Men of the 'People'

Gracie: I agree with you. McCain's houses has nothing to do with the issues we are facing in this country today. Obama has the money to buy 2 condo's for investment. He was fortunate, Rezko bought his house and extra lot for him because he covered up some of Rezko's crooked deals. The courts didn't call him in because he was campaigning for the presidency. You know how that works, one hand helps the other and Obama probably talked to the judge.

I don't see anything wrong in donating to the school where McCain's children attended. That has been done many times before. He still is donating money no matter who it goes to. I would do the same thing. And the rich don't have to donate their money to any charity if the don't want to. The Clinton's donated ten million dollars. Let's see if Obama donates any money to his half brother in Kenya. He is partial to his half sister Hawaii and he has a half brother here. In fact, he should fly him to America and set him up in an apartment.

Ed: I agree with you. When it comes to politics Obama is no match for John McCain and neither is Biden. McCain know as much as Biden and maybe more. Obama didn't want Bill Clinton in the white house so he picked Biden. And I believe the Kennedy's told him to pick Biden. Caroline should stay home and stay out of politics. Ted Kennedy should retire and let a younger person have his seat. He doesn't need the salary.

Michael: We all know that Obama owns one mansion paid for by crooked Rezko because Obama couldn't afford it. He even bought the lot next door for him. If Cindy inherited millions who cares and if they own seven houses who care. Obama can invest in three condo's himself but he can't pay over one million dollars each like Cindy. Cindy was right to invest her money into real estate. Why not. If you have it do it.

Riley: That's just how Obama answers the questions when asked. He failed in the forum interview and he failed the debates. And he wants to be president. If elected president it will be in name only, Biden will be running the country. I know that you are aware of Obama not having any experience in politics or foreign policy. That he is using the speeches of RFK, JFK and MLK because he cannot form his own words. I do not know how he graduated Harvard. I certainly would like to see his grades.

Rodney: I heard Michelle telling the story about how they both had to earn their way. Let me go on record to say Obama was never brought poor. His mother was educated, he went to good schools and his grandmother paid his way thru college. Who is kidding who. His father was not poor either. His mother was married and divorced three times, and his father four times. He never lived in a shack like his half brother does and his grandmother worked.

>>> Except possibly for his adopted daughter, all of Mccain's kiddies have graduated from these schools long ago... and even if they weren't they did not partake of this particular bounty!

And anyone can choose the charity to which he wishes to donate!

The Clintons donated tons of money to the Aids cause.

Charity is a gift which should not be denigrated!

So when was YOUR last foray into charitable gift giving, Mr Tangerine?

When was Obama's? an and what percentage of his income did it amount to?

There! I split an infinitive; I think I'll donate my half to you!

Do you REALLY want to compare the charitable giving of JM to BHO? One give houses to their relatives to live in. The other has a brother in Kenya living on $12 per YEAR and doesn't receive a dime from Barry and Michelle.

Oh, I forgot. Barry proposed the US government set up a program to give money to his brother. But DON"T TOUCH his money.

Peach: "Senator McCain has donated the royalties from every one of his five books to charity"

to be more precise: HIS OWN CHARITY FUND.

And where did this ‘Charity Fund’ donate that money? Private schools his OWN CHILDREN attended.

So much for ‘charity’. It was a way to reduce his income (tax deductibles) while at the same time keeping the money for the benefit of his own family.

Obama to People magazine:

Uh uh, er er, but, you know,uh Let me be clear...Can I bring my teleprompter to the interview?

I'm Barack America...

I'm sure People magazine will ask really tough questions.

"HEY JOHN---HOW MANY HOMES DO YOU OWN---DUH I WILL ASK MY STAFF"

Seems they all belong to his wife
and since they signed pre-nups, the correct is he doesn't own ANY.
Unlike Senator "Ketchup" Kerry.

Celebrities giving an interview to a Celebrity magazine.
Who will they share the cover with? Britney? Paris? Tom Cruise?

So McCain is at a high point of his campaign and is behind in almost every poll (6 points in the latest ABC poll) I really don't see how McCain wins the contest. Even when he has had the field to himself for 2 weeks (when Obama was on holiday) he could only get it back to a a narrow 1-2 point gap. I do think that McCain simply cannot win this election- that may not be entirely his fault, but its hard to imagine what could happen to Obama to lose this thing.

Obama picked Biden because he is another arrogant elitist ultra-liberal (ranked #3 in the Senate).

SINCE MCBUSH AGREED WITH BUSH 95% OF THE TIME AND WE KNOW WHAT A TERRIBLE PRESIDENT BUSH IS ---DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE HE IS FOR THE PEOPLE------OR FOR BIG OIL AND THE FOREIGN COUNTRYS THAT ARE BLEEDING US DRY WITH MASSIVE TRADE IMBALANCE-------THINK ABOUT THIS A LOT BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION
BYE

PEACH
SO DOES GATES --WHEN YOU HAVE MORE THAN YOU KNOW OF --DOES THAT MEAN SONETHING---OH DONT FORGET IT IS DEDUCTABLE----if mccain earned what he has you would see a difference in his charity----give me a couple billion and i will give millions away----when you have no need it means nothing.you probably give a greater percentage of what you EARN to charity than he does.

Another poster pointed this out:

Senator McCain has donated the royalties from every one of his five books to charity. In addition, since 1991, he has donated the increases in his Senate salary to charity - because he opposed the Congressional pay increase at that time and pledged not to accept them.

OBAMA AND BIDEN WERE BORN POOR AND CAME UP THE HARD WAY----YES THEY EARNED THEIR WAY---UNLIKE MCCAIN WHO DITCHED HIS WIFE AND FAMILY FOR A RICH WOMAN-----YES THEY REALLY ARE OF THE PEOPLE.

Obama is THE MOST liberal member of the U. S. Senate. He is more liberal than 94% of the Senate on economic issues; 94% of the Senate on social issues; and 92% of the Senate on foreign issues. His composite "Liberal" score is 95.5%.

Biden is the 3RD MOST liberal member of the U. S. Senate. He is more liberal than 94% of the Senate on economic issues; 88% of the Senate on social issues; and 94% of the Senate on foreign issues. His composite "Liberal" score is 94.2%.

Both Obama and Biden are further to the left than Bernie Sanders, who comes in fourth. He is more liberal than 90% of the Senate on economic issues; 88% of the Senate on social issues; and 98% of the Senate on foreign issues. His composite "Liberal" score is 93.7% -- and Bernie Sanders identifies himself as a Socialist.
