Obama in Austin.
And it's worth noting that he made a bit of news during his visit, lobbing some much-deserved rhetorical grenades toward the VP:
AUSTIN, Texas -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama ridiculed Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday for saying Britain's decision to pull troops from Iraq is a good sign that fits with the strategy for stabilizing the country.Obama, speaking at a massive outdoor rally in Austin, Texas, said British Prime Minister Tony Blair's decision this week to withdraw 1,600 troops is a recognition that Iraq's problems can't be solved militarily.
"Now if Tony Blair can understand that, then why can't George Bush and Dick Cheney understand that?" Obama asked thousands of supporters who gathered in the rain to hear him. "In fact, Dick Cheney said this is all part of the plan (and) it was a good thing that Tony Blair was withdrawing, even as the administration is preparing to put 20,000 more of our young men and women in.
"Now, keep in mind, this is the same guy that said we'd be greeted as liberators, the same guy that said that we're in the last throes. I'm sure he forecast sun today," Obama said to laughter from supporters holding campaign signs over their heads to keep dry. "When Dick Cheney says it's a good thing, you know that you've probably got some big problems."
He also called for an end to tats on tits, which I completely agree with. Think what gravity will do to your ink in 40 years, ladies.
When I'm President, Ya'll are gonna have to keep that bearded guy more than 50 feet away from me.
Now I'm off to pound some dick into the ladies, yeah. Just not any of the hairy armpit chicks in this town, yeah.
Yes I'm a smug bitch.
