Obama Watched Palin Speech

What a bunch of crybabies!

My mother in law has changed her mind. On the fence she said she is going for McCain/ Palin now. Good job McCain good choice. I am an African American woman that is going for McCain/Palin.
Thanks for a great night Palin!

For the last year the Obama campaign has been a distortion of fact after fact about his opponents. He has no real acheivemements yet, he just wanna do this and gonna do that—–
AND GIVE $1.4 TRILLION USA DOLLARS TO AFRICAN AMERICANS FOR REPARATION OF BLACKS FOR SLAVERY. HE DOES NOT SAY THIS IN HIS SPEECHES. WAKE UP AMERICA.

They “respect” her? Yeah, that’s why the Obama keeps demoting her to being the Mayor of “Way-silly.”
If they truly respected her, Sen. Obama, his campaign and its surrogates would address her by her current title, Governor. Seems like subtle sexism.

The Democratic Presdiential nominee was given a public neutering by the Republican VP nominee.

Palin is unmistakably “the gift that keeps on giving.” After listening to Palin’s speech yesterday evening, I have to conclude that Sen. Obama is absolutely correct in his analysis of this campaign: the Republicans want to make the main issues “experience” and “personality” to distract the voters from their abysmal record of few accomplishments of the past eight years, instead of focusing on what they intend to accomplish over the next four. After all, what could you possibly expect from a political party, 71% of whose convention delegates believe that Bush is doing a great job as President? This election should clearly be about us and where our country is heading and not about “experience,” “personality,” “hockey moms,” “POW’s,” “community organizers,” or the price of tea in China. If we voters allow McCain and Palin to skate on the thin ice of their “personalities,” then we will have done our country a grave disservice!

Palin does not believe in sex education in schools, only abstinence. Her own family is proof that that theory is ridiculous. What are her other theories? We don’t know. All we know is she can read a speech someone else wrote for her.What is her educational background? Has she ever been to college? Will some reporter PLEASE ask her that?

OMG with the PREACHING NEW DEMS. We know the ISSUES. We DO. We also KNOW WE CAN’T STAND Obama!

Oh yeah, let’s have the BO side talk about ARROGANCE. THE NERVE….

“Obama: Wah, Wah, I want to be the media darling.”

Obama “watched just a “little bit” of the speech last night”, says Axelrod?
Funny: that’s how many disaffected Democrats felt about Obama’s endless Invesco monologue.
Wonder which “little bit” he watched …

Excellent point TIM! Let me add, that not only will he not listen, he will insult and try to eliminate you, even if you are a VOTER.

hey common sense. i don’t give a flying flip whether you think I am African American or not. I am Black, lifelong democrat until now. My mom in law is not black, life long democrat until now. WE ARE VOTING MCCAIN/PALIN There are blacks like me who are appalled at Obama’s race baiting campaign. You say he did not bring it up in his speech. Oh really?
Obama: “I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don’t fit the typical pedigree”
Give me a break. Obama is more status quo, IVY league, slick lawyer than most candidates have been. Go tell it to Harry Truman. He broke the pedigree rule.
You Obamabots can’t handle the truth and are not for CHANGE. If you were open minded you would not blindly think that an African American woman like me would not drink the Kool aid and vote for the Great Black Hope.

SAMANTHA:
And some of you others pretending to be African Americans, it won’t work!
African American women aren’t stupid! There are too many strong women in our culture, it would make no sense for you to turn to someone like Sarah Palin!
Folks, don’t be fooled by the fools who perpetrate!
I would not give the time of day to Sarah Palin!

The real question is…
Do people believe what she said, separate from the way she said it.
We know most of them will never fact check her thin content. But I was watching Barbara Walters on ‘The View’ today and noticed the crowd was pin-drop quiet after Barbara read from Joe Klein’s article about what Sarah Palin’s actual record is.
They hadn’t heard about the bridge she supported, censoring the library, Iraq war as a gift from god…she had another comment about sending her son to it that wasn’t flattering to McCain or Bush (not mentioned on the show.)
We’ll see how well the facts are distributed, and how clearly.

Rev Wright never said we should use the United States military to promote gods will!

“You Obamabots can’t handle the truth and are not for CHANGE.”

Apparently these Republicans “own” patiotism, God, Military Service, Being an American, U.S…hmm. I thought the speeches last night especially Juliani’s was very immature. It seemed as though an angry fifth grader wrote them. It was laughable. All the wanted to do was get a rise out of us. They attacked the media again when all the media is doing is there job. Heaven forbid someone do there job. VIOLATORS!! Wouldn’t want anyone to do any actual work now would we..

“Mrs. Palin needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.”
One of the best posts today by far. I am alarmed at the distain the Republicans spew. They are always the first to get in the gutter and hurl insults. An incredibly hypocritical group. Aren’t we to lead by example? The

The Republicans don’t have a platform. All they know how to do is trash the other candidate.
By the way, McCain and Palin are who the Evangelicals think are great! Hmmmmmm…makes me wonder about the self-righteous, self-centered and holier-than-than thou Evangelicals!!!!
McCain and Palin the same. McCain/Palin/Bush all the same.
Wake up America! Our futures depend on it!

So where is this mystical diffrent path the Mclame/pain ticket is going to take us? They can attack but what is there plan?

Palin: Some candidates use change to promote careers, McCain devotes his career to promote change.
I love it!!!!!!
Obama uses the word “change” more than a panhandler on a Chicago street corner. Sorry Barry, I will give my $$$ to McCain/Palin and the panhandler.

Wow – we Americans should be SOOO proud! An African American male as a Dem Presidential candidate and a female VP Republican candidate!! Happy Days! Now in the meantime, let’s show how great this is by demeaning both of them to death and dragging their families through hell!! It’s despicable .. nothings changed and it’s ALL because of the media! Turn off your TV’s and stop reading their b.s. and maybe they’ll understand .. if you don’t – you’re all just sheep! Wake up!

You McCain supporters wouldn’t know truth if it was standing in front of you touching you. You guys live in a bubble. They are rallying there base. I saw in the audience there and you could just see the blood dripping from there mouths as they cheered for this person they didn’t even know. They are forgetting that by making us angry they are actually rallying Obama supporters to fight. Do they really think we’re just going to give in to this same old crap we’ve had to put up with the last 7 years. They have nothing to run on and Palin is a nobody. Last I saw is that she had an affair on her husband. Real classy.

Last night was “Mock Obama Night”
No policy positions. No Healthcare , no economics, no immigration… we heard nothing of policy. There was no substance.
What Palin stance on taxes, Afganistan, Iraq, Pakistan, healthcare, Georgia, Russia, immigration, China, education, sex education etc?
We don’t know. And sooner or later she will have to answer these questions. The McCain camp will have to release her.
And her up against Biden she won’t have the nerves to call Obama inexperience b/c Biden would call her out on her bull.
As Noone said, a prominate republican. By chosing Palin McCain has given up this race, “It’s Over”.

Obama’s crew must have saved all the criticisms about him to use on the FRESH NEW FACE of SARAHCUDDA! Let’s all stay tuned to find out all the answers to the Obama crews curiosity of Sarah, because I am sure they are wondering if they should stick with him or JUMP SHIP like a lot of DEMS.

Thinking, I’m a community volunteer who has worked countless hours to help others. Sarah didn’t insult me – and Obama supporters know it, but hey, what else have they got? When you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel, all you’re going to get is dregs!

Hey Sorry– the questions are fine. The exact same ones should have been asked to Obama.

Axelrod said, “…I think he (Obama) understands they don’t really have a record to run on, and this is what politicians do when they don’t have a record to run on.”
I could take this statement to mean that McCain really isn’t an extension of Bush. In my book you can’t say that McCain would be a third Bush term if they don’t have a record to run on. Bush has an extensive record, which is why I haven’t and wouldn’t vote for him, but John McCain has his own record, and while not completely to my taste it is the better of the choices we have now been given.

notice what gets the crowd riled up
when they talk policy. crickets
when they slam the opponent. standing ovation
they know george w. bush is working their plan RIGHT NOW … has been for 8 years. LOOK AT THE RESULTS.
pathetic!!!

HER BELITTLING OF BARACK BEING A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER WAS DOWN RIGHT DISGRACEFUL AND SHAMEFUL ,
SHE PRETTY MUCH ATTACK EVERYONE WHO IS OR AT ONE POINT DID GET INVOLVE AS A VOLUNTEER AND HELP OUT THEIR FELLOW MAN , BE IT MEALS ON WHEELS FOR SENIORS AND THE DISABLE , AT RISK YOUTHS, THE FOOD BANK , FIGHTING FOR WORKERS RIGHT…ETC.
She deliver the BUSH campaign team lies/speech well.
Outside of the FLUFF ,zero mention of kitchen table issues that affect everyday Americans .
Oh YEAH!!! they say ISSUES DONT MATTER the Obama campaign needs to run that.

“Palin: Some candidates use change to promote careers, McCain devotes his career to promote change.
I love it!!!!!!”
**************************************
And Palin disses every American who volunteered to further her Career.

Samantha-
Just stop. Really. No one is buying it.
lol

Palin can create waves. Waves in news media. Waves in opponents. People love to talk about this womAn. That is a change. Newspaper, magazine, Bloggers are making by writing about her, News channels are discussing about her. Now this is a “Change” and in contrast- How many of you even remember “Obama” or “Joe Biden” speech in DNC convention? I bet the only ripple I saw in the DNC convention was about How Hillary did her job? Her Speech and Her Body language. This two guys did not even create a “ripple” and needed “Hillary” to create that. How are they going to in White House?

If Obama doesn’t tune in fully to Palin’s speech, how will he lead our country. Obama has been said to be a lazy kind of guy.
Yes We McCain.

I lean democrat but watched the whole RNC. WHAT IS THERE PLAN? VISON? How are they getting us out of the war how are they preventing future wars? How are they going to fix our economy? immigration? Health care? Social security? Anyone hear any of this brought up maybe I missed it? They demanded it of Obama they should demand it of themselves as well. They need to own some of there failures instead of blaming everyone else,then formulate a plan to move past those failures and prestent it.

I saw some of Gov. Palin’s speech last night. She did well for someone who didn’t get much time to prepare. She said what her fellow party members wanted to hear. She took shots at her opponent. She did what she was supposed to do. She didn’t say anything that made me say “Wow, I’m voting for her”. As well as she did last night, her speech didn’t change the fact that when I filled my car with gas this morning, it was a lot more expensive that it should be, & given the fact that her husband is a big time oil executive, I don’t see her really being concerned with us little people & our gas concerns. Her speech didn’t address the rising costs of a college education. Her speech didn’t change our country’s situation in Iraq. Her speech didn’t change our country’s housing crisis. Sure, she laid into Barack Obama. Does it really take anything special to do that? In the end, Gov. Palin gave hope to a party that was in desperate need of it, but did nothing to address the issues of this country. It appears that this the game plan of the Republicans, ignore the issues & tear into Obama & Biden. She’s talks tough & that’s fine, but don’t cry sexism when her opponents talk tough back to her, which I’m hearing a lot of. I want to hear some solutions to these problems, I don’t want to continue to hear rip jobs, which the GOP is doing a lot more of than the Dems. I question her judgment, to jump knee deep in an hotly contested presidential election when you have a very young, special needs baby & a pregnant teenage daughter at home. I saw a lot of “Family First” signs in the GOP crowd last night. Is family really first with Sarah Palin? She has 5 kids & only 1 is grown. Who’s raising the kids, the big time oil executive husband? I doubt it. Some people don’t mind having nannies raise their kids. I believe in raising my kids myself. She did good last night, but she didn’t change my mind. The Republicans have torn this country up. It’s time for something new.

Maybe it was Limbaugh who wrote her speech. McCain was running on Experience. That was a strength for him. So he picks someone that has no experience at all to further his cause?? Not sure he thought that through very well. McCain’s people didn’t vet her. Why didn’t Palin talk about the economy?

Sarah Palin?
America, could you really be so ignorant as to vote for this person?
Wake up people, before we get taken to the cleaners…..AGAIN
We need brains next to the nuke button, not a nutcase who believes in angels, rapture, and speaking in tongues.

get ready folks
noun verb POW
noun verb palin
drill drill drill
win the war (whatever that means)
POW
tax cuts (now)
POW
AND OH YEAH
POW

momof2,
And Obama ran on change, and then picked the biggest Washington insider there is.
Ouch.

Obama has given several uplifting and inspirational speeches and Repubs were all over themselves mocking his oratorial skills.
Palin gives one nasty and cutthroat speech and Repubs have seen the Light.
Sorry guys, but a pitbull with lipstick on is still a pitbull. Nobody likes pitbulls.

Trish, Trish, Trish,
I guess you haven’t gotten the memo. All your lies have been debunked.
Especially that Alaska Fringe party one – even the NYT had to retract that one.
Keep it up though – you look desperate!

This is so insane when Barack was pounding the streets after he finish college.. be it at local politics and eventually to State , Sarah Palin was BUSY doing BEAUTY PAGEANTS and TV.
She was the one that pushing to be a STAR and it never happen for her.
Thats why she is angry and bitter.

I ran a lemonade stand when I was 5 yrs old and was “assistant” to the assistant head coach of a high school football team for 32 days. Oh YES WE CAN .. apply to be the New England Patriots head football coach!
Barack Obama

irma
she didnt write her speech… it was bushes speech writer… nice try though

Hey Jake,
Why don’t you report the breaking news of Obama’s connection to Saudi billionaire and a black panther. Come on! You wasted our time reporting falsely that Palin was a member of the Alaska separatist party.

Yes that Republican crowd sure looked strange. Where were all the people looking for a government handout?

Her teleprompter broke in the middle of the speech and you can’t even tell where it happened.
This gal is a pro. She was born for this job. She will be President after McCain.
A star is born. History was made. And you all should be grateful you were alive to see it.

belle star
what invesco fiasco?

And after tonight, Repubs will realize that it’s not Palin who is at the top of the ticket but it’s …
still McCain.

Clinton Supporters – I know people who work on MLK day and trade it for another day off .. who cares.

Obama and his campaign’s statesmanship is becoming more visible, because it contrasts so much to the McCain tactics. Palin and McCain’s going after the media has reminded some of the Nixon and Agnew attacks on the “liberal press” during the Watergate years.

kvnmng
you have proven your academic capacity by referencing from wikipedia.
but I must say that I was right on in my choice of words.

Sarah Palin is widely seen as a dangerous joke outside the US. McCain is seen as antiquated. Obama as uplifting and the hallmark of a new and prosperous relationship between the US and the globe. Biden as a foreign policy guru.
I know Americans hate it when other people make observations about their country and politics, but for those of you who understand that the world doesn’t consist of us and them, but only us and that we are in this together, I thought it might be nice to have an outsider’s perspective.

In a Thursday morning conference call for reporters organized by the Democratic National Committee, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius pushed back against the idea that Republicans have cornered the market on small-town American values.
“I live in the American heartland, and have been a governor [here] for six years,” she said. “I don’t know any mayor in any small town in Kansas — and we have a lot of mayors of small towns — who hires a lobbyist and goes after earmarks the way Sarah Palin did.” On Tuesday, the Washington Post reported that, as mayor of Wasilla, Palin secured more than $27 million in federal earmarks for a town with only 6,700 residents.

Nero McCain/ Pontius Pilate Palin.
Now I see what Country First represents.
We will all be POW’s of the republican party and like it.
Policy writers like Phil Gramm and all there loopholes will ensure this for years to come. THIS WAR ON THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE POOR.
THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS.

Shultz also questioned Palin’s readiness to lead. “To say that her experience as a mayor of a town of 7,000 people … makes her qualified to have her hands on the pillar of American foreign policy, if God forbid anything happens to John McCain, to suggest that is frightening,” she said. “What kind of experience does Sarah Palin have to sit across the table from negotiators of the dangerous countries of this world?”

“Some use change to promote their careers
Some like McCain use their careers to promote change”
“Obama and Biden say they’ll fight for you–but only one candidate truly has fought for you.”
How many people could perform that well after being attacked by the media and after having so many hopes riding on her performance?
Sarah Palin and John McCain are two tough people.

irma
those greek colums…. uhmmmm perhaps you have heard of a little place called washington DC… do you think obama was making a greek temple or referencing washington dc
wait before you answer… know this is a presidential election here in the US

It is very clear that the Democratic party are fighting and will be fighting for the people of this Nation.
I am excited about this article. I can see that the race has just begun. Obama and Axelrod in this interview alone have proven that they have good judgment and common sense and that they are the adults in this race.

Gee…Really….I thought it was all part of his Conquering the World tour.

Irma
what are the republicans doing for those middle americans
you claim obama is some elite and only works for the elite
but is it mccain or obama who is giving tax breaks to the wealthiest americans?
who is giving tax breaks to the middle class americans?
who has continually explained his plan for american and what he wants to do and how he wants to do it?
who has been in power for the last 8 years?

Gee…Who would have thought that the Republicans would be far better at exciting the disenfranchised DEMS.

Ryan c
36 african american delgates in the gop. wow that many
i think i saw 4 or 5 last night.
5% hispanics astonishing.
Country Club First

country first!!!
we propose…………. drilling!
what about the economy?….
the war?…. uhhh win?
how?…….. uhhhh surge?
health care?……
taxes?……….
energy? oh we answered that a million times drill!!!

Sarah wanted to have books banned,this shows where she would like this Country to go– backward! She showed that she can read very well, and she can follow the teleprompters,. What she did was to make a lot for money for the speech writer in the future! Matt you done a good job, better follow her around cause Sarah NEEDS YOU!

Palin had a speech that was written before she was chosen that she read last night…
and then “tweaked” after they chose her
unfortunately even after tweaking she still lied.
she still goes into hiding…
where is she …this great leader who oversees the most undiversified state government in the union? the government that is oy… secure and no risk because of the oil industry and the overwhelming amount of government subsidies out of the union…
the state whose legislation is only active 90 DAYS of the year to which she sat working with them for 20 months…oy…
the state that pushed with Palin for a bridge…that never came to pass but they kept the money that the federal governemnt gave them…oy
this woman is not only inept…mute outside of reading 2 speeches that were written for her…
she has had 2 count them 2 investigations into her abuse of power and cover up… one resulting in a law suit.
great speech… entertaining and fun…
too bad it’s like Robert Downey in the late 90′s playing a DEA officer.
oy.

No Jo, Sarah SAYS she’s done all those wonderful things. And they turned out to be false.
She did NOT oppose the Bridge to Nowhere; she supported it.
She did NOT oppose earmarks; she worked HARD to get them to her town and her state.
She did NOT oppose pork-barrel spending; she hired lobbyists to get as much as possible.
She did NOT decrease government; she increased it.
She was NOT a fiscal conservative; she left her town with a 20 millions in debt.
She did NOT clear the corrupt Republican Party in Alaska; in fact she chaired a committee in support of the most corrupt one: Stevens. In fact, Sarah herself is in some serious trouble over abuses of power.
Need I go on?

Thank God summer’s almost over…no more Obama kool-aid to go around.

I guess BO’s camp is proving Sarah’s ZINGERS are REAL STINGERS TO BO.

Biden makes comments against Israeli lobbyist group.
Says Iran is a tiny threat – reiterating Obama’s remarks.
LOOKING BAD FOR OBAMA.

harry
“authentic” the GOP convention
perhaps you are not seeing the reports of the factual discrepancies…ugh.
or that her speech was actually written before they chose her and then tweaked with her…
I guess you don’t need substance to be authentic…
or answers.
oy lol

I’m sure you do little Johnny.
I know people who work on Easter,Christmas,thanksgiving,presidents day. There birthdays,and right after graduation.
People who work a PT job after leaving there fulltime job, and then another PT job on the weekends. Just so they can take care of there families under Bush’s economic policies. You know the one McCain is behind 110%.
I know a solider who shook hands with President Bush, then went on his 5th tour of Iraq, lost both his legs, and came back to the USA as a unemployed American hero, and our government is giving him the run around regarding his benefits. Country First?
I know people that are still struggling to rebuild 3 years after Katrina. and the levee’s still aren’t totally fixed. Wouldn’t you think that would be a priority, considering what happened.
I know young men who drop out of school to work, so they can help their mother
feed there sisters and brothers.
So I ask you what’s your point, and what are the Republicans going to do to help people like that?

Sarah America is riling lefties badly.
It’s wonderful to watch.

Ha! Axelrod called Palin’s comment a ‘distortion’ regarding the fact Obama hasn’t AUTHORED any significant legislation. That’s because Obama took credit — with permission — for Emil Jones, Jr.’s work. She was right.
I loved her. Who says a Republican woman can’t be a feminist?

spock
you are funny
you see obama answered questions and wrote his speech
and he actually answers those questions when he is asked…and actually daily lets people ask…
he answers discussions…and 2 or 3 follow ups…
Mccain can’t go past one follow up…or he makes a joke or gets angry or says POW.
Palin…lol …
she can’t answer…I guess period…nothing in the speech…no interviews allowed…oy.
the worst VP candidate in the history of our nation.
Period.
yeah she’s qualified because she was a governor of the 48th smallest state in the union that has a legislature that only works 90 days a year and has the most solid economics because of federal government subsidies (from lobbyists you know the ones she hired ugh) and oil company revenues…
oh and ” Alaska is next to Russia”
oy

Sarah did a wonderful job energizing her party,I guess that was her job.
I mean they are used to all this hate that comes out there mouth. That should be there moniker.
ALL HATE-NO SUBSTANCE 2008.
But to people like me, who wonders what they are going to do to bring us out of the slump Bush put us in. They answered nothing. they just showed that America doesnt beleive in the things we preach to the world on a daily basis.
They showed me why they were so upset,that the world embraced Obama. I mean were about hate and war, not about peace and diplomacy. We wonderwhy people no longer take us serious. They showed you why last night.
I wonder how many babies, Sarah’s daughter will have by time she’s thirty with the self proclaimed alaskan redneck.I mean education is not something the Republicans value,its not even on the agenda. Its all about making babies and going to War cause its God’s will.

Fla Lady
no
a woman who doesn’t think women should get paid equally… thinks the governemtn should tell them when God happens…
and who think the overwhelmingly growing problem of teen pregnancies and the subsequent financial burden not only on the families but the state is cured by abstinence education but not allow education to the right of birth control to those same teenage girls…
should not be called a feminist.

Obama’s been vetted …literally for years now …ad nauseum
the American people are ready to throw their tv’s out the window with all the Obama vetting
2 days of vetting Palin…and the RNC calls the media “sexist”
my god you all aren’t that blind and stupid are you
to fall for the same tricks that got you the last 8 years.

Obama’s Illinois state record is a complete fabrication where he intentionally took credit and signed his name to legislation that was entirely the work of other Congressman. Why hasn’t the media (Obamedia) vetted him and informed the public of this fact? Oh, that’s right, they are more interested in DailyKos’ libelous rumors.

obamawho
the press was actually horrified to see a group of Americans stupid enough to fall for a speech that was straight out of 2004.
and 1984.
the same tactics that got us Bush…and a group of whack jobs in the hall…wallowing in the worst attributes of our humanity…
hyped up by the tricks that gave us this downward spiral of Bush and Cheny…
and they bought it hook line and sinker…
sad that we have that stupid of people that could fall for it again
meanwhile no answers…and no interviews.
sad

OnyCon – you’re right.

peach
as you asked me if I was clueless…
I would ask the same in return…
it is about the title not the actual work

Good maybe he learned something. And in reference to Axelrod. Obama did not Pen those laws, he jumped on on board with the people who penned them, maybe you can play these idiots on the blogs for stupid who don’t have a clue about legisliation and government, but not me, there are many polititicians that simply get their names on bills that have already been Penned, and he has not penned one law on his own that others jumped on board with, he is on everyone elses laws, if the idiots would do the research instead of spewing ignorance they would know better.

Just want to know why Bozo refers to Wasilla as “Wa-silly”…. and why can’t he refer to her as GOVERNOR. He loves to only give her credit as Mayor……TWO THINGS WITH MORE EXECUTIVE POWER THAN RUNNING HIS CAMPAIGN..YOU KNOW THAT THING THAT AXLEROD DOES, and his 300 advisors! Does anyone want their tax dollars going to the MOST ADVISOR DRIVEN PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME? No thanks.
HILL SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN

you p[eople all excited about Palin need to read.
she did not say anything last night of substance…some of what she said was factually untrue.
and she is not being allowed to answer in her own words…even Mccain’s campaign guy said yesterday that they tweaked the speech after they chose her.
this woman is inept on the knowledge and awareness of cultures and trade agreements and constitutionality of the federal government … she had to freakin ask what the VP actually did not two months ago…
this is a joke and why we got the last 8 years

Obama showed pretty good judgement when he oppossed the Iraq War, and I believe he said the war would cause dire economic issues for Americans, and we would suffer many losses.
Guess what. It happened.
Expierence means nothing if you dont have the common sense to use it properly.
I mean George Bush has a lifetime of expirence. He came out Of the great state of Texas as one of the most popular governors of all time. Yet all that expierence led us to where were at today.
A poor economy, eventhough
McCain says it just fine.
An Education system that is making it harder for our children to compete with people like China.
A weakened military, that can only get people to join, if they are promissed huge bonuses.
And more enemies around the world, including an unstable Pakistan, one which the Bush Adminstration provided with nuclear weapons.
Where’s the commone sense? Say what you want abt the community organizer,but the Iraq war can be traced to every major issue affecting americans.and he told you people that from the beginning.

What a shame O’Reilly caved to accomodating Nobama tonight before the convention for that interview Bozo promised months ago. I’m disappointed in O’Reilly, but he wants ratings and Obama wants to be seen big time before the Rep. convention. I hope they air the Gov. Palin bio tape that they didn’t have enough time to air last night….I saw it narrated by Jon Voight and it was great.
Hill supporter for McCain/Palin

Peach,
What part of recent Supreme Counrt rulling limited the time one has to sue do you not understand?

y.sister: Well said and bravo!

Easy to say you were against the war when YOU COULDN’T EVEN VOTE FOR IT. Of course BO would have voted “present” anyway….Hill, Biden, and McCain were more involved at every level and did what many Americans were in agreement with at the time….so soon after 9/11…if any of you can remember the emotinal climate in our country at that time.
Give me a leader with life experience and courage and JUDGEMENT not to hang with anti American, terriorist, criminal, racist friends and associates…..that more than his lack of experience was a deal breaker.
HILL SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN

So did Obama call her “sweetie”?

NBC said that Obama lifted entire portions of his convention speech from An American President and West Wing.
Is Obama absolutely SURE he wants to pursue this “Bush staffer wrote the speech” mantra?
And Biden has plagiarized speeches more than once. It might be best for Obama bin Biden to drop this particular area.

BTW “present” votes in the IL legislature count as no votes.
IL legislature has some interesting eccentricities one being the ability to vote present.
45 of Obama’s present votes were part of coordinated political manuveuring during budget battles between the Dems and GOP.

Man oh man are those repubs lazy. No substance at all in that speech of hers last night, such a hypocrite, no facts, it will be fun when the press starts asking her questions about “end times” and “her religious beliefs” will scare most Americans away. And her husband is un-American as he wants Alaska to be it’s own country. Like he belonged to AIP and she delivers speeches to them. This gal looks good in jeans and that’s about it.

“I think it is wrong to use your children for political gain (especially one so young. That convention hall was deafening!)”
_______________________________________
From what I saw, the baby was sleeping soundly and lying in his sister’s arms.Cute shot of her fixing his hair. Maybe Palin wanted to know where her child was and not in a hotel room with strangers. Obama’s kids were on stage the night of his acceptance speech.
Blah Blah Blah

Again your proof for Denzel being a Republican is that you are Vp of his midwest fan club right?
Even though he’s never sent a dime to any candidate until Obama.

The same lack of shame you Obamabots show in accusing a women of being a neglectful mother because she brings her baby to her acceptance speech as VP candidate and the convention noise is deafening. I am sure someday that young man will see that tape and be glad that he was visibly a part of history and that very important moment in his mom’s life.
The trouble with BOTs is that fairness has no part in your repertoire of fear. I am fine with Obama’s kids being on stage and I don’t accuse him of exploiting or endangering his kids. Obama could have come up with tons of hypothetical nonsense to not allow his daughters to share that moment. God forbid they are harmed. God forbid McCain or anyone dies in office.
Clean up your act Obamabots and stop being whining hypocrites. You sound like such a bunch of losers.

My uncle did not die on the beach at Normandy to see a marxist, community organizer in the white house. Go John and Sarah!

More than likley Indy voted for Bush or Nader in 2000. End of story.

sending her son to iraq–wonder how she would feel if he gets killed for the benifit of —CHINA—

After reading these entries (when I should be doing something much more productive) I am really struck by how people can come away from last night with 2 completely different takes on what actually happened. But, for those who have blinders on, here’s what actually happened last night:
1. A GOP-groomed politician with no real substance and off-the-map radical social policies read a speech off a teleprompter that was written by somebody else for somebody else. She read it well, hit all the write pauses and applause lines, but it was recitation nonetheless.
2. This politician was picked by another politician – one who is aging, outdated, and doing whatever he feels necessary in his last chance to succeed. This includes placating a ultra-conservative, ultra-religious wing part of his party that really he does not agree with, but is willing to side with for political expediancy.
3. Rather than pursue an honest discussion about issues of consequence to this country, which would require knowledgable, experienced, confident discourse, she resorted to name-calling and insults. No policy, only pandering.
So, where does that leave us? Well (and I’m paraphrasing here), when the cloud of rhetoric dissipates, and the words end, and the soaring speeches are over, we’ll see her for what she truly is: an empty (pants)suit. And all her so-called historic candidacy proves is that a woman can be every bit as hateful, close-minded, and misguided in her vision for the country as a man.

Off the subject here and a break from politics, did people see the little daughter of Sarah lick her hands to comb baby Palin’s hair.?? This probably was the best NON-political moment.

Samatha: Yes, Obama did throw Hillary under the bus. He, Pelosi, Dean and Reid talked to the superdelegates about their voting. I would take bets on it that they promised them favors for voting Obama. Pelosi was so feared that she told Hillary to count only 32 states and cancel the roll call because she suspected Hillary would win over Obama. The DNC are underhanded and worse than a rat. Especially Nancy Pelosi who whats to be the woman in charge. I hope McCain wins this election and the republicans take back the house.

Palin/McCain…I think he’s the VP. I feel sorry for you folks that just don’t understand that McCain doesnot care about this country. You must see McCain revealed on CNN. Obama is has a stuttering problem. His stammering is not dishonest and calculating. You must check-out McCain and Obama revealed on CNN. This country is in really bad shape. War is not not
what’s up. Bushes dad bought him a Yale degree. The boy does not have a clue. Obama can get the job done. You will see because he is going to win.
