It's probably because Tina Fey didn't dress up like Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live.

That's definitely a beautiful family. I always like the expression Barack has when he's with his wife. He has a huge smile on his face and it's like he's saying, "Yeah, this is MY wife."

I don't have the impression that you don't support Obama. I read that you said you supported him. I just said that he specifically said that he wouldn't get it done in 4 years, which Americans don't expect. I get the impression that you don't think I know what the person I voted for plans to do and what his limits are.

I know, I noticed at the debate that they are both left-handed.

He doesn't expect to. He specifically said that in his acceptance speech. We're aware. Anyway, not only am I excited that Obama won, but INDIANA voted democratic for the first time since 1964. My vote counted!

I got it, Sarie. It was funny. I didn't even think it was racist at all...even with the afro part. His name does sound like broccoli. And how can't you get the rhyme? Broccoli, Barackoli. They sound alike except one has an extra syllable. If you didn't get the joke then just let it go.

I'd contribute to that fund. I think it'll be okay if McCain wins, but nothing had better happen to him the next 4 years.

By the way, did anyone see Obama on The Daily Show? It was really funny. John Stewart asked him about the Bradley affect, which is when white people say publicly that they'll vote for a black man but when actually at the polls they'll vote white. So John said since Obama is half white will that white half take over and make Obama vote for McCain. That was probably the funniest part. They also said it's the highest rated Daily Show episode ever. The second highest being when Michelle Obama was on. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/oct/31/ustelevision-barackobama

Oh, I didn't know if there was a particularly reason why everyone would be happier with McCain. I'm honestly surprised that the Neo Nazis had enough guts to even plot against Obama, they normally are too chicken to do even that. They're mostly all talk. I mean they've been around since after WWII and you don't hear too much about what they do. The threats don't surprise me and they probably don't surprise Obama. He's under the best protection. He'll be fine. People wouldn't bother assassinating McCain because they figure he'll die anyway. It sounds crude, but I think it's true.

It does sound like socialism. And yes, socialism always sounds better on paper. However, I still can't get over this whole bail out thing. The government will pay the CEO's of huge companies that fail millions of dollars while the small business owner can fail and you know what? That's just too darn bad for him. Why would everyone benefit from John McCain and not from Barack Obama? I don't have a problem with the black/white issue. If they don't want to vote for Barack solely based on his skin color well then nothing I can say will change it. The same for people not voting for John McCain because of his age. However, I can still wish to myself that it wouldn't be such a big deal that Barack is (half) black and that John McCain is as old as he is. There have been a lot (and will be more) of plots to kill Barack. Just wait if he gets the presidency, there'll be a ton more. Some will be based on his race, but I think the majority will just be because he's president and all presidents have threats against them. That's why they have the Secret Service. I really don't like the whole "tables turned" thing. So what if Palin's daughter is pregnant? So what if all of her kids were on stage with her? So what if McCain finished in the bottom of his class? He served his country and has been in the Senate since '86. That's a whole lot more experience than Barack. John McCain was also cleared of all charges against him in the Keating Five case. It happened in '89. I don't care much about what he did back then. I'm sure he's smart enough to have learned from those mistakes. Good for Barack and Michelle for being lawyers. Good for Barack being the president of the Harvard Law Review. However, I doubt that if he's president, Barack will ever say, well based on what I learned being the president of the Harvard Law Review... Pointing these types of things out and saying "what if the tables were turned?" is a bit racism in itself, in my opinion.

He really is a plumber who is from Ohio that Obama met while campaigning, like Sarie said. He confronted Obama on his tax plan; they got the whole thing on video. He was planning on buying a business but the business makes over $250,000 a year which is the amount at which Obama will start his tax increase. He also said if Obama supports the American Dream then why will he increase taxes on small businesses. At the debate Obama said that 98% of small businesses don't make over $250,000 therefore will be exempt from the tax increase. Believe it or not, that number is pretty accurate. You never know when politicians throw out statistics. So Joe is actually better off than the majority of small business owners. Joe also wanted to know why he should all of a sudden start getting taxed after working hard for so many years. Obama said that he wanted to help the people below Joe get a chance at success like Joe did. He said in order to make up for the tax cuts for people who make less money, he's going to start taxing people who earn more to make up for the cuts. Thus the talk that Obama is a socialist. And now it's this huge deal because both candidates talked about Joe the Plumber at the debate more than anything else. McCain brought it up and said that he will help Joe buy his business and then Obama defended his tax plan.

I'm still getting the feeling that he looks like someone but I still can't figure it out. Maybe it's because it looks like he's channeling Wolverine with the haircut. This bugs me so much! I can't figure it out!

Oh I read that...that's from IMDB, right? That same girl also got to meet Brad Pitt who I think would be quite hard to meet.

Wow he looks really good...and not like a bum! His eyes are pretty too.

I've heard the Obama getting assassinated theory so many times. And he should have just picked Hilary in the first place. They would have been a shoe-in I think. I'm just guessing Obama was afraid Hilary would try to do too much. But no doubt about the race war and Holocaust.

I love this picture. I think Rob looks really, really, good in it, and his expression is funny. It just keeps bugging me that he reminds me of someone in this picture and I can't figure it out. I've been staring at it for the longest time (not necessarily a bad thing) but I don't know who he looks like. And Jackson doesn't look like he wants to be there.

That was a pity laugh, wasn't it? My cousin's boyfriend wears Sarah Palin glasses. He's a bit on the feminine side.

It was a (bad) joke.

I kinda want to go as one of those clever costumes, like Holy Sh it where you dress up like poop and wear a halo. Or Deviled Egg. My brother said a girl showed up to class last year dressed up as an egg with horns and a pitchfork thingy. Then he saw two guys riding on a tandem bike to class and one was wearing a banana costume and one was wearing a gorilla costume.

Agreed. It seemed like McCain laughed and shook his head a lot and Obama kept cutting in and putting his finger up as if he wasn't going to get a chance to speak. Both were incredibly annoying. I was even thinking to myself when Obama would cut in, "Let him finish." It's not like they both got 2 minutes to address each issue or anything like that... Jim, I understood because Jim Lehrer was moderating. However, how Obama got "Tom" at one point really confused me. Sorry, I'll stop.

What is that? Blue Steel maybe? I think Rob's got it down.

I saw it too. And like Melanie said, McCain wouldn't look at Obama, while Obama would look at McCain and address him. I also noticed that Obama referred to McCain as "John" and McCain referred to Obama as "Senator Obama". I just thought that was interesting. McCain was pretty redundant. I didn't watch the whole thing, but he said he wasn't Miss Congeniality at least 3 times. He also said how much Obama has spent 5 or 6 times. I thought it was a bit ridiculous when talking about government spending, he decides to bring up $3 million we're spending on bears. $3 million is pocket change considering what we're dumping in Iraq. If we're going to make cuts, it's gonna have to be way, way, WAY more than $3 million.

I still can't get over how goofy Nikki looks with pale skin and blonde hair. But Rob looks good.

I like it! The drunk and lurking part was my favorite.

I had an MP3 player like that. Then I broke it.
