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."

17. 21. 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!

I'LL BE SURE TO MAKE YOU AN OVERSEER ON MY PLANTATION. THAT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO FOR YOU.

18. You're shrude supporter, but the truth IS just plain visible in our country today (period)
I wouldn't walk in the parade I once did as a child. It's on the south side of my hometown, trashed.
Who did this?

20. To the people who insist on harping on Obama's "birth certificate", it is completely available for you to view via the state of Hawaii. Of course, you are too lazy to look it up, and there are also legitimate newspapers that have the copy of it right there for you to see. But because you want to believe crap that your buddies send you via e-mail, you are going to continue with your ignorance.

You probably are a fiscal conservative, as I am, yet you don't ever bother to look at the numbers. It's not what they "say"; it's what they "do" that really matters.

Use your brain for a change.

22. This is an interesting thought-at least I think it is....If it wasn't for Obama's mother hooking up with a man outside of her own race, Obama would more than likely not even be in the position he is today. I say Obama owes a great deal to the white race for paving his way to where he is now politically. He would not be running for president of the United States if he had a black mother. I believe he has swayed white voters to his side by reminding the white race that his mother was white and that is the only reason he is running and possibly getting white votes.

23. I just voted for McCain, I hope America is not stupid enough to vote H. into office. Don't listen to the liberal media, go vote McCain. I think it's funny the media can call Bush...W. but they will not call Hussein H.

24. I am a white South African and i am totally disgusted by "concerned McCain supporter", you are a disgusting human being. Words actually fail me... I guess only God will judge you one day and i hope you can sleep easy at night knowing that when that day comes you will have a lot to answer for. I think Obama is GREAT!!!

25. Well, I know who can and can't take care of themselves in this country w/o doing it against our laws. Prison population is speaking loud and clear.

And Mom'a
If you considered the fact that they all need raised and taken care of by YOU "working," as a single parent, you wouldn't have had so many.

26. No,

America is tired of taking care of the people who won't/don't take care of themselves. There are other places on this planet that will take care of you, for you.

27. His views lean towards other places that exist, not America!!!
Go McCain!!!

28. Julian, That's what we call "classy"
Republicans' dress for success because we are successful, through hard work and commitment to our country.
We are proud and dignified.
We live a life of luxury. It's very nice. You should try it for yourself.
Time for a dip in the pool.

29. "NO" to spreading my wealth. MY HARD WORK! Put the donuts down, and WORK

30. well I did my civic duty and voted for the man I know about, and the one I trust my money, family's safety and well being of this great country of ours.

I know nothing about Obama, and refuse to let someone I don't know control MY government. I am hoping that after all the votes are counted, the media starts to dig deeper into this man, who has moved to different countries, changed his name, changes alliances, ect, so if he runs again, we (the American people) can truly know who and what we are voting on. I want to know all about the person I am voting for, not just what comes out of their mouth.

May experience and common sense guide us today, with the help of our Lord.

GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!
