Obama and McCain Don't Alma Matter Anymore

Posted Nov 4th 2008 4:00AM by TMZ Staff

Any high school would be elated to have an alumni running for president -- but the alumni news sections of Obama and McCain's respected high school web sites have no mention their former student's little election square-off today.

But here are few tidbits you can find on their HS websites:

Barack Obama graduated in '79 from Punahou School, where he was on the "Varsity A Basketball" state championship team during his senior year and was nicknamed "Barry."

John McCain was in the class of '54 at Episcopal High School, where he held the "EHS wrestling record for the 'Fastest Pin' for nearly two years" and was nicknamed "Punk."

He was not "nicknamed" Barry. He went by Barry Soetoro, while in school in Indonesia, you tw@ts! Indonesia, the most populous Muslim nation in the world.

Ok, America, time to think for yourself. Stop being Lemmings, and stop Socialsim. Vote McCain!

15. Concerned McCain Supporter, you deserve nothing less than to be thrown in jail for hate crimes. Luckily, McCain will lose and idiot racists, such as you, will be hating your life! You are the true definition of a Home Grown Terrorist!
