    Wolfe has a man-love thing with Obama so any interview he has is of little value. His take on anything Obama says or does is, Obama did/said, so its the best thing to do.

    His Highness, His Excellency, and His Holiness, El Sub-Comandante, Barack Hussein Obama, Emperor of Hyde Park, Prince of Chicago, Citizen of the World, and El Gran Comemierda of the Universe is GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO GET USED TO IT!!!

    Mr. Obama spent 20 years hanging around rascists and anti-semites(not 20 seconds-20 years!)
    It took him that long to do the right thing?

    1. Mr. Obama is a first-term senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name.
    2. Mr. Obama voted present nearly 130 times,quite a lot for a first term Senator.
    3. Mr. Obama lectures on learning a foreign language, can speak none himself.
    4. Mr. Obama has never produced a single peice of scholarship,or written anything of note.
    5. He earned a law degree from harvard but never practiced law.
    6. He did write a book. The subject? Himself.
    7. Has he ever admitted he changed his mind or was wrong about anything?
    8. on Iraq, Obama has held almost every conceivable position.
    9. His Pro-Life (National Right to Life) rating=
    2005 0%,
    2006 0%,
    2007 0%
    His Pro-Abortion (NARAL) rating=
    2005 100%,
    2006 100%,
    2007 100%

    What does one innocent human life mean to God( not man, but God)?
    10. On Iraq, he has held almost every conceivable opinion

    Barack Obama's voice to bring the ill conceived Bush Iraq War to a close and take the fight to Afghanistan/Pakistan; where, the 9/11 cowards have had safe haven, is the supreme tribute to American Service Men and Women to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. McCain's Rovian-(college drop out- academic probation) rant about not visiting the Troops in the Hospital is a Lie. Senator Obama (no cameras) or fanfare visited grateful wounded veterans at Walter Reid just prior to his trip. Obama's call on World Leaders to take a firm comprehensive measures to stamp out Terrorism didn't sit well with the McCainnites who were listening but didn't hear. All Senator Obama and any Great Leader have, is Inspiration. That is what True Leaders do; Inspire us to do more of what is right. You can't Inspire if you can't see the difference between bad information and what you want to do. That is the legacy of G. Bush, and the example of McCain. The devious attacks from the Rove, Gramm & Cheney political school for dummies has only produced trouble for McCain as usual.

    If I were going to vote for John McCain I will definitely not vote for him now and plan to absolutely vote for Barak Obama now and support his campaing, give money to his campaign and try to talk every person I can into voting for him. Why? Because watching all the stupid, rediculous disparaging attacks against Mr. Obama while he is away convinces me the lack of judgment, the poor decision making, the depths that John McCain and his supporters will go to lie, deceive and twist the truth to get elected. John McCain makes me sick just watching him on TV. He can't talk, can't speak intelligently without talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time. I have never seen anything like it. So now he in agreement with the 16 month timetable for withdrawal and let me guess he is saying this was his idea?

        "REPUBLICAN MUST HOLD OFFICE TO BRING BACK MORAL VALUES TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY"

        Yeah like vetoing health care for children. Making senior citizens pay more for their health care. Sending soldiers to fight and die in unnecessary wars. Ending the seperation of church and state that the constitution forbids, And also steadfast in the privatisation of profits of companies, but steadfast in the SOCIALISATION of losses of these companies.

      Thank you for being flexible enough to see the forest and not simply the trees. I believe that truth will ultimately prevail over unconstructive and ???past its sell-by date??? rhetoric, no matter the source.

  • Posted By: All4Obama @ 07/27/2008 1:13:39 AM

    This was posted a second time because of formatting errors that took place during the posting process of the previous entry, I hope it works this time.

    People love the newness, excitement and ???audacity of hope??? that permeates in Sen. Obama???s message and campaign. That???s not his fault, that???s just his charisma and message. Republicans like to make fun of the way Sen. Obama???s speeches move people. Well, it???s easy to speak and capture an audience???s attention when you speak from the heart and you know what you???re talking about. The Republican???s wish McCain could speak the way Sen. Obama does and capture the same amount of attention, but he doesn???t. He???s often in error in his comments and his demeanor and disposition both concerns and turns people off. That???s not Sen. Obama???s fault! It???s Sen. McCain???s own flaws that make the media and everyone else react the way they do. Many people see McCain as an opportunity to revert to the past. People see Sen. Obama as what???s possible in the future of politics.

    I think this trip of Sen. Obama???s, which by the way was suggested by McCain, has been a magnificent success! Obviously, Sen. McCain wishes now that he had never suggested it because during that trip Sen. Obama represented the majority of Americans??? sentiments with dignity grace and he looked very presidential while doing so. Picture this; while Sen. Obama was speaking to a huge crowd in Europe, Sen. McCain was at a local supermarket talking to a few consumers that happened to come into the store. If he had any sense at all he should have used the opportunity, while Barack was out of the country, to state his case. Instead, he was busy worrying about what Sen. Obama was doing overseas. So, if the press is not reporting on Sen. McCain???s campaign as much as they do Sen. Obama???s (I don???t believe that???s true) it???s probably because of the way McCain has chosen to run his campaign (i.e. small town hall meetings, supermarkets, tiny hamlets and such.) Who in America wants to sit and watch him converse with these small pockets of people in the most boring settings he can find?

        OBAMAHATER

        Have you ever even been to Europe??? Europeans love him because they dont have the freedoms that the USA does??? Did I read that correctly??? First off, Europeans have plenty of freedoms, such as freedom of the press, which your partisan newsnetworks could learn something from. Second, to quote Bill Maher, democrats love america like an adult, taking into account its faults, rebublicans love america like a 4 year old, who see no wrong. Third, stop it with the capslock, you don't need to shout. Four, for a guy shouting that democrats are unintelligent, you dont seem to be able to grasp the English language very well.

        Your name says it all. No one with any intelligence would read your posts. Hate is such a strong word, but I suppose you label yourself a wonderful person of the Christian faith. I can also assume from your post that you enjoy living in the land of the free, with a government that abuses its constitutional powers, invades a sovereign nation while watching our young people killed on foreign soil for Oil. Your comments about Senator Obama's race shows your ignorance and bigotry....chill........he is not the antichrist. Go back to your little church of hypocrites and when you can make an intelligent case for your choice of candidate, someone may actually pay attention to you.

    Ironically,in part, the reason we fight for our democracy is so that the hateful wrong headed idiots have a platform on which they can spurt out their vile. Meanwhile the reasonable must be given a reigns of governance what Obama reinforced his trip to the Middle East and Europe is that he has the intellect and temperament to handle the complex issues.

    Obama postures as a president and dares to compare himself to Reagan and Kennedy, blaming Americans for what's wrong with the world, while refusing to visit the wounded military. A disgrace.

    My one question is: why si Newswekk so obsessed with flattering and fawning over Obama? Absurd.

    • Posted By: geewhiz @ 07/27/2008 6:35:55 AM

      No....Obama didn't posture as a president or compare himself to Reagan and Kennedy, the media did that. But of course people who don't take the time to factcheck the remarks made by the political pundidiots are just plain lazy.

    • Posted By: Newshound777 @ 07/27/2008 4:39:23 AM

      Give it up Die-Hard Repubs. Obama's foreign policy "opinions" were embraced by the Iraqui leadership and McCain/ Bush's plan for Iraq has been rejected by IRAQ ITSELF. McCain is wrong on Iraq, and Obama was right. Even McCain has (lo and behold) changed his position on a phased withdrawl. He attacks Obama and yet co-opts his positions. That is absurd and intellectually dishonest.

  • Posted By: coolrepublica @ 07/27/2008 3:38:17 AM

    I predict a new Newsweek Obama cover within a week. Cover will say "The Great Uniter." The picture will be of Obama arms open welcoming the citizens of the world into his embrace. I wish there was a place to put bets on future Newsweek covers. I would be rich byatch.

    If startegizing, staging and executing a campaign's message is anyway to go by telling how good a candidate will be in steering a country's direction, image and national interests through the next 4 years, this whole week of events by both candidates have given a good insight. One who branded an image of a in-controlled savy post-Bush President into voters' mind, vs the other whom when rendered unable to generate his own message for the whole week resort to tell Americans that milk is 4 dollars a gallon while reading from a notecard in a supermarket isle.

  • Posted By: SBibb @ 07/27/2008 1:19:52 AM

    it amazes me. One minute McCain supporters are saying Obama is wrong for not going to other countries such as Irag and now they are saying he is wrong to of gone. They accuse Obama and say he is conceited and arrogent because of the huge support he receives but notice that he does not try and come off as someone special and he tries very hard to be humble and meek in his speeches yet though he shows confidence, they jump all over him and make these false accusations against him. He has said he is one man and needs help to accomplish his goals. He has never said he could succeed alone. American people are not stupid and can see through the bull and nonesense the Republicans are throwing at Barak Obama.

  • Posted By: nawawimohamad @ 07/27/2008 1:11:43 AM

    Obama is only saying what the people want to hear. Those who believe what politicians say especially during election time are stupid fools or have no faculty to think freely anymore after all the brain washing by the media.

    Politicians are not to be trusted because they are no different from the criminals except that they are able to manipulate the laws and legally justify their wrong doings.

    It will make no difference no matter who is elected to power. You all must be dreaming!
