<p>1-10: Barack Obama HATERS! (people, I now you have a basic right to freedom of speech, but can’t you just please leave him alone? he’s totally capable of running the country, and if he wasn’t, then I don’t think that millions of people would have voted for him)</p>

<p>1-11 Ignorant Barack LUSTERS. I enjoy my freedom of speech so much I like taking others’ right to it away with my fiery rhetoric. You make a very poor argument. If a charismatic man wins enough votes over a crippled, unintelligent man (McCAin; I respect his service, one of the greatest Americans, but he’s wouldn’t be a great president) than he’s qualified? And when these votes come from people who can’t pick out the countries we are fighting in on a map?</p>

<p>Mumbai Attacks are #1. I don’t see why everyone in America downplays this. It reminds me of the Indian Ocean Tsunami a couple years back that Americans didn’t give a tootin’ about. Which I found ironic, considering I hear 9/11 mentioned at least once a day, even though the Indian Ocean Tsunami killed about 75 times more people then 9/11. Oh, American prejudice…</p>

<p>Good call on Mumbai Attacks and the Tsunami that apparently paled in comparison to Hurricane Katrina despite having almost 100 times as many casualties. I love the American mindset be lazy, outsource, spend extra time thinking about one’s self. We need an overhaul…</p>

<p>1-10. People who can’t get it through their heads that not everyone supports the same candidate and have the same ideals. Sort of like every post on this thread.</p>

<p>Sort of like me? I would need to fail at running America before I understood others’ opinions.</p>

<p>Tina Fey imitating Sarah Palin wins on my list.</p>

<p>Um and Biden dropped out because of plagiarism, if I’m not mistaken.</p>
