Obama! You are running for President..what a comic!

AMAZING. I got this off the Fox News website. On Tuesday, for the third time in four days, Obama borrowed a lengthy bubble quote from Washington Post cartoonist Tom Toles. He did not acknowledge the origin of the quote the first time he used it and credited the cartoon only after the Post contacted the Obama campaign to ask about the first use.

“John McCain says he’s about change, too. And so, I guess his whole angle is, ‘Watch out, George Bush. Except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics … we’re really gonna shake things up in Washington,’” Obama said during a rally Tuesday in Lebanon, Va.
As it turns out, Toles’ cartoon in The Washington Post last Friday depicted McCain addressing the White House with the caption: “Watch out, Mr. Bush! With the exception of economic policy and energy policy and social issues and tax policy and foreign policy and Supreme Court appointments and Rove-style politics, we’re coming in there to shake things up!”


Here is a man running for President of the United States getting his dialogs from the comics! Ok, picture this...Obama is sitting down with Ahmadinejad and he is at a loss for words..."hold on sir I need to pull out my funnies!" If this qualifies one to be president ...maybe I should run.. after all I really liked Dick Tracy.

And today, on September 11th, it is worthy to mention the reason we need to vote in the right candidate for President. I hope you'll take some time to think about it. It shouldn't take that long.

Paul,
Your comment that you could run for POTUS because you really liked Dick Tracey made me laugh right out loud! Good post!
