Obama in Asheville to Hit McCain for Adviser’s “Turning a Page on This Financial Crisis” Remark

Did you know the FBI does not run ANY background checks on Presidential Candidates if they are chosen by either the Democratic or Republican National Committees? U.S. Senators are automatically given a Secret clearance without a proper background investigation! And you think the Bail-Out was awesome because people were sleeping at the helm. Obama, Ayers, Rezko and others have found the loophole and have figured out how to get Obama elected. This is such an important issue that everyone should go to the following Web Browser, and at least read the extremely well written law suit.

Obama campaign was saying how good this crisis was. The dems on capital hill were giddy about it.
Why don’t you mention the quotes how advantageous the crisis is according to the dem state party chairman in ohio.
How about the new video of Samantha Power who would be Obama’s secretary of state saying we should invade Israel.

mccain’s desperate smear tactics are disappointing. i thought he was a better man than this. to paraphrase, “it’s still the economy, stupid.”

A solid hit. The best response to negative slime is to point out that McCain has nothing else to offer. His bag of tricks is exhausted. Mud is all he has left. Obama should continue to stick with the economy, which Americans want to hear about.
People just aren’t buying what McCain is selling.

Ann,
The bailout would not have been necessary if Republicans Paulson and Cox and Bush had done their darned jobs to protect taxpayers (shareholders, retired people relying on their investments, young people trying to plan for their retirement). Instead, Paulson and Bush and Cox and McCain opted for cronism, then helped their friends steal our dough.
Get a clue, please.
Obama/Biden 08!

This is why Obama will be the next President of the United States.
He will not back down.

J A K E
I found that new skit on Saturday Night Live about Pelosi, Bush, and Barney really funny.
Will you report on this, as this is of actual importance to America’s financial soundness as opposed to mocking Palin’s mannerisms?

Yeah, I guess I’d be “turning the page” too if I owned 13 HOUSES and 22 CARS.
What about the rest of us who have ONE HOUSE, Mr. MCCAIN?

Please Jake, stop being so obsessed with parity – you don’t have to add silly balancing comments like “And is it fair to call any reference to Obama’s association with William Ayers a “Swiftboat-style attack”?”. Who cares about that kind of minutiae?

again McCain Palin
the worst ticket our nation has ever seen at a time that their team has put us in the worst pre-election status that we have seen …if you include the WAR…our status in the world…our economy…our bungled constitution after 8 years of their team #@#$ing it up…
throw these lying covering up distracting ignorant millionaire deregulating bums out

Concerned in Ohio,
You only got one part of your rant correct: “What about Frank Raines, who made $90M in 6 years as CEO of Fannie Mae? Another Friend of Bush, and not a 0bama campaign adivsor?”
Frank Raines has never been an Obama campaign advisor.
Obama/Biden 08!

From the Associated Press:
“This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America,” Sarah Palin said. “We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism.”
Her reference to Obama’s relationship with William Ayers, a member of the Vietnam-era Weather Underground, was exaggerated at best if not outright false. No evidence shows they were “pals” or even close when they worked on community boards years ago and Ayers hosted a political event for Obama early in his career.
Obama, who was a child when the Weathermen were planting bombs, has denounced Ayers’ radical views and actions… Palin’s incendiary charge draws media and voter attention away from the worsening economy. It also comes after McCain supported a pork-laden Wall Street bailout plan in spite of conservative anger and his own misgivings.
Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?
In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers’ day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.
Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as “not like us” is another potential appeal to racism. It suggests that the Hawaiian-born Christian is, at heart, un-American.
Most troubling, however, is how allowing racism to creep into the discussion serves McCain’s purpose so well. As the fallout from Wright’s sermons showed earlier this year, forcing Obama to abandon issues to talk about race leads to unresolved arguments about America’s promise to treat all people equally.
John McCain occasionally looks back on decisions with regret. He has apologized for opposing a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He has apologized for refusing to call for the removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol.
When the 2008 campaign is over McCain might regret appeals such as Palin’s perhaps more so if he wins.

NY Times – Obama and ’60s Terrorist Bomber: Willam C. Ayers, Weather Underground terrorist and now an “educator” at the University of Chicago, has been a longtime friend of Sen. Obama. Obama has described him as just somebody that lives in the neighborhood. It’s a lie. I know it’s a harsh word to use, but they’re close friends. They are associates. Obama’s career was launched in Ayer’s house! This guy was one of Obama’s mentors, taught him the ins and outs of radicalism as authored by separatist Saul Alinsky. The relationship between Ayers and Obama is much deeper and longer than Obama admits. Read the NY Times report … [Oct. 3, 2008].

sp,
Thank you for sharing the AP info. Good stuff and right on point. McCain camp will stoop to anything dishonest at this point. I am ashamed for his followers.
Obama/Biden 08!

Obama said he would be glad for gas prices to go up gradually.
Obama doesn’t care about the middle class.
Obama railed how the middle class was anti trade at a fundraiser for a billionaire in san francisco.
Obama has no economic experience.
Obama never worked in a business, obama never ran a state, obama was never on an economics commitee even though he lied and said he was.
Obama has no background in the economy and is terrible with numbers.
Hillary is a policy wonk and was cheated out of the presidency when she got the most votes.

Betsy, If you are correct, the below post should be allowed as there are no URLs. only the reference to the source. Let see if the media will allow the truth about Obama to see the light of day.
“Instead, Obama cozied up to the what was left over on the South Side from an earlier activist era. Now it was Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger, Judson Miner, Marilyn Katz, David Axelrod and Bernardine Dohrn, who offered him mentorship and connections on an alternative road to power. These individuals are not just representative of the odd politics of Chicago. They are linked to a wider national milieu of politically correct and authoritarian political activists that include people who are more comfortable with the Chavez regime in Venezuela than they are with American democratic institutions like organized labor.
Now at the level of a presidential campaign, why doesn’t Obama distance himself more forcefully from this crowd? Because he wants that Ayers/Dohrn camp to help provide him poltical support and direction on a national level. Already there has been the selection of Linda Darling-Hammond as a key education advisor who endorses repaying the alleged billions in “education debt owed to people of color” by whites (read: reparations).
Once in the Oval Office, Obama can either continue to look to this crowd for guidance in key policy areas or he may use them to balance off against the pressures coming from more mainstream elements in the Cambridge/Wall Street/Georgetown power structure.
What will be left out of an Obama administration will be a genuine voice for the millions of Americans who thought they were voting for genuinely progressive and democratic Change.” From GlobalLabor.blogspot

Strategically the McCain camp has no clue how to run a campiagn. I’m not saying this b/c I’m bias but it’s true. The McCain camp is clueless.
Why would campaign state their strategy to the world and give time for the other side to respond. Clueless.
Obama/Biden08

“These false charges have been thoroughly investigated by media in Chicago … “

sp, what do YOU think? i dont really care to read other columns on this site. thanks? Posted by: Keepyourheelsdown | Oct 5, 2008 1:25:27 PM
===================================
I think I agree with what I’m posting… or why would i share it? Many others post parts of articles for similar effect.
Specifically, I think it’s a shame that McCain / Palin will now take us down the path of attempted character destruction instead of giving us their ideas on what they would do if they win the election. Obama / Biden give us their ideas and want to talk about the economy and other issues. The silence on our nation’s troubles coming out of the McCain campaign should be troubling to their supporters, I would think.

Paul Begala was on “Meet the Press” and suggest that McCain does not want to go the guilt by association route as McCain has some interesting background also.

Perhaps not the best choice of words.
But the point is, the bill has passed, the banks will lend more, and the economy entails more than this crisis.
They always cry disastrous Bush economic policies but never say anything specific.
Was it the repeal of the Gramm Glass-Steagall act that Clinton passed along with much Congressional support?
“But I have really thought about this a lot. I don’t see that signing that bill had anything to do with the current crisis. Indeed, one of the things that has helped stabilize the current situation as much as it has is the purchase of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America, which was much smoother than it would have been if I hadn’t signed that bill.”
Was it the tax cuts?
“Even if we’re still in a recession, I’m going to go through with my tax cuts,” Obama said. “That’s my priority.”
TIME: What about increasing taxes on the wealthy?
“I think we’ve got to take a look and see where the economy is. I mean, the economy is weak right now,” Obama said on “This Week” on ABC. “The news with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, I think, along with the unemployment numbers, indicates that we’re fragile.”
Was it “loose” regulations?
5 years ago, the Bush administration, during the great housing times, warned about Fannie/Freddie, but the Democrats in charge didn’t budge, not Barney Frank and his lovers there, not Dodd, who took in more money from them then anyone else.
The SNL skit on Bush/Pelosi/Frank spells it out pretty clearly.
Even Alec Baldwin isn’t going to step in line with the Democrats.

Strategically the McCain camp has no clue how to run a campiagn. I’m not saying this b/c I’m bias but it’s true. The McCain camp is clueless.
Why would campaign state their strategy to the world and give time for the other side to respond. Clueless.
Obama/Biden08

Obama said in the primary debates that Ayers is just a guy in his neighbourhood. Now that is not the case. If you sit on the same board with unrepentant terrorist and hold a fundraiser in his living room to kick off your political carrer, why is that individual just a guy in your neighbourhood?

The media is in the tank for Obama.
The media loved crucifying Hillary to help Obama.
The media wants the most far left candidate to win.
Obama is the most liberal senator and the media adores him.
Obama would have no oversight in congress as the dems control congress.
Obama would have 60 dem senators and filibuster proof majority.
Obama would own the supreme court, the senate, the house, the media.
McCain would have to deal with a dem senate and dem congress and a hostile media.
We need checks and balances in government. One party system of Obama, Reid and Pelosi and the media isn’t good for democracy.
With 60 dem senators Obama will be able to pick the most far left wing supreme court justice.
We nee

It’s my impression that ABC has loosened up or changed the former prohibition on external links.
If so, this is a good thing.
Various reasons to allow links were offered in a previous thread on censorship here, but surely the “bipartisan” embrace of the corporate bailout — while both major party candidates offer audiences patronizing pap like Obama’s in Asheville — is an important NEW reason to allow discussion to reference information from non-corporate sources.

Obama said our troops in afghanistan are air raiding villages.
Obama looks down at our military. They are defending themselves while the taliban uses innocents as sheilds.
Obama has a sick view of our military.
Obama praised Wright after Wright said America’s chickens came home to roost on 9/11.
Electing Obama is an insult to every person in uniform.

The loose regulations argument is being applied to the wrong side of the financial question. Loose regulations were allowed by the republicans so that rumor-mongering short-sellers could steal. Credit has dried up because banks cannot lend to each other without great fees attached. Huge fees are attached because the rumor-mongering short-sellers (bears) caused the well-performing companies’ stocks to tumble without just cause.
Obama/Biden 08!

Hey Jeff: has Sarah Palin said ANYTHING that turns out to be true?
in August 2007, in Nashua, New Hampshire, speaking to supporters, Senator Obama called for an increase of U.S. troops in that war zone because, without the influx, operations were being limited to air raids that resulted in many preventable civilian deaths.
======================================
“Now you have narco drug lords who are helping to finance the Taliban,” Obama said, “so we’ve got to get the job done there [in Afghanistan], and that requires us to have enough troops that we are not just air raiding villages, and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there.”
======================================
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, two weeks ago:
U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates apologized Wednesday for recent U.S. airstrikes that have killed civilians in Afghanistan.
====================================
“I offer all Afghans my sincere condolences and personal regrets for the recent loss of innocent life as a result of coalition air strikes,” Gates said at a news conference outside the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. While no military has ever done more to prevent civilian casualties, it is clear that we have to work even harder.”
===================================

Nothing wrong with McCain’s health. He produced his health records- where are Barry’s?
McCain’s mother is in her 90s and sharp as a tack.
Obama’s parents both died young (alcoholism and cancer)- and Obama SMOKES!
Palin handled the debate with Biden deftly- since the left-wing media had succeeded in manipulating her interviews with Gibson and Couric by editing to make her look bad.
Sure hope the folks are paying attention to the questionable and nefarious associations, friends and mentors Obama has had over the years and NOW.
Hope the nation will tune in to Hannity’s America tonight at 9 p.m. on the Fox News Channel. The expose will open your eyes to “the company Barry keeps.”
(Obama-What’s The Facts?)
Interesting and disturbing reading.

Why do we keep fighting each other instead of working together to make things better? We really are a country that is of the people, but we’re so stupid we let politicians ad corporations run it for us and they have gotten us to the point where we trust them and not each other. Come on everybody. we’re all in the same boat. Let’s not drown. Think about what you are doing when you vote. If something is broke, fix it. Try something new, but let’s remember that we really all want the same thing. We can onlyget it from each other.

Jake…how about a story on G Gordon Liddy and his good pal McCain.

“The media is shoving this chicago machine political hack down our throats.”

Why does this country think Obama is going to do jack for them…give us a money tree for our backyards? Economicaly these guys are not going to be able to do much for ANYBODY at this point….be real…..50% of Americans just vote for who they like…but the welfare crowd is all behind Obama as they feel he is going to give them more handouts. Universal health care…kiss that good bye. It’s a shame people have been hoodwinked by Obama like he has a masters in finance. He just wants to get his face on the dollar bill…..as he likes to remind us “they’re going to say he’s different….did you notice he’s black”
YEAH OBAMA, AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE.
I AM A HILLARY SUPPORTER, AND WE ALL KNOW SHE WAS MORE QUALIFIED, but the Chicago thug machine chewed her up good, and lib media.
WE’RE NOT GOING TO STAND FOR BEING RUN LIKE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY AND BE TOLD BY OUR MEDIA WHAT WE MUST DO!
Wake up, kool aid drinkers….this is not Denzil Washington play acting as Prez……any other black candidate out there I could have voted for BUT NEVER THIS ONE, EVER!!!!!!! Unacceptable!

Obama and Biden are two lawyers that tell lies.
America doesn’t need those two running the White House. Send them back to the US Senate and put the two mavericks in the White House for the next four years.
Country First!
McCain-Palin ‘08
Hillary ‘12

McCain / Palin: Empty Words. No Ideas. More of the Same. Attack Obama.

The decade of the 60s, and into the 70s, was one of great changes, great tragedies and an age of awakening for many Americans. Watergate had revealed to the world that the leader of the “Imperial Presidency”, Richard Nixon, had been stripped naked before the world. John F. Kennedy, a leader of great promise, had been assassinated. Martin Luther King, one of the greatest civil rights leader of all time, had also been assassinated, and then so had Democratic presidential candidate, Robert Kennedy. The Weathermen was a semi-violent response to the floundering ineptitude of our government. Some members of this organization did commit violent acts during which innocent people lost their lives. However, there’s no evidence that Ayers was involved in those acts. Just as Obama has considered him a friend, so has Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago. During the decades in quetion, those individuals who dared to speak out were instruments of great change. It’s the same premise of ‘the squeaky wheel gets the oil’.

My prop value went DOWN under Clinton, and dramatically. And Clinton was the one saying every one should be able to own a house, even if you can’t afford one…SO WHO THE HELL YOU THINK IS PAYING FOR THOSE HOMES NOW? That’s right…minorites and others that had no money in the bank and no way of paying for those mortgages, and WE HAVE CLINTON TO THANK FOR THAT.
McCAIN/PALIN ALL THE WAY.

finally, the GOP is doing what the media failed in their responsibility to do, provide some investigative attention to the Ayers issue. It IS significant, in that it not only shows a poor lack of judgment on Obama’s part, but also, his history of lies, and the mere fact that Ayers, a known radical, would make Obama a chair of his 50 million dollar grant, out of the blue, would mean that Obama shared those radical views.
And Ayers was not in jail due to a legal technicality, and his dad happens to be former chair of commonwealth edison. It is all the Chicago machine.
why is Obama trying to distract this isseu? Because he doesn’t want to talk about it.
the FACTS about Ayers and Obama are truly truly scary and frightening, and every American has a patriotic duty to be informed about this, before making the mistake of voting for this dangerous fraud Obama.

minorites and others that had no money in the bank and no way of paying for those mortgages, and WE HAVE CLINTON TO THANK FOR THAT.
McCAIN/PALIN ALL THE WAY.

ah, empty head, filled by Rush. ditto head.

IS IT ME, OR IS OBAMA YELLING MORE AT HIS RALLIES? I HATE THAT REV. WRIGHT PREACHER YELLING STYLE! Maybe BO should have thought of becoming a man of the cloth…and work only one day a week…..as he hated showing up in the Senate…..only worked 143 days as Senator.
Campaigning 19 months DOES NOT QUALIFY ONE TO BE PREZ!
Has Obama ever served this country like McCain and his family FOR OVER 100 YEARS. Yeah, Obama is deserving….dad was a sheep herder in Kenya, and mom was a liberal radical nut job. Poor Obama abandoned by both Dads…Indonesian dad kicked him back to gran/gramps too. Issues of abandonment are why BO loves adulating crowds.
NO BAMA, NO EGO FIRST.
COUNTRY FIRST McCAIN/PALIN!

“I will cast my vote for the best team.”

Old stale tried and failed dirty politics of McCain-Palin has reared it’s ugly head again. No worries the American people will surely reject them once again. It’s ALL about the economy stupid !
Everyone who has half a brain already know that this kind of nasty tactic of McCain-Palin is a LIE and has been debunked many times. But I guess if one has an evil heart, if one is unqualified to be VP and president, and whose campaign is in the toilet; then I guess it’s the only thing one can try to dig up and make every effort to try to turn the page on the economy.
So if they want to focus their attention and energy in this direction, then I hope ALL of the American people will completely reject them.
I am glad Obama is revealing truths and staying focused on what the American people need !
The America people will definitely have a real clear choice – to vote for a campaign [ Bush-McCain-Palin ] that focuses on LIES, rather that putting forth an economic plan that will benefit the lives of the America people, and put the country on a better path. Or vote for the ticket [ Obama-Biden ] that has manintained focused on an economic plan and vision to bring prosperity and justice to ALL of the American people and NOT just the wealthy and well connected.
It’s time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It’s time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It’s time for REAL change in Washington, it’s time to elect Barack Obama for president !
Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

Lobby Money: Obama often boasts he is “the only candidate who isn’t taking a dime from Washington lobbyists,” yet his fundraising team includes 38 members of law firms that were paid $138 million last year to lobby the federal government, records show. Those lawyers, including 10 former federal lobbyists, have pledged to raise at least $3.5 million for Obama’s presidential race. Listen to Obama lie, then read the names of lobbyists who contributed more than $138 Million to his campaign. [Source: ANCNews].

John McCain just ran out of steam. No idea, no substance.
I’m an on again, off again republican voter who just can’t imagine voting for McCain. He’s at sea on every issue. Tired, angry, lost.

Only the same fools that voted for Bush two times in a row would work to bring us a third term. We need an intelligent and thoughtful president. We do not need an erratic and trigger happy person. John McCain is a scary man and not at all stable enough to run the country.

The McCain campaign is obviously in desperation mode. I can’t think of a bigger non-issue than Ayers. The entire time Barack Obama has known him, Jim Ayers has been a well-respected professor of education at the University of Illinois, and a world renown expert on school reform. His “weatherman wife” is a law professor at Northwestern University. Obama and Ayers are not close, but served on two charity boards together–boards full of business and civic leaders, democrats and republicans alike. Barack hasn’t even seen the guy in 3 years. Yeah, Ayers did some bad stuff a long time ago…when Barack was 8! Get the “heck” outta here with that Ayres nonsense. How desperate and sad, what’s left of John McCain.

McCain Used an Economic Terrorist, to shut down Morgage Companies. Rick Davis contuinued to Feed McCain Inside Information, and Middle Class Money, into Fear Tactics, used by Capitol Terrorism.
This disturbs me more than a ‘Far Away Past’, as Palin describes, yet she needs to look closer, at De-Regulations for Free Marketing horrors.
McCain has led his Gambling Tactics against Middle America, for over 12 years. Following in the footsteps, of Nixons ‘I am not a Crook’ advisors. The TV Star Maverick, played better cards than McCain. At least the tv star gambled for Middle America.
Most of what Palin repeats on stage is the same Bush Campaign, from 8 years ago.
And don’t forget McCain telling Republicans, to hold out for the PORK, added to this Bill. It was funny,to hear the Republicans arguing amongest each other, on the topic, ‘if there was a money crises or not’. This shows on National TV, just how out of touch, McCain and Radical Republicans are. If McCain carred, so much for Middle America, he should have reached across the table to Middle Americans, and told us, ‘Yes We will Help’. But instead, sat in his office, and played PORK COOKER. McCain’s vauge remarks, that Capitol Socialism is GOOD for America. Wrong. Vote Independent, and hope McCain takes the next bus Home.
Watch CNN and MSNBC for Truth and Justice, for Middle Americans.

Why should republicans get rewarded for screwing up America from Iraq to this financial mess? Isn’t that like rewarding CEOs with huge bonuses even when they screw up the company. Sure let’s reward the people that screwed things up. Who’s stupid enought to do that? A fool, idiot, moron, masochist, lobbyist?
Not only is McCain out of touch but….anybody here that advocates voting for McCain who is a member of the republican party the same party that has screwed up and ruined our great nation is either a paid blogger, delusional or stupid. I could add more but you get the picture. Republicans must be punished for ruining our great nation.

Just in in, effort to regain m omentum the McCain Campaign anounced today that Palin will be at the top of the ticket and McCain will run as VP!

Watch CNN and MSNBC for Truth and Justice, for Middle Americans.

They are having the Biden weekly PITY PARTY……..HE LOST THE DEBATE!!!

I know exactly what Barack Obama is going to do tomorrow. Tomorrow, Barack Obama is going to get on the stump, and he’s going to say (in mock Barack Obama tone) “Yesterday, John McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis said, and I’m not making this stuff up,” and then proceed to taking a snippet of what someone said, rearrange some words, ommit some words, and get to “we… want… to… turn… the… page… on… this… financial… crisis.” And it’s going to be funny, it will be comedic, but in all seriousness, it won’t be becoming of a candidate seeking the highest office in the land. Take away the media fawning, take away the media hype, and all you have is just another leftist practicing Rovian tactics. PUMA.

OBUMA and the DEMOCRATS have screwed over too many people in all levels of life for your tired divisive tactics from the DEMOCRATIC playbook(FRAUD AND TERRIOST TIES) to work this time. You might as well get use to responsible adults McCain/PALIN handling America’s affairs.

Reading these comments has been enlightening. It’s clear how people keep voting over and over for their own demise because doing so validates their hatreds. How one campaigns is a sign of how one will govern. With McCain, we can look forward to more of the divisive character assassination that helped lead our country to its current sorry state.

Well there you go again John, lookin to the past instaed of lookin to the future with Joe Six Pack!

I SEE THE REPUBLICAN TROLL SMEAR MACHINE IS AT FULL SPEED TODAY!!!
According to Republicans, John McCain and Sarah Palin, everyone that supports Obama or wants to hear about issues is either a COMMUNIST or a TERRORIST!!
Wow, you scumbags have really hit a new low…
Well go ahead, forget about the economy, the issues, the endless war in Iraq and energy… Let’s talk about how Obama is black, he’s scary and a terrorist and we are all communists, ya that ought to work…
CAN YOU SAY LOSER McCAIN? CAN YOU SAY DESPERATE PALIN? The American people see right through this nonsense you know!
Especially when your campaign is stupid enough to tell everybody what your new game plan is for the next 29 days!!
Get smart people: Obama/Biden ’08!!!!!

Well there you go again John, lookin to the past instaed of lookin to the future with Joe Six Pack!

AH a wonderful thing to see you really thinking AND QUOTING GOVERNOR PALIN!!!

Clintonites for McCain
” Take away the media fawning, take away the media hype, and all you have is just another leftist practicing Rovian tactics. PUMA.”
Are you having to many sixpacks. McCain is playing a sleezy, despicable campaign with his Karl Rove gang and you accuse Obama of Rovian tactics…
It’s like turning the world upside-down…

IT IS A FACT THAT WHEN YOU ARE DOWN, YOU WANT TO DRAG PEOPLE WITH YOU, AMERICA AND AMERICAN ARE TOO INTELLIGENT TO BUY TO THIS NONSENSE MCCAIN IS DOING, PEOPLE HAVE MADE UP THEIR MINDS ALREADY, HE DOESNT GET IT, HE PISSED ME OFF WHEN HE ANNOUNCED THAT HE WILL SUSPEND CAMPAIGN BECAUSE OF WALL STREET, WHAT NONSENSE, PRESIDENT MULTI TASK, HE HAS LOST IDEAS AND WANTS TO CARRY US BACK AGAIN, THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN NOW LACKS IDEAS, I AM HURTING AND I WANT SOMEONE TO PROMISE ME THAT THINGS WILL BE ALRIGHT AFTER CLUELESS BUSH LEAVES OFFICE.

I’m glad Obama is responding quickly to these attacks unlike Kerry who let them go on and on until people actually started believing them. I’m proud of the democratic candidate this time, he is smart and will not let anyone tear him down!

Dr. Larry Hunter: Lifelong conservative republican economist and former Reagan official supports Senator Obama.

In 2004 videotape, Bin Laden explained his strategy against U.S. — ‘bleed until bankruptcy.’
Over on the Wonk Room, Matt Duss recalls this line from Osama bin Laden’s surprise late-October 2004 videotaped address:
======================================
And even more dangerous and bitter for America is that the Mujahedin recently forced Bush to resort to emergency funds to continue the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq which is evidence of the success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan with Allah’s permission… And it all shows that the real loser is… you. It’s the American people and their economy.
===================================
The CIA judged that Bin Laden’s videotaped message was an effort by al Qaeda to deliver four more years for President Bush, thus helping them recruit a new generation of terrorists.

Definitely a fair hit. And it’s fair to call the references we’ve seen so far to Obama’s association with William Ayers a “Swiftboat-style attack” – there’s nothing substantial in them at all. It’s basically ‘Obama knows college professor with radical past’ – well, so what? Has his interaction with Ayers been in respect to Ayer’s radical past, or has it been with Ayer’s job as a college professor? It’s the latter – and ‘Obama knows college professor’ isn’t much of a story.
The McCain campaign needs something much, much, more substantial if they’re going to make something out of it. It’s one thing to try and make a mountain out of a molehill, but what they have is a very small piece of dirt.

so Mc CAIN plans to fight the economic crisis by…turning the page???? and smear Obama during 30 days??????????
Euh may i understand why smear Obama instead of making his own case???I mean is there something that i don’t understand???

Keep talking about the issues, Senator Obama, and you’ll keep the movement going your way. Undecideds are not going to be swayed by another round of distort, distract, divide and lie.
You’ve gotta love seeing the McCain Points competitors try to join Clinton and Palin together as victims of “sexism.” Clinton and Palin have about as much in common as Meryl Streep and Paris Hilton do.

How could anyone ever trust John McLie and Sarah Six-Pack after this last character assault? Almost everytime they open their mouths, a lie pops out. I’m voting straight Democrat. The more of the GOP that we can weed out of the system, the better off we will be.

Well, I had the pleasure of seeing Barack Obama today in Asheville, and I’m glad I had the opportunity. He speaks about what matters to most Americans, whether they support him or not, he cares more about the working and middle class and I’m looking forward to see what he will accomplish when he becomes our next President of the United States!

The fact that some people don’t recognize that the associations Obama has made define his is saddening.
Ayers is not only an American terrorist, like the OKC bombers, but a known racist, against whites.

I love you Barack Obama!!!! Just keep on talking to the American people. We need a president that’s going to look out for us!!! I’m tired of the rich getting richer and the poor becoming poorer! John Mccain let’s not turn the page on the economy that’s why we’re in this mess today because no one was paying attention.

Why dont we just go back to the real John McCain and the Keating 5. It just does not get any better for McCain. 9 trips to Keating’s estate in the Bahamas. His wife’s $359 thousand investment in a shopping mall with KEATING. What about all those retiries losing their life’s savings. And it cost tax payers 3.4 billion. How dare you Mcfake. All those meetings with Keating and 4 other Senators. It is appauling that McCain has the gall to challenge Barack’s charater. Check it out- The Keating 5 say’s it all.

To Mr. Steve Bailey and anyone else who would like to imply that the millions of Obama supporters are all idiots: please review the above link. We can then put to rest the tired issue of whether or not Obama supporters are ignorant, and begin instead to address the dire need in this country and this world for a leader with the vision, the courage, the humility and the intelligence to pull off the rescue we so desperately need.

Palin talks about Obama – does she even realize she might be the only VP candidate to ever be indicted? Based on what I have seen – she doesn’t have a clue….

There is no Keating Five scandal for McCain. The Senate Judiciary Chief Counsel said McCain was innocent of all allegations, and should never have been charged, and is now supporting McCain.
As for dredging up the Keating 5 business (an S & L failure), Bob Bennett, who was the lawyer hired by the Senate’s investigative Committee in that mess, and who is a lifelong Democrat who represented Bill Clinton.

To the commenters who say Obama isn’t specific, that is complete bunk.
I attended the Asheville rally and he spent a long part of his speech identifying specific elements of his health plan and how his administration will work with employers, insurance providers and states to ensure that Americans are covered and businesses get the best possible deals from health insurers.
Ignorance is worse than stupidity because it’s a choice. Choose to be informed and everyone’s life will be better for it.

Bill Ayers has been a recurring decimal since the commencement of political Campaign over a year ago.
We got a ear-full of that name during the primaries.
Smear Campaign is as old as elections in the United States of America and it is usually employed by the losing and despirate party to scare and hoodwink Voters to vote for an undeserving Candidate.
George Bush used it against John McCain in the GOP Primaries of 2000 and it worked. George Bush also used it with John Kerry in 2004 and it worked too. But See what it got us.
And guess who the architect of the smear Campaigns were?
Karl Rove and his alter ego, Schmidts.
Schmidts is presently a senoir Advisor in McCain Campaign and swift-boating and smears are back.
But this is not 2000 and we are no longer in 2004. Americans have grown Wiser since then.
Whether McCain and his cohorts resort to the Smear Campaign they are known for or not will make no difference.
It shows who puts Country first over self.
A hurting economy, a hurting People and yet, McCain prefers to embark on a hurtful Campaign.
It is his prerogative to run his Campign as he wishes and it is our prerogative to either allow ourselves to be taken for a ride once again or tell THESE POLITICIANS THAT BELIEF THAT WE DON’T HAVE A HEAD TO THINK, THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

jeremy,
Lot of love and respect for your comment.
I guess that makes all the students Professor Willaim Ayers have taught since he started his career as an Educator, guilty of guilt by Association.
McCain is despirate, he has a drowning Campaign and he wouldn’t mind pulling everyone within his grasp with him to the Ocean floor.
But I am happy that the new generation Americans are Wiser.
Though McCain and his Campaign still treat Americans as if the are Morons.

Keating 5 is a relevant scandal that goes directly to John McCains judgement. Why is no one talking about any of the other republicans that served on the same board as Ayers. Give me a break. Ayers is McCains hail mary and all the while the American people are hurting, the economy is near collapse and McCain and his sidekick are doing everything to change the subject from their lack of knowledge of economics.
They are a pair of bumbling idiots!

Is it fair? I suppose it’s fair for McCain to reference the Ayers “relationship,” but it’s not fair to misrepresent it as something more intimate or recent than it was. Is it far for Obama to call attention to McCain’s (publicly stated) shift to personal attacks? I say yes. The propensity of old-style politicians to spin the truth as it suits their whim is an important issue in this election. I’m tired of it. McCain is falling back on the old smear tactics that voters have vociferously decried. Why doesn’t McCain talk about his own platform? Why doesn’t Palin even understand their platform? Look, if for no other reason, we simply can’t elect McCain because despite our differences on so many others issues, 90% of us simply can’t fathom Sarah Palin that close to the Oval Office, regardless of our party affiliation. I’m gonna go put on my Ojamas, and make some phone calls for the Obama/Biden campaign.

No matter what anyone thinks of the economy, the troubles we have are almost directly linked to the Government. Government intervention to the point that men and women who couldn’t normally get a loan for snack crackers were getting loans for houses.Fannie and freddie execs getting huge bonuses, donating to the politicians who looked the other way on the schemes and customers fudging their applications with lies of income and net worth. But it was mostly the government in a business they had no business of being in that has got us to where we are at. The fact that the Democrats wanted a nonpartisn agreement to cover their rears should say all we need to know about their intentions and if anyone thinks Obama and his cohorts had nothing to do with this is badly mistaken.
And for a Governent that can’t handle social security, medicare, education without wrecking it why would anyone want to elect anyone who wants the Governemt to have a yet bigger role in running their lives?
Most American companies, the workers that make them grow and prosper are honest and good citizens. The business basics are sound and better than anyone place on earth, except for corporate taxes. If Obama wins it will be because his campaign has made the majority cowar with fear for their future and fear, sadly, over rules rational thinking.
