New Obama Attack Ad "90 Percent" Highlights McCain's Incessant Blinking During Hofstra Debate

According to Internet pundits, John McCain blinked nearly three million times in the span of an hour and thirty minutes last night, but sadly, the cameras only captured roughly three thousand of those nervous little twitches.

Naturally, the Republican presidential hopeful's involuntary eyelid convulsions are all everyone is talking about today, but in case you somehow missed it, Columbia alumnus Barack Obama has you covered!

In a newly released attack ad, the Obama camp highlights McCain’s incessant blinking while pointing out that he voted with George W. Bush “90 percent” of the time.

In other words, he’s 90 percent pro-Bush, contrary to McCain's claims that he is a maverick.

You would think that after all the years of being in the media and in the public eye that John McCain would have gotten comfortable in his own skin in front of the camera.

OR

I guess that is what you get when you have other people write your material and tell you what to say. You know it is a bundle of lies, but you have to say it to make people doubt your opponent or you will lose the election John.

The blink, winks, scowls, eye twitches, the ever irritating tongue out while breathing in are all give aways that John McCain is telling some very big FIBS. Oh yes John, we need full disclosure!!! JKH Posted 10/16/2008 10:55 PMReply

Interesting that "Columbia alumnus Barack Obama" was in New York at the same time as, guess who? Bill Ayers, our favorite domestic terrorist! Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983, but stayed in New York another two years; while Ayers attended Bank Street College, earning a M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education there in 1984. Ayers continued his studies at Columbia an Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction in 1987, but it is unclear whether he resided in New York while doing his doctoral research, since from 1984 to 1988 his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, worked for the prestigious Chicago law firm Sidley & Austin (rich family connections are always helpful, even when you're a leftist radical). My guess would be that the Ayers couple resided together in Chicago, ...which is where Obama arrived in June of 1985. Three years later (Fall 1988) Obama entered Harvard Law School, but the next summer he returned to Chicago where he worked as a summer associate at, you guessed it, the law firm of Sidley & Austin. Thatâ��s where he met his wife, Michelle, who became an associate at the firm, just as Bernardine Dohrn was offered an adjunct professorship at Northwestern Law School.

Of course these are mere coincidencesâ�¦ So, letâ��s all just go Disney and sing: â��ITâ��S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALLâ�¦â��. Posted 10/17/2008 11:01 PMReply

Not to detract from the point of your post butâ�¦
An hour and a half is ninety minutes which is 5400 seconds. In order to blink three million times in that amount of time he would have to blink 556 times a second. The average person blinks once every 2-10 seconds (according to Wikipedia). The average person blinks at a rate of .12 m/s, (http://www.clas.ufl.edu/jur/200405/papers/paper_rennie.html) John McCain apparently blinks at a rate of 133.32 m/s. Thatâ��s 298 mph. Doesn't this seem just a bit unlikely? Posted 10/20/2008 10:17 AMReply
