Political Punch

Riley: You are so right. I listened to a news media state that Obama makes a sincere speech full of lies. He know how to wheel and deal and fool the public and most of them are eating up his words from the speeches of RFK. That is where he got his words of change and hope. And I understand he used the speech of JFK on last Thursday night. When McCain picked Palin he stuck it rich. His ratings went up and he is now neck to neck with Obama who was 8 points ahead. I believe McCain can win this election because his is getting bigger crowds now and Obama is not the celebrity anymore Palin is.

I believe Senator McCain stated elsewhere in his speech that he wanted to "do away with partisan politics" or words to that effect. The "anointed" line must be his first attempt at doing so.

Yup, yup.

"His delivery of the speech leaves something to be desired"

Kind of difficult to be a fluid speaker when the Vietcong knock your teeth out.

Why is it hate when someone describes what Obama is all about? Why the reflexive, over the top defense of Obama? It's comments like these which say alot about where a journalist's true loyalties are. It's a "tell".

Different. Obama is forever saying that "this is the moment" and "it's not about me" (worst line ever-clearly indicates that it is about him...we KNOW its not about you). POW does not self-anointed mean...although they are playing that card a bit.

IS HE SUPPOSED TO LIKE OBAMA? ARE YOU LIBERALS SO NAIVE AS TO ASSUME THAT EVEN HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO PRAISE OBAMA? TOO MUCH KOOL AID IN THE PRESS.....

If you like hearing false
POW torture stories over
and over and over, McCain
is your man.

If you want to get involved
in new wars in Georgia,
Ukraine and other places,
damage relations with Russia,
continue forever our
dependence on Middle East oil,
and if you like to see our
economy wrecked, McCain has
the skills to do them all
for you.

It was a bad pivot. You're right.

A notable part of the speech was the promise to run the most open and transparent administration in history. We don't hear that from Obama who's campaign has kept a very tight control over information. In this, Obama is more like Bush than McCain is. There is a scary aspect about the man in the way he keeps obscuring his past, rewriting history, and controlling the presentation to put a halo around his own personality.

I don't mind that people support him. It is the worship that troubles me.

Obama is so full of himself and has totally bought into being God's gift to America.

I hope Americans can see which candidate is genuine and who has a lifetime of fighting for our country.

I'll take McCain's simple speeches, his simple stage(even the green screen)the background with a huge flag--I'll take that any day over Obama's rediculous Berlin speech and fake Greek Temple.

All of you Obama supporters who think he represents change should check out the show that was on ABC at midnight yesterday. And it was not given by Rep. or Dem sympathizers it was just a factual show. They showed fat cat lobbyists flying in key people for the Dem convention and guess who stepped off of the plane, none other than John Kerry. And, while the convention was taking place and your Savior Obama was spouting off about change, Nancy Pelosi had lobbyists and fat cats at a special hotel on a reserved floor, giving them the star, the moon and the planet. So don't you tell me that he represents so much change. Just like I thought. A hypocrite! I knew as much when he aligned himself with people like Kerry and Biden! I hope he get trounced in November.

Obama is responsible for
the troop withdrawal
timetable that will be
signed between us and the
Iraqi government soon.
So he already has a major
accomplishment.

His next undertaking will
be putting an end to
imported oil in ten years.

If his administration does
just that, only that, and
nothing else, it'll be one
of the most spectacular
achievements of the last
seventy years since the
discovery of oil in Saudi
Arabia in 1938.

John Smith:
Tired of hearing that he was a war hero? Well, let's drop all of you in the middle of Iraq! and let you be a prisoner of war for 3 years, if they don't lop off your head first, and than complain to me that you're tired of hearing that he was a war hero! It's just sour grapes because that is something that Obama can't trump and you Obama zombies don't like it so take your ball and go home you big babies!

Pelosi and Oprah think God sent Obama to save us. Isn't that enough?
America is so pitiful we need someone like Obama to save us.

He must be great-he built a 6 million
dollar styrofoam temple to himself.

And if Obama is elected we can quit our jobs and let the big government take care of us.
The rich will take care of us. They don't deserve the money they earned.

Shouldn't you have said Woof? Afterall, Obama said that Hillary's claws would come out. Isn't the cat fighting nonsense always slapped on a woman/ And, I loved the comment that McCain made myself because I am sick and tired of hearing how Obama is going to save the country and all he does is give speeches. He has no proven track record at all so how does everyone know he is going to save the USA? Simply because he says he will? And, it was not discordant. He was making a point. He was always wanting to serve and not because all of a sudden people picked him to run for President. I think it was a well-made point. I loved it. I'm tired of everyone handling Obama with kid gloves. Big deal! He is a black man running for President. So, Hillary was the first woman running and obama slammed her gender constantly during the primary season. So, I think it's appropriate that that he gets slammed. I'm thrilled.

Lou - sorry to break your bubble but it was McCain that received over 10 million dollars after Palin spoke , not Obama

Be Afraid Be really afraid!!

Its all about Obama
Everytime someone says something its about Obama, Pres. Bush makes a comment about Appeasers in the 30s and its about Obama
McCain says something oh its about Obama
man Obama has a chip on his shoulder maybe that is why he thinks of himself as Apollo!!

AB please let us know where Obama was asked tough questions or put through a ringer, hey we found out that when Michelle 'I hate America' Obama was on the view, the View was restricted on what it could talk about.

Obama will take away freedom of speech, even hardline Democrats are afraid of him!! because he is a hardline Marxist!!

I think the hypocrisy from the left is funny you honor a draft dodger in one electio, then come up with lies about the Republican service and then condemn him for not serving.
You put on your shoulders a man who puts his supposed service in Vietnam (3 months of) who received medals for self inflicted wounds from accidents as a hero, but when a Republican who is a true American hero says something, you cry he is saying it too much.

You libs cry that woman are not on the ticket, the republicans put a woman and not only that a Strong woman on the ticket and you scream sexist rants.

A Black man runs for Senate on the republican ticket and you libs throw oreos at him.

Libs are liars and hypocrites, they can never back up their statements.

Be Afraid , Be really Afraid.

I know this post will be removed because it condemns libs but it was worth it!

marylou,

Between the time Sarah Palin finished her speech and John McCain made his, Obama received $10 million in donations.

Those donations are a direct response to Sarah Palin's dissing of community organizers.

She got a good laugh from the crowd, but it turns out the joke was on her and the GOP.

By the way, during the same time period, donations for McCain were only about $1 million.

Meow? Oh I get it. Obama is a pussycat right? I'll agree with that.

The One set himself up for this. Obama's fad is fading and America is seeing him for what he is - a smooth talker with a ginormous ego!

McCain: "I'm not running for president because I think I'm blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need."

where do he say anything about Obama? McCain is being humble.
