ME! ME!

BO does his 'street cred' spiel when he wants to be hip. I see it more as the
"preacher-featured" voice as he tries to rile up the crowd. He spoke it during the Annie Oakley speech. Another little habit he has is the post-zinger reaction. He'll make a statement, the crowd reacts and he collapses his posture. It's a "come-on! I don't deserve your applause" reaction. False humility. Check it out.

At least we don't have to put up with the screecher!

I know what you're talking about. It's his "aw shucks" type reaction.
I personally love Bo's reaction when someone really riles him. Watch for
the pursed lips & furrowed brow.

Going back to religion for a second.

Bill Maher is a dope.

He made some statements about the Pope that were totally disrepsectful.
He was called on it and said he would apologize on his program and didn't bother.

Yeah, First Amendment and all that, but be accountable.

Typical White Person Alert.

I was watching the sports news and the announcer was doing the golf scores.

All of a sudden he says something like, "How many jackets does a redneck need?" He was talking about a white golfer named Boo Weekly and his win at some Classic or Open.

I thought, "Hmmmm, Maybe one of the spokespeople for rednecks will come to his defense."

------------------

And in hindsight......

What would have been the backlash against BO had he included NASCAR or Ford pick-up trucks as things that people in Penn. cling to?

I tend to avoid both politics and religion like the plague!

Well the polls have been open in Pennsylvania for about a half hour now. I am so glad to see this day arrive. The commercials on TV are relentless "I am Barack Obama and I approve this message." "I am Hillary Clinton and I approve this message." I don't know how I will get through the general election in my right mind.
