Obama on the Offensive Against McCain
At a town hall in Roseburg, Oregon, Barack Obama took on Republican John McCain on both foreign policy and domestic issues - over and over and over again. All the while, Obama assured the crowd that the differences between Hillary Clinton and himself “pale in comparison” with differences Democrats have with the presumptive Republican nominee.
For the second day in a row, Obama took issue with George Bush’s appeasement comments as well as John McCain’s questioning Obama’s ability to keep the country safe. “If George Bush and John McCain have a problem with direct diplomacy, led by the President of the United States, then they can explain why they have a problem with John F Kennedy because that’s what he did with Krushchev, or Ronald Reagan, ’cause that’s what he did with Gorbachev, or Richard Nixon ’cause that’s what they did with Mao. That’s exactly the kind of diplomacy we need to keep us safe,” Obama said defiantly.
Obama then moved onto domestic issues, criticizing McCain’s health care plan and likened it to the president’s policies over the past eight years. “Like George Bush, he’s offering a plan that works great if you’re already healthy and wealthy, but if you don’t have health care or if you’re struggling to pay for it, John McCain’s only answer is a tax cut that won’t guarantee coverage and wont make it affordable,” he observed, adding, “I don’t think that the American people can afford to double down on the failed health care policies of the Bush years, I believe we need to end them.”
And he didn’t stop there - during the Q&A, Obama dismissed McCain’s record on fuel efficiency and the environment. “For him to come to Oregon as an environmental president, but his big strategy is to do more drilling and to have a gas tax holiday for three months, that’s a phony solution,” he said. “John McCain has consistently been opposed to fuel efficiency standards, to raising fuel efficiency standards on cars. How is he gonna meet any of these targets? Maybe he’s kind of imagining it the way he did imagining get out of the war in Iraq,” he said caustically.
For good measure, Obama noted McCain has not announced plans to fix Social Security or to reduce college tuition costs. Obama concluded, “He hasn’t said, because this is not something that he thinks necessarily is a priority.”
If there was any doubt that Obama believes the Democrats will unite to take on John McCain, he made it clear today. “So that’s the debate that we’re looking forward to having and I believe that whoever the Democratic nominee is, that the other person is going to be standing right next to ‘em making the case for fundamental change for America.”
The McCain camp, of course, weighed in on Obama’s Oregon Offensive, saying the junior senator from Illinois showed “weak judgment” by his willingness to bring the Iranian president to the world stage, and defended the Arizona senator’s commitment to increasing fuel standards, by sending out a list of times the Republican has voted for strengthening CAFE standards.

Obama is NOT QUALIFIED!!! He has many good qualities - BUT - he is NOT MATCH for McCain on foreign policy. The party leaders had to defend their WEAK candidate on foreign policy while he was having a speech prepared so he would not look foolish.
Obama cannot even connect with the working class American voters - how can he sit down with terrorits nations????
What abut KY - not going there like WV - don’t need those type voters????
How ARROGANT!
Obama will never be elected due to his WEAK questionable background.
Hillary Clinton is our only hope for President - or maaybe McCain - Never obama.
Immigration is sometimes brought up as being an issue of the day.
Immigration is a LEGAL PROCESS by definition and is NOT the problem.
The real issue is illegal entry and trespassers mostly from mexico.
Of course politicians will never say this because it’s not politically correct.
Illegal entry and trespassing is not immigration.

Obama’s historical ignorance proves Bush’s point
Peggy Shapiro
Reeling from his inference of an accusation of being an appeaser to terrorists, Barack Obama lashed out against President Bush and John McCain.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/05/obamas_historical_ignorance_pr.html
Obama will pimp america to far left radicals, Islamists, and illegal mexicans
and will betray america by thwarting energy development in the name of climate hysteria.
If Obama peeled the “APPEASE NOW” bumper sticker off his electric car
he might catch less flak from the EVIL Bush.

The Lessons of West Virginia
By Rosslyn Smith
After all, this campaign is being brought by to us by a media that gives new life to a traditional proverb satirist Jonathan Swift’s once cited that there are none so blind as those who will not see. Swift may have been a product of the Enlightenment, but he anticipated the relationship that much of the modern media political narrative has to the concepts of reason and truth.
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/05/the_lessons_of_west_virginia.html
Please, Hillary never give up. You are our only hope. Obama is a Fraud!
Please, see Hillary’s speech given in 1995 on women’s rights. It is most reveiling and clearly shows not only a wonderful person but some of the hate and baised that she has encountered in this campaign.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ke64670GkZ8
You have to love politicians. Barack seriously thinks he knows more about foreign policy then a President who has been in office for 7 1/2 years. What a smuck! I love it though as with a simple statement Barack showed his weakness and made himself look even worse then usual. Get ready Obama supporters. Your candidate is in for a very long couple of months!!
Hillary, Its about time you challenge McCain and Obama to debate!!! OH..Thats right…Obama will cry again!!!
Hey Patty,
I would pay money to see a debate with all three candidates but needless to say, Obama would never ever do that.
HEY DID YOU GUYS HERE ABOUT THIS CRAZY LADY THAT’S GOING AROUND LIKE SHE’S STILL RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT I HEAR SHE EVEN HAS SOME FOLLOWERS THAT ACTUALLY BELEIVE HER NONSENSE. SOUNDS LIKE THE BEGINNING OF A CULT TO ME.
The new standard efficiency pushed through by Bush/McCain for 2012 is going to be 30 MPG. That’s a joke.
We could make it 40 MPG and stop selling SUV’s. Bush gave $15K tax rebates to small businesses after 9-11 if they would buy an SUV. They are on the used car lots now.
It is time to get serious about global warming. McCain gives himself away by two points.
1. McCain’s goal to turn global warming around is for 2050. That is like saying, let our grandchildren figure it out.
Some scientists say we have to lower carbon emissions below todays level by 2012 or it is going to be too late.
His goal date of 2050 is not just a joke, it is obscene.
2. McCain says MARKET forces will fix global warming. MARKET forces means accountants and their “bottom line”.
We are already having economy by MARKET FORCES, and what you see is the result of accountants ruling the World Trade Organization. For him to say MARKET FORCES will do ANYTHING about global warming is just hoping no one understands him except Wall Street. I understand Market forces. They are about TODAY’s profit and not about long term planning for your grandchildren.

What has Barack Heussin Obama ever done for anyone???? Nothing…Absolutely Nothing…
Hillary or John McCain…
1/4 of obomas supporters were born out of wedlock grew up on welfare dropped out of high school and they dislike the blue coller worker. I sleep well at night
bruce,
I heard the whole global warming scare has been proven to be miscalculations and such. I haven’t researched it yet but what do you hear?
As for McCains 30 MPG proposal by 2012, I really don’t see anything wrong with it as we must remember we have to allow the car industry time to prepare for such drastic changes.
Obama all the way. We need change and Obama can bring it about. White america is too racist to realize that a black man can resurrect this dead dry bones and bring about the cahnge it needs. Instead they want to legalize gay marriages and teach homosexuality in schools and remove God from the picture. America needs a change and it needs someone who is God fearing to run the show. Not a imocompetent nimcompoo republicans. Obama is the man to lead this country to greatness
McCain is right, obama is an appeaser, obama go back to Chicago and keep up the black theology, America is not black.
solomon,
What??????????
You wrote “White america is too racist to realize that a black man can resurrect this dead dry bones and bring about the cahnge it needs.” What exactly were you trying to say?
Vote for me, vote for me, I am a woman and it is so hard being a woman.
Try, vote for me, I will restore the Constitution. Oh, I forgot, your husband did unconstitutional signing statements and you can say nothing about that. Even John McCain says he wont do that one.
And HRC, you say nothing about the loss of our civil rights in the anti-terrorist Act, like the right to be charged with a crime, so you can get the Appalachian vote. Change your party affiliation to Republican or Conservative and run again against president Obama in 2012, Hillary. Then it will help you that you are popular among uneducated people who make their decisions based on race and fear of terrorists and not upon the Constitutional ideals our fathers and forefathers fought to keep.
Believe me I am no fan of Bush or McCain but the fact that Obama criticizes them for fear mongering well how come Obama never found it necessary to criticize his esteemed Reverend Wright for fear mongering or didn’t he think it was necessary when he wasn’t trying to get your vote.
HE IS LIVING IN HIS OWN DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR THAT ARE FUELED BY OTHER IDIOTS LIKE HIMSELF. I PREDICT AN OVERWHELMING DEFEAT FOR HIM, IF HE MAKES IT TO THE GENERAL ELCTION. HE REMINDS ME OF CARTER, RUNNING AROUND AND MOUTHING OFF ABOUT THINGS HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE ABOUT. I BELIEVE WE OUGHT TO TAKE THE CURRENT CONGRESS OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I AM VOTING!!!!!!!!!
All Hillary supporters need to vote republican to show the elite dems how stupid they are and not the American people. obama was a hand picked wonder boy by the elite dems and dis to the party and the democratic voters, this has been a brokered convention in front of the American people, this party has just lost another voter.
Hillary supporters: Google WomenCount Pac It’s a Woman’s Movement started May 14, 2008 in response to the horrible treatment Hillary has received from the DNC. They are going after the DNC
You go girls!!
Touche” David
I cant stand obama he’s too good at everything, i like to think im better than my president. if obama gets elected he will fix most of the problems we have and than us good hard working white folks wont have anything left. He’s like a hybrid of some sort the hybrids allready out perform us in sports and entertaiment we do not need them revolutionizing politics and making it better like they did with golf. Vote for mcinsane so nothing changes and we can keep our problems……..
Bush has kept this country safe since 9/11 …
DB I have a 2000 ECHO that gets 43 MPG. No drastic changes are needed. Just stop selling 440 HP Dodge Rams and SUV’s that get terrible mileage.
Even McCain and Bush now admit there is science behind global warming.
No one in charge is claiming it is not the case, now.
See Gore’s movie sometime, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.

It is time to get serious about global warming.
********************************************************************************
The way to get serious is to realize that minor climate cycles are natural and a cooling cycle
will come soon enough. Liberals blame economic cycles and climate cycles on objects they
want to control, namely freedom and free enterprise.
I dont like human or car hybrids ill stick to with my dodge that gets 11 miles to the gallon.
I guess most of us agree, pooey on obama
Even McCain and Bush now admit there is science behind global warming.
*****************************************************************************
Yes McCain and Bush do pander to liberal hogwash. It’s really sad.
http://www5.google.com/search?hl=en&q=global+warming+debunked&btnG=Google+Search&ei=2lcvSNiBHJys8gTM0fHUAQ&redir_esc=www5
i just wish we could find a legal way to keep bush in office a little longer, i hope he comes up with a better plan than mcain, to be able to stay in power.
There is more SCIENCE on the anti-global warming side of the fence.
Climate hysteria is not science based. It’s emotion based like most liberal causes.
Every time someone saids anything about the Great Obama they are called racist. Get over it- He is no Messiah and if I’m wrong this country is in big trouble because a President of the United States should at least know how many states there are- and its certainly not 57.
that obama he’s so dumb their’s 13 colonies…………..
no Brian, according to national polls, more people prefer Obama to McCain.
More people also prefer Clinton to McCain.

Okay Dems… the republicans have “Operation Chaos” and are littering perfectly good blogs, commentaries, etc… with inane and insane rhetoric. I propose that we Dems return the favor. Let’s inundate the republicans with facts and good rhetoric. Maybe we could start our own “Operation DAN” in honor of Dan Quale. Said another way… “Operation Defecate A Neocon.”
Dems 08′
As we seeing across the USA, most republicans are good, honest, caring people who have a true and valid philosophical difference with us on the left, which I respect very much. But then, there are the “Rush Limbaugh’s” of the party. It’s you who ruined the party and arguably the United States reputation and global standing. Your blind ignorance to your religion created this horrendous situation in which we find ourselves.
We’re in the 21st century people. God n’ guns just don’t cut it anymore. You are living in the past century. The era of the whacko right was, and forever will be, an embarrassing stain in American History. Your time is over. The GOP needs to re-invent itself. Even the majority of republicans are saying this. That’s why we Dems are taking all your long held conservative seats nationwide.
We had cars that got 40mpg 20 years ago. then gov put in a bunch of regulations. Then they put ethanol in our gas which means we get less mpg.
Global warming is a scam. I am not to worry about something that might be a few million years from now. Mans ego is too big to think they can change mother nature.
Al gore is making millions for himself with his carbon credit scam. A fool and his money are soon parted.
The folks like to vote for centrists.
Obamas BIG negative is he’s THE most liberal U.S. senator by his voting record.
Obama loses because people do not unite behind far left radicals.
Some peoples religion is gov’t.
Bruce,
Sorry, stepped away for a minute.
As for global warming, I will research it for myself but needless to say there is a huge controversary over Gores movie right now and the scientific data is in question.
As for the technology needed for 30+ MPG it’s there and being developed even further but it’s not going to happen over night. What I suggest we do, remember I am a conservative, is to open up the oil fields such as ANWAR and on our shorelines. ANWAR alone s estimated to have enpugh fuel at present consumption rates for 30 years. Given it would take about $20/barrell to produce we could definately get the cost of fuel in check.
For comparison we pay $120/barrell now for approximately $4.00/gallon. That (and remember it’s a comparison) would mean $20/Barrell would be about 70 cents/gallon. I recommend we add $1.30 to that for $2.00/gallon using $1/gallon for Research and Development for alternate fuels and 30 cents/gallon for Social Security.
David, Santa Rosa, CA,
You make some very interesting points. Your post above your last, loved the ODAN!
The left stream media that pushed OB at us can’t back off now to save face.
Looks as tho they gave the dems another loser trying to be politically correct.
How come bomma is going back to Iowa? Did they hear that Iowans have buyers remorse like other states have.?
john Mccaine
take a stand on strength, no, i wont talk to the enemies,
where’s diplomacy? great american leaders knew about that.
Bruce,
I realize the Anti-terrorism legislation did give the government rights to monitor electronic transmissions but can you honestly tell me you have ever experienced an invasion of your privacy? I mean they may be monitoring us right now but I don’t feel violated in any way.
By the way, if you are monitoring us right now, let me say thanks for keeping us safe. You’re doing a great job!
NO OIL FOR YOU TODAY SAID THE KING .

WHAT WILL THE ANSWER BE IF IT WAS THE SENATOR FROM ARIZONA.
SAME , NO
SAME POLICIES , DIFFRENT COSTUME
How can a one time senator from the slums of Chicago who hasn’t done anything for them even think about being president? This is the best the DNC can come up with. AMAZING!
One well known senator said it gave him chills down his spine to think of McCain in the Oval Office because of his temperment. McCain has said that he doesn’t know much about the economy and was reading Greenspan’s book. In watching the debates, it doesn’t seem that he has the mental clarity that we would want in the office of President. It seems that he relives the past a lot when he was a prisoner of war and wants this war to continue even though we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on it. Because of his temperment, I would not feel comfortable if he were to take that much talked about 3:00 a.m. call and by the time he would leave office, if one term, he would be 76 if two 80. By then he could have more problems other than mental clarity, but that in itself is enough.
WE ARE MISSING DIPLOMACY.
REAGAN YEARS.
NEED TO GET BACK ON TRACK
Dwight,
Two points here. First, the Saudi King isn’t compelled to produce more oil as he’s really competing against himself. Now open the fields in Alaska and that changes dramatically as we wouldn’t need a drop of their oil and yet without us, the OPEC nations lose SIGNIFICANT amounts of money.
Second point. To even suggest McCain is a continuation of President Bushes years in office is ludicrous and while you may believe that right now, I suggest you look at both, compare where they stand on certain issues over the years, and recalculate your thoughts.
NEED FRESH APPROACH.
VOTE FOR HOPE, VOTE FOR CHANGE
YOU’RE A McCAIN SUPPORTER IF,.. IF YOU WALK YOUR SON TO SCHOOL,.. BECAUSE YOU’RE BOTH IN THE SAME GRADE.
God Bless you Barack Obama!
May the light of Jesus help all this uneducated people…to vote for you and not for “Bush’s 3rd term”.
God bless America!!!!
Bruce Becker, I guess I`ll just hook my 30 foot livestock trailer to a Echo and take off.
We might not have a great choice in Clinton or Mccain, but at least a vote for either is a vote for America. We can’t take a chance on Obama. He’s has too many red flags.

Is it truly puzzling how H. Dean and the dems picked such an unlikely

Not electable. He barely gets half his own party behind him! Bye bye Obama!

Hit the caps button again. If you look on your keyboard, a light may come on indicating the caps is on if not it is off. Look to the right near and above the number keys. Caps lock button is to your left next to your pinky.
Hey RC,
I haven’t been on lately but thought I’d ask, how’s your boy doing?
Sooo……we are in a Cold War with the Middle East right???
We should just be like Kennedy and Reagan….right?
That is the problem with inexperience….trying to compare Islamic fanatics to the Cold War
You do not sit down with a LEADER whose wants to destroy ISRAEL…..Actually, the argument now is the President of Iran doesnt hold much power so it does not matter if you sit down with him…yeah, good one
Put me on with Obama….I will eat his lunch

i vote for change
too ashame to use your real name. Chicken
RC,
Great news!!!! Please pass on my families gratitude for his outstanding service and let me know if there’s anything you guys need.
Obama is nothing but and inexperiense IDIOT. I am a democrat and would never vote for Obama. Hillary or McCain, Democrats for McCain if Obama is the nominee.
DB, Will do. Are you still active? What Branch?
RC,
Retired from Air Force in 2005 and currently Civil Service Air Force in the Security arena.
DB, I remember talking about it before, but that was a while back. A lot of different people, and backgrounds to keep up with.
It is hard to believe that people in this country are so sick WITH PREJUDICE. You can’t even see a person for the character of a person, you just see that Obama is Black - oh yea lets not forget - Obama is half white. It’s ok to go after someone policies but it is truly sick to attack a person’s character. All you guys who say you can’t vote for a black man or I’ll vote for Powell – he’s black (he’s not running) or maybe you didn’t say it but it certainly is clear to me, you are PREJUDICE. When people make these types of comments, I remember the same types of people Bragging that they have “A BLACK FRIEND”. Please America try to open your minds and JUDGE A MAN BY HIS CHARACTER AND NOT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN. Everyone has a right to vote for their choice, but tearing down another person to do it is not necessary if your candidate is strong, they will win on their character and who the American people believe.
ruth j, Throw that race card….there it goes.
RC,
No sweat RC and perfectly understandable as I know there were a lot of people wishing the best for your son.
db
cant finish off when you have’nt started yet.
you vote for more bad choices
no one will listen to us ,with a man who wont sit down and talk.
he is showing his hand. isolating us from the world . thats his approach.
need to read what other people in ther world are reading .
we wont have a chance with mccaine .
billions of tax dollars down the drain. need to see what the war is costing us and
with 100 years or latest 5 more years of tax dollars being lost.
we need a better approach.
he flip flops now , he will be flipping and flopping more at our cost later.
Ruth,
I will not vote for Obama for many reasons. One is his affiliation with the IRREVERENT Wright (a racist and hate monger), Mr Rezko (a slum lord and alleged contributor to Hezbollah/Hamas), Mr Ayers (a unrepentant terrorist), and other far left radicals. Does this make me a racist or Prejudice as you say or does it make me a concerned citizen?
thrifts,
John McCain and Hillary Clinton have both said they will not sit down unconditionally with rogue leaders; while Barack Obama says he will. Now, both Senators McCain and Clinton explain it is a matter of not allowing these rogue leaders to legitimaize themselves. Obviously, Senator Obama doesn’t care about that but what’s most important here is for everyone to realize that saying you will not sit down unconditionally with someone does not mean there will not be talks/negotiations/etc.
FOX News Poll: Nearly half of Democrats (48 percent) think Hillary Clinton has a better chance of beating McCain in November — 10 percentage points higher than the 38 percent who think Barack Obama can win
thrifts,
It simply is a matter of perception, but believe me, perception does matter in the world. It is much simpler to negotiate from a position of strength as opposed to a position of weakness. And in this regard McCain suggest negotiating from a position of strength while Obama is willing to negotiate from a position of weakness.
Renee: Nice try but….MC CAIN ‘08
Afterall, we all Loved Reagan and he did a Great job and McCain is one
