Obama in Asheville to Hit McCain for Adviser's "Turning a Page on This Financial Crisis" Remark

I love you Barack Obama!!!! Just keep on talking to the American people. We need a president that's going to look out for us!!! I'm tired of the rich getting richer and the poor becoming poorer! John Mccain let's not turn the page on the economy that's why we're in this mess today because no one was paying attention.

It's a good line of defense, preempting the attacks from McCain's camp and also attacking McCain for his lack of understanding on the economy. (Where's Mitt Romney when you need him.)
Best defense is a good offense.

The fact that some people don't recognize that the associations Obama has made define his is saddening.
Ayers is not only an American terrorist, like the OKC bombers, but a known racist, against whites.

Neither of these economic policies have or will work.Same old stuff for seventy years.Return the power to the states and to the people of the republic to really fix the problem, Our problems are a symptom of big, bloated, intrusive government. Flat tax is across the board fair, the more you buy or make the more you pay.

Well, I had the pleasure of seeing Barack Obama today in Asheville, and I'm glad I had the opportunity. He speaks about what matters to most Americans, whether they support him or not, he cares more about the working and middle class and I'm looking forward to see what he will accomplish when he becomes our next President of the United States!

Like always Obama talking the isssues we American's want to hear him talk about. McCain and Palin? negative stuff, lies, talk about judgement, McCain lacks it.

How could anyone ever trust John McLie and Sarah Six-Pack after this last character assault? Almost everytime they open their mouths, a lie pops out. I'm voting straight Democrat. The more of the GOP that we can weed out of the system, the better off we will be.

I appreciate the many insightful comments on this blog, such as to look at 401K statements to see how well the Republican administration has been taking care of the middle/lower-income classes for the last eight years, with their hidden taxes through enormous budget deficits, etc.
About some of bloggers' wild comments... If you, or a candidate, start pointing fingers and making vicious attacks, remember that those who point fingers at others often are pointing four other fingers back at themselves and their character. Which candidates are demonstrating the most integrity? Don't just listen to words, decide who you can trust the most through their ACTIONS. I plan to vote for Barack Obama here in NC. I'm looking for constructive changes to help our hurting nation (and the rest of the world).

Keep talking about the issues, Senator Obama, and you'll keep the movement going your way. Undecideds are not going to be swayed by another round of distort, distract, divide and lie.

You've gotta love seeing the McCain Points competitors try to join Clinton and Palin together as victims of "sexism." Clinton and Palin have about as much in common as Meryl Streep and Paris Hilton do.

I watch this campaign from Portugal with great interest and think Obama has a lot to give to the american people and to the world. As for McCain/Palin, have you noticed that we can only give what we have? lies, smeers, gutter campaign is all they give/are!

so Mc CAIN plans to fight the economic crisis by...turning the page???? and smear Obama during 30 days??????????
Euh may i understand why smear Obama instead of making his own case???I mean is there something that i don't understand???

"What do you think? Fair hit or not?"

Absolutely, especially given Palin's remarks over the weekend, trying to paint Obama as un-American.

I, for one, don't want to turn the page on the economy. Both my husband and I fear we will lose our jobs.

And John McCain is not telling me how he will turn the economy around. Getting rid of earmarks and reforming Washington won't do it. More tax cuts for the rich? We've already tried that.

Definitely a fair hit. And it's fair to call the references we've seen so far to Obama's association with William Ayers a "Swiftboat-style attack" - there's nothing substantial in them at all. It's basically 'Obama knows college professor with radical past' - well, so what? Has his interaction with Ayers been in respect to Ayer's radical past, or has it been with Ayer's job as a college professor? It's the latter - and 'Obama knows college professor' isn't much of a story.

The McCain campaign needs something much, much, more substantial if they're going to make something out of it. It's one thing to try and make a mountain out of a molehill, but what they have is a very small piece of dirt.

Anyone wishing harm to America would love to have another bumbling inept memory challeged person as president. To continue the insane non working policies that Bush has set in stone. Think about it terrorist attck us and Bush uses that attack to upend the constitution, our civil rights, invade Iraq a unrelated country and bankrupt America. What more could a terrorist want than to have the president harm Americans for them? Are you and the country better off today than you were before 911?

Has osama bin laden been caught? Have we tried to capture him in an intelligent and effective way? Answer that and remember McCain thinks and works just like Bush. Anybody voting for Mccain has to be insane.

In 2004 videotape, Bin Laden explained his strategy against U.S. — ‘bleed until bankruptcy.’

Over on the Wonk Room, Matt Duss recalls this line from Osama bin Laden’s surprise late-October 2004 videotaped address:

======================================
And even more dangerous and bitter for America is that the Mujahedin recently forced Bush to resort to emergency funds to continue the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq which is evidence of the success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan with Allah’s permission… And it all shows that the real loser is… you. It’s the American people and their economy.
===================================

The CIA judged that Bin Laden’s videotaped message was an effort by al Qaeda to deliver four more years for President Bush, thus helping them recruit a new generation of terrorists.

At a rally on Saturday in California, Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women," the Alaska Governor said, claiming she was quoting former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

The statement came after Palin had recounted a "providential" moment she experienced on Saturday: "I'm reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, okay? The quote of the day... It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State [crowd boos] and UN ambassador. ... Now she said it, I didn't. She said, 'There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women.'"

Actually, Albright didn't say that. The accurate quote is, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women." (Sources made the same point to CBS's Scott Conroy.)

Albright responded to Palin's remarks in a statement to the Huffington Post on Sunday. "Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden."

Dr. Larry Hunter: Lifelong conservative republican economist and former Reagan official supports Senator Obama.

Hillary Clinton lobbed a doozy at McCain while she was filling in for Joe Biden on the campaign trail:
Clinton said Biden called and asked her to fill in for him because of the family emergency. Rather than sharing her thoughts, she said, "I want to share with you the eloquent remarks that Joe had prepared."

Clinton sought to tie McCain to Bush, saying the Arizona senator offered voters "more of the same."

"He's not a maverick. He's a mimic," she said.

wow. all the hate from the McCain/Palin camp... is this what desperation smells like?

it's awful.

I'm glad Obama is responding quickly to these attacks unlike Kerry who let them go on and on until people actually started believing them. I'm proud of the democratic candidate this time, he is smart and will not let anyone tear him down!
