While on the way to brunch today, the weighted Companion Cube pointed out that 0bama made a very telling joke:
He said whoever gave me my middle name didn't think I'd ever be running for president.
eh? "Whoever gave me my middle name"??? Doesn't he know?
Maybe we're reading to much into that, but several things come to mind. Most of those could explain why he is so reluctant to allow the American people anywhere near his real birth certificate.
Does your weighted Companion Portal talk to you on the way to brunch?
“weighted Companion Cube” Is his FR screen name. When he signed on, I stopped calling him ‘ratboy’...
Maybe he was trying to avoid naming and blaming the culprit.;)
The cake is a lie.
Speaking of putting your foot in your mouth - It’s interesting to note that John Murtha, congressman from Western Pennsylvania, said that Obama may have a problem in W. PA because those people are racists. Those people are his constituents and being from that area I find this comment ridiculous and insulting.
Since I didn't follow the whole thing, I will defer to your saying that McCain was better. I will note, however, that I don't judge how funny something was by how much the audience laughed. I judge by what made me laugh.
Huh? McCain wowed them.
BTW, the dinner is for charity. Presidents have spoken there. Churchill spoke at one, via telephone.

Take a listen.
This is an eye opener. Some amazing interviews - but not really surprising.
A Racist and uninformed constituency!

If we want to read anything into their jokes, then perhaps McCain was saying something to us when he said Bill Clinton told him Obama was qualified because he was over 35 and a US citizen.
Maybe that was Mac’s way of telling us we’re wasting our time with the birth certificate thing and to move in a different direction.
Sorry, but I think I disagree with everything you just said.
McCain was much funnier than Obama, both in the jokes and in the telling. The majority of the jokes were either self depricating or about the other one or about the campaign itself.
Would you also criticize them if they went to see a movie or a football game?
And your comments about him being out of touch etc., please spare me the sound bites.
Nah... just a bunch of provincial warlords.
No, I had to kill it. :(
I’ll never be the same.
Sounds like Fox picked some bad excerpts — I watched all of the McCain talk, close to 15 min., and here were many LOL lines. Maybe some of them wouldn’t translate well as soundbites and had to be heard in context, I don’t know. Of course humor can be completely subjective...... but I thought McCain was great.
Obama’s talk was OK, it gave me a few mild chuckles, but I did not find any of it to be LOL.
[in a room flooded with acid] “Please note that we have added a consequence for failure. Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an “unsatisfactory” mark on your official testing record, followed by death. Good luck!”
Are you nuts? McCain was extremely funny and much better than Bozo. As for making a joke and saying "who ever gave me that name" is very telling, it says he a:)He either doesn't know who named him, or b:)He doesn't want to say who named him. What we say in times of stress even in jokes is very telling and this statement was. If you believe Bozo was so much funnier than McCain then perhaps you are voting for him, because only an Obamabot would think they were even close.

If he stops at eight, we'll be lucky. I'm sure when he has his supermajority in Congress, a fawning press, easily manipulated masses, and a 7-2 liberal SCOTUS majority, they will resurrect their plan to appeal the 22nd amendment.
If that doesn't work, I'm sure the 7-2 liberal SCOTUS majority will somehow find some twisted logic whereby the 22nd Amendment is found to violate the "implied" right to privacy.
It has been a tradition for Presidential Candidates to speak at this dinner for many years. They raised 4M dollars for children with special needs.
You apparently did not watch the same clips I did. McCain was immensely funny and Barach was mildly amusing. I have seen many commentaries lauding McCain’s humor and timing.
And it is rather humorless for you to object to gatherings where people of different political persuasions get together. This is the way to reduce the terrible hostility that we see in politics.
And, what is wrong with the economy is that one party (democrats) participated in destroying the credit markeet and the mortgage market. How not having a dinner to benefit charities will help with that problem is very unclear to me.
Big charity dinners is what rich people do. Sometimes it may even help charities.
