Romney told reporters this morning that he does not want a cabinet position in a John McCain administration, saying that he would not relish being “soldiered by 27-year-olds in the White House,” as his father did during his days as HUD secretary.
“That is not an attractive position in my view,” Romney said, citing the experience of his dad, George Romney, who served as the head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Richard Nixon after his defeat in the 1968 presidential race. “I’ve seen it too close-hand to think that’s something for me.”
In a press conference after remarks to the Utah delegation, Romney said that he expects to remain in the public sector after the November election and will not return to the business world, as many have speculated. But he demurred when asked about a second try at the Oval Office.
“I do not anticipate doing it again,” he chuckled. “It’s hard to imagine doing that.”

PolitiFact: “We found Obama was doing a little cherry-picking with his claim that Sen. John McCain ‘said no to higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars.’ In fact, McCain has a mixed record, having opposed such measures in 2003 and 2005. But he was such a leader in the effort to raise fuel economy that he was lauded by Sen. Edward Kennedy. We gave Obama’s claim a Barely True.”
The McCain double is Colonel Tigh. A fellow who shares
-Both have served in the military.
-Both are war heroes that have been tortured by the enemy.
-Both have significant anger issues.
-Same haircut, balding, elderly look.
And we read something further about him being one of the Cylons, which according to Wikipedia, are a cybernetic civilization at war with the Twelve Colonies of humanity in the Battlestar Galactica science fiction franchise, in the original 1978 & 1980 series, as well as the 2003 reimagining. So… McCain is a Cylon… or something. And Palin. is… that girl (UPDATE: her name is Roslin and she is also a Cylon. clearly we don’t watch the show).
UPDATE: a website has sprung up making exactly this association…
Palin definitely has a Tina Fey thing going on we think though…
The gag in the video, in case you are behind on the news, rests on Obama’s actual brother (yes, that’s really him in the picture, and the info on his lifestyle is correct). Here’s some background on it, with some new takes on some week-old news, mainly about Obama’s brother:
The latest rich man to invite Mr. Obama’s fire is, of course, Republican John McCain. Mr. McCain, who is married to a beer heiress, much as Sen. John Kerry is married to a ketchup heiress, owns seven homes. Excessive this may be, and it did Mr. McCain no good when he said he couldn’t remember how many homes he had. Unsurprisingly, Mr. Obama pounced on that one.
“If you don’t know how many houses you have, then it’s not surprising that you might think the economy is fundamentally strong,” he said. “But if you’re like me, and you got one house, or you are like the millions of people who are struggling right now to keep up with their mortgage so they don’t lose their home, then you might have a different perspective.”
That would ring true with most Americans, but closer scrutiny reveals yet another of Mr. Obama’s hilarious gaffes. For one thing, that “one house” boasts a solarium, four fireplaces, a 1,000-bottle wine cellar and granite-floored kitchen. It’s worth about $1.6 million.
For another, the same day that Mr. Obama ridiculed Mr. McCain, readers around the world, of which Mr. Obama is a citizen, learned that his half-brother, George, lives in abject penury in a hovel in Kenya. George Obama says he spends about a dollar a month. “I have had to learn to live,” the candidate’s half-brother told the Italian edition of “Vanity Fair,” “and take what I need.”
So there was Mr. Obama blasting Mr. McCain for his wealth, even as Mr. Obama, who wangled a sweet real estate deal for his Georgian mansion from a man later convicted on corruption charges, permitted a half-brother to languish in African squalor. You wonder how much hope George Obama has.
The Republican party of Texas took a more serious route, taking the opportunity to attack:
Is it fair? well… kinda, ya. Ed Morrisey notes that On one hand, everyone has some relatives who don’t do as well, and not everyone can afford to support them. However, Obama started this attack on the financial status of family, and while he barely knows his half-brother, George Obama is still a pretty close relation — close enough to get a mention in Barack Obama’s memoirs. Plus, with his haughty condemnation of America as a place lacking the kind of charity mentioned in Matthew (and an incorrect diagnosis, too), the lack of basic charity shown by Obama towards his destitute brother makes him look like a hypocrite twice over.

After reacting to Bill Clintons DNC convention speech by noting the notoriously long address Clinton gave at the Dukakis convention, the topic of discussion shifted to the details of his own failed bid for president.
Host Alan Colmes brought up the fact that Dukakis had apologized for not winning the 1988 election and Dukakis noted that he “was more specific than that”, saying “If I’d beaten the old man, you’d never heard of the kid and we wouldn’t be in this mess” and went on to call current President Bush the worst president he’s ever lived under.
Later, he struggled to come up with a specific to Hannity’s challenge of naming specific accomplishments made by Barack Obama despite co-host Alan Colmes interrupting with pointers.
