DAMN!!! I hate to say it but Joe Scarbough was right he did look a little darker |
|
I wonder if that's the makeup that he had on at first when Scarbough said this I said to myself WHAT AN ASS WHOLE but after looking at some of the pics he did look darker.

20. maybe we start measuring McCain's Campaign Alert! level by the color of his makeup |
|
Level White Guy - things are going well Level Pasty - The polls are starting to shift Obama Level Peachy - Needs to look more 'living' to connect with Americans currently alive Level Orange - Break out the plastic sheeting and duct tape, Pfotenhauer!

33. Speaking of his appearance, his left jaw doesn't protrude like it used to - his whole face appeared |
|
more symmetrical to me, not so much as a squirrel with a jaw full of acorns. And he has DEFINITELY had something done to his eyes - they are open twice as wide as they used to be--Botox, eyelift--something.

2. Sarah Palin didn't. She must not have been using her tanning bed lately.... |
|
and I know that McCain's $5,000+ make up job made him look 2 years younger, at least.
Did Joe talk about that?

36. Then answer a question for me, please. On some of his earlier debates, I thought the lipstick they |
|
used on Obama was too dark purple, and I thought it made him look "clownish." I told my boss who gave me the e-mail to someone at his national office and told me to contact her. The problem is I don't think my boss expected me to express myself exactly the way I did to her, and she didn't seem pleased. :shrug:
But, give me your opinion about the lipstick, please.

8. I don't care if he was green or purple - anyone who would note vote for him based on his "hue" |

wouldn't have voted for him in the first place, anyway.
Goes to show you that dead intern Joe has nothing of substance to add to the situation.

11. You're right--McCain didn't look nearly as ghastly pale |
|
as he usually does. Maybe it was the lack of green-screen backdrop, or another of those $5200 makeovers. But yes, he definitely didn't look quite as much as though he'd just climbed out of his own grave. Good observation!

18. McCain looked horrible |

Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much make-up. He looked like he should be laid out for a viewing.
Obama looked fine. I'm sure he had some make-up, but it wasn't obvious, and I can't let myself believe that appearing to have a somewhat darker skin tone will affect him one way or the other.
Maybe I'm an eternal optimist, but that's my personal take on all of this.

I'm sure the makeup people did it because it made his skin look better under the type of lights there.

24. different networks different hue |
|
I began watching the debates on C-Span and really noticed how much darker Obama than normal. I thought it might be the lighting or just the video feed. C-span started to have problems with their signal so I switched to ABC and the color seemed normal there.

Next thing you know he'll be sporting a full-on Angela Davis 'fro and referring to McCain as an Ofay. Be afraid, America! Be very afraid!
Good lord, we're in the middle of two wars and a banking crisis that's going to have untold numbers of Americans sleeping on the street. Any pundit wasting air-time about skin-tone should be fired. That is all.

I think what it was is this; you know how when you look at a bright light, your pupil constricts, then if you walk into a dark room, you can't see anything....well, I think that when they were looking at mccain, they were blinded by the glare coming off his whiter than white ass, then, when they looked back at Obama, they couldn't see him for a few seconds. They just spent far too much time looking at mccrap. The rest of us--not so much. LOL...
Stupid fuckers....this is such a stupid thing to say. There was nothing wrong with Obama's color last night, at all.

TAN!
In any case, and not to appear naive because I was born and raised right here in America as a "white" man who "crossed the color line" (as our deeply and inherently racist society used to phrase it) -- but in any case, why should it matter how dark Obama is? And why is it "DAMN!!!" and "I hate to admit it"? And if Moron Joe wants to make Obama's current flesh tone a valid issue for discussion then what about McCain's palor?
McCain is usually so white he's damn near translucent! That's part of the reason he has so many MELANOMAS on his face, and God only knows where else. But while people like Moron Joe are on a national cable TV network making a major point of Obama's current tanning level, MCCAIN, THE 72 YEAR OLD CANCER VICTIM, WAS STANDING OVER THERE LOOKING LIKE SOME KIND OF DEVIATE TROLL BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID TO TURN HIS HEAD TO LOOK AT OBAMA WITH THE TEN POUNDS OF TINTED SPACKLE FILLING THE CRATERS ON HIS FACE, TOPPED WITH MAKEUP ABOUT TEN TONES DARKER THAN MCCAIN'S NORMAL SNOW WHITE TONE, THAT IS ALL THERE DUE SURGERY ON A MALIGNANT MELANOMA.
McCain didn't look at Obama last night because he was in mortal fear of his spackle wrinkling or cracking and falling out in great chunks. And McCain only just recently had another melanoma removed. But Moron Joe didn't mention McCain's new found glow because in America the tone of a "white" mans flesh doesn't matter. It's even OK to sit in out in the sun and get darker than many of those "black" people whose skin tone is such an issue here in the land of the free. As long as you can reasonably be determined to be "white", you're a charter member of the association and it's OK to be whatever color you can darken to.
As they say, I'm just sayin'.
I trust Moron Joe as far as I can throw him. He's a Republican mole and he always will be. The only reason he ever says anything remotely critical of a Republican is to feign credibility so he can set up the Democrats for another attack. After all, if all you do is attack you become FOX Noise, so Moron Joe retreats from time to time but only to work on his next tactic. Or is it a strategy? :)
IMO, THIS is the real "color"/"tanning index" question in this day and age of vapid, dimwitted hockey mom Republican VP choices. Why does McCain refuses to release his medical records? Moron Joe is very sly at turning the camera away from the real issues. He'd rather bring up Obama's tan index than admit that Obama stood toe to toe with McCain last night on McCain's turf and McCain couldn't win. SO he changes the subject with the deviously played race card.
