Disgruntled Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson participated, for the first time this off-season, in a full team practice.
Maybe that means Johnson is starting to accept the fact that he signed a contract with the Bengals and he's going to have to abide by it. Or maybe it means nothing at all. After all, the only thing Johnson would say to reporters afterward is "Vote for Obama."
Ordinarily I'd say picking up the endorsement of a high-profile athlete in what might be the most important swing state would have to be a major coup for Barack Obama. But considering how many Cincinnati fans Johnson has alienated recently, John McCain might be pleased to hear this news.
So how did Johnson look on the field? "He's rusty," offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski said of Johnson. "I told him he looked rusty. Nobody likes to hear that. He's going against guys who have been out here for 14, 16 practices, you know. You're going to look that way."

Thanks Chad! For once, you did something that meets my approval. Your endorsement to put that Muslim in the White House will no doubt further alienate voters that are on the fence. And the reason??? You such an outstanding person full of character and integrity and America values your opinion.......NOT!!!

Get YOUR facts straight. Obama's conversion to Christianity is a political charade. How can anybody be so naive and gullible to believe that a person who has Rev Wright as a spiritual mentor for 20 years is calling himself a Christian??? And then he FINALLY denounces Rev Wright teachings because of political pressure to win the presidency. What a two-faced liar. Give me a break! I don't hate Obama. In fact, I think he's smooth, has a lot of charisma and his speeches are powerful. Those are good qualities to have if you want to become President of this country. He just needs to admit to America what he really is.......
Again, thanks Chad for your endorsement of the Muslim!

Since when did Muslim become an insult? Last time I checked America supports the freedom to practice any religion you so choose.
Barack Obama did not "convert" to Christianity and it has been stated many times even by his own opposition that he is in fact a Christian.
The hatred in this country towards the Muslim belief needs to stop, how would you feel if someone hated you for your religion and called someone a Christian as a slur?
And for the record I am Athiest but respect everyone's beliefs.

Hey Shelbz,
So who said anything about hating Muslims??? You are so typical of many Obama supporters (even though YOU may not be) who want to sterotype anyone that opposes Obama as a hater of the Muslim religion. And who said I was a Christian??? There you go again "assuming" and you know what happens when you "assume"......HA!
Anybody who thinks Muslim is an insult must be dealing with their own insecurities towards the Muslim religion. I have real good Muslim friends along with many other religions and nationalites. It's what this country was founded on and I love it! Why is it that any time anybody challenges Obama on anything, they are called racist and a hater. I don't hate the Muslim religion or hate the guy. I just wish he would tell the truth. He even bailed on his own personal spiritual mentor in the face of public opinion and public scrunity in an effort to try to win an election. Obviously his religion, whatever that is, really means nothing to him. That tells a lot about his character, integrity and the ability to tell the truth. Again, I just wish the guy would admit to what he really is.....
PS: Thanks for your help Chad!
