Well McCain is pretty old…
You know, I think the Republatrons bring this up more than the Libtards now.
It’s because if they do it first, you won’t feel the need to, or something like that.
Interestingly, Obama himself bring up race before ANYONE does. On the whole, I prefer an old guy who jokes about his own age, to a black guy that preemptively implies that others are racists.
I’m funny that way.
Not exactly. Republicans were just a bit more subtle about it than usual.
-
McCain: The American president Americans have been waiting for … because Obama isn’t American … get it?
-
There are a lot of subliminal jabs under the overlying negative ads and let me ask … has the media EVER refered to Cindy as McCain’s Baby Mama?
Sorry, but you’ve just erased the line between “subtle” and “nonexistent”.
What? Go back to school.
…. you don’t see the subtle jab in “baby mama”?
Has anyone else noticed that McCain can actually tell FUNNY jokes about his own age? kinda sad that the “McCain is old” school of lols (which, happily, seems to be dying out) never come close?
What’s your point? If the president was supposed to be funny we would have had George Carland for the past 8 years instead of “Dubya.”
Change we can beliefs in
Considering the dumb things Obama has already said — 57 states, 8 to 10 years of presidency — it’s not all that far fetched.
Obama’s gaffe list from a few weeks ago:
Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you, Sioux City. … I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”
Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”
Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil-rights movement as a whole.”
Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.
Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”
I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site.
Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s Dreams from My Father: “Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”
And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”
Obsessive ideologue is obsessive!
Stupid politician is stupid.
Yes because politicians are not allowed to misspeak? May I remind you “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” – GWB
When GWB misspeaks, he’s portrayed as a moron.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander … though Obama seems to get things wrong far more often than Bush does.
No wonder he’s terrified of getting into a live debate with McCain.
That’s exactly why. Obama gives great speeches…that someone else writes for him. He’s a good memorizer. But….get him to respond LIVE, and off the cuff to people…he makes George W. sounds like a genius. lol.
On two separate days, John McCain made reference to Czechoslovakia. He doesn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shia, or the borders of Iraq.. (But according to his camp, he’s old and tired and prone to these little mistakes.)
But he’s ready to take a 3am phonecall? I wouldn’t trust him to have his head together for a 3pm phonecall.
Obama doesn’t know how many states there are.
If he takes that 3am phone call, will he even remember which country he’s president of?
You heart him, admit it.
spleen, maybe
Beautifully stated.
sunni and shiite, maybe?
Right, like when Russia invaded Georgia, and they both got questioned off the cuff.
McCain said Russia should stop attacking.
Obama said that both sides should stop fighting.
Like having a mom who blames you when your brother hits you.
Just what America needs in a President. Someone who takes days to figure out what’s going on.
But keep using hypothetical examples, Obama looks pretty good in hypotheticals.
… Was there a point to this, or was it just bashing someone because they were gonna win? And he did!
George W. Bush is actually pretty smart. He’s a lousy public speaker, but he’s smart.
Personally, I’m not a big Obama fan, and I don’t know a lot about McCain. (I’m an independent anyway, but if I had to pick republican or democrat, I’d pick republican.)
he barely scraped a C average in an Ivy League school his family endowed … he must be brilliant
Why do people always assume that someone who’s slamming Obama is a Bush supporter? I am an ardent Democratic and I think Obama is a cheap political hack who couldn’t string together a coherent speech on his own let alone a coherent policy. Stop trashing Bush and McCain to make Obama look good. They have their flaws but Obama is far worse because he claims to be different but he’s just like them. He’s a F***’in Hypocrite.
Andrew, which Democrat did you support?
He’s probably just as upset as the rest of, well, everyone, in that he feels there’s no one to support. We’ve got poor choices, either way we go, so why choose? Screw it.
I really hope you aren’t planning to sit out the vote. Regardless of who you eventually vote for I hope you do vote. Saying neither one is the best candidate is the truth but there has to be one that you find less repugnant.
I am not saying this to influence your vote, I don’t care who you pick but I truly hope you do vote if only so you can say “well, I voted for …..” when the guy that gets in screws up. (if you voted for the other one that is)
Irritating flamebaiter is irritating
O RLY?
Ya, rly.
If you stay tuned in to the liberal mainstream media, you miss a lot.
It’s not news that you have to go further than the mainstream media to get thorough news coverage. Even liberals know that.
beats the republican propaganda blogs. At least mainstream media has some fact checking.
very minimal, when it comes to Republican talking points and Editorials…
I could bring up a list thirty times bigger on McCain’s fuck ups and god forbid his excessive flip flopping, but it’s a much bigger list. Obama > McCain GG.
anniethegreat, WIN!!!!
LOL!!
BELIEFS WE CAN CHANGE IN!
and changes we can change in.
Changes aren’t permanent, but beliefs is.
is they? Rly?
I like macs with swearin’ in em! <3snugglef*ck<3
That might be funny if it hadn’t been Photoshopped.
Yeah, it’s still funny… especially because it works on many levels. There’s the “accept it for what it is, cause you know it’s fake” level, the “Crotchwaffles are ‘tards” level, and the “Heh, great caption” level, to name three…
Duh. Does ANYONE here think it’s real? Of course not. We’re not idiots. And Obama’s an idiot but not THAT big of one (I don’t think.) In case you hadn’t noticed, at least 1/2 of the ones that show up on here are photoshopped.
Quit nitpicking and enjoy it for what it is. Mindless humor to take your focus off the unfunny joke that is becoming the campaign trail.
Half of the stuff here isnt photoshopped. dont try to come up with excuses especially if you suck at making up statistics so much.
Excuses? Huh? I don’t see any “excuses.” And, for the record, just because you’re not even intelligent enough to use little things like apostrophes, doesn’t mean the rest of us are as ignorant. Take a look at them.
Grammar Confucius say: Man who use comma improperly no chastise man who lack apostrophe.
heehee … jellybeans say this post is full of awesome and win
tyler agrees.
LOL! THAT was the best reply/insult you could come up with? I’m not sure what she was “excusing” but if that comment is the best of your abilities, you’re the one who needs excuses. Sheesh.
Studies have show that 87.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot
To my knowledge, it was 41.75%.
35.28% of the people believe that your statement is correct!
;D
I believe you are both incorrect, my recollection is a figure within the ballpark of 92%
Hana> at least 1/2 of the ones that show up on here are photoshopped.
Frank> Half of the stuff here isnt photoshopped.
Rebuttal. Ur doin it wrong.
Oh I actually lol’d on that one! Thank you for pointing out the massive fail in that!
Okay…THAT was a good one! Took me a moment to get it, I’ll admit. But it made me laugh. Thanks for the chuckles. lol.
PHOTOSHOP made that sign!
LOL, brilliant caption (and BIZARRE photo).
Obama or CHANGE…ing his mind, but not his position for standing so it looks like he has a halo.
That could also be the photographer’s position you know … It is a big-ass O up there and I don’t mean Oprah this time.
Photo shop doesn’t make it any less rediculous, or funny.
Just to let you knwo to, every time I talk to a ‘liberal’ about theri believes and they can’t counteract my arguement, they use ‘ I just want a change’ as their final arguement.
A change that you don’t know really know what it will do but you’re guessings its better then whats there.
Were you high when you typed that? You sound like you’re high…. NPH would approve.
I was extremely jet lagged! does that count?
Yeah, we’ll give you a pass but only because we know you’re usually more coherent than that. That must have been some flight though.
Yeah it was, their was a baby that the parents insisted on keeping awake for the full eight hours, and the last three they took about 50 pictures of it asleep, and even when you had your eyes closed you could see the flash.
Seriously some people have a serious lack of etiquette (googled the word and found out I got it right!) on planes.
But they had like a little screen for everyone (even in coach) and you could like plane games, watch tv shows, or pick the movies you watched. They even had multiplayer games for other people on the plane. I could play battleship with other people! It was pretty cool. But yeah…..
This crotchwaffle owes one to the douchnozzles.
First paragraph is just me complaining, second one take out the first know and it makes sense.
Actually, that sign is correct. So if someone PSed it to be a joke, they are the real idiot. I have a set of beliefs. Obama has a set of beliefs. I believe in my beliefs. I don’t believe in my believes.
YOU ARE APPARENTLY the only other person than I to care to think before typing annoying, reactionary comments. The sign is perfectly correct.
Learn your own language internet babies before you make fun of someone for using it correctly.
I think the point is that the sign is kind of redundant and silly. Beliefs we can believe in? Well what else are you going to do with beliefs? I don’t want a president with just beliefs I can believe in, I want a president who takes action on them.
This set of “the sign is correct” comments is disturbing.
Is that some form of deadpan reverse humor? Or is that solid unadulterated idiocy?
The sign is *grammatically* correct. It is even *semantically* correct. It’s just contextually incorrect (the real slogan is “change we can believe in”). And the funny lies in “who the fuck” reaction, because it’s so much out of character.
Okay, now I’ve explained a joke, I feel silly.
Actually, each campaign state headquarters has a different “slogan”. There’s a national, then a local campaign tailored to what the state cares about. Given that Iowa is a very religious sector – beliefs is a strong word to connotate in politics.
To give the creator the benefit of the doubt maybe they were making a comment on the vague message and how redundant it is. I mean, of course we believe in our beliefs. Are there people out there that don’t? But you’re probably right that they weren’t intending that at all.
BTW, believes is a VERB… beliefs is a noun.
*sigh* I was starting to think that I was crazy.
“Um… there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that sign, right, Brain?”
“I don’t think so, but best not to pipe up or else the ‘loosers’ will get on your case.”
“Damn it, I’ve told you before, it’s losers, you idiot.”
“Takes one to know one!”
“Damnit, pwned by my own brain.”
That was very similar to my own thought process, strange…
Good, I know I wasn’t the only one who was like “ummm…. there’s nothing wrong with that sign?” He probably uses a different sign in the states you all are from… but he knows that the Iowans, having the best schools in the nation, wouldn’t think it’s wrong for no reason.
At least it doesn’t say “potatoe”.
Thank you, tip your waitress, I’m here all week.
Potatoes we can believe in? Oh my. <3
Unless you’re a diabetic…
Check the Kerning!!!! The kerning!!!!!
The JPEG compression algorithm is to blame for the artifacts in the image, not Photoshop manipulation.
I got you ligature right here, pal.
Yes it is the kerning that drives Obama crazy about this sign. Ha ha!
Actually the kerning is pretty solid on this sign. I get so sick of lousy kerning on professional stuff. It’s like a disease that apparently not many can recognize. It’s frikken everywhere!
Quote attribution FAIL…
Jean Chrétien made the sign… because “A proof is a proof, and when you have a good proof its because its proofen”
Might not be funny to anyone else, but whatever.
OMFG!!! so hillarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is “ypu”?
