You have to admit that both of these guys running for President are clowns. Each have their own characteristics that make it comical to watch the political speeches, interviews and blunders.

Take for instance, Mr Obama. First off, his name is hilarious. Barack Hussien Obama. Probably spelled that middle name wrong since when I looked on his website, cant find it anywhere. Can we have a President Obama? Really, I know that America is the melting pot and all that but President Obama? Can't get over that one.

I will have to say that the McCain ads are pretty good when he puts Obama in the same light with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. The man is a rock star. Walks with the swagger, smiles with those big old white teeth and dresses the part. He is like a cult. I wouldnt put him on the same intelligence level as those before mentioned woman (give him a few extra IQ points) but he has got the fame that would rivel the Beatles coming to America. Everywhere he goes, he needs a bigger stadium. Couldn't you see him a back room after one of his rock concerts with chicks surrounding him while he basks on the couch with a shot of Scotch ( most expensive you can find) in a crystal glass. The caption would read " you livin the High Life?"

Lastly, I love listening to him speak. After 30-40 minutes, I take a deep breathe, let out a sigh like I have just taken the biggest terd of my life and think, "now what did he just say?" It is amazing and I will say this of both, more one than the other, they talk alot and say nothing. They would be great salesmen. They have to be. They need to sell you on themselves and that is what Obama is good at. Clinton was very much like this. Obama talks as smooth as Reagan. That is a compliment by the way. The only problem is that Reagan had stories that brought the point home, real sincerity that I dont think anyone will ever top. Yeah, my opinion. To me, Obama says nothing except he wants to unite, wants to change the world, wants things done differently in Washington. Where have I heard that before? About every 4 years. I am waiting for the one time with Obama that I can see him on Funniest Home Videos or something. Its gotta happen.

Now on to the clown McCain. Yeah I am voting for him because I think he is a President but he isnt without fault. Who is? The comedians are going to have a field day with McCain if he is elected. You think the impressions of George W are funny, wait til they get ahold of McCain. That voice --he has reminds me of my cranky old Grandpa.

I know he is my candidate but the age thing is a concern. He looks in pretty good shape for his age and the man has been through a war--literally but I waiting for him to fall over one of these days.

Doesnt seem to smile very much and always looks serious. Lighten up McCain! I cant see McCain shooting hoops or doing the Presdential jog but I could see him busting people over the backs with pool cues.

Lets imagine McCain and Obama in a fight. Obama would remind me of Sugar Ray or Ali dancin', bobbin', and weavin'. McCain would sitting there chasing him with a limp and sayin "come over here you little bastard so I can woop your ass." Obama would be jabbin and movin'. Now McCain would just keep taking the shots, bloody and a mess but then... someone wants Obama's picture so he stops and smiles. McCain pops him with one punch and down he goes. Empty suit. Damn, I should write a comic, not this blog.

Hopefully the debates will give us some laughs. This was a light hearted blog this time around. We'll get at some meat next time around but just didnt have it in me this month.
