I agree with McCain here. Obama's super bowl ad promising to "SAVE THE PLANET" and "CHANGE THE WORLD" demonstrates that he has an absurdly unrealistic assessment of his own capabilities and limitations and the role of our government. In that regard, he is a lot like George Bush--just on the complete opposite end of the political spectrum. I have had enough of a president who is completely divorced from reality. Obama mocks "seasoning" on the campaign trail, but clearly he could use a little of it. I've voted Dem. in every presidential election since Ronald Reagan. If Obama is the nominee, that will change.

Perhaps John McCain should acknowledge that the same journal that named Obama the 'most liberal' last year wouldn't judge McCain's record because he hadn't shown up to vote enough in 2007 for them to include him.

And really, maybe McCain is upset that Obama was elected to the senate 4 years ago and is running an excellent presidential campaign. Four years after McCain was elected to the senate he was being rebuked for his part in Keating 5.

At least Obama and Clinton went back to do their jobs when Harry Reid needed them for the stimulus bill, where was McCain?

If I cannot for Clinton, I vote for McCain.....at least they have experience and are not ultra liberal and have at least visited the countries we are conserned about. Where has Obama gone and for what purpose...what makes him think he can give a pretty speech to foreign leaders and have them swoon.

sound and proven ideas, you mean like the ones that have lead us to an endless war, bottomless debt and an inadequately educated populace that far to many have to choose between seeing a doctor and paying the rent. You mean those ideas. John, get someone to read his positions off his site and write a synopsis for you. Don't worry they can dumb down th economic bits so you can understand them.

Louis:

Maybe someone can read Obama's "positions off his site and write a synopsis" for Barack so he can start to campaign on them instead of the insipid hope and change drivel. Oh wait, I think someone did that today---I heard that he's rolling out some substance. Strange, Obama's "substance" looks remarkably like a cobbled together version of Edwards and Clinton proposals--just missing a few key elements like a health care mandate, which even the Heritage Foundation (hardly a bastion of big government initiatives) endorses over denying the poor access to care. Obama says: " the reason people don't have health insurance is not because they don't want it but because they can't afford it." Duh Barack! That is precisely the problem that your proposal is supposed to solve and doesn't! Clinton's does, Edwards' did. Hell, you could say the same thing about social security---"the reason people don't fund their social security account is not because they don't want to but because they can't afford it..." Is retirement income any more or less important than access to health care? Has Obama thought through any of this stuff? The answers are no and no.

But boy has he got some bit ideas. The man ran a super bowl commercial that promised "we can save the planet",,,,"we can change the world." I don't know how much something like that costs, but it can't be cheap! Hold on to your wallets--he has already said that he will raise income taxes, lift the FICA limit and raise capital gains taxes. I'm sure this will provide just the boost that we need to get us out of this recession.

He's great with a teleprompter though. Kind of like Reagan that way...

Rematch of Clinton and Dole. Old Bob was a war hero too. His ideas were just as old.

Wait till the Republican machine gets hold of Obama. You haven't seen nothing yet.

Swift boaters are just getting ready. If democrats think they are going to win the White House with Obama, they are delusional.

He did not get vetted in any of his election especially, to US Senate. Would have if, Jack Ryan didn't self-destruct and Alan (the nut) Keys became Obama's opponent.

His far left liberal politics will turn off many independents and they will vote for McCain making up for his loss right-wing conservative vote.

Then again, the power hungry right-wingers are not going to vote for anyone else, they want to keep the WH.

Fun is just beginning. Like Lou Dobbs says, it is great to be independent these days.

McCain needs to FORGET about his opponents and tell US, what he plans to do about Immigration besides some damn fence. What about the economy? Here he is worrying about other people. What a joke.

My vote next month will go to Obama or Huck, I encourage others to do the same. McCain clearly doesn't get it. We need to remind him, he hasn't won anything yet! He may essentially have the nomination, but he still NEEDS us.

An American citizen should be able to ask Obama
a question, without being crucified by the Obama campaign.
Obama is ahead in the polls, but are the polls
a realistic reflection of what will actually happen
in the voting booth? Obama is outspending McCain
3 to one ... He has 90% of the media in his pocket
... he has 98% of the black vote ... he has voter fraud
on his side, with groups like Acorn ... and yet the
election is still close. So far, all the conclusions by all the
pundits are totally based upon POLLS. Not a single actual vote
has been cast yet. Obama supporters gush at how
well their man has done in the debates, which proves
once again that Obama is a good debater and a good
speaker. It doesn't say anything about his character,
judgement, or what kind of a leader he would be.
I still would rather trust a man who would not sell out
his fellow prisoners, even during 5 years of torture,
than to trust a man who betrayed a 20 year friendship,
for personal ambition. And ... regarding this election,
until people actually vote ... it ain't over till it's over
