Obama says he has been working the phones regarding the bail out. He wants to make sure his old employers (ACORN) get some of the 700 Billion.

To differentiate between Obama and his media facade, the logical place to start is his record of legislative accomplishments. But Barack Obama has no such record. So, we resort to that old English proverb, "You can judge a man by the company he keeps."

Even Bill Clinton will vote for McCain

They have been moving money around for weeks and of course this is a stall for the wealthy to get thier ducks in a row and they are.The working class will be left holding the bag I really think the middle class is a thing of the past.

I can see the hate mongers beginning to form up ranks. They must be really worried to come out of the woodwork and speak honestly, pretty out of character.

I suspect there are just as many people afraid to say that they are going to vote for Barack as there are saying they are going to switch their vote in the booth to Johnny McHothead.

I'd say swim in your rage, but I don't want to be like you, so I'll just say I hope you find some inner peace whatever happens in November.

Obama, has spent the last four years under the tutelage of his toilet licking mentors John Kerry and Teddy Kennedy, and more recently among a few thousand political hacks and handlers, endeavoring to make stuff up and recreate and reinvent himself on the bet that a majority of American voters are stupid.

Pray it ain't so.

If you really believe McCain was being genuine when he did all this then Im sorry for you! If you cant see what a stunt when its a stunt then I feel bad for you!

McCain dipped in the polls and then he became action man runing around like a headless chicken... He said he won debate then he went to the debates..

WEAK!

Obama decries school vouchers yet sends his children to the finest academy in Chicago. He hate SUVs, but sre did not in 2007 when he owned a Chrysler 300. He advocates mass transit but records show he had never registered for a CTA bus card. He commutes on a private jet.

Mike on this thing sucking I agree! I will call tomorrow!

PSS Dont confuse NASCAR with politics!

Obama spins populist themes but I am beginning to see what a stupid party I believed in the DEMOCRATS. The consummate elitists. They feign concern for the plight of the poor while nose rubbing with the richest of the rich. They are charitable with everyone's income but their own. Obama is no exception.

Posted by: Cultural Amnesia | Sep 28, 2008 10:30:09 PM

"did you notice how obama never mentioned CHANGE or HOPE during the debate?"

He didnt have too McCain change his tune and went back on his word and appeared at the debates and hope'd we wouldnt noticed no deal was done!

McCains joke...

When he tells Iran no you cant do that will thwy believe him ?

No because he broke! He blinked he was backed into a corner and gave in!

Just like he gave in to the enemy in Vietnam!

“For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market... If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.” —John McCain arguing for passage of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act (S. 190) which he co-sponsored in 2005

McCain claimed in the debate he has been to Waziristan. There is no record of such a trip. Anybody know any different?

Posted by: doug | Sep 28, 2008 10:17:32 PM

greatest moment of the debate was when obama had a senior moment and could not remember the name on the bracelet and had to look down to read it.
