BINGO, BABY! That was my exact thought!

(The Clintons at their best. Scumbags.)

So what if Barack is a Muslim flag burner? He's BLACK, and he deserves to be president. Next!

McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds e-mailed, “We completely agree with the Obama campaign, it’s tasteless and offensive.” Hmmm. Do I hear a suppressed gleeful smile?

Mad McCain has got to be loving this.... His spokesman probably e-mailed because he couldn't stop snickering and giggling. :)

I saw it today and laughed! I sent it to a couple people around the office. Too funny.

[#7 throw away to do list.]

do people not understand satire anymore?

[Suzy Wong]

I think Obama is an android or wind up toy for some group, and his wife is WAY BEYOND ANNOYING, I'm voting for McCain, BUT I think the cover is very offensive.....

"Deserves?"

"Deserves?"


Yes, "deserves". He's black, he's exotic, he has no ties to Halliburton, he's totally hot, and he will be YOUR next president. LOVE IT!

I have no president, but I was just checking.

Nothing to do with politics, but if one of his parents is white and one black; why do you say he is black? He is equally white. What is your reasoning here?

John McLaughlin referred to him as an "OREO".....poor old bastard....... political commentators/pundits are walking on eggshells when uttering the name OBAMA... anything said about the guy is going to be scrutinized beyond belief. Talk about playing a "race card". :rolleyes:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/14/mclaughlin-takes-heat-for-oreo-comment/

Referencing Jackson's comments, McLaughlin said Obama "fits the stereotype blacks once labeled as an Oreo — a black on the outside, a white on the inside."

"Does it frost Jackson, Jesse Jackson, that…an Oreo should be the beneficiary of the long civil rights struggle which Jesse Jackson spent his lifetime fighting for?" McLaughlin asked his panelists.

The term "Oreo" is often viewed as a derogatory term toward some African-Americans who appear not to exhibit certain stereotypes of their race.

Obama's wife just makes my skin crawl. Cindy McCain may look like plastic, but she is gracious, understated, and in the background (as First Ladies should be IMO). Mrs Obama looks like a pitbull waiting to pounce - the New Yorker cartoon is a perfect caricature of her.

I think someone may have hijacked Sugar's screen name. If so, I like them better.

In reference to the magazine cover, there has to be a thread of truth for it to be funny. That is f'in hillarious.

We considered that possibility going in, and are not without our suspicions on this particular one as well, now that it has come to our attention. It would be a clear violation our Terms Of Use. IP addresses are logged, and typically, their locale is evident.
