Obama: McCain's Campaign Like an 'SNL' Routine

I love the new Obama, just make fun of McCain and he will blow up.
Lets face it, I'd rather have McCain make fun of Obama's comments then lie.

I am impressed with Obama's intelligence and resiliency. When he was down in the polls, he went on the offense, and began to dumb down his message a bit for the average American, and it's working. Obama is tough, smart, and compassionate. His six point plan to fix the economy compares very favorably to McHoover's plan to hold a "commission."

I think the American people are finally beginning to see through McCain's false rhetoric and lies about Obama, and focusing in on what real change really means, especially in light of the current financial crisis brought about by McCain's version of deregulation and "small government."

We don't need "small government," we need smart, competent, and compassionate government.

Obama/Biden '08!!

I rather have someone in office that knows what this country needs. Someone that doesnt beat around the bush like McCain/Palin. I dont like liars (who does?) I dont think we need another liar in office. We need someone with goals and insight on the future. i want somebody i trust, not somebody who lied to get there.

McCain was recently bragging that as part of the commerce committee he oversaw all facets of the economy- and these are the results! Up until Monday, John McCain opposed practically all regulation and referred to himself as a "deregulator". He sure changed his tune when it was politically necessary.

At the end of the day McCain and Palin don't know what they are doing. You can't expect the people responsible for digging the hole to dig you out.

and:
not so amazing:

John McCain was interviewed on the Florida affiliate of Spanish radio network Union Radio. And in the interview McCain appeared not to know who the Prime Minister of Spain was and assumed he was some anti-American leftist leader from South America.

SNOW JOB EXPRESS has replaced the straight talk express. McCain's gambit is a total failure, so sad so bad Johnny boy now go back to sea and pout.

ABC NEWS gets it right ..
from a DAVID WRIGHT interview:

John McCain was against the government bailout of AIG, before he was reluctantly for it.

In the mid 1990s, he supported a measure to ban all new government regulations. McCain supported legislation a decade ago that broke down the firewalls between commercial and investment banks and insurance companies — the very rules companies like AIG exploited to get in the current mess. And as recently as March of this year, after the collapse of Bear Stearns, McCain was all for deregulating Wall Street.

and:
GEORGE WILL: When the deregulation was the wave through Washington, he surfed that wave. Now it’s not, and the populist inside John McCain is out.

WRIGHT: Today, the Wall Street Journal accused McCain of selling out his free market ideals. Said today’s top editorial — “denouncing greed and Wall Street, isn’t a growth agenda,”

geevil get a grip you had to know McCain's gambit was a failure from the start!!! Get over it we will........

Town Halls:
Palin still can't answer a question, even at a select republican 'town hall'...about her credentials and experience.
"stump the candidate".. indeed.......

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE:
Governor Palin, there has been quite a bit of discussion about your perceived lack of foreign policy experience. And I want to give you your chance. If you could please respond to that criticism and give us specific skills that you think you have to bring to the White House to rebut that or mitigate that concern.

PALIN: Well, I think because I’m a Washington outsider that opponents are going to be looking for a whole lot of things that they can criticize and they can kind of try to beat the candidates here, who chose me as his partner, to kind of tear down the ticket. But as for foreign policy, you know, I think that I am prepared and I know that on January 20th, if we are so blessed as to be sworn into office as your president and vice president, certainly we’ll be ready. I’ll be ready. I have that confidence. I have that readiness.

"And if you want specifics with specific policy or countries, go ahead and you can ask me. You can even play stump the candidate if you want to. But we are ready to serve."

Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska on Wednesday became the nation's most prominent Republican officeholder to publicly question whether Sarah Palin has the experience to serve as president.

"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said in an interview.

What is the big deal with Bill Ayers? He was an activist 30 years ago and now he is a professor.
What is more important to ask is do you know how many people in political, judicial, legislative spheres were and are terrorists, racists, and the likes who used their powers to oppress, murder, and abuse others based on ethnicity?

Does Rev Wright bear more guilt for exposing and talking about such issues vs the American government that did horrible things to people here and around the globe?

Hello, People, we live in America, not a utopia. I am surprised that there wasn't more violence against the injustices in the 60s when Bill Ayers was an activist. Does anyone read up on American history? Recent American history? I love my country, but I am not blinded by my adoration [yes, I usually get more sensitive if a foreign national talks about us verses one of my fellow patriots) but I understand that it has done some perverse-sick things to its citizens and others.

Wake up, America!

Senator McCain, the new one, scares the hell out of me. Gov. Palin scares the hell out of me as well -- neither one of these are fit to POTUS.

re: ' Dems do not want any investigation into the biggest scandal ever to hit the US and are trying their best to block any.'

ahhh.... The republicans = an open book to the public's right to know..... ROTFLMAO

hang in there,... after the election you might get all the investigations you want, and, amazingly they will cover the last 8 years of republican malfeasance.

Why does Obama preface so many of his statements with "I'm not makin' this stuff up"?

Does this mean he makes a lot of stuff up at times and he has to let us know what isn't "made up"?

Got a good one! There's a new drug out on the market for Alzheimer's disease called "Aricept". In the commercial, the actor playing the guy with Alzheimer's looks just like.......guess who????? That's right, JOHN McCAIN! Now the McCain people will now say it's Barack whose behind this vile and disgusting ad!!! Go Aricept!!!

The McCain campaign reminds me of an abuser who says "You made me do this to you." John McCain keeps saying things wouldn't have been negative if Barack Obama had just done what he asked and participated in town hall meetings. Isn't that something like a guy named Guido saying "I wouldn't have broken your legs if you'd just paid the money?" Now his merry band is pointing the finger at Barack Obama for speaking out--which his also typical of abusive personalities. If the victim fights back, it's the victim who is portrayed as the abuser--not the abused. As for the economy, for those who want to rattle off numbers (and you cite that as the strength of the McCain backers), tell me why I'm having to take more food to the local food bank. They say they've never seen it this bad. Is it that your own economy is okay, so you're fine? Numbers don't help when you can't feed your kids.

Acrtually Clinton whining because she can't turn a protest nito a partisan event is like an SNL routine.

"Its all so negative!" is just a less aggressive way of saying, "You're all a bunch of whiners." You should have Phil Gramm over for dinner and serve up some pork!

The media and congress are flabbergasted at the new lows presented by this presidential campaign. There is a ridiculous amount of negativity and smearing! Its horrific!

Of course, its McCain's tactics their talking about.

As for Obama mocking him--McCain wants to be president of the United States, and he goes in front of people and says, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong." That deserves mocking.

Oh, he was talking about the American people? He was talking about our capitalistic society? Well, duh. We all support capitalism. So if your not voting for McCain, you're voting against capitalism and the American worker? That needs to be mocked, too. He's a simple-minded man. He'd be the first simple-minded man to be POTUS since...George W Bush. He is not presidential.

Oh, and I forgot, Thanks Tim Pawlenty too!

"Negative, negative, negative.
Everything about Obama and the people around him and his supporters and his cohorts in the press are just negative, sliming, mud-slinging personal attacks.

Obama will only bring more division in the country; whether it be his sexist barbs, his ageist smears, or his racist untruths or his inciting class warfar

Obama has become the poster child of what is wrong with Washington politicians.
Why is it that everyone supporting the Obama crusade is so negative and vile?

And now Joe Biden says it is our patriotic duty to pay higher taxes!"

Dear Zank,

So criticizing McCain's own statements and recommendations is considered "personal attacks?" Really?

Could you please cite specific examples, actual quotes, of Obama using sexist barbs, ageist smears & racists untruths?

And please don't use one of the oldest lies about "class warfare." Since Bush passed tax cuts that put 10s of $1,000 in the pockets of the richest people in America my middle class household saw VERY little reduction in our federal tax burden our property taxes have INCREASED at least 50% since 2000, and that is under our wonderful "no new taxes" Republican govenor.

Thanks George Bush and John McCain!

McCain has a solid record of opposing financial regulation, a record he now must answer for. It was he who started the campaign of nastiness, so Obama must fight back. Kerry did not, and was not elected because he was perceived as not tough enough. But I don't think Obama has done anything dirty. He is scrutinizing McCain's record and using newspaper critiques of McCain's own dirty campaign ads. Looks like the GOP can dish it out, but can't take it. Oh, and I read the US $9 trillion in debt, not "just" $1 trillion. And this all happened under GWBush's watch, while Clinton managed to give the US a surplus. Why would this country give the GOP four more years of disastrous policies?
