Having grown up on old LPs from Bill Cosby's Vegas period, I can't help but hear an uncanny resemblance throughout (not just from Obama, but from the audience as well).

I hope that's not like racist or something.

HEY! He called Gramm a 'Ho'!!!!
I heard it! Right after quoting Gramm, Obama says 'HOOOO' Very clearly!

I can't believe this is one of our choices for the formerly honorable office of the presidency!

For shame, America! For shame!!

Mr. Obama was given fish. In a barrel. His choice of weapons. And... that's it?! We get a chuckle. He could've cut his n-ts off.

"A nation of whiners"?

Well, he's right, kind of. I mean if you look at it from the right perspective, how the hell do you think this country became this country in the first place?

Oh, sorry... that's different. My bad. *snerk*

"I think Sen. Gramm would be in serious consideration for Ambassador to Belarus. Though I'm not sure the citizens of Minsk would welcome that," - John McCain, distancing himself from Gramm's statement that the economy was in fine shape.

If there is a more unctuous piece of shit than Phil Gramm, it must be Jesse Helms now decaying in his tobacco coughin'. Americans should be shrieking (not whining) for what's come down - and yet Those Responsible will ride out of town on January 20 unscathed and untouchable.

Quincy, I wanted the speaking in complete sentences and saying something unexpected and clever bombast.

Jesse is jealous. Obama is funny, and as somone else pointed out becoming Bill Cosby Comfy. Meanwhile Mc Cain is fighting a war in his head.

Yup. We win.
