McMillan warns Obama
Politico

Because life is short, I try generally to avoid irrelevant joke candidacies (particularly ones whose views have a slightly sinister tinge) in this space, but it seems worth noting that the semi-coherent Jimmy McMillan of "The Rent Is Too Damn High Party" fame is attempting to take his black-gloved act national.

He announced his campaign for the presidency on the libertarian-leaning Revolution Radio yesterday.

The tag line: "Tell Obama I'm coming after his black ass."

5. WTF is so "sinister" about McMillan's views?
True, he seems to be the poster child for political buffoonery, but I'm not sure I see anything sinister about claiming the rent is too damn high.

7. Why? Is he running as a Democrat?
Edited on Thu Dec-23-10 03:51 PM by Cleita
He wouldn't be a primary challenger if he's not running as a Democrat, just another fringe nut running in a fringe party.

9. Uh, Will? He's not a PRIMARY challenger
McMillan isn't running as a Democrat; he's running as a The Rent Is Too Damn Highnian. Obama is safe for the moment. :hi:

15. Another campaign, another nutjob...
Right up there with Sharron Angle on the brilliance scale, but less in his coffers (thankfully).
