Al Smith Dinner

Nice to see both candidates have a sense of humor.



McCain's Remarks




Part 2



(begins with Acorn)

Obama Remarks





Lunch with "Michelle Obama"

"Michelle Obama ordered lobster apps, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar, and Champagne at the Waldorf Wednesday afternoon when she was there with O for a meeting"

The right is trying to say this is "elitist". I think bringing ths up is mistake. Then again, the left tried to make a thing about how many houses and cars the McCains owns.

You might remember this

"When John Kerry, John Edwards and their wives descended on a Newburgh, New York, Wendys on Friday for a 'lite" lunch with the common people, it was all just a photo op.

Team Kerry Edwards had already ordered their real lunches - consisting of five star gourmet food from a tony local restaurant - with instructions to have the haute cuisine ready for pick-up after the top Democrats ditched Wendy's.

"A member of the Kerry advance team called Nikola’s Restaurant at the Newburgh Yacht Club the night before and ordered 19 five-star lunches to go that would be picked up at noon Friday," MidHudsonNews.com reported on Sunday.

"Management at the restaurant, which is operated by CIA graduate chef Michael Dederick, was told the meals would be for the Kerry and Edwards families and actor Ben Affleck who was with them on the tour."

After tossing out their cheeseburgers and chili, Kerry and Edwards feasted on shrimp vindallo, grilled diver sea scallops, prosciutto, wrapped stuffed chicken, and steak salad.

The meals came to about $200, MidHudson News said."

This was the BEST! Whoever wrote those lines for McCain did a great job. His delivery killed. obama spent too much time making fun of himself, which really wasn't funny since he referred to himself as superman rather than the messiah. Jeez, talk about a megalomaniacal egomaniac!

McCain does have a good sense of humor on his own as seen on Letterman last night.

Both McCain and Obama did a good job, but I thought Obama was really good, really funny and sharp, like I remember Kennedy, he reminds me a lot of Kennedy actually really smart with a great sense of humour, he'll be a fantastic President for America.

Oh I forgot to say, the asian cultures consider big ears a sign of great wisdom, Buddha had big ears, the bigger the ears the greater the wisdom, Obama should do well negotiating with the Chinese.

That must be the reason for the big ears on the tiki heads of Easter Island.
