    Crystal Knight, the new spokesperson for the Obama campaign, said today the candidate fully supports Israel's right to exist. Ms. Knight added that, if Israel is attacked, President Obama would send all the aid approved by the United Nations.

    Here is the last straw of obsurdity for McCain...Straight from CNN
    Sarah Palin may just be the next Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton ??? two previous governors underestimated by the national media who went on to win the White House, John McCain said Monday.

    Bill Clinton - graduated from the Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown with a B.S. in Foreign Service and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa; worked as an intern for Senator Fulbright; won a Rhodes Scholarship to attend University College of Oxford in England; earned his J.D. degree from the Yale University Law School. Palin five different schools, laughable

    Are these two backgrounds comparable?

    Ronald Regan majored in Economics and Sociology in school and began his career as a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT! He managed an economy in California that is larger than most countries. Additionally, he knew how to connect to people. He was not shy with the press.

    Reagonomics aside, Palin has absolutely NOTHING in common with these great men and I believe it is quite a stretch for McCain to allude to it. Maybe he's off his meds? Maybe he has lost it completely.

    So what spin will the Republicans and my fellow bloggers give after what McCain said yesterday? Anyone one, Any one? Buller, Buller, Fry Fry...LMAO

    Ms. Crystal Knight, the new spokesperson for the Obama campaign, had to defend herself against charges that she is anti-Israel. "Look. I am not anti-Israel. I know that my writings suggest that I am. But you gotta understand. I had to appear to be anti-Israel to get tenure at Harvard." Ms. Crystal Knight has been Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard for the last eight years.

    Anger clouds your judgement which pretty much explains McCain judgements. Calm and passive are not the same thing. McCain did a good job by not getting angry but that was only because he did not LOOK at Obama.

    All Obama has to do for the next debate is take something McCain is passionate about and squeeze. McCain's voting record for veterans should do the trick.That was his platform for the convention, so let's start there.

    I felt Obama could have used 'I agree with McCain' less but it was effective in showing that he can agree with republicans on some points and disagree on others. It turned out he was stronger than McCain on a topic that McCain should have been able to leave him speechless. So between Obama AND Biden foreign policy in America will be stronger than with McCain and Palin.

    Ms. Crystal Knight has been named as the new spokesperson for the Obama campaing. She replaces Mr. Kwansi Mifune who resigned today. Ms. Knight leaves her position as Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University to join Mr. Obama's campaign.

    Kwansi Mifune (formerly known as Billy Budd), stepped down today as spokesperson for the Obama campaing after it was reported by Fox News that he had served time for tax evasion. "The Kwansi that I knew is not the Kwansi that I now know I did not know when I then knew him" said Senator Obama.

    To Anju: You seem to be a very nice lady, and tempered in your thoughts. However, this is not a "peace, love, dove, world." I wish it were, but it's not. As you know, the only true funtion of this government is for the security of the people. Income tax, real estate tax, state tax, excise tax. etc., etc. is just a fairly new phenomenon.
    Anyway, after 9/ll, we have not had another attack on our soil. I think that speaks to what the government is supposed to do for the citizens.

    The only person who seemed angry in the debate was McCain and he wouldn't even look at Senator Obama......what's McCain afraid of......his own temper possibly! Senator Obama, as the next president of our country, showed that strength lies in logical thought & process! McCain can't even figure out which side of the bed he slept on last night....he needs to retire in Sedona and leave the presidency to Barack Obama!!!

    Obama for president?? I don't think so! Did you see him in during the debate? Struggling to spit out answers to questions and so rudely cutting McCain off...and then calling him John! Are you serious! This is going to be our next president. A disrespectful, incompetent, inexperienced person. And he is trying not to come across as the angry black man!!! Key words "trying not to". That's what he is. What's going to happen if he gets into position. HIS TRUE COLORS WILL SHOW!!!!!

    The "Vices of their Virtues" which both the candidates have displayed so far clearly manifest that where John McCain would make a "rash" president, Barack Obama's temperament and capabilities are much more suitable for the all-powerful post of the American president.

    Yo, Yo, mother f, - I think I just may have to report you to your superiors. But guess what - they won't care, as they have no journalist integrity.

    Gee, Newsweak - after reading "marksgershensom" - is this a "yo yo" dating service also?

  • Posted By: quasqueton @ 09/30/2008 5:42:44 AM

    Bravo, sharenews! I have no idea where they started calling themselves "mainstream". Hardly. And to AnjuChandel: What do you know about "presidential"? Please reply.

  • Posted By: Anju Chandel @ 09/30/2008 4:31:48 AM

    This is very simple: Barack Obama is "presidential" and John McCain is NOT.

    Your points are rather timely. We need an intellectual to manage our current problems. Clinton was smart but had a southern touch. We have seen what Bush did. War and more war is a bad policy. We simply must give Obama a chance.

      Then you might as well tell NOBAMO too call his troops in from ACORN so they can finish off the rest of their dirty work.

        More ACORN fraud (What Else is New?)
        Clarice Feldman

        As we head toward another election, ACORN is doing what it does best: handing in phony voter registrations and facilitating election fraud. From L.L. Brasier of the Detroit Free Press:

        Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting FRAUDULENT and DUPLICATE VOTER REGISTRATION applications, most of them from a nationwide community activist group working to help low- and moderate-income families.

        The majority of the problem applications are coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has a large voter registration program among its many social service programs. ACORNs Michigan branch, based in Detroit, has enrolled 200,000 voters statewide in recent months, mostly with the use of paid, part-time employees.

        There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications, said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of States Office. And it appears to be WIDESPREAD.

        The long history of ACORNs role in vote fraud and the inexplicable federal funding of this organization are detailed here:

        http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19737



        The Republicans are right to object to providing taxpayer funding for ACORN, a group facing criminal charges in more than a dozen states for fraud that the democrats want to bundle into the bailout See the article below. - Sharenews

        The Democratic ACORN Bailout; Update: Video added
        posted at 7:55 am on September 26, 2008 by Ed Morrissey

        Excerpt:

        LINDSEY GRAHAM told Greta van Susteren that Democrats had their own priorities, and it wasnt bailing out the financial sector:

        And this deal (the bailout) that is on the table now is not a very good deal. TWENTY PERCENT of the money that should go to retire debt that will be created to solve this problem WINDS UP in a housing organization called ACORN that is an ABSOLUTE ILL-RUN ENTERPRISE, and I cant believe we would take money away from debt retirement to put it in a housing PROGRAM THAT DOESNT WORK.

    It doesn't matter if Elmer Fudd or Daffy Duck get elected, the bottom line is that there is something going on in the background that the government plans to do. Look at the value of the Dollar, and the worlds economy for that matter. Folks, The Amero is coming to North America. The dollar will no longer be the currency of choice. Mark my words, NAFTA and the North American Countries have been working on this. They will make it happen. The dollar is crumbling and the US needs to go back to gold! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hiPrsc9g98
