Very interesting takes. Well thought out opinions and backed by fact. he only thing is I never see him blink, maybe I'm just missing them and he seems very stiff.

Thank you for sharing, doesn't change who I support but these were interesting and I appreciate what he says.

I thought he was dead. I've gotta say that give the video's a creepy vibe.

I disagree with him about oversimplifying the Rev. Wright situation. Obama may very well agree with some of Wright's sermons, but that doesn't mean he agreed with everything. I, an atheist, went to church for years. How much do you think I agree with? Also, his "killing one family" analogy doesn't hold up. BTW, everyone who says "you shouldn't be a citizen" is an idiot. I'm so sick of that entitled bullshit.

Hillary is not a maniac at all. It's pretty clear that she's going to drop out as soon as she's recouped her losses and is back in the black, but Jackie Mason not being that politically aware manages to miss this.

Interesting but I think I'll file this in the same place I keep Ben Affleck's, Kid Rock's, Barbra Streisand's and John Voight's opinions... the round file in the back of my mind.

Wasn't this guy the voice of the aardvark on the Pink Panther cartoon?

Sorry, but I did not hear any facts. Before this guy takes a holier than thou approach to what Obama may have heard in his Church, perhaps he should review what he has heard in his Synagogue. I think many people who are hyper critical of Obama's paster need to take personal reflection. Measure a man by his actions and behaviors, not the words of others.

I prefer Colin Powell's perspective over Jackie Mason's.

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Myzt_FggfKs&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Myzt_FggfKs&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

"I'll tell you what they're all going to face — whichever one of them becomes president on Jan. 21 of 2009 — they will face a military force, a United States military force, that cannot sustain, continue to sustain, 140,000 people deployed in Iraq, and the 20 (to) 25,000 people we have deployed in Afghanistan, and our other deployments,"

(snip)

"Rev. Wright is also somebody who has made enormous contributions in his community and has turned a lot of lives around," Powell said, "And so, I have to put that in context with these very offensive comments that he made, which I reject out of hand."
But I still hold Powell culpable for his role in the Iraq fiasco.

Yes, Powell has a lot to answer for.

Jakie Mason, too (Caddyshack 2).

I care about Jackie Mason's views of politics approximately as much as I care about Tom Cruise's views of psychiatry.
