Watch the VIDEO HERE.

"Surprising Facts About Barack Obama"
10. My first act as President will be to stop the fighting between Lauren and Heidi on “The Hills.”
9. In the Illinois primary, I accidentally voted for Kucinich.
8. When I tell my kids to clean their room, I finish with, “I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message.”
7. Throughout high school, I was consistently voted “Barackiest.”
6. Earlier today I bowled a 39.
5. I have cancelled all my appearances the day the “Sex and the City” movie opens.
4. It’s the birthplace of Fred Astaire. (Sorry, that’s a surprising fact about Omaha)
3. We are tirelessly working to get the endorsement of Kentucky Derby favorite Colonel John.
2. This has nothing to do with the Top Ten, but what the heck is up with Paula Abdul?
1. I have not slept since October.

The Republican National Committee put out its own list Thursday night before the broadcast.

Ahead of his Letterman appearance tonight, the RNC’s Top 10 reasons Barack Obama isn’t ready to be commander-in-chief:

10. Thinks our enemies will be peaceful if only we invite them over for coffee.

9. Yes? No? Present.

8. $1.52 gas? Vote to suspend the gas tax. $4 gas? Support the gas tax.

7. MoveOn.Org & Howard Dean = Obama’s "New Politics"

6. Chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Subcommittee in name only.

5. Guns are something voters "cling" to because they’re bitter.

4. Religion is something voters "cling" to because they’re bitter.

3. Withdraw from Iraq now, but return if al Qaeda in Iraq takes hold in Iraq.

Yikes... yeah, I would agree, the RNC top ten was written by some very twisted individuals. Not funny, just disturbing.

i am obviously not surprise with the America people´s choices for presidents now and in the past,because if you take the case of George W.Bush as an instance,i wonder wether they actually voted for him,but again when i remember that the sane people in AMERICA are fewer than the mad people then i remember why he won,now they are considering MCCAIN OR CLINTON when they have a God sent like Obama to lead that great country,it is time to live racism out of campaign and unify around this young candidate to lead America to it is potential as the leader of the world.
MCCAIN must go to war with IRAN if insulted by Amedinejad and CLINTON will liar to us to go to war because a sniper fire almost hit her when she visit russia or china.

First, I support Obama. Just so I'm clear about that. Second, this past week or two, ABC has been blatantly pro-Clinton. During the PA primary, ABC was clearly pro-Obama. Who was expected to win in PA, before everyone was paying attention to the state? (where I live, for what little that's worth) Who was expected to win Indiana and NC before the PA primary was done? ABC doesn't support either candidate, it just supports the underdog so the race stays close and the ratings stay up. Just like all the other media. Raise your hand if you're surprised...

Oh, and since we seem to be required to point out why our candidate of choice is the right one, based on media distractions, I'll mention that Obama had a racist crazy-person for a pastor. I've had family members (and their friends) who are just as bad, and I can't always avoid speaking to them or being around them. Clinton seems to be a pathological liar (not the only one in politics). Why are people criticizing Obama for the behavior of another person, while ignoring the flaws and mistakes of his opponent? Honest question, I'm curious about why this matters.
