Chris Rock Stumps for Obama in Florida- with audio
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 01:20 PM by Ichingcarpenter
Yesterday Chris Rock appeared at an Obama rally in Tampa, Florida, and joked about McCain’s houses, marriages, and the lies being spread about Obama.

TAMPA -- Comedian Chris Rock took the stage this afternoon and told a crowd of more than 1,000 at a College Hill little league field to go vote for Sen. Barack Obama. Voters should choose a candidate they can relate to, who can see they're poor and understand, he said.

Rock got into McCain’s marriages, "McCain probably had financial problems too, but we can't all do what he did. We can't all dump our first wife, marry a rich one and have all our bills paid. The country can’t do that. We all would if we could, but that’s not what is going to help us out here.”

The comedian also set out to dispel some of the lies about Barack Obama, “Barack did not break up The Beatles. He did not trade Brett Farve. Barack did not hide O.J.’s bloody clothes. All Barack is trying to do is run the government in another way, something different from what we have been getting for the past eight years.”

"When you go to somebody for help you want somebody who can relate to what you have to say. Like if I have problems getting laid, I wouldn't call Brad Pitt cuz he wouldn't know what I was talking about."

He joked that on Halloween, he took his kids trick-or-treating to all of Sen. John McCain's houses. "There was way too many houses," he said, as the crowd laughed. "...McCain was on MTV's Cribs 15 times. This is not the guy you want to be president."

"McCain probably had financial problems too, but we can't all do what he did. We can't all dump our first wife, marry a rich one and have all our bills paid."

On getting out the vote: "Get your retarded uncle. Get him to vote. Anybody you know with an arm, bring him down."
