Obama looks like the kind of guy who insists that his girls hug everyone in the room before they go home. (I know a few people who have their kids do this and it always feels very awkward to me. But totally like something Obama would do.) ---

Obama looks like the kind of guy that has the greenest yard on the block. Obama looks like the kind of guy that would rent a moonwalk for his kids’ birthday parties. ---

Obama looks like the type of guy who can expose himself on Main Street and have no one scream. Yes, I’ve been reading the Google Ads, why do you ask? ---

Obama looks like the kind of guy who goes to the corporate convention in Vegas and pays rapt attention to the CFO’s speech and feels like he “came away from it with something”. He would also be in bed at 8:30pm to be fresh for the morning symposium on whatever. Then he’d also let it slip to your boss that you had what he feels are “more alcoholic beverages than is normally encouraged at a corporate function”. ---

[QUOTE=fusoya] I can tell that this thread is not going to end well. The other day, I saw a white guy wearing a No-Obama t-shirt(with the Ghostbusters style no sign over his face) shirt, and all I could think was “hmm, that could be interpreted as I DON’T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE”… [/QUOTE] I saw a guy on Saturday wearing a dark blue T-shirt with white lettering, and no picture. It read, “Barack Hussein Obama is a terrorist.” :rolleyes: I kid you not. Barack Obama looks like the kind of guy who’d always lend you whatever you needed if he lived next door to you, and never pester you to get it back. He looks like the kind of guy who’d be the peacemaker in any office dispute. He looks like the kind of guy who’d play hard but fair in a driveway basketball game. ---

Barack Obama looks like the kind of guy who picks up on a hobby that you’re into, and in under a week, is doing it better than you are, but somehow you can’t get mad about it, and you feel vaugely guilty about being peeved. ---
