LOL.

He must have been looking for a slot that said:

"PRESENT"

I think he was having last minute concerns about his qualifications.

He had to make sure he wasn't voting for Pat Buchanan.

There were over 100 choices on the Chicago ballot for many different things. It probably took me 10 minutes to get through my ballot - we had all kinds of initiatives and judges to vote for or against. Gee, maybe you guys should start a thread on how long it takes him to decide what he wants for breakfast and how that's a threat to the nation or makes him an idiot. Sheesh.

Indeed.

There's more to vote on then just the Presidency. Plenty of local races and such. I would hope that presidential candidate would take the time to make sure he read everything and marked his ballot correctly.

I know I'm always the last to make up my mind at a restaurant. At least for the dinner selections. Breakfast is easy. Three eggs scrambled soft, bacon done up crispy, shredded hash browns and toast. I'll leave a tip.

Here's the LINK and there's another
link there if you would like to see Obama and Michelle voting. Daughters were
there also, so it was cute and our patriotic right in voting.

Don't confuse the kool-aid drinkers with facts. Doesn't matter if the ballot had local initiatives on it that took some time to read. The Obama haters are starting the bashing early. Just look at how many threads about Ayers and Rev. Wright and threads claiming "the end of civlization as we know it" is near. It's gone from sad to pathetic.

If Obama loses, life will continue as it is now. If McCain loses, life will continue as it is now. Place your faith in GOD, the only one who can truly bring about "the change we need" and in Jesus Christ, the original maveric.

There was a 3 minute time limit at my polling place. Reading through the amendments and the vague jargon takes longer sometimes to decipher just what they want to pull on the voters.

Truly, it seems so.

Also true, but I have to admit that i would much rather McCain do the losing.

3 Minutes? is that actually legal? There is no way I could have gotten through my entire ballot in three minutes.

I took my 4 year old with me. It took me at least 10 min if not longer to vote. Shruggggggggggg.........I'd rather be sure and check it twice especially with all the talk about the new machines then go away wondering if I touched the right answer I was wanting to touch.

I do find it surprising he did not know the different initiatives on the ballot. After all he is running for president. I would think he would some knowledge about what is on the ballot.

It took me awhile to vote since we no longer use the simple, easy punch cards since Florida people are too slow to understand how to punch out the chads.

I voted with the paper anyway since I don't like the computers plus my polling area at city hall was stuck in this room where you could fully watch any and everyone cast their vote. My wife totally hated it I was just glad we had the smallest precinct.

I don't think he was ignorant. But he probably still wanted to take the time to read everything and vote carefully to make sure he did everything correctly. With voting being a supposedly important thing, I can't imagine why he'd want to take a few extra minutes with it.

Everything isn't in the two sentence blurb they have on the ballots. Propositions and initiatives are to change laws. They have to be studied with care, and you can't do that in the voting booth.

The implant that George Soros had placed in Obama's brain to control him was shorting out!

Thanks
