1. Obama, certainly, which isn't to say that there isn't something to Thompson's |

despondent, barely perceptible slurring of language, coupled with his corpse-like affect, that doesn't send chills down my spine.

14. Exactly. I was stupefied by it. It was as if he'd swallowed a pint of Haldol |
|
and stuffed house slippers into his mouth.

23. Big pink fuzzy ones, I think. |
|
And wasn't it kinda sad when all the people were walking off the stage *before* he gave his non-speech, and he was yelling "Thank you!" after them, at their backs?

24. LOL! Yes. It was pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Someone should take |
|
the man home and put him out on the porch to stare into the back yard.

2. Obama ...just watched him at the Ebenezer Church on CSpan ... |
|
Fred Thompson is an actor. He needs to go back to Law and Order reruns.

5. LOL! I was thinking this must be a trick question. |
|
Obama gives very inspiring speeches; Fred puts everyone to sleep, assuming they weren't asleep or comatose before he started.

9. I gotta ask, what is THAT about? |
|
Is the OP known to be a Clinton supporter or something?
Surely sarcasm was implied...or, for you Obama supporters, you know this is a slam?
See, these damn catfights are confusing the hell out of us who are reading through here. People need to put their friggin intentions right out there so we don't have to waste any more time wondering what the real intentions are.
We have enough energy wasted in that regard listening to politicians and media.

12. Jeez, no. I just couldn't think of a more ridiculous comparison. Obama, by anyone's |
|
estimation, is extremely stirring while the only thing Fred Thompson seems to be stirring his his DentuCreme.

16. The question was asked.....and I chose to answer the question in a out of the box way.... |
|
cause I'm not a robot.....and what I wrote was exactly what I thought (since I was watching her on TV at the time).
If you are uncomfortable with my answer, that's really too bad.

18. I wasn't uncomfortable. I don't give a shit about the animosity... |

between Clinton and Obama supporters.
Was just trying to understand your intention by jumping in with that since it was, as you said, VERY out of the box.
