Stephanopoulos: Obama: Government Intervention ‘Necessary’ For Fannie, Freddie

Obama went to college to figure that one out.

Stephanopoulos is so much in the tank for Obama you would think he has a gay love attraction to him.

Barack Obama has requested the equivalent of one million dollars in new pork barrel spending for every working day he’s been in the U.S Senate

hemmy, With comments like that you must be from somewhere like Alaska.

Look at the way both Obama and Stephanopoulos are crossing their legs like fairy’s.
Stephanopoulos is going to have a heart attack when Obama loses

I fell asleep with a hard on thinking how great Obama is

I also love Obama so much. He is such a sexy dark skinned native

Its a shame Obama is going to lose to Annie Oakley

It funny how someone copied my screen name and is trying to impersonate me – BUT if you are going to use my screenname who ever you are please realize that it’s kinda difficult to get a “hard on” if you’re a female…

Now that’s a President I can trust!! A president that understands the complex issues involved with our institutions and how to make them better for the regular person and better for the country. Obama/Biden 4 ever!!

I am a HE/SHE dress as a female but carry a big sausage in my pants

Karen complex issues are you kidding me the government had already announced it was taking them over.
Karen you can’t be for real complex issues.

James they are all Obama trolls. Probably BLACK or College punks maybe paid that have no idea how stupid Obama really is and why Stephanopoulos did not question the fact that the Government and McCain suggested the very same thing months ago.

to good – please keep telling yourself that so you can sleep peacefully at night because you know for a fact your worst nightmare will all come true on November 4th – but just stay calm… breathe… everything will be all right and Obama will have 0 votes from whites on Nov 4th. yes… just keep on telling yourself that and breatheeee…

I have a fish that i shoved up my anal cavity because i like the way it feels when it squirms.

Obama accetpted a tainted house purchase from a sleeze like Rezko

Housing went under because of greed and stupidity of both the companies and the home buyers. Let the market place work itself out……….and pete’s sake stop giving loans to illegals and to subprime people who don’t pay their bills.

Good ideas on the economic issues Obama. Hopefully with your lead congress can do something to help Americans. I like what I am hearing.

Obama, as always, flip flops all over the place. He says less government is what America needs, now he says he will depend on government. You NEVER know how this guy will pander in order to get peoples votes! He is such a liar….America is not buying it anymore! Right now, Obama continues to fall in the polls:
Gallup: McCain 45%
Obama 47%
McCain/Palin 08!
“Country First!”

It’s not the LOOKING presidential that Obama has trouble with, its the Acting and Actually Being Presidential that is.
Obama has no trouble making a fake presidential seal and writing president on his big boy chair on his airplane, but it doesn’t make him presidential. Real Presidential people don’t do such goofy silly things.

What a nieve comment….as long as shareholders don’t benefit…..does he realize that I’m in the middle class and many of my mutual funds own Fannie and Freddie….so he’s nieve if he thinks shareholders = Warren Buffet!!!!

Obama is the man for the job and with God he will.

Right James, how many lawyers do YOU know that have no business/economic experience??
That was just STUPID to say. Typical McCain/Palin voter.

McSame missed the boat alright, if he could have flown a plain true, maybe he wouldn’t have been such a friend to the enemy in the 60′s, Oh! Messed up prisoner. Makes you wonder what he had to tell them to keep his life, maybe he talked, prisoner or trader? He sold me out to AIG insurance Co in Phoenix AZ. Maybe you McSame voter’s will have better luck, I really doubt it though. McSame is a looser. My Opinion McSame, don’t cry.

Another bailout on the tax payer’s backs. Great.
Rant3000,there must be a rule on this forum about your crudeness, but I could be wrong since it’s a liberal slanted news blog and if it is, then that sort of talk is probably ok and also indicative of where your brain is (in your pants with your sausage).

One of the reasons we’re in trouble with the mortgage market is that congress looked the other way at what was going on. Obama and others got sweetheart deals from the very companies that were corrupting the system.
Obama — part of the cause, not part of the solution!

Never saw a black man yet that didn’t like a big over grown Fannie.

I think Democrats should not be afraid to attack. This woman is scary. We don’t need a pit bull as VP. This woman is known for firing those who don’t agree with her. The abuses by the Bush administration will dwarf those by a McCain/Palin administration.

“with God he will”? Obama’s God? The God of Black Liberation Theology where hate is taught AT CHURCH?! Give me a break.

Obama is pandering…he’s just trying to make himself look good. Remember, just a couple of nites ago, he told Bill O’Reilly that the surge worked beyond his wildest dreams. Obama is a fake, it’s evident. He flip flops. He will say and do anything just to try to get votes. Don’t believe him. America is rejecting him now, as is noticed in the polls and the loss in electoral votes. Even the media, it seems, is turning their backs on their “darling”!
McCain/Palin 08!
“Country First!”

McCain’s economic advisor, Phil Gramm, was instrumental in getting many of the oil/gas/energy businesses deregulated. He really helped out his wife who was an Enron executive. But we’re just a bunch of whiners.

.
Bailout Bernanke has been a disaster. The FIRST order of business for President McCain will be to replace him with somebody who is as concerned with the financial health of average American citizens as they are about incompetent CEOs and Wall Street investors.
/

Those of you who think on the basis of this report that Obama has a competitive advantage on ‘seeming Presidential’ or on a ‘command of these issues’ crack me up.
What spewed out of his mouth is Intro to Finance, sophmore level undergrad level…that anyone with any background in this stuff knows.
Common equity holders bear the upside and greatest risk…and they’ll be mostly wiped out under this. Sub debt and preferred were left clean only to prevent the multiplier effect of the catastrophe since those shares are held by other banks.
McCain’s far from perfect, don’t get me wrong…but this mindless acquiescence and adolation to everything that falls out of his mouth…everything he’s rehearsed in front of a mirror before giving…it’s pretty sad.

All my life I’ve fought against walfare, now my own party is giving away trillions in tax dollars to Wall Street and the banks, the very people who ripped off the hard working Americans who paid the taxes. We get raped for years and now Lil Bush is paying them for doing it.

Obama: A part of the problem – not the solution (to anything)

Do a little research on Black Liberation Theology and Reverend Wright, you’ll see why. Obama is nothing but a whitewashed tomb – crooked to the core and all of that will come out soon enough – hopefully BEFORE the election. Time to change the channel folks.

Don’t you republican trolls get tired of telling lies?
DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney issues a statement: “American flags were proudly waved by the 75,000 people who joined Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention. John McCain should applaud that, but instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism. On the same day he agrees to join Barack Obama at Ground Zero on September 11, John McCain attacks the patriotism of Obama supporters who so proudly waved the American flag at our historic event in Denver just days ago.”
Apparently lying is in the republican DNA.

This bailout is a failure of the Democratic Congress. And what is so newsworthy about Obama’s saying it is “necessary” … we wants Government Intervention into everything!!! Big government, big taxes … change in your pocket for retirement!

Another hard hitting interview by George Step on top of us.

Well, of course he wants more government intervention. That’s what his party is all about. Forget letting the market fix their own problems. Jump in there, spend billions of our taxpayer dollars and FIX IT FOR US since we are simply SHEEP waiting to be led to the slaughter!!!!

wait a second.. you mean to tell me barack obama is in favor of “government intervention”??!! no waaaaay!!!! if you vote for him, you better get used to this.

Obama got a sweetheart loan from a company that was instrumental in the mortgage meltdown. He should admit that he is part of the problem. A big part of the problem.

Obama is so arrogant. I hate the way he points his nose upward while he talks down to the very people who support him. I don’t believe he is for anything other than himself. He’s a driven ego-maniac and pathological liar.

.
Fact is, hussein HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE, which is being handled by those in authority to do something.
Nobody should give a frak what his opinion is on this subject – like most subjects.
/

Wasn’t it the democratic led Congress who wanted “fair housing” for all and advanced the “right” of those who had poor credit to own homes? Great. Now we have to foot the bill for welfare AND for them to keep houses they can’t afford.
Hmmm. I have some credit card debt. Can I keep my credit cards, keep spending irresponsibly and have the US taxpayers bail me out when I don’t feel like paying or taking responsiblity for my own life?
As i understand it, FM, FMC are government companies run by private citizens? HOW messed up is that. Now, they’re going to be a conservatorsthe business? The government overseeing this? LOL! The same government who has bankrupted so many of their programs? They want MORE?
Sure, let’s go for it Obama! We’ll give you our health care, our gas/oil business, day care and education for EVERYONE! They have such a great track record.
Gee, all we have to do in turn, is hand over your paycheck to the government.

C’mon republicans, you’re talking points are starting to clash, you can’t have it both ways.

cw…
this is for you too, seeing how your just here to make jokes. how can bailing out freddie and fannie be a good thing?

Obumma will say anything! You can tell he is lying because his lips are moving and his ears are flopping like Dumbo!
Obama…Dumbo the Democrat

you guys should watch jon stewart show on mccain speech compare to bush speech 4 years ago….identical…. i can’t believe it

Obama showed his true patriotism when the threw away all the american flags from his convention. Fortunatly the boy scouts took them to a true patriot, McCain!! Also check out his wife’s boot camp for radicals: http://www.investors.com/editorial/editorialcontent.asp?secid=1501&status=article&id=305420655186700

Obama makes Richard Nixon look like a Saint!!!!

What is this world coming to when people turn their noise up at intelligence?
Have you gotten so use to Bush’s ignorance that now you are threatened when you see someone who is intellectual and experience?
Our problems are too serious to play partisan politics this time. Character assignation doesn’t change the facts and the facts are; McBush has not come up with one original idea of his own. If selecting Palin who character and credentials is suspect) as his running mate is any indication of how he will govern, we are in serious trouble. If you say you love this country and you seriously want our economic, medical and standing around the world to change, the clear choice is Obama and Biden.

i read in the new papaer that palin mother in law like obama and she leaning toward voting for obama. get the fact about gov palin. look up anne kilkenny she will tell you all about gov palin.

ABC has become the tabloid of the news media.

to my fellow white WASP, the nigg**s are coming to tak eover land and our “white House” don’t they hear the name “White House” not Black House or half white house, but “white house”. They are going to enslave us, beat us hung us and turn the tables on us, fight fight and run them out of town…. Now doesn’t that sounds like a bunch of hog wash, because it is, and you will know better if you understand polictics, even if Obama win people he has a cabinet of adviser, he would be impeached faster than how he got elected…. Obama has the better paln of the two for the country, please review it and stick to the issues.

cw…
this is for you too, seeing how your just here to make jokes. how can bailing out freddie and fannie be a good thing?———–To be honest, Im not sure if it would be a good or bad thing. Thats above my pay grade. Just kidding. Im not a finacial expert nor running for president, but what I do know at least Obama is addressing the issue. Where is McCain?

obamamama…
oh, im sure obama will find some sort of clever, inconspicuous way of making it sound like its a good thing. he’ll say something like, “we need to help the middle class” or “we cant have this division between rich and poor anymore”. some kind of crap that the “mindless” will soak up just like they do with all his other marxist ideas. stealing from the rich to give to the poor is wrong. and IM MIDDLE CLASS.

HA! So, give Obama a pass where Rezko is concerned for being stupid. Sure, we’ll let it go. Problem is, the association for someone who is now a convict. You forget Obama got earmarks for Rezko & his slums. The property deal is the tip of the iceberg.
Bill Clinton was right, he (Obama) is a chicago thug.
And I WISH, I WISH, I WISH Obama would pronounce “divisive” with a long i like real Americans do, not the elitist way with a short “i”. That in itself, says a bunch about his tude. He could get away with that “divisive-with-a-short-i” with his tea & cocaine buddies, but get real elsewhere.

cw…
well, simply pu, mccain does not support the bailout. matter of fact, he wants to see fannie mae and freedie mac go away forever. but, while im not his greatest supporter, i will vote for mccain. im just on here trying to point out to the undecided that, while mccain may not be our dream canidate, obama is flat out dangerous. his ideas on goverments role in the american peoples lives is like nothing we have ever seen before. and just because he is a good speaker, he has alot of people fooled. the government needs to keep theie noses out of this and a WHOLE lot more.

No the republicans would rather have Palin or McCain. They like to bend the truth like Bush. Palin listed but never sold a jet on ebay. Someone sold it off ebay for her at a 600k loss. Now McCain is campaining that she sold it on ebay for a profit. The pipeline she bragged about isnt even built nor the plans to build it finalized. It would be years before that happens. The Bridge to Nowhere she supported eveily until she was elected. Cant say much about McCain. There just isnt that much to talk about. Kind of like his negitive ads. Slams Obama all day but never sells himself. Oh yea he was a POW. Thats knew news right?

I am white and i will not vote for a black man and i know my fellow whites will not vote for him too.hahahaha

Palin is a deserted prostitute. mclaim is a big lair. The DNC convention was a child’s play. They are using their old politics of fear mongering to pander the voters. Americans should vote their guts, not their fears because what we should fear is fear itself. McPalaim should get into the real business of talking how to better the economy instead of distorting Obama’s record and character. This election should be about issues, not about who runs more negative attacks

profax..
that being said, why are YOU voting for obama?

No, RANT, you can get one. ACORN Obama.

Yep, the national debt really means nothing.

We are funding the middle east and terrorism due to the pro-war stance of the Bush/McCain administrations. Iraq has an $80 million surplus while the USA goes into deficit. The American dollar is weak which is increasing inflation making our economy sink. Bush/McCain’s stance on free trade is causing more and more jobs to move overseas. Pro-Oil Palin and McCain will continue this trend until America is a 3rd world country. We need an intelligent leader not a good old boy with his Hillary want to be side kick.
Vote Obama/Biden 2008

Is it true the Obama was born outside the US? Is that just a rumor?

sory, that should have said “why are you voting for obama”?

McCain and few of them were crying for years to split Fannie Mae and tried as much to help split but died when the democratic congress took over.

=================================
How about electing the most experienced ticket and who has actually served in office.
NOT spent all his time running for president. He said he was “Present” over a 1,000 times to let folks know that he was there that day.
Hey, Obammy. The surge DID work. Trust me.
Sarah Palin.

Todd Harris, a GOP strategist who is close to the McCain campaign, says Palin won’t be available to the press for about two weeks. His defense? She might make “a mistake.”
Harris is conceding that Palin’s not even ready to be a vice presidential candidate, let alone be president

are you people blind or what
Obama cannot make a stand
He might support some sort of.
That not an answer as usual.

Would would ofcourse be easier for me to tell you why I wont vote for McCain and I did vote for Bush twice. So lets start there. My views have changed. I will not support a party that is against pro choice. My sister was raped two years ago and had that choice. I will not support a canidate that supported Bush on 90 percent of his policies. Yes I know, its a Dem run congress and Im not to happy with them either. I feel like for the last 2 years they have messed with peoples money, hust so those same people would blame the republicans. On the other hand the Rep held congress for 5 of those eight years and the House for 6 years. McCains doent address anything except national security, which is important but not everything. I feel the GOP is power hungry and loves big business, but forgets small business.
I also feel, atleast with bush, that he has been dishonest with American. Border Security, economy-90 percent we create our own, outsourceing jobs, misleading and not listening to the American public, etc… Now for Barack Obama, Resume 1983-1988 Director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes on Chicago’s South Side.1992 Led Chicago’s Project Vote! push. This effort resulted in a record number of voter registrations, over 600,000 in Chicago. 1)Teaching 1993-2004 Visiting Law and Government Fellow, then Senior Lecturer, in Constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School.Law Practice 1993-2002 Worked as an associate attorney with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland.Illinois Senate 1996-2004 Chairman, Health and Human Services Committee, Illinois Senate***United States Senate 2004-present. Member, US Senate Foreign Relations Committee*Chairman, US Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs*Member, US Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions*Member, US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs*Member, US Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. —And I trust him. When he said” Above my paygrade”, to me, he was honest and humble. To admit he is not God and doesnt know that answer is more honest than shooting out one word preconceived, rehearsed answers. He wasnt at that forum to campaine, but to let the people across this nation get to know him. McCain is old scholl politics and cant help from campaining all the time. Also in the same time frame. Obama voted on Vet. affairs twice as many times as McCain, if McCain even showed up. The party that says Obama”The Messiah” brings in a unknow canidate that they worship like she is the savior of the Rep party. Also I am a big animal lover and Palin likes to kill for sport. Ill even throw in the race card and am 50 year old white man. The reason Obama isnt smashing McCain right now after 8 years of Bush is: Most will vote due to core beliefs and along party lines. And yeas race. Sad but true. You asked. Hope i didnt misspell to many words.

It was wrong for Bush and his Goldman-Sachs Treasury Secretary to bail out his old Harvard and country club buddies. It is just as wrong for Obama to do it.
I realize that these banks are all taking a back because they took on mortgages for which people just were not qualified, under pressure from a democrat majority in Congress. It was wrong for them to “go along to get along” and it is even more wrong for the middle class to foot the bill.
These two in particular are quasi-government agencies, protected from competition. Let them go under.

All the Obama fake love from the right wingnuts is pretty funny. Who you think you are fooling?? I bet you are the ugly one with the beautiful friend and secretly hate all people that are liked by others or that do well or that finish school or that go on to graduate school, warning jealous trolls on the loose!!! Talk about empty suits you guys think you disguise yourselves as any continguient that fits your spin. Haha!
Obama the real deal for real people.

One thing for sure with McCain/Palin combination is America will continue with their unfavourable standing in the world.
Obama/Biden though not in office yet have began the rebuilding by all evidence in the world. America will again lead with with respect when Obama/Biden are selected.
God bless America with Obama/Biden

Orezko, NEVER!

i couldn’t care less what obama thinks … he has no experience in this matter … plus he’s just jumping on a bandwagon & try to get some kind of positive spin on this …
NObama ’08

I am a college senior who is so disgusted with all the double standard involved with the “vetting” of candidates. If the liberal media is so concerned about the vetting of Governor Sarah Palin, they should also be concerned about the democratic nominee as well. As someone else said above, I am also scared of this Obama guy. I will be voting for the first time in November and I feel so sad that I do not have a trustworthy democratic presidential candidate to vote for. I really liked Hillary Clinton and I feel that she and her supporters were cheated from securing her nomination.
After eight terrible years of Bush/Cheney, I believe USA deserves a good, patriotic, and experienced president with a solid Christian and American values. Barack Obama (with his muslim middle name) will never be the right man. Obama (not to mention his anti-American angry wife and hateful pastor) has too much garbbage and too many questionable associations that should disqualify him from seeking the highest office of the land. I am so shocked to see the democratic party and its top leaders working hard to secure his nomination. I know they will pay a heavy price on election day in November.
Since Barack Obama has miserably failed to convice me about:
1. his American origin and values
2. his Christian faith
3. his close association with people like Rezko, Ayers, and Rev. Wright
4. his alcohol and drug use
5. his shady dealings in Chicago politics
6. his philosophy about money and politics, etc.
I will never vote for him. I am an independent woman who strongly believes in America and her values and I know my country deserves a much better person for president than the shallow and opportunist Barack Hussein Obama.
I will be voting for the McCain/Palin ticket in Novemeber.

Unfortunately. you fail to understand that if you let those two agencies “go under”, so will the whole mortgage market and many more banks, leading to a real financial melt-down. Then there will be virtually no mortgage money available for people who want to buy homes, and more failed banks means no money for businesses to borrow. Your idea would result in problems as great as those of the late 1920s, leading to the Great Depression.

What’s up with all the makeup Osama is now using? Maybe he should try it in Hollywood instead of Washington; he seems more like them than the rest of us…

Some of the comments on here sure make it cleart that there are a lot of jerks out there who don’t know what they are talking about. And even worse they are vitriolic about their hatreds.

CW, maybe you should stop driving an SUV. Man, the hate that you are spewing is scary. Where do people like you come from.
Posted by: Optimus Prime
There is no hate. Im to old and have lived life to long to hate. That Palin post was sarcism but acually close to the way she believes. I didnt mean to offend. But read the post above. The racism, the name calling, the close minds. The Muslim comments for Collage Seniors on and on. So since I cant reason with republicans I decided post the way they do. I too want who and what is best for this country and believe McCain and his animal killing, lying VP just isnt it. Obama 08

Using Bill Clinton’s Words:
“For example, you’re a voter, and you have Candidate X and Candidate Y,” Clinton riffed. “Candidate X agrees with you on everything. But you don’t think that person can deliver on anything. Candidate Y disagrees with you on half the issues, but you believe that, on the other half, the candidate will be able to deliver. For whom will you vote?”

Jessica, why don’t you just say what you really want to say. You won’t for for Obama because he is Black. I guess McCain is squeaky clean, just like Palin. Can you define American Values. And just what is your Christian values? And you know for a fact that Obama had alcohol and drug use abuse. I guess just like our current president George Bush.And bush and Cheny’s shady dealing with Halaburton. What about Bush who lied to the American public about Iraq possessing WMD. Exposing an undercover CIA agent all because her husband decided to tell the truth. He has a wonderful record with Kartina right? You even pointed it out, you have a problem because he has a Muslim name. You showed your true colors. You’re a racist

Sarah Palin: whyyt trash with class!! Yeah….this is truly american, right???

Is this a joke? BO doesn’t know what Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are. Besides, he may have the matter of American flags found in trash bags at his Denver convention thing according to media reporting. Boy Scouts are said to have rescued the flags and these were at John McCain’s rally at Colorado Springs.

George Bush jr is the worst POTUS ever and he proved that he could fool all the normal republicans to follow him so he can achieve his own ambitions . As a Republican I know we can do better then McCain and Palin so I am going to vote as a American this time .
Between fear and suffering man has no hope .

I still don’t see anything about both of these “Clinton-era and cronie ran” entities giving millions to Jesse Jackson’s “Rainbow Collition” and other left side wackos-WHILE IT’s STOCK FELL TO ALL TIME LOWS.
Yeah, go ahead and support it numb nuts

To everyone who wrote something. Thanks to God that we still live in nation where people can say what ever they want. 99.9% of every Politician who ever lived and lives today are one notch below child molesters. Remember that as long as you live because that is the truth. The USA doesn’t need a President. We need to get rid of all of our useless politicians who have sold their misserable beings to the higherst bidder. The Republicans and Democrats don’t give a damn about any of us. Hell they don’t even know where you live. We don’t need change we need to rediscover who we are. First of all we need to call an apple an apple and an orange an orange. What I saw the other night was the true face of the Republican Party. That face is the same face I saw unveiled in the 1930′ and 1940′s. Fascist, racist, bigoted, twisted, and poisonous NAZIS. USA we must wake up. For the past 8 years we have had the KKK running the White House. Do you want to give the United States of America to the New Nazis? This is not a joke. Wake up USA. The enemy from within is the enemy less expected. I don’t see myself as a Republican or Democrat. I have always seen myself as a USONIAN. A USONIAN is a person from the United States of America. There is still hope but the nation must wake up before it is to late. I have always been awake because I know who I am. I am a USONIAN and not a donkey or an elephant. I love my country because I know who I am. I am a USONIAN a person of the United States of America. The problem is that most of the people who live in the USA don’t know who they are. That is why it so easy to be taken in by liars, carpet baggers, flim flam artist and thieves in night. We need more than Obama’s change. We need to rediscover ourselves. We are lost in the mist of Bull C–p. Make sure when you vote in November don’t vote out of fear, racism, or supidity, but for the love of our nations children. Their future is in our hands. So my fellow USONIANS lets’s get off our behinds and do something for our country. VOTE not just for change but for a new discovery of who we are.

Another thing., Monday, when Mccain has a lead in the national polls. Shouldn’t news articles be introduced as Mccain, Obama not Obama, Mccain. It may be news to the Washington “highly educated” news media but M comes before O in the alphabet. Since more people watched John Mccain than Obama’s “temple of the dog” speech in Denver. Why do you always give Obama preferential treatment. Be honest, are you practicing affirmative action?

More coverage goes to the Democrats because all the news media are liberal people. If you stand for right, you are a loser in this world, but not in the one to come. ABC is disgusting and a lot of us will never watch them again. They are totally prejudiced and show it all the time. It really does not matter who they are for, they should report the news unbiased but they simply cannot. Two of the worse are Charles Gibson and George (whatever his name is) are the worst of all.

Obama is taking a reasonable approach to this crisis. It would be outrageous for investors not to take a hit. The deal is this: you invest…you take your chances. That is the name of the game!

Palin would have said:
“No Questions until I feed and dress my kids!”

Sarah Palin electrifies the McCain/Palin ticket turning the election race on its head. This turn of events has stunned the leftwing and its liberal media attack dogs. Dirty liberal tactics have failed and backfired as they watch their boy barack hussein obama’s polls fall through the floor.
But I think there’s more than the Palin factor at work here, we need to consider the barack factor too. Bill Clinton believes barack has the mindset of a Chicago street thug (Politico, 2008) and that his closest associates all hate America (Free Republic, 2008).
Baracks close friend Bill Ayers once said, “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.” Then on 9/11 he went on to say, “I don’t regret setting bombs, I feel we didn’t do enough.”. In the 1990s, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn introduced barrack obama to “neighbors” during his first run for the Illinois Senate. Obama’s association with unsavory characters is extremely troubling.
So clearly barack is fighting against himself and he will loose, Americans simply do not like thugs who hate America!

We may as well do it, We are paying $10 million a day for a phony war in Iraq. We also just gave $1 billion to Georgia to help it rebuild after the Russian invasion.
What happened to all those crying Country First!
Bailing out Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae is Country First – all you Republican morons.

All the hatred from the right wing on this article is unsettling! I was a Hillary supporter, but I have better sense than to vote for McCain who wants to keep the taxes for the rich in place, who want to continue throwing our national treasure at Iraq, who picks a woman for VP just to please the Christian right, and probably the only vetting done on Palin was by the Christian right, and who says he is all for change and yet he wants to keep doing all the things that the Bush Administration has done to ruin this country. America badly needs a change… and Obama has plans which I like. No way would I even consider voting for McCain, ever!!!

You Americans picked one real weirdo in Sarah Palin!
We here in Europe love to poke fun at her, she shoots wolf from helicopter for fun, ha, ha. Charles Manson with lipstick, ha ha. She so busy dressing moose and thumping bible she doesn’t notice her daughter is boinking local hoodlum, ha ha. You Americans are such flabby, wide-load gun kooks.

Euro.guy, Please don’t think that all Americans like Palin. I do not agree with her about anything and think she appeals to a certain element in our society who like snide, brazen women who are not too bright but sound like they know it all.

The American people need to wake up and smell the flowers. Obama promises change. The people are being hoodwinked by the republications, they are afraid of change because they will lose the power to help the rich. Besides, the only thing that I can see is that Palin is pretty, what she has had to say I have heard before, before she came along. She has not impressed with me her attacks on Obama, all I can smell is the lipstick and it smells stale. Obama is for the poor people. Obama/Biden 2008 is our last chance.

Campaigning four years ago Bush claimed that he had achieved record home ownership. We now know it was a lie. How can Bush take credit for record home ownership when we are now bailing out the mortgage industry? NO REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE PRESIDENT EVEN IF HE IS A MAVERICK WITH TWO LEGS OR FOUR LEGS.

He’s “inclined.” Senator Obama should make up his mind about something…anything!

Mother Pailin says “Abstinence Only”. Daughter Palin thinks that means “Go Horizontal with Levi” Sarah Palin has one creepy family, ha ha!

Well of COURSE he’s inclined to side with anything that resembles more, more, MORE government. Obama is a socialist, not a capitalist! He wants to commit economic genocide against anyone who has worked their a$$ off to get ahead in this country. In no way, shape or form is this man a “patriot” and with each passing day I am more and more of the opinion that his utopian society looks more like facism than democracy.

The democrats have held the power of the house and senate for two years, and the economy has gotten worse. God help us every one if they control both houses of congress and the White House. You think it’s bad now?

for all those who are bitching about Obama’s comments, QUIT YOUR BELLY ACHING!!!! I don’t see McCain or your so-called “Super Star” doing any interviews!!!! oh I forgot, McCan’t and Ms. Pitbull need their comments written for them, otherwise, McCant will ‘forget’ or won’t know what to say and Ms. Pitbull doesn’t have ANY real experience!!!!! She is NOT ready to be VP (especially since she’s only a heart-beat away from being the POTUS!!!!!

“If you vote for the cub, instead of the LION, you’ll get a meow, instead of a ROAR!”

Surely Obama will call on fellow Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel, chair of the House Ways & Means Committee, to resign for accepting an INTEREST FREE MORTGAGE on his Carribean villa from a developer. If he really supports “change,” Obama will call on Rangel to resign immediately! Yeah, right…ha,ha,ha. Obama is a farse!

Hey, it took Obama three days of twisting to come out with a position on the Russian invasion of Georgia. Obama seems to respond much more quickly when it requires taxpayers to lose millions of dollars (if not billions!).

EuroGuy – You’re obviously about six years old. What are you doing up at 2 or 3 am? Obviously had too many pints. Sleep it off. And you’d better hope, for the sake of the free world, that McCain wins the election. You may be living in the next Georgia. Have a great night. You’ll have to play with yourself, because this is my last post.

So, now all the extreme left has to campaign about is this? How LAME Dudes! C’mon, lets talk issues. ABORTION – YES, TAX THE RICH, YES! AMERICAN SUCKS, YES! GIVE ALQUEDA ATTORNEYS (and let americans pay for them) YES! FREE HEALTH CARE, YES! FREE RETIREMENT, YES! FREE PRESCHOOL, YES! FREE COLLEGE, YES! Is that about the gist of it?

obama is a great leader. he will be the president. mcain is a lier, since when he learned the word change. He and his buddy has put us in all the troubles. He is acting as if he has not done anything at all. Lier dont succeed!

Obama seems incapable of making any decision. If elected, I’m sure he’ll install a “present” button in the White House so he can avoid making tough decisions like he did when he was in the Illinois legislature. The White House is no place for a cowardly, inexperienced elitest like Obama to cut his teeth being an executive who has to make decisions that will affect our lives.

LarryMan, stop being so mean to Euro.guy (darn that Internet, even foreigners can get onto it). Euro.guy, dry your tears, we won’t do a pre-emptive strike on you – you just keep on posting – all of our brotherly bickering is putting a real strain on us, so your culturally sensitive comments provide comic relief. Speaking of which, everyone, even you LarryMan, should enjoy watching this hilarious clip. http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=184086 for a textbook example of Republican hypocrisy, straight from the horses’ mouths. 100% spin, 0% integrity. And boy are most of us tired of that…including surely John McCain, but a vote for McCain is a vote for another 4 years of Republican slime tactics in power. When President Bush addressed the RNC and compared the ‘angry left’ to the Hanoi Hilton jailors (again, no sense of shame), he ignored the much larger ‘angry middle’. Even people like me (i.e., ones with actual lives,ones that have tolerated the exceptionally high level of lying and bullying under Bush,etc.) are writing posts and we’ll be voting. So, Republican mass-mailers, ideologues, professional insulters and incompetents – all the lies and spin: bring ‘em on. Keep on mobilizing reasonable U.S. to vote the Republican bums out.

Tony…there was record homeownership…unfortunately alot of people (subprime ones) should not have ben homeowners especially if they were illegals living in CA or FL.

Common guys and gals, be real! Palin has been exploited by McCain for his political gain. Be serious, Palin cannot even know what a VP does in the White House, who are leaders around the world, or there are other races and ethnicities in the US and around the world. You must be kidding to vote for McCain who has 4 times cancer and at 72 years old. Are you ready to let Palin to lead this greatest country in the world?

Obama has no achievements, he has only been in the senate for 2 years and has voted present 85% of the time, what does that tell you. I realize McCain has voted present too but no where near as often. McCain is putting the country first unlike Obama who is putting himself first. Think about it people, once Obama is elected their is no going back; their is no redo. McCain may have his own issues but look what he stands for, America will be way better off with him. Don’t let Obama’s smooth talk sway you and he is a smooth talker, tells you what you want to hear. Don’t believe it!!

Of course..The answer to everything Democratic..More government intervention and no personal responsibility. Make me pay for everybody elses bad judgement and bad decisions. It’s the Federal government that got us into this mess in the first place.

Fema person,
That’s it? That’s all you have? Obviously you were watching MSNBC- who’s that Sally bimbo? Same talking points. Fear this: McCain’s mommy is 96!

Some of you don’t know that Barack was actually a great basketball player as a kid, but as he sat on the curb waiting to be picked by the other kids, they couldn’t help notice how he crossed his legs. Unfortunately, Barack was a transfer from Indonesia and didn’t know better. The local kids hero’s were the Chicago Bulls, and had Barack been more observant, he would have noticed that none of the Bulls bench crossed their legs the way he did. Needless to say, the kids made their choices and Barack was never chosen. Eventually it dawned on him, that basketball wasn’t working out, which is when he made the decision to go into politics. Thus….. a basketball playing, gay leg crossing, politician was born.
This photo sure looks like Obama and Stepalloverthis are gazing deeply into each others eyes….and what’s Stepalloverthis doing to that pen?
Onto the subject: Obama’s government intervention is a fresh new idea, and knowing how the government runs programs, I’m sure it would be a huge success. I, for one, have never seen an unsuccessful government program, have you? Remember, there’s a 10,000 word limit here.

Oh My gosh! I made a terrible mistake. The chairman of the baning committee is Barney Frank. Isn’t he a noce liberal man just like B.O.? He wants the change that Obama wants. Well, I guess he must be a good man. We should not say anything and just keep him.

Hey “get a life people” person:
There’s a lot of speeches that are identical, from the past, to Obammies as well! Gee, you think the speech writers might plagerize a bit?

If a candidate was truely for change the first thing I’d like to see changed is the time.
Not the newspaper. Daylight Savings Time. Old Ben Franklin was right about electricity but I think he got the time thing wrong. Please stop the changing of the clocks!!!!!
Sign me
a desperate voter.

FEMA, enlighten us on exactly what are the duties of VP? Do you know? If not then your saying Sarah Palin doesn’t know doesn’t make alot of sense, I guess I can see why you like Obama.

Thomas, interesting!

Al – You should listen to what Palin said about VP here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5969702757095871175&ei=LDTDSLzQJIGiqgKzmMC4BQ&q=palin+ask+what+VP&vt=lf&hl=en.
Seeing is believing….

I’ll tell you what I would like to see, NAFTA repealed and jobs brought back to the USA. NAFTA was a huge mistake and it needs to be righted.

Al,
Mccain’s mother doesn’t have a history of malignant melanoma.

i have a little problem that Obama is still personally connected with Rev. Wright who he considers family. Obama and the Democrats aren’t mentioning him because of this election. The man preaches hate. This is very disturbing. with that said, I like McCain/Palin they’re the only one who has done something and proved it on record. Biden been in Washington for over 30 yrs and he still hasn’t done much. not even fought his own party like McCain. I’m still waiting for Obama did for ALL people not just one group. Unlike Palin who did so much for her state as a governor that included ALL the people of Alaska. McCain/Palin 2008!

The left party are liars and crooks!! They have made the American people believe that the President is a bad person. The President is a true American and loves his country. He has a different vision than the left has, so he gets downplayed so you vote against his party. HELLO!! WAKE UP AMERICA, DONT GET BRAINWASHED. This is called false propaganda. If anybody understands politics, then you will know this. The left is only doing this to get your vote. That is why they use the biased media to help them to get your vote.
Same thing with the oil companies. They make you believe that oil companies are bad, again a way to get your vote. Oil companies have less profit margins than most companies, for example Microsoft’s profit margin is twice as much as the oil companies. Just like any other business, there are cycles, in the 90′s it was the tech sector, and this decade it has been the commodities turn, so yes the oil companies have higher profits. This is called capitalism. The left hates globalization.
Oil companies are good because they provide everything we have and use in our lives. They create globalization!!!!Now, if any oil companies are performing illegal and fraudulent activities, then they should be punished, just like the Enron executives.
Another thing that the left does so to get your vote is that they always say that the rich are getting richer. If you think about it this is a poor man’s way of thinking, and that is what they teach the American people. First of all, the rich will always be rich, under every party, unless they screw up personally. We should be happy of the wealth of this country and that it is getting wealthier.
Second of all, every move that rich people make, they create jobs. When they buy mansions, they create jobs, when they buy yahts & planes, they create jobs, when they start a business, they create jobs, when they make investments, they create jobs, when they buy real estate, they create jobs, and so on. Rich people don’t hide their money under their pillow, they put it to work, thus CREATING JOBS!!!
Sadly, many people have been brainwashed, about everything, the economy, the war, our energy sources, global warming (this summer was not even warm, people please understand that most climate change is a result of the orbital eccentricities of Earth and variations in the sun’s output!!!!)…..
For example, Al Gore has already made 100 million dollars from his “global warming policies”. That is a lot of money. So, what was the result, did he save us from global warming, or he just took OUR MONEY??????
I do understand we have to protect our environment, but to come up with some BS theory and make speeches collecting our money. CROOKS!!!!!!

The rich-getting-richer phenomenon is not fiction; it’s well-documented by even the Congressional Budget Office, and it’s accelerating.
The “rising tide lifting all boats” and “trickle down” ideas sound good but recent history belies them
Congratulations, my friend, you have officially been brainwashed by the Republicans. You, and we, have all been HAD by these people, and we need to turn it around real quick, or we’ll be just another tinhorn dictatorship.

This voting problem of Barack’s has been an issue since he was a young boy in Indonesia. For some unexplainable reason, instead of printing his name in the upper right corner of his schoolwork, he printed the word “present”. This explains the poor grades he received in school as a youngster, because, of course, no one knew who the paper belonged to. He recovered from this problem and actually graduated from Harvard law school. But now he’s regressed, the problem has resurfaced and most of his votes in the senate are now listed as “present”. At least now he actually signs his name on the paper so we can credit him with these important votes. When asked why he does this he mentioned something about being above his paygrade?? He’s going to make a fantastic president!! Our company has already come up with a new increased price list to compensate for the tax increase we anticipate. We’re going to keep the old one, just in case. We’ve labeled them the BB(Before Barack) and AB(After Barack) price lists. Nothing like planning ahead.

Al,
If Obama was assasinated and suddenly died, I’d feel much more comfortable with Joe Biden in his place than with Sarah Palin…
Just my personal opinion.

If Obama were assasinated why would Palin take his place??

Karronna, I respect your opinion, but I would still take Palin over Biden, Biden is too engrossed in Washington politics, Palin isn’t which I think is a good thing. She wouldn’t have special interest groups hounding her.

Dave B, Palin wouldn’t take Biden’s place I was trying to make a point that even though McCain has had problems with melonoma in the past I would still take palin over Biden if McCain were elected president and suddenly he died. I was asked what if McCain died would I trust Palin and YES I would, more so then a tainted politician like Biden.

Wow – I hope the above crew is just a small portion of extremely misinformed Americans. I cannot imagine that Americans are so stupid in such large numbers. So worried that a BLACK man could actually become president that you have lost all logic. Since your country is already borrowing large sums from once poor countries, I’m sure the color of your president will be the least of your worries in a few short year! Enjoy your new McCain/Palin regime, but pay attention, your once super power status is rapidly becoming a distant memory.

My mind is made up.
I’m not voting for the black guy.
And I’m not voting for the white guy.
I’m voting, with full confidence, for the tan guy.

I don’t believe my ears about you comrades! We have been crying of loosing jobs and houses! Majority have no insurance! The country has lost its strength among other nations!You still want the same 4 years! Give me a break foxes! We need the change we can believe in that’s Obama for President.
I could need understand the VP of Mac! crashing the foundamental base of community organizer that is zero management! You better go back to the basic, that is where the grass root do bring change! Pal do not use power to nock others because you think they are not important in your eyes! You’re wrong and you will answer it one day.
Obama for the people regardless of their differences.

NEWSFLASH! THIS JUST IN:
McCAIN IS ACCUSED OF THEFT!
Apparently still reeling from being caught steeling no less than 12,000 US flags from the Democrats in an overnight raid recently, now authorities are revealing more theft complaints involving McCain and his personal entourage.
As if steeling 12,000 flags and blaming it on local Boy Scouts wasn’t enough, McCain now stands accused of steeling a copy of Gideon’s bible from a hotel in Minneapolis during his stay there for the convention earlier this week.
Hotel employees gave a list of several items missing from the Hotel after McCain stayed there, including the Bible. Other missing items included three cocktail glasses, an ice bucket, several bars of soap, three rolls of toilet paper and those tiny little ketchup and mustard bottles.
Boy Scouts den mothers also expressed their dismay given the recent circumstances surround the wild accusations that somehow Boy Scouts were wandering the Invesco Arena area during the late hours after the DNC Convention and had stumbled upon 12,000 US flags, which they were then alleged to have stolen and having fenced in Minneapolis to the RNC. “I am shocked” said one mother. “Little Jimmy is in by sunset in tucked in by 8:30 every night, including weekends”.
“These Bibles are no longer free to steal” said the Hotel manager anonymously for fear of scurrilous reprisals by Republican fanatics. “It clearly states on the inside cover that you have to send away now for a free copy of the Gideon’s Bible” exclaimed the Hotel manager.
“You can’t just go willy-nilly taking things as if you own the world” the manager added. “I hear he was illegally downloading music off the internet last month to use in his TV commercials to bash the Democrats.”
Apparently McCain has long suffered from a rare disorder called “Hotel Kleptomania” stemming all the way back to his days in the Hanoi Hilton, where staff still insist he would take spoons, which have not been accounted for to this day. McCain still holds a grudge against the Hiltons, recently implicating young Paris Hilton in one of his regular tirades about Barack Obama, his staunch Democratic rival for the presidency.
The Hiltons were not available for comment, but a spokesperson for the Hotel chain said that McCain has been blacklisted from staying at their hotels since the early 70s due to missing items whenever he would stay at one of their hotels.
This is just one more blow to the McCain camp, still reeling from theft accusations including stealing Barack Obama’s political campaign theme and message as well, a message of change and reform. “We knew he had taken the message”, as did several witnesses who spotted McCain, Washington insider and veteran politician for a quarter century, spouting the term change and reform where several members of the American public were gathered.
One witness said he knew McCain had stolen Obama’s message when he heard McCain having tremendous difficulty pronouncing the word “change”. “It sounded so strange coming from Mr. McCain that you could readily see he was unfamiliar with the concept or how to pronounce the word” said one eye witness. A local panhandler handed McCain a dollar, thinking McCain was begging for a hand out. “I just felt sorry for the guy” said the homeless man, he kept saying “change”.
Mr. Obama stated that “This is a sad day for all Americans” and lamented that McCain really had no message or content of his own to use for his campaign. Mr. Obama volunteered to donate his political message and theme to McCain just as soon as he was finished with them, after November 6th.
Democratic supporters feeling bad for poor McCain have started a campaign and are mailing McCain their loose change.

The deal that Ms Palin has signed with Transcanada is also interesting in that an American company was also bidding for the rights to install the pipeline,but they wanted an estimate as to the amount of fuel that would go through the line. The state so far has not been willing to give that estimate. The deal with Transcanada allows that if the state has anything to do with facilitating a pipeline to be built by a competitor, than Transcanada is to be paid TREBLE damages based on this amount of fuel. kind of an open ended deal for Transcanada without an estimate of the fuel to be pumped through. There’s also a lot of fed money guaranteed as part of the equation. Take a close look at this situation before you assume she’s not tainted.

I’m following, just joking. . .but let’s not forget the guy Obama’a counting on for experience has had 2 near-fatal brain aneurysms, and is only 7 years younger

I look at it as the lessor of two evils, McCain/Palin is far less evil the Obama/Biden. Obama will send this country in the wrong direction. Examples, Rev.Wright, his perceived patriotism, which to me IS a big deal; his wifes’ reference months ago that for the first time she is proud to be an American.What does that mean? Read the following, I didn’t come up with this.
According to Snopes.com, Princeton was requested to put a ‘restriction’ on distribution of any copies of the thesis of Michelle Obama (a/k/a/ Michelle laVaughn Robinson) saying it could not be made available until November 5, 2008 but when it was published on a political website they decided they would lift the restriction.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/thesis.asp
Subj: Thesis – Michele Obama aka Michelle LaVaughn Robinson
OBAMA’S MILITANT RACISM REVEALED
In her senior thesis at Princeton , Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama
stated that America was a nation founded on ‘crime and hatred’.
Moreover, she stated that whites in America were ‘ineradicably racist’. The
1985 thesis, titled ‘Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community’ was
written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson.
Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to ‘Whites at Princeton , it often
seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first…’ However, it was reported
by a fellow black classmate, ‘If those ‘Whites at Princeton ‘ really saw Michelle
as one who always would ‘be Black first,’ it seems that she gave them that
impression’.
Most alarming is Michele Obama’s use of the terms ‘separationist’ and
‘integrationist’ when describing the views of black people.
Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a ‘separationist’ view of race.
‘By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as
a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.’
Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to
her ‘further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.’
Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder.
Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America , but
she elevates black over white in her world.
Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning:
‘There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black
community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize
all of my present and future resources to benefit the black
community first and foremost.’
What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she’s first
lady that will elevate black over white in America ?
The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action
policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration.
‘Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically
designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of
their enrollments.’
The conclusion of her thesis is alarming.
Michelle Obama’s poll of black alumni concludes that other black students
at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than
celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common
American culture more than they value the color of their skin. ‘I hoped that
these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of
identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational
path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a
certain level of identification with the black community. However, these
findings do not support this possibility.’
Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire?
Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.
Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see
Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted
with one another.
The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama’s thoughts and
world view seen through a race-based prism. This is a very
divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold
damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama
administration.
Michelle Obama’s intellectually refined racism should give all
Americans pause for deep concern.
Now maybe she’s changed, but she sure sounds like someone with an axe to
grind with America . Will the press let Michelle get a free pass over her obviously
racist comment about American whites? I am sure that it will.
PS: We paid for her scholarship.

Obama is such a leader, the McCain campaign has tried to copy his every move. Change starts from the bottom up! Obama/Biden wins again!

I can see half the comments on here are made up flat out lies and Republican talking points – Do you even really know what McCain stands for or do you just listen to all the shite that Fox news feeds you!
By the way where’s Sarah MIA! Ready to step in and lead but “Can’t even face the media”

If Obama is such a leader what laws or bills has he authored or co-authored? In his 170 odd days in the senate he has voted “present” meaning he has no opinion 85% of the time. Tells me he has no opinoin on anything unless it effects him.

Amanda, I don’t watch nor listen to fox news as they are very one sided and bias. I know very much what McCain stands for do you know what Obama stands for today at this moment?

Why are people so threaten by Obama? It shows one’s ignorance and fear of what they don’t want to understand. Obama has been gracious, accepting of everyone, completely inclusive with everyone and only wants the best for all Americans. So why are people so angry with him? He has laid out a way better plan that Mccain has NOT laid out and that’s the bottomline. People who dislike Obama need to come off their high horses and hateful attitudes and vote for the real candidate of real change Obama 2008!!!Not Mccain….

Karronna, Thank you for bringing the AIP issue up front, I am not going to speak on that as I don’t have enough information YET to make a conclusion. I’m not saying your right or wrong just that I need more information; and I will research it. As for McCain, I did hear his speech and what I interperated is that he loved his country BEFORE but he was a selfish person that put HIM before others and being in Hanoi changed that. MY opinion!

These “mini-interviews” with either candidate are nothing more than video set pieces designed to get the subliminal idea into American’s minds that their candidate “looks and acts presidential”. Nothing more, nothing less. This election has turned into a major dog & pony show, with Barack as the master ringleader. Tell me again why we should care at all what he thinks of the government bail-out of FM & FM? He is “briefed” then parrots the info back to George Steph. and suddenly, Barack’s “followers” say stupid -100 IQ things like, “Gee, he is sure smart!” & “Gee, Barack looks more and more presidential everyday!” Come on! Get Real!

Al,
go check out Sarah Palins church affiliations in Alaska. There is audiotape and transcripts of pastors stating that palestinian bombings of Israel are god’s judgment on the state of Israel for not being a Christian nation. more…on that to…

according to a Judicial Watch Blog:”
Obama Has Same Corporate Insiders He Regularly Blasts
Mon, 06/09/2008 – 15:46 — Judicial Watch Blog
Barack Obama campaigns with promises of change and he regularly blasts corporate
insiders yet a high-ranking campaign advisor and top fundraiser has received
millions of dollars in the sort of highly questionable loans that the Illinois
Senator blames for infecting the economy and creating a home foreclosure crisis.
A major newspaper broke the story over the weekend that contradicts Obama’s
infamous change rhetoric and ardent critiques of well-connected corporate
insiders who get perks that most Americans cannot even fathom. It turns out that
the bundler (committed to raising at least $100,000) who is in charge of finding
Obama a running mate has some serious skeletons in his closet.
Longtime Democratic Party power James Johnson, got at least five real estate
loans—at rates below market averages—worth more than $7 million from Countrywide
Financial Corp. through his close friend, Countrywide chairman and executive officer Angeleo Mozilo. In his nationally televised change
speeches, Obama has denounced these types of insider perks and blamed them for
infecting the economy and hurting hard-working Americans.
In fact, during one of his animated pep rallies in Pennsylvania Obama
specifically criticized Countrywide’s CEO for getting millions of dollars in
bonuses while people were at risk of losing their homes. “What’s wrong with this
picture?” the senator asked a pumped-up, rowdy crowd. It turns out that the
answer is a prominent part of his campaign.
This is hardly the first time that Obama’s illusion of a “squeaky clean” image
has been tainted. One of his top political fundraisers and close friends, a
shady slumlord named Antoin Rezko, was recently convicted for taking huge
kickbacks on government deals. The chairman (Hatem El-Hady) of an Islamic
“charity” shut down by the U.S. government for funding Middle Eastern terrorists
is one of Obama’s top fundraisers and the senator tried steering millions of federal dollars to his wife’s employer and the company of a top campaign
donor.
Yet Obama assured Americans early in his campaign that he was the only
presidential candidate not corrupted by Washington politics. The undisputable
facts clearly contradict this. “

Explain it to me “like I am a 2-year-old” again; why exactly is America listening to an unqualified man parrot the current Treasury Secretary’s opinion as his own? WHY is America listening to a man who used his connections with an indicated real estate broker named REZKO who helped Barack himself obtain an illegally discounted home loan to purchase his $1.5 million Chicago mansion? Come on Barack, keep explaining all this stuff to America “as if we were 2-year-olds”. Jesus what a total jerk.

What does bombing of Isreal have to do with this election? I personally am of the mind set that who cares? Oh by the way I have already made up my mind. I don’t have to agree with everything a candidate stands for, for me it comes down to who can best serve the country and I think you already know you I am going for. Sorry!

wow – the lies and disinformation and spin from the Republicans on this board is ridiculous. Obama is solving real problems that affect real American families and you wackos are still trying to push your failed radical free market ideology. Guess what – the free market isn’t free and it’s time for the grownups to step in and restore sensible market regulations for the good of everybody. This is what sane and sensible Americans want, and we refuse to be held hostage by you irrational, illogical and deeply ignorant loudmouths any longer.

Phillypaul – because the Republicans are still much, much worse. LOL

Al, before you start taking about Obama’s pastor again, you should read up on Cheney lite with lipstick’s pastor. His views a more in line with pastor Hagee who was McCain’s pastor. The best part about we are going see her sweat when she has to explain herself.

What kind of problems has Obama solved? America doesn’t need more gov’t like Obama wants and preaches. So tell me what is he solving?

Al – guess what, no matter who wins your taxes will go up. The bill for Bush’s war debt is coming due and somebody’s got to pay for it. We owe China and our other creditors over $3 TRILLION! If you supported the Iraq war, then you better shut the hell up and get ready to bend over and take it like a man.

To all you misguided Republicans: Please, let’s stick the issues at hand, or perhaps you – like your candidates – being unable to articulate the issues must resort to personal attacks. The fact is, you are all out of touch with what is really happening in the U.S. Case in point: your candidate’s wife sports outfits that cost more than most American’s houses. Hpocrisy all around (all you have to do is watch the video clips from Jon Stewart to know that I have substance to back up my claims). Not the least is the claim by the Republicans (including those on this blog) that claim to want to come together to change and improve the country. For people that people that claim to want work together in a bipartisan way to create a united country so that future generations will be proud to be Americans again, you certainly spew a lot of hate. Oh, and James, I hate to tell you this, but there are white people that are planning on voting for Obama/Biden and I am one of them.

more….
Obama has also introduced a number of bills in the 110th Congress, which convened on January 4. Among the bills Obama has recently introduced, one would “improve benefits and services for members of the Armed Forces, veterans of the Global War on Terrorism, and other veterans.” Obama introduced another bill “[t]o promote the national security and stability of the economy of the United States by reducing the dependence of the United States on oil through the rise of alternative fuels and new technology.” Further, on January 30, Obama introduced a bill (the official text of which is not yet available) that, according to Obama’s January 30 Senate floor speech on the bill, would “cap[] the number of U.S. troops in Iraq at the number in Iraq on January 10, 2007 — the day the President gave his ‘surge speech’ to the nation” and would require the process of troop withdrawal from Iraq to begin on May 1 with the goal of removing all combat brigades from Iraq by March 31, 2008

Course…now the official text is available and he admitted the surge worked at reducing violence…even though we probably shouldn’t have been there in the first place…
now…we need to work to get the Iraqi’s to take over for themselves?

High taxes and more government never, never works. Do your homework people, don’t be sucked in by the crap that is dished out to you by the MSM. Think for yourself. Read, study, listen. I didn’t know who I was going to vote for and now I do. McCain/Palin 2008.

making a lot of money because of a lack of regulation- he has seized on another opportunity to regulate. why doesn’t he just nationalize it and be done with it. Certainly his tax scheme can just be ammended as he has done all along.
As for his tax plan, I guess Obama said something different in April in the interview with Maria Bartiromo. Under 75k would only get tax relief. Of course as I said he was trying to get the primary and appealing to his base. I don;t believe his current plan because he is appealing to the moderates and his history is anything but ,being the most liberal Senator. So I have to believe he is the tax and spend Democrat that he will revert to when elected. MoveOn, Daily Kos and George Soros are not bank rolling him because he is a moderate, he is as far left as you can go and his social programs will damage the economy. It is very simple, I don;t trust him.http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_15/b4079017876246_page_2.htm

Want real change so we don’t face this mess again…Give this book a shot.
“he Revolution: A Manifesto”

Smitty,
john Mccain says he’s a reformer yet his campaign is loaded with advisors with lobbying connections….
your point?

voice of sanity, I must have missed that sorry! Lets all line up and let him kiss our foreheads.

CaseyRidgeway – um, yes they do. The free market isn’t free. Without regulation the free market becomes totally corrupt.

Bias in the media has ruin the credibility of news journalism forever. Having George Stephanopoulos interview Obamanation in an attempt to have a credible questioning is such a joke. The points raised by the left-wing moonbats in this posting with their idiotic reasoning that the “messiah” is the answer for America just shows how desperate the Dems are.
McCain/Palin 2008

CaseyRidgeway, You are right on the money, I agree with you 100%. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Do you guys really want a dog “a pitbull with lipstick is how she described herself” for the VP of United States? Another tough talking liar of average intelligence but knows how to do same old politics?

voiceofsanity, talk to me. What don’t you understand? I hope and pray we aren’t voted out of the white house but if we are GOD help us.

ENOUGH OF PRO-LIE REPUBLICANS.
ENOUGH OF REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION AND LIES.
ENOUGH OF ROVE’S AGENDA.
ENOUGH OF REPULSIVE REPUBLICAN RHETORIC.
ENOUGH OF IMPERIALISM.
ENOUGH OF REPUBLICAN TRYING TO KILL THE MIDDLE CLASS.
WE WANT OUR DEMOCRACY BACK:
DEMOCRATS ALL THE WAY.

Al – I don’t understand your anger, rage, irrationality and ignorance.

Al…
your personal posts don’t reflect rage or hate…but your agreement with those who name call does.

voiceofsanity Me neither, I fail to see where you think I have anger and rage, as for irrationality, well I guess that is your opinion.

no to PRO-LIARS, I’m middle class and the ideas Obama has will RAISE my taxes. Do you want that, or are you in another tax bracket?

karrona- I guess Obama doesn’t have any lobbyists from Unions, environmentalists, lawyers,tech companies, Hollywood on his campaign staff?
Obama plays to the special interest even though he says he doesn’t.

Al,
I know you’ve made your mind up already as have I…but do me a favor and read this…It’s pretty scary to think about John MCCain’s finger on the “button” when you start putting it all together.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/opinion/07rich.html?hp

how many votes has McCain missed this year…(hint….more than obama)..
does any of this make it right?
Nope…
just saying..
please read the nytimes article.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/opinion/07rich.html?hp

Karronna, I don’t condon name calling and bad mouthing but it seems to me, Obama slamed McCain during his speech, Other then 2 light references I don’t recall McCain bad mouthing Obama, HMMMM!

McCains are idiots. Read this!involving a McCain.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators on Friday shut down Silver State Bank, saying the Nevada bank failed because of losses on soured loans, mainly in commercial real estate and land development.
It was the 11th failure this year of a federally insured bank.
Nevada regulators closed Silver State and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver of the bank, based in Henderson, Nev. It had $2 billion in assets and $1.7 billion in deposits as of June 30.
Andrew K. McCain, a son of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp, since February but resigned in July after five months citing “personal reasons,” corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show. Andrew McCain also was a member of the bank’s audit committee, responsible for oversight of the company’s accounting.
The younger McCain, who is the chief financial officer of Hensley & Co., the beer distributorship of which Cindy McCain is chairwoman, is the Arizona senator’s adopted son from his first marriage.
Remember El Dorado Savings and one of the Bush boys? And don’t forget John McCain’s involvment with Charles Keeting in the 90′s when the S&L collapse occurred. Puting McCain in the White House is like putting a pistol in your mouth and pulling the trigger. He is an IDIOT. We’ve had an idiot for 8 years and look what you got! McCain is dummer than Bush, if such a thing is possible.

Newsrook, repubs took over BEFORE 9/11 happened. No one asked for not wanted 911 to happen but it did. So your so called surplus went to pay for a war. As for Iraq, McCain was right in one fact WE AREN”T leaving there anytime soon, look at Korea we have been there 50 years, we will be in Iraq for years to come. EXCEPT IT.

jschmit..
why guess?
do some research and then present me with the links and we’ll talk.
I happen to think McCain’s judgment is suspect at best.

newrook- you should read Obama’s interview in Business week in April.
him.http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_15/b4079017876246_page_2.htm
Now Obama says he will not raise taxes on anyone making under 250k. In April running for the primaries and trying to win the liberal vote is was 75k (read the article). So which is it. Did DailyKos, MoveOn, George Soros stop supporting him because he spouts moderate views? No. So I can only surmise that if elected he will follow all the policies that have made him the most liberal of Senators and he will move away from all moderate views he has now. Sorry- I can’t trust him.

anyways..
none of you McCainites have come up with a lick of anything concrete tonight….just assumptions and rumors.
I’m tired and out of here.
We’ll agree to disagree.

Good night Karronna, your leaving tells me you know we are right!
Have a great evening.

Yea Obama screw the investors,you said it bud Screw the free markets.Anybody who votes for this dip **** should really get their head checked.BIG GOVT. THATS THE WAY.BAILOUT THE IDIOTS WHO BOUGHT HOUSES TO IMPRESS THEIR FRIENDS.Sir dont worry you are 5 months behind on your mortg,lets see you have 16 yrs left to pay.Okay lets extend your 16 yrs to 50 years start you new pymt in 6 months.REMEMBER TO VOTE SIR.WE WILL ALL BE LIVING IN HUD HOMES WAKE UP PEOPLE STOP WAITING ON YOUR MOMMA TO COME SAVE YOU.

They cross their legs that way because neither of them have worked a day in their life and know what to do with them.
Stephanapolous is in idolizing love with Obama and Obama cannot possibly respect Steve for it.

“some sort of” – that’s right Obama, no specifics. hedge your bets. keep playing that polished Styrofoam facade, developed by david axelrod to fool the masses. But Obama does not have a record, no facts, just the artificial “obama brand” !

jschmidt…..How can you trust more of the same in McCain? He’s the one that is NOT in your best economic interests along with Bush. That is if you are Middle Class. Business Weekly is just what its title says it is. BUSINESS.

Newsrook, I am middle class, actually lower middle class and HOPE McCain gets elected. If Obama wins expect your taxes to go up, he has almost admitted it. I would take McCain in a new york minute over Obama. It might be a business but if my taxes are going to be raised that hits home. McCain/Palin 2008

Al………Iraq is what got us $10.2 Trillion in debt not Afghanistan coupled with Bush’s tax cuts while we are at war which McCain supported. McSame wants to keeps us there for maybe “50 more years.”
McCain would have us in another war within 1 year from inauguration and probably with both Russia or Iran. He implied war with Russia already and sings bombing Iran. That is his mentality. WAR! Think research think then vote.

This is the dumbass i gotta have the nicest car,best house,coolest phone,fake tits for the wife,cant save a penny avg joes fault.Yea i blame the shorters of the market to.And i dont think ex investment bankers should be running the treasury either.Its funny all the investment houses leh,ms,c,bac, are trading at 5 year lows but goldman sachs is still at like 170 a share.Look at how many GS execs run parts of our govt.Jesus im starting to sound like a democrap. I think McCain is not one of Bushs soldiers if you back in 2000 he was going to kick bushs ass.Bush people putt out a story that McCains adopted daughter was actually a love child between mac and a black woman.Look it up.Just because they both are Republicans dont mean squat.Obama is a socialist and we will all see soon when the section 8 people live nextdoor.This is not a race thing this is common sense people living next to real irresponsible people.

Newsrook, I have already made up my mind on who will get my vote. I based it on who can help the country the best. Taxes I have some control over through votes, oil I don’t. Under the current administration for me anyway the past 8 years have seen my portfolios expand. Listening to what Obama wants it would decrease. As for another war if McCain is elected sorry I don’t agree with the notion, shaking a cage can like you are going to go can do alot towards ensuring your dont go. I’ve heard what both candidates have stated, and being a nation of sheep, under Obama would be far worse then being a nation of tigers.

Al…….Sorry to hear. Hope you think and try to be more open minded. Your portfolio must have stock in cruise missile companies or Haliburton.
Repubs fear bomb works on you man. tis a shame.
Obama speaks of the right war on the right battlefield. That is not a sheep but smart and strategic deployment of our troops lives.

Al………..Lower-Middle Class? With a portfolio? OK now I get it. You’re a paid McCain/Repub blogger.

McCain and Palin are who the stupid drones vote for. Brainwashed little Nazi’s. I just love how Obama gets these Republicans worked up. Part angry, part scared S%itless of the guy. Great entertainment! I can’t wait ’til the final act, when Obama win by 6%.
YES WE WILL!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN ’08

I love how some people resort to name calling, if that is how the democratic supporters react then yes change is most definetely needed. WOW!
Joseph L, you are right on the money.

YESTERDAY OBAMA WAS SERVED WITH THE FEDERAL INJUNCTION LAWSUIT BY BERG, ESQ. FORCING HIM TO SHOW HIS PAPER BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR THE FIRST TIME TO THE FEC
Can you believe he’s gotten this far and NOBODY has EVER seen his paper birth certificate?

Obama is the manchurian candidate.If not why not make hill his vp.INSTANT WIN.This is the muslims getting us-a back. We empowered them along time ago.Pick Biden because his big mouth will allow Osama to remove him and replace him with Ayers.Then with wooooha DEAN running the dems.They will set out to ruin America.Well at least the NFL starts in a few hours.Come Nov choose a maverick or a socialist look it up people.Let the celebrity go open his string of used car dealerships,write his empowerment books,or take care of his brother who makes 12 dollars a year.Because we will show up all 54,000,000 of us and you will cry

Ayers the Cop Killer Terrorist Friend of 20 years and colleague on the Annenberg Challenge defrauding $160 Million with Obama at the lead for five years…….
NEED WE SAY MORE
OK then, add in Odinga, Wright, Kamau Kambon, Frank Marshall Davis and you have a picture forming of a Marxist America-Hater and a RACIST who was disloyal to AMERICA (violated Logan Act by campaigning for a foreign official Odinga in a foreign country while a US Senator)–never mind that Odinga is a genocidal Islamonazi monster

I hope Palin pounds Obama for ranking on her record in Wasilla and Alaksa. Obama! Chicago has a 7.5% unemployment rate and your district was poorer, more corrupt and crime filled after you were done with your stint! Plus you built shoddy housing with kickbacks to your pals that’s now uninhabitable and a few weeks ago a 3 year old boy was crushed to death by a shoddy iron gate in the complex “you” built while he was riding his trike.

matelot: If Obama’s thin resume is any indicator he will DEFRAUD AMERICA just as he defrauded the Walter Annenberg Estate funds of $160 MILLION ….notice how silent he is about THAT executive experience working with AYERS?

That’s the leader we need, not some decrepit dumb ass.
This whole thing with moose princess thing will come full circle apparently, too, with the proverbial October surprise?…it’s soo good… I guess when it comes out; Paris will have A LOT more in common tPalin than w/Obama.
Apparently ex-wives don’t like it when you wreck their marriages then run for V.P.!
Poor, McCain –he shoulda picked Romney!

Oops i meant sermon i have been snorting that bama blow.Also smoking that Obama weed has got me confused.And i am still smoking newports oops i did quit i mean flip flopped again,

Obama deserves some cred.He kept the white house Republican.He knows low taxes mean more money in our pocket.Thats why he wants to lose.Pick Hill you win pick Biden.It kinda looks like Osama bin laden ’08 not Obama-Biden ’08.

For the die-hards Obama fans …
A new national poll puts Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain in a dead heat – 42% to 42%.
The CBS poll was conducted from Monday to Wednesday, BEFORE the GOP convention ended with McCain’s speech Thursday night.
OUCH !!!

You are all wrong!!! The Gov. should bail out no one. They made bad decisions, let them go under. They deserve nothing more…nothing less. Why should the Gov. use your tax dollars to fix problems caused by the idiots who sold $750,000.00 home to field workers earning $6.50 per hour. Lets get real here. By the Gov. taking over, they will just put a pal here and a friend over there and suddenly we have brand spanking new pirates in charge once again. Enough of this B.S. NO MORE BAILOUTS. Nature say that the strong will survive and the weak become tonights main course. That;s kife in a nutshell. Get over it folks. The free market will rectify everything if we can just get the Feds to go home and do nice-nice with their wives. Leave the financial markets alone. “No More Bailouts Unless They Send Me Some Of The Very Same Money”

Even when I do not agree with him (as in this case), at least Obama lets us know where he stands. No one knows what issues McCain is running on.

Palin took 6 years to get ONE undergraduate degree at the lowest ranked universities. McCain graduated 5th from the bottom of an 899 student class in college. Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude and was the President and editor of the Harvard Law Review, and taught constitutional law for 12 years.
Can we really afford to have 2 people with low IQs on one ticket? At least Bush had Cheney, who is smart. McCain-Palin is doubling down on the stupid factor.

Obama seems to have the right idea. No way these thieves who suckered our economy into a drought should be allowed to get away with it. I don’t care what that obnoxious puppy dog with fangs (Palin) says about him. (Isn’t she cute? Oh! She just bit off my finger. Tee hee! Oh, but don’t attack her! That’s so mean!)

“I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” – Ayn Rand
Don’t live for the sake of Obama the false prophet or democratic party or republican part or John McCain. The youth of this country have been hypnotized into ObamaBots. Wake up and don’t give away your precious mind.

They aren’t going to change your life that much anyway! The best person to change your life is YOU!

Sen.Obama will lead this nation in the right direction if we are ready to for change. Sen. McSame would like to “STAY THE COURSE” on every issue from Iraq, Energy, the Ecomomy, Education, Social Security, etc…. Do not be fooled by Sen. McSame claim of being an agent of change. He will “STAY THE COURSE” of the past 8 years and that we simply must cannot tolerate.
YES TO OBAMA/BIDEN 08
HELL NO TO STAY THE COURSE McSAME/PALIN

Good idea. Military service and leave current elected position within a week of announcing for another elected position. Sounds good to me!

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.
The President heads the executive branch and does not create laws… it is therefore pure folly to say that McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. Which bill did Bush pass? What legislation did Bush author?
Creating a staistic out of thin air is just meaningless drivel.

The headline should have read, “Obama supports intervention and investigation” into these Government ran institutions.

Of course he supports it!! Expand government, redistribute wealth, create the new Western EU…. More reason to take from the “rich” and give to the poor!! While I live comfortable by his standards I am rich. Please everyone vote for McCain/Palin or most of us true middle class will be forced to move to Mexico to sustain our standards. Only you can make the right choice

=======================================
Obammma for CHANGE. Obammma for CHANGE.
Yeah, that’s why he picked a 34 yr. senator for his VP. Lot of change old Hairplug Joe is going to give us. Oh, I see, he CHANGED his Iraq stance from FOR to AGAINST when Obammy “vetted” him after one visit.
Palin for CHANGE, real CHANGE.
Palin – 2012

Obama is “inclined” to agree. This is political speach meaning no matter how the situation turns Obama can deny really saying he was for it or against it.
That is CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN.

Obama is working to solve real problems that affect real people, while the McShame campaign is trying to whip up the Republican followers into buying Sarah Palin glasses as a fashion accessory. How low can the GOP sink?

Pretjene – so all you know is Republican disinformation and lies about Obama? Kinda sad. Why are you here posting nonsense when you should be researching the issues and candidates instead? Your ignorance is shameful.

GET REAL you guys. All like lemmings! Osama this and Mccan’t that…..How about 3rd party for a change.

What happened to the “magic of the
marketplace”. This is more socialism for the rich when their investments don’t work out.

In this interview, Obama seemed very incomfortable in trying to answer George’s questions. He is starts to hesitate and stutter. Why is it that when he is only eloquent in front of a teleprompter? I think he was a flash in the pan for the Democtats and Obama is revealing inauthenticity.

The more he try to SPIN it, the more his polls numbers are falling …
Even before the full effect of RNC Convention Bounce is kicking in, the average of all polls (CNN, CBS, Gallup, Ramussen, Hotline) is showing Obama leading by a wafer thin margin of 1.8%. McCain is now 44.6% snapping away at Obama 46.4%
I know a lot of Obama supporters are going to say they do not believe in polls….they are afterall …. JUST POLLS !!!

Obama said “John McCain did not question my Muslim faith”!!!
What the heck did that mean?

I turned the channel several times to Meet the Press and found Joe Biden to be plain speaking and confident. Obama has lost his confidence and hedges on everything. The nuance is starting to be a liability.

It cracks me up when I read ignorant and silly comments by “Barack Followers” saying things like, “WOW! Barack sure has a great grasp of economic issues!” -No, Barack is GREAT at parroting back info that was just told to him by the treasury secretary. Sort of like President George W. does. Sort of like EVERY president does. Sort of like Sen. John McCain would do as POTUS. I dont really care who you all decide to vote for in this election, just PLEASE STOP with the mindless fawning and undeserved adulation!

McCain’s favorability rating increased from 50% favorable last week to 57% favorable now, a significant jump that indicates the GOP convention was a success. Among independent voters, 61% now have a favorable impression of him, compared to just 49% who said the same a week ago.

Nearly half – 49% – said they had a favorable opinion of Barack Obama, while 50% they had a negative impression of him. Among independent voters, 47% gave him favorable marks, compared to 46% who said the same thing last week.

In the two-way contest in which just McCain and Obama were mentioned in the question, the result was slightly different, with McCain leading, 48.8% to 45.7%.

Biden said the reason they didn’t want to debate McCain on those 10 debates is because it would take too much time from their campaign. He’s a smooth talker, but if you actually listen carefully to what he says he’s ridiculous. He also stuck to Obama’s story and refused to acknowledge that the surge worked.

With guests who call Sarah Palin “trailer trash” and “creationist wacko” on air this morning I don’t think that America has to guess how unbiased the media is, was and will be to Mrs./Gov. Palin. Please restore some civility if at least not in your thoughts but your words when talking about any candidate. I don’t know any of them personally but I respect the office they all presently hold and especially the two they are trying to attain. A Tennessee resident who appreciates a level playing field and then let the best man or woman win.
Respectfully,
Dr. L L Hathcock Jr.

oops! That was supposed to be “area”, not “are”

i am a obama supporter, but i am sick of bailing out big companies why the ceo,s of those companies and the investors make billions. i hope that will not happen in this bail out. if this will protect the home owners that have loans backed by these companies i am ok with it but no one rich should amke a dime on this. we have seen enough of rich bush buddies getting rich off the tax payers.

Do any of you look at the legislation that is passed and presented to the REPUBLICAN pres????? Nothings is getting done because Bush is vetoing everything. The only reason there was an extension on unemployment and a new bill for our GI’s, is because they had to tie it to the bill that was for more money for this Iraq war. All bush cares about is Iraq, where pal Cheney has made filth dirty profits. ACTION speak louder than words and mccain voted with bush 90%, and he is changing his words to get votes, now he is preaching renewable energy, yet he voted against all types of new energy legislation. People wake up and look at the records, not the lies he is telling you just to get elected. It is time for change, I am giving Obama a chance. Mccain also stating now he is against lobbyist and special interests yet they are funding his campaign. Voting for him would be not only ignorant, but insane.

News media all over Palin for another straight day, twisting the words of her and McCain once again. Taking words out of context, trying to cheat their way to an obama win. Utterly disgusting, just like this bottom of the barrel journalism they call a story. Pathetic.

Nope you’re right Joseph. It’s disgusting.
And they’ve set it up so that you get flagged if you use certain words with respect to that event.
Nice, huh?

And what’s the deal w/ him saying he would’ve enlisted in the military? What kind of crap is THAT??? His parents are Marxists and left the US b/c they hated it so much and we think none of that left an impression on this child? Nothing in his autobiographies left any indication he had the kind of patriotism to join the military. I smell fear and desperacy. Maybe we shoulud send this Muslim to fight his own Muslims and come back and run again.

Obama has the right idea, we better hope it isnt too late.Fan and Fred are both publicly funded upstarts, and would have stayed that way if the Republican fat cats woulda kept their hands off it.It is about high time somebody does something about the two blunders, and there’s no way to do other than the Gov. bailout,,, unless you want CHINA to own your mortage as well!!!!!

Everyone needs to remember that Clinton and the dems decided to signficantly downgrade the standards required to get a home loan. Most of the banks followed the lax loan requirements in order to survive. It was the dems that wanted EVERYONE to be able to qualify for a home loan whether they could actually pay or not. THE DEMS DON’T BELIEVE IN REAL PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, THEY ONLY PREACH IT AND THEN TAKE MORE OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AS TAXES AND GIVE IT TO THOSE THAT WON’T WORK AND PAY BILLS ON TIME!!! STOP THE PHONY TAX HIKING OBAMA. OBAMA IS THE WELFARE STATE CANDIDATE!!!

Q. – Why do the Zombomas keep falling? A. – Because they can only run to the left.

Hooray, Barack gives a weak ‘inclined’ to support Bush’s latest policy to address this Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac issue. He also agreed that the Iraq surge is working, after for months ignoring all the evidence that the surge had worked. McCain reached the same conclusions, only much more quickly. Seems the DNC candidate is a little slow on the uptake or maybe he’s just indecisive?

“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. Mr. Obaminable should go back to flipping burgers, not flipping positions. I am sure he will flip on his stance on the Fannie Mae/Freddi Mac issue.

zoilodel:
Your argument is about as lame as McBush and Sarah Palins run for the Presidency. First off I’m black and I voted for Clinton who happens to be white and the majority of the black community was with Hillary until she started stumbling. I also voted for George W Bush both terms because I thought that Bush would help with the moral down fall in America and he didn’t do a thing, in fact the moral values that most Americans support have been aloud to be undermined with all the smut on the TV and the Radio. So even under a Republican President, there was no change in direction as far as protection of family values, in fact the attacks on our families morals have become even worse under Bush and I have no reason it will change under McCain. So I guess my thought is now, that I cant rely on the Government whether it be a Republican or Democrat when it comes to family values and morals. So I am left with making a decision on whether I want to go with Obama who talks about helping the poor and the middle class or John McCain who offers the exact same policies that George Bush has given Americans the last eight years. The rich who have gotten rich of the backs of the middle class and the poor dont have to worry about paying bills and putting food on the table but as a American who is middle class I have to worry about money now because I am one of the thousands of people that have lost my job because of layoffs. To think I voted for Bush, and now my wife and three children are just one pay check from being homeless! I gonna have to vote my wallet this time around and even though I’m a conservative when it comes to family values and morals, those issues are not gonna pay the bills. Obama08.

Was this before or after Obama admitted he was a muslim?
“”The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections,” said Mr. Stephanopoulos, who repeatedly interrupted Mr. Obama during the interview….
Let’s not play games,” he [Obama] said. “What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come.”
Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted with, “Christian faith.”
“My Christian faith,” Mr. Obama said quickly.”
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2008/sep/07/obama-verbal-slip-fuels-his-critics/

Yes, let’s bail out Fannie and Freddie and all of the folks who bought $500,000 homes in the burbs when they only make like $50,000 a year…I live in the city in a house that we could afford and we paid it off. Now Obama wants me to bail out these idiots and speculators with my tax money so that they can go on living in the nice burbs while I don’t even have central air. How about paying off my credit card and car ? I wasn’t so smart running up those expenses. So, bail me out too.

Obama’s answer is weak, and sounds like he doesn’t know what he is talking about. One of his campaign advisors was a lobbyist for Freddie Mac, why not ask about that connection and failure instead of a story on fluff with non-answers. Recently, the Federal Reserve approved the bailout of Bear Stearns and JP Morgan’s purchase of Bear Stearns. Obama is one of biggest recipients of donations from the bailed out firms of: JPMorgan, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac employees.

Anyone that thinks the president is actually the one calling all of the shots is naive. There are so many players in the White House some that you will never even know. So much is being said about what Obama & Mccain know/don’t know & their running mates. Excuse me…has anybody been awake the last 8 yrs?? I don’t give a damn what class somebody flunked in college or how they cross their legs. We have been at war for how long fighting over idealogy. The value of our dollar is decreasing. Our education system just can’t seem to get it right. Our health system is challenged. Obesity is off the charts. There are more foreclosed homes on the market than market rate. Sorry subprime homebuyers were the ones that spurred the booming housing market in a time where we should have probably been in a recession. Gas prices are ridiculous. Give me a flipping break. I’d damn near vote for Big Bird & the dog from the Taco Bell commercial as running mates at this point.And I might see a marked improvement.
I would first of all like to see Republicans stop acting like they are the moral ambassadors of this country and admit they are human too. Not some genetically engineered humanbots. People have children out of wedlock. Get over it.
I would like to see Democrats stop bitching over petty stuff. So Clinton did not get the nomination or running mate selection. Women our time will come don’t go Republican for that trophy Palin this is not the time for an uprising. Well, Obama & Biden are still the lesser of two evils at this point.
Either way I believe our political system is very flawed. How many millions went into this campaign just to say we like a particular person? American Idol does it for free. That money could have gone into the economy for housing, education, roads, agriculture, fuel research, war relief. You name it. Why don’t they just hold public auditions for office. Then the semi finalists all go to one city for debates. Then the finalists all sit before panels weekly until the finale when America selects a group of 12. Finally the individual parties or non parties announce who they have chosen to nominate. And we pay nothing …
That’s the beginning of my dream for America also we need to:
1) get rid of everyone on death row, call it bloody Monday, & repent on Tuesday (they cost too much money & if they believe in God they going to heaven anyway we just speeding up the process)we need to put that money into our children before we have another generation of screwups
2) next everyone who abuses animals also loses their children (if you can’t take care of something responsibly that cleans its own butt just months out of the womb how are you going to rear a child for 18yrs?)
3) if we haven’t won a war after about 6 months pack it up & come on home…hell I know that I would much rather die with my family than thousands of miles away.
4) make foreign language mandatory in schools beginning at the preschool level. every other country knows English but not vice versa.
5) eventually get over our race issues. everybody is just about mixed w/1-4 other things anyway. I know that my ancestors were bought, sold, enslaved, victimized, disenfranchised. Time to move on. No hard feelings here and I don’t want to hear no more crap about affirmative action, welfare, hip hop, ebonics or anything else. Be lucky thats all you have to worry about and not a modern day revolt… :)
6) Can we please decide if there is going to be a separation of Church & State or not? Can’t have religion in schools, but yet we have In God We Trust on our currency, One Nation Under God/indivisible, and put our hand on Bible in court. Whats it going to be? I think a lot of our issues with children would be solved if we allowed religion back in schools. I don’t care if they have moments of silence, peace rooms, or whatever. What in the world negative can come out of it??
So that’s just a little bit of my platform…yeah I decided to run like in 2032 or something.

oh ok i c name is below duh! alright maybe i won’t run for president in 2032 i’ll c if bush is hiring for advisors

Questions for Gov. Palin:
1. The Republican Party platform states that America will stay on the offense in fighting the Global War on Terror. The definition of “offense” is to maintain the operational advantage by dictating the terms and conditions of the next engagement. If that is the case, then what is next?
2. Define the Surge and explain whether it has been a success, and why.
3. Gov. Palin stated that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failed because they had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.” As that is factually incorrect, ask her to explain what she really meant.
4. Gov. Palin is a self-described reformer, and a key event in this narrative is the way she handled the Bridge to Nowhere. Ask her to explain how this fits the definition of reformer, when she actively sought this earmark, hired lobbyists to pursue funding, praised her staff when the funding was obtained, and then kept the money for other projects (to include a Road to Nowhere) when the project was cancelled.
