    Can someone give a brief description of the Obama and Romney vids. I don't think I can stand listening to either of them right now.

    1. Res Publica Americana   14 years ago

      Obama: SCOTUS upheld principle that no sickness or accident should lead to financial ruin for any family. God BLESS A M E R I C A !

      Romney: http://wallpaper4me.com/images.....ry_w1.jpeg

      1. CockGobbla   14 years ago

        Just let me know when TEAM BLUE stops doing their little brag dance.

      2. Auric Demonocles   14 years ago

        SCOTUS upheld principle that no sickness or accident should lead to financial ruin for any family.

        I really hope the ad is nothing like that. But I wouldn't be surprised to hear Obama not mention the constitution in regards to a SC ruling. And I'd be amazed if he addressed anything about it being a tax.

    2. Rich   14 years ago

      Obama: You can keep your insurance.
      ** slaps dust from hands **
      On to paying down the Debt!

      Romney: Many will lose their insurance.
      ** spits in hands **
      On to paying down the Debt!

    3. Auric Demonocles   14 years ago

      Romney and McConnell were both actually pretty good (with the exception of Romney saying that people with preexisting conditions should be guaranteed healthcare). I couldn't stand to try listening to Obama's (especially not when he makes it that damn long).

  2. Bam!   14 years ago

    Romney: I'm going to do on day one what SCOTUS failed to do.

    Obama: *Joker laugh* It's all part of the plan.

  3. Tman   14 years ago

    Barf is not a strong enough word for the Obama video above.

    It needs something stronger.
