Man, I may have to pick up a copy of that Newsweek special edition.
"Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I fucking changed light bulbs in my house."
-- Sen. Barack Obama, quoted in Newsweek's special election issue, during debate preparations on how he wanted to answer if Brian Williams asked him, "What's a personal thing that you've done that's green."

IS that REALLY what Barack said? Or wanted to say?
OMG! It is official I love this guy.
Looks like it's really what he said in rehearsal. HA!
I LOVE this dude.
He so gets EVERYTHING i stand for.
That 'fucking lightbulb' remark was from 2007....
"Obama continues: "When you have to be cheerful all the time and try to perform and act like [the tape is unclear; Obama appears to be poking fun at his opponents], I'm sure that some of it has to do with nerves or anxiety and not having done this before, I'm sure. And in my own head, you know, there's—I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. When you're going into something thinking, 'This is not my best …' I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.' Instead of being appropriately [the tape is garbled]. So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f–––ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'.""
