Obama: concussion drove me into White House race

22 minutes ago

Democrat Barack Obama joked Wednesday that the true reason he entered the White House race was concussion.

"Why did I start running for president? I got hit on the head with a rock," the Illinois senator told a seven-year-old girl who questioned him on his motivation at a "town hall" meeting in Indiana.

"When I woke up, I'd made my announcement and then it was too late. No, I'm teasing," Obama said to laughs.

This man is humor impaired.

I'll gladly take 4 years of McCain's self-deprecating humor to Obama's sophomoric bombs.

It says a lot about McCain that he can laugh at himself. Obama, on the other hand, is thin skinned and arrogant.

[N. Theknow]

How about a commercial with Hugo Chavez and a bunch of OPEC-ites crying over a tire gauge and howling “We’re Doomed!”

Ann Coulter has an excellent take on that exact subject called: HOW TO KEEP REAGAN OUT OF OFFICE

Please stop, Ears. I can't breathe, I'm laughing so hard at your jokes. You're just so hilarious.

...not

I think you’re reading too much into this. Lots of Presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle have said they must be a little crazy to undergo such a campaign.

[Mr. K]

OK folks we have a lot more important things to worry about... Besides, it was a cute thing to say to a little kid and I think I might have said something similar.

[PeterPrinciple]

The kid could interpret the remark literally

I can remember as a kid being pretty loud and my Mom coming into the room and saying. “With a voice like that, you will make a good preacher.” I remember thinking, If I stay loud, I have to become a preacher. I’m not sure I want to be a preacher, maybe I will be quiet. Mom got here desired result.........maybe.

The only way he’ll get my vote is if I get hit in the head with a rock. I really wouldn’t be personally voting for him, however, whoever the dems assign to use my name will.

[normy]

he’s trying to show he doesn’t take himself too seriously. In other words he is refining his image.

[McGruff]

No, I'm teasing," Obama said to laughs.

Teasing the children?

Don't quit your day job. What is your job anyways? I know, I'm teasing.

[Carley]

Make a perfect PSA.

This is your brain on drugs.

[WakeUpAndVote]

Hey, I got hit in the head with a rock too! Can I be your VP?

[maggief]

See Cocaine mess’s up your brain

Maybe he was stoned.

Probably a “ROCK” of coke thrown at him by Larry Sinclair!!!

[Royal Wulff]

OMG. Somebody alert the McCain campaign to immediately suspend operations. They are at serious risk of putting this bumbling fool out of the race before he even gets nominated.

[Zombie Lincoln]

If elected, Obama would be the first president to have smoked crack.

I weep for America’s future

[Brilliant]

It obviously did not hit him hard enough.
