perhaps this year’s presumptive party nominees just aren’t funny enough to sustain a full two-minutes of satire...
=====

What? Are you kidding?? Not funny??? Maybe, you are right; they are not funny if you think about it: changing position five times on owning/disowning his "uncle" Wright, liberating or not liberating Auschwitz by his other non-existent "uncle", while the Americans are losing mortgages to foreclosures he gained profits from his 15 years friend Rezko, Jesse wants to cut off his your-know-what, wife finally became a proud American for the first time, voted to eavesdropping on every citizens without check and balance by broken his promise, oh, did I mention public financing, withdraw or not withdraw from Iraq, NAFTA good or bad. Talking about promises it becomes countless to count.

Which one would not last for 2 minutes?

perhaps the only way to survive another coronation is a little humor and satire. in the end after the ballons drop and the cheering stops and the lights go out, the extras get sent home. while the ruling class will go about their grotesque lavish lifestyles with our money, while we, (the wage slaves) more divided than ever (which pleases the rulers) are left to ponder, do we buy gas, or groceries?

It's hilarious! It's interesting though that Obama doesn't show more of a sense of humor. I wish he'd just laughed off the NYer cover. He took it too seriously. Now, every yahoo's gonna take it as his own emblem of his candidacy.

C'mon man, get a grip. Get this campaign back on track!

It was good but not all that funny....I think New Yorker cover was better and says it all about Obama....This is really how most of Americans see him.....If the media wants to say all the things that are out about Obama are not true then prove it.....Obama connected to wright and wright connected to Farrakhan...And wright was very important and close to Obama..And this is why the American people say Obama is a Muslim...

Oh, please, PCC....!!! Enough with the muslim and Rev. Wright stuff! It's old and either a blatant lie or just irrelevant. And the New Yorker cover was SATIRE! Or, maybe you weren't able to read the articles inside, which made that very clear and debunked the garbage.

I say Jib Jab on Splitnation. These guys are still funny after all these years.

It really doesn't matter if you read the article or not. There has been too much conflicting information from OBAMA himself. Information has been found regarding him that totally contradicts what he has said about himself and then you have his own statements about people and their race. His wife has also made statements that people have not accepted well. To top it off he has no experience. In 143 days of office, that is all he has to show for his political career, not to mention no votes or shows on important issues. He might make a good candidate at a later point in his life-right now there are just too many questions about him that need to be cleared.

George McBush's excellent experience credentals have resulted in over 4000 soldiers dead, a failing economy, mortgage crisis, company closings. Need I say more. Maybe we need an Harvard eduacated man instead of the twin of a C student born into privilege

Besides the Jib Jab Stuff lets look at what reports say about how Mccain Vs Obama would be regarding taxes;
CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000
per home (couples) McCain does not
propose any change in existing
home sales income tax.

OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales

How does this affect you?
If you sell your home and make a profit, you
will pay 28% of your gain on taxes.
If you are heading toward retirement
and would like to down-size your
home or move into a retirement
community, 28% of the money you
make from your home will go to taxes. This
proposal will adversely affect the
elderly who are counting on the income
from their homes as part of their retirement income.

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN 15% (no change)

OBAMA 39.6%

How will this affect you?
If you have any money invested in stock
market, IRA, mutual funds,
college funds, life insurance, retirement
accounts, or anything that pays
or reinvests dividends, you will now
be paying nearly 40% of the money
earned on taxes if Obama become president.
The experts predict that 'higher
tax rates on dividends and capital gains
would crash the stock market yet
do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN (no changes)

Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750

Under Obama your taxes will
more than double!
How does this affect you? No explanation
needed. This is pretty
straight forward.

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax

How does this affect you? Many families
have lost businesses,
farms and ranches, and homes
that have
been in their families
for generations because they could not
afford the inheritance tax.
Those willing their assets to loved
ones will not only lose them to
these taxes.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA

* New government taxes proposed on
homes that are more than
2400 square feet

* New gasoline taxes (as if
gas weren't high enough already)

* New taxes on natural resources
consumption (heating
gas, water, electricity)

* New taxes on retirement accounts
and last but not least....

* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine
so we can receive the same
level of medical care as other
third-world countries!!!

TINABV-
Source please. Anyone can spout numbers without factchecking. At justa quick glance, I see several misrepresentations.

Sick' em Tin......the truth should be set free........voting for Obama means higher taxes.

Ah TINABV-
I found your source: an exact word-for-word (cut and paste) CHAIN E-MAIL that has been debunked by the Anneberg Political Fact Check (FactCheck.org).
FactCheck's response "Alert readers mat hava already noted that this chain e-mail does not provide links to any of Obama's actual proposals or cite any sources for the claims it makes. That is because they are made up. This widely distributed message is so full of misinformation that we find it impossible to believe that it is a results of simple ignorance or carelessness on the part of the writer. Almost nothing it says about Obama's tax proposals is true. We conclude that this
deception is deliberate."

TINABV-
Further FactCheck.org states "Our own sourcves for the following are Obama's own Web site and other statements, interviews with Obama's policy advisors, and a comprehensive analysis of both McCain and Obama tax plans produced by the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, plus additional sources to which we have provided links.
* Home Sales: Thes claim that Obama would impose a 28 percent tax on the profit from "all home sales" is false. Both Obama and McCain would continue to exempt the first $250,000 of gain from the sale of a primary residence($500,000 for a married couple filing jointly) which results in zero tax on all but a very few home sales."

I quote further from the same source as identified in the previous post:
" * Capital Gains Rate: It's untrue that Obama is proposing a 28 percent capital gains tax rate. He said in an interview on CNBC that he favors raising the top rate on capital gains from its present 15 percent to 20 percent or more, but no higher than 28 percent.And as for a 28 percent rate, he added, "my guess would be it would be significantly lower than that."

"Furthermore, he has said only couples making $250,000 or more (or, his policy advisers tell us, singles making more than $200,000) would pay the higher capital gains rate. That means the large majority of persons who pay capital gains taxes would see no increase at all.

*Tax on Dividends: Another false claim is that Obama proposes to raise the tax rate on dividends to 39.6 percent. Dividends are currently taxed at a top rate of 15 percent, and Obama would raise that to same rate ase he would capital gains, somewhere between 20 percent abd 28 percent but likely "significantly" lower than 28 percent.
This higher tax also would fall only on couples making $250,000 or more or singles making more than $200,000."

Continued from above posts:
"Taxing IRAs and 529s: Contrary to the claim in this e-mail,raising tax rates on capital gains or dividends would not result in higher taxes on any investments held in Individual Retirement Accounts or in popular, tax-deferred "college funds" under section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. The whole point of such tax-deferred plans is that dividends and capital gains are allowed to accumulate and compound tax-free, and neither Obama nor McCain proposes to change that. And as previously mentioned, any capital gains or dividend income from stocks, bonds or mutual funds owned outside of tax-deferred accounts would continue to be taxed at current rates except for couples making over $250,000, or singles
making more than $200,000."

TINABV- Further
"* Doubled Taxes? The claim that "Under Obama your taxes will more than double!" is also false. The comparative rate tables this e-mail provides for McCain and Obama are entirely wrong, as we explained in an earlier article March 13 about another false e-mail from which these tables are copied. It is supposedly a comparison of tax rates before and after the Bush tax cuts, but it grossly overstates the effect of the Bush tax cuts. Furthermore, Obama proposes to retain the Bush cuts for every single level shown in this bogus table"

"Estate Tax. The claim that Obama proposes to "restore the inheritance tax" is also false, as are the claims that McCain would impose zero tax and that Bush "repealed" it. McCain and Obama both would retain a reduced version of the estate tax, as it is correctly called, though McCain would reduce it by more.
The tax now falls only on estates valued at more than $2 million(effectively $4 million for couples able to set up the required legal and financial arrangements). It reaches a maximum rate of 45 percent on amounts more than that. It was not repealed, but it is set to expire temporarily in 2010, then return in 2011, when it would apply to estates
valued at more than $1 million($2 million for couples), with the maximum rate rising to 55 percent."

"Obama has proposed to apply the tax only to estates valued at more than $3.5 million ($7 million for couples), holding the maximum rate at 45 percent. McCain would apply it to estates worth more than $5 million ($10 million for couples), with a maximum rate of 15 percent. "New Tax" Falsehoods: The e-mail continues with a string of made-up taxes that it falsely claims Obama has proposed. He has not proposed a tax on new homes with more than 2,400 square feet, or a new gasoline tax or a tax on retirement accounts. The most laughably false claim is that Obama would tax "water."

TINABV? chattyway?
Hello? Did you bail on me? Ah, probably spewing the same ol' lies on another blog.
LOL
