Obama Tells Veterans: ‘I Will Not Let You Down’

Withdrawing from the presidential race would be a good start.

You tell ‘em, Obama! McCain’s argument is false, any way. You don’t have to have done the job to be able to manage or lead those that do.
McCain’s going to need a lot more than JUST military to catch up with Obama’s strengths.
Obama ’08!

Barak Obama opposed military construction for new bases in the u.s
The dems last year blackmailed our soldiers. They said if the republicans didn’t allow a hate crime bill against gays they would block funding for construction of bases in the u.s.
Nancy Boyda voted against new funding for a base in kansas. Obama supported blocking funding for these new bases.
These were soldiers who just came back from iraq and the dems were against them sleeping in a better facility.
The dems are against the troops.

Obama is for the DC gun ban. Obama called the DC gun ban constitutional then in the debate said he hadn’t seen the specifics. Our nation is about to elect a marxist.

David: The ban is constitutional…..get over it!

Obama is against allowing construction of barriers on the border. Obama wants to stop construction of barriers on the border. McCain is for allowing construction to continue.

david: He was picked the most liberal senator by one of the most conservative magazines in the country…..gosh your naive!

To Ted:
Jim Webb’s bill doesn’t allow benefits of soldiers who are killed in action to be transferred to other family members.
McCain wants the benefits of soldiers who are killed in action to be able to be transferred to other family members.
Jim Webb’s bill is flawed those benefits should be able to be transferred. McCain wants them transferred.

Veterans all over the country were speaking out today on how bad Obama would be for the U.S.A. It’s time that people stand up for what is right!

david: Funny…..Mccain is so concerned about this issue that he couldn’t seem to tear himself away from a fundraiser in CA to talk about it in the senate….

Vote for Obama for more affirmative action.
Vote for Obama so he can use the justice department to go after whites in a racist way. Obama thinks the blacks in the jena 6 case were saints and the whites were all bad.
Obama would have the most racist justice department in the history of our country.

david: I think your last claim went to the current administration……I get that you hate Obama, but do you really think your going to sway anyone on here to change their votes?

Obama called small town america racists. He said they wouldn’t vote for him because the way he looked.
Yeah lets vote Obama so everyone will have to watch every word because everything is about him. Hillary’s comments were about him, bush’s comments were about him.
Obama camp biggest whiners in the history of politics.
Obama and his side kick Keith Olbermann are a disgrace.

Nine more super delegates this weekend. Congratulations Barack! OBAMA 08.

Obama is a liar. He will not win in November, Hillary should be the nominee. if it aint Hillary I’m voting McCain. This liar Obama cant even win the states you need to win the general election. Sad that the DNC is trying to shove this liar down our throats. As soon as Pelosi and Howard Dean are gone the DNC will be better off. Hillary dont give up, and if you need too run as an independent. You will have my vote.

A: I have no clue what your talking about but if you look at the records,in the last two years, mccain was the least present senator in the country…..meaning he hardly ever showed up for anything.

Wait till Obama get in and then the people will find out that thier health care insurance is more expensive than it was before.

John McCain is a hero and the age discrimination card has been played.

McCain doesn’t want the troops to get the kind of benefits that WWII veterans got. This new GI bill would allow such a thing.
For Shame…

the obama supporters came on to tell us Hillary supporters we cant vote mcCain, because of roe vs wade hmmm let me think McCain yes is pro-life BUT obama is FOR partialbirth abortion, he is pro-abortion to the point of infanticide!!! im sure they will be back with something else, as soon as thier master tells them what to use, racism,name calling, low-class,uneducated,ect. obama runs a hate campaign. pur and simple.

It’s about time that OBAMA realizes that he is in a fight for his politic future. He can gain enough votes and soon the rest of the Super Delegates along with most of the ones who committed to him already will jump ship to get behind Hillary. His supporters are not needed to win the Presidency but for him to win he MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS HER SUPPORTERS WHICH HE WILL NOT GET. HILLARY 08

calling a woman sweety is sexist. flipping a woman off and then laughing about is disrespectful as well as disgusting. protecting your wifes ability to speak harshly while attacking another woman’s ability is a double standard. kinda get the feeling that obama doesnt like white women. OMG! didnt he say that very thing in one of his books? or at least something like that? it was in reference to his mom?

Obama this, Obama that, etc. The Obama haters. Go ahead with McCain that voted against Bush tax cut and now all over for the tax. McCain wants wide-open borders. McCain is against veterans benefits… if they vets can sign up to fight, while not give them all they deserve? Why is the Republicans afraid of educating the vets? The reason is because they will loose their support base once you’re educated because you will no longer fall their craps or lies that typical civil rights insurgents in the mid-west buy into. Educated minds are smarter, hence McCain and Sen. Linday of South Carolina and other Republicans do not want the vets to go to college or university. Shame on them!

David:
While I won’t even approach your other neo-conservative comments, Icouldn’t allow one to go unanswered.
Veterans benefits are called that for a reason. They are benefits for veterans. Not life insurance. No GI Bill in the past has been transferable, so why should this one? Like Hillary courting Guam and PR voting rights, McCain put this unpassable provision in to look good, not to be serious!
McCain’s record on supporting funds for vets is spotty, at best. He usually goes for the cheap one when there are two choices, and that’s the case here.
McCain is proving his conservativism by continuing to echo Bush/Cheney failed politics.
Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!!

I challenge ALL Hillary supporters to either vote for Hillary is she runs and an Independent, or write her name in, or vote for McCain. Hillary supporters have the power to keep Obama from winning the GE and we need to stop him. I hope ALL Hillary supporters will unite now, to keep Obama out of the White House IF he wins the nomination!

Veterans, at least those who have served in combat, who have chosen active duty or the reserves at great personal sacrifice, are not to be confused with the AARP. We begin by supporting ‘Vets’ before they are no longer on active duty. We support them, as a democracy with a change of policy forever in the wind, by not sending them into battle as a divided nation. We do not send them into battle then applaud as one party champions their defeat for the sole purpose of regaining the upper hand in the next election. When we do this, our wars drag on. Our enemies know that united, we cannot be defeated. They also know that when we are divided, they just mark time. Had this nation been united in purpose and resolve as we sent our troops into harms way five years ago, the outcome would have been decided long ago.

Obama 08!!!!
Woohoo

Let’s see, would I vote for a man that was a prisoner of war for 5 years, is an expert in foreign affairs, or would I vote for a man that is a closet Muslim, that wants to destroy America and could care less about our armed services? That’s it, I’m voting for McCain ! NoBama 08!

davidfromtexas: Thank goodness there are smarter people out there than you…..

Obama has already let America’s military veterans down by sharing the anti-American views of Jeremiah Wright for the last 20 years.
Does Obama really think that America’s military veterans don’t already know that he shares Jeremiah Wright’s radical views, and that he just saying whatever he thinks will get him elected.
Obama, you’re smooth, but you are not that smooth.
Your actions for the last 20 years speak much louder than your insincere words!!!

@ david from texas:
I’ve already determined that if Hillary doesn’t receive the nod, I’m voting McCain. If she runs as an Indy (which I doubt she will), I’ll certainly vote Independent.
The one irrefutable fact during this primary race has been that those of us who actually have done homework on the candidates, who have the wisdom to grasp the vast experiential differences between them, and who realize what a machinated mockery this latte process has been, will never vote for an Obama Drama. I’d vote for the dog catcher first.

I fully understand why the soldiers would want the increased benefits. I don’t fault the soliders at all for wanting at least 3 years of college paid for–they should get at least four years paid for plus the best healthcare money can buy.
What I don’t understand is why a potential president–who readily acknowledges the war in Afghanistan will continue and who has pledged to send troops to Darfur–would want to reduce the size of the military while we are at war? How does supporting this bill benefit him–if he is elected commander in chief–after November?

Emily: When gas prices are at $8.00 a gallon and we are at war with Iran, you will be wondering, why? A little voice in your head will tell you that it’s because you voted for mccain.

Hillary Supporters:
NEVER VOTE OBAMA!
There are over 17 Million of us. Obama can’t win without our support.
Hillary or McCain ’08

How the heck can somebody who doesn’t even salute the American flag do anything but, let the soldiers down. You can’t defend them and their rights if you don’t respect why they’re their. For whatever reasons. No, I’m not in support of the war but, to hope for something better from someone who has no respect for their own country that’s like shooting yourself in the foot.

If anyone is buying what Obama is selling they really and truly need to check what their agenda is. I went to a picnic in Middleton Ohio Sunday…our topic was “African Americans against Obama” from what I gathered 4,500 showed up periodically throughout the day. These were those AGAINST OBAMA!!!

There are some of us that will not be voting there are a numerous amount that will vote for McCain…and there are those of us that will be Libertarian this year.

Looks like Hillary has called her wolves out to spam news groups! LOL
Sore Losers! Get a life!

Says Alice in Wonderland!
Vote for Obama its the right thing to do!
YES WE CAN!!

He sure did let us down in Illinois. He has been the worst do-nothing senator since we elected him.
Last year when BP wanted to dump more solvents from their refinery in Indiana into Lake Michigan Obama was not there to vote. In fact, he barely voted at all except for “present.”
What did he do in the three years since he’s been elected: write a book, visit and tour Africa his homeland (on the taxpayers dime) and run for president.
He has ill-served Illinois and I expect hhe will ill-serve America. What does he have to run on?

Has anyone noticed you hear a lot about the “white working class” vote and that
you never hear the term
“black working class” it doesn’t exist in our language. I wonder why?

Obama is like the rest of the afro-americans in this country believing American owes them something.
Barack Obama has done very little public service yet I believe he and wife really believe America owes him the top job in the world the Presidency of the United States. What has he really even done to be considered?

“Confirmation bias refers to a type of selective thinking whereby one tends to notice and to look for what confirms one’s beliefs, and to ignore, not look for, or undervalue the relevance of what contradicts one’s beliefs.”
“This tendency to give more attention and weight to data that support our beliefs than we do to contrary data is especially pernicious when our beliefs are little more than prejudices. If our beliefs are firmly established on solid evidence and valid confirmatory experiments, the tendency to give more attention and weight to data that fit with our beliefs should not lead us astray as a rule. Of course, if we become blinded to evidence truly refuting a favored hypothesis, we have crossed the line from reasonableness to closed-mindedness.”

CuteNSmart,
Yes. Hillary supporters are just too blind to look at all the facts about how corrupt the Clintons really are!

Obama supporters are just can’t see that Obama’s actions for the past 20 years speak much louder than his recent insincere words.
The truth is Obama shares Jeremiah Wright’s radical left-wing views.

I must admit this is one of the more intelligent boards with a bit of humor too.

Emily – Go ahead and vote for McCain. I know, I’m using one of those mean Obama supporter attacks.
By the way, did you know that McCain voted against equal pay for women?

CutenSmart……….I’m African American have been for 52 years….I wouldn’t vote for Obama if it saved your life…That racists crap we’re tired of that too. We know there’s racism and we don’t need Obama to come throw his two cents in. Just because people don’t support Obama doesn’t mean their racist. But, didn’t your illustrious leader call us a racist in his “Speech of all Speeches” heck so it shouldn’t be anything new…

If you saw me going to a Catholic Church every week for 20 years, would it be reasonable to think I was Catholic? If I took my children there, would it be reasonable to think I wanted them to learn the Catholic value system?
Would you be quick to believe me if I told you that I was actually a Muslim but was attending the Catholic Church because of the wonderful things that Catholic Charities does? Would you be quick to believe me if I told you that I didn’t think my children would learn Catholic values by attending the Catholic church?
I don’t think Obama is “obviously” dedicated to America when so many people have doubts about his commitment to this country. His statements, alone, are not enough to “clearly” prove his patriotism — his own pastor said he would say whatever was politically convenient to win this election. Why should we have to “assume” that Obama “loves his country”? Shouldn’t he have to prove he is fit for office?

I spoke to someone today at the DNC. She told me they have been receiving thousand of calls, emails and letter to count the votes in MI and FL and the votes will indeed be counted.
Howard Dean’s strategy has always been a 50-state strategy so he has no other choice. The game will change next week no doubt.

Ready9999………..Obama was the first one to say quote “this campaign isn’t going to be about race.” And then those is cronies the first thing you say is RACE….make your mind up! He can’t have it both ways….and that 90% of African American vote that you speak about means NOTHING… Just like Al Sharpton tried to tell us black people you’re only 25% of the total population….less than 10% vote… so, us not voting means what…LOL

Ready999……and I could careless if you supported Obama or not that’s your RIGHT as an Amreican remember that. It’s also my right not too…

What a hypocrit, Obama! You just talk, but whenever comes to action, you do whatever contrary to your words. When you have every right to vote for veteran’s benefits, why did you vote against it? Now you say to them you’ll never let them down. What a lier! You’ll never be elected.

Chicago is a racially divided city? How so? Poor black areas are separate from poor white areas? Rich black areas are seperate from rich white areas? What attempts have been made to unify the city? Are there any community organizations or grassroots programs trying to fix the issue? I ask because I’ve lived in rural areas where the race and economic divide are clear but I’ve also lived in urban areas where the divide was almost entirely economic rather than racial.

To all those that say McCain is against giving our Veterans an education, you shoud go to the VA website and educate yourself. There are multiple educational opportunities provided by the VA. What McCain and most of the senior military officials are objecting to is giving a full ride 4 year scholarship to a veteran after only 3 years of service. They support a more reasonable approach of adding additional educational benefits with more active duty time. This is in the interest of maitaining a trained military force for a longer period of time. A 2 year full ride for a AS degree is reasonable for 3 years of active service. This is what was offered during the Vietnam war and pretty much ever since. A full ride 4 year degree is a lot for only 3 years service. Remember that this will have lasting implications to the US military budget for generations to come, and what may seem reasonable during time of conflict may seem very exhorbitant in peace time. Think beyond Iraq.

The only person who isn’t going to win the general election is Hillary Clinton. Why? Because she won’t be on the ballot!

Great move Obama, a very different and wise approach compared to WBush and McCain. Different visionary leadership.

Hillary has used her “supporters” to try to divide and damage the Democratic party. She knows she Can’t Win so she has to get enough people to stay home so McCain can win. Her plan is to try to run in 2012 and she will sacrifice her own party with the assistance of a few clueless supporters. I feel sorry for the Hillary people who are being duped.

@ mgck59 and david from texas:
Let me ask you a serious question. If we write-in Hillary’s name, or vote another third-party candidate, won’t those votes help Obama? Consider that the more votes are diverted from McCain, the more Obama benefits. I’m just not sure about this…
What do you think?

At Emily:
If we write in Hillary’s name, she gets those votes. McCain will continue to get the GOP votes and most of the Independents. Whether we write her name in or vote McCain, it takes the votes away from Obama…..remember, the electoral votes win the GE……electoral vote is allocated by state, winner takes all. The candidate that gets the most votes in that state, wins the electoral votes for that state. By not voting for Obama, i.e. writing in Hillarys name, this gives McCain the most votes in the state. If we vote for McCain, he still wins. Its a win win situation for Hilalry supporters in that WE have the power to keep Obama out! This is what the MSM is worried about…..Obama split the Dems this year with the race card and now we will not be toghether by the time November rolls around. Obama,if he is the nominee, will lose! If Hillary is the nominee, she will beat McCain. Obama is behind 9 pts right now following McCain according to CNN. And, if you notice, the MSM is beginning to turn on Obama! And, the GOP hasn’t even started hitting him with ALL the artillery they have against him and his ugly wife Michelle. There’s NOTHING these Obama supporters can do at this point but sit back and watch their BOY, Obama, lose!

Jimmy Carter’s claim to fame is “stagflation” and gasoline shortages. Joe Biden didn’t have enough support amongst democrats to get his campaign off the ground so his endorsement won’t carry much weight, either. Edward Kennedy is from the most liberal state in the Union–while we like him as a person–most people outside his state don’t completely agree with his political views.
Obama is going to lose a lot of democrats on the issues. For example, not every democrat is pro-choice. The so-called Blue Dog democrats run and win on a pro-life platform. Many democrats who are pro-choice believe abortions should be available to protect the health of the mother–including her mental health–but not for any and every purpose. Far less democrats support refusing medical care to newborns who survive the abortion procedure. Pro-life democrats may be willing to move to the middle but not to the left. Plus, you can count on groups like African-Americans Against Abortion to point out that more black children are murdered each month in abortion clinics than soldiers have died since the war in Iraq begin.
Obama may very well be a good person–but that doesn’t mean he will make a good President.

Can’t happen. The debt load on existing programs and commitments makes Obama’s statements e,pty promises. Fact is… He knows it.

you know what i think? i think there is actually more ARGUING about whether or not racism is actually that big of a problem, than actual racism in this country. just my opinion. get over it people. quit trying to make more drama than there really is. the arguing may actually sneak up on us and actually CREATE more racism. people in these blogs think they know EXACTLY what everyone else is thinking. knock it off.

Emily – Don’t listen to them. Trying to write her name in would be a complete waste of your time and energy, especially if you vote by machine. Just accept that she failed and vote for the next canididate who most closely shares her policy positions. I think you know who that is. Not McCain. Do the bright thing.

Al Gore won the popular votes, but lost the electorate… Hillary is trying to win popular vote on shoddy way, but nomination is about delegates. When Blacks voted for Bill Clinton that is okay, now it is turn for Hillary Whites to vote for Obama. Her lost is a clear picture she will lost big in most states except CA, WV, KY and can not win FL and MI from McCain…facts stands.
Clintonites hate Obama because he is black and not because he is who God made him to be. May God forgive your sins!

Bob,
Do I think the average person attending church knows “all” the tenets of their denomination? No
Do I think the average person attending church knows the main tenets of their faith? Yes
I can’t imagine a Catholic not knowing the Church believes life begins at conception or a Baptist not knowing the importance of submersion.
Do I think an intelligent person can tell the difference between one Christian theology and another? Yes
Do I think a Baptist could tell something was different if he walked across the street from a Southern Baptist Church to a Freewill Independent Baptist Church? Yes
Do I think Obama–who said he liked his church for its community outreach program–was aware of the church’s theology? Yes
If he didn’t, I would be even more worried about him as a candidate.
If he didn’t attend the church to hear Reverend Wright and to receive spiritual guidance, then why did he attend the church? political expediency, maybe?
If he doesn’t believe in what Reverend Wright preaches, what does he believe in? ??? If he doesn’t believe in the tenets of his church, what does he believe in? ???
His claim that he is a Christian and not a Muslim is based in part on his membership in Reverend Wright’s church–if you say he doesn’t share his pastor’s views then you are saying he isn’t the same kind of Christian as Reverend Wright is. Okay, so what kind of Christian is he?
I don’t have the answers to these questions. I don’t know what Obama believes. But I do know these are legitimate concerns that should be addressed rather than being dismissed as distractions. I am not going to condemn the millions of people out there who want an explanation as ignorant or uninformed.
Obama said it was a legitimate issue so address it like it is. Hillary manages to go to church every Sunday morning–when are we going to see Obama start doing the same? Or will that be like the flag pin–a little too much a little too late?

Oh Hillary MAY NOT win the nomination and like I said earlier Obama did the job he was PAID to do Block Hillary…He knew especially after it came out about his questionable past that he isn’t going to be president, he’s not even good president material can you image when Wright (because they will make up), and Farrakhan get through going through the White House what that will be like.. Please America is not that stupid regardless of what your illustrious leader has taught you. He was put in place for a reason he is serving that reason out.

David, what do you mean he refused to enlist. Was he asked by the military to sign up and he said no. You are not making sense. And who cares anyway.

@ Bob:
I hardly think you, given your choice of candidate, are in any position to lecture me about judgment. Whether or not Bill Clinton is slutty or not isn’t remotely germane to Hillary’s ability to serve as president.
As for Obama’s judgment, one need only look at his choice of friends and relatives… Not to mention his politically expedient voting records, and his machinated political ascendancy.

David you didn’t answer the question. Did the military ask Obama to enlist and he refused. You seem to be ranting about this so explain it.

david from texas…
im a conservative, and i have to say your annoying me with your comments. where did you get that info about obama refusing to join the military?! dont come in here and do that if you cant back it up.

David, he’s not my “boy”. And please provide the link to that story. You do know where I can read this info, right.

tim…….that is another issue I have with Obama what would we possibly get done. Obama would have so much nonsense going on in the White House and anytime someone would not agree with him he would cry racisim…He would have Black Senators backing him in fear of losing their jobs, and white Senators backing him in fear of being called racist. America has enough on it’s plate we don’t need to add anyone.

@ Bob: Many intelligent folks are supporting Hillary as well, which was my primary point.
Notwithstanding who has the smartest kids on their team, a lot of pol’s swing support for political expediency, to bolster their own campaigns, or to win favors. Furthermore, more often than not, legislators throw their support behind one candidate to block the rise of another. Believe it- it’s true. They play power games, by supporting the candidate they think can either help them, or who they think they can effectively manipulate. It’s not all about who they think is the smartest or the best for our country per se. It’s about who they think is best suited for THEIR purposes.

Emily…..very good post!

Bob……I don’t know who told you Obama was bringing the races together…that could be more of that media propaganda pays to have spread through the media. He is not uniting the races. And as an African American you would be surprised how many of us ARE NOT voting for Obama. He makes up a whole lot of media garbage for people like you.

David what is the prob if AA are voting for Obama. Look how long they have supported a white canidate. They are proud of Obama and rightly should be. And some women are voting for Hillary purely because she is a woman.

How can anyone enjoy their benefits when they are all messed up? Disable,Dead.
mentally ill? Coming back home?
when you say ‘I will not let you down’,
calls for what kind of Benefits?
You need to help with the benefits now before they come home,before you become President.Buddy.
There are some things the candidates need to do RIGHT NOW!!!! To save lives
so they can enjoy their Benefits!!!
you need to Do IT RIGHT VOW!!!!
Peace
Loretta sue

It’s a matter of opinion who played the race card.

@ Bob: C’mon, stop with the Clinton supporters are all uneducated blather- Yawn. You know that’s patently untrue.
I said this before about the race issue, but apparently, you weren’t listening…
Sexism, racism, agism are all ridiculous in the context of the strength and character of a candidate. Do I believe sexism has played a role in this primary contest? Yes I do. I also believe race has played a role, and that agism has also been an issue. Still, biological characteristics should NOT be a reason to, or not to, vote for a candidate.

Can you just imagine the kind of judges Obama would appoint?
The thought should make everyone shudder.

Bea…….writing in Hillary is not wise. Each state has it’s own personal laws on write ins. In most states it would go to Obama because that is the affiliated party Hillary is with. The smart thing to do everyone is vote for someone else, or not at all. Don’t write Hillary in just to be safe.

I agree with Obama for once…
When asked in 2004 if he’d run for president in 2008 he said no way, that he wouldn’t be ready or have enough experience.
Yes, Obama, on that one occasion you were right.

To all those idiots who want Hillary to run as an Independent…….It’s too late.
She cannot get her name on the ballot at this late stage of the game… and yes to her it is a game… She lists all the reasons that she is still in the race….
All the reasons that only she believes.
Just because you wish it doesn’t mean it is so.

Ryan
I challenge you to tell us McCains policies. And while you are at it tell how long he has had these views and how many times he has changed.

MGK – “This is the first time in my 52 years that I have had to prove my color to so many people.” You do not have to prove your color to anyone. This is their insanity. This is their racisim. This is what they do. My spouse is also white. Our kids are pink, and Real Warriors. We also have 2 gray feral cats, a white and very deaf female Siamese, and a 16-year old black Siamese who is affectionately known as “Mikey Gump”. Who cares? Those of us who will not vote for the race card. Just be people. And you are a great one. Sincerely.

skyebeader…….thank you. I think all of us that aren’t being lured into the rubbish are very smart, and intuitive people. We know something isn’t right you can feel it.

McCain cannot be my president but he can greet at my Walmart any day.

Obama’s supporters “highly educated”? look at the demographics of Obama’s supporters. Hardly “highly educated”.

Every 4 years democrats lose the elections.
Does any of you ask a very simple
question: WHY???????????????
Here is the answer:
Because they nominate the most ultra left wing UN-ELECTABLE liberal.
This year is no different.I think is
worst because the candidate is black.
The party is in big trouble already.
UNITY????????? NO WAY………

Vote for Obama for more affirmative action.
Vote for Obama so he can use the justice department to go after whites in a racist way. Obama thinks the blacks in the jena 6 case were saints and the whites were all bad.
Obama would have the most racist justice department in the history of our country.
Posted by: david | May 26, 2008 6:30:30 PM
Another racist post with no validity. However, since you want to play the race card, An argument could be made that you should vote like African Americans since they overwhelmingly rejected bush in both elections. Therefore, you cannot blame them for putting bush in office to ruin this country. So perhaps they should be followed this time.

LG I think Condolezza Rice helped bush in ruining this country big time.

I know this is a private club but here goes anyway…again…
McCain frets that aiding our veterans will reduce enlistments….it’s good to know that honorable, reasonable people – like Senators Obama and Webb – are working to give back a measure of what our vets have given to us.

or maybe its the childish way he is handling some one nearly 30 years his junior.
Obama cant speak out about him giving the veterans the shaft because obama didn’t serve in the military … how childish is that crap
How he tries to be Reagan with his “my friends” and using the age jokes. Some one should McCain that Reagan had something called CLASS. McCaveman has none.

Obama helped millionaires ripped off the state of Illinois pension system, Veterans do need his kind of help Nor did he reveal that employees of the firms he helped have since contributed to or helped to raise more than $765,000 for his campaigns, according to campaign documents. Nor did he mention that two of the firms have allowed him to use their private jets. Nor did he mention that two of the firms have since been dismissed by the state pension fund for “underperformance.”

Obama is unelectable. DNC must realize this and nominate Senator Clinton.

But seriously, can any Obama backer give me a good reason to vote for him. And no, saying he’s going to “Change” things is not a valid reason. Every politician in history has said that. I’m waiting.
McCain ’08
Republicans have ruined this country with unconstitional behavior, war, crushing debt, karl rove’s politically motivated firing of U.S. attorneys, politically motivated prosecution of the democratic govenor of alabama, high fuel and food prices, the mishandling of hurricane katrina. I could go on but I’m sure you see the point.
Posted by: Ryan | May 27, 2008 12:08:50 AM

Wow, OMENTUM. You never answered my question to begin with. If you think you did then you are dumber than I think you are. I already think your IQ is about 85-90. If you can explain ONE of your bigot’s policies I will give in. But, you can’t. He has none. And yes, McCain can say Obama has no room to talk. The man served 5 years in a POW camp. You couldn’t serve 5 hours. Obama couldn’t serve 5 days. If you can’t answer the question I asked you over an hour ago shut up.

McCain is lavish with other people’s sacrifices…..reckless in pouring billions of US treasure into Iraq but remains pathetically cheap when it comes to helping people at home. We owe the vets that have served this country with honor. Doing anything less is scurrilous.

A single reason to vote for Obama? He knows what America wants and will work to help us achieve it. Peace, prosperity and justice. While honoring and protecting out precious Constitution from all enemies…foreign and domestic.

McCain is a war hero that has lost his friggin mind in the senate. Some call him maverick.. I call him a flipflopper.
Veterans see how much McCain cares about them bettering themselves with education. Obama is on the right side of this issue.

And how did I become a bigot? And where did you get the idea of somebody with a low IQ. And obviously I must be old because I like MCCain. No, I like McCain because his opponent has NO policies on anything, PERIOD!

Skyebeader, God bless your boys. These liberals have no answers to anything. don’t waste your time with them.

I can’t believe that John McCain has no problem spending 600 billion dollars over the last 6 years for the Iraq war, but does not support a new GI bill to help the troops that fought the war even though it would only cost 52 billion over 10 years. A small fraction of the cost of the Iraq war… which was unnecessary anyway…

Skyebeader,
Do you want us to believe McCain would bring the troops home before Obama? Honest answer please.

“Typical response from someone devoid of facts”. So, just answer the original questions, you’ll prove your manhood – or not. meow

only Senator Clinton will be the best Commander-in-Chief that our troops desperately need right now

Support the troops—-bring them home!!!
Contrary to popular opinion, a huge percentage that are serving in Iraq are extremely unhappy with this unnecessary war. McCain may be an old soldier–but that doesn’t make him an intelligent one.

wow….I can’t believe how brainwashed Republicans can be. I realize a conservative is not a Republican anymore, so I an mot referencing conservatives. The people at the top decide who will be their candidate and all the little people fall in line. Romney drops out after the first day of voting. McCain was decided in a backroom long before the primaries were over. Then they spread their lies about Obama , and as one can see by reading the post here some of the lies conflict with each other. It is funny. I am saving all my swamp land for those voting for McCain

Obama will be a total disater as Commander in Chief but more so as President. I can’t believe any person with any brains what so ever would ever vote for Obama. I can see why an idiot woud but not anyone with any kind of brain power. As a retired Marine Officer we don’t need any coward as President.

Haven’t heard anything about a formal anti-Obama movement but over the Memorial weekend at a family graduation, only one Obama supporter, everyone else (dems or independents) voting for McCain. All with the same concensus – he can make a good speech, but then, again, so did a couple of the seniors at the graduation. He is not ready to lead this country. Can we start this nomination process over? Biden? Dodd? Richardson?

>…(Obama) began: “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.” Memorial Day honors those who have died in our nation’s military service. Is it possible that Obama does not know this?….
OBAMA The HUMAN GAFFE MACHINE does it again. This is what happens when you are merely reading a prepared speech.

Obama can’t answer 8 questions without cracking up. All he wants to do is make soldiers go to college to get brainwashed by the liberal elites. GI Bill my foot, all he wants to do is pump more tax money to his egghead college professor voters.

Is it Memorial Day or Halloween?…
The gaffe master is now seeing dead people in his audience.
And, the Barack Obama Campaign actually posted video of this latest Obama gaffe on YTube.
This time Barack Obama is seeing America’s fallen heroes in his audience in New Mexico:
(First 10 seconds)
Spooky!
Barack Obama opens up his Memorial Day speech in Las Cruces, New Mexico:
“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”
Let’s hope that he didn’t see any fallen heroes in the audience!
Add, this to the growing list of Obama gaffes.
Although the video is posted on YTube the gaffe was scrubbed from his website.

Just one more example of why this man can’t be the President of the United States-Memorial Day is to honor those who have died in service to their country. This is getting scary…First it was Bushisms and now OBAMAISMS!!!

obama deserves a chance.He was not president while visiting a foreign country. you had already decided you needed a mccain for president. we do need change in our own homeland.war is not a solution for everything. how do we fix our economy? health issues,jobs, inflation,foreclosures,job closures? everything is not about foreign affairs. why do we feel the need to solve problems abroad when we can’t fix our own hurting situations in our country. obama should be on vacation. he isn’t the president yet. he should not be making statements about Russia and Georgia. be fair give change a chance. mccain speaks from both sides a true flip-flopper.
