Oh, Obama...once again trying to paint yourself as the cool, young candidate :rolleyes: :p

[Abstract]

^^Well he IS young, and he might actually be cooler than the others, so......

Hes got my vote.

If that crazy woman is elected im running for the border up north.

Heh. I keep saying the same thing about Romney. I think my parents are nervous, after the 2004 election my mother left a message that said "Turn back! If you don't like it change it but please don't move to Canada. At least call before you hit the border."

Alec Baldwin promised - quite seriously - that he'd move to Canada if Bush was re-elected.

Still waiting on that one, Alec...

[PlaceofDis]

that wasn't half bad and gave me a chuckle

[donga]

funny top 10 for a candidate looking for more votes...

Supposedly he never actually was quoted that on-air. He claims his wife repeated him joking that moving to Canada might be a good idea if Bush were re-elected, but that he never actually promised he would do that. He could be just covering his ass, but I've never seen or heard an actual recording of him saying that. It gets repeated a lot that he said it though. On the other hand, he has a reputation for saying some dumb things and for making bad jokes that people take seriously, so he might have said it.

oh yeah it'd be terrible to have a president who would balance the budget or bring unviersal pre school to fix our dropout factory that we call an education system.

[Mike Teezie]

I'm really looking forward to Baracktober.

It would be if the president's name was McCain or Clinton. We can have the white house moved to a ICU, or to the makers of midol to better suite them.

Universal pre-school aka throwing more money at education will really solve our education problems. :rolleyes:

Seems to me Obama's most desirable quality is that he isn't Hillary.

He also aspires to make Government like an iPod.

Instead of recommending traditional welfare-state liberalism as a solvent for socioeconomic inequalities and dislocations, Goolsbee promotes programs to essentially democratize the market, protecting and where possible expanding freedom of choice, while simultaneously creating rational, self-interested incentives for individuals to participate in solving collective problems. In a recent forum for candidate economic advisors sponsored by the New American Foundation, Goolsbee offered an example of what he called Obama's "sleek and easy to use iPod version of government." Suppose the goal is to get Americans to save more by diverting some portion of their income into investment accounts. "The research is very clear," said Goolsbee. The way to get people to start doing that is to "default them into automatic enrollment." So, a worker starts a new job, and 3 percent of his or her paycheck is automatically deposited into an investment account. But if the workers wanted to opt out of such a program, said Goolsbee, they could easily do so. For some reason, I developed an immediate interest in the idea. Good job, Goolsbee.

Yeah, I think I probably didn't give him the benefit of the doubt!

That Crazy Woman would be better than the men running under that other party. :eek:

You make is sound like the government spends a lot on education... if only they did! ... not that money will solve problems, but it helps!

... something is amiss here. Obama will never be elected, he has a sense of humor even about...himself! gasp!

Well, yeah. And Hillary's is that she isn't a Republican. Even though in a lot of ways, she actually kinda is. So's he actually, in some ways.

[emmawu]

I'm kind of tired of ALL this campaign hoopla. Yawn :(

Don't knock it. That's a damned fine quality right there.

[jessica.]

It was quite funny once you get over the fact that he didn't seem all that relaxed.
