I don't get it. So I shouldn't vote for him since he has a lot of money? Or because he looks goofy when he gets his picture taken? Please elaborate.

at least this person would never consider voting for the repubs, ever! not until they reverse their stand against universal health care, and keep out of my bedroom while they're at it.

No, I don't plan on voting for him, but the photo doesn't really disturb me, he was a successful business man, no doubt he enjoys every buck he can get his hand on. :)

Looks like a private gathering of sales managers and business managers, celebrating surpassing some goal, in the lobby of an upscale car dealership.

And the same look they probably give each other, with a successful sale, after a couple hours of haggling with a customer in the business manager's office, who thinks they got a really good deal.

That's not a mercedes sports convertible behind them, is it? :P

Don't know if you meant to post it here, but it likely will receive more attention in the PPR section. One of the moderators can move it for you, if you like.

No, they probably just finished firing a thousand people and taking the money they saved from "downsizing" and are about to shove it into their own pockets, laughing all the way. And the vehicle in the background is probably their getaway car.

My mother knows this man personally, or at least his brother. If it goes down to Obama vs. Romney things will be interesting.

It's the money sticking out of their clothes, it's tacky. I don't want an unfeeling jerk as president that is also tacky.

"Tacky- In bad taste. Wearing a translucent blouse and a black bra is downright tacky."

So you want everyone to not vote for someone just because you think he is "tacky" and an "unfeeling jerk"?

:roll:

Would you rather that everybody voted for someone just because you think he is "fashionable" and an "empathetic nice guy"?

:roll: :roll:

Sorry, kid; I'd rather make up my own mind after considering someone's qualifications for the job, rather than his fashion sense and sociability.

It's just a photo and it's not like he's punting puppies. Crass money waving is the American way :)
I'm more worried that he can't seem to stay consistent on the issues. What exactly would I be voting for?

It's a joke. An obvious one I would think. Stop being obtuse.
