Obama Campaign Responds to McCain's Congratulatory TV Ad

My husband and I are delighted that
Barack Obama is now the President of
America, we watched all night and it
was well worth it. What a wonderful
speach Mr. Obama made.

McCain and the right-wing followers, let me tell you! It is already a tragedy when millions leave their home not knowing whether their way of life will be wiped out by a storm such as Hurricane Gustav. We should be praying to our Almighty God, right now, for our fellow Americans, instead dishonoring our God and going against the Bible like your followers did, such as James Dobson's Sheppard did when he asked you and your followers to pray "abundant rain, torrential rain ... flood-advisory rain." "I'm talking about umbrella-ain't-gonna-help-you rain ... swamp-the-intersections rain." The type of people who ask this on their fellow Americans is not a Patriot! May God watch over the citizens of New Orleans, supply their every need, protect them, comfort them and keep them safe. Our prayers go out to you and we are with you every hour.

"How did he know it was a job well done when he did this ad?"

What, getting nominated? Foregone conclusion, wasn't it?

Do people forget that BILL CLINTON HAD A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS? What the HELL did Bill Clinton DO!? PLEASE TELL ME! Last time I checked, Newt was running the show.

Classy move..wow!

How did he know it was a job well done when he did this ad?

He assumed it ....or was just trying to gloom onto the event and get a little positive attention

He is just an old fool...who thinks we are foolish and fall for these childish pranks.

McCain can't remember how many houses are in his and his wife's inventory (???)...while Obama doesn't know how many states are in the union...which candidate should you not vote for ???

"Made fun of the fact that McCain didn't know how many houses he had. Apparently Obama has never heard of investment property and didn't know that McCain divested himself of his wife's holdings years ago."

Apparently McCain could not just say the houses are in my wife's name. Would have looked to wussy for a big tough Republican.

McCain Talks of decency.
He has not shown any.
McCain talks of intelligence.
He has not shown any. He wants to blast Iran.
McCain Talks of experience.
He did not have any when he was beaten by Bush in NC.
McCain talks of change.
He does not know how to spell change when he follows Bush 95% of time.

AMEEN. God save America from Republican fraud.

It is stunning how little today's citizenry knows when it comes to black liberation theology and "activist" groups like the weatherman underground. The ideologies that motivated the aforementioned groups activities both then and now ought to draw a visceral reaction of repugnance. Yet, a presidential candidate affiliated with such thought is now a "viable" option. While I am no Republican, I am certainly unwilling to be complicit in electing such a person. American education is a wasteland.

even before Mccain

this has been a dirty game
with the race card raised
and the other guy blamed,
With delegates bought
And liars not caught;
With rants and fuss
People tossed beneath the bus,
With the free press gone
Sold for a song,
And the DNC
As broken as can be!

This selection was for sale!
You can talk about
change,
but the change that we'll get
won't make it to our pocket
and the visions
we were promised ,
vapid at best,
disappear like all the rest.

Obama doesn't even have the class or dignity to accept McCain's congratulations with good grace.

Then he whines somemore that it's too bad McCain isn't like this every day.

This from a man who has made ads making fun of McCain's age. Made fun of the fact that McCain didn't know how many houses he had. Apparently Obama has never heard of investment property and didn't know that McCain divested himself of his wife's holdings years ago.

values08 -
Obama announced his run for State Senate in '95 from Wm. Ayers house. (Not his run for the presidency).

But Obama surely lied, and more than once, when he described Ayers as "just a neighbor".

No wonder he wants to sue to stop that ad. It will destroy his candidacy and he knows it.

That's why there's so much buyer's remorse in the DNC. Hillary is shocked her media friends didn't release all this earlier.

values08 - half the articles written on Jake's blog won't be permitted under an Obama presidency if how he's treating the Wm. Ayers ad is any indication.

Sicking the Justice Department on stations that air the ad is so over-wrought, it reeks of mental instability.

What's he going to do -- tell the lawyers "Make those bad men stop saying such bad things about me?" It sounds like third grade.

"Obama even announced his decicion to run for POTUS at Ayers house!"

Values08,

I know the GOP loves the low information voter who is dumb enough to fall for any smear they toss out.

But you could at least get the smear right.

Obama announced his run for President in Springfield to thousands of cheering supporters.

McCain: "I wanted to stop and say congratulations. How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day."

Yes, it was so lucky, what a coincidence that his speech falls on such a historic day. It is amazing.

McCain is nicely pointing out what the MSM is hiding. What a joke, the
DNC picked Obama early on and has been conducting a marketing campaign. Hence, they picked the convention week to get the biggest bang for the buck. Clinton
and all of the other contenders for the Democratic nomination never had a chance, since the DNC leaders and MSM were in the tank for Obama. Wake up, America, it's all a lie.

Ryan C-I too am worried about free speech --that is why I am concerned about Obama's lawyers threatening to sue any tv station that runs an ad detailing Obama's relationship with William Ayers. Ayers was the leader of the group that bombed the Pentagon. Obama even announced his decicion to run for POTUS at Ayers house! You can watch the ad currently online.

"The last person called a "socialist" by the right wing was Bill Clinton.

It was said that his raising taxes would destroy the economy.

Instead we enjoyed the largest non post war economic '

BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP Obama and his cultists from tar and feathering him and Hillary, did it!

But turn about isn;t fair play, is it?

Well, I hope Obama gets the same treatment Bill Clinton got... with an extra dollop of hot sauce .

Let the smears begin!

A lot of things have been said about Barack Obama in the past, and I'm not sure I agree with all of them, but one thing is beyond question: the man is a socialist. There is no argument there. Everything in his life up to this point has involved the advancement of socialism. The problem is, the US cannot afford to have a socialist president at this time. Our country is 9 trillion dollars in debt and the last thing we can afford to do is elect a president that is promising trillions in new spending. We have to go in the opposite direction. We have to cut back on spending so we can start paying down the enormous debt. It is also unfair to saddle future generations with debt to pay for social welfare programs for people today. If we continue down the path to full socialism at this time by implementing Obama's socialist healthcare system, we will destroy any chance the nation has to balance the budget and pay down the debt. If we enact the oppressive tax increases that Obama is proposing, we will bring the economy to a screeching halt and people's retirement funds will plummet in value. We just can't afford any more socialism in America at this time.

No jscmidt you are so wrong!

Wow I should try this rw method of arguing more often.

Requires a hell of alot less research.
