Georgia, you are so right. Yes, get the popcorn ready because it's time for America to wake up.

The last seven and a half years have been a nightmare and it's now time to wake up and join the parade to get this country back on track just as it was when Bill Clinton was the president.

We saw what happened when George H. and George W. were president. They certainly did not earn their pay. McCain will bring the same as what we've experienced during the Bushs' administrations. Hopefully both conventions will surprise us all and have different people representing their Party but that's not likely going to happen.

Really?
I thought you said she ran dirty Washington Politic, kitchen sink....
Is there any altzheimer disease here?

Let's see, today Obama jumped the administration for turning vets into guinea pigs. Anyone here ever got a shot or pill from the doc and didn't get a full run down of all the possible side effects?.....of course every one of us at some time or other. But now lets turn the page and Obama jumps the administration again, this time over gitmo. Seems he's suffering from the warm fuzzies after 7 years without an attack under GW's "unconstitutional" security blanket. So now he advocates change, after all his election race is all about change. I ask you all this, If he is wrong, what does that make us?.........dead guinea pigs?

Now, I really believe he begged SDs to endorse him.
Imagine even to Bill?
After he claimed Bill was racist with his "fairy tale" comment?

The character of John McCain:

The presumptive GOP nominee is a former Navy pilot whose plane was taken down during a raid over Hanoi, was treated as somewhat of a prize at the time since his father was a renowned admiral. However, McCain refused to take advantage of his pedigree to be released from prison ahead of his fellow captors.

McCain, who could have easily been released early from a Hanoi prison refused. He was an American and would not put himself before his fellow American prisnoners. This is how I see John McCain when it comes to being the President of the United States. He will never put anyone above his America. McCain is a true war hero. Now, how many wars has Obama been in? Has he ever seen fighting on the front lines? Does he know how it feels to be a prisoner for five years, not knowing if you will be alive to see the next day? I don't think so. Obama, go back to Chicago. We need a true American for President and that person is John McCain!

Now Obama is saying that Clinton was an outstanding president. Obama is a puppet and will prove to be an ineffective president. But blacks will be happty taht they will have their forst president and after all that is all that matters

I don't see any of his supporters here.
What are they going to say about their nominee to be president asked Bill Clinton for governing?

DavidfromTexas:

Bush went AWOL! He is a coward and always will be a coward, But Im sure you voted for him!

Obama is YOUNG we have had no real wars where Obama would be needed to fight. Age makes a big difference, ya know!

Just ask John Kerry, Bill Richardson to help you in governing.

Til Tuesday.... what the hell???? That was totally uncalled for.

The number zero times anything above or below it is still a zero. When added to any number, that number never move. When any number divide it, it will throw "division by zero" error. Zero cannot unify or be unified. Zero in experience, zero in truth, zero in strength and conviction. zero in respect and pride for country (only after getting a million of votes).

That's why I'll be voting for McCain, even with Hillary and Bill's support for Obama, at political gunpoint.

I'm saddened by the tone of these comments. So many factoids. It seems there's an urge to drown us in extremeties and profanities.

I challenge all of you (who have commented) to read something you wrote, and write a new comment to replace it with something more level-headed. No misquotes, no polemical firestorms, just raise the questions you want to raise and see if they get answered.

For example, what does it mean ("country voter" above) when you ask us to take the phrase "zero experience", and give it real mathematical meaning? If it's an exaggeration, that's one thing, but then it's not truly zero, and you can't make all these dramatic metaphors about a "divide by zero" error.

You can't say that 15 years of hard-core inner city activism, and extraordinary civil rights accomplishments, in the city of Chicago is zero experience. And you also have to admit that he has the same amount of experience as several historic presidents. Now we can disagree on the rest, but why are you being such a flame-thrower? We don't need no haters, man..we need political dialogue.

And what is this about the DNC "selecting" Obama? Can you cite some sources here? He won by the rules that were established before the primaries started? Granted there may have been half-way good reasons to change the rules mid-way through, but how is that a selection, just because they stuck with the rules?

I'm not an Obama fan, really I'm not. I'm just sickened by the hasty, in-your-face, no-accountability dialogue.

This blog reminds me of Penn station at 2 am.

Hey "Wiz" -- your notion that W.'s administration made us safe because there were no attacks on our soil is misguided. Al Queda only attacks about every 8 years in one place...they spread themselves around. You're missing the bigger picture.

The enemies in the war on terror have attacked a hundred of the allies we purport to be protecting. They've won all the strategic victories they need to recruit 10-times as many followers in the coming decade compared to the last. The Taliban is back and stronger than ever in Afganistan. Al Qaeda is in Iraq, where they never were before. 1000s more victims of terrorism in England, Spain, Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia, India -- and in every place that declared themselves on W.'s side.

I'm not even saying W hasn't won any victories in this war. Sure lives have been saved and battles have been won. But it's hard not to see, if you look with clear eyes, that the war is being lost.

I can't believe the Internet is crawling with such ignorance. Obama is being described as a sell-out when he's done nothing but attract small donations from thinking Americans. He's being described as a flip-flopper because of decisions that he's changed in as sincere, and as open, transparent, a way as any politician ever has...explaining his reasoning and revealing the money-trail without posture or rhetoric. He's being described as a speechifier, when he's as much a policy wonk, and as specific and clear-minded, as any Republican or Democrat of the last 20 years.

Will you people do us all a favor and get your news from some new sources? Stop choosing all the rags that make you feel good about your existing opinions, and start looking more carefully into some of the claims that you've been parroting around. Obama's not a God, he's just a guy with some clear ideas (even if you don't like them) and a lot of energy and a semblance of sincerity (even if you doubt it). Vote against him or for him, but make your choice based on substance, not hype.

When I said "same amount of experience as *some* former presidents" I meant that there have been some presidents with the same (small) amount of experience. I'm saying that experience isn't necessarily what makes a successful presidency. Bill Clinton and J.F. Kennedy are the examples I'm thinking of. George Washington would also be worth mentioning, though I know some of you will laugh at that.

Someone described Obama as going to a "racist" church... don't believe the hype.

He went to a leftist church that had some radical preachers in it. But it's nothing you don't hear every day at Universities. If you don't think there's an imperialist, racist history in this country, that's worth criticizing, and if you don't think there isn't some danger of repeating that history in the future, then you haven't been paying attention.

"God Damn America" was quoted from within a speech that challenged people to create a better one. It was a stupid speech. But it wasn't racist. The latest ridicule that church has attracted was toward one of its white preachers -- just as left-wing but obviously this church is attended by blacks and whites who want to see a left-leaning version of Christianity.

Let's get off our high horses and look back at what Obama really says, and what he proposes to do with this country. Point your critical voices in the direction of something worth arguing about, for a change. Like health care, education, foreign policy...

Jeez.

Benjamin Carson,

Zero is not an exaggeration, it's a mathematical metaphor for Obama's inexperience, hypocrisy, lies or deception.
