McCain Camp Pounces on Obama Comments From ABC News Interview

imo John McCain needs a new Foreign Policy Advisor. I agree with Obama.

Barack seems confused by the facts. I wonder who is advising him on this? They need to be fired!

“He who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security.” -Benjamin Franklin

I find McCain’s mind set Troubling. Takes us back to the failed policicies of the past? What of the present?

Pouncing on your opponent for supporting the rule of law is a very interesting tactic for McCain to be taking. Will there be a McCain press release scolding Obama for saying that bunny rabbits should not be kicked around the lawn?
McCain and the anti-constitutional wing of the GOP are making themselves increasingly irrelevant.

wait a second: so the leftists and obama backers are talking about respect for the constitution?! wow, if that isnt ironic…

tim: if they turn left hard enough eventually they turn right.

re: jane’s comment; ‘How quick McCain is to just throw the Constitution in the dumpster’.
jane it seems mccain is not the only one tossing the constitution in the dumpster. remember 1 person 1 vote also in the constitution (no where does it say 1/2 vote at our convenience.) remember state rights also in the constitution. and also in the dumpster.

sonia: thanks – i’m here mostly for fun and games – i know you can take a joke.

sonia trevino……..What ELECTION did half he votes get thrown away. Other than the 2000 election when the republicans stole that one. The democrats had a PRIMARY to select a candidate to compete for the election. You do know the difference, don’t you? The Constitution has nothing to do with a political party picking it’s candidate.

Does anyone else see the irony of McCain taking about failed policies. Get a grip, McBush. I think your losing your bearings again.

“My friends, my opponent in young and naive and doesn’t understand that he doesn’t know what he is talking about. On the other hand, I am old and crusty and know for certain that I don’t know what I’m talking about. So you should vote for me because you know where I stand.”

1percenter no offense taken. i have grown rather fond of your insults. battered hillary supporter syndrome i think they call it lol. nothing can hurt me now, after this primary season.

tim….does being a prisoner of war 40 years ago the only quality needed to be president?

Obama is going to lose in the biggest landslide in the history of the country. WORD UP

JR
word up???????? You time capsule back to the 80′s awaits.

I support McCain.
Obama has No experience or qualifications to be the President of the United States of America.
plain & simple

I DONT THINK OBAMA WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MCBUSH FLIPFLOP by november he will have a problem remembering his name—want to confuse the hell out of him–keep saying that is not what he said yesterday.

omentum…
are you serious on this one?! bush was president for how long before september 11th?! not even a year?! do you realize how many times the clinton adminitration was warned about osama bin laden in general?! have you ever done any research at all on this? you are absolutely right that we were asleep at the wheel. but it wasnt during this administration. you do remember all the terrorist attacks on our embassies and interests in the 90′s right? and you do remember what clinton did about these attacks and threats right? NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. i cant even believe you said what you said. believe me, im NOT ahuge george bush fan. but cmon. were you not alive in the 90′s??? thats when all of the terrorism became really prevalent, and a serious threat. and we did nothing.

Hey more Rezko trouble. The media and Obama is going to put a spin on that it was Clintons fault and they are racist. Wait a minute they now have to spin it that McCain caused it somehow

Obama is in real TROUBLE. He hardly got any after nomination bump, and new gallop poll have it back to a dead heat.
JUST WAIT UNTIL ALL THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS ABANDON SHIP, WHEN OBAMA SNUBS HER AS V.P.
Only the democrats could lose in such an overwhelming atmosphere.

rodney…
well, bit of a stretch there on that one.. lol but i do see your point.

No I don’t sonia. What’s your drift? It isn’t that old crap about since Hillary didn’t get it, I’m gonna hold my breath until she does, is it?

wow. The Obamaniacs are something. I am 52, and will appreciate when you young workers are paying 60% taxes to support all of these new entitlements. Right now there are 5 working Americans supporting every retired person on Medicare and Social Security. In ten years there will be 3 working Americans for us retired folks(40% increase). Throw in free health care, tax cuts, increase in salaries for teachers and the military, and who knows, OBama may leave enough for you to have a two room apartment and two meals of rice and beans. There has to be a few of you young Obamaniacs that were business majors and studied basic Economics. I will think of you youngsters from my boat in Florida. And oh yeah, us oldsters will greatly outnumber you so don’t think of taking away these entitlements once they are in place. Thanks so much for my easy living future> Antonio

Barack Obama is a racist, plain & simple. He has all sorts of radicals coming out of the woodwork.
I will NEVER support Obama even if Hillary is his V.P. candidate.
If elected, he will set race relations back 50 years.

getreal
as middle class i wont hold my breath waiting for anything good for us—the poor get more welfare and the rich get richer –and we pay the bill for all

omentum..
well, first off they ALWAYS do that. lol i mean, cmon they are politicians for god’s sakes. but you made the comment that bush could have prevented 9/11. that he was “asleep at the wheel”. i was simply making the point that the previous administration knew the threat waaaaaayy before they were at flying schools here… lol. you can blame bush for alot of things, but on preventing 9/11 you really cant. people seem to forget that we had terrorist attacks before 9/11. not until it was on our soil, did it become a “necessary fight”. which is sad. but all throughout the 90′s we were warned. do the research.

stupid statements deserve stupid replies jr.

and again, not only were we warned during the 90′s, we were attacked. numerous times. cant make that clear enough.

habius corpus means nothing i guess mr mccain lol

It has been Senator Obama and his supporters that has turned the constitution aside. Remember, one voter, one vote and and all votes count. He is just trying to stir up controversy when it is not necessary.
I rather be safe than sorry.

Mary, if you want to blame someone for the Florida/Michigan primary fiasco, blame Howard Dean. He made the rules.

I wish they would bring back the draft so some of the knuckleheads on this post could learn a little about what it takes to have and respect freedom.

ok, so this is a good time to make an obvious talking point. and this really breaks down ALOT of the problems we have today: BIG GOVERNMENT ONLY CREATES MORE PROBLEMS. now im not saying this in favor of either one of these jokers we have ended up with to vote for. i m saying this to help remind people on the big picture. big government ALWAYS creates more problems. we need to remember this when we go to vote for our president and congeressmen.

Mary: Why don’t you give the constitution another read and tell me what it says about how primaries should be run and get back to me on it.

tim
Point taken… I realize politician will do what they do. What I am trying to point out is that the terrorist who stuck on 911 COULD HAVE been stopped with the intelligence when currently had. Adding uninhibited phone taps is overkill and opens up pandora’s box to give the government the access to invade other areas of american’s privacy. Obama is not ruling out certain usage of phone taps. I think that is the smart way to go. McCain felt the same way until he flipflopped.

tim, the democrats have had a 1 vote majority for less than two years. Without a 2/3′s veto proof majority, nothing can be passed without republican help and that’s why nothing has happened. The republicans have stopped any and all progress.

omentum…
i am glad we agree on this.. lol believe me, i want smaller government. i dont believe we have to abuse our personal freedoms in order to protect the nation. sort of… lol heres my point: every administration in recent history breaks the rules. and for every one thing we hear about, theres probably 20 that we never hear about. thats where we have to read between the lines a bit. because as much as i hate to say it, im sure the breaking of the rules has helped keep us safe and on top of the world. thats why i believe there is a very fine line when it comes to national security.

1percenter…
thats exactly it. and either the dems dont see this happening or they just enjoy dirty politics. THE DEMS IN CONGRESS HAVENT BEEN TRYING TO GIVE REAL ANSWERS OR SOLUTIONS!!! they have been playing politics with totally unreasonable, unbelievable “solutions” that they KNOW repubs (and actually alot of dems) wont actually vote for. then they can play the “republicans have been holding up progress” card when it comes time to vote. putting our country on hold while they play election time games. so go ahead, people “vote for change”. thats who you’re voting for.

Tiger Woods isn’t black and Obama is? That’s the whole reason Tiger’s endorsing him. Do I have to spell it out for you?. Tiger has BIG cred with the country club caucasian demographic.

Woods is about 10 percent black. According to old laws in America that would disqualify Tiger from the Affirmative Action programs of being black. So his is not black

What is going on with everyone here? People are bringing up associations and the RBC ruling. What does this have to do with the fundamental rule of obeying the Constitution? McCain can spin this all he wants but it’s not correct. Secondly, Clinton Supporters, get over the RBC ruling. Clinton was on the wrong side of the issue. Maybe if she fought for states ‘ rights before they were stripped she might have had more credibility. As she said it herself. “This election they’re having up there will not count for anything.”

It’s obvious that some individuals were asleep at the wheel with 9-11 in respect to warnings not being heeded and the slow military response to the crisis. Scheunemann, in his eagerness to discredit Obama, is basically saying that there is nothing to learn from this tragedy beyond blaming it on the 1993 trials and convictions, an accusation which any reasonable person can discern as being untrue at best.

BTW, if I’m not mistaken, I think Bill Clinton’s recommendations for strengthening anti-terrorist measures and training were ignored. And I seriously doubt the trial of the ’93 perpetrators has anything to do with Scheumann’s allegations of a law enforcement model applied to terrorism.

There is no way that non us citizens accused of acts against the united states as a whole should have any rights under the consitution.
They should only get rights under the geneva convention.

McCain was -good enough – for Kerry in 2004, well he is good enough for a vote AGAINST THE Obambi and crew in 2008!!
PUMA Democrat
“The enthusiasm of Democrats for Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, is so high that even some who have been mentioned as possible Kerry running mates — including Senator Bill Nelson of Florida and Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska senator — are spinning scenarios about a ”unity government,” effectively giving Mr. Kerry a green light to reach across the political aisle and extend an offer.
”Senator McCain would not have to leave his party,” Mr. Kerrey said. ”He could remain a Republican, would be given some authority over selection of cabinet people. The only thing he would have to do is say, ‘I’m not going to appoint any judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade,’ ” the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, which Mr. McCain has said he opposes.
Chris Lehane, a Democratic strategist who once worked for Mr. Kerry, said such a ticket ”would be the political equivalent of the Yankees signing A-Rod,” referring to Alex Rodriguez, the team’s star third baseman.
Mr. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee, ”continues to be interested in” Mr. McCain, a fellow Vietnam veteran whom Kerry aides describe as the candidate’s best friend in the Senate, as a running mate, said one longtime Democratic official who works for the Kerry campaign.

The Huffington Post has a great piece on the gaps and lies and blunders in McCain’s military record. Wish the MSM would give it the attention Clinton got for her Big Tuzla Lie.
McCain crashed five planes as a pilot.
FIVE.
The man is a disaster.
Somebody call a retirement home!

If Osama Bin Laden was captured by US, would he be kept in Guantanamo Bay or put on trial for the world to see?
I’d assume that latter. And if he was put on trial, I don’t think anyone would say he is common criminal.
–
The issue comes to do this, re: rights for prisoners, even foreign combatants. Let’s assume that everyone in the Gitmo is a terrorist. Our values will be vindicated if we can prove to the world the insidiousness of the terrorist threat. Additionally, we need to ensure that a future administration doesn’t lower the bar and imprison foreign nationals that are not terrorists. Basically, there needs to be some procedure, that’s what the Supreme Court was stating. That no one is above the law.

All those people saying McCain is throwing the Constitution away are simply nuts. The Constitution of the USA is only for the citizens of the USA. Other countries have their own Constitutions as well. The US Constitution does not apply to other countries’ citizens. It is getting really ridiculous that now it protects the rights of the terrorists who want to kill us.

Re: “The US Constitution does not apply to other countries’ citizens.”
It does when they are in our country or under our control.

How would you like it if your riding a train one day all of a sudden you see a flash of light then a second later a thunder so loud your ears burst. Then everything exploding around you. Covered in blood and body parts of kids. ALL BECAUSE OBAMA wanted to treat these Illegals like honest legal hard working Americans.

McCain IS confused…

Beldar on Yoo on Boumediene; and related thoughts on Obama’s preference to rely on criminal prosecutions to fight international terrorists

I respectfully concur, without reservation, with Prof. John Yoo’s observations on Boumediene. ******* Sen. Barack Obama, meanwhile, has put himself squarely back into a 1993-style, early-Clinton Administration mode of considering our conflict with radi…

I see them, the code-language words on McCain destined to label the man old. Just like they did with Clinton. I wonder how many of them are paid Obama-campaigners hired to fight the smear?
Obama refuses to debate because the Obama lobbyist are trying to buy the election down right.

Progressive Candidate John McCain comes through for America with his 3R economic plan.
In the aura of Theodore Roosevelt, McCain’s plan just makes sense.
1. RETHINK: America must rethink the global views on what America is capable of in our current state of technology, engineering and the demands that face the world.
“RETHINK” in terms of re-action means to set forth this plan.
Most Americans know where the USA falls short in the ways of manufacturing and valuable jobs.
It’s time to meet the change of global demands with Made in USA quality and a new American workforce. Oddly enough, the framework is ready and waiting for this plan and active participation. The Progressive attitude of John McCain to get things done will resurrect America.
2. REFORM: America must rise to these demands and compete aggressively in a global economy. We must demand higher quality products and less restricted trade routes for Made in USA components.
”RE-FORM” is simple to comprehend as through John McCain’s Progressive attitudes, the USA will reform our manufacturing and hit it full steam ahead!
Made in USA has always meant highest quality products at moderate prices. The difference today is, we save loose change with Imported Chinese junk products, but few high paying jobs exist to do anything except buy the cheaper foreign-made products.
3. REINVENT: America and Americans must reinvent themselves to reach and maintain these standards and by sheer American ingenuity, control the world’s marketplace in the competitive manner, as we have always been proud to rule. Can you hear Theodore Roosevelt shouting this?
”RE-INVENT” is the exciting part of McCain’s 3R plan.
Americans in need of a future and without the desire, funding or free time to spend 2 to 8 years in college can go back to a re-invented manufacturing education. McCain’s formula allows these new students, young and old, to be paid a moderate paycheck while learning their new skills and leadership roles in hands on classrooms! Without costing taxpayers or the US government additional funds, we can literally change the face of America and the world.
NUTS AND BOLTS of the matter are simple.
Mealer Companies and other Green Engineering firms that actually have the answers to viable fossil free transportation and climate control for home and office that saves billions per year, realize why low cost energy has been avoided. Billions in savings means millions of taxes lost! The government makes major operating expenses from energy taxes.
Everything from Electricity to home heating and gasoline/diesel.
No taxes, no government… Here’s the 3R solution!
McCain’s 3R Plan takes hold and the USA goes a bit greener.
Learning the skills required in order to become the American driving force behind new USA manufacturing boom, many Americans will also gain the skills to become the CEOs and leaders of their own USA Mfg arenas. Leading a group of people who love their new lifestyle is not difficult and Americans have been proving American ingenuity and leadership since Theodore Roosevelt’s Progressive Republican era.
Initial estimates of 1 in 5 students will go on to begin his or her own company and drive even more Americans into a viable lifestyle with real jobs, real benefits and a retirement to look forward to. Many students will combine forces and create successful joint ventures.
America has the means to follow through with John McCain’s 3R plan, ready and in place across the USA. The buildings we need sit vacant for the most part. America has millions of people screaming for new and improved jobs.
Senator McCain has provided the new guard for Social Security, the promise of retirement and the dreams that can be realized by Americans who would otherwise be lost or at the mercy of a dying workforce. This is the new workforce for American’s future.
By assuming leases on abandoned stores and factories across America with MC-3R schools and mini-manufacturing training centers, the USA made products can be sold and support the stores. Building owners write off the loss in taxes over a few years!
Although the thousands of new businesses manufacturing USA Made products is exciting enough, the real excitement comes from the massive amount of additional jobs that will be created to provide the new housing, new buildings, new parks, shopping, grocery stores, schools, government outlets and so much more.
The Key PROBLEM with the housing slump and the huge crude oil buy-out is not from greedy developers or greedy oil companies, but from the desire to locate and invest in the era’s best investments. Housing was #1 until the investment funds were pulled and crude oil took its place as a commodity. McCain will get us out of the mess that threatens the world’s economy.
These three R’s will be accomplished by the McCain express and through wealthy American entrepreneurs who were once able to invest in America’s manufacturing capabilities but have since fallen into investments that have caused catastrophic world economy failure.
McCain’s Progressive nature embodies Theodore Roosevelt more than any other US presidential candidate in history since.
We need John McCain to lead our nation.

What was Obama doing in Pakistan a few years back. Did he visit the madrasas to collect money for his campaign ?

I wish the written version of these interviews were a verbatim transcript of the live interview.
The written version always make Obama look more articulate than he really is.
Every live interview or questioning of Obama has him inserting at least 5-10 “uh…uh..uh..uh” stumblings (as he tries to remembered the scripted reply) in each answer.
I just watched an 11-minute question and answer with Obama and he had 144 “uhs” when tried to converse.
Now I know why he does not want to get into a Town Hall type debate with McCain.
Vote “Uh-bama”?

peetee,
if you know what they are please tell us. I cannot think of anything.
i want to-all that seems to come to mind is he gives good prepared speeches.
three,humm, i can’t think of any.
well someone might say his no war non vote.
but, when he did get a chance to vote,
he sided with funding, so.
three?
no, cannot think of three.
if you know please tell us.

everyone changes their mind about something, and it should be that way. the world is not stagnant. one of bush’s biggest faults was his inability to re-assess and change his position when the situation called for it.
*****************************
Not sure which side of the political spectum you’re on, but your comment is one of the few here that actually makes sense.
The inability to admit errors and correct them, is one of the biggest flaws with our political system.
None of our leaders can predict the future. They have to work with limited, and often scewed information. That always being the case, mistakes will certainly be made.
Bush was so concerned with appearing “resolved” in his decision making, he would not admit his judgement was wrong on several issues.
To continue on a wrong course out of some notion of “resolve” or “conviction” when it is obviously bad for the nation is nothing more than childish stubbornness or sheer stupidity.
To change fundimental ideology, however, is not the same thing as changing policy. Changing positions on issues such as abortion or human rights is not a retrospetive critique. It is a complete change in a socio-political stance. These types of changes are almost always politically motivated and do warrant the term “flip-flop”.

peetee,
i think you have really stumped us today with the obama three question.
very good.
but yes he did beat sen. clinton.
and i suppose that is all the qualificaton you need to be potus.
with sen. clinton now off the scene.
what are the three, or even one accomplishment that obama has done that would qualify him to be president.

How do you all think that McCain will be Bush’s third term? Have you all been asleep at the wheel for the last 8 yrs?
Argue on policy or leadership… but you can’t. You just try to say “Bush” and “McCain”in the same sentence enough times.
Wonderful debate on the issues. It’s stupid that we confuse this for political discourse in this country.

peetee,
have you noticed there is still no answer to your question.
Good question, peetee!

Every vote for John McCain is a vote against America, for it is a vote against the American Constitution, our nation’s fundament.

But McCain is still a better choice than Obama any day of the week..

McCain’s childhood was a joke.
McCain’s service in the US Army was a failure.
McCain’s marriage was a scandal.
McCain’s political career was a gimmick.
And now his last days are utterly annoying.

Re: “The US Constitution does not apply to other countries’ citizens.”
It does when they are in our country or under our control.
——-
false.
*******************************
Actually, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Supreme Court just say that is True?
That the non-citizens too have rights?

McCain’s response shows how either slick or dumb they are and how they are banking on the same idea as the Bush when it comes to the American people’s ability to make decisions based through smarts rather than impulsive fear.
Dumb countries or countries that fall prey to politicians and administrations that use fear to get support for their reactive and aggressive stances …who react without level thought…are the countries that ultimately over and over …fail.
what McCain’s campaign shows with this reaction is they have learned nothing from the mistakes of the past 8 years. They have not learned that America lead because it was not an indescriminate reactionary… it lead by always holding up what was “right” first…
Liberty and that all people are created equal… is all powerful and what made us who we are.
It is sad that we are being tested by another politician who wants to use that for their own gain again…and has lost sight of what will inevitably destroy us …if we are not fighting for those values …then we are only fighting for our own liberties…that is not the same as fighting for “liberty and justice for all”…and he as a past American prisoner of war should be ashamed of that mistake he is presently making.
Not again John…not again.

Is anyone noting that Obama is standing with the Muslims? He wants to give every detainee (POW) a trial in the U.S. Courts. You can all kiss your tax breaks, free college, health care, etc. etc. etc. goodbye. Those trials are going to cost more than all of Obama’s promised social programs combined.

Be aware that someone is using dl as a name that is not dl.

The real “dl” actually knows what seems to feel good for those who are afraid in the short term but is not courageous for our kids and grandkids.
If we lose the ability to hold fast to the right for people to have a fair trial…that ALL people are created equal…that kiberty and JUSTICE for ALL is our driving mantras…
then our children’s America and or our grandchildren’s America …loses.
because then we are no longer the America our fathers. mothers, ancestors and founders fought for.
again

“Liberty and that all people are created equal… is all powerful and what made us who we are.”
Nice sound bite. Vacuous though. And so wrong.
Liberty is the right obtained by having the strength and wisdom to defend us from our enemies. A judge that put’s our enemies on our streets to attack us is neither strong nor wise. Those that celebrate such decisions shall soon have no liberties by which to claim the rights of equality.
The left will sacrifice all to claim a principle. The right protect all so that principles may be claimed.

Don’t worry Democrats. McCain will serve you proudly as commander in chief. Not like Obama who will only serve the interest of foreign countries by first creating an environment of forcing more companies out of the country with his ELOQUENT tax program

“courage comes from doing the right thing…”
No, courage comes from knowing what the right thing is and doing it when all about you tell you it is the wrong thing.
Pretty speeches without actions are the common resort of those who embezzle our interests to serve their own.

There is a remarkable consistency across all these polls, one that helps us draw certain boundaries aro…

petee:
Obama’s top three accomplishments that determine that he’s qualified to be president…
Well, he hasn’t crossed the Delaware and defeated the British. It’s an interesting thought experiment to apply to all presidents before they were elected, not just Obama.
Probably it’d be:
- Winning his US senate seat in a landslide.
- Being right on Iraq and making speeches about it when it was politically unpopular.
- Coming from a broken home to where he is now.
Feel free to post your list for your favorite president, whether Bill Clinton or George W. Bush.
John McCain would be:
- Winning re-election three times
- Refusing early release from being a POW
- (Not sure)
But frankly, I wouldn’t support him if he’d won 14 major golf titles, because as the NYT said today, he’s very similar to Bush on policy.

Winning his US senate seat in a landslide.
ACCOMPLISHMENT? THROWING PRIMARY OPPONENTS OFF THE BALLOT, UNSEALING DIVORCE RECORDS, FACING A NUT JOB CARPETBAGGER.
STRIKE 1
- Being right on Iraq and making speeches about it when it was politically unpopular.
WRONG ABOUT THE SURGE. VOTES PRESENT. NEVER VOTED AGAINST THE WAR. SOFT ON TERRORISM. WANTS TO APPEASE IRAN AND OTHER PRO-TERRORIST NATIONS
BIG WHIFF STRIKE 2
- Coming from a broken home to where he is now.
COMES FROM WELL-TO-DO FAMILY, JOINED A RACIST BLACK MILITANT CHURCH TO GET WHERE HE IS NOW. HAD EMIL JONES STRONG ARM PEOPLE OUT OF THE WAY. THREW ALICE PALMER UNDER THE BUS. USED SUPERDELEGATES, HAD A SYCHOPHANT MEDIA, PLACE THE RACE CARD, AND DISENFRANCHISED VOTERS TO GET THE UNOFFICIALL NOMINATION
SWINGS AND MISSES. STRIKE THREE
OBAMA HAS NOT DONE DIDDILY SQUAT.

Obama has the reputation for being soft on crime in Chicago–the gang violence there is rampant.
I don’t trust him to protect our country.

Obama is so out of touch with reality (and Constitutional law) it’s staggering!

One of the major news networks (starts with a “C” and ends with an “N”) did a detailed comparison of Obama and McCain tax plans last week. Unless you make over $160,000 a year…your tax burden will be going UP under McCain and DOWN with Obama. That makes McCain just like Bush Junior…an enemy of America’s hard-working middle-class and a puppet of the wealthiest. Bottom line: If McSame’s elected (and you’re not rich) get ready for FOUR MORE YEARS OF PAIN and SUFFERING.

McBush…because you don’t really value your freedom.

Terrorism is a tactic. You can’t declare “War” against a tactic.
Posted by: ThunderMonkey | Jun 17, 2008 2:19:48 PM
a Tactic? Are you kidding me? Tactics are operational functions to execute, carry-out a strategy or plan. It is the mechanical motion to achieve an overall goal. Terrorism is many things, but it is NOT a tactic. What it is, is a battle against an ideology, with which you cannot negotiate. An extreme radical is not going to suddenly stop and say, “oh Mr. Obama you’re right, and we’ve been wrong all these years, my apologies, we go now”
I’m not excited about McCain either, but he is right in that Obama is incredibly naive in International Politics, and Interantional Law. The most persistent problem in which, is achieving common definitions and an agreed upon punishment for crimes, corruption, terrorism. What is corruption in the U.S., is part of the culture and ways of business in countries like Indonesia. Just ask companies like P&G, who had to play by their rules in business, but get smacked by U.S. law.
Obama is clueless in the international realm, and that is what scares me

This comment the war should be fought by lawyers is just plain stupid, they going to duel with pens. Shows Obama is just plain ignorant when it comes to the war. I can’t believe even the Dems by that one….If they do it just show what a joke they are…… On top of that comment he wants open borders what’s wrong with this man?? Oh that’s right 57 states

Your kidding me. What on earth is wrong with staying within the confines of our precious Constitution while fighting terrorists? Are you all so cowardly that you wish to toss away that which makes us special to begin with, that which millions of men have died over our history to preserve? My God I do not believe what I am seeing. The problem is not the terrorists, it is our own terror.

Seems like a lot of people were reading this one…and when people really read and analyze the words Obama says instead of watching them performed….they “get it”
Obama has taken bits and peices of all the recent campaigns and studied them. Then he took whatever worked and used it.
Unfortunately for public policy he seems inclined to take old ideas that didn’t work and policies and positions that do not appeal to centrists, but rather pander to his base (elites, younger voters and most of all the ones that believe that Obama is the second coming).
I appreciate your attempts to introduce us to Obama. I prefer it to the outspoken advocacy and the rampant glorification that the media has by and large inflicted on the average voter throughout the primary.

The whole point IS THAT PRES. BUSH IS FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION TO THE LETTER.ENEMY COMBATATANTS HAVE NO CIVIL RIGHTS AT A TIME OF WAR AND THEY ARE HELD WITH NO “CHARGES” TILL THE END OF HOSTILITIES JUST LIKE DURING WWII.READ OUR HISTORY AND READ THE DECLARTION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE CONSTITUTION, YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING!

thanks for the such a nice content…
