In the Ohio Papers This Morning

Barak Hussein Obama is a self-promoting do-nothing. His accomplishments are as follows: graduating from schools; community organizer in that cesspool of corruption, Chicago politics; elected to the Illinois State Senate - same cesspool; elected to the US Senate for one year when he began to run for President of the United States. Never served in the US military. He has not claimed he was disabled. Multi-decade affiliation with domestic terrorists and others who hate the USA. This guy is experienced at two things, hating America and promoting himself. He is a lefty, even for left wingers.

We Buckeyes like war heros who speak straight like McCain!

I hope the Ohio residents look at their bank accounts and remember the struggles of the last 8 years. McCain has 7 or 8 homes and 13 cars. Do you really think that he is looking out for your interests? Ohio, this entire election can lie on your votes! Please for future of our country, make the right decision and come out in groves to elect Barack Obama. He is the only presidential candidate that will bring change. McCain voted 95% of the time with Bush. Do you really think he's going to change? Some Maverick!

Maggie - I guess we will have President Biden, then. No way in hell will we have President Mc.

Obama's grandmother is elderly and is no longer capable of travel! Seriously that was a desperate comment!

Palin did abuse her power! We all know that the trooper was a jerk but she had no business bringing in a family freud into Alaskan government business! I read the report! We should be concerned that because Todd Palin is not an elected official he had so much access to the state of Alaska business!

I am sick of Palin getting a free ride! Seriously! She went to 5 colleges in 6 years, she boarded a plane with her water broken at 36 weeks with a child with down syndrome risking delivery on the plane and no infant emergency equipment! Down syndrome babies often have severe cardiac anomalies, her teen daughter is pregnant and she wants her to get married and the girl hasn't even graduated from highschool! She has no clue about foreign policy and thinks because she can see Russia from Alaska that counts as experience! She left the town of Wisilla in debt, she owes back taxes, she is the queen of earmarks, dosn't think that a woman should have a abortion even in the case of rape and incest! I question McCain judgement that he would pick her! I respected McCain before this and if he would have picked a strong VP I might have considered voting for him! He has NO clue what to do about the economy and just spoats off ideas without thinking about them! McCain has voted against veterans 28 times and his wife Cindy McCain has the audicity to critizice Obama for no voting 1 time not to fund the troops because Obama wanted a time frame for withdrawal! I could care less that Obama sat on a board with Ayers! Obama was 7 years old when Ayers did what he did! Who cares!

i only have one comment for the guy who has an october surprise about OBAMA not being a citizen because he was born WHERE? it doesnt matter,FYI, it could be anywher in the world he is still U.S.citizen just because his Mother is. unless you have proof that his mom wasnt born to American parents,research on that!!or get an education it might help you. no wonder you sympathize w/ Palin,she didnt read either.

From The Blade of Toledo, OH: "Sen. John McCain, by nature, has shown himself to be incapable of providing the American people with an optimistic vision of the future. Firmly rooted in the failed politics and policies of the past, he cannot guide us on a path he does not see. Senator Obama already has demonstrated that he is a man of the future in the way he has inspired a new generation of voters to become involved in the political process and to actively strive for a better tomorrow." Amen. Obama/Biden '08!

Professorj said: He also says he will give a tax cut to 95% of Americans. How can he do that when 40% of Americans pay no taxes in the first place? Taxing upper income people and then sending money to people who didn’t pay anything to begin with is not a tax cut, it is the socialist policy of income redistribution.

Agreed! It will come right back to the middle class. Pluck the money from the rich, give it to the middle class, then take it from the middle class and on down it goes. Same ole same ole. I have no problem with my taxes being used to help those less fortunate. I really don't...but only if it helps them up. So far, all we see is the same thing. It enables...and government is an enabler. I want these programs used in a more productive way. More enforcement on how this money is given, and more checks, and balances on those recieving it, as it should only go to those who are most in need, and want that help up...not the hand out.

Taxes will come in the form of capital gains, death taxes raised, gas taxes raised. When gas was nearing almost $200 a barrel, Obama wanted to put another 28 cents on the federal gas tax. The drilling ban is gone, but I would bet dollars to donuts, if Obama is elected, and there's a majority of Dems in Congress....we will see the ban re-inserted, and the price of gas will soar beyond what we've ever seen before.

If you think the economy is bad now...just wait.

Notice how the stock market is bad? People are pulling their money now....so they won't have to pay that 28% capital gains tax. Even Democrats are pulling out.

Josh said: as for tasing his step-son it was the step-son who asked him to do it so that he could show his cousin how tough he was.

By that logic, if a child asks an adult, especially a parent, or step parent to shoot them....you shoot them? When do we accept adult responsibility for our actions?

I do not agree with what Todd Palin did, but from reading several stories, this was a problem the Palins, and other family members brought forth, a few years before she became Governor.

As for the drinking. He apparently did.

This is from a CNN news story.

Troopers eventually investigated 13 issues and found four in which Wooten violated policy or broke the law or both:

• Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.

• He illegally shot a moose.

• He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.

• He told others his father-in-law would "eat a f'ing lead bullet" if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.

Beyond the investigation sparked by the family, trooper commanders saw cause to discipline or give written instructions to correct Wooten seven times since he joined the force, according to Grimes' letter to Wooten.

I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldnt' want anyone on our police force here, that was behaving this way.

Again...I don't agree with what Todd Palin did, but there really is no excuse for Mr. Wootens behavior either, considering the authority position he's in. He needs to set the example.

From editorandpublisher: "Barack Obama picked up at least 12 newspaper endorsements this weekend, including six in swing states Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Missouri. John McCain, as far as we know, gained none."

Favorite story today: "On the fence no longer, 106 year old Catholic nun, Sister Cecilia Gaudette says she has made up her mind to cast a vote for Barack Obama."

McCane & Pitiful Palin are Over ....

Those of you that believe the untrue myth Obama wasn't actually born in America had better hope that a similar rumor about McCain isn't true. He was born in Panama, ya know, and there are questions about it.

Get real. His grandmother is very old and I'm sure the last thing she wants in television cameras in her face. We don't see much of McCain's mother, do we?

Sen. Obama SAYS that the top 2% of the nation's wage earners would see their federal income tax rates increased back to where they were during the Clinton Administration; and the bottom 95% would see either a tax cut or a tax credit.

According to the latest IRS statistics (updated July 2008), in 2006 the total number of federal tax returns reporting a positive Adjusted Gross Income were 135.7 million. 95% of that figure equals 128.9 million returns reporting a positive AGI. And approximately 2.8 million of the returns reported an AGI of at least $250,000.

That tax increase for the top 2% in 2006 would have amounted to only about $65 billion in additional revenue.

If Sen. Obama's tax plan gives the bottom 95% of workers a $500 tax cut or tax credit that would have amounted to $64.5 billion in 2006. So raising the federal income tax rates on the top 2% would only pay for the tax cuts or tax credits that Sen. Obama would give to the bottom 95%. So where does Sen. Obama come up with the revenue to pay for the $4,000 tax credit that he plans to give for each child in college? Where does he come up with the revenue to pay for preschool for every preschool-aged child? Where does he come up with the revenue to pay for nationalizing our health care system?

The numbers just do not add up. So Sen. Obama will have to raise the federal income tax substantially more for the top 2%, and he may have competely forego the middle class tax cuts or possibly implement tax increases in order to pay for the estimated $500 billion to $1 trillion in new entitlements.

You know that a campaign is in serious trouble when it has nothing to say on the issues, has spend time distancing itself from every remark at every event, when there is no coherent message, when the two candidates start to contradict each other, and the campaign begins to attract some unsavoury elements. Sadly, Senator McCain is no longer in charge of his campaign, and his running mate is putting down a marker for 2012..in the last debate Sen. McCain talked about a spending freeze, now he wants the spend a billions on buying back mortgages!!, as for the Alaska probe, 10 Republican and 4 Democrats found that Gov.Palin abused her power, 10 GOP/4 Dems!!..spin that one.

AUSSIE i suggest you get your own house in order before scolding us and criticizing america. australias TREAMENT OF ITS ABORIGINAL PEOPLE IS APPALLING. IN FACT THEY HAVE BEEN CITED BY THE U.N HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. I COULD GO ON FOR EVER ON THE DISGUSTING MANNER IN WHICH YOUR COUNTRY HAS TREATED ITS ORIGINAL INHABITANTS. I WILL END WITH ADMITTING THAT WE HAVE OUR OWN WORK TO DO IN MAKING AMENDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF OUR ORIGINAL AMERICANS. BUT I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR PASION AND APPLY IT TO MAKING CHANGES IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY BEFORE YOU PREACH YOUR HOLIER THAN THOU RHETORIC.

Do any of you realize that there is no law that says that any individual has to pay federal income taxes. which means the only way anyone will have there taxes raised is if they choose to pay a federal income tax.

And by the Palin did Abuse her Pwoer and let her husband abuse her power. and as for tasing his step-son it was the step-son who asked him to do it so that he could show his cousin how tough he was. As for drinking beer on the job where did you hear this from Palin or from an Independent source because I have never heard that.

Professorj,

Are you saying the rich keep stealing from the poor, and the poor keep complaining about it?

When one talks about compromising the integrity of the electorial process Katherine Harris always comes to my mind.

Jessica,

Right on! Tell the right wing radicals the truth. Palin abused power. This is on the record.
