Biden’s Stock Rises in Obama Vice Presidential Speculation

Gravitas? heh. I can think of many words to describe Joe Biden. Gravitas would not be one of them.

Please dont be the other Edwards. Now is not the time for a get to know you tea. We need experience, drive, guts and tennacity. We need Hillary on the ticket. Obama/Hillary 08

oh you sore loser hillary supporters.. she is backing obama and so should you other wise we will have more evil bushies like mccain .

When the Dems got together early on and had all of them debate together, I remember one of the last things the moderator asked was for each one to look at the candidate next to him/her and say what they liked about him/her. Biden turned to the person on his left and said he liked the guy’s wife. Hilarious.

They are playing tape on H & C of Biden saying he would not accept a VP offer, some months back. Wish he would stay true to his word.

we dems always find a way to lose. biden has a big mouth and is out there. hillary could unite the party but obama is too proud to select a strong woman. obama has made his decision; so have i; this dem is voting mccain.

Biden has no economic experience.
Obama and Biden have never been governor, never run a business, never been on economic committees.
Obama should have picked someone with business and economic experience because Obama has no economic education.

No matter who Obama picks please understand that it will be Obama who people do not vote for and Biden will be a temporary bounce next week. Biden will be a riot in any VP debate tying to limit his answers to the actual questions asked (Joe has a big problem with diarrhea of the mouth).
Hillary supporters are ready to cause problems next week, should be fun.

Biden had the lousy idea of splitting Iraq into three parts for the sunnis, shiites, and kurds which would have been a disaster.
Kirkuk would have had an all out civil war under Biden’s plan to split up the region from the kurds, shiites and sunnis.

Debra
Like I said last night debra, who cares? Like Hillary, you’re a loser! You can vote for anyone you like but Obama is going to win! Your posts are so boring! I’m voting McCain….I’m voting McCain! It doesnt’ matter! Like Hillary and McCain, you’re a loser!

Debra – he said – “he was not seeking the VP” but that he would serve if his county if called upon him! Big Difference!
The HRC supporters need to think about the “Clinton Baggage” who wnats to go through this “crap” for the next four years! It’s always something with them -they are either being sued or investigated!! We cannot get bogged down in that garbage – we have to move forward as a nation – Use HRC’s strenghts – that would be Secretary of State – anything else is going to demean and incompasitate her and her ability to effectively serve our nation.

ron
How could she unite us? With Bosnia stories? She is a shrew to the Obama supporters. As a woman she has no credibility with me. Staying with that perv Bill afeter years of humiliation in the hope that she could someday run for president? Dream on!

Scott NH;How old is McClain? he’s running for president, one foot in the grave.

roxanne, I have been reading these posts and the disrespect that Obama supporters show for Hillary confirms to me that Obama supporters do not want Hillary voters support. So be it, I’m voting for McCain.

James
He’s doing a pretty good job of running his campagin which is more than you could say for Clinton who is 23 million dollars in debt!

ROBERT
Fortunately there are not enough of those idiost to make a difference!

All you Hilliary lovers will be going crazy that he didn’t pick her. I hope Obama will be saft with Hilliay nutting ones.

If Hillary is not on this ticket, I will be voting for McCain period! The only reason that Hillary should not be on this ticket is if she was offered it and did not accept it. I hope Obama makes the right decision or he will not be the next President of the United States!

James;if he had choosen someone stronger on ecomony I am sure you would say than he needed someone one with more foreign policy skills—-you people!

hillay is a disgrace and too arrogant like her followers..BIDEN is the man..

Ahhh…White Mountain! Hate to break it to yeah, but GW ain’t in this race fella! And don’t even get me started on the hacks that like to suggest John is McSame!

You crazy Hillary nutters, STFU. Biden is a much better choice than Hillary. Besides Bill did not want to hand over his shady financial records and do we really want one of Bill’s girlfriends as an October surprise??
Obama/Biden 08

jerry
Well at least you’ve finally got it! As I said, fortunately there are not enough of you to make a difference! If there were more of you, she would have won!

Hussein picked himself!
Go McCain!
Hillary 2012!

All of these Hillary suppporters can you please tell me why you all have not retired her debt??? Some of you diehard bitter enders seem to not put your money where your mouth is.
Hypocrites.

During one of Biden’s caucus stops in Iowa, he brought up that he had given a speech on Sept 10, 2001 about military spending in which he said our biggest threat wasn’t an inter-continential missle but a terrorist attach such as in backpack or belly of a plane. I found the speech text and he really did say it. Biden has a level of understanding of the international issues and threats that we haven’t had in the WH for some time.

If Obama picks Biden, the age argument is out the window.
Biden is of the McCain generation, and he is much more cynical and vindictive.
But, why not pick Biden?
Biden has lost in every one of his own runs for President.
Why not lose as a candidate for Vice President for the empty suit?
Jesse Jackson had the best plan for Obama’s future.
Obama/Jackson ’08

Hillary supporter; some of these messages or not from Obama supporter the repubs will do anything to keep the flames high!

I love Joe Biden, but agree with Michael: “no Hillary, no go. Obama’s arrogance will do him in.” Even for Biden, I wouldn’t vote Democratic for the first time in my life. I can’t vote for McCain but I can certainly write Hillary in.
The Democratic party had the election wrapped up and, in typical fashion, will manage to screw this up by going for sparkle over experience. Their lack of loyalty to Hillary, who earned it, will do them in. Five years from now, people will be saying, “whatever happened to that Obama guy after he lost the election?”

Hillary sucks or maybe she doesn’t and that’s why Bill did what he did. Anyway, please Obama anyone but the crazy lady!

Did they s on their people today or what? Can’t you give a brother a break and let it go a day before you give the big speech. I am not happy. Hillary should be the pick. I love Joe Biden but come on people! He has a very big chance of losing!

Question, why has Obama waited until saturday Morning to announce his VP? Is it because of pressure from Hillary?
It seems this has gone on too long.
If its Biden, why the suspense? and if it is Biden, who is Mr. washington, can Obama really claim to be the candidate of Change? Actually, I’m rooting for Chet “the Jet” Edwards, the dark horse, who is , in reality, John Edwards secret half brother and the real father of Reil Hunters baby!

if you vote mcshame that mean this counrty will go further recession and the rich will get richer and the poor get poorer. mccain left his first wife just to marry his new wife why you don’t not all the republican are not supporting him. to all the little children that supported hillary your need to suckit up , get over it, grow up and do the right this for your children, the next generation and this country. mccain is a airhead republican just like bush.

Obama: “I want a V.P. who will challenge my thinking”.
Dear Voters,
We sent out letters to the “National Undergraduate Teachers Society for Kids in Kindergarten” (N.U.T.S.K.I.K.) for short. All of the teachers said they were not interested.
In fact, when word got out that kindergarten teachers were being solicited for the V.P. slot, kindergartner’s across the country planned mass protest. Their spokes-child, Career kindergartner Nancy Pelousey replied “We object to us being compared to someone like Obama, his qualifications make him an irrelevant candidate for class president, let alone President of the United States”.
Sincerely,
N.U.T.S.K.I.K.
P.S. We chose Nancy Pelousey, career kindergartner to represent us because, she was the only cry baby who could best represent the intellectual diversity of our six year old constituency.

Hillary underestimated Obama and look where she is now. An also ran! I just love all the angst from you Hillary and McCain supporters! The geezer is toast!

No Hillary on the ticket and McCain gets my vote. Who would be so stupid enough not to vet the person who got 18 million votes and is so arrogant he thinks he can win without her. I’ve had it with the Dem Elite.

ragnar30066 |
Blah Blah Blah! He’s done what he could. The fact is that his supporters don’t give a dam about the debt of someone who’s tax returns showed that she and Bill have over 109 million dollars. Why haven’t the 18 million voters she claims to have had donate just $1 dollar? Or was that more BS? Clearly it was! Obama is going to win so all of you haters can suck it! Suck it hard!

No Hillary on the ticket and McCain gets my vote. Who would be so stupid enough not to vet the person who got 18 million votes and is so arrogant he thinks he can win without her. I’ve had it with the Dem Elite.

Um, the same people who voted for him and knocked her fat ass out of the primaries! Does that ansewer your question?

John and Cindy- the Family Values team-
except that John left his first wife after she had the bad taste to be in an accident, so he could marry a multi-millionaire trophy wife 20 years his younger.
And except that Cindy’s dad left his first wife in a similar fashion, and then stiffed his daughter by that marriage, leaving all of the cash to- Cindy. Did Cindy right this wrong by sharing some of the hundred or so million she inherited from their dad with her half-sister? No, in fact publicly she pretends that her half-sister does not exist.
So there you have it- fidelity, fairness, generosity, honesty- pretty much all of the Christian values in this one lovely if age-mismatched couple.

iam sorry but Obama is going to pick Hillary. Hillary has Obama by the balls. The numbers show that Obama can not win unless he gets all 18m Hillary’s supporters not half of them. Sorry but it will be Hillary/Obama ticket.

Yipeee! Pick Biden! He’s so “clean and articulate” (except for that plagerism thingie).. He also is a bigot, one time saying you couldn’t go into a 7-eleven without seeing an Indian guy (or something like that)…
McCain in a landslide!

According to Obama’s words several months ago, he wants and needs to unite the party behind him so that his base can be strong enough and he can focus more on reaching out to undecideds and independents. The only way to unite 36 million primary voters is to pick the candidate who got 18 million of those votes as his vice presidential nominee….Hillary Clinton. As always, STOP JUDGING HILLARY BASED ON BILL. If anything, Bill did good for this country (budget surplus, low unemployment rate, peaceful times, no nonsense wars)….In any case, Hillary has her own credentials, experience, and history. SHE IS QUALIFIED FOR PRESIDENT AND OVERQUALIFIED FOR VP!
OBAMA/CLINTON 2008

HILLARY 2012.
oh by the way has anyone noticed that this election is getting boring?

I just don’t get it-
WHAT DOES LIKING HILLARY CLINTON HAVE TO DO WITH VOTING FOR McCAIN ?????
THEY HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON.
McCain opposes the policies that Hillary ran on. Obama’s policies are almost identical to Hillary’s.
Please, sit down, take a deep breath, and try to remember who Hillary Clinton is, what she meant to you, and why you supported her. Then look at Obama and McCain and make an intelligent choice.

Why would any women vote for McCain when he has one of the worst records of voting women’s rights. You have me shaking my head here.

MCcain=Bush,How smart can a person be that doesn’t even know what kind of car they drive ?

Alan
I don’t think so! She is the Senator from New York. A carpetbagger at best. Why didn’t she run as the Senator from Arkansas. She basically ran because her husband was a former president. As for her experience…it’s limited to her failure to get her healthcare bill passed and that Bosnia story was the final nail in her coffin. A gaffe is one thing… Obama’s 57 state gaffe but she repeated that bullshit Bosnia story several times before the press finally pulled the footage and called her out on it. Fact it, she mismanaged her campagin and couldn’t make the tough decisions when it counted. As for PUMA, as I’ve stated on this post many times without one of you disputing it, they have raised just $50,000 dollars! Obama rasied 7.8 million dollars on Tuesday in San Franciso on Tuesday. Now that’s what I’d call enthusiasim. If Hillary is so great, why hasn’t she been able to retire her debt! You’re all delusional!

D-ic-k Morris said tonight on FOX Hillary supporters are going to be a big problem for Obama and McCain should pick (a woman who’s name I can’t recall). It IS a great idea…I wish there was a credible Rep woman out there that Reps could embrace….I wish Hill could be McCain’s choice…he is so bipartisan and everyone knows his record for working across the isle .

THIS TEXT MESSAGE GIMMICK IS A FAILED ATTEMPT TO BRING SOME EXITEMENT BACK INTO A CAMPAIGN THAT HAS GONE FLAT, EXCEPT THE EXCITEMENT LEVEL DROPPED WHEN HILLARY LEFT AND WON’T COME BACK TILL 2012
HILLARY 2012.
Posted by: al
It won’t be any different in 2012. She still won’t get the nomination. She be even older, fatter and more jowley faced.

Biden withdrew from the Presidential Election in shame during the NH Primary in 1988 for plagiarizing, word for word, a speech presented by someone else in England.
Obama is just another Chicago-land political hack with very disconcerting associations.
This time, I am sorry, I have to vote for the moderate in the election: Senator McCain.

I USE TO LIKE OBAMA’S SPEECHES BUT I’M TIRED OF THE SAME NON STOP TALK ABOUT THE SAME NON STOP CHANGE. JOE BIDEN HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN IN THE SENATE?

Caroline Kennedy, that would have represented change I could believe in.
Hillary-to much baggage, beside we’d have to cancel the intern program at th Veeps office with bill back.

Lets get the show on the road, Everyone vote for who you want. Either Obama or Mccain will be president. If the democrats lose,it will be the end for both obama and clinton for president.
Americans, and most democrats, are sick
of the child like pettiness that has come from supporters of clinton and obama. It is an embarrassment to those of us other democrats who hoped it would be our turn to really change and
help more of the little guys, and bring
back the middle class.

Obama better be getting that bump in the polls after the circus in Denver. Wish the Edwards affair had come out today instead, wouldn’t that have been fun?
If Obama had got the bump after Hill dropped out and another bump after the world tour he would be closer to that 15 point bump the Repubs want to see.

The Dally Bama says:
Guess who my running mate is. No really guess. I will anounce Wed, no I will announce Thurs, No I will annouce Fri. No no I will announce on Saturday.

I knew he was the junior senator, it turns out he is not even Junior High School level while playing grade school level guessing games. Nanny Nanny Boo Boo!!!!! Nanny Nanny Boo Boo!!!!!
Go home for 8 years and try again when you grow up NoBama.

Hillary underestimated Obama and look where she is now. An also ran! I just love all the angst from you Hillary and McCain supporters! The geezer is toast!
_______________________
Zogby reported today McCain LEADS Obama by FIVE percent. The angst is yours. It just hasn’t sunk in yet.

This country is in a big mess. It is only important who will actually do something and serve the country. Not line the pockets of a select special interests.

I SEE OBAMA AND I SEE THE SAME GOOD OLDE POLITICS I’VE SEEN FOR DECADES, HE IS SUPPORTED BY THAT FAMOUS CANIDIATE OF CHANGE TED KENNEDY WHO HAS BEEN IN THE SENATE SINCE 1963 AND STILL WON’T LEAVE WITH BRAIN CANCER AND ALSO SUPPORTED BY CHRIS DODD THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE BANKING COMMITTE WHO DID NOT KNOW HE HAD A VIP MORTGAGE FROM COUNTRY WIDE. REMEMBER THAT LINE FROM THE GODFATHER II “SENATOR WHERE ALL PART OF THE SAME HYPCRISY”

I think it time for respect we are the supportor not the manouvers or the manipulators we must respect the elect chioce from His best political judgement in respect to whom is best fit for the task that’s the it will be in a competition is two team that compete in this case it’s senator Barack Obama and senator MCcain in it will be Barack Obama because is evrybody choice.God Bless you and God Bless America and please be strong do your Home work make your calls of support for Barack in put your on trade mark on this election and elect senator Barack Obama president of the United states of America and it is for republicans and independent and Democrate one nation under God a United states of America yes this what Barack Obama wants and I believe it’s achievable we just have to make it happen “yes we can” yes we can”thank’s God almighty yes wecan and we will.

My fellow republicans, you are so amusing toying with these dems.

I’LL TELL YOU THIS I KNEW EDWARDS WAS CHEATING ON HIS WIFE (HE WSA A PRETTY BOY ) AND I SUSPECT THE SAME OF BIDEN. (NO PRETTY BOY BUT HE HAS A BIG EGO AND HE’S BBEN IN THE SENATE FOR 36 YEARS. POWER GOES TO BOTH HEADS)

REZKO REMEMBER THAT NAME

NOW I SEE WHY EDWARDS WAS SO RUDE TO HILLARY , HE HAS NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN.

Is Biden the guy that lied when he ran for Pres? Whoops…..silly me. He’s a democrat. Forgive me for being redundant….

REZKO REMEMBER THAT NAME
Posted by: al
Why? He’s not going to be president. He’s been indicted, not Obama!

without Hillary, obama will lose……with her, he might have a chance…..

Interesting that Obama said he would not have picked Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court because of a lack of experience and then in a television commercial accuses McCain as being part of the problem in Congress because of his 25 years in the senate. Evidently he does not hold the same standard for experience for being President and it must be okay to be VP (assuming he picks Biden) after being in the Senate for 26 years.

WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER PEOPLES HOUSES OBAMA SHOULD MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS. BOTTOM LINE IF YOU LOOK AT HIS 1.6 MILLION CHICAGO HOUSE PURCHASE IT STINKS BAD.

Thank you erin! I’ve been saying that for months! I think it’s a mistake to discount the cell phone crowd. They are not being polled and that is what I think will be the crux of the landslide for Obama!

obama’s represented to be the messiah and mccain is represented to be the status quo of the worst president in American history……why then, are the polls so close, with mccain ahead in the most important poll, the electoral college vote?

I GUESS OBAMA HAS ALOT IN COMMON WITH MANY AMERICANS, HE WANTED MORE HOUSE THEN HE COULD AFFORD. MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE ASKED SENATOR CHRIS DODD FOR A REFERRAL FROM COUNTRY WIDE.

WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER PEOPLES HOUSES OBAMA SHOULD MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS. BOTTOM LINE IF YOU LOOK AT HIS 1.6 MILLION CHICAGO HOUSE PURCHASE IT STINKS BAD.

Not as bad as not knowing how many houses you have and your campaign manager pulling the old POW card. Pathetic! Much like his candidate! Nice try but like McCain you have no defense of his bullshit attempt at this man of the people crap!

Biden’s actual EXACT comment on video:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
There is a campaign ad waiting to happen.
Yasss suhhhh maser biden you sho nuff be right bout that. the res of us uns, we aint got no good engllishh and wwee anint had no baths for longgg timmeeee. yep maser biden thattt obammy he be a storryyy boook sho nuffff maser biden suhhhh. he be awwfulll bright and cleannn for a blackk mannn huh maser biden man – you racist pricckkkkkk.

The only thing more disturbing about the US than the fact that there are so many Republicans, is the fact that there are so many Hillary supporters. Feel free to vote for The Cranky Old Coot, you pathetic whiny sore losers, but also feel free to drop dead.

hopesprings52
But you can’t have it both ways. On the one hand people say Obama doesn’t have enough experience but if he picks someone who does, there will naturally be some risks. I think that Bieden would be great! Despite what the media says he’s just the kind of straight talker that Obama needs. I particularly liked his description of Guliani. A noun, a verb and nine eleven. As someone who works at the World Financial Center which is right in the pit of where the Towers fell I’m sick of that clown and I love the fact that they have Guliani, another adulterer speaking at their convention. Birds of a feather!

we dems always find a way to lose. biden has a big mouth and is out there. hillary could unite the party but obama is too proud to select a strong woman. obama has made his decision; so have i; this dem is voting mccain.

Ok.. So lets just show the world how the “Princess syndrome” works. I don’t get my way, then I’m going to go somewhere else to play. Then we can wait another couple of hundred years before a woman is nominated.

You’re so right! I can’t understand why Hillary’s supporters don’t get this. Actually I can. They can’t handle the truth. If the country thought she was so great, Obama would not have won! Her supporters continue to say that the election was stolen from her when it was her own history and incompetence that sunk her! We saw her for what she is and they refused to do so!

Time for your medication “Nanny Nanny Boo Boo”

Great! Biden and Obama….that would certainly round out the conceit and megalomania! At least Biden can complete a sentence without sounding like a blithering idiot.

Mike A in Iowa:
Did u watch the Roberts Supreme Court Hearing that Biden chaired? He bloviated for his 15 minutes and didn’t even ask a question! There are many other occasions he has done the same at Senate hearings – that’s why he is a windbag.
On Iraq, he supported the war and his solution was to divide country in 3 – more places for terrorists to hide.
How can Obama pick someone who voted for the Iraq war? He’s based his campaign against Hillary and McCain on having the right judgment on Iraq.

Regardless of all comments posted I recalled an article during the aftermath of the last presidential campaign between Bush and Kerry stating “Is 500,000 American that dumb?” I just wanted to let you guys know I know some of you were in that crowd so please don’t make that same mistake for the rest of us again. The choice for the next President of the United States should be crystal clear here, come on now.

OM
That’s because there’s no story. Do yor homework! The couple that the Obama’s bought the house from said that the Obama’s made 3 bids and they took the third one. The deal you’re talking about was a purchase of part of the lot next to the property that Obama bought from Rezko’s wife. In hind sight Obama said that it was a boneheaded decison given that Tony Rezko had contributed to his campaign for the Senate. Stop watching faux new and read up on the facts!

It should be made Federal Law…
The Legal Manadatory Age(s) to run for President of the USA will be…..
Minimum Age: 45
Maximum Age: 57
Nothing More, Nothing Less.
I Like Biden..But he’s Too Old !!
Biden also Tends to Talk Too Much !!!

If it is Biden, get ready for the biggest GOP landslide ever!!! Because Obama is so jaw-droppingly stupid, choosing Biden would just provide more evidence of the mental void. Biden is a megalomaniac (pathological egotist), and that is bad for “The ONE”. What a screwed up bunch the Democrotches are!

Please vote for Nader, your definitely
not Democrat or Republican material.

Biden’s an excellent pick. He’s experienced, yet he still is a breath of fresh air and represents change. Absolutely the best pick at this point.
Hillary would have been okay, but she showed that her management skills were very poor, with a collapsing campaign and so much debt. She had anger problems and mood swings. Biden is the best pick.

“Obama and Biden have never been governor, never run a business, never been on economic committees.
Obama should have picked someone with business and economic experience because Obama has no economic education.”
You couldn’t be more wrong. Obama ran a spectacularly successful campaign, built from the ground up, which is why he defeated Hillary, despite the fact that she had every possible advantage.

Source: Clinton has been told she’s not the VP pick
Posted: 11:01 PM ET
From CNN Correspondent Jessica Yellin
Clinton has been informed she will not be Obama’s VP.
Clinton has been informed she will not be Obama’s VP.
(CNN) – Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama has ruled out Senator Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate, a senior Democratic official told CNN on Friday night.
Clinton — Obama’s main rival during the primary season — has been informed by Obama’s campaign that she is not his choice to be his vice presidential candidate, the source said.
Filed under: Barack Obama • Hillary Clinton

Okay, it’s a deal. Don’t vote for Obama this time and I won’t vote for Hillary next time. Let’s see, we are currently suffering through eight years of the worst presidential term in history and McCain will continue that. I don’t think I’ll need to vote in 2012. Given the damage Bush has done and the continuation with McCain, I’m not sure.

Obama economics 101 “Our 482 billion dollar deficit is reprehensible”
I pulled figures from the census (Census.Gov) and here is what I found.
The least Obama’s health plan will cost is
422 Billion dollars first year.
His plan to give every family in America
$1.000 Dollars= 311 Billion dollars.
Total Just 2 of his programs:
733 BILLION (with a B) dollars,
These two of his programs (not counting his other major financial programs) represents 1.2 Trillion dollars
in new spending. This represents 48.7% of the governments total take in taxes in 2007. (2.437 Trillion dollars)
This represents for the 153.6 million working Americans a NEW tax burden of
$7,812.50 for everyone.
How will Obama pay for this: Defense Department your fired! Hey Putin/Mevedev
we are eagerly awaiting you to annex the U.S. as a suburb of Russia.
Obama President…this will end racism,
cause we all gonna be his negro’s!

Roone,
No, I did not watch the Senate hearings or Roberts’ confirmation hearings. I’ve heard/read what you say before, but when I went to campaign events in Iowa, I got good, direct info. If the issue is as bad you would like to believe, I think he’s worked to minimize it.
He didn’t publish the 3-state solution until after the civil war issues. The 3-state solution would lead to a much more peaceful settlment. To which terrorist do you refer? We can’t find them in Pakistan/Afganistan what does it matter if Iraq is one or 3 countries?
Obama can pick someone who voted for the war because you don’t always have to agree. I wouldn’t expect the VP to be a parrot.

MOST OF YOU WHO TALK ABOUT AGE ARE SO WET BEHIND THE EARS AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IT REALLY TAKES TO BE GREAT, BUT SOME OF YOU WILL LEARN.

Sorry, Experience and age are not homogeneously
entwined in this case. Running a country is not the
same as running a business.

I guarantee you Hillary Kool-Aid drinkers that a vote for McCain in ’08 is not a vote for Hillary in 2012. If you can hold your noses long and hard enough to vote for that moron (McCain) for President, then you get the country you deserve, and you were never Democrats to begin with. Also, if it looks like Hillary is only going through the motions for Obama while hoping for a turn in 2012, that turn is not going to come. You might want to look more along the lines of Obama/Biden ’08–Obama/Clinton ’12. If those of you who are not Rethuglican trolls are seriously thinking of voting for John “I Don’t Know How Many Houses I Own” McCain as some kind of protest for Clinton losing the nomination, you might want to plan on Clinton running as a Republican in ’12–if Obama doesn’t win because of your petty malfeasance, you and she won’t be as welcome as you think you’re going to be.

Popular votes won should be the system…won’t help Hillary now but maybe the next best Dem candidate (2012) will have the benefit.

Looks like McCain has my vote now

: geocoo
You’re so right! I’m sick of reading the post of those idiots. Obama is going to win and it’s killing them. They can see the writing on the wall and there lashing out with some of the stupidest comments I’ve seen. I’m so tired of them. I’d like to line them all up and btch slap them….you know, like Obama did to Hillary! I read the other day that she had some work done on her face. Too bad you can’t get a personality transplant!

I still remember when Biden plagiarized that British politician’s speech and misappropriated his life story — similar to what Hillary did with the sniper fire in Bosnia. This is like a train wreck waiting to happen — so sad. I’m voting for McCain, and I am sure there will be millions of other Dems like me who do the same.

dave rappoport
Actually dave you’re right. He is married. Or more accurate, he’s remarried. His first wife and infant daughter were killed in a car accident. His two boys survived the accident and his sister moved in with the family right after the accident. His is a tragic and triumphant american story. Most of the idiots on this post don’t have a clue because they don’t do their homework. Typical McCain and Hillary supporters!

I am so so very sad that I find myself entertaining hateful thoughts. So sorry hillary. You are the best. i used to thing that Obama was OK but 2nd rate next to u. Now i find him despicable.

roxanne,
I really think you need to take a look at our site. You would especially find it interesting…
http://www.womenforjohnmccain.com/
After you look maybe you can help us spread the word to all McCain supporters and Hillary PUMA women…

Just wondering BUT, What if Hillary won by ohh lets say 200 votes like the chosen one will next week and she didn’t even vet the chosen one for veep. How many of you obama fans would be pissed at her. Be honest . So Im sure since you don’t care about half the democratic party you wont complain when we vote for Mccain. The chosen one failed to unite our party, how pathetic.

Only if they’re on crystal meth. The fact is that the story you’re talking about was similar to Bieden’s and he’d credited that person every time but once. The difference is that Hillary’s story was just that…a story. She made the whole thing up because it sounded more dramatic. That’s the kind of experience the majority of us rejected! It was complete bullshit!

Steve C
Who’s still leading? The only reason that the Obama camp is likely prolonging this is because of the gift from McCain. He’s toast and you can all suck it! Suck it hard!

I can’t wait to see who McGoo picks.

Will you guys shut up with the ayers and Rezko Crap? I don’t care that he bought a house from some developer who bribed somebody. Obama had nothing to do with it, it’s a load of crap. As for Ayers, Obama was 6 years old and didn’t know ayers when Ayers did the vandalism. Obama met ayers when he was a college professor, serving with republicans and others on a board.
Obama had nothing to do with them and should have to answer for every action that every person he know ever did. It’s just ludacris
Mccain was involved in Keating 5 corruption himself, and should be held to account for that since HE DID IT.

I Agree
Some of these Racist-Bigots are So Fearful and Scared to Death of Obama…
Yet they Embrace the Most Feeble Minded, Dull, Wealthy, Career Politician to ever represent the Republican Party since, well…
Since George W. Bush Jr himself and I would have to say Bush Jr. is a Brighter an More Brilliant Light Bulb, than…
John “Semi-Senile” McCain and that says a lot, when comparing Bush Jr. to John “Semi-Senile” McCain !!!

Gerri Ferraro? She’s a bitter, old, and wrinkled up hag whose ovaries atrophied a long time ago and she’s also a loser! No wonder she supports Hillary.
As for Hannity and Combs. Sean Hannity is a pigged face loser who actually quoted Corsi’s book on his show and attributed a quote to Obama that was actually made by Rev. Wright. Now this probably pleases you but did you know that this same scum bag Corsi also wrote an article about McCain where he said that his campaign in 2000 was partially funded by Al Qaeda? At least now we know why your comments are so off base and misinformed. Once again, I emplore you to do your homework and stop watching Fox News! It’s owned by Rupert Murdoch. He’s a foreigner you know! I would think that someone like you would find that offensive!

Dear Democrats…WAKE UP!
John Dean rigged the election, knowing that Florida and Michigan would have gone for Hillary. In spite of this Hillary still won the popular vote by 252,000 plus.
So Democrats, your party says “You is irrelevant, cause us party hacks knows whats best, not you good fo nothin mowrons who vote”.
Our Country has a law called the Stolen Valor Act. I propose a new addendum to that law after Hillary’s Bosnia Landing story, it’s called the Acquired Stupidity Act!

Obama, where’s the text?
Look dippy, grown-ups don’t like it when you make a commitment and don’t keep it.
We need a grown-up for President.
Hillary ’08.

Biden is from the working class, his son was in harms way,he knows as much as
Cheney, Bush, Mccain and Rice together
about Foreign and Domestic Policy and is not out for him/herself like Billary. Obama needs some one to keep and Eye on the Trilateralists and the Neocons. Biden knows the danger of both cliques. Obama and Biden both realize how much the Bush regime has cost us
in the US and Abroad. The Sheeple and Dittoheads notwithstanding, They will
evicerate the warmonger and whatever
used car salesman he picks. The Hillary
Hacks back MCBush? Shows you where their
hearts really lie.
Obama a

Roxanne, it’s trailer trash like you and the other obamabotts that really make it impossible to support Obama. Although I voted for him in the primary, I will give my support to McCain because I wouldn’t want to be consider an idiot such as yourself. You’re the perv…rumor has it that Obama likes the guys, maybe that’s why he’s married to such a manish woman who for her first time in her adult life is proud of the US. What a joke these two monkeys are.

Biden, the man that wanted to be on the same ticket with McCain, 8 years ago. I’m glad Obama picked a McCain supporter!

What say you Obama ?..Your lack of knowledge have you running for someone who can teach how to be a leader. Obama is a fake,hands down. I know that when “something sounds to good to be true” is ussually correct, a fake.Let’s see your resume> 1. A civil leader in Chicago 2. A couple of years in the Illinois Senate and 3. Half a term as a US Senator.Wow that is a resume! At the best Obama you can be a New Orleans, Honolulu , Louisville etc. mayor and nothing else.You have a long way to go before you can reach the top of the ladder.What is visible is this man is going to be a puppet for big interest groups that by the way are pouring millions on his campaign and there you have it.

Senator Biden has stated he would not accept the V P spot, if offered. Maybe, he is a flip-flopper like Obama.

Nice, but it is you who will have to suck it hard when the dirty old man is crushed by Obama! Besides, you strike me as a tiny little man, like McCain!

I can give you 9.8 million reasons why Obama won’t be the next president. The DNC cheated Hillary, now they lost the election.
PUMA PUMA PUMA PUMA PUMA PUMA PUMA PUMA

mctommy |
Exactly mctommy! Unlike McCain, Obama actually speaks for the Obama campaign!

Look, you don’t need nasty comments and childish personal attacks. This election in the fall will increase the democrat’s ranks in the House and the Senate, no question. The other given is that McCain will win. It’s almost September and in this “perfect storm” year Obama and McCain are tied.McCain is actually way ahead with both likely voters and undecideds. The resolution of the Iraq war along with recent developments with Russia have pretty much put an end to the Obama party. Throw Biden in there and we can call it a night. We had our chance with Hillary and we let it slip away. All the party leaders know that.

I see from the postings here tonight that the Republicans are very afraid. And rightly so.

Actually, I’m a tiny little woman and I don’t like McCain anymore than I like Obama, they are both creeps, you strike me as a pot bellied old man, like McCain with moles all over your face like Obama.

LARRY KING’S FIRST CALLER AFTER ANNOUNCING IT’S JOE BIDEN, A SCHOOL TEACHER FROM NY, SAID HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DEM AND CANNOT VOTE FOR BO NOW. HE WAS A HILLARY SUPPORTER AND BIDEN IS NOT OK WITH HIM

Oh, please, please, please, let it be Biden. McCain supporters are going to have so much fun with Barry and Biddy. Let’s see in 1988, in a run for president, Biden plagerized his entire BIOGRAPHY speech, how pathetic!, Aug 10, 2007, said he would unequivocally not be vice president if asked. January 31, 2007 he said “I mean, Obama is a mainstream African-American, who is articulate and clean-cut” Wow, what a racist. At least he and Barry will have something in common.

IT’S OFFICIAL…OBAMA OFFERS VP TO BIDEN, ANNOUNCING NOW ON CNN
Posted by: Debra
Well thanks Debra! If they’re correct, that’s Great!

Dear Debra,
Thank you for you gracious comment regarding my knowledge of Biden and his wife.
I already know everything I need to know
about Mr. Biden: Liar, plagiarist, thief.
It’s not Obama’s race that scares me, the decision making ability of this intellectual geopolitical neophyte.
By the way, scroll up to my Obama econ 101 comment, and you will clearly see he is an individual who would require a geological mining team to perform rectal-cranial inversion surgery.
P.S. Since you obviously need the same procedure, let me know where I can contribute!

Roxanne…
You obviously never studied international relations…Bosnia did not pan out, the problems still exist as does the inter-ethnic violence.
Cutting Iraq into three parts is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard. Once that happens every region of the world that has a diverse ethnic makeup will ask for the same thing.
OH WAIT…ITS ALREADY HAPPENING IN GEORGIA.
Read up on history, Roxanne.

Roxanne
if the first woman to run for Pres and be serious about it comes up just 200 votes short..that alone says your man and savior Obama will not win theelection and certainly not by a landslide the pick of Biden is a contradiction to what the messiah said that he could tolerate throughout the campaign… you people will never recover from this!

The reason that Senator Biden is the best choice is not only because of his experience and expertise in foreign affairs and judicial system; but also the fact that B. Obama will be able to focus on his job without worrying a VP who could be disloyal and ambitious to dislodge his presidency in the future. BTW, can somebody tell me how many enemy planes did McCain shot down before he was captured?

It’s on the news, Biden is the VP for Loserbama. He will be Obama’s teacher for foreign relations and government.

actually blacks are not subhuman, they are human, no better or no worse than a white person. they dont deserve any worse or better treatment either. but to you, everyone is a victim in life.

Biden was clearly the more experienced of the bunch in the Democratic primaries. I wasn’t a Biden supporter but I have alot of respect for him. The guy is ego personified though. I fail to see where Biden represents change or new politics though. I’m over 50 and this guy has been part of the political machine as long as I can remember. He supported the war in Iraq and an increased troop presence in Iraq along with McCain. In fact while the GOP is digging up the negative stuff Biden has said about Obama I’m sure they’ll dig up the quote where Biden talks about McCain being a great friend and how he would be honored to run with him or against him. Biden already had a run as VP and that obviously didn’t turn out. I look at the picture of Obama and Biden together and all I think is how it should be the Biden/Obama ticket.
I think Biden can overshadow Obama and I think points out Obama’s inexperience more then adds credibility to the ticket. Biden is old politics, not a change candidate, supported the invasion of Iraq, good friends with McCain- geez, if Obama wanted that he shouldv’e picked Hillary because at least she comes with almost 20 million voters. Not to mention that Clinton wasn’t supposedly even given a courtesy vetting which will go over well with her supporters who are straddling the fence. If this is his first Presidential decision I’m not impressed.

confirmed Biden the two faced liar was picked.. check DRUDGE

CNN confirms Sen. Barack Obama has chosen Delaware Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice-presidential running mate.

It’s on the news, Biden is the VP for Loserbama. He will be Obama’s teacher for foreign relations and government.

You need to keep up. Every foreign policy issue that Obama has held has been implemented by the Bush administration! McCain’s foreign policy credentials are a shame. Look it up!

I, who am better than any american, give my life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness to communism. Just because biden won.

He Slick, comin’ back at ya:
I can think of many words to describe John McCain, but honesty is not one of them.

It’s Official….the DNC has managed to Loose the WhiteHouse Again!!! Obama/Biden = Dumb/Dumber…I’m DEFINATELY VOTEING MCCAIN!!!!!

Roxanne
Iwasnt going to go there but you need might need a little help to look up your own facts… most people that give unsolicited advice shouldnt be givign it in the first place because they dont know what they speak of…I talked to some Obama peeople who are friends of mine yesterday who had no idea who ayers is…Obama isnt running for President of a fantasy world!

Patriotic texan,
the correct term would be sand niggers. hes got a lil arabic in him too.

I, who am better than any american, give my life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness to communism. Just because biden won.
Posted by: roxanne
This bullshit was not posted by me. It’s clear that the loser who did post this doesn’t have the balls to post his or her name! Twinkie!

Biden was picked as VP because he assured Obama, the Russians didn’t invade Georgia, the state, but a country along the border of Russia. Obama, then assured the residents of Alabama, that they were safe.

I am black and am (like most Americans) getting tired of this racist crap that is constantly spewing from Obama’s Supporters.
We could ALL get over racism if they didn’t bring it up in d*mn near every post they write.
People are not voting for Obama because he is DUMB as a rock, not because he is black/white – or whatever the h*!! he is, so stop using racism as an excuse to cover up all of his flaws – which are many.
PUMA!

I’m appauled at the language women use this day. Parents didn’t have enough money to send you to boarding school, roxanne?

An excellent choice. Biden is someone who is incredibly knowledgeable in foreign policy and has one crucial characteristic that most politicians don’t – he is adept at being able to disagree with a colleague and still treat the person, in words and tone of voice, with respect. This will be an invaluable addition to the Obama administration both on the Hill and with foreign leaders. Those who dismiss this ability and talent don’t understand the art of negotiation and doplomacy.

I totally agree with you leelee

McCain best bet for veep,
Condoleeza Rice, or Carly Fiorina, intelligent,resilient, resourceful woman, who could change America for the better.
Get over it guys, with Bill “pardon me ma’am did I just accidentally fall inside you” Clinton as a bench-mark, they can’t truck things up any worse than the white bread, soda cracker, honky boys already have.

Some of my comments might have offended some. Some came from my fingers, some from roxanne. But every ounce of true racism only comes from roxannes fingertips as she is trying to make me look like a racist southerner. When in fact she is a racist communist.

Well, i can see why you see yourself as a victim. Slavery hasnt been around in over 100 years, get over it. my ancestors were slaves to the dutch when they first came over. do i want freebies and gimmes and payback fo what they did to my family? no, i got over it.

Thank God It’s not Hillary. Obama and his bitter Mrs. are not even fit to shine Hillary’s shoes.
Hillary doesn’t need to be associated with Obama’s corrupt associates; Farrakahn, Rev God Dm america Wright, Ayers, etc.
NO Obama

McCain should pick Hillary
McCain/Clinton 08′!!!!
That would crush Obama Bin Ladin!!

@PatrioticTexan – Thanks!
PUMA!

the best interests of my family comes before all else, and I am thus obligated to vote for the one candidate I know will be the best President: Senator Hillary Clinton

PatrioticTexan
See, the fact that you agree with this leelee idiot which is something you haven’t seen from me says it all! Your parents were clearly brother and sister. Another toothless banjo player!

allen
thats it you dont want Mccain because of some fictious draft… nobody cares that you want to keep your kids from going to war or whatever you reason its a non issue to destroy the democratic party over you people have really screwed up!after that you deserve what you will get!

My question is this: Biden and John McCain are good friends; Biden supported the Iraq war with McCain; Biden is always opening mouth and inserting foot; so, I have to ask…is Biden a Democrat or a Republican? Does he support Obama or McCain? Many of Bidens defense of the issues are the same as McCain’s. Biden has great foregn affairs experience, but nothing on the econmomy. What in the heck was Obama thinking? Without Hillary, Obama will lose. I think you can already see that from these posts. Even Obama supporters are disappointed and are planning to vote for McCain. You know this will push the Independents to McCain. Guess Obama didn’t want the Presidency after all!

obama joined and abandoned his own church, purely for his political aspirations……biden better hope obama doesn’t have a similar change of heart before November….

Roxanne,
It is amazing that you are still full of anger. I refuse to live in a country that supports laziness, ineptability, and stupidity by living a socialist/communist standard

For the First Time in My Adult Life, I Am Voteing Republican. The JackAss for the DNC and Obama/Biden is Very Fitting.

WriteHillaryIn.com

Overall, the whole thing is pretty anti-climactic.
All the hype, all the coverage, all the press…..aaaaaand yeah, the world keeps spinning

Debra – I heard Mike Huckabee say on a news program yesterday that no one will vote for Obama once they find out about his past.
I think Obama’s free ride is just about over – the Republicans are going to do what Hillary couldn’t. They are going to air all of Obama’s dirty laundry, and I, for one, can’t wait.
PUMA! Over 9 million voters – coming to the POLLS with you.

There are a lot of ‘personally offended’ dorks on these boards. I’m voting for the ticket, not my lovers quarrel feelings. Some of you need therapy, seriously. If it was Hillary or Obama or Steve Jobs or a water cooler on the ticket…I am NOT voting for a Republican! Not after 8 years of what they gave us and yes I have a memory that long! Amazing! They have a track record that is abysmal! ABSOLUTELY ABYSMAL! And the same old dirty politics of McCain turned me completely off to him a month ago. Those so called attack ads seemed desperate, was desperate, and is forcing the election down to the gutter level of Republicans, sorry some of you fell for it. You’re a cheesehead if celebrity means anything to you after Ronald Reagan (actor) Jesse Ventura (WWF) and Arnold Swarznegger (foreign-born actor), you love those guys so what the frack do you care about “celebrity”? You’re full of crap! And McCain is clearly the elitist here. Get real! Obama’s sole claim to fame was working hard and rising up through the ranks of politics, not rising up through the ranks of acting school or getting caught by the enemy 40 years ago! Either Obama or Hillary are the most inspiring intelligent candidates that the party has had since Bill Clinton, so why fall to such cheeseball tactics that Republican political scientists use to manipulate you and divide you instead of having a little faith and a little hope here? And it really is as simple as that for me. I’m voting for change of party in the White House, end of story. And I don’t care if Chicken Little McCain crys crocodile tears about his POW record, we’ve heard enough! At least he wasn’t killed! He’s alive! For 4000 of our guys and young girls who were in Iraq, it isn’t McCain who’s lying in the ground right now. From the sound of McCain’s constant usage of his POW stories for every little thing, you start to wonder if it wasn’t the best thing that ever happened to him!

I will now have to decide if I should elect not to vote, or vote for Sen. McCain so that a totaly inept, inexperienced, egocentric out of the White House.

As opposed to an idiot who will continue to run this country into the ground? Tough choice…for you maybe!

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to thank you for being suckers and ponying up some cash for us!
Oh, and now that everyone submitted their email addresses to register and get the text, we will be sure to hound you for donations!!

“but if they Obamaites want to trade a sure presidency for a posible one and a few debilitating jokes aimed at the heart of the democratic party, they sealed their own fate!’
staniam – You are SO right!
PUMA!

Seriously, sending out a couple million text messages…how much of the fund raising goes to that? You know AT&T aren’t doing it for free….

Let’s just hope Biden doesn’t have a John Edwards love baby story he didn’t confess to BO campaign about.

Yes, Senator Clinton is JUST the person our troops need…
You have no idea how many troops would resign commissions/terminate contracts to avoid that one. No idea.

All the texts is Obama’s data base to send out reminders to vote and other obnoxious messages.
HILLARY SUPPORTERS DO NOT WRITE HER NAME IN AND ALLOW BO TO INCH CLOSER. A no vote or write in is a BO victory. Must vote McCain. Hillary 2012

Obama supporters are pretty shallow folks. Biden represents everything Obama was running against.
At least the young and naive who communicate by text message, like my great grandpa used to do, have been well trained into thinking every Republican is the McSame.
Petty, small, ignorant people they are.

Will…Obama’s promise to text everyone and get their numbers is a way to data bank for future messages and houndings about contributing and voting.
Smart move by BO campaign. They are all over the youth vote and that WILL BE THE ONLY WAY HE WINS THIS. It will be a generational election (even tho Biden is 65, VOTERS ALWAYS VOTE FOR TOP OF THE TICKET).
VOTE McCAIN!

Speaking of Donna Brazille,,, Didnt she claim that she would quit her party if the DNC/super delegates over rode the will of the people? She said that when, Obama was leading popular vote, but Clinton had alot more super delegates. At the end of the primaries it was the other way around. Get your fat stanky azzzz down the road Donna. Racist b!!tch

Haters Step Off I think your theory is too simplistic. That’s not an insult I just think it’s more complex then race. There clearly are those who will not vote for a person of color nor a woman. We’ve seen that with both the Obama and the Clinton races. There was some research done pre-Obama where they looked at races where there were black candidates on the ticket and they found some difference between political affiliation and race. When the candidate was a black liberal what they found was that they saw a larger voter turn-out amongst blacks but a larger turn-out also amongst whites which countered that effect. When it was a conservative black there was no significant difference in turn out between either. Blacks didn’t turn out to elect a conservative black nor did whites turn out to ensure they weren’t elected. Powell and Obama are a good example. Anyone who has been around for sometime knows that at one point, and today for many, Powell was one of the most trusted Americans in this Country. There is no doubt for many that had he ran for President that he very well could have won and at the least certainly been the first black nominee of what most likely wouldv’e been the Republican party. I know many whites older then 50 who would not have hesitated to cast a vote for Powell in the slightest. Not only is/was Powell a conservative/moderate (unlike Obama who has been portrayed as left of Kennedy) ,
he was also highly experienced and well known to most. To negate the impact of experience/inexperience or being a known
vs. an unknown is just remiss. I don’t know how old you are but many things have changed over the decades other then just attitudes about race. The older generation grew up believing you start from the bottom and work your way up, that you work hard and that will be rewarded (even though in reality they often didn’t see that pan out for themselves) and that the most experienced and hardest working should be the one to be promoted. This younger generation has seen something very different in that we’ve seen young men/women in their 20′s who haven’t even finished college become incredibly successful and rich by thinking outside the box, taking a risk and all while working outside the traditional workplace (while working just as hard though within their own framework). One example would be Mark Zuckerberg who founded Facebook while still a student in college and of course Bill Gates.
So there is a generational divide in many degrees on the issue of experience vs. limited experience. You also mention the merit of Obama’s positions and I would say if one doesn’t agree with Obama’s positions that does not make them a racist or in anyway implies the issue is about race. Obama himself has said that the Democrats do not have a monopoly on good ideas, so one can agree to disagree on issues such as energy, climate change, national security and the economy without race being at the root of that disagreement. Your candidate strongly advocates a bi-partisan and recognizes the merit of both liberal and conservative thought on all the issues you cited. So to suggest that just because one supports drilling and nuclear power, and as such they opt to not vote Obama, that the bottom line though was about race not the issues is just ridiculous and naive and simplistic.

If Barack Obama picks Al Gore for VP, would that be an algorical obimination?

To Whom It May Concern:
I’m extremely upset. Every time Mr. Obama speaks the statements just become a lie. Mr. Obama committed to telling his “online text message members” first. However, all the outlets are reporting it first as “confirmed” meaning they’ve spoken with someone in the Obama campaign. As an initial member of Hillary Clinton’s California campaign, and now this I’m extremely upset. If you can’t control things like this now, imagine how it would be during an Obama presidency.
This whole text message thing was just to get potential donors to his website.
I’m a gay American, and was a Democrat, but Mr. Obama has lost my vote and I’m voting for John McCain.

mctommy – whats wrong bro? Got a problem with people who are opposed to a baby killing, communist becoming our next president? That’s too bad, sorry about your dilema.

Dear leelee07, A DISCOURSE ON RACE…
I appreciate your comment, a true discourse on race begins by looking at Whoopie’s comments on the View. I quote
“I’m sorry Hasselbeck you and I are not equal” Now here is Whoopie Goldberg on the same show as an equal Co-host, making as much if not more money than Hasselbeck.
Until blacks drop “Black Liberation Theology” and dump the “Slave mentality” we are going to have racial tension. Could you imagine what would have happened in Denver if some “white trash, trailer park idiot broke out in the “White National Anthem” Black America, Whoopie Goldberg, you are equal with Hasselbeck and every person in America.
(Except for Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton! If he were white, He’d definitely be white trailer park trash).
Obama, race is not the issue for America
it’s an inexperienced geopolitical moron
who’s decision making is absolutely suspect!
300 advisors for an overseas trip, give me a break.
I’m ready for a black president, not a schmuck like Ca’racked Obama!

Biden – Obamas CHANGE…. Words…Just Words!

Will
there is no end to the negative advertisng that will be donr against Obama/Biden they knew this, they didnt even offer the VP to someone who came 200 votes short of the nomination but Kerry the windsurfing giant of a man picked Edwards to which we in NC knew was a fraud!

Joe Biden killed his first wife and daughter in 1972 while he was driving drunk.
He recently suffered an aneurysm in 1988 and nearly died.

Me too, Andrew. I agree!
McCain 08!

Lisa
the DNC aka Obama campaign sends me 2 letters a day I will not give one red cent to them… its not deserved!

you all wait and see, obama’s face will be the only one on Mount Rushmore in no time!

Lisa in Oklahoma
Why don’t you vote for Bin Laden or Hitler? It will have as much of an affect!
I’m going to go now because all of you Mccain and Hillary supporters have lost your bearings! Good Night Losers!

All we have gotten from Obama, from the onset, is a bunch of feel good, sunshine happiness that is utterly vague and pointless.
Change is coming…CHANGE IS COMING…well give me some specs, bro, because so far its a bunch of NOTHING

you all should be groveling and praising me for i have personally given you Obama to lead you to eternal happiness!

No VP choice can save the ARROGANT ONE. I am dumbfounded that there are actually any people who would still support this condescending creeep. If he just had another couple of years as a community organizer in Chicago, I might have considered voting for him. Darn,,,, so close :(

Pass me the Kool-Aide, Jesus!!

Scotti …shhhh , youre being way to intelligent for this “discussion”.
more name calling and less thought!
(my $ .02 worth is : mccain is too old and too rich to vote for under any circumstances…hillary wouldve been the better nominee for most americans but anyone/anything is better than a republican ….even republican-lite obama. he needs to pick hillary to heal the party and assure victory though ,anything else is arrogant and plain old stupid)

@ dave rappoport – Thank you, you said it better than I ever could!
PUMA!

just like obama, roxanne cannot take the heat when justifiable arguments are sent her way…
Posted by: chris
What justifiable arguments? I’m trying to get off but you folks are making it difficult! Could you answer my post below? It’s actually from me! I’ll wait!
All of you who are trashing Biden would be trashing Tim Kaine or Evan Bayh for their lack of experience if Obama had chosen him. Grow up! Obama could have picked Charles Manson and he’d still whip that crazy old man! It’s interesting that none of you have mentioned the fact that Bush has now instituted a TIMETABLE for troop withdrawal from Iraq. They also quietly sent troops into Afghanistan on Wednesday. These are policies that Obama has been calling for for months. I noticed that none of you McCain supporters have mentioned this. I suppose now you’ll want to talk about the surge but remember…the surge wouldn’t have even been necessary if we had never invaded Iraq! Also, remember that that idiot McCain actually said about Georgia, that “In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations…forgetting that this is exactly what he voted for and what the United States did by invading Iraq! Idiots!

Thanks chris! Your silence speaks volumes. Now I can go!

So Obama has made his pick…
…what will John do? Who will he pick? He benefits from being able to react now, and counter Obama’s pick…

in true Obamacamn fashion you are acusing other people of what you yourself are… good luck in political purgatory… go away!

That’s it? Noting on Georgia? Iraq troop withdrawal? Afghanistan? To quote Edward R. Murrow “Good Night and Good Luck?”.

McTommy…you might want to hold onto that dictionary of yours and study it.

roxanne – Please go already. It’s obvious that you not ALOT of rest.

You’re right badger1. I not a lot of rest! See you in english class!

What is scarier still…is images of Mrs. Obama as the First Lady….dear GOD

the fact that he preaches unity and compassion but his supporters use racist epithets against Clinton supporters says something…..the fact that he expressly avoids the race card, only to strongly imply that Clinton disrespected MLK, when she merely acknowledged LBJ’s contribution to the Civil Rights Movement, says something….the fact that he cannot stand the heat when faced with adversity, faltering on the 2nd “super saturday” (tx, oh, etc.) after winning 11 IN A ROW, says something….the fact that he is VIRTUALLY TIED with mccain, despite his outrageous fundraising and unprecedented movement and volunteer efforts, says something…the fact that mccain would win the electoral college today, using the average of state by state polls, despite being largely tied to the worst president in the history of our country, says something….the fact that not one obama lemming thus far, has been able to articulate any of his specific plans or proposals for change, says a lot…..

Roxanne
its easy for complete ignoramouses like you to criticize other people no matter how unfounded it is.

obama is not ready, his supporters have displayed racist, sexist, ignorant, arrogant and naive behavior CONSISTENTLY (though certain not all of his supporters, just the lemming ones), he has had to defend his association with questionable characters on more then one occasion, and if you have to keep making the same defense of questionable characters who all have the one person in common, what does that say about the one person?

roxanne – I have no doubt that you have misspelled a word or two whether out of ignorance, or by accident. So? Unfortunately for you, it’s your candidate who comes from the racist church, and who has cultivated friendships with people who are radical, and communist ideologues. Whose got the problem here?

“It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”
(UPDATE: At a later stop Obama was talking with reporters and expressed concern he’d also mis-stated the number of potential cyclone victims in Burma. He said, “I hope I said 100,000 people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It’s a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh.” At that point, an aide cut him off and ushered journalists out. Before he could mis-speak again?)

obama is not ready to take on putin

I think that Pakistan would notice that an “attack” from the west couldn’t be from India…
…being that India is EAST of Pakistan.

christakesgeography……because secret incursions to take out osama bin laden are always from the direction of the nation which the secret forces are citizens

the ignorance of the obama camp keeps re-establishing its dominance in such a delusional world…..

Your point was that Hillary had to point out to Obama that a strike against Osama in Pakistan, if left unannounced, could look like a strike by India.
If SOF attacked UBL in the northeastern part of Pakistan…I really don’t think that the Pakistani government would logically think it was from India..

so is there a possible way that hillary could WIN at the convention? I mean, if there are not enough delegate votes for Obama?

Biden – “He’s a clean, good looking African American, and articulate too”
Wow….there’s a quote guaranteed to pizz off the 14% of Obots (black population).

christakesgeography…..if actionable intelligence had bin laden in kashmir, the long-disputed region between india and pakistan, and such action as directed by obama, as president, were initiated in the region, probably using low to mid range missiles to avoid American casualties from a personnel mission, it could likely not be considered an attack by india, but wouldn’t you want the President to notify pakistan any way, just to make sure even the remote chance of such a disastrous mistake is nil?

Senator Clinton, on the other hand, has extensive contacts and instant credibility with the international community, from her record travels as First Lady, to her commitment to human and women’s rights, such as establishing the international coalition Vital Voices, which empowers women around the world to become involved with their local political spheres…..

The Pakistani government already gave the Coalition permission to strike UBL without calling ahead if need be.
One of the concerns is that senior ranking members of both the Pakistani military and government are hesitant to cooperate publically due to the reprecussions they would face with the local populace.
Therefore, there would definatly be a “hey, thanks for giving us a call” made in public, but at the same time they want him out as well. UBL is a de-stabilizing entity for Pakistan as well, and him no longer serving as a figurehead would be appreciated by all those in the area.
Hence, if there was a limited window of opportunity to take him out…lets say in Kashmir, which is not a hotbed of his supporters…the strike would be valid and condoned.

Let’s not go overboard with giving Hillary all of this credibility. She made some pretty boneheaded remarks during her campaign, some of which bordered on delusional. She had many opportunities to take advantage of Obama gaffes, but time after time, she or her husband would drop the ball. She is still a far better choice than the baby kiliing, communist who hails from Chicago, the home of black nationalism.

What exactly is McCain’s ideology, Chris?

I live 20 minutes from DE. The state is a disaster area! Everyone I know winces in agony when they have to do anything in that state.
Good choice obama. A guy who can’t effectively handle his state would make a great VP. If biden wasn’t liked enough to last longer in the run for the the Democratic nomination, why would he be a good pick for VP? All of his “experience” didn’t help then.
No matter. After busting my butt at work all day,teaching my low-income students with 90% less academic support and 50% reduction in supplies,I’ll take the time I would have used to vote for Hillary, for some extra R&R. I can’t vote.
With my two choices being either an obvious woman hater who values a clump of non-self-sustaining cells more than the living, breathing woman or the closet, reverse-racist who either didn’t have the guts to walk out on Wright’s radical beliefs or stayed because he actually BELIEVED them, I have NO choice!
Since I’m both a woman and a European-American, I find both of them offensive.
I’ll stay home that night wearing two pairs of socks,sweat pants,a couple of sweaters,and be wrapped in a blanket, with my ELECTRIC space heaters running, because I won’t be able to afford the 600+ dollars a month it will cost me to use my oil heater.
Yipee!Hooray for Election Day!When the U.S. sinks deeper into the abyss.

Debra – Chris Mathews, Keith Olberman, and Andrea Mitchell are so deep in Obamas rectal cavity it’s a wonder they can breathe. Absolutely disgusting, and appalling.

Every old, out of touch, and memory jab is off limits towards McCain by BO now, because
Biden is on board. That is a silver lining. We won’t hear Obama throwing age jokes, unlike the late night guys who have triple the jokes against Hill and JM, but HANDS OFF OBAMA. So sick of the PC double standard!

McCain campaing just released a statement re the Biden pick and used Biden’s own word in saying Obama was not experienced enough. Great….that should be played over and over all next week…continuous loop in Biden’s voice.
Came from CNN John King on Larry.

Chris, you are killing me, man…its been twenty minutes and you still haven’t been able to define your statement.

the funny thing about these lemmings, is that they fail to realize that history likes to repeat itself, mostly because it wants to be heard, like a parent whose children’s short attention span require such repetition to get the message across…..obama is john kerry in this instance, running against a member of a very unpopular party right now, but for some reason, despite all his advantages, financial and media-driven, obama is still in a virtual tie with mccain, when by all measures, he should be leading by double digits….

analogy #2 – jimmy carter and ted kennedy – the style and personality of the two couldn’t be more different, with carter’s more congenial approach to politics eventually returning him as the nominee in 1980, only to face the juggernaut in reagan….now, mccain is no reagan, which is a compliment in terms of policy to mccain, but definitely a minus in terms of personality and charm…..but obama is very much like carter, not prone to attack politics, and, retrospectively, probably comparatively weak when compared to reagan….on the other hand, Clinton is also comparative to Kennedy, perhaps not in terms of years of service by that time in 1980, but definitely in terms of political aptitude and fire…..the result of those two personalities after 1980? by all accounts, Kennedy has become known as a Senator with a long record of distinguished service, and carter has become known as a great humanitarian…..however, his administration is another story…..

first and foremost, Hillary would re-establish America’s credibility on the world stage, in a way and time period that is unavailable to either obama or mccain, one because of his inexperience and unfamiliarity, and the other because of his ties, perceived or actual, to the prior administration…..

clinton hasn’t done a thing here, and couldn’t save thw world if she tried. shes dried up and done, and no crying will bring her back. FACE IT OBAMA HAS IT IN THE BAG! AND CLINTON IS HOLDING IT OPEN FOR HIM! THANKS FOR NOTHING!

i want every obama lemming to be here on November 5th, because he now cannot win on November 4th….

furthermore, such disrespect and/or hatred for Senator Clinton only serves to weakly disguise one’s own guilt for supporting a lesser candidate (mccain/obama) to take on such daunting challenges that the next President will have to confront…

The UN? The UN is up to it’s eyeballs in corruption! After seeing firsthand the nature of the organization, I would never want to be a part of their missions! Their personnel are not looking to solve problems- they want the problem to continue so that their contracts get renewed year after year after year! I met UN officials that wanted things to remain stagnant so that they could work on their 8th year in country! The UN needs an overhaul, not another mission to go on, escpecially when our country foots a great portion of the bill!

like it or not, the UN is one of the few organizations that may have the capability and support that such international conflicts and regional problems require for resolution……like our system of public schools in America that have many problems, we cannot afford to completely throw it away because of its varied flaws…..we must work within the system, revamp it and reorganize to make it more efficient and clean…..yet another effort that our next president will have to face, but one which is not nearly as public as the other pressing issues which dominate the headlines….

but go ahead and count them out……they have been dismissed and disrespected more so in the past, but they certainly known for their ability to fight back and make a difference……that is what separates them from obama and mccain…..

Why the heck are you talking about Clinton when its about Obama’s character is the question here. He quit on his church after saying the reverend he called his uncle at one point is a mess. Quit on on our nation when its a mess? He went to school in Indonesia where they lynch mob Christian theology schools, then he is proud to where his muslim heritage costume while he drops his fake commitment to his Christian church after his political agenda is done? Yes roxanne thanks for confirming that he bought a lot from Rezko the corrup friend of Obama with 60% discount, what will he try to pull in the white house and worst yet how will he sell out our country? NO WAY!!! TOO MUCH AT RISK!!! NO TO OBAMA YES TO MCCAIN WHO LOVES OUR COUNTRY.
