There will be a time where we talk about the Iraq war in the same way- drunk, in despair and on the couch.

I don't think this is a good idea. He's leaving himself open to a devasting "Senator, I served with Alexander Hamilton: I knew Alexander Hamilton; Alexander Hamilton was a friend of mine. Senator, You're no Alexander Hamilton." response from McCain.

we gotta shut this barack guy up before he starts a national conversation on my private sex life.

Isn't that the guy from SuperBad playing Hamilton?

Barack was at Cooper Union today? I live like four blocks from there, but I was at work all day. Goddamnit Barack, you might send me an email to let me know when you'll be in the neighborhood instead of just asking me for money.

Fuckin' Aaron Burr's not on money!!!

@blueinOH: Yeah, that's Michael Cera. Or George Michael Bluth.

"It's a sore point, a source of lingering bitterness, resentment, and misunderstanding for many..."

Sweet baby Jeebus, when will you people stop slagging off the Clinton campaign? This is really getting tedio....

Oh. Never mind.

@jagorev: Funny that he asks you for money but just hanging out with Bloomberg. He loves his bottom up democracy.

From the legendary Two Cars in Every Garage, Three Eyes on Every Fish episode from the Simpsons' second season:

Mary Bailey: My worthy opponent thinks that the voters of this state are gullible fools. I, however, prefer to rely on their intelligence and good judgment.

Reporter (sarcastically): Interesting strategy.

@blueinOH: It totally is. Beautiful!

Wow! He basically told a bunch of fat cats that they were being irresponsible fucks and they need to stop it and help poor people. And they seemed to agreed with him.

How does he do that?

@FloraWay: And on that point-- Obama should have Bloomberg as his VP and McCain should have Crist so that if anyone accuses either one of being gay, they can point the finger back to the other candidate.

I know we're supposed to be all funny and sarcastic and jaded and what-not here, but I've looked over the speech and ... well, let's just say it's beyond refreshing to read (much less hear) a moderate, level-headed political position outlined clearly, lucidly and with what appears to be a general sense of good will. Compare that with Cheney's "So?" when asked about the polls showing 2/3 of the U.S. public believing the Iraq war is a mistake.

I'm so tired of having to cringe every time I see the President of the United States approaching a microphone. I'm tired of entertainers passing themselves off as policy gurus. I'm tired of pissing off half the people in the room because I was stupid enough to express my opinion.

I know, I know ... "To dream ... the impossible dream ... ." But it wasn't always like this.

Okay, enough of that -- Hillary has retractable claws and eats puppies! McCain is undead and loves Mexicans! Obama, uh, smokes and, uh, has a pushy wife! BLAHH!

They made Obama look a lot whiter in that video...

@greatgooglymoogly: I feel the same way. But unfortunately, we live in this country:

I remember that Lincoln asshole had a similarly crappy speech at Cooper Union.

Bringing up Alexander Hamilton isn't going to make up for calling your mother a 'typical white person'. Sorry. Nice try.

Awesome! Totally awesome! All right, Hamilton!

@greatgooglymoogly: Uh, yeah.

Jesus, for once, didn't weep.

23% of Democrats believe Alexander Hamilton was a Muslim.

@Tawmn: Barack was showing Amerika his white side.

I totally have an idea.

CNN or MSNBC or whoever should do a debate format with full-on spectacle, except instead of a debate it's a kind of Burr-Hamilton "speech off" duel, where they take turns making 5 minute speeches, with Gore-style multimedia on the giant screen behind them.

@FoggyFroggy: I like that idea, but Obama and Hillary need to wear Hamilton and Burr costumes.

Obama would look great in a powdered wig and Hillary could wear some sexy 18th century style pants - they're like capris, except tighter.

@TGY: Yeah, I know. I gotta lay offa those three martini breakfasts.

he's got to quit this silly habit of confusing the american public with thinking adults, he's really killing his campaign with this nonsense.
