"TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!"
I like the best picture the best.
"Do YOU feel lucky, PUNK?"
So Obama not only goes to the church, but gets a special front row seat ? And he doesn’t know what his pastor is saying?
Six people without gonads.
"What's the word? Thundabird! What's the price? Fiddy, twice!"
Can anyone explain why TSA staff are wanding McCain for a private flight? And why did I see these same sort of tarmack photos for Mitt Romney but I have never seen such a shot of Obama or Clinton?
Is there REALLY the fear that a major party candidate to be our next President could hijack a plane and do damage?
Hill's coats are getting necessarily longer...she's now almost in Johnny Cash territory.
Either it’s a photo-op, i.e. “Look what even I, the high and mighty John McCain, have to go through on my private flight.” or...uhm...have you seen The Manchurian Candidate?
Probably wouldn’t get a bucket of cow piss for the whole lot of em.
Go on, take them all to a flea or farmers market. Bet you couldn’t get squat for the whole bunch.
What good are they in all reality?
Since it is hosted at Yahoo, I don't see any vioation.

Your editorial comment was appropriate.
“Jerks on Parade”
Minister:"God D*** America" Obama thinking:"I think I have found my new church"
I don’t see it as a photo op. I saw several different stops worth of these kind of photos of Romney earlier in the campaign.
Seems to me that it should be done BEFORE bringing a candidate onto the tarmack. They are sitting ducks for a sniper out there.
And as we had a highway sniper incident this week (possibly aprehended) it is a legitimate concern.
Bill thinking: "Somthing about that sign just turns me on"
