Political Punch

Why not discuss Obama reasons for not leading his own family out of poverty? Changing issue to Cindy McCain sounds like a diversion we need to stay on point. She is not in the race for president of the USA. A great world leader must be able to lead his family, especially out of dire poverty and then figure out how to lead the free world. It's a excellent question that is perplexing many people.

Don't feel sorry for George....when
OHB is elected he will take care of him.
The Lincoln bedroom is available.

So yucky.

Republicans are shameless. How can they justify Cindy McCain selfishness? Her sisters are real, and live in America. She denies them, and takes all his father's fortune for herself alone, while they are almost starving. And that wasn't enough for her, she denies their own existence: "I am the unique child".
Obama might not have known he's got that brother, since he was himself abandoned by that same father.
If Republicans had a little scruple, they should omit that story. At least they are so sure of the stupidity of the American people, I don't see how they try so hard to manipulate us this way.

Mary Anne: You are so right and I am one of them that didn't get over it. I am a staunch Hillary supporter and hope that all her supporters wake up to the fact and vote for her on that ballot. There is suppose to be many woman superdelegates and they can do it for her. Years ago there was a backlash at he democratic convention where the nominee lost after the votes were in. I wish that could happen here so we can send Obama back to the senate. What a surprise that would be for the DNC. I'm not saying it will happen, I am saying its possible it could happen.

McCain is "living the American dream" by having 7-11 houses?!?!

I always thought of the American dream as living in freedom and peace, and being okay if you were willing to work hard - not having to worry about losing the roof over your head because of 'the people at the top'. Middle class, not upper class. This is exactly the 'wrong track' people are talking about.

I believe that both Obama and Biden are men of high morals regardless of what we think about their past events. And they are both devoted to their wives and children. But that does not mean that we do not have differences of opinion regarding who we would vote for. I thought that Obama would choose Hillary as his VP and since that didn't happen I am forced to write her name in or vote McCain. I am a democrat but have voted republican before if I don't like the choices that the democrats make. Obama is well aware of the fact that Nancy Pelosi demanded the superdelegates vote immediately and vote for Obama so Hillary could not become president. Everyone knows that she is more experienced in politics and foreign policy but got cheated on the MI and FL delegates. Now they want them to be seated because Obama is the nominee. I am hoping the republicans take over the house so we can rid ourselves of Nancy Pelosi.

You McCain supporters are so afraid of any kind of change, even as the GOP flushes our country down the toilet.

Even if McCain is some great candidate, your refusal to look at Cindy's extended family issues strikes me as the behavior of lemmings.

Please, for love of God, NO MORE REPUBLICANS. They have had their chance. Thirty YEARS to be exact. Hating Liberals and worrying about social issues won't feed your kids, give you a job market, educate a single person or give one soul health care. Even if you hate Obama, you must admit that the current way isn't working!

Mbulawa: Obama's father's first name was Hussein and that's why Obama was given the middle name of Hussein. I read their BIO in the NYT so I know the story. And for the record Obama's father may be black but Obama will never be black or white because he is Mulatto the offspring of a black father and white mother. Jessie Jackson would have been the first black president if elected. Obama will not. This name is also in the dictionary and on the internet and I knew that since I was young. The media don't want to call him that or the black people resent that name but that's what he is and it stands that way. I would not hesitate to tell him that myself if I had the chance.

George Onyango Obama has no Hussein in his documents. He has always been George Onyango Obama. You lot use the name Hussein to be spiteful. As black Africans we are not born into religions or denominations like caucasians and asiatics. We are liberals.... it is normal for an African family to consist of non-believers, catholics, protestants etc.

JA, NoObama08, toddo, and Debra I really do not have all the info like you guys do so yeah excuse me if I hold judgment. I guess as the GOP calls it the mean Obama is letting his family starve. A brother is not someone you see twice in your lifetime. A brother is that person you grew up with even if by blood you are not related. I wonder how many of us have family that is distant but is living in bad conditions.

I wonder how many of us have the means to support them but will not for whatever reason. In our cases I bet the family is not thousands of miles away. It is easy to point fingers but some of us would fall short of our own judgment.

For all you Hillary supporters switching to McCain I really do not want to hear you guys complaining when Roe gets overturned, women's pay goes down, gay rights are all but a thing of the past, your pay drops to new lows, health care costs rise without end, gas prices make new highs, we get caught in wars without end all over the world, and when our world standing falls to zero, I want you guys to look in the mirror and say I let my soar grapes put the country in this state. I do not want to hear one bad thing about McCain since you found it so necessary to punish Obama for some perceived slight against Hillary.

When we are 2 or 3 years into the McCain White house I do not want to hear former Hillary now McCain supporters complaining that women have lost jobs, pay, and rights. I just do not want to hear the bitching and complaining about how bad McCain is. You are trying to get back at Obama with lies, tricks, and half truths and you shall reap the consequences if McSame gets in office.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Let's see the attack ad with Cindy McCain's half siblings waxing nostaligic about how much she has helped them since their father dies...NOT!

I am not surprised at the little hypocrite Obama. He likes to bash everyone for everything but no one is supposed to put him under a microscope. I hope that he comes to feel the same way he made Hillary Clinton feel and her husband when he kept insulting them. I can't wait!!! It will be so wonderful to see his defeated face on TV! OBAMA, THE WOMEN DIDN'T GET OVER IT!!

Hey Viet Nam Vets Against McCain -
He was even worse than in the bottom tenth. McCain graduated 894th of 899, which put him in the bottom ONE percent.

Claiming to have been in the bottom 25th percent, while technically true, is putting lipstick on one ugly pig.

His hut living brother is a 'distraction'.

Just like Michelle's anti-American comments, terrorist Ayers, slumlord Rezko, anti-white Rev Wright.

I want to know who selected you to police this issue. Cindy McCain insists she is the only child. Doesn't she have 2 siblings, one on her mothers side and one on her fathers side. However, she doesn't own up to this.

This is a typical case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Ah...the mccain family traditions...

“By the way, that's a McCain tradition,” he said. “My father and grandfather, both four-star admirals, and they graduated in the bottom fourth of their class, too."

And he's proud of this??? Looks like he earned every bit of his 894th ranking. Lord help us! Another silver spoon underachieving flyboy.

MrCoffee Finishing in the bottom forth of a class would mean you would finish 75-100 out of 100. In John McCains case to finish in the bottom tenth of his class means you would finish 90-100 out of 100. 15 points difference, can make a big difference.

Why haven't they helped? Because the brother doesn't want the help.

sheesh you righties have to make stuff up to get attention. Oh how the mighty have fallen...

If an ad is coming from the mccain camp and his supporters, you can pretty much count on it being hooey. That's all they have left. They can't run on the issues, so like jr. high students they make things up. Too bad those 28%ers are still gullible enough to fall for it.

McCain and his mother sued Carol McCain, his first wife, to return gifts.

That's Republican family values for you: hit them when their down.

Debra, we already know how Republicans handle charity, but I'm glad you brought it up

For Repubs, charity money is tax deductable. Charity money is funneled into their own Charity Funds, and then that money is used to lavish their own family or friends with contracts.

Two quick examples: Barbara Bush's Katrina donations ended up in her son's Neil Bush cashbooks.
Cindy McCain's ‘Charity Fund’ donated money to her son's Private School.

The Texas GOP nor any other, GOP source has any ground to stand on about their candidate and his extendted family being a role model. His wife Cindy Hensley McCain has two sisters she and yet she claims to be an only child. After their father's death Cindy who inherted the 99.9 % of h the estate cut off her siblings and continues to thei day to claim to be an only child.

Perhaps the DNC should run an ad that explains how McCain dumped his wife for a multi-millionaire heiress. Talk about taking care of your family.

All the while John McCain does nothing to have his wife mend fences in her family. Cindy claims to be an only child when she knows full well she has two sisters. One from her fathers first marriage and one from her mothers first marriage.

Matter of fact Connie , you 're right
Why not make an ad about Mother Theresa/Cindy thing...
come on GOP you don't wanna there, are you that silly?
Well ..you know...it's the GOP...so...

A load of interesting stuff about John McCain from brother Joe.

1. It shows John's Oedipus Complex with Cindy mirroring the role his mother had when he was a boy.

2. Shows his family was Navy royalty with both father and grandfather being admirals.

3. Shows how out of touch the McCains are with average people -- Mom was managing the oil leases [my mom did that too LOL!] and John knows how Americans are because he serves on a committee.

4. Finally, brains don't flow on the male side as dad and grandpa finished near the bottom of their classes along with John.

“The person who took care of all the business was my mother,” he said. “My father had no idea about the family business, what oil leases he owned in Oklahoma.”

Joe McCain, who makes his home in Washington’s Northern Virginia suburbs, chuckled when recalling that “one time, [John McCain's mother] bought a house to remodel” in Southeast Washington while “[dad] was at sea.”

John McCain’s years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee also help him “emphasize with the American people” on pocketbook issues, Joe McCain said.

John McCain was a less-than-stellar student who graduated fifth from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy.

“By the way, that's a McCain tradition,” he said. “My father and grandfather, both four-star admirals, and they graduated in the bottom fourth of their class, too."

Oh and by the way, have any of those Texas Republicans asked Sen. Obama's brother how he feels about having his image used to criticize his brother? Is there a lawyer in the house?

Well foted, according to some people he is. Go figure.

This is stupid and smacks of total desperation! Why would Barrack Obama be at all responsible for a half brother that he probably doesn't know at all. His father had multiple children by mutilple women! Is Sen. Obama responsible for all of them?

debra, so what. Your post offers nothing.

Republicans never have to look at themselves. If that were the case McCain would have to sit back and shut up. They are filled with hypocrisy; I mean why keep bringing up houses and family.
Arrogant America who call it a hut and poverty; in case you haven't noticed because your stupid when it comes to the rest of the world. That is how people live, he's wealthy for having his house even if it doesn't meet the high standards of American living. For Republicans McCain & Romney - who own 12 houses between them; geez they could afford to give up one of theirs faster than Obama.

Obama's biggest charity was Trinity Church. They did a comparison this morning on either C-Span or a news channel and Dems alwasy give less than Reps.....he has exact numbers on
C-Span2....and the differnce was appaling. Kennedy, FDR, and Obama penny pinchers compared to Reagan and McCain....for the party that wants to help so many by raising your taxes, they ought to dig into their own pockets.
I bet Hillary would have helped her own flesh and blood out.....although it's not just this brother,,,he has 7 other siblings from his dad's 3 other wives.

In kenya just like many developing countries, many youngsters are given a chance to change their lives, free highschool education and college. If someone chooses to live their lives otherwise, you cannot blame others!

His half brother can go back in the town where they come from and live in a decent house, he chose to live in the capital city where it's expensive and tough if you don't have a decent job.

Kyl

Talking heads are the most dangerous. Halperin sounded like a babbling idiot. Same for Cokie Roberts.
Best thing to do is ignore them. Turn off your tv! This concerted effort, major push to derail Obama's candidacy will not succeed.

The Republican ad on George Obama, Sen Obama's half-brother is nothing more than Imperialist trash. George Obama lives in a 3rd world country where he has a home, not a "shack". To refer to his home in Kenya as a "shack" is the the high-handed eyes of an arrogant American. George Obama & Sen Obama have other brothers and sisters, a sister that lives in Europe, a brother that is a PH.D.--why didn't the Republicans look them up and feature them?

McCain opened the door when he said.."uhhh...I'll have to ask my staff". His words, not Obama's.
Obama just repeated what he said!
Obama never attacked McCain's family. Cindy McCain kept saying she was an only child. Her nephew called the press and said...Hey my mother is her half sister! He was tired of the McCain saying pretty much his mother didn't exist. And now there are Two sisters!!!
Cindy and John McCain put on their website that their daughter Bridgett was brought here b/c mother theresa begged cindy to bring her back to the US for medical care. Not true....none of it. She never spoke to mother theresa on that trip! The PRESS investigated that story. They have since taken it off the McCain official website! And Obama not his campaign has ever commented on it!!
So, Obama has a brother, he never knew, that was raised in a different country.

this is just typical.cnn show this story and i just knew something stupid would be made of it.cnn is fox in sheeps clothing and everyone knows it

Will campaigns forever be about personal sniping? Are these guys the best people on earth? Obviously not. Remark about Obama is about himself only? What about Sen. McKean? he doesn't have ambition, he's about helping whom?

This personal back and forth BS sounds like the comedian Rush Limbaugh.

Cindy in NC quotes the extremely misleading statistic that McCain gave 27% of his income to charity in 2007, comparing that to what is supposed to look like a paltry 6% from Obama. But consider that McCain reported his $405K income separately from that of his multi-millionaire wife. 27% of $405K is a little over $109K...a pittance compared to the McCains' net worth of somewhere between $40 and $100 million. McCain could donate 100% of his income and it still wouldn't amount to much more than a rounding error compared to his total wealth. So keep quoting that statistic if you want to illustrate what a cheapskate he is.

And BTW, about Obama wanting to spend "our money"--unless you make over $200K per year, your taxes would either stay the same or decrease under Obama's economic plan.

before you vote for McWar,McPow is an excuse/reason for anything, McAnti Roe v Wade, McFree Ride for the Rich and McLie on the facts...think of your grand kids. Obama is "your" once in a lifetime opportunity.

Cindy in NC - Of course McCain gave 27% of HIS adjusted gross in charity. He lives off his wife's money!!!

Also, please note in 2006, over $50,000 of the McCain foundation's money went to Brophy College Prep. The private school his son was attending. Hmmm.

Cindy McCain _lied_ about her siblings. She claimed she was an only child. She's a liar and so's her husband, John McNasty.

HE IS NOT EVEN A WAR HERO.HE GOT SHOT DOWN
AND BECOME POW.BEFORE HE BECOME A PILOT
HE CRASHED 5 PLANES,HE CAME OUT 584OUT OF
594 STUDENTS.

A lot of Hollywood celebrities like Obama ignore their family members as they live is squalor.

The only way Obama would help poor brother George Hussein is if he could get a government grant.

Obama loves to spend our money.

Powerful Ad.

Cindy in NC,

The McCains can afford to give a higher percentage of their income to charity than the Obamas or the Bidens because they are filthy rich. The McCains are the ones with 7-11 houses (depending on how you count them). Obama and Biden only have one house each.

I THINK WE ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE REPUBS WANT THE SAME THING THEY DID TO KERRY KEEP TALKING ABOUT OLD STUPID STUFF AND KEEP THE ONUS OFF OF THEM AND THAT IS THE SAME THING MOST OF THE T.V STATIONS ARE DOING THIS MORNING INSTEAD OF BEING POSITIVE ABOUT THIS CONVENTION ALL IS NEGATIVE COMPARING OBAMA TO MCCaIN AND HILLARY THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS WEEK IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT

This ad implies that rich Republicans are supporting their less fortunate siblings. That's a new one on me.

Obama loves to spend other people's money--our money.

But when it comes to giving, Obama and Biden do not like to part with their own money.

Obama gave 4-6% of his income in 2005-06
and Biden gave 1/3 of one per cent of his income.

Oh and how much did McCain give to charity in 2007?
Twenty-seven percent of his income.

Here's a thought - Maybe George Obama would find it offensive to be offered charity from a virtual stranger - blood relation or not. Some cultures, often even ours, look down on accepting hand outs.
The Texas GOP don't know or care whether Barack ever offered or if doing so would be a social disgrace to his barely known half brother.
For all the folks howling about the Obama family's charitable giving-how about the McCain's making the bulk of their donations to private schools while attended by their kids? Doubt that money helped any poor folks.

Mary Ok: First, I'm sure the impact of Obama's work wasn't insignificant to the people who he helped. I don't like to address others' comments - but this one is particularly offensive to people (like myself) who have worked hard and struggled (financially) to get a good education, could work in corporate America and make stacks of money - but instead choose to use our education to work to make this world better for those who are less fortunate. Obama was a community organizer when he could have had any job he wanted...he CHOSE to help others...You need to at least Respect that, if you don't want to vote for him for some other LEGITIMATE reason, fine.

Second, and in response to this ridiculous ad - we don't know what kind of a relationship Obama has with his brother (for all we know this isn't his brother...the RNC isn't exactly a bastian of truth)-- but I'm certain that if this man and his family lived in a nicer home and had received money from Obama - the RNC would be running ads pointing out that Obama had given money to an East African Muslim Group (gasp).

It makes me sad and frustrated that the polls are even CLOSE here...I can not believe that there are so many gullible people left in the American electorate that after EIGHT YEARS of Bush/McCain Policies - people would support more of the same policies that got us into this mess... (and if you think McCain is a Maverick - go to the Senate website and look at his record - he voted w/ BUSH 95% of the time)

Using his POW card AGAIN to avoid being vetted by the media and the American public is an insult to everyone who endured the horrors of a POW camp. This is getting to be his Giuliani/9-11.

Cindy McCain has two half sisters -- one from her Dad's first marriage and another from a non marital relationship. A good deal of the McCain charitable contribution goes to their own foundation.

This is definitely a thinly veiled attack on how different Obama looks - obviously an attempt to scare off or intimidate voters. Pathetic.

The gop is desperate with this ad.

This ad seems more focused on imagery than making a point about Obama "taking care of his own family". I think this ad is a lame excuse to show a picture of a Barack look-alike impoverished black man to scare voters. I know for a fact that the Texas GOP does not care about Obama's brother. They're just trying to scare people.

If Obama can't take care of a poor brother what about the rest of us

Jim Hensley did not earn his money honestly. He was a convicted felon who set up front companies, and laundered money for gangsters, thus was his first liquor, and gambling businesses. He is as dirty as a white horse in the mud. He is not what you want your children to be, unless you revere criminals.

Heck Obama's Dad probaby has 20 sons & daughters in Africa.....should Obama bring them ALL to live in his house??

Obama and Michelle just paid off their student loans....their not filty rich like McBush!!

This is just another "weapon of mass distraction".....Obama in '08!!

Wow desperate acts by desperate people/ party!!! Get real...when foreigners come over here and send money back home they get slammed now they want Barack to take care of someone he barely knows. The man just paid off his student loan a couple years ago. Didn't have any money until his books were re-released. Which still boggles my mind how this man got stuck with the elitist title. Grew up basically just a step above poort. AMERICA!!and the GOP!! I don't know about you but I am tired of being manipulated by them and their bullying tactics.

It amazes me how stupid some people are. Hint: not everyone living in other parts of the globe wrap their lives around obtaining material goods. How bout that? Obama's half-brother, that he's met all of once in his life, is content and not looking for anything from Obama. He wishes him well. Not the same can be said for the second Mrs. McCain's half-sister. Oh no, there is clear animosity there. Its as if the GOP is in some sort of parallel universe where they think these little snide ads dont actually apply to their own candidate. Could it be they realize the people that would buy it are so stupid they can pass it off? That must be it.

I think the Obama/Biden ticket is a good ticket. I feel that McCain is out of touch, and also there are a lot of War heroes,we need to put that to rest, yes McCain foought for our country, let nam go and let's move forward.

Can someone explain to me? How does getting shot down by enemy forces make someone an untouchable war hero? Do republican have no shame at all? John Kerry risked his life to save the troop mate. Still the republicans managed to swift boat him into being almost unelectable in 2004. Now they want to make a sacrosanct war hero out of a guy who got captured???

Cindy's sister has indoor plumbing. George H Obama 08!

McCain's campaign is pretty disgusting. I am really sick of all the stupid ads that discuss Obama. What does McCain stands for? Why don't they do ads on that!

This is truly pathetic! This campaign and it nominees certainly should STAY on course and discuss the most GERMANE issues at hand: ECONOMY...War...High Food Prices...Job Losses...Gas Prices... Foreclosures...Better Educational System for our CHILDREN...There are a plethora of problems which the VOTERS are concerned about. Let's stop getting in the gutter and stay FOCUSED.

*Note: Now the Obama camp will probably come out with an ad about how Cindy mcCain's has slighted 2 sisters of hers. Please. Let's move on. EBough already!!!!

A Concerned Senior Citizen

wow... reading some of these comments. Its funny that anyone and everyone is somehow tied to obama and he is responsible for them.

Mccain left his wife after returning from being pow because she was in a disfiguring car crash.... what does that say about his character?

I mean, how can you criticize obama for not taking care of his half brother that lives in another world? lol

why doesnt cindy mccain send aid to obamas brother, shes has enough money

LOL awesome point jake... its pretty funny especially given cindys sister lol... how pathetic

Why is it that all we haer about McCain is "he's a war hero." Is that going to be the Republican answer for everything? There are lots of war heros. We are looking for a President and he will have to deal with issues in the real world that can not be answered with "he's a war hearo."

PEACH: You can quote his book all day long, but McCain's recollection changes according to his audience. When he was in Pittsburgh, PA campaigning during the primaries, his story was that he recited the names of the Steelers - NOT the Packers - lineup! Intentional or just another senior moment? Of course he was also AGAINST the GI bill until it became a law and now he's all FOR it. Then he was AGAINST off-shore drilling until the oil lobby paid big bucks to his campaign and now suddenly it's the solution to end the energy crisis. And I agree with quite a few others on this post - just how is Obama's half brother situation any different than Mrs Mc's half sister? AT least Obama doesn't go around saying he's an only child.

check out the story on npr's site regarding cindy mccain's half-sister's. if this family does not care about their own family, do you think they care about the average american in these desparate times.

If you watch the interview, Barack's half brother seems very at ease and at peace in his life. He doesn't want to leave Kenya. Watching it, the first thought I had was some Repub was going to use it against Barack. What has John McCain done to help the poor? He ate birthday cake while people were dying in New Orleans during Katrina. His only concern in life is war and 'winning'. He is still fighting the Vietnam War today. That is reasonable giving what he went through but it offers us, I think, a mentally unstable candidate. Too dangerous for America: John McCain.

Obama is the most corrupt candidate that I have seen in years and he has Only been in politics for a short while. Corruption has gotten him where he is today. If elected we can have a new slogan for the USA.

CORRUPTION, THE AMERICAN DREAM!

Are you kidding...The McCains have family in the states that they don't even Acknowledge.

Not going to work. If that is his brother. He is a grown man choosing to live in a shack.

This is pretty disgusting.

The Repubs just don't get it do they. Cindy has a half sister she has written off also, I saw the interview. I also saw the interview with Obamas half brother. They met, they never clicked and he is good with it. People need to get a grip. It is not about color, half brothers or sisters it is about the issues. We do not do this right this time we will not have a healthy america in 4 years we will be in deep trouble.

Mary OK get a clue really read up before you comment

sonia trevino Yeah i got one too but sometimes like mine they want to be there I don't know if thats thecase here but sometimes brothers dislike each other so much they don't even talk I have a brother I haven't seen or talk to in 12 yrs because of choices HE made sometimes it is just not up to you .

Sally J I did not read all the comments to see if someone pointed this out to you BUT.... It is easy to give $105,000 away when you want for NOTHING when your wife pays every bill for everything buys a Jet so you can fly everywhere and it doesn't get but in as a campaign funds. Hell he could give it all away and not miss it I mean they have 100 million and 13 mil. in prop. that makes Obamas 2 million look like horse crap and to talk about his brother and grandmother living,like they do do you really want to bring up things like his ex and her sister and how heleft his ex for well you know the story and if you don't I am sure you soon will!!!

Why are you Obama supporters so jealous of Cindy's money. Her father earned it the hard way after he came out of the military! At least John and Cindy take care of family. His boys from the 1st marr. work for Cindy's co. What has Obama done for his family!! His father was a plagimist and a drunk! Read what Cindy has down for charity and read what Michelle has done for charity!! really tips the scales!! Maybe when John is president he will send Obama's bro some money and maybe the "Kennedy's" will bring the bro to the US like Obama lied and said the Kennedy's brought his father to the US. I was for Clinton and now for McCain! Vote Country first and Party Second!!

I think it's great that they acknowledged someone's impoverished in another country...

Seems the whole campaign has been about cutting rich people's taxes...

Look look they seem to care about people that aren't rich too.

I can hear Charlie Black and Mitt Romney now...

"oh yes...but ...oh no...that's not what we are saying

the brother sill should get a job."

SOMETHING WE ALL AGREE ON--AT LAST
GOODBYE
