In lieu of using his Blackberry to notify all of his constituents who his VP is by text message and as a result of false texts being sent.....
Obama decides to call us all, one by one, to try to fix yet another dim idea!
What do you mean there is no Obama pizza? McCain has the Crescendo Rising Crust Pizza.
Ok, can you hear me now?
Sen. Obama calling the Ghostbusters to help him get rid of Sen. John McCain.
Me? ........ all I'm wearing is a flag pin right now - what do you have on?
"OK Hillary, we'll rock, paper, scissors for the VP position!"
Uh, sure Bill, I'll hold...
Damn this chair really sucks.
Hello, I would like a large pizza with everything - and not the McCain brand of pizza.
{~`Front desk, may I help you?`~} "Yes... Could you please send up a desk and a bed? I have two hours before my next campaign stop..."
Elmo loves to talk to you (does typical Elmo laugh).
The press lowers the "boom" on Barack's private conversation.
"Long-time listener, first-time caller... I'd like to request a song by Chicago."
Hi, honey...gotta send something; what's my Gmail password?
Let me get this straight Michelle we need bread&milk and the gas prices are down today so you want me to fill up on the way home.

"Hello Hillary I know that it is 3:00 a.m. but you are the only person I know that stays up til this time in the morning I really need your advice what do you think about Biden?"
.... Now, take a deep breath and wipe that pretty face. No, you aren't getting old and ugly. No, you aren't fat. Things like this happen. Just because you didn't win the Miss Buffalo Chip contest doesn't mean your life has no meaning....
While Obama lowers the boom on the McCain campaign, somebody from the McCain campaign actually orders the boom to be lowered on Obama.
Now look Biden, you've got to be able to do the fist-bump correctly. Get it wrong and it'll be all over the news.
For the last time Hillary, I am ready to be the President!
"Finally John...I've been on hold listening to your "oldies but goodies" for 20 minutes...it's stuck in a loop though...keeps playing "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys over and over."
.... Even the Secret Service doesn't know where he went? .... He's missing? .... Okay, did you tag his underwear with his name and contact info like I suggested the last time this happened? ....
Hello? Is this Candy Crowley? Who should my VP be?
Is Florida flooding yet? Cause I got my high pants on....
Here's my caption for today, 8/21/2008
"What did Hillary say?"
Cindy, calm down and take a deep breath. I'm sure it's just a fluke. No, I'm sure John remembers who you are. Really....
Put me down for $100 on Romney.
Does McCain have any relatives that are governors? We need to be sure their voting machines are working properly by November.
Obama on a conferece call using a LAND LINE? That is soooooo 1990s.
"Welcome to the newly automated Official Democrat Party Vice-President

"What is that round thing with the holes in it on the front of this telephone?"
Yes, yes, you gave them bagels today, but I'm talking about eating bagels at the "White House"
While your checking out the voting machines in Ohio, be sure and check out the machines in Florida. We don't want that to happen AGAIN.
"How did I make my choice??? Very scientific.....ever hear of Rock Paper Scissors?"
The economy is so bad here in St. Louis they sold all the furniture in this office just to pay the rent.
Hello can I speak to the chairman of the democratic convention************* Hello this is Barack obama, I'm calling because I must have gotten a virus from somewhere and I'm feeling really sick. I don't think i'll be able to make it to the convention, I'M sooooo sick I wouldn't want to lose it in front of all those people. I was thinking I would get hillary to accept my nomination for me!
How many times should I emphasize that I only own a single telephone? Other than McCain, who has the money to pay for SEVEN cell phones?
"How many VP choices do I have? I don't know I'll have to check with my staff."
Yes, this is 800-BMY-VEEP. No, I haven't decided yet. Sure, go ahead and play your audition tape ...
If the economy was better, this place could afford a cordless

I hope the White House has better carpet than this
