JibJab is at again, providing much needed comic relief with a very silly video cartoon featuring some of our favorite characters: John McCain, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Hillary Clinton.
This may not be the greatest political satire, but that’s not really the point. It’s a fun ditty set to the tune of Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changing”.
I enjoyed this and I hope you do to!
The 2008 general election battle between John McCain and Barack Obama is starting to take shape. This election is a critically important referendum on the future direction of the United States. We have very serious decisions to make about both our bad economy and problematic foreign policy, including the Iraq War.
Meanwhile, much of mainstream media and talk radio focus on unfounded, meaningless, and downright stupid attacks on candidate spouses Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama. I cannot possibly find a better way to address this than to include some comic relief with this video from The Daily Show’s John Stewart:
I hope that this video is final word on candidate spouse controversies. This election should be about the policies and character of the candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. The attacks against both Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama are ridiculous and frustrating distractions from important issues. People perpetuating these attacks are shameless.

Watch this video:
Bob Barr may have an impact on the presidential election. Some speculate that Barr will take away enough votes from John McCain in swing states to enable Barack Obama to win those states.

It is interesting that presidential candidates have devoted time to appear on comedy shows and other popular TV shows in recent years. Some people criticize this, but I like it as long as we don’t lose sight of the real issues. It is important for our president to be able to connect with the voters, but let’s not elect someone simply because we think they would be a good “drinking buddy”.

As the Democratic Party moves towards finally choosing its 2008 presidential nominee, the issue of “electability” is central, especially for the remaining undecided super delegates. Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have strengths, weaknesses, and very similar positions on the main policy issues. The Democrats want to choose the candidate who has the best chance to defeat John McCain in the general election on November 4th.
As often is the case, after reading many articles, listening to talk radio, and watching TV news shows of the serious pundits, I find that comedy shows have as much insight and needed perspective.
I enjoy this video of Stephen Colbert debating with himself on the question of electability.
