It’s OK if he’s cooler, as long as they don’t vote for him.
Adlai Stevenson was cooler than Ike, too, but he lost big.

McCain, on the other hand, has admitted he's a big fan of the '70s-era Swedish disco band ABBA and an "illiterate" when it comes to using a computer. He turns 72 next month, and if elected, he'd be the oldest president in American history to begin his first term.

The mantra of the press and, Obama's staff through their "friends" in the media, will be:
McCain is old, senile, and has cancer in temporary remission.

John can say farewell to his friends in the MSM. He is literally "Old News".

I’m really slick
I know every trick
And I can get a chick
‘cause I’m in the clique.”

The "boxers or briefs" crowd knows so much about nothing.

“He refers to better music than McCain.”

JayZ. Howl! That statement says a LOT about BHO.

"Obama is a tad cooler than McCain on probably 57 fronts," said Emily Goulding, 25, of Los Angeles. "Obama's better looking than McCain, Obama's more stylish than McCain, Obama's more fit than McCain. He refers to better music than McCain."

YAY Government Schools! You have taught our younger generations that the person who should lead this country must be COOL!

Well then slap some skateboarding pads on him and put him in a Mentos commercial. The Presidency is a serious job.

Well, CLEARLY he is more qualified to be president then, isn’t he?

The authors of that phrase should have described what they meant by Democrats.

I’m sensing about as much contempt re Obama, the Oreo, with the older more traditional democrats as with us.

Last week on a walk in our neighborhood, I passed two of the traditional women democrats talking to each other while still in their cars, (one was leaving the cul de sac, and the other was coming in).

I said hi to both of them and asked where their Obama stickers were.

The older gal said, “No way in hell!”

The one my age said, “You won’t see one on any of my vehicles!”

Hopefully, I will be able to follow up and find out why the hostility.

I am cooler that John McCain.

Even my cousin’s pet rock was cooler than John McCain.

Let Obama host Saturday Night Live.

Probably the same young people who find drugs, free sex, and total irresponsibility “cool”.

More proof positive that this undereducated generation of “youths” aren’t capable of the serious thought necessary to participate in the process of electing a President. There should be testing prior to getting a voter card, like you get tested for competency in other important areas of life. As the dumbing down of our society continues, sober thought needs to be given to the basic fact that those that have no clue are actually selecting our next leader. This is like letting a 12 year old get behind the wheel of the family car and “navigate” in major traffic.

I think another song works better for obama

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
Ive been everything you want to be
Im the cult of personality
Like mussolini and kennedy
Im the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

Neon lights, a nobel prize
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You dont have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
Im the smiling face on your t.v.
Im the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me

I tell you one and one makes three
Im the cult of personality
Like joseph stalin and gandi
Im the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your gods name
Im every person you need to be
Im the cult of personality
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
Ive been everything you want to be
Im the cult of personality
Like mussolini and kennedy
Im the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

Well, since being cool is the greatest of requirements for POTUS, I say we go all the way with this “American Idol” type election and call in or text our votes.

Press 1 for Barry. Press 2 for Johnnie Mac. Phone lines will be open until midnight... And don't forget that these are 866 numbers, not 1-800 numbers. If the phone lines are busy, try again. You may call as many times as possible... Good luck to both of our contestants!...

Whoever said “Youth is wasted on the young” had it right in this case.
