FACEBOOKBarack is winning the smile campaign too...supposedly since his teeth are bigger and whiter, he's more likely to win. I'm a Republican, but I have to admit that Barack's smile is pretty nice! Look what this poll says:
Barack Obama: Brad Pitt "Got the Better-Looking" Genes
Friday March 28, 2008
Friday March 28, 2008
Yep, Barack and Brad are indeed related.
"I guess we're ninth cousins removed or something," the Democratic presidential hopeful, 46, confirmed on The View Friday.
"I think he got the better-looking side of the gene pool," he added.
Barbara Walters then told Obama she thought he was "very sexy looking," according to video posted on abcnews.com.
The interview took a serious turn when Obama was asked about the controversial remarks made by his pastor of 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. (Wright said that the U.S. was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.)
"Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he said deeply offended people — and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws — then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying there at the church," he said.
Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked Obama if choosing Wright as his pastor showed a lack of judgment.
"I think he's saddened by what's happen, and I told him I feel badly that he has been characterized just in this way — and people haven't seen the broader aspect of him," Obama said.
As the race for the nomination heats up, he said he can take any punches Hillary Clinton may throw his way.
"You know, I'm pretty tough," he told Joy Behar. "Look, I think the way to handle attacks ... is to answer honestly, swiftly, forcefully and truthfully.
"Truth is a powerful weapon."

Spoken like a true white-trash cracker. Get out of the 19th century dude. Your people were probably just poor, dirt farmers with no education and nothing to their names. Some things never change.

This guy has no soul. Just look at his eyes, they are so dark, there is nothing good about him and when this stupid ignorant country votes him in he is going to be singing a different song. Just like everyone voted in George Bush because he said he was a born again christain and look how christian his behavior was. Oh it just makes me so mad because once again people are going to vote in someone who is going to be worse on us than even president bush.

5:25 you are a gigantic fool. Don't you know that by voting Democrat you condone abortion? You traitorous idiot.
Ah, let me guess, another "Christian" throwing around rude, insulting, non-Christian like names. I think your lord would disapprove, but then again he'd probably disapprove of most of the things so many American Christians support, such as hatred towards non-believers, negativity and the acquisition of more, more, more. I doubt he'd approve of you spending your time on this site either.

BRAD PITT MIGHT HAVE THE BETTER LOOKING GENES (HE HAS ALREADY LOST HIS LOOKS), BUT HE HAS HUGE LACK OF BRAIN. THAT'S WHY HE IS CALLED STU-PITT, EVEN AMONGST ACTORS. BRAD PITT IS SAID TO BE THE DUMBEST ACTOR EVER.
============================================
Whatever. Most actors I've heard have said he's smart. Plus, he still looks good for his age. Give him a break. He's 44. He's not going to look like he did in the 90s.

It's disgusting how people are fawning over this man. I am not fooled by his apparent charisma or charm-- he's just giving lip service and as soon as he gets the chance, he'll sing a different tune, to the dismay of our country and the world. Just wait and see--we'll be soon complaining that he is not what we thought.

Obama says everything we want to hear, and think he's the next M.L.K. Jr. What a weirdo. Why doesn't he focus on more important things than if he's related to an actor. BIG freakin' whooop.

I was actually pro-McCain and have always voted Republican until I saw Barack Obama on the View. He is intelligent and a class act. Our country needs him.

barack has a great smile, is smart and very charismatic with a sense of humor. so that's why he seems sexy.
brad on the other hand is a former teen idol who left his wife for a crazy vixen. so that's why he seems shallow.
that said i'd still take either one of them any day. my guy has let himself go if you know what i mean. lol

4:37 - "Not many people in their forties look good."
WHAT?!? WELL THOSE GEEZERS SHOULD JUST SHRIVEL UP AND DIE THEN, HUH?
3:05 - "What kind of person who is trying to become President of the US does not put their hand on their heart or say the pledge"
WHAT?!? OBAMA DIDN'T PLACE HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART FOR THE ~NATIONAL ANTHEM~ (NOT THE PLEDGE), WHICH AMERICANS DON'T EVEN DO ANYWAY. YOU FELL FOR THAT LAME STORY?
2:26 - "White Hating Church"
WHAT?!? YOU DO KNOW THAT OBAMA IS HALF WHITE DON'T YOU? AND THAT THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST IS 99% WHITE?
2:24 - "There is just too much evidence against him that he is hostile to his own country."
WHAT!?! AND THE EVIDENCE IS....?
HOPE YOU PEOPLE ARE KIDDING AND DON'T REALLY BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET OR SEE ON THE NEWS. STOP BEING LAZY AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH BEFORE YOU QUOTE OTHER PEOPLE'S STUPID STATEMENTS. GOD BLESS AMERICAN BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY NEED IT!

Ambrosia, I feel very sorry for you. I also feel bad that you are completely ignorant to our country's history. That being said radical Christians scare me as well. But you can't say all Christians are bad. Shame on you!

We're also known for being a national of insular, ignorant people who care about nothing but how it effects America. Leave your little village in the woods and actually get to know people outside the States and you'll see that any good will we had after 9/11 is gone thanks to our current "Christian" president who has run the country into the ground not to mention what he's done to Iraq. And as for what the bible may or may not say, we're already doomed if we're making our political choices based on a biblical book which was written in a coded manner for the people of it's time and not as a prophecy for us now. Besides that if you're such a believer that you look to the bible for political inspiration what are you doing posting on a site that is all about hedonism, gossip, adultery, etc? Typical "Christian" hypocrisy. Give me an atheistic for a president any day!

I can't even believe I'm commenting on this page, but I just wanted to see the clip of our next president on "the view" and couldn't help noticing some of the extremely ridiculous comments. Let me preface this by saying that I typically vote Republican and am a somewhat conservative Christian, so lets just throw out the assumption that I'm a crazy liberal democrat just trying to defend my candidate. People, it cannot be denied(whether you are Democrat or Republican) that this man is one of the most intelligent, well spoken, and down to earth candidates we have ever had. He is a man of integrity (as shown by the fact that he didn't just write off his pastor for saying some un-pc things and that he has done VERY little mud slinging throughout his campaign. Most everything was on the defense) and anyone who doesn't respect his candidacy and true chance at winning the white house is showing their complete lack of intelligence. Isn't it interesting how his biggest following are well educated citizens as opposed to simply the liberals and blue collar workers typical of the democratic party? He was president of the Harvard Law review for crying out loud! Who doesn't want a president who is likable, well respected and smart?? Okay, I'm off my soap box. Obama '08!!
