're "surprised they didn't use her more"???

Girl, she was like a human version of Valium. Dilaudid throws a louder party than that chick.

Plus that name is poison is you're already dealing with an "un-American problem."

That's interesting as I just came across this story regarding his half-brother living in Kenya:

I doubt George Obama would be of much help to the campaign.
