Presidential Height Math - Obama is 6'1.5 inches and McCain is 5'7 inches tall, etc.....

[FrenchieCat]

Ages: 46 versus 71 = 25 years difference

McCain has been in the Senate 25 years; Obama has not.

One has short cropped hair; the other has baby fuzz

One is Black and White; the other is white on white.

Marriage: 1 marriage versus 2 marriages (first ended in divorce)

discuss......

[BostonMa]

1. >>One is Black and White; the other is white on white.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. History has shown it is generally the tallest who win the presidency

generally that is. Hilllary is kind of short but we haven't had ladies yet.

[judasdisney]

63. Allegedly until Al Gore

nearly every candidate who took the White House was the taller candidate.

Of course, Gore actually won but conceded the White House.

[shadowknows69]

2. Cool he's got the reach and I wager the speed advantage

Should be a helluva boxing match

[AtomicKitten]

3. Oh, that's a smackdown waiting to happen.

Go get him, Barack!

[Exilednight]

25. I forsee a WWE Hell in a Cell match. I want to see Obama frog splash McCain from the.........

top of the cage.

[AtomicKitten]

28. something like this?

[NYCGirl]

4. The debates are going to be interesting. I wonder if McCain will have to stand

on a platform.

[FrenchieCat]

5. I'm sure that all debates will be "sit-downs".......

Cause of McCain's age.

[NYCGirl]

7. LOL! I hadn't thought of that.

:rofl:

[Exilednight]

26. I'd make him stand. McCain needs the debates more than Obam does.......

so Obama can set many of the terms.

[elocs]

13. No, McCain will be sitting on Lieberman's lap

so Lieberman can try and make McCain utter semicorrect answers. Or they could just let Lieberman do all the speaking and have McCain stand beside him.

[polichick]

6. You forgot this part...

One is a warmongering prick and the other is wise and inspiring. :)

[stellanoir]

8. One is an absolute visionary

One is a shrimp with an antiquated war mongering ideology who may or may not have early dementia but undoubtedly has PSTD.

[bigwillq]

9. Obama's cuter.

:bounce:

[Blue-Jay]

10. OK.

:shrug:

11. Should we now contemplate on who wears boxers and who wears briefs?

Or, perhaps, who wears boxer-briefs???

[TahitiNut]

16. Let's not.

:crazy:

[XemaSab]

23. Here:

[KAZ]

27. That Depends....

[Hepburn]

47. Depends?

...ummmmm....I think those are for McCain! :hi:

[Blondiegrrl]

49. Obama goes commando.

:evilgrin:

[RoccoR5955]

54. Who wears Boxers or briefs question was already asked of McCain...

...he said,"Depends." He added that he can tell his by the skid marks on them.

[redqueen]

12. 25 years in the senate... that is the status quo personified.

When did he marry his second wife? How much younger is she? She seems to fit the 'trophy wife' caricature.

[redqueen]

20. So I see that John cheated on his first wife with Cindy.

Then divorced his first wife. Lovely.

[Cali_Democrat]

22. A woman scorned

Hopefully she's got some dirt on McCain she's willing to give up.

[tammywammy]

58. I don't think the first wife will come out against McCain

Bush would have used her in 2000.

[KamaAina]

14. One's name is spelled "Johm" in this instant Internets classic

while many misspell the other's name as "Barak". This does not include those who spell his last name "Osama" on purpose. :grr:

[Bluebear]

15. What is "white on white"?

[Hepburn]

18. Boring. n/t

[Bluebear]

19. Talk about ignorant.

[Hepburn]

17. McCain is only 5'7" tall?

Wow....I am female and I am 3.5 inches taller than he is!

[rurallib]

21. McCain - a combover for the 21st century

One has a wife who scares the bejeebers out of me.

[XemaSab]

24. Here's Cindy:

[depakid]

29. Many Americans are superficial enough that the height thing may just make a difference!

or at least make up for other superficial characteristics that people like or dislike.

The height thing is also apparent here:



- something to put up on posters all across the country, if you ask me.

[FrenchieCat]

31. Well, when people see McCain in person, I'm sure they are a bit shocked....

cause television normally makes one look bigger than life.

On the other hands, Obama is not at all disappointing, and in fact, he looks better in person. Add his 5'9" wife to the mix with her heels on, and the Obamas are going to be looking pretty awesome compared to the McShrimpies. LOL!

[depakid]

35. I expect Republicans will demand something be done about podiums

at any debate.

Camera angles.... telephone books to stand on....

[FrenchieCat]

39. It will take hours of preparation!

[Blondiegrrl]

50. That photo is disturbing on SO many levels. eom

[peoli]

32. One will be drop-kicked into the wall, one will give us all an Ogasm when he become the next pres.

[Andrew99]

33. What's Obama's weight?

I'd say 190 or so.

[Faygo Kid]

43. Hey, how did you get over here?

I'd say 170, but you are on the wrong thread. We're having a great time with your original post on Keith.

OK, fess up here: Who are you really?

[Pirate Smile]

53. The MSNBC bio on Obama called him 175 lbs of pure ambition.

[GodlessBiker]

34. "McCain is 5'7 inches tall" and getting smaller.

[FrenchieCat]

42. Sadly, McCain is in that time of shrinkage, isn't it?

[Faygo Kid]

45. Believe me, that's not the shrinkage that worries him as he gets older.

I'm not quite that age, but FrenchieCat, I'm still tall.

Not quite as tall as I was 30 years ago. If you get my drift.

[FrenchieCat]

46. LOL!

:blush:

36. both served their country but only Obama will have as CIC

[VotesForWomen]

37. more compelling logic from the O cultists. nt

[FrenchieCat]

38. How's your SHORT Goddess of Peace doing?

Tidying up her office, and trying to find something to win by cause she cannot win on her own merit?

[Faygo Kid]

40. You forgot to add Obama's hat!

Looks like about 6'8" of tall presidential timber to me.

[phrigndumass]

55. now that's a keeper!

:D

[JI7]

41. McCain is 84 years old

[RoccoR5955]

56. I think you left out a couple of zeros... McAncient is 8400 years old! n/t

[JRH_Mom]

44. Well

I'm not saying I'm for McCain, but my hubby's just over 5'7" and looks like Brad Pitt and's built like a...well, I'd probably vote for him before either of them!! :-)

[Blondiegrrl]

48. Whoa! McCain's a shortie!

I did not know that. Thanks for the trivia!

[rockymountaindem]

51. So now we're using height as a disqualifying factor?

That's nice :sarcasm:

[RoccoR5955]

57. Historically, the taller candidate wins. n/t

[rockymountaindem]

59. I know

However, some of the responses to this thread suggest that being short is a disqualification in and of itself.

[kskiska]

52. Who wears the boxers?

[FrenchieCat]

60. Lol!

Now that's funny! :rofl:
