Political Look Alikes

A little fun in this overly serious election. Geez, does Obama have a sense of humor? Everyone knows the Tina Fey and Palin similarities but what about the others?


McCain




Ted Knight




Obama





Huggybear from Starsky and Hutch




Joe Biden



Max Headroom




Reverend Wright



Floyd the Barber

An Anchorwoman with some backbone!

I know, you probably think I am refering to Katie Couric, but you are wrong. Watch this anchorwoman get under Joe Biden's skin.



Finally, someone in the media that can ask a tough question. Let's get her to moderate a Presidential debate in 4 years.

McCain Did Nothing To Help Himself

I thought he had his best performance but he didn't do anything that would hurt Obama. Obama by a landslide.

Live Debate Analysis

John hits Obama with his "spread the wealth" statement to the plumber. Obama gives a look like he didn't say it. But he did....Robin Hood

McCain calls Hillary's name and gives credit to her on a mortgage plan. Who do you think he is wooing?

Thank you McCain, for saying you would eliminate the ethanol subsidies.

Who is going to win the "you are with Bush" argument? The longer this goes the better for Obama.

Love the question from Scheiffer about negative advertising!

McCain did not go after Obama on Ayers. Why not????

Obama states that 100% of McCain ads are negative. Come on.


Hit him with Ayers. John!

Hits him with ACORN but why not Ayers?

Finally, Ayers is mentioned. McCain did OK with it. It put the spotlight on Obama and forced him to try to explain.

Nice trap by Obama on McCain on the spending freeze statement, yet wanting to help special needs.

I like the Nuclear call out by McCain. I don't understand why we don't pursue more nuclear energy.

I think Obama wins the health care argument.

I agree with McCain on not having abortion as Litmus test for Supreme Court. I think this argument was a waste of time. Didn't learn much.

The Troops for teachers comments by McCain was stupid. I think he was playing on people's patriotism but it made no sense.

Scheiffer did a very good job. Should have been CBS anchor, not the current idiot.

We are all preferred stock holders

The government's is expected to announce that they are buying preferred stock in the 9 largest banks and possibly many smaller ones. As a capitalist, I'm a against it. However, being a realist, I admit that the government in the eyes of the people has to make a move. So if the government has to make a move, being an investor is much more appealing to me than the government as a complete debt holder. I would much rather see the government take an equity position in a company and possibly see a rate of return than just buy a bunch of bad debt and let the banks go on their merry way.

It also means that the government allows private enterprise to operate, in hopefully an effective and efficient manner, while private enterprise should be weary that they have the government watching them closely as an investor, not just a regulatory agency.

If you have to bastardize capitalism, this may be the best solution. See Steve Wynn's opinion from last week's post.

McCain Just Doesn't have "It"

Reagan had "it". Clinton had "It". Even George Bush has "It". McCain lacks "It". I have an immense amount of respect for McCain and his perseverence. He has a hard time connecting. His best moment was his acceptance speech at the convention where he kept talking during the chants, not stopping to absorb but rather talking over the chants. That was his best moment. Otherwise, he just doesn't have a moment where he connects.

I have to admit, Obama does a better job of trying to connect, though Obama appears to have a terrible sense of humor. It's non-existent. The one candidate I believe knows how to connect is Palin. She has "It". She has way more "It" than Obama. It's been painful to watch these debates.

I stand by my opinion, Obamba wins by a landslide.

Something to think about?

Can you name this movie?


Record Company Executive: Your fans are church folk, Johnny. Christians. They don't wanna hear you singing to a bunch of murderers and rapists, tryin' to cheer 'em up.

Johnny Cash: [pause] Well, they're not Christians, then.


Does it really matter what the movie is? Think about it.
