saw this clip yesterday and it made me laugh--I think it illustrates the utter silliness of the socialist accusations against Obama.

I made that same remark about kindergarten to my husband a while ago and I just had to smile when I heard Obama say it on The Daily Show last night. :-)
ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN
(a guide for Global Leadership)
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

My favorite quote, isn't a funny one at all but I think it really turned this election around: "The Fundamentals of our economy are strong"
What I always wanted to ask him: Did you say that because you meant it, or did you say it because it was on a talking point card?
================================
Reward Republicans for 8 years of failure? No way, No how, No McCain!
I can't get the whole idea of lipstick on a pig out of my head.
Not quotes, but for the past few weeks my students and I have scoured the internet for ridiculous accusations. These are the two favorites:
John McCain may have been involved in a motor vehicle accident in which there may have been a fatality (in 1964);
Barack Obama has gained followers by hypnotizing them.
According to McCain's speechwriters, that line was an improv made by John.
Personally, my favorite is Obama's:
"It's wonderful to be back in Oregon.
