Obama's Celebrity Cred

What is amazing to me is that so many people cannot see McCain's BS ads for what they are. Either he has a platform for running the US, or he doesn't. Candidates who don't have the goods use attack ads. That so many of our fellow Americans cannot see that is or choose to reward bad behavior is astounding.

Top 5 Obama's celebrity creds.....
1) Where obama goes, the cameras and the press follows
2) Obama's got a lot of pics with a lot of important people
3) Obama's got celebrity friends...shoot, he's got hollywood in the tank
4) Paris can be a celebrity for doing nothing...but Obama can be president for having done nothing..he's got it going on!
5) Obama can act like a president and regurgitate a script like no one business!

Yes, this man is very talented.

Another day, another McCain fact check lie. We knew it yesterday.

Why doesn't Newsweek just sell itself on the grocery store checkout line. It is such a rag. I wonder if the Newsweek editors get a tingle on their leg like Matthews does when Obama speaks. The truth is that Obama is the Washington insider and his crowds are generated by speaking at existing rock concerts and free alcohol giveaways like the old Chicago politicians.

He is in no way as good of a speaker as Clinton, Reagan, or Kennedy. He stutters and pauses even when he reads the words and he certainly can't think on his feet.

There is no way to spin the lack of judgement he has shown throughout his campaign. His negative attack ads are now running against McCain but he always prefaces them by saying that McCain is attacking him. "McCain is attacking me so I am attacking him." That doesn't sound like any new politics to me but rather a return to the gangster like Chicago politics of the 50s and 60s.

I did enjoy snorting cocaine with Barry as he called himself then while I was at Columbia U. Mauybe more of his druggie friends from Columbia will talk about him now.

McCain's ads reveal not only his dishonesty but his desperation.
honey

McCain shows his stripes. He really is Bush the 3rd. He's using the same team of campaign managers as Bush did, and we will get the same distortions and untruths that got us where we are today. This election will not be about platforms or ideas, or ways to fix our problems, but about smears and lies and who said what. The network media will not helps us at all. Is this what america is about? If so, we deserve what we get.
If you like bush2, you'll love McCain. No morals, no direction, just a power grabber.

McCains lies and thinks that there are enoung dumb Americans to vote him into the White House....We are smarter than you McCain...

John McCain has finally lost my last shred of respect for him, now that he's relying on outright lies and broad innuendo to smear his opponent.
To think that I once considered voting for him as candidate because of his 'integrity'. Straight Talk Express, my eye!
I should have realized once I learned that his character has been questionable from the beginning, when he fudged the truth about the end of his first marriage/beginning of second in his own autobiography, and from the beginning of this campaign, when he cried poverty without mentioning that his wife's company was paying for the jet that was running him around.
I'm voting for Obama because he's not stooping to this kind of cheap shoddy tactics - comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton! - or the outright lie here about taxing electricity. Where is his honor, his straight talk now?
No, Barack Obama won't add taxes, he'll just repeal the tax breaks President Bush gave and John McCain will give to the rich, so they can start paying their fair share. He'll address real energy problems without the gimmick of a gas tax sop to the ignorant who can't do the math and realize that it will amount to pennies. Nor will he propose off-shore drilling that will give us no real return for nearly a decade.
Instead he offers a breath of fresh air, the real straight talk.

Dear Mojo -- One of those wars (the other being, I assume you mean, terrorism) we did not "have to" fight. W made the decision to do that, and the poor consituents and civilians believed at the time that he must have a good reason to "have to" fight. When we, as did he, discovered that there really wasn't a reason to "have to" fight in Iraq, our confidence in the ba$tard was shattered. No amount of "oops - bad intelligence" is going to fix that. "The buck stops here" has always been the burden placed upon the Commander-In-Chief.

I was so pleased to see McCain come out on top for the Republicans (although I am a Democrat) because I always admired his politicking (or lack thereof) even though I disagreed with some of his Republican views. And now that trust has been shattered as well. He has truly sold his soul in order to grasp at straws.

You will start to see more and more of the MSM come though as Obama supporters because, lo and behold, there are still some honest journalists who want to report the extreme BS so that America can stay informed despite smears and foolishness.

(And go on wicha badself, akhajawall! :) )

Nice balanced reporting. Just how exactly do you think we get electricity now? (Hint: "Dirty"). Let's think this through (unlike this reporter chose to). Electricity in the U.S. is generated from ...wait for it.... coal and natural gas!! So, if we tax the coal and "to a lesser extent" natural gas, do we really think that electricity won't be taxed?

Stop letting the press do your thinking (voting) for you. Follow the bouncing ball people.

McCain is a guy who wears $500 Ferragamo loafers on the campaign trail, at a time when a lot of Americans are struggling to cover their living expenses. He's a guy who owns four homes and a private jet, and admits that he can't remember the last time he pumped his own gasoline. He's the very definition of an out-of-touch elitist.

Obama is not the one running for President - it's the far left liberals now in charge in congress. Obama is just a face and a voice representing them. No one can argue that he's actually qualified for the position. The liberal congress wants a president that will be able to convince the masses that congress is doing the right thing. He won't be vetoeing any legislation that they put through.

It really doesn't matter who is voted in as the president doesn't really have that much power. McCain was right yesterday when he said Pelosi actually has more power than the president. The only true power he has is the veto pen which can still be overruled with enough votes in congress. So it's not so much who will be president as who holds the majority in congress. So if you want to put your efforts to good use start backing the senators you want to represent you in congress.

Can't wait to see how this whole thing ends up!

McCain is on the defensive because he knows he can't hold a candle to Obama in any area. The only thing he does is trot out his being a POW and what he endured that time. I have yet to hear anything of substance coming out of his mouth.

The American people are not interested in perpetuating the Bush/Cheny/Rove political complex. They want to embrace hope. Obama 08.

what i think is really funny about this is that it demonstrates how hopelessly out-of-touch and old mccain is. britney spears and paris hilton aren't the biggest international celebrities; david and victoria beckham are. the rest of the world isn't nearly as fascinated by paris hilton as americans seem to be.
