Febreeze… the cover up of a bad stench.
Well, Hugo Chavez DID say he smelled like sulphur. :-/
The Sulphuh is *Sulphuh*.
I think he was smelling the inside of his nose.
his next job will be a deoderant tester??
I think that’s what he’s doing now
WTF?!
Curious what McCain’s presidency will be like? It’s in the picture.
I’m looking forward to it.
So, you are looking forward to Bush 2.0? Meaning, endless war against abstract concepts, a shrinking economy, massive unemployment, rampant incompetence and cronyism, a bigger Federal government, massive federal debt, corporate bailouts with taxpayer money, no bid contracts, traitorous disclosure of CIA agents, expansion of Executive powers, and destruction of the Constitution? Why not just admit you work for Al Qaeda plotting the downfall of the US? Only people who hate our country and want to see it destroyed support McCain.
Actually McCain is different from Bush.
But at least he loves America, unlike Obama who hates the country.
Really? In terms of policy or practice, what would McCain do differently than the current president?
It just makes me wonder what it is like to be think you are on top and informed yet cling to rumors and debunked myths like they were fact.
There are so many people who can form a better argument that it makes me wonder if you are just an insane troll or just insane.
Do you not get that you need something better than clinging to rumors that were incorrect months ago?
What are you talking about?
For someone who stalks every reply made to you, you sure aren’t on top of anything else. Evil, maybe. Pundit? The world you live in must be fun.
What are you trying to say?
wait .. i´m about to draw you a picture.
Quick post that emoticon on the “Looks like” page! It totally looks like John McCain!
Oh, your talking about Obama supporters. I get it.
LOL
To Seth’s remarks ~~~~~~~ AMEN !!!
Safer from terrorist attack than we have ever been since Jimmy Carter.
Funny, ’cause as i recall it was Reagan and Daddy Bush who thought that supplying a bunch of religious nuts in Afghanistan who hated the Soviets only slightly more than they hated us was a good idea, who also thought that providing materiel and diplomatic support for Saddam Hussein in his war with Iran was also a good idea and that kissing Ayatollah Khomeinei’s behind to fund an illegal proxy war in Central America was a good idea too. The people you would believe “keep us safe” are the same ones who help make the monsters that we end up with later…and before you trot out that tired crap about “blaming America first”…screw that…I’m blaming REPUBLICANS first and they are no more the literal embodiment of America than are any Democrats
Reagan and Bush Senior won the Cold War.
They kept us safe from the threat of nuclear annihilation or Communist takeover.
A proud legacy indeed.
Military spending programs initiated by Gerald Ford had more to do with ultimately bankrupting the Soviet Union than did any act undertaken by Reagan or Bush, and as it turns out, lying to Ford to prompt the massive overspending for DOD that Ford authorized may have (backhandedly) been the only positive things that Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney ever did. And funny that, for the most part, Ford managed to accomplish that without any discernible arming, funding or training of what would turn out to be virulently anti-American terrorists
You can spin it all you like, but that doesn’t change the fact that Reagan won the Cold War.
Like Bush, he was often portrayed as a moron by his contemporary enemies. They misunderestimated him.
I was there, I heard the media constantly bash Reagan as a war mongerer because he, not Ford, was building up our military. He was attacked at every turn for building up our military defenses, when all along he knew exactley what he was doing.
Then it took years for the media to admit that he “may” have had something to do with the fall of the Soviet Union.
By the way, Carter just sat there looking dumb during the entire Iran hostage crisis. It took Reagen to make something happen and get our hostages home.
Well, I have to disagree, the current war is not meaningless… ill conceived, ill managed from the top, bereft of moral leadership from the civilian “idologic managers” maybe, but not meaningless. As far as “loving” verses “not loving” the country with regards to current candidates, get real. Anyone who makes such statements quite simply hasn’t got the brainpower to realize the train has left them standing at the bus stop. Is the USA safer from terrorism since Jimmy Carter… absolutly not. America will never be safe from terrorism, the sooner we recognize that fact, the better off we we be in figuring out how to deal with it. Given the resources, dedication and determination, terrorists may strike at any time, any place, just ask Tim McVeigh… oh wait, we can’t he was executed for committing American, Conservative Terrorism.
not safe, safer
No, I must disagree with you… we are not more safe under this administration, nor are we less safe. The problem with terrorism is that the terrorists can decide when to strike. If the target is a little more alert, all they have to do is wait. The attacks of September 11, 2001 were the result of a waiting game… no specific administration caused it or allowed it to happen, despite comments to the contrary. Anyone who perpetuates that myth not only doesn’t understand how terrorists work, but continues to endanger our nation by their ignorance of reality. Additionally, terrorists strike from many directions, both within and outside of the USA, by both natural born Americans and non-natives. The problem with this President and his administration is the FALSE promise that they can keep us SAFE. It will never happen. We cannot wrap ourselves in a little bubble where we don’t get hurt, we don’t hear bad words, and our children never hear anything but Barney songs.
It’s not terrorist anymore. According to Bush2.0… er… I mean McCain
they’re called muslim extremist now.
good – lets be honest
which is HUGELY insulting. It is not only Muslim extremists that we need to worry about, it is ALL extremists – even the Christians. Look at all the wacky Christian Cults that were caught stockpiling weapons over the years. What do we really think they were planning? McVeigh is a perfect example of home grown crazy. We can’t focus on one group to the exclusion of all others.
Yes, there are a large number of Muslim Nutballs out there that are waiting for the go ahead to strike. No, Bush isn’t keeping them in line any more than anyone else would be. And I truly believe that we are building our own nemesis. All of those displaced and parentless children will grow up hating us because of this war. they will be easy pickings for terrorist recruiters.
Way more “muslim extremists” ready and willing to do violence than any other “type”. It is the madrassa schools that are producing them, some in our own country, not anything we do although they may use it as fuel they always will be unhappy with anything we do. We make mistakes but our intention is to help others, protect the innocent and promote peace. Yes, sometimes war is necessary to keep peace. So, you are saying we should NEVER go to war in case there may end up being parentless children that would do us harm in the future? It would be nice if we never had to…
ema, what makes you think that we aren’t growing our own crop of extremists right her at home? There are plenty of angry twisted people out there who are fast becoming fed up with life who are only a well publicized attack away from main stream consciousness. Look at the TN shooter – he expected to go out in a blaze of glory. How many more of those guys are out there?
scarily enough, i believe we are. what should we do about it?
For starters, not elect someone who will continue the current administrations policy of gutting the middle class. People by and large could care less about foreign extremeists when they are facing foreclosure or job loss. The personal is political – which guy is going to turn this sinking economic ship back to safe harbor?
Well, people do care about foreign extremeists when they are attacked by them in their own country, and if you think the economy is suffering now imagine if we were attacked again – confidence in the stock market will plummet, peoples 401k retirement plans will fail, oil prices will soar. We need to reduce our dependance on foreign oil now, hopefully by a combination of drilling and other means.
You know, I’m sure Obama is a nice man, but we need a strong military now, not a rock star who can go around making nice nice with everyone. We also need a comprehensive energy plan, something that includes drilling on our land – the Russians are doing it, the Cuban’s are drilling close to our Florida coast or are at least planning it. McCain is not perfect, I just have more confidence in him and I’m afraid Obama will be percieved as weak.
it has been 7 years … I am not saying “get over it” because we should never forget the tragedy of loss that has effected so many in our country. The thing is we are not alone in having attacks on our soil. We didn’t give a shit until it was us. Or maybe we did but we soon forgot.
We expect the world to mourn with us 7 years later as we carry on with a war that no longer can be called justified. McCain expects us to put him in office so he can carry on with this war that is opposed by the majority of Americans. McCain expects us to sit back and be “OK” when he raises the taxes of the middle class and leaves the wealthy alone in order to bail out Social Security.
Obama wants to raise taxes on income OVER a quarter of a MILLION dollars a year. That won’t gut the middle class, middle class is not 250k a year…. unless you think like McCain.
He expects us to sit back and watch his negative ads that say nothing about his positives and everything about how he is not treated fairly – like a freaking CRYBABY – but then he attacks the Christian faith – another Messiah? The One??? Those words are chosen to belittle Christians and to make Obama look like the AntiChrist. They tried that on Gore too you know. And there was a breif time during Kerry Edwards that the gossip lines were tingling about electing them=end of days.
You people need to grow up, grow a pair and start playing fair. You want to be seen as tough on war and tough on crime then quit whining about celebrities and that bullshit and start talking about issues in those ads.
Freeking fear mongering babies.
7 years and not another attack in our country
I’m so sick of the “rock star” description of Obama. Honestly, I like neither candidate, but Obama is as big a “rock star” as my right tit is. Settling for the lesser evil, however, I will be voting for Obama.
Both Obama and McCain are scary, but I’m willing to take a chance instead of going with more of what we’ve been put through for 8 years.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.
But Obama is a rock star.
All hype and no substance.
You hate hearing about it because it’s true.
Good job, sweetie. Have have a cookie.
I think the US possibly has a multi-megaton nuclear device posited in, under, or around a place of significant meaning to Islam. I don’t think they’d ever use it, if it could exist, but it would be enough to shut me up if I were planning on doing something crazy to America…
Terrorize an entire religion in order to stop a relatively SMALL % of them? Yeah, that would make me proud!
For those insular folk around here – Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.
All religions are wack jobs. Nuke ‘em all.
Well, that is your opinion, we can go back and forth on that I believe we are safer and that a strong administration that is not afraid to strike back is a contributing factor to that. The terrorists we are dealing with respect strength and will take advantage of perceived weaknesses. If they believe we have lost our resolve they, which is what they want, they will begin to attack us again.
I agree. And a lot of Americans agree as well. I shudder to think where we would be right now if Gore had won in 2000.
certainly not prosecuting a war in Iraq constructed on a foundation of lies and manufactuered evidence.
manufactured, sorry.
“ill-conceived, ill-managed”…You forgot ILLEGAL.
Speaking of going to war against abstract concepts…
What’s abstract about any of that?
well put!!
Dude, don’t stoop to their level.
I hope you have your tires filled up with oil.
Is that Obama’s latest plan to solve the gas price crisis?
Wow, why am I not surprised you aren’t even remotely close to current events?
Fine, dinosaurs, not looking so great, does that about sum up where you left off?
p.s. That means it was McCaine. Not everyone who agrees with you suckles at the teet are Obama. There does exist a large demographic that think you are an idiot regardless.
Que?
Sorry, I thought you lived in the world of America on Planet USA, where english is the native tongue. Apparently you truly can’t understand criticism and logic. Makes sense. Stop giving ignorant morons a bad name.
Your words make no sense.
He’s the hired help, stop picking on him.
Talking about dinosaurs and McCain in the same post=WIN!
Hey why don’t they call this site what it was meant to be….Put Up Pictures of Bush and Let Pissy Liberals Makes Jokes At His Expense? And anybody else with an opinion can suck it!!
Wait that would make it different from other websites how?
bushisdumb.com
Now…I have mixed opinions of both these men and their policies (some good, some not as good), but this is what I would consider a cute picture (bordering on endearing) with a caption that perfectly matches the expression. Why does every joke with Bush in it have to be “at his expense”? I think he might have gotten a laugh out of it himself.
Yea, it’s not actually that bad at all…
I envision the cat faceplanted into the ground. ^_^
?
well, what’s your opinion? honestly, I need to hear why there are Bush and McCain supporters out there, I really do. Help me understand. We’re in an economic tailspin, we’re losing a generation of brave and honorable soldiers either to the war or to zero support upon their return, our school systems are floundering after being screwed with for six or so years by NCLB, we’re considered an impotent democracy overseas, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I’m not pissy, I don’t mind taking off my shoes at the airport, I do it willingly and I’m grateful to the folks who work security, but help me understand what is so alluring/satisfying/soothing about an action-replay with GI McCain? I’m not being facetious, or snide.
No one is going to explain anything who views politics as a religion. You state opinions as fact. You state beliefs as fact. That is what religious people do. And no one is going to waste their time explaining political facts to someone who has chosen to believe something based on it making them feel good. So, on voting day, go worship your liberal god and maybe he will be nice to you. But I would not get my hopes up. In spite of your protestations to the contrary, you are pissy and being snide. I think your summary of the US shows a serious lack of political sophistication.
How is anything that ctriesc said “belief”? To you, maybe, who wants to continue to “believe” that this administration has NOT done those things, sure. Otherwise, YOU are the one living in fantasyland. Talk about pissy and snide….have you looked in a mirror?
Interesting to see how the Bush supporters in the past couple comment threads are attempting to side step criticism by deliberately misunderstanding the points being made against their idols. Run out of ammo, guys? Left throwing rocks? There will be plenty of bricks left over from all the stores closing up across the country.
The US economy grew 1.9% last quarter.
The only recession is the one in your mind, from believing the liberal media spin.
ha! solid facts
Economy grows by only 0.6 percent in 1st quarter of 2008
Apr 30 11:52 AM US/Eastern
By JEANNINE AVERSA
AP Economics Writer
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The economy, boosted by $90 billion in stimulus checks, grew at a faster pace in the spring but not as strongly as expected, the government reported Thursday.
The Commerce Department also lowered its readings on growth in the two previous quarters, resulting in the first contraction in the economy since the 2001 recession. The report is likely to spur further debate over whether the economy has fallen into a recession.
The gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the nation’s economic activity, grew at an annual rate of 1.9% in the three months ended in June. That’s up from a revised 0.9% growth rate in the first quarter.
Still, the reading was weaker than expected, as economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast growth of 2.3%.
The first-quarter reading was revised lower from a 1% growth estimate a month ago.
The Commerce Department revised the fourth-quarter 2007 reading to a decline of 0.2%. The previous fourth-quarter reading was 0.6% growth.
More Arrows Seen Pointing to a Recession
By PETER S. GOODMAN
Published: August 1, 2008
The American economy expanded more slowly than expected from April to June, the government reported Thursday, while numbers for the last three months of 2007 were revised downward to show a contraction — the first official slide backward since the last recession in 2001.
Mmm, liberal media spin.
The media reporting facts released by the government qualifies as spin?
Just curious, does this qualify as spin as well “The unemployment rate rose to 5.7 percent, and nonfarm payroll employment
continued to trend down in July (-51,000), the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Employment continued to fall in
construction, manufacturing, and several service-providing industries, while
health care and mining continued to add jobs. Average hourly earnings rose by
6 cents, or 0.3 percent, over the month.”
I agree the media slants a lot of what they report one way or the other. But at some point, you have to recognize the facts in this slanted reports.
There are facts mixed in, but the overall slant of the stories has been to make them less favourable for the administration.
The definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. There hasn’t even been one quarter of negative growth yet, but the MSM are talking the economy down.
And while unemployment has risen slightly, it fell significantly during Bush’s term. But that wasn’t given the same coverage.
AP and the like are mostly staffed by Democrat supporters, and they form the news to promote their political agenda. It’s best to assume they’re lying unless it can be proven otherwise.
The last quote was directly from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, not the media by the way. As for the unemployment rate, while its true that has fallen during the Bush era, that statement carries a major conservative slant to it. It also ROSE significantly during Bush’s term, and overall has not returned to the levels it was at when he took office. In fact, Clinton is the ONLY president in the past 36 years that they have been recording the data to have the unemployment rate trend down the entire time he was in office. As for the AP staffing, thats an base stereotype with no real grounding. YES, the media shapes the news to promote their own agendas, but not all MSM aside from Fox News is left-leaning.
I’m afraid you’re wrong there. Most of the mainstream media are distinctly left-leaning. Journalists support Democrats over Republicand by a ratio of 10 to 1 or more.
There have even been academic studies that confirm the bias.
As long as you have a basis for your claims, thats fine with me. Like I said, journalists all have some bias, and many use it to influence policy. It just seems to me that people like to claim they are more liberal than they are.

A shop keeper makes change in Montpelier, Vt., Thursday, July 31, 2008. The country didn’t get the energetic rebound in economic growth hoped for from the government’s tax rebates in the second quarter, and the economy jolted into reverse at the end of 2007, raising new recession fears. Ramon Pichardo waits to take the subway home after appying for unemployment benefits with the New York State Department of Labor on Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Pichardo recently lost his job as a cook. An unexpected jump in weekly unemployment claims reported Thursday by the Labor Dept. stirred concern about the health of the nation’s businesses and consumers. Stephanie Simon, an employee of Target, works on the back to school display, Tuesday, July 29, 2008, in Tallahassee, Fla. The nation’s retailers are entering the critical back-to-school season, the most important period behind the holiday season. However, economists _ who closely monitor sentiment since consumer spending represents about two-thirds of all economic activity _ didn’t interpret the slight uptick as a beginning of a rebound in shoppers’ mood.
Wall Street expects a Labor Department report today will show the economy shed jobs for the seventh straight month in July. Economists polled by Thomson/IFR predict that payrolls shrank by around 72,000, beyond the 62,000 positions eliminated in June. So far this year, the economy has lost about 438,000 jobs.
The Labor Department releases July employment numbers today, a day after news that the economy grew at a lower-than expected pace in the second quarter. The unemployment rate is expected to have risen to 5.6 percent from 5.5 percent, and could rise more as the lack of credit stunts businesses’ expansion plans.
The employment report, often regarded as the most important economic reading on Wall Street, gives investors insights into the health of the consumer. People who have lost their jobs or are worried about being out of work are likely to spend less, a disturbing prospect for investors as consumer spending accounts for more than 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.
Thank you for that word from the media branch of the Democratic Party.
What is this? Cut and paste day?
Why retype what is already right?
Cool, I’ll just cut and paste pages and pages of text from my favourite propaganda sites too.
Where’s Goebbels when you need him, right ?
WAHAAAHHH!!!
Mean Liberals picking on us!!!!
Grow up.

Getting an obsequious hug from the guy your campaign slimed and otherwise shat all over in the SC Primary in 2000: priceless
(Karl Rove and his staff used a “push poll” through Bob Jones Univ. leading in to the SC Primary to suggest that McCain’s adopted Bangladeshi daughter was actually a child McCain fathered with a black woman…and McCain took it lying down then and subsequently avoided challenging him in 2004 when he could have done some good because being a good lapdog is the Maverick thing to do)
ahhhh….. the old South Carolina myth… been a while since that one surfaced.
Myth? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You are funny!
Google Bridget McCain 2000. Should we send this one in to mythbusters?
your right, it’s not a myth, more like a smear campaign
That Rove used against McCain.
But McCain Hired Rove’s people to smear Obama … Hypocrisy thy name is Republican
Hypocrisy they name is Politics
These are exactly my thoughts on seeing this picture. For all the world, it looks to me like McCain is thinking, “Please Daddy, don’t beat me no more. I’ll be good, just like you want.”
This is exactly why/when I lost all respect for McCain. If he wouldn’t stand up for his OWN family, how will he stand up for anyone else’s family? He may have been highly pissed off about it according to a TIME article from a couple weeks back, but he sure seems to have decided to take it up the ass – even as far as hiring the SAME PEOPLE to run his campaign!! Maverick, hell.
lol mccain is old
And here we get to the bottom of every McCain joke from the present, to the future, to his first appointment to Congress in 1982 (I’m sure even then some people thought the 46 year old McCain was old).
AND Bush is dumb!
And, Clinton is a horndog! (See, I can laugh at my own!)
That wrinkly old white haired dude nominated that Paris Hilton is groping all up on W!!
I’ve been looking around reading comments on pictures I thought were just funny..
And I noticed the comments stop when there isn’t a fight!
What ever happened to just having fun!?
But anyway..
It looks like McCain is thinking “Mmmm, you smell like mommy..”
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that flame.
McCain certainly looks more comfortable hugging on GB than when he was holding hands with the Dalai Lama!
Looks like Bush is going to get his Christmas Goose a little early …
who do you vote for when two idiots are running for president…
RON PAUL BABY!!!!
No, you pick the lest repugnant choice and vote for them in order to keep the other one out of the oval office.
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for futility at this stage. Maybe a day will come when a 3rd party candidate has a chance but it isn’t happening yet.
You know, I disagree with just about everything Ron Paul wants to do, but I have to give him credit: I truly believe he has integrity, intelligence, and the ability to reason with people he doesn’t agree with. I’m voting Obama, but if he didn’t win, I’d rather be a member of Ron Paul’s Loyal Opposition than suffer under McCain.
wow, he looks REALLY happy!!!! o.O
McCain deserves the cracks he gets about his age for actually having been enough of a crotchwaffle during one of his Congressional campaigns to refer to the retirement community Leisure World as “Seizure World.” As an AZ native (unlike that carpetbagging joke) i have been witness to what an opportunistic douche the man is since i was old enough to be politically aware. Now that he’s the one on the receiving end of the old age jokes i’ll bet he doesn’t find that sort of thing quite as cute anymore
Well then you will forgive my making jokes about the fact that you are an overal douche. Soon you will regret ever making fun of douches.
Except i have never actually denied being a douche, you colon polyp.
so… where I, as a douche, have been known to alleviate that “not so fresh feeling” all you’ll ever be is a lumpy pain in the arse
We are once again faced with a choice between 2 nominees (the third a wasted vote unfortunately) and the next president is once again chosen for us by the electoral college. McCain is a puppy of the GOP, see picture above, and Obama is an unproven candidate with more rhetoric than Bill Clinton. McCain offers four more years of the current administration and Obama offers empty promises and the ability to spin a good yarn. The Old and the redneck are for McCain. The too young to have a real grasp on life but can vote are for Obama. Where does that leave the rest of us who are between 30 and 50 and want a viable choice for president….wanting that’s where.
I’ve said for years, one party is Pure Evil, the other is clueless and rudderless…
If those are my choices, I’ll take clueless any day.
Anyone know the parable of King Log and King Stork?
Hold on one second. I am sick and tired of the snotty attitude that just because someone is young they automatically don’t know anything. There is a book called Long Way Gone and it’s written by a former child soldier in Africa. I don’t believe that this man is even 30 yet and I bet he has a better grasp on life then most pampered american 50 year olds. You can’t discount an entire group of people based on assumptions. We call that stereotyping and the reason we try not to do it is because it never takes into account humanity’s inherent individuality. I think you are the one who needs to have a few more life experiences before you get a better grasp on life.
However, Obama has no experience. He’s had everything handed to him on a plate his whole life.
We don’t need an Affirmative Action president.
Srsly EP? Come on, I wasn’t even talking about EITHER candidate, I was making a point about discrimination based on age, which you as a McCain supporter should agree with! Why don’t you give it a rest for once?
EP. when it comes to unqualified and inexperienced, I believe you’re talking about the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (failed in every business venture his daddy and his cronies set up for him, avoided travel and had no practical basis of his own for his foreign policy). and your suggestion that Obama has had everything handed to him on a silver platter is a dose of irony which ultimately means you’ve been huffing the talk radio fumes for perhaps a little too long.
On top of that, the way you throw in the phrase “Affirmative Action President”, could you be blowing that old dog whistle any harder? Quit playing at civility and just throw out one of the more obvious epithets you’re biting back from the tip of your tongue…we can almost smell from here just how badly you want to…
Besides, Reverse Ace McCain (personally destroyed 5 or more US aircraft) only got his spot in the Naval Academy because his daddy was an Admiral…but then, hey I guess actually having life handed to you on a plate is only OK if you’re a Republican scion, right?
If Obama was white, he’d never even have got close to nomination. He has no experience and no qualifications for the job at all.
It’s only the racist affirmative action mentality of the Democratic Party that has put him in this position.
Again. i counter, being inexperienced and unqualified (on top of incompetent and inarticulate) did not hurt the Connecticut Pseudo-Cowboy any, so assuming that what you say was based on anything more than the gibberings of the right-wing blogosphere and the finely honed echo-chamber of ass-clownery that is talk radio, what is your point, precisely. McCain can’t differentiate Shi’ite from Shinola, thinks that Sunni al Qaeda is working out of Shi’ite Iran, and apparently needs Joe f’ing Lieberman to know where his bearings are, so unless you’ve got something better than cheap, recycled wingnut talking points, your argument rings as empty as W’s head.
Obama thinks there are 57 states. He’s an idiot whenever he opens his mouth without a teleprompter.
Your Obamessiah is an empty suit, as will rapidly become apparent the more exposure he gets.
the 57 States goof, again? is that all you’ve got? McCain seems totally befuddled most of the time whether he’s talking energy policy or foreign policy, and truthfully, i’m actually still not totally sold on Obama, but regard him as a better prospect than anybody the GOP dredged up from the depths
Edwards was my first choice followed by Hillary and then maybe Obama at the outset, but as that field narrowed, it became easier to support Obama over Hillary. If he does or says something i find exceptionally off-putting, i could pull the lever for Barr, but that would be a stretch.
As I said, Obama is an idiot whenever he steps away from a teleprompter. He just tells lies, such as the one about being on the Senate Banking Committee, or he dribbles idiocy like inflating your tires will end the gas crisis.
In just a few short months, Obama has racked up an impressive array of gaffes. My name is linked to a handy collection of them.
Actually, what he said about tire inflation is true. He basically said that making sure your tires are properly inflated will save gas (it does, so does using nitrogen to inflate your tires), and that it adds up. If you check the link in my name, the GAO estimates that tire under-inflation wastes about 1.2 billion gallons of of gasoline a year, and that DoE estimates that offshore drilling would produce about 1.4 billions gallons of gasoline a year (after a number of years). So, he really wasn’t that far off, and his claim isn’t as far fetched as you are making it out to be. Your comments would be an example of that slant you are always decrying.
Hmm, I might have to concede the tire point.
There are plenty of other Obama gaffes though.
There certainly are. That’s actually one of the few reasons I can stomach modern politics anymore. Its like one great big comedy.
how ’bout that Iraq-Pakistan border McCain is concerned about?

The minute I lost what little respect I had left for McCain’s integrity was a few weeks ago when he was in Pittsburgh and showed himself to be either senile or a liar. When being interviewed by KDKA TV, McCain professed that he would offer up the names of the Steelers defensive line as his squadron mates when interrogated as a POW. He also said “I was a mediocre high school athlete but I loved and adored the sports but the Steelers really made a huge impression on me particularly in my early years.” HOWEVER, there are a few holes in this story. First off, the Steelers sucked prior to 1972 for most of their history, and had few notable players, and no notable defensive linemen, so it is unlikely that they were that recognizable or influential at the time. More importantly, in his own 1999 Memoirs, McCain himself says it was the Green Bay PACKERS that he would recite the names of (a far more likely scenario given the times). They even made a movie out of it. So, he was either lying to pander to the Democratic leaning people of Pittsburgh, or Senile and just plain forgot. Which is it, and which is worse?
I think Obama’s lie about being on the Senate Banking Committee was much worse.
In Israel, Obama said:
“You don’t just have to look at a portion of my words. You can look at my deeds. Uh, just this past — uh, this past week we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee — which is my committee — a bill to, uh, call for divestment from Iran as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t, uh, obtain a nuclear weapon.”
But he’s never been on that committee. It’s just a plain, casual lie that’s so blatant as to defy belief. What sort of arrogance makes a man think he can get away with that?
Sadly, the mainstream media did let him get away with it. Obama’s campaign team includes the New York Times and MSNBC.
I never meant to imply Obama doesn’t lie. (For the record, he was trying to refer to the fact that he inserted some provisions into the bill that had been passed, and in the process, puffed up his own importance). But, this LOL is about McCain, so I commented on him. personally, I think lying is part of the job of being President (thought you have to be a little better at it than these two guys). I merely said I don’t think McCain has any integrity. I happen to think that Obama is an inexperienced opportunist with zero foreign policy experience. I also think that the fact that he is newer to the system may not be an entirely bad thing. I liked McCain better when he stood up for his beliefs rather than kowtowing to the party line to gain support. I also get sick of the Media treatment of Obama, and think they were largely responsible for the outcome of the primaries. Say what you want about Hillary, at least she’s been around and understands how things work.
By the way, while looking for that quote, I happened to see that CNN did call him out on it, at least on their website.
I lost any respect i might have had for him after the Keating Five fiasco, and actively began to dislike him after he pulled the chicken-s**t maneuver of having some Congressman from Idaho sandbag the de-facto Governor of AZ with insanely technical questions about the Central Arizona Project during a protocol visit to DC that even project experts would have needed time to prepare for only eight days after she assumed office following the elected Governor’s impeachment. For someone who likes to play hardball when it suits him, he has a tendency to be a thin-skinned, grumpy little b**ch when he’s on the receiving end of it.
Well Jane we are not discussing 30 year old former African Child Solders. My Comments were directed toward the youth included in the voting pool of this country. You know the twenty something college grads who still live with mommy and daddy waiting for someone to hand them a six figure salary because they have a diploma. Your choice of argument is ridiculous. I would not discount the maturity of one who grew up in such an environment. I would however stand by my argument that Obama is simply pumping Gen Y full of false hopes and empty rhetoric to secure their vote. I also feel McCain is playing on the fear of change that exists with the older generation to secure theirs. These are the choices we are given, one who won’t remember his name in two years and the other whom spent many years listening to racism disguised in Sunday mass.
No president, without the support of citizens, is worth a damn. It is the actions of citizens (or the inaction of the same) that will determine our lives and our children’s futures; by striving to be open-minded and fair, by striving to look at all sides of issues, to try to not let pre-conceptions cloud our judgments, we will become the Great USA once more. But by the same token, if we leave everything up to whoever wins the most votes, we are only hurting ourselves by letting them do what they want.
More on topic: LOL Febreeze. I’m loving the man-crush between these two.
