I like definitions too:

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Obama has gone further that Qualye, not just to insist that he has the right spelling for his potatoe . . .he wrote a book about it. . .he campaigns with the word front and center.

HOPE --I'm selling, if you're buying...prolong your torment

Here ...troll this (aren't we in off-topic? duh):

So here we are …with the first chance (although, slim-to-none) for a woman or black man to become POTUS. But isn’t it interesting theater how the country is now ‘taking sides’ (as if we should be surprised)?

“Oh, you can’t say (whatever) about B.H.O. …you racist S.O.B.!”
“Hey, you can’t say (whatever) about Hillary …you friggin’ male pig!”
“Why, McCain is a War Hero …you socialist bassturd!”

Here’s my suggestion for all future elections: Put all the candidates into a large cardboard box. (anonymous)

Use a CIA/FBI/NSC ‘scrambler’ to distort their voices (no gender/ethnic tells).

No T.V., no photos, no You Tube, just AUDIO.
O.M.G. …we would have to actually LISTEN to their policies/plans/positions/etc!!!!!

Would we get a POTUS that was not much more than a beauty contest?

So you see Shaun, Obama's Potatoe is Hope. Obama sells an evil to weak minded individuals like Lottery tickets for a bad cause. --Apparently, you're buying.
oooohhhhh lawdy, do you need some of Lube's pills!

Of course the biggest problem you have is your introductory false premise. You can't build an argument on a weak foundation, though I'll give you credit for building in a little Clinton-esque wiggle room with your use of "seems."

I'm on to you young man!

Just askin'

From what I recall; some kid wrote on a chalk board the word "POTATO", while looking at the board a secret service agent whispered into Dan's ear's that there should be an "E" at the end of it, both Dan and another agent by his side all agreed so Dan corrected what he thought was a mistake.

If you can find a video, I think you will see him writing only the "E".

I think we have all been in similar situations, but it still was funny.

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP/WXYZ) - Barack Obama has apologized to a Channel 7 reporter Peggy Agar for calling her "sweetie" and dodging her question about autoworkers.

Agar shouted a question to the Democratic presidential candidate during Obama's appearance Wednesday at a Chrysler LLC plant in Sterling Heights.

Agar asks Obama what he's "going to do to help American autoworkers."

He replies, "Hold on one second, sweetie, we'll do a press avail, thanks" but didn't get back to Agar.

Hour later, Obama left a voicemail for Agar. Obama apologized for not getting back to her. He also told Agar he has a bad habit of calling people "sweetie."

Obama then said: "I mean no disrespect, so I am duly chastened on that front."

They're called gaffes, and they're fair game for anyone who wants to make something out of them. After hundreds of campaign stops and speeches, a candidate is bound to stick his foot in his mouth once in awhile. I don't have a problem with it.

FWIW I don't have a problem with anything Bam Bam says, cuz I'm not voting for him. Hope and Change are not policies. They're not legislation. They're not anything. How about some actual details!!

McCain laid out what he's planning in a speech yesterday. He's for nuclear power, securing the border, and withdrawing from Iraq in a timely fashion. He's against earmarks. He's against government take-over of health care. These are all policies I can get behind. He's totally wrong about global warming and campaign finance reform though. But you can't get everything you want unless you ran yourself.

"weak foundation" . . well then start rip'n it down then.

Was he joking when he said this?

"I don’t take money from oil companies or Washington lobbyists, and I won’t let them block change anymore."

And then did this?

I think it's funny.

HOPE you like it too however I'm sure it will not CHANGE your mind with your man-crush and all...

The latter half of your premise is false, some sort of herring I think.

And I'm sending you the dry cleaning bill for my trousers. Bad dog, bad dog!

WHich part?

This? ...

Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope implies a certain amount of despair, wanting, wishing, suffering or perseverance — i.e., believing that a better or positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary.

Maybe Obama thought he was running for president of The North American Union. That would give him 50 plus 11 in Canada and 31 in Mexico. Fascist types like him would probably support spreading his socialist agenda over the entire continent and creating an oppressive central government. We know he has had a long love affair with communism and he has never given any indication that it ended.

Of course, many Republicans have advanced the cause of centralized totalitarian government. Is there anyone left to defend our Constitution?

So if I say: I hope to arrive home safely....

And then drive like a lunatic for 400 miles on public roads filled with traffic, is hope doing me any good?

Just wondering.
