Well, "plyerized4"?? One thing I can tell you for certain. Obama ain't no Jesus! My girlfriiend in Des Moines, Iowa, was a precinct captain for John Edwards. Obama-binLadin was as dirty as dirty can be!
Gee whiz! I haven't seen this advertizement. Of course, Newsweak is just "Obama - our next Messiah", and so are most of the people of that ilk.
"We'll leave it to readers to sort out who's honorable and who's not. "
Then why insinuate in the article that McCain's ad is false or misleading!?
This "fact" check is dispicable. How did the AP verify that the civilians killed were actually civilians and not Taliban? Also, such reckless mouthing off by Obama reveals what he thinks about the job our military is doing.
I suppose he believes that he could lead them a lot better than McCain can.
NOT!
Mike--I could not agree more. At the ripe old age of forty-six, I realized this year why my heart has always said I am a Democrat, even though my head wasn't completely sure of the facts. The Republican foundation seems to be based on an unspoken sense of entitlement--white entitlement, that is. They hide behind their holier than thou values, all the while clinging to their main concerns: their own pocketbooks, and the desperate need for their continued silent battle for white supremacy. As a white, born-again Christian from the Old South, it completely crushed me to have the curtain drawn back to reveal such blatant disingenuity, but I know now that is what it is. They talk the talk, but when it comes to the question of "What would Jesus do?" Their actions speak louder than their words by far. Jesus would care for those who are less fortunate; this is abundantly clear. His concepts are so much simpler than what we've turned them into. It's how the country and the world would best work. Matthew 19:23, Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, Luke 16:14, 1 Timothy 6:10 all address the idea of the pursuit of money over everything else and the harm it can bring. It works both ways, not only for the person, but for the nation as well. I am so tired of the dangerous republican rhetoric. It has become comical at this point. Make your conscience clear. DO the right thing. All races matter--we all came from the same place, ultimately.
BLAME FOR THIS AD "KARL ROVE" THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICAN POLITICS.
A TOTAL LIAR AND FACTS MANIPULATOR, WHO DIRECTED TWICE THE CAMPAIGNS OF
GEORGE W. BUSH, IN ORDER TO WIN ""AT ANY COST "" AND KNOW IS BEHIND THE CAMPAIGN
OF THE "COMPULSIVE LIAR JOHN MCCAIN ",LIKE BUSH; FOR DESASTEROUS RESULTS.
Nothing and I do mean absolutely NOTHING they say or do surprises me anymore. The McCain/Palin group are so far in the gutter, I don't know how they'll ever drag themselves out.
Why what when and where, questions about obama, his college, his hi life style, he says he came from poor little white girl who was taken advantage of by an african, whose family is still in Kenya, and all Muslim,s , his Million dollar home on a salary as a community organizer, with Ayers come on, Obams has more blanks in his life thay John Wayne had in his guns.

It is quite obvious by your rantings that you have not done any research on the questions you spout. Your rhetoric is simply a contiuation of the right-wing hate that has made the world hate America. Do all of us a favor, just simply and straight forwardly admit that you will not vote for Barack Obama, or any other person of color for that matter, simply because of the color of their skin.
Ayers, Wright, Columbia University, etc. are nothing more than modern day excuses for bigots like yourself to justify their attitudes. Everything you need to know about Mr. Obama is available for you to read for yourself, in fact alot of information is available in his own books. Take the time to do more than listen to Fox and Rush for your information.
Nice article full of fluff and no real substance reaffirming Newsweek???s ga-ga love affair with Barack Obama.
First, I gave up my subscription to Newsweek because of its left wing slant.
Second, most white people are not racist but the fact that 98% of blacks vote Obama tells me that this is about race but only in the black community. I used to think that 90% or more of the black community voted democrat was because they are democrats but the overwhelming vote of 95% blacks for Obama over Clinton proved differently.
Third, and most importantly, Obama has a resume that at best would get him an entry level mid-management job. As a past CEO of 4 smaller companies (no golden parachutes or obscene bonuses), I would look at his resume and not see any concrete evidence that he has ever held a position that demonstrated leadership and sound decision making abilities.
Lastly, it disturbs me that such a large number of people are willing to put a person in the most powerful CEO position in the world with the only proven asset being a golden tongue.
Sorry if this offends you liberal idealists with the rose colored glasses that are waiting for an Elmer Gantry to blindly follow to the promised land.
Thank You, the hysterical left is willing to give Obama the Keys to the nucular button with out knowing any thing about Obama's missing years, I do not hane a problem that he is black, I have a problem with is BIO and the fact he is a security risk, his dealing of the past have nothing to do with his color, his past is clouded and murkey, guilt by association is still reason enough to question his character and giving him the keys to all our nations secrets boggels the same mind.

What are you talking about? you come off sounding like a ranting whatever! Guilty by association? McCain sold weapons to Iran in the 80s!!!! Is he guilty by association too????
Vote for the candidate that will bring peace, stability and prosperity to America and that is Obama! McCain has proved from his words that he will wreck the economy further and many more troops will lose their lives for a war that has no end. There should be a time frame for pull out so our boys can come home to a stronger, well-respected country!
It is time for the Iraqi government to spend their $10,000,000,000 billion that they have in excess and give the American economy a chance to get back on the right track.
McCain cannot and will not deliver. I have seen him talk and believe me r not, he will worsen the trend that Bush has started!!!
Vote Barack Obama so America can get back on the right track. Stop the racism and let him get to the business of building the American back!
yea, right. keep thinking this way, and when if obama is elected you will be the first one to defend his policys when he give us up.
Centerpull
I am black and I have always viewed each candidate with respect and have been open-minded about their views and how they'll put America back on the right track. I read your comments and feel you need to open your eyes and see the facts before you.
McCain will only bring doom and more turmoi for the country. He is every bit like Bush!!! America needs peace and stability right now and that is why Obama is my candidate. Not because he's black, but because he doesn't have to sttch the truth to win, he doesn't have to take words out of context to win, he certainly doesn't have to act like a slave owner and throw insults around to win.
I have come to respect Obama and hope he'll be given a chanc e to lead America in the right direction.
Stop being racist and look beyond his colour. See the man for his values and take him for his words because he is a man of honour!
Vote Barack Obama as the next President of the United States of Amerca! God Bless America!!!
I am an independent who, up until these recent ads, was willing to give McCain the benefit of the doubt regarding his obvious poor choice for VP....his knee jerk reaction to the economic crisis.....his inability to focus on issues....and his feeble debating skills. However, the recent ads and blatantly wrong accusations foisted upon us by McCain/Palin have now blasted that doubt out of the sky. I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN this November. He and Palin are NOT who I want running this country.
Dont worry about I am canceling your vote, I dont believe in Abortion lucky you, your mother doest believe in it either

But you for sure beleive in guns, killing animals, war for oil . . . selective killing policies for sure.
yep, you got it libby, I do believe in guns as for killing aminals, most aminals are two leged, hide in their robes and holes and with their women and children. The Nazi's tried it in WWII, in Berlin and they paid the price, 9-11 started all this, and now we are going to finish it, elect bama and watch it all go down the drain, and you will kicking and screaming for some one like John wayne to save your sorry soul, unless you too much of liberal to defend your self, and want some else to do the dirty work.
John McCain will dirty his hands to protect our freedoms, God Bless him.

I'd rather have mccain run our country than some "muslim". The funny thing is that our country is fighting with "obamas kinda people.People are just blinded and narrowminded. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! One day we might just wake up and find that our nation has been destroyed and annialated.
OMYGOD. Your comment is saturated with racism. It bleeds my heart when I think of the pure hate coming out of your statement. Rather than listen to all of the brainwashing the McCain-Palin ticket is doing, educate yourself please. I fear that the McCain-Palin ticket has just told some Americans, its ok, don't repress the racism you???ve managed to keep in the closet, let it out America Simply disgusting!
cn2008, you are just sad and ignorant, just as all racist are! You talk about people being blinded and narrowminded, you must be looking in the mirror! If we were to wake up and find our nation destroyed and annialiated, it would be because of people like you.
Seems to me McCain is leveraging his days in the H Hilton by running a propoganda campaign of hate only equal to the Vietnamese. I think it reveals a lot about both their souls. He is a puppet of his lobbyists, and she just does what she is told. And this campaign style is similar to the bully at school when finally questioned on his motives he tries to redirect attention elsewhere. McCain/Palin, if you feel you're the right choice, show is with wisdom, not 'betchas', winks, and pitbull strategies. Very childish at best. But again, coming from the party of Red level warnings, phone taps, and WMD. . . what can you expect. Expect more of the same. . .
The Republicans are desparate and it will get worse. For those who are uncomfortable with a biracial President, one who is both white and black, consider this -- this is not England in the 1800s. We are not voting in a king. We are electing an entire party that represents a way of life. As for me, I will be voting for the party that represents working men and women. I am voting for a party that stands between us and greedy corporate executives. I am voting for a party that will lead us to peace and prosperity. I am voting Democrat.
Palin needs to go home and tend to her pregnant unwed minor teenage daughter instead of slinging mud with McCain. McCain and Palin should not throw stones when they live in a glass houses. I realize McCain and Palin are losing so they are grasping at straws but they should consider acting with dignity. And now McCain is pimping out Palin. Just like Bush and Cheney, McCain and Palin have no integrity or honor.
Get a life, your a perfect candidate for socialist slave.

In the final analysis, Americans will want a party in office that will lead the United States .to peace and prosperity -- not just for 5% of the population, but for all of us. I believe that the Democratic Party will help strengthen the lower and middle class. And for those white Americans who find a biracial President distasteful -- remember this -- this is not England in the 1800s. We are not electing a king with no checks and balances. This is the United States of America and we are voting for a party and its ideals. As for me -- I am comfortable with the ideals of the party that reprsent working men and women, not greedy corporate America.

Presidental candidates should be held to a standard. Ads that contain this many lies should be banned by the TV networks. This is disgusting that they can do something like this in America. I have lost all respect i had for Senator McCain when he started doing all the negative ads and the HATE rallies. Wake up America and stop this kind of Political Abuse!!

I am soooooooooooooo very sick of hearing the "attack ads"! Does the McCain camp really think that they American people are dumb and won't look into what is fact and fiction?
How can we expect Mr. McCain to represent our country when he can't even look his opponent in the eye?
This might be why he is loosing in the polls!
He is a LIAR and I think that it is honorable the way in which Mr. Obama just sticks to the facts.
Hang in the Obama...let the old man hang himself!
MR. Obama just sticks to the facts!!! Are you kidding me!! Try thinking for yourself and do your homework before you make comments like that one.
cn2008... #1: Obama is Christian. #2: There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world and over a million Muslims in the US. Do you really believe that we are fighting "them"? #3: You are a moron.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM????
It clearly says that we are "air-raiding villages and killing civilians which is causing enormous problems there."
What's causing enormous problems?????
ANSWER: "AIR-RAIDING VILLAGES AND KILLING CIVILIANS"
Obama said it.
But please remember, "Obama really didn't mean it like it sounded, what he really meant was...." Why can't he just say what he really means in the first place rather than saying something, sitting on it for awhile and then changing the true meaning of what he said. He's very untrusting.
