VP Fashion Face-off?
ABC News’ Matt Jaffe and Sunlen Miller report: When Joe Biden and Sarah Palin square off Thursday in the vice-presidential debate in St. Louis, their much-anticipated confrontation might now be considered a cosmetic competition. So what if Republican presidential nominee John McCain chose a former beauty queen to share his ticket? Democratic candidate Barack Obama thinks he’s got the best-dressed running mate around.
"Joe’s one of the best-dressed vice presidents that we’ll ever have," Obama said today at a rain-soaked rally at Virginia’s University of Mary Washington.
Obama even offered Biden the chance to take off early so as not to sully his smooth, suave appearance in the pouring rain.
"You look good, though, so if you wanna cut out that’s OK," he told his running mate, who stood up and pretended to walk off the stage to the delight of the crowd.
Call it a consequence of McCain’s Palin selection, call it what you will, but Biden’s dapper attire has clearly caught the eye of Obama, who cited his running mate’s wardrobe not once but twice in their first day campaigning together in the past month.
"One of the reasons I am so proud to be with Joe Biden, it’s not just his fancy foreign policy expertise, it’s not just because he’s a sharp dresser," Obama said earlier in the day in Greensboro, N.C., then pausing when he spotted some cheering ladies in the audience.
"I noticed a lot of women have been talking about Joe lately," said the Illinois lawmaker. "I noticed that. See, these girls right here!"
Not passing up any opportunity to jump on a moment of jest, Republicans promptly hit out at Biden’s biggest fashion fan.
"Obama’s statement that Biden is the best-dressed senator answers a lot of questions," said Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant. "Why else would Obama choose a running mate who recently called him unprepared to be president, slammed his votes to cut funding for our troops, and said he’d be honored to run on McCain’s ticket?"
Biden spokesman David Wade in turn, quipped, "600,000 jobs gone in 2008, eight straight months of job loss, the highest unemployment in seven years, more home foreclosures than at any time since the Great Depression, and I’d wager John McCain’s nicest pair of $500 loafers that finally the Republicans think they’ve found an issue that will really resonate on Main Street: Joe Biden’s clothes. But you can blame John McCain for being a little peeved — after all, just imagine the pressure to choose which suit to wear from among your dozens of closets in your seven homes."
"All right, its just trickling down a little bit here," noted Obama as the northern Virginia showers intensified. "That’s OK, I’m gonna have to get my dry cleaning going, too."
Or maybe just have his GQ running mate accompany him on a shopping spree…

Will someone please put Sarah Palin out of her agony? Is it too much to ask that she come to realize that she wants, in that wonderful phrase in American politics, “to spend more time with her family”? Having stayed in purdah for weeks, she finally agreed to a third interview. CBS’s Katie Couric questioned her in her trademark sympathetic style. It didn’t help. When asked how living in the state closest to Russia gave her foreign-policy experience, Palin responded thus:
“It’s very important when you consider even national-security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America. Where—where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to—to our state.”
There is, of course, the sheer absurdity of the premise. Two weeks ago I flew to Tokyo, crossing over the North Pole. Does that make me an expert on Santa Claus? (Thanks, Jon Stewart.) But even beyond that, read the rest of her response. “It is from Alaska that we send out those …” What does this mean? This is not an isolated example. Palin has been given a set of talking points by campaign advisers, simple ideological mantras that she repeats and repeats as long as she can. (“We mustn’t blink.”) But if forced off those rehearsed lines, what she has to say is often, quite frankly, gibberish.

COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
PALIN: That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the—it’s got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.
wwwwhhhhhhaaaaaatttttttt!!!!!!

Can we now admit the obvious? Sarah Palin is utterly unqualified to be vice president. She is a feisty, charismatic politician who has done some good things in Alaska. But she has never spent a day thinking about any important national or international issue, and this is a hell of a time to start. The next administration is going to face a set of challenges unlike any in recent memory. There is an ongoing military operation in Iraq that still costs $10 billion a month, a war against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan that is not going well and is not easily fixed. Iran, Russia and Venezuela present tough strategic challenges.

Of course Republicans will call that “a win”.

Michelle was at the debate. When Barack and John walked away from each other. John walked to Cindy and they embraced, then the camera went to Obama as he walked toward Michelle and they also embraced.
I was like you when I saw John & Cindy, I wondered where Michelle was. Because I didn’t walk away from the set I caught the scene of Michelle and Barack. I do admire both women.

Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker wrote a scathing article in the National Review Online lamenting that she could no longer defend the first-term Alaska governor’s placement on the Republican presidential ticket.
“Palin’s recent interviews … have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League,” she wrote. “No one hates saying that more than I do.”
Parker said the interviews revealed “there’s not much content there,” and she called on Palin to leave the Republican ticket.

Sarah Palin agrees with Obama !!!!!
(PHILADELPHIA) Sarah Palin told a customer at a Philadelphia restaurant on Saturday that the United States should “absolutely” launch cross-border attacks from Afghanistan into Pakistan in the event that it becomes necessary to “stop the terrorists from coming any further in,” a comment similar to the one John McCain condemned Barack Obama for making during last night’s presidential debate.
During Friday’s debate, Obama criticized the Bush administration for sending billions of dollars in aid to Pakistan without ridding the border region of terrorists.
“If the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them out,” Obama added.
McCain fired back hard, arguing that newly elected Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari has had his “hands full” and suggesting that Obama’s tough talk was naïve.
“You don’t say that out loud,” McCain said. “If you have to do things, you have to do things, and you work with the Pakistani government.”
Palin’s apparent disagreement with McCain’s position on Pakistan came as the Alaska governor was picking up a couple of cheesesteaks at Tony Luke’s in South Philadelphia. She was approached by a man wearing a Temple University t-shirt, who later identified himself as Michael Rovito.
“How about the Pakistan situation?” Rovito asked. “What’s your thoughts about that.”
“In Pakistan?” Palin responded.
“What’s going on over there, like Waziristian?”
“It’s working with Zardari to make sure that we’re all working together to stop the guys from coming in over the border,” Palin said. “And we’ll go from there.”
“Waziristan is blowing up,” Rovito replied.
“Yeah, it is,” Palin said. “And the economy there is blowing up, too.”
“So we do cross-border, like from Afghanistan to Pakistan, you think?” Rovito asked.
“If that’s what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should,” Palin said.
In her first national television interview after becoming the Republican vice presidential nominee, Palin was pressed by ABC’s Charlie Gibson on whether the U.S. should launch cross-border attacks into Pakistan. She said that the United States “must do whatever it takes” to thwart Islamic extremists and said, “America has to exercise all options in order to stop the terrorists who are hell bent on destroying America and our allies.”
But Palin did not, at that time, explicitly express her support for cross-border attacks, as she did at the Philadelphia restaurant on Saturday.
I say let her talk… she is doing wonders for the democrats…. she is slowly sinking McSame’s campaign.
For some reason ABC is so slow to get out news…. CBS has it going on and keeps their site upadated constantly.

Palin’s use of yahoo for state business is a crime.
Actually it is two crimes. if the GOP attorney general of Alaska were willing to uphold the law, she would be indicted already.
1. Use of yahoo to avoid state required ability to perform public inquiries. She is intentionally avoiding the possibility of people asking to see the record.
2. Use of yahoo is explicitly not meeting the requirement to have the emails backed up, so the person does not have the “let’s pretend I lost them excuse, like Cheney/Darth Vader, the current VP did about Iraq. He says he lost the emails pertaining to the runup to Iraq. Palin using Yahoo is an excuse to not provide the state with records of state business.
PS. We know she used Yahoo for state business, because her email titles were published by a citizen hacker. Writing to Gov of California was not personal mail. It was state business.
To avoid legal procedure to avoid the law is CALUMNY. Its a crime against the state.
PALIN is a criminal of the worst kind, one who keeps her state business secret. She is not in the KGB. She is merely a vindictive, corrupt governor.

McCain’s time as a POW was marked by TREASON.
He provided propaganda for the enemy.
And, in 2001 on Letterman, McCain provided FALSE propaganda which lead the USA into the war on Iraq.
He said he HAS a source which KNEW that Iraqi’s did the anthrax attack on Congressional offices.
PS> That attack was done from Maryland, by an American. The Iraqi song and dance was a crime by McCain. In peace and war, McCain has been a traitor.
He is no hero. He even supported Bush in not voting for the new GI bill because they were afraid not enough guys would re-up if they got good benefits, like the WW II vets got.

Obamabots like Becker who attempt to berate the military service of men like John McCain are pathetic.
John McCain had spent four years in a POW camp when he was told by his captors that he could leave.
John McCain’s first question was whether or not all of his fellow POW’s could also leave.
When he was told “no,” John McCain chose to stay until everyone went home.
And, he did stay, until they all went home.
As Bill Clinton put it, “John McCain is a real American hero.”
And, John McCain would have done the same…even for the likes of Becker or Omentum.

Watch CNN and MSNBC and CBS for WHOLE STORY, not the half truths on this site if you notice, they are like the Repulican guard…Vote INDEPENDANT Before McPalin Wins. Why hasn’t Bush speaken out about Mac Cains, mental stability. Bush and Mac Cain wants a lot more Nuclear material, around the world. A Free Market will allow, a REPUBLICAN guard ,Extremist group, to use Chemicals against a UNITED AMERICA. Please do not be so EXTREME,and Vote on Moral. Vote Independant. AMTRACK seems to be buying fixed records.
What if Richard Shelby, and Rick Davis, knew they could buy anybody they wanted.
It Fixed McCains Records, in the past. And Do not, forget how it bought, Nixons election. I am sure, that special interest groups, who have paid lobbiests, could fix any paperwork. Bush, had bought paperwork fixers, and now McCain will have to distance himself, from Rick Davis and Bush scandels. They made Obamas paperwork disappear before. After all, the FBI has been bought before.
Those special interest groups, are still on Wall Street, and in other postistion in HIGH Government. McCain should not Debate Obama. McCain is still best friends with Clinton, and has covered up Rick Davis’ Paperwork as best as he could. The ‘Secret Government’, is still in place. We WILL remember McCain has been in Government, a LONG TIME. Imagine that McCain has MORE POWER to fix the POLLS, and FIX PAPERWORK. How Will AMERICANS, Be able to trust a Secret Group of Capitolists.
Watch CNN and MSNBC and CBS. How many in the Senate are still corrupt. The Far Right Republicans, have been caught in Lies TOO.
So the question becomes, what happened to paperwork?
Well, America. You already Know, you can not, get into collage without a Birth Certificate, Which the Collage had on Record. Yes, I would ask WHY, it Disappeared.
OVER-SIGHT, of PAPERWORK RECORDS? The current government, has made people disappear BEFORE. WHY? Corruption? Buy offs?
Well, why has Presidant Bush, not given America, an answer, about Rick Davis support of Mac Cains Campaign, STILL has not been Questioned, in FRONT of the WORLD.
CNN and MSNBC and CBS, has shown MORE about BOTH Canidadates. Both SHOW mistakes made, by Obama, McCain, Palin, and Biden. Interesting…
.
The Out of Touch, Has been Caught Lying, to 95% of America on CNN and MSNBC.
WHY? Why has McCain flip-flopped, on the Senate Bill? The Senate, DOES NOT have the answer either. CNN and MSNBC ask ALL Senate Members. None of them can give an answer.
Call your Senate Office, and ask Why.
Watch on CNN and MSNBC as ALL the Senators, give the ANSWERS.
Be an INDEPENDATE VOTER. NO DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN VOTERS, VOTE UNITED. INDEPENDANT, and FAIR. Who has access to fixing Paperwork. ‘Free Marketers’ means NO PAPER WORK IS WANTED. Is Wall Street Crooks Gone Yet? NO. They are Trading Micro-Generator Weapons, Made by PAC’s, Through AMTRACK.
Is Paperwork Still Being Changed? YES. What will Corrupt Wall Street do? Hide the Money for Rick Davis? Another McCain and Davis’, Frankie Mac Cain campaign? Has BB&T been De-Regulated? NO. So WHO CONTRIBUTED MONEY? Thanks Girls at C-Span.
Keep CNN and MSNBC, updated…..You Just showed the world WHY the FAR RIGHT REPUBLICANS SENATE Can NOT AGREE WITH OTHER REPUBLICANS…. :) BOTH DEMOCRATS and INDEPENDENCE ARE ASKING FOR INVESTIGATIONS. Watch the reports on CNN and MSNBC and CBS
Notice how ABC has not reported on what happened to Rick Davis? But ALL of a sudden writes against Obama…
Why Did McCain NOT support, The Veterns of American ‘Bill’. Until Just Recently. Let’s see ABC report about this. Don’t be shy.
CNN and MSNBC reports about it.Or is ABC, slipping out of Touch.
McCain WAS for Torture TOO, before running for President. Thank You MSNBC and CNN, for letting us veterns Know.
Do you support McCains Lies Too?
Or His Aggressive stance on the World? You do not like the REPUBLICAN guard, in Iran or Iraq do you? If the Countries were INDEPENDANT or have a DEMOCRACY, in place, then the Capitolist Extremists, would lose their PAC’s, of the Middle Class, in those countries.
Why are Bush and some Senators, making Nuclar deals with India, when we are already WORRIED about, Nuclear Material. Bush goofed two years ago with Nuclear material. Now Mac Cain is talking about MORE NUCLEAR plants. Scary, real scary. Only CNN and MSNBC, report on these. CBS also has good reports on what is happining, with Mac Cain. Thank You guys. Look for Peace, without war.
Call your State offical, and have them explain why PAC’s ‘free market’ paperwork, is NOT audited.
Vote ‘No’ to Mac Can’t Look You in the Eye
Is Palin Missing?
Thank You CNN and MSNBC.
Vote Independant….Say No to Mac Cains BuyOut Plan….Morgages for OIL.
Palin says Alaska Trades With Russia….Watch CNN and MSNBC for Updates, or go to MSNBC.com
McCains ‘Free Market’, let loose Nuclear Waste, and HE WANTS MORE.. CALL the SENATOR AND VOTE INDEPENDANT..
CNN and MSNBC calls ABC and FOX out…MSNBC and CNN wants to interview ABC and FOX, about MISINFORMATION.
ABC and FOX say….No. Ask them Why Not
Go to MSNBC.com and CNN.com.
Or watch MSNBC and CNN and CBS
Watch Palins Comments at Ground Zero, why she is Glad we are in Iraq.
She wants Everybody to come to Iraq? See Why, on CNN.

Even Republican Friendly Sources Can’t Hide the Truth:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama attracting 50% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This six-point advantage matches Obama’s biggest lead yet (see trends). Obama is now viewed favorably by 56% of voters, McCain by 54%.

On October 2 the pit bull WITHOUT teeth will meet Joe Biden, the BARRACUDA and GREAT WHITE SHARK of the Democratic party who will take on your little sweetie pie Sarah Palin. NO, he will NOT do a hatch job on your little cupcake and he will be polite, and respectful, but nonetheless once the “debate” as such if you want to call it that is over you can pick up her guts because they will be laying all over the floor! After that it will be time for your Republicans to do what you have to do and replace her with someone with real teeth. I predict that whoever that new VP candidate is will have another and far more lively debate with “Uncle Joe” just after the last presidential debate and before the end of October.

To all those who are posting comments here. You need to realize and understand that both many misfits posting here that only want to spread hate and nasty propaganda and who are NOT republicans at all, but only pretending to be. What they REALLY are is either racial bigots or skin head NEO-NAZI members of the Aryan Nations. Hitler lovers who try to spread their twisted hate and racial bigotry in the name of the Republican Party. While I am a Democrat I have many good friends who are Republicans and yes, we do argue back and forth with one another, but I have NEVER hear a nasty 4 letter cuss word from any of them. Religious people do not talk like they do and neither do responsible Republicans. Just totally ignore them as their post are meaningless, without merit and TOTALY IRRELEVANT!!!! This also goes for you both Republicans and Democrats that while you may not use cuss word you mouths are nevertheless vile and your words disrespectful to others and their point of view. If you cannot present your case is a proper and civilized way please do all of us a favor and stay off of these posts!

Obama needed Missouri Governor Matt Blunt to tell him he was violating the first amendment of the Bill OF Rights of the American Constitution. That shows everyone that governors have more knowledge about executive powers than Obama. Well, I guess that sums it all up for Obama. He is a know nothing lawyer when it comes to executive powers.
Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska and she knows more about executive powers than Obama. She could very easily run the United States of America’s executive position better than Obama. Obama is a lawyer and doesn’t even know the American Constitution. That even makes Sarah Palin more knowledgeable than Joe Biden. That makes Sarah Palin more qualified for the Vice-Presidents position than Obama or Biden.
JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.
“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts – not a free society.”

There is a serious problem with respect for women in politics. It is so sad that so many people feel comfortable in disrespecting women, including the media. Yet we so readily condemn other countries for their lack of respect for women. We do not listen, read or reason when it comes to politics. The news is no better. You would think that style would not take priority over substance. There is also a great lack of respect on Obama’s part that is just accepted. If you want to know the truth coming from the Black community, we honestly think that Caucasians are afraid of Obama. He calls Senator McCain “John” instead of addressing him properly. Don’t dare get Cancer and try to live a decent life. All we ever hear is about the possibility of death for Senator McCain. There is no guarantee for any of us. How would each one who constantly “kill” him off feel if you were suddenly diagnosed with cancer? We would rather take an inexperience anybody than a woman. Let’s put some of what Sara Palin has done out there for people to see instead of putting her down. Let’s ask Barack Obama to stop telling stories, copying off others, depending upon others and hiding his inexperienced before a big mistake is made. Stop covering up for him, stop being afraid of him and elect the better candidate. I am so surprised with all that news reporters have seen, they are so naive. Not one of them will stand up and make the truth be known. Long after the Obamas they will have to live with themselves.
Further, Obama talks a good game and so many people are falling for it. We, as Blacks are used to the fast talkers as a part of our culture. We just sit back and laugh at how easy it is to be taken in. We know the truth and we just sit back and laugh. We just sit back and laugh! We laugh at all those media experts who are supposed to be so wise end up being so gullible. You really need to get to know us as a culture before you can presume to enable a person like Obama. You don’t know him at all. If he is elected, you will learn a valuable lesson. Have no fear, but we will know!

Senator Biden – A Draft Dodger Unqualified to be Commander-in-Chief
What exactly makes Senator Biden qualified to be Commander-in-Chief other than during the Vietnam War he displayed a phenomenal ability to avoid a military conflict, especially if it posed a personal danger? I would also point out that the Obama-Biden ticket will be historic for another not-so impressive reason, it will be the first ticket of either major party in the past 68 years (since 1940) where neither the presidential nor vice presidential candidate has ever worn this country’s uniform.
Biden and many other of his ilk were technically “Draft Dodgers.” Draft dodging does not necessarily mean “illegal” as the Webster’s Dictionary of the time defined it as simply “avoiding military service.” Applying for student or occupational deferments (and you did have to apply), leaving the country, feigning homosexuality, getting an asthma excuse from an unscrupulous private doctor or signing up for ROTC without any intentions of participating were all things people did, legally and illegally, to avoid performing their duty. I don’t care if your name was Cheney or Clinton, Biden or Romney, don’t insult my intelligence with a lame excuse. “It was the luck of the draw” (Clinton), “If called, I would have been happy to serve” (Cheney) or “look at my personal doctor’s asthma diagnosis after my 6 other deferments ran out” (Biden), are all a little disingenuous when each did everything short of maiming himself (which none had the guts to do) to make sure he was unavailable to be called.
Also, consider draft quotas were assigned by draft board. When one man evaded, someone else, often less educated or advantaged and always less eligible, served in his place. Additionally, because many of the more capable natural leaders avoided service, we often had to settle for the LT Cally’s of the world for leadership. Think of how many American lives could have been saved if leaders of Clinton, Cheney or Biden’s potential had done their duty. Isn’t it ironic how correct Clinton was when he used to say that “it’s the little guy who plays by the rules that always ends up taking it in the neck.”
As for Biden in particular, he was subject to the draft for most of the Vietnam draft era but continued to avoid service by applying (and it did require applying) for six separate deferments. Although in his best-selling memoir published last year, “Promises to Keep,” Biden recounted his active childhood, working as a lifeguard and excelling at high school football, but he never mentions asthma. Now he claims that “during the Vietnam War he got a draft notice but flunked the physical due to asthma.” I’m afraid I’d have to see the government documentation of his physical before believing it as, you may recall, Biden’s record of veracity isn’t the best. By the time Biden finally got his draft notice, he was already a lawyer so knew how to “manipulate the system.” Was his asthma “discovered” during his draft physical or did Mr. Biden bring in “documentation” from his “private physician” in an effort to establish a disqualifying feature after he received a draft notice. This is something worthy of a New York Times investigation.
Having been Drafted and Inducted into the Army in June 1967 in Wilkes-Barre, the Armed Forces Entrance and Examination Station for Northeast Pennsylvania including Biden’s “hometown” of Scranton, I have a little first hand knowledge on how physicals were conducted. I had three disqualifying features detected during my Draft Physical including a “loose knee” from a wrestling injury that should have been surgically corrected. Instead of being disqualified, the doctor stamped my Physical “Waiver” but did warn me to “be careful with the knee in Vietnam so it didn’t dislocate again!” I was inducted later that afternoon and ended up serving an extended tour in Vietnam. I guess I might have “Taken Biden’s Place” in the War but never got so much as a thank-you from him! Then again, my circumstance might have been a little different than Biden’s. When I was drafted my father and brother (who suffered with terrible asthma for his entire 24 year military career) were active duty military, and my mother and four uncles were WWII combat veterans. Being found “unfit for service” would have been too embarrassing. Then again, some people have no shame so can’t be embarrassed.
I remember how Senator (and Medal of Honor recipient) Bob Kerrey put it in 1992 when he said “as I remember it, at that time if you could walk and chew gum, the military would take you.” Wonder how much Joe whined during his physical to get found “not physically qualified” because, I assure you from personal experience, it would not have happened without considerable whining!
Former Virginia Governor, current Senate candidate and Democrat Convention Keynote speaker Mark Warner was quoted in the 26 August Washington Post as saying: “(Biden) has real-world grass-roots, blue-collar appeal. He can go into a VFW hall or Kiwanis Club meeting and ….” He might be able to go into a Kiwanis Club but he definitely has NOT earned the right to enter a VFW Hall! If he was “unfit” to serve then when his country needed him badly, what makes him any more fit to serve now?

JayHawk: You are so right. When they talk about Biden being well dressed give me a break. And Obama, I wonder when he is going to take that dark suit off he’s been wearing since time and put on a different color. Now, biden could really us a hair piece because he lost a lot of hair in the back of his head. Obama needs to get his ears clipped somewhat and what about those big teeth. They are whoppers.

marilyn: God will have to bless America if Obama is elected. Are you looking for a repeat of the 1929 depression. Well, you will see it because there is no way he can run this country. First of all, he doesn’t have the capabilities to run this country or any country. He never ran anything in his life and doesn’t have the qualified experience or knowledge. If you are planning to vote for Obama you better close your bank account.

ML: Obama didn’t write that book called “The Audacity OF Hope”. While in his racist church on a Sunday, his pastor had a long sermon on the Audacity of Hope. Obama took that sermon, had it typed up and presented it to a publisher to be publisher and named himself as the author. Underhanded? You don’t know the half of it. He ruined the woman that was running against him for the senate seat. He and Nancy Pelosi talked to the superdelegates in secret to switch their vote for favors granted. That’s how he won the nomination and Nancy pushed for hit. Hillary was cheated all the way around. Thank god if he loses this election.
Posted by: Mariann Pepitone | September 28, 2008, 10:43 pm 10:43 pm
Marilyn: NO WAY, NO HOW, NO HUSSEIN. Now how does that sound to you? And that name fits Obama because he is a half black Kenyan and they are different looking than the American black. The media refers to him as African American or a black man which he is not. He is half black and half white. A half black half white man can never be black. That’s the highly educated college network media that came out knowing nothing. Obama is Mulatto and he cannot change that.

Democrat All My Life: Don’t get yourself upset over those blogs. No one has the right to make any kind of remarks against gay people. Gay people mind their business and don’t get involved with other peoples lives. As far as Hillary yes, she was cheated out of the nomination by Nancy Pelosi, Dean and Reid. I too have never seen an election like this until Obama announced his run for the presidency. And this generation of college students present a problem in this election. Even when Kerry and Bush were running against each other it was not like this one. Obama wants to be too much like MLK and he should stop trying to walk in MLK’s shoes and walk in his own. He is not interested in this country. Its a fake he puts on all the time. Obama is interested in making history so bad he can taste it. But if your voting democrat go ahead and vote. Don’t pay any attention to the blog you were on.
