Fair enough!

OBAMA ONLY CAUTIONED TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING CRITIZED FOR THE COMMENT NOW. IF OBAMA TRULY RESPECTED MCCAIN HE WOULD HAVE A MADE A RETRACTION IMMEDIATELY. WHAT A JERK OBAMA IS AND HIS STAFFERS.

Like most of us, Obama's surrogates don't know what Obama stands for. Everyone has to wait until the puppet has his strings pulled.

And what, exactly, are Obama's skills?

Barack Obama,
This is the act of a "typical lawyer person" attempting to distance themselves from what is said by people closely affiliated with their campaign. The fact is if one of your surrogates screws up that person needs to be publicly denounced and removed from your campaign. That is our expectation for good clean government. This slick manuevering will not do the trick.
=======================================
Obama, does he even have a spine?
=======================================

The only UNITY i see in Obama's campaign is in the way they attack everyone that doesn't support their views or campaign....How sad that is coming from the campaign of hope and change. Obama how about you tell your supporter Jimmy Carter not to meet with Hamas? STOP DECEIVING THE VOTERS OBAMA. EVERY THING ABOUT YOU STAND FOR LIES LIES AND MORE LIES, in your words A CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN? NO NO NO.

Obama just hasn't read that part about the buck stopping at the top. Better shoot his surrogate than accept responsibility of what that surrogate said.

What a snake!

Oh, haters.

He didn't have to say anything and just leave it as is.

He definitely did more than I would have done with regards to a Bush Clone who's going to lose to either a woman or a biracial man.

What a loser.

Common Sense

Some people to choose to believe. Others choose to ignore. Your belief seems pretty clear.

Aston,

He's going to be your next President, whether you're smiling or whining.

That's what the true belief is.......Shutting down you whiners.

Ready for some hoops in the White House?

Common Sense, thank you for making sense of the non sense being put out by WestCoastMessager=S and all HillLovers, Hill the Bosnian General, and good friend of McCain will have never presnetd their apologies or asked for caution from their surrogates as proudly done by Obama. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

S -

Obama's skills are pretty obvious to me: he is very intelligent, is a good writer, and has a good grasp of the issues, he understands what messages resonate with voters and does a good job of delivering them, and he has run a very efficient, very effective campaign.

And Hillary's skills would be . . . .

"it was an insult to the men and women serving in America's military"

So?

Have you noticed...for a candidate who claims to be a lover and a unifier Obama sure has a lot of haters on his team. Hmmmmm.

For the Record.......

For McCain supporters who think he will win the General Election against Barack Obama, the gullibility is expected, but not a surpise. Let me tell you why.

McCain doesn't have full support from the Neanderthal Republican Base. You know, the angry warmongers?

McCain doesn't have full support from those independents after he dumbly stated that he fully supports Bush's Tax cuts and making them permanent after opposing them.

If you think American will continue down the road of demise while the citizens of this country sit idly by and watch, I would suggest a mental evaluation, QUICK!

It's funny to see those who made fun of HOPE are now hoping the bejesus out of everything in WISHING he could become President.

Even his own party doesn't think he can win. Are you that gullible? Obviously so.

So far, the question of Obama's skills seem to be centered around his speaking abilities. One included intelligence but his ineptitude in controlling his surrogates negates that argument.

So, other than being a good Baser, what are his skills beyond consistently being 'present'?

This coming from the man who stopped at nothing to throw Geraldone Ferraro under the bus. Nonsense and garbage.

Here we are again blaming Obama for something he didn't say. If we blamed Hillary ever time one of her "people" said anything negative about one of the candidates she'd be apologizing the rest of the campaign.

It's gotten to the level of absurd, everyone having to apologize for everything, although I do like Obama's approach to be respectful of one's opponents. A nice change of pace...

The way Obama seems to inspire his supporters to demonize his opponents is fascinating. Again, it's like a cult. If you question or somehow are perceived to stand in the way of our messiah you are evil, you are a monster like Hillary, you are a non-human killer like McCain. His telling his supporters to tone it down sounds kind of like Jim Jones cautioning his followers to put on the right face, we've got them fooled, let's not blow it now.
