    Comment: And McBush gives us nightmares, this country will be in turmoil if McBush gets a third term of the same failed policies and approach to domestic and international politics. Yeah McBush lets see if we can get every country hating us and wanting to destroy us. If anyone can do it , it is you and the McBushites.

    Comment: Yeah, vote Mc lies and you will get what you deserve!! If you can't see that Mclies is a weirdo, you are an idiot just like you were when you voted for Bush. Mc Cain will finish the job Bush started, which is bring this country down.
    Maybe it is time for you to listen at the french. They were right all along on the Iraq war and they are certainely right in their choice of Obama. I will vote Obama. Mc Cain is a dangerous freak who is as arrogant and ignorant as Bush is of the rest of the world.

    Comment: Obama may be preferred in Europe, but he is too liberal for United States. Is it not noteworthy that all of the same people, who appeased the communist dictatorships during the cold war, are supporters of Obama?

  • Posted By: pyramid116 @ 08/01/2008 1:30:23 PM

    Comment: Yes, how impressive. Big European crowds, whether already there for a rock concert or not in Berlin.

    Those are the descendants of the same German masses who elected Adolf Hitler Chancellor of the Fatherland. My, how politically astute they are to admire a speech!

    Sieg Heil!

    Comment:
    With all the riots in the suburbs of Paris a couple of years ago, I bet Obama seems like real hope and change to the immigrants and working classes in France - at least the minorities. The Americans who support McCain are obviously quite jealous of Obama's potential for success in diplomatic Foreign Affairs.

    I have to laugh when I hear the media lauding John McCain's "strength in Foreign Affairs" - all he knows is war, and his diplomatic skills seem totally underwhelming given his lackluster campaigning in the US. I can't imagine a more boring president, except possibly Dole. I think McCain could be even worse, though.

    Obama for President - Is there any other choice?!

    • Posted By: tiredofobama @ 07/30/2008 23:20:47

      Comment: Absolutely there is another choice. John McCain is an infinitely better choice than Mr. Empty Speech Obama. What are Obama's qualifications? Three years in the U.S. Senate and most of that time he has either been running for President, hawking his books: The Audacity of Hopelessness, etc., and not holding committee meetings on Afghanistan. Before that he was a "community leader?" Really qualified to lead this country. Yet so many of his followers act like they are watching a romantic epic and cannot understand why the rest of us not mesmorized. As far as Europeans opinions, who cares? I didn't know that we were like junior high kids trying to win a popularity contest. J. Fred Muggs would be a better choice than Obama.

        Comment: WOW, that's a lot of well CRAP! Jonh McCain spent 5yrs in a camp doing 32 propaganda films so he would NOT be "tortured" his nickname was "The Song Brid" the Vn gave it to him, cute huh. John McCainhas spent years turning his back.
        Turned his back on his father and graduated 894th out of 899.
        Turned his back on MIAs when he declared there were no more there.
        Turned his Back on his first wife and children for a billionaire (who can blame him right).
        Turn his back on our POWs when he swore he would never politicize his status.
        Turned his back on the people of AZ with his involvment with "The Keating 5".
        Turned his back on the troops in Afghanistan, when he siede with Bush on Iraq.
        Turned his back on our troops and their families when he NO VOTED the new GI BILL.
        Turnd his back on himself when he SWORE he would run a clean campaign, and now he is even turning the stomachs of republicans.

              HE WANTS YOU TO ACCEPT THE LUDICROUS POSITION THAT THE IRAQ WAR WAS A GOOD THING AND THAT THE ECONOMY IS JUST GREAT.

              WOW ! THE MAN WINS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION AND HAS TO PRETEND BUSH WAS A GREAT LEADER AND THAT ALL THINGS ARE JUST WONDERFUL ------- NOTHING LIKE A MAN OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY.

    Comment: Sturn will be welcome here in America. I hope he stays long enough to learn what he can do with unlimited opportunity. Of course I come at this from the republican side of things and I do not support Obama but I am glad that he is inspiring people with his candidacy.

    It would of been nice if he stopped by and said Hi to the troops while he was in Germany. Also I heard from some people in Afganistan he completely ignored the line of enlisted men waiting to greet him and headed straight indoors to speak with the generals. In his defense he may have been under the impression it was dangerous outdoors but the soldiers were very disappointed. And people present for his supposed basketball game said it lasted for the camera and went away with in seconds of the camera light shutting off.

    • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 07/30/2008 12:58:57

      Comment: I like what you wrote about not supporting Obama but appreciating that he is inspiring people. That's great, and should have been something like McCain's line when Obama returned. It's a pity he decided to focus on this flap over Obama not seeing the wounded soldiers in Germany - I think it just looks like sour grapes and stretching the truth.

      Obama was set up by the Bush Administration (Pentagon) to look stupid on the last leg of his German trip - after he gave another great speech to 200,000+ people, 20,000 of whom were Americans, it must have been difficult to top that success!

      Thank you for being so honest...

        Comment: So let me understand this; Obama decides to diss the troops and go play basketball (btw, all reports say he stopped playing the moment the cameras stopped rolling), and somehow its GWB's fault!?

    Comment: Many of us who live in the USA feel much the same about the fate of those been perished,we know nothing have been done to salvage their pride and dinity.It has been over six years since that small band of terrorists attacked the World Trade Centers, and our country has never been the same since.

    Our land of freedom and good will has become a land of suspicion and fear. It seems like the terrorists won.They planted the seed of fear in the hearts of our people.Our people allowed that seed to blossom into paranoia, then chose weak leaders willing to sacrifice our sacred freedoms in the name of security.

    Immediately after the 911 attack, people began to attach US flags on their cars. They pasted small signs on their window and auto bumpers with sayings like, "united we stand", "we shall never forget" and "God bless America".By the way all these stickers are made in China. We call this "bumper sticker patriotism". These same people cowered at home, afraid to fly in any airplane, terrified of another attack.

    They became suspicious of all strangers including creating many bad experience obstacles that violates their decency at our airports.We scares the foreigner Businessman and Tourists to come our freedom land insists like they looks like a bunch of criminal .Our economy becoming worst day by day since.

    The foreigners and the World have the bad impressions that America seems under Military Rules.Who should we blame but we ourselves,we all keeps talking miltary,military and military 24 hrs a day .We have nothing to say but bomb,bomb,bomb even at our Presidential Election.

    We allowed ourselves becoming far apart with Rest of the world.

    Opportunistic politicians promised to restore our security by enacting precautionary laws and regulations.

    Slowly, they robbed us of our essential freedoms with FISA etc, all in the name of protection.

    Anyone who spoke against them was labeled a coward, a traitor or a fool.
    I do not despair. Democracy has a resiliency that allows it to heal itself given enough time. The people of the USA are already beginning to awaken. They realize that our leaders have eroded our basic freedoms in the name of security, and they do not like it.Our last election was a beacon of hope but yet we be decived.

    Many of the conservative exploiters of fear that we intends removed from office.

    Slowly, our politicians are beginning scares about our awakening to restore our cherished freedoms.

    We are not a people who believe in aggression, in torture or in the violation of human rights.The foundation of our government is based on "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".

    We were once the beacon of hope for oppressed people in other lands and we want to gain that title back. Most of us can see that we erred in allowing our freedom to be sacrificed so cheaply.

    I think we will fight to restore it.Our courage is slowly returning.

      Comment: No. Good thing our President has stayed within the constitutional boundaries of the executive branch, while still aggressively prosecuting the war on terror. I often imagine Gore or Kerry cowering under the desk in the Oval office, saying, "What do I do?" "How can I further appease the left-wing maggots and their mindless robots?"

      Here is a question for you; how did your Messiah-Boy manage to garner so much media adulation in Europe and then LOSE points in the major polls to McCain?

      That takes some talent.

    I don't understand Obama's whole political stance, but personally I don't understand why anyone would want a person who does not support what we are doing, and does not say the pledge of allegiance and turns his back when it is being said, to be president. Why would anyone want someone who may in fact one day make this country steep to its lowest point in history. Why would we want someone who will destroy this country to be the president of the united states of america? I don't understand why anyone would want that......

    Comment: Europeans do not vote here. Thankfully. They also do not understand America and maybe never will.

    America is finally starting to ask the good questions. And people are figuring out that Obama is the biggest used car salesman (with a nice smile and good delivery) the media has EVER tried to shove down America's throat.

    The media "lovefest" to Europe was classic and most Americans rolled their eyes while the Germans and French were kissing Obama's feet.

    McCain is the better man by a long shot and he is SO much more qualified. He was clearly that on Larry King Live tonight....

    But....here is another fact some Americans have forgotten and the media has ignored for two months:
    McCain never had a close "20 year relationsip" with a bunch of racist friends like Obama has, no matter what liberals will try to claim just because McCain is on the GOP ticket.

    There are some big time Black American bigots and they are Obama's friends. The "good reverand" Jeremiah Wright is a bigot, no different from Archie Bunker or David Duke. This is what Americans are really talking about at the water cooler folks. Believe it. And Wright's close friend is Louis Farrakhan, THE biggist racist in America. Birds of a Feather.... Hello????

    Most Jews and many Hillary fans will not vote for Obama. The media's love fest will eventually kill Obama's campaign. (And the TV spots about his racist friend, Rev. Wright, are not even on yet) And....the debates are going to be fun to watch. McCain will win it right there. Watch closely.

    America was indeed fooled by the CIA "intelligence" on Iraq, yes.....and now some Americans are falling for Obama.

    But....remember, this is ALSO the same nation that re-elected an unpopular George W. Bush in 2004....during....an unpopular war.
    Translation? - McCain will win in November.

    Comment: Tracy McNicoll's article about Obama in France is persuasive and good on many fronts but entirely wrong on one: race in France. France has always been one of the top immigrant destinations and racial dynamics are very different compared to the United States. To compare blacks in the US to those in France is like comparing apples to oranges. Blacks in France were never slaves and came to France on their own free will, mostly for employment opportunities or asylum from corrupt regimes like the one in Zimbabwe. The American media really needs to be careful how it presents things because these kinds of articles can be very misleading...this article suggest that the blacks in France are suffering and have unequal rights...the real issue is that France's economy on the whole is bureaucratic (for everyone including whites) so its hard for people to advance and move around since work and life are heavily controlled by the government (including unions to which many blacks subscribe). Sadly, this is the legacy of utopian-minded socialists...the same ones who invited scores of Africans to come live in France with free education, health care, etc...really, blacks in France have it good, perhaps better than in America (plenty of free benefits and a race blind government). This article in fact contradicts its message because in the end it states that this man Sturn 'runs his own production company' ...so this guy runs his own company and the blacks are really suffering? Being half French and half American myself, having lived in both countries, and being of mixed race myself, I would conclude that the blacks in France are severly misguided..but what's more troubling is what does Tracy have in mind when writing about blacks in France? why not write about all the positive things sarkozy and obama talked about? interesting indeed Tracy...what are you suggesting to our impressionable minds?

The American media really needs to be careful how it presents things because these kinds of articles can be very misleading...this article suggest that the blacks in France are suffering and have unequal rights...the real issue is that France's economy on the whole is bureaucratic (for everyone including whites) so its hard for people to advance and move around since work and life are heavily controlled by the government (including unions to which many blacks subscribe). Sadly, this is the legacy of utopian-minded socialists...the same ones who invited scores of Africans to come live in France with free education, health care, etc...really, blacks in France have it good, perhaps better than in America (plenty of free benefits and a race blind government). This article in fact contradicts its message because in the end it states that this man Sturn 'runs his own production company' ...so this guy runs his own company and the blacks are really suffering? Being half French and half American myself, having lived in both countries, and being of mixed race myself, I would conclude that the blacks in France are severly misguided..but what's more troubling is what does Tracy have in mind when writing about blacks in France? why not write about all the positive things sarkozy and obama talked about? interesting indeed Tracy...what are you suggesting to our impressionable minds?

    Comment: I'm glad Sen. Obama is causing these people to question the French goverment about it's policies. However, he is giving many nightmares in the US. We will have to be the one's who will have to live with his lack of experence and basic understanding of many issues. I am not saying he is not a good guy. I'm just saying he is not ready to be the leader of the free world. That is where the nightmares come in. But I will admit, to the " I want something for nothing crowd" he looks pretty good!

    Comment: Republican Propa Ganda B.S
    On the Surge
    The success of the surge......began before the surge....... In other words is isn't from what John MCain said by the American Troops, before the troops was there the surge already been going on many months much earlier in IraQ. John McCain it seems doesnt know the difference with regards the Sunni and Shiite.

    One of the top commanders in Iraq indicated it was not the surge per se and that it was the political compromises and agreements among the Iraqis. The fact that the "Sunni Awakening" or "Anbar Awakening" switched them from supporting Al Qaeda to fighting them began BEFORE the surge (contrary to McCain's false claims) also backs this up.

    And the big one of course, the Sunnis ended their boycott of the Malaki govt. and have now teamed up with the Shiite in governing. Very little of this was achieved militarily as McCain and Bush would have you believe.

    Just to be clear: Obama visited wounded troops

    I can't stress this point enough: during the portion of his trip that was official Senate business -- the portion in Iraq and Afghanistan and Kuwait -- Barack Obama visited with wounded troops, and he did so without any fanfare.

    Nonetheless, John McCain is criticizing Barack Obama for not seeing wounded troops at Landstuhl, even though during McCain's most recent Europe trip, he didn't visit them either, despite being just a short drive away.

    The funny part is that McCain' trip to Europe was official Senate business, funded by taxpayers. Barack Obama' trip was under political, NOT as Official Senator Visit mean as Government Employee and his trip was funded by the campaign therefore not ALLOWED . Now, I would never suggest in a million years that John McCain whose several decades of service I can deeply honor he doesn't care about the troops. But it's simply remarkable that he sees fit to make such an attack on Barack Obama.

    John McCain is a dedicated impulsive hard-core gambler who enjoys few things more than a 14 hour session at the craps table, he more than capable of SELLING COUNTRY SOULS to recover his personal Loses

    Comment: The problem for McCain is his "Judgment", if he really had superior military insight, he would have never agreed to go to Iraq until Afghanistan was "mission accopmlished". If mccain would have wanted to defeat Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, where they make base and train, if he would have wanted to actually bring BIN LADEN to justice, if MCCAIN has TRUE judgment, he would have stood on the floor of the Senate and said "WRONG WAR< WRONG TIME!" We would have "WON" in Afghanistan, instead of "cutting" our ablility to supply more troops and "running" to Iraq, for a "WAR FOR OIL" and for the bush ego.

    If McCain had done that, there would not have been a "SURGE" required, AT ALL. thousands of Iraqis and hundreds od Americans would have been saved...but NOPE! McCain and BUSH wanted to go to a country that NEVER ATTACKED THE US, and star another war, and now MCCAIN AND BUSH want to go "bomb Iran, bomb bomb Iran". before AFGANISTAn or Iraq are clear...and you call that a "military mentality", you call that "Judgment"?

    Comment: Scam Alert! America is finally starting to ask questions. Obama is the biggest used car salesman (with a nice smile and good delivery) the media has EVER tried to shove down America's throat.

    McCain is the better man by a long shot and he is SO much more qualified.

    But....here is another biggie.....McCain never had a close "20 year relationsip" with a bunch of racist friends like Obama has, no matter what liberals will try to claim just because McCain is on the GOP ticket. The "good reverand" Jeremiah Wright is a bigot, no different from Archie Bunker or David Duke. This is what American's are really talking about at the water cooler folks. Believe it. And Wright's close friend is Louis Farrakhan, THE biggist racist in America. Birds of a Feather, folks....

    Jews and many Hillary fans will not vote for Obama. That is a no-brainer.

    The media's love fest will eventually kill Obama's campaign. And....the debates are going to be fun to watch. McCain will win it right there. Watch closely.

    America was indeed fooled by the CIA on Iraq.....and now some Americans are falling for the used car salesman.

    But....remember, this is the same nation that re-elected an unpopular George W. Bush in 2004....during....an unpopular war. Adoring Europeans do not vote in the US, folks.

    - McCain will win in November.

    Comment: President Sarkozy may have greeted Barack Obama as a foreign leader on Friday, but as a French person, I can tell you, there were not a lot of fans in Paris, waiting for him, outside the Elysée. There may have been thousands of people in Berlin the day before : here about fifty "Obamaniacs" were hoping to see him ! That's not a big crowd !
    In fact, the French are very critical of the way Obama behaved during his Parisian visit.
    We have been deeply offended by the fact that Obama only stayed a couple of hours in our country : it's a sign of scorn and disdain toward our great nation. Moreover, a lot of French journalists have found him very bad, hesitating, looking at his notes, during the press conference. They think that Sarkozy has given him a lesson of political communication.
    Finally Obama really showed a lack of respect for the French opposition party, the Socialists, by refusing to meet their leaders whereas he agreed to speak to David Cameron,leader of the Conservative Party in Britain. He behaved as if he thought the Socialists had no chance of winning the future election : once again, I think it shows his lack of knowledge of the French political situation...

        Comment: Hi P,

        I see that you are STILL waiting on an answer, I love it when people posts comments like this yet refuse to back them up when confronted. While in Paris, Obama was asked why his visit would be so short, he responded that it is unusual for a presidential candidate to be out of the US for over a week and he needed to return home. This was said during the same meeting between Obama and the French President.

        Have a great day!

        Comment: Obama visited the troops in the hospital in Baghdad and he was at Walter Reed last month. Should he make a stop at every V.A. hospital in every city/state that he visits just to prove that he really supports the troops?

        Did John McCain, who was in Europe in March and so obviously loves the troops more, visit the hospital at Landstuhl? NO. He was only 4 hours drive away which is about a 1 hour flight at the most. No seismic event required there.

        McCain recently refused to back the GI bill which President Obama supported, and then his friend Bush tried to give credit to McCain when the bill passed anyway.
        McCain is a dishonorable curmudgeon who needs to stop while he's ahead. People might start remembering the Keating Five scandal, that he barely graduated from Anapolis and was ranked 894 out of 899. That he twice crashed planes he was flying and on a seperate occassion collided with power lines all before he finally got shot down in Vietnam.

    Comment:
    PART 1 - BARACK OBAMAS FRIENDS : William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn (Admitted Terrorists of the Weather Underground)

    Obamas Relationships Stemming from his Directorship of the WOODS FUND

    * Obamas Problematic Directorship at Woods Fund with WILLIAM AYERS

    Barack Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Funds website.

    While the Chicago Sun Times provides a laundry list of Obamas problematic relationships (Rezko, Farrakhan, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Austan Goolsbee, list goes on), none may prove more ultimately controversial than fellow Woods Fund Directors William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.

    As others have mentioned, WILLIAM (BILL) AYERS and wife BERNADINE DOHRN were once notorious members of the Weather Underground, TERRORIST BOMBERS who attempted to overthrow the United State Government. http://marathonpundit.blogspot.com/2008/02/obamas-bill-ayers-problem.html
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=BpDUU3Z7dm4&feature=related
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMOtNHyejrU

    Bill Ayers was Obamas (radical) mentor whom he has known since 1995. The Ayers were principals in Baracks first run for the State Senate. The Ayers hosted a Meet the Candidate dinner/meeting at the Ayers home. Not an attractive character for a President to hang out with and to not answer to what he learned from Ayers after all those years.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV_h-XwchkY

    William Ayers, quoted on Sept. 11, 2001: Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon.

    [Ayers and Dohrn] disappeared in 1970, after a bomb, designed to kill army officers in New Jersey, accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse, and turned themselves into authorities in 1980. They were never prosecuted for their involvement with the 25 bombings the Weather Underground claimed; charges were dropped because of improper FBI surveillance.

    I DO NOT REGRET SETTING BOMBS. I feel we did not do enough, AYERS TOLD the New York Times in 2001. http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/August-2001/No-Regrets/

    Ayers was a terrorist. His wife Bernardine Dohrn was a terrorist. (She knows and worked in the same law firm with Michelle Obama). Ayers has never offered one word of apology. He glories in it, thinks it is terrific. And that to me is not what I would call acceptable or mainstream behavior, said Dan Polsby, a former law professor at Northwestern who is now Dean of George Mason University Law School. If Obama takes a different view on that - well, OK, that is data about Obama.

    (Continued from another of my Posts above)

    PART 2 Woods Funds Investments (association with Radical Groups) -Obama was on board w/Ayers at Woods Funds over 8 years:

    Setting aside Obamas relationship with William Ayers, the Board on which they served together deserves additional scrutiny. And, in fact, the Woods Funds INVESTMENTS appear to be quite problematic for Obama.

    * Arab American Action Network (AAAN): Supports expanded rights for illegal aliens and was founded by anti-Israel professor Rashid Khalidi, former director of the PLO press agency and onetime moderator of PLO advisory committee.

    AAAN views the United States as a nation wherein ARAB CITIZENS are routinely MALTREATED. To remedy this perceived societal injustice, the organization aims to challenge government policies that violate the civil, political and human rights OF THE ARAB American and ARAB immigrant community. Among these policies are DETENTIONS, DEPORTATIONS and OTHER ATTACKS on immigrants that result from Homeland Security measures!

    AAANs hostile view of the JEWISH state is further manifest in the organizations reference to Israels creation in 1948 as Al Nakba ( The Catastrophe ).

    Among the current luminaries of AAANs staff are (a) Vice President Ali Abunimah, who maintains the website ElectroicIntifada.com and is a Board member of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, and (b) Executive Director Hatem Abudayyeh, who has condemned the Israeli government and its military killing machine.

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
    * American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Radical Quaker organization that supports Americas unilateral disarmament (and that backed) the Vietnamese Communists, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, and the PLO.

    In fact, AFSC recently formed a partnership with MEChA. MEChA is one of several groups that intend to reclaim Aztlán (the southwestern portion of the United States):
    The AFSC is a Chicana and Chicano student movement directly linked to Aztlán. As Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán, they say they are a nationalist movement of Indigenous Gente that LAY CLAIM TO THE LAND THAT IS OURS BY BIRTHRIGHT. As a nationalist movement we seek to free our people from the exploitation of an oppressive society that occupies our land. Put simply, MEChA's mission is straightforward. To overthrow the United States Government and establish a new form of government.

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
    SUMMARY

    Put very simply, Obama must explain not only his relationship to Ayers and Dohrn, but also his SUPPORT OF RADICAL GROUPS that support the overthrow of the United States Government. The MainStreamMedia is doing us a huge disservice not focusing more on his past and fully vetting him.
