since when is his getting tortured as a POW a reason to trust him? i thought republicans insisted that he can't be trusted because he could have given up intel? is it illegal to reuse ads from 2000? because they really ought to.

You know this is Canada because in America this would've resulted in a ridiculous call for litigation of banning shotguns, metal detectors at putt putt courses, and that guy getting tased.


Or getting shot to death by someone else.

ffs can we impeach pelosi or something. this administration needed an impeachment about 5 years ago.

Some nice vitriol there by Yahtzee.
You know, the ad at the end for drawnbypain continues to demonstrate why I'll never watch it.
a) Because it still looks shit
&
b) Someone involved with it thinks that 'gay' is a funny word.


Those reasons are so gay.

someone needs to get some pussy like... yesterday.

Obama - "It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant"
I take pride in pointing out Snobama is an absolute fool.


Obama is a fool like McCain is young.

Your colon must think you're great fun.

Will he say "stop eating meat"???


You want me to stop eating meat to save gas? Hell no, crackpot. You stop breathing to save the air, then I'll consider not eating meat.

You want me to make sure my tires are inflated to a certain level, sure thing if it will save me a buck every fillup.

edit: And I don't think putting him in his place is irrational, and the attacks weren't against him in a bigoted nature, just over the manor of his behavior in a court of law, I think she was in her rights as a judge to put the defendant in his proper place...I would expect no less from a civil servent doing any of their varius roles and duities.

It's her court and he shat in it. She presides, she controls the process, and she has the soapbox. Disrespecting that is just begging for a lashing or as others have pointed out often worse.

He thinks because he's a law student and she plays a judge on TV that he knows more than she does, and acts accordingly.

"if he is insane then remove his head before it can infect the heads of others"

he says this with a smile.

fundamentalist trash. i wonder how he feels when muslims are killed by members of the other religions - i'll be pretty darned outraged. if they were doing it to "protect the sanity of the others" i'm sure he'd be ten times as outraged.

I had a hard time listening to the audience member talk about how the subprime mortgages were intentionally focused upon the black community.

Yeah, points for Obama on that. He sounded a little flustered when I originally heard the sound bites (on the radio), but seeing the video and the larger context makes it pretty clear that he's contending with his own supporters as he tries to respond.

Given that accusation especially, I would have said something to the effect of "if the ignorant would read their promissory notes before signing for a loan then maybe we wouldn't have a problem, and if 'the ignorant' includes blacks, then so be it." and obviously, that would have flown like a lead balloon, but it's the truth.

Obama manages to avoid calling him out and instead basically just takes his primary argument away from him politely. Nicely done.

They're on a show that is probably only being watched by weepy twats anyway so of course it doesn't matter if they were being rude holes, they can just act offended by it and a million braindead viewers yell GO GIRLFRIEND.

Wow. You can't tell what they mean by "same old politics" (ie the reason the ad exists?) or "same failed policies" (ie. the primary differences regarding iraq and afghanistan that are talked about constantly)? Do you live in a cave or are you working to be this ignorant?

I noticed you picked on the one most general idea out of a number of quite specific proposals, as if they're all vague and then you fail to see the connection between developing alternative energy and breaking dependence on foreign oil. Wow.

You failed in every regard in watching this ad. I sincerely hope the average person is smarter than you. Coz that's pretty funny, right there.

In all seriousness would it hurt Obama just to ignore McCain's smears?


Yes, it would. Smears should be answered swiftly, those that don't tend to stick. See swiftboating from 2004. It was completely false, and went unanswered, and people STILL often talk about it as if it's the truth.

This one cleverly managed to sneak a shot in (he's old!!), but mostly comes across as positive. Well done.

Obama was born in the US. Is at least 35 years of age. Technically, he qualifies. The only thing remaining is the majority of electoral votes. He's lookin' pretty damn good on that right now.

McCain voted for Bush twice and helped him with almost everything he did. Look how that turned out. Two-face could flip his coin and do better, so I think just about anyone will improve our situation as long as it's not another Bush.

I suppose QM thinks we're doing swell right now, right? Delusions.

edit: Space funding? We need to pay down our debt before spending our money on future non-essentials. Unfortunately, we don't really need to explore Mars, so we really should fix our own problems before spending that money.

Excerpt from the Obamessiah's speech:
I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
Apologizing for the USA not being perfect...to Germany. GERMANY!
Does he think Germany is one of the 57 US states?


Europe. EUROPE. He was in Germany, but Germany is in Europe. The majority of his speech was clearly directed to Europe (when it wasn't addressed to the world).

57 states! lawl i see what you did thur u r so edgy. u forgot israels best friend.

yadda yadda, iraq/pakistan border anyone? genocide in somalia anyone? president putin of germany? anbar awakening caused by the surge (which included time traveling troops!)
