Political Punch

Why is Obama's lack of experience or young age such an issue when the big companies hire young lads to high positions and kick out the older, well experienced men!?

Obama would be a real American, half black half white, intelligent and educated: an excellent figurehead for the United Sates!

Time - Verbatim - For the week of Feb. 28 - Mar. 6, 2005

There's nothing exotic or complicated about how phenoms are made in Washington, and, more to the point, how they are broken.
"Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame," says Barack Obama. "I've already had an hour and a half. I mean, I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse."

Poor NYT is loosing money, pretended to support McCain while giving free positive coverage to the messiah Obama. Keep reporting the news and the truth and maybe you will get back all those readers you had before. Keep doing what you are doing and all you will have left are the most liberal readers.

Omentum, do you remember the adage: 'once a man, twice a child'? We are seeing clearly that McCain has reach the tipping point of returning to childhood. He looks childish, he talks childish, he acts childish and his campaign guru's are treating him like a child. This child, McCain who boasts about honor and respect is blindly, childishly allowing his Guru's to treat him like a puppet on a string. Wouldn't that make a geat ad. Let's show mcCain dangling from a string and crying. Come on you computer geeks, MAKE MY DAY! MAKE THAT AN AD ON YOUR WEBSITE

Unequivocally, there is no single thing better for the United States of America than an "uneasy feeling" at the New York Times Editorial Board. Anyone or anything who causes this is doing something very, very right.

I can't wait for the debates! That's when we will see mcsame for what he actually is, a confused old man that has no grasp on neither international nor domestic issues. DON'T SAY I DID NOT WARN YOU. JUST WAIT AND SEE.

I don't know what the deal is about this ad. The only thing I can figure is that the NY Times figure the average American won't understand the ad. Apparently, it's looking like that's the truth too.

That being...Obama is nothing put a pop icon, who has no real accomplishments, just like Spears and Hilton. Some are happy to turn it into a race thing...to me, that's really racist! The card is out there now.

McCain stands to win against Obama in a mud slinging and slanderous election. Not because of race or substantive politics but because of more experience. ;)

I wrote earlier that McCain "is" an honorable man. I used the wrong tense. It should have been "was." Even Ralph Nader called him that in 2001. Too bad his campaigning (McCain's) resembles a train wreck.

Oh how Obama's mask is slipping.

Paris and Brittney are far more honest than Obama.

Playing the race card for sympathy and votes is the dirtiest of politics and tells volumes about Obama's character.

The New York Times is afraid of the money behind Obama. You know, the ones pulling Obama's strings and telling him what to do.

Obama played the race card 4 times, by my account: First time against Bill Clinton, second time against Ferraro during the primaries. Then it worked because at least Clinton could not respond by fighting back. He is a democrate, an ex-president and he was not entirely innocent as he honored Obama by referring to his friend Jesse Jackson's campaign, who everyone remembers lost.

Third time was against McCain in Florida. It was their first attempt to brand the republican as racist, as they have successfully against Clinton. Well McCain is not a racist, he has a worse voting record when it comes to black America than the Clinton's, but still McCain is not a racist.

Doing it again now, reminding voters he "looks different" only shows how terribly vulnerable Obama is to the celebrity sticker.

Obama put it on himself. Refusing to debate, only doing spectacular photo opportunities and avoiding hostile press. Come November Obama will learn teleprompter debates does not a president make!

This is a disgusting accusation. McCain should sue the NYT for libel. Americans should let the NYT know what they think by voting McCain. We don't need a president who screams racism every time he is questioned. It's not true and it's not presidential.

"We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she's playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.
We can do that."

This is from Obama's March speech on race.

This is not presidential. This is not conducive to solving our country's serious problems. McCain is trying to be the little bully kid throwing all the mud he can hoping it sticks in order to cover up his own ineptness. If he had serious answers to our problems he would be conveying them in a succinct way and not saying one thing one day and something completely opposite the next day. We have fallen for this crap year after year. Another election where those in power play mudgames to distract us all in order to keep themselves in power. I would rather take a leap of faith with Obama than go down a known course of destruction with McCain. We can't afford another 4 more years of Bush.

What is the point of having comboxes if you take very innocuous posts down? I never use vile language, but I am critical of MSM and that is enough to get my post taken down? The unstated policy: "Thou shalt not be critical of the MSM." I got introduced to this blog from Hugh Hewitt's blog, and I've picked some good information and insights, but c'mon somebody at ABCnews.com needs to get thicker skin.

hello?

Obama is playing the race card, and the NY Time is defending Harold Ford? The Ford ad was about him going to a playboy party. Why is that not worthy of attack? Any commercial about a black politician can't have a white woman in it?

The race card keeps coming out of Obama's deck. It is disgusting. It is anti-American. If you are FORBIDDEN from criticizing a black candidate, but can smear a white candidate, free speech is dead.

I once though John McCain was an honest and honorable man, but now I see him as the despicable character he really is. Instead of trying to somehow connect Obama with loose white women he should be making ED commercials, it appears the time is right for him!!

no matter how benign my posts usually get taken down. Their policy: "Thou shalt not be critical of the MSM on the ABCNews website." So the point of the Comboxes is to give people who agree a place to agree?
