Worst Debate Ever!

No wonder...this is ABC and George Stoponopololiisiss is a real shithead. First 45 minutes...let's hit Obama question after question after question and then let Hillary sneak right away from her 'sniper' question. He held his own but man he was struggling quite bad with words until they finally decided to talk about policy.

As I said on facebook...why not put this on VH1 or E!...

Well, Obama's visit to Muncie was the first time I had ever been to any sort of political event. And it was nothing that I ever expected. Yes, I expected long lines at the tickets. Maybe even at the door. What I didn't expect?

Vendors.

T-shirts, buttons and caps all for low, low prices compared to the candidate's websites.

One problem...aren't you wanting to support the candidate...and not some guy selling stuff at random that he made to copy it?

Final version of my video (probably)



That's it. I don't want any lower thirds. They would be inappropriate.
So Bush is definately going to the Olympics in China and for once I think I am actually supporting his decision. The Olympics are supposed to be a peaceful time for countries to just chill out and let their athletes compete against the rest of the world. I think a lot of people have forgotten what the olympics stand for, and it's kind of sad. It was embarrasing to watch protestors try and blow out the torch. Like I said, good for Bush to rise above the crap and actually remember what the games are all about.

Loose lips sink ships?

Barack Obama's surge in Pennsylvania appears to have stopped after the controversy over his remarks about bitter small town voters clinging to guns and religion, according to a new poll.

But the Quinnipiac University survey, the first taken since coverage of the remarks, also doesn't show immediate evidence that Obama has been wounded.

The poll showed Hillary Clinton with a 50 percent to 44 percent lead over Obama, the same as a week earlier over Obama, who had been narrowing her lead from single digits.

I know some people in small towns are upset with Obama's statements. He admitted he should have phrased his thoughts a little differently. I understand how people in small towns who have lost jobs might be bitter and upset, but I don't get the guns and religion reference. In difficult times people often seek solace through a higher power. So I can see "clinging to religion," as a way to deal with hard times. But I don't see that as a bad thing. Whatever helps people get through, especially religion should be looked at as good.

Now explain to me how guns figure into the equation.
