Hunting for Veepy Clues
August 22, 2008 6:10 PM
On the evening of June 5, 2004, an airplane mechanic named Bryan Smith ducked into a Pittsburgh airplane hangar and noticed that the campaign plane of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was being painted.
And Sen. John Edwards's name was being added to the logo.
Smith went home and blogged about it at the USAviation Web site.
"John Kerry"s 757 was in hgr 4 pit tonight John Edwards vp decals were being put on engine cowlings and upper fuselage," he wrote.
We checked out Obama's plane at Midway today.
No painting.
No decals.
Just sitting there safe and sound, Holy "O" sitting solo on the tail wing.
No "K"s or "B"s added.

How can you say "same old Washington politics" "change" and pick someone who has been in the Senate since the 70's. I don't konw who Obama is or what he really stands for other that he wants to be President bad. My guess is he is a hard working white guy who can do Obama's dirty work.
I like Biden and would have considered voting for him.
Hope McCain doesn't pick Pawlenty (bland) or Romney (phony)

Obama won Scholarships?
When is Affirmitive action a Scholarship?
His years prior to college were private schools paid for by his grand parents.

If its Biden, then McCain should pick Sara Palin as his VP. She is smart, honest, and good Gov. as far as I can tell. She can also hold her own in the "boys" club, she defeated a sitting Gov., she would be real change.... just my opinion.

If anyone is still around and wants to know the truth about those 129 present votes (out of the about 4000 he cast), I recommend a simple google for "obama Illinois present vote." The first few links have good reviews of the issue (for example, 50 appeared part of a party strategy). But don't bother looking if you're just waving a partisan foam finger and don't care about reality.

So there is and "O" and nothing else..
They need to keep it empty for his VP pick. So lets go through the cast of "usual suspects" to see what else will be painted on the plane...
1)"UF-O" for Dennis Kucinich
2)"O-thank God he's not driving" for Ted Kennedy
3)"carb-On footprint 1" for Al Gore
4)"Say it isn't s-O" for Hillary Clinton
5)"O-h not again" for Bill Clinton

There's a group of democrats,who
they will NOT vote for Obama
regardless who's the VP.
______________________________
I used to be in that group, until I heard that Bayh and Kaine were not the picks. That leaves either Biden or Hillary, both of whom are great choices. That's why I'm now on board.

ROBERT, I couldn't agree more, buddy. Obama's polls are getting slimmer and he's circling the drain....at a train station, obama employee is asking for voter's registration...they are that desparate....

Biden on the death of his first wife and daughter...
the accident that killed Neilia and Amy
: “I got elected when I was 29, and
I got elected November the 7th.
And on Dec. 18 of that year,
my wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree.
A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly
—- and I never pursued it —-
drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch,
broadsided my family
and killed my wife instantly,
and killed my daughter instantly,
and hospitalized my two sons,
with what were thought to be at the time
permanent, fundamental injuries ...
They’re both, thank God, healthy and well.”

Re: ...Kansas and Tennessee? That's the heartland of America, that's the average American, that's the heart and soul of this country."
Oh bull. I'm tired of the media making it seem like the midwest and south are the heart and soul of America. That's baloney. People there are not more American than people in other parts of the country. There are hardworking people ALL over America.
The midwest and south voted for Dubya and his failed policies. Not too bright!

You forgot to mention Obama attended these schools through schlorships. Meaning he's SMART.
Unlike a certain individual whose also running for the presidency who graduated at the very very VERY bottom of his class.
I forgot to mention McCain also wear $500 shoes.

Neil: WHAT WE NEED NOW IS THE BEST CANDIDATE...AND NOT THE BEST PARTY...
That's what the Republicans always do. They make it seem like Dubya is the problem. The problem is the whole Republican Party. McCain will continue Dubya's failed policies. He will probably choose Romeny as his running mate because that's who Cheney's daughter endorsed. Then they can keep looting the American people through bogus wars.
GOP=Bad Economy!!
Posted by: Karen | Aug 22, 2008 9:43:16 PM
Karen,
WHAT WE NEED NOW IS THE BEST CANDIDATE...AND NOT THE BEST PARTY... OBAMA IS NOT THE BEST FOR SURE...HE'S NOT EVEN BETTER... THINGS WILL JUST GET WORSE WITH HIM AS A JOB TRAINEE IN A PRESIDENTIAL SEAT....WHAT WE NEED IS ANOTHER CLINTON TO CLEAN THE MESS FROM THE SECOND BUSH BECAUSE THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB IN CLEANING UP THE FIRST BUSH MESS.....

OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE IS A NEVER HEARD SCHOOL.
You've never heard of it, but it's a good school.
Posted by: Karen | Aug 22, 2008 9:36:11 PM
Seriously Vanessa? So, praytell, but DO kindly tell me what Obama has accomplished as your "demonstration" of his Leadership????
The Obama's live in a mansion. BHO mother married an oil executive after splitting from first husband, and then was raised by his grandparents, and went to the most exclusive school in Hawaii. He has had a completely privleged childhood, and has been completely out of touch with the average American.
Did you see polls from today that he is losing by over 23 points in Kansas and Tennessee? That's the heartland of America, that's the average American, that's the heart and soul of this country. Obama has no idea what they go through with his arugala, and comments about "bitterness". My goodness, Obama is not even winning his home state by that wide a margin!
McCain has spent years in service and leadership to his state and country. Obama has spent years serving himself.
Obama....elitist, arrogant, completely out of touch with America.
