"Even if Obama wins, I'll never call him Mr. President. I'll call him "The Community Agonizer."

Well, if it makes you feel any better. You're not hoping that this nickname you've come up with will catch on, are you? But I gather that "Mr. President" is a second person form…

Hey, what's wrong with spending $22,800 in 2 weeks for make-up? Sarah Palin is a celebrity. The biggest celebrity in the world, comparable to Tom Cruise, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Very true. But they're spending their own money on wardrobes and stylists, not campaign donors'.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media ignores the illegal millions Obama is getting from overseas donors.

(Yawn) There are plenty of conservative papers and TV stations that would be all over this story if it had any substance, and McCain's team would have it in every one of their ads. So why…

"bumbling, incompetent US President" If Obama's elected, that's what you'll be seeing.

This is an interview from The Washington Times, a paper that I understand doesn't have a liberal bias, and is about the Bush administration:

"We just let things get completely out of hand... spending, the conduct of the…

I know this is from the British press, but it reports a message on a pro-Al Qaida website. Looks like those enemies of America just don't know which way to turn:

"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, >who pledged to continue the war till the…

I beg to differ. Bush is what's kept them from doing any more damage than what they've been able to do.

The current administration has completely squandered America's ability to stop anyone from doing anything they like. Its feeble reaction to the conflict in Georgia is a stark example of…

Coulrophobic,

All this stuff about Obama and the socialist inclinations of the people he's associated with?

No one cares.

Putin is itching for Obama to get into office. He can finally reassemble >the Soviet Union without fear of consequences.

You might recall that he wasn't exactly quaking in his boots at the prospect of the US reaction to the conflict in Georgia. Neither should he have been, as the…

Sez - "Obama's popularity does not rest on his tax plan"

That's fer sure! No one wants their taxes raised. His popularity rests >on his messiah-like aura.

Someone just remind me again how many people are going to get their taxes raised under Obama's plan? Did someone say 5% of…

To me, it sounds more like Biden was talking about the kinds of problems Obama will have to face rather than the way he will handle them. But won't McCain have to deal with the exact same problems if he gets elected?
