I was surprised that more people didn't know who Barack Obama's running-mate was... maybe that's an indicator of how Barack Obama became a character more than a politician and the person became more important than the policies? I've always liked Joe Biden's policy stances, he has a good liberal track-record.

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 have an impression you think I haven't been screaming 'Obaaama!" to every living soul I've talked to today.

 

 

What I am saying is: don't expect to much from him,and then say he was a bad President because he didn't deliver things that aren't even humanly possible in just 4 years

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.

So's McCain, lmao.

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

That's very nice and idealistic but I'm sure he won't be able to change everything to that extent in just 4 years.

He doesn't expect to. He specifically said that in his acceptance speech.

You probably don't even begin to understand what power that institution has.

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!

S'okay. People with a sense of humor were more-so my target audience.

 

But thanks for the free lecture. Normally, I'd have to go to a Catholic school and have nuns hit me with a ruler to get that kind of speech about ethics.

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.

I just think McCain's a better choice, that's all.

Oh, I didn't know if there was a particularly reason why everyone would be happier with McCain.

But the current plot that was foiled was done by Neo Natzis:shocked:

 

It's obvious that his haters that want to actually kill him are racist jerks... There's just a higher threat for him than 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.

I just think that sounds like socialism.

 

Socialism is a good idea on paper, but I don't think it would work in the real world.

 

Part of me is glad that McCain doesn't want to tax the higher-ups. Because if he starts taxing oil companies, it's not gonna be like "Oh, we just lost a shetload of money, I guess we're just going to have to suck it up." Because they're just going to pass that loss onto us and gas prices will go up.

 

Oh well. They're out of Obama masks at Walmart and CVS, so he'll probably win.

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.

I think at this point everyone is pretty much aware one of them's black and one of them's white.

 

The problem is that people keep bringing it up and then getting mad when other people do the same thing.

 

If Barack says something about being a black man, then everyone's all woo-hoo!, but if McCain were to address Obama's race, do you seriously think that would go over well? Everyone would be all "OMG HE SAID HE WAS BLACK OMG I THOUGHT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COLORBLIND WAKE UP THIS IS THE TWENTY FIRZT SENTURY." It's just reverse racism.

 

Why don't we just pretend they're both white, or both black. Or we could pretend one of them's purple and one of them's blue, because honestly, I really like both of those colors.

 

I don't hate Obama because he's black. I'm voting for McCain because I want everyone to benefit.

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.

I'm angry beyond belief. I'm definatley not ignorant of the racism that still exists in America, but to the degree it is in some places amongst some subcultures scares me to death.

 

The feds busted up a plot to assasinate Obama.... it was from the Neo Natzis who also wanted to kill over a hundred African Americans as well.

 

I'm just really angry that this issue still exists and that people are so consumed by the color of a person's skin.

 

Consider this: yes it's a forward that I got haha, but it really made me think

 

Someone recently raised an interesting point regarding the two candidates for the presidency of the U.S. with

respect to still common racist sentiments in our country.

Upon serious reflection, it was really eye opening.

 

 

Education may not be everything, but there's a bit of sensitivity regarding this given that our president

for the past 8 years is also academically "challenged."

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.

Our TV news said that Joe the Plumber was not a real plumber

after all - just someone the campaign managers had "made up",

and the guy was something totally different!!

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.

new rob picture!!!!

 

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!

Gah, I'm so jealous! This is from one of the fans who went to the Austin FIlm Festival where Robert appeared:

 

"I asked him if I could touch his hair and in turn he responded "Well, it's pretty disgusting, dirty...nasty! But, if you want to!" He then leaned forward and let me do it! hahaha. So, then he started signing, and I kept running my fingers through his hair, so I commented, "I wish I could get my hair to hold this well." He then said, "No, you have absolutely beautiful hair. It smells very nice, too!" As he said this, he fluffed my hair and then winked at me! Hahaha! The girls behind me were insanely jealous, but I could not believe what had just happened. agh!

 

It's so weird...I know I sound like a total loser saying this, but there was a bit of chemistry. Laugh all you want, I really felt it. It was almost like he did, too. But who knows...we'll just have to wait and see. I think I'm going to meet him in Dallas, too. :)"

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.

OH. Sorry. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(I thought you were really apologizing for something. I felt bad. Jurk.)

 

My mom works in an eye doctor's office, and she said people come in on a daily basis and say either one of two things:

 

"Do you have those Sarah Palin glasses?"

or

"Don't gimme any of those damn ugly glasses that Alaska woman wears."

That was a pity laugh, wasn't it?

My cousin's boyfriend wears Sarah Palin glasses. He's a bit on the feminine side.

...What are you sorry for?

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.

I didn't watch the whole thing, either.

 

I hate the way they'll laugh while the other one is talking. They both did it. It's so rude and irritating.

I know! That is a major pet peeve of mine in any debate. Even if your opponent is pulling for taking the vote away from gays and putting women back in the home, you still need to show respect while they are speaking.

 

Totally unprofessional.

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...

I found it even more interesting when he addressed him as Jim.

Jim, I understood because Jim Lehrer was moderating. However, how Obama got "Tom" at one point really confused me.

I'm getting so sick of this one girl. We're friends on MySpace, and we're not really FRIENDS friends in real life. Like, we have alot of the same friends and I know her, but we don't really talk. She keeps posting these ridiculous bulletins about how much she hates McCain.

 

It's like... good god. I understand you support Obama, but I don't need to see 5 bulletins a day telling me why. (And they're dumb reasons anyway, like because McCain doesn't drive a hybrid.)

Sorry, I'll stop.

What is that? Blue Steel maybe?

I think Rob's got it down.

I was afraid no one would know what I was talking about.

It's one of those things where it was funny when it happened, but if you didn't see it / don't understand my explanation, it was really pointless.

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.

NEW PICTUREEEE!!!

 

ahhh! rob is just :wub2:x654654465456546456654:mf_lustslow:

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

But Rob looks good.

i made this video last week.....

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

 

polka dot umbrella, MP3 player, glittery-star clasp wallet, light blue mini sketch pad, glittery mini-wallet (mostly for when I don't feel like carrying my purse), and a gel pen.

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