I'm not worthy - I'm just a dumbass

Some people like to play poker online -- but that's illegal -- because -- I don't know -- some religious or nebulous "it's bad for society" thing probably.

Nevermind that though -- if you're a big time politician -- with lobbyists who want to give you money. Suddenly, it's not so bad anymore -- matter of fact, it's a good ol' time.

But YOU? -- you just keep your mouth shut over there, jackass -- and WE'LL be telling YOU what to do.

Good lord this government has gotten SOOOOO out of control ... it's just stupid now.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Barack Obama's triumph in the 2004 U.S. Senate race earned him a memorable send-off from his friends in the Illinois legislature - they emptied his wallet in a take-no-prisoners night of poker.

"We brought him down to earth real quick," said state Sen. Terry Link, chuckling at the memory.

Obama was a regular at the low-stakes games - sometimes stud poker, sometimes draw - designed to break up the tedium of long legislative sessions. Poker, beer and cigars were staples; Democrats and Republicans, lawmakers and even the lobbyists who Obama sometimes rails against dealt the cards and placed their bets.
