Biden: Voters “having a difficult time” electing first African American president

All these negatives attack won’t work.No this time , not this year. Enough is Enough. All these tactics will go in vain.

Biden is absolutely correct. Negative tactics only serve to divide. Undecided voters are like children, thy have to be coddled. They can’t make adult decisions. Makes you wonder why they even vote.

Reuters/Zogby within 3 points. Money cannot buy elections ( ask Perot, Forbes,..). Hilary beat him in the mid west inspite of spending 4 to 1. Also some of these money is tainted coming from overseas drugs and terrorist connections…
Trying to cover up Rezko/Ayers/Wright/Farrakhan/Jesse Jackson/Drug habits/Smoking/Bitter americans/HIgher taxes/Socialist distribution of wealth/sitting with Iran/Venezuela without conditions/Against guns/against drilling/against nuclear power/against victory in Iraq…… will behis downfall

John McCain is a traitor
Cindy HATES John
Vietnam vets HATE John
And I’m leaning toward intense dislike

Uh yeah the tired race card again!!

LOVE CONQUERS ALL FOLKS, it’s very foolish to continue to point this race card out because there are a few bad apples on both sides of the campaign this election. Vote for the person most qualified not by race,age, sex, and or gender. The media needs to stop posting these stupid articles, because it then clearly shows a bias for the candidate they prefer in this election. Just this week a little 12 year old girl was tormented by her class mates for being Racist by just wearing a Palin t’shirt. Some folks in many communities out right claim your racists if you don’t vote Obama, so I say again this behave, while very childish, hateful and harsh, does not belong in this campaign. This is very negative publication by the media to evoke sympathetic voters emotions. Guess what it’s working. I am a woman & Hispanic and I am choosing my candidate according to his experience not color. It’s time the nonsense stops and the people rise up to the challenge of seeing clearer through this rhetoric and stand up for the HUMAN RACE we are all one, color doesn’t matter and racism is an illness that has no business in this election. However there still are a few out there with this illness, it doesn’t mean it represents all people and those of us who know the difference must make clear examples of just being Loving and Compassionate Human Beings, because guess what the world is watching, and more importantly our children… PEACE UPON US ALL!!!!!!!!

My GrandMma made me the happiest person
this morning. She said after
watching the huge crowd greeted
Obama in St. Louis yesterday, she will
now vote for him.
She said a person is the person
regardless of the color. She now thinks
Obama is for the job.

The old McCain is dead. The new McCain had turned to the Dark Side.
McCain: “Barack. I am your Father”
Barack: “Nooooooooo”

I find it amazing that after 2 years of the most intense scrutiny and investigation, that turned up nothing wrong done by Obama, that people continue with the smear tactics and actually believe the trash being leveled at Obama. They demand the truth but obviously want their own truth as the truth about Obama is already out there. These types of people will not accept the truth because it is not what they want to hear.

the negative color crap is the same bs that went on when jfk ran for pres—-WE CAN NOT HAVE A CATHOLIC IN THE WHITE HOUSE–PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP.

FM: Your Grandma is right, and she’s a good person – whoever she votes for! My mum (now deceased) grew up during the war years and was kind to a couple of young black brothers who didn’t get well treated by the other kids. Years later, she saw a young, black man walking towards her with a woman, and he was looking at her and smiling. She thought,”Who’s this black man, why’s he smiling at me?” and then he got closer and he grabbed her and hugged her. He introduced her to his wife. Of course, she remembered now that he was one of the brothers she’d known as a child. He was so happy to see her, said how well she’d treated him and how he never forgot her. She told me she always felt bad afterwards about her initial thoughts on seeing this black man walking towards her. “Why’s he looking at me?” She was ashamed. And she always said to me, “You never judge a person by the colour of his skin. Judge him by his character.” I’m proud of my Mum – you’re right to be proud of your Grandma. Should be more like ‘em.

You should have taken your grandma to the million men march by Louis Farraakhan. Maybe she will like to vote for President Farrakhan

Biden keeps saying the race keeps the whites from voting for Obama.
Why does he say this?
To pressure whites into voting for Obama.
Sorry, Biden.
It’s not about race.
It’s about leadership (lack thereof), integrity (ditto), personality (flawed), associations (ditto), wed to big money (clearly).
That’s why intelligent, understanding, patriotic voters will vote McCain/Palin.

Some of us aren’t so stupid to fall into this trap.
But the rest of you apparently are.
I’ll vote for real change instead.

vs, where did you get your “facts” from? the republican news?….

YES MR MCCAIN.

I gave Obama $7,000 in drug money!!!
Here’s how you do it. Just keep giving it $100 at a time so they don’t ask for your info.
Average donation under $85 bucks. Get it? I’m telling you it works.
Obama my man!
I’ll get you another 10 G homey!

The millionaires aren’t worried.
Obama will take care of his peeps.
Remember, he’s one of them.

But middle class Americans will be broken for decades.
Yes, broken. And broke.

WONDER HOW THE SONGBIRD OF HANOI FEELS NOW THAT HE IS TAKING A TROUNCING.

RDF, Yes we will win North Carolina. EARLY VOTING RESULTS OVERWHELMINGLY FAVOR OBAMA! Across the state, Democrats showed the most first-day enthusiasm. Of the nearly 114,000 first-day voters, 64 percent were Democrats, 21 percent Republicans and 15 percent were unaffiliated.

Well, I just hope all of Obama’s young voters who said the he would somehow magically unite country and not provoke so much Republican hatred as Hillary clinton have learned something about politics. Republicans attack. They don’t care what the basis – race, gender or ideology — they attack. Check out this guy’s analysis. Pretty interesting! Compares the anti-Obama attacks with the anti-Bill/Hillary attacks during the ’90s. http://dissentingjustice.blogspot.com/2008/10/look-whos-divisive-now-obamas.html

Now if Mccain/Palin were to say that about the quote “black vote” because of the +90% black vote for Obama that maybe some black voters would vote for Mccain/Palin but they fear retribution from other blacks wouldn’t that also be true? Rascism in this race is a real factor both ways. So stop trying to say its just on the Caucasian side. Joe Biden is clueless and classless. For me, I am a quote white person who chooses McCain because I agree with his ideals. There are quote “black candidates” that yes I would vote for if they ran because I like their policies if they would run. Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice for example. Stop calling me as a white rascist because I don’t vote Obama. I totally disagree with his ideas. I am a single mother of one who works for a living, pays taxes and struggles day in and day out just like everone else. But you know what I can look people in the eye and say hey we are doing fine. We have a roof over our heads, food on the table, and we are ok. Now do we take vacations somewhere? No we don’t. We may go to the lake once a year. Does someone owe me their hard earned wages so that my daughter and myself can go on vacation? No they don’t. America wake up and smell the roses! Stop waiting for someone else to take care of you and take care of yourself!!!!!! We live in the greatest country in the world where it is up to you how you want to live. Noone else. If you don’t want to make the effort that is your problem not mine or the government. I had to move to a different state just to make ends meet. You may too. Its a part of life. Am I better for my struggles in life? You bet I am. America you do not want an Obama Presidency. Redistribution of wealth does nothing exept make people dependent on government and not on themselves. Its like always just strving for a C in school because hey everyone else will get the same. Noone will strive to be better because they will be taxed more.

Powell (Rep) just endorsed Obama. Rep say Ouch!!

chad22,
your Palin is hot comment is disrespectful to her as a woman, to me as a woman, and to her position as a VP candidate.
Your misogynistic attitude only unites us women more than ever.
I would trust Governor Palin with my life. I wouldn’t trust Senator Obama with my goldfish.

COLEEN
what you dont seem to understand is that there is too much in too little hands and the rich have become super rich , and that the middle class is being destroyed—the super rich have no problem investing this money in foreign countries.and hurting us more by eliminating our jobs here.warren buffet one of the wealtiest feels that it is wrong—we have to get the trade inbalance under controll.mccain now wants colombia to have free trade with us–and there goes more jobs.mccain never had to go out and earn a living.

colin powell–is one of the most respected military men in the country–and wow he is colored—-i gurantee you he knows all about mccain and his military career.

i am who i am. i gurantee it.

mccain soon will be history–past history and the dummy fron the north can go home and kill and eat moose—

palin should be in the house, not in the white house. women are not meant to be president or vp!

Bringing more wealth to middle America means more wealth and money going to our small towns and schools. Middle America spends its money where it lives and on what’s important to their families. Rich America spends its money on over seas investments, on international-based gains. Ask yourself where the money is best for America… in our schools teaching our kids, in the local economy re-building our roads and bridges, in our retirement plans so after 40 years of teaching, building roads and fixing clogged drains we can afford to retire OR to foreign investments where only 2 percent of the American public actually has a better life.

WHAT AM I SAYING ON THAT OTHER NEWS PAGE?

MCCAIN AND HIS GUTTER TACTICS HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM—-I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY LIES FROM A CANDIDATE—BUT WHEN SOMEONE LIKE MCCAIN WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO OFFER –WHAT ELSE CAN HE DO…HIS —D—AVERAGE HAS CAUGHT UP WITH HIM.

I AGREE CHAD22!

BUT YOU ARE STILL WRONG ABOUT OBAMSA

yeah Joe kind of like McCain getting black votes???? Stop whinnnnnnnnng, snivvvvvvvvveling and making excuses for losing in Nov. dear!!!! LMAO

coleen I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA ,AND SO WILL MY FAMILY.as i dont want another 4 years like the last 8—-you cannot run the country with uneducated people like mccain and palin–the hate campaignis just a distraction as mccain dont have a clue –and he never worked for anything.—-you just admitted that you got an education to get ahead–dont you feel that all should do the same..–i do

Come off it Rodney!!
You making me break my side with laughter!!

Ahh, let the Ivy League “educated” people run the country.
You mean like the “educated” people who can’t figure out basic capitalistic economics?
A law degree is not an education. It’s a license to screw people over.
Puhleeeeeease!

Obama says he’ll side with Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
Any questions?

mccain is parading the plumber guy around stating obama taxes will hurt hin….lets get serious DOES ANYONE HERE THINK HE WILL EVER NET OVER 250 THOUSAND A YEAR—-HE IS JUST ANOTHER UNEDUCATED NIT WIT–OR AS UNION PEOPLE CALL HIM A (SCAB)

COLEEN
I COULD BUY AND SELL YOU MANY TIMES OVER HOWEVER I STILL RESPECT YOUR OPINION—-BUT THE LAST 8 YEARS HAVE BEEN ENOUGH. AND THE COLOR OF SOMEONES SKIN DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO ME.

90% of blacks vote for Obama not because he is black, but because that is how they have voted since they were allowed to vote. So don’t make it a racial issue. If Hilary was the candidate 90% of blacke voters would have elected her too. Don’t buy this race spin

no women in policits!

Chris
Quit telling lies. 96% of the black vote includes a whole lot of racists.
Many of the blacks voting obama couldnt tell you a damn thing obama has ever accomplished that quailfies him to run for president. Hell, half of the politicians supporting obama cant name any credible accomplishments.
Maybe youre forgetting that blacks all jumped off the Clinton bandwagon as soon as Barack won the Iowa caucus?

Sarah Palin DOES indeed have excellent experience, AND that experience is at the Executive level. Obama does NOT!
His law degree from Harvard makes him a good lawyer (potentially, and debatable from my perspective as a Yale graduate).
Her experience in fighting corruption, fighting Big Oil, and running the USA’s largest state and the one closest to Russia, which is bordered ONLY by Canada, which has all interstate commerce being conducted across national borders or open seas, makes Sarah Palin the most experienced of the two.
But even MORE fascinating is that while McCain’s experience trumps that of Biden, and Palin’s trumps that of Obama, Palin is denigrated for being the choice of McCain.
Show me another woman who has accomplished so much in so little time, AND has done so while raising a family instead of foregoing parenthood or waiting until her children are raised.
I am a successful attorney who has 3 small children. I will NOT wait until my children are grown to be successful. I will NOT forego my opportunity to be a parent in order to be successful. Women as a whole will NOT be on the sidelines while men take in the glory of success at ANY times of their lives, while women WAIT until children are raised.
I praise Sarah Palin on what she has accomplished. I praise McCain for having the intelligence to choose a qualified woman as vice president. Yes, there are many others, and perhaps some who would be better qualified. But, as we all know, Obama was NOT willing to choose a qualified woman as VP, and that is why I will vote for McCain/Palin.
Not to mention, this will set up a Sarah Palin vs. Hillary Clinton battle for 2012. At that time, I’ll be in a dilemma between voting for my former choice (Clinton) and my current one (Palin).

Your fear-monger attempt to scare women from voting for McCain/Palin is pitiful. Believe it or not, this country has a checks and balances system that prevents presidents from having ultimate power over ANYTHING, particularly Supreme Court appointments.
Did you bother to think about mentioning to your readers that Supreme Court nominees must be approved by legislative action before being appointed? Don’t you think that the current Democratic legislative power would keep that from happening?
I am a Yale-educated successful FEMALE attorney with 3 young children. I will NOT stand by while one ENORMOUS ISSUE is pushed aside by men (and women alike) intent on hiding behind fears. This country, in ALL of its history, has not once had a female president or vice president. It took over 200 years for a female, Geraldine Ferraro, to be placed on the ticket as a vice president. Women were told (by many men) to be afraid of her and the result was that the MAJORITY of women voted AGAINST her.
It took 24 more years, and entire generation, to get a woman on the ticket again! No, I do NOT agree with EVERYTHING Palin stands for, but neither did I agree with EVERYTHING Hillary stood for. But NOW is the time for a competent, hard-working, intelligent woman with integrity to be sent to Washington as President or, in this case, Vice President. I will NOT “wait” until 2016!
I would have voted for Hillary. I WILL vote for Palin. And in 2012, I expect a Sarah Palin vs. Hillary Clinton battle for President, where the outcome guarantees that the larger half of this country’s gender will be represented once and for all!!!
I DO care about the issues. And this is one issue from which I will NOT back away!
McCain/Palin in 2008. Palin vs. Clinton in 2012.

MICHELLE
why didnt mccain pick a well educated woman to run– is it perhaps that none would lie and spread hate for him–as he needs a skirt to hide behind.

Not until reading media stories such as this, and throughout this Presidential election and the postings from those that feed into them did I realize how ignorant both the American media and the American public really is.

Badger1 quit deluding yourself. Bill Clinton had no better supporters in America than the black people.
Just 2004 Al Sharpton didn’t even get 7% of the black vote and he’s black through and through so eat your racism!

John kerry on the otherhand garnered 90% of the black vote

michelle and coleen
i started working on a farm when12 yerrs old and still got educated—it would take hours to tell you what i have done in my life and still do.you have a good idea what it takes to get ahead ,and so do i —all i can say is it is not easy–but the dream is alive. no handouts here.-the last 8 years have been a sellout for our country, and we need to take it back.

chad, I guess you missed the obvious point. It was Hillary Clinton I was referring to. Hello??? Anybody Home??? Remember the blacks , and black superdelegates leaving her for obama, after the Iowa caucus? Racism at its most obvious. Fkkk Obama and Biden.

Michelle,
McCain has milked his “experience” for years. Most of his experience has consisted of having his family pull strings to save his ass whenever he frequently screwed up.
He dumped his first wife who had faithfully waited for him because a car crash left her disfigured, and took up with rich heiress, Cindy. He could hardly wait for the divorce to marry her.
He has changed his principles more than a chameleon to suit his purposes.
Furthermore he was not a hero. He was an average POW, who spilled everything to get better treatment, especially that he was the son of a powerful family. He wasn’t even a good pilot.
His careeer is really reminiscent of the same special treatment that George W Bush got due to family prestige.
McCain has always been known as a mean, hot-tempered, screw-up. And he screwed up one more time when he picked Palin.
By the way, Michelle, what publications do you read?

Biden is full of bull. If people simply do not like Obama, then they are cast as racist. That is the biggest fraud (beside ACORN submitting fraudulent votes for Obama in all the swing and battleground states) perpetuated on the American people. Moreover, as Joe Biden and Hillary said, Obama is not ready to be President. Moreover, Biden said he would be honored to be on the same ticket with McCain. Moreover, Governor Palin has more experience than Barack Obama. That is the bottom line,not racism.

Pam,
You want to know where the money is coming from? I’ve never contributed money to a political campaign. I’ve contributed over $100 to Barack to help him win this election. Because, I believe in him and believe he is the change we need for this country. For all the small business owners complaining about paying taxes..if this economy is not fixed, no one will be able to afford to spend money and support your small businesses and you will probably go out of business. I would guess that most customers supporting your small business are middle class workers. That’s something to think about!!!

Are liberals really that stupid? They talk about how all this negative campaigning won’t work this year in response to an article where Biden is calling indeppendent voters “racist” if they don’t vote for Obama. How much more negative can you get than that?
Isn’t it possible that someone may vote for McCain because he is more experienced? or because they don’t want their taxes raised? or because they support Israel? or because they are concerned about Obama’s 130 “present” votes in the Ill. Senate?
of because they think Palin is refreshing compared to windbag Joe? or maybe they are concerned about the personal attacks on Joe the plumber just because he asked a question of Obama and Obama gave an answer the maybe gave away a little too much about who he really is.
The charges of racism have been used to much and too often and I find it offensive and a bigger distraction than the Ayers charges by McCain. At least McCain is confining his attacks to Obama. Obama is attacking american citizens with his charges of racism.
Why should I vote for someone who attacks me personally?

It’s about the experience stupid……

As a British Citizen, obviously i cannot have a say in this momentous election. Nevertheless, i have been following this election with intense interest since last october and have invested as much passion and emotion into the outcome as many americans. this is because i see that the election of an american leader is the election of a man who can change the worlds fortunes around. i have an immense love for america and one day hope to serve as a diplomat in the US for my country.
from across the pond i have observed both campaigns and both candidates including their running mates and to me the choice is a no brainer. Obama is a man of extraordinary character and on that special day in november when we are told that he has won the election…the world as a whole will feel a little safer, a little more secure and a lot more positive knowing that a man of substance, intelligence, and compassion will soon be standing at the desk of the most powerful office in the world.
another observation i have made is that every angry post on here, and every racist or bigoted remark comes from xomebody supporting McCain. i dont quite know what this means, but it worries me.
Obama/Biden 08

bkah

You could just as easily say that voters have reservations over electing an old man or an extremely young and inexperienced man to be President as well Joe. Divide and conquer you race baiter!

The race card is easy to play. The real reason people like me won’t vote for him is that he is the first admittedly socialist candidate running on a major party ticket. But of course, now I’m a racist for even bringing this up. Wait until you see how this backfires.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR MESSIAH
After I am elected we will begin the process of re-educating the Republicans racist dogs. Starting with the confiscation of all white-owned property and my spread-the-wealth-program. All minorities will be issued a PH.D. in nonviolent minority studies from the University of Obamaville, where Mr.William Ayers will be the dean of the Revisionist History Department and Dr. Franklin Raines will be Chair of the Karl Marx International School of Property Management. My wife Michelle will be in charge of determining wages for all US citizens, so you should get your requests in early along with your check.
Hail the Messiah!
Hail Obama!
Your President-For-Life

Biden: “Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America,”
The Obama campaign’s use of race to distract from issues that pose a threat to Obama’s success, like his recent “spread the wealth” comment, is disgusting. It happens every time. Enough is enough!
Senator Obama has run the most under-handed, dirty campaign I have seen in 40 years of Presidential election campaigns–from financing to race baiting.

William finally gives us the answer why the DNC candidate voted ‘present’ so many times. —– Undecided voters are like children, thy have to be coddled. They can’t make adult decisions. Makes you wonder why they even vote.—–

Alzheimers Biden, people are more concerned about Obama’s socialist positions which are more aligned with the failed democratic congress than the American people and his poor judgement proven by his close associations and friendships with Ayers, Rezko and Wright.
Enorsements by Louis Farakhan, Hamas and Hezbollah, doesn’t help either.
I do not care if the guy is pink, I want a president I can trust, and frankly, with all the flip-flops Obama’s done I don’t know if I can believe what Obama say. I think he just says what will get him elected and once he’s in the White House, push his Marxist policies.
God Help Us, we’ll all be praising Allah when all is said and done.

Sorry, Mr. Biden, but race is not the issue. The issue is whether or not your running mate can be trusted to run this nation.
We, the American People, have become cynical regarding politicians and their promises. You constantly promise us a great deal, but then turn around and stab us in the backs at your first opportunity. We will not give you are trust – you and your running mate need to prove to us that you are trustworthy.
Mr. Obama has a great deal of issues surrounding him that indicate he should not be trusted.
Barrack Obama was a member of a church presided over by an anti-American racist for 26 years. Obama was personal friends with that “minister,” having him preside over his marriage and his children’s baptisms not counting the numerous dinners they ate together. Yet, Obama tells us he never once heard a single controversial statement. BS. Only a fool would buy that lie.
Obama was associated with William Ayers, albeit many years after Ayers’ crimes against this nation. Obma didn’t merely sit on a board with him, but sat on multiple boards, chaired foundations created by Mr. Ayers, launched his political career at a party hosted by Mr. Ayers at Ayer’s house, and reportedly socialized with him quite frequently. Yet, Obama tells us he barely knows Mr. Ayers and the only thing they have in common is being from the same city. Again, BS. That is such a transparent lie it isn’t funny.
Obama was associated with Tony Rezko until such time as Rezko was arrested, tried, and convicted for political bribery. Obama arranged to have Rezko purchase a property next door to one he himself wanted, in order to get a substantial discount on his own purchase. Obama tells us this was a poor choice, but I say it stinks of political corruption in the classical “Dirty Chicago” scene.
Obama was asked legitimate questions about his birth and his citizenship. His sister, brother, and grand-mother have all reported that Obama was not born in the United States, while Obama claims he was. When asked to provide a birth certificate, Obama provided a document which was proven conclusively to be a forgery. Now that a lawsuit is pending to try to force Obama to establish he meets the requirements set forth by this nation’s Constitution for any and every President of this country, Obama is claiming that American citizens have no right to challenge him or demand that the Constitution be adhered to.
Obama claims repeatedly that he doesn’t take money from lobbyists and special interest groups. Yet, Obama has received substantial campaign funds from Exelon – the parent company of Ameren and Commonwealth Edison which attempted to extort the citizens of Illinois with ridiculously high priced electricity.
Obama claimed he would run a different type of campaign, one which avoids the smear attacks we have seen throughout past political races. Yet, Obama is now spending more money producing and airing negative smear attacks than any presidential candidate in the history of this nation.
Numerous other examples of Obama’s duplicity exist, but space here is not limitless.
Senator Biden, your running mate is a liar who has been busted again and again lying to the American people. He cannot be trusted. It is not a matter of race, but of his complete lack of integrity, honor, and honesty.

Part of Obama’s problem is his running mate Joe Biden. This guy is so clueless he makes Dan Quayle look like a genius.
Ths issue is three letters ‘JOBS”. No only can he not spell he can’t count. I wonder if he can spell potato?
When you ask a ‘simple’ question that the democrats don’t like Joe the Plumber did you see what can happen: they come at you with the full force of the media. Can you say intimidation? The hardest question Obana is going to get from now is “What is your favorite color or what sign are you? Anything else will get the authorities at your door. Whatever happened to free speech.
Sorry Carlos Mencia I think free speech is dead.

Attention all McCain Palin supporters.
Most of you already know, but Beware that from now until the end of this election the MSM, and Hollywood elite snobs are going to pull all the stops to discourage us from voting.They will skew polling data, run smear story after smear story, mock a sitting Governor, and a war veteran. They will try to make you feel like a racist. etc Dont buy into it. Make sure you tell your family and friends stand strong and weather these attacks. Dont be intimidated or manipulated out of your vote. McCain/Palin into the future.

Obama only became a community organizer as a stepping stone to advance his radical left political agenda. Even a lobotomized UKer should know that.

peg thinks its smart to vote for a documented racist, befriender of those who would do our country harm, and someone who has no record to match his lofty rhetoric..
No thanks peg, I will gladly, and proudly choose Sarah Palin, and John McCain two proven reformers,,over the Marxist, racist, liberal, all day long.

Badger is right – the media is lying. Crawl over broken glass to vote.

kudr=== do five hundred pages on that and get back to us.

Yep…colin Powell is internationally respected. i would trust his judgement over a couple of die hard republicans who are panicking as they come to realise that they are staring in the face of defeat.

Nice try delores, but even many democrats agree that FOX has had the fairest coverage of this election, including Hillary Clinton, James Carville,and Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell to name a few. Evrybody and their pet rock knows that MSNBC CNN ABC CBS NY TIMES etc are SOLIDLY IN THE TANK FOR obama.
delores,your real problem is that you cant dispute any of what Ive written, because its all documented fact, and public record. Youre a obama media brainwashed ditz, sorry to say. I dont rely on FOX, I do independant investigation, and obama is a complete fraud better suited to seeling used cars to suckers.

Badger would probably vote for bush again if it were constitutional for a president to run for a 3rd term. oh wait! he is voting for bush again! aka Mc Cain! :)

maybe “in bed with” It’s a much more “colorful” irrelative statement
for a catatonic masicist

unfortunately Badger. i dont just follow your media. i follow my own nations media too. and believe it or not my nations media is more impartial and has a record for being so. i also check out french, german and american media. just to make sure i get an even palate. oh and guess what. i still think obama is the right choice. and i aint bolled over by biased media. in the UK we see right through it.
Obama is a good guy with or without the backing of the major news channels of the US.

A lot of Americans are hard workers and over the last several years seen the standard of life go down. I also read a lot about socialism. All Dems want is the Goverment to work for ordinary Americans as hard as they work for rich Americans. Isnt that the way America should be? Ask any American worker if he or she thinks all should have heath care and a quality education and i think you know the answer. McCain and Palin continue to bring devision to the American people. The robocalls keep hyping on Ayers and trying to convince people that Obama palls around with terrorist. Millions of America will thing we have a terrorist in Office if Obama wins and millions will be angry at McCain for the lies and devision if he wins. Not good. McCain says to the lady that called Obama an Arab that Obama is a good and respected family man and yet the next thing you know McCains calls Obama a pal of a terrorist. What McCain should of said was he isnt an Arab, but so what if he was. He isnt a Muslim but so what if he is. By not saying these things he brings devision and Im sorry my friends, but my idea of America is a country where all religions and races are welcome with open hearts and minds and treated with equal respect. Many a Rep likes to use Jesus or being Christian as its base. Let me ask you. If you believe in the Christian belief and in Jesus’s teachings you would also understand that he didnt like the Rich and wealthy and too, tought that all mankind was God’s children and believed in taking care of the less fortunate and hungry. He also tought forgiveness.
So some that are claming a Christian base and yet are using devision, racism or slander are going right against what they say they believe in. Jesus would have probably been a liberal due to his beliefs and teachings. To knock any man strickly due to race or wealth or religion is about the most unamerican thing one can do. It takes away any since of patriotism or love for this country or its ideas or what this country was founded on. The republican party needs a self test and to reflect on what it really stands for. Obama has my vote and i am proud to see Powell come on board.

CW…your words are music to my ears. i love america and 1 day hope to represent my country in yours. your words and that of a handful of others help to instill confidence that there is progress being made in america – depsite there still being a lot of people who hate and rally against everything they dont understand. people like yourself will allow that progress to take a giant leap in november and help to ensure obama is voted in. the alternative doesnt bare thinking about.

badger…at the moment, the conservatives in the uk are getting a lot of press with their proposals. they my friend are not socialist, yet they seem to be dominating the news. so i can assure you, my countries media and yours are not on the same page.

and this socialism that you are afraid of in america helps to ensure that every single person in the UK gets treatment for any illness be it flu, meningitis or cancer. there is not one single person who is refused the care they need. that to me is not something to be afraid of.

Why is it, if you ARE NOT voting for Obama you are considered a racist?
Obama has NO experience.
Obama has NEVER reached across the aisle to write a law.
Obama makes great speeches but NEVER DELIVERS WHAT HE PROMISES. (just look at his SEnate record.)
Obama is a previous drug user.
Obama has never worked for a private corporation…he has always worked on the government’s dole in one way or another.
The media LOVES Obama and they let their love affair blind them to his many faults.
Finally, when people worship a guy like he is the winner of American Idol, yet they can’t explain his positions/platform…it concerns me!!!!
Actions speak louder than words….Obama is a real salesman and people believe they are voting for a utopia. For a utopia to work EVERYONE must work equally hard…sorry to say this will never happen. Some people are achievers and go-getters (and under Obama they will be punished) and there are “low income” people who will be rewarded for making poor personal & academic choices.
There are other reasons BESIDES RACE on WHY people don’t want to vote for Obama.

The Obama’s aren’t just measuring for curtains, they are also ripping out the roses in the Rose garden to plant them watermelons seeds. I hear they have truck loads of chickens ready to be delivered too.
Mmmmm…Watermelons and fried chicken will be the staple of our economy.

Mike, whilst i respect your opinion on obama i also respectfully disagree. i also hasten to add that your view on low income earners and “go getters” is quite narrow and over generalised. There are people who work damned hard in this world but who will never make mega bucks because this world isnt that easy. if it was then the world would be a much wealthier place. the truth is there are many barriers to being that successful..some people may overcome these hurdles whilst overs are left at the sidelines. so it is unfair to not help these ppl out. they are the cornerstones of your economy.

Sean A. you are using your own governments incompetencies as part of your argument. yes my nation is smaller, but so is its GDP. we are a microcosm of your nation. so to assume that a similar thing cannot be adopted in your great nation is arrogant and absurd. oh and btw our nation has its own immigration problems. dont think your nation is the only one with problems to overcome.

uhh, Joe?
Americans are having problems with voting for a liar who appears to have remarkably bad judgement (Surge, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac), extremely poor choice in associates (Wright, Ayers, Dohrn, Farrakhan, etc., etc.), completely insane redistributionist tax policies, remarkably counter-productive tax strategies (increase taxes in a recession), appears to have accepted millions of dollars from illegal contributors, supported infanticide, despises Americans in flyover country (bitter and clinging) and has a long and current relationship with the voter-fraud organization Acorn.
Not to mention choosing you as VP (hey, how is that military intervention by France and USA in Lebanon going? ). But at least you know how many states there are in the USA and you have released your college records….
So your only recourse is to deal the race card from the bottom of the deck. yeah, like that is going to work….

Thanks Watermelon garden, You pretty much summed up what I was going to say, but let me just add to the Brit, Brett Mellish that the US has a welfare system, which provides Medicaid to those who do not work. I was a caseworker for our Welfare dept and gave out a lot of $$, foodstamps and medicaid. We also have walk-in clinics available to those who do not have the means to pay for their healthcare.
I understand that the UK’s government does not have this system but relies on voluntary, independents and charity organizations.

The only people playing the race card are the Democrats.
If you’re white and vote for McCain, you’re a racist. No matter if you agree with his policies or not, you’re voting based on race.
If you’re black and voting Obama, that’s okay because you’re supporting the African-America.
Biden spews hatred and it is his party dividing America. While he is insinuating that McCain/Palin are inciting violence, two McCain supporters have ACTUALLY been physically attacked by Obama supporters.
A 12-year-old girl in Florida was accused of being racist by classmates because she wore a McCain/Palin T-shirt to school.
The Democrats are screaming racism because Obama’s true colors [no pun intended] are showing. He’s a socialist who hired a CAIR attorney to defend him in the Berg v. Obama lawsuit.
And now, Biden’s true colors have shown. Thank you Joe Biden, for calling all Americans who might choose to vote for McCain, racist. I’m sure you just won over their support.

Sean A
Did they suddenly settle all of the problems with health care while I was asleep? To hear you, we have no problems with health care and it is available to all.

Paige–don’t forget the disgusting T-shirt that the Obama supporters were wearing saying “Sarah Palin is a cu*t” I didn’t hear Obama condemn that.
The Obama campaign has shown their prejudice for age and sex, but if anyone attacks Obama’s socialist positions, lies, sleazy associations with ACORN, Ayers, or Rev Wright and his black liberation theology you are a racist.

Michelle – if you are considering voting for Palins as a former Hillary supporter, you are simply voting for Plain because she is a woman. The is not a responsible tactic in which to pick our powerful leaders. Even suggesting Palin is in the same league as Clinton is despicable, and you have shown your ignorance. I respect your choice for Hillary, and I would respect your choice of Palin if you were behind her policies, BUT it is quite obvious you would only vote for Palin because of her dna – that should in my opinion that should disqualify you from voting at all…

AS MARTIN LUTHER KING SAID, YOU SHOULD NOT JUDGE A MAN BY THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN
BUT BY THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER
HERE IS OBAMA’S TRACK RECORD:
FRIENDS – AYERS (terrorist), WRIGHT (anti-white racist), REZKO (convicted felon)
FOREIGH EXPERIENCE – UNCONDITIONAL MEETING WITH AHMADINEJAD
SENATE EXPERIENCE – 100 WEEKS
ECONOMIC MESSAGE -”SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND”
POLITICAL PLATFORM -”TAXES TO FUND SOCIALISTIC WELFARE”
MIDDLE EAST – “UNDIVIDED JERUSALEM – NEXT DAY CHANGED HIS MIND”
IRAQ -”FORFEIT A VICTORY”
ACORN – “VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD”
THIS IS NOT A TIME TO TAKE A RISK WITH LIBERAL ROOKIE – MCCAIN IS THE RIGHT CHANGE WE NEED

What a complete buffoon. So now Joe Biden is declaring that undecided voters are racists too? LOL! I notice his hometown of Scranton, PA that he keeps boasting about is smack dab in the middle of the very same region of Pennsylvania that John Murtha just said was racist. Obviously, the Obama/Biden campaign is starting to get worried, or Joe’s hair plugs are beginning to affect his brain.

cobia hunter–I think it might be the Botox or early signs of Alzheimer’s, I think the beginning signs are paranoia and forgetfulness. Biden still visits Katie’s Restauarant that closed 15 yrs ago. Poor guy.

Both Biden & Obama are race-baiting. Don’t vote for them because they are liberal/socialists who want to spread (“redistribute”) your wealth.

It’s the Democrats playing the race card and it has been and always will be the Democrats who are the racist. The Democrats really need to read their history books and the bros from the hood just need to learn to read.

I am not afraid to vote for a Black man or women and many people I know are not racist. The media has turned this into a race connected campaign. I would vote for a bright conservative with strong beliefs in the constitution. I am not convinced that the Republicans don’t have Socialistic ideas either and I am having a hard time wanting to vote at all. I wish people would look up things like, Agenda21 and Proposition 51, Maurice Strong, Spiral Dynamics, these are only a few things to look at to see where some of the people in position of power are heading us into and forgetting about our constitution. I am really worried about the last days of President Bush and what he is going to do to destroy our rights and our Constitution. WAKE UP AMERICA change in deed will happen and it will be things you have never dreamed of. Bush stabbed us in the back and I am not about to let that happen again to me as a voter so I am doing research…and so far our future looks bleak.

Good grief, will you liberals get over playing the race card?
It’s Obama’s judgement, character, lack of experience, votes/non-votes, statements, and actions (by or on behalf of his campaign) to suppress dissention or inquiry that make him unpalatable as a presidential candidate. SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND exposed an agenda the media has tried to cover-up.
I am an American who happens to be black and I AM NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA! I love my country too much to put skin color above reality and facts. SOCIALISM vs LIBERTY is what this election is about for me. I stand with Joe the Plumber.
Now what are libs going to call me??

Now Biden is saying people are having a hard time with electing the first African American prez? hmmm… I though the race was over and Obama already won? I thought we didn’t even have to have the election, it was such a sure thing for the One…

Actually, Joe is deflecting attention from the fact that many of us do not want him a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Both he and Obama are cheap little men who imitate Scrooge when it comes to charitable donations, but are in favor of “patriotic” taxation for everyone else.
Racial injustice has served Obama as a convenient excuse for alienating so many voting blocs during this election and being unable to ‘close the deal’. Actually, Obama is looking every bit as corrupt and self-serving as the numerous Caucasian politicians who have ransacked the country.

Now Lets talk about Experience
I know a woman who’s had 7 kids with 4 different men obviously a lot of experience but no judgement
McCain has a lot of experience but no judgement. My father once said a wise guy is the one who learns from other people’s mistake.
Obama learnt from Al Gore and John Kerry’s mistakes and he has not repeated those mistakes – that to me is a wise guy.
John McCain lost the election with his erratic behavior.

People hesitant to put the first African-American in office as President? Bull. Ever think that people might be hesitant to vote for THIS PARTICULAR African-American?
Bright? Check. Articulate? Check. Gives soaring speeches with a teleprompter? Check. Beyond that, he has the thinnest resume of ANY Presidential candidate, and don’t give me that crap about him having the same credentials as Lincoln. This is a far more dangerous and complicated time than Lincoln’s day, so there’s no comparison. Palin is more qualified to be President than Obama is, based on her executive experience as a mayor, governer, and chair of an energy regulatory board, her experience as Commander in Chief of the Alaska National Guard, and her experience with actually owning a business and having to meet a payroll, none of which Obama has. There is also plenty of emerging evidence that the “change” he advocates may not be the type of change that most Americans really think they’re going to get. McCain is right to talk about Obama’s past alliances, because they speak to Obama’s judgment, and also inform us about the type of people that he might have as his advisors and appoint to his cabinet. As the Senator with the most liberal voting record, even more liberal than John Kerry, Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders, he is decidedly left-leaning, and very possibly a socialist. Try reading “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky. Obama’s campaign is right out of that playbook, and the dumb masses are just eating it up because they’re seeing him as their own personal Robin Hood.
The problem is this: Democrats never seem to learn that their policies always have unintended consequences. “We’ll give 95% of Americans a tax cut”. Oh, really? How do you do that when 40% of people pay no income taxes? “Well, we will give them a check for $1,000, at least as long as they’re paying the Payroll tax”. Oh, great. Social Security is in trouble, so you’re taking that money out of the money that’s supposed to be allocated to Social Security, a pay-as-you-go system. “Well, we’re going to take the cap off the Payroll tax.” Oh, great. More “soak the rich” philosophy, along with their plans to tax the income of those making over $250,000. How much do they think these people are going to allow themselves to be soaked? A few years ago, Democrats in Congress thought it would be a great idea to impose a luxury tax on yachts. The people who ended up suffering were shipbuilders who were laid off when J.P. Richguy stopped buying as many of them. Small business owners who make $250,000 and above file their business taxes as part of their individual returns. By the time the small business owner pays his contractors, expenses for the vehicles used for the business, benefits, and other overhead, he may have only $40-50,000 left. Tack on another $15,000 imposed by Obama’s additional taxes (because he’s so “rich”), and the small business owner will have very little left over to live on. So he’ll either a) lay off people, b) cut pay, c) cut benefits, d) not give raises, e) not add new jobs, or f) go out of business and do something else. Obama + Democrat-controlled Senate + Democrat-controlled House is what will bring this about, with their “wealth redistribution” plans. Karl Marx: “From each, according to his ability, to each, according to his need.” But who died and made Barack Obama the arbiter of what is “fair”, and how is he going to decide what how much of our paychecks we all “need”?
So go ahead and vote for the socialist. Don’t come whining to me when, a few years down the road, the change you get was not the one you thought you’d get.

D1109, I totally agree with you.

At this Point the most intelligent Republicans/Conservatives are jumping ship. The left over residues are the ones shouting and calling everybody who ain’t for mccain a socialist and terrorist and welfare scroungers on the blogs. You braindead zombies will never know even if America moves on! And we have moved on – so your shouting and ranting is not going to change the elections. Anybody who voices an opinion or ventures to comment on a blog has already made up his/her mind.
So Stick with your candidate who has a lot of experience but no Judgement.
And I’m proudly sticking with my candidate with less experience and my God great judgement!!.

Brenda, I am applauding you for your fact-based post. You understand the full scope of what’s going on and what’s at stake.

Uh, Joe, No we are not. We are probably having more of a problem electing you (Mr. McBosniacs) with him.
Why could he not have gone with Gov. Sebelius instead?
As for Mr. Ayers, the domestic terrorist, and his wife, the domestic terrorist…
I am glad that someone has finally raised them as an issue.
Should these terrorists not be in JAIL with domestic terrorist McVeigh?
Where have are all the investigative reporters at CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX been the last thirty years?

Here is something that should make Colin Powell happy:
post-gazette.com -
Obama supports a requirement for both men and women to register with the Selective Service; McCain does not.
Obama would also consider officially opening combat positions to women; McCain would not.
Obama: “Women are already serving in combat [in Iraq and Afghanistan] and the current policy should be updated to reflect realities on the ground.”

Joe Biden should be ashamed of himself.
That must mean he knows his candidate cannot close the deal if the is playing the race card once again.
How about trying to win the contest on leadership? On competence? On ability?
Biden was down south a couple of weeks ago saying we had to vote for Obama becaues he is AA. Really?
To my way of thinking, the presidency is bigger than race, gender or age. It is about character. It is about policies that make sense and will work for the American people at this point in time.
I will NOT vote for Senator Obama and it has nothing to do with his race.
This playing of the race card is already backfiring on him big time. Keep it up, Biden. Again he puts his foot in his mouthj.

When you look at Barack Obama, you see the first African American man running for the President of the United States and you are proud. When I look at Barack Obama, I see a man who lacks character and judgement regarding his questionable and disturbing associations both privately and publically. I see a man who refuses to release his college records and thesis from Columbia and Harvard Universities. I see a man who became a Christian not because he disagreed with the teachings of the Koran he knew at that time, if he were to run for political office, voting for a Muslim, victory would be next to impossible. When you talk about Obama’s campaign, you express how brilliantly it has been run. When I speak of Obama’s campaign, I express how they are deceiving the people by telling half truths. I see a campaign that has hired staff who can be linked to others who hold extremist views.
When you hear and see Rev. Wright, you see a man of God who cares and is committed to helping the black community. When I see and hear Rev. Wright, I see a man who along with his long time friend Farrakhan, who in the name of God, spew hatred towards America, Jews and whites. Rev. Wright and Farrakhan have traveled together to Iran,what could the Iranians have that would be of interest to the black community?
Have you ever wondered why a white man, Bill Ayers, an admitted communist and radical, would help Obama jumpstart his political career? Ayers and his followers which included his wife, planted bombs at the Pentagon, police stations and the Capitol. Ayers does not have a history of being an advocate for the black community. Why would he help Barack Obama, when the two seem to have different views of the world? Or do they?
The Barack Obama I see, is a man that I believe will bring change to America but it is a change that is not in America’s interest.

Why do the democrats keep bringing up race? Its like they are obsessed with it or something.

When You See John McCain you see a war hero
When I look at John McCain I see a fraud who wouldn’t be where he is were it not for his father and grandfather.
When You see John McCain you see a prisoner of war who stood honorably for the American ideals of courage, strenght in the face of adversity
When I look at John McCain I see a Traitor who gave the vietcons so much information and betrayed America to our enemies that we lost a lot of good men in vietnam (have you ever wondered why he is so adamant about Iraq? Is it about personal atonement in Vietnam)
The vietcons praised him and called him the prince!!.
When You see John McCain You see A competent Man
When I see John McCain I see an Incompetent buffoon who crashed 4 planes whiles drunk and then crashing the 5th in vietnam costing the tax payer millions of dollars.
When you look at McCain you see a decent man
When I look at McCain I see a cheat, Unfaithful, and a self absorbed egomaniac – who’s been running for president ad infinitum

Actually Joe the Senator, maybe we’d not like to have 8 more years of an inexperienced Commander in Chief.
Sen. Obama, experience matters. I have made many mistakes in my short life. It is true, when I think about it, that each of those mistakes are among my greatest assets with respect to decision making, each and every one of them. This is because we all learn from our mistakes. At all times, I believe the best of my judgment is anchored in the cement that is my experience. I believe firmly that the longer I live, the more I will have experienced, and the better my judgment will be, on the balance. Sen. Obama, do you really believe that you have made enough mistakes to be the next President of the United States? I respect your ambition. I respect your charisma. I embrace your place in history, but I do not believe you have sufficient experience to lead this planet, not even close.
America, since the mainstream media has failed to examine Sen. Obama’s experience and lack of experience, you will have to determine for yourselves what exactly is Sen. Obama’s experience? What did he accomplish in the Illinois legislature? He was only there for a handful of years. What did he promise he would accomplish? What did he accomplish in the U.S. Senate? He has only been on the job as a U.S. Senator for 1xx days. What did he promise he would accomplish? What has he changed in this world? This country? The Presidency of the United States is an executive position Sen. Obama. Do you have any executive experience? Have you created a budget, negotiated a budget, revised a budget or managed adherence to a budget?
Sen. Obama insists on presenting Sen. McCain’s experience as being only an puppet of the Bush administration. I saw Senator McCain stand up to President Bush’s Defense Secretary. He stood in a manner that no other did. He changed the course of the war in Iraq. What percentage of all GOP legislative votes sided with President Bush’s? What percentage of all Democrat legislative votes sided with Presidents Clinton, Carter and Johnson’s policies? I have no idea, but I’d venture to guess that, had the media presented that information to the American public, we’d find rank and file partisanship throughout our recent history. How many Americans would be surprise by that?
Well Senator Obama, you might be able to claim that you did not support the Iraq war resolution, but what can you offer as proof that it was the right decision at that moment in our history? You were after all in the small minority. Our country was after all reeling from the worst terror attack in our nation’s history. How would history have judged President Bush had he not led our troops into Iraq and then, a massive terror attack occurred yesterday, perpetrated by terrorists that lived and trained in Iraq over the past few years, with or without knowledge of Saddam Hussein? I think about it this way: history failed to present enough evidence to push the World to coalesce and intervene in 1930s Europe. But modern history is 100% clear on that point, it would have been the correct decision. History might well judge the Iraq war to be not a right decision. History will judge the Bush administration on many points. One of those may even record it, in part, as a series of lapses in the judgment of a young President, swayed by the belief and conviction of an older, seasoned Vice President and the overwhelming circumstances of a world that had changed dramatically, in an instant. I agree with you Sen. Obama that we don’t need another eight years of the Bush Administration, we dont need another eight years of an inexperienced President.
Mr. Gibson, Ms. Couric, Ms. Behar, Ms. Mitchell … you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You and your colleagues might think you have the power to micro-filter democracy’s messages to your liking, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You might think you have the power to subtly, and not so subtly promote and gather others to blindly promote one candidacy, while casting another in the least flattering manner possible, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You do not get to dismantle America’s vote. The mainstream media bias in this election is at best described as repugnant and at worst, a slap to the face of democracy; an assault on the moral and righteous ideal that all American voters should be free to construct their vote on the basis of readily available, factually complete, accurate, relevant and unbiased fact. It is my opinion that, during this election cycle more than any other I have witnessed, the mainstream media has failed millions of American’s who rely on them, as a basis for constructing their vote. Am I wrong? I might be wrong, but I’ll ask you, the American voters to decide that for yourself, by asking yourself some questions. Questions such as why was so much time spent this election cycle mining for dirt in Alaska, why was so little time was spent tracking laundry in Illinois? Why has the mainstream media spent so little time illuminating the razor thin experience that the junior Senator from Illinois maintains as his credentials? Indeed, if the media was prepared to be fair and honest, they would have been able to report, with incontrovertible confidence, that they were reporting fact, that the candidate having the most experience directly relevant to the position of the Presidency of the United States is actually the candidate that has been relentlessly attacked by the media, both personally and professionally. The mainstream media owes an apology to American Democracy for its treatment of Gov. Palin. Why is it, that after finally deciding to give minimal airtime to the ACORN voter registration fraud issue, was it not mentioned that Sen. Obama’s campaign funded ACORN? Sen. Obama, in my mind, there is no distinction between committing voter registration fraud, serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud or funding those serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud. During the last debate, you did a fine job of distancing yourself from ACORN, but you failed to directly confront and condemn those that perpetrate or encourage voter registration fraud. You had a nationwide audience, and you chose not to act.
The President is the commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces. That is a serious responsibility. I question how you can expect us to believe that you will effectively maintain the moral, skill and competence of our forces after you have insulted them. What will serve as your experiential basis for leading the U.S. Military? Do you have any military experience at all? Have you ever served in ROTC? Do you know firsthand the horrors of war? I believe that firsthand knowledge and experience is the most critical element one can use in formulating decisions, including the determination of when to and when not to deploy U.S. Military forces. Sen. McCain has that experience. That I know. That he has shown. The media can’t take that away from him.
With regard to foreign policy experience, do you think you are qualified to navigate the most powerful democracy the world knows during a time when the fundamentals of democracy are very much under attack? Are you ready to face Mr. Putin? Mr. Chavez? Kim Jung Ill? China? Iran? Are you ready to answer the 03:00 phone call? What experience do you have that I should judge gives you readiness? What is that experience? What foreign leaders have you negotiated with directly? What treaties have you signed? The media has presented none and neither have you. I have a good number of stamps in my passport Sen. Obama. I lived and worked in Germany for a brief period. Sen. Obama, I am not qualified by a longshot to make United States foreign policy, and you may only be marginally more qualified than I.
The oratorical is no substitute for judgment or experience Senator Obama. I do not believe that you have the experience to be President of our country. Experience matters Sen. Obama, and you are not ready, you have not made enough mistakes. But most glaring to me, Senator Obama is the one mistake that you seem willing to make over and over and it is the worst mistake one can make. That mistake is the action of not owning one’s mistakes.
Sen. Obama, you claim that you will cut taxes on 95% of all Americans. Is that true? Or let me rephrase, how can that be true? You told the voters of Illinois that you would cut taxes, but you have failed to do so in the U.S. Senate. Did you even try? Did you present a bill? Were it a committee issue did you encourage your peers to present one? Have you ever voted for a tax cut? What did you mean Senator Obama when you told Plumber Joe that you wanted to spread the wealth? Do you mean that you want to take money from Joe and give it to those with less money? Your running mate, Sen. Biden has commented that you would not be taxing additionaly those making under $250,000 a year. Sen. Biden commented that he knows no plumbers that make over $250,000 a year. I think that those who claim your tax policies embody class warfare are wrong. Wrong, because the policies are class warfare policies, but they are not directed against the haves, they are directed against the have-nots. Senator Biden, you may well be correct that few plumbers earn over $250,000 a year, but some that own plumbing contracting businesses probably do. What do those that spin your message have planned to say to that one plumber out of maybe six or seven that was employed by a plumbing company, but was laid off, because business is slow, new homes weren’t being built and President Obama’s tax increase forced the owner of the plumbing business to lay her off? The owner tried every angle possible, but was forced to make a tough decision. They were faced with the prospect of either making a tough decision or risk running the entire operation into financial distress and end up having to close operations and fire all workers? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell her that, even though she has no job, she does at least still have affordable healthcare? Senator Obama what will you say to the unemployed plumber in Ohio, father of two, that nearly had a job secured, the owner had just signed a good contract for a small building and he was ready to hire that plumber, but learned from his accountant, that Senator Obama’s tax increase has made it not possible to hire another employee? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell that plumber, that even though he still has no job, he does have a lower tax burden
Sen. Obama, you have stated over and over that Sen. McCain supports tax breaks for corporations that send their jobs overseas. The media has not reported on this one way or another, but if you are correct, then I commend Sen. McCain for doing so. What you don’t get, Sen. Obama, or perhaps don’t want the American public to get, is that income taxes, to a for profit enterprise are expenses not much different from the costs of raw materials and salary expenses for purposes of this discussion. All else equal, ladies and gentleman, a corporation will locate itself, and its jobs, or begin to locate itself and its jobs, in areas where it is least penalized in terms of taxes. This is how for profit American corporations behave and this is how they must behave. Their competitors are operating in that manner, continually scouring expenses to search for reduction opportunities. They have to. If they do not, they will be at a cost disadvantage and if their tactical errors are sustained, they may well go out of business in which case, even those jobs which remain in the United States, could also disappear. Even if the company does not fail entirely, some jobs may be eliminated, and chances are great that the highest cost jobs would be targeted first. Sen. Obama, America is not a low cost country, in these circumstances, they would be targeted first, all else equal. When those jobs are cut Sen. Obama, those new unemployed will not have money to support the ‘under $250k’ crowd…they won’t have money to support small businesses…is it sinking in at all?
Your position of not supporting tax breaks for corporations that export jobs overseas, indeed, only encourages them, at the margin, to further export jobs, or slow their job creation in the United States or end their job creation in the United States. This is global economic reality. The media can not distort this fact for you. At the final debate, I heard you add a carrot to your plans. You pulled that same tax string attached to the back of your head and out came the message you think the voters want to hear. If I got it correct, you’ll give tax credits to corporations that create jobs in America. In case you don’t know Senator Obama, this already happens today at the state and local level all across America. Have you thought about how much additionaly, it will cost the U.S. Treasury to employ workers, in an audit fashion, in order to verify which of all the xx million jobs that corporations claim they created actually exist? What are the time constraints? How long must they keep the job filled in order to receive the credit? What would happen when that time passes? Let me get this correct, you want to first keep tax rates on corporations high or raise them – thereby encouraging employers large and small to export their operations and jobs – and then at the same time you want to turnaround and give them a tax credit? You do realize that they are policy opposites don’t you? It looks to me that you might be trying to convince us that it would be a good idea to spend more on government for an unknown expected net job increase. If you can convince us of that Senator Obama, I’d suggest you also try to sell us a bridge to nowhere. Your tax policy is bigger government, bigger IRS, more regulatory burden on American Corporations and more administrative overhead makes them less competitive in the global market and less likely to employ. It is not the right policy Senator Obama.
Go back to the Senate and accomplish something Sen. Obama. Your candidacy is an insult to America.
oh and ps, the verdict has been in for decades on the effectiveness of spreading the wealth policies. Go visit an American Indian Reservation Sen. Obama. The only thing that has changed for the past several decades is the faces of the Washington politicians that have redistributed wealth to us. Do you have any clue what the average unemployment rate is in Indian Country Sen.Obama? Illicit drug use rate? Teen pregnancy rate? Pick a rate
Senator.

I see that Obama has lied, over, and over.
I have seen Obama, and Biden say they fight for the working class…yet mock that same working class, for simply asking a question. It wasn’t Joe’s fault, Obama exposed himsel.
I see Obama and Biden attacking anyone, and everyone that dares to disagree with them , by using racism as their weapon, and accusing others of foul play in their politics, when he blatantly lied in front of 60 million people on the last debate.

NEWSWEEK
From the magazine issue dated Oct 27, 2008
During a heated moment in his final presidential debate with Sen. John McCain, Sen. Barack Obama noted the anger of some supporters at rallies for McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “All the public reports suggested,” Obama said, that people shouted “things like ‘terrorist’ and ‘kill him’.” Making a death threat against a presidential candidate can be a crime. But even before Obama cited “reports” of the threats at the debate, the U.S. Secret Service had told media outlets, including NEWSWEEK, that it was unable to corroborate accounts of the “kill him” remarks—and according to a law-enforcement official, who asked for anonymity when discussing a political matter, the Obama campaign knew as much. Now some officials are disgruntled that Obama gave added credence to the threat by mentioning it in front of 60 million viewers.
He knew it, and he used it, for political gain…so do not even try to say this isn’t trying to be won, by using the race card.
Now let’s talk lunch. I hear Michelle is buying. Lobster appetizers, steamed lobster, Iranian caviar, and champaign anyone?
For the working class my foot!

Joe Biden thinks the undecided voters out there are racists. Say it ain’t so, Joe!
This is HUGE!
How dare Joe Biden make such unconscionable statements!
The Obama campaign and their top supporters have shown a clear pattern of accusing Americans of being racists.
Obama, Biden, Murtha, John Lewis, et al.

MORE McCAIN HYPOCRISY and the DEMOCRATS DON’T RESPOND WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CHALLENGE GOP HYPOCRISY.
Republicans have been providing tax-breaks and tax cuts for the rich individuals and corporations since Ronald Reagan’s “Trickle down” economics. The benefits were supposed to reach the middle class and it never did; at least not the impact we had hoped. But Republicans never called this SOCIALISM FOR THE RICH!
Now Senator Obama & Biden advocates tax-cuts for the middle-class and for those making less than $250,000.00; while McSame calls this SOCIALISM! This is McSame HYPOCRISY to the highest levels.
GOD Bless the United States of America!
GOD Bless the Leadership of Obama-Biden Team!

experience is the mistakes you make in life.
Judgement is looking at sombody’s mistake and refusing to make them
and that my friends is something John McCain Lacks and Obama has in abundance

Senator Biden:
So, it’s race that is holding back the undecided?
Hmm … so, now its because someone is “black” that we don’t want to elect him.
I am offended.
The issue is not whether Obama is black (unless you are black), or McCain is white.
The issue is whom can I trust to do the “right thing?”
Our Country is going through a banking crisis.
Housing values are deflating. We are deeply in debt. The budget deficit is growing every day.
We are about to go through a very tough recession. It will last for at least 18 – 24 months.
Unemployment will go as high as 9%.
We are fighting two wars.
The Islamic terrorists are still out there and wanting to do horrific harm to our country.
I could go on … but let’s just stop there.
In the face of these facts, you say that it is racist to reject an extreme Liberal politician.
A politician who has never reached across the aisle in any meaningful way.
A politician who is not willing to fully acknowledge his past associations with various hard left individuals
A politician who does not want to grow the economy, but who instead believes in sharing the wealth around?
A politician who wants to raise taxes on the rich, while giving rebate checks (welfare) to the rest?
If we need to raise taxes to balance the budget and pay down the national debt over time, repeal the Bush tax cuts in their entirety and end the “structural deficits.”
A politician who wants to deny workers the right to a secret ballot when choosing a union?
A politician who wants to force “fairness” on radio hosts?
The list is much longer, but let me stop there.
Sorry, Senator … but “racism” has nothing to do with it …

You repulsivecans are so disgusting. You have the guts to talk about obama being a socialist – Yet it is john mccain who wants to buy back bad mortgages from the banks – so people can live in the homes they couldnt afford to pay for – if that is not the world’s largest and astronomical socialist enterprise – then l dont know what is – like mccain once said just lay back and enjoy it!! – if you are anti socialist then vote against Mccain,
oops! l forgot you are braindead – therefore you wouldn’t know the difference.!

Dear Senator Biden,
Senator Obama, the last I know, is the least transparent of all the modern day Presidential candidates. Although much has not been required of previous candidates, where is the dishonor of providing things that the electorate is clamoring for? Are there things to hide? Senator McCain has shown us his medical history. Senator Obama’s 20 plus year medical history is only on one page? Please. Furthermore, we’d would like to know who Senator Obama’s obstetrician was and at which hospital in Hawaii. You would think, Senator Biden, he would readily spout them off. We already know that Senator McCain was born in Panama. Senator McCain produced that evidence early on without hesitation. Just let us know who Senator Obama really is. P.S. I would love to see Senator Obama play Governor Palin in a one on one pickup game. Winners, of course.

Brad,
I do totally agree that the mortgage buyout is totally socialistic as well. However, let’s take the flip side of it. We should let ALL the banks AND FINANCIAL systems FAIL. You would like that, won’t you? OK, so you can pay cash. How will the large corporations get the CREDIT LINES to buy the merchandise and services you clamor for? How about all the super markets, gas stations and department stores all close down for one week. How much will you be clamoring for a little bit of government intervention? Already, in parts of the country, CAR DEALERSHIPS are closing because of lack of credit. Don’t hope too hard. You may get your wish.

Actually Joe the Senator, we just don’t want another 8 more years of Bush…8 more years of an inexperienced young President.
Mr. Powell, say it isn’t so!!! You above all, I would have thought would not want us to have 8 more years of an inexperienced Commander in Chief.
Sen. Obama, experience matters. I have made many mistakes in my short life. It is true, when I think about it, that each of those mistakes are among my greatest assets with respect to decision making, each and every one of them. This is because we all learn from our mistakes. At all times, I believe the best of my judgment is anchored in the cement that is my experience. I believe firmly that the longer I live, the more I will have experienced, and the better my judgment will be, on the balance. Sen. Obama, do you really believe that you have made enough mistakes to be the next President of the United States? I respect your ambition. I respect your charisma. I embrace your place in history, but I do not believe you have sufficient experience to lead this planet, not even close.
America, since the mainstream media has failed to examine Sen. Obama’s experience and lack of experience, you will have to determine for yourselves what exactly is Sen. Obama’s experience? What did he accomplish in the Illinois legislature? He was only there for a handful of years. What did he promise he would accomplish? What did he accomplish in the U.S. Senate? He has only been on the job as a U.S. Senator for 1xx days. What did he promise he would accomplish? What has he changed in this world? This country? The Presidency of the United States is an executive position Sen. Obama. Do you have any executive experience? Have you created a budget, negotiated a budget, revised a budget or managed adherence to a budget?
Sen. Obama insists on presenting Sen. McCain’s experience as being only an puppet of the Bush administration. I saw Senator McCain stand up to President Bush’s Defense Secretary. He stood in a manner that no other did. He changed the course of the war in Iraq. What percentage of all GOP legislative votes sided with President Bush’s? What percentage of all Democrat legislative votes sided with Presidents Clinton, Carter and Johnson’s policies? I have no idea, but I’d venture to guess that, had the media presented that information to the American public, we’d find rank and file partisanship throughout our recent history. How many Americans would be surprise by that?
Well Senator Obama, you might be able to claim that you did not support the Iraq war resolution, but what can you offer as proof that it was the right decision at that moment in our history? You were after all in the small minority. Our country was after all reeling from the worst terror attack in our nation’s history. How would history have judged President Bush had he not led our troops into Iraq and then, a massive terror attack occurred yesterday, perpetrated by terrorists that lived and trained in Iraq over the past few years, with or without knowledge of Saddam Hussein? I think about it this way: history failed to present enough evidence to push the World to coalesce and intervene in 1930s Europe. But modern history is 100% clear on that point, it would have been the correct decision. History might well judge the Iraq war to be not a right decision. History will judge the Bush administration on many points. One of those may even record it, in part, as a series of lapses in the judgment of a young President, swayed by the belief and conviction of an older, seasoned Vice President and the overwhelming circumstances of a world that had changed dramatically, in an instant. I agree with you Sen. Obama that we don’t need another eight years of the Bush Administration, we dont need another eight years of an inexperienced President.
Mr. Gibson, Ms. Couric, Ms. Behar, Ms. Mitchell … you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You and your colleagues might think you have the power to micro-filter democracy’s messages to your liking, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You might think you have the power to subtly, and not so subtly promote and gather others to blindly promote one candidacy, while casting another in the least flattering manner possible, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You do not get to dismantle America’s vote. The mainstream media bias in this election is at best described as repugnant and at worst, a slap to the face of democracy; an assault on the moral and righteous ideal that all American voters should be free to construct their vote on the basis of readily available, factually complete, accurate, relevant and unbiased fact. It is my opinion that, during this election cycle more than any other I have witnessed, the mainstream media has failed millions of American’s who rely on them, as a basis for constructing their vote. Am I wrong? I might be wrong, but I’ll ask you, the American voters to decide that for yourself, by asking yourself some questions. Questions such as why was so much time spent this election cycle mining for dirt in Alaska, why was so little time was spent tracking laundry in Illinois? Why has the mainstream media spent so little time illuminating the razor thin experience that the junior Senator from Illinois maintains as his credentials? Indeed, if the media was prepared to be fair and honest, they would have been able to report, with incontrovertible confidence, that they were reporting fact, that the candidate having the most experience directly relevant to the position of the Presidency of the United States is actually the candidate that has been relentlessly attacked by the media, both personally and professionally. The mainstream media owes an apology to American Democracy for its treatment of Gov. Palin. Why is it, that after finally deciding to give minimal airtime to the ACORN voter registration fraud issue, was it not mentioned that Sen. Obama’s campaign funded ACORN? Sen. Obama, in my mind, there is no distinction between committing voter registration fraud, serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud or funding those serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud. During the last debate, you did a fine job of distancing yourself from ACORN, but you failed to directly confront and condemn those that perpetrate or encourage voter registration fraud. You had a nationwide audience, and you chose not to act.
The President is the commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces. That is a serious responsibility. I question how you can expect us to believe that you will effectively maintain the morale, skill and competence of our forces after you have insulted them. What will serve as your experiential basis for leading the U.S. Military? Do you have any military experience at all? Have you ever served in ROTC? Do you know firsthand the horrors of war? I believe that firsthand knowledge and experience is the most critical element one can use in formulating decisions, including the determination of when to and when not to deploy U.S. Military forces. Sen. McCain has that experience. That I know. That he has shown. The media can’t take that away from him.
With regard to foreign policy experience, do you think you are qualified to navigate the most powerful democracy the world knows during a time when the fundamentals of democracy are very much under attack? Are you ready to face Mr. Putin? Mr. Chavez? Kim Jung Ill? China? Iran? Are you ready to answer the 03:00 phone call? What experience do you have that I should judge gives you readiness? What is that experience? What foreign leaders have you negotiated with directly? What treaties have you signed? The media has presented none and neither have you. I have a good number of stamps in my passport Sen. Obama. I lived and worked in Germany for a brief period. Sen. Obama, I am not qualified by a longshot to make United States foreign policy, and you may only be marginally more qualified than I.
The oratorical is no substitute for judgment or experience Senator Obama. I do not believe that you have the experience to be President of our country. Experience matters Sen. Obama, and you are not ready, you have not made enough mistakes. But most glaring to me, Senator Obama is the one mistake that you seem willing to make over and over and it is the worst mistake one can make. That mistake is the action of not owning one’s mistakes.
Sen. Obama, you claim that you will cut taxes on 95% of all Americans. Is that true? Or let me rephrase, how can that be true? You told the voters of Illinois that you would cut taxes, but you have failed to do so in the U.S. Senate. Did you even try? Did you present a bill? Were it a committee issue did you encourage your peers to present one? Have you ever voted for a tax cut? What did you mean Senator Obama when you told Plumber Joe that you wanted to spread the wealth? Do you mean that you want to take money from Joe and give it to those with less money? Your running mate, Sen. Biden has commented that you would not be taxing additionaly those making under $250,000 a year. Sen. Biden commented that he knows no plumbers that make over $250,000 a year. I think that those who claim your tax policies embody class warfare are wrong. Wrong, because the policies are class warfare policies, but they are not directed against the haves, they are directed against the have-nots. Senator Biden, you may well be correct that few plumbers earn over $250,000 a year, but some that own plumbing contracting businesses probably do. What do those that spin your message have planned to say to that one plumber out of maybe six or seven that was employed by a plumbing company, but was laid off, because business is slow, new homes weren’t being built and President Obama’s tax increase forced the owner of the plumbing business to lay her off? The owner tried every angle possible, but was forced to make a tough decision. They were faced with the prospect of either making a tough decision or risk running the entire operation into financial distress and end up having to close operations and fire all workers? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell her that, even though she has no job, she does at least still have affordable healthcare? Senator Obama what will you say to the unemployed plumber in Ohio, father of two, that nearly had a job secured, the owner had just signed a good contract for a small building and he was ready to hire that plumber, but learned from his accountant, that Senator Obama’s tax increase has made it not possible to hire another employee? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell that plumber, that even though he still has no job, he does have a lower tax burden
Sen. Obama, you have stated over and over that Sen. McCain supports tax breaks for corporations that send their jobs overseas. The media has not reported on this one way or another, but if you are correct, then I commend Sen. McCain for doing so. What you don’t get, Sen. Obama, or perhaps don’t want the American public to get, is that income taxes, to a for profit enterprise are expenses not much different from the costs of raw materials and salary expenses for purposes of this discussion. All else equal, ladies and gentleman, a corporation will locate itself, and its jobs, or begin to locate itself and its jobs, in areas where it is least penalized in terms of taxes. This is how for profit American corporations behave and this is how they must behave. Their competitors are operating in that manner, continually scouring expenses to search for reduction opportunities. They have to. If they do not, they will be at a cost disadvantage and if their tactical errors are sustained, they may well go out of business in which case, even those jobs which remain in the United States, could also disappear. Even if the company does not fail entirely, some jobs may be eliminated, and chances are great that the highest cost jobs would be targeted first. Sen. Obama, America is not a low cost country, in these circumstances, they would be targeted first, all else equal. When those jobs are cut Sen. Obama, those new unemployed will not have money to support the ‘under $250k’ crowd…they won’t have money to support small businesses…is it sinking in at all?
Your position of not supporting tax breaks for corporations that export jobs overseas, indeed, only encourages them, at the margin, to further export jobs, or slow their job creation in the United States or end their job creation in the United States. This is global economic reality. The media can not distort this fact for you. At the final debate, I heard you add a carrot to your plans. You pulled that same tax string attached to the back of your head and out came the message you think the voters want to hear. If I got it correct, you’ll give tax credits to corporations that create jobs in America. In case you don’t know Senator Obama, this already happens today at the state and local level all across America. Have you thought about how much additionaly, it will cost the U.S. Treasury to employ workers, in an audit fashion, in order to verify which of all the xx million jobs that corporations claim they created actually exist? What are the time constraints? How long must they keep the job filled in order to receive the credit? What would happen when that time passes? Let me get this correct, you want to first keep tax rates on corporations high or raise them – thereby encouraging employers large and small to export their operations and jobs – and then at the same time you want to turnaround and give them a tax credit? You do realize that they are policy opposites don’t you? It looks to me that you might be trying to convince us that it would be a good idea to spend more on government for an unknown expected net job increase. If you can convince us of that Senator Obama, I’d suggest you also try to sell us a bridge to nowhere. Your tax policy is bigger government, bigger IRS, more regulatory burden on American Corporations and more administrative overhead makes them less competitive in the global market and less likely to employ. It is not the right policy Senator Obama.
Go back to the Senate and accomplish something Sen. Obama. Your candidacy is an insult to America.
oh and ps, the verdict has been in for decades on the effectiveness of spreading the wealth policies. Go visit an American Indian Reservation Sen. Obama. The only thing that has changed for the past several decades is the faces of the Washington politicians that have redistributed wealth to us. Do you have any clue what the average unemployment rate is in Indian Country Sen.Obama? Illicit drug use rate? Teen pregnancy rate? Pick a rate
Senator.

I think a lot of people will vote for Obama but say they are voting for McCain because they don’t want their Rep friends to turn on them or lose their jobs. Being an Independent living in a Red state, I had a lot of people tell me this, and asked me not to say a word because they live in fear. How American is that? I have said from day one I am voting for Obama, and yet they leave me along. I still have my friends, but on friend has been outted from their group because he wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. He believe’s like Powell, picking Palin is the death to McCain’s campaign.

Are you kidding me biden…..race?
How about questionable character and associations, naivete, inexperience, dishonesty, self centered narcissis. And that’s what we know about.

I love the fact that obama wants to take 70% of my paycheck. I love the fact that if you are over 50 and have medical issues, 2 bad so sad your old you die. I love the fact that the lazy people in this Country are going to be able to work the system even more than they already do at the exspense of us hard working people while they lay in bed till noon and go shopping and buy the good life at our exspense. I love the fact that where will the people from canada go for medical attention?? Can’t come here anymore, we will have the same system.It is such a good system, just ask the people of Hawaii how well it worked for them after 7 months. Most of all I love the fact that 6 months after Obama is in office, you idiots are going to be crying your eyes out and I will be able to laugh in your face. Remember the old saying becareful what you wish for!!! It usually comes back and bites you!!!

The ad is negative because it contains obama dirty deeds.
Definitely not presidential material.

Gee, I guess it could never have anything with people actually not liking what Obama stands for on the issues. This country has become retarded on race.

obama wants to spread the wealth around……say what?
- I worked hard, 10-12 hour day most of the time to build my business and employs people in the community.
- I save and invest for my children educations, savings and for our retirement.
Now obama wants to take what I worked hard for a spread it around?
I have 2 words for you obama, it’s FU.

Buying up “bad mortgages” to address the root of the problem is neither “socialist” nor “capitalist,” but rather necessary government intervention in a time of crisis.
Why? We have a financial crisis. Fix that and you still have falling housing values and declining consumer demand.
At the same time, we have a ballooning budget deficit; and a national debt which has more than doubled in 8 short years … the last 2 when the Democrats controlled the House and Senate.
The issue is who has the character and judgment to make the right calls in this time of crisis?
The problem with Obama is that he does not believe the way to recovery is to grow the economy.
Rather, he believes the way to solve our crisis is to “share the wealth around.”
That fundamental philosophy will not lead to recovery, rather it will lead to a long period of declining or very slow growth. Remember Jimmy Carter?
The Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 created a structural imbalance.
Obama is talking about allowing the taxes on the “rich” to expire, while giving welfare (woops, I am sorry, tax rebates) to the working poor.
Do you want a welfare check from the government? No.
Do we want “PELROB?”
Pelosi, Reid and Obama?
That is what we get if we elect Obama as President.
Or do we want someone who will put together a true national unity administration?
Like him or hate him, we know who Senator McCain is … a great man, who admits his faults.
A man who has served his country with honor and dignity.
A man who is offering himself for service again at a time of a very severe crisis.
A man who understands the need for action.
A man who has detailed his plans to govern and put them on the table.
But at the same time, a man who has said that he does not need the fame and is willing to listen to any good idea from any quarter, while giving credit where credit is due.
Do you see Senator Obama saying he will balance the budget in 4 years? Nope.
Senator McCain has made this commitment. That is his goal.
Yes, Obama is intelligent. Yes, Obama has an even “temperament.”
But what are his core values?
You can only determine those by looking at a man’s actions …
Some recent examples:
A man who voted present more than 130 times in the Illinois Senate.
Why? Because he was unwilling to take a position.
A man who hid in the US Senate cloak room rather than vote on a resolution condemning the Moveon.org ad calling into question General Petreaus.
Why? Because he did not want to go against his base support group.
A man who wrote a letter to the Treasury with his concerns about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, rather than supporting legislation as Senator McCain which could have helped mitigate the present crisis.
Why? Because he did not want to come out against his party’s leadership.
How did he deal with being a 20 year member of a church whose Pastor preached Black Liberation Theology?
He denied ever hearing those “hateful words.” He only gave up his membership in the Church after a huge media storm and Father Wright’s Press Conference while running for President.
Hmm … does that sound genuine or disingenious and “staged?”
A man who said that he would accept public financing. Then he turned around and said “no” going back on his word.
Interesting that while McCain has disclosed all those who have contributed under $200.00, Obama has refused.
Why? Because we have people contributing multiple times, exceeding the limits under assumed names, etc., etc.
Now compare that with a man who was a prison of war, left for dead, suffering from horrible wounds, who refused early release because it was the right thing to do.
When you are President, you do not get to vote present, hide in the cloak room, simply write a letter, or “set up” your departure from your church when it becomes a huge liability, after being there for 20 years.
You need to be a leader and take action.
Senator Obama refuses to admit that he was ever wrong.
When an attack is hitting close to home, he calls it a “distraction” and then sends out the hit squad to smear his opponent, or even better says “he does not get it.” Right.
He decries a good idea when put forward by someone else (Clinton’s Housing proposal) and then later takes it as his own without any acknowledgment.
Senator Obama is a classic “go along, get along hard left Liberal politician” who is ruthless and cynical.
He will use anybody, do anything and say anything to achieve power.
Is that what we need at this time of crisis?
Or do we need someone whose true character has been tested time and again?
With the wisdom to understand that now is not the time for ideology?
But rather is it time for a reformer?
A person who can and will work with the Democrats, Republicans and Independents?
A person who will exercise good judgment, while putting his country first?
McCain is no saint. He will be the first to admit he is far from perfect.
But, he is honest and he is wise.

Who reads this long crap anyway?

So now undecided voters are racist? To be undecided, according to the VP candidate, is to have a problem with Obama being African-American?
These accusations of racism are ugly, negative, constant and divisive. For gods sake, stop it. Stop playing with this country. Maybe it’s a game to the Obama campaign, but the rest of us are having a hard time out here, and this kind of ugly talk is not what we need.
You’re allowed to have a different candidate or not support Obama, last time I checked. You shouldn’t be accused of racism because of it.

Chad22 said: Who reads this long crap anyway?
I do, and it was well thought out, and very well said.
You might try reading sometime, instead of getting your arguments from Ariana , or the Kos.
John deserves applause for that post, for first, and foremost, he never showed any disrespect, or lowered himself to name calling.
We can tell the difference, between wisdom, and adolesence.

I’m ashamed of the hateful and foul language in the earlier articles, especially written by Rodney,chad22 and anyone who uses says Dam America. If you aren’t happy here in America, why don’t you go to where ever you can find it better.America was founded on the ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE.
I believe we are in the Last Days because of the evil and ungodly acts , such as the homosexual life style, murdering the unborn and the born-alive infants that are being killed,here in the United States of America.
I am not judging you ,God has already judged you in his word.
If you want to change and live the life that God intended for his people to live, you can change,but you have to ask God to forgive you for the sin that you are in,it’s not you personally, it is the sin.
I feel that voting Democrat, I would be opening the door to one of the fore-runners of the anti-christ, who is to come who will deceive all, who don’t know and believe in the true Christ.
JESUS is coming back to rapture those who are living for him, and the ones who don’t accept him now,he won’t remember you at the judgement, and you will go to Hell. This is my christian belief, and I’m not intending to offend any other religon.

No. Joe the Senator, we’re just struggling to rationalize electing a man with about as much experience as my Uncle Leo.
Sen. Obama, experience matters. I have made many mistakes in my short life. It is true, when I think about it, that each of those mistakes are among my greatest assets with respect to decision making, each and every one of them. This is because we all learn from our mistakes. At all times, I believe the best of my judgment is anchored in the cement that is my experience. I believe firmly that the longer I live, the more I will have experienced, and the better my judgment will be, on the balance. Sen. Obama, do you really believe that you have made enough mistakes to be the next President of the United States? Many say that what you won’t make the same mistakes that others have because of your sound judgement (ie, your choice of pastor). The only thing, Senator, is that there still remain many mistakes yet to be written into this planet’s history books. You won’t always have the benefit of others experience, you’ll have to leverage your own experience and you have too little on which to base your judgement. I respect your ambition. I respect your charisma. I embrace your place in history, but I do not believe you have sufficient experience to lead this planet, not even close.
America, since the mainstream media has failed to examine Sen. Obama’s experience and lack of experience, you will have to determine for yourselves what exactly is Sen. Obama’s experience? What did he accomplish in the Illinois legislature? He was only there for a handful of years. What did he promise he would accomplish? What did he accomplish in the U.S. Senate?

The Presidency of the United States is an executive position Sen. Obama. Do you have any executive experience?

Sen. Obama insists on presenting Sen. McCain’s experience as being only an puppet of the Bush administration. I saw Senator McCain stand up to President Bush’s Defense Secretary.

You and your colleagues might think you have the power to micro-filter democracy’s messages to your liking, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You might think you have the power to subtly, and not so subtly promote and gather others to blindly promote one candidacy, while casting another in the least flattering manner possible, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You do not get to dismantle America’s vote. The mainstream media bias in this election is at best described as repugnant and at worst, a slap to the face of democracy; an assault on the moral and righteous ideal that all American voters should be free to construct their vote on the basis of readily available, factually complete, accurate, relevant and unbiased fact. It is my opinion that, during this election cycle more than any other I have witnessed, the mainstream media has failed millions of American’s who rely on them, as a basis for constructing their vote. Am I wrong? I might be wrong, but I’ll ask you, the American voters to decide that for yourself, by asking yourself some questions. Questions such as why was so much time spent this election cycle mining for dirt in Alaska, why was so little time was spent tracking laundry in Illinois? Why has the mainstream media spent so little time illuminating the razor thin experience that the junior Senator from Illinois maintains as his credentials? Indeed, if the media was prepared to be fair and honest, they would have been able to report, with incontrovertible confidence, that they were reporting fact, that the candidate having the most experience directly relevant to the position of the Presidency of the United States is actually the candidate that has been relentlessly attacked by the media, both personally and professionally. The mainstream media owes an apology to American Democracy for its treatment of Gov. Palin. Why is it, that after finally deciding to give minimal airtime to the ACORN voter registration fraud issue, was it not mentioned that Sen. Obama’s campaign funded ACORN? Sen. Obama, in my mind, there is no distinction between committing voter registration fraud, serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud or funding those serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud. During the last debate, you did a fine job of distancing yourself from ACORN, but you failed to directly confront and condemn those that perpetrate or encourage voter registration fraud. You had a nationwide audience, and you chose not to act.
The President is the commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces. That is a serious responsibility. I question how you can expect us to believe that you will effectively maintain the morale, skill and competence of our forces after you have insulted them (I have a friend that is an Army Reservist. He is deploying, again, to Iraq. He has a wife, a son and a daughter. He does not serve so that he can kill children and raid villages Senator). What will serve as your experiential basis for leading the U.S. Military? Do you have any military experience at all? Have you ever served in ROTC? Did you at least play with the little green plastic troops when you lived in Hawaii? Do you know firsthand the horrors of war? I believe that firsthand knowledge and experience is the most critical element one can use in formulating decisions, including the determination of when to and when not to deploy U.S. Military forces. Sen. McCain has that experience. That I know. That he has shown. The media can’t take that away from him.
With regard to foreign policy experience, do you think you are qualified to navigate the most powerful democracy the world knows during a time when the fundamentals of democracy are very much under attack? Are you ready to face Mr. Putin? Mr. Chavez? Kim Jung mentally Ill? China? Iran? Are you ready to answer the 03:00 phone call? What experience do you have that I should judge gives you readiness? What is that experience? What foreign leaders have you negotiated with directly? What treaties have you signed? The media has presented none and neither have you. I have a good number of stamps in my passport Sen. Obama. I lived and worked in Germany for a brief period. Sen. Obama, I am not qualified by a longshot to make United States foreign policy, and you may only be marginally more qualified than I.
The oratorical is no substitute for judgment or experience Senator Obama. I do not believe that you have the experience to be President of our country. Experience matters Sen. Obama, and you are not ready, you have not made enough mistakes. But most glaring to me, Senator Obama is the one mistake that you seem willing to make over and over and it is the worst mistake one can make. That mistake is the action of not owning and learning from one’s mistakes. The surge worked Senator.
Sen. Obama, you claim that you will cut taxes on 95% of all Americans. Is that true? Or let me rephrase, how can that be true? You told the voters of Illinois that you would cut taxes, but you have failed to do so in the U.S. Senate. Did you even try? Did you present a bill? Were it a committee issue did you encourage your peers to present one? Have you ever voted for a tax cut? What did you mean Senator Obama when you told Plumber Joe that you wanted to spread the wealth? Do you mean that you want to take money from Joe and give it to those with less money? Your running mate, Sen. Biden has commented that you would not be taxing additionaly those making under $250,000 a year. Sen. Biden commented that he knows no plumbers that make over $250,000 a year. I think that those who claim your tax policies embody class warfare are wrong. Wrong, because the policies are class warfare policies, but they are not directed against the haves, they are directed against the have-nots. Senator Biden, you may well be correct that few plumbers earn over $250,000 a year, but some that own plumbing contracting businesses probably do. What do those that spin your message have planned to say to that one plumber out of maybe six or seven that was employed by a plumbing company, but was laid off, because business is slow, new homes weren’t being built and President Obama’s tax increase forced the owner of the plumbing business to lay her off? The owner tried every angle possible, but was forced to make a tough decision. They were faced with the prospect of either making a tough decision or risk running the entire operation into financial distress and end up having to close operations and fire all workers? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell her that, even though she has no job, she does at least still have access to affordable healthcare? Senator Obama what will you say to the still unemployed plumber in Ohio, father of two, that nearly had a job secured, the owner had just signed a good contract for a small building and he was ready to hire that plumber, but learned from his accountant, that President Obama’s, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid’s tax increase has made it not possible to hire another employee? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell that plumber, that even though he still has no job, he does have a lower tax rate applied against his $0.00 income.
Sen. Obama, you have stated over and over that Sen. McCain supports tax breaks for corporations that send their jobs overseas. The media has not reported on this one way or another, but if you are correct, then I commend Sen. McCain for doing so. What you don’t get, Sen. Obama, or perhaps don’t want the American public to get, is that income taxes, to a for profit enterprise are expenses not much different from the costs of raw materials and salary expenses for purposes of this discussion. All else equal, ladies and gentleman, a corporation will locate itself, and its jobs, or begin to locate itself and its jobs, in areas where it is least penalized in terms of taxes. This is how for profit American corporations behave and this is how they must behave. Their competitors are operating in that manner, continually scouring expenses to search for reduction opportunities. They have to. If they do not, they will be at a cost disadvantage and if their tactical errors are sustained, they may well go out of business in which case, even those jobs which remain in the United States, could also disappear. Even if the company does not fail entirely, some jobs may be eliminated, and chances are great that the highest cost jobs would be targeted first. Sen. Obama, America is not a low cost country, in these circumstances, high cost American jobs would be targeted first, all else equal. When those jobs are cut Sen. Obama, those finding themselves newly unemployed will not have money to support the ‘under $250k’ crowd…they won’t have money to support small businesses…is it sinking in at all?
Your position of not supporting tax breaks for corporations that export jobs overseas, indeed, only encourages them, at the margin, to further export jobs, or slow their job creation in the United States or end their job creation in the United States. This is global economic reality. The media can not distort this fact for you. At the final debate, I heard you add a carrot to your plans. You pulled that same tax string attached to the back of your head and out came the message your handlers have planted in you, that message you think the voters want to hear. I was laughing a bit, but if I understand you correctly, you’ll give tax credits to corporations that create jobs in America. In case you don’t know Senator Obama, this already happens today at the state and local level all across America. Have you thought about how much additionaly, it will cost the U.S. Treasury to employ workers, in an audit fashion, in order to verify which of all the xx million jobs that corporations claim they created, were actually created or do actually exist? What are the time constraints? How long must they keep the job filled in order to receive the credit? What would happen when that timeframe passes? Let me point this out to my fellow voters. Senator Obama wants to first keep tax rates on corporations high or raise them – thereby encouraging employers large and small to export their operations and jobs – and then at the same time he wants to turnaround and give them a tax credit for jobs they create? Senator, or maybe I should be addressing your advisers, you do realize that the two are policy opposites don’t you? It looks to me that you might be trying to convince us that it would be a good idea to spend more on government for an unknown expected net job decrease/increase. If you can convince us that those are winning policies Senator Obama, then I’d suggest you save us all some trouble, sell the American voters a bridge to nowhere and retire, pen some books, give some speeches. Indeed, your tax policy is bigger government, bigger IRS, more regulatory burden on American corporations and more administrative overhead makes them less competitive in the global market and less likely to employ. It is not the right policy Senator Obama, not by a long shot.
Go back to the Senate and accomplish something Sen. Obama. Your candidacy is an insult to America.
ps, the verdict has been in for decades on the effectiveness of spreading the wealth policies. Go visit an American Indian Reservation Sen. Obama. The only thing that has changed for the past several decades is the faces of the Washington politicians that have redistributed wealth to us. Do you have any clue what the average unemployment rate is in Indian Country Sen.Obama? Illicit drug use rate? Teen pregnancy rate? Suicide rate? Pick a rate Senator.

You’re out there talking about race not even thinkng about 9/11.Those Arabs never said this is where blacks are;get them or white,hispanic and other races but they did what they want to do and off they go.Only a crack head will sit down on the computer to write about race when this country is being watched by the world in this election.we are safe here today is due to other countries help in war against terror.And its so clear that Macain have contributed so much in all this mess even saying that he will still be in Iraq for 100yrs bet you me,if he wins,both me and you will be running for our their lifes.
We need a break from republican party.We need to bring the world on our side again

Hannitys America is airing a show right now all should watch

Obama points to China and says, “Look at China and all the great things they are doing.” Obama forgot to mention the Chinese living in large cities earn about $330.00 per year, work on average of ten or more hours a day and NO holiday time. Just call the Democrats COOLIES.
The Nameless City Worker (Because the worker FEARS for their life.)
Jobs in the city pay more than jobs at the factories. However, the cost of living in the city is much higher as well. It’s not uncommon to find 4 or 5 people sharing a small apartment. Most unskilled jobs in Shanghai pay 1000 to 2000 RMB per month. Because of the low wages for unskilled workers, businesses create a lot of redundancy by employing a bunch of them. The restaurant industry is a prime example. They’ll have multiple greeters at the door and who knows how many more waiters inside. On our train ride to Suzhou, there was a greeter at every single train car.
Democrats would make really great greeters, but then there are the unskilled city worker that may have access to far more entertainment choices than one of the 250,000 workers at the iPod factory, they generally don’t make enough to really entertain themselves.
Nothing like Obama socialism that taxes the rich capitalist companies. Those rich capitalist companies can give Americans jobs if their taxes are kept low. When Obama calls for higher taxes of the great American corporations, then they can do it better in China for much less the cost. Of course, you will not be able to buy those cheap Chinese goods because you will not have a job, no health insurance, no house, no car, no money in the bank, no food, no education, no way to plan for a future. Gee Obama, your programs are really great, if a person can live as an insect. Not to mention that there will be very few working people to receive those tax reductions. Let’s see, that will leave the very wealthy and the poor. There will be NO MIDDLE CLASS.

Number 1 for the last 8 years where has our tax money been used? Not in this country. At least under Obama it will be used for education, health care , the economy, rebuilding this country, take a look at the roads you use the bridges you cross how many times has your insurance turned down a claim. If I made $200,000 I would be more than happy to pay 1/2 in taxes as long as the taxes were being used in this country. As for Joe the plumber if he is afraid his taxes will go up all he has to do is make sure he doesn’t earn more than $250,000. And in my state he would be doing his plumbing illegally without a license even working for someone they have to be licensed. Just like driving a car.

So, is the following something made up by “Joe the 6 term Senator” or is it something he knows or is it just playing the race card – sideways kinda?
“Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America,”
I doubt many “undecideds” are posting here – I am certainly not one of those.
I just prefer a straight answer, honest, humble, servant to his country – with a track record to prove it – over the bluff and nuanced “non-answer” persona of a “yet too young and inexperienced” candidate – whom I like as a person – but do not agree with politically at all.
Obama has shown a pragmatism – which could very well take him from being on the left of his party – to establishing himself as a good healthy center for the democratic party – It surely needs one more defined that it has now.
I compare him to Hillary, whom I would oppose on all grounds. I find Hillary to have matured and to hold more sound wisdom and understanding than Obama currently presents. Being a republican – I’d not be for Hillary nor Obama – that’s a given. But, if I had to choose between Hillary and Barack – it would be Hillary (remember I am a republican – so that’s not easy to say).
On Biden’s remarks above – I suspect he knows that Obama hasn’t closed the deal with “undecideds” and probably some of the polling data are supporting that “race” is a factor.
I hope I am wrong about that – I’d hate for “race” to be the only reason one would vote against a candidate. I dislike the idea that it would be the only reason a person would “vote for” a candidate was because the candidate was black – I dislike it – but honestly, I could understand it. It’s not wrong for a person to take pride in their race or culture – it’s not the highest moral ground – but when it comes to african americans voting for Obama – I could understand it – without animus.

Remember to VOTE!!! None of these polls mean a damned thing if we don’t vote. The neocons know how to steal elections. The only way to ensure that they don’t do it again is to give Obama/Biden a LANDSLIDE victory in every state possible. And if you live in a solid “red state” or “blue state” your vote still counts! We need a comfortable margin if we’re to ensure that our voices are heard. If it’s close they will try to keep your vote from counting. Also, don’t be intimidated at the polls!! Those RNC suits can’t do a thing to stop us from exercising our rights on Nov. 4th. We will send these scoundrels packing.

Why the liberals think that race should not be considered as a factor in this election? Why >95% of African Americans including Powell will not vote for McCain and Palin? Why is wrong for the non-blacks including Hispanics and Asians vote for McCain and Palin? I just don’t get this double standards.

Shame on you, Sen. Biden! I am a Philly native, lived really close to your state, DE, so I have followed you and supported you for over 30 years now. But, when you purposely attempt to inject race and “white man’s guilt” into this campaign, simply to “scold” white undecided voters into feeling guilty and “racist” if they CHOOSE to vote for McCain; you insult the intelligence and inherent good judgement of ALL Americans! I do not plan to vote for Barack because of his weak character and lack of solid experience in executive government. I could care less if he is black, white, or rainbow-colored. He is too GREEN for me. Respect my vote Sen. Joe Biden!

Obama supporters, please don’t get ahead of OURSELVES. The election is not here and it is not over. Anything can happen. Make sure everyone you know gets out there to vote, because you never know. I don’t want to hear comments like McCain’s done, and its over. Its not over untill every vote is counted. The polls mean absolutely nothing. The polls only show how people feel at the moment of the phone call. Don’t be one of those people that assumes that its over, and don’t go out to vote. Get out there and get your friends and families out there. I don’t want you to wake up on 5 November and wonder what the heck just happened. Vote, and get all your friends and families to vote.

So…let me get this straight:
If I were still an “undecided” voter, Joe “plugs” Biden has just insinuated that I have a “cultural” problem with Barack Obama?
Gee…nothing like NOT playing the race card, huh? Nothing like being “above racial division”, ay?
BS…pure and simple.
If I were an “undecided”, I’d take great offense at this…basically being told I’m still undecided because I might be a racist.
Did you know the word “culturally” is a racist word? Thanks to Biden and the context of his comment, it is anyway.

THE HATEFUL rallys by Palin were just as scary as she is! I was NOT pro-Obama because of his inexperience, but I am voting DEMOCRATIC. Obama did the right thing to choose experience as his running mate with Joe Biden. Our nation needs this! VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN
Posted by: Darla
——————————
Darla, perhaps you should go to one of obamas rallys and see what hatefull is.
Sarah Palin is scary? Usual leftists talking point propaganda.
At least obama recognized his weakness and get biden to help him. Too bad biden experience has being more wrong than right.
obama/biden spells disaster to our country

D, I need to correct something you wrote:
“Remember to VOTE!!! None of these polls mean a damned thing if we don’t vote. The neocons know how to steal elections.”
That should read:
Remember to VOTE!!! None of these polls mean a damned thing if we don’t vote. The DEMOCRATS, WITH THE HELP OF ACORN, know how to steal elections.
There. Fixed it.

To Darla: “Hateful” rallies by Palin? I hate to tell you this, but the accounts of things that were supposedly said by attendess at those rallies (e.g., “Kill him!”) have been DEBUNKED! NO ONE could corroborate the account, including the Secret Service detail. Sorry to disappoint you.
Contrast that with the REAL hatefulness on the side of the Left: a woman in NYC, carrying a McCain/Palin sign and having it ripped out of her hands, ripped apart, and then being beaten with it by an OBAMA supporter; Obama supporters wearing T-Shirts describing Palin as a c**t; the grave-dancing on every Lefty site whenever a high-profile dies or becomes ill.
Want to see more examples of the kind of peace, love, and tolerance demonstrated by the oh-so-loving, oh-so-much-better-than-the-rest-of-us Democrats? All you need to do is look here:
http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=MjM4NjFjZTc5MGJmMzkzMDE1NWUzZDlkOTEzOWUxMzQ=

Oh, yes, since the Republicans have not said a word about Obama’s race, the Democrats have to bring it back up again. Since everyone in this country that does not support Obama is a racist, what are the people who do not support McCain? Anti-Senior Citizenists? If they don’t like Palin, are they sexists? Do you hear the Repubs spouting this every day? No. Just like most “examples” of racism today. It is all in their heads.
A co-worker applied for a position. He was 19, knew how to perform one task out of ten necessary to do the job, and was a high school drop out. He was black, and no he didn’t drop out to work and support a family, etc. He smoked dope in his car during lunch and returned to work high every day so what does that tell you. Another co-worker applied, knew how to perform every task, 40 years old, retired military, college graduate. He was white. He got the job. Every black employee in the place told the 19 year old that he did not get the job because he was black. Wound him up to the point that he physically attacked the supervisor in the break room, turned over a vending machine and broke the lunch table. So then he was fired from the position he had. Guess what the real reason he was fired was? Racism of course. Had nothing to do with assault or property damage. He felt that was justified. I get sick of hearing it.

The more I read some of these posts, the more I feel sorry for some of you. A lot of responses are based solely on snippets that you may read or hear one place or another. A lot of it is verbatim from some of the hype coming off the campaign. A lot of you think you’re so intelligent, but I beg to differ that some of you have the audacity to keep carrying on an ignorant conversation. If you can sit at your PC and write the crap that you do. Then you need to do as I and other intelligent people have done. Its called RESEARCH!!! Do your own, have a open mind. Thoroughly check out the candidates and make your choice and not do it the lazy way and just go by the snippets you read,or hear. We all bleed red, we’re all HUMAN BEINGS. I judge people by the content of their character not gender or race. Its really sad that racism is still so alive. We need to be diverse and hope for a better world for our children and their children. Hatred eats away your life. In the state that our economy is in, this is not a joke! Its time we all have a vision for change.

Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America,” the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said at a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday evening.
Interesting the views that emerge from San Francisco fundraisers, isn’t it? I guess Biden is just bitterly clinging to the oratorical example of the head of the ticket.

It’s been a long time since liberals have been out of the closet, race baiting like this. I remember it. I remember it came with massive reverse discrimination, violence, high taxation and scapegoating, too.
It was the Duke lax racial smear attack on steriods -day and night; night and day. It was disgusting. Liberals really do hate you whitey.

We’re sick of the right wing extremists who have taken over the Republican party.
We’re sick of the fear talk that divides Americans and the hate talk that fouls American prosperity.
We’re sick of the hate talk radio jocks who think they’re reliving the rise of Nazi Germany, driving out every point of view that isn’t extreme right wing and racist.
We’re sick of racists repeating the term “race card” “race card” when they really mean “lynch somebody”.
We’re sick of racists repeating the slander cry of “socialist” “socialist” when we know they really mean the N-word.
We’re sick of being called names for upholding the principles that Americans believe in, like equal rights regardless of sex or race, equal justice for all, and a news media that resists the extremist right agenda.
We’re sick of having a foreign policy run by extremist right wing arms manufacturers and neocons clinging to a Hitler-like goal of world conquest.
We’re sick of a tax system that serves the CEO who gets a multi-million dollar bonus when he runs the company to the ground and jumps ship.
We’re sick of right wing propaganda tactics — you can see a dozen examples right here in this blog.
We have fought back harder and harder with each election the extremist’s have stolen. They can’t win in America, that’s why they want to destroy America, and they hide behind our flag to do it.
I’m resisting the right wing propaganda machine. I’m resisting the voice of people who shout without human reasoning, telling me to be afraid and trying to dominate everyone.
I’m voting for Democracy in America in 2008. I’m voting for Liberty. I am voting Democratic. I am voting for Barack Obama!

There is a special on the communtiy organizer, Obama.
He worked to promote ACORN.
African Americans are going nuts for this guy for no reason.
Wake up Democrats.
The accusations that the Republican party are making about Obama are facts.
What does the public expect Obama to say, yes I am friends with Farrakhan, I love my black value church in Chicago, I worked for Acorn, I do have Muslim ties.
Obama is a con. He does what cons do.

Lily–What has he done that makes you think he is a better candidate?

Its especially difficult to elect a black President when the nominee is a lightweight who has never run so much as a hot dog stand.Nor am I re-assured because Colin Powell believes in racial solidarity and thinks no one can recognize it.Obama qualified? Give me a break

I’m an African American, you might just say a black man. I know 98% of black will vote for Obama because he’s black. Remember, he’s not US African American like us, he’s Kenya (African) American. See the difference? My family have been here for more than 200 years, they were slaves, some fought in the civil war, they became free, they helped out during WWII and after that they suffered segregation and discrimination till 1960s. My grandparents and my parents and relatives marched along with Dr. King. My parents were not allowed to share the same bus or restaurants or restrooms with White. Look at Obama, his father was from Kenya, didn’t suffer the prejudice like we, the African American in the US had to suffer. He went to good colleges where we African American in the US wouldn’t even dreamed of going that time.
Now, Obama is getting all support from black people because he is black. His people are using his skin color to get black peoples’ vote. And he uses his pictures with his White mother and white grandparents to get White peoples’ vote. He’s nothing but an opportunist who is playing his race so well in this game.
Who really is this Obama guy? Is he really one of us? Can we really trust him?

Well imagine that, Biden plays the race card. The fact is in the end we all lose. If Obama wins and follows his current political ideology we become socialist. If Mccain wins evrybody cries about being the victim of a racist conspiracy. Big surprise. Our government and we can’t win either way because people are just too ignorant of the true facts. All we hear are half-truths – so where’s the change here?

Biden is wrong – it’s not about Obama’s skin color!
Biden is correct – Obama’s INEXPERIENCE will incite an international crisis!
Just what we need – another attack on U.S. soil.
NObama!
Dems for McCain/Palin

For all of you Liberals out there saying McCain should have picked a more experienced VP, how can you say that with a straight face when your Presidential pick has no experience either? Tell me one thing he has done to show he is Qualified? He has Lied about Rezko! He has lied about Rev. Wright! He has lied about Bill Ayres! He has lied about ACORN! So if lying qualifies you to be President I guess he is! Know lets talk judgment for a moment meeting without pre-condition with Iran and saying they are not a threat to the United States bad judgment! taking three tries to get his stance on the Russia/Georgia crisis bad Judgment! Taking large amounts of money from Fannie and Freddie Bad Judgment! Pushing high risk sub-prime mortgages bad Judgment! Not demanding oversight on Freddie and Fannie bad Judgment! Wanting to push towards Socialism by the spreading the wealth bad judgment! Wanting to double the Capital Gaines Tax in a struggling economy bad Judgment! Obama has continued to show bad Judgment and a lack of foreign policy experience and all of you seam so brainwashed by him. I do not intend on voting for Obama for these reasons and I look forward to vote for John McCain on the 4th. I have not bought into the fears the Democrats keep pushing about McCain! I know McCain is different than Bush and has always had to fight the Republican party because he has crossed the isle to work with Democrats. Joe Lieberman is supporting him and he was the Democrats choice for VP in 2000! What has Obama ever done to work across the isle? Over 97% of the time he has voted with his party the same Party that has a less than 15% approval rating in Congress! You want to know the difference between Obama and Palin is Palin would be second in command, Obama would be first! I call on all Hillary supporters who had the great Judgment to say Obama was not ready to lead this country in the Primary! I call on all 18 million of you to support the McCain/ Palin ticket not the ticket that stole the nomination from your parties best Candidate Hilary Clinton!

>>>>Tell me one thing he has done to show he is Qualified?
Obama meets the 35 year old requirement and was supposedly born in the U.S.
Other than that – nuttin!
But of course, all of us voting against his Empty Suit are considered racists!
Dems for McCain/Palin

“I also know that he suspended his campaign to deal with the bailout?
What happened on that?”
This post is going to be long because it is important to fully understand the facts, including pertinent background.
On September 24 Senator McCain suspended his President campaign to go back to Washington to help settle the financial rescue (sometimes called the ‘bailout’) legislation.
Commentators have suggested that his actions in dealing with the financial crisis were “erratic.” It has been claimed that his decision to suspend his campaign was just a “political stunt.”
The surface “optics” could allow you to characterize his actions in that manner.
But, let’s look at the facts.
1. The first two weeks of September were marked by significant turmoil on the stock market. This was due to a number of factors. The primary reason? Continued tightening of the credit markets. Why? Financial institutions were “concerned” about lending to each other. At the same time stock prices of some investment banks, insurance firms and regulated banks continued to plummet.
2. Over the weekend of September 14, Merrill Lynch agreed to sell itself to Bank of America. Meetings were also held to stave off the collapse of Lehman Brothers. However, that effort failed.
3. On September 15 Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy. This was the biggest bankruptcy in American financial history, far larger than Enron or World Com.
The bankruptcy leads to “significant” turmoil on stock and credit markets and crisis of confidence.
4. In response, Senator McCain stated the “fundamentals of the economy are strong” and not to panic. Senator McCain was slammed in some parts of the media and by Senator Obama for being “out of touch” in making his remarks.
Hmm … oh I know, in times of crisis let’s all yell “fire” and cause everyone to panic.
Right. I mean let’s not stay calm. Let’s “talk” the economy into a crisis, if that will help you get elected.
5. On September 16, the “crisis” worsens. The Federal Reserve announces the $85 billion dollar “bailout” AIG on terms, to stave off collapse of a systemic financial participant.
6. On September 18, Senator McCain called for the resignation of the Chairman of the SEC, Chris Cox, a Republican and Bush appointee.
McCain said the SEC, the primary regulator of Wall Street, had let “speculators and hedge funds turn our markets into a casino.”
“The chairman of the SEC serves at the appointment of the president and, in my view, has betrayed the public trust,” McCain said. “If I were president today, I would fire him.”
Many media commentators claimed this call was “rash.”
7. In the evening of September 18, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Secretary Paulsen met with the Congressional leadership in the Speaker’s Office. They tell those present that America is facing a systemic meltdown of the financial sector which could lead to total economic collapse
8. On September 19, Senator McCain called for creating a trust to review mortgage and financial institutions, identify weaker ones and strengthen them before insolvency. “Today we need a plan that doesn’t wait until the system fails,” he said. “For troubled institutions, this will provide an orderly process through which to identify bad loans and eventually sell them.” In the meantime, Senator Obama is still “observing” the situation.
9. On September 19, Secretary Paulsen sends his plan over to Congress to deal with the crisis. This is ultimately posted online.
In essence he asks for $700 billion dollars of taxpayer’s money with no strings attached to fight the crisis and “bailout” the financial sector.
10. Senator Obama has yet to say how he would deal with the crisis.
The week of September 21 – 27.
11. Between Monday and Thursday, the Democrats are negotiating with Paulsen over the details of the “bailout” legislation.
During this time, there is a hearing on Tuesday before the Senate Banking Committee. Fed Chairman Bernanke and Secretary Paulsen were “questioned” about the plan submitted by the Treasury. At the end of the Senate hearing, Senator Dodd, a Democratic and the Committee Chair stated that what Paulsen was proposing would not work and would need significant modification.
There was also a hearing on Wednesday before the House Finance Committee lead by Congressman Frank.
12. On Wednesday, Senator McCain announced that he was suspending his campaign and returning to Washington to help deal with the crisis.
13. That evening, shortly before President Bush addressed the nation, the two campaigns issued a joint press statement which said that the bailout plan was “flawed” but that “the effort to protect the American economy must not fail.”
“Now is a time to come together — Democrats and Republicans — in a spirit of cooperation for the sake of the American people,” read the statement,
14. When asked in the media why he was suspending his campaign and returning to Washington, Senator McCain said that he was an old Navy man.
When there is a crisis of this type, it’s “all hands on deck.”
He acknowledged that he was not certain what help he could provide, but he felt it was his duty to be “in the ring.”
Many media pundits said that Senator McCain was just pulling a “political stunt;” although it is interesting that President Clinton in a rare interview with CNBC during the middle of the crisis said that he felt Senator McCain was quite genuine in his concerns.
15. On Thursday, President Bush invited Senators Obama and McCain to a Thursday afternoon meeting at the White House to discuss the crisis. There are hints in the media that a deal will be ready to be “blessed.”
16. Prior to McCain’s return to Washington, Senator Reid (the Senate Majority Leader – Democrat) had made it clear that any legislation could not be passed without Senator McCain’s approval.
17. However, when Senator McCain arrives back in Washington, after the Democrats announced they had reach “agreement” around noon on Thursday on what the legislation should be, Senator Reid protested about the return of Senator McCain, calling it a “stunt.”
Hmm … First Reid says he needs McCain’s approval. Then, when McCain does get involved, Reid claims that involvement is just “political.”
What!?
Let’s look at certain key elements of the legislation the Democrats were proposing and that had been settled with Treasury.
18. There were a number of very legitimate “concerns” with the proposed version of the legislation that the Democrats wanted to pass.
A. The Democratic legislation called for the first 20% of the funds paid back to the Treasury from the eventual sale or realization on purchased assets or acquired equity to be used to set up an “affordable housing fund” to be managed by ACORN.
Hmm … The total amount of the “bailout” was $700 billion, so we are talking about a fund of upwards of $140 billion, assuming full recovery from asset sales and the rest.
How would this fund work? Who would be eligible to get a loan from the “fund?” Did ACORN have the ability to manage such a fund? Why ACORN?
None of this was spelled out in the Democratic legislative proposal, just that the first 20% of funds realized by Treasury would be used for this purpose.
Sure, setting up an affordable housing fund and using some of the proceeds realized sounds from the original rescue package sounds at first blush like a good idea.
But remember, the Government does not have $700 billion “on hand” to simply fund this rescue package. We have to borrow the money at a time when we are running huge annual deficits and the Country is already deeply in debt.
Unless the plan was well thought out, properly regulated and managed, we could end up with another boondoggle on our hands.
Besides, why use public funds for this purpose?
If there was a market need for such a fund, why not let private participants capitalize the fund?
Is not the better role of Government to properly regulate the market place to prevent abuse, fraud, mismanagement and excess?
Had not the failure to do this in the sub-prime and alt A loan market got us into this mess in the first place?
So, let’s just hold onto “our horses” and fix the present mess, before venturing off into new fields of endeavor.
B. While the Democratic legislation called for oversight, the proposed oversight was fraught with complex and conflicting reporting requirements. The process was poorly thought out and would not serve those seeking or wanting information very well.
C. The Democratic legislation imposed a number of restrictions and requirements on market participation that were not fully thought out and could well end up defeating the very purpose of the plan. More flexibility was required.
D. The Democratic legislation wanted to amend the bankruptcy laws to allow judges to compel lenders to amend the terms of the underlying loan. It was felt this would create market uncertainty about loan values and repayment terms, making it even more difficult to value the underlying loan portfolios.
E. The Democratic legislation did not give any meaningful way for the Country to recoup any losses arising from the “rescue” from the financial sector
Now, remember the total amount being by Treasury is $700 billion.
F. Under the original proposal, Treasury wanted to use this money to buy different classes of assets from various financial institutions.
As Secretary Paulsen explained it, imagine as if the financial sector has just had heart attack, due to clogged arteries.
To get blood (credit) flowing again, you had to “unclog the credit arteries” of all the assets that no one was willing to trade due to “lack of trust.”
The plan was to hold these assets until the underlying loans came to maturity, or re-sell the assets back into the market, once “trading” restarted.
But a lot of economists were not sure that this was the best way to proceed.
Why not inject equity directly into financial institutions to help recapitalize the banks. Would we not get a bigger bang for our buck going this way?
Why not set up an insurance fund to help insure the true value of the underlying loans? We now how to asses loan values. We could set up an insurance fund for this purpose. We already do this.
The net result of this approach would be that the initial capital outlays would be far less, although we would have to ensure appropriate funds were set aside from the authorized moneys to cover the potential risk of default.
Ultimately, with this proposal, would not the financial institutions through the payment of premiums end up funding their own bailout?
Why not adjust certain accounting rules to allow for situations where the underlying loans are fully performing and the security holder has no interest or need to sell the securitized loan package, instead of requiring that holders of these securities mark the value to the “market price,” especially when there was no market for these types of highly specialized security instruments?
All of these concerns had been “floated” but … with the Democrats claiming an “agreement” with Treasury, the scene now moves to the White House.
19. On Thursday afternoon there was a “big” meeting at the White House to discuss the “crisis” and review the agreement the Democrats had reached with Treasury.
Present was President Bush, flanked by Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid.
Also present were members of the Republican House and Senate leadership, including Senator Shelby the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking committee.
Finally, we have Senator Obama at one end of the table and Senator McCain at the other table, along with representatives from Treasury.
The purpose of the meeting?
Depends on whom you ask.
The Democrats, (including Senator Obama) along with President Bush and Treasury wanted a deal.
(I believe House Minority Leader Boner said they were trying to “thrust the deal down his throat.)
Senator McCain said “No.”
You may recall that Senator Shelby left the meeting by the front door, saying there was an agreement to disagree … while holding up a sheaf of papers from economists who said the bailout legislation was flawed … with Senator Obama and Senator McCain leaving by separate entrances without speaking to the waiting media.
Interestingly, there was a picture taken during the course of the meeting which was published in the media showing Obama looking at McCain with a “glare on his face.”
Maybe that’s because he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar for his friends at ACORN?
20. Senator McCain’s action in saying “No” gave the House Republicans an opportunity to negotiate a much better deal with Treasury and the House Democrats for the benefit of the American people.
The affordable housing fund to be managed by ACORN was taken out.
The option of setting up an insurance fund was added as another tool for use by Treasury.
The process of having Treasury purchase either equity or assets, along with the stipulated participating requirements was streamlined and made clear, so that each intended “process” could properly function.
The method of Treasury drawing down on the total fund was strengthened.
The reporting and oversight process was streamlined and strengthened.
The proposed changes to the bankruptcy laws were removed from the legislation.
The Bill calls for the President to report to the House after 5 years on any shortfall and how to recoup these monies.
The Bill allows for changes to the “mark-to-market” accounting rules by the SEC.
The Bill addressed concerns raised by Community Banks who had suffered unintended losses when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into “conservatorship.”
Ultimately the legislation as presented to the House on Monday, September 29 became a true bi-partisan effort to address the crisis, with the net result that the legislation was much improved and more focused.
21. With matters at hand, Senator McCain left Washington and returned to the campaign trail, participating in the debate that Friday evening.
But, only after he had lost a day in preparation time.
And only after he had been lambasted by the Democrats for upsetting their deal.
And only after he had been lambasted by many in the media for “pulling a stunt” by suspending his campaign, while threatening to call off the debate if no deal was reached.
Now during the debate McCain had an opportunity to take a “clean shot” at Obama over the crisis and in the views of some “blow” Obama out of the water. Maybe yes, maybe no. But McCain declined.
Why? “Country first.” Let’s get the deal done, give Treasury the tools needed to stop the patient from dying and move forward with the recovery, including ensuring “never again.”
22. When the House and Senate ultimately passed the “rescue” legislation on the following Friday, after the first go around failed, due in part to hyper-partisan ship on the part of Speaker Pelosi and a foolish response by some House Republicans, Senator McCain was not only criticized by Democrats and their media supporters, but also by various Republican pundits.
The appearance of Senator McCain dropping everything and responding to the “call for action” while Senator Obama remained aloof and distant, in this age of “image over substance” allowed Obama and media pundits to “charge” that Senator McCain’s actions during this period had been “erratic.”
Yup, the man who called for the resignation of Chairman Cox of SEC because of his failure to properly enforce the voluntary regulation of the investment banks, which could have prevented much of the crisis, was called “erratic.”
The man who headed the call for “all hands on deck” at a time of grave national crisis and insisted on a true bi-partisan effort to handle the situation, which ultimately led to much better legislation, giving Treasury all the tools it needed to fight the financial crisis at hand, was called “erratic.”
Hmm … Politics makes for some very strange myths.
Next question:
“Do you honestly think he will offer more regulation because I think Wall Street needs it?”
Yes.
While Senator McCain has acknowledged that less regulation is better than more regulation, he has made it crystal clear that our existing fiscal regulatory scheme is totally out of date and we need to bring it up to date.
Don’t forget that Senator McCain is a reformer in the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt, someone who believes and has constantly fought for all our interests against excessive corporate greed and political corruption.
Now let me ask the reader a question.
Do we really think “PELROB” will truly act in all our interests or just those of their allies and friends?
Do we really want the Senate, House and the Administration all controlled by the Democrats?
With an Obama administration lead by a “Chicago” politician schooled in Mayor Dailey politics?
There is an old adage in politics, “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Well, with the Democrats controlling both houses of Congress and the Presidency, sadly that is exactly what you will get.
It already happened once in the last 8 years when the Republicans controlled both the Congress and the Presidency. Do we really want to keep repeating the mistakes of history?
This is why we need Senator McCain to head up an administration with a clear mandate to clean up the mess in the financial sector and the halls of Congress, while leading our country back on the road to growth.
Someone who is tough enough to withstand the “hatred” that will coming spewing forth ….when he refuses to “go along” with Washington as usual.
Someone who is prepared to ensure the markets are firmly, but fairly regulated.
Someone who is truly not afraid to “put country first.”
“I hope he is not more of the Bush, “give em tax breaks and then get out of the way.””
No, he is not.
Senator McCain has a long history of being a “reformer.” Senator McCain has made it quite clear that a complete overhaul of the financial sector is necessary.
Turning to the legislation itself, a lot of folks are angry, upset and concerned about this whole mess.
There is a lot of blame to go around.
As the saying goes “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
We wanted everyone to have a home. A nice dream, but totally unrealistic.
“Easy credit.”
The lure of no money down; with no proof of income all made it seem affordable.
But when the bubble burst, which it inevitably would … there is one hell of a mess to clean up.
Who is to blame? Lots of folks had a hand in this saga of greed, corruption, misplaced trust and lack of common sense.
Community Organizers who wanted everyone to have a home and were willing to use any means necessary to make that happen.
Members of Congress who bought into this dream and allowed excessive Corporate Greed to flourish in support of this quest.
Failure by regulators to enforce existing voluntary regulation to prevent Corporate Greed.
President Clinton in failing to remember the law of unintended consequences when changing market rules.
President Bush in believing too strongly in the markets and failing to ensure full enforcement of existing regulations.
But perhaps most importantly as a Society we simply failed.
We seem to have forgotten that there is no free lunch.
We want everything to happen “now.”
While I believe in competence and efficiency, being smart does not always mean being fast.
We are ultimately responsible for our own actions and as a Society we need to stop living on debt.
The beliefs that made America great “thrift, hard work and innovation” must be our guide.
Had money in the market?
Lost a lot during the September / October stock market “crash of 2008?”
Should the Government have told us to get out?
Or did we all simply forget one of the oldest adages of the market which is “buyer beware?”
I will leave it up to the reader to answer these questions, but I do urge all of you when deciding who to elect as your next President … fully inform yourself before casting your ballot.

What are these things that Biden says Obama is planning on doing that they’re not telling anyone about? “We’re going to have to do things that you think are completely wrong, and go against your gut, but you have to trust us, I mean, don’t question us, just stick with us through this and it is going to be better in the end.” Makes me feel like a victim in the SAW movies… “we’re going to have to take your kidneys to sell them to someone else, but don’t worry, we’ll leave you in a bathtub full of ice and we’ll call the paramedics on the way out.”

Thank you watermelon idiot…for informing the world that only Blacks eat watermelon and fried chicken…get a life

The scary thing is that Biden seems to think that saying undecided voters are racist which is why they haven’t decided to vote for Obama is a winning strategy. All he’s doing is making undecided voters less likely to vote Democratic. Which of course is fine, and he’s certainly doing the country a huge favor by doing so. but, it just shows what a complete imbecile Joe Biden is.

If McCaint LOOKED at a terriorst???
What do you call the
“Songbird”
kissing ass at the Hanoi Hilton
called “giving aid and comfort”

I believe the Obama-Machine is unraveling. With Biden predicting that we will be plunged into some horrific “test” by another nation if Obama is elected and that he will have tough decisions to make that we are suppose to swallow without reproach, is chilling. This is serious stuff, past the “lipstick on a pig” crap.
Also, what Obama’s team and the Obama-bot media did to Joe the Plumber is horrible. Joe is the “little guy” that the Democrats are suppose to be fighting for… unless the little guy asks an embarrassing question that reveals Obama’s socialist agenda. Then it’s a bloody massacre. I was reading that now the plumbers’ union is all over Joe, and he can’t find work. This is beyond despicable. They destroyed a regular citizen for NOTHING, did it in record time of digging up info about him, yet are dragging their feet to give us the truth about so very much in Obama’s past. The media’s part in all this is contributing to Obama’s cool demeanor (like Perry Como or Tony Bennett in the 1960s), becoming more of a calculated facade rather than that of honorable leadership.
I was excited about voting for the first black US president. I still am. But it isn’t going to be Obama. Not anymore. He’s NOT the right choice. His hidden agendas frighten me for America. I’ll wait until a black candidate that doesn’t make my stomach churn with anxiety and fear comes along.

Obama cannot lead this country and keep it’s citizens safe. I would rather have Sarah Palin as president. How about using the same measuring stick when you measure up both opponents. John McCain is the man we need.
