McCain's Tricky Calculation

Rush is so correct when he calls you all the "drive by media"!

As if Rush "to judgment" doesn't do the same exact thing. He just happens to say the things that YOU WANT TO HEAR! And really, that's all this is about. Read a George Will article if you want radical conservative perspective.

This discussion makes it clear Obama should be running for Vice President, where you have time to learn on the job as an apprentice to the president. Dems should flip their ticket and Biden presidential candidate.
Only problem is, nobody voted for him in Iowa. And the people who voted for Obama didn't know about his teachers Ayres, Wright. If media hadn't coveruped for Obama, the race would be Clinton Vs McCain and we won't be faced with the risk another Jimmy Carter president.

The GOP is fond of clocks. Earlier this year there was a clock on FOX News that calculated the days, hours, minutes and seconds that Barack Obama had not come to FOX to be interviewed. Currently on the RNC website, there is a clock ticking as they count the hours "Since Biden's Last Gaffe".

Perhaps someone should give republicans a good dose of their own medicine and start counting the days, hours and minutes since Sarah Palin last granted an interview with the national media. We can start asking the question, what is Sarah Palin hiding? Why wont Palin answer the questions that the American people deserve? Why is McCain hiding his VP pick?

What a cynical view! If the media would stop giving their damn opinions maybe the real american people could make up their own minds without the media basis! It's high time you all started reporting the news instead of commenting on it! Rush is so correct when he calls you all the "drive by media"!

People: When asked about his own leadership experience, here's what Obama said: "Well, I've had to manage my own presidential campaign." Come on! Talk about fodder for Saturday Night Live! (Or at least Stephen Colbert.) Per Obama's pathetic, circular logic, EVERYONE who runs for President is, thereby, qualified to be President. Simply because everyone who runs has to manage a campaign. Face the facts: Barack Hussein Obama is on the ropes.

Obama won 18 million votes, faced countless tough interviews and emerged with a reputation for fluency in discussing affairs of state

Countless tough interviews?????
You have got to be kidding!
Has any one in the media asked Barry Obama what happened to the $100 million in educational reform grants he gave away with William Ayers?

Obama has gotten a media pass!... Countless tough interviews.

The Constitution mandates only two qualifications to be President and Vice-President. One, the candidates must be native born citizens. Two, the candidates must be 35 years old at the time of assuming the offices. Both Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are qualified candidates according to the constitutional mandate. Jonathan Alter is an idiot and has been in the tank for the Democratic Party for years. His argument that "campaigning for the presidency" provides more experience to be president than being a govenor is preposterous on its face. Alter has zero credibility.

"Governor of the largest state in the Union"

That's the equivalent of saying you or I managed Antarctica. Give me a break!

"Obama won 18 million votes, faced countless tough interviews and emerged with a reputation for fluency in discussing affairs of state, whatever one thinks of his politics. "

COUNTLESS TOUGH INTERVIEWS??? It is more of a media pass!

You have got to be kidding! What happened to the $100 million in grant money Obama doled out with William Ayers for education reform?

J MccAIN and company (Palin) are not but a bunch of lairs funny how rich people try and say they are for us (middle working class) the republicans are goin to do noting but keep on with a failed Bush policy and ear marks keeping them in the money no matter the cost .And the EXP factor lol with palin shes noting more then a joke . the world and myself will be very dissappointed if you pick a losing party such as the republicans again in 08'.
Obama in 08

I can't take credit for the research here but Obama's record seems pretty good to me, especially for a JUNIOR senator:

Of the 15 bills Senator Obama sponsored or co-sponsored in 2005-7 that became law:

Two addressed foreign policy:
Promote relief, security and democracy in the Congo (2125)
Develop democratic institutions in areas under Palestinian control (2370).

Three addressed public health:
Improve mine safety (2803)
Increased breast cancer funding (597)
Reduce preterm delivery and complications, reduce infant mortality (707).

Two addressed openness and accountability in government:
Strengthening the Freedom of Information Act (2488)
Full disclosure of all entities receiving federal funds (2590)

Two addressed national security
Extend Terrorist Risk Insurance (467)
Amend the Patriot Act (2167)

One addressed the needs of the Armed Forces
Wave passport fees to visit graves, attend memorials/funerals of veterans abroad (1184).

Great article that highlights the absurdity in the Republican position and in the speeches last night. The "Obama" that they spoke about doesn't exist (check your facts before you speak) and I hope America will see through the petty attacks that do nothing but insult the intelligence of the people whose support they're supposed to be seeking (on that point, since when did being a community organizer with a concern for helping poor people become the punchline to a joke?).
