Obama to McCain: You're right, I "don't understand" your erratic foreign policy
By SilentPatriot Wednesday Oct 08, 2008 5:45am
Barack Obama was as sharp as ever tonight, so when John McCain recited his "Obama doesn't understand..." line from the first debate, Obama retorted with the line of the night.
Obama: Well, you know, Sen. McCain, in the last debate and today, again, suggested that I don't understand. It's true. There are some things I don't understand.I don't understand how we ended up invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, while Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are setting up base camps and safe havens to train terrorists to attack us.
That was Sen. McCain's judgment and it was the wrong judgment.
When Sen. McCain was cheerleading the president to go into Iraq, he suggested it was going to be quick and easy, we'd be greeted as liberators.That was the wrong judgment, and it's been costly to us.

frist?
Americans have such an ugly choice both candidates say there will be more wars, both candidates voted for the bailout and the fisa bill that the people they represent were against, both want to expand the military and so on...
Don't worry suspending the election, calling martial law, bush will save you the heart ache of deciding.
Is Posse Comitatus Dead? US Troops on US Streets

mcclueless.
obama kicks his ass in every aspect, in every scenario.
it would be nice to have a choice but there really isn't. not to the intelligent anyway.
BAM!
Obama should win he would be the best prisident ever!! wooohoo
Loved it Obama came across as presidential while throwing McLame under the straight talk express
Best line of the night.
I really can't watch the old dude get punched around again.
It's embarrassing.
I don't understand how McCain's "no earmarks as president" could vote for the bailout and the $180 Billion of pork the came along for the ride.
I continue to be amazed at the deftness and brilliance of obama. I was one of the chorus that wanted him to "take the gloves off" and really come out swinging. Maybe that's because of my hot blooded temperament (which come to think of it has not served me well in most cases).
But his strategy of playing it cool, sticking to the facts, and pre-empting known mccain attack lines is paying off.
Already, obama/biden have changed the style of political discourse in this country. A class act all the way. The public will, I am sure, continue to see the stark contrast of obama/biden's style to the mccain/palin ad hominem, mud-slinging, strident, vituperative, moronic, condescending, fascist, . . . (whoops, there I go again).
To be fair....it's not really McCains' foreign policy.
I think he stopped having original thoughts a long time ago.
With the Republican chances sinking so low so fast, you have to figure that they are going to engage in slash and burn desperation moves.
Poison the well as itt were.
Kinda like a that guy we all new who would fold the Risk board rather than face the reality of losing.
Oh, some of it certainly is.
McCain's policy on Georgia is strongly and undoubtedly colored by his personal relationship with Saakashvili. He's way off the Conservative mainstream with it, and he goes further than many Neocons, even.
if mccain knows how annoying and dishonest he sounds.
If he says "My friends" again, I'm going on a rampage of world domination and will destroy all TV sets, I can't take it anymore I tell you!! :)
McCain's baffling statement:
"I'll get Osama Bin Laden, my friends. I know how to get him. I know how to do it."
McCain had a secret plan for the past 7yrs?
I'm going to guess that he plans to share with us the deatils after he's President
'Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran'..........
*details
WTF was that all about? If he's had a top secret plan all along, why has he let so many (Americans and Iraqis, and NATO troops --including Canada-- and Aghanis, and many others) die, and not told anyone?
He knows how to fix the economy, catch Bin Laden, help families, shit...he can even cure the common cold.
But he won't tell us how?
Why is he trying to extort America?
McCain's hubris, more like it.
He says that about everything. He 'knows how to win' in Iraq.
He even claims to 'know' how we could have 'won' in Vietnam!
He doesn't give details on HOW to win, or what 'winning' would entail, because in McCain's world view, it seems that 'winning' is simply 'never admitting you lost'.
Obama was in excellent form last night.
McSpain...not so much.
McBigot is like a bitter old has-been football quarterback who knows his undistinguished career is nearly over, and he's fighting a much younger, smarter, far more talented performer whom all the coaches love. The only thing the tired old man has been left is to try to destroy the younger guy's reputation and divide the locker room(the country).
8 years of wrong judgement can leave a country pretty fucked up, can't it?
Boy is that a spot on observation Man calls them as he sees them
LAID...HIM...OUT! Cold.
could it possibly be the filthy repo machine is finally grinding to a halt
hey America ,, how much more can you let them steal?
great site for anyone that thinks they might have a problem voting....
stealbackyourvote.org
In Alaska...
http://snipurl.com/44h3r
Is it bad that when I heard this I immediately thought, "McSame's campaign is going to use the 'You're right, there are some things I don't understand' line in a commercial against Obama?
Have I really become *that* cynical?
one can NEVER be too cynical.
Never assume political ignorance when, on the same evidence, you can deduce malevolence...
As Poppa Joe Kennedy said in 1959: "In politics, there are no accidents..."
BTW -john mcsame ...RIP
your life of SERVICE to your country is about over
America can't take much more
Yup.
It's an interesting thought though. If he loses, whether he'll stay in the Senate or not once his term is up two years from now. Kerry's stuck around, but he's younger and hadn't failed twice already.
I'm guessing he wouldn't run for re-election to the Senate. He'd be in the minority, have spent most of his political capital and burned a lot of his bridges with both parties in this high-stakes gamble. Not to mention mental and physical fatigue.
He's out. He'll retire.
There will be a big majority for Dems in the Congress, and he'll be on the outs with his own party...so there will be nowhere he could go with his seat.
He can't try to get earmarks for Arizona...as Democrats will lambast him for it...and he'll get no help from conservative Republicans.
He won't have any committee chairmanships.
He's done. FINI. Bub bye.
McGoo and LIEberman can retire together and spend their time playing "musical houses/condos) jumping around among Cindy Lou's homes here and there!
Was it just me or did others notice this too? I watched MSNBC and when McCain spoke, they often showed a split screen with Obama reacting to McCain's comments. I don't really remember the split screen when Obama was speaking. I figure there's one set of cameras and most networks had the same video feed. Did they not want anyone see McCain reactions? Was it his facial expressions that they didn't want to show? I did notice that when Obama mentioned the "bomb bomb Iran" episode, McCain was in the camera background and he had a look on his face that would have caused his own mother to cringe.
If you noticed, Obama was able to sit quietly, respectfully listening, no figetting at all. McCain tended to pace while Obama was speaking. Very hard to keep the camera on a pacing person who is turning around and fidgetting.
Made McCain look like a petulant little boy--just like Bush at the Olympics, thumping the American flag on his leg.
It would have been hard to have a split screen on McLame, because the old fart was wandering all over the stage
can think the Murkin People won't see through the tissue of lies and misrepresentations he and his campaign are tossing around like cow-patties..."
Finally, after years of dems unable to unify or present themselves against the crazy united front of the Republicans, they are finally falling apart.
Repugs are pissed off that McLame proposed the mortgage buyout during the debate tonight -they can't believe that was supposed to be his big gamechanger against Obama. They are so pissed off at their lame ass candidate because they can't spin his crap.
I hope on the campaign trail Obama and his surrogates point out something along the lines of: When McCain and Obama were face to face, McCain didn't bring up any of Obama's past associations or look Obama in the eyes.
It can be implied by that, that either McCain doesn't really believe his campaign's own rhetoric and/or he's ashamed by it and/or he's a coward. Possibly all of the above.
McCain probably didn't want to open up discussion to his own dubious relationships to the Keating 5 and the supporter of the abortion doc shooter.
My money is on Obama.
(n/t)
Cindy pitching and McCain catching counts.
After the debate, CNN hosted some "independent" focus group in Columbus,Ohio evaluating the two candidates performances. Although the group voted by a show of hands that Obama had beaten Grandpa in every category(economy, foreign policy, health care, etc.) the majority of the audience(virtually all white, older voters) still voted at the end that they still would vote for McBrainless....go figure.
Slightly OT, but relevant and important. Please pass this on:
The story is all over Progressive Talk Radio today about the MCain campaign sending absentee ballot applications to registered democrats or people that have donated to Obama's camapign.
These ballots are deliberately misleading and have postage paid return addresses that are for an election clerk that is outside of your city or town. What this will end up doing is either having your vote not counted, or if you return one of these, they will cite you for election fraud, saying that you already voted absentee.Th ese ballots are only being sent out in 'purple states' and this is a big deal.. This is called voter caging, and is a huge problem.
The McCain campaign is stealing this election as we speak. Please get this information out to as many people as you can, and tell anyone you know who has received one of these ballots that they need to contact their city election clerk or the supoervisor of elections immediately. Al so call the local media and let them know what is going on.
Did you pass it on to OBAMA's CAMPAIGN ?? For their LAWYERS..ASAP !
Just like brining vote tamperer Kenneth Blackwell, State Sup. of Elections in Ohio, whom whistleblowers inside the RNC have accused of "criminal vote tampering" in rigging the 2004 election in Ohio, this lawsuit against the RNC proper is moving forward right now.
Yes, this comment bears repeating and the Obama camp has been actively making the case for GOP "tampering" with ballots. In fact, I believe the GOP is being sued for this level of vote tampering at this moment.
Be sure to check the destination address of your absentee ballots!! We'll see the GOP in court on this level of criminal vote tampering, too.
If anyone watching this debate still questions who would be the more effective leader in these troubled times, I don't know what more proof they need?
The choices are clear; a young, energetic, charismatic leader, who can articulate new ideas, and will surround himself with subject matter experts with a variety of ideas, so as to enable him to make informed decisions,
Or,
A tired, senile, grumpy, old, Washington insider, whose best days have long since passed him by.
When George Bush hits the campaign trail as a surrogate for McCain, we know that the McCain campaign is tanking, big time!
This also means that there's a defined shift in his base support right now as well. Why else send someone so totally "toxic" out there right now if not to shore up the base.
Practical people who have witnessed Palin's criminally inciting strategy on the stump this past week are turning away from Palin in droves right now. They've realized that this level of animal behavior is dangerously self-destructive to the citizens of this country and are rejecting it....other than the rabid christo-extremists who believe women should have no rights whatsoever.
I've heard that attendees at the Florida rallies where Palin is being accused (by civil rights organizations gathering to bring suit right now against the Sheriff who "incited to violence" and Palin who sat by while death threats were hurled) are disgusted with the McCain/Palin ticket and are realizing that what they're witnessing is a "Hitler redux".
Republicans are jumping ship now because they see the violent side of Palin and McCain and also recognize that their rights as citizens, as well as their safety, is being compromised by Palin's childish name calling and dangerous tactics.
"I don't understand" was a great line, masterfully delivered by "THAT ONE", to the shuffling janitor, lost and wandering around the stage.
The other one I liked: "the wheel got off the straight talk express" - more like all FOUR of them fell off by now.
How will this translate for the crucial elderly and perennially confused Jewish vote in Florida ? As Jon Stewart asked few days ago:"whom will they mistakenly vote for this year ?"
Hopefully this is going to help them decide and vote:

Message to Your [Jewish] Grandma: Vote Obama
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: October 6, 2008
It’s still a big if, but if Barack Obama emerges victorious on Election Day, with the swing state Florida in his win column, a modicum of credit may be due Sarah Silverman.
In recent days Ms. Silverman, 37, the acerbic, anything-for-a-laugh comedian, has once again insinuated herself into e-mail inboxes with an online video called “The Great Schlep” (thegreatschlep.com).
In it she urges young Jews to encourage any grandparents who live in Florida to vote for Mr. Obama and to withhold visits to their bubbes (grandmas) and zaides (grandpas) if they don’t comply."
“If Barack Obama doesn’t become the next president of the United States, I’m going to blame the Jews.”
Actually given their penchant for mistaken voting, more of those FL retirees may end up voting for Obama than they think.
I'm sure that some very elderly resident in Florida, regardless of their ethinic or religious views, could get confused and flusterd about voting. But, any retiree who has the capacity to pay attention to what's been going on with the stock market, the economy, and the banking system, especially if they've hear McGoo discussing how he still want to privatize SS and reduce Medicare funding will likely passover the Repugs this time around. Debbie Wasserman Schultz seems fairly confident about that, too.
As pitiful, decrepit McPappy sat there lighting up like a christmas tree because he actually believed that Obama would be agreeing with him as he did in the first debate, Obama landed the TKO of the evening - and with aplomb!
There sat a crumpled shell of a spineless man whose pitiful pitbull surrogate has incited their base to violence all week looking like a eunich before our very eyes. Where did McCain's balls go? I believe they headed North to Alaska!
North to Alaska via circuitous route of Tennessee, that is. Maybe McCain's gonads are actually "entering the airspace of that Secessionist Party State" right now? Maybe McCain's balls have collided with Vlad's and will make Putin now a eunich as well? A curious thought...
This was one of the most priceless knockout punches I've ever witnessed in the history of our presidential debates.....where McPappy was papped, whapped, and zapped with a smile on his face expecting, like he audibly did during Obama's seeming compliments about him....
McCain's pathetic face told the story - as did his actions in, quite literally, "running out of the venue" on attendees. Desperatation personified.
McEunich will never reinstate any sense of integrity after another evening of bragging about some record he purports to hold and name-dropping about events and experience no one gives a crap about. He "flatlined" with Independents and even if he were capable of winning the last debate against Obama, I think it's safe to now state that "McCain's Moose is cooked". T
This will be a landslide win for Obama on Nov. 4 - so much so that even Rove's dispicable "hackers" won't be able to "rig" again.
McCan't has lost his mind and the election, from his choice of running mate to his views on the Iraq war, the economy, health insurance, wall street regulation/deregulation etc etc...
McFeeble has no real plan for anything. he wants to put a freeze on all Programs, it does'nt matter if it is a good program or a bad one. Obama wants to get rid of the programs that don't work, unlike McLame who wants to keep funding them at the current rate of funding. hey, if the program isn't working get rid of it, if it is a program that is doing great things, increase its funding.
9-11 changed life as we knew it. people bitch about security in airport/seaports,they want more, but they don't want to pay for it. these are the same people that show up at the airport late and bitch because THEY can't skip security and be escorted to the gate. FDR said "now is the time for government to spend money. (loose quotes)".
get people working with government backed programs (REA,TVA etc). programs like Alternative Energy, road/bridge repair, port security, daycare programs that could allow single parents or married couples that both need to work to make ends meet or could volunteer to help seniors or other people with special needs.
all I know is things need to change, and sitting around and doing nothing isn't change. people want to work and adults that have lost their jobs because of layoffs should not have to work three jobs in order to keep their houses, cars and save their credit that they worked for years to get.
The first thing I noticed,is that McCain came charging out of the gate ala Palin with his insulting greeting implying that it was about time Obama did a town hall. That was just infuriating to me. I guess that was his "Can I call ya Joe" moment.
Also, and this disturbs me greatly...McCain has to write EVERYTHING down. It's as if he will forget it immediately if he doesn't write it down. Good Lord! What does this say about his presidency? Will he be traveling around the world with a notepad tied around his neck? Imagine how he could be led around by his cohorts! It's frightening.
Obama won just by his mere presence. When Obama started talking, it was a slam-dunk each time!
I have heard repeated references to Putin when the subject of Russia comes up. Isn't Medvedev the CURRENT head of Russia? WHY hasn't SOMEONE pointed this out? Obama,what's up with that?
Ummmm, because nobody has bothered to memorize his name and has a problem pronouncing it?
Which reminds me, I can't WAIT to see the docu-drama/comedy of Palin before she was chosen (sittin' round the kitchen table bad-mouthing the U.S. with Todd), then being chosen, going to the dentist for her teeth whitening session ("I need these puppies to glow in the DARK!!), her Eliza Doolittle tutoring by Bush's boyz, her secret phone conversations with Rev. "Witchcraft" "I'll show you a way" Muthee in the wee hours ("Yes, Your Holiness...the end times are comin' and I'm leadin' the way toward the Lord!"). And then the final scene of them getting trounced at the polls. Of course, in the end John McCain and Cindy walk out of the "party" at the hotel without even saying goodbye to Sarah and Todd, kind of just like they did last night at the debate. They just left. Buh-bye.
And one last parting shot. For me, the best line from Obama last night was on healthcare when he said it's a RIGHT and McCain said it's a RESPONSIBILITY. Yeah, well, it's pretty hard to pony up that $800/mo. premium for the whole family when you've lost your job and your kids are starving. What an idiot.
Yay, Barry O! Go give ol' Grumpy McSame the business!
Just one concern: Are sufficient numbers of Yankees finally up to speed on Iraq? Have enough finally got it into their thick skulls that it was the wrong thing to do, and not just because the U.S. is "losing"?
If the answer is No, then BO's remarks went over many voters' heads.
The goal of next debate ought to be to make Grandpa Simpson flip out on National TV then treat him like a small child when he does flip out.
Just like Sarah Palin who found it necessary to read her notes instead of being intelligent enough to articulate her own thoughts during her debate, what the hell was McSenile doing scribbling down notes on his notepad all night?
Clearly, he needed those three items to be prioritized and, noticeably, had to wander back to his notepad to remember what the hell the three items to be prioritized were....eww......
Other than not being able to remember what he wanted to say due to his disturbing level of mental inability due to his age and his disease, what we witnessed in McCain was a man on the stump, wandering aimlessly around the stage....and even wandering one time during Obama's answer...what the hell was up with that? Did McCain have another brain fart and forget that it was Obama's turn to speak?
I found this hilariously disturbing and I'm certain american noticed it all as well.
Results of the investigation are proceeding as planned and will be aired on friday....looks like McCain's having another bad week which will haunt him into next week!
http://www.adn.com/troopergate/story/549113.html
The McCain campaign is leaking.....drip....drip....all over the place. Palin's got her finger in one of the leaks and McPappy runs from one hole to the other, frantically attempting to stop the carnage. Is it working? Absolutely not. Will it work for them? Absolutely not.
They remind me of some I Love Lucy show where Lucille Ball is on a "candy conveyor belt" attempting to do her job....the conveyor belt is running too quickly for her until finally she begins stuffing the candy into her mouth to hide her irresponsibility on the job.
McCain*Palin - I love Lucy's Conveyor Belt Comedy
That's why i hate it.
I wish we could have election day sooner - can't get rid of this feeling that there's too much time left for Bush and crazy admin to try something... DOW is tanking today, as did Asia and Europe. We need to change soon....
I loved it when after McCain had totally mangled Obama's tax plan, Obama said, The straight talk express lost a wheel on that one.
PNAC
The choices are clear; a young (BLACK), energetic, charismatic leader, who can articulate new ideas, and will surround himself with subject matter experts with a variety of ideas, so as to enable him to make informed decisions,
Or,
A tired (WHITE), senile, grumpy, old, Washington insider, whose best days have long since passed him by.
Did it ever come to light why McCain and Cindy left the stage so much earlier than the Obamas? I mean Michelle and Obama stayed and shook hands and talked with everyone. Why wouldn't the McCains want to do the same thing?
His Depends sprung a leak.
any other time in U.S. History when confidence in just about everything was so LOW.
Except 1929 probably
McCain had to pee.
If that had been the case, couldn't he have returned? Maybe he was ticked about something that happened during the debate or maybe it was something said to him by an audience member.
And the various factions in the GOP begin playing the blame game in 5...4...3...
Obama slapped the crap out of alzheimer McBush again.
last night mumbling to himself, tired, slogans, no new ideas, no enthusiasm, barely making it through the motions, pretty much symbolizes the current state of the U.S.
Malaise
In all seriousness, McCain may have left right away because of fatigue.
‘Look Backward,’ . . . ‘That which has never been, cannot be.”
(Just keep your wallets open and the money pouring in and don't question us)
Pretty much the message he delivered.
Image him after four years . . can't see it. Can you say, "President Palin"?
Nope I cannot say it and I hope to hell I never have to.
Can you say "President Palin"?
Not without stuttering and hysterically running down the middle of the road with my arms flailing in the air.
means never having to say you're sorry...
After last night, I'm of the opinion that the election is over. McCain doesn't have a chance at this point. Pray there are no surprises.
rate cuts Reuters - 6 minutes ago
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks fell in volatile trading on Wednesday as investors feared that coordinated rate cuts by global central banks, including the Federal Reserve, would fail to unfreeze the credit markets and avert a global recession.
Lets just lay down and die then! In our recliners. Yeah that's the solution right?
This is sickening
Tell the voters the truth about their diminishing prospects for once!
Stop trying to hose the voters with promises that can't be kept about pensions and medical care~!
You are assuming that the super-rich do not want the stock market to crash.
Keep in mind that the money has to go somewhere.
Why not into the hands of the super-rich?
Think about it like this; a lot of Baby-boomers have trusted Wall Street with their retirement money. Did Wall Street ever plan on paying that money back? I think that they did not.
This is an engineered crash.
They had to do it now. If Obama were to be become President; and, he is about to do just that. Do you think Obama would let Wall Street rob the Baby-boomers of their retirement pensions?
You see; this had to happen now.
They are going to bailout and take "profits" - - run, hide, expatriate, and when Bush leaves say. . . .
It's not our problem.
Yeah the Baby Boomers
We're going to be better off then our parents!
Money is Love, Money is Energy! I drive a New Yorker I drive a BMW!
Better we get the money then them!
Go Green! Buy Green!
But that's nothing. The market is all over the place. An hour before the market closed yesterday it was down 250 and then it plunged to -508.
If you were a Bombin' Johnnie supporter (or, equally apt, an Obama hater), then you thought BJ "put that uppity Obama in his place."
If you were already an Obama partisan, you remained an admirer.
But nothing changed...
According to the dial-o-matic poll ala CNN and MSNBC, they weren't too keen on most of what McBane had to say.
I want to know what McCain means by doing away with programs and bringing entitlements under control.
I'm thinking that he wants to do away with welfare, food stamps, HUD, medicare, education, and medical, and social security.
We have a #3 trillion dollar budget. The government is swimming in money.
Most of it goes to national defense, interest on our Republican debt, finance wars of aggression, and to support corporate welfare.
It seems to me that McCain wants to keep the part that feeds the rich and do away with the part that keeps people from starving to death.
McCain's policy is a recipe for a civil unrest.
through the massacre er debate I was laughing on the floor. mcSame is so over.I invisioned his campaign people yelling 'Get him off the stage.!'
Obama was great. McCain had very little of substance to say. He kept saying "I know how to balance the budget", "I know how to solve the energy crisis", etc. but he didn't tell us. The only solution he seemed to offer was "You have to sit down across the table and work out a bipartisan solution" as though just sitting down together will somehow magically solve every problem. You need ideas numskull. "I will sit down with both parties and find a solution" is not a solution. I do agree with McCain on one thing. A lot of problems in Washington have been caused by extreme partisan behavior. But that behavior in the past 16 years has been almost exclusively on his side of the aisle. And on a frivilous note: McCain looked so stiff walking around the stage holding that microphone I couldn't help but think of that little old man Tim Conway used to play on the Carol Burnett Show.
Once Obama is elected, do you think the American people could offer an early retirement plan to Bush and Cheney to try to entice them to leave well before January 20th, 2009?
Just give GW a few extra dollars and tell him to go back to Crawford. Honestly, once the decision is made, we don't need him meddling (i.e. effing up)situations which are of no concern to him or his cronies.
You've done enough George, just leave. Let us get on with rebuilding our Nation.
Oh yeah. Cheers to Obama for finally bringing up "Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb-Iran". McCain's attempt at shrugging that of was lame. "It was a joke for an old Navy buddy" or whatever.
All this talk of "erratic" foreign policy is probably turning sarah on.
she's already considering Tom Selleck as Secretary of Internal Affairs
Or one of the Jonas Brothers.
)O(
If McCain doesn't have the guts to go after someone in the same room with him who 'pals around' with terrorists, how can we expect him to stand up to our other enemies?
When has McLame ever stood up for anything? Check the guys voting record over the years. He has never really stood for anything.
Oh yeah. Cheers to Obama for

StCyrlyMe2 says,
As we see folks, John McSame has been told that, for him to win this election, he will have to simply destroy Obama in the eye's of the American people, whom McSame can now see, has been given overwhelming, trust and support, to get us out of this right wing mess we are in.
McSame is not going to tell you that the very policies, he is now saying he is against, he was in lock step with the Bush administration and the Republican party in supporting. He voted 95% of the time to make sure these policies that has ruined our government took place. They all support the deregulation of our system of government.
He now has the nerve to ask us to put him in the White House to keep them going. He is not going to tell you that he and and the republican party have devastated our system of government to a point we will no longer be able to operate, with the small number of employee's we currently have. He will not say that a large part of the demise in government systems work, has been privatized and given to corporate America to do exactly what they have done and so they can continue to say that government does not work.
It should be clear to all of us, from the overall state of this economy, that we are never going to get this mess cleaned up with George Bush, still holding the rains of power. He is not going to come forth with any evidence that would shine the spot light on his and and the republican party apparatus,real roll in this mess, which is the catalyst that is driving this catastrophic, disaster, not just in this country, but is ricocheting, all over the world
McSame continues this mantra of raining in government spending and allow corporations to run wild. This notion that republicans continue to Howell, about keeping taxes on these mega, corporations down, and to allow them to continue to itemize and shield even the small amount they are required to pay, by using these cheap underground schemes, through the banking systems in these third world countries to even keep from paying their small amount. He refuses to admit, these policies he supported failed and that he wants to continue to blow smoke up our asses, they will work. The current state of our States and Cities, around this country are testimony to what these right wing policies have contributed to this country.
He wants to continue to drum in the minds of American people that the very notion of enforcing tight government controls of these corporations, that want to do business in this country is a bad thing, while he and they reach out with both hands, for government assistance, when they fail, as those of us, with knowledge, of what they have done tried to tell them. He continues to speak as if government intervention is a bad thing for these corporations, which as we now see,could not be further from the truth.
They all work for the Government and know that their jobs are to promote the very system that employs them, yet they do the exact opposite, because they know that the system of government is
basically the people. We are the Government, and we currently do not have a voice as they have given it to corporate America. These so called smaller tax breaks he and the republicans are running their campaigns on is a all around losing strategy, when the majority of American people don't make enough income to worry about how much taxes we have to pay. It is corporate America and the 10% of super rich Americans that have this worry.
We need to make no mistake about the real roll these private corporations really play in the demise of this country and who allowed them the power and UN obstructed leverage to do so.
If any of you were as tuned into all of the congress and senate floor hearings and voting on policies and important bills, being passes through out this administration, especially during the lead up to this illegal war in Iraq, you would know how all of this mess, came to be.
You would know as I do without a doubt, that the Republican party whom has held the rains of control in both houses, for the last twelve years, dismantled our system of government control, while they took money from these corporations to do so.
Even now and in the last eighteen months of Democratic Majority, they have been unable to clean up much of the mess the Republicans have gotten us into, because they don't have sufficient control, needed to correct the problems. They are unable to pass any worthwhile legislation because of the power this President has to veto and the fact that even though the President does not have the power of the line item veto, he pretends he does with the use of these out of control signing statements, he uses to get the desired results in policies, that have simply devastated this country.
Folks, this is why they just have to get John McSame, in the White House, to continue these same old policies they have used to run this country in the ground and to bring average American citizens down to a level of total helplessness, which is exactly why we need to send the Obama/Biden ticket, to lead this country out of this mess and restore the confidence of the American people back to it;s rightful place.

I loved that line by Obama. I almost guarantee that McCain will be taking it out of context in his next commercial though. He's just that big of a liar.
As far as I'm concerned there is one ticket with 2 Presidential Diplomats ...willing to do more with our relationships around the globe and try to move us toward progressing. There is also a ticket of mad, arrogant, flip, crass, unsympathetic, dispectful, aholes who want to keep us in the dark ages!!
Electing the most Liberal (who's defintion?)Senator into the White House can only be a good thing for this country to start to move to the left, because Democracy wont survive if we dont!!!
Obama/Biden 08
I was a little disappointed that Obama didn't go after McCain harder and not let him get away with some of the "crap" he continues to say-but the format was made in such a way to make it impossible to do so.
However, this whole notion of "most liberal senator" in congress? Why doesn't Obama use the old Kennedy line and bring up about 5-8 examples of his Votes Against Bush/McCain policies and say "if that is what you mean by Liberal, then yes, I am liberal" and take the use of Liberal as a bad word away.
