Everyone knows that in order to play taboo, you have to be an eleteist. It almost REQUIRES a proficent knoledge of the english language. I'm tired of all these educated eletes going around playing games like taboo, scrabble, and madlibs. Why can't the east coast ivy league leftists play more fundimental games like vote Hillary Cliton, vote John McCain, or how about a good hearted game of Shoot yourself in the foot? ====================================================== Everyone knows that elitists don't play Shoot yourself in the foot.

All this flaming about how he's playing Taboo instead of doing work or how he's unqualified to be President because the press is reporting on him playing games... Both Obama and Hillary are out there campaigning wayyyy too many hours per day, day after day. The stress is clearly visible on their faces after months of this kind of thing. So yeah, instead of working from the second he wakes up to the second he goes to sleep, Obama played Taboo on his flight. Big deal. If you need a president who will never have a fun waking moment throughout their presidency just go build a robot or something. Besides, I'm sure Hillary does something similar for fun, biting heads off chickens or devouring souls or whatever she does... What is this?

I guess I prefer a candidate who enjoys some good clean fun during down time and is not trying to be a "fighter" all the time. The only time I saw Hilary pretending to relax she was downing shots of Crown Royal. RIP "You go girl" 1990-1995, 2007-2008 Wow, chill all of you haters!

Remember, OBama is a Harvard grad, an elitist, he thinks that the reason that people "clink to their guns" or "religion" is because they are bitter. This man lacks "common sense" when it comes to dealing with the "average Joe" on the street.

Seriously. First he's an elitist, now its "we don't want a regular Joe for President." Make up your minds, or else I'll start to think that you're not voting for him for other more obvious reasons.

He has accomplished nothing that qualifies him to be president and his wife, with her big mouth, is a loose cannon. I am a lifelong Democrat, two collage degrees, a 30 year educator, and for the first time, I will vote Republican. In January, I will toast President McCain as he takes his oath of office.

Obviously, she makes these ridiculous comments about Obama because she's clearly losing the primaries. Obama is just like you and me. We need a president like that. Plus, we all know that Obama has a better chance of uniting this country than Clinton does. And you call this guy an elitist? Hilary Clinton's elitist statement makes less sense everyday.
