Obama Scraps SNL Appearance Due to Ike

In running the sleaziest campaign since South Carolina in 2000 and standing by completely debunked lies on national television, it’s clear that John McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose an election.

Baloney!
After the “lipstick on a pig” joke, all Obama needs is another gaffe. He is down in the polls, and it turns out that most of the undecided voters are not interested in his comedic abilities.
The annoying part is that this press release indicate that the Obama campaign still treats the public as a bunch of fools. Don’t feed us trash!

This canceling makes Obama looks fake.

Call him what you want, but his website now asks for donations for the victims of Ike rather than just his campaign.

Tracy Lynn says “he was tortured as a POW make it hard for him to type on a keyboard,”

This is one McCain’s POW status can’t get him out of. People with far more severe disabilities use computers and e-mail everyday through advanced technology, voice recognition, etc. Your post just proves the point of how antiquated and unimaginative he (and you) are.

Paige,
Clearly you are as hateful as Obama. You think it is okay to make fun of a POW for their disabilities.
Obama is sick!

Barack can’t win for losing. If he goes on SNL, critics would say he is insensitive to Texan. If he doesn’t, ‘he is phony”. Give him a breAk, and don’t try to assign motives.
Of the two campaigns, Barack appears to br the more honorable one. His ads are true. And to say that McCain cannot type, is real buffalo chips. He constantly points his finger, a motion that he used to type.

Sunlen Miller:
Are you related to the former ABC reporter John Miller who now works for the FBI?
If so, can you please ask him why he reported a truck full of explosives on the George Washington Bridge on the night of 9/11 to Peter Jennings but never mentioned it again?

BillForObama,
I’m racist because I’m not voting for Obama?
I’m not voting for Obama because he is sick to make for of a POW with a disability. Obama is not taking the highroad, he is taking the sleaziest, dirtiest road there is. But he will tell you over and over again that he is taking the high road. People like you will believe anything that he says.

Osama is afraid of tough question. He quits again!!!

EXCELLENT DECISION BARACK !!!!
McCain and the repubs were just WAITING to come out with an ad saying how Obama was “laughing it up” on SNL while people were suffering through the “monster” storm.
These republican clowns are DESPERATE.
Desperate to smear but not desperate to talk about this economy or education.

@Ed from MA
so canceling an appearence on SNL = caring about Americans in trouble?
nevermind McCain delayed even showing up to the RNC cause of the last hurricane or anything.
Obama insults me with his naviete and demeanor.
Saying a POLITICIAN is not trustworthy is incredulous.

I can not believe how many uneducated people know the computer. It just proves knowing the computer does not mean you have any common sense or scruples. McCain has not been tainted or mislead by the computer entertainment. Just first hand facts.

The responses to the SNL articles are so hilarious I just had to reply. Are you kidding me, you all actually think Obama was being sincere when he said if there’s anything I can do, just ask, and you can use my website too for Ike victims? LOL Still thinks he’s a superhero or God of some sort.
It’s one hurricane, one, and it takes up his entire attention span to “take a break from the campaign to follow the weather.” Just the tip of the iceberg if you think he’s ready to sit in the WH. “Disasters” happen a hundred times a day and we need a leader who will manage, delegate, deliver and stay focused in the face of disaster not because he “cares” (See: ‘Seeking Political Gain, Act Like You Care’ from the Dem Dictionary of Doublespeak) but because it’s his job and sworn duty to defend America from any threat, natural or manmade.

As a teacher of some 27 years, McCain’s ads attacking Obama on his education legislation tell me all I need to know. Rather than tell the truth, McCain’s ads state that Obama’s supported legislation for mandatory sex ed for Kindergarten children when, in fact, it was all about helping young children understand inappropriate touching and how to get help. McCain puts personal political gain before the safety of our youngest, most vulnerable children from predatory pedophiles. Disgusting. Inexcusable. It shows the total lack of moral decency I would want from a president and anyone who would excuse such lies for party is no better than the pedophiles McCain enables with such lies.

MsKay …….Every four years you Libs always go back to your precious little play book…..the economy ….. more money for education……blah blah blah……. We have poured 40% more money into education on Bush’s watch and it still isn’t enough. Yet look at the poor academic results in this country especially when compared to the other major industrialized nations of the world. Your partners in crime….the teacher’s unions along with the humanist approach being taken today prove my point. You are all hot air with no real idea how to change anything.

The fact is that Obama has not done anything for Americans before or since becoming the candidate. He has not change anything, except that he’s more popular than he was. He promised campaign finance reform, but once he realizes that he can reel in 50 millions per month, he said hell with reform. And on every single issue, personal or professional, from Wright to Rezko, from Iraq to Iran, from NAFTA to FISA, from oil drilling to negative compaigning, he flip flop like a hungry Artic seal. He never did anything significant for America, unless you say that he is America.

Judy…..Stop the Drama
You really think that Fox is Fair and Balanced. I have some property in most Southern part of Louisiana for sell.
Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that Fox is in the tank for the McPalin or shall I say Palin/McSame ticket.

Will Hirsch …..
You must be one of the bad teachers that are protected by teachers unions that McCain recently talked about. You have obviously been totally indoctinated into the mind numb Liberal mantra and it is appalling that you are teaching young minds of any age. For God’s sake, get out of education. You are part of the demise of what used to be academic excellence in this nation. Get out of the classroom and away from our children. They deserve better than your ilk…….

Mike,
Your solution sounds great…..insulting teachers.

Would have been a perfect spot for a community organizer to “organize” and ask for donations.
He should have not performed his “skits’, but, taken that time to promote relief aid, and ask for donations.
If he didn’t “yuck it up” but, used his time asking for doantions, McCain couldn’t have made ads about that.
Truly pathetic move by Obama.
I guess we know why he used to go the listen to Pastor Wright
GOD DAMN AMERICA

Tanya ……. You might want to stop drinking the
kool-aid. It is frightening to think that people like you with no ability to approach anything without biase, could actually show up at the voting booth. Uninformed hacks like you remind us all why abortion was originally enacted. If you think ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN approach the news fairly and without biase……then you need to seek out immediate help. Stop being ignorant ……

Darn. I was looking forward to him making an A$$ out of himself again, especially if any of the skits would have included Palin. Watch the poll numbers for Obammie go down, down, down – right where they belong!

Know this may sound flip, but really getting to the point to where this old lady really does not care what Obama does or doesn’t do. He is by far, the most over exposed empty suit that has come our way in years!! Democrats really blew it when they dumped Hillary, and they will pay in November! It IS A PROTEST VOTE, but here is at least one for McCain!

Have any of you ever been to Obama’s Chicago district? I have to tell you if you have you would never vote for Obama. He has done nothing while he has been in office. He preaches change but it is all talk in order to get into office.
Obama is terrifying!
Don’t make America a 3rd world county. Vote Palin/McCain

Hey Deane, that’s it? That’s your debate platform? Says alot. Did you mean to post those rebuttals on US Weekly site? LOL!
Hey, when Todd was getting his DUI (before he even met Sarah), you got any links about Obammie snortin’ dope about the same time? Least Todd was using something legal for his high.

not in the least.
you keep proclaiming “LIES! LIES! LIES!”
but have yet to produce anything significant to change my idea.
Obama has PROVEN that he will play to different states at the expense of others as was SHOWN when he insulted one state after praising them while he was in town.
Yeah, REAL trustworthy there

Heh, I would wager to bet most of you yokels get your “news” from talk radio. Nothing to read here folks…the commneters here..oh boy…THIS is why India and China, potentially Russia, will emerge as the new world powers. Because you Americans, in your fears of “elitism” and “uppittyness” don’t bother to really educate yourselves, and cloak your ignorance in the warm embrace of religion and backwards dogma (almost sounds like…islamist fundamentalism, no?)
Meanwhile China continues to progress, India exports more and more brain talent every day (ever notice how many scientists and teacher’s assistants in universities are Indian-born?), and Russia sits back and chortles at the idiots we plan to vote into office come November, who are already putting them on notice for “economic sanctions or PEHRAPS war”.
This country (if one trusts polls) basically wants to pit the 2-year governor of Alaska versus Putin, former KGB enforcer, corrupt leader of one of the big oil-rich countries in the world? But of course! Who needs “elitists”? Hockey moms all the way!
When all you good conservative folks find yourselves stuck with explosive oil/consumer prices (because of that pesky war with Russia, in addition to Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) and THEN find that you cannot leave this country “for a better life” because all those SCARY elitist liberal amoral intellectuals have already left the sinking ship and no other country really wants non-elistis anyway, especially not FRANCE, well at least you’ll FINALLY be rid of liberalism in America! Then you can FINALLY shut down those crazy science labs with the stem cells, the death squad OB GYN clinics with the abortionists, burn those damn liberal books, shut down any media that dares to question the conservativism virtue, close the border down nice and tight (let’s build a wall!) and then America will be free at last!
If the last 8 years have taught me anything, you get what you vote for.

Hey, I would wager most of you yokels get your news from talk radio . . . .
Judging from the entries, I would say myself that they’re coming from a low information group who get their news from the shock jocks. And it’s really ironic how the McCain/Palin so-called populism appeals could backfire through election on the very people it targets.

damnyouyankees:
Here I am. Since you libs (all the way DOWN to Susan Sarandon) are talking about Jesus and citing scripture, here’s one for ya: “Do not throw your pearls to the pigs”. That’s what would happen if I used a cell in my brain to answer your idiotic post.

Kat……
Where exactly do you get your news from? The mainstream media is dying quickly in this country… they are being exposed finally for who they really are. News in this country used to be based on factual, verifiable information…… but no longer. No wonder ABC, CBS, NBC, New York Times and so many other old news establishments are shrinking before our very eyes. It is good to know that they still have some of the same non-thinking crowd like you that act like sheep being led to slaughter …

Mike – in respect to Ike. I’ve been getting my news from people who are enduring the brunt of it. You have the reflexes typical of the McCain campaign – a knee jerk spasm that can’t kick on target.

How soon we forget the inspirational man Obama used for 20 years.

Mr. Obama I find it very offensive that in this time of need. During this tragic time of Ike and train collisions, loss of lives you find it necessary to impugn Mc Cain’s reputation and character saying he is out of touch. I feel that at this time you need to control you immaturity and think of the “Country First” like Mc Cain does. You deeply sadden me.

A McCain spokesman, Brian Rogers, said the campaign had evidence for all its claims. “We stand fully by everything that’s in our ads,” Mr. Rogers said, “and everything that we’ve been saying we provide detailed backup for — everything. And if you and the Obama campaign want to disagree, that’s your call.”
To the Republicans “Facts” are a “Call”.
That’s the very reason Bush is now a four letter word to them.
Same as it ever was.

Dear Ms kay…
My husband and I just retired from education , with 35 in the inner city and 30 in rural schools, respectively. SO I think we can speak from experience as well as you.
We did not think that No CHild Left Behind from Bush was working, but at least he paid attention to education.
It is not the money that matters in the schools anyway. It’s the poor attitude toward the worth of an education, a lack of respect for themselves and others, and the disintegration of American family life that have dragged down the education in this country.
WE ARE VOTING MCCAIN/PALIN because we feel that being morally respectable is McCain’s strong point.
We listened to both conventions and found Obama to be a more persuasive candidate, but how do we know he can do all he says without a track record of any significance?
We trust a man who endured more than any of us would have for the right to be an American. Mabye it’s time we earned our rights instead of taking them from others.
One of my husband’s students said that ‘white men have too much land…why don’t they give us some of it?” Give is the word they use, not earn.
It’s time for leadership that cuts waste and stands up for America.
I’m sure the Muslims would celebrate if we went for Obama instead of a war hero…they already think we are full of hot air.
And for those still hell bent on voting for Obama…you have that right.

Lavinia from Virginia…
From Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslim’s should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’
(Obama)
My ideas come from the candidate himself. Perhaps you would like to call him an “ignorant racist”?

What an amazing impersonation – and an great affirmation of Fey’s brilliance as an actor (from capturing Palin’s high-pitched squeak to the nuance of her body language) — and hopefully effective enough to generate enough buzz with which to galvanize an apparently lazy symbolic-preferring electorate into taking a closer look at this (Times vetted; forensic if you will evidence)of the weak and vindictive Palin record.
With some major media pieces today finally chronicalling the real Palin (stripped of symbolism and hype) and using concrete records and those stubborn factual realities, we will indeed soon discover that this fur-fleeced empress never did have any clothes.
And that one can’t fuse small town politics often rife with nepotism and retribution (and certainly in this case and in spite of the pending and cumulative expected efforts from any number of GOP handlers, their spiteful, subliminal wordsmiths and sad, vitriolic pundits) in the days to follow and expect it to hold up against the national glare.
Enjoy the (weak-levveed, if you will) mania Palin stepfords and fans, – as the spector of the original lack of vetting (even if said vetting was really nothing more than just shallow scratch and sniff playing second fiddle to the more pressing need to galvanize and shock a lethargic base into some financial committment) — will now reveal and surrender to the gravitas of facts and realities from which records can’t hide, regardless of how much homey spin you may try to wrap it in.
These GOP speeches to rabid consituents and McCain’s (sad) tenancious, hand wringing, uncomfortable looking desperation and cling to me Sarah! rallies will soon yeild some harsh realities as he will have tweak or trash his mantra of a life-time of “straight talk” and instead surrender to posturing, mud-slinging mistruths, half-truths and contextual twisting.
So that actually means he as well is an now emperor with no clothes.
Kinda sad what a man will in defference to his ego (winning the white house at any cost) – including abandoning all shreds of his reputation of “maverick”
and disengenuously trying to co-opt the Blue Ticket mantra.
What irrationally goes up, must rationally come down.
Though on this last point it would have regardless of the growing seepage of evidence of Palin’s “governance staffing by year book” and mayor by absentee.
80% approval rating? Or would it be more apt to say 60% fear rating of being branded one of Palin’s haters if you don’t approve and word leaks out? Sounds like if you like your job, you like your Sarah – or else.
Tina Fey rocks. A true thesbian – a great, aware artist!!
