A profile in political courage this is not. Given his recent gaffe on redistributionism, though, it’s probably smart. ABC’s Jake Tapper tried to get Obama to talk about his plans for the economic rescue plan, but Obama refused:
JT: What would you tell your Treasury Secretary to do differently with the $700 billion?
Obama: We’re on a tarmac.
JT: Why don’t you have a press conference?
BO: I will. On Wednesday.
Remember when the media screeched over Sarah Palin’s lack of press availability after the convention? Neither Obama nor Joe Biden have taken questions from the press in weeks. If Palin’s fortnight of preparation somehow revealed her unreadiness for higher office, what does this say about Barack Obama?

eh, whatever, it’s just one vote anyways, no one is going to miss it. If it rains, I’m not going to be stupid and get in a line just to vote. that’s just stupid.

puff the magic dragon lived by the sea…
and the oceans will part and little blue angels will dance in the clouds. and the sun will smile and star dust will be sprinkled on our shoulders. and a magic wand will appear in our hand and the problems of the world will disappear. and their will be no more famine, war, or pain only love…la la la…

America can not afford a Marxist to throw it all away for all of us. Obama would like to not only bankrupt Coal industry, and electricity, but also many many more diligent business owners like Joe the plumber. It is way too dangerous to have someone not vetted to get into the White House by his, in my opinion, not that great speeches. “A ideological…” should have been “An ideological…” Obama makes mistakes in speeches that high school students do not make. I can overlook that if a president make a few English mistakes. but it’s a shame that SPEECHES are the only thing that Obama’s got. He can not be America’s president. He will ruin this country. I am making sure to vote for McCain/Palin on Tuesday. And I will not take the day off as Obama so disrespectfully suggested. He wants all businesses and their owners to suffer…think about who will pay his heavy taxes for the government to hand out social welfare checks!

The Last One:
The final Gallup 2008 pre-election poll — based on Oct. 31-Nov. 2 Gallup Poll Daily tracking — shows Barack Obama with a 53% to 42% advantage over John McCain among likely voters. When undecided voters are allocated proportionately to the two candidates to better approximate the actual vote, the estimate becomes 55% for Obama to 44% for McCain.

“just vote”, I am sorry but the poll is like Acorn’s fraudulent registration of dead people and prisoners to elect Obama. The fix was in. Shame on all of you who are in cahoots to steal an election from its sacred process.

nancy the polls just like the msn are trying to direct public opinion instead of reflecting it.
if they can demoralize us, we quit, we don’t vote, we give up-the obama game plan. don’t fall for it. have more faith in the american people than in the polls.

the polls do not reflect the number of people who will not answer the poll for various reasons, these are (mccain supporters).
just vote, baby vote

nancy i agree. see ya at the polls on tuesday pack a lunch and bring a book. lol goodnight for now

Nancy – You seem quite proud of yourself.. It’s a bit difficult to follow a posted Gallup poll into what you dove into. ACORN is a group of community organizers that assist low-income and disabled people in their community with affordable housing, better schools, healthcare, etc. ACORN has also been involved in the Gulf Coast Recovery.
ACORN pays people to go our and register new voters. Sometimes the people they hire, take advantage of ACORN and sit in a library with a phonebook and just make up names so they can get paid.
1. No one is “rigging” the election.
2. ACORN turns in the forms w/the registrations Flagged that are an issue
3. It is ONLY voter fraud if MICKEY MOUSE actually shows up to vote and gets to vote.
4. The damage has been done to ACORN by the people they hired and the money they are out.
Nice smear job though..

TaxMan, ha ha ha ha ha. You are a fr**king idi*t. There is no need to complain that Buffet’s or your own taxes are too low. Please go ahead and pay more if you believe your assertion that it is the right thing to do. No need to put out an argument, “save me the crocodile tears.. your hypocritical rhetoric doesn’t cut it any more”.

**
Please go ahead and pay more if you believe your assertion that it is the right thing to do.
**
Nope, I’m voting Obama. I’d pay more taxes under McCain so the wealthy can pay less.
Although, I would not mind paying more if it meant balancing the budget and reducing our national debt.. something that our generation will leave future generations burdened with for a long, long time.

**
Tax Man,apparently you haven’t heard the news.Biden has said that no one under 150,000 will see a tax hike
**
Apparently, you haven’t heard.. 250K is the break even point, has been the break even point, and continues to be the break even point. Spin spin spin baby.. it will all be over soon.
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/

**
Well I wonder,why did biden say that.Hmmmmm,must be a mystery.
**
Maybe because it’s true that anyone making less than $150K would get a tax cut.. just like it’s true that anyone making less than $200K would as well. The two are not mutually exclusive, no matter how you would like to believe otherwise.
I know it’s a difficult subject for you.. economics require at least a high school education with some math skills. Of course, if you are just trying to be obtuse and find reasons to justify your existance, spin spin spin baby! It will all be over soon.

And for your information I got a degree,which trumps kindergarten.

Regarding tax cuts, Biden said: “It should go to middle-class people, people who are making under $150,000 a year.”
Your claim that he said those making $150K were wealthy and would see a tax hike is simply a lie and apparently a deliberate attempt by you or your ‘source’ to twist the truth.
You-tube has it if you care to visit.. doubt you will though. Spin it how you like, the rest of us know the truth.
**
And I could ask you how you justify supporting a Baby Killing
**
Dont.. and neither does either candidate. If instead, you are simply referring to abortion, then yes, I am pro-choice. I don’t think the government should tell a woman what she should or should not do and that it is a matter between herself and her doctor.
**
Anti Gun
**
Nope.. I and Obama fully supports the 2nd amendment (he is a constitutional law expert and has fought his whole life to uphold the constitution). I guess you bought into the NRA lies that they are currently being held liable for.. not surprising.
**
Pro Gay Marriage
**
Good for him.. so is the majority of the country.. homophobic are we?
**
Military Cutting
**
Absolutely! Defense spending is over half our budget. Times have changed.. so must our defense strategy.. in case you missed it, spending billions on fighting 1500 Al-Qaeda members is kind of self defeating, and multiple studies have shown that military force rarely works in ridding ourselves of these pests. We could have had a military ten times the size we did on 9/11 and it wouldn’t have stopped those 19 individuals. Maybe you would like to read recent congressional testimony to the Armed Forces Committee in September regarding exactly this subject:
http://www.rand.org/pubs/testimonies/CT314/index.html
**
Tax Raising
**
Yup.. to less than it was under Clinton for those making more than $250K.. It amazes me that people think we can continue on our spending spree without paying for it.. if you support our unprovoked invasion of Iraq, then you should pay for it. If you supported the largest government reorganization since WWII that is costing us $50 billion a year, then you should pay for it (and lets just ignore the fact that it has made things worse, not better).
I actually have a good solution to this.. I think that at the end of a presidents term, if that president raised the national debt, then the amount it was raised should be calculated, and those who voted for that president should have their taxes raised to pay for what they inflicted on the country, while those who didn’t vote them into office would continue along with our reduced tax rates.
Might give you pause this election and who you would vote for. The tax policy center estimates that each candidate, when looking at their tax plan, health plan and other spending proposals, has estimated that McCain would raise the national debt by $10.9 trillion over 10 years, while Obama would raise it by $5.4 within the same period. That of course doesn’t include McCains answer to the ‘pre-existing’ condition problem with his health plan, which would tack on an additional $1 trillion. And try to ignore the fact that Obamas health plan would be more efficent, allow more Americans to get coverage (47% of the currently unemployeed compared to 7% at peak under McCain), and would save businesses an estimated $140 billion a year in tax savings.
Obama has a much better chance at closing the gap between spending and revenue generation, particularly since McCain wants to spend more and collect less taxes to pay for it… He will simply continue us down that merry path set forth by Bush, spending us into depression. What a good plan!
As for your degree, good for you.. Depending on where you went to college and if you went for a PhD program, I might have just been one of your professors. Although, you are in the minority, since the more educated are voting Obama for very valid reasons that seem to escape you. Do you by chance have a Journalism degree :)
In the mean time, spin spin spin baby.. it will all be over soon!

And no I don’t have a Journalism degree.And if you are wondering how I know that obama pays bloggers it’s because I read what one of his top people said in a report about it.

Excuse me,he doesn’t pay bloggers.He pays people from his campaign to blog.You can see how that could trip you up.

And you are most certainly right,although I can’t see a reason why you are so quick to rush to your defeat.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Introducing the next president of the United States of America…Barack Obama! Hail to the chief..We are proud Americans..Whites,blacks,hispanics, asians, native americans,jews, gentiles, the whole world…All the polls done the world over..show that the world want Barack Obama to be president of the country they once respected for leadership and is looking for leadership again..Obama will provide that..he is not an imperialist like Bush and the Republicans…Obama is primarily concerned about America and its economy…Good man! that Obama..Go out there and vote Obama..Thank you America!

Colin Powell, Warren Buffet, President Reagan’s former chief of staff, The former press secretary of George W Bush(McClellan)..Bill Gates, Donald Trump,and the list goes on and on..what do they have in common? They all support Barack Obama..so if he is a socialist then these people are probably socialist too! When I read everyday the list of smart people(former Gov’t officials who are well respect in this country and beyond) who support Obama I cannot help but give the man my support. Obama/Biden 08!

Good greif stanley were to begin,I guess I’ll go by when you said them.Unless you count Umm…umm…umm…Change…and…and..and…to be straight then that is wrong.Bill Cosby is against him,that make him a rascist?IMPERIALIST!?That is what the Commies(USSR)called america.Uggh,how can anyone suport a socialist?My mind hurts trying to figure out the logic you use to make your decisions.Tax Idiot,I did not use rhetoric,you did.I asked anyone posting those questions.I make Valid points and ask you to counter them and you start insulting.You and the majority of obama supporters don’t try and answer anything.You insult and insult until people get tired of you and log off so you can then bash them and feel good about trying to vote yourself more money.Ben Franklin said people like you would destroy this country.I agree 100%,trying to vote for someone just because you think you’ll get more money under them is as unamerican as you can get.You make no points and can’t answer how almost no experience trumps Executive experience when running for an executive office.Won’t explain how he is Pro Gun when he voted anti gun.I would assume right now that he is paying you to keep this up.If you looked at everything there is no way you can call voting for an Inexperienced socialist an informed decision.I certainly hope you actually consider what I’ve said.Although I know you will continue blindly following Obama.I am Obama for Latrine Cleaner ’08 signing off.

Obama voters will follow him off a cliff like LEMURS.

We live in Missouri and I cannot imagine the weather that would keep my eighty-five year old mother from the polls. She uses old common sense and is voting for Obama. ……………

“Obama voters will follow him off a cliff like LEMURS.”
If you are going to use cliches get them right. The correct animal is the lemming.
I would be careful using that analogy though since it more accurately describes many (but not all) of the original Bush/Cheney/McCain followers who have been following them since 2000 into disasterous wars and economic ruin and STILL want to follow them over the edge. Please look up. Tomorrow may be your last chance to change course.
