Senator Obama, reach out to these people in Pennsylvania. We don't want you to just do good in PA, we want you to WIN IT.

And put Hillary Clinton away for good.

For those of you that claim the Clinton Camp contacted Canada you should do some research.

Both the Clinton campaign and the Canadian government, deny that a representative from the Clinton campaign met with any representative from Canada.


ARE WE SAYING THE CANADIAN GOVERMENT IS LYING

and

Obama said nobody from his camp had a meeting with the Canada people. ONLY after the AP ousted him he acknowledge it.

double talk express.

Clinton 08

Yes We Can!
Obama '08

Between Geraldine Ferraro’s comments and the Clintons’ nefarious “we’ll let you be on our ticket comments” last week, it’s time America called the “First Black President” and his wife on their nasty "Rosa Parks" strategy.  

That "boy" doesn't have enough experience and he should just wait his turn.  We'll tutor him in the ways of Washington but he'll have to sit at the back of the bus for now.

And as far as Geraldine’s comments go, Ms. Ferraro, your candidate wouldn’t be where she is if she were not a woman.  She has NO demonstrable foreign policy experience and her record on the domestic policy front is a disaster.  You want to talk about “affirmative action”?  She’s had women all over the country marching to the polls to vote for her simply because she’s a woman.

Maybe if Ted Kennedy would quit nipping the bottle, he might remember something.

Way to go Obama,  You've taken up with the REAL old Washington Political people. Ted Kennedy and John Kerry,   Thought your campaign was all change?

Kennedy and Kerry are just mad at Hillary because she turned them down when they ask to run as her vice president.

The obvious short-sighted mentality of this administration is highlighted here. Aside from the battery-pack in Dubya's Back Pack Teleprompter, is there no Battery Mentality in the GOP? What does McCain propose to do about America's 'Battery Gap'? Will America invade Wal-Mart at some time in the future, to insure our supplies of Chinese Batteries aren't bought up by 'Liberals' and other 'Anti-Patriots'?  What happpens if China buys Halliburton? We won't be able to invade them, then, if we had to! Will batteries become as rare as Bugatti's in the USofA? I don't know about you, but without my iPOD, life just isn't worth living.

I want to start out by saying I'm republican for the most part, but do not, and did not like George Bush. I have been watching, reading and listening to everything about this election like most of you. I for the life of me can't understand how "Billary" is even allowed to run for the highest office in the country! The words Clinton and Scandal, are pretty much the same! Now if Hillary had divorced Bill ten years ago, maybe I could believe half of what she says! The whole Obama "movement" escapes me also. I am a lifelong resident of  Il. And am old enough to know that you don't get anywhere in politics in Chicago without owing someone, something! The Daily machine still holds the power. The freshman senator is if nothing else a great speaker, mostly if scripted. The biased media is now finally taking a closer look at Obama, and more will be revealed about him in the coming months. The thing that really gets me is his church. Out of all the churches in Chicago, why did he choose an all black church that endorses Farrakhan, denounces whites and Jews alike? If the white candidates had an affiliation with the Aryan brotherhood for example, don't you think they would be vilified in the press to say the least? Obama calls himself a "unifier", but to me, actions speak louder than words! The fact he doesn't acknowledge the flag of our country gives me pause for concern, as it should you all also. It makes me wonder what his agenda really is! The fact he is still in his first term and already making a bid for the White House without accomplishing much in the Senate is also a concern. A "present" vote is basically a safe move politically if nothing else. Our great country is in dire straights, and two Tax and Spend LIBERAL Democrats will only serve to bring our country down even more! People, make no mistake, John McCain is NOT George Bush! He is actually more moderate than conservative, and that is not necessarily a bad thing! He has the proven leadership, and has shown he can "cross the aisle” to get the job done. I truly believe that if he had been elected in 2000, the country wouldn't be in the mess we're in now! Vote for a PROVEN LEADER, vote McCain!

Almost touching how Republicans cling to the idea that Republican administrations are good for the economy, especially for small business, while Democrats will impoverish everyone, in spite of decades worth of evidence to the contrary.  Actually it's more pathetic than touching.  

Only in America could the party of the corporate elite convince people who live on their paychecks that they are on their side and that anyone who questions that is a socialist  and waging class warfare.  

Only in America could the working majority completely fail to notice that it's the Republican corporate elite that has been waging class warfare so successfully since the Reagan era that they have pretty much won and the rest of us are pretty much screwed

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

So he's winning because he's half-black? I love it. Racist.

"Of Clinton, Ferraro said that the press "has been uniquely hard on her. It's been a very sexist media. Some just don't like her. The others have gotten caught up in the Obama campaign."

Riiiight. It's not her crappy, Machiavellian playing-dirty double-speaking personality. Nope, no way. It's all just a media concoction.

.
Let us HOPE that the good people of Pennsylvania pay close attention to Hillary's claims --- and the rebuttals which demonstrate that Hillary is a PHONEY who exaggerates more than did PINOCCHIO.
.

I can't find a single story on MSNBC about Ferraro's racist comments??

Why is CNN carrying this story and not MSNBC?

Why hasn't Hillary come to 'denounce and reject' Ferraro's comments???

Is it because Ferraro is a big fundraiser for Hillary's campaign?

Is it because Hillary actually supports these racist comments?

And why aren't the media calling Hillary to 'denounce and reject' the comments???

"Between Geraldine Ferraro’s comments and the Clintons’ nefarious “we’ll let you be on our ticket comments” last week, it’s time America called the “First Black President” and his wife on their nasty "Rosa Parks" strategy.

Calling It as it is: Your above comments are insulting to both women and people of color.

patty,sd,ca - I don't expect you to understand the difference between a meeting and a telephone call, so I don't expect you to understand how you look so silly making that statement.

Clinton DID make first contact, through a telephone call.  

I, personally, am still wondering what Bill Clinton was doing in Canada when he was there just as this "scandal" erupted.

Where in this post is there ANY reference to the presidential candidates?  You folks are so quick in the trigger that you have not even READ the information in this.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?  This is not a political point.  These are people who need jobs.  Quit wasting space on this page and go back to the other posts where you can stink up the room with your issues!

Hillary cannot focus on jobs without being a true hypocrite because she called Canada and told them to disregard her NAFTA stance as a way to win votes by misleading voters.

patty,sd,ca
--FYI, I think that there is a difference between meeting and calling.  She is alleged to have her campaign called, not met.  So, she can deny meeting.

I try not to make a big deal, because it still seems un-vetted and alleged.  I just say that before she and you continue to poke fingers, she should make sure that she doesn't have a similar NAFTA-gate.  And no, I will not simply take her campaigns word on that--they have demonstrated honesty.


**On an additional note, I like her argument ...Vote for me, because Obama might be a smidgeon as bad as I am as a politician.

If Republicans are "so good" on the economy, then, why, under the Bush Administration was the Air Force allowed to sign a contract with FRANCE for their airplanes outsourching 40,000 American jobs from Boeing? By outsourching for the United States Air Force, aren't we outsourching our security also? Way to go Bush (just one more blunder)! So, now you want to replace THAT with McCain who admits knowing nothing about the economy? Good luck with that one.

http://twocanpete.blogspot.com
Well then, they need to focus on China, China, China, because that's where the jobs are at! To argue that we should have to compete with slave labor is to be complicit in a crime. It's just as wrong as it was 150 years ago.

OMG!!


Ted Kennedy.... is eating very very well. He is at least, as big around, as he is tall, "lord don't they help themselve's."  His Marie Antoinette, hippocritic rhetoric, is enough to cause one to regurgitate.  

He does nothing to protect American workers, from the "attack" of foreign labor or professionals.  that are taking low end, and high end jobs, from Americans that need these jobs.  

He is a typical fat cat spoiled rich kid that has grown up and never had to be concerned about a job to feed his family.  Or his overweight fat self.

He needs to get out of the way and take his Heinze Ketchup bottle "John Kerry" with him.

GAME OVER.

Hillary Clinton has proven she can win big in the big states that are the must wins for the Dems in November. It's that simple.

Obama failed to close the deal. If you can't win in a state like Ohio, you can't win the Presidency. In Ohio, Obama outspent Hillary 3 to 1 yet still won ONLY 5 out of 88 counties in Ohio. Those 5 are where the large black vote turned out (86% for Obama). It's the ONLY voting group that Obama won. Those are the facts.

Obama has proved himself to be unelectable and is too risky for the Dems to nominate.

While race is an issue for some voters, the overwhelming issue is Obama's lack of qualifications to be President.

As the Obamarama media spectacle fades, Dem voters have to take a hard look at two things, who's more qualified and who's more electable in the general election?

I believe the answer is Hillary Clinton.

FREE AND THE BRAVE USA - I really wish you would research your information before you post it - Heaven knows it's been posted here often enough as well as on the news - I can only think you really don't want to hear it!  He never refused to acknowledge the flag - the picture you see of him standing at attention was when the Star Spangled Banner was being played.  Many people, including myself, were taught to stand and sign along if you want to.  Not to hold your hand over your heart, except while saying the Pledge of Allegiance.  Senator Obama did accomplish much in the Senate.  One of the writers here continues to list many of his accomplishments.  I'm sure if you went on his website you would be able to find out.  The "present" votes while serving in Illinois has also been explained over and over.  He voted present when he wanted to discuss a bill further and fight for a change in it BEFORE voting yes for it.  He also did this on one bill at the request of Planned Parenthood because they didn't like a portion of the bill, so he fought to remove it and then voted yes.  Funny how you say two tax and spend liberals, when the last time we had a tax and spend liberal in office he ended his service with the deficit paid off as well as money left over.  After George Bush, if McCain is elected, he plans on continuing the tax breaks to the wealthy that Bush put in effect.  This will not help the deficit any, and because the Federal government has no money to send to the states, plan on your property taxes going up again and again like they have been.  Your proven leader McCain has changed his positions over and over - talk about a flip-flopper!  I can't believe you would actually consider him.  He's not the same man he was two years ago!  How do you know which McCain you are voting for?

Paddy,sd,ca
OK, so by denying they (any Republicans) had contacted someone high up in the Canadian government,that lets that liar Hillary off the hook?
Simple pleasure from very simple minds. She is not mature enough to be a president of anything! Sleeping with Bill gives her 35 yrs. of "experience", if you know what I mean.

All you Obama juveniles need to stop complaining and pick up your books and go to school and learn something from one of your non-liberal professors.  But don't worry you won't be naive and stupid forever, for with time you will mature and realize how little you knew about the world before your infatuation with a slogan.

"Free and Brave"--

Quit perpetuating the absolute bs hogwash that Obama doesn't acknowledge the American flag.  He was photographed not holding his hand over his heart during the National Anthem once because his grandfather taught him to reserve that sign of respect for the Plege of Allegiance.  The notion that he doesn't respect our flag is an outright lie, taken out of context and reported as truth by idiots who don't know better--or refuse to know better.

As for his church associations, we're supposed to believe that the people in a congregation support everything that their church preaches?  So everyone who goes to church has to believe/abide by everything that comes out of the mouths of their ministers?  Give me a break.  Obama has renounced/
denounced/rejected Farrakhan's beliefs for years.  Why should he be held responsible for what other people say?  You want to deny him the right to practice religion in the house of God that offers him faith and the opportunity to worship God?

I am not a religious person, but I don't think it's my right to deny someone else the right to attend the church from which they draw inner peace.

Free And The Brave:

Interseting Name. I suppose if you were Black you most liklely would attend a majority Black Church near where you live. No matters one's Church or religion for that matter one does not have to necessarily agree with all that the Church or that Religion expresses in order to find a home Church a person feels comfortable in. I recall as a kid having to say in Mass a prayer that ended with "I believe in the Catholic Church". I always said the beginning and end of the prayer to myself along with the rest of the congrgation but when the congregation got to that part of the prayer I kept silent. Why? Because I believed in God and put my faith in God and even though I felt comfortable in my Church I did not agree with all Church teachings. So who is to say that Obama could not believe the same about his Church? That he out his faith in God and not necessairly in all the teachings of his home Church. If you have a Church do you believe 100% in everything that your Church teaches or expresses?

Regarding McCain. The man has two issues as to why I would not vote for him. The first is his support, acceptance and alignment with GW Bush these last few years after GW and his campaign trashed McCain's wife Cindy terribly Cindy in the 2000 SC primary race. McCain should have punched GW out ratyher then hugging him on the convention stage afterwards. The second is McCain's temper and his "my way or the highway approach to things". As far as his temper he is dangerous. And as far as his "my way or the highway attitude" (similar to that of GW Bush and  Hilllary Clinton), we have had enough of that kind of attitude for the last several years.

McvCain may be a war hero and for that I respect him. But he really has no more leadership experience or ability then Obama. He certainly does not have the right judgement after having supported Bush in this Iraq war and claiming even today that the surge is working. I wonder what you might think about that if you had lost a youngster like some parents did yesterday when 7 of our young troops were killed in Iraq? Mccain is a pusher, not a uniter. We do not need another pusher at this time. That plus the fact he admits he knows very little about the economy, thinks the trickle down theory works and has no desire to at least amend portions of the NAFTA agrement to balance out the playing field in this global economy. Nope Mccain is not the right person for the job at this time. He is a hero to this country but he is a traitor to the people who believed in the 2000 Straight Talk Express.  

Patty, You have bad info.  It is true that Canada said it was the Clinton campaign that called.  There are people who are denying that, including Clinton, but those are the facts.  It is also true that no one ever accused the Obama campaign of calling tell them they meant anything other than what they said.

Every denial that Obama issued was true, and is backed up.

It is true that one of Obama's advisors met with the Canadians.  It is also true that the advisor's message was consistent with their campaign.

READ THE MEMO!!!!!!

Distorting the truth does not help your candidate.  Sooner or later, we find out the truth.

Ted Kennedy is nothing but a cartoon character.

Obama calls himself a "unifier", but to me, actions speak louder than words! The fact he doesn't acknowledge the flag of our country gives me pause for concern, as it should you all also. It makes me wonder what his agenda really is!
FREE AND THE BRAVE USA (Sent Tuesday, March 11, 2008 12:00 PM)

Are you a thinking human being?  Research Obama and the flag issue before you post thereby show your total ignorance on the topic.  Do you really believe millions of peole would be supporting Obama he had issues with the flag.  I just beg uniformed people to inform themselves before sprouting untruths.  Turn off the television and read the solid newspapers, or listen to C-Span or NPR or do your homework and research the net.  It's all there.  You are entitled to your decision but make an informed one.  Good grief!

I think I'll write in Jesus Christ because i don't have faith in any of these clowns to help our Country!! None of the remaining candidates have what it takes to save us from the mess they've all helped to create!

Thank Goodness

Let History be your guide:
1. The Clintons actually created MILIONS OF JOBS and that is an historical fact that cannot be denied by obama.
2. Obama created - ANY JOBS???

Vote as if your livelihood depends on it because IT DOES.  GO HILLIARY and SWEEP PA

And maybe the Dems can explain how raising taxes will create jobs.

What his true agenda is? Well, that tells me you're a republican for sure. Never has any one group monopolized "fake outrage" like them.

You mean, a failed war that has LOST BILLIONS, not misspent, LOST! This doesn't bother the fiscal responsible republicans. The dollar's value has fallen to equal the Canadian dollar, that doesn't bother you. That our country is even a part of ANY torture controversy, doesn't bother you.

Yet not putting your hand over your heart during the Star Spangled Banner gives you pause? Church membership gives you pause? And please tell me who aside from you and Bush believes that you can have a war and NOT TAX and SPEND. Must be why we're losing buckets of cash everyday.

Must be nice in a plummeting economy to have such idle woes.

Gotta job anyone?  I don't know, but I do believe that the last 5 years - have been the roughest I have seen with more clouds on the horizon.

Did anyone see McCain talk about needing jobs for the information age?  Where's he been for the last 15 plus years?  Oh! That's right he has a hundred year plan. And that rhymes with Iran.

And what part did you, Todd from Vicksburg, Mich, play in this "mess" they've all created? WHO did you vote for the last time? Maybe YOU would be a better candidate? Grow up.

Has anybody considered the possibility that Bill Clinton was the first Canadian contact on NAFTA? It's his baby; he spends lots of time up there and he's not a Clinton "official" but he's certainly a player...gives Hillary deniability for something pretty seamy.
This is why no sane Democrat would take her VP spot.

Dawn, what exactly did the government do to create jobs?

When are we going to read about the Hillary campaign committing credit fraud by charging over $3,000.00 worth of services on a staffers Visa card without her consent and then refusing to cover the expenses?

Luther Simms,
Living within ones means used to be the battle cry of the fiscal conservative movement.
Now what we hear is that it is better to borrow $1.00 to spend today so our children can pay $1.20 tomorrow.
This is the borrow & spend voodo economics that the republican party has devolved into and why many fiscal conservatives now support Barack Obama.

Nicholas,
You write and talk more like an ignorant fool than someone who researchs thoroughly. Often I check facts before I challenge others.
If you think she has demosntrated honesty, you are way out of touch with reality. Go to www.factcheck.org or some other sites like that. And if she called -- or her campaign called -- and actually told Canadian officals to disregard her NAFTA stance, you call her honest. Maybe your definition of honesty is the opposite of honesty.

I agree with Disgusted in reference to the following statement that "boy" doesn't have enough experience and he should just wait his turn.  We'll tutor him in the ways of Washington but he'll have to sit at the back of the bus for now.

Calling it as it must be a nut case to use this language in 2008. Sounds like a racist. I hope this ignorant person is not in any position of power or authority.

Since he has taken this approach what will Obama learn from those in Washington? How to play the game of lying, stealing and cheating and to learn how not to get caught? Does Obama have to go to Washington to learn how to deceive people as good as Hillary? Lords know she is great at it. Our government speaks for it self.

I find it interesting that Clinton supporters are saying that Obama is unable to win the big states. If that were true, Why did he "win" Texas? He also closed the gaps considerably in other states before Clinton swung at him with misleading attacks. We can't change the past, but I hope to God that Americans can change the future. That will only happen if Hillary is shown the door.

Diane from Illinois:
Where did you get your information from?
The contract was awarded to Airbus, which is located overseas, but Airbus is collaborating with Northrop Grumman Corp, which is located in CALIFORNIA.
The frames for the planes are to be manufactured overseas, but will be assembled at a new plant in ALABAMA, then turned into military tankers at an facility in ALABAMA.
From an artile I read today "Northrop has nearly doubled its estimate of the number of jobs it will create. Northrop said on Monday its handling of the tanker work would create about 48,000 direct and indirect jobs in the UNITED STATES."

Hardly seems like we've outsourced our security ....


Boeing supporters say Boeing's plan would create more than 44,000 jobs.

Thank Goodness

Hey, Dawn, what about the 200,000 jobs Senator Clinton promised us here in New York when she was elected in 2000?  US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that we lost 26,500 jobs during her first term!

...but that was Al Gore's fault for not beating W, right?

Speaking of jobs jobs jobs, it looks like McCain might have gotten some kickbacks f from some lobbyists for EADS, a European airplane manufacturer, for  opposing Boeing's bid for a lucrative Pentagon contract.  Thanks to McCain's "principled" stand against Boeing, what could have been new American jobs are going to go to Europe instead.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/11/mccain-received-defense-f_n_90951.html

"On January 15, 2007, McCain appeared at Alabama Gov. Bob Riley's gubernatorial swearing in ceremony and formally called for multiple bidders in the tanker deal. The push for an open process had only one true beneficiary, however, and that was the Northrop Grumman/EADS consortium, which was poised to be Boeing's sole competitor.

"A day after McCain made his proclamation, the contributions began to flow. John Green, a lobbyist for EADS donated $2,100 to the senator's presidential campaign. Ten days after that, Michelle Lammers, the "Chief of Staff" for EADS North America, gave $250 to the McCain campaign. It was her first political contribution ever. Less than a month later, the long-time head of EADS' government affairs program, Samuel Adcock, made a $2,100 donation to McCain. And eleven days later, Ralph Crosby, the head of EADS North America, donated $2,300 himself.

"All told, as documented earlier by CQ PoliticalMoneyline, McCain received more than $15,000 from EADS and its subsidiary, Airbus North America. Not only was this the highest amount received by any federal candidate, but prior to 2006, not a single employee from EADS had ever contributed to McCain. Two Airbus employees did donate nearly $4,000 for his 2000 run at the White House."

"It has a bad appearance," said Phillip Finnegan, the director of corporate analysis at The Teal Group, a market analysis and consulting firm. "Clearly, companies contribute to members of congress who are sympathetic with there position. But it doesn't necessarily mean that it influences their position... McCain is a bit of a crusader. And when he has an issue like he had with Boeing, he pursues it. But [the contributions] definitely doesn't look good."

It is funny how people, mainly republicans, consider themselves conservative, even in the economic area. And being liberal is a bad word. First of all, the core of the people that free this country from England were liberal. Second, what do you think economic conservative means? Fiscal responsability is a very important issue if you want to be conservative. And look at Bush government? I am 100% against the war, and in general against any war. But if you, conservative, ask any expert, they will tell you that you never cut taxes during a war. And McCain, who wants to keep going with the war forever, wants to make Bush's tax cut permanent. So, if he is fiscal responsible, which social programs he will cut? Will be education, health, tell me. Bush is sinking the country. This damage is going to be paid by some future generation. Your kids? Your grandkids? So, please don't pick conservative when you want  

Jobs, jobs, jobs are going, going, gone, due to Dubya's horrendous mismanagement of the economy, by basically giving it to the rich to rape and plunder, leaving the rest of us high and dry and increasingly unemployed.  I STILL haven't heard Jerry from
Corpus Christie explain how that happened...

the article you had last week about Obama's 'step" grandmother stated she said obama's grandfather was Islamic but everyone seemed to overlook that bit of news...........

I'm guessing people like Felix missed the article on MSNBC awhile back that because the wealthy are buying less it is affecting jobs.  So tax the  wealthy so they buy less and that won't affect jobs?  Hmmm interesting concept.  Should we start teaching our children to not be too successful because if you are, people will hate and punish you.

McCain has absolutely no interest in the economy and the growing economic crisis whatsoever. He seems to think the US economy is a giant ATM machine that he will be able to get limitless amounts of money from to pay for the many wars he wants fight if he becomes president. Aside from the fact that the Iraq debacle has served only to diminish respect for the US in the world and increased hatred for us among muslims, we just can't afford the obscene costs in lives and treasure of these obscene wars anymore.
