Bill Maher on Obama, Clinton and McCain

Categories: Campaign 2008, Let's Run for President!

BMaher.jpgIf you didn’t catch Bill Maher’s political diatribes at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center last Friday night, here are a few memorable lines:

On whichever of the three candidates—Obama, Clinton, McCain—becomes president:

“Either way, it’ll be a victory for the minority—either for blacks, women, or the undead.”

On Hillary’s refusal to step down in the primary race:

“She is just that birthday candle that just won’t blow out.”

On the two presumptive presidential contenders—Obama and McCain:

“Well, at least you’ll have a clear choice—bi-racial [or] bi-centennial. Hip hop [or] hip pops.”

On Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney’s scathing exchanges during the Republican primary debates:

“It’s like a Halloween costume talking to a mannequin.”

Bill from Michigan says:

We need a new name for African American. Obama is ONLY half. Does he get paid to campaign for president even though he's ssid to be a senator? If so, why? It is sad that the best we can get for presidential candidates are Obama, Clinton and McCain. There are, I'm sure, much better people in our country that would do a great job, but they don't run because of the BS of politics. May GOD help the USA.

Michael says:

I hear this all of the time "is this the best we can get to run for president"? They said the same thing about FDR, JFK Reagan, all of them. Hey there are no perfect candidates or presidents. This country will be in good shape no matter who it's leader is. And God will help the USA.

Donald R. Hardy says:

Why in the world Bill Maher has not brought up the fact about Jesus dying on the cross because he said he was God like I am, I will never understand. Can you imagine the problems you would get into today if Bill called himself God? Who is Bill Maher? He would more than likely say, I am. This was Jesus Christ's fault, someone ask him if he was Jesus Christ and he said I am.

Can you imagine what would happen if you called I am starving to death if you lived by the laws of positive thinking? You would get starvation and drought in the world. It is no wonder to me why there are so many heart failures in the world when there are so many people calling I am broken hearted.

Keep at it Bill Maher. I would like to see the Christians put an end to the mockery of the name of Jesus. It sounds so rediculous to here someone say sweet Jesus. It is religulously discursing.
