And we’re supposed to care about an election cycle that’s been going on for a year already? It’s not easy, in August, to care about much of anything except a big bowl of ice cream.
But when Obama finally whips out the race card, and says in response to being compared to Britney Spears:
McCain was trying to scare voters away from him by pointing out he had “a funny name, and he doesn’t look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills.”
If Obama doesn’t like being compared to other celebs, why did he draw on Hollywood for inspiration??
“Our politics is small when we need to be thinking big,” he said. “The times are serious. It calls for serious people.”
2:23 in, if you’d like to fast forward.
Priceless!!
I love it! And this morning on the “Today” show, a member from Obama’s campaign said he’s NOT playing the race card, McCain did it first AND that he’s just responding to it.
Um, where did I miss McCain saying, that Obama’s “got a funny name” and you know “doesn’t look like any previous president who is on a dollar bill”. Did I fall down a hole and miss something?!
Let’s call a spade a spade. Here’s a news flash…Obama is young, no military experience, limited Washington experience (take that as good or bad), he’s bi-racial (that means his Mom is white and his Dad is black) and his wife is a lawyer. (Hm, bit of deja vu there.)
McCain is a former POW, long Washington history (take that as good or bad), old, white and his arms don’t work right, he’s got a younger (STINKING RICH) 2nd wife and 4 kids.
Now, everything is on the table. Let’s cut the bullshit and get down to apples and oranges. Don’t try to date me, or suave me, tell me facts.
It’s like the airlines charging for luggage, handling fee’s, food and drinks. Bullshit. Just raise your prices, be honest and up front about it and let’s move on with our lives. I’ve got things to do and this just makes me want to buy a hatchet.
