LiveBlog: The Barack Obama Half Hour Fun Hour

8:35 – Okay, the Phillies/Rays mini-game starts in two minutes. I gotta run.

If you missed the infomercial and actually care, check it out here…

And don't forget to watch Barack again tonight on The Daily Show. (And we'll have footage of that up here asap as well.)

8:34 – Here's what I think. If you've gone all this time without being able to make a choice between Obama and McCain, I don't see how this is gonna change people's minds. I didn't see or hear anything here that I didn't see and hear a thousand times before.

8:30 – He got a stadium full of people to watch a 27 minute documentary and a 3 minute speech? He definitely should be president. – Michael Kraskin

8:28 – From the comments: "Kapitol? You're waving a copy of the capitol around?
Hint: it's "Das Kapital"…" – foreigner

Thanks for copyediting my hastily written post.

8:27 – Holy shit! Now we're live in Florida. Cah-razy!

8:26 – Obama just said he won't be a perfect president. I'll bet Sarah Palin can promise better.

8:25 – Did I just see Obama hugging McCain's mom?

8:24 – Obama's grandfather fought under Patton?! Wow! I didn't know they let Muslims fight in the army back then.

8:23 – I want that barbecue they're eating.

8:22 – From the comments: "Yay! Peppier music! I was tired of crying!" – CindyB

8:21 – Uh oh, it's Joe Biden. What's he gonna say?

8:20 – Barack Obama read the Harry Potter books. See that? He's into witchcraft!

8:18 – Wait. He's gonna lower taxes for the middle class? I suppose, by that, he means that he's going to raise taxes for the middle class. John McCain was so right!

8:17 – From the comments: "That crowd of all white people that is surrounding Obama looks like they're wondering where Howie Mandell is. They were told that they were attending an event where they would be told about a great new deal." – Punditphilia

8:16 – His mother called him "buster"? The mouth on that woman.

8:15 – Barack was a pudgy little kid, wasn't he?

8:13 – A special needs kid! He's going after Sarah Palin's demographic!

8:11 – I'll tap those natural gas reserves, too. Yeah, I said it.

8:10 – Oh, look at this Obama guy talking to us all nice and pleasant and smart-sounding. What a show off. Let's all not vote for him.

8:08 – Oh, of course the old black guy plays blues guitar. Does the black lady sing in a choir? What a racist Obama is.

8:06 – See that? Strickland just admitted it! Barack Obama is gonna cut taxes for middle class people. He just as much as said, "Barack Obama masturbates to the waxen corpse of Josef Stalin."

8:04 – He's wearing a flag pin. I can't tell what country it belongs to, though.

8:02 – Uh oh. White people. Get out of there, white people! Barack Obama is coming for you!

8:01 – Hey! That office isn't oval-shaped! I don't know if I'm certain he's got the experience to work out of an oval-shaped office.

8:00 – Wheat! That's patriotic!

7:55 – Alright! I am ready for the Baracky Horror Picture Show!

I got my Christian blood to throw at the screen every time he talks about his deep faith. I got my aborted fetus to swing around over my head when he talks about a woman's right to choose. I got my copy of Das Kapitol to stick my pecker in when he talks about cutting middle class taxes! I've got everyth…

Oh shit! Wait! My molotov cocktail! I need to make a molotov cocktail quick!
