GEORGETOWN — Domestic issues — policy and bliss — were on Barack Obama's mind Thursday as he campaigned in Ohio.
The Democratic presidential nominee delivered speeches on the economy in Dayton, Cincinnati and Portsmouth. In between, he visited the Fireside Restaurant in Georgetown, where Don and Pat McElroy were dining out because Pat had requested it.
"Let me tell you, I do the same thing with my wife," Obama said. "Whatever she tells me to do, that's what I do. That's why we've been married 15 years."
Actually, Obama and his wife, Michelle, celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary on Oct. 3.
Obama congratulated the McElroys on reaching their 48th anniversary, saying "nothing is better than a good marriage."
"That's exactly right," Pat McElroy said. Pointing to her husband, she added, "and a good man."
Obama, looking impressed, told Don McElroy: "When your wife tells you that in front of a bunch of cameras, you've got to make sure you get a copy of that. So when you screw up, you can hold up that paper."

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Well of course! Why shouldn't common people have to wait and be inconvenienced! Don't they understand? McCain is special because he's rich! He is noble and they are just pigs! Step aside dogs and let a gentleman pass or be flogged!

Mr. McCain, you aren't showing that you are "one of the people" by inconveniencing them and treating them as if they are so much less important than you.
You didn't even walk in and sit down with the populace.
Of all the things that you have done...the lies, the attacks, the flip-flopping...this truly shows how much you truly have in common with the Average American.
One question:
Who got the fries at the bottom of the bag?

Heavens no! A commoner might actually touch his sleeve and then he'd be unclean!

I wouldn't make such a big deal out of this one way or the other. We all periodically get cravings for sugar, salt and transfats. But if he didn't get it supersized, now that would be un-American.

Yes, I can see how this is an important issue. Are you kidding me? I've seen traffic backed up by a truck driver that was in the mood for some micky dees. I highly doubt the truck driver was thinking he was superior to any one. Your comments are ridiculous. But hey - I'd rather McCain snub some people at McDonalds (probably because he was tired and on his way home) then snub our troops.

Big Macs and Happy Meals for the guy who's going to screw up my health care choices! At least Bill Clinton supposedly was jogging.

I bet Palin would encourage a non-stop Super-Size Me diet of nothing but McDonalds for McCain if they are elected.
