Obama: concussion drove me into White House race
22 minutes ago
Democrat Barack Obama joked Wednesday that the true reason he entered the White House race was concussion.
"Why did I start running for president? I got hit on the head with a rock," the Illinois senator told a seven-year-old girl who questioned him on his motivation at a "town hall" meeting in Indiana.
"When I woke up, I'd made my announcement and then it was too late. No, I'm teasing," Obama said to laughs.

This man is humor impaired.
I'll gladly take 4 years of McCain's self-deprecating humor to Obama's sophomoric bombs.
It says a lot about McCain that he can laugh at himself. Obama, on the other hand, is thin skinned and arrogant.

How about a commercial with Hugo Chavez and a bunch of OPEC-ites crying over a tire gauge and howling “We’re Doomed!”

I think you’re reading too much into this. Lots of Presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle have said they must be a little crazy to undergo such a campaign.

OK folks we have a lot more important things to worry about... Besides, it was a cute thing to say to a little kid and I think I might have said something similar.

The kid could interpret the remark literally
I can remember as a kid being pretty loud and my Mom coming into the room and saying. “With a voice like that, you will make a good preacher.” I remember thinking, If I stay loud, I have to become a preacher. I’m not sure I want to be a preacher, maybe I will be quiet. Mom got here desired result.........maybe.

The only way he’ll get my vote is if I get hit in the head with a rock. I really wouldn’t be personally voting for him, however, whoever the dems assign to use my name will.
To: Sub-Driver
he’s trying to show he doesn’t take himself too seriously. In other words he is refining his image.

No, I'm teasing," Obama said to laughs. Teasing the children?

OMG. Somebody alert the McCain campaign to immediately suspend operations. They are at serious risk of putting this bumbling fool out of the race before he even gets nominated.

If elected, Obama would be the first president to have smoked crack.
