Obama’s Favorite Number

Obama’s favorite number….hmmm….666…LOL sorry couldn’t resist, I don’t really mean it, but it is funny.

McCain’s favorite number is 72, his age and Palin’s IQ.

Every McCain ad I see on TV is an insult to the viewer`s intelligent and that has a lot to say about the candidate`s judgment.
His choice of VP is even worse given the fact that she knows nothing about domestic and foreign policy and still feels confident about it.
There`s not a single reason why, after running the country to the ground, McCain and his republican party expect us to be stupid enough to reward them with another 4 years.
Heck of a job.

McCain’s favorite number is 72, his age and Palin’s IQ.—————That was pretty funny. Polls dont mean a lot but electorial votes and map do and Obama is clearly winning.

I want a president that is smart, steady, has new ideas and good judgment(Obama) as opposed to McCain who is erratic, lacks judgment and agrees with Bush 90% of the time.

Say Pres. Obama and get used to it.

Obama is the right man at the right time.
McCain = FAIL

Voting has already started in a number of states. Lines are LOOOOOOONG. Be prepared to wait it out, Obama supporters. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a lawn chair, snacks, drinks, a book, music (played softly). No excuses for not showing up. We’ve got to do it this time.
Obama/Biden ’08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain is like a one-legged man in an a**kicking contest. He just cant win.

Too bad Biden said Obama would be hit with be faced with a global crisis in his first six months! :)
And, Biden is in worse shape than McCain!
But, it would be midnight in America if Obama/Biden stole this election! :(
Remember: “Reveille for Radicals” and “Rules for Radicals” by the Marxist Saul Alinsky, Obama’s most favored tutor!
Obama is a socialist in the Marxist vein! This “citizen of the world” a line he took from a Saul Alinsky book, would step over a weakened America on his way to strengthening a global group, like the United Nations, but with real power! :(
Obama always overreaches, and he has his arrogant, lust for power, antenna focused on a world dictator position.

sheeeze.. they LOSE some distance and immediately launch into cumbaya..
PLEASE God.. don’t let a once dignified country be dominated by smurfs..
Oblamer’s goin DOWN. Yes, he can.

Today I voted for Barack Obama and mailed my ballot. It felt great … “just do it”!

To Independant American Woman who posted:
“NEVER put an angel in the same bracket as the evil…”
Didn’t you know that satan comes as an angel of light?

“Today I voted for Barack Obama and mailed my ballot. It felt great … “just do it”!”
I just gagged.

Obama’s favorite number….zero. The number of times he’s voted for the second amendment. McCain’s….50. 50% is about the number of times he’s supported it. This election is going to be real interesting! The press doesn’t have a clue how it’s going to come out. Watch a 3rd party write in win it all! lol! It would serve them right for the 700 billion dollar disrespect of the american people.

A lot of Americans are hard workers and over the last several years seen the standard of life go down. I also read a lot about socialism. All Dems want is the Goverment to work for ordinary Americans as hard as they work for rich Americans. Isnt that the way America should be? Ask any American worker if he or she thinks all should have heath care and a quality education and i think you know the answer. McCain and Palin continue to bring devision to the American people. The robocalls keep hyping on Ayers and trying to convince people that Obama palls around with terrorist. Millions of America will think we have a terrorist in Office if Obama wins and millions will be angry at McCain for the lies and devision if he wins. Not good. McCain says to the lady that called Obama an Arab that Obama is a good and respected family man and yet the next thing you know McCains calls Obama a pal of a terrorist. What McCain should of said was he isnt an Arab, but so what if he was. He isnt a Muslim but so what if he is. By not saying these things he brings devision and Im sorry my friends, but my idea of America is a country where all religions and races are welcome with open hearts and minds and treated with equal respect. Many a Rep likes to use Jesus or being Christian as its base. Let me ask you. If you believe in the Christian belief and in Jesus’s teachings you would also understand that he didnt like the Rich and wealthy and too, tought that all mankind was God’s children and believed in taking care of the less fortunate and hungry. He also tought forgiveness.So some that are claming a Christian base and yet are using devision, racism or slander are going right against what they say they believe in. To knock any person strickly due to race, gender, wealth or religion is about the most unamerican thing one can do. It takes away any since of patriotism or love for this country or its ideas or what this country was founded on. The republican party needs a self test and to reflect on what it really stands for. Remember there are 100 really good reasons to vote this election and one really bad reason not to vote and thats prejuduce. Obama has my vote and i am proud to see Powell come on board.

Obama Praised ‘Searing and Timely’ Book by Ayers
Barack Obama once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by former domestic terrorist William Ayers and was mentioned by name in the book itself.

“I can see the McCain/(Palin aka Idiot)..(wink wink)… groupies patrol is still showing remnants here.”
So go back to the mothership(huffpost & Dailykrud) where you’ll feel more comfortable.

Obama Praised ‘Searing and Timely’ Book by Ayers
Barack Obama once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by former domestic terrorist William Ayers and was mentioned by name in the book itself.
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/20/obama-praised-searing-timely-book-ayers/

Obama, who has downplayed relationship with domestic terrorist William Ayers, gave a glowing endorsement of his book in the Dec. 21, 1997 Chicago Tribune.
Ah yes but he was only 8 years old!

How many people have heard of Ayers before this incident……how many Americans do you think honestly CARES about a 60′s hippie that was trying to blow up the Pentagon (60′s hippies being anti-military….GO FIGURE…geez)…..give it a rest already

mr stephanopolous, why are you still working for abc..go work full -time for obama.
i think you are too much in the obama camp to be writing any thing.. you breathe obama , you cling obama, you hate john mccain..
the feeling is mutual.. we hate your guts too..
Rememeber this , if this country is all messed by Obama, we will hold the likes of you accountable..
if this man wins, this will be the end of America..
obama is here due to media advocacy and you are one of them
i watched you betry the clintons..
they made you everything
yeah, go ahead and hollow- we know the truth.

I am a former democrat and Hillary supporter who voted for McCain/Palin 08!
Obama is the most opaque and inauthentic dude I have ever listened to. He doesn’t have an original thought in his head.
he is very good at repeating talking points and trying out other people’s great lines. When I went to college this was called Plagiarism!
he doesn’t give a hoot about the middle class! He is just copying Hillary’s strategy. He just wants the POTUS power! :(

Sheep

George, is this all you can find to write about? The obama tail-kiising you do is getting old.

I thought that Obama’s favorite number was 57….since he thought there were 57 states in the United tates….
OHHHHH he meant that there are 57 muslim countries and he had visited them all……

Planewizard: try something new for a change – think for yourself instead of believing hook, line & sinker everything Fox reports or Rush tells you.
Who’s the sheep?

ANCHORAGE — Today an Alaska legislator called on the State’s Attorney General to appoint an independent investigator to look into possible criminal witness tampering by McCain-Palin campaign staff in Alaska. Rep. Gara’s call came at the suggestion of the Director of the Alaska State Troopers, [Col. Audie Holloway], who called the potential of witness tampering matter “serious.”

Why would McCain and Palin not do the Letterman and SNL free publicity. Of course she will not do Meet The Press. Wonder Why. I guess she does not have the world view so many of you McCain backers seem to think she has

Obama is as cool as a cucumber.
McCain is a man of passion.
I choose passion EVERY time.
Obama must have a LOT of pent-up rage, poor dude.

Jenny Moat counted not once not twice but twelve times that John Mccain was looking at Sarah Palins butt.Todd don’t you mind?

Go ahead and mean it sam. It’s true. Trust me.

Obama’s real favorite number will be 270 electoral votes! More likely it will be 350 but who’s counting?

Powell is a pansy. He wouldn’t stand up to GWB, and now, he’s just trying to salvage something of a reputation. Flip flopper at best. War criminal at worst.

McCain is finished. The only remaining question is by how many electoral votes Obama is going to crush him by. My bet is by at least 100.

So far i’ve read so many comments but the funniest of all…McCain’s favorite number is 72 his age, so is Palin’s IQ. You guys are very good. I probably have Palin”s IQ. I can’t come up with something that good!

In four years, we will be swimming to Cuba.

Republican possers if you don’t like George why are you here? go to FAUX NEWS and spread your lies where it will be heartily accepted…

Because it’s more fun to act like liberals and go where aren’t wanted and act like spoiled children who didn’t get our way. We have studied you for the last 8 years, and learned our lessons well.

The Mccainiacs are out in full force tonight. They actually believe that by putting their crazy idiocy on this blog it will change peoples minds so they will vote for the old and incompetent team of McCain(old)/Palin(incompetent). It would be hilarious if it wasnt so sad and played out like an old time comedy team. Obama will win this hands down, trust me. The crys of socialism fall upon mute ears, as this country has been socialist leaning for a hundred years. It hasnt destroyed anything. It has made us stronger by integrating many different styles of government, much the same as we are a melting pot of different cultures. Social security is socialism. Welfare is socialism. Public schools is socialism. Have you ever noticed that the same persons who cry that we are turning socialist are the ones who hate different cultures, they say hes muslim, as if muslims are bad. They are against anything they believe is different than them. They are xenophobics. There is no room for such thinking in a multicultural and multipolitically beautiful country like we live in. Lets rise up against the xenophobes! This country is the melting pot in more ways than culture and language. Politically we are also.

“A Kind and Just Parent: Children of the Juvenile Court”
THIS is the book that scares you?
(Guess who’s been reading FAUX’s webpage)
A book about the juvenile court system?
Oh no! I’m frightened. Please, no more about the court systems! It’s just to scanalous.
What morons!

Obama’s favorite number: 270

The Jew media is in the tank for their favorite porch monkey!

Obama = the final triumph of the mud people over Western civilization.

if everyone wants to get cute with mc cain’s number being 72 because of age and palin’s iq , then we all know obama’ number is 666

George must want to be press secretary. Heaven forbid! Can you imagine having to listen to this idiot speaking on behalf of Obama?

Hey George…wipe your chin.

The Europeans will be right when they look down their noses and “tsk, tsk, tsk,,,,,stupid Americans!!”
——————
Just got back from Europe – Greece, Italy, Spain, and Croatia.
Actually, they are amazed that Americans would even consider voting for Ms Alaska and the Republican Party.
Their papers suggest we ask the Queen of England to allow us back into the English empire, since we obviously aren’t smart enough to govern ourselves.
If we are still thinking Pubs will fix this country, they are probably right.

Fairfax is correct. Only extremists believe we will go to an extreme with a government. We can have multiple types of government at the same time, and in fact that is the strongest type of government. Much the same as many types of cultures in America have formed a stronger culture. Europeans have NOT given up on socialism. They embrace socialism in many forms of their governments. They just have given up on extemist socialism. They have come to realize that we can be social, and other forms of government combined to support one another. Extremism of any type is bad.

C’mon ABC, give us the poll breakdown showing the details of the survey. There is much more info. there than these two numbers to explain how the poll was conducted and who participated!!!
Keep it real ABC!!!

Bill, where did you get your information about “people” complaining Obama wasnt able to make a decision. I would like reference sites or collaborating evidence, or else you are completely making this up just to defame him, which is entirely possible.

What a coincidence that this poll came out today, saying that 49 percent of Americans believe Obama is the right person to handle an “unexpected crisis” – the day after Biden warned us all of an impending crisis. Timing is everything.

McCain = Bush
Palin = Cheney

ihavetocallmyselfjohn, Hi there, and thanks for your input. I have to agree with you, if people are so afraid of Ayers or anyone else then why is he considered a great citizen of chicago? Why was he given the opportunity to be a professor, and influence so many young minds if hes such an evil person? The whole thing stinks of people denegrating a man who HAS done wrong in his life, but also HAS changed considerably and made up for it by helping others. We arent responsible for those that we come into contact with, and the things they have done. Only they can be held responsible for their actions.

Why is sarah so ugley? she’s cheny’s daughter

jimbo ???? Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Are you for real??? Man there are some assinine remarks on this blog.

romel what will exterminate you is your self limiting ignorance

The Jew media loves Obama because they hate Christians and want to destroy white America!

His favorite number might be 2008.
Obama/Biden ’08

jimbo ===you and happy days need to get together and make love not war

You uneducated McCain/Palin followers out there..are you going to receive your social security..that is a socialism. Social security is a factor of the socialist doctrine..so I want to encourage you not to receive it and pass it on to us so called socialist..You uneducated McCain/Palin follower fools.

chattway=== are you the ghost of Mccarthy

Biden said today: “Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.” Sometimes this genius (Biden) is not to bright! This is a plug for McCain and his military experience. Joe needs to tape his mouth shut.

Lets do away with social security because social security is a factor of the socialist doctrine..all the idealistic forms of Governing(Communism,socialism,Democracy) each has some good things and bad things..the best form is taking all the good from each system and form a type of governmental system that suits your country. America did that..social security is socialism..you fools who call obama socialist should not accept social security.

omicheal – I am a religious woman and I don’t like all your talk about ghosts. If you upset the dead they will return to seek vengance and trouble you with unquiet thoughts and deeds. Please keep your discussion political and don’t wake the spirits. I don’t need that kind of trouble in my life right now because I don’t have the money to pay or an excorcism or such things because of the bad economy caused by the last two years of Democrats in Congress!!!

Joe the Plumber said on Hanity tonight, “Obama’s tax policies are breading mediocrity”.
He understands that if you tax people too much they will stop working hard. Or they might switch to cash economy. Either way tax revenues go down.
Joe the Plumber gets it, Obama does not.
In the Soviet Union people used to say, “YOU PRETEND YOU PAY, I PRETEND I WORK”, Joe understand, Obama doesn’t

If social security is communist, then it should be stopped. Everyone knows that poor people are poor because they are lazy, stupid and immoral – just like Democrats. Democrats keep people poor and on welfare in exchange for their votes. Democrats don’t want people to help themselves. Democrats want the state to take care of everybody like a bunch of helpless babies. Capitalsim rewards good people with riches and happiness and punishes bad people with poverty. If you are poor it’s because you are a bad person. You should go to church more and God will reward you with richess and happiness like me.

Omichael, thank you! Ofcourse Medicaid is a factor in the socialist doctrine. You McCain/Palin follower fools should not accept medicaid..leave it to us so called socialists in America

right on Joe gets it – tell these communist democrats the truth about their wacky ideas! Capitalism forces people to compete with each other, like wild jungle animals in Africa. It is survival of the fittest, like in evolution and nature. It is a completely natural state of being. Communism is not natural, because there is no competition and everyone gets exactly the same thing. So if you were a lion in Africa and you were weak and ready to die off, communists would sacrifice their share of the meat to keep you living, even though it wasn’t fair to them and you really should die anyway because you were a weak lion. But if all that was left were weak lions, who would kill the wildebeasts and zebras to get the meat in the first place? That’s crazy! Communism makes all the lions weak and then they get pushed around by the gazelles and antelopes. Capitalism is a natural state where lions are strong and eat the weak. That is God’s plan.

Stanley – it’s MEDICARE NOT MEDICAID 9medicaid is like food stamps – WELFARE)

Obama handled the sub prime crisis with silence- no action- nothing. Great leadership from a chairman of a subcommitee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Afganistan who never called a meeting.

If you guys think that a man with 13 cars and 9 houses care about you and what’s going on..you got to be drinking some spiked koolaid. Don’t get carried away with the “MY FRIENDS” talk. McCain is rich and his wife is filthy wealthy. Obama came from humble beginnings and he understands what the middle class and poor are going through..He gets my vote to pulls us out of this mess..not a rich man who is not affected by what going on because of his surpluses..America you need to take that into consideration. There are two kinds of Republicans (those who are really rich and those who pretend to be rich). The pretenders are now on the obama side..because they are feeling the pinch of George Bush’s and the Republican stupid trickle economic theory. Heaven help us all and save us from the Republicans!

>> Obama handled the sub prime crisis with silence- no action- nothing
I suppose you would have rather him run around like a chicken crying the sky is falling and firing off knee-jerk reactionary callings for firing people?
Seems some people are just to ignorant to understand, and some just don’t want to.
Obama/Biden ’08

chattyway – after reading your posts, no person could believe that you are a Christian! No Christian uses hate tactics.

sandy – what does a Communist atheist Democrat like you know about what we Christians believe today. I am sick of being pushed around by communists like you who are always throwing trash on my lawn and stealing my houseplants when I leave them out in the sun. Communists are everywhere in America, commiting crimes and subverting our way of life and I won’t stand for it anymore! That’s why I’m voting for Sarah Palin – she has real experience standing up to all the Russian illegal immigrants and communist infiltrators in Alaska who try to sneak into America through our backdoor! No more Russians! Stop throwing trash on my lawn!

NoObamaPelosiReid combo – “WE CANNOT AFFORD A COUNTRY RUN BY OBAMA, NANCY PELOSI AND HARRY REID.
WITH NO CHECK AND BALANCE …”
The Republicans have run amouk for 8 years WITH NO CHECK AND BALANCE and look what it got us. Really scares you Republicans that another Democrat can get this country back into shape. I swear your peoples’ brains must consist of a boxes of rocks.

chattyway :
Do you have some kind of disorder? This is not real life, just a blog. You need to chill the ______ out. ;-)

This is America. People are standing up to say ENOUGH! Enough of the division. Enough of the extremism. It is as though we are waking from a collective unrestful slumber as we shake off the nightmare of the last eight years. Obama/Biden ‘08

Wow, don’t know where your getting your poll information, but the governor of Missouri says Missouri will vote McCain according to his poll findings despite what some may say. It has been a well established fact thatin the past, whoever wins in Missouri will be the next president. Sorry about that pro- Obamas.. Looks like we are going to get the presidential experience America needs. I am thankful for that.

I think all of you that are voting Obama need to delve into his past and his past experience as senator despite his pretty speeches. Do it for America,it is your duty. Thanks for reading this.

Mary Ann – it is just like you Communist Democrats to call me crazy and question my sanity. First you throw your trash on my lawn and steal my houseplants, then you send brainwaves to the authorities to tell them I’m crazy and send police to my house. But the police ignore my sworn complaints about communist infiltrators and their vandalism, and tell me that I’M the crazy one? And then they drag Dr. Zimmer into it? It’s none of their business and I’m NOT crazy! Obama is the crazy one!

“within the first 6 months of Obama’s Presidency( if he gets elected) he will be forced into handling an international incident since they are going to test him to see what he is made of”.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think that no matter which one of them wins, they will be tested both internationally and at home. These are tough times. I believe, though, that Obama has the thoughtfulness to handle any problem that comes his way. He could not mess any worse than Bush. ;-)

chattyway:
ROTFLMAO!! Stealing your houseplants and sending brainwaves to the authorities!! LOL!! I have heard it all. I like reading your post everynight, you give me such a laugh. ;-). How old are you, 13? 14? 7? LOL!!

I used to respect George Stephanopoulos. After the ABC debate during the Democratic primaries: not so much.

Sandy–Sorry I love this country to much to elect a POTUS that foreign countries feel the need to test. I highly doubt they would feel the need to test McCain.

chattyway – you realy do need to take your meds – you are about as nutty as they come! At least I now know it is a waste of time responding to someone as much of a fruitcake as you are! OMG!

The Republians are really going over the edge. I guess it does help one understand why they are as freakin’ crazy as they are – this just posted.
Republicans going after journalists private lives at new site. They’ve organized themselves into something called mediavetting.com, and are taking on a Bachman-like attack on journalists they perceive as enemies of America.
http://mediavetting.com /
Their plan is called “operation pipe-wrench” and they are seeking a research director. McCarthyism raising its ugly head, again!

Maybe this is what Biden is referring to-Jesse Jackson’s speech in France–”The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where “decades of putting Israel’s interests first” would end.
Jesse Jackson believes that, although “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades” remain strong, they’ll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.”

>> you had better believe there is going
>> to be an International crisis in the
>> first 6 months of Obama’s administration.
Well then I’ll be darn glad Obama is sitting in the White House instead of George “Bring it on” Bush or some guy who would have been kicked out of the Academy if it were not for his father and still managed to graduate 5th from the bottom of his class. Dumb and Dumber anywhere near the button should give anybody the shivers! At least Obama sits on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, so he already has a heads up even more so than McCain on anything going on!
Oh, you might want to read this congressional testimony:
http://www.rand.org/pubs/testimonies/CT314/index.html

DO you know why Obama handled the sub prime crisis with silence- no action- nothing? Because he is too close the people who caused the problem. That’s why he said nothing. His goal is to elect president and he won’t do anything to clean up the bad guys in the government. He is a nice guy everyone likes. Bush is not very good and we are the people and we are the solution for our economy. The president and politicians are not. Economy 101, free market is the way to go and government control market is not good, just look at around the world. Everyone wants a pieces of US, if government continue to have debt, other country will buy us. Sold out American!

chattyway – sorry to disagree – you are a nut case – plain and simple. I would think the Republicans on this site would like to give you a swift kick in the behind!

Real Clear Politics
Obama/Biden 286
259 Solid 27 Leaning
McCain/Palin 155
137 Solid 18 Leaning
================================
Yes, THAT’S 259 SOLID!
Just add VA (where I live) and say hello to PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!

Everyone yes has a right to speak after all this is America, but McCain/Palin don’t like it when some people don’t agree with them…and of course their followers. I have the right to vote for Obama, just like you that want McCain/Palin. That’s suppose to be the American way. Just because we don’t agree doesn’t mean we are not Americans.
Stop the Hate….because things aren’t going the way you want. I wasn’t hateful
when Bush got in. I didn’t vote for him, but I paid my taxes just like everyone else. The way people talk about the poor not paying their taxes, being lazy, dumb, etc..etc. you talk about “God’s plan” I hope you are in his plan. Stop the hate….It’s really sick. I don’t think that’s God Plan to hate other Americans…..

With just over two weeks left before the presidential election, voters in the key state of Ohio are giving the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden a 9-point lead (51 percent-42 percent) over the Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin, according to a poll released today by Suffolk University.
In 2008, Suffolk University bellwethers were 95 percent accurate in predicting straight-up winners in both Democratic and Republican primaries, and, when coupled with statewide Suffolk polls, were 100 percent accurate in predicting straight-up winners.

JOKE – actually, its because neither Obama OR McCain were on any of the relevant banking or fiscal regulatory committees in the Senate. Which is why McCain looked like such a fool when he suspended his failing campaign to rush off to Washington and Obama looked cool and level-headed. Duh.

If “free market is the way to go” and “government regulation is not good” then how come the government just had to step in to bail out the free market when the free market couldn’t save itself? LOL

Economy 101, free market is the way to go and government control market is not good, just look at around the world.
==========================
I did, the countries with the highest aggregate standards of living (where we only rank 12th) ALL have forms of government control in their economy.
Sorry, your theory has actually been proven false from a socio-economic standpoint.
AND, since you must only be in the first few chapters of Econ 101, you will learn later in the book that the US is NOT a free market economy – never has been, never wiil be.
We already have many government controls and regulations on our economy. (One of the many reasons the top 5% have DOUBLED their holdings while the middle class wages and savings have gone down over the past eight years.)The bailout? What do you think that is exactly? McCain’s $300 Billion in tax dollars to buy out bank debts? Take a guess what that is.
Now once you get done with Econ 101, you may realize that straight Keynsian Economics does not factor in the social implications of a pure market economy.
It is based on the pricipal of FAIR competition. NOT a system where the rules have been made to favor a specific group – like the wealthy.
I could go on, but I’ll let you finish your book first. Wouldn’t want to give you too much to think about at one time.

>> McCain draws 15 (yes FIFTEEN) supporters in Columbia, MO
Too funny.. and then had a BBQ rally that had a whole 150 people show up, and some were Obama supporters.
Oh, sandy, your link was messed up.. so here is one that should work:
http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2008/10/20/mccain-convenes-bbq-business-meeting/

MooseBrain – thanks – sorry about that -copied link directly from site but must have goofed up. Thanks, again! But funny article just the same – right? 15 supporters – what a riot – and over the weekend Senator Obama drew 175,000!!!

>> Rasmussen poll has the battleground states very close
Yes indeed.. and they show the total ‘strong’ state electoral votes as Obama 264, McCain 137.. hmmm.. not looking good.
The only flat out tie last week was NC, which has now shifted blue.. and the only other close state is OH, with Obama ahead by a point. In all others, Obama leads by 4 points or more, even in FL, where former supporter Gov. Crist has decided to distance himself from McCain, even though he campaigned for him in the primaries.
http://www.electoral-vote.com/
But like always, we are still waiting for the fat lady to sing.. which is why we are still doing our best converting those uninformed McCain voters to the blue side.. right down to the end.

His favorite letters are ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and CNN and DNC. All working together sharing talking points (opps did someone see?) strategies, former and current Dem. operatives. Making sure negative stories like Odinga, New Party, vote fraud in primaries, plus a dozen more scandals, lies and fraud are hidden. But Joe the Plummer owes $1200 in back taxes!

Republicans give talking points for this week – this is about as DUMB as it gets! Tinfoil crap GOP trying to launch:
Secret Michelle Obama tapes with Odinga being held hostage by a Kenyan national until a major network offers to pay, air it in full and refuses to license it to anyone else…
Bill Clinton will be endorsing McCain…
Ayers secretly babysat Obama’s kids (to go national and cause MAJOR DAMAGE this week)…
A former PLO member turned Christian convert saying Obama said he’s really Muslim…
Powell’s a closet Muslim and will be changing his name soon…
Honest…how STUPID are the Republicans trying to be? :) Or, better yet – how stupid are they?

Obama/ACORN/AYERS—-”Which brings us to Mr. Obama, who got his start as a Chicago “community organizer” at Acorn’s side. In 1992 he led voter registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included Acorn. This past November, he lauded Acorn’s leaders for being “smack dab in the middle” of that effort. Mr. Obama also served as a lawyer for Acorn in 1995, in a case against Illinois to increase access to the polls.
During his tenure on the board of Chicago’s Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to Acorn. More recently, the Obama campaign paid $832,000 to an Acorn affiliate. The campaign initially told the Federal Election Commission this money was for “staging, sound, lighting.” It later admitted the cash was to get out the vote.

Come on amazed801.. can’t do any better than that? Old news man.. can’t find any new dirt to use as a character attack? Want me to pull up some McCain character attacks that would make the above pale in comparison? We could throw mud all day, and I guarantee you, McCain would get a lot dirtier since he’s been in the thick of it for much longer.
How about explaining how McCains trickle down taxation plan is supposed to work? And maybe address why it hasn’t since it was first coined by Hoover back in the 20′s.

>> “Obama wants to take money from working
>> people and give it to those that don’t
>> pay income tax. ”
Gee, we been doing that forever.. why haven’t you complained before now?
Still waiting for an explanation on how McCains trickle down plan is going to work this time given it has never worked in the past..

Actually have been pretty effective at it.. first time voters who are clueless.. voting based on such silly things as ‘their parents were republicans’ or ‘he was a POW’. Once shown each candidates education, position on the issues and where those will take the country, I’ve had resounding success getting them to make the right choice for America and cast their votes for Obama. Of course, these are intelligent open-minded people who just want to do what is best for their future. Pretty easy choice really.

George, you need to get your head out of obama’s hindquarters. You are getting to be sick sounding with all of your Obama worship.

An interesting read should you choose to do so:
You want to know the people directly involved in the housing meltdown?
Read the article…
This is for all the narrow minded people called Republicans, I’m just curious how you’ll spin this one….
that is if you have the stones to put up a response to the article.

AP IMPACT: Mortgage firm arranged stealth campaign
WASHINGTON – Freddie Mac secretly paid a Republican consulting firm $2 million to kill legislation that would have regulated and trimmed the mortgage finance giant and its sister company, Fannie Mae, three years before the government took control to prevent their collapse.
In the cross hairs of the campaign carried out by DCI of Washington were Republican senators and a regulatory overhaul bill sponsored by Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. DCI’s chief executive is Doug Goodyear, whom John McCain’s campaign later hired to manage the GOP convention in September.
Freddie Mac’s payments to DCI began shortly after the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee sent Hagel’s bill to the then GOP-run Senate on July 28, 2005. All GOP members of the committee supported it; all Democrats opposed it.

AMERICA DOES NOT TAKE THE HARD EARNED MONEY OF THOSE WHO WORK AND GIVE IT TO THOSE WHO DONT. …

OnAnotherPlanetDear….
Did I read this right – someone said the Republicans have run this country for the last 8 years with no checks and balances?
Which America were you in, dear ?
The last time I checked, the American Congress was headed by THE INCOMPETENT PELOSI AND HARRY REID … meaning Congress was under the Democrats for the last 2 years ..
Someone must have been on a different planet, uh …
MooseBrain…
Yup.. and since he has been in office, Bush has vetoed 11 bills that came across his desk. Only one of those was back when the Republicans controlled congress.
You can only do so much when you have a numnut in office.
OnAnotherPlanetDear….
I see that you haven’t answered / responded to MooseBrain. Typical, you dim-witted right wing twits, is that all you can do? BLAME others for the Republicans continued F$*K-UPs?
Interesting to see you respond to my previous post and the link within it,
please let the SPINNING begin

>> I guess you only listen to McCain’s sound bites
which unfortunately they do.. and one sound bite you won’t hear from McCain is that he will be taking from the middle class and giving to the wealthy. By giving the wealthy the largest tax breaks, he shifts the tax burden further down to the middle and low class Americans who can least afford it, particularly now. But you will never hear him tell you that, even while tooling around in his (no-so)Straight Talk Express.

>> THAT IS A NO BRAINER … I WILL VOTE FOR HIM … WHY NOT .
Umm, maybe because you have a moral obligation as a citizen of this country to not condone illegal activity.. if not to others, then at least to yourself..
PS: Your analogy is seriously flawed.

Obama’s favorite number :
11.04.2008 !!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!
Welcome President Obama !!!

hansi, easy the bill did not pass because the demmies fought it tooth and nail……………so DCI had to target 17 Republican Senators to go along with all the slimey dems. Of these 17 targeted senators, only 6 sold their souls. 6 Republicans and all of the dems screwed us. Who do I primarily blame the dems….although when SC Graham goes up for election, I will be voting against his sorry butt too.
Eight of the targeted senators did sign it: Sens. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Jim Bunning of Kentucky, Larry Craig of Idaho, John Ensign of Nevada, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, George Voinovich of Ohio and David Vitter of Louisiana. Santorum, Crapo and Bunning were on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee and had voted in favor of sending the bill to the full Senate

George knows Obama so well. The real question is whether George will continue to work for Obama at ABC or segue to O’s press secretary. Either way he will continue his unbiased reporting according to ABC.

To show how historic this election is, consider the Chicago Tribune. It has endorsed and backs Obama. Most will say, “big deal, it’s Chicago, Obamas home state”. Well, consider this, the Chicago Tribune has never, in it’s 136 year history, endorsed a democratic presidential candidate.. never. It’s original leader was one of the founders of the GOP, and the paper has throughout the last 136 years endorsed conservative republican candidates, and even endorsed McCain in the primaries. All should be proud to be a part of what will indeed go down in history as one of our most shining moments.

Why is it that so many posters are so fixated on Obama’s relationship with Ayers, yet lay no responsibility at the feet of McCain for his complicity in the Keating 5 scandal?
I think it’s because in the absence of something truly worth pinning on Senator Obama, a fairy tale stretch of the facts is better than nothing.

“If social security is communist, then it should be stopped. Everyone knows that poor people are poor because they are lazy, stupid and immoral”
Then why do millions of folks go to church every Sunday and pray to that homeless guy?

Anybody catch the news about the voter registration organization in California?Seems they were changing everyones party preference to republican. The guy running the whole show? He is in jail because of registering more than once. What a hoot!

how PATHETIC the Democrat media is. They won’t ask Obama why he hasn’t given his personal school records. They don’t mention the INFANTICIDE VOTE (Obama lied about why he voted for it). It DID allow doctors to let babies die (refuse medical care) because the mother wanted it aborted while still in the birth canal. Late term abortion is okay with Obama. In his view, babies are a “burden” if they are not wanted. HEY ABC, WILL YOU ASK OBAMA ABOUT THE GHOSTWRITERS NAME FOR OBAMA’S BOOK “DREAMS…” SINCE MOST LITERARY EXPERTS HAVE DETERMINED THE THE SCORE FOR SIMILARITIES IS 58.5 and 58 (out of a scale of 120)! There is NO WAY A REAL JOURNALIST WOULD LET THIS GO!!

The root of ignorance is ignore. Ignore means “not paying attention”. When you ignore the facts or knowledge or a person’s presence you act as though they don’t exist. Ignorance is not the absence of knowledge—it is ignoring it. Wisdom is knowing how to use knowledge, it is not the same thing as having knowledge. Wisdom is more like what we call “common sense”.

ABC is reporting that Joe Biden is warning now of an international crisis. The world, multiple nations, will test Obama just as JFK was tested the first six months of his administration. Biden is guaranteeing trouble under Obama. Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.” I thought the election of Obama was going to make the world love us again. I thought we’re going to repair this busted image that we have all around the world, and the moment Obama is elected. So with Obama we’re going to get higher taxes, we’re going to get new attacks on our country. Biden says the world is going to test Obama. What’s it going to be, China taking Taiwan? China taking North Korea? Russia taking over a bordering country or two? Israel being wiped off the map? All the above? What is it? Biden’s guaranteeing something like this. He says it’s a fair price for electing an inexperienced squirrel who wants ACORN to run our elections and can’t wait to surrender in Iraq. Now we know why Biden said that “Obama is not qualified to be president” in the debates. Said ” he would rather be on McCain’s side.” But pansy Obama who wants to “sit down and talk” they know they can test him and win.

Funny, every ad I see by Obama is basically a plain flat out lie. He can’t tell you the truth. He won’t say one way or the other how he stands on abortion, that would be telling the truth. He won’t say he’s against guns, that would be telling the truth. He won’t come out say his healthcare plan is a National Healthcare program…that would be telling the truth. He won’t tell you that after he gets in office he is going to have to change his plans and tax everybody, that would be telling you the truth. We all know what he stands for, the same crap the Dimcrats have been pushing for the last 50 years. He’s nothing other than a far right extremist. Vote for Obama and vote for socialism, simple as that. Sell your country down the drain some more. And people buy into that.

I think the foreign countries are going to make a good joke and have a good laugh, same as they did with Clinton on this election. We give the keys to the Whitehouse to a person that has a Muslim background, has no record of getting anything accomplished, nobody has heard of him until a couple of years ago, has associated himself with shady people most of his life and has never run anything that has had a budget to it, but he’s a charismatic speaker with no substance. What a joke! On top of that promises a “pie in the sky for everybody” except that 5% at the top and our budget is so loaded with debt were basically bankrupt. 45% of the low income Americans don’t pay any taxes in and get a “low income tax credit check” of $4,500 a year and Obama is going to give them more yet. Wants to increase “foreign aid”, “food stamps”, “healthcare” “education” and “medicare”, but do that all with no tax increase. That’s a good laugh for anybody. So much for the stupid “Americans”. Are Americans really that stupid? I hear that sucking sound again that Ross Perot was talking about.

Until you get “FAIR” trade that McCain wants, this country is going to continue to sink to the bottom. Obama has not said a thing about “FAIR” trade. Fair trade would offset the cheap imports that are killing the jobs here. We can’t compete without “fair trade” and only McCain has a plan for “fair trade”. We buy everything imported and now have to borrow the same money back to keep our country going…how stupid is that. Obama’s socialist policy is not going to bring anything back. Keep taxing business more your going to see less.

claims to be a Christian but isses the fact that as a Christian one must belive that Jesus is the only way.
=====================================
YOU CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN? JESUS DIDNT HATE…WHEN I READ THE CATHOLIC BIBLE (AKA THE REAL ONE) I LEARNED THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE ONES WHO KILLED HIM BECAUSE OF YOUR IGNORANCE, GREED, POWER HUNGER AND JEALOUSLY.

Interesting. Just said on the news that 40% of the early votes have been found to be fraudulent. Looks like ACORN is hard at work.

Becky–I had a typo in my previous post isses=misses. I don’t hate I just don’t trust Obama. I am a Christian and would like to believe that Obama is also a Christian but his rhetoric does not always back him up. He is very pro-choice, has stated that he thinks that other religions will get to heaven also. If Obama gets elected I will continue t pray for this nation and for Obama. Should he become president I would like nothing better than to have to admit I was wrong. Better I am wrong that you if he gets elected. Have a wonderful day and may God Bless.

So they’ve got you thinking they’re going to go for the super rich. They’re going to go for everybody. They’re going to go for the achievers. And, by the way, they’re even going to go for people who dream of achieving, and that was Joe’s great sin. Joe the Plumber’s great sin was having a dream to improve his life. They have to go destroy this guy. They will not research any of Obama’s relationships or any of his alliances. They will cover them up. But they will go out and they will destroy an average citizen. What happened here? It took a plumber to flush out Obama’s true economic philosophy. It took a plumber to illustrate to America that Obama’s ideas do not hold water. More than that, it took a plumber to open the damn of resentment that has been under the surface for decades toward the media.

Not according to Joe Biden, he thinks the world will view Obama as young and new and test him with an international crisis.

Anyone who votes for Obama are complete fools. You’ll see if he becomes the president (by stealing it) – let’s see which country attacks the USA next. The militants are watching – they think Obama is weak – why do you think they want him as president?
Even Biden thinks he’s not ready…he’s said it in the Primaries – and just again yesterday.
You will all see just how good George Bush was in keeping us safe all this time…you’re all fools.

“However, even when the problem may be caused by something else, like too much EZ-credit, a significant tax cut is an effective way to deal with the problem. Indeed, I might even say that it is the only effective, positive thing a government can do. As you might have gathered from reading this far, neither changes in spending nor changes in regulation tend to alter the course of economic developments very much, unless there are really egregious problems in those areas. George W. Bush, though much loathed (here too) for many other things, nevertheless had the right idea when he cut taxes in 2003.
I hear that China’s government is planning some tax cuts in response to its recent slowdown.”

I have always considered the Republican Party as more in line with my fundamental beliefs.
Until now.
The idea of Sarah Palin in the White House scares me to pieces. How John McCain can say “Country First” and yet select this person is beyond me.
In is first major decision, McCain gave us a person utterly unqualified, and I believe, potentially dangerous.

You stick a pansy in the office this is what you get.

JR – I’m an Idependent and don’t like what I hear from Obama supporters and the news media.

Besides attacking, what else McCain/Palin can do and say?????

This and other similar articles/comments, have given me enough cause, as an American Citizen, to be extremely concerned and angered because, they have made me question whether or not our MSM has been biased (fair and balanced) in their coverage of the Iraq War, our current economic crisis and, more importantly, this and other Presidential elections.
My concerns are three-fold and are based on the following:
1) after taking the time to conduct my own investigation and/or research to confirm the substance of these articles that, on the surface, may be considered, by some, that seem to have their own hidden agendas, to be outrages and un-true, as a means of educating myself prior to casting my vote for our next President, which I have always taken very seriously as an American Citizen. I have discovered that the substance of some of these articles, along with some of their public comments, have turned out to be true, which leads me to believe that they were either, not aggressively researched/investigated and/or purposely kept from the American public by our MSM, as a means of slanting the Iraq War, our economic crisis, and this and prior elections;
2) most Americans either don’t take the time or don’t have the time and/or resources to conduct their own research to educate themselves prior to this and other elections and are, thereby, forced to rely solely on the integrity of our MSM to do it for them, not knowing that what they get from our MSM may be false and/or biased; and,
3) if my concerns have MERIT, it leads me and, more than likely, other Americans, along with individuals from other nations around the world, who are closely watching the Iraq War, our economic crisis and our Historic Presidential election, to QUESTION our, supposedly, unbiased (fair and balanced) democratic election process. A process that our country has historically been preaching and aggressively assisting other nations (e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) to adopt, at any cost.

Those who do not take the time to learn, to vet their sources, deserve what they get. We are only at the mercy of the mainstream media, or the fringe elements for that matter, if we allow them to do our thinking for us.

CW./oct. 20-2008. Has put out a lot of good information and I agree with him or her. There is only a few things I would like to add to it. Obama is not a Socialist or a marxist. A lot of the things he wants to put in are what presidnet Rosevealt put in when he took over as the Dem. president. Rosevealt came in, in the depression, and the things he put in pulled us out of it,people worked for the WPA and didn’t go hungrey. That was gov. funded. Look up what he did. As for W.Agers, Obama was only 8 or 10 when he did his thing. and the contact he had with him after grown up was working on a commitee for housing for the poor. There were several people on that comitee.I can remember a lot of people agains the V.N. war. yes he carried it too far, but so did a lot of people. He has done good since then so how about dropping that. Now Bush has offered Iraq a agreement that they don’t want and he offered to put our military under the control of the Iraq that is bad they also want us out of their country. So if they feel they can take care of their country then we should get out, stop sending money over there to rebuild them. They have more money that we do. Now Acorn, that is rediculose.First of all it is registrations, Acorn puts them in three piles one good and can be verified, second one possibable are good, but haven’t been able to contact the people , some of them have moved ,the third one is no good, it is false information and wrong drivers linces and SS numbers don’t match. By law they cannot just send in the ones that they know is good have to send in all of them even the mickey mouse one. They label them as good ,possible and no good. so how in the world can they be held guilty of miss information or registration frud. Powell is a very respected man and because he has gone for Obama they are throwing mudd at him where before they were saying how good he was. He served in the service, has been on military boards, worked for peace with other countrys. Is a very good man.He works for the United States of America.Read what he said as to why he did go to Obama. The republicans are tossing untruths out . I have gotten mail from them that just plain isn’t true. Obama, is for the service people and Vets. One of the mails is on how bad he is for vets. but have read blogs from vets and how he has worked for them. The other thing that makes me very angry is not letting the military in Iraw vote. Why not? they are putting their life on th line and have the right to vote.Palin just shows the bad judgement, McCain has, maybe it is his age, I don’t know but to put someone as VP and not vetting them only talked to her for 2 hours before doing it.Look up the Alaska pipe line on the computer, they have all the records there. She went to fight the oil companys, what for money, for sure not the maintance of the pipe line. it has had a lot of leaks into the tundra , causing damage to it and mealting the ice and snow. As gov. she should have known it had these leaks and find out why. the pipeline tells of the poor to no maintance on the pipeline. But she didn’t do anything about that. The money she got from them should have gone to maintain the pipeline, or make them do it. Bad choice. She also was found to have abused the power of her office and let her or had her husband from her office make phone calls concerning political things. Will she also have him in the vice president office if got in. McCain is irascrible and vey tempermental. watch his standce and facial expressions. in the last debate, his eyes kept moving, lips drawn tight,leaning forwards. shows anger. Palin doesn’t know her b== from a hole in the grown. She mouths what the republican party gives her to say.Do you want her for a president. which is likly, as of McCains age and his bouts with a very agressive cance I believe it is 4 times. It just isn’t a skin cancer it goes into the body. So she would be a heart beat away from being president. I think not. She left the mall town she was mayor of in debt, and they didn’t have any when she took over the town. Youll find that in the Ancrage Daily News. She is not truthful.
I have voted republican for years but for sure will vote for Obama now.

“I wish the candidate would discuss global poverty more. According to The Borgen Project:
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$540 billion: Annual U.S. Defense Budget.”

The democrats are so certain of victory that Barney Frank has come out publicly on how the new tax proposals will punish the high incomes and redistribute the wealth. Without question there will be no stopping any legislation proposed with the existing congress and senate.
Look for:
Elimination of the home intrest morgage deduction. It will be based on total asset value i.e. 401K, equity in home values and anything connected with a social security number. Gross income will be a small part. Those who have little or no assets take a free ride. Those of us who played it straight will be taxed to death. Democratic “5 year Plan” sound familiar? Socialism at it’s finest. DO NOT VOTE DEMOCRATIC, with a double democratic adminstration and congress, it’s more than dangerous,
in light of the fact that there is a blind hatred and get even attitude towards those of us who do not share thier total liberalism and social reform

McCain and Palin are just giving out junk food and some people are eating it up. Joe the Plumber, Obama=Socialist, Obama+Ayers=Terrorist. None of that stuff is of any real concern to people who losing their jobs, homes and healthcare. McCain does not care about Joe, so why is his campaign throwing Joe down peoples throats? I guess so people forget the real issues that are going on in America and in their lives. How can you forget, when you ride by subdivisions that have nothing but empty houses in them, when people in GA were driving miles just to get gas a few weeks back and then waiting hours just to get half a tank, when Americans are losing jobs, when the cost of feeding ourselves is growing, when healthcare companies will dump sick patients because they do not want to pay the healthcare cost. We have REAL problems and Joe is not it. McCain needs to GET A MESSAGE or get off the stage.

Under Obama’s tax plan working Middle class benefits. Key words is Working Middle Class. Under McCain’s tax plan only the very wealthy benefit. Working middle class Americans continue to flip the bill so McCain can keep up with Bush plans for bail out companies and continue with the government Financial incentives for companies to continue with outsourcing American jobs.

Mere “Under Obama’s tax plan working Middle class benefits. Key words is Working Middle Class. Under McCain’s tax plan only the very wealthy benefit. Working middle class Americans continue to flip the bill so McCain can keep up with Bush plans for bail out companies and continue with the government Financial incentives for companies to continue with outsourcing American jobs.”
Your comments are simply untrue – I’m not sure why you feel it’s necessary to lie to try and make your point. Why not just use facts. I suggest a visit to the Tax Policy Center website … http://www.taxpolicycenter.org.
Did you not benefit from Bush’s tax cuts? Because every taxpayer in America did – not just the wealthy. Under Bush’s tax cuts, millions of low-income working Americans had their taxes reduced to zero – meaning they pay no tax. Bush lowered taxes for everyone to the lowest point since 1991. That’s a fact whether you like it or not.
McCain’s plan takes it further with additional tax credits for health insurance and dependent credits – that will reduce tax liability for millions of working middle class Americans. Yes, the wealthy benefit too, but before you jump on that bandwagon, take a look at the statistics of how much the top 5 percent of wage earners give to charity. and take a look at how much the top 5 percent of wage earners already pay in taxes. Why should their taxes be increased so that millions more can have their taxes reduced to less then zero?
It’s one thing to not like McCain – but to simply lie about his tax plan in the hopes of swaying a few votes is just plain wrong and makes you look …. rather stupid and uninformed.

mere – When Palin and McCain said “welfare” in their stump speeches, they were referring to the tax credit check exempt taxpayers would receive under the Obama plan. They were not talking about Unemployment Insurance or Social Security – two very different programs. McCain has called for extensions on unemployment payments and has suggested that rather then having people pay into Social Security (which will be bankrupt in 15 years) that people instead put their money in something safe, like T-bills, so that they won’t need this government program when they retire.

This is my first time reading these blogs and all I can comment on for sure this that someone needs to get some mental health care for chattyway!!!
Obama/Biden 08

9michael99 – I’m not sure where you’re going with your comment, but since you brought up homelessness, I thought I’d point out that homelessness continued its downward decline from 2005 – 2007 – the number of homeless in America declined 15 percent. Visit http://www.ich.gov if you want more info on homelessness stats. Not everyone who had their home foreclosed on went homeless – many found suitable homes in the thriving rental market.

And again, there is one real chattyway and one fake one–the Obamabots are psycho and once pist they harass people.

Whats great is people are WILLING to work for free for My Campaign although they are employed.
I cant say the same for my opponent who has to pay staff instead of advertising.
-Obiden….

If you love America, vote for Obama! He’ll direct America to more prosper and respected abroad. McCain is one of the most honored men in the nation for all his great services but his agendas will trap America and we don’t need that. You can even tell how he is running his campaign- each day brings different theme (agenda)! Stop drama!
Obama08

Family First- No attacks today! My thoughts and prayers are with Obama’s family. I hope his grandma pulls through.

Obama reminds me of those couple of Soprano episodes, where Tony and his boys teamed up with a selectmen and a “community organizer” and Tony essentially, bought out their souls! They all made money in the deal, except for the poor people that were suppose to be helped in the process.
Forgive me for drawing the parallels, but Obama & Ayers just remind of that. A lot of money earmarked for good, that went elsewhere!
Who knows, maybe the Soprano’s is prophetic in a way…..a pathetic way.
Lets hope not cuz the community organizer will probable be the next POTUS

The courts have decided to let the lawsuit questioning where Obama was born go forward. Apparently,they are annoyed because all Obama would have to do is give them a “vault copy” of his birth certificate and he hasn’t done so. The lawsuit started in August so one has to question why he doesn’t just give them a “vault copy”?? What is he hiding?

Some of you need to go to fact check and independent organization that tells on both canidatesObama plan save middle class much more than Mccains plan does it is not untill you reach the higher income levels tha you see ant increase in what they will have to pay.And I have to say I hope all seniors will vote for Obama if only because the republicans have been callig us names and welfare people because we are on S.S.,which I know I worked and paid into for over 45 years I watch the post on all the different blogs and the hate is astounding. I am with Obama-Biden 2008 in wishing Obamas grandmother well. My prayers go out to her and her family and I wish them well

This is the current tax liability policy–
“First of all, we wanted to know how many people don’t pay federal taxes because they qualify for enough credits or exemptions that they don’t owe any taxes. Common credits include the earned income tax credit for low-wage workers, the child tax credit, education credits, and credits for child care expenses. Common deductions include medical and dental expenses, mortgage interest, charitable contributions, educational expenses and business expenses.
Many credits are refundable, which means the government sends a check if the taxes owed are less than zero. Deductions generally reduce taxes owed to zero, with no check sent if the tax bill is less than zero.
We consulted the nonpartisan experts at the Tax Policy Center. They said that the percentage of tax filers with zero or negative individual income tax liability will be 38 percent in 2009.”

I wish tomorrow was Nov. 4th so that I could Vote for Obama/Biden and get this election over so that America can start to recover from the Republican Nightmare that we have lived for the last eight years!!!! Repulicans are going down down down; America is very tired of the lies and deceit!!! Never again will I ever vote for a REPUBLICAN; they can NOT be TRUSTED! An old man and an ignorant woman do not make for “Presidential” material. Obama/Biden 08′!

So much the Messiah being the great unifier.

And here’s more from Sowell…if you’re not afraid to read something that is not from the mainstream media or Fox News:
Telling a friend that the love of his life is a phony and dangerous is not likely to get him to change his mind. But it may cost you a friend.
It is much the same story with true believers in Barack Obama. They have made up their minds and not only don’t want to be confused by the facts, they resent being told the facts.
An e-mail from a reader mentioned trying to tell his sister why he was voting against Obama but, when he tried to argue some facts, she cut him short: “You don’t like him and I do!” she said. End of discussion.
When one thinks of all the men who have put their lives on the line in battle to defend and preserve this country, it is especially painful to think that there are people living in the safety and comfort of civilian life who cannot be bothered to find out the facts about candidates before voting to put the fate of this nation, and of generations yet to come, in the hands of someone chosen because they like his words or style.
Of the four people running for President and Vice President on the Republican and Democratic tickets, the one we know the least about is the one leading in the polls— Barack Obama.
Some of Senator Obama’s most fervent supporters could not tell you what he has actually done on such issues as crime, education, or financial institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, much less what he plans to do to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear nation supplying nuclear weapons to the international terrorist networks that it has supplied with other weapons.
The magic word “change” makes specifics unnecessary. If things are going bad, some think that what is needed is blank-check “change.”
But history shows any number of countries in crises worse than ours, where “change” turned problems into catastrophes.
In czarist Russia, for example, the economy was worse than ours is today and the First World War was going far worse for the Russians than anything we have faced in Iraq. Moreover, Russians had nothing like the rights of Americans today.
So they went for “change.”
That “change” brought on a totalitarian regime that made the czars’ despotism look like child’s play. The Communists killed more people in one year than the czars killed in more than 90 years, not counting the millions who died in a government-created famine in the 1930s.
Other despotic regimes in China, Cuba, and Iran were similarly replaced by people who promised “change” that turned out to be even worse than what went before.
Yet many today seem to assume that if things are bad, “change” will make them better. Specifics don’t interest them nearly as much as inspiring rhetoric and a confident style. But many 20th century leaders with inspiring rhetoric and great self-confidence led their followers or their countries into utter disasters.
These ranged from Jim Jones who led hundreds to their deaths in Jonestown to Hitler and Mao who led millions to their deaths.
What specifics do we know about Barack Obama’s track record that might give us some clue as to what kinds of “changes” to expect if he is elected?
We know that he opposed the practice of putting violent young felons on trial as adults. We know that he was against a law forbidding physicians to kill a baby that was born alive despite an attempt to abort it.
We know that Obama opposed attempts to put stricter regulations on Fannie Mae— and that he was the second largest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae. We know that this very year his campaign sought the advice of disgraced former Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines.
Fannie Mae and Raines were at the heart of “the mess in Washington” that Barack Obama claims he is going to clean up under the banner of “change.”
The public has been told very little about what this man with the wonderful rhetoric has actually done. What we know is enough to make us wonder about what we don’t know. Or it ought to. For the true believers— which includes many in the media— it is just a question of whether you like him or not.

Stanley your remarks are moronic.
First Social Security people pay this from their payroll tax to the system.
Welfare is a check for doing nothing, sitting on your a**.

Socialism? The banks and AIG insurance giant have been nationalized under the Bush REPUBLICAN administration. Pul-lease. The free market, anything goes for the rich fat cats on Wall Street mentality have brought a world wide depression and bank failures. WAKE UP.
We can not afford any more of this disasterous economic policy. The Iraq war is costing $10 BILLION a month.
And, we are getting what for it? Dead soldiers? Wounded young men and women who face a depression back home???
We are in terrible trouble and we need leadership.
