I guess everyone has the right to their opinon. If the KKK is for Obama, why not let them endorse him there selves. Why does these protestors fell the need to represent for them.

He handled it is a extremely Presidential manner.

Kudos to OBAMA

Love it!
Yes, go get him guys! please help to send Obama back to where he belongs!

He offered for them to keep their signs.

Not like the RNC with all the protesters were getting maimed and beaten.

Gotta love FREE SPEECH.

FRODO
just curious ... where does he belong

Its going to be funny when the public finds out they were on the McCain payroll

Obama just sold out the working class by endorsing bailing out the rich today.

What a disgrace.

This is money buying Obama - hedge funds, Frannie connection (Johnson), etc.

Disgrace!

there are some people in America that are voting for Mccain right now tilting their heads to the side, looking like a confused dog.... and going

"huh?"

and scratching their heads.

All kinds of whackos in the world. Looks, from the signs that these are religious wackos from a single church. Just my guess.

THEIR SIGNS WERE PROOF THAT THE GOP WAS BEHIND IT.

THEY MADE NOT 1 bit of sense.

JUST LIKE THE GOP

Maybe they're upset Obama sold his soul to the financial industry to bail them out with the tax payer money.

Why hasn't Obama signed half a trillion dollars to help the middle class and poor - rather then half a trillion FOR THE RICH.

Obama up 5 over McCain in latest Gallup. 49-44. A 10 point switch in just over a week. That's dukakis country.

I guess lyling didnt pay off for ya, eh, McCain? Caught lying, reversals, gaffes, green vp. Geez, they are imploding. Even Karl Rove and the WSJ called McCain for lying. The WSJ called him out for lying again today, and called him un-presidential.. OUCH!

Obama=Bush

Helping the wealthy STAY wealthy

The last 20 AA Republicans left in the United States

JA

again

Mccain Keating deregulation

a trillion dollars

McCain Bush Iraq war

a trillion dollars

Mccain gramm deregulation

a trillion dollars

at what point do we say that a politician who has been somewhere in the midst of the three most expensive blunders/scandals in our nations modern history...

"yeah this guy should not get the keys to the economic engine"

same team
same tactics
same results

throw these bums out!

Sounds like Republican Dirty Tricks to me. This is exactly the kind of thing Rove or his henchmen might do. All the guys who did their handiwork as young men for Nixon are now the main GOP strategists. I'd look into that protesting group and see who organized and financed them.

Obama belongs in the White House. Love, Mom

frodo - send obama somewhere else than illinois, we don't want him back here in illinois period!!!

I am a 20 year career military man. I can judge and critique leadership and patriotism. First of all, John McCain has dragged this campaign into the mud and the only way for Barrack Obama to get his message across was to get a little down and dirty with him. That's called, intelligent tactics. I was and still am a supporter of President Bush. His policies stem from closely held beliefs. McCain on the other hand is a clueless puppet, who just wants to be President before he dies. I don't see any hint of leadership from this guy. If I had to follow someone into battle, I darned sure wouldn't want to follow him. There is a thing in the military called Attention to Detail. Watching McCain for the past year and learning of his history (shot down in Vietnam), we know this guy has a problem with detail. The good Pilots make it home from missions, the good Politicians don't consistently put their foot in their mouths. ie (The Economy is Strong). It's time for America to rally around a true leader and the man who has come out of nowhere to beat the status quo. He is highly intelligent and ready to lead this country. Don't let this clueless McCain and that knucklehead Palin leave our cvountry broken down in a ditch. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN 08!

DL,

McCain in 2005 called for Frannie to be put under watch and warned that their behavior would lead to a financial crisis.

Obama, on the other hand, said nothing against them, took their funding, and even took as an advisor the former head of Fannie Mae (Jim Johnson)

Barack Obama has just demonstrated that he is OWNED BY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS TODAY, THE SAME ONES WHO GAVE HIM THE MOST MONEY OF ANY CANDIDATE IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME.

Mcain hit Obama good today...
Obama took all that money from Lehman Bro.

You're probably right, Flynn. Check out the web site on their signs.
www.michaelwarns.com

Whackos, I'm sure, but I respect their right to protest.

Obama '08

I believe this so-called "endorsement" was very early this year, when the KKK decided they'd rather have Obama than Hillary. (In fact, they referred to Hillary, using the "B" word.) Classy, eh?

I'm not sure what the protestors were trying to prove. Surely they don't think Sen. Obama sought out KKK endorsement. I thought Sen. Obama's reaction to the protestors was classy.

Kudos... He always shows good judgement.

He respected their right to free speech...
The Repubs would've gone over there and "blasted away" the place first and then ask questions later.. LOL!!

JA

want to go over mccains connections? phil gramm his zillion lobbyists for those big companies that were just bailed out

oh and that johnsons connection better go do some homework he was never an advisor to obama, its just another lie by the straight talk express

...just sh*t your f*cking mouths and vote...

I guess it is alright for protectors to go after McCain and his running mate but not BHO. They probably did not get their checks for attending the rally so were upset. There goes freedom of speech out the door or is it freedom to oppose.

JA

mccain did warn about freddie and fannie,

the ONLY problem with it is that he didnt argue about the deregulation or that it would cause a crisis

so, since the republicans were in charge of CONGRESS and did nothing about it,

and since it did nothing to stop the deregulation this woudl still be happening under john mccains plan

try again bud

Reminds of the environmentalists that protested Al Gore during his campaign. How that work out for them and the environment?

It's good to see that some African Americans see the truth about Obama.

I JUST LOVE OBAMA. HE HANDLED IS SO WELL.

McCain is now the OFFICIAL candidate for the people and party who brought us:

Watergate, the Trillion Dollar War, Blackwater, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, Fannie Mae, The Mortgage Meltdown, No Bid Contract, Katrina, Harriet Miers, Abu Ghraib, Alberto Gonzalez, Halliburton, Body Armor, Guantanamo, Waterboarding, Axis of Evil, Shock and Awe, Mission Accomplished! Karl Rove, John Bolton, more soldiers coming home in flag draped boxes, Donald Rumsfeld, Sara AND Todd Palin, Troopergate, the Bridge to Nowhere, the Keating Five, and many other dead end ideas, crushing national debts,and foreign policy debaucles.

Gee. A Presidential candidate has hecklers at an event. Last time that was reported was when McCain's photo-op at the auto plant blew up 48 hours ago. Equally "newsworthy", equally meaningless.

JA

McCain made one speech but continued to vote for deregulation in the rest of the banking sector...he called out AFTER the enron scandal and a lot of this was unpopular...

so he makes a speech

isn't that what mcCain does...

leads like an economic moron hangiong with the bad guys until his economic beliefs bite us in the a$$...

before the S and L scandal he is fighting for deregulation and hanging with Keating every freakin day...vacationing with the guy...his banking deregualtion lobbyist friends...taking donations and getting him contracts from his wife's company...

then the sh#$ hits the fan and mcCain says "oh I've learned my evil ways" as the country pays a trillion dollars.

then enron loophole gets written by his buddy mentor sr. economic advisor...

Phil Gramm... he is all for it...

and then the sh#$ hits the fan money goes out the window...the federal governemtn has to step in and he gives a speech on a similar issue that needs to be regulated...

then he fights for us to go to war with iraq... we lost a trillion dollars

then he rehires the guy he trashed about deregulation as Gramm is lobbying for the deregulation that he supposedly was against...to write the nation's economic policies for the future 4-8 years...

he continues to talk about needing less regulation in much of the sector throughout this campaign

maybe once giving a speech that sort of hinted in the other direction when the signs of this travesty were about to come back and bite him and his deregulation lobbyist friends in the a$$

a trillion dollars later again...he says ...I have been calling for regulation.

this election and John mcCain's credibility on any issue that has to do with economics...

is a joke at this point.

3 trillion dollars later.

thank god his political career was only as long as it was...

otherwise we may be the united states of the national bank of china at this point.

throw these bums out.

I am no supporter of Obama....AT ALL

But the bailouts, to some extent, will protect the working class.

What happens to a working class family if their 401K disappears? What happens when they lose their job? What happens when the insurance company can't pay up after a hurricane?

These companies are necessary for the American company. Stockholders in AIG, FM, and FM were WIPED OUT by this crisis. This is not aiding the rich or reqrding poor stewardship...it is putting water on a fire before it rages out of control.

McCain-Palin '08

Personally, I think the blacks protesting against Obama were hired by Carl Rove or one of his operatives. He has done the same thing before and it would not be unlike hom to do so again in an election where he thinks McCain will lose unless he does something drastic. Rove has given Republicans a black eye and it makes me sad to think he is a member of my political party.

this is just another demonstration of the crab mentality. i hate to see this. do these people really think mccain and the rep party is for them?? lets be real. we need change, the blacks that fought for the past 50+ years never thought this would be possible and here we have ignorant people protesting what so many people died for and marched for. living proof of the american dream.

Wonder how much the Republi-cons pay those most likely out-of-work Blacks for their promotion of the usual 'divide and rule' stance? lol

Republi-con 'strategy' of divisions and destruction: Keep Americans undereducated and unemployed; so that they may be conveniently used to create divisions, and participate in UNPROVOKED wars!

Why do I have the chilling feeling these are Rush toadies sent out by him deliberately?

Just to be clear...these protesters will be voting for Obama. They are simply trying to push him to the left.

Blacks against Obama...
Women against Palin...
Old guys and military against McCain...

We've actually come a long way.

Nonetheless... BO is still not qualified, experienced or even tested to be POTUS!

I have much more respect for these protestors than those scary, hairy lesbos that heckled McCain/Palin's speeches.

There is some crazy black woman in Florida who is very conservative and .. . . . . crazy. EOM

John Adams, second United States President, would rebuke these comments.

Notwithstanding, the Klan should endorses the social agenda Mr. Obama suggest, and the Obama campaign should accept their endorsement on behalf of progress towards healing this great nation.

Suggesting the GOP is behind this action is incredulous and nearly as comical as the GOP suggesting the DNC's is receiving favoritism in this presidential election.

A big round of applause for the United States of America coming together thus reinforcing the Klan can set aside their biases and support a candidate for the highest office in the land.

Thomas Jefferson would most notably concur.

It's hilarious how many Obama supporters react to these things - no, it couldn't be that these people simply don't think Obama represents their interests. OF COURSE, it must be McCain's fault, or the GOP's fault, or maybe it's aliens.

Is anything EVER Obama's responsibility? I'm surprised nobody has yet posted that these people are racists - although I'm sure that will come soon.

Who paid those guys? Karl Rove? LOL

"Jesse Jackson Hates Obama." That right there is enough reason to vote for Barack.

Funny how you think that the Democrats are for the poor and GOP for the rich.. look who is and always does stump for the dems... always big name ultra rich hmmmm something stinks and you all fall for it. You all are doing a great job being the little sheep to the media and ultra rich celebs

I want to see the signs at a McCain rally that say "Whites against McCain", that would make sense, huh?. We've already seen the "Alaskans against Palin". We'll look back fondly at the giant, "Right-Wing-Nut Evangelicals against Bush" signs.

hopesrings52 and the rest of you liberal idiot's - it just really irk's you to the extreme to actually see protesters protest at obama's speech, you liberal's are a bunch of double standard lying babies! you liberal nuts always protest anywhere there is a republican speaking freely, and you know that is true, bunch of freakin hypocrites! that is the perfect example on how un-American you liberal moron's are, trying to shut other people up who have a diffent opinion than your's! the protestors in minnesota were able to protest in peace until they started damaging property, assaulting people and police officer's, etc... you moron's broke the law, those were police officer's that are democrat and republican's you were attacking! what more proof you hell-bound idiot's have no commonsense and are double standard hypocrites! and i don't care what you morons think, i bet most of the people posting these comments are angry judgemental african-american's with no brain's and left-wing liberal college taught idiot's by professor's who damaged your brains by dumbing down your conscience, which you morons don't have in the first place!

Jeezus people, stop regurgitating the "not-enough regulation" talking point. Anyone with a CLUE about economics is marking the cause as the OVER-regulation of the Community Redevelopment Act which forced creditors to make bad loans or face stiff penalties from the Fed. This caused subprime loans to be repackaged as A rated or better in mortgage backed securities.
And then we have the gall to call the LENDERS "predatory."

LESS regulation is the answer, not more of the same.

Bhrandon,

Get your facts straight. McCain put forward a bill to limit Frannie's wreckless behavior.

Meantime, Obama, whose advisor Jim Johnson was the head of Frannie, bailed out Frannie and other big name investment banks.

McCain went against wealthy financial firms and told them: If you're going to act recklessly, then you'll pay the price.

Obama bailed them out and said: The wealthy are more important than the poor, so we'll give them all the money they need to keep stable.

Now before any of you say that you can't let the rich fail because it will TRICKLE DOWN to the poorer classes.............SINCE WHEN ARE YOU REAGANITES.

Barack Obama has exposed himself as a corporate stooge

And what did their signs say?

“Obama endorsed by the KKK.”
“Jesse Jackson hates Obama”
“Obama for Gay Marriage”

Whackos? Or more Republican dirty tricks? Wouldn't put it past them. Remember the Florida re-count antics.

Look at how much money Mr. obama got in August for his campaign and we know who he'll support in the future.

These African-Anmericans(who probaly haven't spent one night there and never will) are all about voting black, just like 95 percent of the black Americans.
It is fun to watch though. Obama is a communist; they want a dictator to tell them when to blow their noses.

The rumor that the KKK endorsed or supported Obama came from some stupid (unless they were deliberately misrepresenting it) people taking a satirical, humorous article in a British publication as if it was anything other than an obvious joke. The article was sent around via email, with the original disclaimer that it wasn't to be taken seriously missing. Snopes.com debunked this myth back in February -- see for yourself, it's the second Google result for "Obama KKK". Or just, you know, think for 3 seconds and realize that the KKK would never endorse a black candidate, especially one whose mother was a white woman!

Sold out the working class? Do you have the slightest understanding of what this bailout did? It wasn't aimed at protecting rich speculators; without the bailout this situation would likely have led to a chain-collapse of hundreds of small banks across America. It would have destroyed the savings and retirement income of millions of Americans who had nothing wrong or irresponsible other than trusting that the government could manage the economy. Obama protected the middle class and working folks, and hopefully (although not likely) the men and women whose irresponsible actions led to this situation will be rewarded for it accordingly. Its an extremely tough situation, and its likely Obama is losing political points the way he is handling it, even though he is doing the right thing. I would be proud to have him serve me as president.

Frodo, well being your stuck in middle earth, you can go back to the Shire.

Racist, remarks only show your ignorance.

Here is the truth, they where paid, funded by an offshoot of the Rebublican party.

Here is what happened in fremont, a protest group at a clinic for women, got arrested, they where told by the judge pay a fine or take a child out of the system, ok out of over 25 protesters only 3 took children, 2 brought the child back the same day, one the next day. The where paid. They did not care about the issue, or cause.

What they care about is MONEY and it is sad that they have to stoop so low. Just to have fun and make a few bucks.

They do not represent the black vote, they represent MONEY and the way our economy is it is no wonder or surprize.

Check the pictures out, I bet you will see the same folk at most Obama ralleys, do how they getting there?
And who is paying, if you want to find out something follow the money trail.

You can find jobs for paid activist in the newspaper, check florida newspaper, over even a penny saver.

ANYONE who mentions their "race" as a qualifier for anything important deserves to be ignored. "Race" is a division tool.

Your skin color is about as important as how much hair you have on my head.

Get over this, people.

Stupid ignorant fools with their signs, Obama is the future we need. Get outta the way or prepared to be steam rolled over.

Obama 08'!!!!

Why is Barack Obama supporting giving billions and billions and billions of dollars to make sure the wealthy financial firms stay that way - wealthy?

Barack Obama has sold his sold to the devil - the devil being corporate America.

ANYONE WHO NOW TRIES TO DENY THAT OBAMA IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER BOUGHT OUT POLITICIAN IS A FOOL.

Looks like a put -up job to garner white sympathy. Looks really phony.

WHAT-THE!
I don't get it!
Next
Vegetarians against vegetabels

timmaaa7, thanks for lecturing us Dems on our stupidity. Care if we spell-check and grammer-check that trainwreck of an post you entered?

Micheal Jackson is black, Barack is not!

Umm, one question. Did these protestors watch the RNC? There were 26, yes 26, black people out of 3600. The DNC, by contrast, was 25% minority represented. Now, which party is the party of the KKK? Just askin'...

Ryan, as far as I can see Obama is not the future but the past:
Obama = Bush = Take from the Poor give to the Rich

I'm a far left liberal and this is NOT CHANGE it is more of the Bush policy of helping only the rich.

Good bye Obama, I'm glad I realized you're nothing but a fraud before I voted for you.

beck, YOU ARE COMPLETE FOOL. YOU KNOW ABSOLUTLY NOTHING ABOUT SENATOR McCAIN, HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS OR HIS POSITION ON THOSE ITEMS YOU LIST IN YOUR 9/19/08 COMMENT SO YOU RESORT TO LIES AND HALF TRUTHS. AGAIN, YOU ARE A FOOL.

I WILL BE VOTING FOR SENATOR OBAMA IN THE GENERAL ELECTION AS I DID IN THE PRIMARY BECAUSE I BELIEVE HE IS THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB BUT FOR YOU TO RUN DOWN SENATOR MCCAIN WITH YOUR BULLSHIT COMMENTS IS STUPID.

The protestors' signs say they're affiliated with michaelwarns.com, whose content is actually at http://www.michaeldefeatssatan.com/

It's some kind of whack-job racially-themed doomsday cult.

No, the GOP isn't behind this. I don't think they really want to spread the message "The only blacks who don't support Obama belong to whack-job doomsday cults."

These protesters are based out of South Florida. They represent a radical Black/Hebrew cult philosophy founded by a demagogue named Mike("Mike the blackman.") Boss Radio. I will remain anonymous but I want everyone to understand how dangerous it is for him to campaign against the establishment, the wackos and facist that abound in our nation at this point in American history. The founder of this cult was a former Yahweh ben Yahweh follower, a cult leader who has convicted of murder. He used his henchmen to murder store owners and drug dealers alike in the late eighties to gain power and to advance his cult philosophy. I know the feds can trace this post. I don't mind. I understand this campaign, this truely is "Our Moment.". be safe Barack. If someone hurts you fighting for what you believe in, I don't think I would ever be the same.

Obama Supporter.

My head is going to explode.

Please. Obama supported bailing out the stock market today-- big deal. It wasn't just "bailing out the rich." A lot of middle class Americans have their savings invested in those companies. No matter what president you choose, he is going to spend money.

At Least He's Supporting Spending The Money In OUR Nation, and not wasting it to BLOW UP some OTHER country.

First of all, back the bailout plan to buy up the mortgage securities will help EVERYBODY. For ignorant posters out there - everybody uses banks and a wide majority of americans (and a ton of people outside of the US) have money in pensions and 401ks for their retirement. The plan will help all those people not soley firms on Wall Street that are currently being gutted for those who don't know. Not to mention Barack has asked for a second stimulus package for everybody which will include stimulus checks and infrastructure projects that will both put people to work AND be in investment in the United States. Get your facts straight...it's ignorant people like some of those on this board that got us in this mess in the first place by voting Bush into office...twice.

The writers of this report need to go back to elementary school to learn how to spell All Right!

What a disgrace. We need Obama.
Racism does not belong in our society.
This people are ill.
Obama is the only hope we have for
America. Put some strong tape over
these fools mouths.
Or should I say go get a life!!!

To jim: Obama spoke out against the government bailouts. Who are these people? One of those signs said, "Obama for Gay Marriage." Which is totally false, unfortunately. I'd love for equal marriage rights in the US. These folks were apparently falsely informed, or paid a lot of money by the McCain camp. The McCain camp has been sending out fraudulent ballots in this state to people who will likely vote Democrat. Republicans know that it would take cheating to win.

Obama/Biden 08!!!

I guess this goes to show, those living off scamming the government for handouts know no racial bounds.

Obama is liar and a racist who is running on a race card and lying about it even while pushing it. What does it say about blacks in America as well when 95% of them are for Obama, because he's black?

Black Americans are the worst racists in the world, the KKK could take lessons from them.

Its kinda funny to see ignorant blacks protesting what amounts to be their own well-being.

These protesters were probably the same ones shipped in to Florida from New york to stop the ballots from being recounted in 2000 by Jim Baker. The Republicans think they are above the law. Ever since Nixon's cabinet went to prison, the Republicans have found new ways to corruption without getting caught. Where are Woodward and Bernstein when you need them? Why is it that Rove and Todd Palin can both ignore subpeonas? Could a private citizen ignore a subpeona without being held in contempt? How is that that is 2000 in my state of Florida people were being stopped from voting? How is it now that the Republicans are trying to disallow voters from foreclosed on homes claiming they can't verify their address? How is that that they can call Jewish seniors in my state claiming that Obama is part of Hamas. It is about time that these bums go to prison again. They have cost us thousands of young lives looking for non existent weapons of mass destruction. They have cost of jobs and homes. Yet people, like sheep still blindly let them get away with it.

Looking at Obama in this clip, all I can think of is - unflappable and calm. No drama, no theater, no raised voice.

Just calm and even tempered.

That's what I expect from a President.

timaaa7,

After reading your illegible rant, I have never been prouder to be a college educated, left wing, liberal nut. Thank you and have a great weekend.

The only odd thing about this protest was the signs they were carrying--and it wasn't so much the KFC drumsticks that served as sign handles as it was that there were not any bites taken yet.

Omentum WHAT EVER

Seems to me like this is something that can only help Obama. It will cause some non-black voters to feel at ease that perhaps he's not in the pocket of blacks - that, "Well, if they don't like him then maybe he's not as bad as I feared."

And it's not like he's going to lose the black vote. This could only help him.

I am completely convinced that in order to be an Obama supporter , one has to have a single digit IQ! If a Republican Presidential candidate had the background , and questionable associations that Obama has ,he wouldn't get ten percent of the population to vote for him , and the press would have long ago crucified him.
You Obama bots are the most simple minded dolts I have ever known!!
The other thing that is revolting is the thought of having that monkey looking wife of his , with the hindquarters of a Clydesdale for hips , in the White house! sickening thought!
