Oh, That Joe! (No. 15 in a Series) — Biden Distances Himself From an Obama-Biden Ad

Come on, he uses his fingers to work the Blackberry he invented, shoulders have nothing to do with it,plus there is voice software. Come on Joe be YOU. We in Pa love you for being who you are…nothing matches the lies they are telling. Where is the OUTRAGE against it

Biden is sabotaging Obama’s campaign. Damn it, Joe.

McCain is out of touch.

Cant wait to see the ads coming out where Palin is praising obama during the primaries
oh yeah and the one where she is asking for a job description for VP

Are you serious? McCain can’t click a mouse button because of WAR WOUNDS, pullleease. He writes, shakes hands, eats and drinks using those hands, this is crap. Poor ole John, Booo Hoooo. Well if he’s SO VERY VERY disabled, maybe he’s TOO disabled for the job.

That “gaffe” is an example of why people, even those of us who are not supporting his candidacy, have real affection for Joe. That was a sincere statement– he thought that particular ad was inappropriate. Things like that, and the time he called for a wheelchair-bound politician to stand up, are not reasons to ridicule him. They are what make him authentic.
now, his clever little statements about Gov. Palin were far less charming to me. He was doing that clever put-down without appearing to put-down stuff– “I have a hard time preparing to debate her because I don’t know what she thinks, what her positions are.” Really, Joe? Your people haven’t taped any of her speeches, like that knock-out one at the convention? Your people haven’t looked at her record as governor or as chair of the alaska oil commission or as mayor? You think you know her, and you want to sound dismissive of her as an unknown without appearing to be dismissive. Sorry, Joe, that one didn’t work.

Joe Biden is my senator, and I can tell you, he is distraught by this campaign. I can see it in his body language. I feel sorry for him, but at the same time, I’m going to give him some slack. He is taking one for the team. Barack Obama owes John McCain and apology.

I just hope if somehow, McCain is able to pull through and wins, although I have to admit that Obama supporters are just too strong, McCain is able to raise his arms higher than he has ever been to celebrate his victory.

What difference does it make if McCain doesn’t or can’t use a computer? Email is a drag on the American workforce. It wastes a lot of time. Personally, I don’t really bother with it. If McCain chooses not to use it, so what? It was a stupid ad.

McCain could use voice technology. People who are paralyzed from the neck down use email. McCain just didn’t want to learn something new. I can appreciate that because I’m almost his age and I don’t want any challenges, either. But I’m retired; I just putter around my own little life. McCain wants to run the world.

Awwww, McCain’s shoulder’s ache so he can’t type . . . maybe if he wasn’t such a big fat liar I could believe that . . . as it stands, I don’t believe it for one minute.
The ad was FAIR because John McCain said himself that he was LEARNING, so if he is LEARNING, that must mean it is LEARNABLE, therefore all the excuses being made for this LIAR are just a BUNCH OF BULL.
McCain is out of touch because:
- He doesn’t know how many houses he has
- He doesn’t know how many cars he has
- He doesn’t know the difference between an American made and foreign made car
- He doesn’t know who the Prime Minister of Spain is
- He doesn’t know about Carly Fiorina’s golden parachute
- He doesn’t know about Sarah Palin’s earmarks as govenor
- He doesn’t know that his campaign manager Rick Davis took 2 MILLION DOLLARS from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac to provide “access” to John McCain
Either John McCain is a BIG FAT LIAR or he has ALZHEIMER’S!
Either way, he is UNFIT TO LEAD!

Barack Obama learned from the best. He never does anything unintentionally and Biden knows it.

How many presidents before Clinton used the computer? Answer none. You don’t have to know how to use a computer to be a good president. All Obama and Biden accomplished with the ad was to offend most voters 40 and older. Keep em coming Obama, the hole is getting deeper, in 6 weeks it’s going to cave in.

Kay,
It’s easy to hide behind the computer stuff, but the point of the ad is that McCain is out of touch with Main Street.
I provided a LONG and PARTIAL list of things John McCain said he doesn’t know.
Did I mention the ECONOMY is one of those things?
What do you think about that? Have all President’s known nothing about that too Kay?
Face the truth and quit trying to hide behind phony outrage – we are facing a financial crisis and we are going to send in two folks who know nothing about the economy, one of which helped create this mess?
And you are whining about a computer in an ad? People are dying Kay – time focus on the REAL ISSUES. This is not a popularity contest – this is our future!

McCain cannot use a computer. Has he disputed this? No he has not. He is completely out of date. I don’t understand why this is even an issue.

If the old fart cannot use a computer, why is that unfair game?

Typical – Critique of McCan’t is met by a reference to his war wounds, while any mention of Palin’s incompetence must surely display reprehensible cheavanism. It sickens me to hear reporters say that Biden should “go easy” on poser palin as not to disturb any mindless sensibilities. Don’t back down, Joe. Now is not the time to appease those who will not recieve your vote regardless. McCain is an out of touch old geezer who can’t even use a computer, and it has nothing to do with his disability.

I agree with ‘Clo Sheridan’! This is complete crap. McCain shoots low and now Obama can’? Come on! I will agree the Obama is a fool for stooping to his level but he had a right to. But more importantly, this is another reason why Joe Biden should not be on the ticket. He keeps going off message! Obama camp please get someone who can stay on message.

Where’s that damn button? I know it’s around here somewhere, looked kinda red last time. Cindy???

Whoa Nobody’s fool–calm down. This blog is about the stupid ad Obama put out about McCain’s lack of computer experience. The fact is, it was a low blow since McCain can’t lift his arm high enough to type. Cindy combs his hair for him.
If you want to rant about the economy, well, Obama doesn’t know anything about either. In fact, all I’ve heard from Obama is we need reform but he hasn’t outlined what he’s going to do. He’s stayed pretty mute on the bail out crisis.
If you are refering to the war when you said people are dying, well I know about that too, since my husband is in the military and I know many other good people who have served in Iraq. If you want to be outraged on behalf of the people who are harmed in war, well McCain had almost every bone broke in his body. What no sympathy for him? He served our country too.

While he may have some pain from his injury, I doubt it prevents him from using a computer. I bet he doesn’t use one simply because he doesn’t have any interest in learning new things. By the way, he flew some after rehabbing for the injury.

It’s hilarious to read the whining from the McSame supporters here. McSlime is running the most dishonorable campaign in modern history and now you morons whine about Obama hitting back. Sorry but the Democratic candidate is allowed negative ads as much as a republican. I receive a push poll call taht asked me if I was concerned if blacks would riot if Obama was successful. Screw you people!

Key: “How many presidents before Clinton used the computer? Answer none.”
This is wrong. Bush the elder used a laptop.
More important than whether you USE a computer is that you understand the nature of today’s information culture and economy. Sadly, McCain fails on both points.

Sounds like Biden got corrected by the marketing department there at the Obama camp. He is a strong admirer of McCain’s .

spacerock, have ever had carpal tunnel or repetitive strain injury? Well, I do and I can say that clicking the mouse hurts my hands and wrists and elbows. I am right handed and I have trained myself to use the mouse with my left hand because I can’t use my right hand caus eof pain and numbness. Obviously you are too ignorant of the subject to make an inteligent assesment of McCain’s hand and arm problems. Old injuries hurt.

Oh yeah, remember back during the times when democratic candidates were trying to get nominated, Biden stated that Obama was not ready to lead and the presidency doesn’t lead itself to on the job training. That’s funny. Great job Biden, you are doing well for McCain. Haha. Obama served one term in the Senate. Truly inexperienced.

Let me guess, Biden is sooooooo upset and will drop out of the race so Hillary can step in. Surprise surprise!!

This ad was stupid because the people who the Democratic campaign should be targeting right now do not consider that someone who doesnt use the internet is out of touch. They wasted money and looked bad on this one, I hope they don’t repeat this kind of mistake again, we don’t have a lot of room for errors. Dems should hit the GOP hard, really hard, but on things like bad judgement, greed, McBush, lobbyists, economic crisis, failed foreign policy, McCain’s record of voting against raising min wage, against women’s rights, against regulations protecting consumers. Expose McCain and the GOP for what they are, just 4 more years of failure.
Barack Obama President 2008

He can say it’s mean spirited but it is certainly relevant. We do not need a Cold War, 20th century mentality leading this nation in the 21st century. So many things have changed, we cannot stagnate with backward, outdated philosophies.

Hey Miguel! I hear ya! That’s my ticket too. Get that do nothing Dole out of office.

Gabriel Feher | Sep 22, 2008 10:58:40 PM
questions ads on both sides, but somehow mentions only the McCain ad on sex education for kindergarteners. But Byron York in NRO made a very persuasive case with meticulous proof that the McCain ad was 100% correct!
http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=NzI3ZDUzOTE0ZThlMTU3MTY0MDI4ZTY0MTZhY2I2MGY=
As for Obama’s ads — Consider the views of Ruth Marcus, who is a Democrat, and who wrote an excellent column in the Washington Post about the dishonesty of the Obama campaign ads.
Here is a part of what Ruth had to say, as was noted in Powerline, here:
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/09/021580.php
“Obama has descended to similarly scurrilous tactics on the stump and on the air. On immigration, Obama is running a Spanish-language ad that unfairly lumps McCain together with Rush Limbaugh — and quotes Limbaugh out of context. …
Obama has been furthest out of line, however, on Social Security, stooping to the kind of scare tactics he once derided.
“If my opponent had his way, the millions of Floridians who rely on it would have had their Social Security tied up in the stock market this week,” Obama said Saturday as he campaigned in that retiree-heavy state. “Millions of families would’ve been scrambling to figure out how to give their mothers and fathers, their grandmothers and grandfathers, the secure retirement that every American deserves.”
This is simply false — even leaving aside the incendiary language about “privatizing” Social Security. As the invaluable FactCheck.org noted, the private account plan suggested by President Bush and backed by McCain would not have applied to anyone born before 1950. It would not have changed benefits by a single penny for current retirees like the nice Florida folks that Obama was trying to rile up. …
Obama’s ads on Social Security are equally misleading. “Cutting benefits in half, risking Social Security on the stock market,” it warns. “The Bush-McCain privatization plan. Can you really afford more of the same?”
Cutting benefits in half? As FactCheck notes, “this is a rank misrepresentation.” …
To Democrats who worry about whether their nominee is willing to do whatever it takes to win: You can calm down.

it was clear that Obama didn’t like Biden’s response to Katie so Obama’s spin team went into gear and created a “proper response” from Joe. Obama is sick!!!

“Obama is financially connected to the Fannie and Freddie groups and therefore must have been responsible for the downfall!”
—————
ALTHOUGH he did nothing to shore them up, he wasn’t responsible for their downfall..
HOWEVER, he was the second biggest receiver of their kickbacks… and he was there the shortest time!
NcCain pocketed $15,000, a piddly sum compared to the short-termer’s $178,000;
some say Obama took even more!
In Illinois, Obama took in a lot of pork from his friends, including Rezko, who would put in for funds for low income housing and then let the pproperties go to pot, and default on payments.
Even today in Illinois, there is at least one such development begun under B O’s watch.. which is still an un-finished eyesore.
So, yes, although Obama wasn’t a big spender (back then) when it came to low -income housing and the current mortgage debacle, Obama was a BIG albeit relatively obscure player … especially when it came to cashing in.
I wonder if any of this money was ever declared on his taxes?
Naaah!

McCain supporters:
Seeking someone to explain why Palin/McCain lies so much – can anyone explain?
In your world, do the facts matter, or are you in some kind of conservative fantasy dreamland where you only answer the questions you write like your candidates?
You keep changing the subject, but you won’t answer the question.
Predictable.
Sweet dreams – but of course you all dream day and night! lol

Gov. Palin to Congress: “Thanks but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere. If Alaskans wanted a bridge, we’d build it ourselves.
“AMERICANS TO OBAMA: “THANKS BUT NO THANKS ON THAT SPEECH TO NOWHERE. IF AMERICANS WANTED A SPEECH, WE’D WRITE IT OURSELVES.”

First, I think Sen. Biden’s comments show that Obama is a strong enough leader to bring someone on board that can think independently and will challenge and inform him – much like Lincoln surrounded himself with smart people who often disagreed. What a contrast to the pre-programmed, totally scripted and unavailable Palin. Second, I know quadriplegics and people in their 90′s who use the computer regularly – in fact rely on it. Physical handicaps are not prohibitive by any means. But what McCain’s lack of interest in learning to use a computer does show is a significant lack of curiosity about the future and progress. And it MUST make us wonder about his ability to comprehend and make decisions about a significant technology that is completely intertwined with the national and international economic, information and communication policies and functions. It just feels like McCain wants the world to go backward not forward – but progress marches on and going back will just continue to erode America’s place in the world. No matter how much McCain may wish it so, this is not 1980 and never will be again.

Obama thinks he’s Lincoln, now Mom of Twins thinks he’s Lincoln! Geeeeze … duhhhh

This excuse about the “war wounds” keeping McCain from using a computer is a bunch of malarkey. I know blind and deaf people that use a computer. There is technology now (that McCain is likely unaware of) that enables people with different disabilities to use a computer.
If McCain were trying to crank out code every day on a computer, like me to a certain extent, he might have a legitimate excuse, but not for regular but occasional correspondence and reading.
I believe not using a computer in this day and age is a legitimate issue, and does put one out of touch. Gone are the days when a computer is considered an exotic device, only accessible by geeks or technology experts. The computer is now a basic tool of communication and information access.
There is nothing false about hope.

Seriously, Kay, you’re kidding me right?
What lies?
- Thanks, but no thanks on the Bridge to Nowhere?
- Palin has not requested earmarks as govenor?
- Barack Obama is going to raise taxes on the middle class?
- Barack Obama is going to raise taxes on people making $42,000?
- Sarah Palin fired the cook and sold the plane on ebay?
- John McCain has never requested an earmark?
- John McCain opposed deregulation of financial markets?
- John McCain has always bought American cars?
All LIES Kay! This is just off the top of my head. I could give he/she a pass if they didn’t keep REPEATING THE LIES after they have already been debunked!
Do some research Kay – John McCain is taking you for a ride.

w_roos, If you believe it, it must be true…..
“There is nothing false about hope”.
That’s deep

I’m voting for Palin/McCain cause I want all of mine and your children to be sent half way around the world, to fight for a cause that changes with the wind, and consider themselves Georgians all while their parents retirement is getting sucked up by deregulation and corporate greed.
Isn’t it great to be a Republican this year!

Posted by: w_roos | Sep 22, 2008 11:51:35 PM ………….. Every one is not a geek nor do they feel they need to use something that Has no relevance in their lives. Most people don’t need it. Yet the fad is forced upon everyday people by geeks who cannot see the world past their keyboard. I find Microsoft blue screens of death a good reason to stay off computers.Vista is a great example of why computers are not woth having. Built in spy ware.

Funny real funny all these posts about using a computer. Who really cares if he can or can’t it does not matter, in fact it might be better that he doesn’t and then he might really meet face to face with people instead of sending a email. Obama couldn’t even announce his VP pick he had to do it on email. I am not really all that into someone using it and I was a IT manager for years.

McCain earmarks:
The Nov. 6 article “McCain Breaks Own Pork Rule” inaccurately stated that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) violated his own rules against so-called “pork barrel” spending. The Senate Parliamentarian’s office maintains that the provision was properly authorized in the Senate-passed version of the fiscal 2004 Defense authorization bill and did not need to be signed by the president to be considered “authorized,” as the article suggested. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), chairwoman of the Appropriations subcommittee on military construction, told Roll Call that McCain never asked her to put the $14.3 million project for Arizona’s Luke Air Force Base into the fiscal 2004 military construction bill

Foolish–since Ralph pretty much summed up Obama’s tax fiasco and filled you in on the Plane put on e-bay, let me add that every governor or Senator has earmarks, it’s good business for the good of the state they are representing, the problem is too many earmarks, such as Obama. He has the most earmarks and pork barrel spending of any Senator. McCain’s pork barrel $0.
As for the bridge to no where— was the bridge built?

vote mccain/palin

Kay..the bridge wasn’t built, nor the money returned which, to me, means she is still guilty of taking pork.

McCain is running for President; he is not applying for a secretary or data base clerk position . Americans will vote for him based on the trust, credibility, leadership, and the unique quality of the Commander and Chief. If he can not type 60 wpm, we will provide him with a voice recognition software that can type more than twice faster that speed. Americans need him to reform our government to serve the country and the people, to fight corruptions, to stream line spending, and to bring back Americans’ dreams, NOT SOCIALISM.

Ralph–thanks I was just about to comment to aksimo-If he’s from Alaska he should have known that Palin had the ferry system upgraded to the little town of Ketchikan, population: a few dozen, and put the money into new road construction throughout Alaska.
What, did he think she put it in her checking account?

Ralph-same here. Too much time on the computer is bad for you, I guess McCain will outlive us all. Have a good one.

akskimo – who cares? I don’t live there. Do it with your own money – not my tax dollars. I thought you Alaskans were a bunch of self-reliant libertarians who didn’t need any handouts… Guess I was mistaken. LOL

PalinPower – how is that ever gonna happen with McCain so far behind in the delegate count and slipping fast in the popular vote polls?

I seriously have grave doubts about anybody who thinks they can run the economy but has no clue how to use a computer. McCain is out of touch.

As I said, Obama liberal friends would lie and make up a cover story for the Obama supporter breaking the law. Democratic State Senator Mike Kernell is an Obama supporter.
I bet Obama’s liberal media friends will also write up a fake cover story about about how the Democratic State Senator Mike Kernell’s son hacked Governor Sarah Palin’s email account and posted it on the internet.

Listen folks, Palin is a joke. Women are NOT going to vote for her because she is a woman. Can we friggen move into the 21st century people? Do people think women are THAT stupid? REALLY? Palin would send women’s rights issues back 100 years. I don’t know about the women on this site, but there is no friggen way I’m going to let that happen.

That ad was so bad even Biden admitted it. I like his blatant lie in his statement later, pretending he never even saw the ad. Those men are a joke.
There is only one straight-talker in this election and that is McCain.

Even if he could use email why would he?
He doesn’t need a virtual life, he has a real one.

Barry Obama is the hypocrite of the century. He runs the most negative ads and campaign, and somehow the media and him spin it to make it seem like McCain is the negative one.
If Biden is ashamed of this ad, which he should be, I wonder what he thinks of the one where they claim McCain and his Republican friends are intolerant and think Mexicans are stupid and should shut their mouths. Yeah, where’s the hope and change in THAT one?
Obama is the biggest fraud of the century.
I miss Hillary.

//Listen folks, Palin is a joke. Women are NOT going to vote for her because she is a woman. Can we friggen move into the 21st century people? Do people think women are THAT stupid? REALLY?

This woman is voting for Sarah Palin. And millions of other women will too, and yes many will vote for her because she is a woman. What’s women’s rights issues? The right to get an abortion? How about the right for women to hold powerful positions? Isn’t that more important? How about women’s rights to be heard, to be respected, to govern, to be leaders?
Abortion is one issue, not every issue. And frankly, as VP, she does not have much say on those social issues.

The hysterical part of this thread is reading all the comments from Ds lauding Biden for his “honesty” in admitting the ad was terrible … until he retracted the statement two hours later!!! I guess Senator Biden got taken to the woodshed by the Obama campaign. And then … even better! he claims he hadn’t seen the ad!!! (you know, the one he said was terrible!!) And then some complete non sequitur about McCain running misleading ads (so that means it’s ok for the Obama campaign to run misleading ads too??) He is a total comedy!

Sarah is not ready to be president! McCain will most likely not live to fulfill his term. She can’t even speak without a script and then it’s the same cr@p over and over and over!

All of you republicans who say all Democrats do is “tax and spend” can eat your words. It’s the republicans that have left this country in the worse financial mess since the Great Depression. So much for the fiscally conservatives republicans. Its going to take Obama/Biden to get us out of this mess. McCain/Palin – Thanks, But No Thanks”. McCain can put her on his wife’s plane and fly her back to Alaska on November 5.
Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

McCain-Palin will make history this November. We will elect the first woman vice president of the US. Even Palin is more prepared for the presidency than Barack Hussein. She has had actual govermental responsibilities while Obama thinks that running a political campaign and doing community service for an america hating church is sufficient preparation. In fact, because of this so called “service” Obama now feels entitled to be the next president.

Obama probably gave Joe a scolding for undermining his campaign.
It looks like the honeymoon is over for the Democratic ticket.
Hmmmm… McCain and Palin are looking better all the time.
They get along and work well together, plus their party is unified.
That is the team of Mavericks I would want working for me in the White House.

Biden will soon be history.

Don’t you believe that children should be taught at home about “inappropriate touching” BEFORE they get to kindergarten?
So what would they be taught in kindergarten that would be grade appropriate? hmmmmm?
******
Kay:
It’s not the “earmarks” that are bad;
it’s the “pork bellies” that stink up the pot!
And as Emil Jones told Obama, his protege, “one man’s pork is another man’s steak”!
Obama, being a shrewd man when it comes to money, got the picture real fast and used it to the very best of his ability:
in earmarking Michele’s employer and affecting an annual increase in her salary of more than $200,00 per year.
in “assisting” his associates in gleaning low cost mortgages for building and re-habbing .
This was how Obama received much of the $175,000 in kickbacks from Fannie and Freddy.. and it should be noted that most of the properties on which the loans were taken were permitted to decline and the loans went into default!
And this is just a thimble full of the graft undertaken by Obama during his senatorial stay!
THIS is who you want for President!
As for me, though, I’ll take:
MCCAIN AND PALIN!

Obama/Clinton ’08

Even though Senator McCain may have war injuries and wishes to refrain from repetative motion including using a computer he could still use technology for the disable that use voice command! What a lame excuse! He truly is out of touch…I thank him for his service during the war and I am humbled by his commitment but enough already! He is sucking it as dry as the sand in Iraq.

Anyone that keeps signing blog entries with “Obama/Clinton ’08″ on the bottom of the messages is truly out of touch. Duh, it’s Obama/Biden ’08, for better or for worse. It’s obviously a subtly hope to win back the Clinton supporters that may be drifting around. And, likewise, questioning McCain’s faculties is very dishonorable and out of touch.

To Stockton from Oroville Cal—Obama had to learn to use the computer so as to carry on all his under-handed dealings with Ayers, Rezko, Wright, etc. and if he is so ‘in touch’ how come he didn’t know how many states we have and that the president serves a 4 year term, not 5. What a dumb ass—”I used to want to be a lawyer, now I are one”. As an Independent, I approve of this message, wholeheartedly.

[though as ABC News reported, the real reason McCain doesn't use a computer is because of his war wounds.]
The real reason is that McCain is stuck in the 50s.

McCain doesn’t type—that is what clerical staff is for. I am sure the white house has a secretary or two if an email needs to be sent. Obama was both an idiot and obnoxious for his ad.

Presidents don’t use email and kindergartener’s should stick to ABC’s not STD’s (sexually transmitted disease)which is what was included in the bill if Obama even read it.

McCain is not running for President. His Oil Tycoons are. They already run Wall Street with Oil. Ask them to lower the price. Say ‘NO’, to Tycoons against a Free America.

And another thing…just wondering. Given your premise that parents should teach their children about inappropriate touching BEFORE attending kindergarten, how would they do it “grade appropriate”?

Bill Clinton was a hero for burning his draft card. Quayle and GWB were burned at the stake for only serving in the National Guard. Kerry’s service alone should have got him elected. The fact that Obama nor Biden served while McCain spent 20+ years in uniform is irrelevant. Now they criticize how McCain copes with war wounds. …. The hypocrisy of the Religious Right drove me to the Democratic party. The hypocrisy of the left wing has now far surpassed that of the right.

Biden doesn’t even watch the Obama/Biden ads. Sounds like the rest of Americans.

continued
Instead, the list below concerns Obama’s associates and business dealings.
It is a sordid group, comprised of the America-hating, anti-Israel, and explicitly racial Left. There is big money involved, as with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and bizarre organizations to which money was funneled.
Obama’s milieu is the intersection of Chicago politics and the fringe Left; there is much to be explored and explained about Obama. Below is a partial list where Obama remains unvetted:
1. Trinity United Church of Christ. Obama’s 20-year membership in an explicitly racist church, a church with rhetoric too hot for Oprah.
2. Rezko. Obama’s ties to Tony Rezko and the 2005 purchase of the Obamas’ home. Obama funnelling money to Rezko’s sleazy businesses.
3. Ayers. Obama’s extensive ties to unrepentant terroist Bill Ayers.
4. Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). Obama and Ayers together dispensing tens of millions of dollars supposedly for educational organizations.
Although now just being investigated, it’s known that money was funnelled to Ayers’ friend, radical Mike Klonsky, a founding member of the Maoist Party of the United States.
5. Minister Louis Farrakhan. Obama is surrounded by people like Rev. Willie Barrow, a friend and admirer of the anti-white, anti-Semitic Farrakhan.
If the media doesn’t do their job, we may end up with this guy as President.

How is it that 97 percent of African Americans are voting for Obama.
Isn’t racism on both sides?

Mike I gues u don’t know african american usually votes democrat more than 90% in all the recent elections.
So there is nothing racist in it.

Oonogil and the rest of the posters here don’t realize it is perfectly acceptable for time-strapped people to pick up their cellphone and delegate responsibilities. A president doesn’t surf the web in place of briefings by his staff.
Executives don’t do secretarial work–they make decisions based on the input of their advisors. Their secretaries do the emailing and responding. Do you think a president wants to go ON RECORD for every statement he may make, offhand, in an email???
Get real. If Warren Buffet can get by without email (he doesn’t use it) then certainly a president of the US CAN AND SHOULD AVOID EMAIL whether or not he may be physically handicapped (no, not “challenged”).

Wow, all those comments and not ONE McCain supporter answered the queston “Why does the Palin/McCain ticket lie so much?”
Oh well, I guess the answer is clear . . .
That’s what liars do!
You reap what you sow folks . . . and Palin/McCain is sowing LIES.
Can anyone dispute that? Just say you don’t care, but don’t say it’s not true.
And no list of things about Obama is going to change the truth about your candidate.
Time to face reality folks. John McCain and Sarah Palin are not mavericks or reformers. They are lying politicians.
Period.

McCain/Palin ’08-’16 sounds really good.
By this time next year it will be Obama who?
If the Democrats in Congress had really felt that the war in Iraq was not right. It could have mustered the votes to oppose it and stop it.
They could have put there foot down and said no. But they did not, they thought of themselves first, the soldiers second and the American People last as usual. Now they play the anger card and sympathy for the lost sons and daughters, while they continue to dishonour those that have served this nation in every war with inadequate care, benefits and support groups.
Ill never vote DNC nor ever fight a war for them again. They are the scum of the Earth.

Well, Obama said he didn’t want to choose a “Yes Man” for VP. He got that!

“As an avid Hillary Clinton supporter, I am truly saddened by the horrible actions of the Democratic Party leadership that denied us a candidate who is much more qualified than Obama. If Hillary had not been mistreated and unfairly pushed out of the race that she had won, maybe a Hillary-Biden ticket would have been possible. ”

Sorry, but in America the person with the most votes wins. That person was Senator Obama.
No amount of whining is going to change that. Everyone played by the same set of rules. Everyone knew the rules in advance. Senator Clinton lost.
Part of being a grown up is accepting the good with the bad and facing reality.
We are facing too many big problems to be sitting around crying in our milk and pouting while the country goes to hell in a hand basket.
You don’t have to like Senator Obama, you just have to love your country more than you hate him.
Can you do that for us?
Real people are really dying and losing their life savings, so this is a little more important than “hurt feelings” this year.

I just don’t get Hillary supporters, like Robert, saying that she “won the race” and she was “pushed out unfairly”. What??? Where is that coming from? What reality is that based on??
It was a close race and got bitter there at the end, but how in the world can anyone think she won?! She had fewer votes. Period. The reason why she was pressured to exit the race before the very last vote was because it was mathematically impossible for her to win! Period. There’s no big coverup or scandal. Anyone with a 3rd grade math level could figure that out.
If her supporters are going to bring up Michigan and Florida – Hillary herself signed an agreement that they wouldn’t be counted – that is, until she realized she would need the results and started saying the opposite. Stop being so childish. Obama won. Either get behind him and support the Democratic platform or join the Republican party, but cut the BS historical revisionism.
The sexist attitudes toward Hillary were coming from the press and from some supporters of Obama, not from him nor his campaign. So, get over it and let’s get these repubs out of the white house finally!

Regarding a comment by LMartin | Sep 23, 2008 8:41:37 AM — your statement is wrong in one very important respect.
You say: “The Obama ad did NOT seek to denigrate McCain because of war injuriies [sic].”
No one said the campaign did it openly. That is exactly what is most deceitful and dishonest about the ad.
The fact is that human beings in the Obama Campaign, including Barry himself, knew that John has difficulty typing because of those injuries.
There were news stories about that fact going all the way back to 2000, and some even more recently. But Obama and the people around him decided to run the nasty ad anyway. And he and his campaign are now reaping the consequences — deservedly so!
By “distancing himself” from the ad, Biden is being a bit disingenuous too — and with his “update” statement (see above), he is all over the map.
Typical Joe Biden.
Why didn’t he just say, “That ad is disgraceful, and the campaign should pull it and we should apologize to John.”
Please explain why he didn’t do that?
I think we all know the answer to that. You Obama/Biden supporters are willing to see them do anything to win — even dishonor a man for war wounds he received on YOUR behalf.
Sarah Palin is exactly right. In spite of what Obama and Biden claim now, John McCain really is the only one who “fought for you.”
Did Joe Biden ever fight for this country? No.
Mr. “I wanted to be a professional football player” got himself student deferrments and stayed in school, thus avoided being drafted. When they ran out, he suddenly found something “wrong” and got himself a 4-F status.
Everyone who went through that time knew that some doctor somewhere would be willing to write that letter about a “condition” that would get you out of the draft. Everyone knew it!
Let’s see that letter, Joe.

McCain is running a dishonorable slimy campaign. Oops! Can’t say that because he is a former POW. McCain is computer illerate.Oops! Can’t say that because he is a former POW. McCain is old.Oops! Can’t say that because he is a formor POW.Oops! Can’t say that because he is a formor POW. McCain picked the most incompetent VP ever.campaign. Oops! Can’t say that because he is a formor POW.McCain never wants to talk about his POW status in the campaign! BS!

“Obama spent a million dollars on consultants to tell him how he could show he was better qualified than McCain – their answer: TYPING!!!!!! ”
That’s just too funny.

Wait until Senator Obama’s crutch
( tele-prompter ) is taken away
Friday night.
McCain can’t type, Obama can’t think.

When Your running mate criticizes the distorted assertions in It’s Own commercials…Well thats something You cant ‘get around’

Nobody’s fool:
You are confused, it is Obama who lies everytime he opens his mouth. I have never heard him say the same thing twice. He changes his positions depending on who his audience is.
Last week, I distinctly heard him say he supported Paulson’s bailout plan, this morning on the TODAY show with Matt Lauer he said he did not agree with it.
He became the nominee because he said he wanted to withdraw from Iraq immediately, now he says 16 months.
He said he was for tax increases, then tax cuts, now tax increases.
He said he was for universal healthcare, now he admits it would bankrupt the govt.
He supported the late term abortion bill, now he says he didn’t.
These are just a few, there are way more, but I’m not doing the homework for you.
As for McCain, he says the same thing at every town hall meeting and conference I’ve seen. Saddleback forum was the same talking points he has been saying.
Obama’s “like a box of chocolates”, you never know what you’re going to get.

If Obama didn’t know about the ad, and he claims that his experience running a political campaign is sufficient experience to run our country, shouldn’t he backup a step and take responsibility for the ad that he personally endorsed on national television?
Also, so what if John McCain chooses to not use the computer. My parents don’t use the computer – and they are very intelligent and well respected people as well – and they get along fine.

Dear S. Adams:
Thank you for taking the time to actually attempt to answer the question.
I appreciate it. However, I disagree.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“Last week, I distinctly heard him say he supported Paulson’s bailout plan, this morning on the TODAY show with Matt Lauer he said he did not agree with it. ”
Senator Obama agrees that something needs to be done, but he wants it done the right way. This is not a lie. This is called “thoughtfulness”.
Also, Senator McCain indicated in his 60 Minutes interview that he supported the bailout as well, and yesterday he was not so sure. What’s the difference?
It took more than a week to get into this situation, so a little “thinking” might be good, no?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“He became the nominee because he said he wanted to withdraw from Iraq immediately, now he says 16 months. ”
This is not true. Senator Obama has said REPEATEDLY that we need to be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in. That has always been his position. So once again, this is not a lie.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“He said he was for tax increases, then tax cuts, now tax increases. ”
Senator Obama is for tax CUTS for the middle class, and tax increases for the less than 5% of Americans making over $250,000 a year. That has been his position for the entire campaign.
That is also one of the biggest lies that Senator McCain keeps repeating – that Obama would raise taxes on the middle class. That is a LIE, and yet McCain keeps repeating it. Explain that.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“He said he was for universal healthcare, now he admits it would bankrupt the govt.”
Senator Obama is for universal ACCESS to affordable healthcare. His plan would allow those who are happy with their current insurance to keep it, and those who are not would be able to PURCHASE insurance at an AFFORDABLE rate. Those who are uninsured would be insured by the government, but that is not the same as insuring everyone as the McCain campaign continues to imply.
Senator Obama has indicated a willingness to modify his plans based on market realities caused by Republican policies like deregulation.
That is called GOOD GOVERNMENT. John McCain still claims he can balance the budget in his first term. Another lie? I think so.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“He supported the late term abortion bill, now he says he didn’t.”
Senator Obama does not support abortion, he supports a woman’s right to CHOOSE whether she will have the baby or not. Abortion is a bad thing, but it is also a personal thing. We can agree to disagree about this, but once again it is not a “lie”, it is a disagreement.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Once again, thank you for taking the time to respond, but as you can see, I have done some “homework” of my own, and I will continue to. I ask you to do the same.
