posted at 7:15 pm on January 25, 2008 by Allahpundit
Is number eight really any kind of big pledge? Anyone who’s president is going to carry that out, no?

Well Obama did say he would appoint Republicans to his cabinet
William Amos on January 25, 2008 at 7:17 PM
I think Mitt should appoint Obama to the Secretary of Lookin’ Good post. That would be a nice compromise.
congsan on January 25, 2008 at 7:23 PM
Funny stuff. BHO has a good sense of humor. He can laugh at himself and the process. He seems to be a likable guy. Too bad politics will beat that out of him very soon.
Which presidential candidate would not do something like that? Or would they all jump at the chance?

I don’t know who is more stupid, Obama for doing dumb stuff like this or people voting for him because he does dumb stuff like this and not on the issues he represents.
Bullboski on January 25, 2008 at 7:26 PM
Worked for Bill… play the sax, get elected.
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on January 25, 2008 at 7:30 PM
Man, that was just asinine.
TheSitRep on January 25, 2008 at 7:41 PM
As with all things Letterman, this was not funny at all. I think Obama is a cool guy for doing it though.
Baphomet on January 25, 2008 at 7:44 PM
Vice President Oprah!
BTW, can Bill run for the VP slot? Constitutionally, I mean?
BJ* on January 25, 2008 at 7:45 PM
Thank God BHO did not dance during the show
custer on January 25, 2008 at 7:47 PM
That was funny?
boomer on January 25, 2008 at 7:51 PM
Not funny. Only another opportunity for Obama to claim the Messiahship and be the “cool” candidate without having any actual good positions.
amerpundit on January 25, 2008 at 7:54 PM
I believe so. The line of succession would skip to the Speaker of the House. *shudder*
KSgop on January 25, 2008 at 7:56 PM
So this is the best type of tripe those guys that went on strike can come up with ?
SIJ6141 on January 25, 2008 at 8:00 PM
Moderately funny, for very low values of moderate.
ErikTheRed on January 25, 2008 at 8:07 PM
Mitt Romney deserves to be President of Lookin’ Good. Not Secretary.
CABE on January 25, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Actually, I got a kick out of it. A nice break from serious politics. I have said before though, if Mc’Vain or the Huckster are our candidates, and Obama is the Dems, I will vote for Obama. I have my reasons, and I am sticking to them. Good to see he has a sense of humor though.
MalkinFan on January 25, 2008 at 9:20 PM
meh it’s not like Nixon:

It was a toss up between Silky Pony and Mitt.
F15Mech on January 25, 2008 at 9:28 PM
The top (and only) reason Barack is even being considered for the presidency of the world’s sole remaining superpower with his pathetically paltry qualifications and experience:
-melanin content of his character.
If he had had a Caucasian daddy, too, he’d be larding pork on some obscure committee and no one would have ever given him a second glance.
A lightweight of Kusinichian proportions.
profitsbeard on January 25, 2008 at 9:29 PM
And Letterman is such a cool guy for having him on for some free publicity. Think he’d do that for Rudy or Mitt? Not a chance.
Hannibal Smith on January 25, 2008 at 9:44 PM
I’m with you. I don’t agree with any of policies, but I don’t think our side has a chance in hell of winning this time around.
I’ll be voting for him in the primary, who knows what will happen in the GE. Maybe I’ll just start drinking again.
Dorvillian on January 25, 2008 at 9:51 PM
If Barak will wrestle a gator if you bring one to the White House, would that include Tim Tebow?
Bigfoot on January 25, 2008 at 10:00 PM
I already am.
MalkinFan on January 25, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Ouch. That was pretty funny. I hate it when liberals are funny.
Kevin M on January 25, 2008 at 10:48 PM
Liberals know that Mitt will be an “easy kill” in the general.
Chakra Hammer on January 25, 2008 at 11:14 PM
As opposed to McCain-Feingold-Kennedy or Rudy “undead army in my closet” Guiliani?
BKennedy on January 25, 2008 at 11:36 PM
How about: “I promise not to insist on pre-screening the questions, before making an appearance on Letterman”?
ToddonCapeCod on January 25, 2008 at 11:56 PM
There’s a better chance that an asteroid will hit earth than I’ll vote BHO-but that was funny.
Little Boomer on January 26, 2008 at 12:11 AM
Credit where due: Barack did fine with this; contrast his 10 promises with the 10 HClinton did on the Letterman show a few months ago. It’s the entire campaign in a nutshell: He’s likeable, she’s not. And this IS a popularity contest.
In all honesty, I wish the Republicans were running a candidate younger than 60 for the nomination.
Willie Nelson sang: “Old age and treachery,
Always overcomes youth and skill.”
Not always,Willie.
(For those interested, it’s from his album with Waylon called “Clean Shirt”)
Doug on January 26, 2008 at 12:59 AM
Romney has problems of his own, a 16-18% Mormon problem(discount it all you want it’s not going anywhere)
Then he’s got a truthfulness, flip-flop character flaw that cannot be repaired.
Chakra Hammer on January 26, 2008 at 3:54 AM
Assuming it’s split evenly (which I doubt), that makes it an 8-9% Republican problem.
Meanwhile, Rudy has a much larger “Pro-Life” problem, compounded by the fact he’s not exactly the example of Catholic living.
BKennedy on January 26, 2008 at 6:34 AM
At this point, Rudy or Mitt are both fine with me. Especially if they Pick Fred! for veep. (my Fred08 bumper sticker stays) The dems are taking a huge hit right now. For them it is all about race and gender, and we should be capitalizing instead of trying to kill our own. Mccain may not be conservative enough on some issues, but if you think Barack would be a better choice, I have a one click cure.
Mitt may have flipped, but where did he flop?
myamphibian on January 26, 2008 at 8:34 AM
I just feel that these types of appearances are incredibly un-presidential. While they may utter a few funny one-liners, they cheapen the office. I don’t agree with Huckabee when he states the American people want their president to be like the guy they work with rather than the guy who laid them off. I want my president to be someone I look up to and can respect, even if I don’t agree with him all the time.
sheesh on January 26, 2008 at 10:37 AM
I’m with you. What the hell is this shit. I thought he was running for President of the United States. I mean were talking leader of the Free World. In a time of war. Our loved ones are sacrificing their lives for the cause of Liberty. FREEDOM! LIBERTY! These are sacred ideals. They are dying for these ideal and for us. Dying! Giving all they have and all they ever will have and our candidates are clowning around. What are we electing a Clown in Chief. I am disgusted. Pathetic. Damn.
ronsfi on January 26, 2008 at 12:28 PM
So far this year 28 brave soldiers have sacrificed their lives on the Altar of Freedom as Lincoln put it. This putz is goofing off on Letterman. Outrageous!
ronsfi on January 26, 2008 at 12:33 PM
and this is different from his “real” campaign how??????????
jdsmith0021 on January 26, 2008 at 1:56 PM
Was that suppose to be funny?
oldernslower on January 26, 2008 at 4:02 PM
Was that suppose to funny?
oldernslower on January 26, 2008 at 4:03 PM
whooops…must of had a delay…I apologize for that altho not my fault
oldernslower on January 26, 2008 at 4:04 PM
That’s “wrassle“.
SocklessJoe on January 26, 2008 at 8:00 PM
Did Letterman say that was coming from the Home Office?
Tzetzes on January 27, 2008 at 4:34 AM
Does anyone else remember when the President of the United States of America was THE most respected office in this nation? Does no-one care that it has now been denigrated to such a low standing that running for that esteemed office is more like “Survivor”? I am sick of it all. I think I will call it quit with the politics and go stick my head in the sand.
annexwcp on January 27, 2008 at 9:05 AM
I cannot place exactly when I stopped laughing with David Letterman.
I believe it was the moment I realized he was laughing at me, not with me
