So. What do YOU think?

Am I the only person who sees these headlines about Barack Obama and Joe Biden as running mates and thinks that the combination of their names is creepy? Am I the ONLY person whose mind, when she sees the last names of Obama and Biden, instantly rearranges the letters into Osama Bin Laden? I can't be. Surely the head honcho bigwig democrat guys do the wordplay game before making a big decision like this. I'm sure that Senator Biden is a good choice for a VP candidate (actually, I have no idea if he is. Is he?) but the names? ICK. The names might just kill the election for Obama. In my tiny, small perspective of the election, I KNOW that sometimes? It IS all about the name. And people who are easily influenced by the flow of sounds and the appeal of looks may have a difficult time disassociating the sounds of Obama Biden from that creepy guy overseas.

I'm just sayin...

yes, you are crazy. too much fox news.

i am close to the pa-delaware border and i can tell you that joe biden is a good guy. you can disagree with his politics but he's a good father.

hey i am going to chicago for a bachelor party. we are going to the phillies-cubs games at wrigley. any chance you have room for 24 (drunk) guys?

Hi, thanks for stopping by. Cancun sure does look nice, doesn't it!?

Biden wasn't my first choice for Obama's VP but I must have been out drinking cocoa at Barnes the night he called to ask what I thought. LOL
Sure, the guy probably has a few issues, they ALL do. But I will gladly vote for them!!! The countdown clock on my sidebar is ticking away......

Have a great week and thanks again for visiting!

p.s. I love the Anne Rice books you have on the shelf! She's great isn't she?

I don't know much about Biden... and I hadn't really thought about the combination, but now that you mention it...

Everything about those guys creeps me out...their name combination, their politics, everything. I really hope they do not end up at the helm of this country for four. long. years. Yikes.

justme said...

i didn't think about that but man it is creepy

Honey Mommy said...

I agree with you. It does sounds a little bit... wrong.

gwendomama said...

i think i don't see it at all.

it might be you.

STAY AWAY FROM FOX NEWS MY GOD.

Vodka Mom said...

just let me clear one thing up, I WILL be voting for them. (Am i the only one around here who is broke and sick of this economy???)

tracey.becker1@gmail.com said...

Oh, I am not saying I don't like their party! I'm just saying that their names are an unfortunate combination, and that this small matter may hurt them in the polls...

anymommy said...

It was the first thing I noticed when they were splashed across the front page the other day. So, I guess I'm weird too. But, I don't watch Fox news, so that's not it.

tracey.becker1@gmail.com said...

Did I link to Fox news or something? Is that it? Honestly, I just clicked on the first link that had a headline of Obama and Biden.

I am not a news junkie! That's why this strikes me as so odd, that I've noticed it at all!

Mum-me said...

I have always thought that the "Obama" name would harm his chances of election - but you Americans may as well do what the crazies here in Australia did and vote for something completely different simply because it's different. We ended up with a government that has managed to wreck our economy (which was going just fine by the way) in less than 9 months in power!

I know you guys don't get a choice and have to change governments, but we could have kept a winning team ..... (whinge whinge whine whine)

Kailani said...

I never thought of that but you know I will every.single.time. I hear those names now. hee hee

I couldn't care less whose names are on the Democratic ticket, because anyone from the Blue party, and I do mean ANYONE, will be far superior to the Mensa member we currently have in office. Is it January 20th yet?

Kamis Khlopchyk said...

Yup, I go there too. I don't follow US politics, heck I don't even follow Canadian politics but whenever I hear those names on TV, my mind goes there.

:-)

SydneyDawn said...

I thought this too. I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned it.

OHmommy said...

Wow.

I didn't even realize that.

Lynsey said...

Agreed. Beyond creepy.

gwendomama said...

fox news is NOTORIOUS for 'accidentally' messing up obama's name. they planted the first seed.

the won't stop and it is no accident. that's why all the fox news references, hon.

no offense.
