Obama Attacks McCain as an Economic Risk

Look at the pathetic lies of the McCain campaign.
First the campaign realizes its tone deafness.
Then they try and turn this into an attack on Obama.
Then they are caught lying…AGAIN.
Has there been a more dishonest campaign than McCain’s run in 2008? This rivals Bush in 2000 or 2004.

And where’s the story about Obama asking the Iraqis to not have a timetable for a drawn down until AFTER the election.
He’s scummy.

I’m disappointed in Obama. I was hoping for a new kind of politics – an honest and positive opne – but all I see are lies, exaggerations, and negativity.
What happened to Barack the optimist? The uniter? Too bad, I would have voted for that guy….but not this guy.

How can Obama give 95% of Americans a tax cut when 40% don’t even pay taxes?
He’s going to punish small businesses and kill their jobs.
The 40% who don’t pay taxes are getting handouts.

McCain is seriously confused and does not understand anything about national security or economy. He is so confused that he cannot lead this country. The foundation of McCain’s economy are strong because WBush tax cuts will continue for him and his wife so they could buy more houses. McCain is really an economic risk as well as a national security risk because he seriously lacks judgment. With one of his foot in the grave McCain has chosen the least qualified running mate. God save America from McSame.

Biden isn’t worried about economics.
He thinks we should vote for Obama because he is black. He told voters in NC that it would be transformative to elect BO because he is black.
Sorry Biden…you may have increased BO’s AA support up to 98% but the white guilt thing isn’t working on me.

I also believe the fundamentals of our economy are strong…no way are we as bad as the great depression (as Obama says) I mean really just look, O says he raised 66 mil last month, that money wouldn’t be there if we were in a depression. The economy needs some work but, this isn’t 1929.

This new york post article about Obama and troop withdrawal is quite disturbing:
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
“He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.
Foxnews has reported this. Obama canp denied this. can any one interview the minister to verify. If this is true, Obama is finished.

Please resurrect a little bit of respect for the MSM in the eyes of the American people and report upon Obama requesting that troop withdrawals from Iraq be stalled until after the November election.
This is important information regarding one of the presidential candidates that the American people deserve to know.
I cannot believe all of the “uncovered” stories that the media has been reporting over the last two weeks regarding Governor Palin, but appears to be setting aside this story.
Just because the Obama campaign denies its truthfulness does not make it so.

The fundamentals of our economy had better be strong or America will be in deep doo-doo! It is very unpatriotic and defeatist of BHO to think that the US is not the greatest Country and economy in the world, so when you walk into that voting booth in 50 days, ask yourself whether you want a President who thinks so poorly of the American spirit and ingenuity and who seem to want to wish that it were so. McCain will be the best Commander-In-Chief and he will be the best champion of the greatness and resilience of America.

Obama has done more for the troops than McSame would ever think about doing.
As a veteran, I am giving my vote to Obama. I would trust him as my Commander in Chief!
You guys are still trying to create more lies and innuendo…just as dishonorable as John McCain.
John McCain is no patriot, he’s a dishonorable liar.

NYT reported Palin’s per diem request. ABC reported and the retracted the AIP story. How about Obama’s Iraq troop withdrawal story?

McCain repeatedly put the blame on “some on Wall Street.” If only that were the case, then the problem would be more more easily solvable. When he mentioned regulation, he talked about an alphabet soup of the regulatory going back to the thirties. Unfortunately, safeguards from the past have been disbanded thanks to the effort of Gramm. It wasn’t about regulators being asleep at the wheel, as he put it, but the fault of enacting deregulation. As Obama said, the philosophy of John McCain, the leave business and its greed alone, is a major contributor. In case you noticed scant applause in the video -according to the Washington Post, today McCain was greeted by throngs of empty seats.

When Chris Como on GMA asked about his ad telling Mccain can not send e mail, he answered:
” Hold on,,hold on Chris,,I did not say it.”
Chris again said about the computer thing and Obama turned the subject that McCain did not care about economy.
Obama acts like a spoiled kid.

it has been deemed false

Obama – A handout for every victim courtesy of those who saved a bit.
What a guy!

You knuckleheads have been repeating the same stupid mantra since February…
“if (insert your disingenuous story here) and its true, Obama is finished”
Some of you even went out of your way to twist and distort sentences and statements from the very books Obama wrote, only to follow it up with “if this is true, Obama is finished”
Try winning on issues, not on lies and innuendo. Run an honest campaign, as the American people could use a large dose of honesty right about now.

The savings and loans debacle, the sub-prime loan mess, and the current collapse of brokerage firms have their root in one thing – the attempt to mask investment risk. By allowing investment companies to mask the riskiness of their investments either by repackaging bad loans or relying on the backing of the government have only replaced short term risks and smaller downturns with big ones that come less frequently. It is time to remove the abstraction and let the riskiness of investments become naked for all to see without any significant assurance of the government bailing them out. Let each bad loan and investment fail and hurt those who made them directly. Forget all this layer of bureaucracy that tries to hide or push back the bad news. If you are looking for the ones to blame for setting us up for failure, just look at congress including Obama, Biden and McCain.

This man only says what he is TOLD to say. He’s like a puppet.
The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit.
No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no
understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the
world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of
real substance.
Change for America? What change? What the heck is wrong with the people in this country that they would even think about voting for this guy .Are we ostriches with our heads in the sand?
“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under” – Ronald Reagan

Obama is playing it right out of the socialist handbook: Accuse your rival of being exactly the threat you yourself are.

LA:
He never practiced law … and he has no background in financial matters. Please. The economony is in a certain amount of problems but you don’t need to insult our intelligence …

Obama – attack, criticize, castigate, sling mud, a little guilt by association here and there — anything by issues.
What a windbag! What a truly creepy person!

PS..
And why we’re on the issue of “Socialism”… guess what the country tends to vote in hard times? Yep. Dem. I mean the party about helping each other not the party that helps only itself.

“Of the 354 lawmakers who received money from Freddie and Fannie between 1989 and 2008, Sen. Chris Dodd received the most”
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have their largest offices in Connecticutt.
Guess where Chris Dodd has been a Senator for 25+ years?
According to opensecrets donor look up, Obama has received $19K+ from Freddie Mac since 2004. McCain has received $9K+. Obama has received $90K from Fannie Mae since 2004. McCain has received about $6K.
Instahack won’t tell you things like that because he rather leave the impression that Obama was rolling in FreddieMac, Fannie Mae dough when the truth is that its a small percentage or a percentage point of his total fundraising haul.
The reason right wingers like InstaHack do this is because they want you to forget that McCain is relying upon RNC money while Obama relies on donors sending less than $200.

How many of you actually BELIEVE that the president has any impact on the economy? If you raise your hand, you have no idea what you are doing.
The real issue here is regulation and guess whose job that was ???? DING DING DING …. if you said the CONGRESS then you were RIGHT!
And who could have made the regulations have teeth? DING DING DING … the Banking regulation committee … Senator Chris Dodd … who supports hmmmmmm Senator 0bama. So. Guess who doesn’t want to be investigated? DING DING DING …. you are so smart! You are three for three. All you have to do is look at who is backing 0bama … lawyers, lawyers, lawyers, financial houses and BANKS. Gee.

“So many lies thrown out there. They think a few will gell. You have to check everything to find out how true it is.”
Projection is the word you are looking for.

NY Post today:
OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS’ IRAQ WITHDRAWAL

Obama cited Ayers job
as qualification to run
Interview during 2000 congressional race contrasts
with effort to separate self from domestic terrorist
–WND

Beckie, when is it unpatriotic to admit there is a problem occuring? Oh wait…I remember…that happened when Bush took office. I can all but see him covering his eyes saying “the economy is fine, everything in Iraq is fine, everything in Afghanistan is fine…” It takes a real leader to be able to stand up and say “We have some serious problems and we are losing our place as the country all others look up to.” McCain is following the “if I say everything is ok, then it must be” approach. The first step in any recovery program is admit you have a problem.

beebop…
dont burst everyones bubble in here!!! the canidates, especially obama and the democrats, WANT you to believe its the presidents fault if the economy is bad. its not!!!! i mean, im not saying he dosent have arole in it or influencing dcisions on the economy, but its more congress than anything. a democrat controlled congress with THE LOWEST APPROVAL RATING IN HISTORY. but im just sayin’…..

Gee Riley, why would the Prime Minister lie?…Let’s see, because if Obama is elected Iraq’s free ride on our tax dollars will suddenly go away. Yeah, I would say whatever I needed to say to prevent the person who was going to be timeline and goals on me and make me use some of my surplus money to pay for someone else to clean up my country. Iraq is running a surplus, US us running a deficit paying for the war in Iraq. Why lie?

OBAMA REALY DOESN’T HOLD WOMEN IN HIGH REGARD.
In addition to trashing Hillary and Sarah.
Obama has never gone out of his way to relate to women. Only seven of his top twenty Senate staff positions are filled by women (McCain has thirteen of twenty) and women on Obama’s staff earn 83 cents for each dollar his male staffers are paid. (McCain pays his female staffers $1.04 for each dollar he pays to his men).

mack…
iraq didnt have a choice if we invaded them or not. what are we supposed to do?! steal their money and oil?!

Everyone keep screaming disaster then we will have one. Depression, unemployment was 30%, now 6%….for the 2 or 3 percent who are not making their mortgage payments, we are all going to be punished. Why were lenders giving money to greedy Americans who were going over their heads. I’m ticked off that I have to bail anyone out when my husband and I have never been in debt or bit off more than we can chew. Clearly Americans have more money than they know what to do with….look at Obama and McCain donations this past month…crazy (and don’t tell me these are all from the little doners).
CANNOT raise taxes in this economy or give socialist handouts per Obama…less government is what we need.
Unless you all want to give my college age daughter $2,000 and all the rest of the college kids….sure let’s all pay for that.
BI PARTISAN McCAIN ALL THE WAY…..HE WILL HAVE REPUBLICANS AND DEMS IN HIS CABINET, WEALTHIEST TO TAKE $1 A YEAR…DOESN’T CARE WHO GETS CREDIT FOR SOLUTIONS…..NOT LIKE EGO FIRST OBAMA…interfering in Iraq about when our troops should come home.

LA in Indiana
Again, he was NOT a professor. He wasn’t even able to become tenured. He did teach a class but not even as an associate professor.

hmmm obama was a law professor?! i must have missed that one… lol

Depraved maniac …. at least McCain/Palin GOT a bounce from their campaign … don’t you sound a little bitter?

“The only difference is that the right-wing response to a failing Obama/Biden in the White House would be … really bad — whereas McCain/Palin can hold off the more poisonous elements of the right.”
****************************************
Good God! You believe this dribble?

“How many of you actually BELIEVE that the president has any impact on the economy?”
The President’s economic policy from taxation to budget priorities has a direct impact on the economy.
“If you raise your hand, you have no idea what you are doing.”
“The real issue here is regulation and guess whose job that was ???? DING DING DING …. if you said the CONGRESS then you were RIGHT!”
Yes and unfortunately the Republican controlled Congress beginning in 1994 thru 2006 removed many regulations and weakened the authorities of regulatory bodies. Bush then added to this by stacking these important oversight agencies with political cronies.

A community organizer.
… I’m still laughing!

Enough already why can’t the American people wake up and stop this “destroy the candidate” mentality. Why do we focus our money and efforts on the negative? Why can’t we focus on the good deeds and accomplishments of the candidates and how they can benefit our country.
Senator’s Obama and Biden, Gov Palin and thousands of other city, state and Washington politicians ask for “ear marks” to provide better lives for their voters. Ok, so let’s get on with the future. The point in this election is who is prepared to stop the frivolous wasteful spending in Washington.
John McCain has vowed to put a stop to “ear marks’’ and wasteful spending. He has vowed to reorganize business as usual in Washington. He has vowed to form a government Cabinet of the best and brightest people regardless of political party. Senator McCain did not wait to get into the White House to start his promises he moved now by selecting Gov Sarah Palin as his VP choice.
Gov Palin is a rare political individual with “grass roots” experience that this country has not seen for twenty years. She started as a councilwoman then small town Mayor. As mayor she built city infrastructure. She listened to the people of her town. They wanted a Sports Arena. Before the city moved forward Mayor Palin presented the analysis it would require a Bond issue and sales tax increase to pay for the infrastructure and to pay off the debt. The voters made the decision to move their city forward with a plan in place to make their lives better and more prosperous.
Gov Palin has cut wasteful government spending. Who cares how she sold the “jet” the point is she eliminated the frivolous expenditure. She reduced the Governor’s travel expenses from $400 thousand to $90 thousand a year. She cut the frivolous executive house expenses. She is thinking outside the box, she actually kept her promises to the voters of Alaska. To continue her promises she worked with Big Oil Executives to give back to the citizens of the state they operate in. The citizens of Alaska are receiving the monetary rebates Gov Palin promised.
Senator John McCain scares some of his own party because they say he is a maverick and doesn’t follow status quo with his party line. Gov Palin has changed the status quo of the Big Oil Companies and government spending. Well fellow citizens I’m ready for a pair of maverick’s who get things done.
I’m tired of the frivolous bickering I want action and I want it to start in January 2009. ALL American’s have the privilege to think free and entitled to our personal beliefs. So let’s get on track. Let’s send a team to the White House who believe in shaking things up working for the betterment of the citizens they serve and have a record of getting things done.
We had a maverick president twenty years ago named Ronald Reagan and he shook things up pretty good and the citizens of this country prospered. Fellow voters we have an opportunity to get our country back on track now with a McCain and Palin team in the White House who have proven reform and result’s experience. We can’t wait four more years to make a difference we have to get started now.

Tim,
If McCain wasn’t 72 (his father passed at 70, and longevity is hereditary through gender),, then we could just focus on the top of the ticket. But the odds are good that the person in the VP slot will be filling in within the next 4 years if McCain is elected.

riley: You can call Obama ‘risky’ but mccain is guaranteed to destroy America. Never have we had so much debt, such a weak military, such weak influence over seas, such a horrible economy. Obama was right on every foreign policy issue, mccain wrong. WE CANT TRUST McCAIN, who lies every minute.

Obama is quick to blame Republicans since Democrats took both Houses of Congress
Today, CNN and all networks reported the worst day since 9/11 in Wall Street has occurred. Although Senator Barack Obama blames Senator John McCain, his VP, Senator Biden has been in Congress much longer and has yet to make a difference in the same manner as his fellow Democrats. What Senator Obama and his fellow Democrats fail to say is for six years our economy was holding on until the Democratic Party took both houses just over two years ago. It was the Democratic Congress that bailed out the housing industry. Since both houses of Congress have been under Democratic leadership our economy has declined to record levels. Since then, the Congress had to bailout the housing industry and today, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch filed for bankruptcy protection (All Networks, 15 Sep 08). CNN reported that Obama supported bipartisan bills 13% of the time while McCain voted 83% of the time for bipartisan bills (CNN, 15 Sep 08). In other words, McCain voted 83% of the time for bills that were important to America and Obama voted 13% for the same type of bills.
I’d rather have Senator McCain in the White House since his record reflects that he committed to issues 90% of the time. At the same time, Senator Obama has not committed to any issue, 95% of the time (Congressional Records, Sep 08). America cannot depend on a politician that will not take sides to address hard issues important to our nation economy and defense of our country. In the meantime, Senator Obama makes fun about his competitors while claiming that he is not running negative ads, which is not the truth. At the same time, Obama is using campaign dollars to pay for 30 individuals to search for any sleazy information that he can use against Governor Sarah Palin. Senator’s Biden and Obama both voted the bridge that Governor Palin voted against and both of these Senators are attacking her for that makes no sense. However, what is appalling is that Obama’s view is that anything his campaign says or does in not his responsibility. Since Obama has never made any change as a politician and knows that his record lacks merit and cannot win unless he uses sleazy tactics that have become an Obama standard. Obama has to be the first politician to use his campaign to say anything they want without the oversight of the person that these individuals work for, Senator BARACK OBAMA. America, wake up!

mack…
ahhh, i guess all i can say to that is at least the republicans “inexperienced” canidate is at the bottom of the ticket.

Dottie,
So, the reduction of earmark waste by Palin that was after the bridge to nowhere got exposed after the Minnesota bridge collapse? Is that why they asked for millions to study seal genetics and crab mating this year?
That maverick that shook things up in the 80′s? Wasn’t that when the last savings and loan fall occurred after deregulations? Woohoo, bring on the mavericks.

there were caveats to what McCain said today and Obama only glomed on to his one line and not the rest of his speech which I guess they didn’t want to hear.

John McCain is a hypocrite to be talking today about needed government regulation for the financial industury.
McCain voted for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999
Phill Gramm, McCain’s “genius” financial adviser campaign, co-authored the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that Gramm had pushed for years with massive financial industry lobbying, destroyed the Depression-era barrier to the merger of stockbrokers, banks and insurance companies.
Gramm was the Chairman of the Banking Committee, he pushed through the “Enron Loophole,” which allowed investment banks to bypass Federal regulations governing futures trading.
The above actions set the stage for America’s current subprime-credit meltdown.

obama never was, and never was referred to as a law professor. plain and simple. not that it matters.. lol

so you believe the rest of the free world was lying then too? becase they had the same intelligence as bush had. and they all agreed as well. or was this another right wing conspiracy?!

obama never was, and never was referred to as a law professor. plain and simple. not that it matters.. lol

Obama taught Constitutional Law.

i said he was never a law professor. anyone care to prove me wrong?

Okay, great, but Obama still refuses to even highlight which regulation was a problem, and what would help now. And no, giving $1000 or more to individual taxpayers will not stabilize the markets.
Apparently, no one knows what to do about the economy (including McCain)…
My sense is that there are some things, such as too-clever-by-half investment plans and mortgage contracts, (I don’t pretend to know a lot about how this all came about…) that are likely very difficult to regulate in a free market economy until after the fact.

ABC = Barry and Biden all the time. Must protect investment.

Mccaine- the change candidate? Haha. Yes he had changed his position to most of the issues. Don’t trust him at all.
Palin a Wacko? That is a kind word. She keeps talking about Ebay and bridge to no where. She thinks people don’t know the real story. She has convinced her self with her own lies and can’t tell the difference now. She is more than a Wacko.

It takes a certain amount of chutzpah to blame Democrats for deregulation of the banking sector while at the same time claim the Democrats are for increasing government size and regulation.
Let’s be clear here: McCain’s finance adviser pushed this deregulation.
Trusting Republicans to put in place strong regulation is insane. It is the antithesis of everything they believe.

tim,
I seem to recall many countries saying if we went into Iraq, we were on our own. Very few countries backed us on Iraq. They did back us on Afghanistan, where it was proved the Taliban supported the terrorist attacks. Our only major backer was Britian, and ask the Brits what they thought of Blair backing Bush’s play in Iraq.

What happened to Barack the optimist? The uniter? Too bad, I would have voted for that guy….but not this guy.
Posted by: Jeremy | Sep 15, 2008 5:47:28 PM
What happened to McCain the “maverick?” Answer that question, Jeremy. Answer it now. And while you’re answering it, please give specifics about what exactly it is that McCain did to earn the title of “maverick.” While you’re at it, give us all the details of what exactly it is that makes Sarah Palin a “maverick.” I’m betting there will be zero response from you because you have nothing to offer other than tired republican talking points.

dan…
you dont get it man!! obama is the man!!! once he gets in there, im totally confident he can fix our economy, get us out of the “republican” debt, and find money to pay for everything he wants to do… oh wait, THAT COULD NEVER POSSIBLY HAPPEN. so which is it for those on the left? do you want to REALLY fix our economic crisis (stop the spending) or spend more to get what he wants? your choice apparently…

“Trusting Republicans to put in place strong regulation is insane. It is the antithesis of everything they believe.”
Well put JohnTx

You’ve got to be kidding, Belle. Sarah Palin is a proven liar time and time again. The only conviction she’s shown any courage in is telling the same lies over and over again until she thinks people will be dumb enough to believe she’s telling the truth.

mack…
thats not what i was saying.. lol you jumped issues on me. you made it seem like you were doubtful that the intel the bush admin. gave to the congress to vote on was not credible. i simply said that the rest of the world agreed with the intel. i said nothing about the rest of the worlds response if we were to go into iraq. you made a typical “bush lied” statement and i just wanted to correct you that if he lied, he did a pretty good job seeing that the rest of the world agreed with the intel we had.

russel4america…
simple question for you: what is she lying about and give me your proof?

Obama is a hypocrite. His economic team is headed by two individuals who bilked Americans for millions in compenstation through Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and Obama himself is Number 3 in receiving contributions from both of these guys. Barack has received 100Ks in campaign money in just a few years. He’s simply on the take from these guys and his faux outrage is nonsense. Freddie and Fannie started this mess here and Obama is only lashing out now because he knows he’s apart of the problem.

Why can’t McCain and Obama get together in a Town Hall meeting and just simply answer the questions that need to be answered instead of all this “back and forth”? Can Obama debate without his teleprompter? I heard he even took it to the Rodeo today so he could set it up for his speech.
Posted by: susie | Sep 15, 2008 7:15:20 PM
Can McCain tell the truth, Susie? Can McCain remember details without Joe Lieberman whispering into his ear? Can McCain hold fast to one position without flipflopping? The answer to those questions is a resounding NO. I encourage all here to research McCain’s voting record on our troops, our veterans, women’s issues, the environment, the economy, etc. Research the issues and what you’ll learn about McCain will anger you, sadden you, and disgust you all at the same time. John McCain does NOT put country first. He puts it dead last. All McCain wants to do before he dies is to be the president. Smart people won’t give him that wish. Smart people will vote for Obama — based on the issues, not lies.
You’ll get your chance to see McCain and Obama debating in 3 televised debates. You need “townhall” meetings too?
If you really put country first, you’ll vote on the issues, and you’ll vote for Obama. A vote for McCain is a vote for destroying the United States.

Wanna know who to vote for? Look at your 401k…mine is down by 20% this year. The Republicans claim to be friendly to business. But why does the market suck so bad under GOP (Bush, Paulson) control?
A vote for McCain is a vote for bank failures, bailouts, and depression.

congress rick. congress.

simple question for you: what is she lying about and give me your proof?
Posted by: tim | Sep 15, 2008 7:22:05 PM
I guess you haven’t heard: The “bridge to nowhere” Palin claims to have been against, she was actually for it. She actually lobbied hard for it. When it became politically bad for the republicans, she then claimed to be against it. The plane she claims to have sold on Ebay, well, as it turns out, she didn’t really sell that plane on Ebay. The plane had to be sold by the state, and the state lost money on it to the tune of $600,000. How about that cook she claims to have fired, you know, the one in the governors mansion–as it turns out, she didn’t fire that cook at all, she just changed the woman’s title, yet kept her at the mansion, cooking. Were you aware that Palin is being investigated for ethics violations in Alaska? Did you know she tried to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from the Alaska state troopers, only to have the troopers say thanks but no thanks to her demands that he be fired? Did you know that Palin was censured by the court because she was harassing her ex-brother-in-law?
I think, and republicans would be lying to deny this, if Sarah Palin was a democrat, for the lies mentioned above alone, republicans would tear Palin to shreads.
I’m asking you and everyone here to really put country first. To quit defending these shames to democracy that McCain and Palin are.
These are indeed dangerous times for our country. We need Obama now. We need the change his presidency will provide. Vote Obama.

Mack,
Your guy isn’t admitting there is a problem occuring – he is saying that the FUNDAMENTALS of our economy are NOT strong. Problems can be fixed. Maybe both of you don’t quite know what fundamentals mean! And yes – BHO is unpatriotic in my eyes, and he will run America into the ground. He was supposed to bring the country together, his mantra was hope – I have never seen America more divided, and where is the hope! McCain believes America is already a great country – BHO believes America is a mean-spirited country and he has to make it great! NOBAMA, please!

John McCain says that he will end golden parachutes for CEOs…but one of his own economic advisors, Carly Fiorina got a HUGE bonus, even though she was fired from HP. John McHypocrite at it again!

Actually according to some reports, she didn’t even kill it. It is still going on – albeit in a much smaller form – with some of the funds from the federal government.

ok, first off, the only issue that you put up there that remotely has any relevance on a vote would be the bridge to nowhere. and i dont think she did anything wrong. the plane she sold(because she actually wanted to save money and not waste it, hard to imagine i know) didnt lose money. read the facts, dont spread rumors. they werent trying to MAKE money on it, just to get rid of it. cooks?! you’re seriously going to talk about her cooks as a voting issue! not even worth a reply. these are all idiculous claims …
Posted by: tim | Sep 15, 2008 7:40:34 PM
What’s wrong, Tim, is that SHE LIED ABOUT IT. Tell me, honestly, if she were the dem nominee, wouldn’t you pick her to pieces over the fact THAT SHE LIED? Be honest. Anything to the contrary would be a lie, and you know it. We have had enough lies for the last 8 years. Doesn’t it seem curious to you that all we hear from McCain and Palin are attacks and lies? Doesn’t that make you think that’s all they have to offer? Are you truly happy with our country for the last 8 years? Think it will be any better under McCain? This is our country for God’s sake. Yet all we do is bicker over stupid things like lipstick on a pig (yet another typical republican distraction tactic). Love your country first. This is too important a vote to waste on McCain, someone who will just finish the job of putting this country in the toilet.

Obama being a threat to our country? How stupid. You think he played President while in Iraq? What about McCain & Georgia? Since his lobbyist for Georgia/campaign advisor was still lobbying for Georgia while involved in McCain’s campaign-McCain acted like HE was the President. He (and his lobbyist advisor) have a wonderful relationship with Georgia. It’s no wonder he had the reaction he did against Russia. Do you really think McCain would be reluctant to send our troups into Georgia, Russia, Iran, etc.? According to Palin-not even blink first. That’s frightening.

Ron Paul knows economics. He predicted this state of affairs YEARS ago. Google it. There is also a video of him speaking on the House floor in opposition to the Iraq War BEFORE IT BEGAN. His words are chillingly prophetic. Google it. Facts are facts.

Economic risk.
In contrast to Obama’s economic record of…..of….of…..of……of…

Todays financial crisis can be traced to:
In 1999, President Clinton signed the Financial Services Modernization Act, which tore down Glass-Steagall’s reforms by removing the walls separating banks, securities firms and insurers. (which was created after the bank failures that caused the great depression)
Under President Clinton and his successor, the government became eager to promote home ownership. Interest rates were low, the market grew for loans to borrowers with weak credit and private-sector mortgage bonds boomed. About 38 percent of those bonds were backed by subprime loans. They are at the root of today’s financial crisis.
src: McClatchey
Bill Clinton also gave China “most favored Nation” status, a noble cause that even republicans like Newt Gingrich agreed with, as constructive engagement. However, it can be argued that the playing field is not fair and Chinas importing to the US of cheap sweat shop goods, US companies moving jobs overseas in order to compete, and the resulting Chinese appetite for petroleum to support the resulting 10% plus growth, have contributed heavily to todays high fuel prices. More of our own consumer driven madness contributing to our economic decline.

FactOid,
If, in fact Clinton is responsible,
The Republicans with their insight into
such matters had 8 years to remedy the situation and they failed to.
So what is your argument for allowing them to continue doing what they always do?
Hoover, Reagan, Bush II
