Political Punch

Go Obama! I just bought the navy blue Change We Can Believe In t-shirt and I love it!

Quote
BTW, a few sites (including -- ugh -- Newsbusters) have a quote from 2005 where Obama compares his celebrity then to Britney Spears' fame. The original Obama quote appeared in the Washington Post.

and McCain makes fun of his age.. so is it OK if Obama does a commercial comparing McCain to Grandpa Simpson or the people in the depends commercials?
Or maybe pointing out all his senior moments?

some of you peoples logic is seriously lacking :O

Oh yes, don't believe the tracking polls when your leader is behind Obama zombies! Obama shouldn't be calling anyone names. He is a huge flip flopper this past week. Everytime John nails him on something and Obama sees it is helping McCain he suddenly changes course and joins that view of the issue. He is as big a flip flopper as John Kerry, who I am sorry I ever voted for, after he supported Obama after he was so disrespectul to Hillary Clinton. And, don't tell me that's the way it is in politics. If that's the case, than Hillary should have blatantly gone after his race, and everyone should have said, that's politics. Please, don't insult my intelligence! He is politics as usual if ever there was someone who was politics as usual, what a hypocrite. I am doing everyhing I can to see he is defeated in November!

I love the new kill them with ridicule tactic. It shows just how ridiculous the GOP is. Just keep hitting them Obama! Drive that message home.

i love Obama :D

his response is awesome....
i was rather troubled after the gutter
adds and such by McCain, but Obama is not Kerry, who couldn't react well.
and this is still with 3 months left before Election Day, so better they know now how low McBush is willing to go to be Bush #3 in the White House.

We need to inflate our tires -so it's our fault right?

"One thing I’ve learned is to not read daily tracking polls."

hmm, another Bush in making...and they were making fun of Bush...

You're letting them play you, justjoe. They make it sound as if Obama's only plan is to inflate people's tires. That's a flat out falsehood and they know it.

Obama's energy plan is much bigger in scale than McCains. And it would go into effect much quicker too, with releases from the strategic oil reserve.

It doesn't sound like you're going to vote for Obama in any case, JustJoe. But just don't gulp down every ounce of Koolaid they give you. If you're going to vote for McCain, don't do it believing BS from the corrupt GOP.

hey, WENDY....so Obama (alias Mr. Teflon) was right about keeping the correct tire pressure to save some..no, a little, gas. ...and TIME even reported it as true...WOW..so did my late grandfather, who died years ago...tell us something we don't know about the gas mess rather than shopworn stuff.............and I am not gonna let him ride on my Michelins.

Squid ink is black.

Hmm.

If anyone notices that, are they racist?

;-)

"Squid ink." Exactly.

(And some of that ink is provided by the press as well--not only the claque press on the right, but the purportedly neutral press as well.)

I love the stuff about Maureen Dowd! Good humor, Obama!

"I love you Belle Star"

Well Wendy - I'm sure the Nascar nation fully supports your candidate of "flip flops" and "less CHANGE in your pocket" .. sigh! Good thing the messiah told us all about keeping air in our d*mn tires .. who know that? I think my 7 year old nephew knows that - sheesh!

Interesting that Obama's "inflate your tires" to improve energy costs is actually true.

Not only does Charlie Christ and Arnold Schwarznegger agree with Obama but so does NASCAR.

Time magazine investigated and low and behold that Obama is RIGHT!!

Actually because everyone knows the democrats are going to pick up even more seats in the senate and house, they know that it's safe to have a republican in the white house.

Most independents DO NOT want an veto proof congress/senate AND a very liberal man in the White House.

So actually this all works in McCain's favor.

President McCain - get good and use to it! Cindy, pick out the White House drapes.

Now we find out that not long ago Obama compared HIMSELF to Paris Hilton!!

Ooops, Obama is busted, yet again.

Celebrate now Obama, because the end is coming in November.

All you Obama-haters are really funny. As if YOUR politician was clean-scrubbed and holy. Get over it. This year the Republicans are doomed. And you Obama-baiting trolls can go back and chew on your moldy copies of the American Spectator for the next four years.

Anyone know why Ice Barbie keeps getting into the shots with angry old John McCain? Are they trying to make him look younger by having him hanging around a 50 yearo old?

Celebrate now. He has another 23.5 years to cry.

McCain stiffed us, the American People by making us pay for him and Neil Bush (Silverado Savings and Loan)theft. He was one of the Keating Five...Crook, crook, crook. No more oil mongorers. We need a real and educated President. One that has taught consitutional law and understands policies that work. OBAMA for President

Let them eat cake . . .

I love the idea that the McCain campaign is trying to create a caricature of Obama, when Obama includes a picture of Bush in every ad in which he discusses McCain.

I am happy to see he was able to work in the word "distraction" on his birthday. Not that he's one to care about such things.

if 'you eat too much cake' you will need to inflate your tires.

"I guess it's a squid that sends out ink..."

Takes one to know one.
A couple of years ago, Kerry was crazy about McCain, now he's crazy about The CHANGEling. With any luck, the Democratic delegates give this slippery guy the hook.

Isn't Obama the president already? He and the media sure act like it.

The more the media pushes him on us with their pathetic love fest the more america will walk away. Americans trust the media almost as much as they trust lawyers.

Just like McCain, all theatrics and band aids, and no real get well plan. If he would have spent a fraction of his previous 27 years in DC working on an energy policy, we wouldn't be in this mess. More of the same... Too little, too late, We need a change!

Once Obama's national security plans were endorsed by the leaders of Iraq, Afghanistan, France, and Great Britain... McCain needed to do something- anything- to distract us from the real issues. Of course, nothing will change the fact that Obama leads by landslide margins in the electoral college.

"Last week I think was just a series of distractions,"

Anything that shows Obama up for the tool he is, he labels a "distraction". He overuses that word a bit, don't ya think?

Is that Rove cheerleader still in charge at AP in DC?????

I wouldn't think the Obamas would even qualify for a rebate. Wasn't it families making %150,000 net adjusted (or less)?

Obama,
Happy birthday.....Florida/seminole cnty will be yours...my daughter & assocaites will make history for you here. As a naturalized citizen, I am an American looking "IN"....sorry I missed you at the Urban League convention!..
keep up the good work....I am waiting for your daughters to be on the white house lawn with their dog!

By the way, JT does a good job, don't readers agree??

Obama is such a smart and class guy. Squid, indeed.

And as to second by second polling, let them eat cake.

George Trow said a long time ago that the guy who popularized "demographics" was putting a nail in the social coffin. Not his words but my interpretation. Spot-on.

I definitely prefer Obama's sense of humor.

He really is someone people can relate to. Like my husband, Obama has pants he's worn for at least 10 years.

Obama is becoming a master showman.

I have to say that I am proud of Obama here. He is taking the Jackie Robinson route, and it is obvious that he IS the better man.

However, the realist in me says he's got to start hitting back if he wants to win.

I must remind you that this is a STATE-BY-STATE ELECTORAL COLLEGE ELECTION.

Note a popular opinion poll

But if you do want to get a clear snapshot of the present presidential electoral college race polls please visit

http://www.electoral-vote.com/

There you will find

Dem pickups (vs. 2004): CO FL IN IA NV NM GOP pickups (vs. 2004): (None)

More than enough pickups there to trounce McCain.

McCain took a humors jab and hit a nerve.

Seems Obama knows his marketing team and PR department sold him off as a Super Star, that is all they had to work with.

Obama proved it with his Germany Escapades.

Obama wants to be loved by you and wants to win the popularity contest.

Besides a pretty speech and empty campaign promises Obama is nothing.

Constant Change is what obama believes in.

Obama refuses to take responsibility or commit to anything.

No one knows what Obama stands for anymore he has changed his mind on so many things he has the world confused.

"There is no way in the world McCain will win."

I said that myself two months ago. But look at what Zogby said today--

McCain made significant gains at Obama’s expense among some of what had been Obama’s strongest demographic groups. For example:

* McCain gained 20% and Obama lost 16% among voters ages 18-29. Obama still leads that group, 49%-38%.
* Among women, McCain closed 10 points on Obama, who still leads by a 43%-38% margin.
* Obama has lost what was an 11% lead among Independents. He and McCain are now tied.
* Obama had some slippage among Democrats, dropping from 83% to 74%.

If the Democratic delegates were smart, they'd switch back to Hillary.

Happy Birthday Obama!!!!!!

Virginia is yours. We will make sure of it.

The myth must continue to be perpetrated. McCain must be seen as someone who is giving Obama a hard time. The media is serving up the koolaid and everyone is guzzling.

There is no way in the world McCain will win. Especially when he has nothing to offer America. His whole campaign consists of going negative.

He awaits like an old crotchety geezer fussing at the television but instead of barking at the tv he uses his supporters' money to make OBSURD ads to speak for him.

Want more pain
Vote MCAIN.

Want change
VOTE OBAMA

Obama is seriously delusional. McCain's ads basically summed up what a lot of people were saying at the water cooler. He shifts, drifts, redefines daily. People are realizing that he stands for nothing. Absolutely nothing.....except for Obama.

Well, if he doesn't read the daily tracking polls, what about state polls? Survey USA has him falling behind in FL, and one poll (Suffolk) has him up by a measly 9 percent in MA, with 15% undecided. Zogby has him behind by one nationally.

And I don't think the PUMAs are going to return to his camp.

BTW, a few sites (including -- ugh -- Newsbusters) have a quote from 2005 where Obama compares his celebrity then to Britney Spears' fame. The original Obama quote appeared in the Washington Post.

So here you have, in my family, what seems to be happening. Three brothers, all think Bush is a disaster, and one will vote for McCain, and two are undecided. My wife, a Democrat, says she's planning on writing in Hillary. And why? Obama seems like he's narcissistic or something, and none of us can get over his associations with truly weird/dangerous people like Ayers and Wright.

Sounds like the McCain commercials hit center and Obama is still smarting.

Characature is the art of taking the truth and making it funny. Obama would do well to laugh with the rest of us.

Obama has painted his own picture. It isn't pretty. Americans are seeing the picture come to life right before their eyes and they realize there is no magic in this person, there is no commitment for bettering America, there is only Obama! Obama! Obama! Scary, yeah, I'd say so.

Hum, Jake.
Obama is up three in the Gallup tracking poll.
If you are going to use daily tracking poll to write stories (you shouldn't) read them daily at least :)

Obama's comment about the price of McCain's shoes is pretty ironic in light of his wife's comment that the $600 proposed rebate was so small it could only buy a pair of EARRINGS! Obama is a complete fraud and it is increasingly visible.
