grasping at straws

I haven’t made it any secret that I want Obama to win in November. At first I was for Hilary until she and Bill got on my nerves, but she’s out of the race so watcha gonna do? Now I’m thinking McCain should do now what Hilary should have done before she was forced out and Jesse Jackson should have done before his unfortunate, sour grapes comments–get the hell out of Obama’s way.

Now McCain is likening Obama to such political luminaries as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, calling Obama the biggest celebrity in the world. Is that all you’ve got McCain? Obama isn’t qualified to run the country because . . . people like him? Whoa! Ride him out of town on a rail for that.

I’m sure you can find video of that commercial all over the web. Here’s another bit of video that is just plain sad. I also admit most of it is taken out of context, but it’s still pitiful.

McCain is reminding me more and more of some old curmudgeon crabby because his lap rug is out of place.  So my message to McCain–quit grousing grandpa.  Go on and take your nap now.  You’ll feel better later.

    Some would consider it a good thing for the presumptive leader of the free world to be a “celebrity”. McCain’s tactic sounds like “vote for me - I’m old and no one likes me! Besides, I’m not the other guy.”

    I think it’s time for his nap.

    You said it all! McCain is just pitiful. BTW, did you see this on The Daily Show?

    Here, here!

    Since when was being disliked by the majority of the world, free or otherwise, criteria for being elected president?

    Go Obama!

    I’m with you Afrit and Patricia. I’m watching The View right now and the ladies (minus Elizabeth) were saying they were offended by which celebrities McCain chose to compare Obama to–Paris and Britney, both known for being witless. How about comparing him to Will Smith or George Clooney? I hadn’t thought about it like that, actually. Anyway, they were saying that McCain’s celebrity comparison would be ::::::::::: :( drumroll, please)::::::::::::::::

    Hey Chicki,

    Fr some reason our comment went to spam or I would have included you in the last post. Luckily, I recovered you. LOL Yes, I saw that video–so last night when someone was dancing to All By Myself on So You Think You Can Dance, all I could think about was McCain going up that stair lift. Hilaious!

    Poor John McCain. He’s been reduced to labeling Obama - in a politically correct manner, of course - an “uppity n*gger.”

    Doesn’t fool me.

    get the hell out of Obama’s way

    AMEN and go sit your tired arze down and take a nap while you’re at it. How quickly McCain forgets that he was playing President while Obama was trying to dodge bullets and landmines via Hillary.

    Bettye,

    I almost missed your comment. You’ve got it right there. As my grandmother would say, he’s getting above himself. hehe Gotta love those Jamaican sayings.

    All the best,
