    Oh Yeah, John McCain Writes All his Speeches and has No Writers at All.

    George W. Bush and Reagan and Kennedy, they All had Writers...

    Are you kidding YOURSELF by using such Terrible... LIE !!!

    John McCain is the Worse at Reading via Teleprompter on the face of the Earth ...
    ------------------

    Oh Yeah, John "Semi-Senile" McCain he's going to "Veto All New BEERS, with Earmarks"

    On the Night of Obama's Acceptance Speech in New Orleans....

    "Thats Not Change, we can Believe in" with all those Old Geezers in the Background Falling Asleep...

    Even Fox News, Brit Hume and other Fox News Political Pundits said that Mccain could Never Beat Obama with "Obama's Superior Oratory Skills"

    "McCain Lacks Magnitism"

    "McCain, should've waited to give his Speech on a Day Opposite of Obama's Acceptance Speech"
    ------------------

    What Experience: Like McCain telling Katie Couric, the Anbar Awakening happened during the "Surge" when the "Anbar Awakening" happened LONG BEFORE "THE SURGE" and that the "The Surge" happened in (Bagdad) not in (Anbar)!!
    ---------

    We Saved a particular Sheik because of the "Surge"

    When WE in Fact, Did Not !!

    This particular Sheik was Killed, Not Saved !!

    To call any voter who hasn't jumped on the Obama bandwagon a racist is demeaning and unfair. I, for one, refuse to vote for an inexperienced, liberal leaning hack whose calls for "change" do not match his record, slim as it is. Obama favors abortion on demand, is weak on foreign policy and has shown he's so arrogant. WHY would he listen to Biden, anyway? Barack is stuck in his self-made mesiah complex...I just pray the voters wise up before it's too late.

      John McCain...

      Please, Stop Beliving the John McCain Propogandist and Paranoid views of John McCain and his campaign.

      There is No MESSIAH, there is a One Old Senile Man, who wants Wars and a Young Man, that believes in Diplomacy, with War, as the last Solution, when Diplomacy Fails.

      You Vote for the Senile Old War Monger (McCain) and I'll Vote for the Young Man with Diplomacy First and with War as a Second Option (Obama)


      I'll Vote for the young Man with Diplomacy First and War Second !!!

    It's funny. I didn't vote for Kerry, or Gore, or Clinton either. But in those elections, my vote wasn't called racist. Now, I am voting Republican again, because I find the Rep. candidate to the (marginally) better of the two candidates. That's my right and decision to make. Nobdoy called me racist for voting my party's candidate in the previous elections.

    I'm voting as I always have, since the GOP more closely mirrors my values and wishes for the country. Suddenly, after all these years - I'm a racist?!?!?!?! It sound like you people think we don't even need an election. Isn't that kind of a slight to Obama? Didn't he earn the right to run fair and square? I gave him the respect of considering him for this election. I didn't have a whole lot of options to choose from, but I chose. That's why they call it an election. I think people are losing sight of that.

    It's tough to run against wired voting machines. If you can't beat a senator who help loot the S & L for himself and four other U S senator.Than The american voter is either stupid or a glutton for pushiment.So I say its the machines.

  • Posted By: pezled @ 08/24/2008 8:51:09 AM

    SO sight unseen you know my mind and resonings for my presidential choice. And sight unseen you have decided that I am a white racist. Nothing tells my color from these posts.

    Looks like you are the racist. Color has nothing to do with my choice. It's you who are playing a race card. Not me.

  • Posted By: cm4297 @ 08/24/2008 8:30:48 AM

    People can't see beyond color. Those who claim a color blind society are normally the racists. Obama's problem group whether its been women, working class citizens, etc....it returns to older whites who still believe that blacks are inferior. There is something in this society that continually sends that message. Even if Obama does not win, he has rewritten the script for many young, black, men. I have more respect for outright racists than those of you who come to this blog and claim that Obama is inexperienced, a flip flopper, etc, and that's why you're not voting for him.

  • Posted By: cm4297 @ 08/24/2008 8:27:10 AM

    THANK YOU.. We're not saying that you are racist for not voting for Obama, but let me, a woman of color, clue you in on racist behavior. If you are guilty of the following. If you equated his name with Osama without blinking, you are racist. If you called him a terrorist because his father practiced Islam, and somehow he is a secret Muslim, you are racist. When you say flip-flopper, hopefully you are also speaking of John McCain who changed his entire image to pander to Conservatives. If you said, that blacks only voted for Obama because he's black despite the fact that blacks have overwhelmingsly voted for whites in the past. If you felt that everytime Obama spoke to a black crowd he was pandering because you know, blacks only see the color of his skin like many white voters do. When people talk about him winning because of Affirmative action...The list goes on...We have shown our whiteness in this country. DEAL WITH IT. Jesus said, You will not see me if you don't love your brother.

    Weisburg's argument in one sentence.
    "If you don't vote for Obama, then everyone will think your racist."

    You know Weisburg is a Obama partisan because he is echoing the same argument that every other racebaiting Obama supporter has said 1000 times so far. It's not original

  • Posted By: kalamere @ 08/24/2008 4:30:41 AM

    Hogwash! Jacob Weisberg's racism is showing. People can see beyond color and see the left wing radical history and disaagree on issues. I guess it must be Weisberg's neighbor's who are racisits. It's certainly not mine.

    Transcript for new Hussein ad...Hussein camp threatening stations if they run it. This is soooo FUNNY....

    Beyond the speeches, how much do you know about Barack Obama?

    What does he really believe?


    Consider this:

    United 93 never hit the Capitol on 9/11.

    But the Capitol was bombed thirty years before -

    By an American terrorist group called Weather Underground that declared 'war' on the U.S. -

    Targeting the Capitol, the Pentagon, police stations and more.

    One of the group's leaders, William Ayers, admits to the bombings, proudly saying later:

    'We didn't do enough.'

    Some members of the group Ayers founded even went on to kill police.


    But Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as, quote,

    'Respectable' and 'Mainstream.'

    Obama's political career was launched in Ayers' home.

    And the two served together on a left-wing board.


    Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol...and is proud of it?

    Do you know enough to elect Barack Obama?


    American Issues Project is responsible for the content of this ad.

    Just someone who lives in his neighborhood??? SURE.

    NOBAMA!!!

      OBAMAS RELATIONSHIPS STEMMING FROM HIS DIRECTORSHIP OF THE WOODS FUND

      1. William (Bill) Ayers - An admittedly unapologetic terrorist that Obama worked with on the Board of Directors for 8 years and associated with on a personal level outside of work with Michelle.

      2. Bernadine Dohrn (admittedly unapologetic terrorist, wife of Bill Ayers; she and Bill hosted fundraiser for Obama; Dohrn worked with Michelle in the same Law Firm )

      3. Woods Funds Investments has had associations with radical anti-Israel organizations:

      * Arab American Action Network (AAAN):Midwest Academy: [A] training organization that teaches radical activists tactics of direct action, targeting, confrontation, and intimidation.

      * American Friends Service Committee (AFSC): a Radical Quaker organization that supports Americas unilateral disarmament [and that backed] the Vietnamese Communists, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, and the PLO.

      In fact, AFSC recently formed a partnership with MEChA. MEChA is one of several groups that intend to "reclaim Aztlán" (the southwestern portion of the United States).

    NEWSWEEK has buried the TONY REZKO story (friend of Obama and convicted felon). They thru it up on their site today and buried it at end of the day. Couldnt find the link to the article so I used Newsweeks search engine which is useless. Then I googled it outside the site and found it. When i pulled up the link, the lead in page shows 3 blogs (the norm) but when I went into the all comments area every blog was wiped out. I dont think that was coincidental.

    DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE WE ARE LIVING IN THE USSR OR CHINA HERE? The MSM I have lost any respect for. . . they only feed the public what they want them to see and if they are pressed to at least write an article that is controversial about Obama, wham, it is gone within 24 hrs, buried in the site.

    ANYWAYS, if anyone wants to read the Who is Tony Rezko article, here is the link that leads to where it is buried somewhere within this site:

    This was an honest discussion about race that didn't resort to democraphic polling generalizations. Well done.

  • Posted By: AL Obama Man @ 08/24/2008 1:14:42 AM

    What a incisive and apt analysis. s an African American 50 year old man I cant tell you how disheartened I would be by an Obama loss, not because he is Black/biracial but because of your deft analysis of just how inept, for this time in our history, John McCain is. The McCain of 2000 is someone I could see leading this country. This bellicose, Rovian, simpleton who is runing now is scary. I pray our country will elect Obama and Biden because of their competence, leadership and vision not elect John McCain out of fear and prejudice. If we do the latter God help us all.

  • Posted By: Rainy @ 08/23/2008 10:19:54 PM

    So very dead-on on so many levels. Obama so clearly outclasses McCain and the Republican machine. Were his charisma, intellect and general talent possessed by someone of entirely European descent in his exact position, media coverage and poll results would be dramatically different. Imagine Obama leaving his first wife for an heiress, and how that would be framed by the media and the Republican machine.

    It goes without saying that there are many issues of racism in this country (even though some try not to call it what it is). And how could there not be? The U.S. economy was founded on unpaid labor (slavery ) and all that it entailed; its laws supported segregation and racism (Jim Crow); and these things were not abolished by the prompting of the perpatrators or even the government. Rather, they were abolished by the blood, sacrifice, and efforts of the impacted group and their supporters, while the nation went down kicking and screaming.

    So (duh), obviously (and I'm generalizing) one could argue that the 'American' value system is not one to aspire to, unless it is remade in some fashion. Obama's presidency can help do that.

    Excellent article, but lets not hide behind politically correct words. We will be seen for what we truly are, a racist nation. Pure and simple. However, they will attempt to justify their rejection of Obama with statement such as he's too inexperienced. These are the very same people who put a mediocre individual that boast about his "C" average in college; failed at every business he father put him into and can not string a simple sentence together properly. An individual who squandered the surplus budget he inherited; is responsible for the loss of thousands of young American lives fighting an illegal war in Iraqi and lies to the country. McCain parrots Bush completely and in some respects may even be worst. But that's okay because he better than Obama simply because he is "white". Please give me a break!!!

    Comment: I hope race will not be a major factor, but in response to one of your writers, I find it hard to believe McCain will be the better individual for president after eight years of the mess this coutry is in. It truly takes more than being a POW and supporting George Bush's policies to be the best person to be president. Although Obama may not have as many years in Washington as McCain, he is just as ,if not more, intelligent to be president.
