Can't I just have both at my bbq. They both have qualities that would work well for a gathering.

I would be worried that McCain would tell long, boring stories. But I admit that's likely ageist of me.

Sometimes I think Auntie C is like Colbert, talented and always in character - no way this stuff can be for real.

Looks as if Sen. BHObama will name Elizabeth Edwards as Secretary of Health and Human Services since he likes her health plan better than Sen. HRClinton's.Zimbabwe needs to tighten up fiscally because no one is strong enough to carry enough money to buy a CocaCola -- 15 BILLION dollars for a Coke?You definitely need to listen up and read about what's happening in China as regards to Muslims in their schools. Coming to a school in the USofA sooner than you think. Like within the year if Sen. BHObama becomes POTUS.Sen Barack Hussein Obama doesn't really drink alcohol, does he? He takes a sip so that the photographers can have their shots, but as I recall, he's not big on beer or any of the harder stuff. Someone needs to check on what's in his kitchen cabinets, freezer and refrigerator because I can't see him, in his starched white shirt, sleeves rolled up, and suit pants barbecuing ANYthing. Now, Sen. John Sidney McCain would probably sit around backwards in a straight chair and share about his old Navy days and what Viet Nam prisons were really like. Who cares about BBQ when you have a hero to listen to? Not me, anyway. (The only time I could get my brother to talk about Viet Nam was when he was drunk. Now he's in AA so it's impossible to bring up the subject.)

I would rather bbq Obama because his flesh seems more tender. McCain seems like he would be gamier; chewier.

HF, they probably would be lots of fun but I probably would tick Hillary off somehow - she's a lot like my older sister.

I wonder which couple would get into a drunken argument first?

Well at the Clintons we'd do shots of whiskey, play beer pong, and listen to some really great drinking songs like JIMMY BUFFET.

The McCain's seem too much like my family: he'd grouse about the grill and the food, she'd grouse about him. I'd go with the Obamas.Barack would complain about the grill not getting hot fast enough, Michelle would rub two sticks together and get it going in seconds, then get everyone into a drunken game of Twister while they wait to eat.
