Obama is and already has been in the gutter. Clift is just another blind supporter pledging her alligence to Obama.

Without question the central issue in this campaign should be (i) who is John McCain (ii) why is a former POW subjected to torture, who tried to commit suicide and is illustrating PTSD, Senility or the onset of Alzheimers being propped up by the NEOCONS who control the GOP? (iii) is McCain mentally fit to be the manager of your Dad's country store, much less the leader of the free world? A FRAUD is being perpetrated on the American people by the GOP under the watchful eye and complicity of the mainstream media that does not want to focus on whether McCain is unhinged. The Republican party is using an empty vessel, and McCain's soul less opportunism to put an R in the Whitehouse. Simply put, they figured out that McCain's faux Maverick brand would appeal to some Democrats and Independents. They will do the best that they can to carry off the illusion of McCain's sanity and put a responsible business friendly person like Mitt Romney on the ticket as VP In case McCain cannot be carried forth for 4 years. God help America if we wake up in November to find out that we have elected a mentally ill, insane man to be the President of the United States.
john mccain appears to be racist and is trying to project if off on to obama and in the same breath comparing him to moses. which is it? it is what it is, why doesn't he just take responsibility for it. I am deeply offended by both.
Did you take the mirrors out of your home so you cannot see the white in your eyes?
I BET YOUR OFFENDED THAT WHITEHOUSE IS WHITE. ACTUALL YOU ARE OFFENDED BY MOST THINGS IN LIFE INCLUDING THIS POST. HA, HA.
In regards to Barack's statement that he did not look like those on the other dollar bills, I believe Barack was respondong to an ad The McCain Camp ran with Obama's face on the dollar bill; his face on the statue of liberty; and on all four faces of Mt. Rushmore!
It was depicted when the Ben Franklin and George Washington faces fade to show Obama's on the currency; Miss Liberty' face fades to Obama's and the four faces on Mt. Rushmore fade to Obama's! How come the Media is not reporting the WHOLE story?
Sorry bud, too late.
Obama's campaign manager released a statement saying his comments were about his race. Wow, ever considered conspiracy novelist before? You seem to be great at them. Now conspire a theory about why his camp admitted this low down shameful same ole same ole act of race baiting.
O is a novely item...like the circus, it's something nobody has EVER seen, a black man running for the Presidency and at first everyone wanted on...Like the Wii!!!!! OR we could compare him to the three headed snake....at the side show...pay 50 cents to see it!!!! Well, we've seen IT, and there's not that much to it, and it's lost it's attraction because after all....IT"S A SNAKE!!!
Elea,Elea,Elea.......a rock star in Denver you?Yes I agree Hussein is rock star America is looking for a president.
An American taxpayer voting for Obama is the equavelent of a chicken voting for Col. Sanders!!!!!
"The Washington Post found "no evidence at all" for the accusation".
Because Washington Post said so, now it is the truth? When did the Washington Post become the determinator of the truth. Just as one KKK member will support his skinhead member, there is no credibilty of using Washington Post's opinion of Obama's cancel visit to troop as non-political. Classic example of incestous MSM behaviors.
The Mainstream media and McCain's handlers have focused on selling Americans on imagery of the "War Hero...Maverick...Naval Aviator" while hiding the disturbing side of McCain, that he is in fact mentally unstable, perhaps suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome), alzheimers or the onset of senility. McCain was tortured so severely in Vietnam that he tried to commit suicide. Nine out of 10 POW's who returned from Vietnam were diagnosed with PTSD. This may explain his irrational behavior but it does not explain the MSM ignoring some disturbing realities. Perhaps McCain's "Straight Talk" Campaign of 2000 vs. Bush combined with his hosting Media BBQ's at his country homes has so endeared him to those in the Corporate Media that they choose to downplay, disregard or rationalize his consistent inability to recall basic facts, put together coherent responses or randomly lashing out in anger and singing strange songs like "Bomb Bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beachboys Barbara Ann.
Dr. Larry Hunter (former U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Chief Economist): "The Republican Party is a dead rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of 'Weekend With Bernie,' handcuffed to a corpse."--McCain is that corpse, Rove & Co are dragging him around. John McCain is a souless empty vessel who has become the Trojan Horse of the Neocons who control the GOP. For the GOP to put forth for President a man who is far from intellectually gifted to be begin with, who has a LOW IQ, little intellectual curiousity who may also in fact have lost his marbles is on some level....well, it ought to be a national scandal. McCain never had a full deck and now even more cards are missing. Simply put, If McCain were a product you purchased at the store you would return it for being defective or brokenTo quote Michael Douglas in "The American President "... whatever your problems, I can assure you (Sen. McCain) is not the least bit interested in solving them. He is only interested is telling you to fear them and telling who to blame for them. That's his tactic and that's how you win elections."
Obama has an excellent political record; unfortunately it's been either horribly mischaracterized or ignored. Barack Obama served for seven years in the Illinois State Senate from 1997 - 2004, where he authored and/or was instrumental in passing many substantive (and often bi-partisan) pieces of legislation, including expanded health care for children, increased tax credits for lower-income workers, raised the minimum wage, welfare and ethics reforms as well as landmark legislation overhauling the death penalty. Since 2005, while in the US Senate, Obama co-sponsored the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act (with sponsor John McCain, ironically), the Lugar-Obama Nonproliferation Act, the Coburn?Obama Transparency Act, the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, and has sponsored many other intiatives and amendments, including the Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007 and the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act... Politics aside, Obama also has an admirable record as a public citizen and advocate for quality communities, where he has served as a board member of the Woods Fund, the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and the Lugenia Burns Hope Center. On top of that, he lectured in constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School, one of the country's most prestigious law schools (and where Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice John Paul Stevens were also former lecturers). Bottom line: Barack Obama has a solid record of political and legislative achievement, as well as substantial experience as a leader in the community where he has lived. In fact, I find it reassuring that his experience lies predominantly outside the beltway, at the state and local level, "where the other half lives." I am absolutely certain that he, much, much more than John McCain, has a deeper understanding of the world you and I live in, and from that understanding he is much better prepared to exercise the kind of judgment and leadership we need at the highest levels of government today.
KQuark, You want an Illinois trained politician in the Whitehouse. You must be out of your mind. The Governor cannot pass a state budget; Cook County has the highest sales tax in the nation; Chicago mayor who are obsessed with the 2016 Olympic and rising property tax. and by the way, they are all Democrats.
I find it interesting that McCain is suggesting that Obama is using 'race' to complain about his (McCain's) campaigning tactics. Didn't Bush use race (i.e. his adopted daughter Bridget's dark skin) as a way to scare people off of voting for him (McCain)? Didn't McCain complain bitterly about all the lies and false innuendo? I think all's fair. Let's get lots of photos of his daughter Bridget out and start talking about her. I notice they never bring her out on any of the campaigns. Why is that exactly? McCain ought not to be throwing stones.
what is wrong with you people. on the news there was a survey that they analyzed at nauseum that said that 32% of whites said that there was no significant problem with racism in this country, but after reading these post, I'd say somebody lied.
Besides when you attack and distract constantly, what are you trying to hide? what is mcbush hiding? what doesn't he want us to know as white people other that obama is black?
OBAMA is the FRAY...he has made this campaign about him....did he really think that he would ride straight to the White House....without many reality checks....The campaign is lost!!!!!
Thousands crowded into his big iconic rallies while Hillary held town meetings, taking questions and engaging the voters. The polls showed Obama with a big lead, but the voters didn't like being told the race was over. The pattern repeated itself in other primary contests. Every time Obama acted like the presumptive nominee, Hillary would rear up and reassert herself.
WRONG. THEY DID/DO NOT LIKE OBAMA AND EXTREME LIBERALISM. HILLARY DESTROYED HIM IN PA, KY, AND WV BECAUSE THE TRUTH CAME OUT IN SF WITH THE, "GUNS AND RELIGION" COMMENT. HE HATES THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH. THAT'S WHY HILLARY HELD ON SO LONG. ELENOR IS CLUELESS. WITHOUT THE ELENOR AND THE MEDIA OBAMBI WOULD BE DOWN 10%.
The press loves the narrative that this is an election that is a referendum on 0bama. But in reality this election is a referendum on the American people.
-Are the American people going to fall for negative campaigning over an issues based campaign?
-Are the American people going to reward the Republicans for 8 years of disastrous economic and foreign policies?
-Are the American people going to vote against their self interests once again? When the majority of Americans agree with Democrats on 90% of the issues.
-Have the American people bridged the ethnic divide like they say they have which had held us back for so many decades?
-Do the American people really want an administration that does not want to increase executive power and uphold the constitution?
-Do the American people want competent government or do they want cronies and lobbyists to run government?
If America votes for McBush this year we failed as a society just as badly as the Republicans have for 8 years.

WRONG. THEY WERE DEMOCRATS THAT DO NOT WANT EXTREME LIBERALISM AND RESENT HIS COMMENTS ABOUT "GUNS AND RELIGION". DO YOU REMEMBER HILLARY'S MARGIN OF VICTORY IN KENTUCKY AND W. VIRGINIA. THE DO NOT LIKE OBAMA. YOUR CLUELESS.
Pay no attention to the Blonde Partisan behind the curtain,as she is one of these ''toothless media'' personas that she decries,being a disciple of the Anointed One anyway.
Curiously[or ''toothlessly'' shall we say],Clifts maudlin whining omits a rather important point. If Obama can be seen as ''serene''in the face of ''the web of lies'' spun by the ''Swiftboat''types,it is because he has flotillas of his own proxies to spin such webs for His Holiness[observe her backhand at Jon Stewart,who wasen't such a bad guy in her estimation when it was a Bush he was gunning for in his sketches].
MOVEON,DAILY KOS,THE NATION,MOVING AMERICA FORWARD,The Soros Empire,The AFL-CIO,HUFFINGTON[which was forced to print a retraction in an attack it made on McCain today],MSNBC,The New York Times,[same deal as HUFFINGTON], NEWSWEAK,TIME,The Washington Post,are all ''swiftboaters''in their own right concocting racist qualities inside the McCain camp where they do not exist,and turning Obamas own racially-founded remarks upon their heads in their quite ridiculous[see:above Clift article],defense of The new Caesar..
Th media and Obama supporters seem to believe he can walk on water and raise the dead. I must admit he comes close to raising the dead by having more than a few appear on the registerd voters list in Chicago to vote for him, Obama is just another politician, perhaps a little more polished than most, who will do or say anything to get elected. McCain is not much better. Pity the American public and our country whichever is elected.
