Obama Considering Larger Denver Stage

America used to see two John Kerrys. Now it sees 20 Obamas. The one before he ran; the one when he was elected State Senate; the one when he was elected to Senate; the one when he runs for Democratic nominee; the one after he won. It’s not just the professional issues which he lies; it’s also the personal issues.

hes gonna need it with all the people he attracts

Barack Obama ’08

I don’t think Obama will need a very big venue at all. Right now, his popularity is dropping with his flip-flops and lies, he’s losing Hillary supporters votes, he recants his positions on NAFTA, FISA, abortion, gun control, campaign finance, etc,etc. America is tired of his lies and his arrogance. I am so glad that the truth about him is finally coming out. I love watching the news everyday to see how much further he is sinking, how his campaign is imploding, and which way he’s going to flip-flop that day. And, whats more, he’s doing all of this to himself. John McCain and the GOP aren’t doing anything but sitting back and enjoying the show. Keep it up Obama…you are realizing you are a liar and America does not want you!

he needs a big stage, like men need big guns to make up for other shortcomings. the first ‘american idol style’ election in u.s history needs a large stage.

Yeah and Bush started the Iraq war to compensate for his enormous shortcomings.

@ merri:
Yeah and Bush started the Iraq war to compensate for his enormous shortcomings.
You Obamambots never cease to make me laugh! What does Bush have to do with NoBama wanting to change the venue? Oh, I get it, you are trying to spin another story as your messiah does, right? Get a life……Obama is a loser and will not enter OUR White House!

Barack Obama is a man with a clear view of what needs to happen in America. Barack Obama is THE man.

Where in the world do you find this level of hatred for Obama? I am a Democrat but I could never write the hate filled emails and outrageous lies about McCain that you are writing about Obama.
Your hatred goes way beyond politics, way beyond any of the issues and way beyond the individuals involved.
Is it that he is half black? It surely looks like it from where I am standing. Your comments cannot impress any rational voter and will likely alienate many.
Your puffed up chest pounding suggests greater issues are at work and perhaps that your medications need some upgrading.

=======================================
The answer is simple. These are hateful racist beings venting their racist feelings under the guise of political opposition. In other words they wear their bed linen after they get up and about. Nothing but the worst america has to offer. I oughta know I was once a part of that crowd. I never could figure out why I hated blacks so much. I never lived near them or anything I just hated they for no reason. I guess I was just plain stupid like the rest of the fools against Obama because he’s black.

For the record I voted for Jesse Jackson in 1984 and 1988 in the Primaries, but could not bring myself to vote for Obama. There’s something I initially felt hideous about the guy, about his speeches, which is starting to prove as he continues to lie, deceive.

Obama is not an African-American, according to the law. He is an Arab-American. Do your homework.

Heard that the republicans (small r’s) and their RNC are bitterly upset over the possibility that a Pres Obama may change the timetable for bringing the troops back home – within 16 months of assuming office.
Apparently they abhor – and confused – McFlipFlop’s swagger(flip) never to surrender and then guarantee(flop) to bring the troops home by 2013 – no matter what.
Imagine Karl Rove as a closet Obamabot! [And he better stay closeted too!]

“I’ve always said that the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability. That assessment has not changed,” said Obama. “And when I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground, I’m sure I’ll have more information and will continue to refine my policies.”

I’m glad to see Obama shifting his position in order to represent ALL Americans and not just the left wing of his party.
And I’m additionally happy that he’s capable of assessing new information and shifting his choices accordingly; not sticking rigidly by a failed policy.

Let’s keep this in perspective. A charismatic outsider with a large group of fanatic disciples preaching ‘change’ and ‘unity’ has historically brought human suffering. Don’t make Obama a demagogue.

When Obama gave his victory speech in Minnesota at the SITE OF THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, the place was overflowing with people! The convention center was full, and there were almost as many people outside the center that couldn’t get in!
In the Democratic Convention, the same is expected to happen. The convention center is too small for that – so a bigger place is needed. Take that as you will, Obama has a HUGE following!
No matter what, Obama’s acceptance speech will be history in the making. All major news media will be there, and all of America will be able to watch the historical event! (I have heard Faux News may not be invited, but then, they are a minor player anyway.)
This will be an event to watch! This will be an event to participate in! This will be a new page of history!

I’m not surprised that Obama feels he needs such a large venue. He is after all a megalomaniac.
The question is, who’s going to bring him back to earth?

Yes he can get a 50 to 70 thousand people and they can chant “Yes, We Can”. No substance needed behind that statement, No need to tell anyone where you really stand, but of course, OBAMA doesn’t know where he stands anyway. Just get the crowd and beat the drums and chant and that will sway the voters of America! OBAMA thinks so little of the people in this nation. Some people are like those animals that all dash off the cliff together in a wild frenzy, but most American’s cherish this country and know how long and how many lives were given in order to achieve what we have. They will do the right thing.

Roger Miller – “With Obama, you cannot trust him to stick to any one thought or position.” – I know, let’s elect a President who won’t change his position no matter what the facts are or what changes. No wait, we already have that. lol

Jeanne from Michigan – You are so spot on. What in the heck do these people think Senator Obama is going to Iraq for? Of course it’s to get more facts and to talk to the people on the ground, something any reasonable person would do. And with more facts he may adjust his position accordingly. Bush plowed on ahead even though the facts were exactly opposite of what he was saying. It’s refreshing to see a leader like Obama who is willing to get more information so that he can make his decisions accordingly.

LOU POLLS ARE MEANINGLESS. THE VOTE IS THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS. AND I’M BETTING THAT ON ELECTION DAY IT WILL BE PRESIDENT MC CAIN AND NOT OBAMA.

Barak Obama would have to go a long way to flip flop like a republican. John McCain was one of only two Republican Senators to vote against the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, no he wants to make them permanant. In 2000 he compared Jerry Falwell on the right to Louis Farakaan on the left, then made a homecoming speec at Liberty U. He said Rowe v Wade should not be overturned and now says the Supreme Court overreached. He said he was going to accept public financing in order to obtain a loan and then backed out. I could go on but….

The clintonistas on this board can whine all they like, but HRC will never be President. Never. :-)

I think it’s very arrogant of Obama to have this speech on the same day Mr. Martin Luther King Jr. had his speech. Obama is no JFK and he is no where near the man Mr.King was.

he is 5 points ahead. both need to get a big stadium. To be real honest I dont even think he is 5 points ahead probably even or behind. Weak candidate if he is only 5 points ahead right now.

More cult like every day, Obama and supporters stab fellow Democrats in the back, then they create their own seal, now they need their own place outside of the convention center. I wonder if Obama is starting to realize that Delegates may find it necessary to throw him under the bus, that is rather than forfeit the Presidency to the Republicans. Is Obama getting paranoid? Is this a threat to riot if he is not selected?

It is Sen. Barack Obama’s arrogance, not “audacity” that impels his desire to turn his Democratic nomination acceptance speech into yet another “mega rally”. Given Barack’s constant policy shifts, this “rally” scenario seems yet another obvious attempt to attempt style & flash over substance. There is simply nothing at this man’s core.

Obama needs stadiums to accomodate his supporters, while McSame can barely fill local VFW halls. Too funny.

Eileen from Maine- it will be a good thing to have volunteer jobs since many more people will be out of work when Obama institutes his wealth redistribution plan. When top earners are paying 60% in taxes like they might in California and NY and small businesses go under due to larger increase in taxes, Social Security payment and manadates, they’ll be a large number of people looking for something to do. All those stock market people will be looking since increase the cap gains will take a lot of money out of the market. You many people can now invest overseas were developing countries can have good returns. Wealthy people can move offshore and guess who provides a lot of jobs in this country? The rich who invest in companies and the small businesses. Without them, no jobs.
SO like Iraq Obama is not looking at the consequences of his actions. Change is good if you have a leader with experience. He has NONE. He is probably the most UNQUALIFIED candidate in recent history with no management or leadership experience. It’s like the Democrats went ot an Ivy league campus and interviewed graduates for the job. Next time you have surgery, have the college student do it. You’ll understand what I am saying.

jschmidt – what a bunch of crap. obama doesn’t have a “wealth redistibution scheme” you desperate republicans have nothing but disinformation and lies.

The nore Obama moves to the center the more he sounds like the big liar we all thought he was….he wants to be just like McCain with a little bit of Bush thrown in!! I listed to economist say that one of the reasons why the stock market was bad is because if Obama gets elected with all of his exteme “give away all the money” polices, that we will ALL be taxed so high the country will be worst off than it is right now! They stated that everyone will have to be taxed just to implement all of the programs for the poor that he is intending to do! Stands to reason…somebody will have to pay even the lowest paid individuals! Better vote for McCain than to vote for Obama or write in anyone else!

Poor Canada – having to support American rejects!

Since Hussein Obama is such a big hot shot fund raiser and he wants to “CHANGE” where he accepts the nomination…let the big ego snake devil help the Democrats pay for it…
He is all for “CHANGE” is he not? So let him prove it by paying….Of course we all know that his “CHANGE” is only about Changing his mind…Right?

This has nothing to do with actual people demand for space. This is all about Barry’s ego and the arrogance of his lying campaign. Barry can conduct his coronation speech in the parking lot of a McDonald’s for all I’m concerned. The outcome will be the same. His popularity is dropping fast as the real Obama is finally revealed. All you liberal liars and news media in the tank for this phony.
He’s gonna loose in November.

ann – your comment makes no sense. clearly he’s not attracting small crowds and wants to be as inclusive as possible. that’s the price of popularity.

JustMe – nice try, but Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 or terrorism. Nobody is buying that lie anymore. Try again. lol

Jo – what a bunch of nonsense. Where do yo get your absurd “1/3 of Hillary supporters are going to stay home” nonsense – some partisan GOP website?
You’re out of your mind.

Read the polls. Doesn’t matter that no democrat “you know” isn’t doing it. Plenty are.
You were probably shocked in 2004 weren’t you? That’s what happens when everyone you know is in group think and you assume the rest of the country feels as you do.

JustMe – Oh PLEASE! Every congressman and senator in our history has made these kind of inflated claims – McCain does the exact same thing. That’s the silliest compliant I’ve ever heard. Grow up and get real…

Love how Obama’s most dedicated supporters run around the internet accusing anyone who doesn’t agree with the Senator of racism.
But why not…Obama himself fired the first salvo when he preemptively warned his supporters that the race card would be used against him.
Sorry, the majority of Americans don’t care about the candidates race, but his character and integrity. The only one’s obsessed with race in this election are Obama’s most devote supporters.

To My Hillary supporters: We MUST all vote for McCain as a protest vote against Barack. Sitting it out = letting Barack win…….. can we really afford that?? NO!!!!!!!

sweet sue,
McCain didn’t claim to be “different”…Obama did.
That’s why he’ll lose. He has nothing else but his “I’m different” claim.
When that goes, he goes.
Get it now? Good.

Jo – But a vote for McCain is a guarantee that nothing will change. After all, McCain is now owned by same Republican special interest groups that own Bush. I’ll take my chances with Obama. And so will the country.
Get it now? Good.
lol

Jo – got a link? Or should I just take your word for it?

Hill Girl – If you really supported Hillary, why would you spitefully sell out everything she believes in and fought for by voting for McCain? That doesn’t make any sense to me. I doubt you’re really a Democrat or a Hillary supporter. I supported Hillary and now I support Obama, because the stakes are too high not to. I doubt you are telling the truth.

Janet, nice try, but people will vote for McCain because the alternative, the radical leftwing America hater Obama and his wife and his reverend are disgusting.
Nice try though, but you lose again.

Janet, the liberal media has praised McCain for 8 years because he bucked Bush & his party.
So saying McCain is another Bush won’t work AT ALL.
Better come up with something else. Lol.

Joe – all these alleged Hillary voters going for McCain sound like a Republican campfire story to me. You know what I mean, right? The kind of tale that you
Republicans tell each other late at night to keep the fear and desperation at bay? Good luck with that, but I think the November surprise will be on you.

I remember all the claims that Kerry would win in 2004. How did that turn out?
It will happen again. People are finding out about the fraud Obama. Even New Yorker magazine says he has a huge Iraq problem because the surge is working.
Ouch. He’s toast.

McCain has experience? I do not remember McCain holding the title of President of the United States before. There is no “experience” for the job – strictly on-the-job training as there is no other job like it in the entire world.

this story is hillarious – obama fills stadiums and mccain can barely fill a conference room. the poor guy doesn’t stand a chance. america is just sick of the gop and willing to take a chance on the new guy. yes we can.

Jo – did you miss this key bullet point of the poll?
‘Number of Clinton supporters who plan to defect to McCain is down’
That’s really the key metric here. it’s going to keep trending down as Hillary campaigns for Obama, too.
You may want to hold off on the McCain victory celebration for a little while,
lol

NO to BHO – are you talking about Obama or Bush in 2000? lol

NO to BHO – wrong. Obama had more delegates. That’s what counts. He won fair and square. Not my fault if you refuse to accept this.

you know, i don’t love barack obama, but the botton line is that i am sick of republicans and will probably never vote for another republican for a very long time. i liked edwards, but i will vote obama because we can’t afford another republican in the white house now.

YES WE CAN! OBAMA IN ’081!

COLORADO AND VIRGINIA GOING DEM IN 08
OBAMA 2008 YYYYYEEEEAAAHHHHH !!!!!!!

nate g- prove it

lois – i feel the same way about mccain. he’s flip-flopped on every issue he once believed in. what’s up with that?

kimbers, Yeah, I don’t like McCain either, but Obama said he was a different politician…change. He’s not. He used people to get where he is and now he is changing his position. So you are for that?

lois – yes, because the alternative – four more years of republican misrule – is so much worse that i’m willing to take a chance on the new guy. you never get real change without taking a real chance.

Damian,
What Obama is not telling us what he will do “for us” Obama is telling us what he will do to us:
Obama: “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK…. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”
Obama: Will roll back President Bush’s tax cuts and increase all taxes across the board, including income taxes, payroll taxes, corporate taxes and dividend taxes.
Obama: Will implement failed government programs such as the one program that turned a Chicago Grove Parc Plaza neighborhood into a rat infested slum. By the way these are among the government programs that Obama touts as an accomplishment in his Chicaco days as a community activist and State Senator that funneled so much money to his buddy Rezco.
Obama: Believes that the top down dead hand approach of government telling everyone what to do and how to live is the answer to solving all the so called problems of the US. And just what problems does Obama think government is the answer to?
Global Warming? Oh yes Obama can stop China, India and the rest of the third world from developing, building their coal run power plants and drilling for oil off of our shore, while he tells the people in the US you can’t drill for more oil, you can’t build new refineries and nuclear power plants, no no no, it is a good thing gas prices are so high so all you poor people are forced out of their cars and onto bicycles or rapid transit.
Some Messiah, Obama wants a lower standard of living for all and more government control over our lives while he sits on his high horse telling everyone whats wrong with America and how to live our lives.

sandy i don’t know yet. i have family in denver as well as one of my professors. sounds like you are going eh? best wishes in denver. i sure wish hillary had won, but i have moved on and hope americans make the best choice.

How exciting! I want to be wherever he is when he makes his acceptance speech. I’ve been waiting all of my life – over 50 years for this moment!
America is about to turn a corner with fresh, new, thoughtful leadership. If I can’t get there in person, I will be with him in spirit and do everything to help him in November!!! (Saving vacation time to do it!)
Let’s go!

jschimdt – nice try, but you Republicans are in no position to lecture anybody about “experience” after you voted for Bush.

sue – speak for yourself – no single voice speaks for ALL Texans or any other voting block.

LOU POLLS ARE MEANINGLESS. THE VOTE IS THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS. AND I’M BETTING THAT ON ELECTION DAY IT WILL BE PRESIDENT MC CAIN AND NOT OBAMA.

wishful thinking…..Next

Mike Guilford ………….You live in a vague world where facts are not relevant. Obama has not facts and is using everyone else’s political line as his own.Wat it means is you will vote for Obama over misplaced guilt over the slave issue. He has no platform. At least not one that you would vote for. He won’t tell anyone what that really is. However his friends will just watch and find out how they think. Scary how you will support nothing and call it new.

Max power…If all Republicans were like Bush, only one Republican would have ever been elected. That isn’t fair to say. If all Democrats were like Carter only one would have ever been elected. I know Obama because he doesn’t really have any experience likes to keep beating that drum, but it’s a stupid plan. Anybody that thinks about it knows better. We don’t have a real choice this time. This election is for America. It’s communism with Obama, or Freedom with McCain. I choose freedom.
God bless America. Put Obama, Michelle Wright and Pfleger on a boat to Indonesia.

Sorry Larriman…it isn’t about that. It is a money issue from my point of view. They should be fiscally conservative in light of what they are already having to cut back on.
Seems to me that both parties enjoy putting on an expensive show…let us not forget that the majority who will be reaping the benefits will be the politicians. How I would love to have an all expense paid mini vacation myself.
The larger stadium isn’t about letting more people take part in democracy, it is about putting on show. With the press finally toughening up on Obama, he needs to put on the glitz and glamor just to keep his base.

I am truly flabergasted by the word “flip-flopping”. We have had a proud non-flip-flopper in the white house for the painful 7 and a half years. Look what it did to the nation and to the entire world. It is more important for leaders to be able to refine policies as long as it is based solidly on the firm principles. Senator Obama’s principles on the Iraq war that started out with a total lie has been absoltutely solid. He, however, is willing to correct courses as new information gets available. This is why he is a far better leader than the current White House occupant. So please refrain using the word flip-flop.

Don’t count on Obama hiring the stadium for his speech. Read today’s NYT about shortfalls, costly mistakes and finger pointing between the DNC and TeamObama (that’s a sure way to win friends and promote unity!). Caterers and vendors are fed up with the Convention Committee and Obama too – wondering who’s going to pay for all this excess.
And to think the Democrats thought they’d be able to win over Colorado this November. Dream on!

Karl Rove- Last i looked we were at peace with Vietnam and they are not our enemy. There have been many instances of US and WWII veterans making the peace amongst themselves so why not the vetrans from Vietnam era.So your alander of McCain obviosly is just BS. Typical of an Obama supporter who have called McCain names. No use talking to you.

Cjoy………….Just because you claim that republicans are bigots and other such names doesn’t make it true.It was Eisenhower who sent troop to little rock not JFK.JFK wanted to keep Mr King in jail because he was messing up the southern white vote.He only did the minimum to look good.Libs have taken credit for civil rights moving ahead . Yet it is the other way around. the republican party has been the movers. The libs have been the Taxers and destroying of rights in this country. Libs are more concerned about foreigners and their feeling than Americans.An example is the gun rights that the supreme court ruled on.That really got the libs screaming murder.

jschmidt – I understand your points – I do not argue that the oil is there or that it can be recovered – the point is – who says that Americans are going to be the consumers? The oil companies are going to sell their product to the highest bidder. Countries like China and India can pay those prices – after all – China already has a credit card in the name of future generations of our children. They can pay the price the oil companies demand. China is as in desperate need of oil and its products as we are – and they have the larger pocket book.

Sandy in NM- it has been an interesting blog except for the name calling which we could all do without.

Just a side note – African-American is a ‘label’ used by the census bureau as well as on the forms one fills out when applying for a job – like Hispanic/Latino/, Caucasian, Asian, Native American, Alaskan Native, etc.

Sandy, I have never seen an application with French American etc on any forms…not even where I work…large legal firm..the ones you noted are for bureau satistics, yes, but for affirmative action because large companies NEED to offer employment to certain ethnic groups or else you leave yourself open to a lawsuit for DISCRIMINATION…SOUND FAMILIAR?

eyes wide open – Senator Obama fills his suit quite nicely, thank you!

im not sure what the big deal is? he has alot of people that come to hear him speak everyone knows this. so he wants something big enough..so?

he has always said he is going to be as careful pulling out of iraq as bush was reckless getting in….
he said the same thing just in different words.. he want to get out soon BUT safe and he isnt going to know what that time line is with out facts..

How could anybody in their right mind vote for these two dolts?

j,
whats her views on the issues..lol
serious question what makes you dislike obama and mccain?

j,
not trying to harp on you or give you 52 questions but im intersted in who you wanted to vote for? and why?

Well lets see not Obama or McCain. I might just write in Hillary. At least in my mind I will have voted and voted for the best person for the job, even if it doesn’t count. She has her faults but I think she would do a better job than these two.

Melissa,
Her and McCain have worked together in the Senate and are friendly. They have traveled together overseas on .I think she respects him but politics are politics.
I don’t agree with all she did but out of the three of them I think she would do the best job. One thing I like about her, she is a fighter, if she wasn’t she wouldn’t be where she is. She has withstood a lot over the years.

Ya’ll be nice to each other will ya?

Reginald: you cannot not get thru to some of these people. I have tried and Sandy has tried and several others. The problem is that they don’t want to believe in HOPE they are afraid of CHANGE. They would rather spout half truths and outrite lies with out checking all the facts. I feel really sorry for them as they are unaware that they are being taken for a ride

What a megalomaniac! He believes in his own greatness…
Obama has turned his back on his supporters, the Hillary supporters don’t want him…and he doesn’t care…He figures we have to vote for him “regardless” of what he says or does; he’s a democrat…
Anything else we would be throwing our vote away…which isn’t true.
A vote isn’t like playing Las Vegas, you must pick the winner.
A vote is an individual’s voice of support or dissent of a candidate.
We are not obligated to vote for any particular group or person.
The DNC are adamant we must ALL fall in line, they are INCORRECT. They are not in the position to give orders to the people who employ them. They have been in their positions too long, they forget their place…(vote the bums out!)
There are other people running for the job of President, do some reserch people check out the other candidates…

Why is it that the media is so intent on shoving Obama down our throats? He is only a man people! And not an experience one in goverment or world issues. I fail to understand the media’s romance with him when they eat alive all others.

Rick from Pa
Well said. I applaud your clear thinking and well written statement.

Write in a candidate name!
Bob Barr in ’08!
Libertarians have the right answer!

It looks like there are 2 things going on here. People are either voting for fear or hope. That’s the choice. Are you afraid? Then trust your creator. Do you have hope? Then thank God for it. Vote for what’s best for our nation. One nation under God, with liberty and justice for all, as all true Americans will.

quote I’m a Hillary supporter……..
I got a question:
—————–
Is it true:if you use
THE WRITE-IN HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT
your vote goes to Obama????????
end quote.
THE VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED. THEY ONLY COUNT VOTES IF THE CANDIDATE REGISTERS IN THE STATE TO HAVE THE VOTES COUNTED. HILLARY CAN NOT REGISTER A WRITE IN CAMPAIGN SO THE VOTE IS NOT COUNTED.
I WILL VOTE MCCAIN AS THE ONLY GOOD WAY TO SUPPORT HILLARY.

If you write in Hillary, it will count as a vote for Hillary….but why “waste” your vote? All here want to talk about experience, especially you HRO supporters. What experience does she have? She carpet-bagged her way into the Senate. Prior to that, she had NO EXPERIENCE, if you want to give her points for being first lady, your nuts. That would be akin to saying I have piloting experience because my wife is a pilot.
The question of Obama being an “African American” or not, is also silly. By now this country should be past that. Obama is a man with a vision. With a little cooperation, after he is elected, he should do great things for the country.
Social Security is broke becuse of the BUSHES, both of them. Dad tought son how to raid that money. Those making over $100,000/yr should have to pay more into it, they will also collect. We need to get someone into the office of President that offers us something different, not nessesarily Obama…But he is getting my vote. As far as the stadium issue is concerned…I will be at the convention and, I know, that the Pepsi Center will not offer Obama the space to reach out to the most. As far as the date of his speech is concerned, do you reallyh think that he decided that day, no, that is scheduled by the DNC, and was decisded way before we knew which candidate was going to be the candidate. The location was also already decided. But, if Obama wants to go to a bigger venue, that’s up to him…the only part I really have interest in as far as that is concerned is….who is paying for it? The additional security costs alone will be tremendous.

HILLARY BEFORE MCCAIN!
MCCAIN BEFORE BO(?), BHO(?) BARRY(?)
COUNTRY BEFORE BROKEN DOWN DNC PARTY!!!

GOP- and the subprime mess goes back to 1976 when a Democartic congress forced the evil banks to give shaky loans in areas where people normally would not qualify. In 1995 under Clinton, those loans were securitized and allowed to be traded as instruments. In September of last year, the Democratic congress said student loan lenders were making too much money and passed a law to reduce the interest rates on Federal loans. When the credit crunch hit, the lenders said they could not make enough on the federal student loans to make a profit for the risk, so they dropped out of the program. Congress recently passed a rule to force the Dept of Education ( the govt) to finance these loans. In both cases the Democrats thought to regulate to punishes business. In both cases they caused the mess. When you mess with free markets, you’ll get burned every time. Obama will do worse.
Regulation and subsidies will always fail.

They will never find an arena big enough for Obama’s big head.

Another huge speech.,..I am getting Obama speech fatigue. How about some good old press conferences like other politicians.?

blah blah blah!!!
all of you clinton supporters need to move on and move forward … get a life
Obama 08!!

IF YOU HAVE NOTTING GOOD TO SAY,JUST DONT SAY ANYTHING..PERIOD

Have any grandiose candidates ever been elected president? The majority of Americans find politicians with superegos repulsive. This year’s election will be no different.

As a life long Democrat, I abhor Republicans and all that they stand for. However, I cannot bring myself to vote for Barak Obama. He is everything I loath in a politician or a person. He is arrogant, self-absorbed and has an unbelievable sense of entitlement for one with no experience or real accomplishments in his 46 years. He is also superficial, two-faced and deceitful – everything he does is to win the election. Yes, every politician has these traits but most don’t spend all their time selling themselves as paragons of virtue. He also is mentally lazy with only vague ideas and lofty rhetoric instead of concrete plans for “changing” our country’s direction.
It amazes me that the American public could be sold George Bush for 8 years and now is being sold a Black, liberal version of the same type of “flim flam” man. How stupid and gullible are they?!!

Questioner- If you did your research you’d fine McCain has disagreed with Bush on many things over the years. Especially how the Iraq war was conducted. His agreement now on the Bush tax cuts is because you don’t not raise taxes when the economy is slow. That is the worst thing that you can do. Also a person over many years can change their minds but a person who flips on an idea in 6 months to a year is a flipper and is changing to win votes like Obama.
Jade- Know you know how Republicans felt everytime we heard people say after 2000 that Bush stole the election. Of course you didn;t get over it and you kept on with complaining even though Bush won according to the Constitution. Well now I hope HC supporters keep bringing up how Obama stole the primary, just to annoy you.
