    a holy man from india and a jew and obama were all traveling together and the car breaks down by a farm house........... they knock on the door and the farmer answers and they tell him the problem....... the farmer says that nobody comes around these parts till mornin, but they are welcome to stay , but there's only room for two of em in the house ........ the jew says no problem he will sleep in the barn ! so he goes there and 5 mins later there's a knock on the door and its the jew and he explains he can't sleep in the barn because of the pig !........... so the holy man from india says i'll go and so he does , 5 mins later he is back saying he can not do it either because of the cow ! ....... so obama says he will do it ! and he goes 5 mins later there's yet again a knock on the door ! the farmer opens the door and there stand the pig and the cow !

    You Republicans are wasting your time. Obama has this locked up. If he gets 95% of the black vote, and 75% of the Hispanic vote, and 70% of the Jewish vote, and 40% of the white women vote, then he will win in a landslide.

      Luckily it doesn't come down to VOTES. It comes down to the ELECTORAL college.

      That's why Bush beat Gore even though he had about 1/2 MILLION fewer votes.

      Typical Democrat DUMB A$$ !! Josemarti is clearly a public school person and ANOTHER reason to vote Republican and create school choice. Pay teachers 2 TIMES more and FIRE those who can't teach!

        You've got him wrong...he is using sarcasm and caricatures to make a point. josemarti is most likely the most informed person on here. I always look for his comments...they are great. I usually LMAO.

        NOBAMA!!!

      Jose...you left out his base...The ACORN....dead for 5 yrs...use a crack head to vote...constituancy...I hear it makes up 10%...even more in Chicago.

      NOBAMA!!!

      So what you are saying, if he gets all the people that are unlikely to vote he will win? I hope more of you think like that!

    Obama screwed himself when his said " You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig" That is priceless, what an idiot, at least at the moment he sure was acting like one. Unbelievable. His assistants probably at first said that was clever. Then when it hit the news CNN, Fox they were like "Why did you say that" Political suicide.

    • Posted By: jmd8888 @ 09/10/2008 2:08:43 PM

      This makes me laugh. If Obama were in a race by himself he would still lose.

      • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 09/10/2008 2:24:43 PM

        NO...it would be a tie...he would vote PRESENT...

    You know honestly I really think that different heads of state would be gushing over VP Sarah Palin when she visits their country. They would be like Sarah, Sarah, and Sarah. LOOK how Omar Gadhafi gushed over condee Rice I support my darling black African woman," he said. "I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. ... Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her, and I'm proud of her, because she's a black woman of African origin.
    The different heads of state will be like "We will do what Sarah wants" She will be great at international realations!!!

    Excellent article.... You Obama supporters need to read this....

    I Can???t Help Myself???Advice for Democrats, Part I
    By Andrea Tantaros
    Republican Political Commentator

    Dear Democrats,

    You still don???t get it. Election Day is weeks away and you appear as discombobulated as Republicans did a few short months ago. Your anger at the GOP, at Bush, at anyone who is unlike you in mindset and values is more than palpable, it???s nauseating, even for the centrists in your party. I know you are ticked at our current President (I can appreciate that sentiment on some fronts) but you are doing major damage to your cause. Your nominee looks weak, his running mate is worthy of a missing person???s report, and your party looks rattled. It is rare that I give you advice, but I can???t help myself.


    Tighten up and pick a message. I know McCain effectively yanked the change mantra out of your hands when he selected Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate and your nominee settled on establishment fixture Joe Biden, but you???ve got to get over it. There are other ways to go after Republicans. You tried the John McBush routine. It bombed. There is no plausible way anyone would believe McCain is Bush when conservatives still bristle at the mere mention of his name and resisted warming up to him until two weeks ago. (Remember immigration reform, campaign finance, stem cell research, etc.? Many conservatives do.) You can broaden that theme. (Pssst! We???ve been running the White House for the last eight years.) Run against our brand.

    • Posted By: News and Notes @ 09/10/2008 2:02:42 PM

      Obama made a fatal error by passing Hillary over as VP, and he went with a dud like Biden. McCain made an exciting choice. Obama needs to regroup and admit (at least to himself), that he screwed up and needs to be more humble.

    • Posted By: SEA Observer @ 09/10/2008 10:22:04 AM

      Part II:

      Reign in the lefties. It???s time you told the progressives to stop being so awful. Especially to Sarah Palin. It???s like they have nothing else to do but call people names and insult their choices. Where???s the tolerance you preach? I???m wondering, is this some kind of bizarre revenge on the popular girl who rejected them in junior high manifesting itself? How low do Obama???s poll numbers need to drop before they realize that, just like junior high, taunting the ???it??? girl to get a reaction doesn???t work. They are hurting the man you want to elect and reversing all of his efforts up until this point. Do Senator Obama a favor: tell them to shut down their laptops and head to anger management for the next two months.

      Get off defense. In politics, when you???re explaining, you???re losing. The only thing we???ve heard out of the Obama camp since Denver are excuses on why your candidate didn???t get a bigger bounce after your convention, why the polls are wrong, and why Barack has more experience than Sarah Palin. Senator Obama: you should not be comparing yourself (the top of the ticket) to Palin (the bottom of the Republican ticket). It looks bad. Plus that???s my job.

      And what???s with the lipstick on a pig comment? I don???t think you meant to call her a pig but you are being labeled classist, sexist and rude. Rookie mistake.

      Democrats, you still have time to turn it around, and not with those veiled jabs at McCain???s age and stability. By executing real discipline. By intelligently going on offensive on this issues you can win, like the economy. And by not letting us distract you so damn much.

      This is what you like to call the fierce urgency of now. Simply put: check yourself before you wreck yourself. If your motto is change you can believe in, right now is the time for some change???believe it.

    Well, C. MacLean is a little confused what substance is. C. MacLean believes Obama has substance, so let us look at his substance. He believes that everything we own, we do so that the pleasure of the government. Obama has said that America is great because of our government not because of our citizens. He has NEVER been in a leadership position (not at the local, state, or federal level). And don???t count that ACORN socialist community organizer garbage. I would bet he is not even capable of wear the pants in his own house.

    C. MacLean (male or female) is a chauvinist. The real reason you and your socialist Obama supporters don???t like Palin is now your presidential candidate (the almighty O) who can not live up to McCain and now he can not measure up to Palin. It is so so sad.

    C. MacLean???s comments about McCain avoiding the issues come on the almighty O can not give the same answer on any issues he is asked about. The beauty queen shows once again you are a chauvinist (male or female)

    The cover picture is great and I would really like to thank the Obama media of Newsweek for not putting his mug on yet another cover.

    • Posted By: C. MacLean @ 09/10/2008 11:10:58 AM

      Never said I thought Obama did or didn't have substance, but at least we know what he believes. We don't know anything important about Palin's beliefs about the critical issues we face. All we know about her right now is that she manages to capture all the symbols that republicans thrive on.

      As far as I can see, McCain picked her ONLY because she is a pretty face and a mother - I'm not the chauvinist. If she turns out to have any substance to her besides her symbolic appeal, McCain won't be one, either.

      But at the moment, all she has to recommend her is her x-chromosome. I have one, too, but I try not to make an issue of it.

      • Posted By: Pupster @ 09/10/2008 12:07:39 PM

        Picking Palin was the best thing to ever happen to the Dems. McCain made a risky gamble...and he lost. The rank and file seem to be enchanted with this fresh new face, but the Party stalwarts hate her. They have only contempt for her shoddy resume. And now all these scandals are coming out. Even her lovely family, spit shined and charming at the convention, is not what they seem. And it's all about to come out.

        Meanwhile, on the electoral map, Obama is smartly manuveuring his ground game. Don't the Repubs learn? Didn't they watch Hillary's mistakes? It's the state electoral wins, just as during the primary it was delegate count --- not popular vote or national numbers. If anything, this Palin pick has revved up the Dem base as nothing else could. The Jewish vote and Florida is now strongly Obama. Pro-choice women, including Hillarybots, have let go their misgivings and gotten solidly behind Obama. Students and young people who see their reproductive rights challenged and McCain about to re-instate the draft are more motivated than ever. Without Palin, fundraising was anemic and complacency was settling in, but no more.

        Thanks, Palin. Your story is juicier than a soap opera, and you've scared us straight. This will be an entertaining 2 months to election day.

        • Posted By: News and Notes @ 09/10/2008 2:00:51 PM

          What is the source of your information? Whether you agree with his politics or not, McCain chosing Palin was a brilliant strategic move. He scooped up the right wing and is nibbling away at independents. Obama is not meeting his fundraising goals. Instead of focusing on Obama's views on issues, we're talking about lipstick on animals. Personally I'm curious to see how Palin's policy opinions differ from her personal views

  • Posted By: SEA Observer @ 09/10/2008 2:00:03 PM

    John McCain is a ???hero??? to U.S. taxpayers for his lifetime record of resisting earmarks, while Barack Obama and Joe Biden are ???hostile??? and ???unfriendly,??? a government spending watchdog group has concluded.

    In its new report, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste gave the Republican presidential nominee a 100 percent rating for his votes in the Senate last year, and a lifetime score of 88 percent.

    By comparison, the nonpartisan, nonprofit group, which is the lobbying arm of Citizens Against Government Waste, assigned Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, 10 percent last year and a lifetime score of 18 percent. Biden, Obama???s running mate, scored 0 percent last year and an overall score of 22 percent.

    Higher scores mean stronger resistance to federal earmarks. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate, was not included because the ratings evaluate only members of Congress.

  • Posted By: josemarti @ 09/10/2008 10:50:52 AM

    He boys and girls. Did you see the piece by Friedman in the NYT today. He wonders why Obama comes accross as so detached, and unemotional. COULD IT BE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT BELIEVE A WORD HE SAYS?

    • Posted By: News and Notes @ 09/10/2008 1:57:33 PM

      It is ironic that so many who were falling all over Obama in the primaries are now turning on him

  • Posted By: JDinHouston @ 09/10/2008 1:39:15 PM

    What I learn from this article and am seeing in the campaign is that Sarah Palin is a shape shifter, constantly changing her views and how she presents herself to the public. For then against, running against corruption while hiding her own corruption, seeking and using power for the sake of power, she is all attack and no substance. In Texas I'd call her all hat and no cattle, with or without lipstick.

    • Posted By: jmd8888 @ 09/10/2008 1:45:45 PM

      You are so easily influenced. It sounds like Obama wrote this himself.

      • Posted By: News and Notes @ 09/10/2008 1:53:18 PM

        Did Obama write it about himself?

  • Posted By: josemarti @ 09/10/2008 12:23:35 PM

    Senator Obama said today that he was not referring to Governor Palin in his "pigs with lipstick" comment. He said: I was just trying to make a point." He then closed by saying. "Right now my biggest concern is that we are TRAILERing Mr. Mcain and I don't have time for this TRASH. Mr. McCain is trying to CONFUSE the American people. But he will not succeed. By the time the SUN goes DOWN today, my campaing will be back on track."

      It's something called an aphorism. You might want to look it up.

      (Don't worry, we don't judge you. Palin and her supporters tend to be less educated.)

      • Posted By: Pallisor @ 09/10/2008 1:47:10 PM

        The point is Obama meant it.

        Of course now he's back peddling... he did this with his "my Muslim faith" comment last Sunday. Obama continues to make these statements, and then blames the republicans for lies about what he actually said!

  • Posted By: SRaman @ 09/10/2008 12:39:39 PM

    I like Sarah Palilin, I think she is smart, capable, and has raised a new women's issue - juggling career and kids. Although the Republicans wanted to position her brood of kids as a pro-life issue, I see it more as a contemporary issue of a woman wanting to have it all (something that men have done for ages). I salute Sarah Palin for that. But as a woman and as a person looking at her policies, I would never vote for her
    McCain/Palin

    • Posted By: News and Notes @ 09/10/2008 1:44:50 PM

      Personally I'd like to reserve judgement until we see how Palin does in interviews and the debate with Biden. I'm curious to see how her personal opinions influence her policy views. I do think, however, she is not to be underestimated

    One of the strings through out the article was that Palin placed people she knew in high positions. Well it seems like she knows most of the people in Alaska so how could she not put a friend in a high position. Of course she could have placed an out in out enemy in a high position so that her policies could be thwarted. Stupid she is not, brave she is. Troopergate is stupid, The guy she fired should have been and so should many more of the idiots who drink on duty

    careerdaytrader:
    You are only concerned about MONEY. Money is earned through hard labor, but not always so. Businesses can implement strategies to allow them to be riche and richer at the expenses of their hard working people. WalMart, for example, can pay workers so low and ensure that they work the full work schedule, but if WalMart did not have workers to run its stores, it won't have even existed. But WalMart exists and is rich only because of America's ordinary workers.
    Bill Gates does not make operating systems himself, he jsut collects the money and sets policies and directs his workers, but it is middleclass Americans who are making all the proucts, yet they don't get rich (it is the bosses, who just sit and direct the company).
    America's economic opportunities are so uneven and wealth is cocnentrated in the hands of a very few greedy idiots like careerdaytrader.

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/10/2008 1:18:58 PM

      No the rich aren't greedy they just want to GIVE THEIR MONEY, after already paying 50 PERCENT of it to local, state and national taxes to THEIR KIDS rather than to the poor slobs that are the vast majority of the Democrat party!

      Let's see give MY KIDS money or some crack whore from the inner city?
      I think I'll pick MY KIDS thank you very much!

    • Posted By: star3 @ 09/09/2008 8:05:40 PM

      The bosses don't have to do the work anymore, they did their part when they had the brilliant ideas which put things in motion for others to have a job, so now, they can afford to hire people to do the medial work, and most are grateful for it. Your problem is you want to have $$$ given to you, like manna from Heaven, while your only contribution is to whine. Life doesn't work that way. Bill Gates and others like him did work, and thats why others can work. Oh, and by the way, I'll wager a days pay that B.G. often shops ar Wal-Mart.

    • Posted By: SEA Observer @ 09/09/2008 6:14:29 PM

      Iron horse, you are so smart but you are so idiotic at the same time.... Go check with the Walmart workers and see what kind of benefit they have. My wife used to work for Walmart and we now wished that she didn't quit!

      One more thing, if there is no Walmart, do you know how many people will not have a job???? go check it out before running your mouth off
