Obama: McCain 'passing the buck'

You'd think that Tucker Out-Of-Bounds would be better as this after all of this time. He's a mess.

Notice they never counter with factuals about McCain only snark about Obama. What is your candidate going to do Tucker? Oh that's right....lie!

Obama when you say it’s a difference in policy, why don’t you just say that you are a socialist, and McCain is a capitalist.
Obama the problem with you; is that you really believe in big government and big business.
The reason capitalism is the most efficient economic system, is due to the fact that it’s an adaptable distributed system. Centralized systems, like what you propose Obama are prone to cascade failures.
Just like the cascade failures that took out power in the North East a few years ago.
What we need is more small business, not more big business, and big government. While you and McCain are right in calling for government oversight, what needs to be done by government is set standards and develop investment incentives for small business investment, while reducing the cost of small business developing and producing innovative products. This is possible by creating something of a co-op for each particular industry, with shared labs and equipment. We as a country need to move towards fabrication labs, and move manufacturing from vertical large corporations, to distributed regional manufacturing companies, which produce a multitude of products based upon IP.

This approach will provide diversity much like living organisms and create a much more robust economy. This in turn will create more small businesses, and more jobs, which will lead to a higher standard of living for all Americans.
The government by creating standards and incentives through the tax code can provide both carrot and stick, and force the people who have monies to invest in small business by making it detrimental not to do so.
So Obama as usual you can fool some of the people but not all. America needs real solutions.

What a dirtbag egomaniac McSame is. Old man suffering from mood swings and dementia. We don't need his shaky old fingers anywhere near the 3 am phone OR the 'red button'. He does not love this country - he loves himself, and other rich people just like him. Too bad he is only rich b/c he left his family and married his way up!

Tucker Bounds is like the kid on the playground who used to get picked at all the time. Now he is rolling with the other party and thinks he is one of the big boys only cus they bought him a suit wrote him a couple of talking points and threw in a couple of jabs at the other team. Tucker doesnt understand he is playing for the wrong team or for that matter probably doesnt care. Why should his opinion matter

I wish Obama would tell us his plans for solving anything. Tax increases and rebate checks only go so far.

Here we go again. Obama talking out of both sides of his mouth. Tell us all about two of your top economic advisors being head honchos at Freddie and Fannie. They going to help our economy like that? What a joke.

Now if the media had properly covered Obama's speech detailing his plan to re-introduce regulatory oversight for the financial markets back in March, instead looping Rev Wright videos, and other garbage perhaps Black Monday could have been averted. Instead, MSNBC, CNN, FIXED NEWS, NY TIMES, WAPO etc., etc., etc., all played into the tabloid part of politics, in lieu of looking at substance.

Wake Up People!!! — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:39:46 GMT

I am sooo sick of people saying she has more experience than Obama... Please view...

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 moose burgers, a quintessential American story.

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

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

* Graduate from Harvard law School and be President of the Law Review, and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, flunk out of two of them, you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, 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 3 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. Or has an affair with your husband's business partner...

* 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 your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DUI 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.

Finally... Someone hit McCain on Gramm's push for deregulation.

The thing I love most about Fiorina's gaffe today is that she didn't just single out Palin, but threw McCain under the bus too.

This way they can attack her characterization of McCain without even having to mention Palin.

BObama: But here’s the thing – this isn’t 9/11. We know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out.”

We do? That was quick. When did anyone get the banking execs under oath and question them? I don't recall that. But here we have Barack H. Obama, and he knows how 'we got into this mess'. The man certainly does have powers beyond us mortals. Please Barack, please, explain how 'we got into this mess." And if you start out by blaming it on McCain, then you lose.
