Nancy Reagan ‘Very Impressed’ by Obama, Ron jr Says

Wow…wasnt expecting that one. Obama is having one heck of a great week considering this is supposed to be Mccain’s week!

Sarah has EXECTUTIVE experience *running a government* (something NONE of the other candidates can actually boast, even John McCain as Governor of Alaska and got there by defeating the *incumbent* Republican Governor, who was definitely part of the “old school” and who WAS very much in the pocket of the big oil companies. We in Alaska wanted change – and we got it in the person of Sarah Palin!
Sarah Palin is everything she looks to be and more. Her approval rating as Governor of Alaska has been as high as 95% and is currently leveled out consistently in the upper 80 percentile throughout the state (and in both parties) – the HIGHEST approval rating of ANY sitting Governor.

At Nancy Reagan is wise and smart. She is not fooled by the hype of the Republicans. You see Nancy knows the true from the fake.

Thank you, Ron and Nancy, for being so honest while too many other Republicans are either in denial or too afraid to speak the truth unless caught accidentally by microphones.
McCain/Palin is finished. Over.
And to think they haven’t even accepted their nomination yet!
All aboard the McSame and Failin’…
TITANIC 08!!!

We need to get over worshipping former leaders and beatifying them. Instead of looking backwards, it’s time to move forward.
To me, the best part of Obama’s speech was the part where he said that it’s time we find what we agree on rather than focusing on what we disagree on. I believe that in spite of the partisan nonsense going on right now, McCain thinks the same way. That’s enough hope for me.

The Governor Palin pick would be more “effective” if she was a Governor in her second term or the end of her first term and from a state with a “larger” population. It would support his campaign of “experience” that he ran on all year long. He is changing his slogans every other month. I forget what his original slogan was but he immediately changed it the night Senator Obama received the delegate count to be the presumptive nominee, “A Leader You Can Believe In”, which was not original. The McCain camp borrowed Senator Obama’s campaign slogan which he HAS NEVER changed. Now it is “country first”, a ploy to convince the easily swayed and scared to question his democrat opponent’s patriotism. We forget 911 happen on a republican President’s watch.
Governor Palin was selected to do just this, attract attention to John McCain’s woeful campaign. He did not count on it attracting NEGATIVE attention. And of course, the second reason was to garner women’s votes, but this woman, Governor Palin, doesn’t support anything a woman would.

WHO CARES…..NANCY REAGAN HAS ENDORSED McCAIN/PALIN!
ME TOO AND MILLIONS OF US. Women voters are 54% of the population and many were sickened by what they did to Hillary…so glad we just learned a lesson and so quickly have a chance to jump on it. Palin more qualified than the “suit” on the top of their ticket!
What a joke.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN

Someone above said “Sarah Palin is all she appears to be and more” Yes, couldn’t agree more….. she appears to be TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED, and worse.
HA HA HA IN YOUR FACE GOP, even Nancy sees OBAMA is a quality candidate.
GO Mr O… 2008 and 2012

just like ike,s grand daughter.. do you new wave republicans knwo why the old school republicans are for obama? because teh modern republican party is worse then they thought the old democrat party was.

Word of wisdom from the highly respected Mrs. Reagan.God will protect you we need you around to help the world,not just only USA. OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

@Debra
Seriously? SERIOUSLY?? Are you that unconcerned about your daughter’s welfare that you would vote for this “woman” who’s against reproductive health/birth control education, who has line-item-vetoed funding for shelter/food/education for unwed teenage mothers (even having one herself, suddenly), for governmental corruption, cronyism, and abuse of power comparable and possibly exceeding that of the Bush administration? You were never a Hillary voter, and you’re being disingenuous by trying to fake it here.

FACE IT MORONS, REPUGS WILL LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, WHINE, BOTCH, LIE CHEAT, PANDER, LIE, PANDER TO JUST KEEP UP IN THE POLLS..
YOU CAN’T WIN AGAINST THE OBAMA MACHINE..
YOU REPUGS ARE SO OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY IS LOOKS FOOLISH OF YOU TO EVEN TRY..
LMAO!!
SILLY REPUGS!!
REPUBLICANS MIRROR COMMUNIST!!

She knows that Obama is a real leader and that McSame is just the same old rhetoric.

This lady is a separatist. It’s treason to put a separatist on your ticket. What was he thinking? Mcsame starts to sound senile.

Respect for our First Lady…and to know she sees something deeper and richer in this journey with Obama…something most deny, and the majority that never lie! We will see what comes of this…For Ms. Nancy and her son are present through all of this…Apachecheynne

Debra: I don’t believe a word that comes out of Ron Regan’s mouth. Mrs. Regan is a staunch republican and would never back up a democrat. Its Ron himself that likes Obama but is putting it on his mom. Let’s face it Ron is a democrat not a republican. Ron and his father were not on speaking terms for years and his sister that passed was not on speaking terms with her father either. The fact is President Reagan would not allow his children to run him and they made comments about their father. Don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth. There is a lot of jealousy from democrats towards Palin and I think they fear she can make McCain win the election and also because she is the VP on his ticket that Hillary not got. Obama’s supporters should think about that and wake up to the fact that there will be thousand’s of women voting for McCain that voted for Hillary no matter what the media says. And don’t believe the polls. The media wants people to believe that Obama is winning McCain when McCain is winning Obama.

Titus: Don’t be angry because McCain picked a women for VP that has more experience and knowledge that Obama ever will have and what is he doing running for president at age 47? We all know he is a know nothing, do nothing and says nohing. He picked Biden to do the talking for him because he lacks the know how. Do you know what college did for him? He learned how to be a drugger, boozer for a long time. That’s the highly educated Obama.

con me not: Obama is a real leader alright. No doubt he was a leader of all the drug and boozers in college for a long time. And I also think that some of the people making comments about McCain and Palin are also take drugs to keep them alert as stated on the internet. I am willing to bet that many of the young women today will never accomplish what Palin did in her young life and the young men of today will probably not accomplish what McCain did in his young day. You have to work to make your goals in life and that’s what they did.

I have always respected Nancy Reagan! Wow! What a de facto endorsement! She, like anyone in America who truly loves this country, is scared to death of what Karl Rove and George Bush have created, and she knows that John McCain will do the same.
John is a decorated war hero who did not cave into his captors; but, he is now a coward who caved in because of pressure from the religious right!

I have a strong feeling that the people complaining on this board about how ‘Hillary was mistreated’ by Obama are paid republican political operatives trying their standard swift-boat tactics spreading lies to divide the opposition and generate momentum for their pathetic ticket. McCain didn’t even have the courage to stand up to the religious right in his own party, and this preposterous fake ‘hockey mom’ who believes her daughter’s pregnancy is a private family matter (except for campaign photo ops) but that everyone else’s pregnancies should be a matter for government legislation. Totally disgusting GOP behavior – they richly deserve the butt kicking that’s coming their way.

I think the only people not impressed with Obama are the ones that can’t get those republican talking points out of their heads.

Sorry ABC. Your Obama endorsement gambit — with the ne’er-do-well Reagan son Ron putting words in the former First Lady’s mouth — is not very convincing.
Of course, I’m not surprised that the would-be dancer, who has never hidden his liberal bias, and the ABC TV network have been taken in by all the hype surrounding the Illinois Senator. Indeed, even a casual look into the Obama “story” reminds one of the lack of substance regarding the candidate, which is not unlike the superficiality and lack of substance associated with so many Hollywood movies and television programs.

Ron Reagan is an Idiot his father would of had alot to say about Obama and it would not have I also dont believe Mrs Reagan said thats she is impressed with the great one untill it comes out of her own mouth.

http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-does-sarah-palins-selection-tell.html

Nancy Reagan was one of the coldest first Ladies ever. She did not relate well to middle America so we really do not care what she thinks. She did very little for America and she did nothing overseas- unlike Cindy McCain who travels the world, helps children get medical care, adoptions and donates heavily to charity. Nancy Reagan cannot even come close to Cindy McCain or Sarah Palin either. As for the Obamas -yeah the speeches are mesmerizing but after the koolaid wears off you start to wonder why Obama is so VAGUE and why he tap dances around every question. When does life begin ?? Obamas half-#$@# answer “thats above my pay grade !!!!! ” What a fake he is ….NO Bama !!! As for Ronnie jr he should go back to being a ballet dancer – he is no journalist !!!

RE: con me not: Obama is a real leader alright. No doubt he was a leader of all the drug and boozers in college for a long time. And I also think that some of the people making comments about McCain and Palin are also take drugs to keep them alert as stated on the internet.

You have to work to make your goals in life and that’s what they did.
Yet Im guessing you voted for Coke Head Bush with no qualms right??? Everyone has a past and it should be left in the past. Even Bushs drunk driving coke snorting college days

Oh Nancy – old Ronnie is rolling over in his grave to hear you talk about Obama

I can live with that, “Sarah Palin is in no way qualified to be vice president or certainly president” as long as you can live with “Barack Obam is in no way qualified to be president”. A double Standard – Not qualified for vice president means you can’t take over for president, but if elected, Barak Obama would be president and you wouldn’t have to wait for anyone to die to have an UNQUALIFIED person running our country.

ooooh the hypocrisy…

Bob:
No he’s not……You don’t know what Ronald Reagan would have thought about senator Obama…..Have you heard him say anything about him?
Stop talking about folks in their grave rolling over…..You don’t know….
Reagans for Obama!!!!

Some female Hillary supporters are going to blindly vote for Palin even though Palin is anti-choice even in cases of rape and incest? Even though Palin believes in abstinence-only education? Palin would undo what feminism has accomplished throughout the years. She would bring women so many steps back, and will hurt the general impression that the world will make of women in this country because she has no official stance on foreign policy issues -she got her first passport last year for god sakes! There are many highly qualified women that McCain could have chosen. As a woman, I will wait to vote for a woman who I and the rest of the world can respect.

Yeh, I am impressed too…impressed that an empty suit with associates that are thugs and terrorists has hoodwinked millions into thinking he is the chosen one. Very impressed but not enough to vote for him. BO Stinks.

Ron,
You are liberal as they get. Let your mother speak for herself. I am sure she says nice things about you too. As for your opinion about Palin’s ability to lead, opinions usually come from personnel experinces of which you have none for leadership, you father did but as you know the children are not always like the parent. Ohyeah, my opinion abut comes from my experience of interacting with people like you who think they know more than they do.

Palin has experience running a local governement as mayor and left them with a deficit. She hasn’t been a governor long enough to see if the state will be left with the same deficit. I hope if she goes to the white house, she and McCain wont contribute more to the deficit we already have.

BabsNJ:
your words will defile you if you keep that junk up….

BabsNJ, Well said but you forgot the racist Rev. Wright!

“NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN”
Are you kidding. Experience/no experience. Enough is simply enough!!! The Republicans will not tell the truth to the American people even if it means winning an election. It was deplorable to hear Mrs. Pailin stand before millions and vehemently undermine Barak’s service to his country and the not so priveleged over the past twenty years. Good thing we are all not fools and we will demonstrate that on Nov. 4th.

GoUSA247: Palin has “executive experience running a government?” Let’s start with her first stint as a mayor. During Palin’s 6 years as mayor of a city (with at the time a population of around 5,000) she increased government expenditures in Wasillia over 33% and increased taxes by 38%. Palin inherited a city with ZERO debt and left it with over $22 MILLION in debt. For what? Campaign promised infrastructure improvement? No. A new sewage treatment plant? No. She spent $15M on a multi-use sports complex that’s still in litigation 7 years later. More money was spent on extensively remodeling City Hall and Palin’s office redecorated more than once. Sorry, I’ve had enough Republican promises of “tax cuts” for the wealthy while creating the largest debt in our country’s history.

okay, Nancy Reagan is actually 86 but you get the point…

Nancy Reagan has shown so much class the past few years. I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t fond of her when she was first lady but I have come to respect her with how well she took care of her husband to how she presents herself now. If only more people in this country could have views like hers, where she supports McCain but does see the good in Obama and doesn’t see him as the anti-Christ, we could start getting past all this sad partisan bickering. And, it’s true on both sides. It makes me sad that there’s so much hate in America against the opposing side that you see just reading the message boards. If we could all just remember that both McCain and Obama want to do what they feel is best for the country and vote on whose issues you agree with and stop all this extreme attacking, we could start getting past the partisanship and start building one America. Kum ba ya and all that.

There’s something about that woman, Palin, that I just cannot — yet — put my finger on and I just pray it comes out before it’s too late. Because not only do I believe she’s not good for the country, I beileve she’s not good.

My husband thinks she is a looker and a pretty smart woman but he’ll still vote for Obama. McCain/Palin don’t have the depth as Obama/Biden.

In my opinion, Paulin’s speech reminded me of someone who likes to…Talk LOUD, however their rhetoric equates to “0” – NOTHING! This election boils down to the following:
1.What set of candidates/party has identified the issues that have dramatically impacted the middles class of this country? We must identify the problems before we can solve them.
2.What set of candidates/party have come up with an acceptable plan that at least attempts to move the country in the direction of solving our problems?
3.What party attempts to unite us as a country? We certainly have enough terrorist and enemies that are out to destroy the U.S.?(IF WE DON’T DESTROY OURSELVES FIRST.)
THIS ELECTION IS NOT ABOUT GAY RIGHTS OR ABORTION, BLACK OR WHITE, MALE OR FEMALE. FOR MANY OF US, THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT SURVIVAL.

So what? She likes big speeches. And people who look good in a suit.

First of all … I haven’t seen Nancy Reagan posting … only her son saying how she feels? Anyone can say you said something, but that doesn’t make it true. Second of all, women already have a choice as to wheher or not they will have a baby without having to take the life of the baby once it is conceived. Unless rape or illness is involved … shame on you. You know and I know how to avoid it. And so do our kids, so don’t give me that either. Also, do you want to change the very foundation of this country … our Bill of rights our Constitution? You better think long and hard. Once it’s done we can never go back. Are you sure we’re really better off in this country now without prayer … without respect … with crime like it is … with gangs … our kids out of control? Think about the values of this great nation. Where are we headed as a country?

S Adams says as Mayor for the small town of Wasilla, Palin “brought in new construction for new business and commerce. Where would she get the funds for this without having a deficit?” Sorry buddy. She learned how to become the Pork Queen and still managed to sink the town in debt 22 million in debt. According to a review of congressional spending by non-partisan Taxpayers for Common Sense, Wasilla received a $1 million earmark, tucked into a transportation appropriations bill. Isn’t this the same style “Pork” spending Senator McCain opposes?

What does Palin and Kermit the Frog’s middle finger have in common? They both smell like pork.

POOR NANCY. SHE IS GETTING UP THERE IN YEARS. I HOPE THIS ISN’T SENILITY SETTING IN.

People on both sides are reading way too much into a simple compliment. Nancy Reagan may be impressed with Obama, but she’s already stated her support for John McCain. As far as I’m concerned, this is NOT major news.
As for Sarah Palin….that speech sounded like it was written by a disgruntled 16 year old angry at her parents. She spoke absolutely ZERO about ANY issues, certainly not giving any plans. All she did was make sarcastic half-jokes designed to make her fellow conservatives giggle and sneer. She did NOTHING to appeal to moderates or independent voters, and to top it all off, you could tell this was her first time in front of such a big crowd. I can’t WAIT until Biden tears her apart in their debate. This election is already over. . .

When even Nancy Reagan and Ronald Reagan Jr don’t support you as a republican what is that saying?

Nancy has endorsed McCain. We get it. Why keep repeating it? Ron Jr. didn’t say she wasn’t endorsing McCain and is endorsing Obama. Ron Jr said, “She thinks this is a good guy, a guy who means well and is a strong character.”
Why don’t Republicans give Nancy some credit for not being a partisan sheep?

Anyone who votes for Obama is not a Christian, because he represents the Devil,
an example voting no on banning partial birth abortion,
Remember this is a live baby,
The baby’s leg is pulled out into the birth canal
The abortionist delivers the bby’s entire body, except for the head.
The abortionist jams scissors into the baby’s skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
God help him, and God help you if you vote for him.
Christians dont’t kill,
It is a commandment,
so do you believe, it is in the Bible , or do you believe in the Bible/God??
Don’t answer me, answer to your conscience.

At this point, it’s not about Republicans and Democrats. It’s about who’s the best man for the job, and obviously Obama is.
