Obama shows he has class.

McCain betrays America with his dishonest, dishonorable campaign.

I'M VOTING OBAMA.

great decision

Ed, I agree. Every independent news outlet knows that McCain is telling flat out lie after lie. We don't need that.

He should go on SNL, not as a cameo joke thing he was gonna do. But just to ask for support for victims of Ike.

Obama truly cares for the american people, unlike lying McSame!

don't be obamatized .. he is worried about the "celebrity" label ... why is he going to N.H. right in the midst of when the hurricane is supposed to hit? ... and then flying back to Chicago?
......... McCain is probably receiving all the same information .. but he doesn't use it for political gain!!

Every McCain ad smear exposed:

Francisco Cardenas:

Please don't hide behind Hillary's pantsuit in your support of John McSame. No one who supports Hillary could possibly adopt the politics of Bush/Cheney III and subject this country to four years of McSame/Impalin'.

Enough

Obama/Biden 08

Something has happened in the campaign.
He would not have missed this opportunity he and his people had been pretty smart. Where was Michelle on 9/11 and where was he on 9/12.

jackt51 ... I would rather have 4 years of McCain with the possibility of Hillary being elected in 2012 .. than 4 years of Obama ... you may be able to dismiss the fact that he spent 20+ years in an anti-American church where the minister shouted "God da**mn America" and the audience screamed their approval ... and then Obama lied about it ... 20+ years!! ... think about it!!

You Should look in a mirror about smears. Both with a dirty political campaign instead of on knowledge and policies based campaign. Who wants to be the first?

Obama is an honorable man who respects the struggle of all Americans. His compassion toward those in the path of hurricane destruction, is the same compassion he has toward those in the path of war and economic hardship. That's why he cancelled his SNL appearance. He is a true leader. You get what you see. No lipstick here.

Just use the facts.

bob10001 ... his history does not recommend him as an honorable man.

I think he should go on SNL --- SNL needs the ratings -- and besides -- Hussein Obama is a joke!! Hell - he doesn't even put his hand over his heart when the Anthem is being played. He cares about the people,, is that why he had his big deal in a football stadium? H is a fake. And he just may be a great community organizer,,,, is that like a playground supervisor?

I am so tired of McLames lies!!

he says he is a war hero but treated his first wife like a throwaway after she was in a horrible auto accident while he was in vietman.came home and had AFFAIRS and then met Cindy and Asked for a divorce.MORALS??? make sure to see Ross Perots accessment of the wackjob McCain.Perot is the one that paid McCains wifes hospital bills while he was a POW and got him into politics after....chilling!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html

Mike, go put some lipstick and shut up!

Monitor the storm? That's what the rest of the country is doing. Not enough viewers left for you on SNL, Obama?

Lol,

Somehow there had to be a political agenda with this....

Leave it to the bottom feeders to 'find' one.

He's probably been crying and his eyes are all puffy.

Republicans lost 25% of their convention to Gustav, so why shouldn't BO put aside a star turn on SNL. He and Biden should sit out the whole week come to think of it.

Geez, guy can't win for trying. Go on SNL, he's a celebrity. Stay home, he's trying to look good for the media. Why can't it just be that he cares about what people are going through and chooses to be respectful? He's not the sort to fiddle while Rome burns (that's a colloquialism, not an attack, Republicans) -- why fault him for that?

There isn't anything this man does not do that isn't all about him. I don't think for a minute he gives a fig for Americans the way McCain has/does. He could never earn my vote and he shouldn't earn the WH...his ego with his 6 million $$ Grecian rock stadium...always grandstanding! He will have a crappy Sat. night when he's not mugging for the cameras at SNL. This guy loves attention and ego feeding. Never B. Hussein.

Obama should get Michael Phelps (the host of SNL's season opener) and go to Texas in a boat a la Sean Penn and have Phelps swim out and rescue people ! (I would prefer Mark Spitz.) Don't tell the press, just do it. J.H.C!! now that would be a maverick. I'd vote for that! But in America, it's better to just appear to be concerned. btw, Im voting for O but I was an Edwards supporter early on. Obama should put Edwards on the stump to suck all the oxygen away from Palin. The press would explode! For God's sake, he was the MOST progressive candidate in the top tier. The only economic populist. The only one addressing poverty and corporate power, and the only one who would hold the Bush administration accountable. But don't hold your breath because the Democrats will never play offense or do something so bold. I have to give it to McCain on that front. Oh, the John Kerry of it all...

I guess Obama is concern with Texas because it has more votes than Louisiana. He certainly is not worry about the thousands of homes that have been hit by the two storms in the last ten days. I would like to know where Michelle was on 9/11. I guess she was home taking care of the children like he and Charlie Gibson think Sara Palin should do since she is a woman. I wonder if he will put his family first before his country or if only a woman has that issue to deal with. I wish someone would ask that question of him.

What did Rumsfeld say about the republican base? Something about 'dead-enders'?

1) To those questions I've seen on these blogs repeatedly regarding where was Michelle Obama on 9/11 (and I wonder what this has to do with the content of this article): she was in Chicago because their girls' school was starting.

2) Regarding this article: Obama does the right thing and keeps to the background. Unlike McCain, who staged a big photo-op during Gustav - getting in the way of everyone - and the GOP who made some crocodile tears on the first day of their convention (but at least it was an improvement over three years ago, what with the cake eating and shoe shopping...)

I think when they name an aircraft carrier after President Obama they should break with tradition and spell out his middle initial: USS Barack Hussein Obama

To RJMP I wish someone would ask Sarah Palin how old she believes the earth is and if dinosaurs should be renamed Jesus horses .

God Bless Obama and those that support this fine man - Our next President of the United States! Man that looks good after eight years of American decline!

Message to all conservatives: Greed is the root of all evil.

Obama's website? Currently asking for visitors to give to the Red Cross or Save the Children to assist families displaced by Hurricane Ike. McCain's website? Currently displaying it's latest smear ad without a mention of a storm that is destroying the Texas and Louisiana coasts.
As a person who currently does not know if she has a home to return to, I see at least one candidate who is concerned for others.

Go back to your cave. You are a worthless human being to say something like that with what's happening in Texas. Why don't you go volunteer like Obama has done and suggests we all should too instead of posting hate filled messages and sit on your butt!

God Bless the Ike victims.

Hmmm... didn't mccain goto lousiana during gustav ?? McCain exploited the victims of 9/11 for political purposes during the GOP convention in that video. As someone who lost my cousin I was appalled, so don't get me started on political gain. btw, did u know he's a POW ?

Hillary lost the primary for 3 reasons:

1) poor campaign organisation

2) negative ads

3) too much lies

I like Hillary very much, but this is not sexism to say she missed her campaign. The more McCain will go negative and untrue, the more the american people will see the same old samed old republican tactics.
It works 2 times, but it won't work this time.

The Palin aura will not fade so quickly, but it appears that the tandem Obama/Biden is better balanced that an out-of-touch McCain/versus hockey mom Palin. There is more policy differences between Palin and (the real) Mc Cain, that between McCain and Obama. They differ on abortion, stem cells, climate change, earmarks, energy. Mc Cain took Palin for political reasons and for that, he (and not the MSM or Obama campaign) must be considered as sexist.

Good Job!

Palin pales in comparison to Hillary. Any woman voter who has any respect for all that Hillary stands for should not be voting for Palin. Hillary is a powerful woman - in thoughts, in action, and in being a symbolic respresentation for all women who want to go all out and achieve more in life and career. If just being a woman and having to cope with family problems is a qualifier for running for public office, then every woman I know should qualify as a candidate. McCain picked Palin because Obama didn't pick a woman to run beside him. After seeing more of Palin's dirty linen out on the street and after having seen 8 years of the Republicans, Americans need no better reason to choose Democrats for the office this year.

What's the difference between George Bush and Sarah Palin?

Lipstick.

Phony.

Don't leave Cheney out now :)

If you want to get into preacher issues: Sarah Palin's preacher said, (while she was beside him) that everyone will come to Alaska from the lower 48 when the "End Times" come so they had better be prepared by improving infrastructure, etc. He also invited the Jews for Jesus nut to their church and they gave that idiot money. Jews for Jesus has been denounced by every denomination of Judaism and will that will certainly NOT help the GOP ticket in Florida.

This idea that Rev. Wright said something inflammatory every single sermon over his 35 plus year career and Obama in the pew every single time is ridiculous. He mentioned in his book that he and Michelle attended a couple times a month and even less after the children came and grew up. Less than 30 seconds of soundbites after 35 plus years tells me that Rev. Wright is probably not as controversial as Palin's "speaking in tongues" pastor.

People who are attacking Obama for this move don't have all the facts. During Gustav, Obama used his website, his email and text message networks to get his supporters involved in relief efforts. He didn't make a big deal out of it and he didn't use that for political gain. you can call him all the names you want, but he is a good man. He was there in Iowa during the floods earlier this year. He does not grandstand and make a show of his "service" like some candidates who constantly want to tell you how noble they are. He just gets to work - and the reason you don't know about it is because it's NOT "political," just part of his commitment to grassroots change, and all of us coming together to make our country work again.

As someone who has family in this storm, I appreciate the Senator's choice (though I wouldn't have blamed him for going on with the appearance). And I *don't* appreciate people making rude comments here, about this. Just take it to another topic for once. Just for once, okay? Be mean about Obama somewhere else, and all the McCain haters can be mean about him somewhere else. Can't there just be some times when we're good to each other? Is that totally too much to ask?

*****************BUH BYE**************

Democratic Party Convention has no single theme! If you notice, Obama kept saying the word change and hope. He basically saying that he wants to run the country on policies of the old democratic policies. That is not new. It will increase government and debt! His tax cut is really welfare checks! Think about it, 40% of us do not pay taxes. So, he say 95% will get a cut in taxes. He is giveing those who are not paying taxes money. So, he will increase debt in the light of bailing out mortgage firms and in a slowing down economy. Plus, if you re-watch his videos from early may and now, you notice he just say things that his crowd want to hear or who ever he is speaking too. He is getting more careful in what he is saying now, but he has lied more than anyone. He knows that the media is doing the job that he wants his VP to do, attack. I am sure he is using his money to fund major networks like ABC, CNN. Money do corrupt media!

Good move canceling the SNL performance. Now the Obamessiah can get down to Texas and lower that sea! That would be some change we could believe in!

You know that if Obama went on SNL the Republican slime machine would have been all over him. Republicans have no plans to help struggling Americans, all the Republicans want to do is to create diversions and distractions. They are divisive and dishonest. Where are your plans McCain? Obama has specific plans for each and every issue. We need the Democrats to take over to get out of this Republican-made mess.

He'd Rather Win The Election Than Portray The Truth

John McCain ran an honorable campaign in 2000.

He was beaten due to scurrilous dishonesty.

He's learned the lesson well.

He's hired those who did this to him.

And now, they are doing it again.

McCain has said that he would rather win the war than win the election.

In fact, as we have seen time after time this week, he would apparently rather win the election than convey the truth.

This approach brought us George W. Bush--and the dissembling, half-truths, omissions and distortions to come. And the tragic consequences that have followed for individuals and families across the nation and the world.

As Americans, we often have short memories and powerful impulses. We tend to act on the latter. This is why history can repeat itself.

Remember. Remember how riled up by emotion many became last time. By impulse. Without thought. Remember the statements that were made. Remember the realities that followed. Remember.

You can feel what you feel now--anger, aggression, glee, without examination of the underlying truth--for a moment.

You will live for the consequences for years, decades--perhaps for the rest of your life.

Remember the thoughts and feelings that preceded these last 8 years.

Remember.

According to the non-partisan FactCheck.org (http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/factchecking_mccain.html), McCain has strained the truth about health care. About small business. About education. About taxes. About corporate welfare. About energy independence. About free trade.

We've seen this before.

We were distracted from the truth in just the same way before.

And we've lived the consequences--for the past 8 years.

This is the way we need to change the world: By realizing what is true, rather than realizing what emotes us for the moment.

Think.

Remember.

And act accordingly for our future.

Francisco Cardenas, stop repeating that same old lie that has been out there for months. You take a lot of pride in your ignorance, don't you?

Kudos RationalDem. Fabulous post about a very classy human being.
I also heard Mr. Obama say quietly recently that with all the secret service and hoopla that accompanies any kind of appearance now, that he would only be in the way and causing undo stress to those just trying to do their jobs as first responders.

Just to change direction for a moment: Has anyone considered that Hillary Clinton didn't want the VP nomination?? She has now the most powerful voice in the senate and will get much more accomplished there then in the White House.

Good Lord! The bottom of the barrell; welfare queens, convicts, hos, fatherless generation, muslims wearing US flag pins, rappers, liberals, Africans, scum free louders are taking over our beloved country.

A vote for Obama, raised muslim in Indonesia, is a vote for AlQuaida and all the scum of the Earth. Obama is the enemy. Stand up America, Vote for the man who served our country in flesh and blood; HERO Senator John McCain.

Mrs Phoenix = racist idiot

"Obama is the enemy?"

No, actually it's people like you. You are the one of the biggest problems this nation faces. Stupid ass people who don't see AMERICA was formed to be a diverse nation. And it is, so grow up and get used to it.

Defeating morons with mentalities like yourself is a key reason people want Obama.

McCain is a bumbling Magoo who sold his "mverick" status to try and get elected. He can't even stand up to his own party to get the running mate HE wanted. (Liberman) His beauty pagent sidekick proved to know nothing about the things ANY potential Vice President should know when asked very basic question. She's good a spewing overly rehersed lines though.

One candidate is a Harvard Law school graduate with a concentration on international law and international relations.The other finished in the BOTTOM 1% of his class after his daddy got him into the academy.

One man is self made and has had nothing handed to him. He's had to work for it. The other had his daddy get him started, the he dumped his wife to marry a younger, rich heiress. A real American "hero" right?

Obama has a plan for his nation that will benefit over 85% of the people. McCain has a replica of the Bush plan which benefits the top 2% of the wealthiest people in America.

Palin tried to get "You can't blink" to catch on as a slogan. Perhaps for many supporting McCain and Palin, it should be "You can't think".

The crap about Obama being a celeb makes me want to puke. McCain has NEVER been one to shy away from guesting on SNL himself. The difference is that Obama inspires a lot of people. McCain's campaign was boring a lot of people until he put Palin on the ticket. By the way how is it that we expect ANY president or presidential candidate to be visible and show support when disaster strikes, and yet for some of you, if Obama does that it's supposedly his ego or selfishness. Sounds to me like you are imposing your views on his good actions to come up with a highly negative interpretation of what he's doing. What have we come to when a man tries to use his campaign resources to HELP people and you say "he thinks he's the messiah?" What looking glass have YOU gone through? Good is now evil if Obama does it, and lies are now truth if McCain is the one saying them? The fact is he cares and is showing it like any leader should. It's called leadership. If you can't acknowledge that, you are a pathetic human being.

Obama, Uniter of Scum on Earth. Obama and Mrs. Bitter Obama, typical first class affirmative action welfare handouts. Obama and bitter wife Hate America along with his radical African God D*mn America pastor Wright.

McCain, American Hero. Defended America in flesh and blood. The McCain family's contribution to America goes back to George Washington. Obama scum of Earth.

I would rather have 4 years in my crusty underwear than be smart. Vote Doofus, Vote McCain.

I wonder how McCain feels about Palin's status as new celebrity?!
I can see the McCain ad now:
'After the crowds leave, the same old Sarah (Barracuda Sarah), banning books,
building a bridge to no where, making deals with Washington insiders, talking reform but not doing reform.
Not ready to lead."

Hey True(?) Patriot,

Because you are white and have sex with African men, that does not add to diversity in my America. That adds to more whiteness in Kenya.

I would respect Obama more if he went to Keynia and uplifted his people, instead of tearing down our great Nation to be like his third world Keynia in the continent of Africa.

Facts add up to racism to you. NO Obama bastard son of nobodies.

america is not a nation that was formed to be a diverse nation.

it actually is just white people keeping minorities low on the totem pole. women aren't given a true chance - hillary and now palin are wonderful examples how they are just getting clobbered in the media and people never/aren't taking them seriously. gays don't have rights - i don't care about marriage rights - but they can't even have a say on how their money or assets are given to when they die (ie, their partners, etc).; and african americans and hispanics are left to keep the country clean and rich white people's butts clean.

now mind you, i don't support obama. he is weak. doesn't have the experience to move this country forward or protect it. i was supporting hillary because she at least would have bill on her side plus she always was able to articulate the issues and how she was going to resolve them.

however, i don't have that choice anymore. hillary is not on the ballot. i am interested in the safety of this country and experience. i also have confidence with palin on the ticket now, that there will be change forthcoming.

the obama negative ads and every single time i see obama bickering on tv about how mccain said something bad about him, or how mccain didn't play fair, or how mccain put on some lipstick...it's just stupid!!!! obama is wasting all his time complaining about mccain rather than teaching me his ideas or describe what change he plans to do and how he is going to do it.

mccain is not a replica of the bush plan.

mccain is not more of the same.

mccain and palin are true agents of change.

mccain and palin will have the experience needed to change things.

how funny that obama says he will use the brightest minds to run the country - why because he doesn't have one of his own?

at least mccain will know how to run this country. but i am also very pleased to learn that he will have a bipartisan cabinet and bring this country together.

i was willing to have obama in 2012 or 2016 when he got more involved in the senate and did some real work to show off what he could do - but he is just as wet behind the ears as Palin and well, he is the one taking the Presidency. everyone has been so mortified that palin is that close to being president - shoot! has anyone thought that Obama is running for that position??? hello????!!!!!

obama get some real world experience and write some laws that become laws - not just books that propaganda your past and bring nothing to this country other than more money in your pocket.

*

yeah obama may use his website to bring attention to these causes and not bother going there - is that the kind of president you want - to run the country through is web site and not even go to the places where tragedy strikes???? do you want a president who will share his latest secret via text message at 3 am? bush may be a lot at his home in texas but i can picture obama being at his home running the country over internet.

get real.

mccain palin 08

I am sorry I sobered up a bit. Whiskey does affect me so. That and my constant flatualenc, Wow do I stink! My nckname is skunky skivvies Now that I am no longer insane, VOTE OBAMA.

Oh wait, I just spilled my pe e bottle on my couch. I keep it near by so i don't have to get up, I can keep bloggin all the while I drink whickey and far t. Boy I smell like as-s

Palin had a baby 4 months ago, right, which one of her teenage banging daughters actually did have Tracks kid?
McCain = Insane Old Man
Palin = Hick incester

Know why I am happy? I have my naked little boys right here in my trailer with me. Loving It!

mccanus i doubt you know your real mother.

MRS PHOENIX, YOUR RIGHT ON THE MONEY, OBAMA WOULD WALK RIGHT PASS DROWNING GULF COAST AMERICAN'S TO GET TO SNL IF HE HAD HIS WAY, BACK TO CHICAGO TO CRY OVER MISSING ANOTHER "CELEB" EVENT. MAYBE IF ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT GOES TO HOUSTON HE MIGHT MAKE A CAMEO. YOU DEMS DONT FORGET HILLARY WAS ON SNL A FEW TIMES ALSO, AND LIKE SHE SAID WHY CANT HE CLOSE THE DEAL??????? ANSWER THIS DEMS. WHY IS MCCAIN UP IN POLLS AND LEADING IN SOME? MAYBE HE IS CLOSING THE DEAL!!!

I'm glade that Obama and Biden are taking a break. They rest their jaws from putting their foots in their mouths.

Can someone please tell me what change McCain is going to bring? I'm so tired of the uninform deciding our elections.No wonder everybody outside of the United States hate us because we have too many stupid people.

"I also heard Mr. Obama say quietly recently that with all the secret service and hoopla that accompanies any kind of appearance now, that he would only be in the way and causing undo stress to those just trying to do their jobs as first responders."

As an undecided voter I find this extremely hypocritical considering when President Bush used this same reason for not visiting Disaster areas (not just H Katrina)the left in the US rallied against him again and again.
But when Sen Obama says exactly the same thing it is to be praised.

More recent I have heard McCain be attacked by some in the left for using this reason as well in the Gustav aftermath.

This is not a matter of class but common sense.

ALSO

I noticed the FACT CHECK section is dishonest.
Sen Palin said 'I think if you go back in history and ask that question of MANY vice presidents they may have the same answer'

The fact check response was.

'But if you were to ask every living vice president.........'

I guess you hear what you want to hear because she DIDN'T SAY LIVING
SHE SAID MANY!!!!! And she qualified it with 'in history'

I am sorry but when even the ABC FACT CHECK video is faulty they have lost all credibility in being honest and fair in reporting on the election of this year. You can not compare those two statements. They are NOT equal. She did not SAY LIVING that was added by the person who did the evaluation.
EITHER a honest mistake or very DISHONEST and regardless it is and should be corrected. Even if corrected how many people now have a faulty view of that point because of ABC. And how has it hurt her standing with the American people??? With every vote so important in this tight race ABC should be more sensitive to errors in its reporting. Not professional at all.

That and the 'interesting' edits in Gov. Palins response to the religion question(ABC you know what I am talking about)If any one would compare the official transcript and the broadcast you will find many 'questionable' and 'interesting in their placement edits'.

I am sure this (FACT CHECK ERROR) will not be a news item and there will not be an apology to the viewers and to Gov Palin. But then she should have a thick hide because... why?? Oh she might be confronted with more untruths from one of the three broadcast news outlets???

With all the false rumors about Gov Palins readiness to be VP ABC should not add more fuel to the fire.

JAMES, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT CHANGE OBAMA IS GOING TO BRING? WE HEAR ALOT ABOUT IT BUT.......... MCCAIN HAS 20 PLUS YEARS TO OBAMA'S 2 YEARS AS A SENATOR.WHILE OBAMA WAS IN CHURCH LISTENING TO GOD D**N AMERICA MCCAIN WAS FIGHTING FOR IT. GET REAL PEOPLE

What took him so long to cancel? The hurricane has been barreling toward Texas for days and he just cancels today. Could it be the Jake Tapper article
"When He's Facing a Tough Woman...Obama Goes on 'SNL'? Maybe that made him think.

What exactly is Obama going to do to help in the Hurricane crisis? This is just another way to make Obama look like he is so Great. McCain chooses to not use things like a national crisis to get political gain!

Obama should have taken the opportunity to go on to ask for help for the victims of Ike.

Obama is selfish and did not want to waste an appearance on people without power--he can't be seen so why go on stage.

Obama should have taken the opportunity to go on to ask for help for the victims of Ike.
===
he has.. in my email from his site this morning.. same with last storm.
He collected millions to help.
Of course you don't know that since you don't get his requests.
I wonder what Ms. Palin, the **celebrity**,
is doing to help the victims of Ike?

Normally if it was someone else canceling anything, I would accept it. But this is Obama - the massive entertainer who is willing to cancel anything and everything to get align with popular polls.

will Gov. Palin, the celebrity, do anything to help the victims?
Send moose meat perhaps?

Be aware - the honorable campaign of McCain/Palin is attending to use foreclosure lists to block forclosed home owners the right to vote. It is a tactic known as "voter caging". Educate yourself, your right to vote may be challenged by republicans.

I wonder why any politician would not use any free TV coverage.

Why wouldn't a FREE TV and ADVERTISED FREE appearance be used as a platform to ask Americans to prepare to help fellow Americans in need. Or consider donating blood if might be needed etc etc.

I find this very odd he would cancel also because he is more than capable of saying any message he wants in addition to the 'comedy' and I don't think the shows producers would say no to Sen Obama and a 'call to help' fellow Americans. Couldn't he have said

[after the skit he might be in] thank you making people laugh is a fun but a serious situation is taking place and let me take this opportunity to not only entertain but to ask Americans to aid....

or something like that. {they have professionals Obama should be able to do much better)

Would think that would help too.

Just my two cents

"Normally if it was someone else canceling anything, I would accept it. But this is Obama - the massive entertainer who is willing to cancel anything and everything to get align with popular polls."
**************************************

So I see that John Palin is not on the ground for Ike as she was for Gustav. Huston doesn't count I guess it is already McCain territory. Speaking of which where is he. Who is the John Palin person anyway?

jackt51

You are so funny...

Palin and her husband supported the anti American Alaska Independence party, its goal to seceed from the Union, for a decade or more.

The party's leader didn't want to be buried under our 'damned flag', which Palin does not mention when she attends their meetings.
