Obama Endorser Brings up Keating Five
Albany, OR–
At a town hall this evening Senator Barack Obama was introduced by one of the superdelegates that endorsed him today in his flood of superdelegate gains. Oregon Congressman Pete DeFazio praised Obama and said that even though “pundits” may think differently Democrats would come together in November. He then quickly went after presumptive Republican nominee John McCain asking voters not to be “tempted” by McCain’s “Straight Talk Express.” He compared McCain to George Bush and Dick Cheney and even mentioned the Keating Five savings and loan scandal, “He says we need less regulation. Hello! Wall Street mortgage meltdown, Bear Stearns taxpayer bailout, Enron, but, you know, I guess maybe for a guy who was up to his neck in the Keating Five and savings and loan scandal–less regulation is better.”
When Obama took the stage he also said that Democrats would be united come Election Day telling voters not to worry about the party being divided, “Whatever else happens when we go into the polling place we know the name George W. Bush will not be on the ballot and we do not want any more repeats of George W. Bush. We will be united in making sure that doesn’t happen.”
He went on to attack John McCain and like DeFazio he compared him to President Bush, “The fact of the matter is that John McCain is running for a third George Bush term and that is something America can not afford right now. We cannot afford 4 more years of George Bush. We can’t afford it.”
Like Obama’s earlier town hall today the McCain camp was quick to issue a response—arriving in e-mail boxes before the candidate had even left the grounds:
“The truth is Barack Obama has pledged to increase taxes on American families, and his plans will make our struggling economy even worse. If Barack Obama is serious about addressing the economic downturn, why is he pledging to take more money out of the pockets of hardworking Americans?”

OBAMA MORE QUESTIONABLE ASSOCIAATES
Get Some New Friends!
VOTER FRAUD IN NC -Reported by NC State Officials
Seems like thousands of votes were counted twice - for obama!
That revving sound you hear is the GOP SMEAR machine being started up.. First shot is the outlandish assertion that bearings meant McCain’s age.
Just cut to the chase guys. You don’t need a reason to start the Smear Campaign…. by all means open up full bore….
Silly season in full bloom
Molly & Omentum,
Both of you are engaging in the sillyness of politics………………… He said, you said, he said you said. He was friends with him who associated with so and so who talked to so and so who is a terrorist, war dodger, communist…..and the hits keep on coming.
Don’t both of you see how silly it is to be lodging these type of baseless accusations? This game can go on and on with any candidate-trust me. None of them (Clinton, McCain & Obama) are above the fray when it come to hidden scandals.
If you don’t want to vote for Obama, give me a substantive reason why. (e.g. foreign or domestic policy, health care, war issues)
Common sense will prevail in 2008

SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! Wake up America….Obama is a “Chicago Politician”.
Voter fraud in NOrth Carolina… People are so obsessed with conspiracies! Oh sure there was huge voter fraud… The aliens from 4400 and that creepy cloud thing from LOST were in on it! That is rediculous you know if there was voter fraud FOX would not be relying on little blog posts like yours to inform them.
The most prosperous decade of the past 60 years were those of the Clinton era. Bush undid it and worse yet, now we’re heading for a recession. Better days are ahead when Obama takes the White House.
I’m not even going to pay attention to these clowns until one of them tell us a) high gas prices are the result of inflation, b) a weak Fed dollar policy and massive deficit spending are the causes of inflation, and c) how they plan to fix it. As it stands, any one of the three candidates will lead us into a repeat of Weimar Germany, so I’m staying home on election day. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/shared/minitext/ess_germanhyperinflation.html

McCain=Taxes for the rich=more money for CEO’s=No relief for high gas price=World leaders laughing at us=can’t even remember what he was talking about (needs that jerk Lieberman to remind him all the time).
Doesn’t anyone listen to anything anymore? Maybe McCain doesn’t either.
If any of you did, you would know that Obama would raise the taxes on income over 100,000.00. And lower the taxes on incomes of 100,000.00 or less. He is going to put it back to the pre Bush era. He said also, that those making over 100,000.00 a year were comfortable paying the extra taxes, that they are the ones who could afford it.
I don’t know about any of you, but that sounds pretty good to me.
And concerning your 401K or retirement plans, those are left alone. You would be taxed at the income level on the amount you have as income for the year you take from it. So unless you are extremely rich, you have nothing to worry about.
And if you are lucky enough to have health insurance with a company, good. If not then he has a plan whereas you can get insurance as good as his (Obamas) through the government. And those of us who has our insurance, he has said that he will be giving back a portion, I believe I heard something like 5000.00 of your premiums back for the year.
That still sounds pretty good to me. After all it is the poor and middle income families such as you and I that need the help, not the rich or ultra rich. And these are some of the benefits that he wants and supports for us.
Time for change, nice one lol.

Jane: That is probably the best Obama arguement I have seen yet - very well done.
Glad to see the REAL Marc back - they sure have been “pimping” your name here
Jane, I can go to sleep now. What you said was on the issues and it made so much sense.
I know Time for Change. Thanks for welcoming me.
I am wondering….How come McCain keeps that Lieberman around. Why does McCain want to give Billions to Isreal. They get over 12 Billion dollars a year from Germany alone.
Marc:
I have seen your post - I can tell the difference
Because Germany is still paying for the Holacaust Tanya!
Thanks. I have so many people pretending to be me. It is crazy.
How have they been treating you Time for Change?
The usual - just wis the primary was over and the general was going on
I do too. Hillary is making it so hard.
Yep. it is getting to be like that movie “ground hog day” like its never gonna end
Go, Peter!! It’s about time you were speaking up. For people who don’t yet know DeFazio from Oregon’s 4th District, he’s amazing. Oregonians are really proud of him. So much so that usually nobody bothers running against him. Every time the lawmakers vote themselves a raise, Peter gives his to a scholarship / opportunity grant program that his office manages. DeFazio has a core ethic and tremendous authenticity. He could be our Senator but he doesn’t want to raise money and campaign so that’s why he’s still in the House. Plus we’ve got Ron Wyden and he’s good too.
Anyhow, what DeFazio is saying to consider about McCain’s image as a really good guy is complemented by Cliff Schecter’s recent book, The Real McCain. This book traces three different John McCains who have existed through the Arizona senator’s career. Why we think he is a maverick or an independent is that in one of these John McCains he was. Then it changed into now. So I recommend this book for all the upset Democrats who think McCain might be an acceptable alternative. Read the last chapter where Schecter predicts the cabinet we would be getting. A nightmare something like the one we’ve been living.
PS McCain keeps Lieberman around because Lieberman might be able to beat Clinton in her Israel constiuency, which she needed to win New York. However, now that McCain might not have to run against Clinton, Lieberman may just be a friend and advisor and likely running mate. He’s not the strongest running mate McCain could find. That would be Clinton. They are two peas in a pod with regard to their international bluster.
When are these idiots going to put the “keating five” to rest once and for all when it relates to McCain? The fact is McCain and Senator Glen were absolved from this. Nothing…..”nada”…….could be proven against McCain and this is why the Federal Prosecutors only investigated McCain and Glen and didn’t prosecute McCain and Glen as there was nothing there…..NO EVIDENCE!!!! It should have been called the “keating three”, not the “keating five”.
What a joke. Is this all Obama and his faggy liberal….racist clan can come up with? The longer this election process goes on, the easier I see it becoming for McCain to win if this is all they got.
Hillary is going to give all AMERICANS a chance to vote. OB has already written the rest of the country off like they don’t count. I guess we’ll see how Kentucky, and the rest of the country that hasn’t voted, will vote in November. We need a good, strong, caring candidate to get us back on track. Hillary is the only candidate that can do that.
God bless our country.
God Bless Hillary.

I still hoping other members who were prisoner with mccain to come forward and say why the North Vietnam Guards called him song bird - I would like to know why he enter legislation to prevent access to pow military debriefings - what is he hiding - his cell mate did not speak of it but then a prison cell mate would have a bond with him - I am willing to bet this will come to light

May 9, 2008): Barack Obama’s 57 United States (LA Times)
——————————————————————————–
http://WWW.latimesblogs.latimes.com/wash…-obama-wa.html
Well, okay, 55 if you discount Florida and Michigan
“It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”
Snip
(UPDATE: At a later stop Obama was talking with reporters and expressed concern he’d also mis-stated the number of potential cyclone victims in Burma. He said, “”I hope I said 100,000 people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It’s a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh.” At that point, an aide cut him off and ushered journalists out. Before he could mis-speak again?)

Oh YeaH!!!
Obama Now Takes The Lead in Superdelegates Too
ABC News’ Karen Travers Reports: For the first time this campaign season, Barack Obama has surpassed Hillary Clinton’s support among superdelegates, according to the ABC News delegate estimate…
Who is Zbigniew Brzezinski?
Not only has Brzezinski publicly defended the anti-Semitic canard that the relationship between America and Israel is the result of Jewish pressure, but he also signed a letter demanding dialogue with Hamas, whose charter calls for Israel’s destruction. It behooves us to understand the mentality of Obama’s Middle East adviser—and more deeply than our so-called experts.
With Brzezinski advising him, Obama’s chant about CHANGE may be more serious and insidious than Hillary’s silly utterances. He may have in mind changing the fundamental character of the American regime. That would fit well with the designs of one of his backers, billionaire George Soros, a globalist committed to the termination of the nation-state and the ascendancy of world government.
hax, what are you talking about. Obama has said time after time that any attack on Isreal is an attack on the U.S. Your too busy listening to Joe Lieberman who when the first Bush said that the U.S. could not afford to give more money to Isreal, he jumped up and said that We better give Isreal that money. You Hillary and McCain lovers are so quick to call Obama a racist with these phony youtube ads and people with there hatred. Nobody said to Bill who accepted money not just from the Saudi’s, but also took money from the Palistinians. Bill also let the Saudi’s have free access into the U.S.
Sen. John McCain championed legislation that will let an Arizona rancher trade remote grassland and ponderosa pine forest here for acres of valuable federally owned property that is ready for development, a land swap that now stands to directly benefit one of his top presidential campaign fundraisers.
Initially reluctant to support the swap, the Arizona Republican became a key figure in pushing the deal through Congress after the rancher and his partners hired lobbyists that included McCain’s 1992 Senate campaign manager, two of his former Senate staff members (one of whom has returned as his chief of staff), and an Arizona insider who was a major McCain donor and is now bundling campaign checks
Get ready GE, new scandal for the McCain camp.

******************************************************
Does Obama have a drug history?
It sounds like a relapse may have put him in a bit of a purple haze.
When McCain’s legislation passed in November 2005, the ranch owner gave the job of building as many as 12,000 homes to SunCor Development, a firm in Tempe, Ariz., run by Steven A. Betts, a longtime McCain supporter who has raised more than $100,000 for the presumptive Republican nominee. Betts said he and McCain never discussed the deal.
The Audubon Society described the exchange as the largest in Arizona history. The swap involved more than 55,000 acres of land in all, including rare expanses of desert woodland and pronghorn antelope habitat. The deal had support from many local officials and the Arizona Republic newspaper for its expansion of the Prescott National Forest. But it brought an outcry from some Arizona environmentalists when it was proposed in 2002, partly because it went through Congress rather than a process that allowed more citizen input.
CBS Poll: Support For Obama Rebounds
If Obama wants to keep saying its McCain is Bush’s 3rd term its only fair that I point out Jimmy Carter and Obama being Jimmy Carters 2nd term. Both are racist toward Jews, Obama wants to set down with every evil dictator in the world. Like Jimmy Carter now and back in his term. Jimmy Carter was a young man in 1976 when he promised hope and change.
B. Obama = Jimmy Carters 2nd Term!
And those who remember Jimmy Carter was the worst president in history! He crippled the USA and our military!

Apparently, you’re far more knowledgeable than the people at C-SPAN:
“The C-SPAN Survey of Presidential Leadership was a 1999 survey of academic historians. It found that historians consider Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt the three best presidents by a wide margin and William Henry Harrison, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan the worst.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_United_States_Presidents
Carter met with Hamas recently. Strange bedfellows.Guess, the mentor is showing him the way. The way to drag this country down. Mike Moore is excited though. He thinks obama is a positive thing for our country. Go figure.
The principles of peace, liberty, small government, and sound money, and many will not vote for a man with the opposite principles. Actually they will be happy to see McCain lose. McCain has big problems ahead of him to bring the party togehter. Its more than a protest vote, he forsakes the basic principles of rep. party, and many religious voters and people who believe in the principle of liberty for all will rather stay home than vote for a nominee that with his proposals are contrary to founding fathers.
The party could come together if Hillary were the nominee. It will actually look silly for her to play second fiddle to someone who is blatantly less qualified and less electable.
Jane, And Obama, who thinks there are 57 states, probably got those numbers wrong too. I’ve never heard him say he’d give back $5,000 for insurance. I did hear him say that if a family brought a child to an emergency room and that they didn’t have the insurance he would mandate for children that they would be fined. You, my friend are going to be helping pay for those adult people who don’t want to carry insurance, much as you are now.
The Cult leaders of the Conservative-neo-con are on their way towards hate and smear. The GOP is perfect. G.W. Bush is Perfect. This country is perfect. Anyone anywhere who criticizes anything close to the essential purity of the USA hates the USA. The USA is the God of the GOP. They worship it. They love the land more than God. They are fearful God may do something to the USA because of deep embedded guilty, so they lash out even harder when someone cites a specific flaw of US policy.
Only the Left has flaws. When the left has quality candidates like Obama they will find people he sat with, talked to didn’t kick who had flaws. Then they will try to link Obama to the flawed person who — once again — hates America. Hollywood writers just write the script.
Obviously there is no problem with the Economy. If there was, it is definately something the left did. Same with Gov’t, war, Hamas, Iran. The Left is to blame for everything. Therefore shows on FoX spend all their time criticizing the Left and never looking into its own leaders flaws.
I think they think Bush is a god.

Mike, you throw the word God around pretty often for a godless ACLU loving Democrat. Next time you’re talking to God, ask Him if he endorses the DEM party platform regarding abortion.
[...] It Up Eventually Jump to Comments The Obama camp’s first line of attack on McCain; bringing up things that were old news when McCain ran in 2000. At a town hall this evening Senator Barack Obama [...]
Ping…well I guess the “old news” line by the Obama camp regarding his friends won’t apply either…Great…Keep Wright & Ayers in the news.
If the Democrats are going to campaign on the ” third George Bush term,” it will be a resounding defeat for them.
How about campaigning with a sound common sense energy policy, a sound common sense economic policy.
But the dems do not have the ability, intelligence to develop one.
Keep it up guys, this is a no brainer win for McCain.

TimeForChange- listen to me you worm, if you believe anyone who was a prisoner in the same prison camp with McCain is going to come forward and slander McCain, then you really are not that bright of a person. The second most decorated hero “Bud Day” already paved the record straight about McCain once and for all and continues to state that McCain was a hero. Not only was he a hero, but who had quite a grasp and comprehension on Bible references.
Now you have a right to vote for any candidate you choose, but if you are going to make up such nefarious claims about McCain in prison being anything other than a hero based on your make believe assumptions, with no witnesses and with no other war heros coming out to verify what you are hoping in your mind is true, then shut the hell up you loser!
Further, if you are willing to place your vote for some 46 year old, socialist rookie with a nebulous background at best, who is a smoltering racist, who hangs around people who hate white people simply because of the color of their skin; and a guy who is pro-gay marriage and already stated time and time again that he intends on raising taxes and taking money out of your pocket; dummying down the military forces and wants to expand governmental regulation and he wants to sit down with anti-American terrorist groups and countries and recognize them as legitimate, then this is your right and you obviously must have been beaten or molested or ignored as a child and/or you didn’t get enough attention growing up because you have become such a worm that you seem to be just like Obama and the rest of the losers in the Democrat Party beginning with Howard Dean, and then Obama and you know what they say about “crap floating down stream”….all the way down to you.
Good morning Democrats and Republicans!
FYI,
McCain was known as a song bird during his capture because he sang to a young vietnamese girl despite his torture. I could be wrong, but this is what I have heard. Says a lot about the man.
I do not think either Democrats or Republicans or anyone else for that matter should question anything about McCain’s POW or military service in general.
i agree mccain is a war hero and no one should question it.
I love my country so much and was a bush backer before the republcans became bush wackers, they wacked away on our economy and it is the worse since the depression, wacked at iraq that had nothing to do with 911 but used emotion to get people like mcbush and clinton to vote for war that has costs us thousands of lives for no reason. the bush wacker has caused this country to go back into the dark ages–think not? New Orleans disaster and as powerful as our government is DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. My dad was a life time republican, county chairman etc and i am so glad he is not around now to see what the bush wacker has done to our people. He was buried last year in his WWII navy officer uniform and if he saw how bush wacker treated our vets, the conditions the families have to live in WHO ARE SERVING OUR COUNTRY he would try to enlist again to stop this.
the clinton/bush dynasty looks like they may be gone for at least 4 years but we cannot have any republican bush wacker in the white house with zero feelings to the people. Yes, i am that life time republican, vet, businessman, small town american, who is voting for and financially support obama for president. Obama does not have to bring up one issue—the whole country has declined with the clinton/bush dynasty and IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE. As i grow older i know that every 8 years ALL of washington needs to be changed. If one party is in put in the other because in 8 years thecountry will be in a mess again because of the bush wackers like russ to drugs limpbaughs and lou the screw dobbies if anyone disagrees with his opinion and we know what he has contributed to our country–did he serve????
i have gotten a tool that rids us of the bush wacker clinton/bush/mcbush problem–called OBAMA FOR 8 YEARS and you will see a young ab lincoln come to life FOR THE PEOPLE.
Mike,
I will give you a brief on the policy issues that you mentioned. I presume you are not following Obama, so here goes:
The economy/other:
1. Provide middle class income a tax break below 100,000.00 specifically.
2. Technology and Job creations: This will include opening jobs for a more eco-friendly environment. Increase, next generation broadband, invest in rural areas such as schools, medical personnel and facilities, etc, invest in U.S. manufacturing (that means to stop the flow or slow the flow of outsourcing jobs and work to change the agreements on NAFTA, etc.
3. Labor - ensure the freedoms to unionize, protect striking workers, raise minimum wage, etc.
4. Protect home ownership and crack down on fraud
5. Reform bankruptcy laws
6. Help families balance work/home
Energy/Environment:
1. Reduce CO2s or carbon emissions, by 50% by 2050
2. Invest in clean energy fuel, i.e. clean coal
3. Support next generation biofuels
4. Improve energy efficiency by 2030, how so, here is how: buildings in the future will be built to reduce or eliminate carbon emissions, award states and localities that invest in new efficient building codes, invest in a digital smart grid
5. Restore leadership in climate change by creating a global energy forum, that includes all G-8 members who are the largest consuming nations of energy while also engaging with the U.N. F.C.C.C. which is dedicated to addressing the problems of climate around the world.
Wow,
From some of the statements in here, I would think it was 1950.
A lot of people have some quick growing up to do. We are about to have our first black President and First Lady and two first daughters.
Barack will be president of the country you love.
Support him …. respect him…
Barack is Awesome……
And for all of you who call Obama a Marxist
Obama is not Marxist
John Mccain personally knew Karl Marx and he would most assuredly tell you
Obama is no Marxist
Omentum,
People just like to say if you are liberal then that must mean your a socialist or communist. Fear mongering.
you republicans are pathetic, and worthless and we will destroy you, your Obama smear machine and John Mc “Insane” McCain in the fall!!!!!!
REPLY TO CATHERINE LAO: You failed to mention HOW he was going to do all of this. Oh that’s right - he is taking some of it out of the already declining SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS. The funds coming from Hamas will go directly to his own pocket - certainly never to help our country. OR the bundled campaign funds he has collected from MAJOR OIL COMPANIES - he will never do anything that would cut into their profits. We’ve already seen that.
We all have the right to vote for who we choose, but I really wish people would THINK for themselves and not take this cult mentality.
Obama would not have even been elected dog catcher in south side of chicago politics without the approval of the 3 wise men of politics there (ayers, wright, Farrahkahn). he was absolutely endorsed by all so you think he would be a departure from their beliefs and valves. How silly would one be to think they would support someone who did not believe in their anti-govt, un-american and terrorist diatribe. Not in a new York second should anyone believe that Obama is any different than these 3 jokers.
Where is there any substancial evidence…other than words…that Obama’s change ideas are supported by deeds of significant substance. Oh, sure he could say the system prevented him from doing what he really wanted to do….the facts show the “change motto” is simply a political fraud. The change he is professing is one of taxes (on everyone…really), let our enemies off the hook and oversight, have access to all this nation’s “secrets” (which do not show the USA was responsible for AIDS), gut the military and our security, open the borders to EVERYONE!!! and let the Ayers/Wright/and farrahkahn bunch/associates run amoke thru the govt.
The young people seem to have been taken-in by Obama who represents the opposite of the values and approaches for which they were educated by (parents $) and their current standard of living. They do not realize the severe consequences an Obama election would have on their family structure/finances/activities of the next 8 yrs during their family creation and looking to put away money for their kids college. They are sticking it in the eye of the very system which allowed them to be at their current station ….they do not sense the hazard in this Obama person and the “change for the much worse” things will become.
These young people need to be advised very soon and directly just what will occur and how they will be affected, raised taxes, illegal immigration, decreased security, future costs to correct Obama errors, reparations costs….look at what Obama is suggesting and the money…..if you think this all will come out of someone’s else’s pocket you truely are mistaken.

God bless him. So vigorous were his efforts to help these poor women, that some guards actually thought the young strapping McCain was being tortured in there throughout the night -and into the wee hours of the morning.
To this day, around the small villages of Hanoi, when a new unwed mother arrives in town - the locals can be heard shouting, “Quick, quick, get McCain. He’ll know what to do.” God bless him. So fondly is he remembered for what he did for those poor young women, that some of the orphaned young Amerasian children feel such kinship to a man they’ve never even met- that they can actually be found wonderin
