Hillary Clinton's Top Ten list, revealed!!!

Barack Obama, in his most recent appearance on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman," gave viewers a Top Ten list of surprising facts about himself (our favorite: "In the Illinois primary, I accidentally voted for Kucinich").

Hillary Clinton gets to give the list tonight (a nice little bit of exposure, as we previously noted, right before voters head to the polls Tuesday in Indiana and North Carolina), and she'll be elaborating on the reasons she loves America.

For those who can't stay up or have other late-night viewing habits, here they are: ...

... 10. We have more Dakotas than every other country combined.

9. Canadian bacon: soggy and chewy; American bacon: crisp and delicious!

8. Thanks to the Internet, I can order new pantsuits 24/7 - there's your pantsuit joke, Dave. Are you happy now?

7. 232 years and not one cookie shortage.

6. TiVo

5. Did I mention the soup? Mmm, soup.

4. Did you know former President Teddy Roosevelt was an American?

3. Where else can you get a car painted for $29.95?

2. Is this the part where I say, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"?

1. Apparently anyone can get a talk show.

Members of the Republican response team (who NEVER seem to sleep) tried to step on Obama's list with their own (much-too-serious) suggestions; we imagine they'll be producing one soon to counter Clinton.

Statistically speaking, If you vote for Hillary Clinton, You probably also voted for George Bush. It stands to reason that if you are buying into her spiel, that Bush was also successful in pulling the wool over your eyes. Hillary is more straightforward though about her plans to obliterate Iran. maybe you should just stay home on election day. We need some time to correct your past voting fiascos.

I find Sen. Clinton's comments distasteful, to have her speaking so capriciously of her love for this nation, the thing that should be propelling her through her presidential campaign.

If she were to give a serious, truthful list of her reasons for loving America, it would reveal much about her goals for her presidency. Not only does she not give us this, but she mocks the request with these statements.

Obama is our Savior. Obama, Ayers, and Reverend Wright are Right! God D*** america! The stupid, bitter, racist "typical white people" of pennsylvania voted for clinton. How disgusting, now they have even more blood on their hands! They ignored their opportunity to redeem themselves for their racim, and evil past -> slavery - to finally make Michelle proud. How sad, you bitter people confirmed that Michelle is right, this is a down right mean county. Please no hater responses, but you bitter, typical Indiana white people, please stop buying guns and save your money for my reparations check! Obama ''08, Repartions Check, ''09! http://www.npr.org/programs/specials/racism/010827.reparations.html

Anyone not voting for Obama is a racist!!!

It's good that the American candidates have some humorous side despite the tight contest, very tight in fact. In other countries, nobody laughs at this point.

[Jim Bob]

Surely Hillary can squeeze one joke about Reverend Wright into her top 10 list?

[Kimmers]

Charlotte, North Carolina LOVES Obama!!! He will win in North Carolina....he will be our next President! Prepare for CHANGE!

[Randy]

Here's one more...

I love the smell of BBQ this time of year.

[Aldrahn]

"Anyone not voting for Obama is a racist!!!"

Yes, and his 95% black voters, are not.. get a life, you Obamite!

[Ben]

Why do I feel like my IQ dropped after reading this. I swear...This was even more childish than I would have expected.

[Bryan]

hey, eric, i think you missed the point of the top 10 list. lighten up a bit.

[Rob]

Sure, how about, "1. Apparently anyone can be a pastor."

[moebius8]

Obamamania why should i pay you money for the actions of the people who enslaved you. My family is descended from Northern Abolitionists who went to war for one reason to free your ancestors.
For you to ask me and mine to pay you and yours for actions my ancestors died to oppose is an insult to them and their memory.

[Mike]

Its all over for Obama.A pure lil boy must drop out now

I'm tired of people making other voters feel guilty for not voting for a man raised by a radical muslim, a racist preacher, who preaches about change but not how he will achieve it. I grew up in a 65% black school and there is more hate and racism directed at whites than vice-versa. Obama is a preacher and not a leader. Reverend White needs to be with the other ignorant and uneducated AL Sharpton and Jesse Jackson who have no concept of how to use words in a sentence. If voting a black man into office redeems your past negatives against blacks that is the wrong reason to vote. Vote for the smartest, prepared candidate. Only weak, lazy, uneducated, racist, whiney blacks would compromise their integrity to accept reparations checks. At this point most of the U.S. welfare checks go to buy gold chains and cadillacs while the children stay home alone and unmaintained. Oh Wait, Grandmother will always look out for the childrens. Stop Crying and take responsibiltiy for your own actions. My black neise is driven, intelligent, and doesnt use past mistakes as a cruch. Change the part of your culture that "clowns" on someone for improving and educating themselves. Collen Powell is black like it or not, he just chose to educate himself.

Eric, you're an idiot. This is the David Letterman Show not Meet the Press and Barak Obama's answers were just as "humorous".

[Sally]

wow, you people are morons. "Obamania" was being sarcastic. He was trying to make fun of Obama supporters- he's a troll who's with you. And you Clintonites jumped on him. What does that show about you?

[Sally]

You people do realize that "Obamania" was making fun of Obama supporters? That his whole post was sarcastic and indulged in Rev Wright language? And you Clintonites just jumped all over your own troll? Good grief.

[David]

I believe Obamamania is a plant for either the republicans or Hillary. He does not represent the supporters of Obama who I know to deeply love this country and work to bridge race, economic, and social divides. A vote for Obama is a vote for the better angles of our nature, a vote to built on a foundation of hope. Hope that we can all work past of differences and improve our economy, create affordable health care, and generally bring sound thinking back to the white house.

[Clinton4Queen]

Clinton is our only choice - to vote otherwise is something only and idiot would do!

Thankfully, Superdelegates are smarter than most of you!

Don't be a sexist, vote for Hillary!

[UGLY PANTSUITS JOKES]

I AM GETTING TIRED OF SEEING HILLARY ON LATE NIGHT TALKS SHOWS EVERY EVENING BEFORE A PRIMARY. SHE IS A DISGUSTING PANDERER.

OH...... WE ARE SO OVER HER PANTSUIT JOKE. SHE MILKS EVERYTHING TO DEATH. THE JOKE ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE WASN'T THAT FUNNY ANY WAY. NOW......SHE USES PANTSUITS ALL THE TIME AS A EXCUSE TO GO ON SHOWS AND TALKS ABOUT STUPID CRAP!!!!!!

HER GAS TAX IS THE REAL JOKE.. EVEN GOV.CORZINE ISN'T UP FOR IT.

[CORE DEMOCRAT]

OBAMA WINNING NORTH CAROLINA! WHAT A SURPRISE! THE AA COMMUNITY CREATES HIS WIN! SHE STARTS WITH A 20 POINT DEFICIT! AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON! AND WHEN THERE IS A GENERAL ELECTION, IT WILL NOT BE THE 12% AA VOTE THAT MATTERS! IT WILL BE THE 25% HISPANIC VOTE THAT MATTERS. AND THIS IS HILLARY! BUT IF OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE, THIS VOTE GOES TO McCAIN. AS DOES MIDDLE CLASS WHITE AMERICA! BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY EXCLUDES ALL BUT AA'S. NOT GOOD FOR A PRESIDENT WANT TO BE. AND HIS OWN BOOKS JUST REINFORCE WRIGHT'S VIEWS.

[BJ]

Oh boy, the Kool-Aid, salaried bloggers are out in force again today... Save it, Obama is floundering in a sea of question marks!

Some rural, regular folks still think he's a Muslim, haven't you read? Clearly, he is unelectable in Nov.

Obama, there's a new employment possibility open: "Wanted, new preacher/pastor for TUCC... former head pastor denounced. Qualifications: Good orator, full of rhetoric, good at denunciations, good judgement not necessary, will train!"
