The Obama Show

Senator Obama is not taking anything for granted, and neither will he take the office nor the American people for granted. His current status has been honorably and hard won. This nation is ready for CHANGE in the strongest ways, and Senator Obama has the greatest chance to encourage that bipartisan cooperation so vital to eliminating the "bi" and replacing it with nonpartisan efforts for the country.

@Morgan2008
You have got to be kidding me when you state that Cindy McCain is independently wealthy?!?! She is an heiress as in she inherited all that money from her family! In no way did she on her own earn that fortune she has. And as for ego, McCain is my Senator and he has a reputation of not seeing his constituents unless it is to his benefit. I know this first hand as I was sent to D.C specifically to represent the people of my state and he did not have time for me for a meeting at his convenience and passed me off on an aide instead. He knew I was a constituent too and a disabled one too I guess my issues despite him representing me were not important enough for his blessed ego.

Loriw,

Don't you feel awkward and self-conscious defending an indefensible position? There is so much factual data swirling around McCain proving him to be a liar, a petulant cheat, and an angry troll. What attracts you to him? Is it his judgement and temper? Seriously.

McCain is desperate. This is his last hurrah. After this, he will start acknowledging his age, and I think he's genuinely afraid of growing old. He's stuck in the past socially and politically, and he constantly surrounds himself with the same type and age of woman.

I honestly feel bad for Cindy. She leads a loveless marriage and probably hasn't slept with her husband in years.

obama states higher taxes to small business and the middle class is going to happen under his presidency.Biden states international crises under obama administration.Reverend Wright,Father Flager,William Ayres do we really need this crap? Vote McCain/Palin vote for America.

obama is surrounded by corruption,drugs,crime,terrorist and flag burning anti Americans.What ever happened to electing honesty and integrity?McCAIN IS THE CLEAR CHOICE.

Just One Man???s Opinion
People, I really don't care who you vote for, it is your choice and your right, I respect that, but by the same token you should also respect my choice, you have to give respect to get respect.
While I agree that all of this bickering between party followers must end for the greater good, you should know a few things about the candidate you choose, after all, they are going to govern all of us for the next four years.
Know this; I am sure you have seen it yourselves. A great number of people, especially the candidates, are doing and saying some of the same things seemingly oblivious to what all of this is doing to this country and how it makes this country look to all others.
Other nations are watching this election almost, if not closer, than we ourselves apparently are. Do some actual research before choosing and then vote for your guy or gal, but don't force that choice onto others.
Some of us are making a mockery of our election system and everything it stands for. Some of us don't seem to understand that when we support those who only seek to divide us in order to gain a monetary profit, we are voting for and supporting people who care nothing about this country, let alone any of us.
Some of us just don't get it at all, if John McCain was to win this election, America would truly lose in more ways than anyone can now imagine, because we would simply be giving power right back to those who have only abused it against all of us for the past eight years.
Some of us just don't understand that a John McCain win will send a clear message to those who believe that prosperity should only be a right of the top 5% of this nation and that they have an additional right to get richer at the expense of the remaining 95% of this country.
Some of us don't understand that the 95% of this nation getting screwed are sick of it and are doing all that they can to prevent its continuation. Some of us don't seem to actually get the results of the last eight years of Republican rule or what that rule has done to this country internally and externally.
Just look around you; is anybody you know better off than they were eight years ago? Are you? Is the country?
With our economy in shambles, people losing their homes, most of our jobs sent elsewhere in the world and with this nation no longer respected globally by any nation, when are we all going to say ENOUGH? If not right now, when?
No, some of them don't understand how we can now believe in hope and that those who have run this country into the ground over the last eight years have clearly shown us by the results of their rule, they truly believe that the needs of the few, clearly outweighs the needs of the many.
Now tell me, is that putting ???country first??? or ???profits first????

Watch the crowds at McCain/Palin rallies on this video:

Then ask yourself seriously: "Do I want this to be my America?"


Afterwards, watch this political video with Andy Griffith, Opie and the Fonz. It's a blast from the past.

In the early evening of Friday, December 15, 2000, with Christmas break only hours away, the U.S. Senate rushed to pass an essential, 11,000-page government reauthorization bill. In what one legal textbook would later call ???a stunning departure from normal legislative practice,??? the Senate tacked on a complex, 262-page amendment at the urging of Texas Sen. Phil Gramm.

There was little debate on the floor. According to the Congressional Record, Gramm promised that the amendment???also known as the Commodity Futures Modernization Act???along with other landmark legislation he had authored, would usher in a new era for the U.S. financial services industry.

???The work of this Congress will be seen as a watershed where we turned away from an outmoded Depression-era approach to financial regulation and adopted a framework that will position our financial services industry to be world leaders into the new century,??? Gramm said.

Watershed indeed. With the U.S. economy now battered by a tsunami of mortgage foreclosures, the $30-billion Bear Stearns Companies bailout and spiking food and energy prices, many congressional leaders and Wall Street analysts are questioning the wisdom of the radical deregulation launched by Gramm???s legislative package. Financial wizard Warren Buffett has labeled the risky new investment instruments Gramm unleashed ???financial weapons of mass destruction.??? They have fed the subprime mortgage crisis like an accelerant. While his distracted peers probably finalized their Christmas gift lists, Gramm created what Wall Street analysts now refer to as the ???shadow banking system,??? an industry that operates outside any government oversight, but, as witnessed by the Bear Stearns debacle, requiring rescue by taxpayers to avert a national economic catastrophe.
