1. Notice a pattern here? Lieberman, Romney both patronizingly calling Obama a nice "young man"--

pretty close to "boy", isn't it?

[The Wielding Truth]

12. Hey.I think it's the first time I have heard a" Republic" tell the truth.

Even if it is done snidely, it is the truth, and I think these are just a few of Senator Obama's wonderful attributes. :kick:

[Flying Dream Blues]

2. Well-spoken...sigh. Don't you mean "articulate", Mitt? UGH. nt

[Clear Blue Sky]

3. He didn't mention "clean"...

[AspenRose]

6. Exactly what I was thinking

"YOU FORGOT 'CLEAN'!"


:eyes:

8. Maybe a different language.

Handsome=clean
Well spoken=articulate

[Pirate Smile]

4. The handsome part just makes it weird.

5. Black people get these references

And the Republicans have been using them A LOT lately. It's a real shame that we can't even speak out about this type of stuff because we get accused, like Obama did last week, of the playing the race card. I always say that if you don't want the race card played, don't put it in the deck.

7. I think he meant "articulate".

9. Funny how Mitt and Lie-berman used the same phrase...almost like it was scripted or something...

Oh..............

Yeah, I think it's unfortunate, and I bet he didn't even realize he was talking down to Obama like that. It's in the subconcscious, and they don't even realize they did it. I mean, how often has anyone EVER told you you speak well? I bet black people who speak in "proper english" hear it too often.

11. what a slimy piece of work

liars and the lying lies

[THale2]

13. Is Cindy McCain a young lady

since her and Obama are about the same age.....married to the old coot...that only reminds you of how old he is///also its reverse ageism...if Obama called McCain old...which he is...all hell would break loose

[northernlights]

14. young man?

Sure ya didn't mean "boy" Mitt and Joe? A clean, well-spoken boy?

First thoughts that popped into my head.

15. What about Bobby Jindal???

He's only THIRTY-SEVEN-- a full TEN years younger than Obama-- but there's talk of him being a serious candidate for McCain's VP--- quite literally a single beat of a feeble old man's heart away from the Oval Office! But I guess THEIR brown people can be young AND qualified, eh?

[ryanmuegge]

17. Yeah, he's the right-wing talk radio favorite.

They love Jindal. Judging by what I've heard about his views, he's about 37 going on 97.

16. Romney was probably the inspiration for American Psycho.

He reminds me of that dude. What a sociopathic robot.
