DAYTON, OH -- As part of a coordinated multimedia assault, Barack Obama today blasted John McCain for his proposal to have the government buy up bad mortgages, saying it would reward reckless lenders and leave taxpayers</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)</generator><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1522512</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:55:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1522512</guid><dc:creator>Casey</dc:creator><description>&lt;br&gt;Isn't is interesting how the McCain campaign equates the word &amp;quot;erratic&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;terrorist&amp;quot;, saying that they are equally &amp;quot;negative&amp;quot;? &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A hurricane can have an erratic path. Can it have a terrorist path?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain's behavior has not only been erratic, it's disturbing - beating the dead horse of &amp;quot;Ayers&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;terrorist&amp;quot; like a rented mule. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John Mccain is a man who justifies the means simply to achieve an end. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He promises a &amp;quot;civil and respectful&amp;quot; campaign to what we are seeing today (&amp;quot;attacking&amp;quot;) and justifies it by saying &amp;quot;if Obama had done the town halls...&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Obama is being negative using words like erratic&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain goes from being against Bush tax cuts (2003) to being FOR them; against offshore drilling to FOR them; decrying earmarks on &amp;quot;bear DNA&amp;quot; yet voting FOR that bill; continuing to claim Obama will raise taxes on incomes of $32K, when all neutral orgs say &amp;quot;NOT TRUE&amp;quot;; saying the &amp;quot;foundations of the economy are strong&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;crisis&amp;quot; to calling for firing Christopher Cox to suspending his campaign to saying he wouldn't be at the debate unless the bailout passed to showing up at the debate despite it not passing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;how is that NOT erratic? What WORD should we use? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Roget's II: The New Thesaurus:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Main Entry: erratic&lt;br&gt;Part of Speech: adjective&lt;br&gt;Definition: Without a fixed or regular course.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Come on... YOU give me a good word for the actions John McCain's shown over the past 3 weeks...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Synonyms: &lt;br&gt;aberrant, arbitrary, bizarre, capricious, circuitous, desultory, devious, eccentric, errant, fallible, inconsistent, irregular, nomadic, peculiar, queer, strange, tangential, uncertain, unpredictable, unstable, unusual, volatile, wacky, wandering &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ERRATIC fits... Wear it, John. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I like &amp;quot;unstable&amp;quot; myself, but wacky and bizarre are good, too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The GOP ticket: Unstable/Unable&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think I'll vote for the guy who uses a dictionary and a thesaraus, John. AND the one who talks about the economy. And the one who doesn't base his campaign on insinuations and lies. The smart one. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama: THAT ONE.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Not you.</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1522517</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:56:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1522517</guid><dc:creator>Fight Fire With Fire</dc:creator><description>Sure Obama.

John McNasty and his campaign is the lowest level of life there can be. This guy is so far out of it, I've even lost respect for him when he was a pow. The only agenda he has is Mcbush's and if he thinks that will work, I have a road to nowhere in Alaska I'll sell you stock in. Can you imagine how he would govern the country? Just as erratic and shooting from the hip as he runs his campaign. I don't know how anyone could consider voting for this ticket. His running partner isn't any better but, then she isn,t the brightest star in the sky either. His wife, just as erratic. She should look in her own backyard first . Mcnasty voted no on a bill to fund the troups also. Because that one had a timetable. They use the excuse it was just a symbolic vote. He would have still voted no on it because of the timetable factor, if Mcbush intended to pass it. Very poor excuse. Mcnasty is basically a hypocrit. He stated initally, he want the campaign to stay above board yet he has been playing dirty politics from the beginning. Obama has done nothing more than counter and stays on message at all times. Since Mcnasty has nothing to offer the country, he is like a little kid who, just got beat up. Well Mcnasty, take your ball and GO HOME!!!!!!</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1522940</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:39:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1522940</guid><dc:creator>Political Sky</dc:creator><description>Did anyone else catch how whiny McCain was at the debate?? &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;If... if he gets more time...

To help the home owners in trouble, work with the lenders. The lenders should reduce the principal and the interest rates, so that the home owners can stay in their homes. If they go bankrupt, the lenders will not benefit anyway. This is what is in the bailout package. For tax payers to take on this burden makes no sense. The lenders should take on this, because they were irresponsible in their lending practices in the first place.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All this nonsense about Sen.Obama being a terrorist should stop. He is a sitting senator representing Illinois and won 18 million votes from Americans in the primary (more than Sen.McCain and definitely more than the 140k vote that Gov.Palin got). Respect Americans choice.

Mccaain, Elected to the House in 1982 and at a time when he was on the board of Singlaub's council. This council was part of an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. &amp;nbsp;McCain was among Republicans on Capitol Hill expressing support for the Contras, a CIA-organized guerrilla force in Central America. In 1984, Congress cut off CIA funds for the Contras.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Months before the cutoff, top Reagan administration officials ramped up a secret White House-directed supply network and put National Security Council aide Oliver North in charge of running it. The goal was to keep the Contras operational until Congress could be persuaded to resume CIA funding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Singlaub's private group became the public cover for the White House operation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Secretly, Singlaub worked with North in an effort to raise millions of dollars from foreign governments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain has said previously he resigned from the council in 1984 and asked in 1986 to have his name removed from the group's letterhead.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1523090</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:56:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1523090</guid><dc:creator>ffoffeds, Seattle WA</dc:creator><description>The McCain campaign is appealing to all the hate mongers. &amp;nbsp;Look at the people coming out of the woodwork yelling &amp;quot;terrorist&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;off with his head&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;kill him&amp;quot;and one of the earlier comment on this page &amp;quot;and you're black&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have news for the people that think this way, &amp;nbsp;there's many more intelligent people than their are ignorant people like you. &amp;nbsp;So enjoy your hate speach for another month until McCain loses badly.</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1523096</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:57:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1523096</guid><dc:creator>Mike, Westwood, MA.</dc:creator><description>There was a time when I REALLY wouldn&amp;quot;t have been concerned which candidate would have been voted into office (I'm a staunch idependent!), until McCain picked Palin as his running mate, and I began hearing the BS come out of Mac's mouth (and his campaign-you know, the one that was NOT going to be negative). </description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1523097</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:57:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1523097</guid><dc:creator>just the facts</dc:creator><description>We just spent a trillion dollars on bailing out the bad mortgages in this country.

W. Bush. In a flashing signal of desperation that could have been read from the next galaxy, Bush and his surrogates spent so much time attacking the media, giving out buttons and bumper stickers saying &amp;quot;Annoy the Media -- Re-Elect Bush,&amp;quot; that Republican audiences on the campaign trail were ravening at the sight of the journalists accompanying the patrician-raised Bush 41 to campaign rallies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One day in Oregon, as I recall, a network crew was set upon and assaulted. Other journalists were shoved. We all were hollered at: &amp;quot;Tell the truth! Tell the truth!&amp;quot; One hothead in Vineland, N.J., seemed within a couple of seconds of taking a swing at me as I walked by, laden down with a computer and other shoulder-mounted gear. A red-faced young man walked into our filing tent in the Pacific Northwest and ranted, glossolalia-like, at the top of his lungs, the spit flying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The vibes got nastier by the day. Finally, one evening on the road, one journalist made his way to Bush as the president was dining with staffers and beseeched him to tone down the rhetoric before hate led to tragedy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1523304</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:34:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1523304</guid><dc:creator>Molly</dc:creator><description>Obama is RADICAL!!!! - AND his &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot; are very questionable - and ACORN are corrupt gang members that obama encourages to corrupt our voting system.&lt;br&gt;McCain/Palin - a Team we can TRUST!</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1523305</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:35:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1523305</guid><dc:creator>francesca, nyc</dc:creator><description>To Casey - Excellent! &amp;nbsp;You've defined the dishonorable McC quite well -- or, rather, you've spelled out for him just how he has defined himself. &amp;nbsp;Anyone who can't see that he is more and more a doddering fool, befuddled, without intelligent thought, must be suffering from having their vision blurred by other issues. &amp;nbsp;Could it be color?? &amp;nbsp;Could it be their own lack of intelligence and judgment?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is a sad and curious thing that some of the most deprived, those in the greatest need for intelligent leadership, keep voting against themselves and their own needs in favor of mythic mavericks, or some manufactured iconic image. &lt;br&gt; (A rally today in the Midwest, sounding reminiscent of 1930s Munich fascists, railed against what they perceive to be liberal socialists. &amp;nbsp;They fail to see that there is, indeed, a kind of socialism at work today -- but only for the wealthy, with govt. bailing out Wall St., and telling the rest of the population &amp;quot;Caveat Emptor&amp;quot; (buyer beware), &amp;quot;you can fend for yourselves. &amp;nbsp; And by the way, we'll send you the bill for whatever it costs for us to bail out the big guys.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp; America, wake up! &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1523321</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:39:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1523321</guid><dc:creator>Abby</dc:creator><description>Obama is an Arrogant, Radical FRAUD - I will NOT vote for him - and Millions of Americans feel the same way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wright, Rezko, Raines, Ayres - ACORN - are we to believe he really did NOT know anything about these corrupt guys??????</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1523330</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:41:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1523330</guid><dc:creator>just the facts</dc:creator><description>Pat, Chicago...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;so let me get this straight...

I believe this kind of behavior an example of the financial market over the world. &amp;nbsp;There is a void of stable leadership. &amp;nbsp;McCain is contributing to this instability by negative attacks on the character of Obama. &amp;nbsp;When the parties attack the integrity and the character of the potential President it sends a message that that person may be the President is not trustworthy, dangerous, risky, not supported of our military, a terrorist, stupid, and not qualified. &amp;nbsp;They are in essense saying the person will representing the United States does not deserve to be President. Why would a fellow Senator disrespect another Senator to the world. &amp;nbsp;In a sense saying we elect to be a part of our Legislative branch, a person who possess these kinds of characteristics. It says more about the character of Senator McCain. I think these kinds of negative personal attacks on the character of our elected Senators weakens our National Security, and affirns some dangerous idealogy of those who want to bring harm to us, in our own country and around the world. &amp;nbsp;What will happen if Obama wins, the negative character asassination will hamper his ability to get things done. If McCain wins because he has used these tactics, but doesn't have nothing to offer the people, he will not be able to get things done, because he does know what to do. &amp;nbsp;The same goes for Sarah Palin. &amp;nbsp;The people who ignored this erratic and uncertain behaviors, deserve the chaos they will have if McCain/Palin are elected. The finacial world is responing to the possibliltly of a erratic and uncertain McCain/Palin administration. &amp;nbsp;people need to thnk more globally, it not just putting America First, the world is bigger.</description></item><item><title>Obama: McCain 'erratic and uncertain'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1522467.aspx#1523357</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:49:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1523357</guid><dc:creator>Is that you John McCain?</dc:creator><description>Stick it to them Obama, ha ha ha &amp;nbsp;If he is elected, thats exactly what he will do!!
