Obama Heckled By Protestors
ABC’s David Kerley and Sunlen Miller report: For the second time in two months, Senator Obama was heckled by African American protestors during events in Florida.
Shortly after starting his remarks before a 7,000 person rally in Coral Gables, Friday, Obama was abruptly interrupted by a group of about 20 African American protestors.
The group of mostly men chanted and waved signs reading, "Obama endorsed by the KKK" and "Blacks against Obama."
The Democratic nominee – aware of the distraction – stopped his remarks and called out the protestors.
"Hey young people out there – it’s no problem for you to put your signs up, but let everybody – let me finish what I have to say, alright? Come on guys."
As Obama continued his speech – the protests did not subside, causing the rest of the crowd to attempt to drown out the protestorswith ‘Yes we can’ chants instead – in support of Senator Obama.
The protestors were escorted out by secret service and Obama campaign staff.
"Alright guys, see ya," Obama said to them as they left the arena at the University of Miami, "Alright, let’s get back to work."
This wasn’t the first time Obama was besieged by a racially infused protest by African Americans. At the beginning of August in St Petersburg, FL , Obama was similarly interrupted by a smaller group of protestors with signs saying, "What about the black community, Obama?"

I guess everyone has the right to their opinon. If the KKK is for Obama, why not let them endorse him there selves. Why does these protestors fell the need to represent for them.

This is money buying Obama – hedge funds, Frannie connection (Johnson), etc.

I guess lyling didnt pay off for ya, eh, McCain? Caught lying, reversals, gaffes, green vp. Geez, they are imploding. Even Karl Rove and the WSJ called McCain for lying. The WSJ called him out for lying again today, and called him un-presidential.. OUCH!

I am a 20 year career military man. I can judge and critique leadership and patriotism. First of all, John McCain has dragged this campaign into the mud and the only way for Barrack Obama to get his message across was to get a little down and dirty with him. That’s called, intelligent tactics. I was and still am a supporter of President Bush. His policies stem from closely held beliefs. McCain on the other hand is a clueless puppet, who just wants to be President before he dies. I don’t see any hint of leadership from this guy. If I had to follow someone into battle, I darned sure wouldn’t want to follow him. There is a thing in the military called Attention to Detail. Watching McCain for the past year and learning of his history (shot down in Vietnam), we know this guy has a problem with detail. The good Pilots make it home from missions, the good Politicians don’t consistently put their foot in their mouths. ie (The Economy is Strong). It’s time for America to rally around a true leader and the man who has come out of nowhere to beat the status quo. He is highly intelligent and ready to lead this country. Don’t let this clueless McCain and that knucklehead Palin leave our cvountry broken down in a ditch. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN 08!
Posted by: John | September 19, 2008, 4:45 pm 4:45 pm
DL,
McCain in 2005 called for Frannie to be put under watch and warned that their behavior would lead to a financial crisis.
Obama, on the other hand, said nothing against them, took their funding, and even took as an advisor the former head of Fannie Mae (Jim Johnson)
Barack Obama has just demonstrated that he is OWNED BY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS TODAY, THE SAME ONES WHO GAVE HIM THE MOST MONEY OF ANY CANDIDATE IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME.

I believe this so-called “endorsement” was very early this year, when the KKK decided they’d rather have Obama than Hillary. (In fact, they referred to Hillary, using the “B” word.) Classy, eh?
I’m not sure what the protestors were trying to prove. Surely they don’t think Sen. Obama sought out KKK endorsement. I thought Sen. Obama’s reaction to the protestors was classy.

McCain made one speech but continued to vote for deregulation in the rest of the banking sector…he called out AFTER the enron scandal and a lot of this was unpopular…
so he makes a speech
isn’t that what mcCain does…
leads like an economic moron hangiong with the bad guys until his economic beliefs bite us in the a$$…
before the S and L scandal he is fighting for deregulation and hanging with Keating every freakin day…vacationing with the guy…his banking deregualtion lobbyist friends…taking donations and getting him contracts from his wife’s company…
then the sh#$ hits the fan and mcCain says “oh I’ve learned my evil ways” as the country pays a trillion dollars.
then enron loophole gets written by his buddy mentor sr. economic advisor…
Phil Gramm… he is all for it…
and then the sh#$ hits the fan money goes out the window…the federal governemtn has to step in and he gives a speech on a similar issue that needs to be regulated…
then he fights for us to go to war with iraq… we lost a trillion dollars
then he rehires the guy he trashed about deregulation as Gramm is lobbying for the deregulation that he supposedly was against…to write the nation’s economic policies for the future 4-8 years…
he continues to talk about needing less regulation in much of the sector throughout this campaign
maybe once giving a speech that sort of hinted in the other direction when the signs of this travesty were about to come back and bite him and his deregulation lobbyist friends in the a$$
a trillion dollars later again…he says …I have been calling for regulation.
this election and John mcCain’s credibility on any issue that has to do with economics…
is a joke at this point.
3 trillion dollars later.
thank god his political career was only as long as it was…
otherwise we may be the united states of the national bank of china at this point.
throw these bums out.

I am no supporter of Obama….AT ALL
But the bailouts, to some extent, will protect the working class.
What happens to a working class family if their 401K disappears? What happens when they lose their job? What happens when the insurance company can’t pay up after a hurricane?
These companies are necessary for the American company. Stockholders in AIG, FM, and FM were WIPED OUT by this crisis. This is not aiding the rich or reqrding poor stewardship…it is putting water on a fire before it rages out of control.

Personally, I think the blacks protesting against Obama were hired by Carl Rove or one of his operatives. He has done the same thing before and it would not be unlike hom to do so again in an election where he thinks McCain will lose unless he does something drastic. Rove has given Republicans a black eye and it makes me sad to think he is a member of my political party.

John Adams, second United States President, would rebuke these comments.
Notwithstanding, the Klan should endorses the social agenda Mr. Obama suggest, and the Obama campaign should accept their endorsement on behalf of progress towards healing this great nation.
Suggesting the GOP is behind this action is incredulous and nearly as comical as the GOP suggesting the DNC’s is receiving favoritism in this presidential election.
A big round of applause for the United States of America coming together thus reinforcing the Klan can set aside their biases and support a candidate for the highest office in the land.

Jeezus people, stop regurgitating the “not-enough regulation” talking point. Anyone with a CLUE about economics is marking the cause as the OVER-regulation of the Community Redevelopment Act which forced creditors to make bad loans or face stiff penalties from the Fed. This caused subprime loans to be repackaged as A rated or better in mortgage backed securities.
And then we have the gall to call the LENDERS “predatory.”
LESS regulation is the answer, not more of the same.

Bhrandon,
Get your facts straight. McCain put forward a bill to limit Frannie’s wreckless behavior.
Meantime, Obama, whose advisor Jim Johnson was the head of Frannie, bailed out Frannie and other big name investment banks.
McCain went against wealthy financial firms and told them: If you’re going to act recklessly, then you’ll pay the price.
Obama bailed them out and said: The wealthy are more important than the poor, so we’ll give them all the money they need to keep stable.
Now before any of you say that you can’t let the rich fail because it will TRICKLE DOWN to the poorer classes………….SINCE WHEN ARE YOU REAGANITES.

The rumor that the KKK endorsed or supported Obama came from some stupid (unless they were deliberately misrepresenting it) people taking a satirical, humorous article in a British publication as if it was anything other than an obvious joke. The article was sent around via email, with the original disclaimer that it wasn’t to be taken seriously missing. Snopes.com debunked this myth back in February — see for yourself, it’s the second Google result for “Obama KKK”. Or just, you know, think for 3 seconds and realize that the KKK would never endorse a black candidate, especially one whose mother was a white woman!

Sold out the working class? Do you have the slightest understanding of what this bailout did? It wasn’t aimed at protecting rich speculators; without the bailout this situation would likely have led to a chain-collapse of hundreds of small banks across America. It would have destroyed the savings and retirement income of millions of Americans who had nothing wrong or irresponsible other than trusting that the government could manage the economy. Obama protected the middle class and working folks, and hopefully (although not likely) the men and women whose irresponsible actions led to this situation will be rewarded for it accordingly. Its an extremely tough situation, and its likely Obama is losing political points the way he is handling it, even though he is doing the right thing. I would be proud to have him serve me as president.

Frodo, well being your stuck in middle earth, you can go back to the Shire.
Racist, remarks only show your ignorance.
Here is the truth, they where paid, funded by an offshoot of the Rebublican party.
Here is what happened in fremont, a protest group at a clinic for women, got arrested, they where told by the judge pay a fine or take a child out of the system, ok out of over 25 protesters only 3 took children, 2 brought the child back the same day, one the next day. The where paid. They did not care about the issue, or cause.
What they care about is MONEY and it is sad that they have to stoop so low. Just to have fun and make a few bucks.
They do not represent the black vote, they represent MONEY and the way our economy is it is no wonder or surprize.
Check the pictures out, I bet you will see the same folk at most Obama ralleys, do how they getting there?

These protesters are based out of South Florida. They represent a radical Black/Hebrew cult philosophy founded by a demagogue named Mike(“Mike the blackman.”) Boss Radio. I will remain anonymous but I want everyone to understand how dangerous it is for him to campaign against the establishment, the wackos and facist that abound in our nation at this point in American history. The founder of this cult was a former Yahweh ben Yahweh follower, a cult leader who has convicted of murder. He used his henchmen to murder store owners and drug dealers alike in the late eighties to gain power and to advance his cult philosophy. I know the feds can trace this post. I don’t mind. I understand this campaign, this truely is “Our Moment.”. be safe Barack. If someone hurts you fighting for what you believe in, I don’t think I would ever be the same.

First of all, back the bailout plan to buy up the mortgage securities will help EVERYBODY. For ignorant posters out there – everybody uses banks and a wide majority of americans (and a ton of people outside of the US) have money in pensions and 401ks for their retirement. The plan will help all those people not soley firms on Wall Street that are currently being gutted for those who don’t know. Not to mention Barack has asked for a second stimulus package for everybody which will include stimulus checks and infrastructure projects that will both put people to work AND be in investment in the United States. Get your facts straight…it’s ignorant people like some of those on this board that got us in this mess in the first place by voting Bush into office…twice.

To jim: Obama spoke out against the government bailouts. Who are these people? One of those signs said, “Obama for Gay Marriage.” Which is totally false, unfortunately. I’d love for equal marriage rights in the US. These folks were apparently falsely informed, or paid a lot of money by the McCain camp. The McCain camp has been sending out fraudulent ballots in this state to people who will likely vote Democrat. Republicans know that it would take cheating to win.

Obama is liar and a racist who is running on a race card and lying about it even while pushing it. What does it say about blacks in America as well when 95% of them are for Obama, because he’s black?
Black Americans are the worst racists in the world, the KKK could take lessons from them.

These protesters were probably the same ones shipped in to Florida from New york to stop the ballots from being recounted in 2000 by Jim Baker. The Republicans think they are above the law. Ever since Nixon’s cabinet went to prison, the Republicans have found new ways to corruption without getting caught. Where are Woodward and Bernstein when you need them? Why is it that Rove and Todd Palin can both ignore subpeonas? Could a private citizen ignore a subpeona without being held in contempt? How is that that is 2000 in my state of Florida people were being stopped from voting? How is it now that the Republicans are trying to disallow voters from foreclosed on homes claiming they can’t verify their address? How is that that they can call Jewish seniors in my state claiming that Obama is part of Hamas. It is about time that these bums go to prison again. They have cost us thousands of young lives looking for non existent weapons of mass destruction. They have cost of jobs and homes. Yet people, like sheep still blindly let them get away with it.

Seems to me like this is something that can only help Obama. It will cause some non-black voters to feel at ease that perhaps he’s not in the pocket of blacks – that, “Well, if they don’t like him then maybe he’s not as bad as I feared.”
And it’s not like he’s going to lose the black vote. This could only help him.

I am completely convinced that in order to be an Obama supporter , one has to have a single digit IQ! If a Republican Presidential candidate had the background , and questionable associations that Obama has ,he wouldn’t get ten percent of the population to vote for him , and the press would have long ago crucified him.
You Obama bots are the most simple minded dolts I have ever known!!
The other thing that is revolting is the thought of having that monkey looking wife of his , with the hindquarters of a Clydesdale for hips , in the White house! sickening thought!

***you liberal idiot’s – it just really irk’s you to the extreme to actually see protesters protest at obama’s speech, you liberal’s are a bunch of double standard lying babies! you liberal nuts always protest anywhere there is a republican speaking freely, and you know that is true, bunch of freakin hypocrites!***
The difference is that when I protest I do it respectfully: I don’t try to drown out the speaker the way these jackasses did.
***that is the perfect example on how un-American you liberal moron’s are, trying to shut other people up who have a diffent opinion than your’s!***
Unlike the current administration, with its “free speech zones” and people not allowed to hold up protest signs or wear anything but pro-Bush slogans when the Resident drives by? You’ve got to be kidding.
***the protestors in minnesota were able to protest in peace until they started damaging property, assaulting people and police officer’s, etc.***
Like the journalists who were assaulted by cops, left lying on the ground for hours, and had their credentials ripped from them? Those protestors?
I have no use for people who want to smash stuff up, but the Constitution (remember that inconvenient little document?) explicitly allows us to “assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
***what more proof you hell-bound idiot’s have no commonsense and are double standard hypocrites!***
I’d be interested to see *any* “proof” that I’m a “double-standard hypocrite.”
***and i don’t care what you morons think, i bet most of the people posting these comments are angry judgemental african-american’s with no brain’s and left-wing liberal college taught idiot’s by professor’s who damaged your brains by dumbing down your conscience, which you morons don’t have in the first place! ***
Actually, I’m a 47-year-old white male living in Minnesota and working an entry-level job at a bank. I don’t have a college degree, but I have some notion of how to punctuate and construct a sentence, unlike you, apparently (you don’t add an apostrophe before an “s” when you’re making a word plural. It’s “idiots,” not “idiot’s,” for example). I have a conscience, I keep abreast of current events, and I don’t have to descend to personal insults to make a point, unlike you.
So who’s the “idiot?”

I’m surprised there aren’t more protests like this. Obama is profiting off of the hopes of black Americans, and plenty of black people know it. He has manufactured an identity beginning in college when he dumped his predominately white friends to craft an image of himself as something he is not, for the sole purpose of climbing the ranks of American power. The media helps him out with this bs, but as Lynn Swann says, No one man represents all of America’s diversity. And that’s the idea Obama’s trying to peddle, not for the good of others, but to gain power.

obama led the Charge, rallied them all to register, vote for him. He promised them the promised land. Since then he pretty much has deserted them and left them at the way side.

Perhaps these protesters were people that looked deeper into Obama, whether it be his policies, his actual behavior, or his past and found something of grave concern? Funny how people are so quick to rush to judgement when someone disagrees, particularly in the exchanges between the right and left?

my African American friend feels very disappointed in Obama for not showing greater ethnic favoritism. I favor reparations myself but I feel the presidency this time is much more important than any one issue … when people only care about their own issue we have ruination. What we need is for people to care about each other’s issues. Obama said in 04 “We Are Our Brother’s Keeper.” This campaign in the primary after Rev Whatshisname Obama said “We are all one.” Now he says we know the world as it is. Let us make the world as it should be. How do you find fault with someone who did South Side Chicago community organizing and could have been selfish and earned much more? What is your problem? I think you are mad because he says you need to be fatherly fathers. So be mad.

International Peoples Demcratic UHURU Movement, is embarrassing Obama because he has no agenda for the black community , instead of his lecturing black fathers to take care of their families. UHURU- real community Organizers. did Obama help to Free Fred hampton Jr. NO. Did he propose equal funiding for schools in chicago, no. Does he fight for reparations ion the black community, No. Uhuru does fight for the community everyday in several cities. He made a big mistake, if this happens more it will hurt the black and youth vote. Pay attention Obama, these are your key voting blocks.
I will vote for Obama for my Children’s sake, But my heart will always be with UHURU

Barry Hussein Soetoro Barack Obama is a left-wing, socialist “empty suit.”
I would not be surprised if HIS treacherous camp set that up- to get headlines and play the victim- as they are so very well trained to behave.
Barry has no experience- except how to get lots of campaign contributions, manipulate the media and avoid answering the tough questions.
Democrats are not Democrats anymore. They are liberals- left wing extremists.
Republicans- are no long Republicans- in the old sense of the world.
Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin are REFORMERS- in the mold of Ronald Reagan.
Now- for all you independents and undecided voters- Google these:
(Obama-maniacs- don’t bother. Just keep drinking the Kool-Aid)
Obama-Rezko
Obama- Rev. Jeremiah “G.D.America” Wright
Obama-Farrakhan-Million Man March
Obama- Bill Ayres
Obama-Father Fleuger
Obama-Riots

Michelle Obama Thesis
Obama- Annenberg
Sandra Bernhard-Black Brothers will Gang Rape Sarah Palin

You should be voting for a candidate that favors supporting our public education system. Perhaps Obama is the better one for that.
It makes a HUGE difference when someone tries to represent something that they are not! Many in the African-American community believe that he is and for that sole reason, they want to vote for him… He certainly isn’t doing anything to clarify who and what he represents…

We are a part of the puzzle, but he also will be serving America as a whole and that includes all races of people. He is running for president of America so he is for helping America as a whole. I support Obama and I think that in addition to helping America as a whole he will also help African Americans. Just as the Clinton administration benefited African Americans (in some ways) because America as a whole had a good economy.

Barack’s mother was white, he lived in Hawaii as a young boy where he smoked ganja and snore coke.
He graduated from Harvard University and now spends $20,000 per year for each of her children’s schooling.
Barack is elitist, pompous and knows how to speak and debate very well, BUT,…his words are empty and hollow and lacks honesty and sincerity.
Barack is just another politician that will do or say whatever it takes to fulfill his political ambitions; that is why, Nobody knows who he really is or what he stands for.
Blacks are confused and are beginning to speak out because Barack is not speaking about social justice or equality or national health insurance or any social programs that would benefit the poor and disadvantaged.
What some members of the black community don’t understand is that Barack is calculated and methodical about hiding his true convictions and intentions, as a way to get elected. But we all know who the real Barack is:
Barack had a 20 year association with his religious leader and priest Jeremiah Wright, who became Barack’s idol and role model. Jeremiah married Barack and baptized both daughters. AND, we all remember the videos of Jeremiah Wright damning America with bombastic joy after the criminal attack on America on 9/11.
Barack’s religious leader Jeremiah Wright used his tax-exempt church to exercise a radical political agenda.
A longtime friend of Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright has called for divestment from Israel and refers to Israel, as well as America, as a “racist” state. ”Theologically he believes that the true ‘Chosen People’ are the blacks,” said Caroline B. Glick, an editor for the Jerusalem Post. “Indeed he is a black supremacist.” ”He believes that black values are superior to middle-class American values,” she added, “and that blacks should isolate themselves from the wider American society.”
Let’s not Forget the fact that:
Barack wants to be president of the United States to implement Jeremiah Wrights dream of a black supremacist society in America; and that is why it is so important for americans of all political parties to come together to preserve the future of the country we love.
Country First!

Oh I forgot to respond the idiot above me. You are just as shameful as the ignorance that stood with signs, only worse. Go on and admit that you are a dumb ass. Stop trying to distract from what’s wrong with America. Stop toting the line of your professors: Rush and Hannity. The truth is, Republicans, led by the President, has failed miserably, to the point where we are witnessing Katrina all over again. Where was the President earlier this week with the mess hit the fan? Only yesterday, did he show himself. Out with the Republican bums. Obama-Biden ’08

Gaias Child said “Obama isn’t African american, He’s Kenyan American. He has no ties to the AA community”
OMG, You must be brain dead. Kenya is in Africa you moron. No ties to the AA community, can you say Rev Wright.. What planet are you from?
The assumption that these protesters are republican is premature. They could just as easily be plants or connected to the black liberation theology, which Obama used to belong before it became inconvenient to his campaign.

I suggest we all keep focused on the important issues like the ecnomy instead of all the meaningless distractions of who is shouting at who. For example, the faltering economy…or whether we will even have a legitimate election.
Mark Crispin Miller: Why They Chose Sarah Palin
…And What to do About it…
To understand how Team McCain intends to get away with stealing this election, we must recall how Team Bush got away with it four years ago. (Those aren’t two different teams.) The plan for stealing this contest has everything to do with the ostensibly surprising choice of Sarah Palin as McCain’s VP.
Here’s why…

“Just as the Clinton administration benefited African Americans (in some ways) because America as a whole had a good economy.”
Are you kidding me, in some ways… How soon we forget. The Clinton’s did MANY things for the African-American community and people.
Even for those of us who aren’t big fans of the Clinton’s, I felt sorry for them when the African-American community turned their backs on them for someone who skin color is more like their own… And you say that this race isn’t about RACE???
Racism is alive and well today…

These people that are protesting are an extremist group called the Uhuru’s in Florida we call them the Ubohoos because they complain about everything. For example in St. Pete this young African American kid pulled a gun on a cop and the cop shot him to death. The uhuru’s threatened to riot because they say it was because he was black (by the way the officer that shot him was black also) The point is this group is very very very far from mainstream american views. Google them and see for yourself.

Hillary said it best he’s not ready to lead!!! All Obama is talking about is CHANGE(‘dosen’t say what kind of CHANGE) and taxing the rich. Wake up America – taxing the rich will fall on the poor and middle class. The poor and middle class will loose jobs and pay raises because the tax increase on the rich. The rich will pass the ‘tax hike’ on to us! CHANGE IS NOT ALWAYS G O O D CHANGE!!! I’m putting my vote were I know I won’t (and the country won’t) regret it after the election!! McCain / Palin

If congress doesn’t bail out these fools we will destroy the middle class completely and forever.
McCain keeps his stance that we need to fire the SEC chief and rid Washington of the “old boy” network. Hmm, his party appointed the SEC chief and he is the old white male with 26 years in DC and 20 years in the military as a legacy. He is multi-generational in the service, finished 2nd to last in his class at the academy, and his first scandal was the Keating 5. He is calling for us to oust him, read between his lines and give him a ticket to AZ in November! Retire the old gray horse!!

Dear Idiots,
Who do you think pays for all of the lower and middle classes’ benefits? Who do you think purchases the majority of the products that the working class makes? Whose tax money do you think the government uses? The lower/middle class?
Which is more, 30% of $25,000 or 10% of $200,000? Who pays more money in taxes, again? Get a calculator. I put myself through school with 3 jobs. Now I got the job I deserve, and somehow, I owe poor people money? Earn it your damn self. I did. Stop bitching. Do the math.

It is so hilarious to read these blog comments. All the conspiracy theories. This is not the first time politician has been heckled. It won’t be the last. The hecklers do not know Obama, just as you and I do not know him, personally.
There are some really weird comments on here like, “Perhaps these protesters were people that looked deeper into Obama”, “He promised them the promised land.”, “Black women in America are Satan “.
Guys, he is speaking at a rally about economic issues. We all may need set aside our personal issues and look at the issues that effect our children.
Thank God for this country and Thank God for our FREEDOM OF SPEECH. We are supposed to be an example. It is great to debate, but maybe we should be debating health care,economy .etc

Filipinos generally love the tinsel of elections. There is hope for the Philippines, if good men and women can work the levers of consensual change through the ballot. I’m waiting for our Obama with expectant faith. Thank you, America, for the good example.

It’s funny because these were precisely the tactics employed by Republicans in the last senatorial race in Maryland. The black Lt. Governor, Michael Steele, paid homeless black people from Philadelphia to come to black communities in Maryland and hand out fliers that falsely claimed Steele was the Democratic nominee when in fact he is a Republican. Imagine the PR storm that erupted after this was revealed.
Also, is there a rule against Republicans using correct grammar? If I have to read one more message board where people cannot figure out how to spell or where to put apostrophes, my head my explode.

Reading these comments makes me realize just how many morons live in this country. This protest was clearly a hack job sponsored by some whacky organization interested in promoting its own agenda. It would be one thing if their protest signs actually bore a resemblance to the truth. And what, this is the second time in months that someone heckled Obama? In contrast, John McCain gets heckled so often (including at the RNC itself!) that it’s not news anymore. And what’s scary is that McCain’s hecklers actually tend to make legitimate points unlike the clowns mentioned above.

As an Illinois State Senator, Obama earmarked Illinois tax dollars to Tony Rezko with the supposed intention to develop public housing. Rezko developed slums, still “thriving” to this very day. Earlier in the year, Obama claimed he knew nothing about it. Conveniently, records of his years as a State Senator “do not exist.” At the end of the day, Obama went home to his mansion, bought with the help of the same Tony Rezko. Yeah, he’s Presidential material. Not.

Has it ever occured to anyone that these people could be setup to push more white males to Obama? See, you got these extremist black folks and by Obama publicly disowning them it makes him look more centralistic. Takes idea off the fact Rev.Wright was his pastor. Off the fact he is all about affirmative action and that he has routine conversations with Rev.Sharpton.
Now you see. These people were planted.

Whackos may be the source but the whole incident smells like hired goons. The same sort of thing happened in the 30′s when many of the company owners got hoodlums to bash the heads of miners who refused to go into the pits until safety measures were installed. Do I get a whiff of Karl Rove here ?

Thank you to Kelley for interviewing the protestors.
Where were the media reporters? Did they interview these protestors? I did not see their reporting. There had to be a reason why blacks were protesting.
Where were the secret service agents? Were individuals photos take, and why not. If he was to become president his life could be endanger by these protestors, regardless of who inspired them to be there.
I am tired of the words African-American. You are Black-Americans. Unless they were born in Africa and became USA citizens then African-American would be correct. I don’t call myself European-American, or French-American, German-American or French/German-American. I was born in America.

Captain Obvious – your statement that the Community Reinvestment Act is resposible for the mortgage crises is so absurd it’s beyond hilarious.
CRA did NOT force banks to make bad loans. Many of these bad loans were “stated income” (aka “liar loans”) where incomes were inflated way above the borrower’s actual income. Any loan with a stated income would not help a bank with their CRA rating because the loan would not be considered to have been made to a low or moderate income person.
What caused this crisis is that some folks saw an opportunity to make a whole bunch of money by making fraudulent loans and it attracted just about every criminal element on the planet including the Russian mob and terrorist financers. The loans were not being made in areas of the bank subject to normal supervision and the theives ran rampant.
It is obvious by your post that you just took some right wing talking point and are running with it, and you have never had to work on a CRA program or affordable housing solution.

Please go back to 6th grade and learn how to use punctuation. Just because a word ends with the letter “s” doesn’t mean it needs an apostrophe. If you knew how to write like an adult, you’d seem like less of an idiot. Not by much, mind you, but it’d be a start.
Oh, and in case you haven’t heard, you might want to consider voting for a SMART person for President. Despite what all you haters seem to think, NO, it’s NOT cool to be uneducated, unskilled, half literate, and macho. Get over yourself.

Well at least the African American republican party in Florida is growing. “Shortly after starting his remarks before a 7,000 person rally in Coral Gables, Friday, Obama was abruptly interrupted by a group of about 20 African American protestors.” “At the beginning of August in St Petersburg, FL , Obama was similarly interrupted by a smaller group of protestors with signs saying, “What about the black community, Obama?”

Besides, if you really think putting two-faced McCain in office is the answer, you’ve got way more important things to worry about than spelling.

What’s the big deal? People can still protest in this country…who knows for how long, but we can for now. It would be better if people protested peacefully and civilly. People would respect that more. But, think of all the uncivil knuckleheads we deal with in our daily lives and have to put up with. Why should a political candidate be immune from that?
As for the guy above who mentioned ‘Gitmo’ in the same sentence as the protesters vs. the police in St. Paul during the RNC, they were destroying public and private property and raising Cain. Also, at the RNC a few Code Pinkers snuck in and heckled McCain, so for the other poster above, Leftists do indeed engage in such things…and would do it more if security allowed.
Next time you’re in Washington D.C., you’ll see people on the Mall set up for this cause or that. That’s a wonderful thing about this country.

“When you tax big business, business does two things: Up prices of goods, and downsize jobs. This is basic economics.”
Basic ignorance economics. When you tax big business, you provide a more equal distribution of taxation, allowing more people access to goods and services and more purchasing power. Businesses don’t make money if there is no demand.
When you don’t tax big business, they keep money to pay out in security options and higher salaries for their board. Salaries don’t increase and workers don’t benefit. This is called greed, ask Reagan and Bush Jr. about it.

Reading the comments here, I have only seen a handful that are actually about economic policy. Its true that you could contrast this to the similar but slightly different McCain speech protests, but more important, how about someone talks about his speech itself instead?
I haven’t heard his Friday speech, but listened to many of his other ones, as well as many of McCain’s, and Palin’s recent speech.
‘McPainful’ is completely right with regard to economics, but on the other hand, having looked at big oil and big business’s contributions to McCain’s campaign, it seems to me that big business without regulation or accountability is equally bad.
As for education, although there are flaws in Obama’s policy, it is a legitimate attempt to set up a hierarchy of teachers who encourage better teaching and testing methods. John McCain’s policy, according to his own page, supports schools of ‘demonstrated excellence’, including on’es own home. I am partially home-schooled, so I can support this. However, home schooling is one thing, but isolation and a single-sided argument, which is often the case, is another. He says that he wants schools that don’t dodge ‘accountability’ and have ‘character-building teachers’.
LEARN CHARACTER AT HOME, GET AN EDUCATION WHERE YOU PLEASE, AND LEARN EVERYWHERE.
The country doesn’t run on character anymore than it does hope.
Peace y’all.

I actually went to the michalwarns site to see what they were talking about. Their number 1 reason not to vote for Obama is that he would make child support federal… Too many baby daddies don’t want to pay for their unsafe sex practices… Yet the second reason listed is that he believe in abortion… So they don’t want to pay for their kids and they don’t want the females to have the ability to not give birth to their mistakes… Yeah that really helps with the Stereotype of the modern Black male in America… Bunch of misogynistic religious whackos who think that 33 percent of the black females in the US are evil and “Lilith” Ever other word in CAPS and not much sense can be made of it

The fiasco that Obama provided in Coral Gables, Florida is further indication that the ‘Obama suit’ is not really empty. It’s just a confused mixture of everyone else’s stuff — the stuff that Obama wants to identify with, after it proves successful. He cannot take ownership of oversight and regulations in the Wall Street crisis. The foundations of that were proposed by his opponent years ago; and is now implicit in the actions taken by Bush and the bi-partisan team developing the bailout plan.
Before he publicly boasts of having a team of economic advisors, Obama should first learn who they are, and how to pronounce their names.
Before he publicly boasts of wisely refraining from providing the details of his recovery plan, he should first have one put together for him.
Obama is so-far-in over his head, he doesn’t know whether to scratch his watch, or wind his butt.
At the first debate, we’ll get a chance to watch him do both.

I wonder if those posters who think the GOP was behind the protesters at the Obama rally would also subscribe to a theory that the Dems were behind the son of the Dem Tennessee senator hacking into Gov Palin’s e-mail account. Does it only apply when it relates to Obama? People whine too much. This is politics, it gets dirty, and news flash, people DO think for themselves and can actually come up with these protest ideas all on their own. Personally, I am not an activist so protesting is not for me, but hey, keep in mind this IS America and it’s citizens do have the right to freedom of speech, and the right to peacefully protest, even if they voice views we disagree with.

yurgus said “…Businesses don’t make money if there is no demand.” I could not agree more. I would also add that the culture of outsourcing jobs out of america is the proof. rampant unemployment and a tanking economy … in America.

txgtrfrk – just the same one percent tht support McSane and that is not enough to make a den. 90 percent of black support Obama so that leave only 10 percent which is nothing to be worry about.

: sue – Your statement don’t make any sense. Why would a black person support a Republican? We are not voting for Obama becasue he is black only- he is also a Dems. It is funny how for years blacks have supporting the whites Dems for years and now that we once to support one that is black it is racist. You white right wing nuts just are sick. McSame is a Republican and most blacks are Dems so your comment don’t make sense. Keep your racist comments to yourself. This is not about blacks aganist whites this election is about voting for the best Person for the job and McSame have showed the American people he have very bad judgement.

gl must be a teacher….teacher’s union instructs you to vote Dems. You need to educate yourself on the facts! This is not about race…Chicago tribune…ILLinois has one of the highest taxes in the country compared to 3 years ago before Barack came into office. He voted “PRESENT” 178 days in the Senate, what kind of Change is that? He has accepted over $500,000 in campaign funds from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac who the Govt.(taxpayers) are helping bail out! He voted for illegal immigrants (12 million) to receive SS benefits & medical. How long will Americans have SS benefits if this happens. Barack has given less than 3% of his income in charitable contributions in comparison to McCain’s 26%. He has not even filed his taxes for 2007. Yet he complained about Hillary receiving funds from Lobbyists & Special Interests. Barack’s commercials are currently being sponsored by Lobbyists & Special Interest Groups. He stated that he doesn’t believe LIFE begins at conception or even at birth!!! What kind of MORON states this! Barack speaks jibberish without the teleprompters!

Another ploy to get the white vote. If whites believe blacks are against Obama that will make them feel more comfortable about voting for him. Follow any of them around, check the campaign donor lists, they are all his supporters doing their part on the stage to secure the white middle class voters.

A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO VOTING
Stop playing the mainstream media games of worrying about the personalities. Just check the actual position of all the candidates, including the third parties. It’s all about the issues. Turn off your TV’s, radios and put down your newspapers. Clear your head of all previous pre-conceived notions of each candidate. Most of your existing ideas of the candidates were created by the media and the candidates and don’t have a basis in fact. Next go straight to each candidates website, to the issue section. Compare each candidates position on the issues, once you compare all candidates, just pick the one that most falls in line with your views. Here’s a list of the candidates: McCain, Obama, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader. After you decide which candidate is for your views, keep away from all forms of the media, until election day. Last step is to cast your vote for your chosen candidate on November 4, 2008. If all Americans can be convinced to follow this plan, the establishment will be in shock on Novemeber 5. Please repost this and email to your friends. Remember isolate yourself from all media. Turn the TV down during TV commercials.

This is a plea to the media to keep Obama’s values, his character and his past experience to the forefront of covering this election.
How the heck is anyone encouraging anyone that loves this country to vote for Obama.
I can’t find any reason to do so.
The media ought to keep his past experience as community organizer and one year as a Senator one focus.
The other focus should be on his past relationships with William Ayers the domestic terrorist, Reverend Wright who supports the anti Semetic, Louis Farrakhan, Tony Rezko the criminal and the Nation of Islam members that had a rally in Chicago just a few months ago.
If McCain had these references in his resume, would you hire him for this job.
The media should get with it. Keep bringing all these issues up for the people that missed it in the primary season.
Please help our country.
Thanks.

The reason many Americans will not vote for Obama is because they are embarrassed of him, his life, his unfair tactics and his beliefs. And they still don’t know all about him. His community organizer experience and lack of military experience is not adding to his resume. Here’s a quick list of other reasons he’s being questioned whether he should be our next President:
1. They don’t want a candidate that has been in a twenty year relationship with Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.
2. They don’t’ want a candidate that has a twenty year relationship with Father Pflaeger and refers to him as his compass in life
3. They don’t want a candidate that went to a church that supports Louis Farrakhan, an anti Semitic racist, that has led a rally of 20,000 Nation of Islam members to support Obama in Chicago
4. They don’t want to defend Black Liberation theology.
5. They don’t want a candidate that lies about his relationship with Tony Rezko, the Syrian Criminal that sold his property to Obama and supported his campaign.
6. They don’t want a candidate that could work with a domestic terrorist, William Ayers.
7. They don’t want a candidate that Hamas supports.
8. They don’t want a candidate that Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam support
9. They don’t want a candidate that has a wife that has just now realized she was proud of our country.
10. They don’t want a candidate that denies Florida and Michigan their voices
11. They don’t want a candidate that mentions 57 states in his speeches. 50 states in the USA and 57 states in the Nation of Islam (IOC website)
12. They don’t want a candidate that fights unfair and hyjacks Michigan delegate votes from his opponent.
13. They don’t want a candidate that is inexperienced, especially dealing with military issues.
14. They don’t want a candidate that considers it a loss to not to be able to attend his anti American, racist Church.
15. They don’t want a candidate that has a “non practicing” Muslim father, but avoids the entire discussion of his father.
16. They don’t’ want a candidate that won’t debate
17. They don’t’ want a candidate that misleads the youth with an ‘Obama girl and her behind in their face”
18. They don’t want a candidate that says he’s an African American and missed the MLK Remembrance Day and the Louisiana Black Caucus meeting
19. They don’t want a candidate that enjoys laughing at sexism.
20. They don’t want a candidate that switches his position on gun control, FISA, the war in Iraq and abortion issues.
21. They don’t want a candidate that showcases his daughters on TV shows.
22. They don’t’ want a candidate that has poor judgment..
23. They don’t’ want a candidate named; Barack Hussein Obama
24. He is embarrassing.
25. He scares them to death.

What a show orchestrated by Obama’s campaign staff to generate sympathy from non-Black voters. American voters are not naive and stupid. They’re smart to witness 96% support Obama got from African Americans during the primary. Their support runs counter to MLK’s dream not to judge a person by the color of his skin. And Obama’s ancestry was not even connected to the Civil Rights movement. Do African-Americans think Obama will do more for them than what Clinton did? Obama knows they are a captive vote, so he will do more for non-blacks if elected to cultivate their vote. I bet his cabinet will be dominated by whites. Obama is a shrewd politician, nothing else.

Posted by: renaelk | September 20, 2008, 8:38 am 8:38 am
After getting heckled so many times by LEGITIMATE protestors, the McCain camp decided to prey on a group of disenfranchised (thank you George Bush) black youth to pay them to protest. It was clear as day to me once I saw the “protestors” escorted off. Their demeanors said it all–they looked like a bunch of jokester teenagers caught in a prank. This was in sharp contrast to the protestors we’ve seen during the McCain speeches: these people were pissed–their deep convictions and emotions were extremely evident.

Or the fact thathe hasn’t even submitted 2007 taxes! he contributes less than 3% to Charity compared to McCain’s 26%. You attack McCain but I would rather have someone with over 22 years experience than someone who has 3 years experience and family ties to Radical Muslims (Dad & Step Dad) I was a Democrat & was insulted how he attacked Hillary for accepting donations from Lobbyists & Special Interests groups…They are paying for Barack’s Commercials!!!

gloria – that is correct about taxes in illinois! if you want to see how he will run the goverment, research what the democratic controlled congress in illinois has done to my state, and your will see his policies are exactly in line with theirs! he learned his politics from greedy chicago lawmakers and his mentor senate president emil jones which is as racist as they come! the people of this state are pissed and even a large number of democratic union members that have never voted republican are voting McCain this time around, and those are facts. the union in this state carries alot of power and pull when voting in this state, but the union workers are the ones who vote in their large numbers which seem to have leaned to the republicans this election year. obama, jones, and gov. blagoivich are as greedy and corrupt as they come, and they all have ties to rezko and ayers along with many other greedy top ceo’s around chicago. the whole state is taxed heavy other than the residents around chicago, why is that, and why don’t the down state residents see any of that money! it’s greed and corruption around here. their is a mad exodus of businesses in this state that are leaving due to high taxes putting large amounts of people in unemployment lines while alot of chicago residents wait for their gov. hand-outs. if you want to see illinois budget and deficit numbers, do your research on this state, because illinois residents are living through right now the exact same policies that obama is proposing and stands for and is talking about bringing to the nation. our taxes on everything went up, even the state gas tax, now with the gas prices right now, thats bullshi*.

timmaaa7 said “your just here to try and fu** with peoples views and fears of the direction of this country!”
First things first it’s you’re not “your”. There is a simple trick I teach my kids. When I want to say “you are” I replace the “a” with an apostrophe. If I am referring to something that belongs to you, that’s when I want use your. It’s a little thing really, but it’s important. No worries I have to remind my kids too.
Where have you been in the last eight years? I have been here in the USA, the country I was born in and love.
I have watched while in the past eight years the current administration caused the deaths of thousands of people. Our military has suffered under Bush’s leadership because of a personal vendetta and oil.
Our personal freedoms and constitution i.e. freedom of speech, pro-choice, separation of church and state etc. have been threaten under the current administration. Our economy is at a all time low, and unemployment is abound. Does this not give you pause?
timmaaa7 said “i’m going to be taxed so heavy, that close to 50% of my company is going to slow down to the point i have to lay off workers.”
I’m curious, when did you start your business? I suspect that if it is true, that you will have to let go of 50% of your employees then what must be true and in particular as it impacts your employees. That this is a direct result of the actions of the Bush administration over the last eight years, or that the successful start of your business came during the healthy economic environment created by the Clinton administration. Of course, if the tables were turned and a democrat had been in the white house, I’m sure you would have no trouble attributing the source of your financial woes. This is a special skill that Republicans, of all political parties, possess: blame failure on someone else, no matter how big a part they play. The result: they just keep on digging a deeper hole (and getting madder and madder at others). They even blame their poor grammar on other people. :)
Hence your business is in the state it is in.
timmaaa7 said “don’t take personal if i call you a moron liberal, because that’s a politcal attack, not a personal one, so cry me a river if i hurt you feelings!”
Honey, you couldn’t my feelings. My life isn’t ruled by fear nor is it dictated by the rantings of a someone who loves to use the word “moron” a lot.
This is a blog (as you have stated). But seriously. I think you have an anger problem at least on paper.
And now that I sufficiently Veni vedi vici. I’ll say no more. That’s latin, in case you didn’t know. Yes I am showing off.
Have a super duper fantabulous day! And a hug…

You are a stinking cowardly idiot. You must be from one of the girlyman units in the services. To say a pilot does not pay attention to detail when they get shot down is a slap in the face to all of them past and present. The democrat party(who brought us vietmnam) ran the vietnam war and invented the policies that got our good men shot down. A true and simple political war. Research your history and you will learn that the democrat president would only give the airmen a small corridor to fly to the north. This small area had the greatest number of anti arcraft armament in the world. When he was shot down, like most prisoners of war he was tortured in ways unimaganible to the common man,(both shoulers were dislocated making one arm no more than a mike stand) (not this so called waterboard torture). when it was time for him to be released he would not go because he was the ranking officer and he thought all other men should go first(I’m sue Obama and Bush would have done the same. He stayed and was tortured even more before he was sent home. At least he has been in combat and knows the sacrafices given sending our young men and women in harms way(unlike Obama and Bush).Would I follow McCain into combat, definatly yes. Did I want him to be president, definatly not. Do you remember the democrats laughing as they crossed the lines to nominate him. Now it is biting them in the rear. I have so much more I would like to say to an idiot like you, but I just don’t want to waste any more of my time with the likes of weak military personal.

If she wanted to marry a black man we have American blacks and better looking than Obama’s father. What was she thinking.

Well, I got news for the blacks, I am voting McCain because I don’t like Obama and don’t trust his word. Secondly why didn’t he pick Hillary for his VP. Was he afraid she would overshadow him? I like Palin and I think she will do great on her debate against Biden. Plus, she is going to meet with the world leader’s because they want to talk to her.

McPainful-
Okay, I told myself no more. But you are too funny. You are cracking me up!
Stop picking on them. They’re were educated under the Reagan administration during their formative years.
In case timmaaa7 is reading this. Note the use of the word “too”. To, too, and two are all used differently.
To, is used when you are addressing someone i.e. “I’d like to speak to you”.
Too, is a adverb and used when you want to emphasize something i.e. “You are too funny or you’re too funny” either of these work.
Two, is the number that follows the number one.
Okay, I really am going now.

They are the real African-American’s. Obama is half Kenyan and half white. He is not called African American he is Mulatto. Look that word up on the internet and it will tell you he is the offspring of a white mother black father. I cannot believe how dumb people are that they don’t know he is not black or white.

He has been underhanded since he graduated college and will go on even if he is elected president. Obama is not the goody goodt two shoes that he pretends to be. You haven’t read his BIO printed in the NYT months ago and it is very interesting. I would not give my vote to a candidate that was a racist, anti-american white hater for over 20 years. I love this country and it is the greatest country in the world and Obama should have appreciated that.

The protestor’s are right about Obama, Jessie Jackson does not really like Obama and don’t trust him to do anything for hiw own race. I agree with Jessie. Obama didn’t even want to campaign in Phildelphia. And Al Sharpton puts on a good show but he doesn’t like Obama either. Obama doesn not like to campaign in black neighborhoods even out of state.

Given the Gallup polls reflecting Barack Obama’s overwhelming support from the African American community (some 90 percent support), this group probably represents the very few African Americans who are not supporting Obama. Obama is winning handily with African Americans, Hispanics, new voters, Jewish voters and women. He handled this interruption with class.
Posted by: aam1978 | September 20, 2008, 9:40 pm 9:40 pm
Mariann,
Just curious – did you and Timmaaay go to the same school?
Your twisted racism is interesting. Actually, as you say yourself, it’s ironic that Obama IS truly African-American. He is of half American descent, and half African descent. Most “African-Americans” don’t fit that description, and there are many American-born black people who don’t even like to be called “African-American.” You also wondered why Obama’s mother would choose a “less attractive” African man. Are looks the most important quality in your judgement of black men? People in general? Must be, because Palin’s looks are all she’s got. Biden will slaughter her in the debate, and then the GOP will call him sexist. Even though he’s done more for women than McCain and Palin, and probably the whole GOP combined. The want every fetus to have more rights than every living, breathing woman.
Please do us all a favor and stay home on November 4th. Yikes.

Subject: Obama’s church
Obama mentioned his church during his appearance with Oprah. It’s the Trinity Church of Christ. I found this interesting.
Obama’s church:
Please read and go to this church’s web site and read what is written there. It is very alarming.
Barack Obama is a member of this church and is running for President of the U.S. If you look at the first page of their web site, you will learn that this congregation has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. No where is AMERICA even mentioned. Notice too, what color you will need to be if you should want to join Obama’s church…_ B-L-A-C-K!!!_ Doesn’t look like his choice of religion has improved much over his (former?) Muslim upbringing. Are you aware that Obama’s middle name is Mohammed? Strip away his nice looks, the big smile and smooth talk and what do you get? Certainly a racist, as plainly defined by the stated position of his church! And possibly a covert worshiper of the Muslim faith, even today. This guy desires to rule over America while his loyalty is totally vested in a Black Africa!
I cannot believe this has not been all over the TV and newspapers. This is why it is so important to pass this message along to all of our family & friends. To think that Obama has even the slightest chance in the run for the presidency, is really scary.

McCain and Palin are the only choice because they are the only ones that stand for the white people in this country. Weather you like it or not it was formed by white christians and should stay that way. Nobody is gonna try to make me black or muslim

Wow! It is amazing how both timmaaa7 and Mariann try to pass themselves off as “Christians”. Their hateful, racist, and superficial comments are so anti-Christian that it blows my mind.
Mariann, the term “mulatto” is considered by many to be highly offensive and demeaning. We all come from mixed race backgrounds if you go back far enough, so stop speaking of “other” races as though they are a different species.

why is it that the media is quick to point out that the protesters were african american as if all afro-americans are behind him,but during the primaries were quick to say obama had trouble with the middle class voters but were reluctant to put a color on the middle class voters he was having trouble with i have yet to hear any of them put a color on the protesters at mccains rally or the color of the hillary voters the aforementioned mccain is trying to woo.THAT being said i would venture to guess those obama protesters might be organized by some group trying to put the squeeze on the campaign or they are paid plants either way my guess is that the protesters are from one of the islands because of their heavy accents and the protest happens only in florida NOW HOLD ON i know there are those who say brk dck how DARE YOU MAKE SUCH A BIGOTED REMARKS WITHDRAW THEM IMMEADIATELY OR WE WILL SEND OUR SECONDS& DEMAND SATISFACTION YOU..YOU BISCUIT EATING YELLOW BELLIED CUR||| to which i reply is it so fa fetched to believe that throughout modern day american politic groups have not threaten to withhold support,and or show up as protester at events{can anyone say jesse the ball snipper jackson and his strong arm tactics..i knew you could}like during the primaries many pundits said that the various precinct captains in philly might not work as to get out the votes for obama because he refused to pay SEED MONEY but hillary they said is a wily veteran and knows how the game is played and whose palms to grease and if she doesnt she has backing of the governor of that state who does and they said therein lays the stark difference between an old pro{hillary}who knows what it takes to win an election and the new kid on the block{barack who standing on principle but it could cost him the state.and as far as paid protesters{its good money i hear} aren’t we paying off militias in iraq heck there are paid campaign bloggers/protesters on the Internet{can any one say political spam…i knew you could}SO TO THOSE WHO WOULD SEEK TO NAIL MY BALLS{i lettered in tennis} TO THE WALL AS TROPHIES i say LIGHTEN UP ON THE MESSENGER AND BIG FIVE SELLS BALLS WITH A LOT MORE BOUNCE THAN MINE

Congressional Democrats want to use the Bush administration’s $700 billion rescue plan for U.S. financial companies to curb executive pay, spur the economy with infrastructure spending and help people avoid foreclosures, setting the stage for a possible fight with Republicans and the Bush administration.
Republicans object to adding extras to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s proposal, which would authorize the administration to spend an amount almost 50 percent larger than the Pentagon’s annual budget to buy banks’ bad mortgage debt.
Obama’s answer is to tax all Americans to pay for the extras wanted by the Democrats. Taxing all American will place America into financial jeopardy never before seen in American history. Following Obama and the Democrats will lead to a depression worse than 1929.
McCain is the man. The man is McCain.

Frodo: You are so right and he doesn’t even belong in the senate after he played dirty pool against the woman running for the senate. He is the worst underhanded politician in history. He would doublecross anyone to get what he wants and he wants the presidency so bad he can taste it. Nancy Pelosi is another dirty underhanded democrat who would do the same. I hope the republican’s take back the house so we can rid ourselves of her. She is responsible for Hillary not winning the nomination that’s why I hope the republican’s win this election and if the women of this country are smart they will make it happen. If you are a Hillary supporter then vote for McCain. Hillary got doublecrossed by Obama and Pelosi.

Mcpainful, your own copious amount of anger does not conceal you TIMorous emotions of timmaaa7, or even me. Most people spend their lives not behind a computer screen you pushy pusilanimous pustule. Hypocrisy must be your covert duty, because your eduacation in reality of itself is nothing more than a emotional rollercoaster of snide sebaceous phantasm. Do you understand that you pompous charlatan.

Just the facts, you want some? Here is my estimate of your professor-like style of judgemental attacks on timmaaa and others here. You need to calm down, your not in control of a liberal bumptious class here. This is a blog room, not a final. Your arrogance resinates the realism of why people should fear liberal educated minds, they are not open, and only show self concerned importance while excoriating with sadism.

TO ALL:
Obama’s own words in his speeches: I AM GOING TO TAX THE RICH AND BUSINESS. Who do you think will pay the increase in costs of the services and the businesses that Obama wants to tax? All American taxpayers will pay the added costs of services and business products that Obama wants to tax. Obama will create hidden taxes by his taxation programs. There is no free ride from the taxes that Obama wants. McCain is the man. The man is McCain.

All America should be Obama hecklers.

There is no free ride from the taxes that Obama wants. McCain is the man. The man is McCain.
John McCain wants to cut 700 billion dollars from the federal budget. Those 700 billion dollars go to countries that do not even like America. Do you want more taxes from Obama that tax all Americans or budget cuts from John McCain?
700 billion dollars is the figure needed to help America through the present financial crisis. Obama wants more taxes and no thoughts on budget cuts. John McCain wants budget cuts and reduction of the American tax burden. McCain is the man. The man is McCain.

Elephant,
That was a really impressive try, but you should look all those big words up in a dictionary before trying to cram as many of them as you can into one or two sentences. We’re not fooled, you insecure racist loser. And when you ARE in front of a computer screen, which just might be more than you let on … there is a really easy tool called “spell check.” You act like people with educations are judgemental sh*ts — well, then who are you trying to impress with all those big, IRRELEVANT words? Give me a break.
Anyone with half a brain to crawl out from under a rock and read this blog would have a really tough choice: Hmmmnnn, should I vote with all the racists who hate educated people? The ones who don’t question what they’re force-fed by Bill O’Reilly?
Tough call.

The ABC News Panel says that it fears John McCain. These weak men fear John McCain and Sarah Palin. These weaklings have forgotten the powers of congress to control a president. The ABC News Panel’s true fears are that a woman may become the President of the United States of America. It does not matter who she is or what her qualifications are they fear a woman. These weaklings of men live in fear that a woman will receive the powers of the President of the United States of America. What boyish sissies the ABC News Panel is. The ABC News Panel should fear Obama. Wake up little boys at ABC and look into the Malcolm X and Obama transcription. There you will find something to scary to fear.

I don’t fear a woman becoming president…just not this one. I am a 70 year old woman who would have loved to see a female v.p or pres but one that did not sell herself on distorted information on her record. S. Palin supported the bridge then took credit for cancelling it even though it had been cancelled, she approved building a sports complex on grounds that the town did not own only to result in having to pay the owner of the land 150mil. in compensation putting the town in debt. she is against abortion and I am too, But I am for the right to choose. She wants to do away with sex education in schools and put in Creationism which is a religion of sorts. She did try to control books in the library but the librarian refused to take any books out. She rules with do it my way or you are fired. There have been other firings. She scares me to death.

Undecided, big words are evidently a science portfolio of ignorance you mastered. Attacking me now on grammer, LOL. What is it with you liberal morons coming on here talking about peoples grammer saying, your grammer needs help, LOL. That’s all you bigots can say to people when they say something you don’t like or even about you. Idiots like you show why we should fear hideous liberal minds that have been corrupted by liberal professors. Your anger shows through, you can’t hide, your scared, so you attack people instead of talking about the issues, acting like your so eduacated. I guarantee you my education is alot my extensive than your trailer park liberal queer mind. I’m pretty sure you three are tied to the obama payed bloggers, bunch of ingnorant cry-babies, attacking everybody with different views, you also must work for abc. Which means when you read others post, you don’t even hear what they are saying, just checking peoples grammer, for what? This is a blog you Idiot. Does that make you feel smarter than someone else, you probaly don’t even know how to run an air-conditioner.

Judge, yes they fear a woman president, but the reason is because they really fear a Republican female president because they are liberal. They are mad because It’s not an liberal woman president first. Why do you think hillary was’nt elected, she was not liberal enough because of her stance on the Iraq war. Hillary is only liberal on women’s and minority issue’s while being moderate on the rest. The liberal’s thought she was to conservative on military issue’s. The liberal left are a bunch of cry-baby hypocrites that only seek power over people, so they can impose their values on people. They hate christians and think they impose to much of their values by which, this is their way of revenge. They ripped Hillary apart, which should show that they are the ones who are racist bigots, thinking if you don’t vote for Obama, your racist, when in fact liberals are racist, sexist, anti-christian, and lying hypocrites!

I know quite a few Blacks who are not for Obama. They mostly work for s living like I do and want to keep what they earn. They don’t want it given to someone who sits on their bottoms 24-7. How is someone with a 100% white mother and a father who is 10% African and 40% Arab a Black American? He can’t even be honest about his ethnic background. I wish everyone who is pontificating about the current financial situation would go back to the beginnings of Fannie, Freddie, and the Community Reinvestment Act and see who in the last 50 years has been responsible for these little gems and what they turned into…There is enough blame to go around for R’s and D’s but the Democrats are up to their necks–Thank you, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Christopher Dodd and Barnie Frank should resign in shame…just to mention a few.

The facts are:
The hosptial that his dear sweet wife Michelle works at has the highest mark up rate on hospital bills (3 and half times national average), poor, black ppl die without health insurance but caring Michelle took a raise from $100,000 to $300,000 then good old Barack sent a million from the good old tax payer to the hospital. The man is corrupt, corrupt and corrupt. Get real, he doesn’t care about anyone except his celeb friends giving him money and your vote. Go ahead schmucks you’ll see — another corrupt politician from the Chicago machine. You better get in line for anything you want, b/c he owes too many ppl before he does anything for America.

The Democrats create more and greater catastrophes than any other political party in the history of the world. The worst act of terror in history of the world was created by Democrat Harry S. Truman. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused a horror that was not necessary. Democrat Harry S. Truman had the option of selecting strategic targets that were more humanitarian. Democrat Harry S. Truman used the excuse for dropping the atomic bomb as necessary to save lives. That is not a true statement because other targets that were more strategic would have not effected the civilian population with horrific destruction.
Now there is a worldwide financial catastrophe caused by the total failure of the Democrats in Congress with Democrat Senator Barack Obama refusing to acknowledge that any financial and economic problem existed in 2005. Financial people of Asia and Europe point a knowing finger at the failures of the Democrats and Barack Obama. The financial world knows the Democrats lie and use deception about the financial crisis.
Now Barack Obama says he can fix the problem created by the Democrats and his inept actions in the Senate. The financial people of the world do not trust the Democrats and Barack Obama. Americans finally understands who the real culprit is that caused this worldwide financial and economic crisis The Democrats in Congress and Senator Barack Obama are to blame.
American Independent Voters for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
