McCain NYC Town Hall Offers No Fireworks Without Obama

tony rezko
if you only had a brain

freak!!!!!!
good riddens to you

“I think this town hall meeting tonight would have been a little bit more interesting tonight if Senator Obama had accepted my request,” McCain said early on in the evening…
Even McCain knows he’s a snoozer! A blatant admission that new blood is needed to liven up the same-ol’ same ol’!

The GOP, McCain and Fox News must really hate women. First they go after Hillary tooth and nail, now they attack Michelle Obama. They must have the political formula that says destroy women at all costs.
Most Hillary supporters need to understand that it was the GOP that destroyed Hillary from the very beginning. The GOP with Rove leaked press stories and information to drive up Hillary’s negatives even before she announced her candidacy. The GOP thought she would be the Democratic nominee and needed to destroy her reputation and define her image. That is why the initial press was so aligned against Hillary initially.
Until women as a group start to fight back against this kind of stuff they will always lose and be thought of as second class.

Did you hear about McCain’s involvement in “The Keating 5?” I’m surprised he got the nomination after being involved in that. Just check out the site below:

It’s time to stop McCain. Let’s unite to bring some change to the White House

Obama is afraid to accept McCain’s challenge to a town-hall style debate just as he was afraid, & refused, to accept Hillary Clinton’s challenge to meet her in a free-style debate? His managers know he’s not knowledgeable enough to make a decent showing in a debate where his highly paid writers aren’t able to give him a speech to memorize. Also, of course, his image gets damaged when embarrassing facts about his history, deceit, buddies, etc., are disclosed & discussed.

These guys should absolutely have a town hall meeting. I want to know, in plain english, what they are going to do about healthcare in this country. As a doctor (who, coincidentally treats many war vets), I hope that one of the candidates realizes that “supporting the troops” means providing comprehensive healthcare for them once they get home. If we took our defense budget and applied it towards universal healthcare, our country would be much better off.

nobama! lifelong democrat here not voting for obama. too extreme. too dirty

Republicans use racist fear of the black man while they continue to screw over whites and everyone else as they laugh all the way to the bank.
Yep, republicans are counting on whites to ignore 7 years of getting screwed without vaseline because they think fear of blacks will trump all any problems they have with bush/cheney and mccain.

Folks, I’m a dyed in the wool Democrat. Always have been. That being said, we’ve had 8 years of deadlock and very little compromise. And look at the state of our union for it. While climate change, the war, heathcare and the energy crisis are all incredibly passionate topics, they all need to be addressed with rational compromise. This November needs to be more than another mud-slinging contest. Squabbling amongst ourselves will only prolong the status quo and ensure a rapid decline in our great nation.

Omentum says he/she? touches him/herself when he/she thinks of Obama. Omentum sounds like a sicko badly in need of professional help for this perversion and from what I’ve heard about Obama’s background, Omentum is exactly the type Obama would attract.

Obama is for the capital gains tax of 28%…that means if I sell my house the taxes will be more, if I withdraw from my 401k, my taxes will be more, the tax on my dividends will be more. Does he have any clue? America is already taxed to death! Obama needs to get he head out of the clouds, come down to earth, and see the day to day struggle of Americans. I know why he won’t have the town hall meetings with McCain. There will be no teleprompters, he wont have a speech written and ready, and Obama knows that this is when he is most vulnerable, when he is out on the stump without these things…..he tends to crash and burn. He can’t think on his own, he stutters, stammers, etc. Obama is no more than an “empty suit with no substance.”

Barack Obama is not here so Please stay awake my friends

david from texas,
We’ll be also paying UN taxes if Obama’s global poverty act is signed. And probably more than that.

Ben,
I would like to know about medical myself. I already know McCain wants another Roberts or Alito. I have 2 daughters and this is scary. When do they each stand on the economy? How are they going to deal with the Housing crisis? If McCain follows his past we the people will pick up the tab for the Savings and Loans. McCain has a past there.

Will be be sending 12 to 16 billion a month to Iraq? That alone is a savings of 160 billion a year. 10 percent of our gas cost goes to the military.

MCCAIN IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE LEFT WHO HAS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HONESTY, INTEGRITY, AND PROVEN EXPERIENCE.
WE WE NEED A LEADER, NOT A ROCK STAR TO LEAD OUR NATION.
MCCAIN ALL THE WAY IN 08′

“Until women as a group start to fight back against this kind of stuff they will always lose and be thought of as second class” James, the DNC and Obama supporters have talked the talk but Obama supporters have not been living this “unity” theme, reflecting this desire for equality for all by speaking up against bigotry, sexism and racism spewed against Clinton supporters. Obama supporters cannot claim the mantle to fight equality for all while remaining silent when bigotry flies from other Obama supporters. If we don’t speak up and stand up against Obama bullies when they take away others’ rights, then who will be left to defend us when they come to take our rights away as well. We will never give up this fight against the unchecked bigotry from the Obama supporters. We all have to make our stand somewhere to stem this bigotry. And this stand for us is now. We will vote NO to the DNC and Obama supporters.

Obama does not show up for the debate because he can not speak without his teleprompter. Notice that when he “scans” the audience he is only reading the words his speech writer is feeding him. Have you heard him try to talk on his own? What a joke!

wikipedia is full of errors, can’t trust it nor so called self proclaimed history. Obama is an expert at spinning lies, how do you think he beat Clinton? I, a former democrat will not vote for Obama. But I will not vote for McCain on one issues, and one issue only – the war. If he was more geared toward moderate war thinking, McCain would be president without a doubt.

There is no way millions of Democrats, who saw a gutsy, centrist, qualified candidate in action, are going to vote for the new Bush v2 – Obama in 2008. Think about it. They’re both puppets put up by their party. They know nothing, and owe everyone who put them there. You like them, want to have a beer (Bush) or glass of wine (OBama) with them, but you suspect they don’t have a clue. You also smell their ‘unity’ cries are probably more than a bit idealistic. I moved to McCain, and hordes have also shown up supporting him. Obama won’t do the townhalls because he’s too weak. We all know it. I used to hate Republicans, but I see that they’ve got a qualified centrist candidate. The move over was all too easy.

dont tread on me you are no revolutionaty just a pesky isurgent that no PR campain by Obama can help… Obama will not win

It doesn’t matter if McCain is or isn’t a great speaker. We’re electing a president, not a motivational speaker.
Obama is a leftwing radical that will tear this nation apart and people won’t vote for him. And that’s just a fact.
President McCain – get use to it!

The actual reason McCain wants
town hall meetings with Obama
is because McCain is hurting for
funds and the meetings would
be at no cost to his campaign.
If the situation was reversed,
McCain would ridicude the concept.

You should report the whole story ABC. Even Farce I mean Fox news reported that McCain lied and the townhall meeting was not a bipartisan event but instead McCain stacked it with his own supporters. The straight talk express is turning out to be a major bull shi***.

Its the return of Bush’s PHONEY townhall meetings!
Yesureee, all the GOP loyalists we could find, packed in one room…

McCain’s “townhall” meeting was nothing more than an INFOMERCIAL.
It was a complete joke. It reminded me of when Bush went campaigning around the country to promote privitization of social security.

I agree Lawrence
I think if McSame really wanted to do townhalls with Obama, he would have negotiated with him offline instead of grandstanding. His is such a rusty tool.
I remember Hillary did the same thing when she was an the ropes. I guess McSame seems to think he is already on the ropes. I seem to agree.
OBAMA 08

Grandstanding.
So easy a McCaveman can do it

obviously many to none of you have seen Obama do town hall meetings, which are many and not scripted like Mccains. McCain needs Obama to get attention and keep people awake. Obama do not let Mccain dictate your schedule.

No one really has to say dumb things about Obama because most logical people can see that he is a joke for themselves.
As more of his supporters during the primary suffer from buyer’s remorse and Clinton supporters vote for McCain, I hope that his farce of a campaign ends in November with him losing.
The Obama red flags have been ignored for too long.

Use Obama to fire up your followers, what a loser.
He is not worth Obama’s or our time.
McCain is waste just like Bush and his friends.

I loved Keith Olbermann on McCain last night. What a great ‘special comment’. I only wish Obama could have that tape and play it all around the country again and again and again. And if they don’t use Olbermann’s tape then create one of their own in the same way Olbermann did!

Olbermann… I used to listen to that guy until he fell in lust with Obama. This media man love is really disturbing… in that these Obama guys are NOT journalists or even cogent commentators.

Completely stopped watching the farce olberman show, and the screwball peeing his pants when hearing Bho speaks, 7 months ago. He is as phony as supporting a phony, creating a sure loser, again, in November.

FYI, what you all seem to forget is that had Obama attended this town hall meeting you would have been jumping at his throat for presumptively claiming the democratic nomination!
convention is in August,after he’s officially nominated, which he will be, then he can start the town hall debates. and please, Mcsame can’t even tell Sunis aparts from Shiats, he’s DONE.

LOL, yea, i think it was 57 states. That guy is clueless. I’m convinced that there is just too much dirt on Obama and he can’t win. Just look at the dirt they’ve got on him on this website: http://www.realdealreport.com At some point that info on Obama will hit the mainstream media.

Were we watching the same Town Hall meeting? I did not hear any of Obama’s lofty rhetoric, signifying nothing. What I heard and saw was a lot of substance coming from John McCain who is able to talk standing on his own two feet without a teleprompter and needing to use someone else’s speech. No wonder Obama does not want to attend such meetings–they are too much like debates, when you have to think fast about everything you know. He knows nothing.
Give me a break! He prefers the Lincoln-Douglas type debates where each candidate gives about a one-hour speech. He also prefers caucuses, and if Michigan and Florida could have been done over with caucuses, he “might” have okayed it? What is he afraid of? People might discover how little he knows?
Where is the substance? Can he backpedal his way into the White House?

By the way, Obama isnt perfect, but he meant the “57 primaries” and made a simple mistake…have you never said anything you didnt mean??
I think most Americans know what he meant but there just isnt that much to slam him with so you people use what ever you can…i have never seen so much HATE!
btw, just ask yourself when you keep spreading the hate…wwjd???
(what would Jesus do?)

His campaign is considering the proposal,but said it was too soon after Obama clinched his party’s Nod for them to make it work.
