The last time I goofed on him for dancing with DeGeneres, he was trailing Hillary by 20 points. Good times, good times. Anyway, proof positive that the man is not God: God would know better than to dance (mostly) with his arms.
Seriously, it’s getting freaky out there. Dude.

If we were as viscious as the Odrones, we’d be saying Obama doesn’t understand McCain’s war injuries PREVENT him from raising the roof.
Obama = hapless idiot.
BKennedy on October 22, 2008 at 5:03 PM
They concur he’s a “better dancer than John McCain”, but that’s not racist, you see.
capitalist piglet on October 22, 2008 at 5:03 PM
Hang in there, Grandma, I’ve got dancing to do!
BuzzCrutcher on October 22, 2008 at 5:04 PM
Did Obama ever make it with a hot brazilian chick?
Good job, Mac. Good job!
lorien1973 on October 22, 2008 at 5:05 PM
In a sane world, that clip would doom Obama.
Vashta.Nerada on October 22, 2008 at 5:06 PM
Hmmm…Michelle is a better dancer than her half-black husband who is a better dancer than an all white man? Nothing racist there.
You now, Obama just isn’t funny. Ambassador to the Ellen show?
Sue on October 22, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Yeah, I was going to bring that up. Has he visited her yet? I thought he was taking two days off.
capitalist piglet on October 22, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Ellen looks more manly.
On the “Seriously, it’s getting freaky out there.” – it’s so great that it’s finally coming to an end (if Nov. 04 will decide it).
Entelechy on October 22, 2008 at 5:07 PM
I bet Barack is a better dancer than his grandma right about now.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 22, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Buzz,
I was thinking that myself. Grandma’s dying and I’m dancin’ with Ellen.
Sue on October 22, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Nice…real nice Obambi, comparing your ‘dance moves’ with those of a POW who had many bones broken and not treated during his captivity.
Keep on keeping it classy!
Gothguy on October 22, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Did he slip The Carlton in there?
Dubn8tr on October 22, 2008 at 5:08 PM
It’s tough to suck more than Rick Astley at Arm Dancing, but The One manages it.
moc23 on October 22, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Ya know, I don’t really give a crap that Odopa is going to destroy this nation if he wins….that man can dance.
Obambo/Ginger Rogers ‘08!
Bishop on October 22, 2008 at 5:08 PM
I found that statement insulting. He still has not apologized for that ad about McCain not using e-mail. Obama is an ass and jerk.
He can’t dance either.
It makes me dislike him even more.
jencab on October 22, 2008 at 5:08 PM
I realize it’s just normal campaign goofing on your opponent, but, considering that John McCain definitely can’t dance smoothly because of his POW wounds, probably not the best joke to tell.
JadeNYU on October 22, 2008 at 5:08 PM
I think I’ll become a racist.
Onager on October 22, 2008 at 5:09 PM
i am a better dancer then Obamas grandmother, but i am white so i think that is racist.
custer on October 22, 2008 at 5:09 PM
You can tell he’s half-white. Only a white guy would dance like that!
Badger40 on October 22, 2008 at 5:09 PM
Malformed Error
txsurveyor on October 22, 2008 at 5:09 PM
So he is voting Obama to bring on the end of the world?
abinitioadinfinitum on October 22, 2008 at 5:10 PM
Anybody else getting the “Malformed Error” message? Seems like it’s happening a lot lately with the CNN vids.

Will this start a new trend of “Barack-Rolling” ??
moc23 on October 22, 2008 at 5:10 PM
When Obama loses the election, I fear he will replace the Rickroll with the Barackroll.
Vashta.Nerada on October 22, 2008 at 5:11 PM
jencab, this just speaks to his personality in general. Remember, this is the guy who flipped Hillary off, pretending to scratch his nose. The one who essentially called Sarah Palin a pig and got away with it.
He’s got the maturity of a ten year-old boy when it comes to this stuff. The guy is in a state of arrested development, I swear.
God bless Senator McCain.

LOL, Sir.
BKennedy on October 22, 2008 at 5:12 PM
All this spontaneous dancing doesn’t seem traditionally Western or American to me. It makes Obama look like some kind of outsider, which he is, of course, but why accentuate it?
JiangxiDad on October 22, 2008 at 5:12 PM
That’s not a nice thing to call your new messiah.

You know his “typical white person” Gramma can’t dance, fool.
marklmail on October 22, 2008 at 5:13 PM
No, she’s white too. So you must both suck. / racist
capitalist piglet on October 22, 2008 at 5:13 PM
I read the “Obama will hasten the return of Jesus Christ” conjecture to infer that Obama is the anti-Christ.

“Snorting cocaine” is another term for “black crackhead”, you racist.
Bishop on October 22, 2008 at 5:14 PM
His grandmother is “gravely sick,” yet he is “dancing” like a fool.
Obama is a manchild as Rush says.
jencab on October 22, 2008 at 5:14 PM
Yet, no evangelic Christian in America has a clue who he is. Nice. Yeah, nobody bigger than Dr. K.A. Paul. Nope. He’s HUGE.

DeweyWins on October 22, 2008 at 5:15 PM
And here’s the irony: If McCain is shown this clip, and says, “Yes, he does dance better than I do,” do you know what will happen?
I do.
capitalist piglet on October 22, 2008 at 5:15 PM
I’d like to see Obama go to a prison camp and get beaten for five and a half years and see how HE dances!
No. Really. I WOULD.
Star20 on October 22, 2008 at 5:16 PM
If I were at this event, I’d be pretty pissed. He’d rather dance on the TV than talk to the crowd? People spent time getting there; and he turns his back and talks to a national audience instead.
But, hey, vote for Obama. He won’t turn his back on you when he’s in office.

What’s with people voting one way or another to hasten the second coming?
Last I checked in Christian theology, we were tasked with being the best people we could be and told to serve our fellow man. I don’t recall anywhere in the scriptures where it said, “Vote for the person that you think is going to bring on Armageddon.”
JadeNYU on October 22, 2008 at 5:16 PM
Obama: “Elect me. I can dance better than that crippled old guy.”
CliffHanger on October 22, 2008 at 5:17 PM
It’s American, and I don’t think he looks like an outsider at all. I just want to know why the hell he isn’t in Hawaii, if his grandmother is “gravely ill”, as has been reported.
capitalist piglet on October 22, 2008 at 5:18 PM
Prayers for Obama.
He’s obviously upset about his ailing granny. He’s shaking with grief.
He leaves for Hawaii on the emergency visit tomorrow, doesn’t he?
aquaviva on October 22, 2008 at 5:18 PM
Who’s the better combat pilot?
Had Obambi been imprisoned in the Hanoi Hilton, he would have danced like this, naked if he had to and laughed at by his captors, rather than endure what Mac endured.
Bishop on October 22, 2008 at 5:19 PM
McCain should go visit Obama’s grandmother today.
Ronnie on October 22, 2008 at 5:20 PM
No, more like indigestion. And “White Man Overbite”
Brat on October 22, 2008 at 5:21 PM
I loved how the Grandma comment smacked the smile off his face as if he was caught yukking it up at Ron Brown’s funeral.
econavenger on October 22, 2008 at 5:22 PM
Check it out, Obama just did the White Man’s Overbite.
Oh, that’s gotta be racist.

LOL, Odummy walks in and finds Mac sitting at her bedside, assisting her with an absentee ballot with a checkmark next to “McCain/Palin.”
Bishop on October 22, 2008 at 5:22 PM
I love how Ellen has just given Obama/Biden a free pass on gay marriage.
Biden: Neither Obama nor I believe in gay marriage but on the other hand, I’d vote on Prop 8
Ellen: Okey dokey!
WTF???
The Ugly American on October 22, 2008 at 5:23 PM
That’s because Michelle is really JAMES BROWN IN A DRESS!!!!

The donks have prepared the seedbed nicely, haven’t they? Intimidation is so cool.
a capella on October 22, 2008 at 5:24 PM
Mac’s mobility issues are not only due to his torture, they are due to the fact that joint surgery and rehabilitation were in the Dark Ages when John McCain needed treatment.
My own father can barely walk. Back when he had knee surgery, they believed you had to get rid of all the cartilage and fluid from the knee. His mobility or lack thereof is not indicative of his overall health.
Sekhmet on October 22, 2008 at 5:24 PM
What’s that four-syllable word?
Effeminate.
albill on October 22, 2008 at 5:24 PM
Financial crisis, voting fraud, two wars, unemployment on the rise, and he is dancing on Ellen’s show.
My God…
I hope McCain is asked about this, and he says “while I and others were caged and beaten, he was probably dancing about that also, we have a lot of problems to resolve before there is dancing in the streets.”

He really is a horrible dancer. His wife is decent, but he looks so awkward that he reminds me of a very mellow Carelton from the Fresh Prince.

I think Sarah Palin showed more rhythm on SNL. You would think Obama would have more rhythm….. oops, was that racist?
AverageJoe on October 22, 2008 at 5:31 PM
Eh, I give Ellen a pass. She’s generally soft on these political guests and was real sweet when Bush’s daughter was one, I forget which one.
Yeah, Republicans have the bad reputation on that one even though Obama and Biden both have stated that they will not bring about gay marriage, but we get a bad reputation on most things we don’t deserve.
Esthier on October 22, 2008 at 5:31 PM
I hope “gravely ill” granny hangs in there for a few more days while Barry makes the talk-show circuit before “rushing” out to see her.
Texas Rainmaker on October 22, 2008 at 5:33 PM

“Just don’t talk about my dancing anymore.”
Seriously, don’t talk about his dancing anymore, Ellen. That’s an order straight from the One. You don’t want to end up in a concentration camp.

So McCain gets all kinds of grief for postponing his appearance on lame-a$$ Dave Letterman’s show to do a serious interview before he headed back to D.C. to work on the financial crisis, but Obama is friggin’ dancing on Ellen’s show when his grandma is on her death bed?
Got it.
Y-not on October 22, 2008 at 5:41 PM
After watching him dance, I know one thing for sure…Barack’s not going to fall for a banana in the tailpipe.

*sigh* there go my delusions of godhood….
sulla on October 22, 2008 at 5:44 PM
When will Bill Ayers be on Ellen? She should have had him and Barack on together to talk about things. I have a feeling she could break some news if she had a chance to interview them together.
econavenger on October 22, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Nope. It isn’t. American politicians don’t traditionally dance at campaign events. And he spent much of his childhood outside of the US. His father is Kenyan, and didn’t live here long. His mother didn’t seem to have much use for the US either. He’s been to school in a madrassa, recited the Koran, attended a BLT church for 20 years, consorted with known terrorists and communists.
No Sir. It’s not American. Not my kind.
