does anyone else get kind of creeped out by crowds chanting in unison or doing a 'call and response' with a speaker? it doesnt matter who it is speaking, or what size crowd, but it always creeps me out

Yes, I feel this way when I watch youth group retards whipped into a frenzy by their leaders.
 
Awesome that he is immediately shifting his speech to McCain. If McCain wants his whole campaign to be about attacking Obama instead of promoting himself, you have to respond in kind. And harder. Chicago-style.

Hey Phil Gramm, thanks for working to repeal Glass-Steagall in a completely partisan bill, directly leading to the mortgage crisis. I hear McCain has his eye on you for Secretary of the Treasury.

Exactly. And if that does not work he can send his slum lord after him and take away those 7 houses, Chicago-style.

Obama has less than a 10th of McCain's money, virtually all of which he earned by writing books. McCain abandoned his wife after she waited for him to return from captivity and married a beer distributors daughter to become a millionaire. Get the fuck out with your equivalence.

Obama made up to 1.1 million in 2006, and about 4 million in 2007.
under mccains joke, thats not rich. Obama thinks he is rich, though, and is willing to up his taxes by something like 750,000/year.

mccain and his wife have 100 million. slightly different. they are 'incredibly rich'. the obama's are 'nominally' rich

What'll he say? "The rich get richer and the poor get poor?"

ie he knows as much about the economy as McStain.

Obama is a self made family man; who along with michelle made their wealth not through business ownership, but simply hard work and smart investment.

He's definetly well off, but to call him incredibly rich is overstating things; his net worth is around 4 million, versus McCain's personal networth of 20-30 million, and his combined family assets with Cindy in the hundreds of millions.

Not to mention, he started off as a senator's son, and then married into more wealth.

I agree overstating it.

somehow i doubt that

you may not agree with his policies, but he's at a different plane altogether than McCain.
 
Are you Kidding me? He just said cut capital gains tax? He clearly said he is RAISING the capital gains tax 20% as soon as he gets in office.

Get it straight :/
