Political Punch

LMAO I loved the reference to Annie Oakley. She made fun of him first. What goes around comes around.

One thing that Obama forgot to mention was that "small town" and country "folk" have is COMMON SENSE, a quality he lacks. Just because we have strong family ties, are comfortable knowing our neighbors, enjoy hunting and eating the game, are regular church goers, does not mean that we are "sheep". We judge people by their actions. Words without actions are viewed as someone who likes to hear their own voice. Thus the expression, "You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"

Don't tell me HOW I feel, because you have no idea. As a history buff, I know that the power of the people is stronger than the power of the government, as long as the government does not take away our right of speech, privacy, right to gather. Oh, wait -- in a Democratic controlled Congress, government has done just that. The Patriot Act, FISA and others have limited those rights.

The time is ripe for a third party - a party of the people, for the people.

By the way, Annie Oakley would never take a "six shooter" out duck hunting. The duck would be blown up with one bullet. That's why there are special guns and ammunition for bird hunting -- they are called a "SHOTGUN and BIRD SHOT". And, there are hunting seasons for ducks -- not "every Sunday".

Senator Obama's comments about Senator Clinton being Annie Oakley was childless and outright stupid. The man needs to grow up, act and think like a rational man and stop his lies and distortions about his achievements (2)?and come up with his very own policies for the future instead of using Senator Clinton's ideas. He is simply a bigot wanting the power this election would give him and will do anything to convince people to vote for him. His oratory skills are his only viable asset. Talk big and deliver nothing is his style. He did this in his south Chicago district.

YEP....obama is a uniter!!

HE IS UNIFYING EVERYONE TO VOTE AGAINST HIM!!!

Obama mocked and outright attacked Hillary today for her downing a shot in Indiana the other night saying it was just a way to get press yet it was Obama who was shown in the media having a beer and bowling (rather poorly) in PA. Talk about a cheap shot and a foul. He did exactly what he is accusing her of doing.

Well Jake as far as the spin machine goes let's see whe believes he was complimenting small town America and who believes the cropped quote that so many in the MSM are putting out.

First he denies...then he lies...next I expect Obama to attack full force...because he knows that the press has his back.

Perhaps this is like any other conflict and it started when his campaign started smearing the other candidates and innocent bystanders as racists...or maybe it started in the pulpit of Oabma's church with profane and racist attacks.

The problem being if you excuse and reward and deny this type of behaviour for some and condemn it in others....the guy that has had it excused and rewarded is going to feel like it's a campaign tactic that works...

I do not think Obama is an elitist...I think he feels like Wright has been excused and accepted and his campaign has profited from playing the race card...I think Obama feels entitiled and frustrated and even bitter,,,After all the MSM has been saying that the election is over and Hillary (who I'm sure he's called every name in the book at similar fundraisers) is still running.

Not elitist just entitled and maybe a little bitter that he is losing in PA.

People!

Do you want to stop the war in Iraq? Do you want the economy to recover? Do you want good-paying jobs to stop leaving the country? Do you want corporations to stop offshoring their business and throwing you out of job, house,and home?

If so, stop attacking the Democratic candidate. Work to register people to vote. It doesn't matter who they vote for. Let the best candidate win. Stop fighting each other, keep your eyes on the prize!

If McCain wins, the economy goes straight down the toilet. Kiss your job goodbye, kiss your house goodbye, and kiss your kids goodbye because they'll be getting blown up in Iraq.

What Obama said is so true. Many of us who have lost our jobs, have no hralthcare, and haven't beleived our government will do anything to help us with economic issues do indeed votre based on issues such as gun-control, religion(abortion and gay rights), immigration, terrorism and war. The politicians use these issues to distract and divide us while they spend our future in Iraq and sell Americans out to Mexico and China. Who wouldn't be bitter?

C'mon! Words don't matter...?

"I hope that Mayhill Fowler isn't being threatened or harrassed by Obama people."

Yes: we should all pray that Fowler doesn't ... fall under a bus, or something. Let's hope she's on vacation, under another name.

I'm listening to the FAUX outrage from Jeffrey Toobin (a classmate of Obama's) on CNN bemoaning the change in strategy of Hillary Clinton. He talks about how she used to talk about healthcare et. al but now she's stooped to criticizing Obama about his condescending remarks.

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!

When she did talk about the issues, no one covered it. They were only interested in slamming her - while they gave a pass to their guy OBama. For the past 2 months, it's been non stop slamming of Clinton.

Now Cafferty - that cranky jerk is saying that most of his e-mails from listeners - tell him this is a non-issue. People do we believe this is a non issue?

Email cafferty at CNN and let him know it does matter that we have a presidential candidate who 'disses' whole segments of our population.

I hope that Mayhill Fowler isn't being threatened or harrassed by Obama people. I wonder how many people are out there afraid to go up against Obama's machine.

I also saw John Mccain would rather run against Clinton. I think he is afraid running against Obama will turn into a racial thing.

Also can you tell me any ex-president and first lady in recent years who have not become rich. Look at Obama he hasn't even won the nomination and he is already rich.

Russ, you're right about his constant stream of mistatements. Remember, this is the man who has promised to meet with America's worst enemies without preconditions or negotiations. Do we really want this man representing us?

"If this actually turns the election, we deserve everything we get. Whatever happened to the proud tradition of the 4th Estate?"

Those who aren't well-fixed mobsters or miscellaneous zillionaires certainly deserve something better than Obama. And Mayhill Fowler -- who outed Obama's remarks at the Gettys' -- deserves a biiig prize.

Heck, I'd be happy if they'd just enforce the existing ones. And as far as anti-trade sentiment - what is it with all of this drive to clean up the environment, go green while all the while Americans are buying almost everything from China where they don't care a hoot about the environment or for the labor force. Have you seen the rivers overflowing with plastic in China? I'd say buy American made products only but thanks to nafta, there just isn't any.

I am religious, I carry a gun and I am for stronger immigration laws, apparently I am atypical.

Wonder how much Hillary's camp pays to have people talk her up on these blogs

Obama has a classification for every American. Typical white person, typical black person and now typical religious, gun totting clinging to illegal immigration issues.

The media is trying to divert Americans attention by bringing up the Clinton's wealth.

I am so tired that the media keeps saying that the Clinton’s are multi-millionaires. I am proud that they are the American dream. They came from very humble backgrounds and both were lawyers that took the route that helped the average American. The Senator from Illinois in the meantime defended a slumlord and past terrorists. He too is a multi-millionaire or was his $1.65 million dollar home somehow did not cost between one and two million dollars. Did the media miss math 101 in the same manner as the Senator from Illinois?

Hillary Clinton’s father worked in the Post Office and her mother worked all her life so that her brother and Sen. Clinton could go to college. Sen. Clinton worked to pay for her dorm and books through her college years. President Clinton’s mother was a nurse and his stepfather worked as well. Through academics, he excelled and this helped his political career. Now the Senator from Illinois is also a millionaire although he has not had the seven years like the Clinton’s to build his wealth.

It took the Clinton’s until they were in their 60s to become multi-millionaires. They earned their wealth by writing books and President Clinton’s speeches. There is nothing illegal about earning wealth this way regardless of the audience. Along the way, they served in the public sector for over 30 years and as far as I recall, they never owned a home until President Clinton retired as President.

Now Fox News reported that Sen. Barack Obama started opposing the Iraqi war one week before Sen. Hillary Clinton starting in 2002.

What I do not understand why Sen. Barack Obama refuses to make an apology for any mistake he makes. The fact remains that the media is the one that always makes excuses for Obama.

Finally, like myself, regardless of what the press says, Hillary people will go to McCain.
