Chris Rock Stumps for Obama in Tampa
Email
You can listen to Chris Rock stumping for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., HERE courtesy of the St. Petersburg Times.
Rock jokes that people struggling economically need a president who understands what they’re going through.
"When you go to somebody for help you want somebody who can relate to what you have to say," Rock says. "Like, if I have problems getting laid, I wouldn’t call Brad Pitt ’cause he wouldn’t know what I was talking about."
He cited Sen. John McCain’s myriad houses as evidence that the Republican doesn’t get it.
"McCain was on MTV’s Cribs 15 times," Rock joked. "This is not the guy you want to be president…McCain probably had financial problems too, but we can’t all do what he did. We can’t all dump our first wife, marry a rich one and have all our bills paid."

Give the O-man credit, he knows how to call a spade a spade. He predicted that it was going to get ugly and he was right, at least about that.

Chris Rock spread some of your WEALTH to your Family. Or are you like Obama who wants to make it a law forcing Americans to give up our money so Obama can give it away to Welfare Queens. Obama refuses to with ALL HIS MILLIONS and his rich American Hating wife to spread his wealth,. Not even one dime did he give to his poor illegal alien aunt

So we should trust Obama who could not afford the house HE wanted so he went to Rezko and “worked” a deal so he could “buy” it.
Guess we all can relate to that, huh?
PUMA!

JOE the Plumber should of been a role model for the all working Democrats until JOE realized what Obama really stood for. Then the Obama scum did not stop their. They invaded his privacy and threatened him. WAY TO WIN WORKING PEOPLES VOTES DUMBOCRATS

leelee.again, Obama made an offer of 85% of the asking price for his house. It was the highest offer received, and it was duly accepted. Making an offer for 85% of the asking price is not a crime. It’s not even unusual for a house that’s been on the market for some time and hasn’t sold. It’s hardly a sign of shocking shenanigans.
The fact that people like you are still desperately going on about it says volumes though.

Reading the comments listed here is a great reminder that we have become such a hateful country. So easy for everyone to spew ugly, hateful remarks rather than have a honest debate about the issues. I truly pray for this country. Maybe one day we can all grow up and be respectful of one another regardless of what political party we belong to. Remember the words–Respect, Maturity, Honor???

Obama thinks he can buy young people’s votes with this! How demeaning! :(
But,
Which is better for our economy: Obama redistributing our wealth or McCain growing more wealth?
Obama will take more money from the Americans who already pay the great majority of income taxes and “spread the wealth” to many who don’t even pay taxes to begin with in the form of a government check. :(
Obama thinks it is his right to redistribute wealth, but it certainly isn’t the view of the average American worker, and it is obviously wrong.
McCain thinks the way for America to prosper is to leave Americans with more of their income, allowing them to do what they do best — create the businesses, jobs, and opportunities that drive our vast economy.
Government has to be paid for, and that money comes from guys like Joe the plumber. Politicians can either bleed him dry to fund their programs, or they can encourage Americans to create more jobs and more wealth – and keep government limited and effective.
It is your choice!
This former democrat and Hillary supporter voted for McCain/Palin 08! They are America’s only choice for authentic reform! :)
