Obama's Lame Claim About McCain's Money

I just hope the American people wake up before is too late; Obama is just a puppet that can't even speak without the teleprompter. People: this is a rookie senator who has no clue about national security or anything else. Every time he answers something I can???t stop laughing about his ignorance. A lot of people is blind about the hope and the change???What changes senator Obama? You are going to bring back all those people from previous administrations. Why do you have so many anti-American friends? Oh I see, they are not the people you knew, they have changed! Who are you going to trick?

Of course Obama has a lame claim. He's lame period. When he wins the next few years will super suck but at least I can get a barrell of laughs saying I told you so to anyone that voted for him. Not sure who that is though since I know no one stupid enough to vote for that phoney racist and sexist.

You have two choices for president:

The first one has one of the longest lines of political experience in history. He is exceedingly popular in congress. He also volunteered to defend the our country in the US Navy.

The second one has no real political experience outside of Illinois. He is tall and lanky with big ears. He even lost a few of his first attempts at gaining political office. He is an excellent speechwriter and orator. He is a good attorney and has a successful law practice.

So which one would you choose?

This is a trick question because both were already Presidents of the United States. The first one is the 15th President of the United States, James Buchannan. He is the President who mired us in the Civil War by declaring the action illegal but doing nothing when the south decided to seceed from the Union. He is largely considered by historians as being the worst President in American history.

He was followed by the other man who became the 16th President of the United States: This man is credited with the end of slavery, the end of the Civil War, and unification of the nation. He became president at a dark time when our country was deeply divided over very polarizing issues. He had no experience in Washington prior to his Presidency. His name was Abraham Lincoln and he is widely considered by historians as one of the best Presidents in American History.

Sound familiar?

Has anyone seen that commercial with the lady with the baby talking about how John McCain cant have her infant for his "Hundred Years in Iraq"? What a crock of ***. Im not a fan of the way things are going in Iraq, or much that has happened in recent years, but come on Moveon.org or whoever the hell made that commercial, thats just retarded.

One word: Swiftboat

More Obama slick rhetoric. Not to mention the fact that he has yet to define all this "change" he's spoken about, let alone how he will accomplish it. The way I see it, he's where he is for two reasons: the media is in the tank for him, (anyone remember Hillary?) and he has the ability to stand at the podium and speak eloquently for 30 minutes and not say a word.

In the end, Obama is willing to insult the intelligence of 49 percent of the people if he thinks he can fool 51 percent of the people. I hope all those climbing Barack Back Mountain can see through him.

He is the typical Chicago/Washington politician... CORRUPT and BEHOLDING TO EVERYONE. What a liar. He compromises everything to win. But he claimed to be above that and ends up being the worst we have ever seen. Even worse than Bush.

What a shame that he is so corrupt.

John McCain is going to lose all Red states this elections GA,VA,FLA,NC, and all Coastal states with his stupid Offshore drilling,We know we never get this stupid idea 10 yrs if sucessfull LUCKY to found even one oil well from hundred of drilling activity takes place.THAT IS THE CHANGE WE ALL WANT. This is the first time I donated to a presidential campaign and will continuet to do so until Barak Obama gets elected!
here has never been a more publicly financed campaign than Barack Obama's with more than one and half million american citizens donating on average less than $100 a piece to attempt to change the process and elect a candidate not controlled by special big money interests.

The current system is so corrupted by 527's and PACs that traditionally spend millions supporting a lying strategy for Republicans that Obama would be a fool if he handicapped himself by limiting his ability to fight back.I have to ask - McCain has taken three different positions in just the last 6 months on public campaign financing for his own campaign, lying in loan applications during the primary when he went bankrupt being the most glaring and possibly criminal example. Why is ABC repeating the McCain mantra on Obama and not pointing out the hypocrisy of McCain himself??

John MC Cain has FREE AIR time 12 hours a day by Republican Radio,.Only a certain demographic listensing. 85% of republican radio listeners are white males with low income ad education levels. They are easily manipulated to believe that all of their problems and failures are caused by" liberals" "the media" and "any other minority group" . These low skilled , low income whites are the only group that is gullible enough to believe such drival.

At least Obama doesn't chase lobbyist skirts like McBush did to raise money in the past.

This focus on the PAC's and lobbyists part of Obama's reasons is disingenuous in that it ignores the following:

If Obama had accepted federal funding, the RNC (and the 527's) could have spent whatever it wanted to support John McCain. Given that the RNC is considerably richer than the DNC, John McCain would have enjoyed a financial advantage over Obama. Basically, the Republicans would have been able to spend ten times as much as the Democrats on the election (as it currently stands, the RNC has $40 million cash on hand, and the DNC has $4 million cash on hand). Did you really expect that Obama would agree to a system where McCain would spend more money than Obama. Why aren't you reporting that? Why focus on a relatively unimportant part of Obama's message and ignore the most important point: that the campaign finance system as it currently stands is broken. McCain knows it but still plays the "innocent" game, knowing full well that Obama could not accept the Federal funding without resulting in a financial disadvantage to Obama.

I, for one, am glad he decided to call the system for what it is, and to agree to be financed by the American people. Go Obama! :)

"haliburton and friends in iraq have taken billions of dollars from taxpayers and bush's war has taken another one half trillion so why is obama so snooty in objecting to do the same thing"

You really don't know what your're talking about. I worked with Halliburton. The reason they got the contract is because they were the only one big enough to handle it.

Do a little checking before you post.

I was for Obama from the begining, because it seemed he was for us. Unfortunately as time has passed it is very clear, he is using us, and our money, not for us, but for himself. He has proven to me he is just as Rev. Wright stated "JUST ANOTHER POLITICION". What he is doing, he acuses everyone else of doing, and most of the time they arent, but he is. He seems to feel he can blatently do whatever he wants, and we are too dumb to see it. He has clearly become a liar, who cannot address the people without a telepromptor, for fear his real motives, and plans might escape his lips. I also dont agree with his You Tube on his plans with the military. He will leave us defenseless. He is not ready, and may never be. He will not keep his word.

1.7% . . ..SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT??? IF JOHN MCCAIN COULD HAVE DONE THIS KNOWING HIS SUPPORTERS WOULD SUPPORT HIM WITH ALL THE FLIP-FLOPPING HE HAS BEEN DOING I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE WOULD HAVE WALKED DOWN THIS ROAD . .. I give a hands up to Mr. Obama . ..he is no fool . ..& thats what Hillary learned . ..and the rest of the country will catch up . ..

I guess Newsweek decided to shift gears when slammed w/ the fact that they were deemed the most liberal news outlet. All this 180 degrees does is make you less credible than you ever were. Try a balanced approach in reorting this election. Bottom line is this- both candidates have had issue with the flip-flop. My pick is still with Obama despite this non-issue. He is the choice for change. He is the smarter candidate. McCain wins on Patriotism but not necessarily National Security. Obama is better for domestic policy and is looking better in dealing with foreign policy issues. Obama/ Biden better for the US than McCain/ Romney/ Bush.

this article is basically a joke. So he opts out of public money. what of it? So McCain only gets 1.7% from PACs and lobbyist. the man has a right to opt out of public financing. he can make many times more without it. to be honest, any percentage of PAC and lobbyist money is percent too much.

attacking calls and death threats are being made on groups who do not support obama. and his supporters have the gaul to call someone else short sited. to say vile remarks about anyone esle because they dont support their candidate is what is really vile. death threats !!! whats up with that people. that is the type of thing you are supporting?? i see the change you speak of but its not a good change. we all watch the news . we know whats happening out there. death threats against someone just because they dont like your candidate is just a bit extreme. and you wonder why people are scared of this guy?? if he has supporters that are willing to kill people if they have a different view?? this type of fanatical response is only going to hurt obama. and his opponents see more and more of this fanatism everyday. what is this country coming to when you have theses type of fanatics in it.???
