Obama is the second term of Carter, or the first term of Dukakis.

Obama knows all about fundraisers that closed to the press. That's when his 'bitter' comment originated, and all the white middle-class voters exited his campaign.

Like Obama doesn't have closed fundraisers. That's where his liberal elite and 60's radical buddies get together and trash the very fabric and traditions of this country.

I really enjoyed the way Barack hammered "Beggar" McCain about not wanting to be seen hat in hand with "NeoNazi" Bush at a fundraiser. So much for the Double Talk Express's promises of a more transparent administration. Just a bunch of elitists getting together to make their secret plans and trash talk Obama without the media there to report their dastardly misdeeds.

Go Obama 08/12!

Obama ia putting it on 'em! I'm appalled Bush's priorities are to campaign for McCain in the Isreali knesset, and raise money for him too, while his sheep are losing their homes.

Speaking of homes, and candidates:

Bill's hurricane Georges relief, should not be credited to Hillary, just because she told him she thought it was the right thing to do. Sheesh.

The Puerto Rican woman with a child who had been in Iraq, (but is now stationed in Alaska), should have gone up one side of Hillary, and down the other. She voted for the war without reading the intelligence report, so she deserves a real dressing down, by the GI's mothers for her recklessness.

That mother should have driven Hillary from her house, cussing a Spanish blue streak!

I would have loved to see her chase Clinton all around the island, scolding her from one end of the beach to the other!

McCain and the Republican party could care less about families losing their homes. The Bush administration bailed out Bear Stearns, but turns a cold shoulder to struggling families.

"Propagandist" Tucker Bounds knows no bounds on lying about his flip flopping candidate or about Barack Obama's plans. The repugnant ones will never stop lying to the American public because they feel Americans are too stupid to distinguish between their feel good lies and the real truth which betrays their truthiness. He's the new Geobels of the repugnant ones.

McSame is no way the candidate of change like he professes. His campaign is run by lobbyists, AND apparently he's changed his mind (again), regarding his association/affiliation with Bush. He didn't want to have anything to do with Dumbya Bush before, but now since his campaign is almost in the tank, he's going to use the guy for his own selfish reasons. The character of this guy is unbelievable.

Let's see now, the government has taken over the farmers in this country, and now Obama wants to take over the health care, the banks, the oil companies, all energy exploration, and all of the housing market. Gee, what's left? Quite an agenda for a man that hasn't accomplished anything in his life.

Obama's not that far off. In fact if im correct McCain voted to support Bush legislation 100% of the time in 2008.

Third term? I think so.

Obama may not have served his country by donning a uniform and picking up a gun, but obviously he has felt a call to serve this country that is much stronger than most of us feel, and McCain runs great political risk by trying to differentiate the respective ways that they've both chosen to serve this country. We can all serve in our own way, and the way that Obama has chosen to serve his country is just as honorable. And being a community organizer in Southside Chicago certainly is a war in its own way. For his efforts to improve conditions there, he could be called a "hero" just as much as McCain can. Furthermore, McCain was shot down on his VERY FIRST combat mission and divulged sensitive information to the enemy after just four days of interrogation. So much for the many years and millions of dollars our government spent training him & designing & manufacturing his airframe...all wasted on his first day on the job. The rest of his time in Vietnam was just spent figuring out how to stay alive. I certainly am not saying I could have done any better, but I guess for a pilot to be called a "hero" during wartime, all you have to do is show up for work. He received preferential treatment in Vietnam because his father was an Admiral, and because of his willingness to cooperate with the enemy. Is McCain a good American? Absolutely. An HONORABLE soldier? Yes. An EFFECTIVE soldier? Debatable. A Hero? Hardly.

Obama wants to turn the military into another social program. Maybe they (the military) can be turned into a Meals On Wheels program, or they could help old ladies across the street.

Don't know how anyone can vote for four more years of this program. This country is a business,and it should be run as one. Failed policies get the boot, and the CEO's that set them up get the other boot. It's time for this country to be a s great as it can be. Loose the crap, the lies, the subtrifuge and get on with running the country right.

Pretty funny. McCain should turn his back on the President of the United States - But Obama is allowed to associate with racists and radicals. Remember how much Rev. Wright was like an uncle? - only to get thrown under the Obama bus when their was no way out for Obama. OBAMA IS A RADICAL!!!!!! How can he be trusted? Remember how adamate he was about not wearing a Lapel Pin? He's wearing one now!! Are the American people supposed to be OK with that? What will he actually stand up for? -----any way the wind blows------

and everyone posting with some variation of "NoBama"

go here: http://writehillaryin.com/

You can live in your fantasy world (where Hillary still has a chance) with others who think like you, and you won't have to deal with the aggrevation the rest of us are throwing at you... it's like a "Hillary love-fest" in suspended animation.

They've already shunned all MSM, debated writing in Hillary or voting for McCain, and they've kicked out everyone that's pro-Obama (even though one guy put up a VERY good fight)... they won't listen to any reasonable argument for Obama, they make Obama supporters stay "civil" and then trash them to death before they kick them off the board, and even the moderator acts civil (sometimes), but doesn't bother to chastise the worst of the anti-Obama-ness.

I don't know about kool-aid, but they are certainly enjoying the hate trip.

In all honesty, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go there if you have nothing of substance to say as to WHY Obama isn't a good leader or WHY Hillary is better. You'll redeem yourself in my eyes, at least...

I would vote for Hillary if she won, and I dislike the hate from EITHER camp, but the aforementioned site is some of the funniest vitriol I've seen yet.

Thank you for listening. (and thanks for posting this, First Read!)

So much for straight talk when you are hiding out with the worst president ever. Maybe they can go to Cheney's "undisclosed" location next and get some more sleazy fat cat Republican money to smear Obama with.

Someone analysed Obama's caution with Clinton, in this primary as intimidation, and further stated that he appears not to be afraid of McCain.

You must remember that Obama needed to be careful with Hillary, because she is a woman. That is not a sexist comment, it is just the truth. For Barack to beat up on Clinton, as much as she surely deserved it, would have brought about a huge backlash of negative feeling toward him.

I don't think he has it in him to lop off her head, anyway.

McCain, is another case altogether.

It was so closed to the press that they got audio from it.

And white middle-class people are leaving his campaign. It's uneducated racists that were never there in the first place.

OH-IO for Obama — Tue, 27 May 2008 21:59:29 GMT

No Way, You have never seen a candidate like Barack Obama! This is the part we've been waiting for and even people in Duluth GA will have to either be as delusional as the 27% that still think GW is doing SWELL, or you'll join the other 70% aka the MAJORITY opinion in this country. Saying something is or isn't so doesn't make it so. If you have been listening to McCain and then COMPARE and CONTRAST the SUBSTANCE of what you have heard with Barack Obama on the same issue, the choice is CLEAR and it is even more abundantly clear that John McCain is the one who is lacking depth on the issues and shows weak leadership on economic issues. Either way, this is the kind of debate America has been waiting for, there are clear differences besides the race and age of the 2 gentlemen. Maybe we'll see if Americans as a whole are capable of voting for the issues that they agree with regardless of the superficialities of the candidate, i.e. race or age

Ralph in Chicago — Tue, 27 May 2008 22:01:33 GMT

Wesley ... is there a parallel universe where there was a second Carter Term or a Dukakis presidency? would that not have changed history as we know it all together? In 2000 when the winner of the popular vote decided it was best for the country to heal and let the opposition have their day, did they not speculate as to what kind of presidency it might be? Would anyone, including people in the winners party imagine all this happening now? The Golden Age of unity promised by the "winner" of that contest in 2000 ... is it happening?

Experience only counts when it is used with care, respect and conviction ... so far we are only seeing the conviction part in this administration ... and it looks like the presumptive successor wants to continue that ...

Unless America finally decides that it is ok to hold those serving us in high office to account for their deeds and actions ... We are deciding ... and our decision is coming.

I need to apologize for mocking John McCain's inability to raise his arms. I did not know he is handicapped due to the torture he suffered as a POW.

Evenso, I should not have mocked him for having a senoir's arthritic body either.

While I am at it, I need to retract, and apologize for making fun of Hillary's hips. I have no excuse. I am sorry.
