Obama: McCain Every Halloween Dresses Up as George W. Bush

Obama is a LIAR, and has a temper too. I think he will implode very soon, he has too much pressure to keep up the facade he has put forth to the American people. He is a fake.
I just read that he plans on taking expectations of “change” away soon, because he cannot deliver on this promise to the American people. There will be NO change. He ran his election on the notion he was an “agent of change”.
Empty promises, and hot air for 2 years.. What a joke.

Obama is one of the most intelligent, concise politicians I’ve known so far.
Obama/Biden 08!

Oh! The McPain of it all!!

more of obama’s wornout rhetoric with no substance.

Oxy- Rather than call out all of your inane comments, I’ll just call out one.
Obama supporters are “lazy bums”? Uhhh, have you seen the polls? Do you understand what’s going on with the Obama ground game? Obama supporters are anything BUT lazy. They’ve been killing McCain’s chances of winning for months now. For McCain’s part, he has to hire temp workers to canvass for him and make his robocalls, can’t get people to work at his volunteer offices, and is having his cronies do all they can to suppress the vote since he can’t inspire or motivate anyone to WORK HARD and organize for him. Remember the words “community organizer”? Community organizers are the people that will throw the GOP out on their arses come Nov. 4th.

Tell us more about the Gary rally.

I think it more scary for bush to trick or trick as mccain .After looking into mcbushes history he is far scarier than bush kinda like an evil version of bush.

So “ml”, where do you get your information? McCain’s website? Bush’s intelligence sources? What temper? What “change”? What are you talking about?

I see the difference between Obama and McCain as more gut instinctive. Its not about this fear stuff being thrown around and its not about minimizing Obama into something less than McCain on the economy. Nor is it about this socialism or radical nonsense.
The polls are showing the truth here. The American people are finally seeing what McCain and Obama stand for. They see a stronger leader in Obama, something they hope for and with bated breath are hoping is not just too good to be true.
The more they see of both of them, the more this moves to Obama. With good reason I might add. You can’t watch this long and not get it that Obama is genuine, capable and altruistic.
And, you can’t miss that McCain’s campaign is all about “spin” to understate rather dramatically. The problem is that the truth is so far off what McCain needs to spin it into, that the spinning takes a legion of spiders. And the web spun from all that spinning, is just tying the ticket to the floor…..
America will be voting for the change she clearly needs. And America realizes she must vote out the partisan gridlock to ensure the change can happen. She knows the Republicans, under current leadership, are incapable of dealing in good faith on that matter. And I would say that if there is a risk with giving Obama the House and Senate, it pales in comparison to the opportunity to put America right.
Obama is seeking change. Big change, yes; but not to some new radical thing. The change is just a restoration of America to her fundamentals. A rejuvenation to her founding moral principles, to her bedrock of freedom, democracy and the American Way. It is incredible that revolutionary change is needed to restore America to her own bedrock. Indeed she has drifted, or more accurately, been driven far asunder. She is almost a fiction today, so far is she from her own truth.
Maybe we are too awestruck by Obama’s success so far to hope there could be more in this man. I think he will be able to drive forward his grass roots political movement. I will say though, and you can mark these words, that it will not be a Democratic movement, a liberal movement, or a radical movement. It will be simply an American movement that is lucid, inclusive, and cohesive….
I would not say he is the person America has been waiting for, but I argue he is the leadership she is waiting for…. His person and history is a great surprise and challenge for America. A surprise that I believe will ultimately delight her and a challenge, one that is long over due by the way, that she will not only embrace but meet as well….
On Tuesday, when America gives Obama the wheel, he will astutely point the train in America’s direction….
Obama will drive an American restoration. In good time, we will once again see that shining light on the hill, that glowing torch in the harbor, that open door to the neighbors, and follow that American Dream…..

And after 21 months, Obama still has not been able to tell the American people a single major thing he has ever done.

McCain geaduated 5th from the bottom of his class.
His thinking is outdated and backwards.
Obama was top of his class at Harvard. We need intelligent leadership.
Not below average Bush-McCain thinking.

go repubs and VOTE….. the dems are on the run.

I’m shocked by the hatred for Obama that oozes through this place. If this is typical white American sentiment, then I’m glad I never set foot in your country. I live in India and I’m shocked by the amount of envy that Americans have for India’s moonshot. While even people from India’s enemy Pakistan are expressing happiness over our achievement in space, Americans have been rubbishing it. Compare it with the happiness that people in India felt when Armstrong landed on the moon. In fact, Obama called India’s moonshot a challenge to America.
Yikes, I’m outta here.

Ah, it’s Halloween night and the goblin posts are out.
4 days until we have a new president. It will be Senator Obama if the election was held tomorrow.
Senator Obama is ahead by 6-7pts in the national polls and has has a substantial lead (six) and tie (two) in the Battle States. 250 electoral votes are in his pocket and just 20 needed for the presidency. Compare this to Senator McCain who has 135 electoral votes in his pocket. He must not only defend his deep red states, but he needs to turn around red states leaning towards Obama. He’s in deep doo doo at this point.

Obama was -top- of his class in Harvard? yeah that’s how come he knew united states of america has 57 states.

Lori, who you describe is Bush and the Republican Party when you say, “This is real life, where caveat emptor still applies, where you can still be fleeced naked by a slick salesman, and where your country can be raped of its standing, its resources, its security.”
Our country HAS been raped. Bush and GOP have done so. The GOP has unquestionably defied the rule of law numerous times the last eight years, while dangerously and unconstitutionally expanding the power of the executive branch.
Republican’s MUST lose for us to move forward.

Jade….. is that like the dems that LOVE to birth babies half way and clip their necks and suck the brains out a healthy baby?? the dems will foam at the mouth if you try to take that privledge away…sooooo,,,,, give me some examples of what bush did???

Say, I wonder if papa Obama (D-ACORN) told the girls they had to give up treats, spread the wealth so to speak

Dear Reformed Democrat,
Your long winded diatribe included nothing but slander, and lack of substance. You chose to attack a person based on campaign lies versus facts. When John McCain toutes around figures like “Joe the Plumber” as his hero, I wonder what type of example that sets (being that Joe the Plumber is a model American who hasn’t paid his taxes, while I and many others have). You criticize Obama of socialism, yet if you truly understood the meaning of the word you would see that your are using it incorrectly. The United States has been in serious times, since 2001 we have been in extremely serious times and the policies we have gone with simple put, HAVE NOT WORKED. So before you go off yelling, “Socialist”, Communist”, and Terrorist”, take a look what the current administration has done. Due to the financial crises the banks have been Nationalized (Socialist). During the war on terror, we have invaded other countries, violated the Geneva Code, and legtimized the use of Torture and Wire Tapping (sounds like the KGB to me). Take a good honest look at where we are today, and then tell me that we don’t need change. You can’t, because we absolutely do! Our place in the world, our ability to lead is based on how strong we are internally, and how we chose to lead and present ourselves around the world. To insult Obama supports as falling to “slick Hollywood” tricks, is truly ignorant. What you are willfully missing are millions of voices of everyday people from all walks of life saying, enough is enough…we’ve seen the errors of our ways and we want to make it better…that is change, and it actually means something.

YOU ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH..CARTER AND CLINTON GAVE YOU THE FANNIE AND FREDDIE IMPLOSION THE SENATE HAS BEEN CONTROLED BY DEMS THE LAST 2 YEARS THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING…. 7% APPROVAL RATING….. OBAMA WILL LOSE AND if you can’t see the MSM twisting the truth and favoring OBAMA YOUR EITHER DRUNK ALL THE TIME OR REALLY DELUSIONAL

Brad, how many of those “millions of voices” do you get to talk to on a day to day basis? Do you think you talk to more of them than the main stream media? What, are you talking about the fellers at your small-town bar?

Obama is fresh and a view to a possible future; McCain is what you see in your rearview mirror! So you need to ask yourself, are you for the future or afraid of letting go of the past! And secondly… Obama is clearly a change were McCain is not! My concern isn’t McCain… IT IS all the republicans he will appoint to his administration! If the BUSH people are in charge of PALIN, which is a fact, and then you can be sure those minions will be spread out through the Whitehouse again!
Its your choice so go make it!

I can’t vote for a guy who attends a church for 20 years preaching hate the white devils. That became hard to explain so he threw him under the bus for now. Along with the marxist utopian crap that he’s trying to make palatable. It shows very weak character and poor judgement and will cost Obama the election.

just a guy…..sure you are ….did ya see the light… REALLY!!!!…. BOY I’m gonna change my vote. what was it?? barry’s smile huh? his elequent speech??

Hey, TERRY, why are you so Republican anyway? What’s your reason? I bet you don’t earn more than 95% of Americans. So why are you fighting so hard? I bet you don’t own any oil companies, or get no-bid security contracts from the government. Is your life so much more stress-free today than it was eight years ago? Is it abortion? Is that the only reason? Because, you know, nobody likes abortion. It’s just a divisive ploy to motivate voters. No one (particularly Obama or McCain) will fix this problem.

brad, lol. No, now you changed my mind and i will vote for mccain because he is a boring, shallow, elitist, ‘buddy system’ type of guy who is only favorable with politicians in his own party. ya, you won me over dude, haha.

Bush and his cronies have run this country into the ground. Two wars, deficit. America is being punished.

Hum…let me think…dearm america, abortion, disguard israel, be taxed more(i give 15%of gross a year to charity,)will have to be ashamed of my country to fit in the new admin, on and on it goes. a chicago style government. etc etc. let me ask you a question chicago is so screwed up and barry and the boys are the overlords….so what do you think you’ll get???, chicago politics times 50

” I mean, you don’t know what John McCain is gonna do because he doesn’t talk about it, all he talks about is me.” B O

…. and all Y O U ever talk about Obama, is McCain and Palin.!

terry, i have heard this ‘chicago’ idea. empty argument. People would poke at him no matter where he paid his dues. The ‘bad chicago’ politics idea is associated with 1920′s chicago. Obama does transcend any single city politic, that is why he wants to be president.

Paparazzi: Obama has testy moment with the media…
THATS BECAUSE HE KNOWS HES GETTING HIS ARSE KICKED…..

Junior, get over the 57 states thing. You know there are more than 50 states in the world, right? (Not to mention the other US territories that also vote in the primaries, which Obama was probably referring to.)
There is a world out there beyond our borders that if you bothered to travel around in a bit you’d notice doesn’t like us very much.

Obama is awesome, McCain is just the wrong guy for the job period. I cant believe the GOP could not target a better nominee? The popular vote for obama over mccain is going to be a LANDSLIDE! Obama is the best public speaker for a very very long time. Obama is the epitomy of ‘good people skills’. This enables leadership, and good leadership causes even your enemies to join your side. Does mccain have this power? nope.

Brad, do you really believe Bush and the GOP have NOT repeatedly broken the rule of law? Okay, off the top of my head: how about the leaking names of covert operatives to the press for political gain? How about the unconstitutional politicization of the U.S. Attorneys? How about holding American citizens imprisoned without charges or representation? How about stealing the election of an Alabama Governor after the results were counted? How about preventing states from enforcing anti-predatory-lending laws, which led to the housing crisis and the financial meltdown on Wall Street? How about a war, based on false premises, which Bush still denies was a bad idea? How about illegal domestic surveillance without a warrant? Where have you been the past eight years!?

Obama was at the -top- of his class?
That’s how come he knows there are 57 states. even more bizarre he said he -traveled- to 57 states!
He lies about his promises to get elected. Now he’s managing expectations down to avoid riots:
Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week’s election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harbouring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.
The sudden financial crisis and the prospect of a deep and painful recession have increased the urgency inside the Obama team to bring people down to earth, after a campaign in which his soaring rhetoric and promises of “hope” and “change” are now confronted with the reality of a stricken economy.
In an interview with a Colorado radio station, Mr Obama appeared to be engaged already in expectation lowering. Asked about his goals for the first hundred days, he said he would need more time to tackle such big and costly issues as health care reform, global warming and Iraq. “The first hundred days is going to be important, but it’s probably going to be the first thousand days that makes the difference,” he said. He has also been reminding crowds in recent days how “hard” it will be to achieve his goals, and that it will take time.
“I won’t stand here and pretend that any of this will be easy – especially now,” Mr Obama told a rally in Sarasota, Florida, yesterday, citing “the cost of this economic crisis, and the cost of the war in Iraq”.

Senator McCain does not look or act presidential. He isn’t a leader of people or of uniting people. He is a Senator an has been in Congress for over 24 yrs. He’s great at single issues and moving them through the legislative process. He’s great at playing buddy to the press- or use to be. He should continue to be a senator and stay with something he is good at. Senator McCain has shown the American public over the last 4 years with his close tie to Bush and through this election process he has risen to the level of his incompetence. That says more than anything else.

Canada is as socialist as it can get without state-own everything like true socialist. People who make a lot, gets taxed a lot. Those who make below average gets government support. Free medical, free education. etc.
And what’s wrong with Canada? Look up the border, if you make a million dollars a year, then it’s probably not so great and you may want to stay below that bother if you don’t want half a million going to the government as tax. Otherwise, people are happy there and don’t have to worry about anything. Retirement funds get handed to them when they’re old, the government takes care of their kids and when they’re sick.

While Obama’s remarks may seem to him to be cutezy and a play on the holiday, they are lies. It is highly doubtful that McCain is dressing up as the President. Why should he? Unlike Obama, when he puts on the Presidency, it won’t be just for cutezy glitz and show. Obama’s statement can not be passed off as campaign rhetoric. He is flat out a Liar… smiling all the while. Doesn’t anyone of his supporters see the knife in his eye while they admire his white teeth?

via Drudge: ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error… McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling. He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all…

Okay, I am not going to divulge which political party I affiliate with so that I can maintain objectivity. It seems from reading the comments on all these news articles that people dont really know what socialism is, and it kind of annoys me that this whole anti obama campaign is run on a premise that most people are not even familiar with, just some gut McCarthy socialists are evil babble, from decades ago. Socialism is not about redistribution of anything, that might occur as a consequence, but the the system of socialism just calls for state owned means of production, rather than capitalist owned. Socialism works to unify the working class and improve their conditions, not to redistribute money. Furthermore, I should add that Marx was ALL FOR capitalism, he just didnt like that all the money made from capitalism went into the pockets of a few and all he called for was that the money made from capitalism be fueled back into the community so that people are actually working for their own conditions and for those of an elite capitalist. So feel free to attack Obama on legitimate grounds, that is completely acceptable and probably beneficial, but stop spitting the term socialist as a hot button without knowing what it is at all.

Today President Clinton said Obama recently asked him how to handle the economic crisis. He said “tell me what to do, and I will sell it to the people.” Obama knows no more about economics than McCain. By the way, most economists understand that the crisis is a result of Democrat’s actions as much as Republicans. Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac failed because of the Congressional Black Congress (do a search of old c-span videos).

Sounds like he almost pulled a “Sean Penn” and punched the paparazzi out.
That’s probably why he acted like an ass later on in Gary Indiana (home of the “Chicago machine” styled vote fraud during the primaries, btw)
What a primadonna celebrity Obama is.
He isn’t cut out for the White House.

John McCain’s Spooky Super Scary Halloween Nightmares

Enlightened thinking…
Nuanced thought and complex comprehensive understanding…

Oxy- Rather than call out all of your inane comments, I’ll just call out one.
Obama supporters are “lazy bums”? Uhhh, have you seen the polls? Do you understand what’s going on with the Obama ground game? Obama supporters are anything BUT lazy. They’ve been killing McCain’s chances of winning for months now. For McCain’s part, he has to hire temp workers to canvass for him and make his robocalls, can’t get people to work at his volunteer offices, and is having his cronies do all they can to suppress the vote since he can’t inspire or motivate anyone to WORK HARD and organize for him. Remember the words “community organizer”? Community organizers are the people that will throw the GOP out on their arses come Nov. 4th.

McCain lost all credibilty when he voted AGAINST up-armoring tactical vehicles for troops in Iraq. He’s a total phony!
USMC Veteran and Blue Star Mother voting for Obama who will increase troop strength (64,000 Soldiers, 17,000 Marines)
McCain’s a phony! Check his voting record at IAVA!
Government of the people, by the people, for the people!
OBAMA!

more of obama’s wornout rhetoric with no substance.

I think that the most frightening costume that John McCain could wear is… Sarah Palin.

Under Obama, competent people rather than right wing ideologues will hold key cabinet and administrative positions; qualified and fair minded judges will be assigned to the federal and Supreme courts; the constitution and the bill of rights will be respected rather than transgressed; the US military (and countless civilian lives) will not be sacrificed to neo-con wet dreams of a New World Order; a thoughtful leader who can appreciate complexity and nuance will be making the crucial decisions. And realistically, the corporate sector will continue to get more than their fair share. I firmly believe, however, that an Obama administration will instill far more economic equity than we currently have. Obama, like FDR, realizes that capitalism can only thrive when it delivers sufficient benefits to the working and middle classes. The concentration of wealth that has occurred over the last 8 years is not sustainable.

Obama is one of the most intelligent, concise politicians I’ve known so far.
Obama/Biden 08!

Hey Steave,
Drudge report? You can’t be serious…no one but a repub will believe that poll. Too funny! Hopefully come January, both Bush and McCain will be a distant and unpleasant memory.

Obama is a LIAR, and has a temper too. I think he will implode very soon, he has too much pressure to keep up the facade he has put forth to the American people. He is a fake.
I just read that he plans on taking expectations of “change” away soon, because he cannot deliver on this promise to the American people. There will be NO change. He ran his election on the notion he was an “agent of change”.
Empty promises, and hot air for 2 years.. What a joke.

flooding the blog? boooo!!!

what happended to ‘brainlessness’?

W.- ” i am the decider”
this is so classic of a very very poor public speaker, and not an isolated error or slip.

tj, what did i say about terrorists? nothing. About torture? nothing. Geneva convention rules? nothing.
If i were to say something….terror tactics have been in place since beginning of time and even the us has used it against other countries. we just like to call ourselves angels and call others criminals. I agree with you that getting info via torture is unreliable as i will say i am a flying witch from hell if you beat me enough, haha. Geneva rules are always broken when you start losing, those rules were made by the winners, not the losers. fyi

oh, and bush was re elected because gore was the only other choice and was not EVEN CLOSE TO BEING UP TO THE TASK.

Why is it that Mc Cain constantly attacks Obama?
What are you going to do for the U.S., Mc Cain? All these proposals, but no idea on how you will do them? Sorry, but I do not have confidence in this guy. Much respect for what he has done as a soldier- for our country, but not too sure if he is up to the task of president.
He has a hot temper & he reminds me of the bullies in the school yard- they have to call names to make themselves feel better. He keeps trying to shoot Obama down, instead of building himself up- what gives with that idea.
And Palin is no laughing matter. I am a woman & I was for McCain, until she came along. She avoids questions, because she doesn’t know the answers- she is also a mudslinger. True, she is a beautiful person to look at, but I do not see much substance there.
Great- she did things for Alaska, but I feel – GOD FORBID McCain gets elected & something happens. Boy she sure is NOT READY TO BE PRESIDENT.
You think it is bad under Bush- well, could you imagine if she was preseident! YIKES!!!

Maybe we should invite dear Sen. Obama to a McCain rally, since he apparently has no idea what McCain really talks about on the campaign trail.
He claims that McCain only talks about him– Obama. I know the man has a massive ego, but he needs to learn the world does not really revolve around him. McCain talks about the McCain energy policy (‘all of the above,’ nuclear power, offshore drilling, etc.), his mortgage plan (keep people in their homes by government restructuring of troubled mortgages pegged to current home values), his vow to eliminate pork and earmarks, his pledge to freeze nonessential government spending temporarily and to make massive cuts in the federal budget for the long-term, his tax plan (no tax increases for ANYONE, cut tax rates on corporations), his plan to give seniors tax relief (like taxing their pension withdrawals at the lowest rate and allowing them to suspend withdrawals from iras without penalty)…. but this is getting long. You get the picture.
Of course, he also talks about how his policies differ from his opponent’s and why his opponent’s policies would not be as good as his own. That’s the same thing Obama does; that’s the same thing every good politician does. But even as Obama does the very same thing, as he should, he attacks McCain as if McCain were some fixated creature who does not talk about his own accomplishments and plans. Ridiculous– and the press reports what Obama says without challenge and many in the public absorb it and parrot it back (as evidenced here). Repeating a falsehood at every campaign stop does not transform it into the truth.
Maybe later today I’ll have time to address Obama’s other misconception– that McCain is no different from Bush in his economic plan. I’ve posted on this many times before, however, and the dog needs to go out for our morning constitutional. So stay tuned. *G* As Arnuld would say, “I’ll be back.”

MCCAIN IS WINNING DON’T LET THE MSM FOOL YOU…GET OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICANS!!!……Why has’nt he MSM reported early voting results???…BECAUSE McCAIN IS WINNING THATS WHY….. do you think for a minute if barry was leading the MSM would no be tooting their horn??? VOTE REPUBS

Nice zinger by Obama.
+ McCain = 5th from the bottom
Obama/Biden 08!

AND ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT THAT MCCAIN WAS THE (MUMMY)

The only thing I have heard Obama, say he would do differently than George Bush, is revert to the Jimmy Carter years of spreading misery equally to all. He is going to tax job creators, spend a trillion more on welfare redistribution programs, walk on water, open blind eyes etc.. Like the billions of redistribution programs have worked in the past! In Rev Wright’s words: God bless Barack Obama; I say ……..

It’s so interesting – when I stopped to really think about it I realized how strongly we have been deluding ourselves and how being a Democrat just doesn’t make sense anymore. I’ll give an example and try to keep in mind that when I am making racial generalizations it is because the facts generalize. Such generalizations don’t apply to individuals, but they certainly apply to groups. Take your common immigrant family, say from Asia. Here in the land of opportunity for a relatively short time, and somehow the government gives them all the advantages, and they live in a large house with a 2-car garage and their children go to Harvard? So we should take a portion of their earnings just to redistribute it to those underprivileged who don’t have as much so they can have to. What a bunch of crap. In this typical Asian family, all family members learn English, and Mom WORKS, and so does Dad, and the grandparents, aunts and uncles, if they are able. And some take 2 or 3 jobs to help the others. And the kids deport themselves well at school and come home and study and help around the house because they have been raised with substantive values. And they save and in time they prosper. They don’t lose their sense of cultural identity but they do participate in the broader American community. This typical family doesn’t have to be Asian, but it does contrast with the typical American Democrat family. They complain about their lack of privilege, and hate those with more, and persist in their ignorance, and abandon each other in times of need, and satisfy their own selfish whims, and spend their extra money getting instead of saving, and pin their hopes on lottery tickets and superstar politicos. They have the same opportunities and the same obstacles. They just see their fate as everyone else’s problem to solve. If they all worked together, and worked 2 or 3 jobs when necessary, and saved instead of worrying about keeping up with some random standard, and gained an education, and looked out for each other and their neighbors, and taught substantive values at home, they too would prosper, and enjoy the fruits of American opportunity. They would prosper as Obama has prosper. Then Obama would take a share away, to give it to whom? Those that aren’t willing to do the hard work to get ahead, well, tell me again why they should get ahead on my hard work? Because they hate loudly and with great production values? Hmm. Not so much…

Another myth “Hard work will get you ahead” No, hard work will keep you alive. The wage scale has fallen so far in relation to purchase power that the one income household is forever a thing of the past for a majority. Two, even three workers are needed. For single parents with children it is grim.

Hey Obama, every halloween and everyday of your life you dress up in an empty suit.

It is indeed true that McCain-Palin are scary as hell. Why didn’t the Republicans offer a better, more credible ticket than these 2 losers?
