Damn. I wish I could get Halle Berry to feel that way about me.

Of course, it wouldn't be for picking up paper cups that she would be most useful.

I AGREE

Should have left well enough alone.

****.

That chanting in the background really IS creepy. IMO going in this direction is a big mistake for the Obama campaign.

That's true. I've heard she's also a mean C++ coder.

It's not put out or endorsed (AFAIK) by the Obama campaign, it was independently made (as was the other one) by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and Jesse Dylan.

I would also like to point out that my reasons for supporting Obama are entirely sober and realistic.

Please, please, tell us what they are so I don't have to listen to his poetry anymore.

Mostly foreign policy.

(what does the slide show of Obama's early life have to do with "King Obama"?)

The page MaGZ linked to uses frames, so I think he must've linked to the wrong picture on the gallery by accident. The the 22nd picture has "King Obama" carved into some cement at the prep school he went to, although the caption notes that a representative of the school is of the opinion that the word King was carved by someone else. It's still somewhat of a weird thing to link to, but it's somewhat more coherent if I'm right.

Indeed. It was the 20th picture when I loaded it just now and looked around.

Here's the caption:

Quote:

While a student in the late 1970s, Barack Obama carved his name in the pavement outside the cafeteria of Punahou School. A representative of the school said she believes "King" was written by another student.

That would make sense since the "King" appears to be written with a thinner stick than "Obama" was.
