I believe in Biden.

Michelle? The angry and mean woman? Not a chance.

If I have to hear this "woe-is-me" story about Obama being raised by a single mother, blah, blah, I will scream! What a liar, this Michele, how dare she claim that, when there are true struggling families out there! The Obamas will use anyone and anything to get what they want!

Let's get this straight: Obama's mother married an oil executive and moved to Indonesia. Got that? Oil executive....ie...rich. Obama then came back to Hawaii, to be raised by rich grandparents, and went to the most exclusive school in Hawaii.

everybody knows this by now, so the fact that she tells bold faced lies is both daring and stupid. What is wrong with her? And what is wrong with the people who still believe her?

obama had a privleged life, he is an elitist, and completely out of touch with the common man and woman.

It's the facts; search the truth.

LOVE HILLARY, LIKE BIDEN, HATE THE OBAMAS FOR WHITE HOUSE....BOZO JUST NOT WRIGHT FOR THE JOB

So Biden and Barak came from families who had to struggle, are they promising that if they are elected no one will ever have to struggle? Look at how the struggles of the Bidens and Obamas have paid off for them.
Ups and downs are part of life and anyone promising otherwise is simply not being truthful.

WORDS JUST WORDS. THE HEAVENS WILL OPEN, THE MESSIAH WILL APPEAR, AND WHAMMO, WE'LL HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, EQUAL PAY, AND WOMEN WILL BE FOREVER UPLIFTED.

SPARE THE RHETORIC FOR SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS NONSENSE.

THEY'RE REALLY CLINGING TO THOSE SKIRTS B/C THEY ARE LOSING THIS RACE.

AND I'M A REGISTERED DEM, HE'LL NEVER GET MY VOTE.

NO HILLARY, NO VOTE.

HILLARY 2012

Michelle is not an angry or mean woman. She is a strong and compassionate woman. Her family is the most important priority in her life. She loves her husband and children. She is intelligent and beautiful. If you want angry and mean you can find it in the McCain family.

dear i am respect every one you are my friend but when I find out you turn around play around all my Kids allover the World that Danger that all my Kids get Hurt I lost all my life no place to live next a minute lost my wonder full wife rest my life i never find again I will die for all my Kids care and want them have good Future then they can handle own they country

When did class warfare become part of the process for rich political candidates?
When did struggling parents become a prerequisite? What a load.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

decentAmerican..there you go again spouting out complete lies. You, my friend, are an idiot.

jennie....what pray tell makes Michelle so compassionate.
Has she travelled around the world for charities (Operation Smile) and given more than 1% of their income to charities aside from Trinity church? McCains have given millions over the years and done more in any one year than Obamas in their lifetime...as they should.

Michelle is not an angry or mean woman. She is a strong and compassionate woman.

Oh, yeah? If she is not angry, she would have not said that American is a darn mean country. If she is not mean, she would have not said she had not been proud of her country in her adult life.

It's strong alright, strongly mean and angry, but not compassionate.

DLM...I didn't realize that you have to travel around the world to be compasionate. Haven't you ever heard the saying "Charity begins at home"? Michelle Obama made the decision to stay and help the people in the neighborhood she grew up in. She worked for the non-profit group "Project Allies" to help young people. She also founded a service organization at University of Chicago to help the people in the south side of Chicago. The money her and Barack have is the money they earned themselves. They donate more money to charity than most Americans. They have only recently paid off their school loans. Cindy McCain was born into a wealthy family. She's not donating money she earned. She's donating Daddy's money.

factcheck...she said people in politics are mean. All the smart Republicans must be off tonight.

jennie,

Two Harvard lawyers gave only $1050 combined charity donations, to their Trinity Church, until the phony was planning on a run for the pres.

How compassionate are they to their beloved "neighborhood she grew up in?"

Action is more persuasive than "words".

jennie,

Talks check "charity". U Chicago hospital invested in Michelle, immediately after her husband went to the US Senate, by promoting her to be a VP, and increasing her salary by 260% to > $315,000 per year. In return, 0-bama earmarked a cool $1M for the hospital, $1M your money, for which the hospital had a nice return of 513% return in profit.

It's not sure what you'd call this deal.

Obama had a scholarship to Punahou as far as I know. The right wing nuts are so busy digging up dirt it is pathetic. I got an email from Gigrich today that said Obama voted to kill babies. Day before yesterday I got a hate Muslims, hate Obama poster. For Gods sake people, isn't it possible to find some better ground or should we all start talking about incest among white supremicists and Republicans who have had affairs, abortions or used birth control? This trash talk is no way to give a future to our children. We demean the very concepts upon which our country is based. If ups and downs are a part of life, why do we hear about the Hanoi Hilton 24/7? Because ups and downs and how you handle them matter. Give it a rest - everyone has their history and the hatred we see against Obama seems to come mostly from people who are jealous of anyone elses experience because they haven't come to love their own upbringing. At ease, guys. Look in a mirror. Love yourselves and stop being so creepy. Go Obama.

jennie -- how DARE you call me a liar, when you have nothing to support your claims! What part of what i said was a lie? Did Obama's mother not marry an oil executive? Did they not live in Indonesia? Did Obama not attend the most exclusive school in Hawaii?

Where it the lie? I find it horrific and low that Obama supporters will try to twist anything negative against their messiah.

As for Michele, she came from a middle class background. She was on the board of U of Chicago hosptials, making 6 figures for a part time job, while the hospital made hundreds of millions, and many in her husband's district went without healthcare.

Would you like to call that a lie too? Check the facts, it's true.

As for Cindy McCain, her father barely finsihed high school, went to SERVE HIS COUNTRY in the war, and came back, and built his business from scratch. True American dream. ARe you saying that his children should not partake of their father's success? They didn't win the money, they earned it. Why is that bad?

This is all true, and I dare you to dispute it. The fact that your love for Obama is so obsessive that you obscure the truth, makes you the real idiot.

For goodness sakes, what is happening to America?

Why do McCain supporters like to engage in lies and smears against Obama? Nobody is buying them.

Indicate the "lie" Keith, and then show proof that it is, or else you have no credibility.

it is not a "smear" if it is true.

The Hospital Michelle works for --

Sen. Barack Obama's wife and three close advisers (one of them is Axlerod) have been involved with a program at the University of Chicago Medical Center that steers patients who don't have private insurance -- primarily poor, black people -- to other health care facilities.

This is known as patient dumping --

jennie,

You can, of course, describe the deal entire differently. Michelle make an innovative discovery to get rid of patients who have no insurance from her neighborhood out of the emergency room, saving the hospital millions of dollars. Rewarding her success, the "honorable" freshman Senator from Illinois directed tax payers' dollars to the hospital to further promote her success.

Only problem is that those poor patients are not happy, but who cares. They are also poor and bitter any way.

Fact Check

Michelle Obama was a smart kid who was dominating every course in her class at Havard. Same with Obama. Michelle worked her way up the ladder to be VP of Chocago hospital.

What about Cindy and John McCain?
Cindy inherited $100m from her elitist parent.
John McCain had an affirmative action in the military because of his father even though he finished among the bottom six in a class of 900 students.

Bottomline they are so loaded that they are out of touch with the ordinary American. No wonder they dont know how many houses they have.

I guess you hate the hard work and intelligence of the Obamas.

Obama keep mentioning Joe Biden's Catholic upbringing. Guess that's why he was chastized today by a Bishop of the Catholic Church for his pro-abortion stance.

He carries a Rosary in his pocket... he is going to need it.

Biden is pathetic. I saw him sneer and snarl at Alberto Gonzales. I didn't know who he was but now that I do, there is no way I would ever vote for Obama, which I had planned to do, until along comes this man that was so very, very ugly. Well, all I can say is that he will get some of his own medicine before this is all over. I would hope that people will see him for what he is. Caroline Kennedy should go home and spend her millions and Ted Kennedy needs to be in the bed. I am through, totally through, with the Democrats. They really are very, very ugly.

Obama's mother did not marry an oil executive. He was an oil company worker..big difference. They lived in a small house in a lower class Indonesia neighborhood. Obama went to high school and college on scholarships and for law school he took out student loans. Michelle is a Harvard law school graduate. Her salary is no different than most other Ivy League law school graduates.
You might want to read up on Cindy McCain's father. Apparently he was involved in some illegal activities with his beer distribution when he first started out.
There is no way the McCains can stand up at the Republican convention and talk about values.

Reasons why Change is inevitable
========================================

1. Bush has sinked America to its lowest since WW2.

2. Republicans selected a 71 year old who makes all the gaffes and is out of touch with Americans(elitists).

3. Republicans also selected a candidate who has 26 years of experience but doesn`t have the judgment to be commander in chief.

4. He is more of the same failed policies, flip flops and does not have any new ideas.

5. Bush and Chenney have forced us into war for oil in Iraq.

Obama 08

krista -- look into the history of Cindy McCain's father, who fought for this country in the war (like McCain, and his father, and grandfather), so you would have the freedom to criticize them now. Look into this history, of his hard work and service to this country. How dare you call him elitist to serve your Obama.

And Michele? She got affirmative action to get into college, then turned around and wrote a racist thesis, criticizing the program that got her to where she was. Bitter, vindictive, ugly woman, inside and out.

By the way, Michele also is quoted as saying that she is not sure she would have voted for Hillary if Hillary were the nominee. I could only hope that Hillary would return the favor tonight. Unfortunately, she has too much integrity to do that.

Michele Obama, like her husband, is a fraud and actress, who will do anything to garner votes.

krista,

Facts sometimes hurt; words often do not matter, particularly coming out of Zero-bama and supporters' mouths.

Michelle worked her way up the ladder??? How convenient the ladder was laid as soon as her husband became US Senator, and an increase of 260% in salary. The good-intentioned, "honorable" freshman Senator immediately rewarded the employer who gave his wife raise with a cool 1 million tax payers' dollars.

I did not know inheritance has become a crime in Zero-bama supporter's book.

LOL! Jennie, i have read up on the Obamas, and the McCains. Obama had a privileged childhood. He has not gone through what the majority of Americans have gone through, like John McCain growing up.

you are drowning in your own lies. I'd ordinarily throw out a life raft, but given your firm intent on spreading deceit and lies, I'd think the world would be a better place if I didn't.

INdecentAmerican...you are clueless. You appear to be drowning in the Republican KoolAid. Good luck to you.

Cindy McCain's father came back from WWII and borrowed $10,000. With hard work and American know-how he turned this into his legacy.

I don't hear the Democrats calling the Kennedy's elitists --- and they inherited all their money and homes in Boston and Martha's vineyard. Double standard! And I don't think McCain drove off a bridge, killed an young woman and then waited until morning to report it.

Cindy McCain does charitable works all over the world to improve childrens lives, while Michelle is busy receiving salary increases due to earmarks from her husband.

How much money did Obama donate from the profits from his books to charity? That would be close to "zero". They made close to $4M last year -- their tax records show they donating less than 1% of their salary.

Biden was acting like a woman today. Boo Hoo. He has a sensitive side.

This is pathetic... McCain doesn't know the difference between Sunni and Shia in Iraq, so his supporters are forced to lie and smear a decent hardworking American woman like Michelle Obama. Y'all are desperate, grabbing at straws and it shows.

The Republican Party has been running this country for the last 8 years and we are all worse off for it; Bush in his incompetence has allowed 9/11 to happen, has allowed Iran to make progress towards nuclear weapons for 8 years, has gotten thousands of our soldiers killed in Iraq and if he had his way, would get thousands more killed in a pointless war against Iran.

Face it - Republicans, and that includes the trolling liars who claim they supported Hillary Clinton but will now go McCain - Republicans cannot run on their records and policies because bitter experience has shown them to be an abysmal failure.

Decent American

McCain was among the slowest students in his class and this is a fact. He got affirmative action because of his father. Thats why he destroyed $5m worth of fighter jets and the USS Forrestal because he wasnt qualified to fly them.

Why are you denying the fact that McCain and Cindy`s parents were rich elitists. Didnt she inherit and beer distributor and $100m.

Michelle and Barrack were topping their class in all their courses. Chair of havard law review and VP of Chicago hospital. Very intelligent people and you know that.

Obama`s grandfather fought in WW2 and liberated Jews at Buchenwald Concentration Camp.

Is there a debate for candidate spouses?

Michelle the Havard lawyer will floor cindy McCain anytime, anywhere and on any topic and you know it.

President Bush will go down in history as one of the all time great presidents of this country. He has character, morality and has kept this country safe. God Bless Presidet Bush again and again and I am sure he will in the days to come. With what we have to choose from right now, we could only hope that President Bush oould run again. We need a man that says what he means and means what he says. Good luck Preisent and Mrs. Bush as you leave our country safer and we are all thankful to you.

If Obama want to give everyone a "handout" -- let him use his money. Don't use my tax dollars.

McCain simply does not have the judgment to be commander in chief. Being a POW is no qualification neither. Even Rev Wright fought in Vietnam.

Obama 08= Superir judgment.

Do the Democrats have any rich elitists ....

The Kennedy's
John Kerry
Nancy Pelosi

They are all millionaires several times over and didn't work for their money --- it was inherited.

I've yet to see a single post discussing policy - you know, the stuff that actually matters for our future...our kids futures?

Can we move past the personal attacks and take a good hard look at the issues we face?

Gracie

``If Obama want to give everyone a "handout" -- let him use his money. Don't use my tax dollars.``
========================================

I`d rather Bush and McCain dont use my tax dollars to bomb innocent Iraqis and Iranians and to help defence contractors to get rich.

Time to school you neo cons.

My buddy just yesterday heard about Ayers (per recent Obama ad) AND IS DISCUSTED. I know that he was on the fence before, BUT NOBAMA NOW. The Obama campaign was stupid to bring up Ayers again. I had not forgotten, but I appreciate the reminder - thanx.

Michelle Obama will support women-- as long as they're not white and not running for President.

Krista.

Canadians - keep out of this. DEFENCE?

How phony - the same person who said "if you can't run your own house how will your run the white house?".

Sorry Michelle, America has seen right through your version 2.0 makeover... literally a makeover with the soft hair and all that...

bye bye Obamas

McCain 08
Hillary 12

Somebody tell McCain we are in a new era where smart leaders with fresh ideas are needed.

Obama 08 = Judgment over experienced.

Manitu

``Krista.

Canadians - keep out of this. DEFENCE?``
========================================

Ain`t Americans allowed to live in Canada? I am going to vote here for sure so you McCain supporters dont impose a wrong leader on me.

Michelle Obama's claim that electing the O to the white house will fulfill Dr. King's dream is flat out wrong... ONLY ELECTING MCCAIN WILL FULFILL Dr. KING's dream..

"Don't judge a person by the color of their skin" - Obama is the Dem nomineee because majority whites didn't judge him by the color of his skin

"But judge them by the content of their character" - by this standard McCain is the obvious choice...

Hence only a McCain victory will fulfill Dr. King's dream...

McCain 08
Hillary 12

Janet Napolitano doesn't listen to her Arizona constituency. Arizona was solidly behind Hillary when she endorsed Obama. Bill "Bad Rug" Richardson did the same in New Mexico. Anyone else have a problem with politicians who claim to represent those who elected them only to serve their own agendas instead?

Kenny, Obama=superir {sic} judgment?
Like what?
Voting "oops" several times during his tenure in the Senate? Oh, and don't forget his 130 "present" votes.
Give me some substance here to back up your claim. He is bashing "old politics". Okay, I'll take that. But with all his posturing about "Change" and "Hope", how come he has old Madelein Albright giving him advice on foreign policy, and Paul O'Neill, a Bush reject, for his economics team?

So, let me get this straight Obama-lovers....you are insulted that there are those Americans living the American dream, who worked hard, like Cindy's dad, to build a successful business, and hand that legacy to his children? So, if you were to work hard, and become successful, you are honestly saying it is a bad thing to hand that over to your children when you pass?

Obama, clearly desperate, is using everything and anything to attack his opponent. When is it a crime to be successful in America? Oh, and DO keep in mind that the Kennedy's are the EPITOME of elitist, and Teddy I am sure got your tears flowing last night (not me).

Obama, not being able to use the race card anymore since he was called out on it, is now using the house card. He is running out of cards. Desperation?

McCain can bring up his POW experience aanytime he wants. He has served his country, he risked his life for people like you. YOU OWE HIM at the very least your respect and gratitude, even if you don't want to vote for him.

As for Michelle and Cindy.....clearly, you are mistaken that they are not running for President. But let's do have them debate on what they have each done to help others. Michelle though will only need 30 seconds to describe her works of charity, as everything else this bitter selfish racist woman has done has been for herself.

krista.

US tax dollars used for bombing innocent civilians in Iraq? "In Baghdad, parks are filled every weekend with families playing and picnicking with their children. That was unthinkable only a year ago..." Source, Deroy Murdock, a black columnist for Scripps Howard, 6/25/08. Iraqi oil production up to 2.54 million barrels/day. GET OVER IT LIBS - THE IRAQ WAR IS OVER AND WE HAVE WON - NO THANKS TO YOU, PELOSI, OBAMA, CLINTON AND ALL THE OTHER DEM LOSERS WHO HAVE BEEN CHEERING FOR US TO LOSE!!!

DID YOU SEE THE IDIOT PUMAs on Hardball?

What a disgrace! Those women are straight-up lunatics, calling Barack a Muslim and spewing other garbage lies they have been fed by the Repuke-licans!

They lost all credibility, as their leaders are just bona fide KOOKS! And to think I thought they might be reasonable, but just misguided women before this...

Take a look:

http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=FVHZHuyVeio

(I had to split the address because apparently ABC doesn't like that site!)

Then the PUMA protest march, WHAT A JOKE! There were only maybe 100-150 PUMAs there. Where were the one MILLION we were promised??

You Hillary PUMA sore losers are about to get sidelined by HILLARY herself in a couple of hours! She wants Obama, and the rest of us want Obama for president as well!

If after tonight if you are still posting your cr*p on these blogs, it is time to start calling you what you are -Republican spies trying to split the Democrat Party!

Because we all know with a candidate like McSenile, that is your only hope of winning in November!!!!

As far as McBush's ads in the last couple of days playing Hillary against Obama... Can you say "BACKFIRE" you Repuke-lican idiots??

Obama/Biden '08!!!!!!!!

Keith.

Obama with fresh ideas? Yeah, right out of the Marxist playbook....fools.

A poster who has to use derogatory adjectives and name calling is surely showing signs of desperation. Gallup today shows McCain ahead, in middle of DEM CONVENTION - and that is not even a likely voter poll.

Again these daily polls mean nothing. Cell phones are the norm these day and how many of these are polled.....none. And you're talking about the popular vote not the electoral vote. I would say the same thing about these polls if Obama was ahead.

Polls DO MEAN SOMETHING in that the dem nominee traditionally needs to come out of the convention with at least a fifteen point lead to overcome a traditional Rep bounce in the fall. Figures not looking good for Obama at this point. Yes, he will get a bounce after convention. Whether it will be enough....?

DON"T WATCH the Convention on CNN, ABC, NBC or FOX or any of the so called networks!

If you want to see the convention without all the stirring of the Hillary pot hype, BS nonsense and commercials every 5 seconds PLEASE WATCH CSPAN.

CSPAN is showing all the speeches and such without the BS!!!

Obama/Biden '08!!!!!!!!

Jennie.

Sounds like you are the one who is angry and mean.

Kenny.

Obama has superior judgement? Lots of chuckles from that one!!!

What pathetic ignorant blather. every world about personality of McCain disinformation regurgitation... Not one single word on this page about policy. Do you people read anything other than the Enquirer?

It's not wonder they've taken your rights away and used you ignorance against all of us. Good luck... These comments speak for a country with no future.

(TYPOS Corrected...jt)

Give me a break!!!!!! Do they think women are that stupid? Obama is behind with women voters, so now Michelle and Biden will support women???? Great. Women will get support...and that means???? O.k. Biden and Michelle are robots who will support women for votes. O.k. now vote for Obama because Biden and Michelle will support women for votes. What?

I'd correct the last typo but the fact is that I'm so frustrated by the quality of the comments that I've lost patience with this process. Doesn't anybody realize the future of our country is at stake here? No matter which of these two politicians is elected the only way anything good is going to come if it is if good people pay attention to what they actually do once they are in office. America is in big trouble; our survival --- both economic and political --- is not guaranteed is a competitive and often threatening world. Maybe it's too late to say this but Wake Up.

#1 Cable news during the convention, ratings out today FOX. That's right, you know why? Majority of Americans are a little right of center and not liberal left like most of the media trying to shove Nobama at us. CNN #2, MSNBC #3. TIME magazine has Bozo on the cover 9 times and McCain 2.
It will be so funny when McCain wins and yet the entire American news media was pushing Bozo though (except FOX)
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

McCain is a misogynist. Women
thinking of voting for him
are low information voters.

Michelle said back in Feb., she didn't know if she could vote for Hillary if she won the nom....WELL SWEETIE - MILLIONS OF US NOT VOTING FOR YOUR HUSBAND!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

Senator Joe Biden claims that the Violence against Women Act is the greatest achievement of his career. As a result of this legislation, the federal government pays states to create laws effectively requiring that innocent men be removed from their homes and families without even an allegation of violence, with no legitimate standards of evidence, when a woman makes a claim that she is afraid.

Elaine Epstein, president of the Massachusetts Bar Association (1999), has said "the facts have become irrelevant... restraining orders are granted to virtually all who apply. Regarding divorce cases, she states "allegations of abuse are now used for tactical advantage". According to Epstein, who is also a former president of the Massachusetts Women’s Bar Association, restraining orders are doled out "like candy" and "in virtually all cases, no notice, meaningful hearing, or impartial weighing of evidence is to be had."

State restraining order laws are starting to fall because they're unconstitutional. The federal law behind them, written by Joe Biden, is likely to fall as well, not because it isn’t popular, but because it is clearly unconstitutional.

Bill....I heard the Bill Clinton remarks too, on FOX, but I don't know if they have that on film....did you see it, hear it, or read it?

DLM you have your numbers wrong. If the percentages are correct than it's less than 1 million.

DLM... FOX has it and showed it tonight.

Thank you, Ted. That is a fact based comment and therefore valuable. The Violence Against Women Act was potentially a very good thing. It is badly needed. Sadly, lack of balance and lack of restraint turned good intentions into bad legislation. There is a lesson in that for all sides in this election. It is not easy to pass wise laws that lead to just outcomes when all laws will be twisted by lawyers toward their clients advantage. Neither party is very good at this. As an ex-husband who has been threatened with the lie of violence, I understand is clearly. That does not change the fact that women need to be protected from abusive thugs. We need to raise awareness of false accusations of spousal assault and child abuse, in ways that do not leave the innocent unprotected. You try to write perfect laws in that situation... Any improvements will be welcomed...jt

Is this a joke?? Joe 'Darth Vader' Biden brought the U.S. the Violence Against Women Act. This law provides no support for men and fathers. It also provokes illegal FEMALE immigrants to allege abuse by thier spouses in order to get green cards. it has fomented a plethora of false allegations resulting in flawed restraining orders and false allegations of domestic violence.

OH YEAH we need Michelle Obama affiliated with the likes of HIM.

www.mediaradar.org

...just got around to readina all of the comments regarding Michelle's POLITICAL speech in behalf of her hubby. Frankly, I thought it was a lot of crap.......shilling her late father...his disabilitie.....how tough it made life for the family. I am not being crass, but their are millions and millions of lives like that in the country...folks do what they have to do because they have to do it....so, Michelle, knock off the pandering....I felt bad for your family, and would request that you also stop shilling out your kids....let them grow up without the circus atmosphere in which you are dragging them, ok. Score for the lady who spoke and shouldn't have anyway but bulldozed her way in thanks to big Barack.....she flunked.

Michelle has convinced her husband not to select Hillary or endorse the Obama girl because she is jelous.

With Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama could've made history - but chose not to do so.

He hogged history. So her speech will likely produce no gain for him, but lay the basis for a lasting resentment at his failure to select her.

Obama is tied with McCain because he can't win the votes of women, especially older women.

Hillary's speech the other night made Obama's chance of winning a lot harder.
