I'm not an Obama supporter either, but this is ridiculous. I also fiind it amusing that republicans are so hung up with Obama's occasional slip-ups while their hero, the man who currently occupies the White House, has butchered the English language over the last eight years.

I know, right? Having an imbecile in office didn't seem to bother them much over the last 8 years, but an occasional name gaffe has them up in arms.

All in all, seemed like McCain bitch clapped Obama.

Really?

I didn't see it as a clear slam dunk for either one. I thought it was pretty even.

I can't believe he would not realize his profanity will easily be heard...

Well, first let's not just make a blanket statement like the Republicans' hero is W. Secondly, as long as one side is going to post all these comments/videos about Palin's gaffes and McCain not making eye contact then why shouldn't the other point out errors as well.

I don't think he was saying that, but even if he was, when it is horse shit, should it not be pointed out?
haha

Yes he is, it's been all over the news, I haven't really heard what the McCain camp is saying about it. They will probably ignore it, which is probably the best thing for them.

Watch it multiple times, he clearly does. Media has pointed it out too, saw it on Fox as well, if that makes you feel better hah.

Horse shit eh? I'm okay with him saying that, what I'm not okay with is the pot calling the kettle black. First class wanker for sure.

saden is a smart guy who used to offer some solid contributions to these types of threads, but those are few and far between now. He doesn't care anymore.

I still contribute in a meaningful way. Who else but me would bring you all those Palin videos?

You know, it's hard to get up for these threads when people in here are saying Palin is more qualified than Obama because she has executive experience. The level of intelligence and honesty has extremely declined with respect to the election related threads so why bother?

I am off the Obama bandwagon but I despise McCain so much that everything he does or says agitates me. I will continue to harp on him. If anyone else wants to step up and harp on Obama be my guest.

It just kinda looked to me like he was wanting to interrupt with something, but stopped and it sounded odd. I am just not sure he would do such a thing so obvious as to cuss on a national stage like that.

This is what the dems have as a base. They rule out everything without an open mind.

Saden I just read your whole post and you need to keep faith in the system. Its not the best but it works. HIAL TO THE SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[That Guy]

obama had a really good commercial during the skins game btw... just him talking to the camera about his economic plan (available on his website barackobama.com/plan or something) and about trickle down economics hasn't really worked (which has been shown before).

no name calling, no mud slinging, and it seemed pretty genuine, so props for that.

I'm sure he is.

You are saying that CNN, MSNBC, and FOX, yes FOX altered their video and are lying? Also these networks showed this clips from their OWN footage, not on YouTube.

I love how Republicans can find all sorts of excuses for this, yet they are ready throw all sorts of YouTube links saying Obama should not be the president because he didn't put his arm over his heart during the anthem. It's pathetic.
