Obama And McCain Jib and Jab At 4 Million Dollar Dinner


The Really: Barack Obama took some long overdue shots at John McCain and his short comings. They were really funny too...

When I heard John and Barack lambaste one another all in the name of fun last night hopefully I was not the only one that got some much needed relief from the regular stump speeches. What I find really funny is that each candidate were able to make some major digs at one another as well as themselves. From Mad Magazine ears to jokes about McCain knowing people during the prohibition, the jokes just didn't stop. I thought the slams were fairly delivered and I also think that the writers of the humor (certainly not McCain or Obama) did some of the best work that either of the two candidates have read to a crowd in 12 months.

McCain presented first and came out swinging with Obama following up and delivering a flurry of shots that he had not delivered personally yet. This was the time and the place for Barack Obama to bring some issues such as age to light. Whether you like him or not, Obama has withstood pot shot after pot shot from both McCain and Palin directly. While Obama's campaign has certainly fought back and taken their share of opportunities to expose McCain's flaws; Obama has never really delivered any punches with the gloves off until last night.

Overall, I thought last night was a good night off from serious politics and stupid campaign tricks. I am still watching some of the clips because they were REALLY that funny. Enjoy!
