McCain Jokes Obama ‘Inaugural’ on Par With ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’

So McCain made a funny based on a lie and the traveling press laughed along and this is all indicative of the fun-loving old McCain coming back. Ah, just in time for the press to fall back in love with him in the last week before the election.
Oh, did I mention the joke was based on a falsehood?
Nevermind.

McCain has given voters absolutely NO reason to vote for him. All it is is BASH BASH BASH Obama.
In terms of the inaugural address, Obama will write his OWN speech as he always does when he become president.

Didn’t Obama learn anything from the Greek Columns fiasco?

Didn’t you learn anything about reading and comprehending articles before commenting, Shelley?

McCain, can’t you stop being foolishly opportunistic at this point? From phoning the hoaxing lady in PA to this ridiculous allegation! How do you think you can get a single sympathy vote by doing this? When will you stop and exit this race with any little left honor? All these show your shallow intellectual bent, and inability to process and analyze situations. America is not looking for morons to lead it at this difficulty juncture. Not you, not Palin! Not at this time. We need Dem majority to get us going again without the gridlock of party affiliation and filibuster. When the situation improves, and there is room to play a little tomfoolery, we can invite you or Palin back, or even someone worse. Enough is enough!

Obama, Pelosi, Reid, liberal media.
We need checks and balances.
We need McCain to veto Pelosi and Reid’s spending.
We need checks and balances not one party rule.
Dems will have 60 senate seats.
We need checks and balances.

Obama the most liberal senator in the united states senate.
We need a moderate not the most liberal senator in the u.s senate.

I’ve fought for you most of my life and in places where defeat meant more than returning to a Senate seat,” McCain said.

That is correct John McCain. YOU LIED THEN AND YOU ARE LYING NOW!
AMERICANS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS. GO HOME!

Hey Ashley,
The campaign worker story was more than “debunked”; the young woman was arrested. Apparently she is still being held pending a psychiatric examination.
Saddest thing about her story is that the GOP politicos in her area were SO glad to have a negative story to create antagonism between blacks and whites and thereby discredit Obama. They used that disturbed person to “make news”, then dumped her when it turned out she was a fraud. In none of the reports does it say the GOP personnel in the area did anything to assist her once she got into trouble, even though they were quick to send condolences when they figured her story would gin up votes. The Obama-bashing message they were pounding helped to send this girl off the rails, but who cares.
And I agree Hannity is likely to pick up this “story” about the inaugural speech. It seems FOX keeps grasping at straws, time after time, as if to say, “This time we got ‘em – no, this time – right, THIS time – no. . . .”
If it wasn’t so dangerous, it would be pathetic.

Why doesn’t McCain give examples, other than the Cuban missile crises when he was sitting on an aircraft carrier FAR from harms way, of his being “tested” many times??

My biggest problem with McCain all along is that he can’t give DETAILS of what he wants to do and how he’s going to do it.
Telling me “trust me, I know what I’m doing” doesn’t cut it this time around.

When they start with the “Dewey Defeats Truman” bit, you know IT’S OVER.
SAY GOODNIGHT, JOHN!!

Isn’t this funny? McCain is so so jealous.
Senator Obama is allowing the people who worked for the campaign to be part of the election night instead of keeping people out. This is a unifying and sharing event and allows people to participate in our great democracy. Only McCain is the petulent sour grapes candidate.
Keep in mind that Senator McCain has a planning group working on who he will hire and sharpening up policy and many, many plans for the post-election transition. To say he isn’t planning for this is silly. You know that McCain has his own winning speech drafted. They all do this. McCain is just hiding in a hotel so that he can stay away from the media as much as possible if he loses. It won’t be a pretty site and it will be very tough. Hiding in a hotel is understandable, but it certainly isn’t brave or bold.

My biggest problem with McCain all along is that he can’t give DETAILS of what he wants to do and how he’s going to do it.
Telling me “trust me, I know what I’m doing” doesn’t cut it this time around.

You forgot to add “Obama, very very bad.

I appreciate John McCains service in the Navy, however I also realize that it was not a choice he made, but one that was made for him due to his father and grandfathers legacy. Having read his book, he made that more than clear. However, that does not make him any more or less qualified to lead this country. A leader is one whos intelligence and reasoning allows America to explore all options available and to do their best to prevent soldiers from having to put their lives on the line unless absolutely necessary to protect the freedoms we claim as our own.
Since I retired from military service, I have now seen many of my friends and relatives sent into Iraq never to return alive. I consider their deaths to have been in vein, and a result of an over aggressive and irrational administration who was in too much of a hurry to rush in, regardless of how many lives they put at risk. John McCain was one of those in the administration shouting from his soapbox encouraging the invasion, more so than most others in Congress. Given his military background, he should have been one of those opposing such actions the loudest, and instead, he let his brothers in arms down in the worst of ways. That is not a leader.
Obama has shown to have the demeanor, intelligence and character of a true American, who cares about Americans and their values, and would be the type of leader who would explore all possibilities available from all resources before placing our men and women in harms way. That is the true character of a leader.
I cannot bring back my lost friends and relatives, nor can I vote for a man who was in a large part responsible for their lives being lost for completely wrong reasons. I, like many many more of my fellow brothers will be voting for Obama and for a better future for all Americans. I can only hope that others can see through the current hate and intolerance involved in this election campaign and do the same.

I guess when you are losing bad, desperate and have nothing substantial to say, you will find anything negative to throw at you opponent. This is exactly what John McCain and his campaign did. Don’t think we saw the last of these.
If you are able not to take this kind of negative silly attack and innuendo seriously, you may even find them amusing of sort.

There you go again.
The Lying With a Straight Face Express. With Palin as the Hood Ornament. Indeed, heading out over that mystical Bridge on their way to Nowhere…..

It’s amazing that McCain would attempt to hold Obama up to ridicule less than a day after the insane hoax that was perpetrated on behalf of his campaign in Pennsylvania. McCain, if anything, should be apologizing for the horrible tone of his campaign that has led to calls for Obama’s death, and the sleazy racist hoax designed to help his chances in PA. McCain has no business ridiculing Obama. He has run a shameful smear-based campaign. Oh yes, and the entire basis of joke, that Obama has an already written inaugural address, IS UNTRUE.

The most telling of all is that this speech was given to less than 1,000 people who showed up to hear him speak.

Mccain and Palin have run a non-stop smear and mudsling against Barack Obama since day one. The most negative, devisive and mean-spirited presidential campaign ever! When Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for president he stated he was doing so because he trusted Barack’s judgement. Another reason he said he was endorsing Obama was because of the bad tone of the Republican campaign.

The above comment sounds very reminiscent of what I remember when I listened to Radio Moscow sometimes (Hey, they had cool music, forgive me, LOL).
All we need is some typical Commie catch phrases such as ‘historically irrelevant’, ‘socially imperative’,'redneckism’(think they were talking about Reagan with that one), ‘the need for meaningful dialog free of the semantics of demagoguery’ and a whole bunch of other political stuff that sounds funny went translated from Russian to English, and I think Mr. Stewart above can pegged for what he is-a Marxist.
Note the liberal (pardon the pun) use of the word ‘collective’-I see we’re moving from the euphemism of ‘community’ (as in ‘community organizer’) and straight on to ‘collective’ in no time!
Actually, why not just go ahead and say ‘Aristotle wishy washy works outing cyclamen get forticulate smartish’ (to quote Burgess) and I think that would just about say the same thing.

McCain is right, but not for the reasons he thinks.
Polls don’t reveal the full extent of racist views of whites, not because people don’t want to admit them, but because racist feelings are unconscious and are likely to emerge at the last minute, when voters realize they are about to install a black guy in the White House.
McCain should keep his fingers crossed hoping that white racists will come to his rescue in the nick of time.

David,
I helped get a Democrat get elected to a Michigan rep seat that Republicans had held for years. I thought Sen. Obama’s speech at the 2004 Convention was laudatory.
Things Obama has done wrong since then?
Sen. Obama on more than one occasion accused Sen. McCain’s campaign of trying to “scare” voters by mentioning that he “doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.” At another rally he made a similar claim, adding “…did we mention he’s black?” to his hypothetical voice of Sen. McCain’s supposed scare tactics, yet he got a free pass.
Sen. McCain’s actual record on the issue? Sen. McCain has refused to cite Rev. Wright in the campaign, celebrated Sen. Obama’s historic nomination with a laudatory ad on the night of his acceptance speech, has disassociated himself from supporters who used Sen. Obama’s middle name as an epithtet, and NPR reported that he took a microphone away from a woman at his rally who launched a tirade against Arabs, yet is seen as running a hateful campaign.
Sen. Obama meddled in the Iraq SOFA discussions.
Sen. Obama began his campaign by misrepresenting himself in the Dem debates as the only anti-war candidate, because strategically speaking, that one issue was the only thing that could catapult him over Sen. Clinton. Trouble was, Rep. Kucinich was the only one who had actually VOTED against the war, but he had to fight to get his time. See the footage from the Dem debates.
Sen. Obama only made state senator by having the other candidates removed from the ballot. Washington Post.
When the housing crisis was on the horizon, Sen. McCain cosponsored legislation to strengthen regulation of Freddie and Fannie. Sen. Obama wrote a couple of letters. I can write letters, you can write letters. Sen. Obama’s job is to legislate. He failed to exercise leadership. Covered in the Washington Post. Barney Frank’s committee said that Freddie and Fannie were okay. Specifically, the Democrats on the committee said Freddie and Fannie were okay, while the Republicans called for stronger regulation. Video on CSpan.
In his answers in the debates, his solutions to the Georgian crisis and other Russian aggression were to use the UN. He apparently hasn’t done International Relations 101, where he would have learnt about Russia’s veto on the Security Council, which would kibosh any efforts using that body to check Russian aggression. He also suggested an invaded country should show restraint.
In the debates, Sen. Obama stressed a very Bush-like emphasis on unilateral action. Sen. McCain spoke of using U.S. military forces judiciously, where they could make a practical and appreciable difference.
Sen. Obama took credit for the stimulus. The Washington Post Fact Checker disputes this http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/09/did_obama_author_the_stimulus.html
His campaign told Ohio one thing and Canada another.
Both Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden voted twice for the Bridge to Nowhere after even Gov. Palin had come around and said no to it. What’s more, they “voted to kill a Senate amendment that would have diverted federal funding for the bridge to repair a Louisiana span badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, Senate records show.” What’s more, Sen. Biden voted to divert funding to shore up a bridge in Delaware that was apparently in good condition anyway.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/23/biden.earmarks/index.html
That’s only a beginning, but that’s probably enough to have had me labelled as negative, even racist, already.

Good grief. It was a joke. Obama should be yelling at NY Times for printing it the way did (misleading), not McCain for “attacking” him. pfft. Get real, guess its time for the BOTS (Barack Obama Truth Squad –look it up if you don’t have clue before you start whining about THAT) to come armed to all McCain’s speeches now and make sure McCain doesn’t bust any more funnies.

– guess its time for the BOTS (Barack Obama Truth Squad –
Asking local law enforcement to enforce existing laws against deceptive and false advertising does not apply to deceptive and false speeches by McCain. However, the people do recognize the continual and repeated lies espoused by McCain, as does his fellow GOP supporters who are now trying to distance themselves from his campaign.

Senator, thanks for reminding us how you fought for America by bombing Vietnamese peasants and civilian infrastructure in an illegal war escalated by a hoax incident that left over 2 million dead so that our children’s children can wear Winnie-the-Pooh pajamas made in Vietnam. You, sir, are an inspiration.

Mcbush acts and sounds like he was the only American citizen that was ever a prisoner of war. Gets pretty bad when your robocalls call registered democrats. At least the democrats use real people and you can actually talk to them and ask questions and get an answer not a run around like Mc bush did at the debates. same with Mrs. Fluff at her speeches says a lot of words but don’t make much sense.

So, if Obama loses it’s because of racism? Nice cover. I guess if McCain loses he can’t just say because the Leftists have brainwashed the majority of American voters? Naw, didn’t think so.
Might an Obama loss have something to do with lack of experience, his evasiveness, and tons of other things?
If he’s, like, so going to win, Man, then why even discuss it?
Having anxieties about what should have been a shoo-in for the Democrats this election? Going to limp across the finish line yet again are we?

Hey, the guy looks good in a suit and talks a good game. If it wasn’t for all the Ayers-Rezko stuff and him being a Marxist…I would at least consider voting for him.
Just because you say his plans are superior doesn’t make them so anymore than if I sat here and said McCain’s were. Obviously you go by what is known to work-not what has never worked just because it seems ‘right somehow’-that’s ideology, not pragmatism.
McCain is willing to try and if it doesn’t work, try something else. Obama is not a risk taker from what I’ve seen…he and his followers want sure things, and when they don’t materialize they blame somebody else. That’s how it worked in right wing dictatorships and works now in Communist countries.

It is really unfair to Professor Dr. William Ayers that Barack Obama has apparently chosen someone in the political mainstream to write his inaugural speech. Without Ayers’s sensitive prose, Obama’s book could never have thrilled so many readers. I and many others earnestly hope Obama’s sellout behavior is only temporary.
“eternity is in love with the productions of time”

time for McCain to just die. More dignified.

Curses are like chickens, they always come home.
Proverb

I have voted in every presidential election since JFK. For this presiential election I have read both of Obama’s books, research his history and concluded that he is a socialist leaning communist and if the American people are stupid and brainwashed enough to elect him as commander in chief and president, I really at this point in my life (70 yrs. old) don’t give a rat’s ass. It wont effect me but it will make American a socialist country no longer a democracy. If this is what the majority of the American people want, so be it. Let Putin, Catro, Chavez be our allied. I will probably not be affected because of my age. The people who voted for Obama will be the ones suffering under government control. He’s a communist at heart, read his first book about his mntor Frank Marshall Davis, a communit. I wonder if he visited his grave in Hawaii to give Frank thanks for his advise, “redistribute the wealth”.

CHICAGO IS THE MURDER CAPITAL OF THE USA. WHAT HAS OBOMA DONE FOR CHICAGO, NOTHING BUT LETS ELECT HIM PRESIDENT. SO MUCH FOR NATIONAL SECURITY

By his own account Senator McCain got shot down in Vietnam when he chose to ignore an alarm in his aircraft that signaled that a SAM missile was locked on to him. He noted that had he chosen to break off his plane could have maneuvered away from the missile, thus saving the loss of the aircraft and his imprisonment. What John McCain has chosen to do in life has not always been prudent, by his own account, nor does he appear to have matured significantly over the years. I regret to say that I find his arguments and his campaign speeches increasingly unconvincing, at a time when I want to be very, very sure who we elect as the next President. I want a steady hand at the wheel of the ship of state, not someone who is impulsive.

Brokaw should have asked McCain on Meet the Press today: “Your smug confidence in the face of nearly hopeless poll numbers begs the question: will you be contesting the election results on the grounds of voter fraud due to faulty ACORN registrations, and thus counting on another Supreme Court appointment to the presidency like your predecessor got?”

While time is running out for McCain, and he clearly has nothing compelling to say that will sway the American public, Obama would be on a lot safer ground if the election were this coming Tuesday instead of a week from Tuesday.. 9 more days leaves time for SOMETHING to happen – a sudden international crisis, another gaffe by Biden or some damaging revelation about Obama.. Plus, there is still plenty of room for election day shenanigans – and I’m not referring to ACORN. I mean voter exclusion tactics that have been a staple of the Republican party for some while now..This election is not yet in the bag, and hopefully Obama volunteers will act accordingly and make sure that they get every voter out possible Obama not only needs to win this election, but he has to RUN UP THE SCORE…It is vital that the old politics of personal attack, careless lying and misrepresentation (the latest on Obama’s alleged inaugural address being prepped), and cheap gimmicks (Joe the Plumber) be once and for all DEFEATED RESOUNDINGLY.. It may be too much to hope that dignity can be restored to political campaigns, but maybe we can at least see less of the disgraceful stuff that has characterized McCain/Palin. They and their tactics need to be thoroughly and decisively rejected…

McCain is fantasizing again!

This from a retired Army man and a life-long member of the National Rifle Association here: these folks are so filled full off hate and fear they couldn’t find their asses with both hands. They don’t recognize how much their freedoms have been eroded the past eight years, especially with the passage of the Patriot Act. They’ll support an ideology hook, line and sinker without question because it pretends to give them some piece of mind, all the while they don’t have to think for themselves. Obama isn’t a panacea for all that ails America – that would test the patience of Job, the strength of Hercules and the Wisdom of Solomon. Senator McCain would have made an excellent President but his choice of that idiotic & crazed religious nut tells me everything I need to know about where to cast my vote. You folks need to get a grip. Obama will be elected President next week and he’ll drag your asses into the 21ST Century – more than likely kicking and screaming. Might as well get use to it.

Mccain knows he is dying for sure.
Before his death he is just jumping
and humping. Nov.4 is only week or so
left. He need to stop all those “pandiring,GAMBLE and Hail marry
Pass’ we know all that.It will not chage
voters mind who are already Decided
including republicans like,Gen.colin
Powel.I hope he is not suffering from
Dellution or alzhheimers at age 72
Any way it will work 7 days before Nov.4 where he is sure to loose. Monday
President Clinton started campaign together with Sen.Obama in Florida.Then
coming 30 minute TV commercial.McC/palin
is now is Disarray?? Whatever is coming
in his mouth he is saying.But one thing
we know for sure Mccain/palin will “LOOSE” this election Guranteed.

McCain acts like Bush did in 2000, overly confident, despite the poll numbers. I fear that the Republicans plan on stealing the election, just as they did then. And, thus stealing the heart and soul of Americans. This isn’t a Democracy when one party uses lies and cheating to win!

Perhaps a “Coronation of Obama” will not be that much diferrent from the “Coronation of Medvedev”…
Will the neo-communists censor the Net?
Anybody who is listening or reading knows that a President Barack Obama would yank America toward socialism by the largest margin since FDR’s New Deal. Thanks to Joe the plumber, we know Obama wants to redistribute wealth, spread it around like it belongs to the government instead of the people who earned it.
Draconian tax increases are just the tip of the socialistic agenda Obama has waiting for us. Obama’s cheerleaders, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and other leftists, plan an all-out assault on the First Amendment. Sadly, that doesn’t mean that they’re going to cease the unending gaseous gaffes. Instead, it means they want to go back to pre-Ronald Reagan days when the government controlled what was said on radio and TV.
The Democrats, as they did in 1934 prompted by FDR, want to re-enact the Fairness Doctrine, which has nothing to do with fairness in communication. This doctrine simply allows the government to decide whose speech is free and whose isn’t. It forced broadcasters to give equal time to what the government deemed were opposing views.
President Ronald Reagan saw the evil behind the Fairness Doctrine and vetoed a bill in 1987 that would have made it law. The bellyaching from the far left has persisted since then, especially since my friend Rush Limbaugh saved AM radio with his style of talk radio. Thin-skinned liberals can’t take Rush’s straight talk, so they want to shut him down. That’s why some call the latest push for the doctrine the Hush Rush law.
I know this sounds like something from Nazi Germany or Castro’s Cuba, but it’s already in the hopper. New Mexico Sen. Jeff Bingaman let the cat out of the bag about the left’s plans to silence its dissenters, according to Brian Maloney of Radio Equalizer.
“With the possibility of a Democratic Party supermajority after the upcoming elections, Jeff Bingaman may soon get his wish to quash dissenting viewpoints,” Maloney reports. ”During an interview with KKOB Albuquerque host Jim Villanucci, Bingaman overtly stated his full support for imposing Fairness Doctrine restrictions on free speech which would effectively shut down talk radio as we know it today.”
If the leftists succeed under the nightmare scenario with Obama in the White House, this time it won’t just be about radio and TV, but could include content on the Internet. You got it – the jackbooted thugs from the left will monitor what you and I write on the Web and let us have it if they don’t think it’s “fair.”
Jeff Poor of NewsBusters wrote about this scary socialistic scheme, reporting that FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell ventured that the feds under the governmental Democratic trifecta (presidency and both houses of Congress) could thrust itself into regulating speech on the Internet.
“He told the Business & Media Institute there’s a possibility the next Congress and administration might attempt to package the renewal of the Fairness Doctrine with Net neutrality regulation,” Poor wrote.
“‘I think the fear is that somehow large corporations will censor their content, their points of view,’ McDowell said, suggesting some conservatives might support Net neutrality legislation based on corporate censorship fears. ‘I think the bigger concern for them should be if you have government dictating content policy, which by the way would have a big First Amendment problem.
“‘Then, whoever is in charge of government is going to determine what is fair, under a so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” which won’t be called that – it’ll be called something else,’ McDowell said. ‘So, will websites, will bloggers have to give equal time or equal space on their website to opposing views rather than letting the marketplace of ideas determine that?’”
The Democrats, who look more and more like neo-communists, should tread lightly here. I don’t just say that because I’ve made my living on talk radio. This is truly a First Amendment issue, so Pelosi and the rest of her minions better break out that Constitution they swore to protect and read up.
The Supreme Court did rule in an earlier day that the previous incarnation of the Fairness Doctrine was constitutional. But the Supreme Court concluded in another case that the doctrine “inescapably dampens the vigor and limits the variety of public debate (Miami Herald Publishing Co. v. Tornillo, 418 U.S. 241),” according to an article at the Heritage Foundation.
Obama and the Democrats’ new deal is a bad deal for every American who believes in the Constitution and the First Amendment. It is a dangerous step to the left that will stifle free expression and, ultimately, democracy.

BTW people,
Natasha actually works for THIS blog!
Yup, she’s a moderator/content “enhancer”!
That’s right!
She’s here to “spice” things up for your entertainment!
Well, not exactly. Her job is to steer the converfsation, or slant it, into a particular focus that stimulates a particualr type of response.
Sadly, not only do most here fall for it, it is actually needed!

Thank you Palin for reminding us of “Obama the Audacity – Trip to Berlin”
Americans of course heard very little about this…
Oh yes! Europe was buzzing with the news and in the end Obama ended up having the Socialists, Radicals, Anarchists of Europe cheering for him!
I was so sad and embarassed when I heard that the Audacity was not going to visit our wounded troops in Germany. That is exactly when I decided NOT to vote for that one. (It makes me sick every time I remember that Berlin trip -of his and how he ignored our wounded troops)…The only thing that he cared about was the his “pretty Berlin speech” …The only thing he cared about was his Big Ego – not America!

To refresh you memory American fellows:
International Herald Tribune:
Merkel ally opposes Obama speech in Berlin
The Associated Press
Sunday, July 13, 2008
BERLIN: A conservative ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Barack Obama should not speak at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate because he played no role in German reunification.
Erwin Huber, chairman of the Bavarian sister party to Merkel Christian Democrats, accused Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier of pandering to the U.S. presidential candidate by inviting Obama to speak in the center of Berlin.
Obama’s tentative plans to hold a speech in late July at the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of German unity, have exposed simmering tensions in the German government, an uneasy alliance between the main conservative and center-left parties.
Merkel and Steinmeier, who are from rival parties, may face off in a federal election next year.
“Obama didn’t do anything for German unification,” Huber told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper. “That’s not a criticism, but as a result there is no reason to grant him such a privilege.”
Huber said American presidents such as Ronald Reagan, who spoke at the Berlin Wall in 1987, and his successor George H.W. Bush, president when the wall was breached in 1989, deserved the credit for their roles in reuniting Germany.
Obama said Saturday that he hoped to resolve concerns expressed by Merkel.
“I want to make sure that my message is heard as opposed to creating a controversy,” Obama said.
“So, you know, our goal is just for me to lay out how I think about the next administration’s role in rebuilding a trans-Atlantic alliance, so I don’t want the venue to be a distraction. What I want to do is just work with folks on the ground to find some place that’s appropriate.”
The German government has denied that Washington put pressure on Merkel to block the proposed Obama speech.
Leading German newspapers, including Bild and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, reported that Bush administration officials attending a G-8 summit meeting in Japan last week expressed reservations to the German delegation about Obama’s speaking at the landmark.
“The reports are completely unfounded,” Merkel’s spokesman, Ulrich Wilhelm, said when asked about the reports and a suggestion from Mayor Klaus Wowereit of Berlin that the Bush administration had put pressure on Merkel.
“There were no expectations whatsoever expressed either outright or tacitly in that regard from American President Bush or his staff. It’s pure fiction.”
He said last week that she frowned on any speech at the gate.
Merkel was not happy to see “electioneering” at the gate, calling the idea “odd.” That snub prompted a sharp response from Steinmeier, who said Germany would be honored.
“Steinmeier is just trying to curry favor with Obama,” Huber said.
“He thinks he can gain an advantage by showing his support for Obama early,” he continued. “That’s pretty naive, if you ask me.
“What’s next? Should Republican John McCain come next – should the American campaign be fought out in Germany?”

Obama is such a FRAUD, only idiots are voting for this guy. The young, high and dumb who are clueless that marxism is only good in theory. The majority of black people who support Obama because of his race and because they think he will be payback, and that others will actually allow it. The hilarious rich liberals who hate themselves and hate minorities more because of their white liberal guilt…and they all just watch MSNBC like sheep.

fOR ALL OF YOU OBAMA HATERS YALL ARE JUST MAD/jEALOUS CUZ HE BOUT TO BE PRESIDENT DAMN RITE IMMA VOTE FOR OBAMA dAMN RITE OBAMA/BIDEN FOR 08!!!!

Really?
People are so up in arms claiming that African Americans are voting for Obama based soley on his color of his skin? Isn’t it the right of every citizen to base any reason they choose to vote for a candidate? What’s the difference between those voting for McCain because he is white or because he’s a Vet or because he was a pilot or graduated from Annapolis,..etc? Or voting for someone based soley on their religious beliefs?
That quite honostly is absolutely no one’s business to be critical of or judgmental about. The only reason people are being so critical is because they personally don’t like Obama in particular and feel they have to ridicule or cut down those who don’t feel the same.
The idea that we should all be the same and think the same is too reminiscent of that old twighlight Zone episode of everyone being turned into clones.
Yikes! Too scary and not the kind of world we should want to live in.
Everyone should be respectful of everyone’s choices and get off their soap boxes.

Defector,
This is Urla Hill . . . I make the point in holding three degrees because I know what it is like to go through the process of a formal collegiate education, and then have people who haven’t done anything, or next to nothing, dump on you saying you aren’t prepared because you haven’t “lived.” Or because they happen to make more money than you do.
It was very interesting to me how many so-called educated people went on and on about how qualified Sarah Palin was in her speeches, when I could barely understand a word she was saying. Have you ever counted the number of times she misused the word “also” in her speeches?
You, too, obviously, are trying to make a point in being “educated,” as you pointed the Soviet bloc and China. The average Joe Blow would not have made such a commentary.
Sorry your silly candidates lost . . . Perhaps both will spend the extra time they have on their hands, and read a copy of “The Goof Proofer.”
