McCain & Obama Share Stage Briefly at Service Forum

Can Charles Gibson truly look the country in the eye and say I am not bias? As a registered Democrat I was truly disgusted with the interview with Governor Palin. After watching numerous interviews given by Gibson this was a true shocker. Gibsons intentional attempt to try and make Governor Palin look foolishly uniformed and less than able to handle international affairs was insulting. Gibsons own bias by ignorance does not let him see the facts. His attempt to make the Governor Palin look foolish and simply blind to the facts only turned against him, with the Governors strait forward very much informed able and ready answers to his questions during the interview/interrogation. Gibson was made the fool. Gibson was biased not subjective in his interview. ABC should truly look at this and ask themselves is this is a subjective member of our association? To refer to Senator Obamas recent comments ” You can put lipstick on a pig and it is still a pig” truly describes Charles Gibson

Obama is a bloviating wind bag who clearly heard all of Sen. McCain’s answers….McCain has always said serve a purpose higher than yourself and what does BO say AFTER McCain is off stage….same things on several counts.
CLEARLY NO CONE OF SILENCE FOR BOZO WHO WOULD NEVER DO 10 TOWN HALLS LIKE McCAIN REQUESTED MONTHS AGO.
Frickin loser Obama…you make me sick.

Another Obama supporter that does not know how determine an unbiased interview or convention coverage after the MSNBC BIAS. Why do you think MSNBC fired those drum banging anchors from the political coverage. They do not like being behind and now they are out. MSNBC proves they are a radical station with out control in their own back yard.
Do not like the people seeing the true Obama and trying to take the hi light off of him before the foot makes it to the mouth again. Obama can not even follow the rules of the forum. The rules no comparisons, Obama can not explain his stand without McCain’s stance. NO PROMPTER.

Why can’t Obama get rid of his stutter and stammer? I, I, I, I,….but, but, but, ug, ug, ug, agh, ahg….oh my God….he LOSES ME EVERYTIME.
GO McCAIN!!!!

Obama looked like a student during a speech contest.

Obama now wants me to pay for another kids college education ! I went to college and graduate school, Columbia University where Obama went, and worked and paid for my own tuition. I took out student loans and paid them back. Why now should I pay for another person’s tuition?

OMG! They’re back. I no sooner reported The Democratic National Committee had been consigned to the dustbin, than it reappeared that very evening at the 9-11 Forum On Public Service & Civic Engagement. Held at Columbia University, Richard Stengel, managing editor of TIME narrated the forum, staged by Service Nation (a new nationwide coalition). The DNC has now reemerged as The (International) Provisional People’s Collective Party, or PCP. Howard Dean is still the chairman. And, guess what the PCP has planned; you guessed it: Political Officers, Commissars. The title Commissar refers to either a People’s Commissar (government), or a Political Commissar (military). The good news, we’re going to get both. In the Soviet Union, the Institute of Political Commissars was established to control the military. The state security organizations, KGB, etc., and or People’s Commissars also controlled the Soviet Army, together with the entire Soviet State. The apparatus was so effective; we should have Commissars. But first we need an organ with which to train them. Welcome comrade, to Hillary’s National Public Service Academy: http://theseedsof9-11.com

McCain was blaming Iraq for 911 ON 911. And Biden was meeting and wiring money through Mahmoud Ahmed TO Mohammad Atta ont the day OF 911… If that doesn’t make you physically sick, and make you want to vote for ANYBODY but these two lying (insert word here) then I don’t know how you can sleep at night or even live with yourself. Biden and Bob Graham were giving taxpayer dollars to someone to give to a freaking hijacker who was trained at Maxwell AFB in Alabama. If you think that this is the type of person you want in power over you the God help you and God help us ALL!!!

It’s interesting to watch body language:
At the Ground Zero Memorial, McCain bent down and carefully placed a rose; Obama nonchalantly tossed his rose as if throwing away a cigarette butt.

I wonder if people are really listening to Obama and his community service requirement for every American who gets help from the government. I think that this is a vague description of slavery. This is very much like how indentured servants were expected to pay off their debts with “community service” to their debtors. I personally do not want any goverment officials telling me that I am responsible for john or jane doe who wants to further his or her education with my tax dollars while I give service to the world for asking for some help getting a great education. Wake up people, Obama has another agenda and will be a very dangerous person if elected president. Who of you want your sons and daughters forced to go to soup kitchens, AIDS victims homes, homeless shelters, Elderly homes and what ever else Obama thinks up. These are all worthy, wonderful ways of giving back to the community but when you are forced as I said you are really only a slave forced to do something you really do not want to do.

aNNETTE,, COME ON,, WHAT ARE YOU SMOKIN LOVE, SWEETIE? Obama has us poor folks interest at heart in everyway,, What ever agenda ur thinking up is bogust, 1st it’s going to take 2-3 years of his 1st term to get us out of debt and clean up BUsh’s MESS!!! Every country has us on there hit list!! Palin is into fish and bears and soccer, McCain’s into ??? trying to count his propertys ,,come on!!!
Go OBIDEN!!!
GO OBIDEN

We went to war because of lies.
The bush administration habitually has lied to the american public.
And now McCain/Palin is doing the same.
This party feels that if you repeat something often enough, people will think it is true!
And maybe the american people really are stupid enough to believe them.
Come on people, wake up!

Where was Michelle Obama. She was glaringly absent from the ceremony. Does she still hate America and blame America for the 911 attacks.
Did you see the new signs everywhere?
READ MY LIPSTICK
NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA

I tried to be Objective when I was watching this last night. When McCain talks I listen and his answers makes sense when Obama speaks I feel as though I don’t get real answers. Then he walks on stage like he is a rock star. McCain said Columbia shout reinstate the ROTC- No applause. Obama says it applause.
Then it dawned on me that Obama is a cult of personality:
Definition:
A cult of personality or personality cult arises when a country’s leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships but can be found in some democracies.
Generally, personality cults are most common in regimes with totalitarian systems of government, that seek to radically alter or transform society according to revolutionary new ideas. Often, a single leader becomes associated with this revolutionary transformation, and comes to be treated as a benevolent “guide” for the nation, without whom the transformation to a better future cannot occur. This has been generally the justification for personality cults that arose in totalitarian societies of the 20th century, such as those of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler.

Also, I honored 9/11 and the memories of all the people lost yesterday, too. I did it from my office and my home. So, by your rationale, I am UN-AMERICAN because I didn’t go to ground zero and place a flower there? I was not honoring the dead?
How about this:

Who’s wearing a FLAG PIN in this picture? NOT MCCAIN! OH NO!! HE MUST HATE AMERICA!!!
Sheesh.

Republicans have been in control for 8 years and this economy sucks and you all know it. McShame is not trying to make anything better in this nation. You all are in Denial and it eats yall alive that Barrack Obama is a brilliant man and he wants to see his girls and grandchildren have better futures. You all should should want the same as well! I know I do! Believe me, this Palin the Pitbull uproar will be over as soon as she is exposed for firing that man! Obama will have this election locked up and it scares yall! Ha Ha Ha ROTFL at yall! Oh and one more thing, Obama was a community organizer when he was 23 years old! What do you think that nasty(fill in the blank) was doing when she was 23 years old. Im almost positive she was not trying to do anything to help her community. She worked for a news station! Someone told her she spoke well and told her she should run for something. She really does speak well. I give her that, but her words are lies and garbage! “She doesn’t have just skeletons in the closet, she has cemeteries in her closet”. GOBAMA! Michelle, I mean the first lady, was with her girls on yesterday.

SamDavidBagley YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FRIGGIN’ KIDDING. Apparently you don’t remember the 2 hours of GOTCHAS that Obama and Clinton endured. You don’t remember the asinine questions about lapel pins and patriotism, rev. wright (months after the race speech) ayers -the stranger who works at the same university that Obama does. Please spare me your crocodile tear outrage. He played SOFTBALL in comparison. She’s lucky all he asked about was policy and things to do with how she would run the country as opposed to her preggers daughter in her holier than though abstinence only house. Or all of the under-aged drinking that her daughter obviously does based on the myspace page. those would’ve been some gotchas along the lines that the democratic party had to put up with. So give me a break. She better be tough an not whine. If she can’t handle Charlie she can’t handle Putin.

Right now Obama could not handle Putin. He would just have that s** t eating grin and nervous stuttering and say he had nothing to do with him and has no connection to him. But I have been an organizer and a jr. Senator. Don’t hurt me. Biden can handle this.

I am led to believe that some of the participants of this forum are racist else, there is no reason to belittle Obama and the way he speaks. Perhaps, these people should also open their ears and listen. Or maybe, they are just as war-crazy as Bush-McCain-Palin.

Asking the right question.
As one foolish military veteran I have advocated on-and-off for 30-yeears a particular model, originally a bill in the House: HR 1730/1979, HR 2230/1981 which would have replaced the Selective Service System with a National Service System.
It’s key service-learning approach was to maintain voluntary service, but change the registration requirement to age 17, for both females and males, encourage dialogue in families, friends, and if in school, in school.
At 18 require feedback in the form of yes, no, or maybe to age 23, providing a cost-effective way of bring this debate to each new generation, and starting youth exploration of voluntary service be it community or military, and what degree and form of part-time or full-time service they are willing to sign up for.
This catalyst would provide a year-after-year framework at a cost in the low millions, but will take the public will of Congress, and the next President to make it happen.
Like so many of my efforts, Richard and Judy, choose in the Presidential Candidate Forum not to use my question for the candidates, like everybody during the last 30 years they have left me to “do it yourself”.
Service-Learning, Youth Service, Adult Volunteerism, and Retired Adult Volunteerism is all part of the mix, along with non-profits, (over 1 million), churches, local, state, and federal programs are part of the mix.
Technology is also a key element of the mix, be it communication and organizing, the cell phone and Internet will provide tremendous leverage in efficiency, and accountability, and one can dream about efforts related to increasing energy efficiency, education, macro-economic impact, and from gangs to terrorist, local, national, and international security and social development.
