Obama Distances Self From Campaign Spox Attack on Palin

Spoken like a true politician. Let someone else do the dirty work. And this goes to both parties of course.

The VP pick provides a glimpse into a candidates’ decision-making abilities and judgment. McCain has demonstrated his marginal abilities in these areas with his VP choice.
This woman would be a heart-beat away from the Presidency. He has mocked the process, and proved he cares more about getting himself elected than making sure this country would have a competent leader should something happen to him.
His new name should be McLame.

What about Obama’s decision-making abilities and judgement? He has less experience than Palin, yet he’s running for President!

This is what Obama always does: let his people attack and then he would demounce to make him look nice. He has done that many times to Hillary during the democratic primary.

John McCain said of Rudy Guilian’s exprience of running New York City (population 8 million +)
“”I think the nation respects the mayor’s leadership after 9/11, and I do, too, and I think he displayed leadership at a time that Americans needed some steady hand, and I think that his conduct was very laudatory following 9/11,” Mr. McCain said, when asked why so many voters identify Mr. Giuliani with the issue of terrorism.
But he went on to say: “I don’t think it translates, necessarily, into foreign policy or national security expertise. I know of nothing in his background that indicates that he has any experience in it, with him or Romney.”

I am just perplexed at this talk of Palin being a “heartbeat” away from the Presidency, and you don’t talk about all about the tremendous fears of the ridiculously inexperienced Obama being in the President chair!
Stop talking about Palin, as the primary question is STILL “Is Obama ready to be President”?
And the answer is STIll a resounding NO.

pos3r-
She has zero foriegn policy experience, zero, unless you want claim that she’s gained some through osmosis by living close to Russia…
Joe-right behind ya!

Tapper …
you are amazing.

Wait a minute, when Joe Biden was chosen and Obama got a NEGATIVE bounce—you Obama people said, “the VP pick isn’t THAT critical”…. What happened???

Damage Control!!

Obama is old and so yesterday’s news (literally)! Hahahahaha!

Obama drones making the heartbeat away comment is so funny. Obama WOULD BE IN the president’s chair from the start! Judgement? Let’s start a discussion of judgement about Palin so we can replay the Rev Wright video and talk about what a dummy Obama must be to sit in that church! or his admitted “bonehead” move dealing with Rezko!

Come on. Angelina Jolie is more qualified to be VP.
What a slap in the face of all the truly qualified candidates, male or female.
Change the playbook, republicans.
As ‘W’s presidency showed us all, it does matter who is in office.
You can’t just put an (R) next to a candidate and think prosperity is just around the corner.
As a recovering republican who believed the conservative line back in the Reagan era only to see the largest government spending from the last three republican administrations, they need to stop selling snake oil.
It’s clear they are having a hard time finding spokespeople.

Yall Know Palin is the right pick for McCain
BUT
It is not the right pick for the United States of America
Biden was a great pick for Obama
AND
It was the right pic for the United States of America
DO YOU GET IT?
IT’S ABOUUT US! NOT ABOUT MCCAIN
I’M SORRY PROLIFE AND OIL AND SHE WANTS TO DRILL IN ANWAR…..SORRY THIS IS TERRIBLE

Obama obviously doesn’t like women. He patronizes them. He didn’t even vette Hillary. His first reaction to Palin was to demean her experience as being from a small town, etc.
But hey, Mr. Hope and Change chose… he chose… Joe Biden? Oh, my heart!
Americans are going to fall in love with Governor Palin.

OH happy day! Just can’t wipe the smile off my face. … brb going to go look at it again. McCain/Palin 08 yeeeee haaawwwww and yea!

Bottom line: THIS IS A DISASTER FOR US. I think this is the day we lost the election.
Please write to McCain and ask him to reconsider.
It’s not too late. The convention is yet to start.

Obama’s worst nightmare–another strong woman, tougher, and more qualified than he is.
I can’t wait until looselips Biden makes a sexist remark–and then Obama calls her “sweetie”.
McCain/Palin 08

Backtrack Barack strikes again.

No one is talking about Barakulus at the Barakopolis!
Change you can see, not “just words”!
McCain/Palin 08

Romney deserved this post. He has worked his brow off for McCain.
To pass him over and Crist too!!! We aren’t going to win an election with evangelicals alone.
I am so angry I’m not sure I’ll have the strength to leave my house and vote on election day.

Does it matter that McCain has demonstrated abysmal judgement in passing over many qualified women (Hutchinson, Rice, etc.) to pick an unknown small-timer embroiled in an ethics scandal?
Of course not – he’s a POW.

How can anyone take McCain seriously after he makes a this woman his choice for VP candidate. He clearly does not care about what happens to this country. He has just made it sooooo easy for Senator Obama and the democrats to win in November! Taking back our country!!

Extremely interesting how anyone can say this woman has experience, or even more experience than the other three candidates.
She has a bs degree in journalism, and was elected governor less than 2 yrs ago, but she has experience? At what exactly? Other than experience at having children, what else does she have experience doing???
Where is her birth certificate? Alaska? She can’t be a US citizen then, right?!
Will she be degraded and belittled like Senator Obama? lol Of course not.
Watch the hypocrisy flow like a muddy river.

Wait until Palin starts attacking back.

Thomas,
Is Barr really running?
Did he join a different party or is it a pure independent run?

What a hypocrite Obama is.
Last night he accused McCain of being a part of Washington’s problems for 25 years—knowing Biden has been there for 35 years.
Then saying he wanted to protect the troops knowing he voted against protective armor.
Saying he would debate w/McCain knowing he has refused all of McCain’s offers.
Obama deliberately mislead those in the audience that are unfamiliar with his many lies.

ahh. the sound of libs imploding… music to my ears. quit sniveling and deal with it. CNN is already asking if she will be able to take care of her son with Downs Syndrome.. no class whatsoever..

i just want to know who she’s going to hand off her sick child to when shes off and buzzing the middle east? This is a mother’s decision???? maybe the eskimo nanny…just a political puppet!

This is not about Dems making an experience argument but Repubs living up to their own.
Bottom line: WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE HANDED OUR PARTY TO THIS HACK!!!!!

Isn’t understudy the better job for someone who needs more experience?

The Obama thugs also made fun of the small town where Palin was mayor.
Not too smart.

I have to say that McCain stepping on BO’s convention with this announcement was clever. Honestly, I was glad to see it done to him.

Oh yes, Its really easy to see how you all discount Senator Obama’s achievements. You laugh at him being a community organizer. And that’s it? No mention of being a state representative for how many years? No mention of teaching consitutional law, for how many years? No mention of his Harvard Law degree?
But Sarah Palin has a bs in journalism, and she’s ready to be President? Interesting how some of you think.

The sexist attacks on Palin are already starting on the blogs and in the press.
Those women who supported Hillary didn’t want just any woman they wanted Hillary on the ticket. Having seen though the blatant sexism that was generated from her presence in the primaries I can guarantee you that many women will be watching to see how Palin is treated, regardless of her opposing positions and what support she does end up getting will be strong support.

I think you don’t understand the pent up frustration of many freedom loving, non-gov solution seeking, taking personal responsibility and not wanting to see ANOTHER DC insider… etc etc… that represent so many people in the US.
There is no flop sweat. There is only joy at someone who is young, can carry the views of many who want Washington to change, and has a history of doing so.
I find I agree with much of what is written here over, less so in the past few months, but frankly you are so off base with this… this love affair you have with OB! You forget there are many of us who find his views both disgusting and terrifying at the same time.
With Palin there is a renewed hope that someone can change the socialist-leaning-big-government-excessive-spending that is currently the norm for both the GOP and Dems in Washington. If not now, perhaps in a few short years when she runs for president.
A masterful move.

Obama supporter
Please join me in congratulating Gov. Palin by being the first woman to be on the GOP ticket. The dem crossed this bridge 20 years ago but we are happy they are finally coming around.
Lets see how many centuries it takes for them to put an african american on the ticket.
My great great great great great great grandchildren may be able to witness such a thing.
CONGRATS GOV PALIN!!!!!!

alpaig 52: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! It’s a WOMAN ISSUE NOW. Thanks a lot Dem guys! I hate the word feminist because it sounds negative, I mean I shouldn’t be labled for wanting equal rights/equal treatment. Nevertheless, I am about women in power now. I would still want Hillary the PERSON to be the first woman President, but I will defend any woman’s right to choose to be VP or Pres.

Why are DEMS comparing Palin’s experience with BHO(Bone Headed Obama)? is BHO standing for VP?
On the other note Palin beats BHO in experience anyway.
Community Organizer working with terrorist/anti-American Friends, later voting ‘present’ for 8 years in state senate, later campaigning for 18 months out of 24 months BHO is a senator in Washington.
Now let us see Palin’s experience. 10 years executive experience as mayor of a city taking decisions daily. 2 years of executive experience as Governer of a state and getting things done everyday.
No comparsion. That is why BHO doe snot have GUTS to stand by his campaing’s mis-statement.

“I’m not even sure what the VP does everyday” –Sarah Palin on with Larry Kudlow. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for yourself.

NOWAY NOHOW NOBAMA!
McCain/Palin 2008
Hillary/???? 2012/2016

I have now asked this question on numerous blogs today, and not gotten ONE clear answer:
Name one Obama accomplishment that makes him anymore capable of being President, than Palin is being Vice President?
tick…tock…tick…tock…tick…tock

She’s under a state ethics investigation.
Anybody know the details.

CJ, maybe he can get his daily briefings on one.

I can’t wait to see her swimsuit photos in campaign ads. (I think that was when Obama was in college.)
Perhaps her stint as a sports reporter could make for good press conference skills (that was when Obama was in law school).
Oops, she did run a ATV store.

I think McCain’s got the hypocrite shoes on today. On and on and on about experience, and this is who he picks for VP. He’s an old guy and might not make it through his term. Is she ready to be president?

Belle Star; your posts are hilarious. Speaking of DC’s coffin joke.

BO: Name one executive decision McCain has made.OOps maybe he ordered some office supplies when he worked for Cindy’s dad.

Yeah, A WOMAN has broken in to the Washington Men’s Club…..You go PALIN

Oh no. Why did McCain do this to us. We are sure to lose to BHO now. I thought Mitt would have been an excellent choice. Papa, why?

We will never forget the way Obama and his bloggers hatefully attacked us and Hillary. Now, there’s hell to pay!

Erika, its worse than that, she didn’t just fire the trooper, she had to Bork him because the very popular Public Safety director in fact refused to fire him. So she brought in a new guy (like Nixon brought Bork in) and fired the trooper director. The new guy apparently had been previously reassigned because of sex harassment charges, and so he had to fire HIM too. Its just one big comedy skit up there. He should have asked Michael Palin instead.

One does have to wonder about a mother with an infant with downs syndrome who would prefer to be out on the campaign trail, all day, every day, preparing for debates, meeting and greeting, traveling to how many cities every day. Certainly there are many women with infants and children with disabilites who have to work everyday, but running for VP is beyond the normal job – of course, Palin doesn’t know that, since she doesn’t know what a VP does.

DEMs nominated a community organizer who voted ‘present’ in state senate and made friends with terrorists/anti-americans, spent 18 months out of his 24 months in senate – campaigning (rather than working) and they are complaining that GOP nominated a 2 year Governer with many notable accomplishments and with prior 10 year experience as a mayor of a city.
There is no comparison. BHO’s experience can not even beat the GOP’s VP’s experience.
On one hand Obama direspected women by not slecting Hiallry who had 18 million votes against 25K votes of Biden. McCain showed respect to women with this pick.
NOWAY NOHOW NOBAMA
McCain 2008 (Care taker)
Hillary 2012/2016

Question: Name ONE accomplishment of BHO (Bone Headed Obama).
BHO camp’s response: Nobody can asnwer that question. It is a ‘trick’ question!
NOWAY NOHOW NOBAMA

How is 10 years as the mayor of a strip mall executive experience?

So len, you are admitting to having your own army then? Are you some kind of neoconfederate like McCains pal (and employee) Richard Quinn?

Bo: “Just answer the question, name ONE EXECUTIVE DECISION that Obama has made that has impacted thousands of lives.”
He decided to invest a hundred million dollars in opening over 300 field offices and employing well over a thousand people over the course of this 18 month campaign. He’s been running the quarter-billion dollar corporation that is his election campaign for just about the same length of time Palin has been governor of Alaska.
Your turn: Name your favorite executive decision Palin has made that has effected hundreds of people. (And selling a jet on Ebay doesn’t count.)

Jennifer-women like you make it difficult for all women. Ignorant.

CJ
JUST ONE. OK. HIS LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT. HE WON THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT.
other accomplishments
Helped pass ethics legislation
Passed legislation to secure loose nukes
want more….

Whoever told Obama to come out and attack Palin’s experience (even before they congratulated her) should be fired immediately. All the Obama campaign has managed to do is showcase how even the bottom of the McCain/Palin ticket has more experience than the top of the Obama/Biden ticket. Too funny!

“I hate the word feminist because it sounds negative, I mean I shouldn’t be labled for wanting equal rights/equal treatment.”

“All the Obama campaign has managed to do is showcase how even the bottom of the McCain/Palin ticket has more experience than the top of the Obama/Biden ticket.”
1 1/2 years as 1st term Gov.
vs 3 1/2 a US Senator.
6 years a mayor of a town this size of a city high school
vs 8 years as an IL State Senator.
Elect Obama and raise math standards in our country!

The GOP is going to have their convention.
The Hurricane may or may not hit.
Everybody is going to remember Katrina and “You’re doing a heckuva job” Brownie…
And they are going to ask themselves how they hell do Republicans appoint people for important positions?

Well at least she’s no Cheney. We dont have to worry about her shooting her soccer mom friends in the head, and then having them apologize about it.
Either way Obama\Biden or McCain\Palin. November 4th, this great nation will do something it has never done before.Its a beautiful thing.
He should have picked Conda Lee Lee. But i’m sure she wants to get as far away from Bush and this party as humanly possible

President John McCain
Vice-President Sarah Palin
Now I can sleep at night knowing we will have two people keeping the watch. What McCain doesn’t know Palin will. They compliment each other. All women should be proud of this achievement. Be proud for yourself even if you are for Obama.

Ohbama and the DNC dump on Hillary.
McCain picks Palin. Dems dripping
in flop-sweat. 46XXers ecstatic. Seems
like the messiah IS fallible, after all.

“Whoever told Obama to come out and attack Palin’s experience (even before they congratulated her) should be fired immediately.”

linda from nc”
one thing obama DOES excell in is
in spending other people’s money.
which doesn’t bode well for our economy should he, by hook or crook, win.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY
MCcAIN AND PALIN.
as opposed to B and B
and the broken DNC

Bo: I’m sorry, could you please tell me what definition of executive decision you are using where directing a quarter-billion dollar corporation with over 75000 active employees does not qualify? If you are not using the traditional definition, then perhaps the videotaping of confessions and interrogations law Obama wrote and single handedly campaigned through the IL senate may count. It has impacted thousands of trials by now.
I also notice you failed to offer an example for Governor Palin. Could YOU cite a specific executive decision Palin has made that has impacted the lives of thousands?

To borrow a title from an old right wing attack book with regard to McCain’s pick none dare call it reason. McCain again put politics before country in picking a political extremist far less qualified than a number of other Republican, both male and female.

obama looks depleted in this wholesome scene now. This is not new.. we have seen all along even his running mate is trying to fool america by changing his position on obama’s readiness for the job… hillary flip flopped…
brainless dems looks dumb and foolish

Palin has voted to teach creationism in science class. That effects thousands of kids. But not in a good way.

America…: Surly a president whose hassquandered a surplus budget, bankrupted this country to China and spends 10 billion a month on a war has been spending all our money.I’m so glad your better off than you were 8 years ago.

And just think…
Only a week ago everyone was sitting around clutching their cell phone or blackberry waiting for that exciting text message from the Messiah, only to be awakened at 3 a.m. (EDT) by the “news” that CNN had already announced three or four hours earlier
I think McCain pulled off a much better production today with his V.P. announcement.

And, Palin helped her sister get back at her ex-husband by firing the guy who refused to fire him. That’s an executive decision.

There’s a lot of thread here – why has NO ONE given us a concrete example of Palin much-touted executive prowess? The only factual examples I see are from her opponents (Palin’s work to get creationism into classrooms, outsource pipeline jobs, etc.). Is that all there is?
No wonder Republicans spend all there time talking about the Democratic candidate.

Palin also was the Commander-in-Chief of the Alaskan National Guard and had to negotiate tough border skirmishes with our enemies… the canadians.

And Blip
Who made you the god of all educational decisions?

“Palin also was the Commander-in-Chief of the Alaskan National Guard and had to negotiate tough border skirmishes with our enemies… the canadians.”
And which other Governor has had to negotiate tough border skirmishes?

What Obama was really saying is that he lost control of his campaign. Can we expect these mixed messages from him if he’s president?

“Obama’s decision to run for office was a personal choice.. not an executive decision.”
Assembling the apparatus to run a Presidential campaign is in many ways more daunting than running a company or even small state.
From fundraising to public relations to strategy the logistics and organization are simply huge.

Obamais in trouble. Better hold a concert event with 100,000 people to lift “the one’s” spirit. Don’t forget the grapes.

Spielberg is considering making a new movie – ‘Obama and the temple of doom’.

Now some folks here are actually equating running a campaign with running a government. How desperate!

Obama has lost control. It’s a trainwreck that is out of control.

I agree with you that CEO’s will get their bonuses. Unfortunately, not Obama, not McCain, and not even JFK would be able to change that. That’s the product of a free market. As long as shareholders of companies think that a particular CEO is worth “millions”, then they will always get paid. As far as bailing out big businesses, both Republicans AND Democrats have done this. For example, financial institutions such as Freddie Mac made thousands of high risk loans because there was a movement that lending institutions weren’t lending enough to people who weren’t making much money. Now Freddie Mac is in trouble, and politicians from both sides of the aisle (including Obama) want to bail them out. However, bailing big business out doesn’t happen that often. Dems say that Reps are giving tax breaks to big corporations and making the middle class suffer. That’s not true. Reps are giving tax breaks to everyone, rich and poor. Big companies and little companies. Yes, a government can tax big companies more. And they are already taxed more. BUT, the more you tax them, the more they move their operations overseas. Plus big companies are great in passing taxes down to consumers. I don’t think the government should be penalizing people who made it to the top. The government should help to create more opportunities for more people to get to the top, whether via education or incentives for companies to keep jobs in America, instead of shipping them overseas. Penalizing companies is not going to do it. Best of luck with your house situation.

I’ve read that Palin is an excellent debater too.
She can just look at Joe and say “your experience isn’t worth a lot given that you’re wrong so often.” LOL

Abel: “Palin taxed the oil drillers in Alaska the gave each resident $1,200.”
Are you serious? Now Palin is single handedly responsible for the Alaska Permanent Fund payouts established when she was 12 years old?
Thanks for the laugh!

Let’s see a VP candidate who wants creationism talk in schools and doesn’t believe on global warming.
A presidential candidate who confesses to being computer illiterate.
Just the ticket to help lead this country in the technologically complex world and markets of the 21st century!

Someone must have taken Obama aside on the plane this morning and said “pssst – you’ve already ticked off women. Are you SURE you want to let that statement about Palin stand?”

“It’s now become readily apparent just how sexist democrats are.
”
The Democratic party is quickly becoming irrelevant.

Rachael -
I was just thinking today that this is the second time Obama has made fun of small towns. At least this time he didn’t accuse the people of being bitter and clinging to their guns and religion.

“Small town America is starting to wake up and believe me the’re not happy. Obama continues to slam our values and doesn’t seem to acknowledge how important we are to him. Does he think all small town people look the same?”
You just don’t “get it”.

does anyone think for one minute that mccain is concerned about us and our country–winning is all that matters doing this he thinks all the hillary people will run to him—-and if the old geser kicks off just think what would be running our country—it is scary but perhaps it has something to do with exxon john as there is oil in alaska–and palins husband works for bp.if you think bush has ruined our country i cannot imagine how bad mccain would be –no good judgement at all.

big guys in alaska what all two of them–or perhaps a moose.

Palin has more executive experience than Obama. She has at least run a state.
Obama is one of 99 other voices, has never run a state or a budget or a business, and has been running for the presidency longer than he’s sat in the Senate and listened to the speeches and voted.

Obama has really ticked women off with his initial statement this morning. And he supposedly has “superior” judgment. hah

Belle Starr – did you hear the interview with Obama when asked about his harsh assessment of Sarah Palin this morning?
His response was one sentence and filled with about 8-9 ah, ah, ah. Literally. We were counting and realized it was about 8 in ONE sentence.

RYN C:
“That’s how 2 term governor from a state with a weak governor system became their nominee. ”
______________
Diss her all you want… but just don’t forget to remind us all how Obama eased his way up the political ladder by having his rich Democratic big wigs, eliminate some of his contenders by, among other classy acts, decreeing that their supporters were unqualified to vote.
Palin won fair and square… a refreshing breath of cool air… and she was actually PRESENT during her terms of office rather than just VOTING PRESENT!
I like that in a woman!
I like that in a candidate!

“Was there some kind of speech or something last night?”
It was more of a teleprompter reading than a speech. It was in front of a cool faux-Greek temple though.

“Obama has said for 1.5 years that Washington is broken. So what does he do? He chooses a 30 year DC insider.
“McCain has said for 1.5 years (or more) that Washington is broken. SO what does he do? He chooses an outsider, reformer, and someone who took on the big guys in Alaska.”

i dont think that the old senile geser will get away with thinking that women are that stupid to fall for this nonsense—-he stated before that all he wants is to get in the white house—-this is just another lame attempt

Thomas,
So you are switching to Bob Barr because of Palin. Who exactly is Bob Barr’s running mate? ROTFL

Can someone tell me what the word “spox” means, and where it came from? All the hep cat political journalists use it, and I’m curious.

where is this woman from–moosejaw–need some help here—mccains next choice grandma moses–it sure is easy to see through this one—wow this is what you call good judgement—no wonder the repubs have our country so screwed up.

“I love all these know-nothings… who diss Obama but don’t even bother to watch his speeches.”
If you’ve seen one teleprompter reading then you’ve seen them all. Sometimes you need to step out from behind the teleprompter and actually do something.

Obama’s classless attack on Sarah Palin this morning was an attack on people who live in small towns and on women.
So much for Obama’s supposedly superior judgment. Good luck winning an election without the small town vote and without the women’s vote.

It’s worthy of repeating; McCain congratulated Zerobameus on his nomination, but in return, this is what McCain got on choosing his running mate:
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,” said Obama spox Bill Burton.

“Rep’s are silver spoon hacks that take care of their cronie friends when they get in office. Wake up!”
Forget silver spoons, we’re talking gold here…Kennedys, Kerry, Gore…..

rodney – you aren’t really talking about a lack of experience for the VP pick are you? Not while your own candidate has ZERO experience.
He’s never run a business, a state or a budget. He is one of 99 other votes and voices in the Senate.
This is a contest between the Hero and the Zero.

“It’s worthy of repeating; McCain congratulated Zerobameus on his nomination, but in return, this is what McCain got on choosing his running mate:”
Its also worth repeating that during that insincere congratulations ad (which followed a week of negative ads) McCain said he would wait till tomorrow to renew the fight.
His campaign hit Obama right after his speech.
GOP hypocrisy knows no bounds.

being in charge of a couple moose and bears is not what i would call experience—after all alaska—what a stretch.

I can understand that Democrats didn’t know much about Palin. But conservatives have been watching her for a while now.
Most conservatives never heard of Obama 2 years ago either, but he’s been a darling in the Democrat party for a while, at least since his 2004 speech at the DNC convention.

So, Obama plays nice and lets someone else do the dirty on the Republican candidate and does know what is going on. I think the BHO people are worried. Today’s newest polls (3) say he lost 2 more points behind McCain. Is that the debounce he wanted? HOPE-voters will buy my BS; CHANGE on position will be coming soon.
Sarah Palin has more experience than Obama and he knows it. 143 days in Washington is not qualification for the prezzzz.
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO OBAMA, NOT NOW, NOT EVER. NO SOCIALIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Ryan!
Manufactured misery is the backbone of Democrats!
If they didn’t make so much of it, they’d never get elected!

Ryan… I know… I was a Republican for 10 years. I had to leave because the whining made me feel so sick

So far I haven’t heard any mention of Obama’s Temple of Dumb speech last night.

Abel: “Palin taxed the oil drillers in Alaska the gave each resident $1,200.”
Are you serious? Now Palin is single handedly responsible for the Alaska Permanent Fund payouts established when she was 12 years old?
Thanks for the laugh!
No JHW539, her plan, unvieled in May is an addtional $1200 administered through the fund

eric
you have to admit –the tales get bigger and bigger—guess she wrestled a grizzly with her bare hands–and kicked a few moose around—-you have to admit they are funny

Belle Star – Very interesting.
I know when Biden became the VP nominee, I was able to do a search for something about Biden and found dozens of articles. They’ve since disappeared for the most part.
So I’m not surprised that Obama’s initial classless response to the announcement about Palin have disappeared. This is how the left plays the game. They believe in free speech. For themselves.

Belle Star – The media are the problem. The biggest part of the problem. I’ve seen situations exactly as you documented but I don’t know a way around it.
By this time I had expected that the internet and bloggers would force the media into at least a shamed position and a tad more truth. Instead, they’ve gotten more blatant.

“No JHW539, her plan, unvieled in May is an addtional $1200 administered through the fund”
That is a one time payout though.
The other post was unclear on that.

all in all you have to admit –this time mcdummy has totally lost his mind–what little he has–or is very desperate.he actually thinks that the women supporting hillary would go against her and vote for him—that is really what i would call a stretch of the imagination.

b lip:
I guess you seee only what you want to see!
McCain’s ad on the eve of B O’s EarMarking speech at the stadium honored Martin Luther King and wished Obama well.
And, as he said, ” but tomorrow’s another day”.
McCain is a Mensch!
I admire that in a candidate!

“I know when Biden became the VP nominee, I was able to do a search for something about Biden and found dozens of articles. They’ve since disappeared for the most part.
“So I’m not surprised that Obama’s initial classless response to the announcement about Palin have disappeared. This is how the left plays the game. They believe in free speech. For themselves.”

What is really scary is Nutty Nancy Pelosi is just 2 heartbeats away from the Presidency.

rodney – Alaska is a State — It is just Obama didn’t know it was one of the 57 states.

kerrie
i thought that only moose and bears lived there—i am sure they outnumber the people—but mccain knows that there is oil there—remember exxon john.

Eric C: “No JHW539, her plan, unvieled in May is an addtional $1200 administered through the fund”
OK, I looked it up. There is no “taxes on oil companies” that pay for it. She is simply giving away $1200 of the permanent fund to every Alaskan (easy to do since there aren’t many, they get all those oil revenues, and they soak the lower 48 – getting $1.87 in federal tax support for every $1 they pay in). Palin’s plan is estimated to cost the state $769 million. As a typical Republican, she offered no offsetting cost cuts or taxes to cover the check she wrote (lucky she started with a free pot of savings to raid since states can’t carry a deficit).

The Amish don’t get entitlements and don’t want them. They successfully lobbied congress years ago to be exempt from SS. THEY ALSO KNOW, WHAT DAMAGE ENTITLEMENTS CAN DO TO THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL AND TO SOCIETY IN GENERAL. REMEMBER JOHNSON’S “GREAT SOCIETY” IN THE SIXTIES? WHAT A DISASTER THAT WAS! AMISH ARE PROBABLY THE LAST OF THE AMERICAN BREED!!

Obama is saying he isn’t in control of what his campaign says – well, why wouldn’t people buy it; they swallow the other drivel he shovels at them. I’m so tired of the passive-aggressive Obama. Waaaay too much drama!

When Palin in charge as VP, she may start fighting over senators who corrupt,……like Obama who got money from Rezko.

What happen to Obama today? Have not seen him except for his nasty remarks about small towns and dissing the Governor of Alaska.
His sing-song speech in the Temple of Dome last night must have really tired the poor guy out. Or was it knowing that McCain picked a VP candidate with more experience and credibility than he has. I certainly do not want any of his snake oil that cures all ills. How can a Harvard man be so dumb and out of touch with main stream American families? I just wished there was ONE item on his agenda that I felt confident he will be able to bring to pass. Most of his ideas just cost more money–like tax and spend.
Looking forward to seeing the best man in the White House and that will not be the socialist.

Way to go Obama, with your first press release, you dis small town people again in reference to Sarah Palin’s Mayorship, those same bitter people who cling to guns and religion…way to keep losing those voters!
McCAIN/PALIN!

I’m a little lost. The state trooper could not have done anything wrong, because he would have been arrested? So if the trooper was never arrested for wrong doing, then this is just another case of two people getting a divorce. We all know that in a divorce someones lying! So, with that said why would the troopers boss firer him? I would not think the trooper would be fired unless he broke the law? As governor you must have a lot of free time or I guest she must of made time to have him fired? I just can not see why this would be the governor’s job, to fired troopers If she tried their must be something else going on there? Now, in this country we all have rights even people we don’t like so, to say she was right is just not American!! To pick her to be V.P. and she did not know what a V.P. did, when asked is a little scary! I can not see someone who has never been to Washington running the government. Maybe someone that has only been in Washington a short time is a bit better? A person in the senate has more government experience than a governor. A Harvard law professor has more government experience than a mayor!! When you pick someone to be on your ticket as V.P. you should meet with them more than twice!! Picking someone because their a woman is the wrong way to go and sets back the movement years!! As a woman you want a job not because your a woman but, because your the best at that position. This is very, very scary, John gets sick and she’s President of America ( not V.P.) I’m very ALARMED!!! I think McCain should have had more respect for the republican party and pick someone in the race as Obama has. What an insult to the rest of the republicans this is!! I’m sorry I can not vote for you John, this is not right!!!

“Voters chose Obama after 22 debates over countless months. McCain chose Palin after one meeting.”
Superdelegates choose Obama. Hillary vote the vote total. Regardless you are comparing a VP with a presidential candidate. On that note Biden fails miserably
Biden has quit before voters could reject him -he quit after the Iowa caucus with %1. He quit in 1988 8becuase of a scandal.

Think about it, John McCain is 72 years old and has had multiple bouts of cancer, now in remission. So are we really JUST considering Palin for VP? It probably doesn’t matter though because Republicans can’t be too happy about the pick.

McCain has put the country at risk — all ads aare needed to point thiks out ,,,
McCain VP and his rash behavior — Country at Risk
More rash dangerous decisions.
McCain only talked with his VP choice last week. He just does not know her. McCain is willing to make a decision that could impact the country on one conversation!!!
And we all know that McCain still has cancer. He looked death in the eye 2 times. One was just after the 2000 presidential race where he tried to be selected by the GOP presidential candidate. Shortly after he had to have an operation of 5 hours. He gets checked once a month. But there is nothing that can be done if the cancer starts to spread quickly. That means that there is a chance that he will die or be very sick when he is President. This puts his VP choice as the new President. She a smart and clever person, but is is not brilliant and grossly ignorant of the world. There are high school students that know more than she does.

McCain’s lame and so is his VP choice. Nuff said..
Obama/Biden ’08

I am not writing to judge her as a good or bad mother- but, I could not help but notice when she finished the speech in Dayton how her little girl was left to walk alone straggling behind her mom. How could she let her adorable little girl, with her smile be totally ignored and left to stand there alone or follow her mom around the crowded podium? Also from body language of the whole family, I was concerned as I saw no warmth between siblings, this little girl could have her mom hold her hand, her dad, or at least Mom Palin could have kept an eye on where the little girl was on the stage- instead of leaving her to follow around at the knee height of all the adults. McCain did not seem to notice her either. At the least in a warm family I would have expected the older siblings to watch over their little sister or hold her hand.( I know in my family the older kids automatically look out for the little ones) Watch the clip again to see what I mean.
Basking in the limelight with no concern or even any attention to even her young daughter or… her other kids for that matter. I hope she learns to hold her little daughters’ hand and not ignore the child’s needs when on the stage like that ever again… or at the least hire a nanny who will tend to the child’s needs. Children have many needs and especially when they subjected to being in a new environment or the political spotlight. This made me really question all the hubbub of her being a great mom.
Also most of my pro-life adopt children who need home if they want kids after 40 and they practice responsible family planning -rather than have more kids at that age which is unfair risk for the child having genetic problems for their whole lives. It is the child who lives with these issues. Most parents don’t have money to help their kids with all the related physical and medical problems that come with downs syndrome. The Governor has great health insurance- but what about insurance in Alaska for families for kids with disabilities who need medical care that their families can’t afford!
Also, the few friends who did get pregnant after 40 did not even get any genetic testing- why as pro-life did Palin even get genetic testing?
