How easily we forget!

I wish I could say “Obama who?” I would dearly like a break from the constant barrage of the Obamanation. Now I see that 75,000 can attend to worship at the feet of the new Messiah. Personally, I find the cult-like status of Obama rather intimidating. I have quit the party - it is all too cult-ish for me.

Living in the UK, and watching from afar, I find this hero status very hard to stomach, and am sadly preparing myself to vote McCain in November.

These are dangerous times…

who do you want running your country…Barack “No Vote” Obama that talks smack and his surrogate leadership team ( Jimmy “Peanut” Carter and retired Gen. Wesley “Perfumed Prince” Clark) or someone that understands strategies in dealing with military conflict and has been tested in on and off the field…

Jimmy Carter weakened our military, launched ill-fated missions, and allowed our embassy folks to be imprisoned and mis-treated…General Wesley Clark was so egotistical he almost started World War III over the Kosovo conflict by trying to play footsie with the Russians in a tit-for-tat issue that fortunately both European and U.S. Military leadership declined orders he gave…a situation he was later reprimanded for and sent packing by the then President Clinton…yep that’s the leadership team Obama would be using has his counsel…

McCain is the best candidate and times like these just magnify why he’s the right choice…

It’s SO NICE NOT hearing about Nobama for a change!!! I only wish it would be PERMANENT!!! Hope November finally SILENCES this madness! McCAIN! McCAIN! McCAIN! OUR PRESIDENT!!!

what foreign policy? from the man who still include cheskoslovakia has part of his foreign policy.

No biggy, Obama is not worth mentioning.

Have faith everyone. On November 5, it will truly be “Obama, who?”.

You can blame the McCain campaign for all the OBAMA noise we hear on TV. It is the McCain campaign that puts these ads on TV that go on and on about OBAMA this and OBAMA that.

The McCain campaign has decided that the can’t win the election on the issues and have made the election about OBAMA’s ability to lead.

It seems the McCain campaign is afraid to to talk about McCain’s position on the issues because they know that his postion is not popular among the American voters.

I think it more questionable for the people who refuse to vote for Obama if Clinton isn’t on the ticket. People should vote for the people or parties that represent their ideals. Voting to spite another candidate is such a waste of your vote. People wonder why politics are so partisan these days. It’s the clear divsion by the voters who refuse to compromise on the issues. Driven by some unknown hatred for the “Other” views, you vote not for the solutions but to further the partisan divide.

I read a article on why McCain cheated his wife. http://healthandsurvival.com/2008/07/14/why-mccain-left-and-cheated-on-his-first-wife/
I think McCain did the right thing. Befor going to war, his wife was swimsuit model. After torcher, when he came back, he expected same, but got disfigured one. So he had to marry Cindy. Look at Cindy now. So I liked John McCain’s judgement and I am voting for him.

It would be nice to never hear again the name Obama. Hopefully after November this will happen.

Greg C., What do you know about General Clark? I think, to you, GWB is also a war hero, though he never went to war and never cared about it.

Interesting that the press has been giving MCain a pass on his own adultery and the way that he kicked his poor wife when she was down… having been horribly disfigured in a car accident… she waited for 5 years for John to come home and her reward was that John pursued Cindy. Guess when his first wife no longer had her model figure, he needed to replace her with a trophy wife. Cindy sure fits the bill.

Below is the real story about John McCain and his treatment of his first wife is eerily similar to the way that Edwards treated Elizabeth. I, like most people, can get past an affair, but treating a sick person with such contempt is unforgiveable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before John McCain’s tour of duty in Vietnam, he married Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia. On his 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam in 1967, McCain was shot down and captured.

While he was imprisoned, Carol was in an auto wreck (1969), thrown through her car’s windshield and left seriously injured. Despite her injures, she refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.

When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. The accident “left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she had gained a good deal of weight.”

Yearning to make the grade of admiral, McCain enrolled in the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. and underwent physical therapy in order to fly again. The Navy excused his permanent disabilities and reinstated him to flight status, effectively positioning him for promotion.

In his book, The Nightingale’s Song, Robert Timberg chronicled McCain’s post-Vietnam military assignments and some of his “adulterous” behavior leading to his divorce from Carol and marriage to Cindy Hensley.

Timberg wrote, “in the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather [both were Navy admirals], since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path.”

While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and “engage in extra-marital affairs.” Such behavior was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates..

Timberg wrote, “Off duty, usually on routine cross-country flights to Yuma and El Centro, John started carousing and running around with women. To make matters worse, some of the women with whom he was linked by rumor were subordinates . . . At the time the rumors were so widespread that, true or not, they became part of McCain’s persona, impossible not to take note of.”

In early 1977, Admiral Jim Holloway, Chief of Naval Operations promoted McCain to captain and transferred him from his command position “to Washington as the number-two man in the Navy’s Senate liaison office. It wasn’t long before the “fun loving and irreverent” McCain had turned the liaison office into a “late-afternoon gathering spot where senators and staffers, usually from the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, would drop in for a drink and the chance to unwind.”

In 1979 at a military reception in Honolulu, McCain met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family. Cindy’s father, Jim, founded the Hensley and Company, the nation’s third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.
McCain described their first meeting, “She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident. I monopolized her attention the entire time, taking care to prevent anyone else from intruding on our conversation. When it came time to leave the party, I persuaded her to join me for drinks at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening’s end, I was in love.”

While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 — just a month after dumping Carol and securing a divorce. The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii.

McCain followed his young, millionairess wife back to Arizona where her father helped catapult McCain into politics. Today, Cindy Hensley McCain is chairwoman of Hensley’s board of directors. Hensley and Company financial reports show assets worth a minimum of $28 million for the McCains

Check bellow McCain’s divorce settlement:

Associated Press Writer
February 24, 2000
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - John McCain gave up his interest in two homes and agreed to pay $1,625 a month in alimony and child support when he divorced his first wife 20 years ago, court records show.
The senator and Republican presidential candidate divorced his wife Carol in 1980 when he was a Navy captain with a home of record in Orange Park, Fla., about 12 miles south of Jacksonville.
McCain, 63, gave her his interest in homes in Alexandria, Va., and South Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., according to records of the divorce settlement obtained by The Associated Press and other newspapers.
The Arizona senator agreed to give her their furnishings, $1,325 a month in alimony, $300 in child support. He also agreed to pay an additional $500 monthly if she couldn’t find a job.
She was subsequently employed in the Reagan White House, according to George “Bud” Day, McCain’s attorney during the divorce. Day also was one McCain’s cellmates when they were prisoners of war in Vietnam.
Carol McCain, who has remained friendly with her former husband, did not immediately return a phone call to her Virginia home Thursday seeking comment.
McCain filed for the divorce, stating in court records that the marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
Under the settlement, McCain maintained insurance policies worth $64,000 with their children as beneficiaries, agreed to pay for their daughter’s college education and paid $3,005 in joint debts. Carol McCain got the family’s Audi, while McCain was allowed to keep a Datsun 810 and his personal belongings, the records show.
A month after the divorce, McCain married Cindy Lou Hensley, heiress to Phoenix-based Hensley & Co., the nation’s second-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.
Carol McCain was seriously injured in a traffic accident on Christmas Eve 1969, but her husband did not find out about it until he was released from Vietnam, Day said.
In the settlement, McCain agreed to provide insurance or pay medical bills for additional treatment she was expected to require.

Conservative v liberal, are terms people identify with and are used to convey a comfort zone, a belonging or used as an accusation, an insult depending on which side someone stands. Could it be that they are over used today and lack a well defined meaning? Is it correct to call the Bush-Cheney administration conservative even though they have spent more than any previous administration, including more on pork-barrel, even when excluding the war? Was it conservative to want to give our port security to Dubai Ports or to ignore Global Warming until the problems will cost us far more than they would have if addressed earlier? Is it conservative to totally focus our spending on patronizing and placating Special Interests, a select few and the wealthy (who return support, contributions and future compensation) and hold back on programs addressing problems with our infrastructure and having benefit for the average American? Is it conservative to run up the largest deficit and trade deficit ever? Is it then liberal to spend on programs to offer job training for the poor and get them off of aid or is it only liberal to fund aid programs? Is it liberal to want to properly fund education or is it conservative to let education go under-funded? On and on with so many categories and always the question comes down to, if you are spending greatly on Special Interests and cutting back on programs benefiting the people, is that conservative? And likewise, if you are spending on programs that benefit the people, is that then always liberal? Take tax cuts for example: tax cuts for the wealthy, which tend to be considered conservative, offer little benefit for the economy as the wealthy already spend all they want to; tax cuts for the poor and middle class, which seem to get labeled liberal, get quickly spent and thereby do benefit the economy (and then even the wealthy). Is it that when only a select few benefit it is considered conservative and when everyone benefits it is then liberal? Could it be that the terms conservative and liberal are frequently used to hide behind, to rationalize actions that benefit the people who depend on using the terms? I strongly suspect that the terms are over used and lack a fine line of definition and that there is nothing conservative about what we have seen from the Bush-Cheney administration over the last eight years but rather that has been purposeful policies and excessive spending to benefit only a few who will now greatly compensate those who authorized all of it. Free trade, open markets and conservative policies in general, to be of real and lasting value, would seem to need to be applied with a liberal conscience and we just need to look at the current status of everything to literally see the proof of that.

I’d love to see the media focus a lot more attention on McCain & I’m an Obama supporter.
The reason they don’t is that if McCain is seen in as many gaffes as he commits there will be no contest come Nov.4th & the media knows it. They’re simply trying to protect their ad revenue interests.
Let’s hear McCain talk about the issues for a while. I like it…

When McFossil is horribly humiliated this November, will he, like defeated GOOP candidate Dole in 1996, then go make Viagra commercials too?

Hey Michael from Atlanta…. If you would pay attention, Its John Mccain that is throwing solutions and ideas that make sense both economically, and and morally pal. OBAMA has not one time shown ABILITY to lead, so if you dont mind me asking buddy, what HAS OBAMA done to show he can lead?????

NOTHING!!!! So unless u know what ur talkin about, its best to stay quiet pal!!!!

the Enquireris the truth now.
n y times the rag
ono sends employee to talk for him at FOX
should of sent a group
he’s chicken all yak no shack

I think Obama is trying to stay out of the limelight in lieu of all the negative responses he has been getting. I think Fox did a survey asking if people were sick and tired of Barack Obama…and the majority said yes…..I don’t think his campaign does anything without careful examination or planning. His trip is not incidental…believe me…

McCain has a command of issues in the region? How can you people that write this tripe sleep at night?

I think this conflict is about the autonomy of Ossetia. The conflict has endured because nobody in the West really listened to the Ossetians. Whoever the next president is, I would like him to TALK FIRST with real Ossetian people and their representatives. Then I would TALK with Georgians. And then I would TALK with Russians. All this, while extending the American muscle to keep cease-fire until some multilateral talks.
I would probably ask some advice from Zbigniew Brzezinski who wisely maneuvered the Soviet Empire out of existence. His work begun with President Carter. Reagan had the luck of putting the icing on Brzezinski’s cake, and got the credits. Carter had brilliantly delegated the foreign policy job to one of the most powerful politicians of our times. So I still would like to listen to what Brzezinski has to say about the conflict over Ossetia. Both Brzezinski and McCain, who may be of the same age, obviously dislike Russians. I believe Brzezinski has more foreign policy expertise in the Georgian case than McCain.
I liked what Brzezinski said about Afghanistan: we should out-bribe the tribal headmen instead of escalating. That’s said by the man who some think provoked the Russians into Afghanistan in the past. I guess one can age gracefully.

Greg C. you forgot Both Ways Barack

So let’s just keep trying the failed “trickle down economics” over and over and expecting a different result. Or maybe John McCain or Bush can give a lecture about religion to Putiin, like that sorry performance from Bush in China. Screwing up this diplomatic effort could get us into a conflict with a real first world nation with working nuclear ICBM’s. This is the time for careful diplomacy and not the belligerent rhetoric that got us into Iraq. Near as I can tell, both McCain and Obama have made identical statement on the matter. I’ll go with Obama, who so far has been correct in his judgment and in fact has provided leadership with McCain and the Bush camp following. McCain has shown his willingness to abandon principle to pander to the right wingers and lost his credibility with those that exercise critical thinking. We don’t need pandering, as a foreign policy.

Go ahead, NObama - give up Georgia !!!

APPEASE Putin and The RUSSIANS !!

NObama: NO Judgement to Lead

*************** McCAIN in ‘08 !!!

Commenting on Obama’s recent comments about the way to react to the Russian invasion of Georgia
Obama does not seem to know Europe is a Continent not a Country as he stated in a recent speech. It seems the term “Foreign policy” only indicates that any policy(ies) outside the US are foreign to Obama.
SPB

McCain must be gaining confidence now that he is only down 5% in all national polls.

All McBush can do it talk about Obama, whaaa, Obama this and Obama that. Let’s start talking about McBush. Being the “maverick” he is, McCain had a duty to cheat on his 1st wife with Cindy. Now there’s nothing misleading about that folks! But all you McBush supporters shouldn’t complain, it’s open season on character bashing according to you all!

Just like there is NOTHING conservative about Republicans (as they have proved over the past 8 years), there is NOTHING liberal about Democrates.

Actually Obama is on vacation to avoid having those debates he said he would have at any time and any place but he did what? OOHHHHHHHH yeah, he chickened out. As for McCain he is right about drill here drill now and get going, while Obama sits back and does the Barney thing of Ilove you you love me with the world and they do not love him. My son-in-law works in the middle east in Qatar and the people over there do not like nor do they trust Obama. From what we are told neither does Indea, or any of the other nations my son-in-law comes into contact with. The instability of the world makes it critical that we rely on our own oil and not on shipping it. Ships can be blocked and blown up. If we were attacked we would be SOL and seriously so. Obama’s little I will think about drilling knowing Palosi will never let it happen means nothing. Just as all his other little I’m for the lower incomes speaches while he votes no on every tax cut, break and benifit for lower incomes. He can slam McCain all he wants but I bothered to look up how he voted this year and compared it to what he promised. Too bad too sad Obama is full of it. No on tax breaks, no on increasing the pell grant for the poorer families to get a college education, no on child care for lower incomes, no on a seperate fund for social security to keep it safe, no, no, no, no on tax break for college students, middle and lower incomes, small businesses, no on energy research funds. So what is he for? Taxing the ranchers and farmer who inherit their family farms to the point they lose them, more social security taxes for gees who knows what, and more taxes on the middle and lower incomes. Go look it up and see just what all those promises Obama is making stack up with his voting this year alone much less before. Yes he will take care of all you out there. Obama will take care to pick your pockets clean while he smiles and tells you it is for your own good.

The folks on this message board for Obama are from his camp. There’s no way an Obama supporter would be reading articles on the FOX website because they’re FAIR AND BALANCED, unlike those other liberal networks. Obama is losing ground and the dems are now invading the message boards in an attempt to convince McCain supporters to come over to “their side.” Obama is nothing but a snake oil salesman.

A vote for Obama will be a vote for a second term of Jimmy Carter!

Beware of men who make great speaches impressing the masses and saying nothing.
“There are many examples in history that prove that great speakers resemble each other only in their effects.
The nature of their appeals to people, their appeals to the heart, vary with the time, the nation, and the character of the epoch.
Caesar spoke differently to his legions than Frederick the Great did to his army, Napoleon differently to his guard
than Bismarck did to the members of the Prussian Parliament. Each used language that his hearers understood and used
words and thoughts that reached their emotions and found an echo in their hearts.The daemon of their era gave each
the ability to speak in a way that raised them above his century as one of the eternal proclaimers of great ideas,
one of those who make history and transform nations:…Joseph Goebbels 1936
sound familiar?

Now we know where John McCain gets is foreign policy experience: Wikipedia.

A Wikipedia editor emailed Political Wire to point out some similarities between Sen. John McCain’s speech today on the crisis in Georgia and the Wikipedia article on the country Georgia. Given the closeness of the words and sentence structure, most would consider parts of McCain’s speech to be derived directly from Wikipedia.

mc cains ad stating obama will raise taxes on families making 48 000 is a lie. go to fact check.com. how come no fox report on this?

Obambi has secretly been traded to Georgia for two demolished tanks and a basket of bricks. It was the best the US could do with him. No one else wanted him! Georgia will use Obambi for a scarecrow.

And why would McCain even bother to mention Obama. Barack Obama is no long a force in the presidential race.

Amy,

I would much rather support a President that stands for the principles I elected him and one that chooses to stick to those principles rather than someone that changes with the wind. As for your comment regarding General Clark, I suggest you do your own homework regarding Gen. Clark both military and private sector. There’s a reason he’s called the “perfumed prince”. You might want to check out his former ties to Acxiom Corporation and Entrust and other lobbying work he’s done as a hired gun, using his former military connections for the likes of these companies to secure business on their behalf. In Acxiom’s case to try and secure business with Federal Gov’t in hopes to sell more consumer data contracts. His pot shots at McCain and his political motives are quite clear. He’s vying for position in Obama’s cabinet; you can count on it…first he thought he had a sure gig with Hillary only to find that he hitched his wagon to the wrong mule…

daniel…it’s beyond that now. Many won’t vote for Obama even if HRC is on the ticket. For MANY reasons (besides race), people just don’t like Obama and will NEVER vote for him.

I don’t like him and will NEVER vote for him because he complains and whines too much about our GREAT NATION. But most importantly, Obama attempted to benefit politically from FAILURE and INCREASED loss of American life in Iraq. Obama spent 2+ years spewing pessimistic, negative propoganda…only to hurt American morale…for his political benefit.

McCain is also a politician who hopes to gain politically from Iraq. McCain however, hopes to benefit politically from SUCCESS and LESS loss of American life in Iraq.

@ Ronnie
You can not give any good examples, Obama has comprehensive plans with details
for example 150 billion over 10 years to eliminate foreign oil from the middle east and venezuala within 10 years.
Mccain’s policy - yeah we’ll drill, oh yeah and some renewalable stuff too, oh yeah and clean coal, oh yeah and car batteries. No specifics.
McCain is also morally wrong for the country.

August 11, 2008

Dear David Plouffe:

For starters, the communities at-large are in dire need, and they supports political change, advancement, and trusts. Candidate President Barack Obama, can you offer a bi-partisan olive branch of change that we can be raised through asking a proposed Vice President Michael Bloomberg, an economic, crisis management bi-partisan czar drafted to serve his country and address the 21ST Century crises of the energy and economy to aid in actualizing the advancement of this great nation through a central coalition that will calling for change. A coalition guided through the character, wisdom and commitment of a proposed Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a person quite familiar with the abilities, style, and character of Michael Bloomberg? The great city of New York was his dressing room of challenge!

This sort of administrative led coalition would head of thirty- two (32) months of congressional gridlock by interacting with a counterpart coalition and impact immediate change to expedite crises national management. These leaders can do it through their leading a coalition our well qualified government experts forward to dissolve the Great American Crisis. We can design, develop, and implement a New Big Deal of Change that can guide the United States of America into the 21ST Century.

We need an eternal community, political and national healing; hindsight would be detrimental. We can continue to be as we are the living progressive example of a nation of advancement and change for the world to see. We do have a fail proof government. What can we do for our country beyond party lines for One Nation under God to heal the further heal the scares of the United States of America? The people desire nothing less than – an honorable, respectful, national leadership of change. May we all seek and hail “God Bless America!”

EXCELLENCES

@ Karen
The only people who pay attention to Fox is the far-right, of course they don’t like Obama

We will all be saying Obama who after Hillary Clinton steals the nomination at the DNC in Denver.

I listened to the first minute of McCain’s comments on Georgia and again he was reading (very slowly) and did not sound like these were his own words. This is my problem with McCain. He doesn’t seem very intelligent. He has difficulty expressing the message.

It still puzzles me how he manages to be in the 42-43% range against Obama. I am confident that when the college students return and Obama gets back full of energy with his speech ready to go, polls will be much more in Obama’s favor. AND he is writing his own speech. I read where McCain’s speech writer has been working on his speech for over a month and that McCain has been practicing it already. If someone else had to write my speeches for me, I wouldn’t feel competent to be in a very high position where I would be expected to speak often. I realize that Bush has a speech writer too for many of his presentations, but in today’s high tech society, politicians should be able to write their own.

OBAMA IS WHINING ABOUT HIS HATEFUL, ANTI-AMERICAN WIFE AGAIN! READ HER COLLEGE THESIS. REMEMBER HER HATEFUL COMMENTS ABOUT OUR COUNTRY?

WHY ISN’T HE MEETING WITH McCAIN AT TOWN HALL SETTINGS SO WE “AMERICANS” CAN ASK QUESTIONS OF BOTH OF THEM?

REMEMBER WHEN MICHELLE NEEDED MORE “WHITE” PEOPLE? — OBAMA NEEDS MORE “DUMB” PEOPLE!

THIS JUST IN: “WE NEED MORE DUMB PEOPLE”

Obama is forming the backdrop for his November aspirations: 5 yellow people, 4 brown people, 20 white people, 1 black person, 4 green people, 20 purple people and 55 “million” dumb people required.

The Obama committee will move people around from where they were sitting to have more “dumb” people in the front row, sitting directly behind Obama, to cheer him on.

Obama, Michelle, Pelosi, Dean, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, bomber Ayers and GD America Jeremiah Wright are stuck on stupid!

DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT!

JOHN McCAIN IN 2008!

Obama who is the big question, isn’t it? The Daily Kos website shows a copy of what is claimed to be a copy of Obama’s Birth Certificate proving Obama’s a US citizen - & born in Oahu, Hawaii in 1961. But several techies say its a photoshop effort. So Obama, do us all a favour. Use just a little bit of your vacation in Hawaii to give the Hawaii state government permission for us all to see your birth certificate to prove to ourselves that you are a genuine US citizen. Or are not, whichever the case may be!

Go on, do it! If you were genuinely born in the USA, you have nothing to hide. But if you were not, then where were you from - other than Kenya & Indonesia - & do you really qualify to run for the Presidency? And what else have you been telling us that isn’t quite true? I for one would be very interested to know!

Popularity and good speeches does not a leader make- Action- committment- and experiance. The youth vote means nothing- and can be deteremental if they don’t do their homework- about the right candidate= MCCAIN

Go to this address NOW: http://www.congressmerge.com/onlinedb/index.htm

And tell Congress & the Senate (your employees) to do some work!

Bring the Lazy, gutless democrats back to Congress and VOTE on Oil Drilling NOW…

Patricia - I think, with a few exceptions, all politicians at that level have speech writers. It’s more an issue of timing than intelligence. If you think of how much time it takes to write a speech and make all the edits, that’s all presidential candidates would be doing and would have no time to campaign.

But you’re right. McCain graduated in the bottom 1% of his class. He’s not intelligent.

HEY PAL(buddy),

If McCain had solutions people indentified with, he would be talking them rather than constantly bashing OBAMA. Question for you: Did anybody bother to ask if George Bush was qualified to lead this country? We have seen what a “experienced” president can do and we are ALL paying the price. ##############################################################

Fox we are happy you are getting the unwritten message that come January your washington funded media will be out of business when Bush would have gone and Mccain will be sucking his loss of the election. You and your republican backers are free to invent anti-Obama stories, but know that Americans are wiser. We are proud people and will NEVER wish to see John Mccain misrepresenting us among world leaders. We need intelligent, young and charming personality like OBAMA as our president.

If Americans elect McCain as president then I know that America is finished for life just like some observers have said which I do not share yet.

Obama is not going to win. I mean if we Americans are stupid enough to vote for Bush 2 times, why not McCain once. But wait. McCain=3rd term for Bush. Hmmm. Maybe Barack O’ does have a chance. But it ain’t happening if he keeps things as mellow as they are now. The primaries were tough on him, but when you are signing up to be President you need to be able to keep the fire burning. So right now, for sane people Obama is just the “Not Voting for McCain” and not the “Voting for Obama” candidate.

Clinton should question Obama’s birth, breeding, and education; no doubt. But, she should also question his attendance in a Black Liberation Theology church for 20 years, and his social philosophy of Black Reparations which he has said several times before that he favors.. He has used different labels for the Black Reparation, but it is what it is.. What it amounts to is an extension and expansion of Black Liberation Theology which actually is a Marxist/Socialist social-engineering philosophy that masquerades as a religion.. That is the mechanism that allows it to operate tax-free and without scrutiny by the federal gov’t, including the IRS …

Now the above tells it all. I would like to point out that not everyone can deliver a
speech or read from a telepromter, that doesn’t mean what McCain says does not come
from the heart. I would not trust anyone who sounds like my car salesman or
a crooked lawyer.

Most politicians read in order to keep their thoughts straight. Obama will not do debates that are not pre-written so he can be prept. He does cue cards. He rarely does open questions and half of the ones he does do are pre-arranged. Listen to his speeches they are the same things over and over. He rarely varies from his origal speech except to rearrange the wording.

Patricia - do you really beleive that Obama is writing his speech all by himself…..get your head out of the clouds.

See i like Mccain for his grittiness. I dont want a flushy guy for a presidnet, i want a tougher man who will not back down from a fight for fear of making himself look bad. Obama will be more worried about cozying up to other people hten doing anything at home. And he will have an adviser for ABSOLUTE EVERYTHING to do with the day to day running of the country because he has no experience. did you hear he has over 300 advisers already….doesnt that worry you a bit ?

patrica, no one write there own speeches. even the change obama doesn’t. that why he won’t meet with mccain in a town hall meeting he has to have everthing wrote down for him

I laugh at all you liberal idealists on here talking about Obama. Go ahead and vote for him, if he wins all of us conservatives will be able to sit back and say “i told you so” as he systematically makes us a weaker and more vulnerable nation. Your probably right, when the young, impressionable college students who really have no grasp on what the world is all about start to vote they will take precious votes away from McCain, and its ashame. Obama writes his own speeches? Is that why they caught him taking someone elses word for word a while back? Please, both candidates have their speeches prepped by someone else.

After reading so many responses, it is a shame that so many readers are looking for perfection in a candidate instead of reality. Forget the 504’s and the other special interest groups who’s job and main interest it is to dig up “dirt” on either candidate. I think the point here is who is BEST for the country and who is the best to represent our values, our history as we go forth. I have listened to both candidates and I find Obama leaning to socialism in a big way. He spouts a good word, a good speech, but in the end, it is not reality, it is just” do what I say”. John Kennedy once said “ask nor what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” It was beautiful, elequent, so true, but I hear Obama saying just the opposite!! In other words telling the American people, do think, be happy, the government will take care of you, SOCIALISM!! I hate that! Oh sure there are readers who will think I am nuts, but just listen to what he is saying. He wants to tax the PROFITS of the oil companies buecause they are making too much and give to “those who rally need it”!!! Come on!! This is socialism, pure and simple and the begining of governemnt doing your thinking for you, and you are willing to accept it if you vote for him. I am not crazy about McCain, BUT I know he places his country first, and that is good enough for me. He has my vote!!!

The first thing Obama needs to change is his DIAPER - and mature a lot more politically before going for such a heavy responsibility.

Only a total fool makes a kid out of college CEO of a multi-billion dollar company.

One must really be fooled by the sizzle and biased press to vote for Obama in charge of the United States and make a community organizer the Commander in Chief of this highly sophisticated military.

Obama, KEEP YOUR CHANGE, thank you.

Do you really think Mc Cain can/will lead this country and world to peace? How?

When the EU and the US acknowledged Kosovos break from Serbia, a precedent was set for Mother Russia to assist Ossetta in the same fashion. And mind you, it was Georgia who set off the chain of events that led to their thrashing. The US would be fools to trade our any of liberty and treasure for Georgia. Russia is and has been threatened by the our aggressive action to encircle it with NATO allied breakaway provinces and the angry Bear finally reared it ugly head. Lady’s and Gents, this is not IRAQ with a few ricin tipped SCUDs this a real country with real ICBMs. Stand Down, USA, stand down!!

Wake up people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What we need is peace and respect. We all need to address this.

IF WE MAKE OBUMMER PRESIDENT

PRETTY SOON AFTERWARDS THE

COLORED PEOPLE DOWN THE STREET

WILL BE TRYING TO BORROW MONEY

FROM ME AND PARKING IN MY YARD

AND WHERE DOES IT END?

Ok. He is on vacation. What a week to go.

Google: Bop-O-Meter on DIGG
to see where things are going.

A few days in Hawaii has not helped counter the “PARIS EFFECT.”

To: white male voter

Sounds as if your are racist and non-christian just like your idol

It is pitiful to see how little the Obamaniacs know about life. They believe in love feasts with our enemies, empty hot air and they do not have any shame showing how low they can get. I guess they follow the example of that cesspool of news paper: the New York Times. Yet, the American people will show that they are not stupid and would vote for a real person: McCain. Obamaniacs store your supplies of funny weeds because you are going to needed them after your idol loses the election

============================================================
YES, FIRST BY PUTTING YOUR LIGHTS OUT.

ALL Politicians have speech writers. Why is this a surprise to some of you folks??? It sounds like you can’t find fault with Obama on the issues, so you, like the McCain campaign, are finding meaningless topics to attack Obama with.

Why does Fox news insist on a negative campaign on Obama? I watch many networks and I’ve got to say that the “Fair & Balanced” network is anything but fair and balanced. Who are they trying to fool into thinking they are fair and balanced I always wonder. Fox news has gone rabidly mad for putting down Obama. This is the network that featured and adored George W. Bush! If you are a Republican reading this and are from the South or Mid-west plain states please consider that your party had eight years to move this country forward, and instead we have regressed. Now the policies that have stopped progress has led to one of the worst economic downturns and transfer of wealth in American history. Remember that all rural states in the middle of the country depend on tax revenue made in states like California and New York. That is why these states vote democratic for a reason and really its in the best interest of middle America to support these states because when those states don’t make money middle America suffers the most as you can see in the current state of the country.
