I will not insult our Navy---sorry Dems

35,000 empty seats!  Who better to know what a disasterous war John McCain supports than the Naval Academy attendees.

This should be an interesting general election.

Senator Barack Obama:
 
Good luck Senator in your quest. Please remember  - we are with you to the very end.

          “We are made to persist.
        That’s how we find out who we are”.


                                                             

The problem we have with all three candidates history is the psychological damage suffered. McCain is a product of the Hanoi Hilton and suffers the after effects of the Stockholm syndrome, Obama sufferers from the Abandon Child syndrome as evidence by his novels with a slight tendency of megalomania and Hillary is the classic Megalomaniac with a tendency to suffer form the Stockholm syndrome as demonstrated in her marriage.  
McCain is a hostage of the Republican Party and is always looking for positive reinforcement. He has created a personality character where he stands alone and in bonds with few that suffer the same indignations. He is forever fighting conformity and seeking to live within the system. His conflict is to live within his principles while enduring never ending torture. McCain will is unbreakable, but he will conform out of necessity.
Obama always wants change because he knows no stability. He has searched in vain to connect to a past that eludes him. He is not sure of his identity. Obama has rejected his mother’s family and his father, while trying to embrace that part of him that comes from his mother and father. He is in internal conflict with himself and seeks his due destiny.
Clinton, well it is obvious, She is always seeking self-importance, and She tends to embellish her accomplishments and seeks to be the center of attention. Her fanciful musings as a college students points to a sense of self-importance and manifest destiny.
She is not amused by the common people and married to a commoner. Her marriage is one that is solid, because she is willing to suffer adultery abuse. Clinton’s ambition has imprisoned her in a marriage.
Again, the American republic is forced to choose between people of questionable character. Not one of the candidates has the leadership skills necessary to lead the county into the future with an ever-changing landscape and unknown challenges. We long for the days, not of a Regan or Kennedy, but one of a George Washington.  

I guess it is true that the media treats McCain with kid gloves.  If he fails to make a point (whether purposefully left out or not) the media will make the point for him.  How many excuses can we make for the old man?

Obama would have filled those 35,000 seats.  :)

McCain 08!

Obama can shoot for all the self-glory he wants.  As long as he attains that glory through absolutely incredible judgment on US foreign affairs and economic issues, I beg and plead for him to revelle in his glory!  Bask in and and bath in it.

I mean, really, anyone running for president is after at least a little bit of self-glory.  The only thing that matters- will their judgment and actions allow them to be glorious?  To achieve great heights?

All I know, is that you can't really reach any sort of self-satisfaction and self-glory by re-running a Bush presidency.  That'd just be depressing.  It'd be the absolute antithesis of glory... shame, shunning, outcast.  Those are the words I think every time McCain parrots off another Bush policy he wants to continue.  The Iraq War, the broken economy, propping up big oil... shameful.  Barack deserves a load of self-glory if it means we get to move away from that.

In truth when Rommney first dropped I nearly threw an acutal fit!! I called by girlfriend who I talk politics with daily and told her no way was I voting for McCain, he had done too many things I strongly opposed. But the more I watch Obama and Hillary I am truly afraid, and the more I watch McCain the more respect I have for him, yep he's old, he's set in his ways, but I only see a scary future if either Dem is elected. I think we should all take another look at our Rep. nominee and make the comparison, we can't let the dems have complete control, I don't think we will ever get it back. My husband is a truck driver, we have lived okay, but things are really getting tight now, we can't afford to finance all the programs Hill and Obama plan to force on us.

Lol, McCain is in left field on this one, assuming it really was a dig at Obama. He was a teenager and in his early 20s at the academy.

At that age, McCain was understandably immature and lacking in wisdom. But that age doesn't compare to Obama's current age. Obama is younger than McCain but still in his mid-40s?

I see the Wyoming Governor just endorsed Obama. The wheels are coming off the track Hillary. Take a seat.

That's a small stadium, but its nice. Annapolis in general is very nice. Too bad its surrounded by... Maryland.

(Sorry, a little south-of-the-Potomac prejudice here.)

Here is the best part.  If you are going to hold Obama accountable on Pastor Wright, and call it a “JUDGMENT ISSUE,” then you had better hold Hillary accountable for Bill Clinton, and call it a judgement issue!  That’s right! Yes—I am going there!

Bill Clinton has abused Hillary in front of the whole nation with several scandals that would make the best wife–leave!  Let’s look at Hillary’s judgment concerning–Bill! What is her message to all women? That it is ok for their men to have--“affairs?” Is this her message?  You would think that she would have better "JUDGEMENT" than to stick with this guy. This is a very fair comparison concerning "JUDGMENT"
and one that is very close and personal: even more so than a person's selection of a church!  

In fact, I think we should run to the superdelagates to tell them how this could hurt Hillary’s ELECT ABILITY; because the Republicans will use this as Hillary’s bad JUDGMENT, concerning Bill’s affairs, and many other prior "Clintonian" issues.

Obama, you are too kind and good!  Good Luck

When you were a young man.....

Dinosaurs roamed the earth....


There's still one left....
And it's running for President

I doubt Obama would have filled that stadium....
He is anti-Military.

Senator Hegal from Nebraska is another distinguished Vietnam Vet who makes a whole lot more sense talking about Iraq then McCain does. I'd like to see Obama choose Hegal for VP.

The old guy better be carefull, he's liable to catch pneumonia.

The empty seats, speak volumes. Where is the support for Senator McCain from his fellow naval men?

The pity-poor-me, point was a cheapshot. Accusing Barack of insensitive indifference toward Senator McCain's service to America was manipulative, dishonorable, and showed weakness, not strength. His strategy is woefully feeble. He should have a list, as long as the rows of empty seats, behind him, delineating his acheivements, given he's had 50 years to build his resume. If he had 'em, he'd bring 'em. Instead, he plays the 'senoir citizen, reverse discrimination', strain on his weepy fiddle.

You are in a campaign for the Presidency of the USA, Senator McCain. So far, your platform's selling point is no more than one of entitlement.

Pulling for Obama '08

Firing up the swiftboat here...how do we know that John Mccain was not brainwashed by the commies and planted here to be the real Manchurian Candidate?

The idea that all Democrats are anti-military, or that any President who hasn't served in the military is the same, is ridiculous. Obama has a plan to end the war, detailed plans to ensure our servicemen and veterans get all the benefits to which they're entitled, including necessary mental health care, and much more that could never be described as anti-military. I haven't heard him speak about cuts in defense spending (except the costs associated with the war), but if he did, would that really be anti-military? With the new GAO report detailing trillions in cost overruns on weapons systems, and all the fraud running rampant in government military contracts with Halliburton et al., is a little accountability anti-military? Those funds aren't going to our soldiers anyway!

Nothing mccain says or does makes him presidential. He has nothing to offer. Who ever wins the dem nomination (and neither would have been my choice) I will vote for. America can not afford another disaster for president, as mccain would surely be.

Mcainandunable didn't learn many lessons until later in life....maybe he's just a slow learner, like his mentor, shrub.  His comments on Al Quaeda From Iran--both before and AFTER The Traitor To The Dems corrected his nonsense would seem to reinforce this idea...

Self-glory?  Speak for (only) yourself McCain... if you think Obama is anything like you, then I have two left feet!  
To assume that your own affinity for self-glory in your younger years is anyone elses experience but yours is laughable, if not, presumptuous.  
Maybe there's something to be said about your own hunger for glory in relation to your run for president, Senator Bomb Bomb?

I wonder if McCain noticed that he skipped a large part of his own speech. Did he realize it almost immediately and decide to just keep rolling forward? Did he not notice at all? The answer, for me, would be important. I want to know how aware this man really is of what he's doing on the trail. I want to know how involved he is in writing his own speeches, and whether he knows them enough to know when something is missing.

Rick - how do we know the real McCain isn't still in a Vietnamese work camp, and the candidate we see isn't really a VC colonel wearing a John McCain rubber mask?

The Obamabots shall bare 100% of the blame should McCain beat him in the general.  If that happens, I hope you just shut the heck up in 2012 and let the smarter intelligent faction of our party chose the right electable candidate.
