    Obama???s problem with women goes beyond the current lipstick controversy. I think he has a real problem with women in general. He throws grandma under the bus calling her a racist; he calls a reporter on his plane "sweetie"; he puts his chances of winning the presidency in jeopardy by passing over Hillary for VP (an obvious choice); he unleashed his attack dogs on Sarah Palin before he even knew who she is; and now he makes a completely stupid and unnecessary remark about pigs wearing lipstick. America is finally seeing the real Barack Obama and we are finding that he lacks the judgment, experience and emotional maturity to be President.

      I'm with you Middle america. Let the record speak for itself! I have heard Obama speak about what he would do about the economy and insurance for everyone. Do I believe everything I hear? and only half of what I see, but I have to believe in someone and it is not McCain or Palin. Some of you mention "experience" There are some of the candiates that have scades of experience and some who have not been office all that long. It depends on how strongly a candidate feels and that comes across with everyone who has come in contact with the candidate. I don't want to belilttle any of the candidates that is futile. But more of the same if a for sure thing out of McCain and Palin which equals "Bush." What is the excuse for "Bush." He was a govenor and people want to say Obama has no experience. Then how did Bush get elected. Was it majority bote or deception? No one can deny after seeing the stock market today on retail sales that Bush has certainly done a disservice to our wonderful country.

    So essarocket, I guess you are saying it is OK to exhibit unacceptable sexist behavior just so long as you advocate a liberal agenda. This sounds like the National Organization of Women's attitude during the many Clinton sex scandals that arose while he was President. Why do liberals have one set of rules for themselves but another for all the rest of us? Are you really condoning sexism? Where have you been for the past 60 years? If you are a woman, shame on you. If you are a man, I hope you are living in a monastery far away from civilization. Before you reply to this, you might want to pick up an equal employment opportunity (EEO) manual and educate yourself on what constitutes sexist behaviors.

    StraightTalker, your post is a goof, right? I mean, you really believe that? Hysterical, if that's the case! Come on already...

    Once again this all sounds like politics as usual. It seems a majority of people are willing to talk about personality instead of talking about the all important issues we are faced with thanks to the current administration. Issues instead of personality, what a novel idea, issues like the economy, energy, the environment health care, education, the deficit, etc. all the issues that this current administration has decided to ignore. So I guess if those voting for McCain are once again electing on personality (i.e. someone I would like to have a beer with instead of someone who thinks through the issues), instead of change then McCain/Palin are your candidates. And to that I say shame on you for electing someone that is spiteful in their campaign and somone who avoids the issues of this country. If you support McCain/Palin and they happen to win then you get what you deserve - if this does indead happen then as a pre-cursor to all those whiny right wing supporters it is not Congress' or the Senates fault that we have fallen further into the abyss but the Republican leadership that has once again been elected on personality.

    Read My lips, there is not way a Black man, can become a president in this country; In the company I used to work for, there were 500 hundred people, and I used to hear, how bad those people use to talk about any black candidate, that was running for office. I rember that; when Jackson was running in the primaries to be a candidate for the democrats, 95 % of the people in that place, use to say horrible things bout him. I remember, many od them saying, "if a Black becomes a president in country, the lack people are going to take over the whole country". I remember, the bad thinngs the white people, use to say about the balcks. everi-time a black person was hire by the company,.Out of the 500 people in that were working in that place, in the year 2004, when I reitired, about 425 of them were white; but, when the company did hire a black or a hispanic, the white peole use to get very sad, so is this happend in one company of 500 employess, what you think is happening in the whole country. I am a white hispanic; and think, that because of My lite color, averybody think I am a white from the states, and this is why they say all this thongs in front of Me, they think I am one of them. I also remember the bad things this people use to say, about the hispanics, and what realy bothers Me; is, that the mayority of them, use to call them-selves good christian, I think they forgat, that racism for God, is a sin like eny-other sin. I know, that the media think, that racism don't exist in this Country, but I know that there still a lot of racism, more than what the mayority think is, this why I know, tha there is not way that Senetor Barak Obama, will win this coming elections. Believe, as a christian, tha knows that to lie is a sin, I am telling you the whole true, racism in this country will never end, becasue many, that claim not to be recist are the first ones to practis racism, and even more, the mayority of the people that claim to christians, are practicing racism, becasue I have seen in in some of the christian churches that I have visited.

    Not only is it time to update this column and appears we need to update and educate some of the people commenting. Some of you have our secure future mixed up. McCain is the same not Obama. We already know what he and Palin will do; more of the same; 4 to 8 years of Bush!! At least Obama does have a program behind his promises. McCain just mouths it. More of the same of the economy being ruined, if it can get any worse. More of the same on h ealth care and the lack there of. More high fuel prices. People look at what a mess Bush has gotten us into. Do you actually think our country can stand any more. It is 9/11 today is Bush still reading the book "Clifford, the Big Red Dog". I have been called liberal just because I say what is on my mind and how I feel about my country and not wanting it and our soldiers to go on suffering the way they and it has. This is called freedom of speech. The last time I checked we have the right to say how we feel and how we would like to see our country safe and our soldiers brought home now. If Hillary Clinton had won the nomination I would have definnitely have voted for her, but Obama and Biden are the next best thing. Palin really is an extremist and it is very scary to even think of her running much less her getting in. She acts lilke she is running for Presidennt. But, then McCain has had several bouts with Melonoma and she may very well end up being the President. Thank about this people. I appreciate what McCain did for his country and have not doubt he loves thhis country. Had he got the nomination 8 years ago as opposed to Bush I would have voted for him. I heard him speak in Washinton D.C. and really liked him. As all of seem to do at a time later in life he has slowed and is not as apt as he was then. I wish and pray the best for my country.

    Hey Newsweek! this data is 2 months old! Do you have anyone to update this info? Or is the new data too painful for you to post????

    If he wins, Obama will change the direction of the country to.... He will change it straight into the whiny-can't-defense-yourself, backstabber, socialist europeans. Michaeal Moore will become the secretary of inferior and he will change US health care into Communist Cuban style health care....

    Obama represents more of the same old party politics that have gridlocked Washington for over two decades. McCain and Palin are the real purveyors of change. Boy are they going to shake that place up. Maybe when they are done reforming Washington, they can do something about the leftist media.

      I think you need to do some waking up. j You sent your response twice. Duh! I did not choose to call anyone making "their" own comments any names. Why would you have to? Do you not have nay views to share? I am not an extremist; you need to look up the definition... As I stated if you had read my comment I am stating my views. Everyone has the right, or so I thought!

    Comment: I am a white/native american female. I am 63 and definitely have a mind of my own. People talk like "white women" are being drawn like cattle to drink in all Ms. Palin has to say. "Wrong"! I will be voting for Obama/Biden because I feel they address the issues and I sure do not more of "the same." Its about out country and rebuilding it. My husband was a 26 yr. retired master sargent. He would have a few thing to say about Palin if he were still alive. He served his country just as McCain did, but he never talked about Korea or Viet Nam both of which he served in, it just was not his way. He served his country proudly. Palin does not think we have global warming. She is very scarey. Maybe she will take the bridge to "no where" and vanish. I hope so!!! Sue

    Comment: I would not ever vote for Ms Palin. She does think, key word being think, there is globing warming and yet she lives in Alaska. She is a very scary individual. She acts like she is running for the oval office. She totally emasculates McCain and he lets her. She is such an extremist. I was married to a retired master sargent who was in the Arm; 101st Division; Screaming Eagles; He served his country for 26 years. He was in Korea and Viet Nam. He never saw the need to talk about his experiences. He just went out and devoted his time to trying to make things better in the Stae of Ky. and other states for Veterans Nursing Homes, Veterans License Plates, and better health care. He died chairing a meeting for Veterans causes 9 years ago. He did not have to talk about his service time like McCain seems to feel like he has to. It is all appreciated, but that does not make for the United States a presidential candidate much less a president. We need to be looking at what is needed to rebuild our country after the last 8 years. People can fuss all they want about Bill Clinton. He did a lot of good and balanced the budget. Bush has only made it worse. I do not want another 8 years like the last 8. Come on people open your eyes. The fox is in the hen house again. Palin will want to run the oval office. She is too pushy and arrogant. She is an extremist. These views are my own personal views and I have the right to them. America, Wake the hell up! Sue

    • Posted By: sherry31 @ 09/08/2008 1:46:12 PM

      OU GRAD, PALIN IS NOT THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE MCCAIN IS. HAVE YOU FORGOT? OR YOU JUST VOTING FOR HER BECAUSE SHE IS THE NOMINEE.? ARE YOU GOING AGAINST YOUR OWN VIEWS AS A DEMOCRAT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND? IF YOU ARE A WOMNA AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN THE RUNNING MATE ON THE TOP OF THE TICKET. DO YOU KNOW THAT HE DENIED EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN? AND HE DENIED PAY INCREASE ON THE MINIMUM WAGE OR DO YOU CARE ABOUT THAT? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN BE A REAL REAL DEMOCRAT AND JUST VOTE FOR A WOMAN JUST BECAUSE SHE IS ON THE TICKET? IF PALIN WASN;T ON THE TICKET WOULD YOU STILL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE NOT PALIN

  • Posted By: thinker1104 @ 09/08/2008 12:05:52 PM

    The problem that I have is that many women believe that Hilary should have been Obama's VP, so they are so happy that the Rebubs have put Palin on the ballot. Many of these women will vote for the repubs just because of her, I say Women wake up!! You should not be making a decision based on the sex of the candidate, read the information that is out there, then make your decision. Women we have come a long way to have our right to vote, don't abuse it by not knowing the facts.

  • Posted By: Sophia1234 @ 09/08/2008 11:28:05 AM

    I don't believe the polls for one minute! I am a Republican that will be voting for Obama. Palin is an extremist. The sad part is that a lot of people are actually are going to vote for McCain because of Palin. If McCain becomes president, these same people will be complaining when they see that nothing has changed and things have gone from bad to worse. McCain has voted with Bush! McCain is just like him. Do you really think he is going to change all of a sudden? NO, he will say whatever it takes to get the independent voters. Everyone needs to open their eyes and really look closely at McCain & Palin. Research Palins background! Don't rely on the media! Educate yourself!
