"Obama will hit the gym"
Does this guy ever do any work?

Yeah, he crafts a tax plan that is 3X more beneficial to working families than McButt's.

History teaches us that empires rise but they also fall at some point. A lot of people outside the US really like Obama and believe that he can lead America back to the position it was during the Clinton years of prosperity and global respect.

However, some of us dont want him to win because the world is tired of America's dominance. Hence, John McCain will better serve the purpose of finally putting to rest the American dream...ha! ha! ha!

Please vote for the dullard and unintelligent JOHN McCAIN and SARAH PALIN who believes that the world is just 5,000 years old!

It is only in America that there would even be a contest between Obama and McCain. How on earth did Palin end up becoming a Governor? Someone that believes global warming is not man made? Believes that creationism should be taught in schools in the 21st century? Only in America can such a person contest for the office of the vice presidency

A people deserve the type of leader they get.

Let's see all the McCainiacs come out and attack Obama for taking his kids to school.

For geevill...apparently Palin spends quite a bit working out at the gym as well.

I'm glad to see that Obama takes the time to know what goes on in his daughter's lives, unlike someone else we all know lately...

“Reasons why you should not vote for Obama”

Caucus Fraud committed by Obama supporters (primaries)
• Intimidation
• Voting multiple times
• Busing people into other towns and states to vote
• Votes exceeding the number of registered voters
• Paying for votes
http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm

Lack of Experience
• 143 days in the United States Senate
• No Foreign policy experience
• No Executive experience (hasn’t run a business, town, or state, nothing, nada)
• Community organizing (going door to door to register voters for ACORN)

Has NEVER stood his ground when it wasn’t politically expedient.
• Obama gave an Anti-war speech to gain the support of the big money people in Chicago

Poor Record
• Voted “present” 129 times in Senate, not taking a stand on controversial issues. (indecisive)
• Worked to remove asbestos with limited success, still remains uncompleted to this day.
• Claims credit for welfare reform in Chicago that helped to put steel workers back to work, but it was a Republican bill that President Bill Clinton signed into law and that Obama voted against!
• Asked for a million dollar earmark for his wife’s employer (she received a $200,000 raise)
• Secured 100’s of millions of dollars in earmarks for private developers like Rezko resulting in failed housing projects that were rat infested, no electricity, sewerage and crime ridden, and uninhabitable forcing the government to take them over. (boston globe grim beginnings link)
• Voted in the state senate for gun control and refused to crack down on gangs. Obama helped create the situations where crime in 2008 escalated to about 30 shootings in a week requiring a special task force to be formed to stem the violence in the streets.
• Chairman of the Foreign Relations subcommittee on European affairs, which he has neglected, not having once held a meeting. Countries like Georgia were his responsibility.
• Most liberal Democratic voting record. Voted 97% of the time with his party.

Broken campaign promises
• Fisa (fourth amendment rights)
• Public campaign financing
• Undivided Jerusalem

Highly questionable religious connections
• Former pastor Rev. Wright “God D*mn America! America caused 9/11 and AIDs.
• Black Liberation Theology (black supremacy)

Connections to corrupt politicians, and Anti-American Organizations
• William Ayers – Terrorist - Bombed NY police station, Pentagon, Capital building in 70,71,72. People died. (He got off on technicality caused by FBI procedural mistake)
• Tony Rezko – Arab developer convicted in Chicago for fraud, money laundering and bribes of government officials. Rezko helped Obama find his Chicago Mansion and bought a piece of the property through his wife, whom subsequently sold a piece back to Obama.

Best selling books about Obama
• “The Obama Nation” by Jerome Corsi (Some minor factual mistakes but theme is credible)
• “The Case Against Obama “ by David Freddoso (Very revealing about Chicago background)

Impending Economic disasters
• Increase in capital gains tax – 28% targets most people’s largest asset, the sale of their house. Retirement plans, and funding for college are hurt when you stand to lose more money than the cost of a college education. His $500 or $1,000 tax credit called a “tax cut for 95% of the people” is a “gimmick” to get your vote so he can fleece you out of your life’s work?
• Doubling foreign aid to other countries. Doubling our commitment to funding the U.N.

Campaign Gaffes
• Said he campaigned in 57 states, thought for a moment, and said he was going on to the 58th state
• Called the Great Lakes, the Great Lake of Oregon??
• Confused Iraq with Iran when talking to General Petreaus.
• Referenced using a “pistol” to go duck hunting.
• Captured in a photo not saluting the flag with his hand over his heart while everyone else was.
• “Israel is a friend of Israel”. “His banking committee” – but he isn’t on the banking committee.
• Obama slips in ABC interview and says “My muslim faith”
http://therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/2008/09/07/oopsies-my-muslim-faith”

Failure to support American “wounded” soldiers in Germany
• On his excellent adventure, European tour, Senator Obama was scheduled to visit our “wounded soldiers” in Germany. After Obama was told that he could not bring cameras or his campaign manager inside with him and he would just be visiting officially as a senator, he decided not to visit our “wounded soldiers”. He went to workout at the Ritz Carlton gym instead. His lame excuses were not supported by the Pentagon.

Accomplishments raise doubts
• Highlights that he worked “across the aisle” on Nuclear Proliferation legislation with Republican Senator Lugar. Senator. However, in an interview, Senator Lugar said the Obama had “overstated his involvement”. He explained that Obama had expressed an interest in joining his committee (which makes him a co-sponsor) shortly before the bill was introduced, and recalled that he had attended one or possibly two meetings. (It looks nice on his resume, but hardly qualifies as “working across the aisle on a controversial issue” when consensus was against the spread of nuclear weapons around the world

HP Boston....you are obviously a McCain staffer...not one of your points is true. All anyone has to do is go to factcheck.org to find out the truth. Good try..you would make Karl Rove proud.

Glad to see him waste more taxpayer money by having the secret service escort him to take his kids to school. Wake up America, this guy is out for nobody but himself.

Party identification difference down to one point!

According to the internals of the Gallup survey, McCain’s ascension to the leadership of the GOP may have healed the brand. Democrats now lead Republicans in party identification by just a single point.

In the new survey 48% say they’re Democrats or lean to the Democratic Party; 47% say they’re Republicans or lean to the GOP.

What’s more, voters by 48%-45% support the Democratic candidate in their congressional district, the party’s narrowest advantage this year.

I am so excited majority of Americans are going to contribute to its downfall as a global super power by voting for the unintelligent duo of McCain and Palin.

Its about time another country rises to become the next super power. Did I hear someone say Russia or China?

On a serious note, those of you planning to vote for McCain-Palin ticket are only contributing to the downfall of your country.

No objective observer, at least outside America, thinks that McCain will be a better President than Obama.

A lot of we Europeans have finally come to terms that two terms of Bush was not a one off mistake by Americans.

Without been funny, I have to honestly say that majority of your electorate are really really stipud and that of course includes "geevil".

lies lies lies...blah blah blah

When your guy has nothing to run on, that's all you can offer.

And geevill, uh, the guy has been campaigning for 19 months straight and I applaud him for staying healthy. McCain takes every single weekend off. Obama doesn't.

Hey repubs... Fannie Mae has been seized. Another wonderful Bush failure. It's an insult that McCain is even competing...

What more do you expect from a guy that says one thing to your face in Pennsylvania but then mocks how you cling to your guns and religion in San Francisco????

Why are you talking about where his kids go to school? How many posts have you had on McCain children? Please leave the children out of it. Please leave the tabloid stuff in the tabloids. Talk about tax policy, deregulation, do your job for once.

His children go to a school that costs 20k a year??!! Talk about out of touch with the American people!

BTW - McCain supports the existance charter schools more than Obama does!

Photo op...

Is this really newsworthy? Millions of people take their kids to school. If this guy farts it hits thie news and frankly I don't give a damn!

Put up some real news, update us on the fake birth certificate; discuss real issues like his total lack of experience at anything but don't make friggin headlines out his friggin kids getting a ride to school on taxpayer money!

Abc News is no longer a credible news source. Obama took his kids to school and the so-called unbiased ABC news finds a way to criticize that.

Dear HP Boston, have you read the other posts before you set to work on this encyclopedia of innuendo? Really, community organizing is something more than "going door to door to register voters for ACORN" (that 's just plain ridiculous and insulting), community organizing is a tough job with great responsibilies, real, individual responsibilies, instead of those ceremonial positions that mayors and governors hold. And I would much rather have a president who does not care about photo opportunities when saluting a flag, than one who brings strange ideas about creationism and guns to the job.

when is Palin going to do town halls and tlak to regular people like McCain, Obama and Biden?

anyone politician or journalism student can read que cards and give a speech

Americans,

Please hasten your final downfall as a respected global power by voting for McCain in your Nov elections.

Many of us can't wait. We really hopes he wins. Another 4 years of Bushlike policies is exactly what you folks need.

Barack Obama drops his daughter off at school and then goes to the gym? This is news?

They didn't report what he had for breakfast? Or how many sugars he used in his coffee? What kind of lame reporting is this?

We need this information! How can I make it through the day not knowing how long he spent brushing his teeth!

I almost cried when I saw pictures of Bristol Palin on the internet. An underaged girl surrounded by empty liquor bottles. She looked so sad. Where was her mother?

Then I think of Joe Biden who traveled from Washington to DE every night to take care of his sons.

The truth is Sarah Palin is a poor mother and as a Christian woman, my heart breaks for her children. IT is absolutely relevant. CHARACTER is RELEVANT.

justaskin: Why did Obama first say he would have 10 town hall debates with McCain anytime & anyplace and then refuse to a single one?

Could it be he found out nobody could write his answers and there wouldn't be a teleprompter for him to oratize from?

Obama will be more diplomatic, more fair to the rights of American citizens, better at fixing the economy, more honest about policies, and therfore better for MOST of American people.

If you make +$250k a year, hate abortion more then losing your job, like sending jobs out of the country, like drilling for more oil company profits, or do not beleive in global warming you should vote for McCain.

If you like reducing taxes on the families that need it, reducing taxes on companies that are starting new, increasing taxes on companies that use loopholes to pay nothing, increasing taxes on the wealthy who used the last 8 years to rape America and its economy, or think renewable energy is the way to erase dependency on foreigners you should vote for Obama.

Also:

If you like Unions, vote Obama.
If you like freedom, vote Obama.
If you like healthcare, vote Obama.
If you like intellegent debates, vote Obama.

If you like smearing, vote McCain.
If you like attacks instead of facts, vote McCain.
If you like taxing poor people, vote McCain.
If you like corporate loopholes that caused Enron/Fannie,Freddie/houseing crisis, vote McCain.
If you like war, vote McCain.
If guns and religion mean more to you then jobs and homes, vote McCain.

Dee, those were not Bristol Palin in those pictures. Once again liberals used phony pictures to slime Sarah's kids.

questions for Palin

Without mentioning her supervision of the Alaskan National Guard (a task all governors have), her state’s proximity to Russia, and her son’s military service, what qualifies her to be commander-in-chief in such turbulent times? How does she reconcile being a “reform” candidate with being under ethical investigation in her home state? Why did she originally back the infamous Bridge to Nowhere? Does she support Alaska not receiving a single additional earmark under a McCain Administration? (And if so, what would that mean economically for her home state?) Does she now agree with McCain’s opposition to drilling in ANWR? Does she believe that the war in Iraq is “a task from God”? Does she support converting homosexuals into heterosexuals, as her church in Alaska promotes? And has her own personal family situation changed her views on family planning and sex education?

Dee, beth is correct. Liberals posted pictures of a girl at a party with liquor bottles and then said it was Bristol Palin when she doesn't even look like her!

"justaskin: Why did Obama first say he would have 10 town hall debates with McCain anytime & anyplace and then refuse to a single one?

Could it be he found out nobody could write his answers and there wouldn't be a teleprompter for him to oratize from?"

It is probably because no one cares about McCain, and if Obama was in the building McCain might actually get an audience.

I glad Obama took the oppurtunity to have his children driven to school in a motorcade and a great photo op. Nice to see that he connects to the middle class. The tuition is quite costly I see.

Work out at the gym. The guy is invisible when you look at this side profile since he is so skinny.

NO OBAMA!

You have to admit writing your memoirs before you have a substantial voting record is pretty unusual? Obama clearly avoided the issue of his foreign affairs experience with George S.

Cheney just endorsed Palin as VP...now that's a great endorsement! I'm sure Sarah would be happy to follow in his "I don't have to follow the Constitution, arrogant, total disregard for the American people," shoes!

There were also few blackhawks helicopters in the air and two US Army Abrams tanks on the ground.

you guys always talk about how obama uses a teleprompter when is sara going to be off the prompter and doing actual interviews

also its funny that the mccain camp seems to be taking all of the obama camps lines and using them as their own

i heard mccain camp manager today saying, i havent heard one policy proposal from the obama camp, and all they do is complain and attack... thats not what america needs, we need a real debate

lol who do these people think the american people are

we will run on experience and try to destroy obama with it for months, and then we will use a political stunt and become the celebrity we accuse obama of being

then we will give a speech and every american will forget about the last 8 years of this administration and the last 4 months of our campaign by just saying a few words

lol who are these people?

sara palin is a liar, her whole speech and continued reuse of that speech every day ont he campaign trail is riddled with absolute lies

I TOTALLY AGREE

questions for palin

Without mentioning her supervision of the Alaskan National Guard (a task all governors have), her state’s proximity to Russia, and her son’s military service, what qualifies her to be commander-in-chief in such turbulent times? How does she reconcile being a “reform” candidate with being under ethical investigation in her home state? Why did she originally back the infamous Bridge to Nowhere?

Does she support converting homosexuals into heterosexuals, as her church in Alaska promotes? And has her own personal family situation changed her views on family planning and sex education?

Fifteen to twenty thousand a year for PRIVATE grade school?? Is that a piece? What about my kids Senator?

Senator Obama "But what I do oppose is using public money for private school vouchers. We need to focus on fixing and improving our public schools; not throwing our hands up and walking away from them." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Feb/2008

WALKING AWAY FROM THEM???? ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING SENATOR?? ARE YOUR KIDS BETTER THAN MINE???

McCain: "When faced with grim prospects, fairness requires that parents be given choices and the ability to exercise them." July speech to NAACP

And the candidate for the common man is ??

also as a parent of a special needs child i think shes horrible to be running for vice president when that kid needs so much attention...

i think she is an awful person

curious indep

uhmmmm sending your kids to a public school does not mean that someone isnt for fixing public schools

its hte system we hav ein place

mccian is going to continue to promote it, obama wants to fix it

think its pretty clear.

to lying Curious Indep
where did Mccain & kids go to school.
and when graduating at bottom of class get special treatment?

STICK TO ISSUES NOT SOAP OPERA STUFF

The one big mistake the Obama campaign did was overestimate the intelligence of the American people. We sure are stupid. We voted a complete idiot into office twice and now we want to vote his clone in. We don't deserve to be the leader of the free world.

At least we know Obama spends time with his kids.
One thing can be said - we know Palin wasn't watching one of her kids at one point.

Aw, how nice that he personally takes his kids to school, in a motorcade and with the MSM fawning over him and there is the collective "awwww...." Why, Obama is just a regular guy like you and me except, of course, he sends his kids to a private school because his kids are better than others for whom he has refused to support vouchers. From there, he'll head to the gym to workout, but he's not an elitist, he's like you and me. The rest of us go to work, and he goes to workout. What? Work for a living, not for the Prophet!

Palin's "bridge to nowhere":

She worked hard to get the 200 million dollars needed to get the "bridge to nowhere." When american was shown what a waste this was, she immediately started saying that she is against it, for fear that she would look bad. SHE NEVER GAVE THE TAX MONEY BACK TO AMERICAN TAX PAYERS. Basicly, she asked for a bridge, got the money, and kept it. I guess she just flat out lied.

The jet on ebay:

Sure she tried to sell in on ebay. It never sold on ebay, it sold to a private citizen AT A LOSS. Funny how this is not, "Sold the jet on ebay at a profit" like the republicans are touting. I guess they are flat out lying to you.

So add these lies to the lies that McCain says daily about Obama, and you get a political party THAT IS BASED COMPLETELY OF LYING TO AMERICANS.

Lies:

Drilling will help reduce dependency on foreign oil

Gas tax holiday will help save americans money

Obama wants to raise taxes on everyone

Obama does is partisan

McCain is a maverick

"Aw, how nice that he personally takes his kids to school, in a motorcade and with the MSM fawning over him and there is the collective "awwww...."

AWWWWW, a Repub crying about how a wealthy man uses his money! Stop being a hypocrit. Obama is the man that will INCREASE HIS OWN TAXES.

Compare that to GWBUSH who increased his pay from $200k a year to $400k a year.

I'll tax the humble rich man over the selfish rich mand any day.

So what has McCain done for you lately?

I haven't heard anything that will help America. His Policies, by every measure, are worse then Obama's.

So either vote for policies, or vote for personality.

I'd rather have an intellegent guy with no social life as pres then an idiot with a beer.

AND, Where is Michelle Obama?

More for the show.....Elitist NObama takes daughter to ELITIST private school that cost $20,000 a year. While his pastor of Hate Jeremiah Wright is moving into his 2.5 million palace........More of the same!

Country First!
McCain/Sarah Palin for true change in America!..the country we have ALWAYS loved.

You reported this? Why don't you report more important things like the Obama Campaign threw away 12,000 flags in 84 bags into the garbage!!!

Yay, Obama! Do your thing and show 'em how a functional American family gets things done!!

Palin's "bridge to nowhere":

She worked hard to get the 200 million dollars needed to get the "bridge to nowhere." When american was shown what a waste this was, she immediately started saying that she is against it, for fear that she would look bad. SHE NEVER GAVE THE TAX MONEY BACK TO AMERICAN TAX PAYERS.

lol. you guys sound so ridiculous and downright STUPID.
since when has educational achievment and doing well due to hard work been a crime?
he took his girls to school? good for him, he's a great dad. not plagued by a teen pregnant daughter, respectful and loving towards his wife, didn't really call her a C*NT in public really.
suck it up, you just can't stand at just how perfect his family is. such a pity.

Obama/Biden

This has nothing to do personally with his kids; however, has EVERYTHING to do with his stance on his Educational Policies..How can anyone, in all honesty, be comfortable with a candidate who has a "DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO" MENTALITY..We are electing Public Representativs.., not a Royal Aristocracy, unless you feel comfortable being ruled by one united force..as in Dem held Congress/Senate/President...I prefer check and balances...

Glad to see that the economic crunch hasn't affected the Obama's at all. Spending $40,000 in elementry school tuition is more than many families make combined. Don't forget to throw in the $10,000 they pay a year (and Michelle complained of the rising cost) in piano and dance lessons. And they are in touch with the average Americans? Think I'll take the Palin's over these guys. I'm thinking they'll fight for and understand the typical family.

You reported this? Why don't you report more important things like the Obama Campaign threw away 12,000 flags in 84 bags into the garbage!!!

Oh yes, and so much for patriotism which I always doubt he has. Now ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS.

So what has McCain done for you lately?

I haven't heard anything that will help America. His Policies, by every measure, are worse then Obama's.

So either vote for policies, or vote for personality.

Obama/Biden

AND PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you spew unsubstantiated claims on his economic plan. uninformed, ignorant, and xenophobic is not the way to go.

Michelle sleeping in? Don't forget to wake her up for Oprah.

“The Obama Nation” by Jerome Corsi (Some minor factual mistakes
***********************************

some minor factual mistakes LOL

Since 1930 (the first year decent data is available), GDP growth was 5.4 percent for Democratic presidents and 1.6 percent for Republicans.

Looking at the 72-year period between 1927 and 1999, the study shows that a broad stock index, similar to the S&P 500, returned approximately 11 percent more a year on average under a Democratic president versus safer, three-month Treasurys. By comparison, the index only returned 2 percent more a year versus the T-bills when Republicans were in office.

Democrats are better for the economy. Period.

Speaking of the press NBC caved into the Republicans. Cowed by the Party, wonder what happened that ABC gets the interview with Palin? I do not expect a hard interview, especially being that Charlie Gibson is not a journalist to begin with.

The 4th Estate does not exist.

Huffington Post, Daily Kos, TPM are not balanced enough to be viable, mostly dribble from them, and are as bad as the Republican Party when it comes to slant.

This situation is not good for America, but this what happens when the majors are owned by big corporate concerns. It becomes all about ratings, not subtance.

geevil lol, you're hilarious. pray tell, whats going on in your life? hows your grocery bill? whats Mccain's plan going to do for you? why do you personally loath Senator Obama so much? is it because he's not "american" enough? by whose standards? aren't you entitled to all the same rights as natural born citizens? Name one tax code in the Mccain plan that you know you'll benefit from? do you have kids? what about their education? Do you feel like a man born into wealth, has done the minimum amount possible just to get by understands your concerns?

thinking, i suggest the economist.
quite arguably the best news source. fair and balanced.
pbs is a close second.

"You reported this? Why don't you report more important things like the Obama Campaign threw away 12,000 flags in 84 bags into the garbage!!!"
***********************************

Actually they were bagged to be picked up and used by the Democrats, but it seems that the Republicans stole them. They were not in the trash. From the pictures I saw they were neatly bagged, carefully rolled up on their polls etc.

It just goes to show you why there is a great divide in America today. It shows why the politicans are the ones in charge. Remember "WE THE PEOPLE"? Read all these comments from people on the left, people on the right. They talk like its a game. They talk like they are children in the sand box fighting over toys! Adults are kids with bills! Well, some of us are.

a nation where education = elitism.
amazing. lol.

please, try to understand the root of your resentment, your anger, and quite simply, your failure to make any kind of sense as to why, any self respecting middle class individual would vote republican based on the agenda they're running on.

What is the number one issue for the next President?

Abortion NO
Religion NO
Gay rights NO
Terrorism NO
Energy NO
Enviroment NO

ITS THE ECONOMY, STUPID!

So who is better for the American economy, McCain or Obama?

McCain's policies will continue the "trickle down" effect that has been in place for 8 years. The idea is to give more money to the rich, and HOPE they spend some. Ask yourself, "Is it working? Do I still have a job? Do I still have a home? Do I know people who are suffering? Am I paying more for food/gas/interest then I did 8 years ago?" If the answer is "YES" to any of these questions, then the policies that McCain plans to put into place WILL NOT WORK.

Obama's plan will tax the rich who have had it wasy the last 8 years, and use the money to create jobs that make renewable energy devices that will be used to reduce spending outside of the US. Ask yourself, "Will creating more jobs, while trading more products outside of the US, and reducing trade into the US, be good for the economy?" If you say "YES" then you agree with EVERY ECONOMIC ADVISOR(not payed by McCain) that compares the budget plans of McCain and Obama.

Please Americans destroy yourselves by voting for McCain come November. You really dserve it!

a nation where education = elitism.
amazing. lol.

please, try to understand the root of your resentment, your anger, and quite simply, your failure to make any kind of sense as to why, any self respecting middle class individual would vote republican based on the agenda they're running on.

WHO CARES? There are 12 children, some grown and some not between McCain and Palin. McCain three he adopted, one baby Mother Theresa gave Cindy, a baby from Bangaledesh who had a cleft palet and would have died, so Cindy flew home with the baby in her arms(Bridgette) and said to John, "meet our new daughter"...making 7 for them. And we all know Palin's baby son has Downs, but her sister has a 13 year old special needs child too, so it wasn't even a question whether to bring this baby into the world. I LOVED LOOKING AT ALL THE KIDS ON STAGE...3 BOYS SERVING THIS COUNTRY (more than BO ever did). I pray they all stay safe over in Iraq. Watching these 12 young people and their parents is a hell of a lot more interesting than watching the Obama's and their girls.

Thinking..
from the photos I saw, the flags were in with TRASH, not recycle bins. Dems blew this one, and a nice Republican comes along and wants to reuse them, so Boy Scouts and Vets gather them up to hand out at a McCain rally. Get over it...the crowd was told TO TAKE THEM HOME OR LEAVE THEM TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO MEMORIAL SITES.
Axlerod didn't think this one through at the Greecian rock festival that was Obama's big speech (to fit ego).
Thank God, McCain campaign didn't spend 6 mill for him to give his straight talk, real deal speech. McCain got higher ratings, because those of us who know BO's speeches and would never vote for him DIDN'T TUNE IN....history or not.

HP Boston: I read his post at another site and he had agreed as being a paid Mccain staffer. Pretty much it sums it all - all lies.

Palin isn't running for President. McCain is.

WHAT WILL MCCAIN DO TO HELP AMERICA IF I VOTE FOR HIM?

Please, instead of mindless insults, tell me something positive about your candidate.

This is actually a trick question, I do not think he has anything good planned.

And he says he is not an elitist?? My decision is that I will vote AGAINST Obama. I will vote for the lesser of two evils. To not vote is the answer so we are forced to choose the one that will cause the least amount of damage to this country. McCain/Palin

Debra again, please, try to understand the root of your resentment, your anger, and quite simply, your failure to make any kind of sense as to why, any self respecting middle class individual would vote republican based on the agenda they're running on.

I am voting for Obama because:

1) Renewable energy plan

2) International labor/trade plan

3) Tax plan

I haven't read or heard anything about McCain's plan that would be good for me and I am RESPONSIBLE and INTELLEGENT enough to ignore rumors and smear campaigning. I wish more Amercians were more responsible.

The idiots on this blog who say other countries want an Obama Presidency....DUH....other countries don't want us to be #1 anymore and electing Bozo would be a step in that direction. Other countries are jealous of the most powerful nation in the world that gives more aid to others than any country....they want us TO FALL FROM OUR STANDING/PLACE OF NUMERO UNO! Of course they want us to vote Bozo.
McCAIN/PALIN

Two of McCain's sons went to Brophy Prep in Phoenix which is a Catholic (Jesuit) school and not cheap either. His high school Episcopal in Alexandria probably costs well over $20,000 a year. Parents should be entitled to send their children to qualified schools of their choice and if private, to pay for the same. Secret Service protection is required in a candidate is there and we are talking about a relatively short distance from the Obama home

It seems like an overdo to me that Obama would make his kids' first day of school highlighting traffic back ups, extra law enforcement required on duty and all the publicity on his children. Didn't he say he wanted to connect with the "regular folks" I realize he's not one of the regulars now but this seems all about getting himself in the news. Many parents take their children to school on the first day. I hope his kids are having a fun first day at school and the other candidates children as well.

again, for all you dimwits out there.. here it goes.

So whats so elite about Obama?

"The elite charter school costs between $15,000 to $20,000 a year in tuition. Michelle Obama currently sits on the board." That says it all....wealthy elitists pretending to be "common folks". Vote for Palin, someone who is really one of us, and doesn't just pretend to be so for the news cameras.
