Obama Tries to Call Out McCain on OBL

If McCain knows how to get him, as he says, why is he withholding the information?

McCain also said that evil needs to be destroyed. Well Mr McCain is what Russia is doing right now evil??? Sure seems evil to me. Does this mean that we should destroy Russia.
McCain will lead us another Cold War. He is already helping to push it this way and he isn’t even our President.

McSame has a lower IQ therefore should not lead the greatest nation on earth. God save America from McWBush.

Hasn’t Obama stated he would go into Pakistan in order to get Osama?
I wonder how invading a nuclear armed country would work out for him?

This attack also attempts to aggrandize Obama’s ability to ‘get’ Osama from Pakistan.
“All he’s got to do is go to Afghanistan and Pakistan”? It isn’t quite that easy, Senator Obama.

david- As Obama pointed out back when he was debating Hillary (and both Hillary and McCain jumped on him as naive to be thinking about acting unilaterally against our “ally” Musharraf, Pres Bush had just that week sent a drone into Pakistan and unilaterally attacked another al qaeda (sp?).

Jay-
Not fair to attack an opponent on his position on issues? But fair to attack an opponent personally?

This is the Mccain who abandoned his wife after she was critically injurd in an accident for a wealthy woman – l won’t be suprised if he abandones
America for georgia – after he gets most of our children killed in georgia,iran, iraq, russia and venezuala etc….- talk about judgements

Obama keeps showing what an inexperienced candidae he is. I cannot think of a VP candidate that could help him overcome this weakness.

chad22….I can vote for McCain and I was a Hillary supporter to boot.
McCAIN ’08/HILLARY ’12

DEBRA AND ALL PUMAS—-If none OBAMA in 08 NEVER CLINTON EVER!!!!!! We OBAMA supporters will never forget nor forgive. You can take that to the bank!

hey ready
hillary just wants the money she is out.
and noone is donating—wonder why

mccain is alredy counting his take if he wins—–WHY DO YOU THINK EXXON JOHN IS SHOWING HIMSELF ON OFF SHORE OIL RIG
HE STILL THINKS HE CAN BS US WITH THAT CRAP—OSB JUST SOUNDS GOOD TO MOST AMERICANS AND HE PLAYS ON THAT.THIS DINASAUR TYPE POLITICS IS DISGUSTING–BUT THEN WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM A DINOSAUR

HEY READY
IF SHE HAS 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS ALL THEY WOULD NEED TO DO IS SEND HER $1.50 EACH AND SHE WOULD BE OUT OF DEBT—I TEND TO THINK THAT THE 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS IS SIMPLY A BUNCH OF CRAP

as the electon gets closer mccain will be called out on all his past—the slogan will be remember the enterprise—his child like attacks against obama just shows what he really is.

Mike -
There’s plenty of irony to be found in McCain claiming (after a five year detour through Iraq), that he’ll pursue OBL to the “gates of hell” but the following’s one of the best.
Obama said during one of the debates that if he had actionable intelligence on OBL’s whereabouts and Pakistan refused to act, he would. Clinton and McCain huffed, puffed, hyperventilated and jumped on him for being wreckless, naive and irresponsible.
A short time later, the military did have actionable intelligence on the whereabouts of several AQ leaders in Pakistan. They were taken out by a drone without “permission” from the Pakistanis.
As has frequently proven to be the case on the Middle East, Obama was right while McCain and Clinton were wrong. “Experience” doesn’t amount to much if it’s not accompanied by judgement.

Hillary received over 18 million votes in the primary elections. More than Obama. This is a fact look it up.

McCain has an advantage on national security issues? What planet are you living on?
McCain says he knows how to win wars.
Heh. heh. heh.
Maybe he should point us to one he “won”. Or maybe he’s just another armchair quarterback.

Just because mc-more-war was a pow does not mean he should be president. The guy used to have a spine but now is nothing but a flip-flopper and a panderer. He’s also an OLD fart. The real straight-talker, John Murtha said that the Presidency is no place for an OLD man. There’s a reason they make pilots retire at age 60. mc-more-war needs to retire with his millionaire wife. (The one he had an affair with after his first wife waited for him to come back from the war.) Obama 2008!!!

Jay:Obviously you do not keep up with Chicago politics.

McCain’s advantages on national security issues are in the eye of the beholder. Right now McCain is running off the fumes of the Schmidt/Rove attack ads. McCain was quick on the trigger when it came to Russia. Our troops are over stretched with both Iraq and Afghanistan. Was it smart for McCain to threaten Russia without the ability to back it up? Does America needs a campaign of fear taken right out of the pages of the cold war or Rove play book? When John McCain says “he’d ‘follow him to the gates of Hell’, his Republican pollsters must have cheered because those of us who have family heading to Afghanistan are not. We are not interested in Republican polled sound bites or rhetoric. With Barack Obama you get the sense that he will work with allies and reach across party lines to find a solution.

Jake, don’t you mean “Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois”?

debra
just an after thought—do you realize that a large percentage were repub crossovers and just wanted to stop obama and failed.

Cindy McCain has claimed falsely and repeated constantly that she’s an only child – even th she knows – she’s got a half sister. Heartless!!
what else are the McCains hiding??
America beware!!!

By the way, McCain finally made his appearnce on an Oil Rigg today. The reason it was postponed until now was becasue there was an OIL SPILL in the Mississippi River! This is what some call irony but I call THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN!
IDIOTS!

Should we call it a nice try, or a nasty one?

‘Vietnam Vets Against McCain’, you make a good point. If the Navy didn’t see McCain as admiral material, if he graduated at the bottom of his class, if he has voted in Congress for years while admitting he knows little about the economy, (sheesh!) maybe he just isn’t presidential material. Especially in this crucial time for our country with two wars, the economy in trouble, our deficit ballooning, etc. we need someone with the smarts to figure a way out of this mess. Obama is smart, his plans make sense and he has shown good judgement time and again on big issues.

Obama is smart, but he doesn’t claim he knows any more about economics than JM. BHO’s solution to the economy has been tried over and over again without success. His plans are not new nor well thought out.
When a foreign crisis hit in Georgia, BHO recommended the UN Security Council draft a resolution to get Russia out. He didn’t know that Russia sits on that council and has the power to veto any resolution. This is UN 101 and he didn’t know it.
Since then BHO has taken the safe road and now mirrors whatever JM’s position on Georgia is.

anidel:
Diarhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain soundz more like Obama than like McCain…..
Just thinking….
You should try it one day!

Not quite so obvious. Increasing taxes will not lower gas prices nor will it help increase economic activity. Adjusting the tire pressure and getting tune ups will not save more than all the offshore prodution that BHO claims.
Experts testified that while offshore drilling may take a few years gas prices will be much higher than if there isn’t any drilling.
BHO has stated repeatedly he is all for high gas prices and wouldn’t mind if they increased so long as they didn’t jump up suddenly.
BHO stated he wants to “force” us to drive a new electric car that hasn’t even been built yet. This dream car gets 150 miles before recharging. Current technology is a car that can go 40 miles IF you don’t use a heater or air conditioning and IF the land is flat. It also requires the owner to buy $30k of new batteries every 3 years. I’m sure you’ll buy 2 at this price.
Compare BHO energy plan with JM’s. JM will support the same green technologies that BHO does but he also adds drilling, nuclear and dropping ethanol to lower food prices. JM actually gave a speech in Iowa saying he will cut their ethanol subsidy ! That took guts.
BHO stated he will continue ethanol subsidies.
If being a good leader is promising things that can’t or aren’t likely to happen but sounds wonderful, BHO is your man! Just keep believing…

Please note, every barrel of oil sold overseas reduces our balance of trade and improves the value of the dollar.
The 5 year leases are a good idea only if the permit process to explore, the permit process to set up a test oil rig and the permit process to set up production oil rigs take one week or less. If it takes 2 yrs because the explosions needing to take place to find oil and other permits/lawsuits take years it doesn’t make sense.
The oil companies pay more in taxes than they make in profits. One company alone paid more in income taxes than 50% of ALL US Citizens combined!
If oil is bought overseas, the profit made by foreigners selling the oil is never taxed. If the oil is drilled here, our US treasury gets a cut.Best result, drill here!

McCain’s line “I’d Follow OBL to the gates of hell” is a good line, but it’s just a line.
McCain has also made it clear that the gates of hell are along the border of Pakistan, because he’s mocked Obama for his statements that he’d bomb Pakistan if actionable intelligence warranted it, and the Pakistani government wasn’t playing ball.
So, you see, OBL will be quite safe ensconced in Pakistan under a McCain administration.

Wasn’t McCain clear? He said he wanted to follow him to Hell, not Afghanistan or Pakistan. The scenery’s so much better in Hell, besides which, McCain’s time as a POW probably makes him nostalgic.

subsistantpotfarmer If a company loses money and has a loss for the year how much money would YOU charge them based on income? Not all corporations make money every year.

I have grown weary of the traditional stereotypes and appellations that are attached to Democrats and Republicans these days. The idea that Democrats are “liberal” and like to “tax and spend” or that Republicans are “conservative” or “fiscally responsible” have become trite and irrelevant in today’s disastrous situation that 8 years of Republican leadership have brought to the USA.
In terms of foreign policy, the Iraq war, a discretionary war initiated by the Bush White House, has had an irrevocable cost in terms of the lost lives of US service personnel, the lost lives of allied service personnel and the lost/disrupted lives of innocent Iraqi’s who have been killed, injured or displaced. The justification for the invasion of the sovereign nation of Iraq was weak and controversial. It is still unclear what the objective was, and although it is almost 2000 days since George Bush pronounced “mission accomplished”, our servicemen continue to die, millions of Iraqi’s are displaced, and our servicemen, like my son in “the other war in Afghanistan”, are streched-thin. The Taliban continue their own brand of terrorism in Afghanistan, killing our military personnel and civilians alike at an ever-increasing rate. Yet even with the Afghanistan war already underway, we invaded Iraq in a fog of terrorist paranoia, for revenge, or oil, or something, and now, in Afghanistan, the casualties are mounting and the Taliban is experiencing a resurgence some 7 years after 9-11.
Barack Obama opposed the essentially unilateral invasion of Iraq, and therein lies an example of his conservatism and the “wisdom beyond his years”. Using UN inspection teams, sanctions and other measures was much more of a conservative approach than an outright invasion of a sovereign nation, and it was that invasion that Barak Obama opposed!
Isn’t it funny, that now, as he campaigns for the Presidency, even John McCain acknowledges that “this is the 21st century, nations don’t invade other sovereign nations” – that’s his current advice when it comes to Russia and Georgia, even though he and his buddy “W” were at the helm of invading the Iraqi sovereign nation just a few short years ago. That takes “flip-flopping” to a new height!
Domestically, its just as ridiculous to use the traditional stereotypes about Democrats and Republicans. People talk about raising taxes as if it were illegal, immoral or the devil’s work. I would submit that, again, the Republican administration has not in any way been fiscally responsible in that they have not taken any measures to pay for their discretionary war in Iraq. This cost is not being addressed and it is an incredibly huge cost, one that will come back to haunt our children and grandchildren. It seems much more fiscally irresponsible to “spend without taxing”, than it is to “spend and tax”. That’s not rocket science, it’s basic “Budgeting 101″
We, as citizens, have to understand that nothing is free, so that if we want services and benefits and infrastructure, and even war, we must pay for it and we pay for it in the form of taxes. So again, it’s not Republican conservatism and fiscal responsibility that are serving our nation today, it is Republican reactionary war-mongering and reckless deficit-spending that are putting us deeper and deeper into debt, along with death, destruction and ridicule on the world stage.
Barack Obama opposed the war in Iraq. He voted against the invasion before it was so obviously a disaster. Barack Obama understands the concept of fiscal responsibilty, and, what the heck, Barack Obama even knows how many houses he owns!
It’s time for a change. It’s time to stop using traditional stereotypical descriptions. It’s time to return to intelligent and conservative decision-making in the White House. It’s time to elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.
Conservatively yours!
