    It's time to stop focusing on the war. What a silly issue! Don't let the men and women who died in Iraq die for nothing. We are winning, the SURGE worked which Obama in his lack of experience and lack of FUTURE thinking couldn't grasp and many of you can't either.

    Mc Cain will win the war in IRaq and Afganistan and KEEP TAXES low so American's can keep their jobs. All that Obama's steal from the rich and intelligent and give to the poor and stupid plan will do is PUSH JOBS and MONEY OFFSHORE!

    Do you think that people like me don't already have contingency plans if Obama is elected? There is a reason that 2/3 of the world's wealth is in Swiss banks! It's not hard to setup an offshore corporation in bearer share mode so your NAME does NOT appear in the document. Obama's plans to tax the rich are unfair and it will BLOW UP IN HIS FACE as historically when you raise taxes you DECREASE the money coming in. He's both too dumb and TOO INEXPERIENCED to know this!

      The war is a silly issue? Are you serious?

      I hope your contingency plan is to move back to Europe. See ya wouldn't want ta be ya, so long, thanks for stopping by, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

        No, plan is to live here and structure business activities so that I pay my FAIR share of taxes and NOT 1 PENNY more! This could mean setting up bearer share corps in Panama / Belize / Caymans and having portion of business revenues flow through there. It could also mean shifting focus to income that doesn't have social security taxes on it.

        You thieving criminal democrats may win the election but just watch at how the country goes DEEPER the wrong way. Higher taxes are unfair and there are hundreds of loopholes and ways around them. You wouldn't know this because somebody making only $30k to $50k basically pays NO TAXES after all the deductions. The rich pay the taxes in the US, Exxon paid 9 billion 302 million in taxes and Obama thinks they need to pay more. HE is the greedy one and so rediculously stupid.

          So what you are saying, despite naming calling on democrats, which you claim you are since you supported Clinton, is that you are willing to unethically evade taxes, which sounds illegal anyway? Your porposals sound suspect at best. And yet you call your fellow democrats 'thieving criminals'. But at least you said we may win the election, that's a start. I'm the guy that makes 30-50 k, and basically I pay a helluva lot of taxes. But as you suggest under Obama I would pay less taxes which is alright with me. That would give the little guy like me a chance to breathe under the smothering oil market that has Bush-Cheney-McCains' handprints all over it.

            First lets not debate Energy policy. Both parties DROPPED the ball. Clinton could have started offshore drilling a decade ago and we wouldn't be in this mess now. Mc Cain was in the Senate since the beginning of time and he's done nothing either. Both parties are a failure. Last oil crisis in the 70s was the time to do something and as oil came down we ALL forgot about it and started buying high horse power cars and trucks and SUVs, etc. We're all guilty. Now's the time to do EVERYTHING we can to reduce energy costs. In this aspect we all agree.

            We should create more Nuclear (Liberal France gets 80% of its energy from Nuclear, its safe and cheap). We need to put up as many wind mills and solar farms as we can and spend BILLIONS to develop other clean sources of energy that are RENEWABLE. Homes should be built GREEN with high insulation, proper windows (major source or energy loss). We need more energy efficient appliances and lights, etc. We need an electric battery powered cars that can go 150 to 300 miles and have higher top speeds. THis would reduce travel costs to about 1 to 3 cents per MILE ! Mc Cain's $300 million reward for the inventor of this would CHANGE America if it was invented.

            Taxes: The richest 5% pay over 50% of taxes! The top 10% pay 2/3 of taxes. So lets not debate taxes, the poor and middle class don't pay a fraction of their share! I paid $107,000 taxes last year and this year it will be $140k to $150k. Under Obama this year I'd pay over $200,000. This is my biggest problem with him. Not only is this not fair, I pay this much and you pay almost nothing $3k to $8k but he wants to raise it even more. That in my book is stealing. You don't care because it doesn't affect you. Because there are more uneducated in this country and more lower income earners than super stars doesn't make it fair. Hillary would have had sound economic policies and been fair on this tax issue. Obama's plan will reduce jobs. I have only 3 employees now but need more as business is growing. I'm not going to hire them under an Obama presidency as I'll have far less money to do it with unless I go with my plan B. I don't see anything wrong with reducing my taxes to what I pay NOW! It's just like putting in a burgler alarm on your house to prevent thieves from taking your stuff. Don't think for a MINUTE that rich individuals and corporations don't already have PLANS on dealing with Obama.

            These plans will be destructive for America and it is YOUR group who will be MOST hurt by them.

              While I agree with some of your statements, circumstances were much different in 1995 when Clinton vetoed offshore drilling. Oil was priced at $19 per barrel, or about 17% of where it is now. Had we drilled then, we still would not have a comprehensive energy plan, which we have needed since the 1970s. Hopefully we will get one passed this year.

    Here's a story to MAYBE help Democrats understand how stupid and EVIL they are.

    Daughter comes home from college and tells her dad that she's doing well and has all A's but her best friend is really struggling and partying too much and has C's.

    "I'm afraid she's going to drop out Dad, and she's my best friend! I'll be lost without her!"

    Dad thinks about it for awhile and says

    "Why don't you give her part of your grade, you take a lower grade, say a B and raise her C's to B's".

    The daughter shoots back "No way Dad, I studied my A$$ off and worked all the time while she was out partying. I'm not going to lower my grade to boost hers. She needs to buckle up and work HARDER"

    The dad then says back

    "Welcome to the REPUBLICAN party!"

    NOw I see it!!!, The only way Obama can come back into News and get people talking is by having confrontation with the "evil Lady". I saw many write ups on the "Evil Plan" of Hillary to take over the convention. Liberals, get over it. There is no use in picking this fight. The so far undecided voters are not interested in this petty fight!!. Find something real!!

    TO: Notrepublican, Pia, SJ and other doubters of free concerts that drew in out of the ordinary large crowds at the Berlin Obama rally, speech event (200,000 people) and the Portland Oregon Obama rally, speech event (75,000 people) here is why. As Pia always says, the proof is in the pudding. PROOF THAT RALLYs THAT DREW 75,000 people (Portland, Oregon) and 200,000 (Berlin, Germany) each rally had famous BANDS(s) and Reggae singer performing Free Concerts, with free food and drink preceding Obamas speech hrs later. This is why these 2 rallies really drew in the crowds to the proportions it did. Now you know why only these TWO rallys were so extraordinarily large to all the others. Gotta love that MainStreamMedia.

    any intelligent person would take the advice of his elders who had walk this way before. bill clinton sat in office for two terms,and he as a lot of experience both local and global. he was and still is a very skilled politician.forget about the mistakes he made,because we all have made some mistakes as well.and those who have not, are in no way exempt.let's not be self righteous.amid all the talk about hillary, one thing stands out to me ,that she did not take the advice to attack obama on the fact that he was unamerican. though she has some negatives, she also has a lot of skills as a politician and as a human in general .just imaging her being a vice president,a historical moment for us politics,women through out the world and the experience of bill clinton,the tactician in the shadows.whether some people like it or not, a lot of people in the world still like bill and hillary clinton.that is just a fact.think global! america cannot afford to live in isolation.demoracy,freedom,patriotism and culture are all important but there must be balance.educate and expand your world view.

    Bill Clinton is further diminishing his legacy as former President by continuing to play the "Victim" card to further angst and resentment within the Hillary campaign and her supporters. This is doing "NOTHING" to promote UNITY within the Democratic party, and if he says he's not a RACIST, then he should be doing everything in his power to help make Barack Obama the first Black American President of the U. S. He and Hillary should be proud to see Obama break that Racial Glass Ceiling when he becomes the first Black American Democratic Nominee for President.

    Article on CNN; http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/12/clinton/index.html

    If Hillary Clinton again would be one of the folks applying for the big job...; YES! And Hallelujah - music to my ears. You never ask anyone to quite before the game is over - it should not be any different on something as serious as this, than a regular game of football! She would have won if everyone would have let this play out, and let the voters have their say, before all the media started the harassing and pressure, and super delegates could not keep their heads cool.
    (If it does not happen, I´ll just have to accept it; but if there is a chance in hell....I´ll take it!)

    Now we have seen more of the guys - after all the sweet words have been spoken, and Hillary´s "new, change guy" opponent, have become "old stuff and old Washington"; so now let us have a more fair game.
    She the "one in the middle", that can balance this; softer tone than McCain - and a lot more experience and determination and ability to cut thorough and make decisions...not to say; clear comments - than Obama.

    Go, Hillary!

    Bill should consistently continue to allow his pride to keep him from pushing for Obama. Why should he make a friend? Why should he help? Obama has constantly flung mud on the Clintons. Its not right, nor is it a democrat trait to heal such wounds..... Bill you stay in your own corner, Obama is not worth your time. You have great places to spend your time, like in the Flowers, or with Lew and Insky.....

      Obama has never been good with geography. . . .

      * When campaigning in Oregon, Obama redrew the map of the United States and said: : Over the last 15 months, we have traveled to every corner of the United States. I have been in, what?, 57 states? I think with one left to go. (huh?)

      * Explaining why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it is not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those STATES IN THE MIDDLE. ( Huh? On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?)



      • Posted By: xczy14 @ 08/11/2008 4:26:53 PM

        theres no excuse for an american to believe there are 57 states. even jaywalkers do better than that. but i think he might have included iraq iran afghanistan pakistan france germany UK. his constituency is the cosmos, right?

        jonathon capehart from washington post said he wasn't sure if ohio bordered IL and he wished he had a map. one man running for president and one a political reporter. kind of says it all.

    I'm voting for Obama because he is about change in how Washington and the country shall be governed. McCain supported Bush policy and now backs away because he has to, not because he wants to. He has shunned the VA centers, PTSD programs because he was not there or he didn't fully understand them. Just look at his voting record. He couldn't even remember about the birth control question. As for the "one party rule" it's been that way up until 2006 and that was awful but then it was GOP run. I'm sure we can turn things around.

    • Posted By: pearsoncrz @ 08/12/2008 2:13:11 PM

      the birth control question was a set-up that was not based on truth - most insurance companies offer coverage for both.

      And by the way, it wasn't just that he didn't go visit the wounded when he learned he couldn't take his campaign staff and camerasObama has skipped 19 of 37 VA committee meetings in the 109th congress. Obama???s attendance record was the second worst of all Democrats on the VA committee. He attended just 18 of the committee???s 37 meetings in Washington D.C.," SusanUnPC reported December 20, 2007, at No Quarter Blog.

        Do you have a reliable source to substantiate this claim?

    • Posted By: pearsoncrz @ 08/12/2008 2:09:36 PM

      McCain has done more to actually change Washington than Obama, with his opposition to the use of earmarks and his tireless efforts to make sure taxpayers know where the pork is going.

      Obama bought into the Washington system, requesting earmarks for his political cronies, financial backers, and even his wife's employer, the one that gave Michelle a HUGE raise (for what?).

      Obama is old style pay to play politics. Here is an example.

      Away from the bright lights and high-minded rhetoric of the campaign trail, Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has quietly worked with corporate lobbyists to help pass breaks worth $12 million. :ast year, at the request of a hired representative for an Australian-owned chemical corporation Nufarm, Obama introduced nine separate bills exempting the company from import fees on a range of chemical ingredients it uses in the manufacture of pesticides and herbicides. Nufarm's U.S. subsidiary is based in Illinois.

      Nufarm wasn't the only beneficiary of Obama's efforts to reduce customs fees and duties. In early May of 2006, two Washington lobbyists registered to work on behalf of Astellas Pharma, a Japanese-owned drug company which also has offices in Illinois.

      The lobbyists' task? "Introduce legislation to temporarily suspend customs duties for the importation of a pharmaceutical ingredient," they wrote on their lobbying forms. Less than three weeks later, the men had earned their $20,000 fee, thanks to Obama. On May 26, he introduced S. 3155, a bill specifically exempting Astellas' key ingredient from tariff payments. The bill cost the federal government more than $1 million in lost revenue, according to government estimates.

      Together, Obama's obscure measures -- known as tariff suspensions -- steered more than $12 million away from federal coffers, according to government estimates.

      While legal, Obama's bills on behalf of Nufarm and other companies are part of the special treatment machine Washington rolls out for special interests, say good-government watchdogs.

      "If you have a company...there's a whole factory set up to help you get these suspensions," said Steve Ellis, president of the Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense. "It's a pay-to-play system you have to rev up and work." Hire the right lobbyist, pay the right fee, and you can save millions, he explained.

      In Nufarm's case, Obama's staff met with a lawyer representing the company, Joel Junker, in person and on the phone several times, Junker told ABC News. Junker says he worked with Obama's staff to craft the nine bills and keep them moving forward.

      "To the extent [the legislation] needs a little shepherding, you work with their staff, to be aware of the status, and work with the committee staff," he said, and spoke highly of Obama's staff. "Everything was very professional, very constituent-service oriented."

    Lies, lies, and lies. That's all I'm hearing. Mccains lies in his ads and in his speeches, ad after ad and attack after attack being proven false. And now his supporters are following suite. Where is the dignity these days. It seems like the Republicans are competing to see who can lie the biggest and win the most Mccain supporters, who can scare the most people to vote for Mccain. Where has the honor gone, has the republican campaign just become about lies and scaring people into the wrong vote. when's the last time a Mccain attack ad has been proven truth, WHEN. How has this country become so broken that you can almost win on lies and terror alone. I'm tired of it. I'M TIRED OF IT. And I would think you guys would be tired of it too after dealing with it over the past 8 years, I would think you wouldn't want to make the same mistake. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice shame on you, fool me a third time, no, No, NO. Is there any honor left in America. If there is, WHERE HAS IT GONE? I will not standby and watch this country make the same mistake a third time. I'M TIRED OF IT, no more lies, no more "terror". I'm done with it, I will not stand it any longer, and I hope you can agree with me.

I am pleased that you are still here and so are other bloggers I read. Can you explain to me what lies you are referring to that McCain makes or that I am posting? I very much do alot of research into what I posts and have admitted when I have been wrong. Are there certain posts that I made that you know or think are lies? I am serious here. My purpose here on this site, besides to counter-responding to comments to my posts is to try to generate dialogue and give my responses to other bloggers that post their comments.

    The Democratic Party will fall apart and the Republican Party will win the White House if the Clintons do not step aside and stop what they are doing. I was as big a supporter of Bill Clinton as anyone and I will always say he was a good President, however the way he and Hillary have behaved in this campaign is almost unforgivable. They have been politicans for a long time and they know what they should be doing and they also know what they are doing. If Obama loses the election it will not be because he is not a good candidate, it will be because the Clinton's were sore losers and cared more about revenge than the Democratic Party and the country. Anyone who votes for McCain needs their head examined.

            Smoking is a nasty habit and do think it is an addiction in a sense that given the chemicals in cigarettes these days, and depending how much or how often Obama used to smoke cigarettes, it can be tough to quit. Not good for his health which he already knows. But I would not hold it against a presidential candidate for smoking cigarettes, although it does not give off a good image if caught smoking in public. Look at these pics of him.

            http://search.mywebsearch.com/mywebsearch/AWimage.jhtml?searchfor=Obama%20smoking


            I know I have never seen him smoking and with all the press he gets he must be just smoking once in awhile at his own home. I give him credit for trying to stop at least. Any guess as to when you think he will pick his VP for the ticket?

            How do you know when the last time he used cocaine was? If he can't quit smoking cigarettes, why would you believe he quit something far more addictive? There is a reason cocaine addicts are thin.

      You think Hillary should step aside and stop helping Obama? She is doing everything in her power to help. You may not like the Clintons, but Obama would be wise to embrace them

      Hi lori,
      Like hell he didn't inhale LOL! I never understood why he felt the need to make this silly statement!

    • Posted By: oklok @ 08/11/2008 8:35:40 PM

      BEFAIR:

      Your post is very very sad. It speaks not of reality--but of anger and spite. Do you really want Sen Clinton to step aside and stop campaigning for Obama? And what is it, exactly, that she is doing? You do realize, don't you, that as "head of the Democratic Party" the onus is on Obama? That he is the one responsible for reparations? That he is the one who needs the Clinton supporters?

      And, please, will you stop blaming the Clinton's for your messiah's loss. If he loses, it's because he did not extend the olive branch, which he still hasn't. He has proven with his actions that he does care about either of the Clintons. Nor does he care about her delegates or voters.

      And what type of American (Democrat) are you when you write that the Clintons care more about revenge?

      Before you hit: "Post your comment" -- you might want to check to see if your words match your name. And if the party stays divided - it is because of comments like yours. When are any of you going to get it?

  • Posted By: sjpersonal @ 08/12/2008 1:01:21 PM

    This is what I do not understand about the Clinton supporters who plan to vote for McCain. You post comments such as this;

    Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 08/11/2008 22:03:39
    Comment: Exactly Pearsoncrz! Let Mc Cain mess it up and then Hillary 2012. Don't let this ONE time opportunity pass us by. For others that contributed to her campaign don't let your money go to waste. Mc Cain 2008 and Hillary 2012 and a legacy of success as the housing market and banking crisis can only be improved with time. She'll inherit an economy coming out of recession and ready for GROWTH
    ************************************************************
    ************************************************************

    This is only an example as there are many posts by you that say the same thing. We are voting for McCain because we know he will be bad for the country and that way we can ensure that Clinton is a shoe in for the 2012 Presidency.

    This is absolutely ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourselves, I know that you are not but you should. I totally understand people wanting to vote for McCain because they believe in him, but as you state, you do not you are just hoping, as some other posters state, that Congress will keep him from making too much MORE of a mess of this country until Clinton can take office.

    PATHETIC!

    • Posted By: cobalt6 @ 08/12/2008 1:24:26 PM

      I do agree with some of what you are saying. I was a Hillary supporter but like Al Gore, Hillary has had her day in the sun. Her time has come and gone. 2012 election will have a whole new set of candidates. As an independant I take a look at both candidates and in my opinion experience is very important and that is why I will vote for McCain.

      • Posted By: sjpersonal @ 08/12/2008 2:02:07 PM

        Ok,

        I have absolutely no problem with what you posted. You stated why you are voting for McCain, which is that you believe in him, this is your right. But these others, it makes no sense to deliberately vote for someone that you believe will be bad for the country in the hopes that it will help Sen. Clinton get back into the White House. I do not get it!

        • Posted By: cobalt6 @ 08/12/2008 10:04:09 PM

          You are 100% right. We are down to 2 candidates and we have to decide which one we trust more to run this country right and better.

  • Posted By: adelina @ 08/12/2008 4:04:15 PM

    Kerry and Gore had higher numbers in polls during August and they lost. Obama is nationally 3 points ahead of Mccain: margin of error -4. He needs at least 48-50 of white vote and people over 50 and baby is not happening. It's not a done deal. To avoid the possibility of the republicans obtaining a majority in the senate I will vote democrat. Just because he is the nominee I'm not obligated to give him my vote. I am deeply concerned about his lack of qualifications. That's is why Hillary was my candidate from day one, she is more qualified.

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 08/12/2008 4:41:56 PM

      I agree Obama has NO qualifications to be president. His socialist street organizing doesn't even qualify him to be a Senator! He's law degree doesn't give him experience to run the military nor does he know ONE thing about how the economy works. Hillary in 2012! Vote Mc Cain now and she'll be a shoe in! She would have helped the economy so much and Obama will tax it to death, the economy is his worst issue followed by his stupid energy policies. Go inflate your tires America, haha what a joke he is.

      • Posted By: collymore @ 08/12/2008 9:23:08 PM

        question, what qualifies one to be president?experience is an over played word,why,i knew a young man who was so called inexperience,who was transferred to a place i was working. he brought a breath of fresh air to an antiquated way of thinking. he brought vision,clarity and inspiration. he even thaught people who were there how to do their job more efficiently.this person changed the complete division. that experience theory is bogus, short sighted and closed minded.the american military cannot solve all of the world's problems.

      • Posted By: Mimi13 @ 08/12/2008 6:44:10 PM

        Inflating your tires and raising your MPG by just 2 miles would save you about 60 gallons of gas per year -- or over $200. Mulitply that by just half the drivers in the United States and we would have a gasoline surplus in the United States. Some joke!

    I supported Hillary at the primary. But I equally admired Obama. This is democracy at its best. The minority writes and the majority rules. At the end of the day we all have to come back home and do our best to support our candidate.Otherwise we it would be a double disregard of our duty.

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 08/12/2008 3:40:54 AM


      I am an Independent. I have voted Republican once in my adult life (for my state governor) and the rest of my votes have been for democrats in my voting life. I cannot vote for Obama because I do not feel safe doing so due to his thin account of experience, extremely minimal bi-partisan self led legislature in the US senate, of which timelines of him being in the US senate is mostly comprised of him being on the road campaigning for President. I do not feel comfortable about him being able to deal with world leaders due to his inexperience and lack of strength in standing up against our terrorist countries. Nor do I feel he has any experience in the national security arena. NoObama

          Right now I would say no. But I wish the two of them would name their VP soon. Do you think Obama will tell us his pick when he gets back from Hawaii? The convention is nearing so we should know pretty soon you would think.

    P.U.M.A
    Article: Obama, Serial Disrespectful Sidler
    July 27, 2008

    Anyone remember the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine had a co-worker that somehow managed to show up every single time she was being praised for something at work and then TAKE CO-CREDIT FOR IT? Well, that is what Obama is starting to remind people of. Take for instance his rock star appearance in Germany last month. If you listened to the MSM you would think Obama really was a rock star. But if you took the time to dig into what actually took place, you would learn that the SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION OBAMA SPEECH actually immediately followed a free concert by two very popular bands, Reggae PATRICE and rock band Reamonn. You would also learn that there was lots of FREE BEER, BRATWURST AND PIZZA.

    STAGE WAS SET for Obama to Take Germany by Storm

    Police advised that spectators seeking TO GET CLOSE to the Democratic senator had to arrive at least THREE HOURS EARLY. Yet, while waiting they can indulge in pizza, bratwurst and beverages in one of the TWO DOZEN FAST-FOOD STALLS LINING THE TWO-MILE LONG BOULEVARD. There are also live performances - FREE CONCERTS - of German rock band Reamonn and Reggae singer Patrice.

    If this was an isolated incident we could probably ignore it. But the truth is that Obama used the exact mode of operation when he supposedly wowed Oregon. He claimed to have 75,000 people there at the Portland Waterfront Park to just SEE HIM when in actuality the majority of people went there to see a FREE CONCERT by a very popular band - The Decemberists!

    72,000 gather at Portlands Waterfront Park (supposedly) just to see Obama:

    Obama was the biggest star at Sundays gathering, though a popular Portland band, THE DECEMBERISTS, provided the warm-up act (free concert). With blue skies and temperatures in the 80s (perfect day), many in the crowd said Waterfront Park was simply the place to be. And JUST LIKE THE BERLIN SPEECH NOTHING WAS MENTIONED IN THE MainStreamMedia.

    (Continued in Reply area down below for this post)

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 08/12/2008 3:05:56 AM



      (Continued from post in the Reply area above)

      Free Concert by Popular Band Preceded Obamas Big Rally:

      Unmentioned in national reporting was the fact that Obama was preceded by a RARE, 45-minute FREE CONCERT by actual rock stars THE DECEMBERISTS. The Portland-based band has drawn RAVE REVIEWS FROM ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE, which gave their 2005 album Picaresque four and a half stars (out of five), and another four and a half stars for 2007s The Crane Wife.

      The most troubling aspect of both of these speeches is that Obama managed to insult people that lay their lives on the line every day to make the rest of us safe. The incident in Berlin was not a fluke. It demonstrated a perpetual callous disregard for the sacrifices made by people the rest of us hold in the highest regard. But not Obama.

      Obama Uses Police Memorial for Porta Potties:

      Police officers in Portland, Oregon, are still waiting for an apology from Barack Obama after campaign staffers of his recent rally in Portland, Oregon, setup porta- potties DIRECTLY ON TOP of the Portland Police MEMORIAL, which honors the agencys 25 fallen police officers.

      The Obama OREGON rally drew a crowd of over 75,000 people.

      Officer Thomas Brennan, who was working overtime at the rally, took a picture of the offending toilets, with the American FLAG STILL AT HALF MAST because of Police Officers MEMORIAL DAY, directly behind them. The local law enforcement memorial service had been held at the site only five days earlier.

      So whether it is snubbing the wounded warriors in Germany last month or p*ssing on the fallen police officers in Oregon, Obama apparently has only one mission, which is to make it appear as if he is a compassionate man with HORDES OF ADORING FANS that worship his every word. But the facts speak otherwise. And that is why we say No Deal.

              seems to me it was you and Pia telling the board there was not concert the last time this came up. I just posted links to the bands' websites so you could see that they did in fact have free concerts, the bands had the events on their schedules, and to photos, so you could no longer lie on this board about whether there were bands and free concerts. Now you are reduced to posting your opinion that all those people came to see the Ba-Rock Star and not the bands. Have you ever been to Europe? Did you know that you have to pay a cover charge to get into a bar even when there is no band? How many fans do you think these bands have? Do you wonder why the crowd is 95% young people?

            I followed one of the links and it is to the bands website, we all knew that there was a band, there was a band in Oregon also. They keep attempting to imply that the crowds are never there to see Obama that they are always there for the little known bands LOL! Oh and I forgot the free food and beer. I believe that the reason that they are not able to get past this is that it is just beyond their comprehension that anyone could possibly inspire this many people to come out to hear them speak, I guess this is understandable considering who their candidate (s) are!

            Damn that slick Obama, he is always up to something LOL!

        Unless you are Edwards wife or one of his children you need to mind your own bloody business.
        Bill Clinton had a blow job in the White House;God alone knows what else. Why don't you mention that you
        self righteous B^%%&*???. Numerous affairs before presidency. DID HILLARY LEAVE?? DID HE STOP RUNNING????. Please tell me, is there any other President (other than Bill that is)of the GREAT U.S.A that has a book written about his penis, by the sluts he had both long term and short term sexual relationships with???.. You are so biased. HILLARY LOST. I VOTED FOR HER DISPITE ALL OF THE ABOVE. Hillary's daughter once commented on her fathers relationship, he response was mild to say the least. So I'll tell you what she could not say. Leave Edwards alone, try to be a bit more positive an productive or "SHUT YOUR HOWLING PIE HOLE, IDIOT".

      He's had numerous wild affairs with numerous women even before his Presidency. Hillary still stayed with Bill. Hillary's daughter put it very nicely; but for the like of you I think the only thing that will get though your
