Barack, Hillary, and Obama on the WWE


These Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama lookalikes took part in a WWE Raw match on Monday. John McCain and Bill Clinton lookalikes were also there. All three actual candidates taped a message for the show:



This could be useful for a discussion about the effort to appeal to the much-discussed blue-collar voter. The WWE crowd--and probably the need to appear "non-elitist"--has become so important that every candidate felt it necessary to take part in this.

Also, Barack Obama just wasn't funny. I'm just sayin'.

Thanks to Larry H. from The Daily Mirror (an L.A. Times blog) for sending this one along!

Agreed, but isn't it a little entertaining to realize that McCain was born to be a pro wrestler?

i thought that "can you smell what barack is cooking" was clever albeit outdated.

i also think that it would be interesting to discuss the parallels and a difference between the "competetive" nature of national politics and professional wrestling.

Words can not express the stupidity in this.
