President Goofus and President Gallant - Peer Pressers
After a quick meet-and-greet with King Abdullah, Obama was off to Israel, where he made a quick stop at the manger in Bethlehem where he was born.
Obama's camp initially agreed that the cartoon was, quote, tasteless and offensive. Really? You know what your response should have been? It's very easy. Here, let me put the statement out for you. Barack Obama is in no way upset about the cartoon that depicts him as a Muslim extremist, because you know who gets upset about cartoons? Muslim extremists. Of which Barack Obama is not. It's just a f**king cartoon.
Both McCain and Senator Barack Obama are trying to woo voters who are outside their natural demographic. In this election, for Senator Obama, that means trying to reach working class, non-Muslim white women who love America.
Demeaning Obama is not why this is a dick move by McCain. It's a dick move by McCain because one of the fine young ladies featured in this [Paris Hilton] ad -- her parents, the Hiltons, contributed $4,600, the maximum you can contribute, to the campaign of none other than John McCain. John McCain is saying to the Hiltons, "I thank you kindly for your support. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go take a nationally televised dump on your daughter."
And last week was all about Barack Obama, and his unbelievable trip overseas, traveling two continents, dazzling millions of people who come November, can in no way vote for him. But, John McCain had his own exotic adventure... [Video of McCain saying "I had the opportunity of having lunch at Schmidt's Sausage House"]. And everyone knows, as goes Schmidt's Sausage House, so goes the Hassenpfeffer Schnitzel Hut.
It was time for the most anticipated event on Senator Obama's itinerary: his speech in Berlin. And so, at 7pm local time, a crowd of over 200,000 gathered to listen to Barack Obama. There was dancing, there was the climbing of lampposts to gaze upon the junior senator from Illinois and, of course, the requisite [shot of flag waving]. Hey, I don't want to say anything, but I think your American flags are broken. They're not on fire. When was the last time you saw that overseas? You know, I've got to tell you. There's something about a charismatic leader rallying huge crowds of Germans in a large public square.
