A Line That Probably Sounded Tougher to Obama Than It Did to McCain

Why isn’t anyone covering Obama’s abortion lies and the flap surrounding it? Obama claims it’s “offensive and insulting” to say he lied about it. That’s pretty powerful stuff to be completely ignored.

Jake can weigh in, but I think that story has trememdous legs where it counts. At some point the media will have no choice but to cover it.

It has been a joy watching the women’s gymnastics in the Olympics, tumbling, twisting, dancing, dreaming of gold. Obama does the same, ducking, hiding, bobbling in political gymnastics. He is a great showman.

This guy makes me feel so sick.
Who is he anyway?

Gosh someone make him stop before he hurst himself.
I wish he had that winning spirit when it came to Iraq.

Please America…come to your senses. Obama is the worst thing that could happen to your kids future or the future of this country.

I am a Democrat, but with Obama in the office worry me, how come for 20 years listen to Rev.Wright sermon and do nothing, until he runs for president. Day after day you hear lying thing that Obama said.

Obama will win this election, and McCain can go back to cheating on his wife, like he did to his previous wife, and left her in the kids for a woman 25 years younger than him, yes if you haven’t noticed Cindy McCain is 25 years younger than John McCain, he makes me sick.

And let’s leave Mc Cain’s first marriage out of these discussions. We are talking / posting about the next POTUS. Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone for the born agains on here.

Putsky, that’s a little bit too harsh, but I respect your sentiment. That being said, I have been one of the biggest Obama bashers, accusing him of being an elitist, especially after his San Francisco comments. After hearing him discuss his philosophy with Rick Warren I’ve decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. This will truly come down to who we want in office to make supreme court appointments, which I suppose is a higher pay grade than the Presidency. This country is split exactly 50-50 on that question, and the candidate’s personality doesn’t have anything to do with the question. I see McCain as way wrong for the country on Supreme Court appointments. I respect that others see it exactly the opposite. If McCain takes it I hope that the Supremes will hold on for four years until the baton passes to Hillary. I actually think that Hillary and Obama would appoint the same caliber people.

It is amazing how the same people who call abortions evil won’t speak out against unprovoked war.
Don’t you think babies and children die when bombs fall and bullets fly?
Do you have any idea of how many children go hungry every day, even in the U.S.? In 2006 12 million children lived in households with food ‘insecurity’. In other words without enough food for the family. I’m sure it is a much higher number now with the higher costs for fuel and rising food prices. And that is just in our country. So if someone truly cares about babies and children, they should be concerned about helping these hungry families.
Obama’s plans for our country are sound and will help our middle-class and poor fellow citizens have a better life. This is truly the only way to have a strong country.

pls go away you should see the way Democrats act at election sites in the big cities. They use extreme force. Your right we need international observers to keep a fair election in this country. Yes we headed for CHNAGE. But the change nobody realizes is that its for the worse. This country will go backwards for now on thanks to the Democrats

putsky
wow, what happened in big cities?

-Obama’s plans for our country are sound and will help our middle-class and poor fellow citizens have a better life. – lydia
right, since he has such a provvvveeeennn record with the poor of his congressional district. a big fat ZZZERROO

Not that I want to argue Obama’s case, but he did make a good case for speaking up against genocide, human trafficking, unjust wars, and providing educational resources so that more women would not have abortions. Frankly, I don’t hear the right speaking up on these important issues of human life, which I think is truly a moral failure. Isn’t it time that you show some consistency in your position?

- Our president, posing with bikini babes in China while Russia rolls into Georgia??-
And what should Bush have done?

i know right, just like mccain had to defend himself against the smear about his daughter being a black baby he had with the “other woman” !
people can smell a phony. lol

debra that was sarcasm !
i was saying people believed it.
just like they believe the smears about obama.

tell my bank account that then please!

I sure after eight year of bush the answers is no.

what health care system is in kenya and indonesia?

Please don’t stoop down to the level of either McCain or Obama supporters whose only point is to insult the other candidate based on questionable information. Both McCain and Obama want to bridge the gap between both parties, so just smearing the character of either candidate is stupid. I am an Obama supporter but I’m not going to attack McCain. The only reason you should criticize a candidate is because of their policies, not because they’re un-American.

Yes, Obama really gets things done and improves lives. Just ask those people still in their dire straits in Chicago. Lol.
What a fraud. Thank GOD he will lose in November!

It’s amazing that the supporters of McCain seem to think this guy has not changed his mind about anything, and IN FACT, he has switched his position on EVERY MAJOR ISSUE to get the support of the right-wing nut cases of the GOP !!!
As usual, the GOP uses themes to describe the opponent. . .and actually it DESCRIBES THEMSELVES !!!! Classic.
One problem this year. . IT WON’T WORK.
There are many progressive internet sites; radio; blogs, etc. . .which EXPOSE McCAIN for the fraud he is. . . .because just because he was a POW, DOES NOT MAKE HIM PRESIDENTIAL.
He has to Earn that position like everyone else. . . .so with his $$$$, and lies, and Corporate lobbyists, he thinks we can’t put it all together !!
Obama may not be the Best candidate, but to continue the superficial, “I’m a legend in my own mind”, Bush administration policies, would be a disaster for this country !!!!!

It sounds like a desperate call to the Lady of the Pant Suit.
I am ready to take George 50-1 bluff bet

Sorry, dl, but Biden said today that he is not the man. (Actually, Biden would have made a good POTUS, but early on Obama’s team called him a racist because he called Obama “clean.” Remember?)

If Barack Obama is a front for crony-Tax&Spend democrats looking at a population like wolves-looking a frozen deer carcas(not so much in the head-lights)..I quess you can include the Ted Kennedy politics that search for a “Clean” candidate..Front-ism..and Tax&Spend–like a human play in jobs..you get what(??)..cheap history.

And Obama’s so intent on winning he’s looking for more cash! And let’s see how he’s getting it — by charing fat cats $1,000 for good seats to his coronation speech. And I believe really big donors can lounge about in the luxury seats.
So really, this whole “bring the speech to the people” was more a way to turn his acceptance/coronation speech into a massive fundraiser.
Hmmm, remember how santimonious Obama was about not taking public funding? What a hypocrite.
[[Barack Obama’s big-money donors are being offered premier seats to his acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, according to information obtained by The Denver Post.
Top fundraisers for the “Obama Victory Fund” were offered club-level seats through the end of Monday for $1,000 apiece. Also, the biggest donors to the Democratic National Convention’s host committee and select VIPs are getting ultra-plush suites at Invesco.
The Obama campaign and its partners at the Democratic National Convention Committee have 8,300 club-level seats. If all were purchased, it could mean a cash infusion of $8.3 million.
That can be added to the million-dollar price tag the DNCC has put on the luxury suites at Invesco. All in all, the acceptance speech delivered by Barack Obama is turning out to be a fundraising bonanza for a party looking to sell out to the kinds of contributors Obama publicly eschewed in June:]]

On TV last night one commentator said as of Tuesday according to the polls if the election were held on Tuesday that McCain would win in the electorial college. that tuesday was the first time that mccain would win according to the polls. Obama is going down fast. apparently his recent TV debate killed himself at that church.
Obama’s communist marxist ideology is also getting through to the public.
Maybe Hillary is correct that Obama can not get elected. What did she see in Obama that would stop him from election.
As a life long loyal Democrat I want nothing to do with Obama.

The press mantra has begun…
“The Republicans are tough…the Democrats are weak.
The roles have already been established by the media (based on McCain’s celebrity attack ads), and there’s no turning back.
Great job, media! What’s it like eating directly out of McCain’s hands?

Were I McCain I would take his threat seriously. Obama looks pretty, sounds pretty but if you look at how he won his first seat in Illinois by “back stabbing” his opponent and then the people that” I didn’t know them as being like this” now under the wheels of his bus. For all the years we heard the moans and groans of democrats whining about the money republicans had and now seeing box seats to the “well heeled” being sold to Obamas grand acceptance speech – it does my heart good to see hypocrites in action. If one has to volunteer time in order to get a glance at Obama whats next, a ten spot on the way in to pull the handle for the man?

DemocratNoMore2, you wrote: “Obama’s communist marxist ideology is also getting through to the public.” The latest Reuters/Zogby poll has McCain UP by 5 points!
With years of tutelage from Frank Marshall Davis and later Saul Alinsky; twenty years of mentoring by the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.; and some spiritual advising by Father Michael Pfleger; it is impossible to believe that Sen. Obama does not share at least some of their radical views.
Wake up America! Do your homework before you vote in November. If you share these radical beliefs then Sen. Obama is your man. The Left will call you a racist for not voting for Sen. Obama. Don’t fall for that! Race has nothing to do with it! If you disagree with these radical ideas and theology, then vote for someone other than Sen. Obama.

The polls don’t mean much until after Labor Day.
But John McCain should watch his back. The Democrats in Chicago are known for “voting early and voting often”. Democrats just don’t see “dead” people -they let “dead” people vote.

I agree Angie, the polls are pretty meaningless at this point. But they sure do cause the pundits to speculate. I’ve had to stop watching cable TV because its become so asinine.

The media has been wrong before. Many times, in fact. Just because Jake says it, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s so. Don’t forget, Obama was on vacation last week and McCain was firing his big guns at him, and the polls barely moved.
Not a time to panic or gloat.

ChrisNBama, I agree with you. My take is that the media plays this up just like a major sporting event with the intention of attracting viewers, which in turn attracts advertisers, which in turn pumps money into the “news” corps., which in turn trickles down into the pockets of the punditry.
Cable news is bad, and unfortunately the so called MSM are following right behind.

I guess Obama didn’t catch up to McCain in the hallways of Congress to push him around and give him a stern talking to. Lieberman must have warned JMc that Bad Bama was a’comin’.
Threatening wrinkly old white haired guys has a way of looking thuggish. Obama doesn’t look the part so the walk and the talk don’ jibe.
Obama looks silly when he tries to get tough. I guess because his being humorless, it is hard to tell the difference. One thing is certain, given recent world events, Americans won’t vote for a guy who can’t make it believable because he is passionless in a fight.

Of course McCain doesn’t have a freaking clue about anything except getting himself elected.
He doesn’t understand the economy. He thinks your middle class if you make 3 million a year. He has 10 mansions, owns his own jet, and shops for shoes like Imelda Marcos.

Lot’s of “independents” too! LOL.

Cincyr, you wrote: “I think they’re (the Obama campaign) saving all their ammo for the fall campaign.”
There is just one more week before the roll call vote. Now that one poll has Sen. McCain up by five, IF others show a similar lead within the next couple of days there may be some vote-switching going on next week. Sen. Clinton only needs about 3 switched votes per state to rob Sen. Obama of the nomination.
You Obama supporters tout Sen. Obama’s great judgment. Sen. Obama should NEVER have allowed Sen. Clinton to have BOTH a speech and a roll call vote. There was nothing he could do to stop a roll call vote since Sen. Clinton had more than the required signatures to place her name in nomination. HOWEVER, Sen. Obama could have told her that she gets one…either the roll call vote OR the speech, but not both. Sen. Obama used his “great judgment” to let the Clintons right back into the picture!

John Mcain is not a presidential material, the WORLD is now in big caos, so we need someone who would NOT start a war, just because we want to as Bush and Mcain did,but let use all other option what we have and we would NOT loose so many Young lives. So people wake up, we had enough of Bush-s and Clintons, we need a new blood in the WHITE HOUSE. Marika from Texas

Comrade Obama said, we are not allowed to question his patriotism.
