Fuck its silent in here.......

I'm enjoying the people bitching about traffic and the airport and the like because Obama flew in to vote.

Yes, your shitty flight is more important than the president voting. Get over your worthless life.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is that better? Citizenry's complaints about their worthless lives are to be disregarded, but the inconveniences caused by the President's need to drop in on a Thursday afternoon at rush hour so he can cast the all-important votes for Bobby Rush, Barbara Flynn Currie and electrical aggregation a few days early should trump all!

When is it ok for the president to visit his hometown? Or is it not ok when he's a democrat?

I didn't hear about any trips to Nairobi.

Barack Obama should just stay in the White House and never go outside.

I'm not even bothered by the complaining, people can piss and moan all they want. I'm bothered by the woeful unfunniness of zingers like The One and The King. Leave that bush league hackery to puds like John Kass - you're better and funnier than that, TJ.

It's perfectly OK to visit his hometown, and honestly, I wish he'd be here more often. I'm just wondering why the wouldn't find a time and a location more convenient for everybody, as after all, isn't early voting (or absentee voting as Pen pointed out) all about convenience? He could have hopped off his plane on the tarmac, and voted at a Northwest side early voting location. He could have voted on Saturday morning. When is he planning on coming into town on Election Day? He has until 7 pm on Election Day, although his polling place is, weirdly, a Mormon Church.

A friend of mine posted on Facebook earlier this week that Paul Ryan's motorcade SHUT DOWN I-75/85 through downtown Atlanta during rush hour. D-U-M-B. Shame on both guys' advance teams for not thinking more clearly about the great unwashed.

How about, it's 2012, why don't you post a video of yourself filling out your mail-in ballot to YouTube where you'll reach a broader audience than the 6 o'clock news anyway? (assuming your method of distribution isn't our YouTube thread.)

Because his campaign is pushing early voting in a big way as a part of their GOTV strategy. Not absentee voting. Early voting.

So, they have a photo op of him doing so himself: the first President in history to vote early in person. As lame as that may be as far as Presidential milestones go, it's still an attempt to find a newscycle hook to advance their campaign strategy.

OK. That's kind of funny.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

Holy crap. 

I mean, I'm terrified of Corn Dogs, but that's bizarre.

Well, I think the ad is trying to promote the idea that she has been in South Dakota, living like other South Dakotans while he has been everywhere but South Dakota promoting cap-and-trade which can't be popular in the booming energy industry in the Dakotas (and binge drinking). If the ad were 2 minutes shorter, it might even be effective.

I can't believe in all this discussion of motorcades shutting down expressways, nobody (and I'm looking mainly at Huey) brought up that fucking horrible Gary Meier/WGN Radio commercial.

I hate you, Gary Meier.

It's Garry, with 2 "R"'s, and I've always hated him.

This can't possibly be true, can it?
