Obama Uses “He” Pronoun When Discussing His VP

Sebelius from Kansas would be a great pick as she is a drama free adult who is actually qualified for the job through her holding of the executive spot in the Kansas government. All but Kane are weak in comparison.

I hope and pray he doesn’t pick Hillary. She is too important for 2012 to go down in flames with this phony. He will probably pick Biden, but it won’t matter. Obama was never strong enough to choose Hillary, who is better than him in every way as a potential President.

After Obama’s poor performance on saturday night I’m not sure what difference the VP candidate will make. His performance will be picked apart for months and will be seen as a major turning point in the election.

He = PUMA trouble at the convention.

Who cares!
Hillary 2012!

carl29, an even amount of tickets were given to each campaign. How was the audience biased?

for goodness sakes, the media is just all silly and giddy who Obama will take to the prom, aren’t they? Aren’t you just soooooooo excited that you just want to scream? And what will Paris Hilton be wearing tomorrow?
meanwhile, the economy stinks, nations are at war, and we have our futures to worry about.
President McCain….maverick, hero, patriot.

The dem party is a mess under the “leadership” of Pelosi and Dean. The Clinton people are going to keep Obama from being elected and the Obama people want to keep Clinton off the ticket as VP in 08 and Pres in 12. Wow what a great job Pelosi and Dean are doing. Do I hear pay raise?

HRC is not the VP nor will be the Dem. nominee in 2012. Stop dreaming.

Obama is 47 years of age, he can run for the next 4 elections if it pleases him. However, since Hillary is not a “little girl” she doesn’t have that many runs. 2012 is her last chance, and believe there will be plenty of people to push the candidate to defeat her. Don’t count on racist voters next time around.

Obama will be our next 2 term president. Just forget about HRC; it ain’t happening.

Isn’t it the same guy who said more than once that McCain was in a “cone of silence”? Did you see the interview in which Rick Sanchez asked him? What was his answer in the beginnig? Did he came forward with the truth or Rick had to call him on it?
The first time I heard about the tickets was on CNN the afternoon leading to the forum. They said it, and then I looked it up on the internet.

Go ahead and vote Republican. Everytime you go to get something to eat perhaps they’ll give you a loan. :-(

What an arrogant snob. This man has not a humble bone in him.

again on the rick warren thing…not convinced he’s a liar…but they’re certainly doing a fair amount of track covering over at the Saddleback ranch now aren’t they?
I’m not well enough acquainted with his ministries to judge him,(plus it’s above my pay grade)..but impressions are NOT good.
If I was mildly interested in a Christianity of that sort, watching them in action would be enought to turn me off.
It certainly LOOKS like Warren would do well to donate a little more of his monthly food budget to the poor. LOL

Why can’t Obama supporters just accept that he got his butt kicked in the forum and quit blaming everyone else. Get use to it he’s going down fast.

The propigandist carl29 said
“Orange County Democratic Party Chairman Frank Barbaro said he is concerned that charging for tickets – with tickets costing up to $2,000 – will shut out many Obama supporters from the event.”
The VERY NEXT DAY
Barack Obama raked $7.8 million Sunday at three separate fundraisers in San Francisco, telling a VIP dinner crowd — many of whom paid $28,500 to attend — that he would win the presidency in November but to expect a tough battle with Republicans in the meantime.
“John McCain, all he wants to do is talk about me,” Obama told supporters. “They know they can’t win on the issues. So what they’ll do is they’ll try to scare people:’He’s risky. He’s risky. We’re not sure.’”
Obama was introduced at the dinner by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him “a leader God has blessed us with at this time.”

I love to GET EVEN with DNC…..
————————————-
You will get even alright, you like many other who has faith in the republican party will sink, because were’re sinking as we speak,think not that the gas price will stay low,if you call 3.80 low,if obama don’t win, pay atention to gas price and be prepare to enlist you sons and daughters for mclame’s new war.

he = could be a head fake.

Carl29 – that’s the problem – too many people take the shortest route and miss the beauty of the journey as well as really pondering the consequences

Yes! who started the the eight year downward spiral,it was not the democrats and definitly not Obama or the NAACP, yes guess who,how quickly we forget, no wmd in iraq and we are fighting for what reason-hmm.

Right on, Carl!….You sound like the kinda guy I like to do business with. Interested in a bridge in Brooklyn?

I mean maybe I missed a slight at senior citizens on here…but if it was in a reference to my “butter teeth” comment taken personally – i’m sorry…
Just seriously would think someone with access to Cindy’s money that loves to be on tv as much as him…would’ve got the things capped by now….she’s certainly seen the plastic surgery office

Better be a HE I will not vote for him if she is on the ballot.Not change same ole Washington crap if he picks her.

Thanks Carl29!

Who the HECK CARES who obama will pick if it isn’t Hillary? The Democratic Party will have learned a very important lesson if obama picks anyone but Hillary: they drove many, many hard-core Democrats away from the Party this election year—-it will show come election time, when Hillary-supporters will NOT VOTE OBAMA. Can’t wait to see how close THIS Presidential race is gonna be………….!!!

don…
i appreciate your point of views and concerns. Sorry if I offended.
Nevertheless, I have examined MY conscience and will vote for Senator Obama.
Best regards

Bad News for Obama if he used the word he. I will guarantee that he will lose the election in November due lack of reality thinking. The only way he can win is to name Hillary who has just about as many supporters as he does. I will again repeat that he will lose alot of votes and right now as tight as the election is he might as well say goodbye to the presidency.

Boyeeee – The truth may take some time to explain. It is worth reading every word and not taking shortcuts.
To some of you turncoats … I am a Dem and I will not “give in” and vote for McCain simply because I do not like Obama or can’t stand Clinton. I make the choice based on the facts I read and what I see. Never vote for another party if you believe in America, but hate the candidate – use the write-in choice for another Dem

If Biden is so great, why hasn’t he been more successful in his previous attempts at the Presidency. I think he’s big mistake that Obama does not have to make.

War is all he knows, he can’t tell americans how to fix the economy his answers to everything is (shoot it).

Debra, NO!!! Shouldn’t John McCain take some of that $4 million from the oil company execs he got and give to Katrina victims?
Furthermore I am a Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran…I know how it is to be used for “political propaganda” I understand how John McCain is a fraud for Veterans(THE NEW G.I. BILL IS AWESOME…YOU KNOW THE ONE HE OPPOSED!! THE ONE THAT ENSURES ALL VETERANS WILL NEVER NEED STUDENT LOANS!!) That is why all of my Veteran friends and I are 100% Barack Obama…. It’s just the uneducated Veterans that don’t understand the real “issues.”

Obama and McCain are in a virtual tie in the polls going into convention week. Why isn’t Obama leading? He should have a double digit lead over McCain just like congressional democrats have over republicans. Don’t tell me it has to do with cel phones etc, NPR did it’s own survey on this and showed it made little to no difference in polls. The fact is Hillary got the popular vote and a lot of people just don’t want him. When this started Pelosi, Dean, Kennedy and the gang thought Obama would get the popular vote and not the delegates and carried on about the will of the voters should prevail, you cannot over turn the vote and we need to follow their lead. Fast forward to June and we have the opposite scenario and the flip flopping begins. No one was interested in the will of the voters at all. This is why so many Hillary supporters don’t want to vote for Obama myself included.

People from other counties don’t need to bang down the door bush is letting them in for free.

According to CBS 61% of Hillary’s pledged delegates want her to be Obama’s V.P. How many Obama pledged delegates want Hillary as VP? less than 5%, yeah you read well: FIVE %. Who doesn’t stand who? yeah…Hillary supportes!!!

maryintampa…. Has it ever occured to you that most people are “undecided” They dont know much about his “Foreign Policy” That is why Joe Biden will fill that “void” geesh… You Live 84 miles west of me…Hows the weather over there?!

legitimately voted on.
——————————-
that started with a lie!

The English language has changed to be more “politically correct”. At one time in our not too distant past is was perfectly acceptable to use the masculine reference when gender is unknown or irrelevant. It still should be. Not an insult it’s just easier to say or write “he” than to say or write “he or she”. …. Having said that, while I don’t agree with 99% of what Obama says I don’t think he’s foolish enough to name Hillary Clinton as a running mate. Obama is aware of the blood trail behind the Clinton rise to power. Naming Hillary as a VP would be suicidal and Obama knows it.

John in Cape May said Isn’t it funny, in February all the leftest obama promotional journalist on MSNBC, CNN Were saying how Republicans were going to cross the isle and vote for the great unifier. But it is a large chunk of democrats who are running from this phony, unaccomplished politician and voting for McCain…SPOT ON!

g-man…you are confusing the wars. the firsy one in 1991 was to assist Kuwait to get Iraqi invaders out of their country. Cheney was Defense Secretary at that time and begged daddy Bush to march on Baghdad. Bush said that we would honor our commitment to Kuwait and go no further. Unlike his son, the Cheney puppet, he was an honorable man. This new war with Iraq was based on a lie – many lies, to be exact. Pay attention in history class, man

I am a Hillary’s fan. I AM MAD LIKE HELL! I am not voting for OBAMA. Period.

Where is this dude gettin this Obama supporters are voting McCain?? Only phony I see is Liebermann.. And if he’s the VP, They won’t win, they’ll make up for the two ugliest duos ever ! Obama-Biden ’08 !

I would have hoped that Obama just had a slip of the generic term tongue….still HOPING for CHANGE with a woman in the White HOUSE. The only way for true unity and change is Hillary as VP!

I’d vote for Obama, I’d vote for Clinton. Hells bells, I’d even vote for Edwards at this point! Any of them are much, much better than the alternative.

I give credit to Jake Tapper for picking a nice topic, but Obama is a precise thinker and speaker, so when he said, “I won’t hand over my energy policy to my vice president, without knowing necessarily what he’s doing,” Obama was referring to Cheney, a male.
However, it was really a mistake for Obama to take a vacation at such a critical time recently, and thereby plummer from a small lead to a tie in the polls. Clearly, Obama needs some more political acumen right now on his side, namely the Clintons, if he wants to win this thing.
Remember, Obama never has won a contested election, and this one coming up will be contested. Clinton will help him more than Biden, not just politically, but strategicly.

Bottom line:
Obama/Anybody but Hillary ’08
P.S: I like Obama/Biden ’08, though.

Mclame and Mcsame said the troop surge is working as long as we keep the troops there for a hundred years.

DON, NO !!! I’d vote for any1 like MIKE said…. I’d vote for Edwards…. Just as long as they weren’t affiliated with the Republican party… I suggest you go read “The Ways Of The World” It’s A GREAT BOOK !! I know Barack’s a POLITICIAN… But the guys Special, and he stands out… Of course he can’t “please” everyone, but he’s the best choice we’ve had since JFK !!! I’m glad you work 2 jobs, I lost 2 CLOSE friends… Thats why I don’t feel bad about “getting” the government ;]

my vice is that obama is so nice and so friedly he will be the beast hillary tryed her beast to be president so maby nest try vote for obamabecause he is rally nice!

DON, I suggest you go “serve” the government in a WAR that you KNOW the WHOLE TIME is fake.. SERIOUSLY THE WHOLE TIME!! in 140+ degree weather.. LOSE 2 CLOSE FRIENDS… Then tell me how you feel about a certain party filled with corruption and a candidate promising to continue to “failed policy” YOU WILL WANT “CHANGE” Obama/Biden ’08 !!

UCF – he does stand out but for the wrong reasons – I wish i could stay up and chat some more. Start reading your textbooks. There’s a lot to learn. You seem to ahve a closed mind on this. A good poli-sci student keeps an open mind. Think about it, Good Night, UCF

Don, Good Night !! Thanks for your SERVICE !

oh…this whole “testing the waters” thing with Mccain to see if he can get away with picking a “prochoice” vp is just too good.
Let’s see…will the “base” turn on him? Will he cave into Limbaugh? Dare he pick Lieberman?
What a man of principles…true convictions that one….
what oh what will it take to get elected?
word up evangelicals..LOL

UCF – I was in the first one. I know what it is like, but mine was worth it. I missed Viet Nam by enlisting in the Air Force – that was another unjust war – I still lost 5 very close friends there. Last thought – Obama cannot change anything Congress does not allow him to change – with the idiots we have there – there will be no change. That is what people forget. The President cannot change a thing, unless he writes his own laws as Bush has done. Can’t support a nobody, sorry UCF.

I know…how bout pat robertson for mccain’s vp? Remember McCain said he was “evil” just a few short years ago?
Maybe evil can fight evil at the fiery gates with mccain when they capture bin laden..
it just gets better and better doesn’t it?

MvCain/Palin 2008
Hillary 2012

HRC supporters (Republicans anyway) stating you’ll vote for McCain – please go ahead. Your threats, posturing and inability to get past your emotional baggage over your candidate not getting nominated is an embarrassment to smart women with a grasp of policies and issues at stake this election. Obama is leading over 20% with the women’s vote and once women become educated about McCain’s past voting record as well as current beliefs on women’s rights then you can know pulling the lever for McCain is a betrayal to being a woman. If that doesn’t bother you – vote McCain.

Attention Hllary Supporters:
The DNC has destroyed Clinton for the present. She is not a part of the ultra-liberal plan. It’s as simple as that — Hillary and the traditional democrats have been ousted by those who want nothing less than to socialize America.

I might vote for him if he picked Michael Palin…but not Sarah Palin. Pah-lease.

hmm…not sure pin-up girl Palin’s the female HRC Supporters have in mind…
not cleared of the probe into her official conduct yet either…
possible scandal material…
that would be rich…let’s hope so!
LOL

If Obama WERE choosing Hillary, I doubt he would be lame minded enough to refer to the VP as HER anyway.
Seeing as how they plan to generate enormous media buzz (for example, this silly article)and hence free coverage on Saturday by keeping it secret and the guy says she? Even if it is Hillary on the ticket, Obama would never be so stupid.
This article is stupid.

Nancy, the last time i checked, Hillary was the loser.
Get over it, Hillary is not on the ticket and its starting to sink in.

DOESN’T MATTER WHO HE PICKS FOR VP–I’M NOT VOTING FOR HIM.

Please dont dismiss Clinton supporters. Personally, I voted for Edwards because of the economy. Clinton represented the center position, and Obama the right. (shows how narrow our political spectrum is). Yes, Obama was right on the war and everyone else was tainted by it. Clinton did bring the best health care plan (even though the American people overwhelmingly want national health care, her plan was better than nothing). She brings alot to the election.
It is worthy of note, (although the sock puppets here will never mention it) real Hillary supporters represented half of the platform committee, and worked really well with the Obama folks in putting it together. There is alot of unity now between the campaigns, and the convention is going to highlight that.

Hilary fans that hate Obama,
vote AGAINST Pro-Choice, go a head!
also, Women, remember how McCain treated his first wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCain’s infidelity will come out soon. It is a story that will shock all. John McCain’s 1st wife stood by his side and waited for him while he was a POW. Then when he was released and sent to a Navy Hospital in Hawaii, his 1st wife was involved in a car accident and paralized. What did John McCain do? He went and had an affair with a Navy Nurse in Hawaii and divored his paralized wife. He then married the Navy Nurse.
why is this story being sat on?

Thanks Mike…
a rational realistic human being…
I’ve sensed an even greater sense of unity behind Barack ever since the Mccain “Saturday Night Live” show at the Saddleback Ranch.
Methinks it was a wise move regardless of the naysayers.

William your news is about 30 years too late, my friend. McCain’s ex wife Carol and he are still friendly, so leave it alone….we have enough to worry about with Edward’s love child.

Jennifer, your comments are so on target, but I’m afraid the women who still want Hillary are aren’t going to take heed. They are beginning to sound so childish, like they didn’t get their way so they are going to go play with someone else, McCain. It’s a sad day in the USA when people will vote for McCain simply because Obama beat Hillary. What a poor excuse.

Debra- don’t care that you were a Hillary supporter and are now voting for McCain. It’s okay just to say you are voting for McCain. There’s nothing like a woman turning her back on women’s rights. Way to go and good luck with your candidate.

McCain, the federalist, will be satisfied with states having the ability to vary the maximum weeks for abortion freedom down from 26. Most states likely would pick 13 or 16 or 20, and then this issue would not hold us hostage any more. The possibility of getting the abortion issue behind us politically is one good reason for Hillary supporters to stay home. Obama supporters do not want to understand where we are coming from., and would rather proclaim we are McCain spies, rather than recognize they themselves are close minded.

Jokerous….
hmmmm…. the “judgment” word again?
Isn’t that what the Senate Ethics Committee said MCcain lacked when they “spanked” him for his involvement in Keating?

Debra,
no, it’s not old news to the public,
not at All. Edwards and his wife also have made up, so have Bill and Hillary.
the NYTimes has pointed out after the Saddleback joke of a forum that
it was interesting he brought it up to Warren because he is rather hush-hush about his Adultery.

William:
Because there is no story. It’s old news. Everybody wants to be the “Judge” on something that happened in his past that has no bearing on his ability to effectively lead this country and prevent its falling under the terrorist scourge. No one’s perfect (well, maybe Obama, if you’re a democrat). Bottom line: Experience, Conviction, Patriotism, and Intergrity is what we should vote on and the clear choice is Sen. McCain.

McCain voted in favor of the bill that included the bear study funding; he was absent for key votes on the Woodstock museum (including one on an amendment he co-sponsored); and he never specifically tried to eliminate the bridge earmark and missed some crucial votes on that one, as well.
Whatever happened to truth in advertising?

eman…
it’s either women or repubs posing as women to try to sway women….
do they think we’re stupid?
If we were – we’d vote McCain for sure.

Emm,
you say “…Conviction,…and Intergrity…”
interesting choice of words there.
that was some Intergrity and Conviction [of his vows] he showed his first wife. ALSO, so ironic how he loves to talke about his POW time,
but is soo hush-hush about what he did to the Honor of his wife when he got out. Very interesting!

stacy……….yes it is. it is over.

I intend to vote for Obama….unless Hillary is his running mate.I don’t want another “Clinton”any where near the White House.

To the person who wrote:
McCain/Palin 2008
Hillary 2012
I can see that. Full agreement.

This election is not about change. It is about who can best help our country and the world. McCain would keep running up the debt, and fight as many wars as possible, which could get dangerous. Obama would do what again to help us and the world?

Debbie-McCain voted to cover Viagra, but not cover birth control. Yes, its available, but thanks to McCain – often not affordable to many. Also, the abortion argument is absurd as the two sides are not even arguing the same thing. You can be pro-choice and anti-abortion. I won’t tell you what to do with your body and you don’t tell me what to do with mine.

I’m voting for the man i believe Jesus would vote for. Obama 2008, not just good for america, but also good for the world.

everytime I turn around, Obama is shouting out how the American people are hurting and he, the “Messiah” is going to swoop down and “save” us, yet people can afford to pay $500-$2000 to see him at an event? What is wrong with this picture? America is actually the richest country in the world. The average dwelling of the American poor person has more square footage than the average overall residence in every European nation. We have more TV’s, cars and computers, yet we still find something to complain about. Obama is trying to guilt us into voting for him. What more can he do, really? We have a welfare system in place, unemployment benefits, stimulus checks, etc. The Republican party has not taken these away, but, if you listen to Obama, McCain will take away every social program and your first born child!

Why does MSNBC find room for this kind of trivial fluff piece and doesn’t even mention Obama’s critical responses to McCain’s continuous character smears?

Obama being secretive is par for the course. Obama is so secretive about so many things one wonders what Obama is hiding?
A partial list of documents the Obama campaign has declined to make available: Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Harvard University records, medical records, Illinois State Senate records, certified copy of birth certificate, Selective Service registration, law practice client list, undergraduate thesis, SAT and LSAT scores, law school application. Yeah, they’re a veritable font of information and a model of transparency. What the heck are they hiding?
The most recent group of documents that are being withheld from the public are records related to Obama’s work on the Annenberg Challenge, a non profit group linked to William Ayers, an unrepentant domestic terrorist. Per The San Francisco Chronicle:
“The University of Illinois on Tuesday refused to release records relating to Barack Obama’s service to a nonprofit group linked to former 1960s radical activist William Ayers.
The university’s Chicago campus said the donor of the records that document the work of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge has not yet turned over ownership rights to the material.”
First off, I did not know that there was an “owner” of a non profits documents. The documents by law should be available to the public. So what is the University of Illinois trying to hide and does it have any thing to do with the fact Ayers is one of their professors? Just hope no one is in the process of destroying the documents.

Obama voted against a bill in Illinois that would save the life of a baby born alive after an abortion than lied about why he voted against the bill. Obama said the reason he voted against the bill was because it did not contain the wording necessary to protect Roe vs Wade. Fact is the aforementioned wording was in the bill and Obama still voted against the bill. I do not think Jesus would vote for a guy who would vote against a bill that would save the life of a baby. Once I found out about this I do not understand how anyone who claims to be a Christian could ever vote for Obama.

Who cares about Obama’s VP…….
Obama will be the next member to
join the losers CLUB after the november
elections……
Hey…DNC…deal with it…..
I’m a democrat voting republican in
november……
Democrats lose every 4 years….
ARE THEY EVER LEARN?????????????

I don’t think any VP is going to be able to help Obama.

The Democratic party will continue to suffer, decade after decade, until each state can pick its maximum number of pregnancy weeks for abortion rights. I believe the supreme court would honor a congressional law, signed by the president, allowing state lattitude in this way.

Debra-You first. Please provide us with policies of McCain, past voting record and legislation that has convinced you he is your candidate. You may not use the word Hillary in your argument.

Jennifer, I want a President who loves this country more than himself, who has a history of serving it (and 100 years of service from his family before him), and one I can TRUST to not associate with America haters, so I can put my head on my pillow and night knowing a Patriot is at the helm. COUNTRY FIRST!
McCain ’08/Hillary ’12

Debra.
You’re right….COUNTRY FIRST.
==============================

I know a certain “he” who showed interest in the VP spot back in April….Rev. Jeri Wright! What do ya think?

sherry,
McCain is on record against torture, which I disagree with. I say, if a nuke is about to hit New York it would be immoral to let millions of people die because you think torture is wrong.

Of course, Obama used the he pronoun because in both quotes about some one creating a fourth branch of government and running the energy policy, he was clearly referring to Cheney.

Debra-That explains a lot. I get my info. from non-partisan, numerous reputable sources and do a great deal of legislative research. You get your information from sitcom disguised as a news organization. Good luck to you.

Churchill,
Here is your answer:
Obama is for the redistribution of wealth via higher taxes because he thinks that is the “fair” thing to do, not because it will raise revenue.
Obama wants to spend a trillion dollars on government welfare programs that will force people to do what he tells them to do before they see a penny of the money Obama has confiscated from the private sector.
The wealth redistribution plan that takes money from the private sector will destroy the private sector economy and make one of the most economically rich nations in the history of the world into a third world Nation.
Obama is against drilling for our own oil here, against building new refineries, against nuclear power plants In Obama/s own words “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
Obama will weaken our military in very dangerous times, Obama: “First, I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president, I will end it.
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems…and I will institute an independent Defense Priorities Board to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal I will not develop new nuclear weapons…I will seek a global ban on the development of fissile material…and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off of hair-trigger alert…and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.”
Obama has no experience that would qualify him to be President
Obama’s long time friends and associates include crooks, unrepentant domestic terrorists and anti-Americans. In fact, I doubt Obama could pass a security review if he wanted to be a member of the FBI or other government agency.
The above is just a partial list of very real concerns with an Obama Pesidency. What is amazing to me is that anyone with any common sense would even think of voting for Obama.

Sherry,
The people in Guantanamo are not being “tortured”. What I would ask you, is if your child’s life was at sake and the only way to get the information necessary to save your child’s life was via the interrogation methods used at Gitmo, what would you do? I suppose in your case you would let your child die so you could feel morally superior.

Regarding, “In fact, I doubt Obama could pass a security review if he wanted to be a member of the FBI or other government agency,” we do not really know enough to make that conclusion. But we do know McCain is immoral because he wants to continue to torture people in Guantanamo. While McCain is out there defeating evil and starting wars, it might not always be best for our country in the long run. I think maybe we should go a different direction for a while, although I share the concern that Obama is a little weak on defense. The biggest concern is that he might overreact to something due to political concerns. But Obama is pretty smart, and I think in the end he will keep us safer than the “war is all I know” guy (McCain).

Mary,
I see your point about the theoretical you propose. I just disagree that it applies to what the Republican torture lovers actually did.

I am ready to vote for John McCain because Obama mentioned “he”. He is very obvious macho for seemingly not choosing a woman as a vp.

Kathy; you see what hypocrites they are willing to vote for man who polices are killing our young men and women in a unjust war.

Hey Jim:
Your choice for president finished near the bottom of his class. He wrecked many planes and got captured.Most of his military experience was spent as a POW. We salute his efforts but once he was in the Senate, he voted 99% Bush on policies when he was at the meetings, which was sparingly to say the least. He deserted his ailing wife and children without looking back. He was caught up in th Keating Five Scandal and got off with a slap on the wrist, even though he was guilty as sin. (Cindy’s money helped). And if you were to put McCain in school for next forty years, he would not gain the intellect and fortitude that Senator Obama has. Senator Obama is methodical thinker and make decisons based on the facts about a situation and McCain is a warmonger who says attack first and then find out what is really going on in any given situation later.McCain is a loser and a liar and has always felt that he had something to prove to his father and grandfather who were Admirals. In that vein, McCain cannot wait to get into Presidential seat so that he can start more wars, allow more American soldiers to be killed so that he can thumb his nose at his father and grandfather, as if to say I made it. I am the POTUS so I did better than you guys did. Even though they propped him up for years and quietly kicked doors open for him that people with his I.Q. would never been abe to get through. And at the same time, Cindy’s money and political contacts helped to boost him up the political ladder that would would have otherwise been out of his reach. He has no more experience in running this country than Senator Obama. He does have the experience in losing planes and finally getting shot down and being a POW. These are not the qualifications that make for a qualified President. Although Barack Obama has not personally been in the military, he is far more versed and knowlegable about the situations in foreign policy, the economy and health care etc. Senator Obama has leadership qualities and the intellect to help pull this country out of the mess that Bush and the likes of McCain has put this country in for the last 8 years. He also has the intelligence to consult with experts on situations and McCain does not listen to his advisers. I cannot believe that any sane adult who has had to live with yhe mess the Republicans put this country, could even entertain the thought of another 4-8 years of this madness. You think Bush trashed this country, just wait and see if McCain gets in, we will be in so many wars our country will look much like Iraq and the other was torn countries. So, say goodbye to everything you have taken for granted for so long, such as freedom, the America Dream and a healthy future and economy for our future generation.

The question is are you in much better shape than you were eight year ago.

He or She, I am still voting for McCain. McCain 2008!!!

If republicans chose Bush over McCain in 2000 because Bush was best of the two. Now the best candiddate of 2000 Mr Bush leaves us in this terrible state.
What should we expect from the second Best candidate of 2000. (logically, your expectations of MCCain should be lower than what you expected from Bush, which is more pity).
Thats pure Logic no reasoning.

McCain for 2016′ oh, wait the guy is a fossil.

Nick – don’t start whining about Hillary, it makes you look childish. The facts remain: The Primaries are over. Hillary Lost. Barack Won. And due to the sneaky, snide, off-handed remarks she and Bill have been making about Barack since Hillary lost the primaries, I wouldn’t want a Clinton in my administration either. It’s bad enough that the Clintons have weaseled their way into the convention like it’s “all about them.” Hillary will never get my vote if she ever attempts another run for the whitehouse. NEVER.
OBAMA 08/12

How anyone can talk about voting for McCain is beyond me. A man that leaves his wife and two kids for another woman is definitely not qualified to lead. How can anyone vote for someone that voted against a holiday for a man that gave his life trying to get basic civil rights for others. If McCain becomes president we are in for a longer four years than the eight we’re already in.

I think Hillary dumped Obama, not the other way around, because she wants to campaign in 2012. Kathleen Sebelius? I dunno. She might like her current job as is. That leaves the guys. In that case, I’m more interested in who McCain picks as a running mate, given that I don’t know very much about the three men on Obama’s alleged short list.

JD: There were at least 2 terrorist attacks on US soil during Clinton. The World Trade Center bombing by radical Muslims. Everyone involved was rounded up and put in jail. Then there was the Oklahoma City bombing by a Republican. McVeigh and Nichols were arrested, but there never was any good investigation into how high their connections went. I’m not saying Gingrich or Cheney were involved, but I never heard them deny it or speak out against the attacks.
Since 9/11, there have been a few attacks. Nothing like 9/11, but there was the anthrax attacks, attacks on the green zone, and Bush will tell us every time an Iraqi shot a gun it was a terrorist attack on the US. So, it’s hardly accurate to say there have been no terrorist attacks since 9/11

Anybody, but Hillary. Otherwise, she’ll see her entitlement to run the show and Bill Clinton by claiming experience will even attempt to get the chair back in the oval room. Enough with them or let grandpa McCane take over.

I’m not an Obama supporter, but I can readily admit that the Obama team has been very intelligent and has handled this race exceedingly well. It is with that thought in mind that I say that Biden is the logical choice for VP. He’s smart, he’s a straight-talker, he has foreign policy experience, and he can give Obama some credibility.
On the downside, he completely flies in the face of the items Obama’s been touting – he voted for the war and he is representative of a long political career. He also is clearly ego-centric, which Obama recently stated is something he’s not interested in.
I have to say that I was a Biden supporter before he dropped out of the primary, at which time I switched to Clinton’s side. Now I have no use for either of them, frankly. I’ve lost all respect for those who support a candidate for president who is completely unqualified and unable to lead our country. So to me, as a former Clinton supporter, it wouldn’t matter if he chose her or Biden or some shmuck he pulls off the street – I’m voting McCain.
