McCain introduces Obama crime record as issue
LA CROSSE, WI — In what could be a foreshadowing of where John McCain plans to go next in raising questions about his Democratic rival, he briefly mentioned today that Barack Obama has a lackluster resume when it comes to combating crime.
“I hope during the course of this national debate that Americans will examine Senator Obama’s record on crime. It’s very, very weak when you look at many of the votes he cast in the Illinois State Senate, as well as in the United States Senate,” he told supporters at a town hall meeting in Waukesha Thursday afternoon.
While crime has not been a prominent issue thus far on the trail with the economy in the headlines, it could potentially take center stage in the closing days of the campaign.
During his tenure in the Illinois State Senate, Obama supported a number of pieces of gun-control legislation including limits on handgun purchases and a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons. Obama also cast a vote in 2004 (in the minority) for a bill that would have disallowed people to use a self-defense argument if they violated local gun bans and used weapons in their homes. The Democratic nominee’s vote on that bill, among others, could make easy fodder for a McCain campaign ad casting Obama as weak on crime.
However, while the issue could be potent, it could also open up Camp McCain to accusations of fear mongering and playing the race card (see the Willy Horton ads in 1988).
No indications as of yet on if or when the crime issue will come up again but stay tuned.

[...] McCain introduces Obama crime record as issue By Mosheh Oinounou ?I hope during the course of this national debate that Americans will examine Senator Obama?s record on crime.

This is a worthless use of pixels. Come on FOX! Get out of the PALIN/MCCAIN tank.
Obama’s record needs to be examined. Seems that anytime anyone is the least bit critical of Obama, his campaign and supporters play the “racist” card. You don’t hear white people playing the “racist” card when Obama’s campaign is critical of McCain.
I hope that McCain and Palin continue to point out the big issues with Obama which includes the bad judgement he shows by the people he hangs around.
This isn’t about Obama being black. This is about his character.
By the way - I was originally an enthusiastic Obama supporter. Then his wife made her infamous statement. Then his pastor’s rantings came out. Then his connection with the Ayers came out.
I understand Obama refuses to submit his original birth certificate.
A Attorney through court filings has been blocked by Obama and the DNC through their court files.
If Obama don’t have anythng to hide then why is Obama having his legal birth certifcated blocked from the American people?.
I’m a legal registared voter and I think I have a right to know for certian whom I’m voting for.
Obama place of birth has been in question for a long time.
I think fox news because Bill O’ says you are looking out for us should get on this matter,right away.
I’m not sure of the online politcal news letter I got this alert from but seems it was worlddaileynet that alerted me about this matter.
.
Well maybe ready this story and see who the real crimanal fox… let she her get out of this one
Ms Palin answer these tought question remember in this world it not who you know it who you blow….Ms Palin..
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/10/10/palin_chryson/index.html
NObama is weak on crime, unless it’s his thugs that are the criminals. His battle plan was loaned to Raila Odinga for Odinga’s use in the Kenyan elections and the subsequent violence was endorsed in emails sent to Odinga from NObama’s Senatorial office. This will come out!!
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008!
I sure wish I could talk to one of you today while your in town!!!! Welcome to the wonderful town of LaCrosse am wondering if any of you were here in Feb with John McCain??? Will look for ya!!!!!! YAHHHHHHHHHHHH Have a safe trip and Go McCain!!!
Thanks and God Bless!!!

HHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH who we kidding?? They can do anything they want when the only people who care are morons and rednecks
Obama will win and you hate mongers will cry.. hahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahaahah
I love the headline, you make it sound like Obama is a criminal and he has a criminal record. Keep up the good work and McCain will win the election.
Thanks
I love how your headline makes infers that Obama is a criminal. Keep it up and McCain may have a chance.
Thanks

Banning hand guns and assault weapons is an issue supporting law enforcement. This writer has got it backwards. Its supposed to be used as evidence of lack of support for gun rights not crime. This is getting more desperate even reporters now write articles on its head.
Throw everything you got John because 4 weeks from now, you will be back to your senate seat weakened and bitter.
Obama’s record on crime? McCain was the one censured by the Senate for his involvement in the Keating Five fiasco. Palin is the one who evaded taxes and abused her power as governor.
who cares, thats was past tense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone’s voting record should be open to scrutiny during an election. I’m surprised this hadn’t been mentioned before.
As far as race is concerned, Mr. Obama opened the door on that one when he stated he didn’t “look like the Presidents on money”. Come on, we know what that means!
I have never seen a more poorly managed campaign. It just lurches around without any focus whatsoever.
What does this say about John McCain and his choice of people that surround him.
Can anyone smell desperation and fear in the air. According to all the polls this morning, Obama’s lead (from 2pts to 11pts in different polls) HOLDS despite four days of NEGATIVITY from the McCain camp. It appears people are horning in on the ERATIC nature of the McCain confused team. I feel bad for the Republican party- they have allowed a closet liberal to damage most of the chances they had of getting members back into congress. I know I am not going to join the Confused Talk Express nor ride with that One
Bob Barr 08
Is it just me, or isn’t supporting hand-gun bans and semi-automatic assault weapons sale actually PRO crime-prevention? Granted, not an NRA or 2nd Amendment position, but I am pretty sure that there is a huge camp that has always implied that some form of gun control would lower violent crime…
Hey McCain supporters check out obamaissuicide.com
Check out obamaissuicide.com
I think the way the Mc Cain Palin campaign has begun throwing dirt instead of campaigning on the issues facing america is making a compelling reason why people should not vote for them ! If they are looking at pools and think that throwing dirt is all they can do then they dont deserve the opportunity to lead the greatest country in the world
Unfortunately, this CNN story is not news.
Basically, what were saying is that someone alleges Obama committed a crime. Unfortunately, as yet, there is no proof. But CNN suggests that soon the proof will emerge.
What are we waiting for? Let’s show what we’ve got now and end this thing once and for all!
We need to substantiate our character assassinations if is anyone is to believe them. Otherwise, we just come off looking like jerks. Please, if anyone has any evidence that Obama has committed any crime, come forward! We need you!
I have heard the McCain Campaign speak at length over the last 2 weeks about Obama’s voting record, terrorist associations, admitted drug usage, and his lack of character and accountability. I have heard precious little from Sen. McCain on how he will responsibly solve the economic crisis, improve national security, reduce crime and gun violence, and improve education. Country First?
amazing how dem’s can’t see fact’s… and want to blame the world for their petty live’s
All you left wing idiots on here crying….GO BACK TO MSNBC OR KOS!!!!!
As McCain supporter I am disappointed. If the economy goes down crime will no doubt go up. Our primary concern NOW is how to put bread on the table.
Instead of coming up with a good plan for America, on how to fix our economy why does John McCain advisors mislead this great man and divert from the REAL issues? Personal attack on Obama and trying to take attention away from relevant issues is NOT going to help his campaign. Let McCain be MCcain, Maverick!
What has Obama said on how he will pay for the “tax cuts”,health care, more programs,more goverment spending? BTW he is doing away with president Bush’s tax cuts so middle class will loose 3,000. in tax cuts and Obama will give 1,000. You need to look into his economical past.
Yeah he is change but what kind is my question……….
In 2003, Democrats took the reigns of Illinois government with control of both houses of the legislative branch and the Governor’s office. Facing a budget deficit caused by out of control spending and budgetary shortfalls from post 9/11 recession, Democrats, such as Barack Obama promised to restore fiscal responsibility to the budget. Their solution to this budgetary crisis was the implementation of nearly $2 billion in new social programs, increases in fees and taxes imposed upon Illinois’ business community, and massive budgetary cuts in agencies across the board. Over the next 5 years the Democratically controlled legislature and executive branch would fail to balance a single budget, wasting billions on unsuccessful and costly programs while taxing Illinois businesses to the point that Illinois would rank among the bottom 25% of all states in economic growth.
Once again, Obama’s short lived record just doesn’t cut it. He talks the talk, but when push comes to shove he has not walked the walk. Over the past 5 years Illinois has consistently ranked among the bottom of all states in economic growth. Coupled by 6 straight years of fiscal policies identical to those Obama has called for in his campaign, this lack of fiscal constraint has led to a government unable to balance a single budget. It has not worked in Illinois and will not work nationally.
Obama record in Illinois is clear, when given the chance he raised regulatory fees, diverted the money to other agencies, and voted to cut the budgets of the very agencies responsible for regulatory oversight of the financial industry.

Fox - It is time for you to abandon Palin and McCain - ‘Those two’ simply do not have the GOP values that have held the party together.
Time to consolidate and seek a better candidate for 2012
Fox -you look weak by continually endorsing the McPalin rhetoric.
Boy, that is a truly misleading headline. This is a far more poorly written headline than the tabloid headline that conservatives were complaining about regarding Palin about a month ago. The implication of this “MAINSTREAM” news headline is that Obama has a crime record, which he does not…not that McCain is talking about Obama’s record ON crime. FoxNews once again shows its bias!
Is voter fraud a crime? Apparantly Obama doesn’t think so. Consider his contributions to ACORN, the organization responsible for stuffing ballot boxes for Obama in several states.
Obama can’t win this election without voter fraud. There aren’t that many idiots in the US.
The best way to prevent future voter fraud in the guilty states is to void all votes for Democrat candidates in this election.
OMG, y’all. Fox/McCain is at it again. Let’s talk about everything but the real issues, McCain.
You are not going to get my vote with all this stupid talk.
Oh what a tangled web you weave, when you first do deceive!!
you think mccain
Another classy headline from our decent friends at Fox.
Message to McCain…be a Man for a change and start telling these issues to Obama’s face.
Oh and Miss Palin..still waiting to hear your support for women to not have equal pay which McCain does support.
Famous Republican Michelle Laxalt is not that impressed with McCain at all with how he is treating this campaign and women. See this clip from Larry King the other night.

THE Is HAVE IT OBAMA BY A LANDSLIDE
There are reasonable arguments against Obama and for McCain. But the level of hatred that’s implied in many of the above posts is reactionary and frankly, not conducive to solving the grave problems that our country faces. Instead of focusing on his opponent’s ties to Ayers and Rev. Wright, questioning whether Obama was born in Hawaii, and implying that his wife’s hates our country, I would prefer to hear more about how McCain plans to fix the financial crisis.
If the above reflects the current feelings of base of the GOP, then the party of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Eisenhower has bigger problems than a potential Obama victory.
Will this golden nugget of journalism ease the concern of Americans struggling to make mortgage payments, help the elderly purchase medications, provide a solution to our recession, protect us form terrorists? Both candidates have had two nationally televised debates to prove their case for getting our vote. By all accounts McCain has failed miserably, so now he suggests that Senator Obama is a risk. Why was he not a risk three months ago or three weeks ago when McCain held a lead in the polls? This is coming form the Senator with all of the self proclaimed know how. I know how to win wars, I know how to catch Bin laden, I know how to reach across the isle, I know how to fix Washington, I know how to fix the economy, I know how to take care the veterans, so far all he has proven is that he knows how to LIE!
Fox is sooooo in the tank for McCain!!!! They won’t talk about McCain’s involement with the S&L Keating scandle. Even though McCain got a scoulding for bad judgement, the facts are he and Keating were good frieds and took vacations together. Keating went to prison….Then, how about The Palin’s involement with the Alaska Independence party that wants to separate from the US. I don’t believe that quilt by association is fair but thats the game the GOP is playing. Thats all they have left!
To Jo Ann Wulf:
I am not sure where this stuff comes from but his birth certificate is posted on his website to combat this ridiculous claim. There is no court case. He had to produce a birth certificate in order to run for president. By the way McCain was born in Panama, (on a military base). Try getting your information from reputable source.
I guess you fakes still screen blogs and decide which ones to post….fair and balanced..yeah right….lol what a joke
why is what McCain is bringing up considered smear tactics…its factual and true…its not desperate when telling the American people what they want to hear….I love how dems accuse it is as lies to get ahead…are you people that blind and so obstructed by the bright lights of hollywood floating around Obamas head. Oh yea a guy with no american birth certificate, ACORN and Ayers relationships will be the one to fix my economy and keep me safe…GET REAL PEOPLE!
For clarification concerning Obama’s birth certificate go to:
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html
factcheck.org is a non-partisan site that both canpaigns refer to.
Senator McCain should cite the crimes, not just talk about them, for instance the “stay” for Obamas’ birth certificate. Fair enough? go to http://www.obamacrimes.com If Obama doesn’t have anything to hide, why does’nt he just cough it up? What’s with you people? Are you not concerned that he wants to be sworn in with the Kuran? What a true patriot. NOT!!!!
Obviously McCain with do or say almost anything to try and get off the subject of the economy….
As the polls are showing this type of attack it pushing independents away from McCain and sending their votes to Obama. The problem is that the ONLY people who care about these attack dog issues are the republican base who are going to vote for McCain anyway…
Please enough already with the smear. The economy is in the tank and all you guys on FOX and conseritive radio want to talk about is character assasination. I think the question is who is the republican party? Right now McCain & Palin are traveling together, and you ask why? My friends they are running out of money. Plus they are going to states they have no chance of winning and only talking to the base. Not what I would do. Actually it would make more sense to go to the toss up states and try to secure undecided votes. Finally I hope McCain brings up all the character points during the next debate face to face. Bring it on, let’s see if he has the guts.
Obama/Biden will win the election. Then after inauguration day, the Democratic Party will control the executive branch and the legislative branch. The question is, will that be a good thing for the Democrats? I know what your first response is, but now look a little deeper. Can you imagine President Barak Obama casting a veto on anything that Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid pass out of the legislature? We are going to see every lame brained left wing idea ever floated passed into law. Along with that will come the inevitable unfunded mandates that the American people could not afford before the current economic collapse. The truth about that is only now coming out. The American people will soon become aware that it was caused by the Carter and Clinton administrations twisting the arms of banks to coerce them into loaning money to people who had a low probability of paying it back. The Obama administration will try to blame Bush and steer the finger pointing away from Sen. Dodd and Rep. Frank, but at some point people will expect the Democrats to stop blaming and start fixing. Thats when Obama will ride the sinking ship to the worst Democratic administration in recent history and become the Herbert Hoover of our time. Hava a nice day, Barak!
Ayers! Ayers! Ayers!….no? Anyone?
OK, how about this: soft on crime! soft on crime! soft on crime!…
And the flailing goes on.
leave obama alone he will win so what if he has a criminal record everyone makes mistakes usa needs obama

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And if not, will y’all please shut the hell up with the tepid character assassination attempts?
I’m disheartened at the amount of hate that is pouring out on this thread. An I was naive enough to think that we, as Americans, would actually stick to the issues and what is going on with the American people instead of drudging up dirt. It seems to me that the McCain campaign is getting desperate. And the responses…it would be one thing if people were responding to policies when attacking Obama…but they are attacking his person and character. So ask yourself….and be honest…what is the REAL reason that you have such a huge problem with Barack Obama? And… we need someone who will improve the way that American is seen throughout the world, and that person is not John McCain.
This is almost comical. Fox News is the 2008 McCain/Palin messenger. Your news over at Fox is barely news anymore. $*&% Fox.
“While crime has not been a prominent issue thus far on the trail with the economy in the headlines, it could potentially take center stage in the closing days of the campaign.”
The dow dropped another 500 points this morning. The world economy has gone down the drain. We are fighting in two wars….and you think crime will be the key issue in the last days of the Presidential campaign….
Are you high?
By winning the Democratic convention Obama has divided this country like it has never been divided before. I see divisiveness even greater then when Bill Clinton was impeached. I fear this country is becoming so split that we will become a 2nd rate or 3rd rate country in the very near future. Obama (nor McCain) are not uniters, they both are dividers. Pretty sad when you have one who is not qualified to lead and the other too old.
I’m a lifelong Republican. I will remain true to my party and vote for the platform, particulary the right to bear arms and pro-life.
However, I am extremely disappointed in the McCain/Palin campaign strategy of late. The tone and rhetoric are wrong. Creative liberty on the alleged facts of the attack on Obama/Biden are boardering on absurd. The only people being energized by this alleged strategy, in reality, tactic, are those already committing their vote to McCain/Palin. There is no new enthusiasm of uncommitted voters moving in large blocks to McCain/Palin.
My advice, for what it is worth. F-O-C-U-S on the things that really matter…economy, foreign relations, jobs, taxes. Discuss why the GOP plan for success is superior to the liberals.
Please STOP the whining for the sake of the Party!
why didn’t talk about paster Right.
Just a thought…as far as looking down the road a bit, if Americans don’t wake up.
Will there be an Obama “Give ME Fairness Doctrine?”
Give ME your sick and I will heal them fairly - my way
Give ME your uneducated and I will educate them fairly - my way
Give ME your money and I will redistribute it fairly - my way
Give ME your weak and I will strengthen them fairly - my way
Give ME your individualism and I will socialize it fairly - my way
Give Me your conflicts and I will lose them fairly - my way
Give ME your country and I will obliterate it fairly - my way
Give ME your world and I will rule it fairly - my way
Give ME…you fill in the blanks - my way
While everyone is slinging mud at the four people running for President/Vice President, they should remember that these people have a limited amount of power. Congress is the voting body that could have stopped Bush at any time if they so chose to get together and vote for the people back home who put them in office in the first place. McCain and Obama were only one vote, at any time. What about laying the blame where it really belongs and get the lobbyists and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. term Congressmen/women out of office or make them accountable for their collective decisions that put us in this terrible state of near-depression. Stop picking at the top four, who are blowing millions for a chance to sink with the ship that started sinking before they even got in office. Start thinking of how we can get the real culpits out of office and start fresh.
Advice to the McCain camp, Obama has always voted the party line so whenever Obama brings up economic issues, I would tie him straight with Dobbs, Reid, Nancy, and Franks.
The team of Dem’s that cannot be voted out of office will have a free pass to continue screwing up our future.
Mark H
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA…Fox is so freakin funny with thier misleading headlines! I’m shocked they even posted what I just said. What joke for a news network!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA…Fox is so freakin funny with thier misleading headlines! I’m shocked they even posted what I just said. What joke for a news network! Nice try Fox!
McCain and Palin have been calling themselves “Mavericks” so much…a move that only out-of-touch idiots would make. Well, it has finally back-fired, thank God! The actual relatives of the original Maverick have come forward publicly to say that they are appalled by the McCain/Palin campaign using their family’s name. YES!!!!!!!!!
Borak Hussien Obama ?
No real birth certificate ? lived outside USA for a short time with Mom & Stepfather? Then back in Hawaii with white grandparents? attended 3 different expensive colleges ? Chicago politics? Lives with wonderful religious leaders & neighbors? Senate 1/2 term? the rest of the time running for president ? Wow!!!!!!! first of all the impression that comes in my head is the movie “The Omen”. Or better yet the movie “Departed”. The benefactors? The 3 religious leaders and neighbors who have selected him and created him.
Obama’s Crime Record - Did I hear ACORN? Voter Fraud is escalating…. Obamanation? No way.
God Bless America!
However, while the issue could be potent, it could also open up Camp McCain to accusations of fear mongering and playing the race card (see the Willy Horton ads in 1988).
Keep your personal comments out of a news story!
Just give it up Sarah and John. The race is over and you both are not the winner. You are using dirty tatics to try and win, however it is not working. If you keeping listening to people like Shawn, Rush and some others from Fox, you will not only lose by a little, but by a lot. Just face it Shawn Obama will be the next president of the United States.
Also, to the person who thinks that Barack Obama is trying to hide his birth certificate. Do a search for “Obama birth certifictate”. You can find plenty of copies of it.
Maybe you shouldn’t believe every email you get…
Jo Ann Wollf …. “I understand Obama refuses to submit his original birth certificate.”
come on lady look for the facts instead of just listening to fixed news
http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate
here’s an official Obama website with a copy of his birth certificate
Republican McCain definition of justice. Charles Keating, getting 10 years for embezzling (stealing) 10 billion doooolaaaaars , in the Savings Loans scam of 91 that will cost tax payer until 2020 (it’s like deja vue ,man) There is a cycle happening here of the wealthy completely ripping off the taxpayer every 15 years and completly getting away with it. Because some American are easily blinded by one issue. Screw these petty issues and start watching our politicians, look at thier histories (did you know McCain was part of that bailout as well). Did you know that Bushes Grand Father is responsible the curent treasury bill, that allowed banks to print our money, then lend it to us at an intrest. Don’t wonder why Chase, JP morgan, BOA are the only ones standing. Watch, these banks will now buy up all the defunct bank at pennies mon the dollar, and then apply for part of the billion dollar aid package. Yeah keep talking about dumb gun rights, while all your other rights are being trampled on. Has anybody ever heard the PATRIOT ACT! sight!!!!!!!
Why do McCain supporters seem as angry and crotchity as him? Bush and his cronnies were hateful too! Try to be positive, talk about the issues and stop trying to throw weak insults! It makes you look distracted and scared!
They Need to Ask Obama about is relation with Rashid Khalidi member of PLO and really doesn’t like Israel at all and Obama considers him a great mentor to him. Obama needs to open up the books of his life completely.
obama, in IL was known as the Senator for Acorn becaues he voted and passed legislation always in line with the far-left radical train of thought. he has voted on the side of criminals at the IL state senate, saying law enforcements are too tough. this is the far-left radical train of thought, hate the government, law enforcement (remember these were the areas they bombed when weather underground were bombing) and side with the very very poor and criminals to gain political power.
HOW MUCH DOES FOX GET PAID TO BE THE REPUBLICAN MOUTHPIECE?
islandgirl–I have not heard the Obama campain throw the race card… I have been near McCain rallies and heard some hateful and racist comments yelled from the crowd. We teach children to stand up and stop a person that is being a bully, yet the McCain/Palin team stand and bask in the comments. Who is playing the race card? The religion card? Lets see if McCain/Palin mention Obama’s middle name for the millionith time. Find something new to talk about… ooh maybe what you will do as president.
McCain?palin supporters have blinders on.
“LURCH” MCCAIN
OK, you’ve won the right to be called “Lurch,” among many other mostly cartoonish names, Sen. McCain. Who at this point would trust you anywhere near the White House? What foreign visitor would want to even shake hands with you, your Vice President, and, increasingly and shockingly, your wife?
Mitt Romney has class and composure to spare. What a difference that would have made.
Country First???? In the debate McCain said I know how to fix Social Security “It’s easy” Well he has been in the senate for 25 years if it was so easy why didn’t he fix it. He also said he knows how to get Bin Laden but won’t do so unless he is elected???? WHAT?????? Country First??? I don’t think so. I know Obama is not the choice of this network and board, but McCain is by far the weaker man in this race. Sad but ture.
Obama has more hidden things like his ties to his corrupt Kenyan cousin, Luo Raila Odinga. Obama was involved in his cousins election and even helped him to win by cheating via e-mail from his senate office. Obama also gave $1 Million to Odinga. This is stuff that liberal MSM idiots won’t report on. This story is 100% true and I believe more will come out about this especially since Jerome Corsi has copies of Obama’s e-mails that were sent to Odinga.

Todd Palin = AIP He was a member for 7 years. County First? Not for Todd. It’s Alaska first.
wow this writer has it completely backwards. the headline makes it sound like Obama has a criminal record. FOX News has got to go. Every topic on this site is McCain this, Palin that, McCain calls out Obama, Sexist or not?… GIVE IT UP.
I’ve been pretty fair to both campaigns this year, but all of this BS, especially on Fox, really turned me off.
OBAMA/BIDEN
Someone wanted to know what crime Obama had commited, what about his admitted drug use, that is illegal. All of you Obama supporters are way too willing to forget about his past record, he talks a good talk but as far as I am concerned that is all he is capable of doing. He has no serious substance and not even a sound record. If Obama is our next president, we can expect the worst with a Dem led Senate and House, they will rule this land and the Dems in Congress don’t have a very good record of accomplishments.
first of all neither of the candidates have no clear plan to fix things & if they did congress has to approve of it.as someone that will vote for McCain i guess i’ll have to get used to being called a racist by people who don’t know me.the problem with Obama is the man has very little accomplishments & what there is should be scrutinized.
more people should actually read the constitution & bill of rights.the economy is in the condition it’s in because of many reasons greed,apathy,lack of responsibility & a give me all i can get attitude.
i guess if you think your federal government is the answer to all your problems Obama is you man. like picking a car wreck or train wreck.
As a small bussiness owner.
I will vote for McCain.
McCain IS the only man in this race who has and WILL continue to fight to keep American SAFE.
sorry Hillary, you should not have spoke up sooner.
So what is Mr. Obama’s plan? Have his speech writers write an eloquent speech about how he will save the economy. Let’s start hearing some hard cold facts on how he plans on doing it!
Quit blaming the Bush Presidency. Getting to be as old as McCain saying “ My Friends”.
The liberals have been so swooned by Obama and his ability to speak so eloquent. They could care less about his record in the senate. They could care less about his character.
They could care less about who he used to run around with.
There brains have been polarized to think one thing. He will be our savior.
I’m telling you…you need to start asking Mr. Obama some tuff questions on his plan.
Go to fact check and see if there correct.
his original birth certificate. Has been verified.
http://my.barackobama.com/birthcertificate
anyone voting for obama is unamerican. Has anyone information on what security clearance he has? The FBI should thoroughly investigate his background his associates and friends and if he cannot command a TOP SECRET security clearance he should not be a Presidental candidate or even a Senate candidate. Voters have a right to know EVERYTHING about the people who are asking for their votes. And honesty and integrity are utmost requirements for us to have confidence in our leaders and if any candidate has been dishonest or secretive in any way about their associations or background, that should be made public in ALL the news media if we are to have faith in our news sources and rely on them to be objective and keep the faith of the american people. BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! THIS goes for all candidates in all parties. We as voters do not want any regrets after the election, and we want to be proud of the dedication and patriotism of those making the decisions in our Government. It’s our FUTURE!
