Political Punch

First of all, thanks, Jake and Sunlen, for providing the exact quotes of Obama addressing the problem. It is so ironic that this man, whose speechifying in 2004 I and many others found so riveting, cannot, in fact, speak well extemporaneously.

Second, for the person who just posted that Obama should pick Hillary as VP: Senator Clinton should stay as far away from this empty suit conman as she possibly can. Obama is political kryptonite. Gov. Strickland was very wise to vehemently state he has absolutely and unequivocally NO INTEREST in being Barack's VP.

I actually think BO's campaign is supposedly keeping their options open for choosing her, just so people think that his candidacy might eventually have SOME value by adding her to it. She will surely refuse any such offer. If Obama's campaign had any guts, they'd just state now that they aren't going to offer it, or make the offer and have it refused. But fake, future "hopey-changey" promises are all they have.

Bring back the actual, qualified, dignified, America-LOVING candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton! She will bring our country back to where it belongs!

For the person who thinks this is a non-story about nothing -- if you believe that two of the three people looking for his V.P. pick AREN'T working for him -- then what do you believe is a story?

Honestly, how much nonsense has to come out of Senator Obama's mouth before someone finally admits that the emperor has no clothes? This man is like the Democratic George Bush.

Whenever he is caught in a lie, or one of his nefarious associations is exposed, his answer is: I didn't know.

Are you kidding me? This man has no record to speak of -- he is running on speeches that someone else wrote for him and the fact that he has great judgment -- what great judgment? The great judgment that kept him in that church for twenty years?

Either he believes that stuff or he was just there for political street cred -- neither scenario is a positive one.

He did deals with Tony Rezko -- he didn't know? More good judgment.

Now Johnson?

He may also be having a problem with Holder?

What great judgment?

Obama fix your situation about the V.P. vetting team. Pick Hillary ASAP so she can start helping you raise money and campaign hard against McCain nationally.

Obama will face a difficult ugly election against the G.O.P. elite. If elected, Obama will need experienced advisors that advise him, due to his great lack of national and international experience. Considering how screwed up the nation is under the Bush administration, economically, war on two fronts, Iran threat, terrible international relations, energy crisis, private contractors stealing from the government, etc. It is apparent Hillary Clinton whom is now the most popular national female leader in the country with 18 million voters, can campaign stronger nationally than any other potential V.P. Hillary is a tough experienced leader able to help Obama avoid the pitfalls of Washington during his first term. The Clinton's can provide needed presidential experience unlike any other single state governor or senator. Half the Democratic Party voted they like Hillary. What other V.P. could get 18 million votes campaigning alone?

It is Obama's turn to unite the Democratic Party and win over Hillary's supporter's and then make Hillary the V.P. to support Obama in fixing our country's major problems.

Who is vetting John McCain's folks?

You all should be ashamed of yourselves. This is a non-story about nothing. And if it is a story, let's please put the same sort of petty klieg light gotcha machine on everyone of McCain's employees.

Oh yeah and ever heard of the S&L scandal.

thku4grace: You are right about the Chicago politics. I was born and raised in Chicago on the near west side where many residents had city jobs. And some didn't go to work everyday. Daley's father knew how to run this city better than his son. But politics in Chicago is different now and Obama is connected to the Daley machine. If elected Chicago will get whatever they ask for. Remember, Daley endorsed Obama. When you walk into city hall many of the workers are busy with coffee or on the phone with a personal call. However, I am voting for McCain and the more of Hillary's voters that do the better and the less for Obama.

Anne: Right you are. And some of those speeches he made are from RFK's book of speeches given to him to study. His close friend Richard had to give him his speech so he would know what to say on the platform. Someone said he was a Law Professor. Is that in title only? I understand he was a salesman at one time and learned how to sell himself to the public. I can't believe the people of this country can be so fooled by him.
I am voting McCain because a vote for McCain makes lesser votes for Obama.

jr: You are exactly right. Obama's mother was denied passage on the plane to Hawaii and Obama was born in Kenya. She came later to register him in Hawaii and I don't know if she did, but he was registered in Kenya. A commentor tracked it down and it was on the internet about two months ago that's how I found out.

All who supported Hillary and also donated to the DNC, ask for your money back, they have to give it back to you within a certain window of time. Get it back and donate it to Hillary.

I think you people want to make name for your self
there are so many important things to talk about or write
you should think how we can move front
stop stabing people.
they work as a volunteer which any body can do
it is the man at the top to make conclution
The man who make the econonic to be in shamble today what we will you say to him
Mr clean
we should think how we can move on
if we look into your history Mr clean when you start or befor you start.
Are economic is in problem
lets think as one , to support him .
The people who write bad about people,
if they ask to do the job they can not do notting
Tell them keep quate

Whats preposterous is Tucker Bounds also saying that John McCains "Its not important when the troops leave Iraq" didn't mean that John McCain doesn't think thats its important when the troops leave Iraq. And by the way, whos vetting Sen McCains staff of Lobbyists these days? Tucker "out of " Bounds?

Is anyone surprised that Obama, the media darling during the primaries, is any different that the typical politician? Just about anyone with a brain knows that despite the rhetoric, all politicians are "connected" in one way or another to lobbyists and other insiders. It's the "old boys" club...and these people are more about looking out for themselves than the more important issues of the nation. Hey Obama...can you have your boy Johnson hook me up with one of those mortgage deals? The savings would help me offset rising fuel and energy costs.

Thank you for covering this, Jake Tapper. Obama and his dirty cronies are hypocrites.

I hear a giant bus rumbling down the road.

Yeah, so what were you all expecting? I think too many were believing the headlines that Obama was a different sort of politician. Give me a break! Those that believe that have never looked into his Chicago politics as usual background. Chicago politics are the most corrupt in the nation by far. The Chicago political machine is deeply flawed to put it mildly and deeply ingrained. Chicago politics make Zimbabwean politics look tame and honest. There are those that believe Obama isn't tainted with special interest money. Wrong again! It only the manner that Obama takes money that is different. He takes his money from the wives and family members of those that are labeled as special interest people. So I guess that means he isn't taking special interest money. Yeah, right! Special interests are also helping by rounding up their contributors and packaging it as individual donor contributions what would have been called special interest money in past elections. This is a farce!

The fact that the media has made this big of a deal over where his vetters got their mortgages from is a little disconcerting to me...But i forgot, they are in the tank for him...

The entire 2 party system is BROKEN. Stop perpetuating it. Voters should take DEMs to the cleaners in 2008 like they did to GOP in 2006. Here's the list of corrupt DEMs - Jim McGrevey - Former NJ GOV, Elliott Spitzer - former NY Gov, Acevado - Puerto Rico Gov, Kilpatrick - Det Mayor, Jefferson - LA congressamn, Blagojevich - IL Gov. Obama should be proud. Where's all the media reports claiming a Culture of Corruption in Democrativ Party? Hmmm? Seems like we had endless stories in 2006 when it was GOP turn. The media is truly disgraceful. VOTE NADER.

When put on the spot he just can't deliver , he stammers just a little too much for my taste. He's great at reading speeches but during any debate he just can't get it together and just doesn't sound convincing.

How have we nominated such weak, egotistical and ignorant people to lead this great country...both are nothing more than crony politicians with no record of any achievements. How did the 3 candidates become millionaires when these Professional Politicians can't even run a decent campaign and have never in their lives produced anything of value nor had to work for a real paycheck. None of these candidates could succeed outside of being on the Government Dole and that goes double for the crooked millionaire Public Servants like the Clintons.

Barak Obama makes Bush sound like Daniel Webster! I mean, um, you know, er, what I'm saying, huh?

Obama is the anti-Christ spoken of in the New Testament of the bible. He certainly fits all the criteria, including fooling the fools.

...though in his defense, doesn't half of the homeowners in America have a mortgage with Countrywide?? [SMILE]

Stammer, stammer, stammer... how many times did he say "you know?" I counted 6 times in the one response to the question. Don't they teach you in Introduction to Speach" that you don't use "you know" or "ummm" or any other space saver. Just pause, decide what you want to say, then say it. And he's "The Great Orator?"

Well - Maybe obama would not have to Vet the Vetters - IF the DNC had of VETTED OBama!

I have lately been quite disappointed in Obama.

I suppose I wanted him to be "different" and not "just another politician" who taps into the the Democratic power establishment without regard to the person's ethical record.

I have supported Obama and understand that he may feel he needs to play the game like everyone else. But this one supporter did not vote for him for that reason or donate to him to be like everyone else.

The hipocracy never ends.

jpt writes:
"Did I read that correctly? Did Obama claim that Johnson and Holder -- two of the three people heading up his VP search committee -- aren't "work"ing for him?

I suppose that's because they're unpaid, but my stars, that's a lot of high-level, time-consuming sensitive effort to not be considered "working" for Sen. Obama."

"Sensitive" effort? Yeah, right: "sensitive".

Read all about it (from Reuters Canada):

--Lindy--- I agree with you. Americans have been manipulated and conned by Senator Obama, his campaign, his supporters and the DNC. Obama has ruined the Democratic Party with his far right politics and his disrespect for the white middle/working class. His idea of HOPE is for voters to believe him and his bogus promises and CHANGE is his intent to put radical socialist policies in place. He has no real solutions to the problems facing our country other than more empty words.

Without Hillary to point a finger at, Obama does look pretty stupid doesn't he?

Strickland and Boren refused to kiss his ring today. Just the beginning of a 5 month reality session that is going to end in his defeat.

When Sen. John McCain addressed the nation's burgeoning mortgage mess this year, he insisted it was time for a little "straight talk."

"I will not play election-year politics with the housing crisis," the GOP presidential hopeful insisted while unveiling his plan, which many have since described as friendlier to the mortgage industry than the Democrats' proposals.
OK here is some straight talk ----who is vetting MCSAME and his kick back lobbying team.
What McCain did not say - which some believe smacks of politics - is that two of his top advisers were recently lobbyists for a notorious lender in the mortgage meltdown.

John Green, the senator's chief liaison to Congress, and Wayne Berman, his national finance co-chairman, billed more than $720,000 in lobbying fees from 2005 through last year to Ameriquest Mortgage through their lobbying firm, disclosure forms reviewed by the Daily News show.

Ameriquest, which since has been bought out, was forced to settle suits with 49 states for $325 million. More than 13,680 New York homeowners got taken for a ride by the company, records show.

"They would be defined as the most blatant and aggressive predatory lenders out of everybody," said Bruce Marks, head of the nonprofit Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America.

SO there

so lets see who needs vetting

OK lets see McCain’s advisers have a history of using their connections to the senator to win lucrative contracts, raising questions about the independence of their work now. McCain, similarly, has pushed for positions that have benefited his advisers’ past and current clients. Some examples of the lobbyist ties of McCain’s senior staff: So lets see who needs vetting

– Rick Davis, Campaign Manager: Between 2002 and 2005, Verizon paid Davis $640,000 to lobby on its behalf. Davis signed Verizon up as a client in 2001, just a year after he managed McCain’s first presidential campaign. McCain served as Senate Commerce Committee chairman for most of that time. Verizon and Davis terminated their contract after 2005, when McCain gave up the chairmanship. [Senate Lobbying Database; USA Today, 3/23/08]

– Christian Ferry, Deputy Campaign Manager: Ferry “partnered with Davis in representing SBC and Verizon from 2003 to 2005.” [USA Today, 3/23/08]

– David Crane, Senior Policy Adviser: Crane is a lobbyist and president of Quadripoint Strategies and “served as a senior policy advisor” to McCain on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. “He previously worked as a lobbyist and senior vice president for Global USA and The Washington Group. His clients have included Bank of America, the Financial Services Roundtable, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.” [Media Matters, 2/26/08]

– John Green, Congressional Liaison: Green is co-founder and managing director of Ogilvy Government Relations, one of Washington’s most powerful lobbying firms. Recently, McCain pushed the Pentagon to open the bidding process for new Air Force tankers to EADS — a European company — “a move loudly objected to…by numerous members of Congress.” Green received $1,080,000 to lobby for EADS, although he is now on a “leave of absence” from Ogilvy. [AP, 3/11/08]

– Thomas Loeffler, Campaign Co-Chairman: Loeffler is founder, chairman, and senior partner at the Loeffler Group. While serving as McCain’s national finance chairman, Loeffler also lobbied for EADS in the Air Force deal. [AP, 3/11/08]

This is just one reason why Hillary should have been our nominee!

Obama only leads McCain by 2 points in Massachusetts.
*******************************

Obama is up by 13 in Mass.
Stick to reliable pollsters..Rasmussen, Gallup, CNN

Can't wait for all the change and hope to start...

cindy in nc:
You hit the nail on the head!
Due to his thin resume and lack of
experience Obama has chosen to run
on his "judgement"!
Well even if you concede him his position on the Iraq War, his
judgement is poor to say the least!
McCain is the only rational and sane choice in November!

When are Americans going to realize that you're all fighting with each, by design of the Greed, so that the Greed can take everything from you? It is Divide and Conquer strategy, the same one the U.S. govt used to commit genocide against the natives of this continent. If any of you were smart, you'd stop fighting each other, and start fighting the Greed. Because it's destroying all of you. Liberal or Conservative, you're all losing, as long as you keep fighting each other. You've been manipulated, and conned.

I'm a loyal Hillary supporter who will probably vote for Obama as I could never be upset enough to vote Republican and get more of what we've had the past eight years. If he chooses Hillary as his running mate it's a sure win for him. There may be a few of her supporters voting for McCain, but not enough for him to win. I hope Obama is wise enough not to be influenced by The White Male Sexist Club of Politicians that did everything in their power to ensure a woman did not win the nomination. I really think she could be a great asset to his campaign and his Presidency (he WILL be President if he chooses her). If she would be willing to be VP her supporters will not let her down.

Who is Johnson working for if not Obama? I don't get this. Obama has said that this decision is THE most important decision before becoming president. It amazes me that some people are blowing this off as unimportant. OBAMA said the vetting process was important. So if OBAMA thinks it is imortant, shouldn't he have people who he trusts vetting the candidates? To say that Johnson's trustworthiness is not relevant because he is just "doing an assignment"....huh? Come again?

It is so hypocritical. Dean just got done sending out a notice that lobbyists were not allowed to donate to DNC anymore - but the team that vetts the VP CAN be. The VP is almost more important than the President, folks. This guy or gal will be in the Congress and breaks ties... The legislative power is in the VP and the VP has it in with the Pres.

PS: to the person hoping Obama's birth location could make him exempt. His mother was American. It does not matter where he was born. (McCain was born outside the US - I think his parents were military?) Anyway... I don't think location matters so long as at birth he or she is born American.

Ohhh here comes some breaking news for ya, Obama is not eligible to be president of the USA!!!! They said he was born in Hawaii, when in fact they have no birth certificate, but Mobassa, Kenya does have a birth certificate for one Barack Obama, born in 1961 on the exact day this Barack Obama was born, that makes him ineligible to be President of the USA!!! You have to be born on US Soil to be eligible to be a US President, Obama's resignation will be coming soon.. WATCH FOR THIS STORY COMING SOON TO ALL NETWORKS!!!!

Why does Obama want his VP to be vetted. Obama hasn't been vetted and he would have the #1 spot. He is a pompous idiot!!!

Least we forget, Obama is related to Cheney. How perfect.

I'll take the old, experienced guy over the foolish, inexperienced 1/2 term senator any day, thanks.

No need to bring race/age into this, there are plenty of white kids and old black people to go around.

McCain will be our next president. It was ours to lose and lose we will. Enjoy your Obama moment.

maggie,

As far as Obama- two words to explain his education:

Affirmative Action

It is difficult to tell with Obama whether his declared non-issues are issues or not. We have the fellow he talked to once in a great while, Tony Rezko, and just the guy who lives in his neighborhood.. William Ayers.

So it may indeed be nothing, but I am more concerned about how Obama handled "nothing". If he does this well with "nothing"..what is he going to do when it is "something"?

I trust this man to assist in picking a VP candidate, but that doesn't mean he works for me or even know him really. I actually just met him a few days ago on the street corner that I sometimes pass by on my bicycle.

Kevin,

You actually believe that taxing companies more makes them pay? They make the same profit and shift the cost margin to consumers. You people that believe this stuff apparently do not understand economics... unless it is Soviet Economics- even they had "economists".

OH JUST SHUT UP - Fcae the facts you stupid Hillary supporters...she didn't win!! Ha Ha. Now your stuck with the choice of an old white man and a young black man. It's time to quit your whining and get with one or the other. Just stop your complaining...she didn't have a chance from the beginning. Finally we have stopped the BUSH/CLINTON/BUSH/CLINTON monarchy. Thank God.

Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States, and all you rich and powerful Republicans can take that to the bank. Oh, that's right, you won't be going to the bank quite so often, will you? The rich and powerful had their chance to let their wealth 'trickle down' to the middle class and poor but decided against doing that, so the American people are going to do that for you. Be afraid, be VERY afraid.

**************************************
Um, how is this not fearmongering? I thought Obama and his zombies were all above that.

Clearly you have no clue how economics works. And not all Republicans are rich. Just as not all Democrats are elites.

"Well, you know, like it's uh great to be here in uh Washington, ah, oh this ...January day, with um, uh Michelle, my belle, And so, I say to Americans and the world that, like you know, uh, um, what I mean is that uh (sotto voce-what happened to the goddamn teleprompter) like what uh, you know, I pledge hope and I pledge change, and you know the end of right wing wars and, you know, capitalist oil prices and crusades against Muslims and, you know um..."

We can hardly wait.

It's August in Denver. Obama limps into town disgraced, dispirited and on the verge of divorce only to find Hilary there waiting...tanned, rested and ready. This nomination is far from over. The trick will be how to let down millions of Black supporters who'd as soon ride this candidacy into a mountain side as back off.

The Veep vetters are not working for him in the same way the lobbyists who are advising Senator Obama are not making donations to his campaign.

Um,um...um, look I agree with Hillary on,um,um,.. you all know she conceded!..um,oh no,...um,um,um she suspended,um,um, my teleprompter is malfunctioning...um, no more questions!...um thats all I've, um, um, have to say.

Whether McCain wins or Obama wins, the citizens of our country LOSE either way.

*********************************
Couldn't agree with you more, Marla30.

As for McCain and his lobbyist connections: OMG! A politician with lobbyist connections? Never heard of that before! At least McCain is a known entity.

I hope Hillary IS taking a long well deserved vacation.

She has truly earned it, struggling against the broken DNC, the media "black out", and that pesky mosque-ito at her back!

Her followers will follow her in everything except voting for a candidate who daily gives more reason NOT to vote for him..

It would be great if , as LeeLee07 says, Hillary COULD rise again.. She was definitely the most prepared of the
candidates.

BUT, if not:

The DNC is Broken.

FIX IT!

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!!!

Unbelievable! Do they have no shame, and to think they call us racist. I think I know where racism is alive and well. Sad state.

Obama is making a lot of rookie mistakes.

I am worried.

Obama only leads McCain by 2 points in Massachusetts.

Please. Please. Hillary supporters. We. Need. You.

Well as an Obama supporter I think that it would be great to have a vetting team that did not need vetting themselves... however I also think these people are not running for office or holding office and they are going to perform an information gathering task and present that to Senator Obama. Since Graham from McCain's camp is at the top of the mortgage crisis debacle cleary benefiting from the deregulation that caused it... I can see why the McCain camp wants to try to diminish that by using this association but its just too minimal.

As we speak, Obama has got to be under a great deal of pressure to put Hillary on the ticket. I bet he can't wait to get out of this one.The Republicans are not going to help lunch Hillary in, they know that could be disaterous for them. The Republicans are waiting for him to pick his VP or for convention. Watch when this happens,it will be like "Who let the dogs out" I'm going to bet he will nip this Hillary stuff in the bud and pick his VP before August.

Jeremy:

do you really think folks wanna read that book you posted?

Short expressions, bud,.....short ones.

JA:

Amazing......You actually said something positive about the Clinton Administration...

Amazing....I'm beginning to figure you out now. You are a Democrat who supported Hillary Clinton....

And now you are so upset that she lost, until you're considering voting for John McCain..

Please go get some counseling...

BHO is a leftist liberal product of corrupt Chicago politics who hypocritically preaches all kinds of platitudes for others but in his public life has failed to demonstrate with his own actions. What happened to his “Old Uncle Wright”- dumped! – His church of 20 years – dumped! A real steady guy. He will do and say whatever it takes to get the prize. The history of his political rise in Chicago is ugly. His record in the Illinois legislature and later in the US Senate contains absolutely nothing but a record of doing what is politically expedient. BHO is a product of “Old Line Politics”. :”Change”:- into what? . Judge a man by his actions not his words

JA:

You must know little about Jimmy Carter......Jimmy Carter is a nobel person....

Stop speaking against dignataries like that.....Senator Obama and Carter are noble men who love this country and are serving exceptionally well....

A non-issue! A rich man gets favorable loan deals that any other rich person would get as well. How does that constitute "questionable loans." I wish reporters had more sense than they are demonstrating in this election cycle. How about doing some work for a change and do some investigating? I'm sick of this gotcha about nothing reporting.

Mr Coffee,
Oh, and I consider Bloomberg to be brilliant. Perhaps not a great motivational speaker, but very practical and intelligent - a realist.
If he ran for president I would have voted for him.

Mr Coffee,
You are uninformed. I had full access to the lecturer (Barack Obama), and I was a UC Law student. The reason why I audited it is because it was a fluff course, on race and politics/law, not part of the core curriculum.

Questioner:

I have a question: What!!!????

Questioner; Correction: Good bumper sticker 'Country Before Party"

Look, this guy Obama is not a very smart person. I don't care what everyone else is saying about how intelligent he is. He's not. Obama has a long history of hanging out with unintelligent political type people and really not doing anything except talking about how change is needed. The guy smokes cigarettes, that should tell you how much intelligence he's got.

How is it possible this is the man the DNC wants to run our government.
There is no way that I would ever vote for him, but I get just a little more disgusted and discouraged everyday.
This is who our "leaders" selected?
What is up with this whole thing? It stinks to high heaven, and why are no ivestigative reporters, investigating or reporting????

I um, he um, not mine....

PLEASE

great!!!

that's what I'm talking about.....And for those who will say negative things about the great senator Obama.....I will respond..

Carter vs Reagan:

Carter did pave the way by his bold stance against the Soviet Union....

JA:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.....Some folks have said negative things about the Clinton Administration too......silly..

If Carter did not have a bunch of folks on the other side of the isle undermining him so much, then perhaps his administration would have received an applause from you, bud.....

As I've said: Carter is not bad company to be linked to......Both Carter and Obama have nice smiles....

And you should be happy about that....

I bet we see that on a bumper sticker soon!! LOL

You people have all forgotten the new rule:

Anything that calls into question anything at all that Obama or any of his associates has ever done, said, or thought, is just a "game" that is played by people who practice politics as usual. It is just a "distraction" from the real issues (like for example calling into question whether McCains advisors are lobbyists).

Well nothing new here on Obama, there will be plenty of this denial and scattered thinking in the future. I

'm a HRC supporter and I think the situation is playing out nicely. Hillary is having a much deserved rest from all the unwarrented negative media coverage and Obama is not basking in the sunlight of a presumptive nominee,but more like a rabbit caught in the headlights of the media and the GOP. I don't think he has enough substance to survive.

When it all blows over Hillary can become the real nominee and ultimately the next president. A brilliant ending to a sorry mess.

--RuthieM---Just because you blog it doesn't make it so. You are so right about that but you are so wrong about the electibility and qualifications of Senator Obama. Suggest you do comphrensive research before blogging again.
Obama is an empty suit and the people he associates with are not the best or most honest people. I don't think he even has a chance at winning in November. Americans are just now getting to know the guy.

Hillary speaks for me: You are correct. One of my friends told me that he does not expect anything from Obama while he is in office. Puzzle….

What do you think that Obama is going to bring to Washington.....Chicago Politics.........oh boy can't wait.

Where have all the Obama supporters gone?????

My favorite Obama word is "look". He says it over and over again. Look at what? He cannot express himself. He portends that he is brilliant man. Brilliant men to not speak the way he does. He is in above his head but he just doesn't know it yet. Dumb or dumber...which is he?

And Who's Vetting McCain's Veeps? A Former Lobbyist, Natch

all i can say to the update.

is right on mccain.

He is sounding more like G.W Bush everyday on his speech.
No coherent answer that you can follow.
Um Well O.K. Um Well Let me be clear everybody. Um Well O.k.
Pathetic if this is what we are looking at for next POTUS.
