Obama Shrugs Off GOP Convention Attacks: ‘I’ve Been Called Worse Names on the Basketball Court’

Oh yes, when the Republicans say things they are “attacking” him. When he says things about others than he is not attacking them? The double standards just keep continuing on and on and on. He’s a joke!

Ashely Biden, son of Joe, was just arrested for obstructing an officer? Will the media be fair and balanced and report on this with the zeal and venom they reported on Palin’s daughter or husband? And will Joe’s son, attorney general, try to use his abuse of power to fix this? Come on MSM, please do the right thing.

Obama has raised $8M so far since last night’s speech.
Thanks Palin!

Why is the press still following Obama around? Haven’t they heard – he’s soooo yesterday’s news.

Samantha, here’s an idea: David Axelrod is Obama’s puppetmaster and Hazel Johnson did the bulk of the asbestos work, so let’s get rid of Obama/Biden and launch an Axelrod/Johnson ticket. We’ll get the authentic smooth talker and community organizor!

Obama: community organizer, civil rights lawyer, Constitutional law professor, state Senator, US Senator.
McCain: Noun Verb POW

Palin believes our soldiers are in Iraq doing “God’s will” – is that the same reason the Taliban & Al’Queida fight as well? What makes us better?
Palin believes against abortion even in extreme cases like rape and incest.
That is enough for me to make my choice, going the other direction by far.
GEESH!

On the community organizer criticism: “They [Republicans] haven’t talked about the fact that I was a civil rights lawyer; they haven’t talked about the fact that I taught constitutional law; they haven’t talked about my work in the state legislature, in the United States Senate,” he said. “They’re talking about the three years of work that I did right out of college as if that’s– I’m making the leap from two or three years out of college into the presidency.”
Obama added though that his work as a community organizer was relevant to who he is and the kind of people he’s “fighting for.”
“Why would that kind of work be ridiculous?” Obama said. “Who are they fighting for? What are they advocating for? They think that the lives of those folks who are struggling each and every day, that working with them to try to improve their lives is somehow not relevant to the presidency? I think maybe that’s the problem — that’s part of why they’re out of touch and they don’t get it ’cause they haven’t spent much time working on behalf of those folks.”

As if his campaign was not negative at the convention…”this is what they do…” No, that is how campaigns are run on both sides.
He only implied that you were insane if you voted for McCain.

The Alaska Post or something said the Dems and Reps love her in Alaska. On C SPAN, a caller (Dem) said Sarah listens to the people. The reason she abandoned the bridge she was for, was because the people asked her to; so she did. Hmmmm. Sounds good so far. I’m still tuned, but not to BO’s scoops that have proven to be weak so far.

Barack Hussien Obama is a joke!

Ok. I don’t like Obama, regardless of how many NO VOTES he had on very important issues that would display clearly where he stood. I don’t care that he is vague for political reasons.

And none of the troopers so called emails can be traced or proven to be Palin’s. Nothing he has accused her of can be proven, except that he threatened to kill her dad.

How can anyone in their right mind vote for these Rebublican clowns? Their convention is an affront to the intelligence of the American people. No style and no substance, just bitter divisiveness and grandstanding …

Obama goes to the Middle East and plays basketball…
Obama contrasts GOP descriptions of him with names he has been called on a basketball court…
Obama responds to sexism charges as working the refs…
Sounds like he is trying out for a basketball team…
But, he probably has more experience on the basketball court…
Anybody But Obama…

If BO runs the country the way he ran his campaign, some country in the world who has more clout than they really know, will be at war with us at some point for his alienation and insults toward them.

Just stop it. We are better than this! You may not agree with Obama – and that is your right – but he has been out there, talking to people, telling people what he think and wants to do and letting us judge him. He deserved our respect for giving us a fair opportunity to make an informed decision.
Make up your minds in whatever way makes the most sens to you and then give other people the dignity of respecting their decisions – even if they are not the same as yours.
This election is about our future. Our country. Our children. The name-calling, taunting, sarcastic, high school behavior is embarassing.
Hope not hate.

Hilarious: Obama supporter; “Stop it, we are better than this,” then proceeds to tell everyone who doesn’t support BO off. Oh yeah, you’re better.

latest CBS poll 42-42, last week Obama up by 8
Hey Obama and the detroit mayor riding in a car, who’s driving?————————–the police, another democrat goes to jail lmao

Change their strategy and START attacking the Republicans? They HAVE been attacking the Republicans by the far left media Elitists have a tendency to ignore that. Media Elites want one of their own in office…fortunately, the American people are insulted by this type of transparent manipulation and we WILL express our discontent for them and Big Government, SUPER LIBERAL Obama come November 4.

Bush 2000: “He is a man of integrity and sound judgment who has proven that public service is noble service. This man is daring and decent and ready for CHANGE”
Obama of 2008 sounds like Bush 2000. Like I said Obama is more like Bush than anyone else.

“Hilarious: Obama supporter; “Stop it, “we are better than this,” then proceeds to tell everyone who doesn’t support BO off.”
She said no such thing.

Well there were a number of lies and since FACTS don’t get in the way for a Repubs speech being good or not . There were many falsehoods but one of the worst was when talking about fighting Washington insider politics and esp. the bridge to nowhere well McCain’s campaign is staffed by some 75 % lobbyist esp. those at the top of his campaign. Oh and the money for the bridge to nowhere Alaska got it they just didn’t build the bridge they built all the roads going up to where it will begin and as gov. she did a speech to help get this money and said Washington thinks your nowhere well I don’t and she hired lobby firms to lobby for the money. But she’s an outsider YEAH RIGHT and Rush Limbaugh is a Liberal !!! and it was a Canadian firm she gave the contract to, to build this gas pipeline but their slogan is country first then find an American co. to do the pipeline and saying we need to use American resources the drill here drill now mindset well we used our best resource our brave men and women to fight in Iraq and the Bush admin lets China walk in and get contracts that American firms should have got to develop oil fields in IRAQ fields that will produce and low estimate of 125,000 barrels of oil a week within 3 yrs maybe sooner but BUSH/ McCain and the rest let CHINA our biggest worry for our country out there come in after OUR men and women clear the way with their blood and lives and TAKE a contract to get the oil out of IRAQ right under our noses and our men and women will probably be the ones protecting China’s people in the fields and their equipment and the oil being shipped out and their tankers in the straights with our navy !!! yeah that’s the Kind of leadership we need one last thing She also said that it is their responsibility to leave the country better then it was when they took office !! REALLY well then are your better off NOW then when Bush, who McCain voted with 90% of the time are you better of NOW then when W took over and was rubber stamped by McCain and the rest of the GOP for 7 yrs ? Whats funny too is I did not hear her brag about wanting to ban books at the library in the town she was mayor and when the librarian didn’t she fired her or wanting to teach Creationism in public schools hell the list goes on and NOW her church shut down its website what are they hiding what has she said there what could be worse then what has already come out of there the tape of her saying
“We are doing GODS work in Iraq” and ” We are following GODS PLAN in Iraq ” they take down her soon to be son lin laws My space and twitter page what is so scary there ?

See republicans in here don’t have any idea what their ticket has to offer ethier. So they just attack people that support Obama and democrats.. But hey vote republican if you want more of the same.
Good job Barack don’t stoop to the level these scum bags want you at.

Irma, vote however you want.
No one is bullying you to vote for Obama. It kills me that some of Hillary supporters blame Obama for every single thing that went wrong in her campaign.
It was her campaign, and she started off slow. It happens get over it.
People like you make it seem as if she was perfect, she made plenty of mistakes and instead of you holding her accountable for her slow start. You blame and hate him. He had nothing to do with how the media treated her. Blame the media, hey stop watching the news and visiting sites such as this one.
It was not Obama’s responsibility to defend Hillary on the way she was treated by the media. It was her’s since she decided to run for office. She put herself in that situation. I didnt see her defending Obama when they attack Michelle. or when the Reverend Wright snippets were shown over and over, and over again.
Remember this isnt about him. This is about good hardworking americans who have suffered 8 years under Bush and the Republicans. This is about the future of our children. This is about ending a war that Obama told us was a mistake from the get go, and trying to prevent us from getting into another war.

The problem for the republicans after tonight will be:
“How do we get rid of McCain”

Hillary is on Obama’s side. People that still try to say she isn’t are republicans trying to stir stuff up. NOw they are trying to say the democrates run the media and all this sexist crap….. A strong woman would put her nose to the grind get to work and over come it! Not sit there and complain about it!

Obama campaign has raised over $8 million in less than 24 hours.
Talk about a jolt.
Barack….we gotchoo!

mcCain finally agrees that the 16 month timeline (that Obama has been promoting and the Bush admin and Iraqi gov’t want) is good idea
McCain flip flops….ahahahhaha.
Or course he also was wrong about going to war with Iraq in the first place.
John McCain – he sometimes gets it right the second time.

Willi O sorry to disappoint, I am one of the DEMS your uniter pushed aside.

oh my word, now Mcpanderer is meeting withrepublicans!
No, McSames campaign manager is right, this election won’t be decided on the issues.
It will be decided on republican lies, distortions, and hypocrisy.

irma, you have the right vote for whomever you choose. And no one is ganging up on you.
Is that what you want?

Irma,
By all means stamp your feet and hold your breathe about how awfully you were treated by Obama supporters just because you’re a clinton supporter.
Then go out and vote for someone who is everything Hillary is fighting against.
Yeah ok…..

Poor Poor Irma. Your pathetic. There were times in the campaign that Hillary did come across as whiney,there were also times that she told flat out lies. There was a time that she cried before the election. There were plenty of times that she used the sex card to her advantage. But you dont see any of that. No not you. All you see is how people treated Clinton.
Obama didnt need to throw race into the campaign. It was already there. I mean this great country was built on the backs of slaves and there free labor
A black man running for POTUS playing the race card doesnt really get him much sympathy from white voters. Remember the majority of you tell blacks to get over slavery. Let it go, It was in the past. Yet we dont feel the need to apoligize about it. Like every other major country who owned slaves have.
And remember despite what Bill says, he was the one that injected race into this campaign. I’m sure he didnt mean to, But he did.
Again vote how you choose,your just hurting yourself, and your family, and dogs and cats.

Ryan, you want to talk about me. Okay, that’s my FAVORITE SUBJECT. I will vote GREEN or any other Liberal party not the one that is SEXIST to win. Thanks for your concern and support on my right to vote.

Something to think about,
you are accually voting for her
as president of the United states.
If you feel good about this,go
for it.

$300.000!
She looked like a UK Crossing Guard in that dress! I thought it was a tribute to community service but it was actually a designer dress?
Sjeeeez.

Listen to all the Obama support love coming my way. Woweee.

GEE, you are all so good at trying to scare away opposition.

What word Roxanne?

Man these polls dont mean jack squat. they dont even poll African americans or young voters.
And we will come out on November 4th in full force to support Obama. Why cause the Republicans dont give a darn about our vote. We have registered to vote in numbers never seen by either party, and speaking of polls, since they carry so much weight. I just saw one that said the independent voters, ya know the ones who once considered McCain such a great man, were really turned off at the tactics used aganist Obama in these last two days of the convention.
You see, they realize that this is not the high school prom were you vote based on popularity, They are more concerned about the issues. And the Republicans dont care to talk about those.

we just registered over 300 new dems this past weekend

What’s with all the basketball references today? Did Obama think he was in Indiana?

oh boy, McSame is teaching her well…Sarah Paliar is now attacking “Obama-Biden Democrats” for attacking her and her family, even after she was informed of Obama’s statement that her family and children are off limits.
Oh yeah, this is gonna get reallll interesting.

Move over perpetrator PALIN, Hillary is back on Monday to show you where real women in America stand, and what real women in America are feeling.

The truth is that Team Obama was geared up to trash Pawlenty and got flat footed with the Palin nomination without talking points.
Then, after (prematurely) calling Palin a “Dan Quale with an up-do” and predicting that Palin would be thrown overboard after the RNC realized McCain’s “blunder”, and that she would fall flat on her face, Obama’s miscalculation (or McCain’s luck) became evident last night.
A normally nimble Obama campaign took a knife to a gunfight and got hit, no run over, by a Mack Truck now known as Sarah Palin.
The spin that Obama predicted these hits from an “unqualified” neophyte “girl” is BS–because no one did—especially Team Obama.
Let’s face it, part of the impact of Palin’s speech flowed from Team Obama lowering the bar for Palin to about 2” off the floor—that and a damn effective speech.

Obama just got beat by a girl…
Sally J.
——————-
Are you still in high school. The time is too serious to respond to high school taunts.

“except that he threatened to kill her dad”
That whole incident is extremely extremely fishy.
Imagine yourself in her situation. She overheard on a speakerphone Wooten arguing with her sister and threatening to kill their father. She drove to her sister’s house and watched the argument through a window. She hears Wooten shout, ‘I will kill him. He’ll eat a [expletive] lead bullet, I’ll shoot him’. Palin is still outside, she hears this death threat. She knows Wooten has a Trooper gun on his hip and she tells later he was extremely threatening.
What does Sarah Palin do? Call 911? Get one of her gun and charges inside the house to rescue the entire family (Sarah’s son Track, sister Molly and her children) from this unfolding drama?
No.
She goes to a meeting.
And writes an email 6 months after the alleged event.
Anybody who is willing to believe this story seriously needs his or her head examined.

Ryan C:
His base is not fired up…..
They’re scared……………
They know Obama opted out of public financing, and McCain has a big pile of $$$ coming in soon now that he’s been nominated…………………….
So they only way they’ll keep their golden boy in the running is by coughing up more money……………

The critical plls are these:
The Electoral battleground (toss-up) state match up shows how close this race really is:
(RCP Average of all polls) McCain vs. Obama (battleground states)
Nevada (5): McCain +1.0
Colorado (9): Obama +0.4
New Mexico (5): Obama +4.3
Michigan (17): Obama +4.3
Ohio: McCain (20) +1.2
Virginia (13): Tie
North Carolina (15): McCain +4.2
New Hampshire: Obama (4) +0.3
Florida (27): McCain +3.1
TOTAL TOSSUP STATE DELEGATES: 115
McCain: 67
Obama: 35
Tied: 13
Without toss-up states:
Barack Obama 273 John McCain 265
Expect further tightening of the race after to polls reflect last night.

Lance – Sarah attended 3 colleges, not 5 or 6. She attended Hawaii Pacific for 1 semester in 1982. Transferred in 1983 to N Idaho Colllege. In ’87, she received her degree from the University of Idaho.

Amy Holmes just told us what will be McCain’s entire speech.
Drill, drill, drill.

You missed 1 Peach
From North Idaho College, Palin transferred 70 miles south to the University of Idaho, the state’s flagship institution. She majored in journalism with an emphasis in broadcast news. She attended Idaho, whose mascot is the Vandals, from fall 1984 to spring 1985.
She then returned to Alaska to attend Matanuska-Susitna College in Palmer in fall 1985.
Then she returned to Idaho, for spring 1986, fall 1986 and spring 1987, when she graduated.

According to the latest polls
Nevada: Obama +5
Colorado: McCain +1
New Mexico: Obama +13
Michigan: Obama +2
Ohio: Obama +2
Virginia: Obama +2
North Carolina: McCain +3
NH: Obama +1
Florida: Obama +1
7/9 states Bush won in 2004
AND
7/9 states Obama’s leading in 2008

Temagami got it right. The number of colleges issue is an excellent example of the left is DESPERATE for anything negative Re. Gov, Palin. NOT EXACTLY PROFOUND STUFF!!

hmmm…even on the baskball court his not liked??

i am so sick of these christian conservatives telling me what i should do or what is evil. what about the war in iraq or the poor in this country and the entire world? what about the environment? all i hear is abortion and sex and the rapture. maybe if these christians would get raptured this country could start solving poverty, healthcare and maybe we could finally have world peace. maybe i should pray on it.

–Samatha–Boy have you been fooled again by the GREAT LIAR. He did not remove it. He told someone else to do it. He did not get his hands dirty.

What “names” exactly was Obama called?
“community organizer”?
can OBAMA name one???????????
