Anyone can get caught making a weird face. Remember Howard Dean’s scream? But really, John, must you seem so lacking in presidential gravitas?

Liz Spikol was born in Philadelphia sometime in the 20th century. She started writing about her experience as a person with mental illness in 1999, while employed at Philadelphia Weekly as the paper’s managing editor. Aside from serving as that paper’s web editor, music editor, staff writer, senior editor, executive editor and a host of other random roles that she couldn’t make up her mind about, she has also worked as a Spanish teacher, as a Certified Peer Specialist during Philly’s system-wide transformation and as a communications specialist for a prison reform organization. Currently, she works at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania and writes book reviews for PW. This blog — named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 and 2008 by PsychCentral — is about medications, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, SAD (and many other acronyms), mad pride, Big Pharma, celebrities, hospitals, stigma and the recovery movement. And other stuff.
what!? this really happened!?
just another piece of evidence that he’s the next dubya.
what on earth was going on here? i didn’t see the beginning of the thing.
Not to defend him, but the context was he was trying to get around the table to shake hands with the moderator, but they (McC and moderator) both kept going the wrong way. It seemed to be a sorta “whoops!” face, not a face directed at Obama.
And the audio was a sing-song ….”Nyaah, nyaah- my wife owns Budweiser”
Whoa! So-o-o many thoughts spring to mind:
1.
“WWWAAAZZZZZZZUUUUPPPPP!”
2.
Jesus. He looks like a 1st year fratboy trying to dry hump an invisible-fat-passed out co-ed…
3.
I’m 90% sure that’s the face he made to freak out Charlie while captive back in Nam.
4.
I think he’s gesturing towards Cindy that tonites post-debate-sex is gonna be rough AND kinky!
“UH HUH! Jez likes you lovez it babbeey!
Boo-gah Boo-gah WOwww-yeah!”
Can you even imagine the shit-storm if it were Obama caught on camera doing this?
Or maybe you can. Which is why you feel uncomfortable.
Or maybe you can’t, which makes the whole picture worse. I’ve looked at the videos you’ve posted of people who believe nonsense about Obama.
I hired a woman to paint on a job with me. She’s a surfer, about our age. I’m 42, and don’t mean to imply…
But I meant that she was of an age of relative understanding. Her computer is down, so I’ve been filling her in on what I write on my blog, along with what I discover.
So, along with Troy Davis’ execution, I’ve talked about Palin’s Pastor having chased a “witch” out of her house and home in Africa, Palin’s hatred of familiars, I mean cats.
I’ve told her about Bill Maher links I’ve set up, the Obama stickers I had on my art car that just went to the crushers. ETC.
But today, she told me that she wasn’t sure whom she was voting for. I was gob-smacked. So, I asked her why. She said that she didn’t like Big Government being involved.
I reminded her of the whole Roe vs. Wade issue. But she said that there were bigger issues at hand. Like the economy. She’d told me a week before that she liked that Obama had his plan available on the net.
My parents, staunch Tories, and then here, Republicans, are voting for Obama. As a Resident Alien who has misplaced my card, all I can do is yell.
INS is taking its time to replace my card. But when I get it back, if McCaint is in the house, I’m leaving. But if he isn’t, I’ll do what I can to become a citizen, because if nothing else, I’ve learned that every vote counts.
