    I really didn’t like this week’s TWIB. It seemed rushed and Mr. White you seemed agitated as if something struck a nerve and you just wanted to get something out. Either way I feel like you did well but I think the “45 minute” gaps kinda…ehh a bit much. But again, very well done and I love your work.
    And the black gentlemen in the video where he says “all these shady characters that have surrounded him(Obama)” Really buddy, are you sure…? Now if I could only think of some shady characters for McCain….OH! Phil Gramm(one of three architects for the deregulation of the Glass-Steagal Act in 99′, how do you hedge greed? with fear, thanks Phil for helping out with the credit crunch were in now by taking away the fear of becoming too big(as a bank), Dick(and yes I know Gramm is no longer McCain’s ‘main’ economic advisor anymore as of 7/18/08)), Charles Keating(SNL, and no that doesn’t stand for Saturday Night Live), Meg Whitman(She’s the best you can come up with for a ‘potential’ Sec of Treasury), Carly Fiorina(Oh ma Damn – Like a flame-thrower to a fireworks factory). And those are 4 from the top! Oh and the fear mongering that goes on at the McCain rally’s, holy hell…seriously people please read, or google something, or google the above names. Please I implore you to not let ignorance be your greatest strength.
    Oh and on a side note, EP#8 – Sexual Harassment, astounding. The degredation that rappers thrust upon people with lyrics such as these does not help AT ALL. Pandering to people by talking about bitches, guns, and money…uhh grow up society. I respect you very much for saying what you said and just like Tim Wise, someone give you a hug too! Oh, and uhh…yea the song, catchy as shit hah!

    @Common White Guy(Seriously)- Don’t forget William Timmons (former lobbyist for Iraqi dictator SADDAM HUSSEIN)just named as McCain head presidential transition team, terrorist group the Contras, and Oliver North (who helped US sell $48 million in battlefield missiles and other weapons to Iran and help finance the Contras, also McCain supporter). Just to name a few more shady associates of McCain.

    Touche’! Yea, I’m not saying that either one doesn’t have there fair share of “questionable or shady” characters. The fact is though, McCain has had a much longer time to accumulate them! And with more tactful poise, the people he(McCain) has surrounded himself with have done far worse than anyone that Obama has surrounded himself with. And Yes, Obama DOES have some questionable people around him, but who doesn’t.
    My point being that even though Obama has them, I feel like they are highschool bullies that have been around for a short amount of time and can be easily managed.(And no Bill Ayers doesn’t count, read the truth about how he’s connected, people seriously, stop calling Obama a terrorist for fuck’s sake…) Some of the people that McCain has surrounded himself with have made it a life long goal to pillage and plunder.
    Either way I have a bad feeling if Obama gets elected. Don’t get me wrong, I would love that, but I live in a pretty rural community where the ‘good-ol-boy’ clause is still in effect. People that pander to fear and racial slurs really just have no place in society and this is what I see in my home town *sigh*.

    HAHAHAH Oh no I wasn’t being touche’ I was agreeing with you. That’s all.

    I was a undecided/Hillary support(NOT A PUMA) voter until after the first debate, but now I am a Obama supporter.

    So wasn’t being tough on you or anything. HAHAHAH

    Hahah, oh no no no cjlatina. Since the alphanumeric keys for western hemisphere keboards don’t allow orgin language hyphenation, like the little sqiggly line ‘~’ or ” ‘ ” over some letters (spanish N for example) or other grammer in other languages, the little thing was for “Touche’”. You know, like when someone comes back at you with a clever or a well thought out response, at times I will say “touche’” where the ” ‘ ” should be DIRECTLY over the E. It’s French and is used in fenching for acknowledging a hit. Either way, was giving you props lol! Like, oh damn, forgot about Will Timmons, touche’! (Good point) Hahah, sorry, I have now in depth explored how white and nerdy I am with you lol! But I love learning and I guess we all learn something new everyday, consider yourself LEARNED! Hahahah! :-) It’s no worries though, I understand how some might mistake it for slang, instead of a ‘y’ a person might use the ‘e’ in “touche”. Ok, I really have to stop talking lol. Talk to you soon! You watch the debate tonight by the way…? Tell me how it went, I had to go to the hospital for my Gma.

    LOL I thought you meant touchy but you meant touche’ as in “kudos”. HAHAHAHAH I feel so stupid right now. hehehe

    Yea I watch the debate and John McCain fell to sway me in anyway. I really hated the part when they were talking about abortion and when John McCain did the quotation marks sign with his finger when he was talking about a woman’s health. I felt he was kind of belittling it a bit like it wasn’t that serious. I also felt that Barack Obama was a little bit better, but kind of flat on some issues. I felt he didn’t explain enough on somethings.

    And the Joe plumber thing was over done in the debate.

    Other than that I nothing new in my eyes. I am still leaning towards Barack Obama.
