Obama Watched Palin Speech

QUESTION:
IS PALIN QUALIFIED COMPARED TO OBAMA ?

Palin/McCain...I think he's the VP. I feel sorry for you folks that just don't understand that McCain doesnot care about this country. You must see McCain revealed on CNN. Obama is has a stuttering problem. His stammering is not dishonest and calculating. You must check-out McCain and Obama revealed on CNN. This country is in really bad shape. War is not not
what's up. Bushes dad bought him a Yale degree. The boy does not have a clue. Obama can get the job done. You will see because he is going to win.

rodney: You must be short of hearing. Palin's son enlisted on his own. She doesn't not tell her children what to do if they are old enough because they would feel like kids.

Samatha: Yes, Obama did throw Hillary under the bus. He, Pelosi, Dean and Reid talked to the superdelegates about their voting. I would take bets on it that they promised them favors for voting Obama. Pelosi was so feared that she told Hillary to count only 32 states and cancel the roll call because she suspected Hillary would win over Obama. The DNC are underhanded and worse than a rat. Especially Nancy Pelosi who whats to be the woman in charge. I hope McCain wins this election and the republicans take back the house.

Indy Voter: I think you are a confused man. Obama stutters and hesitates before answering questions because he doesn't know how to answer them. He has to think first. Its a good thing he has Biden to think for him or he would be in a mess like this country will be if he is elected. Both Obama and Biden are the biggest joke of the democrats.

Off the subject here and a break from politics, did people see the little daughter of Sarah lick her hands to comb baby Palin's hair.?? This probably was the best NON-political moment.

The blogs seem full of questions about what Community Organizers do. Well I don't know about Chicago. But I can tell you what they do here in Albuquerque, n.m. They usually come around every Saturday morning knocking on doors and asking for hand outs of groceries, food, money or anything that is useful. They are also looking for newcomers to the area (especially poor people from Mexico). They hand out brochures printed in Spanish and English with a lot of important phone numbers, police dept., ambulance, who to call for free medical service, schedule and location of local city park parties (where there is free commodity hand outs, free hot dogs for the kids) and the location and phone numbers of the local welfare office. Also these brochures list all the things you need to take with you to apply for welfare. I am so damn sick of picking these things out of my rose bushes and flower beds every week. I am not knocking any one, I have not voted in 50 years, and will not vote this year. I could not live with my conscience. Just telling you what a community organizer does. At least that is what they are called here in Albuquerque.

After reading these entries (when I should be doing something much more productive) I am really struck by how people can come away from last night with 2 completely different takes on what actually happened. But, for those who have blinders on, here's what actually happened last night:

1. A GOP-groomed politician with no real substance and off-the-map radical social policies read a speech off a teleprompter that was written by somebody else for somebody else. She read it well, hit all the write pauses and applause lines, but it was recitation nonetheless.

2. This politician was picked by another politician - one who is aging, outdated, and doing whatever he feels necessary in his last chance to succeed. This includes placating a ultra-conservative, ultra-religious wing part of his party that really he does not agree with, but is willing to side with for political expediancy.

3. Rather than pursue an honest discussion about issues of consequence to this country, which would require knowledgable, experienced, confident discourse, she resorted to name-calling and insults. No policy, only pandering.

So, where does that leave us? Well (and I'm paraphrasing here), when the cloud of rhetoric dissipates, and the words end, and the soaring speeches are over, we'll see her for what she truly is: an empty (pants)suit. And all her so-called historic candidacy proves is that a woman can be every bit as hateful, close-minded, and misguided in her vision for the country as a man.

Posted by dl: "you see obama answered questions and wrote his speech

and he actually answers those questions when he is asked...and actually daily lets people ask...

he answers discussions...and 2 or 3 follow ups..."

If you had ever seen Senator Obama give unscripted responses to candid questions you would know that the man stammers and stumbles all over himself in that scenario. Broadcast events with him responding to questions are staged to make him look far better than he is. And no, he did not write his acceptance speech. He does not write any of his speeches, and in fact, content of a good number of his speeches is not even original, but rather has been "borrowed" from speeches of other notable politicians.

I have no doubt he will give a flawless performance tonight on the O'Reilly show. Having refused repeated invitations to appear on the show for months, apparently O'Reilly has finally given in to Obama's demands of a scripted interview. Obama would never agree to do the show otherwise. If he did, he would be exposed for the fraud he is.

sending her son to iraq--wonder how she would feel if he gets killed for the benifit of ---CHINA---

Palin ticked off the Alaska GOP by running to the right of them.

If you are too conservative for a state Republican Party in Alaska... you probably will be too conservative for the rest of the country.

Sure, they try to make her out like an everymom... but she is a hard-right ideologue... more like Michelle Bachman or Jean Schmidt. The GOP is fulling these "rising stars" who really are just hyped and backed by well-heeled interests of the party, looking out for future leaders to dump on our heads. GWB was the same... he was new, different, inspirational, etc. But to close observers, you could see he was beholden to those who "made" him. Palin's the same.

As this sinks in, McCain is going to see his polling numbers sink.

More than likley Indy voted for Bush or Nader in 2000. End of story.

Debra,
I grant you McCain does okay when given softball questions by Republican supporters in a town hall setting. He stammers and his face reddens when he is challenged with tough questions though. I thought he fumbled badly when explaining his choice of Palin to Charles Gibson the other night. Maybe it was because he could not say with a straight face that she was the best choice for the job...

My uncle did not die on the beach at Normandy to see a marxist, community organizer in the white house. Go John and Sarah!

Samantha,
The reason folks are getting on Palin's case is the hypocrisy that is inherent to the Republican party. I think it is written into their somewhere. "Do as I say not as I do". Democrats have their hypocrisy too but the reaction to Palin's bringing in her children is more about making a mockery out of Republican so-called family values and conveniently they are forgotten by Republicans when they stand in the way of ambition.

samanta

can you get me a callendar

Samantha,
Obama didn't throw Clinton under the bus. They crawled under the bus 10 years when he was impeached. I voted for Clinton twice. What he did was shameful. Bill and Hillary should ease silently into the twilight. But that has never been their style. Hillary and Bill our kindred spirts of McCain not in policy but it their pandering...If you want to vote for McCain that is your choice. But understand you are voting to continue the morass this country has been the last 8 years. McCain will not change that since his policies mirror Bushes.

The same lack of shame you Obamabots show in accusing a women of being a neglectful mother because she brings her baby to her acceptance speech as VP candidate and the convention noise is deafening. I am sure someday that young man will see that tape and be glad that he was visibly a part of history and that very important moment in his mom's life.

The trouble with BOTs is that fairness has no part in your repertoire of fear. I am fine with Obama's kids being on stage and I don't accuse him of exploiting or endangering his kids. Obama could have come up with tons of hypothetical nonsense to not allow his daughters to share that moment. God forbid they are harmed. God forbid McCain or anyone dies in office.

Clean up your act Obamabots and stop being whining hypocrites. You sound like such a bunch of losers.

ryan,

The Democrats have done a miserable job with the concerns of minorities.

And it shows in their failed programs.

Again your proof for Denzel being a Republican is that you are Vp of his midwest fan club right?

Even though he's never sent a dime to any candidate until Obama.
