The US Presidential election thread

[DaveP]

Congratulations Jean Poutine!!!!!!

OMG Rick is such a bad boy, I remember this one. Although seriously , how many Canadians could point out Arkansas on the map.

I can. But I still can't figure out why Kansas and Arkansas are pronounced differently. Americans look at me all weird when I say Ar-Kansas.

Fortunately none of them has opened fire on me, always a danger...

Mediterranean Sea.

The one that connects to the Atlantic. C'mon you're from Europe, you should know this.

I saw the highlights on the news. I think boredom won the debate. I am pretty sure the Marines still use Bayunettes and I know for a fact they use horses. But who wants facts to get in the way of a funny zinger (and it was funny)

I thought the debate was awesome, and pretty much a draw.

Really odd how the president - hm... experience running the country and privvy to lots of info and should have with foreign policy down pat - really just couldn't bring it...

Romney was very presidential - I think Obama's ads are going to really change; his camp is pretty scared by how well Romney is doing overall.

The smirk is bacccccccck!!!

Of course it is. He's smacking the crap out of Obama.

How about just calling it a content facial expression?

How about just calling it a content facial expression?

Yes, that's his polite neutral expression while he's waiting his turn to speak.

Yes, that's his polite neutral expression while he's waiting his turn to speak.

Romnesia and Dubya must have had the same smirk coach unless it's repiublican inbreeding.

Donald Trump threatens to drop "gigantic" bombshell about Obama on Wednesday

'It's going to be very big. I know one thing- you will cover it in a very big fashion,' he added.
Trump wasn't giving away any clues, however, but only went on to say that it could 'possibly' play a role in the election.
He said h is waiting to Tweet the 'large, bordering on gigantic' news 'sometime probably Wednesday'.
Trump has been one of the most outspoken critics of the President and has also threatened to run against him.

Trump's big reveal : Obama an alien or wears a wig?

t was hard to tell whether anyone really had a lot of interest in Trump's big reveal. An Irish company that bills itself as “Europe’s largest betting company” said it would start taking wagers on the nature of the revelation. The best odds from Paddy Power, 2 to 5, went to an old Trump favorite: “Obama is not an American.”


Those looking for a long shot could go with “Obama wears a wig” at 500 to 1. Other betting options included: “Trump to endorse Obama” at 8 to 1, “Obama to guest on Trump’s reality show ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ ” at 50 to 1, “Obama knows the moon landing was staged” at 250 to 1 and “Obama is an alien” (whether extraterrestrial was not specified), also at 250 to 1.
One item that presumably can be crossed off the gotcha list is college-era drug involvement by Obama. A Trump advisor told the right-wing Daily Caller website Tuesday that the announcement is “substantially more important to the American people.” And surely the Real Donald would never hype anything.

Personally, I'm going for " Obama's taking attention from me( Donald Trump)"

Americans are the cutest, aren't they? We should build them a home, a little place of their own. And they can appear to themselves every day on closed circuit T.V., to make sure they're still real.

No, I'm not drunk, it's an old pop culture reference - first one to get it gets a rep!

hmmm,




take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them a home a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial
home for incurable tyrants and kings
and they can appear to themselves every day
on closed circuit t.v.
to make sure they're still real
it's the only connection they feel
"ladies and gentlemen, please welcome reagan and haig
mr. begin and friend mrs. thatcher and paisley
mr. brezhnev and party
the ghost of mccarthy
the memories of nixon
and now adding colour a group of anonymous latin
american meat packing glitterati"
did they expect us to treat them with any respect
they can polish their medals and sharpen their
smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for a while
boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead
safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
with their favourite toys
they'll be good girls and boys
in the fletcher memorial home for colonial
wasters of life and limb
is everyone in?
are you having a nice time?
now the final solution can be applied

oh goody a rep

Romney changed his position again, he practically endorsed all of Obama's policies and plans in this latest debate.

Anyone calling this most recent debate a win for Romney or even a draw didn't watch the whole debate.
