Another Major Obama Speech..(yawn)
He is just going to copy Hillary and switch around a few points. He is pandering for the North Carolina vote I see. I'll be glad when he is back in the Senate, he is just really annoying with all his pontifications.

Another Obama Speech.. Right on target, to the point, honest and straightforward. If you think the last 7.5 years have gone well, you should vote for McMore-War who needs to take economics 101, otherwise vote Obama in 2008!!!

LOL

He is out to destroy the nation. Now he is going to crash all the banks.

Bankrupt the country.

Might be part of his over all plan.

I think by the time anyone one gets in office, the housing crisis will be done.

He has proven himself worthless as a senator, why would anyone even consider him for president. Unless they were brainwashed by his speeches.

if you want to address someone copying another's ideas, Obama sent a letter a year ago to the Fed Reserve - Clinton contacted them just last week with the same type of request he made last year. Seems like Clinton has trouble with her credibility on more things than just Bosnia.

bernadette, I thought I was the only one who remember that year old request.
He also did a speechcbased on it back then.

It's the Economy STUPID! Nobody knows less about the economy than McCain. He even said so. No wonder he had no ideas in his speech. Obama 2008!

he was giving less than 1% to charity till he planned to run for president. He gave $3000 to black-caucus and deducted as a tax-deductible which is illegal. Guy does not know this basic thing wants to run for US president.

Guy tried to cheat IRS, is talking about economy.

No party has ever held onto the white house in an election year that had a recession. Guess what, this is a recession. It's a sure bet President Obama in Jan. 2009.

Obama has not has an original idea on the economy in his entire life. He is McCain lite. Without the advice of his advisers he wouldn't have a clue. Let's leave the economy to Hillary. For 8 years we had the most prosperous times in a 60 year history with the Clinton Presidency. Hillary can bring us back to those prosperous times. Obama can't.

I realize this is a touchy subject but enough with the name-calling already.

It's making me wonder if we've got 10 year olds making posts on these blogs.

Folks, please learn to communicate properly, or follow some age-old advice, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, be quiet and just listen.'

It is estimated that Medicare will be exhausted by 2019. Does Obama want to hasten that with massive spending now at the expense of the future? During the 1980's housing crunch, where was the bail-out? Obama knows quite well that the Federal Government will NOT bail out home flippers, speculators, people who misstated their incomes, etc. This is just nice-sounding promises now that he does not have to keep later... just like his rhetoric on NAFTA.

He is targeting his base: the under 40 optimistic bunch who will either pay through nose in twenty years or have to live without Medicare.

Pleasing assurances, but more empty words…

yomama, you have it all wrong. What we need is some responsibility in the white house, something we have not have in the last 7.5 years.

another obama "major speech" - another opportunity for the media to give him many hours of free air time, including the standard fawning, shivering up the leg, proclaiming him the most knowledgeable on economics, ever, etc.

another opportunity for him to try to distract the public from his anti-americanism.

and, of course, yet another opportunity for him to put out other people's proposals as his own.

yawn.

Obama tried to cheat IRS by giving $3000 to black-caucus and deducted as a tax-deductible which is illegal. He has no right to talk about talking about economy.

Yes, another Obama speech. After all, it is a campaign, and candidates give, um, speeches. It just happens that Obama is better at it ... and has the better policies to talk about.

What strikes me as funny is Obama's claim to tell Americans what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Yet, this is exactly what he rails against Mccain for doing. Mccain is 100% right, the govt should not bail out irresponsible lenders and borrowers, period. It's time to end the entitlement mentality and you're not going to get this from Obama. He talks out of both sides of his mouth - he's apparently for free markets working, yet wants govt to bail out irresponsibliity on both sides of the housing issue. He's for personal responsibility, but advocates affirmative action and blames the rich for the poors plight. Medicare is going bankrupt in 2019, yet he wants to put additional pressure on the system by moving towards a single payer healthcare plan. Obama is a nice talking walking contradition, and McCain just proved it with his speech. Obama wants the govt to fix everything that ails everybody, and in a time of economic downturn, that is a recipe for disaster. McCain didn't pander, and I think that startles both dem canddiates.

Jack, I wonder what you'll do when Obama loses in a landslide to McCain if he is the nominee, which I highly doubt. The super delegates would have ALL already committed to Obama if he really is the chosen one. What are they waiting for? Why are they all stalling?

Let's go the route of professional sports: 'Coca Cola's United States of America' or... America - brought to you by Visa.

Somebody please take the mike away from this clown. I've heard his canned speeches. He's an empty suit.
======================================
OBAMA is a compromiser
OBAMA wants to disenfranchise Fl & Mi
OBAMA paid $$$$$ to hateful Wright
======================================

Jack Tracy,
I suppose your argument is then that the Obama campaign of rascism, hatred. and voter disenfrachisement IS working?
======================================
OBAMA is a compromiser
OBAMA wants to disenfranchise Fl & Mi
OBAMA paid $$$$$ to hateful Wright
======================================

So who gave him his talking points, since he knows nothing about the economy.

I have no doubt that I will be happy with Obama's economic plan he talks about tomorrow , as I am also with Clintons. What irks me though is the Obama camp the other day attacking Clinton on her sub-prime housing economic plan by stating Clinton was a hypocrite because has taken contributions from the sub-prime mortgage lending industry. That's fine, but what his camp failed to mention is that Obama himself has taken $1.18 million dollars from the sub-prime lending industry and that his contributions from issuers of sub-prime loans matches if not surpasses Clinton.
This type of misrepresention of the facts bothers me alot more than Clinton's Bosnia embellishment. I also would not call this clean or new politics. This isn't the first time he has done this he's misrepresented facts about the bill he wrote in Illinois pertaining to the radioactive leaks of his corporate funder Exelon, his positions on NAFTA and the Kyle-Lieberman vote.

It's just so intelligent of all you who are criticizing Senator Obama's speech, BEFORE he even gives it. NOT! He is the ONLY candidate to date who has made any substantive speeches, and the only candidate who presents a viable alternative to economic and cultural implosion, and the only candidate who has a vision grounded in the plight of the working class American--and you don't even want to listen, b/c you're so ate up with demagoguery and the crap that passes for government that is taking America down for the count. Listen first, and then if you take exception with what he has to say, feel free to say so--and no one is going to make you vote for him if you don't agree that he represents your interests. Fair enough. But this country has some serious work ahead if it is going to survive, and everyone here should be able to agree on that much, and be willing to do their part in being a part of the solution, not a part of the problem. National dialogue begins with listening; then democracy can take root in this part of the world.

Isn't it great that Hillary can be on the front end of economy and mortgage loan solutions. That way, Obama can just soundbite them, and oh my, what wonderful and creative ideas he has to fix our problems. What a genius!

He makes John McCain look so inept. I guess someone is working on his major economic recovery speech for tomorrow. He plans to give us his studied details. Thanks, Hillary!

Obama Needs some time to get his personal problems in order, professional help can help him there. Then he needs to grow up and live in the present.

Maybe then he can tell the truth, stop flip-flopping.

This guy has lied so many times, I doubt if he can keep track of it all.

Everybody knows John McCain's economic plan: "More WAR, more WAR, more WAR!!!" We're gonna pay money to bomb 'em and pay even more money to rebuild 'em!" "The economy overseas where our troops will be stationed will BOOM for hundreds of years!---Oh, you meant the US economy... uh, WAR--Al-Quaeda, Hussein, Bin Laden... whatever!" "Don't bother me, you little jerk! I've got another WAR to start with that punk from Iran!" I for one, will choose sanity; And I will choose NOT to vote for "Insane McCain!!!"

At least Senator Obama is criticizing McCain!

I've about had it with the Clinton lovefest with John McCain! Maybe he'll pick her as VP!!!

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

If you liked the last 7.5 years, you will vote for McCain.

Tim i believe if your income in a year is over 1.5 million you don't do your taxes for yourself, and being a politician under scrutiny you better give it to "people" to do it for you so dig it and get back at us to tell us he was trying to cheat the IRS and he is banned from dnating his money to the Black Caucus, like it was any illegal organization or a beseless one.

Ugh... I'm so glad that we're going to bail out lenders stupid enough to sign for mortgages that they cannot afford. As someone who plays by the rules and whose taxes will subsidize this bailout, it ###### me off. I've only been out of school for four years and I don't have a house/ condo because I cannot afford one on my salary. However, people like me who make good financial decisions and play by the rules are getting screwed while those who made stupid financial decisions are getting to keep their homes.

Good for him...but something far mor sinister is happening.

I know this will not be popular for Obama supporters....but democrats have to unite to keep Democracy alive.

The evil genius Karl Rove is doing it again....please please read.:- We all have to unite for the good of the party


Why is the media soft on Obama?

Because corperate america (media included) want Obama to win the nomination. He is a pawn for them to squash...he won't even see it coming.
Why else did Karl Rove give advice to Obama on how to win against Clinton

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/dee0a6e8-a109-11dc-...

Karl Rove knew from the beggining if he could keep the democrats at bay ...spend all their money and hopeflly split the party base... BINGO

Rove did get lucky when moveon,org backed Obama over Hillary after the Iowa caucus. Money and supporters moved in.

Obviously he knew about Obamas church... the crazy evangelicals now call Obama the Anti Christ.

McCain dosn't even need to worry about "his base" any more...just keep whispering Jerimiah and they are Roves to manipulate.

Now McCain can choose a moderate as his running mate. Someone like lieberman to pull the independents over. They will think him wise for not taking on a Huckabee look alike.
...
Why is Rezco. not in the media yet .....simple .they don't need that card yet.

Rove (and media) knows that Hillary is starting to lead.
Back off time. That can come later.

Why do you think the media are being sweet on Obama....they have enough to get the evangelicals mad at him and enough to split of the Democratic party.

Clever wouldn't you say.

I worry that if the neocons get in this time.....it might be the last time for a democratic election.

We need someone that is as sly and manipulating as Rove to come on board

At least Senator Obama is criticizing McCain!

I've about had it with the Clinton lovefest with John McCain! Maybe he'll pick her as VP!!!

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

Your so right thank you
I hope and pray that the super delegates have been listening to her and billy boy pumping up McCain

McCain was joking about the economy not
being his strong suit!
My problem is that Obama was serious!
Is he proposing a welfare program for
people who bought homes they knew they
couldn't afford? Compassion yes.
Some help in requring the lending
institutions to extend some payment deadlines and lower monthy payments yes!
But a bailout No!
This type of personal fiscal
irresponsibility cannot be enabled!
If I take a chance on a penny stock and blow my life savings on it, will the
federal government bail me out if I lose
all of the money?
Add Obama's proposed bailout to his
universal healthcare proposal and you
him spending billions and billions of dollars on those two proposals alone!
Where is he going to get the money?
With proposals like these taxs won't just go up for the "Rich" but for everyone else! Just what we need with the price of gas going to $4 a gallon this summer! No thanks, I'll take McCain!

Polosi and teddy are his spokes people. He dosen't know how to speak for himself, because he lies so much.

Home owners need to check the headlines every day to make sure they’re not dealing with a crooked lender who will sell their loans out from under them.
I found this new site which filters home mortgage headlines and other headlines about consumer fraud, defective drugs and product recalls. I can even embed a particular subject’s RSS feed on my homepage and blog.
