I think Obama shows good judgment, because he actually thinks things through instead of rushing to be politically expedient. He thinks about how his decision will affect everyone and not just one group of people. That's the kind of person I would like as our President.

McCain waffled all week long.  AND what was the final output of the waffle machine?  A commission to study the situation - and MFI.

Yeah boy, that's a plan you can take to the bank~

Obama took thr time to consult experts, was thoughtful and informed, did not rashingly run his mouth just to say something (like the waffle king)... and Sarah (6 colleges in 5 years Journalism major) thinks she has the knowledge, the intelligence, the RIGHT to put down Barack (THE SMART CANDIDATE) Obama?

This woman upsets me beyond words.  My former college roommate has a master's degree, has worked with over 5000 students through the years AND teaches english as a second language to foreign nationals.  I say we vote for Mary for VP.  Clearly she has a better education and more international relations experience.  And on a good day she can see Canada from her house.

Maybe if Palin did interviews with legitimate reporters, the American people could find out what she really knows.  I'll take Barack over Miss Community College anyday.

Please...someone enlighten me on what the Hell Sarah Palin knows about the complex nature of our economy?

Does she know enough to be calling "anyone" out, much less someone as intelligent as Barack Obama???

I hardly think so.

"Sarah Palin -- go back to your last Moose Kill and leave the important work on the economy to those with some ideas about how to handle it".

ENOUGH of Republicans!

Tell her to go read his plan on his web site. The McCain plan is so simple and small it's insulting.

"Palin said McCain offered a recovery plan this week"

Shame on you First Read for not reporting his plan and shame on Bush for not implementing it -- whatever it is.

Still waiting for Palin's original ideas....btw, Obama did speak about his ideas rather comprehensively. Keep informed, people! This is an important election, too important not to know the fact from the fiction!

Was Bristol and the new hubby of 17 years old there????

Aside from posturing, it's meaningless to talk about plans for what the next president will do.  The whole thing needs to be resolved long before the election, so McCain's proposal is moot.  Obama is being more productive by raising a voice for Main Street and trying to ensure that the future indebtedness of ordinary citizens is only incurred with some assurance of their protection.  

ok I am not talking about what was said  on sep 21 08 but I ask you this is McCain for  helping the homeless, the 13% of people that live day to day below the poverty line but still fight day to day to feed there family, pay the bills, and yet become homeless because they can not pay there bills and feed there familys at the some time. you see I do not have a job any more do to there not being any job here in the state of michigan for people in college but yet I still take time out of my day to help out the homeless keep the kids off the street and away from drugs and I do all this at the wayne/ westland salvation army. I see how people have to live day and night  with no more then $20.00 to there names AND SOME EVEN GET KILLED OVER $20.00 yet the us gov. seems to be only helping there self and the upper class. when is the us gov realy going to help any one  i think when i become the age to run for office i might run and do some thing any thing for the good of the people. you see obama has helped the homeless and is for  the good of the people.I Have read up on McCain and obama and you tell me where beside fight in a war in like the 60s and 70s where McCain has been for the people not just the upper class but all people even the homeless  ( As people loss there  homes and  jobs I'll fight AS people give up on life because they can not pay the bills I'LL FIGHT As people loss there kids because they can't pay for them to live in there homes I'll fight. AS the rich get richer and the poor get poorer I'll fight As the US GOV helps out the upper class stay richer I'LL FIGHT  I'LL FIGHT TELL  TELL THE DAY I Die) FROM A PERSON WHO REALY CARES ABOUT EVERYONE AND NOT JUST MY SELF LIKE THE US GOV THE US CARES ONLY ABOUT THEM SELF AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY WHAT i think about the us gov and how i would like to vote for email me at douglasclarke@att.net any noe and everyone can email me here

So now SP is touting the "McCain Plan". What plan might that be, the one from Monday? Tuesday? Wednesday? While John McCain might feel that he is already in a position to put out "the plan" he is not. SP makes fun of Obama's prudence in not jumping into the middle of what is the republicans mess with some plan. He and us do not have any control over what King Henry decides to do, he will railroad something through saying it is a catastrophe if we don't do something. Oh and how funny is it that Palin ridicules Obama on his voting present. Didn't the Alaskan legislature walk around last session with "Wheres Sarah" buttons since she was always home in Wasilla instead of down in Juneau taking care of business. She is a tempest in teapot!!! At least Obama was there voting, and oh by the way Sarah if you were a student of politics and state politics in particular you would know that the Illinois legislature has its own peculiarities. Alaska is corrupt and Illinois votes present.  

And there she goes lying yet again. Habitual. Obama took the stance that you want a President to take, which was careful, measured and inclusive across party lines to resolve issues with a well-thought out plan that they could agree upon. McLame, on the other hand in his typical bad temperament, went for the trigger finger approach without thinking. "Fire the SEC, no the FEC... no, well let's lay out a plan that even my party would reject." He is so lame and she is good at spreading venom. I guess 5 colleges in 5 years to get an undergraduate degree really does make you at best an attack dog. She is not worthy to carry Obama's coat tails, let alone compete with him.

BTW, I saw the audience and it was hardly tens of thousands. You lying Republicans and those in the media (Chuck!!) who are in your pockets. I remain flabbergasted that you actually drank the kool-aid. I know Tim would be so disappointed in you.

Now this is an interesting look at the candidates...


I'm a little confused. Let me see  if I have this straight.....


* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised  by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."

* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers,  a  quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic  Muslim.

* Name your  kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard Law  School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're  well grounded.

* If  you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black  President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that  registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law  professor,  spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district  with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and  Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate  representing a state of  13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills  and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and  Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership  experience.

* If your  total resume is: local weather girl,  4 years on the city council and 6  years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the  governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to  become the country's second highest ranking  executive.

* If you  have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful  daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured  wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a  Christian.

* If you  teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use  of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of  society.

* If , while  governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in  sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter  ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.  

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who  gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of  her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.

* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude",  with at  least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to  vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the  secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much  clearer now

ok I am not talking about what was said  on sep 21 08 but I ask you this is McCain for  helping the homeless, the 13% of people that live day to day below the poverty line but still fight day to day to feed there family, pay the bills, and yet become homeless because they can not pay there bills and feed there familys at the some time. you see I do not have a job any more do to there not being any job here in the state of michigan for people in college but yet I still take time out of my day to help out the homeless keep the kids off the street and away from drugs and I do all this at the wayne/ westland salvation army.

Palin must not be doing her research before she opens her mouth.  Obama and Biden have started working on a recovery plan that can be found at the following web address:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/economyplan
She says that Obama supports tax increases that will kill jobs and hurt small business, but that's a lie.  Obama's plan supports small businesses with tax rebates, and provides lower income families with a tax credit as well.  His plan also includes policies that will create jobs, not kill them.  Palin accuses Obama of going against certain energy solutions, but he supports a $1000 Emergency Energy Rebate.  She implies at the end of this article that Obama is not about securing our energy independence.  But there is no such thing.  Even if we allow drilling in Alaska, the oil will not belong to this country, it will belong to the private company who obtains it.  Then they will sell it to the highest bidder.  Domestic oil does not mean lower prices.  If Palin has any hope of pulling in voters who are not already on her side, she should stick to talking positively about what she and McCain plan to do, and stop fabricating lies about her opponents.

...And if only Alaska really produced 20 percent of our nation's oil instead of the reported 3.5 percent, maybe Sarah would be a more credible candidate on the stump.

The Obama Trauma is nothing short of a large dose of Socialism to be shoved down the throats of America.
He can't see the forest through the trees.

Maybe it's not all Obama's fault. Reverend Wright had a strong influence. It's like the line from an old Turtles song ... "I am what I am and that's all I ever can be."

America needs more than that.
America needs John McCain.

Sarah Palin again showed her ignorance, she is just full of nonsense and ignorance, Obama said many many times he will cut taxes for people make less than 125,000 dollars a year. So she is complaining for the 5% of americans who will see tax increase, they are the richest of America which she is worried about the most.
North Carolina for Obama

Sarah the Liar forgets to tell that Alaska gets 89% of its state operating budget by skimming off oil taxes that we the consumers in the lower 48 pay. If scamming your fellow Americans at the gas pump makes you an energy expert then she's it!

I have been a registered Independent ever since I was old enough to vote (more years than I care to mention).  There have been times when I have not been pleased with any of the choices on the ballot, however, I always voted.  I have to admit that this year is the first time I have actually been frightened by a presidential ticket.  The Republicans have given us George Bush for 8 years. And, now they present us with McCain/Palin.  The thought of these 2 being elected actually keeps me awake at night.

Uh I was at the Palin event, they gave out 13,000 tickets, but it was NOT sold out. TENS OF THOUSANDS??????   .......I guess you are spinning for poor Sarah, because her approval ratings are tanking....TYPICAL...get your facts straight please...call the Fire Dept there, I spole to an officer who said their estimate was under 10,000 DO YOUR JOB FOR A CHANGE!

Oh Please, this is a woman who won't let the media near her.  Barack gave a press conference with top financial aids standing at his side, that to me is presidential.  McCain's economy package is about a paragraph long. Give me a break.  I will be soooo glad when we won't have to listen to Sarah and John with their flippen lies.  It's getting soooo boring listening to them.  
Obama/Biden 08'

Maybe, just maybe, if Palin knew her ass from her elbow she'd get it.  Being governor of an "oil rich state" that wants to keep it's oil for it's own small amount of people because it doesn't really have enough to share & basically doesn't want anything to do with the other states and would like to be it's own little country, does not a good governor or VP make.  I want to know what she's got to do when she has to actually debate and not just speak memorized words .... although I hear the debate has been made in a forum that'll be a little easier for her!

Who does she think she is???? What makes her so qualified to go after Obama, she should really take a hard look at the dirty old man beside her, and truly question why in Gods name is she even on the ticket?? McCain himself is not qualified to be on the ticket!

If she wants to keep her kids out of the campaign, why does she continuously have them on stage and speakint?  Also, just a thought but why does no one ask John McCain where his flag pin is?  You rode Obama for months on his missing flag pin but no one will ask the same of John?  Is it because he was a POW?  Well that's no excuse.  I tried to listen to Sarah but her squeeky voice made me change the channel.

Kindly see the next article, "No Blank Check for Wall Street."

The distortions and outright lies that come from McCain and Palin are far and away the worst I have seen in several decades of presidential elections. Please fact-check this nonesense.

Drill Baby Drill, with results going on the world market is PalinMcCain answer for Americans to heat their homes and fuel tanks and pay their energy bills????? Sorry I don't buy making oil companies and Palin's family, like the early Bush Family oil dynasty as an answer.

How transparent.  Bring up the kids, who are very polite and the old people will be swayed to vote for them.  Intelligence is not exclsive among the young, you can't fool people into voting for you because your kids have manners.
