Boy, you guys like to dig McCain on this issue! What about obama's fundraiser in SF? No press was allowed there. Remember the "bitter" remarks about "small town America"?

There's a reason he's not delivering remarks.

Someone might record them. It's taken this neoconderthal a while, but he's starting to learn just how inconvenient modern technology can be.

The more things change, the more they remain McSame

" ...tickets go for $28,500 per person."
--Sounds to me like an ingenious and legal way past the $2,300 maximum. But I honestly and admittedly don't understand campaign finance, nor campaign finance reform.

That's fair. Every second of these people's lives should not be televised.

Mind you, he's having a bad week & he might get some good press being personable at a mix & mingle.

He's trying to focus on economic policy & all we'll remember from this week is that Beer might get vetoed.

These petty personal attacks on McCain's age are getting "old" already. Policy, character, experience, and general philosophy should be the only reasonable grounds to debate. Remember McCain is a vet who has served his country one way or another for decades now, have some respect! Especially from those who tout a "change" in politics.

McWhiplash strikes again — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:53:21 GMT

What's he hiding? I thought he said fundraisers would be open to print reporters. I don't like that Jim Johnson is on Obama's vetting team, but wasn't it just yesterday that McCain was hammering away on his transparency?

I guess if having a bad week shows you up in the polls for the electoral college, and gaining in key states, then I guess JM will be happy with that 'bad week'.

Hiding, hiding, hiding.

Haven't we had enough hiding behind closed doors lately. Nothing good comes of it for the American people. Look at the closed-door policies of the last two administrations and see where they got us!
*********
Yes, Democrat, look where it got us. Mr. Obama calling small town mid-westerners bigots, gun-toting, bible thumpers while in his "hidden" fundraiser in San Fransisco.

Diane from Illinois — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:59:59 GMT

The reason, per the campaign, is that the senator is not delivering remarks -- he will be mingling with attendees one-on-one.

In other words, he can flip flop all he wants and it won't be recorded. I don't care if he WAS a POW, the man is creepy strange.....watch him. He's not right.

Age is a very important issue. I study the brain, and I know that the mind declines with age, and rapidly at old age.
Sure he is healthy, but is his brain healthy? We should require candidates to have IQ tests, and other tests of other thinking skills taken and provided to the public.

McLast graduated at the bottom of his naval academy, and has never been known as sharp. Now his brain is old, and IQ declines with age.

McCains a real navy man and hero and doesn't have to put everything on the news. The news people are all liberals who make lot of money so don't care if a liar Obama gets elected and loses our wars. That would make news to. Tax and spend or a hero who has suffered so much that women from Hilrey Clinton are voting for him.

I am 50 years old,white,female and have two college degrees--home for the summer,not on the clock, so I can freely post and I would like to say I am not any snooty nosed young 'un! I know my mind well and I read exceptionally well. I have concluded that Senator Obama is indeed the only reasonable choice Americans have this fall. Senator Obama is the finest, most intelligent, and most responsible candidate I have ever witnessed. I'm sick of McCain's lies,flubs and boring,mundane drolling!

Sounds like advice from a high school drop-out. Take a college level economics course buddy...I'll take taxes at pre-bush levels than our country paying out a would be trillion dollars in interest a year after a mccain term.

These people will be the same people going "wha happened?" when we face being broke as a nation. If you cut taxes, you have to use PAYGO. Period.

Where have all the McSame bloggers come from. Oh, yeah I forgot they hired them. It started about 2 weeks ago. I have a question how much is McCain paying you. By the way, I'll take the economy from the 90''s any day over the last 8 years. Take a look around dummies, how much are paying for gas and milk? It will be a heck of a lot more if McSame gets in.
