Obama's Lame Claim About McCain's Money

OBAMA'S PLAYING DIRTY POLITICS PERIOD.... HE'S THE BEST I'VE SEEN.... THE FUNNY THING IS NO ONE CAN SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HIM ITS RACIST, ITS BECAUSE HE'S BLACK OR HE HELPS BLACK PEOPLE.... THE GUY IS A SCAM!!... HELPING PEOPLE FIND A PLACE TO SLEEP AND GET FOOD, GREAT THING TO DO, BUT DOESN'T QUALIFY YOU TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!! DON'T BE FOOLED... WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR HIS CRAZY IDEAS ... YOU AND ME & MORE TAXES.... YOU CAN'T CHANGE WASHINGTON STARTING WITH THE PRESIDENT, GET REAL YOU HAVE TO START WITH YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMAN, THE PRESIDENT IS A PUPPET THE REAL POWER IS BEHIND HIM OR HER....

So what! Obama still has the moral ground on this issue. 1-He refuses to accept money from lobbyists and PACs. 2-He has forced the DNC to refuse money from lobbyists and PACs. 3-The small donor, grass roots base of Obama's campaign is the ideal in terms of funding a clean campaign that will not be tied to special interests. 4-McCain already flip flopped during the primary on public financing. First he asked for public financing then after accepting money under those pretenses decided it wasn't enough and as late as February said he was changing his mind. Not only did he change his mind he violated the laws and FEC rules.

Obama going to COLLECTS all back US dollar sfrom middle-east....that Bush given....because of his HUSSEIN name make great impact..........Its econoomical intelligient by Our future POTUS Obama

in the end obama chose not to accept public financed dollars even after saying early on that he would. obama got only half of the democratic vote. the half he got support him regaurdless of anything he might say or do. but the half that didnt vote for him are in equal numbers if not more question his leaership. if we cant believe what he says in small matters its certainly going to make a difference on how we vote in november. throw in the fact that his supporters send death threats to organizations that oppose him into the mixture and there is a lot of caution against voting for him. we all watch the news. we read the blogs. we do so much research on the candidates. what is the point of trying to force someone to vote for your candidate... death threats are in essance trying to do just that. is that the type of change obama speaks of?? i have noticed on this blog that there is no listening on either side. but death threats are going just too far people...!!!

OK, so I was on here earlier fighting it out with "pleasesaveamerica" and others, and I've been watching the arguments, and fellow McCain people, I've come to the conclusion, it doesn't matter what you say, or what argument you bring up, the Obama people aren't listening, nor do they care to listen. All they care to do is taint the minds with their cult following for Obama's CHANGE movement. So, I urge fellow McCain people to talk to your friends and family, join John McCain's website at www.JohnMcCain.com and get involved. Together we can defeat this grassroots movement and put an end to this once and for all in November. We must organize and we must come together, all united, all one, against Obama.

McCain 2008!

your article is a bunch of b.s. the right wing neo con pigs have stooped at nothing the last two elections to attack and destroy for their own personal gain. now an individual comes along who gets money from "real" america that is destined to fight against this lie machine that busted our budget, took us into Iraq to make money for the well connected, and give tax breaks to the rich and infamous. Stop whining and start hoping that the fall of the house of Usher (BUSH) is upon us - our planet, our country, and mankind depends on the realignment of this country to the constitution, the principles of balanced government set forth by the founding fathers, and usurped and destroyed by fear and skullduggery in the "W" machinations. As Mr. Thomas Jefferson said, " a little revolution is good now and then", and it is now time for us all to rise up and revolt, regurgitate this cancer of humanity that has parked its derrier at 1600 PA Ave.

You have missed the most important point, and perhaps Obama failed to drive it home. It is minor that McCain and the GOP may not be funded largely by PACs and lobbyists. They are funded largely by huge donations from people who will be at the Oval Office to claim their due if McCain is elected. The major point is the influence of the 527 groups. Obama is going to need a lot of money to shut down the slime. Getting it from middle class donors like myself, he can shut down the filth and be beholding to no one. If 3,000,000 people each give him $5,000, Obama won't even have to answer the phone when we call. That's how I like it.

One word: Swiftboat

TYLER - The price of oil swelled to another record high Monday morning - before dropping back. It almost hit $140 a barrel - but then fell 25 cents. It appears - a recent increase in oil output from Saudi Arabia -- is not driving down crude prices. Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, who started a bipartisan group called "American Solutions for Winning the Future" held little back at the Texas Republican Convention. He wants to use American solutions to change to the U.S. energy policy.

Simply put - he's fed up with Congress: "The problem is not big oil or the foreigners," said Speaker Gingrich. "The problem is not the Saudis. The problem is getting Congress to do it's job." And that job, he says, is to start using the energy we have. "Congress outlaws every conceivable energy source," said Speaker Gingrich. Gingrich is making his case for domestic drilling by launching a campaign with Actor Chuck Norris, with the slogan: "Drill here, Drill now, Pay less." The campaign is urging Congress to do something now to bring down gas prices. Speaker Gingrich also has thoughts on speculators. "It's people who are betting the U.S. is too dumb to produce (its own oil)."


He sides with East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert -- when it comes to speculators and drilling. "If you began selling off two million barrels a day...we can pump out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It would immediately bring down the price of oil." Speaker Gingrich proposes selling off half of the reserve - now. "Do it suddenly..without telling anybody in advance and punish every speculator."The very speculators, he says, that are betting against America."

I have a hard time understanding why any middle class or blue collar worker would consider voting for another Republican adminstration. I am an upper class who will benefit from continuation of Bush's tax cut for the wealthy and I can afford to wait out a McCain term or two. So by all means impose more grief upon yourself.

Now All RePUBLICAN PARTY are all like ,Bush/cheney/jJohn MCSame//Gingrich all ANTI -CONSTITUITION

In the 1960's and 1970's Newsweek was IMO a liberal magazine- today- judging just by the title of this article- it has gone 180 degrees and is a far right rag. I don't care what numbers you claim. After 8 years of lies from everyone in the dumbya admini9stration, Americans will not accept anything you liars say. In November we will kick all the repugnants possible out of office to bring hoinest government back to America. Newsweek sucks and so does evereyone who voted for the wprst president we have ever had- TWICE.

You're one of the dumbasses I'm talking about. Obama can't speak without a teleprompter? your doofus can't speak with or without one. Take your lousy GED and go back to the hills you came from- pray that we don't shoot everyone too stupid to vote.

I don't get the mccain camp on this - didn't he flip flop on financing earlier in the campaign process. I think Mccain is just pissed because he sees the grass roots support Obama has - raising money isn't and never has been an issue for Obama - and the bulk of the money is from regular folks like myself. I like the way he runs his campaign and he'll make an exceptional president.

I'm also amazed at the idiocy I see in some of the posts. The frothing righties - it's not the dems fault your party has been disgraced by the inept bush administration and the corruption bred in the republican party - you brought it all on yourselves. If you're angry properly direct it to those responsible, otherwise you just look like raging lunatics.
