During the October 15th debate, Barack Obama referenced a conversation he had with a skeptical voter, “Joe the Plumber.” Joe was concerned that Obama’s new tax plan would punish him for making $250,000 a year.
Obama’s response: I just want to spread the wealth around. Sound good to you?
But wait until you see what Fox News had to say.
You work in Corporate America, but you’re a fashion-forward style enthusiast? Well, have a little fun “sexing-up” your power suit with a pair of ultra-sexy stilettos that are just conservative enough.

It’s that time of year again… BEYONCE season! That may either really excite you or make you nauscious. Either way, she is one of the most powerful celebrities in the World.
I’m not making this up. Based on both earnings and fame, Forbes.com ranked Beyonce as the fourth most powerful celebrity — after Oprah, Tiger Woods & Angelina Jolie. So make fun of “Sasha,” her alter ego, all you want… but when the numbers are in, Beyonce is clearly coming out on top!
With two platinum albums, a clothing line, L’Oreal, American Express, a couple movies and $50 million in concert sales, Beyonce out-earns and out-fames her hubby, Jay Z, who was ranked #7. That must make for great pillow talk.
Her third solo album, a double disc set, is set to be released November 18th. She even released two singles simultaneously to cross-promote . Let’s see the number’s she is working with after that.
Is anybody listening? Did you watch last night’s coverage of the debates? I really want to know how my generation of thinkers are feeling after the final debate.

In response to Mr. Obama’s statement that Mr. McCain had repeatedly supported Mr. Bush’s economic policies, Mr. McCain fairly leaped out of his chair to say: “Senator Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago.”
Acknowledging Mr. McCain had his differences with Mr. Bush, Mr. Obama replied, “The fact of the matter is that if I occasionally mistake your policies for George Bush’s policies, it’s because on the core economic issues that matter to the American people — on tax policy, on energy policy, on spending priorities — you have been a vigorous supporter of President Bush.”
Ouch! Obama clapped back without missing a beat. While McCain failed every attempt to come across stoic and unfazed. But don’t leave this one up to me … What do you think?
