Newsweek Originals: Politics Video

It's sad to see some people don't look at both sides. McCain is a big hyprocrate! Also the some media like Morning Joe being bias. McCain brings up Rev. Wright speech now that he is behind though McCain also has ties with a Pastor who says Hitter was doing GODs work and nobody is looking too much about what that guys said. McCain was right there when the guy made that comment while Obama was not there when Rev. Wright made his comment! McCain says ou can't be responable for other people actions then why bring this up??? Mccain has also state through some rallies while some people in the rallies yell out threats and offensive racial comments while he smile with a grin though Obama has not! McCain has apologized after it was brought to his attention.

McCain also brings up William Ayers when McCain knows a guy who not only has done terrorist acts and tried to assasinate someone and went to prison. McCain says he's ok because he has paid his debt. hyprocrate! Obama could of ran ads like him but is a better man. McCain is also stealing slogans with the "Change"! First McCain was all for Bush now he is not! McCain has changed his tax plan and health care so many times more than Obama! Some people blindly see this!

THE ONLY THING I LEARNED FROM THIS POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IS THAT THE PRESIDENCY CAN BE BOUGHT AND IT IS RIDICULOUS. EVEN FOR THE 600 MILLION DOLLAR MANM HE BARELY WON. JOHN MCCAIN IS A HERO AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELECGTED. OBAAM IS AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON WHO WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO GET WHAT HE WANTS AND HE HAS MANAGED TO FOOL THE AMERICAN IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR HIM..

I CANNOT CALL OBAMA MY PRESIDENT. HE IS A MANTRA FOR HATE.

This has been the most negative campaign I have ever witnessed. I have never seen anyone use so much venom and hate as a means to pursue power.

He sent the media after Joe the Plumber for asking a question and smeared Joe to the world. Citizens are off limits.

What happened to Jessica Hughes in Texas shows a pattern of shutting up the opposition with excessive force.

Until Obama's campaign:
I have never heard anyone defend a stupid politician by attacking a baby with Down's syndrome. I have never heard anyone defend a stupid politician by dissing a vet who couldn't raise his arms because they were both broken during his captivity in Vietnam; I have never heard anyone defend a stupid politician by smearing a pregnant teenager; then having the audacity to play the race card to defend his stance. The hate should've stopped at Bush.

I'm saddened that Obama pursued "tolerance" with hate. I'm saddened that his taxation to benefit his lobbyists will be imposed heavily on struggling americans and hinder our opportunities and economy, it will infact be the same business in Washington.

I am fearful of a man who hates America so much and has the audacity to call himself "Commander in Chief"; and will lead our troops in harms way. I am saddended that America has become so narcissistic...I am sorry to the world. I am sorry that you can't take pride in the many achievements by women, minorities and immigrants in our country as it has been.

Hope and Change comes from within. The change comes by the people, not the politicians.

A few reasons why I did not vote Obama. I didn't want to vote at all, but that would have been TRULY un-American. I thought they all sucked! Excuse the venacular (sp?) wording.

BUT he is definitely anti-gun rights and if he tries to change that I will fight tooth and nail to stop him. I put too much effort into speaking before the legislatures on C&C - for those who say moderates/conservatives are illiterate - that is CONCEAL and CARRY, to let him change it.

Now, aside from that, is illegal immigration - ILLEGAL, anyone coming in legally is welcome. Giving money to people who don't even pay taxes. I did not check this out thoroughly so it may be wrong. However, I personally, know of a family that gets thousands back each year and he is on disability, but he isn't disabled....well, you get the picture. This is happening NOW, this can only get worse with Obama's answer.

I fear a man that is willing to meet with terrorists and terrorist governments under any pretence. Those countries are frothing at the mouth to befriend us and stab us in the back.

The only thing I agreed with Obama on is pro-choice. I do not agree with his stance on partial birth.

At any rate, I didn't like ANY of the 4. All politicians lie, how do you think they got where they are? If they told the truth, then the only ones voting for them would be those that benefitted from their 'truths'. They have to lie to suck us all in,

This was a case where I wished we could throw the tickets back in the pot and have a second draw!

This election was a disaster as far a the people of the United State should be concerned! Very few people voted on a President that they believe would be a great leader for our country. What they really voted on was, Obama the black man. What i mean is black people have a chance to have a black President, then you had the white people who will vote for Obama so they can believe they are not racist. Life in America over the last 50 or 60 years has changed dramaticly, survival instincts have weekened and socity has changed from the strong survive to the week are in power. Because of this somewhat new american lifestyle we have a large number of people who are easily manipulated and Obama was smart enough to know that. So he spends large amount of money on advertisments especialy with the 18 to 30 age group, well it worked. I believe we are going to improve economically no matter which one got elected. I also believe we will see racisim not disappear but get stronger and more violent due to the media. The media made it very clear people who never voted before in the black community because they never cared about our countrys politics went to vote soley because their was a black man running for President. I didn't vote for Obama because he is a Demicrat, I am a Repulbican. I am white but that isn't what dictated my opinon. I am prior military, I believe in this country and the politics of which it operates. Inform yourself of the canidates, what they stand for now and 5, 10 years ago, what did they vote on in congress and if you are to ignorant or lazy to do that, do your country a big favor and keep your but at home! Black, white, male, or female should never be a reason to vote for someone. You made this election a mockery!

Ignorant and wrongfully motivated people prevailed. If you were one of the many that went and voted for Obama because he is a black man, instead of informing yourself of the past, present, and still to come politics, CONGRADULATIONS! You are what we call secondary citizens. It was obvious if you watched the elections, all night long everyone was making it a racist issue. I heared very few people talk about Obama's issue's, just the fact he is the first black president. How about this, the next presidental elections whether the canidates are black, white, male, or female, because those thing shouldn't matter, only the ones who educate themselves about the canidates and their past and present politics go vote, and the rest of you idiots stay at home! All you did was tarnish America!

Barack obama "promised and made a convenant with the American people".
The first most important priority is getting Americans back to work, jobs,baby jobs!!!.
Reagonomics and Jack Kemp's supply-side economics of monetary interest rate manipulations and tax
cuts; is discredited and repudiated by the current Wall Street melt-down!!!.
Keynnesian demand-side economics is the answer:massive public works investments in roads,bridges, dikes,mass transit systems, etc,etc;to create employment and jobs that will inturn create consumer purchasing power and demand.If demand for goods and services exists;businesses will be incentivised to hire,invest in capital goods to produce and earn profits on their investments!!!.
Now, the trickle-down and trickle-up effect, which will have "a multiplier effect", will be compromised if US-consumers buy foreign(chinese,korean or Canadiangoods and services) rather than USA locally manufactured goods and services.So free trade rather than free and fair trade is "the enemy" number one.Capital wants free trade while labor wants fair trade.The answer is neither but both:free and fair trade!!!.
Second priority, universal health-care for all Americans where universality and free-market based health care is the solution.
Because the youth made the Obama Revolution possible, politics dictates you reward loyalty and principle. Fedaral tuition program for community service is the third must priority.
Green energy and green jobs is the fourth priority which is important to re-generate "Rust-Belt and Detroit"!!!.
That's the convenant or contract with America.And Obama will succeed or fail by how effective he's able to realise these priorities!!!.
Of course the conservatives will try to derail the "change Contract with America" because" the principle of giving more because America blessed you with more; the highest sign of love of country and patriotic deed; has been denounced by conservatives as socialism.Joe the Plumber, the fraud,the plumber with no license,the plumber who is so selfish he evades even paying conervative income taxes;;prove once again the biblical parable when Jesus said: "it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of god".The hypocrisy of John Mccain was that Joe the Plumber wasn't even a rich man but a fraud!!!.

For the one commenting on education I don't see you giving any facts to prove that Obama's "change" is going to help anyone

McCain/Palin 2008!

The media is so liberal it's ridiculous. Sarah Palin was the only thing that kept the McCain campaign alive. McCain's problem was he wasn't conservative enough.

With Obama as President (he will win), It will be my turn to hate America; just like the blacks have been doing for over 200 years. By electing Obama, it shows me just how stupid America has become. 90 % of his voters have no idea what he even believes; nor do they care. They see he's black, and he talks about change and hope , and they vote for him. I maintain that blacks who claim to be christian, would vote for Obama even if he came on National Tv and said that he doesn't believe in God, and that he has decided to become a satanist. A black persons identity ( 99.9% of them) is strictly their own 'blackness'. Their entire focus and identity is strictly that. That is why Obama gets well over 99 % of the black vote. They don't care what he believes in aand couldn't tell u what he really believes in. He's black, and that's all that matters. By the way, the statistic that says Obama has support of 90 % of the black vote is way, way, low. I'd bet my life that in any given group of 500 black people, that you might find one whi doesn't. Now it's my turn to hate on this country and what it's become. The Escalades, drug dealers, and loud rap music will be out in force tonight celebrating their victory. I myself will be wondering how a once great nation decided to forfeit their freedom, and give it away to the worst of what society has to offer. I don't believe in America anymore. It is a complete joke. It's my turn to hate America. The dumbest nation in the world.
