Barack Obama might be courting the ever-important geek vote by reaching out to Comic-Con in the hopes of making an appearance there, according to reports. No, we are not kidding. Now, we've got no idea what Senator Obama might be wanting to do there, aside from the fact that he could very well be a comic book fan, but we think it's pretty damn cool, nonetheless.
Wouldn't it be hilarious to see Obama at the convention engaged in some cosplay, or waiting in line to meet Brian Michael Bendis or some such? Now that's the audacity of hope, friends, and we LOVE it.
Bam! Kapow!: Obama Reveals Secret Identity?

what next Luke Cage or some other bullsh t.
Your Moms should go dressed as Wonder-Mutt, or Howard the Duck, you stereotype hugging f k.
It's not like we have anyone else to vote for...
Hilary is riding the wave of "I'm a woman." and Osama is riding the "I'm a blackman" wave.
Hussein Osama has no history. We don't know enough about this guy. For all we know, he could be Bin Laden after a facelift without his towel over his head.
I don't like McCain, but he's the less of 3 evils.
I give the guy credit for actually serving our country.
Our soldiers are the TRUE heroes, not some drugged up Hollywood junkie that is found dead in his room after having a rough night in the bath house.
Its popular because the fastest growing religion is islam(never mentioned how it grew btw hint hint). I like and dislike Obama. 1st He doesn't seem stupid when speaking in front of world leaders, 2nd he has some good ideas like the transperendy bill, but i dont like the fact he is Pro-Choice or his opinion about stem cells. I mean hell, we already found out a way to create our own stem cells from adult DNA and its even safer and more effective. I even hear its cheaper. So why are we holding on to using abortioned babies?
Hussein is not an "Islamic name", but it does have Arabic origins. Arabic does not equal Islam. In fact, there really is no such thing as an Islamic name (before anybody brings up the name Mohammad, the Islamic prophet was named that before the religion even existed). As for your feelings on his political views, I can respect that even if I don't necessarily agree with it. However, your points on stem cells are woefully inaccurate. Yes, scientists have figured out how to make pseudo stem cells from adult cells, and it does appear to be very promising as a solution, but the process is decades away from being usable. As for the use of aborted fetuses, that has never been the case. Scientists wish to use stem cells from unused frozen embryos in fertility clinics that are going to be thrown away anyway.
BTW, Obama never sang "Bomb Iran"...

Osama is very close to this man.
Supposing McCain worshiped a White supremacist and had his kids baptized by the same racist anti-Black hate monger... you wouldn't be concerned?
Racism goes both ways sister. Newsflash... Blacks are also capable of hate.
Scientist were pushing on using abotioned fetuses for a while, i didn't hear anything about using embryos. Thanks for the information, so now the only question remains. Why aren't we funding this faster?(lol)
cogadh - He is leaning towards socialism, like much of the far left. That is after all what being "left" is. as for stemcells.. stemcells from dead babies are still decades away from being useful. also stem cells found in fat, were said to be more promising than dead babies, and yes im ok with them using embryos being tossed, but they had pushed for dead babies. as for obama being a muslim. The guy came out of no where, and the only thing we know is his father was a muslim, apparently he may have been a former muslim, and his wife hates black peopel and america and his preacher hates white people jews and america. I dont see a problem with him being a muslim, i see a problem with the fact he's hiding his past.
codeazreal - your comments are ignorant.
Your statement of "southern stupidity" is very ignorant and way off the mark. Do you not realize that Obamma is winning the south? I am one of the many people from the south that is proud to say that I will and have voted for an african-american man with a name that comes straight from the middle east. The south is not out of touch with the rest of the world as you seem to think.
My 2 cents.
No count of Iraq war casualties has anywhere near 1 million. The most accurate counts are between 80k and 150k in studies done by the IBC (a peace group)
http://www.iraqbodycount.org /
and the WHO

As for who killed all these Iraqis. Most of them died after being attacked by Islamic fundamentalist terrorists or Baathist insurgents. Not at the hands of Coalition forces.
But if you want to base your emotional screeds on bad data, be my guest. It just makes you look ignorant.
"Clinton has only been a national politician 1 year longer than Obama"
Wrong, 4 years. He was a state senator until 2005. Hillary began serving in 2001.
and
"McCain has been a politician for so long that he is an integral part of everything that is wrong with American politics."
Actually, McCain has fought against lobbyists (McCain-Feingold) and more recently against earmarks. His bill was defeated and Obama and Hillary,voted with him on this, but Clinton got 342 million and Obama 98 million in earmarks. Who is more a "part of the problem"
Here is an article from 2001:
http://www.time.com/time/mag azine/article/0,9171,999648,00 .html
and here is current data:
http://www.taxpayer.net/budg et/fy08earmarks/fy08databasema in.html
Only 6 members of congress received no earmarks. McCain, 3 other Republicans and 2 Democrats (Feingold was one of them).
Once again, ignorance is the basis for a feeling-based comment.
