Goddamnit Vas! I just submitted this :(

And they said I wouldn't ever accomplish anything in life. Hah!

Evidently Obama personally called the guy. What he didn't do, as far as I can tell, is make any sort of public apology or offer recompense. So much for this not reflecting on the candidate.

Because of that I won't vote for him. Total bullshit IMO. Maybe the publicity will cause him to get off those sand nigger dollars

This isn't the first report of Obama backers getting mean. But I don't understand why MySpace would just hand the site over.

He's black.

actually, given the words the dude used, i don't even know if he really gave him much of a private apology.

re: quite an honor, a great honor

thank you, sir. may i have another?

Yeah, mundhra. I'm not sure why he took time out to sit with the guy if he wasn't going to do anything mediative. Is it possible he knew the starpower effect would be enough to sway the mortal's feeble judgment?

As for why MySpace would do this... the url was myspace.com/barackobama. Had it been www.barackobama.com it might be a little more clear that Obama's identity was being seemingly represented by not-Obama, but as MySpace becomes more and more 'important', there may be a reasonable expectation that it work like domain names -- that is, that the MySpace URLs are an extension of brand.

I can't even point to any one of the three parties and go 'there's the dick', except that 1) I'm pretty sure MySpace did the right thing, and 2) I'm pretty sure Obama could have gone out of his way to hook a whiteboy up, and failed.

Not criminal, but he entirely missed a chance to be gracious to a supporter in a socially sensitive moment fo sho.

hook up one guy and then everyone expects it.

Spend a bit of effort to not be a prick, and then everyone expects it.

'Trickle up' theory, nigga.

do you guys even know why you dont like anyone thats not your color
