Political Punch

LOL! FOX News is reporting that Obama won the debate!

McCain trounced Obama in the debate. McCain was specific and could point to real accomplishments. He connected with viewers. Obama talked a good game, but he was vague because he has a slim record.

To those bloggers who have been missled to believe that Obama recieved money from fannie mae, but McCain is in the clear need to check their facts. Obama did recieve $120,000 from employees from fannie mae. But according to the federal elections committe McCain recieved over $160,000 from lobbyist, directors and managers from fannie mae. It is more reasonable to belive that lobbyist, directors and managers are more likely to influence policy than mere employees.

McCain is too old and soft for the challenges that are bearing down on this country. Palin has more baggage and inexperience than we thought- We need a strong, intelligent, young person to run this nation. Barack Obama is our last hope.

You wonder why they are so adamant about NO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION being part of this deal?

John Mc"KEATING-5-SCANDAL"Cain is responsible for this economic crisis. His butt is on the line just as much as the CEO's who padded his wallet.

Personally, I'm deeply disappointed in McCain. I had, previously, respected him prior to his bid for the presidency. He's following a path laid out by poor campaign advisors and doesn't recognize that it's from an obsolete playbook. Choosing Pallin, who's a colorful character, wass a VERY dangerous choice in terms of abilities to assume the Presidency. She was simply used as a vote magnet. And, in doing so, set her up to fail. As a senator, McCain is fine and could contribute much. As a President though...I still like ya John but I'm sorry...right person, wrong job.

**I have a very serious question** Does anyone think that maybe, this will be seen as, or maybe is a DIS to the Minorities in MS? Could McCain not want to debate there because he feels the audience would strongly favor Obama? I think he would be wrong on that personally, he would probably do quite well, but it does beg to question...A one day delay maybe, but anything more seems cowardly.
I know the speculation is to buy Palin more time, but she has other things in her favor that would probably give her the advantage against Biden. Seriously, does anyone think this could be a factor?

McCain has not received money from Fannmie...Well I guess now, isn't he married into massive wealth and born into privaledge? Come on, McCain has lobbiest - being paid by many parties interested in how to get more into their pockets... Let's be fair and dish on both sides - both side have enough to serve a banquet!

If they do debate, Obama will blame McCain because he was forced into going to DC and not study for the debate FL. Obama, Obama, you are not in college in anymore, this is the real world.

Sally298: "I heard that Obama is mad BECASUE HE NOT going to have time to prepare for the debate. He DEFINITLY needs to go back to FL to study."

The irony of this single post is priceless.

I heard that Obama is mad becasue he not going to have time to prepare for the debate. He definitly needs to go back to FL to study.

I wonder if he is going have his advisor alongside for the debate too.

What's really funny is that Obama has never done anything in Illinois. We are one of the highest taxed state if not the highest. He did nothing in his district. He is not known for "reaching across the aisle." His housing experience was low income property dealings with kickbacks to his friends. Did the Rezko developement ever get heat in the units? I don't think he ever solved that problem. He thinks he can "fix" Wall Street and the mortgage problem? He got money for his wife's hospital which turns away the very people he used-to get the money. After all, why treat patients without insurance if you can direct them elsewhere-especially if you get to keep all that money anyway? He thinks he can solve the healthcare problem? And wasn't Axelrod's firm the one hired to "change the image" of the hospital? It didn't stop Michelle from getting her raise. It's the "Chicago way." By the way, for those who want McCain to release his medical records-Obama needs to release his. There could be a shock or two. While he's at it, you should insist that he releases ALL his records from his early days-except he says he didn't keep any. Doesn't that say it all?

The McCain campaign, mixed up and chaotic?

I'm shocked. Shocked.

Cripes, McCain is such a vainglorious fool.

You non-believers can say whatever you want. It does not matter what McCain or anyone else does just as it did not matter with Hillary Clinton. Obama is the chosen one, he will ascend to the presidency because he is a higher being above all of the petty games of the republicans. He will bring us into the light and guide us to a new plane where whites will no longer be the ruling class. McCain's campaign is finished.

Obama/Biden

What a crock! McCain, by his own admission, doesn't know much about the economy, so how did he expect his mere presence would bring about finalization of the bailout? Some here have criticized Obama for not suspending his campaigning or agreeing to postpone the debate tomorrow. However, he's not a grandstander like McCain; throughout the entire negotiating process he's been in touch with the Senate Banking Committee members daily. Neither McCain nor Obama are members of the Senate Banking Committee so the primary function of these two senators is to vote aye or nay to the proposal being hammered out. With today's technology, they wouldn't even have to be physically present to cast their votes; they could do so via interactive video conferencing whereby they can see and hear their Senate colleagues and each other just as the other senators can see and hear them, all in real time. The attendance of McCain and Obama at the White House today is a "command performance" ordered by the out of focus current occupant of the Oval Office, who as usual, has been a day late and a dollar short.

It's like the grasshopper and the ant.

For months, the Democrats have been campaigning on the economy.

For months, the GOP has been talking about celebrities and lipstick and internet rumors, while pretending that the economy is fundamentally sound. But yesterday, he decided that barnstorming the White House might help.

No wonder McCain doesn't want to debate the economy with Obama.

The Democrats have been begging to debate this with Republicans since 2004.

McCain looks terrible-we must get his medical records.
I think his campaign guy was there to protect him and cover for his poor health.
If you care about the future of this country you will request his medical records-you don't have to be a MD to sign the letter

Why isn't Palin in charge of the negotiations. She's got executive experience!

"The Economy is fundamentaly strong"
OK, John.
