Obama: McCain “Earned” Cheney’s Praise Today, Was “Washington’s Biggest Cheerleader for Going to War in Iraq”

Jake, wanna have some hilarious 6 minutes?
Do listen to that incredible phone call about a fake Sarkozy and the real Palin.
It’s… all kinds of things, but also scarier than Halloween if we consider that this woman REALLY is a VP candidate in our country.
Ben Smith at Politico has audio links.

Below I meant to write:
“phone call BETWEEN a fake Sarkozy and the real Palin”

I used to support Sen. Obama, but Sen. McCain earned VP Cheney’s endorsement today because he displayed superior judgement when in 2003 he lonelily and solitarily called for a surge in combat troops in Iraq when the rest of the nation thought Sec. Rumsfeld was doing a great job. Sen. Obama is spinning: had Sen. McCain had his way, we would have won Iraq on the cheap by 2005. Had Sen. Obama had his way, we would have lost Iraq after deposing Saddam Hussein. Had Sen. Obama had his way, Cousin Hussein would still be in Iraq. Had his VP Candidate Sen. Biden had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in Kuwait. I don’t want a President that lies to me, and the idea that Sen. McCain cheerled the Bush administration is a lie.

McCain said negotiating with Bush and Cheney was like negotiating with Bonny and Clyde.
Obama said he didn’t know how he would have voted for the war.
Obama in 2004 said it would be a mistake to ever withdraw troops.
McCain read Cheney the riot act about his insane torture position.
McCain demanded the white house stop sending Cheney over to the senate for torture negotiations.
McCain stood up the Cheney on torture.
McCain didn’t reschedule Cheney’s speech at the RNC.
McCain and Cheney can’t stand eachother.
It was a throwaway line by Cheney at a wyoming function.

That endorsment is like the curse of the devil.

McCain is the only candidate to ever stand up to Cheney in this race.
McCain went to Cheney’s office and told him out insane his torture position was.
McCain told Cheney to stop being the negotiator on it dealing with the senate.
McCain demanded Cheney be replaced as the white house rep and he was.
McCain and Cheney can’t stand eachother.
McCain also can’t stand Cheney’s cheif of staff Addington.
Obama is too dense to understand that Cheney and McCain can’t stand eachother.
Cheney didn’t even speak at the RNC.
Obama has a far left record and he has no experience so he makes wild false claim associations when Cheney and McCain can’t stand eachother.
McCain voted against keeping our troops in Lebanon.
McCain can’t stand five defernment cheney.
Obama and Cheney both never served.

Tripe , Why not call him “Rich” Cheney?

To Question:
Obama thought the leader of Canada was the president of Canada.
Even though Canada has been under parliamentary rule for 140 years and the prime minister has been the leader of Canada for 140 years.
But Obama is on TOP of the ticket so he gets a pass.
Isn’t this election really fair?

Obama said we should have a war with Iraq we should finish the job in Afgainistan.
He was right McCain was wrong!
“Look, is this guy, Laden, really the bad guy that’s depicted? Most of us have never heard of him before. And where there is a parallel with Vietnam is: What’s plan B? What do we do next? We sent our troops into Vietnam to protect the bases. Lyndon Johnson said, Only to protect the bases. Next thing you know…. Well, we’ve declared to the terrorists that we’re going to strike them wherever they live. That’s fine. But what’s next? That’s where there might be some comparison.”-John McCain 1998
John McCain was wrong!
Obama 08

Obama supported the tax cuts to Exxon and other oil companies in Cheney’s energy bill.
McCain voted against the tax cuts to Exxon and other oil companies in Cheney’s energy bill.

Obama is promising almost a trillion $$ in new spending. Do you dolts really think all the dough will come from just taxing the rich? Because if you are you must have flunked remedial math. If you vote Obama and he gets in, don’t be shocked when filers who make $100K get new tax increases to help “Spread the wealth around” in a patriotic and unselfish way.

SO HOW IS OBAMA’S AUNT RELATED TO CHENEY?
ENOUGH OF REPUBLICAN LIES AND MANIPULATIONS.
DEMOCRATS FOR GOVERNMENT.

McCain fought against Cheney’s energy policy.
McCain has fought with Cheney over global warming.
McCain voted against Cheney’s energy bill for tax cuts for oil companies.
Obama voted for Cheney’s energy bill for tax cuts for oil companies.
Both Cheney and Obama never served and like to boss the military around.

OMG..Can McCain do anything more to loose the race. Why not just come out and do a group hug with Palin, Cheney, Bush, Bush’s Dad, Jeb Bush, and the CEO’s of all the OIL Companies. That will get the crowds moving…jeez.

More negativity our of Obama’s mouth but what do we expect since he has run the most negative campaign in history.
How anyone can listen to him speak is beyond me, he talks to people like they cannot think for themselves, he is so condecending but I guess that is the education level he is speaking to.

Jake – why can’t I type our current V.P.’s first name?

I’m another Ron Paul supporter voting for Senator Obama because:
I do not want men of our country draft into a war by war-monger CAIN.
And I do not want women going to jail for exercising their right to choose.
We need to breath before we can think clearly.
Obama will give as breath and 2012 will give US Ron Paul.

“So let me get this straight. Millionaire Obama doesn’t use his wealth to help his poor illegal alien Aunt get out of public housing, but if I complain about Obama wanting to raise my taxes to ‘spread the wealth around’ I’m the selfish one?”

This is an aunt he barely knows. It’s his stepfather’s half sister and not a blood relative. I bet you are another one that takes care of every uncle and aunt that you barely know and you also know where every one of them is at. Bunch of hypocrites the lot of you.

CHENEY ENDORSES MCCAIN!!! That is wonderful news. With the US on the upswing (no wars, economy great, US reputation held in the highest regard) in the past 8 years, I know who I’m voting for!

“The lanky Illinoisan”?? Sounds like a report from the campaign of 1860. Clearly time for a little vacation. :-)

To David,
in the spirit of Daylight Savings, here is my answer to you:
The B-C energy bill (Energy Act of 2005), has its good parts and its bad parts. The good being its incentives for consumers to lead energy efficient lives (home constructions), incentives for the alternative fuel industry (hybrid car production and use) etc… The bad being its massive giveaways to oil, nuclear industries. An affirmative vote ensured that the good came into being. Unfortunately the bad came with it. It is a compromise that is needed if congress is not to be in a deadlock forever, accomplishing nothing.
However, it’s more important to look at the candidates current positions to get the true pictures. John McCain talks more about drilling and nuclear power. In that case, why was he against that energy act? It certainly favored Nuclear and Oil industries which he is promising to embrace. Obama talks about alternative fuels, which were a big part of that bill, he does not promise to make Nuclear and Oil a cornerstone of his energy policies as McCain does (which, I repeat, is a a direct contrast to his position of rejecting those aspects of that 2005 Energy Act)

where are Obama’s medical records hmmm all that cocaine usage and allegations of Larry Sinclair saying that he is bisexual, hmmm maybe Obama is HIV positive. Obama never released his medical records, or Illinois State Senate Records, or college transcripts, or law school transcripts.
Actually, what happened to his grandmother Toot??? I thought Obama said she was dying? Why did he not take the kids to see her? Why did he only visit her for 1 hour according to the campaign schedule.
Could it be that Obama really went to Hawaii to straighten out the mess involving his birth certificate?
Obama is such a liar. The shameful part is that the media helps him.

“And why did Biden say 150k”
Biden corected himself in the same speach $250,00… I know Sean Hannity didnt tell you that so I get you may really have believed that.
“Richardson say 120k” Richardson’s problem is he never listens… Regardless he is wrong!
“Obama himself say in 2003 70k?”
I never heard Obama say that Ill have a look if you have a link ? Regardless the number are clear!
$250,000 for couples and $200,000 for singles = Tax Cuts!

Concerned in Ohio
Thanks for the link I watched and read it and In 2003 Obama was talking about a economic stimulus package.
Which has nothing to do with his Tax Plan. Which is clearly $250,00 for couples and $200,00 for singles!

McCain is the only candidate to ever stand up to Cheney in this race. He stood up and shook his hands and gave him a big hug. Said, “You can do it”. GWB has yet to stand up.

For which income ?
Concerned in Ohio
A median-income family of four will pay an annual effective income tax rate of 4.32 percent under Obama.
Which income are you after ?
Under reagan that same family had an annual effective income tax rate of 11.79 in 1981 and 9.30 in 1988

McCain is using the exact same Karl Rove fear and smear tactics as Bush/Cheney did.
We all hoped there would be a difference but there is none. McCain is in the gutter with the same Bush advisers and strategists.
Bush’/Cheney’s sleazy tactics = McCain’s sleazy tactics.
This is not change. This is more of the same slimy politics.
The electorate will rightfully boot the Republicans out of the White House.
No more sleazy politics! Boot the Republicans out of the White House!

Cheney’s endorsement should send people running — away from McCain.
Try reading the book The Dark Side.
It’s enough to make people really take a good hard look at what Bush & Cheney have done to this country. They have done more damage to this country than you think.
And to think that McCain supported these two after what Bush did to McCain during his campaign in 2000.
The Republican Party (aka the GOP) and this administration have been a disaster for America — in foreign policy, economics, and corruption.
GOP = gutted our pocketbooks, greedy oil policies, grossly opportunistic politicians

Hillary Supporter…What of John McCains pastor, you know the one who blamed Katrina on the people of New Orleans? What of John McCains admitted support, admiration, and $500,000 to Khalidi? What of Sarah Palins ties to the Independence Party of Alaska? A group which so loathes the USA that they are striving to secede from it? What of Palins witch doctor, vodoo following (video documentation exists of that too you know)? What do you have to say about these issues?

Tucker Bounds lies right and left. I have seen him many times – says anything that is a lie!!!
Cheney endorsement is a huge danger for any Americans!! This man needs to be prosecuted. Didn’t even feel in court of law his work documents or emails were to be saved. Did feel he is part of administration?? He is an evil, evil man!! Got several justices dismissed illegally. Attacked Democratic legislators with FBI for no cause Cheney is presently under investigation for his illegal activities.
Most Americans would be appalled!!
Tell McCain to enjoy Cheney’s endorsement. Tells us Americans just how bad McCain is!!

Wait a minute here….
Powell was the biggest Cheerleader
Powell was also Cheney’s biggest cheerleader
Bush just got left lonely and holding the bag after the great advisors pulled out.
Powell is now an Obama cheerleader….
That poor devil Powell never gets anything right …what with Auntie in the slum illegally and all.

The U.S. does have 57 states and teritories!

If You want to put a smile on the face of <—-insert G. Gordon Liddy,US Council for World Freedom,KLA

Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Rove should all be tried for crimes against humanity and for crimes against the American people. This gang of four robbed the American people to fatten their pockets and sacrificed 5,000 American soldiers and tens of thousands severely injured and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead who want us out of Iraq now and they think they did us a favor while Bin Laden still roams the hills in Pakistan? These guys who have led the nation into poverty while getting rich themselves have the collective IQ of 400 and the American people chose them to be our leaders? How sad.

cheer up, smile, nertz!
I think your misplacing blame here.
No one made Obama split the party in half…he made that decision all by himself.

Why is it always McCain = Bush and Cheney fir Obama? Doesn’t he have anything else to say?
“We can’t afford another 8 years…”, I didn’t know that Bush’s first 4 years was such a disaster, and if so, why was he re-elected?

Families making more than $250,000 will pay either the same or lower tax rates than they paid in the 1990s. Obama will ask the wealthiest 2% of families to give back a portion of the tax cuts they have received over the past eight years to ensure we are restoring fairness and returning to fiscal responsibility. But no family will pay higher tax rates than they would have paid in the 1990s. In fact, dividend rates would be 39 percent lower than what President Bush proposed in his 2001 tax cut.

Obama’s plan will cut taxes overall, reducing revenues to below the levels that prevailed under Ronald Reagan (less than 18.2 percent of GDP). The Obama tax plan is a net tax cut – his tax relief for middle class families is larger than the revenue raised by his tax changes for families over $250,000. Coupled with his commitment to cut unnecessary spending, Obama will pay for this tax relief while bringing down the budget deficit.

you are right,
mccain was not getting anyone out to his rallies, and his advisors said who can we find to get some of the people out
and their answer was,
hey, what about that moose killing gov in alaska, what’ her name, palin.
and now palin has brought out all of the people you listed.
but the thing is, mccain never wanted them, he is not one of them that is why they were not coming out for him in the first place,
mccain cannot stand those people.
but he wants to win so bad he will take anyone he can get

So now the almighty Barack Obama has decided that if I want to hang on to my hard-earned money rather than hand even more of it over to the federal government, I am selfish. Let me explain why I think it would be better for me to hang onto that money than to hand it over for him to redistribute as he sees fit.
Don’t get me wrong—I do not mind paying my fair share of taxes. Last year, all told, I paid close to $100,000 in taxes. And I did so gladly, without trying to hide any income or take advantage of any loopholes. But what Obama is proposing is not just asking me to pay my fair share. He wants to raise my income taxes and to eliminate the ceiling on other taxes. And Democrats are now also planning to wreck my retirement fund by eliminating the tax savings.
So what do I do with all that money I currently get to keep? Well, I think my spouse and I are good stewards of what we have earned. We give well over 10% of our income to charity. We give money to our local soup kitchen, the local humane society, Empty Stocking Fund, Girl Scouts, our church, the Heifer Project, the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and more. (In addition, we do volunteer work and last year donated over 60 toys to the Toys for Tots drive and hundreds of pounds of food and supplies to a local animal shelter.) So I honestly do not see us as selfish.
What else do we selfishly do with our money? Well, we added an employee to our small business and hoped to add two more next year. That employee is on track to make over $60,000 plus benefits this year, far more than he earned on his previous job. If Obama raises our taxes and lowers our income (because, believe me, his economic policies will prevent our economy from recovering from the current recession and that will mean less income for our company), we will not be able to hire those additional workers. Once we hire someone, we are committed to providing generously for that employee with pay and benefits—rather than take the chance that we could not keep them long-term, we would not hire them. So I honestly do not see us as selfish.
Oh, and we selfishly spend our money on American goods and services. I bought a GM vehicle a few years ago and planned to replace it next year. If more of my money goes to taxes, I will have to cut corners elsewhere, so the car, still serviceable and paid for, will just have last a while longer before I can replace it. That’s a sale the American car industry will lose. I also spend money hiring American workers to mow my lawn, wash my car, groom my dog, etc. If I have less to spend because it’s gone to taxes, I will have to cut back on these services, which I can do myself. I spend money at local restaurants when we eat out regularly and tip generously (at least 20%). I am a marvelous cook, however, and if Obama is using my money elsewhere, I will have to cut back on dining out.
My spouse and I do not live an extravagant lifestyle. We have a modest home, two vehicles, a child in college (the other one, in grad school, pays his own way). We do, however, spend our money wisely. We circulate money in our community and we contribute to the success of countless other small businesses. We also share generously with worthy causes. So I’m sorry, Sen. Obama, but I honestly do not see us as selfish. And you will not gain my vote by claiming we are.

Obama is leaving in place the Bush tax cuts on the middle class and lowering them on average by $1,500 so your wrong!
Fear wont work not this time!

Warren Buffet considers the current tax stucture unfair because his employees pay more percentage-wise than he does.
Buffet wants to *ensure the wealth, *spread the wealth (or whatever the poor people supporting welfare for the rich choose to call it), and make a better market for his products.
Buffet’s business cannot be sustained in this free market if there are no Americans to market to. He recognized that middle class Americans need income to make purchases.
Fire away republican businesses that still think slave labor “works”. Open the door for others with ethics AND good business ideas and strategies.

Obama ridiculing this McCain endorsement is like Bush calling the pope a war monger.
Obama wholeheartedly accepted the endorsement of C. Powell-you know the guy who played a very key role in getting us into war in the first place! You know the same C. Powell that was a Bush apologist for years.
You know the same war that Obama is supposed to be so vehemently against. The same Obama that bashed to death Hillary on her war stance. What hypocrisy!
The NYT has done a terrible job covering this election including the ramped up attacks against McCain in the last week. We have noticed and we will not let this hollywood, made for TV president win on tuesday!!

If Obama is elected, no more i the plumber it will be we the people we will be a comunity. Much like, or close to a Jim Jones kind of comunity. But it will be Obama’s comunity organization of all of America.

Would you like to be a bit more specific?

UPDATE: Auntie Onyango was silenced by the Obama Campaign until after the election.
This is what Auntie Onyango told the Times Online who broke the story that she was living in a Boston slum:
She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election. “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”
That’s interesting.
Auntie Onyango was told not to speak until after the election.
Who might have told her that?

The poor people man, Obama, raised over 650 million vs. the rich man’s candidate with just over 350. No wonder Obama is buying voters. But wait…all good things to those who wait. It is not over til it’s over. Knowing many of his supporters, they may be drunk, stoned, in jail or simply with no money for gas. And the sad part is that McCain isn’t even a good candidate, but out of two of them…NObama vote McCain

Your Numbers are wrong!
OBAMA LEAVES IN PLACE THE BUSH TAX CUTS FOR THOSE UNDER $250,000!
GO BACK TO THE FEAR DRAWING BOARD!

I love the numbers. I suggest that some of you may study them a little before you cast your vote.

Mike NC, I suggest you do your own research. You see, that’s what I do for a living and I can say that I don’t give a damn who wins, because it will no affect me a bit, but I care for people like you and don’t want to see them get screwed. That’s all

And for the record Mara, I have no reason to lie. I am not a lawyer like Obama or Biden. I just like politics and numbers:)
…and I hate to see people getting screwed by politicians on both sides of the wagon.

Itolduso: This baloney has also been refuted by:
Snopes
Politifact “A chain e-mail claims that Sen. Barack Obama intends to raise pretty much all your taxes, while Sen. John McCain will leave them alone. The problem is that most of the e-mail’s detailed assertions are false.”
Reality Tax
“No, of course Senator Obama isn’t propsing a tax on water, but that’s among the fantastic smears being emailed around lately in what appears now to be a desperate attempt to mislead middle America. Are we really that gullible? Do people sit around the cooler at work kicking this one around?”
But thanks so much for alerting everyne to this completely false information – I see that it’s making a few rounds – and I also notice that almost notice that almost anyone is paying attention.
Any other completely false chain emails you’d like to share?

These numbers do not lie. Bush tax cuts are about to expire and Obama will not extend them. The taxes are going up

“Overall, the Tax Policy Center said people with very high incomes would benefit the most under McCain’s proposal, while low- and middle-income taxpayers would see larger tax breaks under Obama’s plan and wealthy taxpayers would see their taxes increase.”
from itoldyouso’s first link . ..

sorry itolduouso you’ve just totally proved yourself and your information untrustworthy . ..

Everything in Itolduso’s ost concerning taxes has been refuted. It is false. It has been refuted by Fackcheck, Snopes Politifact, Reality check and others. Some reviews have simply said that all of the information was completely false. Others went further – and thought that it was deliberate. I have no opinion on that. However, these claims are false:
Obama will not double your income tax
(bracket by bracket – it’s all crap).
He will not tax you if your home is over 2400 sq. ft.
Obama will not increase inheritance tax
He will not put a 28% tax on the sale of your home
Obama will not tax your IRA or 529.
Obama will not tax our WATER.
All of this came from a chain email that was sent to hundreds of thousands of people last summer, and has been refuted by virtually every independent review in the country. It contained no links to the Obama tax plan and no references. It was simply made up. Apparently, somebody thought it was a good time to try it again.

I’m sorry, Itolduso, but you really have absolutely no credibility. That “tax the water” bit was just a little over the top. But I’d love to see a reference for your information.
Now that we know that your very long post about taxes was all bunk you’re switching to the Joe McCarthy gameplan?
I just don’t buy it that Warren Buffett, who is a bigtime, very successful capitalist, would strongly endorse a Marxist. Just wouldn’t happen. Nothing in Obama’s plan iss remotely Marxist. His plan is all about trying to start new American businesses.
The only candidate whose record comes anywhere near Marxism is Sarah Palin’s. In Alaska, they consider their resources to be “the people’s.” They tax oil, and then spread the money around. Every Alaskan received a big bonus check each year from the government. And the best part? They don’t even have to work for it.
“we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.” Sarah Palin 2008
Sarah has been running around the country calling Obama a communist – while running a little socialist state in Alaska. Do I think Sarah Palin is a Marxist? No. I don’t think she has the slightest idea what is means – or she wouldn’t have brought it up = with Alaska’s policies out for anyone to see. John McCain has also said that when you reach a certain level, there’s nothing wrong with giving a little more. Is he a Marxist? No, of course he’s not. And he has said clearly that he does not believe Obama is, either. But is doesn’t stop him from using it to try to scare people into voting for him.

Cheney is Evil…
He knows exactly what he is doing. Guess it was time for him to get even with McCain….
He has lost the election

It is a measure of Cheney’s delusional thinking that he believes his endorsement will help McCain. Johnny must be furious. Now, if we could just get Dubya to endorse McCain, the damage would be complete.

You read from time to time that there are murderers who know they won’t live much longer and are tired of their life so they wish to commit suicide, yet they could prefer to kill as many people as possible to bring them along. Examples of such victims are the innocent children, women and old people in Iraq & Afghanistan.

I am always stunned by folks like you who refuse to acknowledge that the Iraq war was a war of choice by Republicans and Conservatives. They lied, pure and simple.
You do realize and understand that, right?
It was packaged and sold by Bush, Cheney et. al. There was never a threat to America, and Bush & Cheney knew that. Your ‘after market’ spin about who wants to do what,.. now,.. to try and make the best out of a strategic blunder is clueless as well as meaningless, as is your assumption that 55,000 troops will die.
re: “Did you hear that they “…
who is the ‘they’ you refer to?

And Obama earned Colin Powell’s endorsement — yeah, the same Colin Powell who had the bad judgement to try to convince the UN that Iraq had weapeons of mass destruction. Maybe Colin’s bad judgement includes his endorsement of Obama.

Johnny Mc, you poor soul. You must be thinking “Thanks a lot. Why doesn’t my party just tattoo a swastika on my forehead?” Bye, JM. It was interesting.
Vote Obama so we can put all this behind us. Way behind us!

Cheney who ?

McCain may have “stood up to Cheney” about torture, but he changed his tune right after he won the nomination. He is now OK with it, and that is one of the main reasons I could never vote for him. Besides the inane things Palin says and does, McCain does nothing but rant and rave about Obama. When I see a Republican stump speech, 80% of it is about Obama. Seems they’d rather talk about him than their plans, or are there any? He shouts so much that he gets confused, as when he told folks in Western PA that he agreed with the assessment that they were rednecks. He said it twice before he corrected himself. That isn’t leadership, that’s emotion. We need calm and reasoned, not jumpy and impulsive.
