Obama “The One”?
McCain camp spoofs rival with trinket cufflinks
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Good or bad, you can’t accuse the John McCain campaign of not having a sense of humor.
The Republican presidential candidate’s staff handed out cufflinks — yes, cufflinks — on Tuesday to surprised reporters with an unexpected decoration on top: a mock presidential seal for rival Democrat Barack Obama and the Illinois senator’s web site.
That’s not all. On the back, carefully engraved, were the words “The One.”
Subtle? Not so much. The Arizona senator’s aides often poke fun at the messianic quality they feel Obama assumes and his supporters accept. Both sides have grown increasingly negative as the campaign enters its last month and McCain finds himself slightly behind in the latest polls.
Obama used a faux presidential seal on a podium at a campaign event earlier this year, drawing some ridicule and criticism for being presumptuous. He never used it again.
The Obama camp was not amused.
“People are struggling, and they want to hear about what these candidates are going to do to fix the economic crisis,” Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said. “It’s unfortunate that the McCain campaign is instead focused on these silly distractions.”

I haven’t heard a thing from Bambi that’s gonna “fix the economic crisis”. Nothing on his website, not in his boring ass speeches nor his ruminating gesticulations on stage during debates.

-still not sure who is better for the economy, as I am ignorant on that 
but I trust Mccain on security issues
October 8th, 2008 at 1:52 amI’m not sure how to fix the economy either but I know spending more sure isn’t the way to do it. At least McCain is suggesting reigning in the budget and slashing.

October 8th, 2008 at 7:50 amI’d trust McCain. Neither man is right. But problem is Obama a) doesn’t know crap about the economy, even though he had a huge role to play in this crisis and b) will be worse than Clinton before looking at polls to see what to do. And if you think the average Joe knows what to do…..oh welll can you say “Est ist zeit für rache. Wir mussen die Weiß aussrotten” It should proove very uselfull living under the National Socialist American Workers Party, Or as I like to sa NAZI’s [Can’t exactly change the letters around to Obamafy it. :mad:]
lol, they should’ve mailed the cufflinks to Obama. A letter enclosed should say “Good Luck!”
