Pulling Away

I vote this the weakest attempt by a troll yet to try and make a point against Obama.

So whats your point i thought you was going to make one

Larry Craig
Mark Foley
Ted Haggard

I know that it is hard for you 'traditionalists' to come to grips with the increasingly post-racial nature of America, but Senator Obama is as much 'white' as he is 'black.' Now go back to yelling at kids on your lawn...

Wow. Some things never change.

I do trust that the above sentiment is not shared by the majority of white-Americans. Such bitterness can only lead to a repeat of the riots of the 1960's and I dare say that nothing good could come from such a recreation because blacks today are likewise armed to the teeth. Automatic weapons, 9mm and such are the weapon of choice in this day and time. The streets of America would flow red with blood and that is something all Americans should choose to avoid.

All that needs to be done is for us to respect one another...please! The alternative might prove to totally self-destructive; truely an about face and a plunge into a dark abyss. Vote the facts, not the rhetoric!

Please guys, do not use such vulgar and cruel attacks/remarks to each other. Thiat is how Newsweek and the political establishment wants us to be. They want us to attack each other and forget what criminials they are. You are placing your anger in the wrong direction. Cancel your subscription to Newsweek and you will feel much better. Both of you stay away from politics for awhile,, until you become levelheaded. Listen to some Led Zeppelin or Crosby, Stills, and Nash, then you'll feel new again.

McCain is a [Acorn Man] and other Republicans too !!!

40% of Acorn's Registered Voters have been [Republicans]

Hahahaha !!

On Monday, the Democratic-leaning group ACORN, which has been painted as a criminal enterprise by the GOP for its voter registration and housing policy efforts, pushed back against its critics by producing a photo of John McCain attending its March 2006 rally.



It was a reminder that, for all their electoral histrionics, Republicans have aligned themselves with ACORN in the past.

Indeed, in addition to the McCain photo, there is a host of examples of prominent McCain surrogates attending ACORN events, signing ACORN legislation, or complimenting the group's efforts.

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, for example, partnered with ACORN in March 2008 for a "Homeownership Promotes The Economy" taskforce. More recently, Crist declared that -- contrary to GOP outrage -- he was not upset with the group's voter registration efforts in his state. The New York Times reported that ACORN supported a law signed by Governor Crist, which "changed the rules last year to restore the voting rights of about 112,000 former convicts."

In July 2005, meanwhile, another Republican governor, Rick Perry of Texas, signed ACORN's Lending Law Reform Bill that changed the state's homelending practices.



In July 2008, California Governor and McCain supporter Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that ACORN helped draft aimed at California homeowners facing foreclosure.


In June 2007, Minnesota Governor and McCain VP short-lister Tim Pawlenty signed a similar bill -- drafted by ACORN -- that helped homeowners get fairer deals on their mortgages.

"The legislation was drafted according to recommendations made by a predatory lending study group established by Swanson prior to the legislative session," wrote the Northwestern Financial Review. "The study group contained representatives from the banking industry and the mortgage brokers association, as well as consumer advocates from organizations such as Illegal Aid and ACORN."

As Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney signed an anti-predatory lending bill that ACORN supported. In February 2006, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman met with the ACORN Katrina Survivors Association. And back in July 2005, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg actually got a kiss from ACORN's state leader, according to the publication City Limits, during an announcement that the city would protect or create 65,000 affordable units in a new housing proposal. Bloomberg, it should be noted, has not endorsed a candidate.

The article repigs do not want you to see

Icyeyes - you need to catch a clue. Rezco case is already over (year ago) - and there was nothing there. We can talk about meaningless issues - like why Todd Palin wants Alaska to secede from US - or we can talk about what matters - the economy, the wars, etc... You're an angry guy Icyeyes - take a break!

Go back to the trailer where you came from, a$$ho!e.

a one vote majority cannot override a fillibuster, nor can it override a veto. Your logic and argument skills are poor to say the least. Your over simplifying a complex issue, and to blame one party and not the other party is beyond stupid. They are both guilty.

It's Obama vs. McCain. Every question of Obama can and should be asked of McCain....and he comes up wanting.

nowforthedistraction, did you know that the NON-PARTISAN group Disabled Veterans of America gave a rating of 80% to Senator Obama and a rating of only 20% to Senator McCain?? Didya?? Oh, and don't worry, i wont tell Rush and Sean that you have been watching the MSM

The gas price went down because the economy tanked. Unless you want to claim that Bush purposefully tanked the economy in order to reduce demand and lower gas prices, then your argument is worthless.

This year's sky-high oil prices are partly responsible for the drop. Since oil hit $100 a barrel for the first time early this year, Americans (who consume one-quarter of the world's energy) began cutting back. When gas began selling above $4 a gallon, American consumers made "a psychological shift into the sense of crisis and a sense of permanence," says Greg Priddy, oil analyst for the Eurasia Group in Washington. Instead of believing that gas prices would finally fall again, many began changing their daily habits ??? they started driving the smaller car in a two-car garage or consolidating shopping trips. That has meant a huge slump in Americans' gas use. Even before the market meltdown, Americans consumed 800,000 barrels of oil a day less during the first half of this year than the same period last year. As demand fell, so did prices, and as prices have fallen, investors have begun pulling money out of the oil market, fearing a collapse, says Leila Benali, an expert on Middle East oil for the Cambridge Energy Research Associates in Paris, adding: "People are getting nervous about demand next year. There is talk of a global recession."
