Hey guy! The stock market fell today because it is afraid of Barak Obama! he is bad for business large and small. How come no one says this? this is it!! Also Obama never said he was sorry for what Lewis the idiot said! Obama is a idiot and not fit to serve. I don’t vote for a “public speaker” I vote for a president, I feel safe and secure with the old guy.

I wish it was Mitt instead of John McCain - McCain was extremly CRAZY to choose Sarah Palin

Geraldine Ferraro says she’s surprised the candidates didn’t cover foreign policy. If she had listened to the moderator–at the beginning of the debate–he said very clearly that the debate would focus on domestic policy. Slipping into senility? It’s definitely not McCain.

Like all thoughtful people, he laughed because that is all McCain has left. McCain is a joke, an the best bit about it is that even the Republicans know that.

It’s over.

why does Obama want us to CHANGE so badly. Who wants to change from being the most powerful, prosperous and free country in the world? I love it here, with its ups and downs. What exactly is his change? What, should we be more like, say….. France?

Do you believe that Obama has the advantage partly because of the fear McCain has of accusations of playing the race card? If Obama were white, would the gloves be off? I think McCain is a gentleman and is afraid of being accused of being a racist if he really takes on Obama. McCain needs to treat him as he would a white candidate. McCain had no problem being negative immediately about Biden.

Also, where is Michelle? Why did they send her underground? Cindy is always at the side of her husband. Is the Obama campaign afraid that Michelle will expose the Obama myth? Where will they hide her when she is in the Whitehouse?

McCain lost the debate… at least he’s consistent

In reality, I feel that Dan Pfeiffer’s statement show just how shallow the Obama campaign thinks Americans are that they would/should only be focusing on the economy instead of the Broader spectrum of who Obama is and what his policies will do to the American Economy.

Wow, Debbie have you been living under a rock, we do need change, especially from the last 8 years. Have you been paying attention to the news lately? Since you are so unaware why we need change why don’t you click on the link below because it shows the history behind the deficit clock that was just maxed out, which is scary. Take a look at the bottom of the list because it shows that under Clinton ’s watch we were in a surplus and the clock stopped. Also take note at the top because under bush’s watch we now have to replace the clock with a new one because we ran out of spaces. So do you really want the same because if you vote for mccain it will continue our debt because he has voted 90%- 95% of the time with bush.

In the first presidential debate, second presidential debate vice presidential debate, and third presidential debate, more uncommitted voters said the Democratic candidate was the victor. CBS News poll of uncommitted voters……..

Uh Debbie…We need change because when you go to Europe they dont even accept the dollar. We need change because we are spending 10 billion a moth in a war that we should have never been in. We need change becaue we are borrowing billions of dollars to ay for fuel from China. We need change cause health care is too expensive. We need change cause we just spent 700 Billion on a bailout. We need change because as a country we are not respected around the world. I am a world traveler , I know what people say abroad. Maybe you should get out more. You must be on of those yahoos at the Palin tallies. Un informed and ignorant@

For Debbie

A view from outside the States -

The USA has changed dramatically over the last 10 years, but in a direction you do not want to be heading. You are rapidly losing ground to China in economics and military, your president for the last 8 years has been a figure of contempt and ridicule, and far from being the saviours of the world that you once were and still want to be, you are seen as bullies who take what you want giving little in return, and have traded your principles in to make a fast buck.

Whoever wins this election needs to start reversing the trend before its too late. Contrary to what you may think, the USA needs the rest of the world more than they need it right now. You need strong, intelligent, level headed leadership to get back to what you once were - Respected !

Wow Debbie have you been living under a rock, we need change especially due to the last 8 years. Since you are so unaware why don’t you check out the the link below because it shows the history behind the deficit clock that was just maxed out, which is scary.

I could be wrong, but aren’t you supposed to “buy low and sell high”? Why would Obama encourage people to pull out their 401k plans by taking away the early withdrawal penalty? If this did happen and many people took advantage of it, wouldn’t that just cause the markets to fall even further?

Thanks Geraldine for stating “only the kids are texting pro McCain”. You would suprised to know that I am a 54 year old women who voted for and support Senator McCain and so do the majority of my friends.

MCCAIN SEEMED TO MAKING FUN OF US WOMEN IF WE WAS TO HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS DURING A PREGNANCY, HE KEPT SAYING HEALTH PROBLEMS AND USING HIS HANDS IN QUOTAIONS AS HE WAS SAYING, SORRY IF WE MIGHT HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS MCCAIN!

Linda:

No, Michelle is actually allowed to speak because she is not an uneducated drug addict.

Love the bit Obama said about FOX news - hahahahahaha

what was up with McCain’s facial expressions? His expressions made him look like a nitwit. And I want to vote for him, I want to, I can’t bring myself to. First he puts Palin on the ticket, one heartbeat from the presidency and then down we go.
and what about his finger quotes when talking about womens health and abortion. OMG< we would never see him do that when talking about a mens health issue. I hate to say it, but McCain lost alot of women right there.

I agree that the US is the best place in the world to live. I have lived outside of it for years, serving underprivileged countries, and it is amazing to me how little people care about their freedeoms. I would rather be taught how to fish, than to be given a fish from the government. I am all for self reliance. We are the most generous country in the world, because we also have good chrisitan values amongst other wholesome view points as well.

I sure hope Mccain can catch up and pull this one out. So tired of hearing about Socialism Obama Style. It will never work. Never has, never will under governments of men. Too much greed, and corruption.

Debbie is probably part of the 20-odd-percent of the country that feels that our country is heading in the right direction and that same percentage of citizens that feel the economy is good.

Linda- Michelle spends most of her time home being a mother to her daughters. Cindy has abandoned her children by becoming a drug addict, then dumping them with friends after she had a stroke instead of choosing to have her rehabilitation at home.

Barack and Michelle have a happy 16-year marriage where their girls are their focus. Cindy and John are adulterers and Cindy adopted Bridget without even discussing it with her husband.

I am a staunch Republican, but the “family values” on display by the McCains has turned me into an Obama voter. The way John treats Cindy breaks my heart. This “values voter” is voting for the candidates that actually live a righteous Christian life, not ones who just pay lip service to it.

I have three statements:
Obama “My Plan is to Spread the Wealth Around”
Obama “I will raise your taxes”
Obama: Spend, spend, spend!

All these at a time when the Economy is in a mess because of liberal spending!
This is why the Liberal control Congress is the lowest rated congress in history!

Enough said!

As the most recent Nobel prize winner in economics says, The GOP “is the party of the stupid.”

You guys were a little tough on Debbie. As for the perception “of the rest of the world”… what a bunch of B.S. Have you all forgotten the tragic day of 911? That was an attack not just on a couple of buildings, it was the start of a war and it hurt our economy very badly - that may have a little bit to do with the turn budget surplus turn around. Remember the countries that were dancing in the streets when that happened. Bush was in office for less than a year, you can’t blame that on him. Ask yourselves why the “rest of the world” were less than enthusiastic to join with us. Its simple economics… they had their hands in the back pockets of Afghanistan and Iraq and didn’t want to lose their profit margins. Also, all of the Europeans have had such an influx of Islamic immigrants over the last twenty years that they were afraid of upsetting their own population. Its about economics, its about preserving their own power in their own country. That’s why they don’t like us and that’s why they don’t stand with us. Its not because we went against their principles they don’t have any. What a bunch of losers - with their values I don’t care to have their acceptance. They can just turn to the UN and those thugs the next time Russia decides to gobble them up and they want Marshall Plan 2.

Obama is just a slick talking guy. The kind of guy that sits in a board room and talks the talk, and tries to take credit for someone else’s work.

“Senator Government” Mccain has endorsed Obama and conceded defeat,

“Senator Government” - Sounds like Mccain has endorsed Obama to me.

Senator Government Sounds like Mccain has endorsed Obama to me.

This is such an out of context selection of words. The country is in dire straits and you want to slant the news toward your candidate, and I understand, but you should deal with the issues and not just the McCain talking points. Shame on you.

Apparently the only thing that matters to most Americans is who is the better public speaker. I hope Obama can talk America out of its problems, because that’s the only thing he’s good at.

McCain started well - but then lost his temper and Obama ended up winning comfortably - this election is over. I am looking forward to President Obama.

When Michele Obama is not out campaigning she is at home with her children and seeing them off to school. Sadly, Palin is running around the country and hasn’t a clue what she is talking about.
Why do you even care about where she is or what she is doing? She is not the candidate.

Why I can’t support Obama.
1. He condones racism, when it is in his favor and has a close 20 year relationship wit a radical racist.
2. He lies and lies on major issues. He lied to the nation about whether or not he was running for president and he lied about taking public funding for his campaign — neither trivial issues.
3. He has a long track record of close associations with people who represent the worst in America. Rev. Wright, Ayers, two of the architects of the current market collapse –Johnson and Raines, and he has taken significant amounts of money, advice and help from a convicted felon.
4. If he were to show up as an applicant for a job to manage a small business, like a Starbucks, they would say that he lacks the required executive experience.
5. He has no record of bipartisan cooperation in his state legislative or congressional record. He is a divider, not a uniter.
6. He avoids talking about the things that matter personally — like his character and why he should be chosen to lead. Instead, he diverts those questions to areas in which he has a prepared answer — he does not have the capability to lead when off script. Being president is all off the script.

anna, u must be on welfare because those are the people that want obama to win. they will get free money from us hard working people.

Two years ago today the DOW was at 12000 and no one complained about the economy.
Two years ago, we elected a democratic majority in the house and senate.
Today, congress has the worst rating in history and our economy is is turmoil.
This equals - lets blame President Bush.

Obama would give me a tax break - but I don’t want someone elses hard earned money, I want the money that I work for. I agree with Joe the Plumber. God graced me to be born in the USA and I love America. I love the freedom to work 40 - 60 hours a week and make my living - or choose to be lazy and make less.
Obama is a socialist. He has a history of poor associations.
There is something worse than a dip in the economy that America has the ability and strength to recover from. You don’t retreat from Socialism.
It is a process - and America seems willing to take that first step. Its gonna be a doozy and a very sad day for America’s future.

On security, the question is do you want US relations with the rest of the world to improve or continue to disintegrate? International polls show more than twice as many people worldwide think Obama would help improve US relations:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7606100.stm

On the US economy, McCain said himself it’s not something he knows a lot about. He relied on people like Phil Gramm who in gutting regulatory oversight contributed to the current economic meltdown. McCain appears erratic and too knee-jerk to carefully guide the kind of nuanced and thoughtful policy we need to recover from the economic brink, generate job growth and get us back on track.

http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/18/news/newsmakers/tully_gramm.fortune/index.htm

McCain’s campaign has been poorly run from the start. He should have concentrated his most resent efforts on the undecided, not his base. He chose Palin ONLY to get Hillary’s women’s vote. A bad bad mistake! And Alaska can only offer 3 electorals??? What were they thinking? He’s lost Michigan 2 months before the election, when he may have won it, and Ohio, had he chosen Mitt Romney. And tonights debate was just more of the same McCain…personal attacks that the country is really tired of hearing. We would rather hear about the details of their platform. McCain has done the worst job of this and the polls refelct it. It shows that the Republican Party, in general, is still living in the past.

Linda wrote: “Do you believe that Obama has the advantage partly because of the fear McCain has of accusations of playing the race card? If Obama were white, would the gloves be off?”

>>>

Ummm, McCain and his campaign have called Obama a friend of terrorists that sees a “different” America and wants us to lose a war (um, that’s treason)… I think McCain dropped the gloves long ago. How much nastier do you want McCain to be?!

I think America has had enough saber rattling over the last eight years. it’s time for a thoughtful, calm leader for modern times.

My words to I-want-this-now society: President Bush took over a lagging economy from Clinton. We prospered and stocks soared under President Bush’s watch. The economy is cyclic. President Bush did a magnificent job after 9/11 - it is amazing that we did not have a financial crisis at that time. Many Kudos to Bush! Doesn’t Obama know that we had to spend a great deal of money on this tragedy, leading to some of our deficit.
I’m embarrassed to live in a country with people who bash the President when they feel the urge or when they think it’s the cool thing to do. If you do not like what is going on, write your elected officials. But with the likes of the dividers (not uniters) Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, no use writing them. They continue to fail us and are partly to blame for this financial crisis.
Senator John McCain will make a grand President. He was educated at the awesome U.S Naval Academy, the most prestigious college in the world. Visit the Academy, and you will understand why he is the best choice for President.
Obviously the definition of democrat has changed. Remember John F. Kennedy’s words, ask not what your country can do for you - ask what can you do for your country. Seems things will change with Obama. He wants to know what the working people will do for the non-working people! That is all! Go McCain/Palin!

McCain has spent all of his public air time chasing the ghost of “bad guys” around Obama and didn’t have the guts to hit Obama as hard in person as he does in the adds. He knows it’s a losing message and he can’t do it as the figure head. Maybe he should stick to the issues at hand and get his campaign out of he gutter. He did in fact lose this debate by every poll I’ve had the opportunity to see tonight. McCain needed a game changer and he wasn’t able to deliver AGAIN!

I need change in economic policy if my family and my friends are going to keep their homes or jobs. McCain is four more years of Bush on every MAJOR issue we face. The country can’t change with him as the leader and the world view of America will continue to deteriorate if McCain takes office. The good news is that Obama will be the next President of The United States of America.

God bless all of you.

Obama sit on the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge!
Factcheck.org is part and parcel of the Annenberg Foundation.

So tell me Ann Smith why do you think that factcheck.org would be fair in their checking of the facts?

Unfortunately, McCain just doesn’t connect well with the average person. He doesn’t provide specifics on how he will help the average family, except to say that he doesn’t want to tax anybody. We want new ideas! We want someone who inspires us with intelligence, eloquence, and hope.

Where’s Obama’s birth certificate?

Let’s lok at the facts here. Under Clinton we had the change of accounting rules for mortgage companies. This led to today’s current “bomb” in the economy. Co-incidence it happened during an election year? I think not. The republicans just muddled along. Democrats have had control for the last two years in the Senate (which is by the way the length of Obabm’s CAREER in US Federal Government. He has 2200 days in State Government.) During the last two years of control congress has done nothing to change the FASB rules from the imminent doom passed by Clinton in the 1990’s. In touting the facts, let’s get the facts right. Obabma has done nothing in congress. He is a junior senator who has no track record. No history. Nothing for anyone to lok at. This is an “unknown” with great funding running against a known long term senator. Obama laughing tonight shows a person I would not want to be president. Obama may have “won” the debates. But in watching the character, McCain won. In each of the 3 debates Obabma has made major slips in his talking. McCain has held firm grasp on everything. Um, also the “earmarks” have not been dropped by Obama either since the first debate, they are just on “hold”. If you want to complain about hecklers, get real. Every person in congress has those issues. No one in government has a corner on the market. And his association with his pastor. I find it too hard he can just “change” with the friend of 20+ years overnight. His book title was derived from a sermon of his. Something just doesn’t smell right about Obama who was adopted by his islamic stepdad and named Barry Soetoro (oh by the way Soetoro is connected with major oil so don’t expect a break if Obama gets elected) until he travelled abroad in college. Call me crazy, but I will vote for someone who has a track record. Knows American foreign policy. has been on major senatorial councils, voted for American people whether with his party or not, and is called the “sheriff” in DC.

I’M 42 AND MY HUSBAND IS 44 -Bottom line if I had wanted to support more people I would have had more children!
Instead my husband and I decided on 2 children, because that is what we could afford.
We have never received any help even when times were tough. My husband took on another
job. When our children started school I went to work for a small business owner
he hired me with no experience. I have always be greatful for what we have achieved.
Our son went to college and our daughter is in college. I still work full time and I just started
colllege myself. Bottom line WE DID IT ON OUR OWN !!!!!!!!

Once again, I believe Obama won the final presidential debate. The Joe the plumber thing turned me off and frankly started to be a bore with John McCain. Once would of been ok, but after hearing the same thing, well it was like McCain move on and answer the real issues.

I hated having to hear the candidates waste so much time having to answer the questions on the negative ads !!!!! Obama responded but I did not hear John McCain respond to the remarks his own wife made, about having chills going through her body because Obama did not support the war, and how it affected her son. Palin made so many negative remarks yet McCain never commented about her doing all his dirty work by using negative comments about Obama. So many comments have been made to the media that this is not the type of questions we wanted to hear on this debate. What a waste of our time. We wanted to hear about the real issues affecting our country.
I have heard questions on the economy, healthcare, education, and foreign policies, but what about other issues such as illegal immigration and so many more that have not been brought out in any of the debates.

Again, I was very dissappointed to have seen so much time wasted on that particular question about negative ads.
McCain also would benefit from Anger Management classes! He needs to be more collective and calm like Obama. I admire Obama for always being calm, smart, and not losing his cool, and answering the questions like a true President should.

boo too Obama

McCain did well in the first half hour and then there seemed to be a point when they were talking about how negative the campaigns had become on both sides that he lost his confidence. It was as if a light bulb went off and he realized it did not matter how well he did in the debate, as long as Obama did not hang himself, it was a losing effort.

Negative campaigns aside, this has been a presentential election I’ve felt secure with both top of the ticket candidates. Unfortunate for him and his party, McCain brought in a dangerously unqualified and misdirected Palin that sealed the deal against his ticket with the majority of us independant voters.

Nancy, I can see through your prejudice. Prejudice always confused the facts and truth. Why should Obama apologized for Lewis’ comments. Lewis is not part of Obama’s campaign. Is it because he is similar to Obama?

Up until the last two years Americans have been living high on the hog….there were so many low paying jobs American Businesses couldn’t fill them all…and foreigners (is that a bad word?) were the answer to fill positions Americans didn’t want .. while we’ve been at War….Those for Obama why so weary of more of the same….you haven’t suffered until the last 2 yrs since the Democrats (Obama’s Party took over)…Bush has made some bad decisions, but at least he had the fortitude to be unpopular when necessary. The last thing we need is a weak President that stands for nothing during Adverse times…More of the Same What? The Republicans know we’re in trouble if we don’t maintain our stance in the Middle East…We’re not WAR MONGERS….we don’t have a choice….Unless we chose to give up on America…Islam will dominate this planet if left unchecked….Islam will not agree to disagree…So you guys don’t want more of the same Obama is the Man for Change….

For the People that think Joe Plumber has bucks he’s in that income bracket that makes jobs ….If you don’t work for someone in a small business then chances are it’s Goverment Something ….I guess you think Obama is going to have a Gov Job you

nancy, do you have a brain?

First of all hello fellow Americans and others.

The Debate it was good

1. Us being in the red Is not on the hands of the President . Do any of you realize who sets the budget? Congress. Article 1, Section 6 &7 of the Constitution. will explain that one for you.
2. Yes we had a annual budget surplus of 500bil in 1998 however we still had a $5 trillion debt
3. Stock market will be nonsense until after Oct 23 when these fortune 500 companies realize what part of the bill they are going to have to pay. Some will fail most will be ok .
4. Obama lost my vote tonight because of the outlay of “Spread The Wealth” I’m sorry but That truly isn’t my vision of America. though it may be others.
5. Can anyone actually say that your money would be better spent by your neighbor?
6. A quote “Those who refuse to learn from the opposite perspective are led by the fool”

my 2 cents,
Morgan Hopson Independent/ OK

well. i am a republican. mccain is unconvincing and unmoving. the way he has run this campaign, in desperation and with lack of virtue will not win my vote. i was lost however, when palin was selected. and i am from alaska! for those that don’t know… they palin you see is not the palin we approve of. she is putting on a performance for the base. we don’t need performances, we need someone who can think and govern this whole country and represent us abroad. her campaigning is a farce. the mccain campaign is a farce. all it does is promote primitive patriotism and does little to bring out the best of those in this great nation.

to please his base and go on the offensive against Barack Obama while showing the rest of America that his campaign offers more than negative accusations against the Democrat in a time of economic crisis.

He Succeeded…..he knows how to attack, and he doesnt have solutions

Simon:

So if McCain’t jumps ahead in the polls you see the economy turning around? Is that what you honestly think, because that is laughable. And lets see we have a president currently who is obviously not a “public speaker”, would you prefer 4 more years of that. You vote for a president? Well then I guess you won’t be voting for McCain seeing as he has never been president.

Debbie:

Who wants to change? Lets see there are third world countries who have universal health care and yet 47 million Americans have none. Who wants change? The British pound. The Euro, and the Swiss Franc. All worth more than the all mighty US Dollar. Who wants change? We keep borrowing money from the Chinease to buy oil from the middle east. Putting us billions of dollars in debt. Who wants change? French college students go to school for free while American college students go further and further into debt. Gee sounds like there is a good deal of change needing to be made and I just skimmed the surface. Change is what makes America great. Our ability to change and criticize our government makes us one of the best nations on earth. Being able to admit we need change is truly patriotic.

I think its bad that people base their vote on how mad at bush they are.

yes…i hate the cat that we invaded iraq before catching the main threat….it would have cost just as much to go to afghanistan….which is what obama is telling us he will do….but then complains about the cost of iraq…

I dont fear obama’s socialistic tax plan as much as his healthcare…..I dont want illegal alien’s getting free healthcare. period.

They need to get rid of the paper social security cards and make anti-counterfeit cards.
Then run every single kid that registers to go to k-12 school….like e-verify for employment….this way the kid wont grow up thinking they are legal then one day get fired from their job and indicted for identity theft…this happened to a person that works for my girlfriend.

I got a great idea…..how about if you want citizenship, you have to spend 4 years in the armed forces and undergo intense language training….

McCain certainly had his best debate performance tonight…. but he looked desperate at times. We all know that John isn’t fantastic in front of the camera, but the obvious anger and nervousness he often displayed while Obama was speaking really turned me off (CNN’s almost constant split screen is the best coverage, in my opinion, as we get to see how the other holds up when they disagree). At times, McCain simply looked like a blinking, nervous-smiling goofball… at least to me. I literally laughed loudly at times just watching how poor his non verbal reactions were… it just wasn’t “presidential” to me, and makes me question his ability to hold up in tough situations. This was a debate at a college, for God’s sake… how would he handle real crisis?

FWIW, I am a registered independent (and always will be). I’ve been an honest “undecided”, but tonight’s debate certainly pushed me closer to believing Obama would be more capable of leading us through crisis. He also is much more succinct in describing HOW he will move us forward and implement change. McCain very much got schooled tonight in the areas of health care and education.

Oh my! Some of you Republicans are really “freaking out” - making up so many obvious lies, calling names, resorting to racial slurs….a total panic.

Democrats, in the face of this, please follow senator Obama’s lead and maintain your poise and self-control. Let’s not sink to the level of what we see here.

Nancy, the market is not fluctuating because “it” is afraid of Obama, as you stated - I can no longer tell if some of you really believe these ridiculous statements…or if you are making them up to try to mislead your fellow GOP members.

Fluctuations are due to those with cash who are taking advantage - Hedge. The press is not explaning the fluctuations…but those if us who play the market, or even follow it closely, know exactly what is happening. It has nothing to do with Obama. Ask a broker - they’ll explain.

Democrats, stay the course….calm….poise…..self-control.

Fear not! McCain with a little proding just may announce a “cabinet” or partial “cabinet” this week or so. Mitt,Joe and Huck for sure.

Oh my! Some of you Republicans are really “freaking out” - making up so many obvious lies, calling names, resorting to racial slurs….a total panic.

Democrats, in the face of this, please follow senator Obama’s lead and maintain your poise and self-control. Let’s not sink to the level of what we see here.

The main reason why I can’t vote for Barack Obama is due to his America hating associations (including his wife Michelle). If Obama is inclined to those America hating associations (his wife Michelle, Wright, Farrakan, Pfleger, Ayers, Dorn, Resko, Khalid Al-Mansour, its because he shares their same views. Even if he didn’t have those associations, I don’t share his stands on same sex marriage, abortion, infanticide, distribution of wealth, raising taxes, and he has never done anything for this country, has not paid his dues. Society does not owe him anything, this is not affirmative action. I’m an Air Force retiree, and I get teary and chills whenever I hear the National Anthem and when I hear Lee Greenwood sing God Bless the USA. May God help us and always bless our country and the rest of the world!

I guess when employers lay people off becauses there taxes are to high
Alaska unemployment will have to make changes and by the way physicians
don’t have to acept to insurance. Americans don’t like to wait for anything let alone being told to take a number and wait in line for medical care. Basically the Obama’s health plan is pretty much like MEDICARE which alot of doctors don’t except because it pays very little. Don’t beleive me ask someone from Canada reseach for your self why are doctors leaving Canada to practice in the U.S.. There is alot to look at. Care will be cut do to the increase of caseloads how many physicians will be able to pay for there overhead? Bottom line no MEDICAL PLANS WILL CHANGE UNLESS CONGRESS GETS THE VOTES.

Simon: Obama has said during the primary he will reduce our military and stop making weapons . Clinton reduced our military and if Bush did nothing else he built it up. Obama is a pacifist, he wants no weapons in your house or in the small military he wants to create. People like to use the “race card”, but truth is Obama is not a suitable president and Biden, oh my god! the poor guy is getting senile. He makes BIG mistakes not a small gaffe. What will happen, guess if Obama is elected China will own us. I got some black clothes. Obama wants a stimulus pkg. passed in the next couple weeks, I think it was 300Billion….we are in deep(*&_!

America is still the envy of the world. Although France and Germany hae forgotten that we have bailed them out in the past, they will need us in the future once Russia challenges the European Union.

I have travelled in Europe. I spent 2 months there last year. America has nothing to be ashamed of.

Our negative persona is mostly from negative coverage of the Iraq war which we are winning. Don’t believe every thing you hear in the media.

Obama laughed at the thought that ACORN, or a nut, would have such an effect on the election as to erode our democracy. I believe that is what Mccain said about ACORN, they would erode our democracy. That is a joke, so no wonder why Obama laughed. I even laugh at good jokes. With ACORN, a non-partisan voter registration group, the issue was because some people were paid to get people to register by how many registrations they produced. (Is it really a surprise that people were trying to get paid? However wrong it might be, is it really that big of a surprise?) The fact is that laws which suppress voters erode our democracy, and not some nut named ACORN.

Does anyone remember the Jim Crow laws of the old South. As a Texan, it is part of our history. Recently there have been laws enacted in states such as Indiana which resemble some of the Jim Crow laws of the past. Wake up, some people do not carry drivers licenses because some people do not drive. That is why so many people were trapped by Hurricane Katrina. Just because some people do not drive or have driver’s licenses does not make them unAmerican, it usually just means these people are poor. Denying people the right to vote erodes our democracy, and unfortunately in some states such as Indiana, that is happening.

By the way Debbie, i sure as hell hope we do not turn into France. Luckily Obama is not French, he is American. Just as American as you or me.

God bless, and please vote for Obama.

Linda…… it’s probably b/c they have two little girls who are in school right now. Can’t be on the trail as much as she was this summer; then ya’ll would say she is a bad mother …… so give it a rest. Find something else to fuss about except silly stuff like that. McCain already has taken the gloves off the entire week…….. where have you been?

“Uh Debbie…We need change because when you go to Europe they dont even accept the dollar”

That’s cos they use the Euro as currency. Derr.

hey debbie, even mccain is calling for change, so i think you’re just pulling a line on us. we all can see what the bushies have done to change this country in a really bad way. the change we need is the one that’ll fix all that bush has broken, starting with getting the respect of the rest of the world back.

The funniest thing to me is that everyone says he voted with bush 90-95% of the time… Obama and everyone else in the Senate vote together about 90% of the time… its called unanimous consent… the VAST majority of bills are passed that way.

Why does the media say….Obama kept his cool? He stuttered, he obviously had a nervous smile when he was listening to McCain and he was way off subject so many times. Like McCain said you really have to listen to the words. I realize though everyone is different. Some people just like the feel good talk while others like substance. I think everyone should just listen to the debate audio.

Obama, and his campaign, need to understand that ALL American’s are not stupid…nor are we blinded by his car salesman type of smooth talk. Not everyone was unaware of his agitation, red face, and skipping around the issues…being the loudest doesn’t mean your assessments are correct.
McCain is smarter, more in touch and will do a much better job. McCain will be our next President, and Sarah Palin will be our first woman president. The ACORN stealing of an election will not work

McCain/Palin…2008

FOr all of the change supporters on this link I can only say one very small thing. After your favorite Presidential nominee and the congress that is supporting him get into power you will see that all change is not necessarily good for everyone. Yes good for the folks who will be getting their Welfare check handouts, good for the people that want to appease the entire world, people who want to give everything to everyone. The problem in this is the rest of the country will be left holding the bag and after a period of time left to pick up the pieces and start all over. I am going to enjoy looking at these links in the near future and see all of the bashing that is going to be going on. The left wing groups in the country are just gushing but it won’t be long before the gushing turns to mashing.
Just remember this in the 2010 election cycle. Hillary Clinton started the parade last evening when she stated “I am so very excited to be in the Senate and have a democratic President and Congress.
Now we can get done what we want to get done.” Notice here folks no mention of what the people want done but what WE want done.
Beware for what you ask!

Linda,

First of all, the reason that McCain has not said anything else is because there is nothing else negative to say. He was stretching with the little dirt he did call himself having. Have you ever thought about that? It has nothing to do with race but everything to do with the fact that the old washed up McCain has a ton of skeletons in his closet.

As far as Michelle, it is ignorant of you to ask where a mother of two is on a daily basis. Michelle Obama is smarter than Cindy McCain (she loves the attention) and Palin (she and her husband are power hungry) put together. She is a MOTHER! Oh, but I guess you right wing people forgot that. The poor adopted child of the McCain’s is being raised by a nanny. The Palin’s children are being used as TOOLS, none of which seem to be in school these days, including the pregnant one. Don’t EVER question where a mother is, regardless of who her husband is. The family is the number one priority. When you assume, you make an ass out of yourself.

It’s so nice Obama can laugh during a time of ECONOMIC CRISIS. That’s been his main reason why he describes (not) talking about Ayers and Acorn as diversions from what the American people want to hear during these hard times. He laughs. This is great. John McCain has been concerned about the economic problems. The DEMS joke about him returning to Washington to find out what was going on, and to see if he could be of help. John McCain then was able to make it to the debate, since Obama put this above any economic crisis. The DEMS make a joke out of him making it to the depate — and they would have made a joke out of him not making it. He can’t win. Sarah Palin is chosen by John McCain for a running mate — the hound dogs are sent to Alaska, and she becomes a joke. For the ECONOMIC CRISIS being the number one issue for Americans, the DEMS seem to be laughing quite a bit (SNL, LATE NIGHT SHOWS). I want someone who is serious about our country. John McCain was putting all the facts on the table - Obama just ignored many of them, and lied about others. Please take the privilege to vote — to select the next man to run our wonderful country– SERIOUSLY. THIS IS NO JOKE!!!
