. . .so he surprised everyone by making a right hand turn?

this is a damned if you do, damned if you don't for him.

Hope Michelle doesn't get hit by a t-shirt and pull a Maude Flanders.

This is Fark, and Obama going to a NASCAR event is political news because it's odd and out of place for him. Hardly a troll.

I'll give the guy props for trying, but this is kinda silly. Why? It's not gonna win him any votes (maybe a handful, not enough to make a difference) or any money (not like he needs it after his 'opting out' of public finance). It will just become fuel for ads showing him getting booed and jeered.

Priceless! Great episode.

Obama's comment about gun ownership definitely helped me get over my bitterness about the GOP pushing McCain.

5h4wn:Troll all you want, Obama is still going to win. Why don't we discuss how to make sure he follows through on his policies instead of these stupid threads?

HAHA!

Like there won't be enough threads biatching on that if he wins!

To everything there is a season.

It's like McCain going to a rap slam.

I'm sure this will go well.

Obama is going to have a hard time following through on anything if the economy goes as bad as expected.

NYZooMan:It's like McCain going to a rap slam.

I hate you but that was funny

Actually, I think it's more like McCain going to a NASCAR race.



/Come on, let's face it, neither one of them would be there if they didn't have to pander.

Sad thing is, it's probably going to work.

This is the type of stuff politicians do that makes me cringe. I just hope he doesn't get as bad as Hillary was with these gigs -- Hint: when they ask you questions you don't know the answer to at deals like this, just say that you don't know; don't try to b.s. an answer or you'll just sound like a fool.

So, what does Obama talk about at such an event? Energy dependence (as he's choked by the hydrocarbons of thousands of internal combustion engines?) Gun control? FISA immunity? Middle East policy? Hope (he gets off the stage soon?)

There's no win. No one goes to NASCAR to get pandered too, they go to get drunk, watch shiat go fast, or sell stuff to those that are getting drunk and watching said shiat. I guess it is an audience that, for him, is hard to reach, but trying to capture their attention during their "recreation" time is a losing proposition.

Take out more TV adds during races or reality shows. Anything more than that, and it's an "inconvenience."

Politicians = Democrats.

This is clever stuff. First you hide the Republican failure by saying "all politicians are the same", then you equate Democrats with politicians.

Nice one.

Obama might as well show up at the Westboro baptist church. He'd be about as welcome. This is not the place for him to try to engage these people. not when they're all concentrated and their necks are all a brilliant red. It'd be like Bush visiting the 9th ward or Compton. Although those people would actually have a reason to hate Bush these people don't need a reason. They've been told by their master Talk Radio to hate this guy.

and the majority of it is divisive demagoguery from the corporations to keep the people from uniting and overthrowing their control of the govt.

So, these 'people' you speak of so fondly, do you mean white people? Southern people? Baptist people? People who may work outdoors? People who listen to talk radio? Who exactly is this mass of people of whom you speak?

Clinton was jeered and booed because the NASCAR fans knew the reason he was there, and it was blatantly disingenuous and insulting. They would have the same reaction to Obama or McCain.

I'm not a fan of Rush by any stretch of imagination, but I don't think sweeping statements like this are the best way to get that point across. It's sort of like the "20 years of inflammatory comments" talking point that got dredged up so many times during discussions on the Wright (non) issue.

What are you going on about now? I just read your inane comment regarding Nazis in the "Triumph of the Will" thread ("They would be completely forgotten if American and British right wingers didn't spend their days fellating them and their nights dreaming of them." -- I'm still marveling at the sheer stupidity of that tidbit), and now this -- you've got me pegged as some Republican shill? That should be good for some laughs.

Must say, you're not the sharpest tool in the box. But by all means, do go on with more of your fascinating perspective on things.

"Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. . . . He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh . . . Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves." -- Ezra Klein

Obama is going to have a hard time following through on anything if the economy goes as bad as expected.

But it's all gone south since the Democrats took over Congress! Let's completely ignore that economic effects are often not felt for years after their causes and that it's because both parties have been spending money like drunken sailors, giving sweetheart deals to all their friends, etc.

How is it a troll? I provided quotes as to why some people would think those who support obama might be a tad fancied with him.

Clinton was accused of pandering? He's gonna take it to a whole new level. Obvious to everyone but these die-hard idiots. Just write in Al Sharpton and be done with it.

JohanW:Obama's comment about gun ownership definitely

Which one?

Obama isn't going to win over the 2nd amendment crowd until he purges "hunters and sportsmen" from his vocabulary. No, scratch that. With his record, he's not going to win them over, period.

Isn't the real news there was a black man at a NASCAR race?

Well, political rhetoric (especially from ditzy celebrities) is generally pretty distasteful. But quoting ten people hardly establishes a baseline for assessing the views of Sen. Obama's rather numerous supporters. I suspect that a great number of those who intend to vote for him in November simply perceive him as I do - the least objectionable of our (rather limited)* choices.
Anybody who thinks he is going to fix everything (or anything) overnight and all by himself is either a fool or caught up in the madness of crowds.
Let's face it - we are ALL responsible for the state we have allowed our country to get into. And we are ALL going to have to fix it. If we sit on our asses and wait for some savior (from the left OR the right) to come to our rescue and fix everything for us, we're screwed.

Hint to Obama: STOP TRYING TO WIN OVER VOTERS THAT WILL NEVER VOTE FOR YOU.

All you do by flashing love toward evangelics and rednecks is piss of the people that want to vote for you.

No redneck will vote democrat. No evangelical will vote democrat. It's life, deal with it. Court everyone else.

Yeah, blatant pandering, that oughta work.

Realistically, I doubt most of the bitter gun clingers are smart enough to vote anyway.
