John McCain vs. Barack Obama: Battle of the Kippahs
On this solemn day of remembrance, the Red Hat Blue Hat podcast discussed the current happenings in the U.S. Presidential election.
We also have a special guest in Shmuly Tennenhaus, founder of VanityKippah.com, the popular, new fashion accessory… a political Kippah/Yarmulke/Skullcap.
There was some candid chatter about what’s happening today in politics, as well as which Kippahs are more popular, the John McCain McCippah or the Barack Obama Obamica.
There are also some new additions to the Kippah line of goods: the Michelle Obamica and the Cindy McCippah.

Legislative Accomplishments of Barack Obama
“We’ve all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers.
And there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate.”
Sarah Palin in her acceptance speech for the 2008 Republican vice presidential nomination on September 3, 2008, at the Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.
Speaking of which, many folks have heard about Barack Obama’s two best-selling memoirs (”The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams from My Father”), but how many have read it?
Read and hear some excerpts that you haven’t heard in the news.
Barack Obama on Running for President
“You know, I am a believer in… in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. Uh, and I think that… if I were seriously to consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate.
Now there may be some people who are comfortable doing that, but I am not one of those people.”
— Barack Obama, 2004
I guess he is one of those people. And, of course, you can believe all the promises he’s making now.
Red Hat Blue Hat Podcast 12: Democratic National Convention Analysis
The twelfth installment of Red Hat Blue Hat featured Mike Allen, Shawn Collins, Todd Crawford, Sam Harrelson, and Tim Jones.
This installment focused on the Democratic National Convention with a discussion on Hillary Clinton’s speech, Joe Biden at VP candidate, the skill of Bill Clinton’s oratory, and lack thereof from Nancy “Can We Drill Your Brain?” Pelosi.
Also, there was talk of the likely VP pick for John McCain… Hutchison, Lieberman, Pawlenty, Romney, somebody else?
Then, we moved on to some geek talk and the uses of Twitter, indenti.ca and other tools that can be harnessed by political campaigns.
We wound up on the uses of social media by each campaign, as well as which is less in touch, and whether any President is actually in touch.
Episode 12 runs 68 minutes, but we have no plans to recreate ‘68.

Democrats Tell the Truth about John McCain
There is a new ad about John McCain where Tom Daschle, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Howard Dean, and Russ Feingold share their thoughts on McCain.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton also share their views of Senator McCain.
It’s an interesting look at the real John McCain.
Obama’s Ludacris Politics
The eleventh installment of RedHatBlueHat featured Mike Allen, Shawn Collins, Todd Crawford, Jeff Doak, Sam Harrelson, and Tim Jones (until a storm knocked him off).
This installment tackled the latest song to drop by rapper Ludacris in honor of Obama, Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska facing a seven-count indictment accusing him of accepting financial gifts that weren’t reported on his financial disclosure forms, and the rumors of a John Edwards love child.
The modest growth of the U.S. economy for the second quarter was debated, as well as a heated discussion on the torture of terrorists.
The RedHatBlueHat crew also talks about whether they’d like to have a beer with Barack Obama or John McCain, the issue of Obama cancelling a visit to wounded U.S. troops in Germany, and what there is to like about John McCain.
Finally, the chat turned to whether polls are accurate at this point, and speculation over Vice-President prospects on both sides.
Episode 11 runs 75 minutes of ludicrous political banter.

Photoshopping in Iran
RedHatBlueHat, the weekly political podcast where marketing guys from both sides of the aisle banter, argue and debate politics, covered lots of ground in episode 8.
The attempt by Iran to Photoshop rockets kicked things off, along with Vice-Presidential predictions, whether Jesse Jackson is nuts, and some lighthearted talk about which cable news network has the best “newschicks”.
The show runs a compact 53 minutes.
