Good for you, Barack. Expose him for what he is a war monger. I respect John McCain for his military service, but if he's going to start spewing the same fear mongering as that idiot Bush, there is no way he should be president. Obama may not have "experience" but he has judgment and I'll take that any day. I'm 45, I'm white, I'm female and I'm voting for Sen. Obama.

AND MCCAIN KEEPS GOING DOWN!
IS THIS... knowledge, the experience, the background to make the kind of judgments that are necessary to preserve this nation's security.

U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts disagrees with McCain on tankers
Wichita — U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, facing his own re-election battle, distanced himself Friday from presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain on the awarding of a tanker contract that cost Kansas some 2,000 aircraft jobs.

“I am not in agreement with the nominee on this issue,” Roberts told The Associated Press shortly after a meeting with Republican supporters.

McCain has been criticized by aerospace workers for the Air Force’s decision earlier this year to award a contract for new refueling tankers to European Aeronautic Defense & Space Co., the European parent company of Airbus, Boeing’s chief rival.

Roberts, a longtime supporter of Boeing, said he did not expect the tanker issue to hurt his own re-election.

“I don’t know if people will make a decision on that issue alone,” Roberts said Friday.

He also said he did not know whether the controversy would hurt McCain’s chances in this Republican state, which is heavily dependent on aircraft manufacturing. Some of the work on the proposed tankers would have been done at the Boeing Co.’s Wichita facility.

McCain worked earlier this decade to kill a separate deal to lease Boeing refueling jets to the Air Force. Some of McCain’s advisers have lobbied for EADS, but the Arizona senator and former Navy pilot has denied interceding on their behalf during the new refueling tanker deal.

This exchange is why we need to elect Barack Obama and not John McCain. President Bush is like the kid standing on his front porch, holding his football, claiming that he will not play until everyone agrees to let him make all the rules, determine who will play what position, etc... In the meantime all of the other kids have found another ball & are playing without us.

The word unconditional is the problem? puh leaze. Conditions can be broken after a presidential visit. What is the necessity of "conditions?" Preparation obviously is good enough if the fate of the world depended on it. I cannot believe that this whole argument is boiling down to the word unconditional and here I thought it was about meeting with these people at all (which I believe is the more significant point of debate) Conditions, smonditions. When its time to negotiate one of the most significant peace treaties in our lifetimes, "conditions" can go out the door in a minute if it means peace. That's what we are fighting for in the end, no? Or is it oil like McCain has implicated?

We are a nation rooted in a history of sacrifice and achievement, not in candidates who offer nothing but lofty rhetoric and campaign promises.”

Isn't this what all candidates do? Rant and Rave and make promises that most don't keep. I for one am tired of being made promises and hyped up, only to be let down. DO WHAT YOU SAY,,,don't mislead America

The people of this country need to wake up and pay attention, John McCain scares the heck out of me as he should anyone who really listens to what he says or more importantly what he doesn't say. He is a Bush man all the way, towing the party line with no hesitation, no apology and no care for the abyss that those failed policies have placed us at. My God, what is it going to take people? Obama is the change we need, not just someome who can play the game as it stands but who can change to game forever, and for the better for all of us and our children. I fear for all of us if we don't change course as a nation and soon!
