CNN

here is a story about Sen. Obama and his wife on salon.com. It is about what he does during his off time. The story tells about a night when one of his young daughters had a soccer game and Sen. Obama showed up, much to her delight. It is a beautiful short story about a wonderful American family doing what most American families do. The contrast between the life of Sen. Obama and his family and the family of Sen. McCain couldn't be different. One wife, one house, one car, an average American family that just happens to have two incredibly talented, well-educated and intelligent parents.

My mother last night, a lifelong Republican, asked me who I'd rather see as first lady. I replied Michelle. My mother wholeheartedly agreed. She said that Cindy McCain has nothing in common with her and her friends. She went on to say how charming and wonderful Michelle is as a mother, wife and potential first lady.

Oooooh! He can dance better than McCain? That did it, he's got my vote!

How would America look if it had a head of state that couldn't cut a rug?

Scott from Tuscon.

That is old news, Obama himself provided that information without anyone asking, in his book. Beside, what has that got to do with his leadership qualities or solving the problem that confronts America.
We have all made mistakes. Even our current president was a self confessed acoholic and a drug abuser. We forgave him and voted him in as our president.
Scott, please get over yourself.

The reason why all of you who are republicans think that Obama has not been vetted is because you did not watch any of the reports during the democratic primaries. Things you are brining up now have already been explained or have been proven false. It's not your fault since you didn't follow the coverage but feel free to keep banging on the same drum. Also, if you don't know anything about what he stands for and his plans for the various issues, then you haven't been listening during this campaign either. And one more thought. How about telling us what McCain can do for this country instead of telling all of us with our head in the sand what is bad about Obama. I'd like to hear what you have to say.

His wife should go as a brown spider...She's scary.

I had the pleasure of watching the whole Obama family interact at a picnic in July '07. Ever since then I've hoped against hope that one day they'd be moving into the White House. They all give off a positive, loving vibe that is exactly what this country needs right now.

The awesome part about this is that I know where they got those costumes, as my daughter (7) has the same costume. We are not rich people and its great to see that they are ordinary people who shop and do things the same way ordinary families do. Dont believe the hype that the Republicans are trying to blow out there. The Obamas will be a great First Family and I would be proud to have them represent my family, a "real" American family.

What a delight it will be to have a young family in the White House with a good sense of humor, kindness, and a positive outlook. I can't wait!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

WHY DOES OBAMA'S DRUG USE KEEP COMIONG UP FROM THE WHIINING REPUBLICANS??

I USED DRUGS IN COLLEGE..WHO DIDN'T?? AND YOU KNOW WHAT...WHO THE HECK CARES. IT DOESNT MEAN I CANT DO MY JOB.

I AM A TEACHER/COACH!!!

STOP YOUR CRYING...I BET MCSAME AND FAILIN DID SOME DRUGS BACK IN THE DAY .
DO YOU THINK JOHHNY DIDNT SMOKE A JOINT OR TWO IN 'NAM?
DO YOU THINK THAT PRINCESS BARBIE AND KEN DIDNT DO THAT IN COLLEGE?????

WHO CARES..GET OVER IT

This is news because?????? We are facing all kinds of troubles and you report this crap?

We need a president who is in touch with the people. He is physically fit for the tough job he has ahead of him as president.

What a difference in campaigns...

McCain tells a joke about Morris Udall (who? a loser) and compares his campaign to Morris' campaign (not a good idea).

Obama rocks!

CNN why aren't you doing a story on the latest flap where Palin didn't have a clue to what the VP's duties are? Every other news organization except CNN and FOX are carrying the story with video.

Gotta love the Obama's!!! Go Obama and Bidden!!

Just the thought of having such a wonderful young couple and their two beautiful daughters in the White House brings a smile to my face. We have to make this happen.

Looking forward to Ellen having a few of Obama's buddies on shortly, all of whom wrote new books:

-“How to Buy a House with No Money, No Job, No Credit” – by Barney Frank
-“How to Pick a Mortgage Lender When You’re in the Senate” – by Chris Dodd
-“Fairy Tales Are Never Out of Style” – by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
-“Explosives Made Easy” – by Bill Ayers
-“How to Grow Your Own ACORN and Win” – by David Axelrod
- Bonus buy: “How to Buy a President” – by David Axelrod

Why is this a POLITICAL TICKER????

There is going to be some serious rocking out at this year's Inaugural Balls!

I am so happy Obama will be our next president!

Its amazing that CNN covers all "positive / feel good" stories surrounding the liberals while choosing to focus on only negativity surrounding the rest of us.

Related to Palin and the constant negativity surrounding her, why doesn't the media look for dirt on Michelle Obama?

Oh wait, that would be considered racism.

But it's ok to do it to Pailn and C. McCain.

Makes sense......

If his dancing is news, why doesn't someone bring up the fact that he is a closet smoker?

How would that influence his decisions regarding "Big Tobacco?"

Michelle Obama talks smack alright, she is a conceited, boisterous typical chip on her shoulder advocat.
Know will will I ever suport her as First Lady, what are most Americans even thinking, can't they see through her pretentiousness.
She disgusts me and everything our beloved country stands for!

It is so nice to know that Palin spent over a quarter of million (150,000) of the campaign's money on clothes.

This is who you are supporting, Repulican supporters!

I cannot wait to vote for Obama in early voting this week. He is a genuine, family man with great policies for America.

BTW, the Sean Hannity dittoheads (i.e. hypocrites) are hilarious on these boards. Did they hold Bush's previous cocaine use to the same standard in the past two elections? Yeah, right.

The important thing is to learn honestly from past mistakes in order to inspire others to avoid it.

Obama/Biden '08

Obama rules!

He is such a lovely dignified man !

I hope Obama wins the election. He can dance on the world stage and bring peace, freedom, and prosperity to the globe benefiting the United States.

This is tabloid crap.

"No friends of terrorists in my White House"
"No abortion extremists in my White House"...

Wow! Now that is the comment from someone who has obviously never cared enough about our country to actually go do some research on their own... that is a sad statement about them, and our country. Fox News and McCain comercials are not a good source of information.

This is why I believe so strongly in better education standards in America. I want that posters children to be smarter than they are.

CNN,

--why don't u report about palin's claim on VP??

Palin Claims Vice President "In CHarge of U.S. Senate".

Shame on CNN.

Of course Obama can dance better than McCain. Obama didn't spend 5 years being tortured in a POW camp in Vietnam!

GET OVER IT ,DUSTY! we been livin under ur boots for 8 years, and we tired of it.

Obama is dancing all the way to the White House..McCain is a great dance also- great at dancing around real world issues !

And by the way...I'm very prObama. And I don't drink kool aid.

im so proud to have voted for barack. GO! REDNECK'S FOR OBAMA MEMBERS! WOOOHOOO! WE VOTE FOR THE BEST PRESIDENT! NOT THE ONE WHO 'LOOKS' MORE LIKE US!! WOOOHOOO!

Barack wrote about his drug use in a book before he ran for President. Did Cindy write about her drug use? If so, let me know the title of the book so that I can pick it up. I like to learn a little about people before they move into the White House. Thanks.

This is absolutely pathetic and insulting. The media prefers to focus on the Obama family's dancing abilities while at the same time publishing the most ridiculous stories about Sarah Palin in an attempt to paint her as evil. This story goes to the heart of the media's obsession with Obama and gettign him elected by any means necessary. Maybe the luny Liberals, who are so consumed with racism, should question if this story is racist as it depicts Obama and his wife, both African Americans, as good dancers. Isn't that a racially tinged comment to make? The media has lost any shred of credibility it had left

This is called the dumbing down of America!

I love that Sen. Obama and his wife can bring happiness to people while we're in this economic crisis. Dance on!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Saying that Obama is a terrorist or an abortion extremist is really way out there. If you don't like him, you don't like him. But if you are so "frustrated and bitter" that you cling to these blatant falsehoods about Obama, then there is no reason to expect you to be a reasoned thinker.

Of course you could do research, you could investigate t.v. shows and web sites OTHER than just FOX and other conservative blogs, thus enabling yourself to develop a well rounded view.

Or you could continue to do what you're doing, believing the dirt and the smear and the lies of Pied McPiper and Palin.

And I guarantee Romney would have taken him to the mat – politically, that is. I could care less about dance moves.

how is this news?

and how did all the liberals manage to turn this into a "bash mccain" party again?

for gods sake guys grow up.

McCains old as hell.. of course obama is a better dancer than him. McCain wouldn't know what to do anymore...

"They're not scary enough for my taste."

Obama does have really scary taste! Barack Hussein Obama IS scary! Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers . . . now THAT's some scary taste!

I don't care if the leader of my beloved country is a good dancer. My concern is that he preserve the ideals that have made this country the greatest nation on earth. Does he have courage to fight for what he believes in? Will he stand and see a crisis through, or will he vote "Present" and say that the question is "above my pay grade"?

I'm done with the fear that the GOP hucksters have to offer.
I'm tired of the hate.

Let's get back to freedom.

Latina...
No friends of terrorists? How about a friend of a group that wants the state it runs to be it's own country separate from the US.
No abortion extremists? How about someone who wants to take away abortion rights in all cases including incest and rape?

Obama is neither a "friend of terrorists" or an "abortion extremist". Do your homework.

Obama/Biden 08

Mike;
Powell spoke on behalf of the Iran war based on the lies of Bush!! The fact that he has talked openly about it and regrets listening to one of the biggest failures in politics says a great deal about his character. Colin Powel is a military leader, which the war mongering Republicans have mistakenly interpreted to mean that he likes to kill. He does not. He agrees that diplomacy and sanctions are the better way to handle international issues.

So Obama is a better dancer than McCain. That is an insult to McCain who is limited by his handicaps as a result of being a POW. Let's ask Obama if his basketball stunts are helping hide his smoking addiction? ALSO, Bill Clinton took Hillary and Chelsea all over the world as president at tax payer expense. I can just guess how much that cost us and no one blinked and now the DEMS and the media are making a big deal out of airfare for Palin's kids and campaign clothes. I bet Obama and Bidens suits cost several thousand each!!!! Obama is a big spender and wasting dollars that came from who knows where? I bet we find out just how he got all that money down the road.

Barack wrote about his cocaine use in his book, before he even ran for President. Did Cindy write about her drug use? If so, let me know the title of the book so that I can pick it up. Thanks.

Seriously?!?!

More media fawning over Obama.

The media is disgusting.

Wow, is this Dancing With the Stars or a presidential election? I'd hate to think we're choosing the leader of the free world based on dance moves or even personality. I'm not a huge McCain fan, but come people, stop drinking the koolaid. You all are a bunch of Obama drones.

Someone asks if this is political news,and the answer is YES. It is hard to understand how the GOP has crushed the spirit of this nation. You just have to be old enough to remember that the "Reagan Revolution" launched an alliance between serious conservatives and the moralizing, sexually repressed religious right. Then over the next 20 years, the religionists (as they are wont to do) took more and more control, and finally elected their very own GW Bush. What will happen on November 4th is not just a change in the White House. It will be a generational sea change as millions of Americans cry ENOUGH ! We want our country back. And Hannity, Coulter, Limbough and Cheny will be looking for work. I do not hate these death-loving, apocalyptic nut-jobs. I just want them back in the margins of society where they belong. I want a president who can dance. GOBAMA

Obama certainly is the best dancer – he has danced around any truths or questions regarding his past, his mentoring circle and experience record. His resume' falls very short of presidential material. When one looks at past successful and brilliant leaders, the ability to have sleek moves, dance well, and 'talk the talk' are certainly not characteristics that made the difference in true leadership. How sad that this 'great reporting' took up so much space on this web-site. How regrettable for our country that these criteria are so important to some people!!

Good for him! Glad to see that he's a human with a lively spirit – and not just a politician engrossed in winning for his own sake.

That says a lot about Obama's character and humility!!

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!

Talk Smack? First Bump? God help where this country is headed. Unbelievable that the future of America is going to be in this man's hands. Doesn't have one firm policy to stand on but he can dance? I guarantee that in a few months of his first term, we'll all be asking what happened to the "change we can believe in".

Anyone but Obama in 2012, if we make it that far!

Mortgage Bankers President today has announced we are in a recession. Unemployment is up, while manuafacturing and housing sales are down.

Obama's plan to raise taxes at this time is CRAZY.

You Obama supporters are more concerned with making history than the welfare of this country.

If Obama is elected, at least I can say 'I told you so'.

McCain/Palin 08

I would agree 100 percent just watch him dance around a question.

The Obama's are so, well, regular. They truly are middle america. I can't wait to see the show.

Dusty? Your name explains why you are so angry & dusty. LOL

HOPE not HATE. Its our time. Obama/Biden 08.

I just wish people would stop bad mouthing the candidates and just shut up! You vote for whoever you want to vote for. Just let it go. Look at the issues, think abouttt who's better to run this country and just vote. Quit bad mouthing the candidates!! Doing so makes each candidate look bad and doesnt make them qualified to be our president.

To "Southerner":

You are gettig bogus info-check it out at snopes.com.
For me, the scary idea is McCain and/or Palin close to the red button. She has already mentioned that we "may" have to go to war with Russia in an interview. Think we are having a difficult economy now? Try having 3 wars going.
Vote Obama!

That's awesome. People take everything to seriously, and that makes people miss out on a lot in life. I like that Obama doesn't take himself too seriously. It makes him human.

What is this idea about Kool aid drinkers? What is that supposed to mean exactly? Man these McCain supports just keep getting better and better with these one liners it's hilarious.

Southerner-

You should try reading something other than Fox News or listening to Rush Limbaugh. There's nothing "scary" about Obama. The extreme right are just using fear-mongering and scare tactics to make people vote for them. It was the same with the last several elections. How many times did Bush, McCain, Rudy, or Dick remind us of terrorism and 9/11. True, these threats are real. But we are the United States of America, we should not fear these people. Our leaders should inspire us, not frighten us.

why do people keep saying Mc c is a true hero and war whatever...he flew his mission got shot down and wham...became a prisoner of war....that's it pow....why so much?....what about the others who were there? I would call them the REAL HEROES.....as for family values.....extremely questionable judgement or plain cheater.
Leader? no way, hero? no way

To Dusty:

I am sure you had a good time when Palin appeared on SNL. Why be so negative all the time? Stop hating.

This is a headline, what about Bidens smack the other night!!

Adam Jama says: "Hahaaa. Mcain you can't move your arms above your head forget about dancing. " of course he can't move his arms because of the injuries he suffered when he was a POW... Besides who cares about dancing? if Obama wants to show his moves he should go to dancing with the stars!!!

I will be out of town on business on election day so I voted yesterday. Straight ticket Democrat. Never done that before. I have a small business and I dream of grossing $250,000 a year. If I made more than that I would be glad to pay my fair share of taxes and health insurance to my employess. The Republicans are so out of touch with issues and nasty polictices with the Moslem and Obama is a terriorists was a decding factor. Then all the middle school antics of I'm a maverick, joe sixpack and joe the plumber, soccer mom sterotypes really prooved to me this party has no clue and if that is all they can come up with I will be on a sinking ship if I vote for them. Last but final thing was Sarah Palin. When I saw her on Newsweek with a rifle my blood ran cold. I thought if McCain chose someone like her -war hero knows nothing about the values of most Americans. Even Cheney would not have posed like that as creepy as he is.

President Barack Obama

ATTENTION:

The 'Kool-Aid drinking' analogy is way old and lame.

Try getting a new thought in your head. You might like it!

Barack – just like you and me.

McCain – just a wanna be.

Thats cute laughter is good for the soul!

This is grotesque jounalism. On this page (if you want to call it an article) you have a cute little story about Michelle and Barack Obama dancing on Ellen, then on another you are lambasting Sarah Palin for taking her daughters with her to events. CNN is so one sided it's disgusting! Shameful, just shameful...

Are the people gonna hear more about the GOP stealing the election like we heard about ACORN? This is serious and the people need to make the MSM like (CNN and MSNBC) be more responsible and inform the public about these types of issues instead of nonsense.

There is a repeat of the 2000 and 2004 voter suppression and purging of registrations going on in this election. If the MSM don't report and put and end to the madness Obama is going to lose.

Have your say people and make the MSM report about it. Kieth and Rachel, of MSNBC, has already started the crusade.

john mc cain isn't a champion

Hmm, I hope the Russians get to watch that one too. Then they will for sure know how weak our country will become with him president. Maybe Chavez will get a kick out of it too, and Osama, I wonder will he will make of it. Good job Democrats on setting up our country for failure, just remember IF he gets elected, this will all be on your hands.

Let's see McCain do the jitter bug...... never mind, he is too ERRATIC and UNSTABLE... he might start break dancing. I am very happy I VOTED for Obama!!!!!!

The Obama's will make a great first family!

How is this news. Please CNN report on something that has to do w/ his opinion on "spreading the wealth"...

Very cute move!

Loveable couple

As Sen. Obama said during one of the debates, we get the government we deserve, and I sure pray people who are independent and even those republicans who are not extreme neocons, will vote for Sen. Obama. Sen. Obama's past has been hashed out ad nauseum by the media and the neocons, but the republican media won't touch McCain's sordid past. Yes, he served his Country and my husband was in Viet Nam, but he certainly isn't qualified to be President any more than McCain is. And Palin isn't qualified to be out by herself. McCain can parade his poor mother around all he wants to convince us of his longevity, but his mother wasn't tortured for 5 years as a POW. As a spouse of a Viet Nam vet, they all needed treatment for PTSD and I believe McCain still needs it.

The Obamas are the most 'real' and down to earth family that will ever have occupied the White House.

OBAMA IS SO AMERICAN, I CANT BELIEVE MACAIN AND HIS FOES ARE CALLING HIM TERRORISTS, UN-AMERICAN ETC,

I THINK MACAIN/ PALIN IS

I voted for Obama 26 times. Thanks ACORN.

When you've got faith. Nothing can stand in your way! My prayers are with you and your family.

CNN post this!

13 more days until we can put McCain and Palin behind us for good.

Seriously, what are the Repubs so afraid of? Are you all robots, who believe everything that you hear? Don't you have minds of your own? Wouldn't it great if the world started respecting us again? So, so very sad, that you are all so angry and hateful.

OBAMA '08.

To Chris...YES WE ARE

I VOTED FOR THAT ONE

just keep dancing your way to the white house obama!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess Biden's comments about an international incident awaiting President Obama is not as important as whether Barack can dance. Barney Frank says our national economic mess is more psychological than fundamental, but rather than discuss this view with Obama, better to see if has rhythm. Excellent news coverage, CNN.

He is so cute.

If Mccain and Palin have the experience then I don't understand why can't they run a honorable and decent campain and talk straight to us about the issues. The truth is with all their experience and years of service and they still cannot manage a presidential campain is very scarey, right Latina for John Mccain and your White house.

Attention, haters:

resident Barack Hussein Obama"

Get used to it

After two old codgers and a philanderer in the White HOuse–it will be a breath of fresh air to have a human being there.

Who cares? This isn't news. What will he do to keep Medicare and Social Security solvent? Now THAT'S news!

God Bless America, and we are ALL americans. shame on this republiklan party spewing this hate and division. shame on john mcpain most of all. do you see what happens when the crowds boo mcsame at an obama rally?? HE STOPS THEM and says no just vote. no hate, no anger, thats why the people are swarming to obama/biden. we have had enough and this is OUR country, not only their's. you see the people are already voting with their hard earned dollars for obama. you see the numbers that are coming out to see and hear him. i think this is going to be a tidalwave this election for the Democrats and the hate machine in the rethug party is in full swing. OBAMA/BIDEN 08-12 GO VOTE!! VOTE.VOTE VOTE VOTE!!

AC 360 last night had a good spot – the RNC (taxpayer funded) spent $150,000 on clothes, accessories, makeup for the Palin family. Our kids are cold and hungry and get nothing.

I'm confused – is that socialism for a Governor's benefit. For the wealthy?

Better a socialist then a marxist like Bush and McCain, as they are trying to sell out america to china.

Obama / Biden 08

who cares about his dance
i do
he has humor and talents,
helps with the hard choices

Can we vote already?

ONE NATION

See how Barak throws trash in John McCains face and laughs! How belittling the whole Barak campaign is against John McCain. It is sad and telling. Obama has been the smear leader even though he would like you to think otherwise. And John Kerry's remarks were lower than low.

Lately CNN seems to be giving Palin and McCain WAY WAY too much airtime about what they are saying in their speeches! They already get it 24/7 on FOX. You show Palin's ridiculous speech about women but you talk about Obama dancing on Ellen? Please. Why aren't you covering Biden's speech more. I am SICK of Palin, stop giving her so much airtime. If you think it helps your ratings, you are gone, I have stopped watching some of your shows.

And why again are we listening to the Un-American Palin and McBush...People, wake up!! The words they are staying are not even touching our base. Those Devils are Liars....GOD has all of it under control. I BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD. JOIN ME AND VOTE TODAY!!

Nice story – but the REAL story is

Obama going to see his ill grandmother.

CNN – a single picture will tell a thousand words

This is a man of FAMILY
This is man of who truly understands

i love obama's energy! he is going to make a wonderful president that will lift the nation and make all of us feel young again. he inspires hope and dignity to the world.
mccain has saddened the world with all his negativity and doom.
i can't wait to see obama and his family in the white house. this will be such a fun family and one that all of us can relate to. barack obama is a leader and a chosen one and i am so proud of him!

NO he was just covering up his all arms and legs movements.

Latina for john McCain since when it's your White House?????

John McCain is a WARmonger, Cheater
John picked Sarah Palin a cover for their ongoing love affair

Dusty October 22nd, 2008 3:04 am ET

The fact that this is presented as some sort of political news makes me sad for the future of our country

-Awwww booooo hooooo... NO FUN!! HOW DARE WE HAVE FUN!! How is an article about a man running for president Non-political? Everything these two do is political lol

To anyone who is complaining that this is even on a news blog...it's called a "fluff" piece folks. They happen all the time. It's a part of the news, so grow up and deal with it.

Doesn't help anyone, doesn't hurt anyone, just is kinda funny.

R-E-L-A-X!

GO OBAMA GO, all the way to the White House!

This makes me want to vote for Obama. Nice work

Hey Latina for John McCain, Get a life or read a book first maybe you need some education first.

Yeah, keep dancing Barry. Back to the south side of Chicago, where you helped you buddy Tony Reszcko build slums for the people you were supposed to help. Or maybe you can go clubbin' with your pal Bill Ayers? Or better yet, how about a jazz club with your minister, Rev. Wright. Maybe he could leave his mansion (which is surrounded by the white people he villifies)? Keep dancing and stay out of the White House. Your track record of ineptitude and you friends are just some of the reasons the last thing you should be is the 'leader of the free world'.

President Obama = Disaster for America...Don't believe me, just ask his running mate.

How is this news? Are you kidding me? A sign of things to come, puff pieces on how wonderful Obama is for four years while the country goes into recession. Scary.

Why is Obama's recent comment that he is definitely a better dancer than McCain not racist since this plays into the stereotype that black people are inherently better dancers than white people...but when Joe the Plumber comments that Obama's tap dance is almost as good as Sammy Davis Jr's, everyone jumps on this as being a racist remark? I'm sure that I'll be branded racist for bringing this fact to light.

McCain's a stiff, and I mean that in regard to his dancing ability.

Good show.it seems that almost everything he does shows him to be very HUMAN.......

McCain dance???? please spare us. Bad enough to see him and caribou barbie around.

Once again, Mr. Obama mocks JOhn McCain, knowing full well, of his
physical limitations from his days as a pow, this man knows no shame, he should be thanking God for his fine healthy self, but no, it's far more fun to make fun of someone who does have some physical limitations, he's quite a piece of work that Obama.

I absolutely love this man!!! How could you not??? I sooo want him the be my President. You totally have my vote Barack. God be with you and your family

People google PNAC and john mccain and make sure you're sitting down, the information is chilling. Afterwards spread the word.

we'll all be borrowing cindy's prescription drugs if johnny boy gets in office

A little rhyme and style is just what the country needs.

The only dance John McCain knows it the old Potomac Two-Step ... where you keep going around in a circle.

Colin Powells resume;

Four Star General
Secretary of State
National Security Advisor
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff

He's voting for Obama, shouldn't you?

If U look up the definition of socialism U will C Wallstreet. Can U say "Bailout= Walfare"...and some needs 2 stick a fork N John McDummy. He is Done! Obama/Biden I love those 2 and they love Us!

Go obama cant wait til nov 4.just had to say palin is a airhead

JCM dansing? OMG that will be very terible.if he did he will be dubbed the worst dancer in the world not US.
Barak Obama is killing Mccain in everything, the polls,the debates, dancing,temperament,even the kids polling online at nickolodeon gave Obama 2 points above mccain and that is considered as adraw, plus other defeats of mccain by Obama.

The fact that this is presented as some sort of political news makes me sad for the future of our country

Tina October 22nd, 2008 1:15 am ET

You can bet your last dollar (literally) that the voting machines will definately malfunction to put McCain in the WhiteHouse.

Not bloody likely.
It won't be even close enough for him to do that.

"Why didn't Ellen questioned Obama about his early cocain use?"
..............I have an obvious answer for this question.. he had already told the truth with no one has ever asked him and that is called honesty, that is one of the thing we get from obama.....H..O..N..E..S..T..Y

Something is definitely wrong with John McCain.

Sen. Obama has rhythm whether on political stage or on the dance floor!!

of course BO is better dancer than JM, if at all McCain can dance.

GO OBAMA! GO BIDEN

Barack, Godspeed to you and Senator Biden all the way to the White House. Keep the faith and stay strong. Above all do not succumb to the below the belt tactics that McCANE and Pailin-around-with-Idiots have resorted to. You have shown you are well equipped as is Senator Biden too, to Dance with the Wolves of the McHate Republican and exerting complete dominance over them and their rabid wolf pack. Make us proud and please hurry up and straighten out this crippled misdirected and weakened great country of ours.
Cheers! Obama and Biden 2008 and 2012!!!!!

McCain and Palin are not bad people. The fact is that people are just tired and worn out. People just want to be happy and be rewarded for their hardwork. The world is more of these days one family, invading, oppressing, and killing ourselves will not take us to anywhere. This mentality has been around for so long and people just want a change in a new direction. Go Obama Go! The right guy at the right time( divine intervention)

McCAin should have never picked Pailin.

Even McCain knows he should vote for this cool, calm and collected young man

GO OBAMA!

I never realized how much the Republican party flourishes on hate.
I voted straight Democratic this year.

Scott Tucson– Obama has been very honest about his past, as detailed in his autobiographies. Palin has admitted smoking pot, and you might recall Cindy's issues. Everyone is human and has made mistakes in the past. How they can contribute today and tomorrow is more important.

Who care about his dance moves

Looking forward to the show – he gave a good interview last time (and danced). Michelle did dance better when she was on, so he better bring it.... ! Both of them smart, and fun-loving – can't wait for them to be in the White House! Ellen has already provided a "White House" doghouse for the new puppy the girls get (win or lose).

I love how quickly Democrats went from hating Powel for his part in the Iraq War to loving him for being the only one of five to support their canidate.

You can bet your last dollar (literally) that the voting machines will definately malfunction to put McCain in the WhiteHouse.

VIVA OBAMA!!

Acording to Palin, only Socialists dance!??! Another dumb comment.

He is going to Change not only America but the eintire World. He is moving with time and will introduce Modern Politics. I am Proud and will be Proud to see this Man Leading America. The Whole world will embrace him. A NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR AMERICA.
OBAMA – GOD BLESS YOU

Obama is the true leader!! The country need you Obama/Biden

John McCain is looking more and more confused.

McCain is no match for Obama's charisma.
They would need a defibulator backstage for precautions if McCain started to bust his maveric moves.

The one can dance.

Because I love my country I am voting for John McCain

No friends of terrorists in my White House
No abortion extremists in my White House

After seeing and hearing Palin and McCain I realized how misleading, angry and vicious the Republican Party is. I voted early today and VOTED STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC.

Obama is my man, I want to dance with him.

GO OBAMA/BIDEN!

You all are just a bunch of Obama kool aid drinkers.

Those moves that Palin made on Saturday Night Live are very much like those dancing moves you make along with praise and worship team at a church.

his dancing isn't the only thing better than john mccains so is his campaign!!! Go Obama/Biden

These poll results are completely understandable. I can imagine that it would be difficult to get excited about a candidate whose entire campaign strategy has basically been centered around lying about the other candidate's positions on issues and creating propaganda about trivial issues. The McCain campaign's message is essentially, "Don't vote for Obama because (insert lie or misleading information here) instead of "Vote for McCain because(insert another lie)" When the McCain campaign does speak about their own policies, which seldom occurs, they even misrepresent the effects that their plans will have if implemented. How can someone feel enthusiasm about a candidate that is running such a misleading, negative, fear and hate-mongering campaign???

Oabam can "move" right into the White House!

I'm ready for November 4th.

Not only is Barack a very fine gentleman with great character, strength, and honor but also a great dancer...just not as good as Michelle.

However, I'd dance with him any day.

Anyways, I'm ready for the days of silliness and gotcha games to be over.

Obama/Biden '08

IDIOTTTT!!!!!!!..... maybe they dont question it because he wrote about it...you could read all about it.......its funny the ppl who question candidates are the same ppl that wont do their HW

and why doesnt cnn question CINDY MCCAIN drug addiction........since u mentioned it......theres a contrary for everything my friend do ur HW

ppl doont depend on the media ...........readddddddddd independently...

Barack and Michelle Obama are just your average American family with one home and one car and two children. They could walk in a crowed and you would never know they are among us.

Almost the entire media is looking after Barack Obama, so why the hard questions? He is cruising through with no one looking at his record, mind set and history! The totally most un-vetted candidate in US history. Maybe these people know something and they convince all of us to go Obama! American love gambling, after all!?

The scariest halloween costume is the Obama mask. I still am trying to figure out why so many people are sucked in by his lies and deceptions.

Seriously, go read something that is not on the Obama website or the dailykos, and you'll quickly figure out just how scary this guy is.

20 bucks says McCain is better at doing the robot.

When will McCain get it? We're tired of the bogus md-slinging. You'd think tanking in the polls would get his attention–but apparently not. He's almost as clueless as his running mate.

It will be a real pleasure to see a young family a in White House!

He's ready. He is all the things we want in a great leader, and reminds us that he is also human.

Cool Obama! But I heard he sings better, ala Marvin Gaye. I hope Ellen can make him to do that on her show.

I'm stoked, Obama's gonna be in Indy on Thursday! This'll be my third time seeing him live.

I was actually at this rally and as usual his comments are plans for the country were on the mark, we are with you Obama / Biden 08. Yes we are pushing hard for early voting.

I'm sure Obama dances better than McCain!

On a better note, as far as the campaigns go, he even flies better than McCain. McCain's campaign is like an early prop plane with a pilot under the influence. Obama, on the other hand, is the freakin' SR-71 Blackbird. Go, baby go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the Right was supposed to be religious and that giving to the poor was Christian. Apparently I was wrong - helping the poor is Socialism. Silly me.

Oh come off it, Scott. Go watch "W" and see Bush's addictions. Better yet, stop living in the past and start thinking about the economy!

He is going to be coolest president we ever had.

OBAMA IS A NATURAL, HE HAS A GOD GIVEN TALENT. WHERE OTHERS STRUGGLE HE JUST SAILS ALONG, NO PRETENSIONS OR PHONINESS, UNLIKE SOME OTHER INDIVIDUALS RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

Beware to "false" prophets wearing tap-shoes

Hahaaa. Mcain you can't move your arms above your head forget about dancing. Did you forget that looks matter when you are running for the White House? I have to admit that Cindy McCain is fine though as well as Michelle Obama.

Obama asks us to not be so overconfident about winning this election. But we can be cocky can't we? All I can say is that we are going to be dancing all night at the Inaugural Balls in DC.!

Go Barack!

Ellen is a fun show to watch and seems like it would be a blast to be on.

Obama is in it to win it. Gooooooo Obama!

a great president, and a great dancer...how sweet it is...

The wheels are starting to come of the straight talk express

Why didn't anyone ask GW about his cocaine use and alcoholism?

Great moves Senator Obama.

Dear Senator McCain and Governor Palin:

Thanks for playing. Here's your copy of the home game and some Turtle Wax. Please exit stage right.

"That One" shows of dancing. You must be kidding me. "That One" "That One!" O "That One voted for it." "That One dancing too?" "That, that one.

Scott,
The use of Cocaine by Obama will never solve the problems we are facing now..Just wake up GOP... This is not a time for jokes or smears.. Go Obama-Biden. McCain is too rusty and confused..

You go Barack! God Bless you, Michelle and especially "Toot".

We love you! Obama/Biden 08/12

McCain can do Mr. Roboto very well.

Um...why is he dancing when he should be on a plane to see his grandmother???????

CANNOT WAIT TO SEE! HAVE TO WORK SO I WILL USE THE DVR.
OBAMA/BIDEN ALL THE WAY!!!! ONLY 14 MORE DAY TILL THE REBULDING OF AMERICA STARTS!!!!! IT IS GREAT TO HAVE THE FEELING OF HOPE AGAIN. GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!

Well, he's soooo smooth-I know, let's make him President! We will be the envy of all the other citizens of the world. If there is a problem with Iran, North Korea, etc., we'll just have a dance off! He needs to grow-up and so does the press.

McCain suffering from DEMENTIA, and no one asks questions?

Scott – same reason they don't ask about Cindy McCain stealing drugs from her charity for her own use.

Get off it. It's OLD.

Me and my wife we love the Obamas!

Read his boook. He did talk about his cocaine use. What about Bill Clinton's drug use and Bush's alcohol use. They were not questioned about it over and over. What else do you want him to say???

McCain is too stiff, figuratively and actually.

gobama

January 21 2009, will be a day to celebrate all over the world and dance in the streets.

Who cares? Real news, anyone?

DANCE LIKE NOBODYS WATCHING, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

Obama has approached this campaign with the gravity it requires, but it's nice to see the lighter side of his personality.

I just watched AC 360

Kids in this country cold and starving, and RNC took taxpayers money to buy clothes for the Gov. and her kids?

Socialism for the WEALTHY

Great, just what we need to fix our economy – dancing.

Can't wait to see President Obama and First Lady dance at the Inaugural Ball.

Never impressed by Palin!

Ba-Rock on Obama! All the way to the White House!

CNN WHERE IS THE STORY ON PALIN CHARGING THE STATE OF ALASKA FOR HER DAUGHTERS' TRAVEL????????????????????

DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you vote do not listen to anybody,listen to your heart.coz ur vote is important.

he danced on her show earlier this year. he was not that good. lol

There isn't enough oil in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, OR the US Strategic Oil Reserve to make McRusty limber enough to do his 1908 ancient ho-down..

You know, I LIKE this guy. In fact, I think I will vote for him for president. Oh wait – I already did! This Liberal doesn't hate America enough to give it four more years of the same.

Obama – '08

hey, anyone is a better dancer than McMummy. I have two left feet and compare to mccain I am sure I could win a dance competition

Palin should be added to culprits of the collapse with her shopping allowance of 175,000 in this economy!

No wonder they can't focus on the economy. She and Barbie CIndy are on a fashion spree...no wonder they are so dumb. Give Palin the role of VP at Neiman Marcus.

She is a true Elite. At least Obama has holes in his shoes and I see him wearing the same suits, tie and white shirts, blk shoe and brown shoes. Maybe a plaid blue shirt, jeans and a tan shirt? Relates to me, feels my pain more than MCPALINCINDYTODD!!!

Those kids are adorable and the Obama's have kept them sheltered. Great parents.

I am impressed with the basketball skills of Obama and can't wait to see if his dancing is as good as Michelle boasts. Its always good to see the candidates having fun and displaying their talents instead of politiking.

How long before the McCainiacs make a point of saying that McCain would be a better dancer if he hadn't been tortured as a prisoner of war?

I would like to see the dance contest between Obama and McCain.I will bet my money on McCain because not only will he win the but instead break his arm which will be excuse for him of not winning the election.

We need to see the video!

An all around President- that will be great.

i gotta see that!!!! lol

GO OBAMA-BIDEN 08

MEXICO is all for Obama, we cant believe how come Americans are still even talkin about it. It is such a no- brainer!!
Claudio

Wow! Whata real guy he is!

Palin is once again trying to avoid talking about real issues and is going on and on about Biden's comment that Obama, whom Biden is certain will be the next president, will be tested. Does Palin seriously think the next president will not soon be tested? Is this how out of touch with reality she really is? Every new president has been tested by our enemies – sometimes even by our allies! Of course, she's desperate to blow this non-issue into some sort of mud that might finally stick but this one won't either. Hey Palin! Let's talk about the economy, health care, SCHIP, veterans benefits, equal pay for equal work... Not interested? Go figure.

If you live or were born in America you are a real American. Period. America is "one country for all" where we can practice and believe in what we want to. The thought that we are somehow divided by our beliefs defeats all that our country stands for, how un-american.

I can not wait to see it!!!

Love Mr. Obama and I love his family

Why didn't Ellen questioned Obama about his early cocain use? In fact why have't CNN or any of the other news organizations have asked this question? So much for real journalism.

the man is rounded to the tee
in other words he really got it going on

the thought of mccain dancing
KILLS ME
we dont want him breaking his hip.

AHAH.
I LOVE OBAMA.
<3

please post cnn!

hahahahahahahah

I love Barack Obama and just know he will be my next president and I can't wait. God Bless the USA and God Bless Barack Obama!

It must be heartbreaking...watching your dreams of becoming president being swept away while your opponent is dancing and having a good time.

(Can you hear the angry, bitter Republicans? "Ooooh, that Obama...our country is in economic turmoil, and he's dancing around with that gay talk show host...He makes me soooooo mad!")

I am at a lost. Why aren't Senator Clintons people backing Senator McCain. Senator Clinton questioned Obamas ability to lead during a crisis. Does anyone remember the 3 AM call. The same time Obama called his people to let them know he chose Biden over 18 million vote getter Senator Clinton. What a slap in the face and arrogance. Does anyone remember Biden questioning his experience in the primaries? Does anyone remember Senator Clinton questioning Obama's friend, Rev. Wright. Imagine a President who let his children sit in Rev. Wrights church each week and hear sermons of hate, racism, and anti-American themes.

OMG, she was rattling off a bunch of nothing today in the interview. The woman was babbling on and on because she didn't know anything. She was making up stuff as she talked! what a joke.

Sarah Palin has nerve to talk about who's going to be tested. At least other countries will take Barack more seriously than you, barracuda.

I was there and I loved it. I had the chance to see barack and besides what he is doing or has done the truth of the matter is you have to be born a leader, and what palin and mcshame don't understand they also had on the job training everyone that works has been threw that. So to finish what I started Even john mclame followed obama with his change campain that he was using for a min did we forget A true leader obama/biden do what it do!!!!!!

I lvoe Ellen. I will definately be watching.

Obama would also make a much better President than Mccain!
Obama is going down in history as "that One", the one who changed the path America was taking which helped the world and democracy.
The very thing Bush could not accomplish with his cowboy attitude and neither would Mccain.
Obama/Biden 08

C-e-l-e-b-e-r-e-t-y, indeed.

Nice interview with Palin today...made her look good
CNN must not have received their kool-aid ration today...
Obamabloggers pay attention....2 weeks til you have to find real jobs
Joe the plumber won't be able to hire you (He'll be too busy paying higher taxes)...There's going to be a lot of hate speech in the unemployment line soon....lol
So can Obama dance....We've already seen a lot of that....first time with a dance floor....

I can't wait for the Obama family to get into the White House! Those little girls are going to liven up the place.

I think Michelle got the better dance moves. The kids are cute. Both the girls should be fairies for halloween. Obama, can out dance McShame with his eyes closed.

Obama/Biden 2008

I wonder how his dance moves size up against Bill Clinton? We need to know if Billy is a brother or not!!

first

Well he got spirit, you betcha! I quess McCain will inevible use this on his next stump!

Please get out there and vote! He is in my State of Pennsylvania. I just wish he just move back to one of his seven houses.!!!! Well he has a house!

Go Obama and show them you gots spunk!
and Biden can you see Pennsylvania?

Obama/Biden 08/12

McCain is too rusty.

Let's jump on the voting machines in West Virginia and Florida that are switching Obama votes to McCain votes, and determine early where that programming is originating. Then we won't have a scary Halloween.

OMG!!! I hope he is making and good victory dance. Be sure to hire a choreographer so all supporters can learn it.

I can't wait to see O on Ellen!!

How could you not vote for this man? Is half of America crazy?

Beautiful!!!
