I scream, you scream, we all scream for Green Tea ice cream?

The Other McCain points out this fine piece of journalism from The Washington Post:

EUGENE, Ore. — With temperatures hitting the 90s here today, Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, paused his campaign for an ice cream break. . . .
Obama, sleeves rolled up and collar open, immediately began surveying options that included Banana Brownie and Muddy River. He asked his aide, Reggie Love, what flavor he wanted. The former Duke basketball player said, “Bubble Gum.”
“You’re showing your age,” Obama said with a smile, then asked for a taste of the Green Tea.
Michelle Obama didn’t need to study the cases. She went with Chocolate. “I’m a purist,” she said.
Obama settled on Mint Chip, “with a slice of Green Tea on the side.”

I can’t imagine that ordering “Green Tea” ice  cream will do much for Barack Obama’s elitist image.  Regarding Michelle Ohama’s choice, wouldn’t a purist order vanilla?

Michelle ordered chocolate? Well that’s another example of the Obamas’ underlying racism! (Tongue firmly in cheek) :)

I’m comfortable voting Republican due to Barack’s utter ignorance when it comes to foreign policy and his inexperience with everything else.

Obama’s supposed inexperience is overplayed. If he were truly inexperienced, this would be his best trait. The reality is that there is lots of record of his experience, it’s just that like the old lady in the bar it’s not the kind of experience that most people talk about.

A great election to vote absentee, because I plan to be busy that day doing something more pressing. Like taking a nap.
