A Foreigner’s Thoughts On Last Night’s Presidential Debate
October 8th, 2008 by Emilia
I’m not a citizen of the U.S. of A., hence I can’t vote. So to me, this whole media ordeal that we are currently experiencing is kinda whatevs, y’knowwhatimean.
Sometimes though, I try really hard and I actually care. I do. Really. Because in the end, whatever happens and whoever gets elected, will somehow affect me, along with the rest of the world beside this lovely nation. So yeah, last night I forced myself to sit down and watch the whole presidential debate. Here is a recount of what I remember happening after the jump.
-Mc Cain is a name dropper and kept bringing up the fact that he was BFFs with Reagan, Kennedy, and Napoleon.
-He kept calling me his friend. But I have a “no-old-people” friend policy. Sorry dude.
-He also called Obama “that one”. Oh, snap.
-He said that if I voted for him he would give me money to buy the health insurance of my choice, pay a mortgage, buy a time share in Bermuda.
-Obama wouldn’t give me money but likes free health insurance, free education, and flowers, and unicorns.
-Then I fell asleep a little.
-Then Mc Cain said that Russia is evil.
-Then I fell asleep a little.
-Obama said that we need to find alternative sources of energy other than oil.
-Then I stopped to reflect on the idea for a moment and thought: “DUH!”
-Mc Cain said he doesn’t agree with people of his own party. He’s rebellious. REBELLIOUS! and punkrock.
-Obama said he doesn’t understand how they ended up invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.
-Then I turned around and said to my cat: “Exactly”
-Then Mc Cain said that we should stop spending, keep the taxes low, and peace in the world (well other than in the middle east)
-Then I decided that I needed to get this t shirt

brilliant.
you forgot about the part when after the debate, when the two dudes were tryna be all friendly like, they walked in front of tom brokaw’s teleprompter and he spazzed out! gahh, learn your lines or don’t be on tv. haha.
“get da fuck outta da way of mah teleprompter yo!”
tom brokaw was my fave last night for sure
Thanks Shmelia! Now I don’t feel bad about getting stoned and watching 90210 and Greek instead of the debates!
Alas, I could not watch it all. I have an irrational fear of debates.
this is fabulous. you should work for cnn.
McCain dead as president > Obama asassinated as president
My account is very similar:
1. turns on tv and obama is talking about alternative energy
2. duh
3. mccain seems to think there is such thing as clean coal
4. mccain talks more but all i can focus on is his jaw
5. hear obama say the same things i heard him say in person last week
6. decide to watch haunted mansion
i neeeeed that shirt
