NPR: Palin, Biden As Visual Poets

NPR: Palin, Biden As Visual Poets

The audio of the debate isn’t music. But, here is a bit of visual poetry based on the can­di­dates’ utter­ances dur­ing the debate via Wor­dle.

Well, NPR beat me to the idea, but I’m glad some­one did it.

For the record, here are McCain’s and Obama’s from last week’s debate.

McCain blames Obama for House bailout vote

One won­ders whether the Democ­rats, and Sen­a­tor Obama, ever had any inten­tion of deliv­er­ing this bailout, or whether they always thought there was more to gain, polit­i­cally, from let­ting the pack­age die on the House floor.

John​M​c​Cain​.com — Where Was the Lead­er­ship?

What both­ers me about this arti­cle is that it doesn’t paint a com­plete picture.

Accord­ing to the New York Times, the final vote was 205 – 228. For Democ­rats, that was 140 – 95, or 60% for. For Repub­li­cans, that was 65 – 133, or 33% for. How is this pos­si­bly Obama’s fault?

At the end of the day, I don’t think this is really a mat­ter of blam­ing either McCain or Obama (I don’t even think you could blame Pelosi or her speech), but this kind of politi­ciz­ing for the sake of your cam­paign, John, is sim­ply ludicrous.
