Johnson Out

Correction: My statement should have read- Kudos to "No McSame" and "Hugh". ("Almonds" is nuts!)

Kudos to the two posters "No McSame" and "Almonds" for putting forth intelligent arguments that actually focus on the issues. I think, if more on this site would do the same, people would be inspired to learn the facts and concentrate more on relevant issues and less on soap opera-type nonsense.

How could he quit? I thought he didn't work for Obama.

Was it a tangential resignation?

Barack Obama – Judgment that comes with AGE:

..... WE CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!!!

Following the logic of the republican attack machine here... People should not be allowed to vote if they have countrywide loans. Yes, having a low-interest loan is a shameful thing! [yeah right]

John McCain – Judgment that comes with AGE:

"There’s not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along." [MSNBC, 4/23/03]

"Because I believe that the success will be fairly easy," [CNN, 9/24/02]

"We’re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad." [CNN, 9/29/02]

"But the point is that, one, we will win this conflict. We will win it easily." [MSNBC, 1/22/03]

"But I believe that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators." [NBC, 3/20/03]

"It’s clear that the end is very much in sight." [ABC, 4/9/03]

"This is a mission accomplished." [This Week, ABC, 12/14/03]

"I’m confident we’re on the right course." [ABC News, 3/7/04]

Ok, so this guy who was not involved in making policy, was not being paid, was not a lobbyist, and did nothing illegal. Is somehow tainted. Am I getting this right? he was hired to find people with clean records that could help balance the ticket so that the candidate can pick a running mate. Unlike McCain Policy advisers that still do lobbying work from the bus. Unlike McCain's less than legal campaign loans, that can't be investigated because his buddy in the oval hasn't gotten around to naming anyone to the post that would do such and investigation.
Your slip is showing McCain and Republicans. If you are this desperate, this early, what are you going to have come the fall? You've gone back to promoting the gas tax for cripes sake, you did see where that was the final nail in the coffin for HRC right? Equating withdrawal with defeat is also a weak argument, especially when you can provide specific terms that would entail declaring victory and don't even acknowledge that the entire war and the 4100+ dead in it was based on blatant falsehoods. Your response is to gear up for a 3rd war front in the middle east.
You want to go after this guy because he got a sweetheart deal from a buddy he knew in the business? How about that sweetheart deal you got McCain, when one of your lobby buddies got his company to illegally write off a bunch of debt? glass houses and stones.

Ander Scooper,

DNC only believe "CHANGE"
They got it already. He changed his staffers many times.
His bus is overloaded.

Obama's judgement!

this was his first major task and he blew it!

Obama brags about him having judgment, but so far most of his friends are wacky!! and not much judgment has been shown!

Yeah? Well, he and Michelle take in several hundred thousand dollars more than a million dollars a year. He might not be so sanguine if he were driving to a job at McDonald's, instead of running over his friends and relatives with that great big bus full of campaign cash.

For MOST Americans with actual jobs (or with children in need of transport), the only way to "conserve" gas is to hitch-hike.

Obama says he cant do anything about the gas prices and wants us to conserve instead. He is ok with it going up to $5 or $6 bucks a gallon

I've read all I need to read about BO. I know more about that corrupt, inexperienced, unqualified racist than I care to know. The one thing I know for certain is he's the LAST person who should have access to the WH. In fact, I would be surprised if the man was able to get a security clearance because of all the unsavory DANGEROUS crooks he hangs with.

And just FYI, I live in Illinois. I campaigned for BO when he ran for the Senate. I donated to his campaign. I attended rallies. I met the man in person. I voted for him to go to the Senate (HUGE MISTAKE, NOT to be repeated), but all that was when the Chicago machine had all his questionable "friends" and past corrupt connections COVERED UP. THEY controled the message, much like MSNBO and CNN do now.

Now that he's out of Illinois, they can't control the info anymore. NOW the truth has come out. Thank G-d for the Internet.

Hopefully, he'll be indicted before August. If not, the GOP will stop him in October. They aren't intimidated by him playing the race card. They THRIVE on that kind of politics, in case you haven't noticed.

BO will NOT be the next President. That's a fact.

McCain: Fire Charlie Black

John McCain's chief adviser, lobbyist Charlie Black, worked for some of the world's worst dictators—mass murderers, terrorists, and tyrants. Our new video calls on McCain to fire Charlie Black.

John McCain's primary defender in the Lady Lobbyist Scandal* is a man named Charlie Black.
Black, of course, is a lobbyist. In fact, as the head of the extremely influential lobby shop BKSH and Associates, he's one of Washington's most powerful influence-peddlers. In the Washington Post story today about the lobbyists that populate the upper ranks of McCain's campaign (here's another guy), Black is listed as working for AT&T, Alcoa, JPMorgan, and U.S. Airways. He works and has worked for far more companies than that, however.
Double Speak Express.

Phil Gramm, McCain Co-Chair, Lobbied US On Mortgage Crisis While Advising Candidate On Economic Policy
Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's national campaign general co-chair was being paid by a Swiss bank to lobby Congress about the U.S. mortgage crisis at the same time he was advising McCain about his economic policy, federal records show.
For his work, Gramm and two other lobbyists collected $750,000 in fees from UBS’s American subsidiary. In the past year, UBS has written down more than $18 billion in exposure to subprime loans and other risky securities and is considering cutting as many as 8,000 jobs
Another strong reason not to vote McCain.

Obama said he is for the prices of gasoline going up on a gradual level.

This shows how elitist Obama is.

He said this on an interview on CNBC.

I have not heard McCain ever say that, when the war came to an end in Vietnam, he did not thank his stars for surviving and the prospect to being with his family again; instead, he is going around saying how he understands war better than anyone else, and how the Iraq war was the right thing, and how it would be "surrender" for our troops to come back home anytime soon. This guy has no feelings whatsoever--not for the war fatigue amongst our troops, not for the economy, and certainly, not for our reputation around the world. You may ask yourself: Whom might you trust not to lead this nation into another senseless war? Answer: Certainly not McCain! This, in my opinion, is what national security should be all about.

Obama's gonna have to buy a bigger bus if he becomes president... on ALL of us can fit under!

The last person he will throw out the bus is Michele.... The United States, she says, is “just downright mean.” Never, prior to her husband’s presidential run, had she had a reason to feel proud of it, she told a campaign throng. But by last November, with Barack’s pursuit of the brass ring catching momentum, she suddenly got plenty proud. And confident: so much so that she was moved to tell MSNBC, “Black America will wake up and get it” -- unite and carry him over the finish line.

Where's the change?? Somebody tell me where's the change?
