Obama's Celebrity Cred

All you McShame fans- you have to read this one. The wife U.S. Republican John McCain callously left behind

You fans must be so proud of him!

McCain likes to illustrate his moral fibre by referring to his five years as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam. And to demonstrate his commitment to family values, the 71-year-old former US Navy pilot pays warm tribute to his beautiful blonde wife, Cindy, with whom he has four children.

But there is another Mrs McCain who casts a ghostly shadow over the Senator???s presidential campaign. She is seldom seen and rarely written about, despite being mother to McCain???s three eldest children.

And yet, had events turned out differently, it would be she, rather than Cindy, who would be vying to be First Lady. She is McCain???s first wife, Carol, who was a famous beauty and a successful swimwear model when they married in 1965.

She was the woman McCain dreamed of during his long incarceration and torture in Vietnam???s infamous ???Hanoi Hilton??? prison and the woman who faithfully stayed at home looking after the children and waiting anxiously for news.

But when McCain returned to America in 1973 to a fanfare of publicity and a handshake from Richard Nixon, he discovered his wife had been disfigured in a terrible car crash three years earlier. Her car had skidded on icy roads into a telegraph pole on Christmas Eve, 1969. Her pelvis and one arm were shattered by the impact and she suffered massive internal injuries.

When Carol was discharged from hospital after six months of life-saving surgery, the prognosis was bleak. In order to save her legs, surgeons

had been forced to cut away huge sections of shattered bone, taking with it her tall, willowy figure. She was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to use a catheter.

Through sheer hard work, Carol learned to walk again. But when John McCain came home from Vietnam, she had gained a lot of weight and bore little resemblance to her old self.

Today, she stands at just 5ft4in and still walks awkwardly, with a pronounced limp. Her body is held together by screws and metal plates and, at 70, her face is worn by wrinkles that speak of decades of silent suffering.

For nearly 30 years, Carol has maintained a dignified silence about the accident, McCain and their divorce. But last week at the bungalow where she now lives at Virginia Beach, a faded seaside resort 200 miles south of Washington, she told The Mail on Sunday how McCain divorced her in 1980 and married Cindy, 18 years his junior and the heir to an Arizona brewing fortune, just one month later.

McCain is the most underhanded hypocrite since G W Bush (yea I know, you don't have to go that far to find one) This guy has not said one thing about Obama that wasn't a drastic exaggeration or just plain out of context. And it's nothing but attack after attack. Why doesn't Mccain just stick to his campaign without constantly stalking every photo op or comment Barack makes? He must be desperate; he has nothing else going for him. That fact is, every stance and idea Obama has had is turning out to be proven true and demonstrative. He said the 16 mo withdrawal is possible and Malaki agreed, not to mention Bush has already begun making it happen. If you recall McCain called Obama crazy for this timeline, and wanted to stay in Iraq much longer. Now all McCain talks about is troop withdrawal. According to McCain the US wins in Iraq only if he brings the troops home, but if Obama brings them home, it's a defeat...pretty clever guy huh? Since the primaries Obama has been saying we need to focus more on Afghanistan and Alqaeda...McCain wouldn't even mention Afghanistan. Now that it's obvious we need to send troops there, and Bush has called for it, McCain is on THAT bandwagon too, I hope people can see through this guys politics to know that nothing is going to change if he gets elected. I just wish Obama would get just as tough on McSame and tear him down for this. Believe me it wouldn't be difficult...the guy is as old as the hills and would probably go into a stuttering fit in front of a large crowd.

This kind of campaign gets this kind of reporting:

Another good one to bring up on McCain is the treatment he and his cronies are giving the Navajo Indians in Arizona-kicking them off their rightfull lands so that his buddies can mine coal on what was their land without paying them for it. They are now stuck on land contaminated with Uranium tailings. This one is one you will have to look up. It's really been cover-up.

Ok let's all give it a break and be quiet while McCain takes his daily nap! Shhhh!

McCain should not allow Bush's campaign people to run his campaign. People are tired of crazed bushies and they can smell bs a mile a way.

If McCain can't say anything positive about himself, that tells us something. I hope he continues this crap b/c this will be his downfall in November.

I

John McCain - the new King of Sleaze and Slime!!!

The McCain campaign really should use the Bush campaign as their "ace in the hole." People are tired of the crazed bushies and they can smell bs for what it is.

McCain should try to stick to what is positive about himself. It doesn't seem like he can.

Obama doesn't need to respond to the McSleeze ads. The American people know this is BS and the media is doing a great job responding for Obama. Bring on more McSleeze. It didn't work for Hilaray and it sure won't work for McBush...

Eight years ago McCain was a nice guy, someone I wanted to win the White House, now he has become a pig in politics. He is the reason we need someone like Obama, someone new. McCain has become more personal against Obama than any other Presidential candidate in American history. I now despise the pig. He does not deserve to be treated with the respect one should give a Presidential candidate or a war hero. His actions since he left the service leave a lot to desire. Starting with the Keating Five. And I am starting to despise those who support him. For the record, I have voted republican for President since voting for Richard Nixon, but I will this time, and I am going to give him lots of money. It is time for change and McCain is demonstrating he is not the one to do it.

No more negative compaigning.Use only straight facts and quit the LIES. We all can check facts and know when you lie.....this is to the GOP HEAR ME NOW
