"The 13-minute call continued what has become a common tactic of the Obama campaign -- linking Bush to McCain in several policy areas, a bid to portray a McCain presidency as a third Bush term."

it isn't a tactic, it is just the facts

McCain's foreign policy is no different.

Stay in Iraq, continue to cost us money, lives, and security. That is the foreign policy of McSame.

All evidence indicates that Iran would have neither its current ability nor its current motivation to threaten its neighbors had it not been for Bush policies and actions in the area.

McCain, oh McBush needs to stand down. If his strong point is foreign policy, how does he argue that his presidency/ mission will be different?

He can't...so I am turning the page. GI Bill McBush and Service Members are in greater need of assistance than anytime before. Folks, please check with your local places around this nation to find out how many of our service members are needing welfare to get through the month and many are fighting in McBush's war.

They are not needing assistance from mismanaging funds, they DON'T get paid enough! So McBush wants to continue to hold back benefits to keep the Armed Forces numbers secure for his war.
SHAME ON YOU MCBUSH!

MoveOn.org, sent me an ad called, 'cousins', that they are airing, or plan to air, strapping Bush to McCain, like a back pack!

It is light hearted, and funny, but powerful. Not at all Rovian in style, it is an ad that will not put voters off, but will afford them a comfortable think.

Rest assured....John McCain and the GOP ..will steal ideas from Barack Obama and try to make them their own....Everyone by now, see that all John McCain talks about is Iraq ...nothing esle - he wants to be another warmonger - follow the footsteps of his idiol - George Bush . I am happy but someone sad at the same time that after almost 8 years of the GOP mess the best they can do for a nominee is John McCain - think about it...that's the best and he is not even liked by some Republicans - how in the hell will this man stand a chance. He will bash Barack about his knowledge regarding the middle east - but it will be half trues...he will take from Barack Obama's ideas for the Domesitc front - but change a few words and call it his own. HE will try to tell Barack Obama what he should do and how - so he can feel like he's already the President and give the elusion - Just because he's older - he thinks Barack Obama will take it easy on him - all the while he's going to try his best to hammer Barack in the ground and totally Disrespect him.

None of it will work - NO BODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WHAT'S ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Barack Obama will crush John McCain easy - John will not have the stamina or the information necessary to do anything but create a few flesh wounds.

Thank you and GOD BLESS America

MCCAIN DIDN'T READ THE INTELLIGENCE REPORT BEFORE THE INVASION (NOR DID CLINTON); A TINY MINORITY OF PEOPLE WHO TOOK TIME TO READ IT. REMEMBER 4100 AMERICAN TROOPS DIED FOR NOTHING! BECUASE OF MCCAIN AND BUSH’s WAR!

Bush, McCain, GOP and CLINTON voted to send 4100 troops to there death and for what? That is the real story here!

1. Is Iran stronger or weaker since Bush/McCain’s invasions of Iraq?

2. Has Osama bin Laden been killed or captured since Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

3. Are we paying more for gas now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

4. Is our economy better of now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

5. Is the White Houses creditability better now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

6. Is the budget deficit higher now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

7. Is the Middle East more peaceful now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

8. Do we have more American Solders dead or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of IRAQ?

THE CASE FOR TREASON UNDER THE RULE OF LAW!

Commiting fraud in order to go to war. Treason by revealing Valerie Plame's identity in order to throw people off their trail. Obstruction of justice. Torture. Manslaughter. Propagandizing. Election fraud. Profiteering.

Wow, talk about trying to be underhanded.
IF Obama co-sponsored a bill to say that the Iran Revolutionary Guard was a terrorist organization, and McCain said that Obama refused to vote for a bill that says that the IRG is a terrorist organization, that seems just a bit foul to me.
But, unlike previous attempts, it appears that this campaign is ready with facts and will pounce on "misspeaks" as Jon Kyl excused McCain last week, as soon as they happen.

If I didn't know history better, I'd say Obama is pulling a little Ali vs. Frazier tactic. Letting McCain throw the punches, Obama deflects and as McCain runs out of excuses/talking points, Obama blasts McCain.

A little-unnoticed civil lawsuit in Florida is shining a light on an unusual but hugely profitable Pentagon contract to ship millions of gallons of aviation fuel to U.S. bases in Iraq through the kingdom of Jordan.

The deal involves a cast of influential characters, including the king of Jordans brother-in-law, who is suing Harry Sargeant III, a top Florida-based fundraiser for Sen. John McCains presidential bid.

Al-Saleh alleges in the lawsuit that after he arranged the deal, he was cut out in a scheme meant to defraud him. He claims that he and Sargeant and the third partner, Mustafa Abu-Nabaa, a Jordanian businessman, had invested in IOTC Jordan in 2004. But, he says, Sargeant and Abu-Nabaa committed fraud by forming another company called IOTC USA in Florida without informing him and by channeling the Pentagon contracts through that firm. Al-Saleh is suing Sargeant, Abu Nabaa and the company for $13 million as his share of the profit from the 2005 contract, plus an unspecified amount of profit from the 2007 contract.

The president was leaving an event in North Carolina, McClellan recalled, and as they walked to Air Force One a reporter yelled out a question: Had the president, who had repeatedly condemned the selective release of secret intelligence information, enabled Scooter Libby to leak classified information to The New York Times to bolster the administration's arguments for war?

McClellan took the question to the president, telling Bush: "He's saying you yourself were the one that authorized the leaking of this information."

"And he said, ''''Yeah, I did.'''' And I was kind of taken aback," McClellan said.

"For me I came to the decision that at that point I needed to look for a way to move on, because it had undermined, I think, a lot of what we had said."

Bush's Mideast policies of do-nothing-and-let-Jesus-sort-it-out has resulted in an intifada, an attack from Syria on Israel, and Hammas winning the elections in Palestine. We need someone who wants to engage in diplomacy and some kind of coherent peace process. And McBush will just keep the do-nothing going for four more years.

By any measure, the US is much safer then it was in 2001. Multiple levels of security have been implemented, al qaeda has been defeated to the point now where it is a shell of its former self, and as a country, we're much more aware that there are Muslim extremists that want to destroy not just the US, but all of western civilization. To have Obama say otherwise is just laughable. Obama has a lot to say for a man that has done nothing but advocate a full surrender by the US to the extremists in Iraq. He has done nothing for the security of this country and is against the Patriot Act. Obama has a lot of gall to be critical of people that have stuck their necks on the line for this country while he's done nothing but be critical of those people. It's embarrassing to listen this man babble on and on about things he knows nothing about. The only reason Hamas has grown stronger is from it's PR victories of having Pelosi and Carter interact with them which makes them look legitimate. Obama needs to realize that security of this country is a serious item, and he should not treat it as just another political football.

McCain is easy to define you know the Straight Talk Express!

1. Your sons will get drafted for war with Iran, this how we get out of Iraq.

2. $12.00 a gallon gasoline for your Trucks and SUV’s, more wars for oil.

3. Your homes will loose 50% more of there value, that’s your dumb fault you bought it you can loose it.

4. Father of the next great Depression in America

5. If you get sick that’s your fault. No Health Care not the Governments Job.

6. Pardons Bush and Channey for lying about WMD’s and Al-Qaeda in Iraq

We need some new Bumper Stickers if that will say;

McCain $12.00 a Gallon Gas!

Yes sure do know the answers to those questions Mr. McDonough. They are: no, less influence, stronger,
stronger, somewhat closer according to the NIE Iran has given up its weapons program, and Iran has been strengthened since the war in Iraq started.
There, I hope that clears things up for any Clinton supporters considering voting for Mc(fill in the blank).

S.B. Stein E.B. NJ — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:50:11 GMT

I guess the question that McCain must really answer is what are his plans for talking and not talking. Who would he talk to about what and what goals would be furthered by that. I would like something clear about that.

Obama should also start to elaborate what should expect to be seen in his administration as well.
