Technically, Bill Clinton is younger than he is by a year or two...<BR/><BR/>I think Obama looks a ~lot~ younger to his eye, and I think that's the problem. I also think that as he ages he feels less apologetic about his blue collar roots and is slightly mistrustful of anyone who hasn't spent a lot of years getting their hands dirty. <BR/><BR/>And, if you look at his 4 kids, the one only one who is college educated and not living hand-to-mouth now lives an entire continent away. On some level, it's the ones who are "different" that hurt the most. I think my father-in-law sees a little of my hubby in Obama, and wishes things were different.SWEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567663448928052303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-26271496886003584202008-10-08T18:51:00.000-07:002008-10-08T18:51:00.000-07:00Is this the first time one of the candidates is yo...Is this the first time one of the candidates is younger than your father, SWE? Even in America, we tend to equate youth with inexperience. This is the first time I'm voting for a candidate who is younger than I, so I know it's a bit of an adjustment.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-57671901016588495862008-10-08T18:08:00.000-07:002008-10-08T18:08:00.000-07:00Ah, one last thing:Check out thegreatschlep.com we...Ah, one last thing:<BR/>Check out thegreatschlep.com website with Sarah Silverman providing an intro.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-26851467912680696132008-10-08T18:05:00.000-07:002008-10-08T18:05:00.000-07:00A liberal is a conservative who has been mugged......A liberal is a conservative who has been mugged...<BR/>...by Wall Street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-48274656877037031202008-10-08T10:22:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:22:00.000-07:00Hey, at least he accomplished something good befor...Hey, at least he accomplished something good before he left office!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123159428544560989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-66239171673032590672008-10-08T04:36:00.000-07:002008-10-08T04:36:00.000-07:00He's a uniter, not a divider.He's a uniter, not a divider.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-76928318431156718032008-10-08T04:29:00.000-07:002008-10-08T04:29:00.000-07:00Well, you're lucky.

Just like McCain's health plan, they give with one hand and take with another.<BR/><BR/>George Bush has done another impossible thing, this time in PA. He's got my father-in-law so worked up and frazzled that he believes McCain's fearmongering nonsense and will actually go from being a lifelong Democrat (from a family of Democrats-you should see my grandmother-in-law get going, and her reading list is always awe-inspiring) to voting McCain. <BR/><BR/>We put it down to blind terror of how they're going to make ends meet and McCain agrees with him that all is horrid and then tells him not to worry 'cause as long as there's no "empty shirt" whippersnappers around everything will be okay after all. Doncha know. <BR/><BR/>I have fantastic amounts of respect for my father-in-law, but it sure does hurt to see him turned into a cranky old man who is scared of his shadow. Because that is not him at all.SWEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567663448928052303noreply@blogger.com
