Poll: Obama beats McCain as barbecue guest

Let's see. So far Obama's qualifications to be president are his community organizer and state senator who voted "present" when it counted. Add "barbecue guest" to the list and voila, liberals have presidential material. How pathetic!
Besides, isn't Obama a tofu muncher?

WASHINGTON (AP) - People would rather barbecue burgers with Barack Obama than with John McCain.While many are still deciding who should be president, by 52 percent to 45 percent they would prefer having Obama than McCain to their summer cookout, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released Wednesday.
Men are about evenly divided between the two while women prefer Obama by 11 percentage points. Whites prefer McCain, minorities Obama. And Obama is a more popular guest with younger voters while McCain does best with the oldest.
Having Obama to a barbecue would be like a relaxed family gathering, while inviting McCain "would be more like a retirement party than something fun," said Wesley Welbourne, 38, a systems engineer from Washington, D.C.
Party label means a lot, with three-quarters of Democrats picking the Democrat Obama and the same number of Republicans picking McCain, a Republican. Independents are about evenly split.
Let's see. So far Obama's qualifications to be president are his community organizer and state senator who voted "present" when it counted. Add "barbecue guest" to the list and voila, liberals have presidential material. How pathetic!
