I’m not a supporter, let alone the substantively incorrect use of the word “didact” that you claim I am, of Obama. It just does little good to the conservative cause to relate his campaign to the Jefferson’s.

I assume that most people don’t have such a generous reading of the Jefferson’s, nor would they be keen to compare them to the highly achieved senator.

Oh, and good use of a thesaurus.

Interesting, but I think you are reading your own biases into my post.

As a longtime fan of The Jeffersons, I was making the overtly obvious link that both are nouveau riche, African-American families who move into a predominantly white dominated demographic, (in both business and social cicles) and then struggle to develop ties into this alien world which brings to life occasionally fractious and/or comedic, relationships and social intercourse due to the tightrope they walk between the two worlds.

Not sure what you were thinking… but maybe you should analyze your own self rightous pontification before you designate yourself the didact of the Barak Hussein Obama cause.

That said, I do believe both he and his wife are socialists and his support of affirmative action policies are, prima facia evidence (making promotional and hiring decisions based on race rather than skills, accomplishments and education), that he is a racist.

Way to play the race card. It’s good to know that you wear your idiocy on your sleeve!

This was nice, I must say. Everybody is following the Huck! They actually used the words Merry Christmas!

It’s head and shoulders above both Hillary’s and Edwards’ ads.

Agree with you, Bryan. When Hillary asked where she put the universal pre-K, I wanted to reach through the TV and strangle her. Edwards is just an ideological teenager.

I strongly disagree with his political views, but damn if that wasn’t a good Xmas ad.

Good show, Barack.

Whomever wears the pants in the family should speak first when delivering that message. Of course, She speaks first; with all the vim and vigor of a 21st Century infomercial millionaire selling her deepest most closely guarded get-rich-quick scheme.

…I really loathe that woman

Very well done — the guy may be a political lightweight in terms of experience, but he’s by far the most affable on the Dem side.

the stake line didn’t bug me as much (he inflected it pretty well) as that cheesy chuckle he let out at the very end

Happy Gestalt from Osama.

What the heck is he talking about? Star Wars has a better system of epiphenomenalism

Is that Oprah theology?

Man…those are some cute kids. Not as cute as my daughter, but that goes without saying, really.

Good ad. Unlike Hillary, his charm is effortless.

The wife was ok in this but I still think she’s a nut. Kids are adorable, good job overall. Simple and effective.

Yeah, the dog hanger. They could have had him in the ad hanging a dog ornament on the tree.
