Update: VP Debate

Have you ever heard such a moving speech from an influential & powerful individual (Joe Biden) and then moments later, it's all ruined by someone whose oration was so half-assed you are suddenly reminded of what 5th grade was like? It was like watching Joe Biden as himself debating with Peter Griffin (Family Guy) - minus the humor - in a sophisticated designer dress & blazer combo ..... LOL!

That was how I felt while watching the Vice Presidential Debate last night. In one corner, Biden gives a rhetorical comment about John McCain's billions in tax cuts for the oil companies. In the dark corner of the room, Palin seemed foreign to all questions asked of her - I had to maintain my focus on BIDEN B/C I COULDN'T TAKE ANYMORE OF THE "MAVERICK" & "JOE SIX-PACK AMERICAN" BULLSHIT.

Biden provided facts while Palin vividly described her "middle-class" life in Alaska and the "soccer mom" advertisement she has repeatedly used to death. Can she really empathize with the middle-class b/c that was how she lived "most of her life" in Alaska? As I told my friends....that "likeness" is similar to comparing SOUTHEAST VS. NORTHWEST Washington, DC. If you live in DC, you know what I'm talking about. And why the hell do we need to be reminded of fearing a possible money crisis? WE ARE IN A F*CKIN' RECESSION - YOU BIMBO!!!! IT IS NO LONGER "FEAR"....WE ARE WAY PAST FEAR! I AM PAST FEAR! AND I'D LIKE TO BE PAST YOU BUT IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO THOUGHT YOU SOMEHOW DID AN "ASTONISHING" JOB LAST NIGHT. SHE WAS ASTONISHING IN DODGING QUESTIONS AND RETORTING TO WHAT SHE "THOUGHT" WAS IMPORTANT. I'm surprised she claimed to be thinking that night b/c she clearly had her cue cards.

Overall, Joe Biden did a superb job. He mentioned John McCain's vote against funding for troops and his lack of knowledge on our economy which he's made clear by now that he absolutely has no clue. Also, he says that he and Obama will be ending this war in Iraq. Good b/c we need 2 smart & practical people whose got a great understanding on our economy & the war and address the country's current issues on affordable health care, deficit to surplus, etc. We don't need another "war freak" in the office who is oblivious to concerns regarding the environment among other things.

GO OBAMA-BIDEN!!!!!!


P.S. THE HOUSE JUST PASSED THE "FINANCIAL RESCUE LEGISLATION" aka BAILOUT BILL!!! HHHMMM....
