He also seems to be all over the map about the Financial crisis. He always looks angry and speaks haltingly at times.

Anyone who bothers to go back and read Obama's speech before the Democratic National Conference 4 years ago will see what a good president he will be if elected.

Rather that seeking to divide this country, the way the Karl Rove GOP machine has sought to do, between white and black, liberal and conservative, urban and rural, Obama told us we are ONE NATION.

We are all Americans. There is common ground if we ask:

How can we reduce the number of abortions?

How can we change the country to use renewable, American sources of energy?

Should we follow the teachings of Jesus and heal the sick?

What do we have to do, adding resources and getting rid of ineffective teachers and schools, to bring up the level of our children's education?

This man who is the product of two ethnic groups, white and black. This man who worked with 6 Catholic parishes to help those laid off when the steel mills closed. This man who became a law professor at a highly rated school. This man represented more people in Illinois than Sarah Palin does as governor of Alaska.

This good man is an example what a great nation this is. If elected, he will act with the welfare of all Americans in his heart.

God bless America!

Obama will use any opportunity to bring up the age card against McCain...the same way he has used the gender card against Hillary and Palin. Luckily, when you do anything to get elected, it becomes very transparent and it forces people to realize he really isn't putting his country first, he is putting himself first. So sad.

Rick - I just have to look and listen to McCain to know
A. How old he is.
B. Confused often enough to cause concern.
In addition, I can SEE Palin is a woman, but it does not change the fact she is ill-equipped and unqualified for the White House. Majorie Snow, Kay Baily Hutchinson + 20 other Republican women all would have been better choices.

Once again, the vindictive and vitriolic tone of the Obama campaign portrays anything but change.

And, as long as we are pointing to gaffes, what about Obama?

The guy’s a perpetual gaffe machine.

Without a teleprompter, his tongue has betrayed him throughout the primaries and the campaign.

Just a few examples of many:

Last year, Obama claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll was 12.

In May, 2008 in Oregon, Obama comments redrew the map of the United States. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States," said Obama. "I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

Also in 2008, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you, Sioux City. ... I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”

In March, 2007, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., Obama claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.

And in perhaps the most seriously troubling gaffe of them all, Obama told a Portland, Oregon, crowd earlier this year that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us.” It seems Obama felt that “tiny countries” (such as Iran) with small defense budgets can’t do us harm.

And, Obama is ridiculing John McCain over comments about Spain?

Perhaps Obama should learn how many states are in the United States, about the threat posed by Iran, and where Sioux Falls, South Dakota is before he comments on what John McCain says to anyone.

And...

As Always...

Anybody But Obama...

Anybody who cannot see the differences between Obama's comments and McCain's actual confusion of basic facts is of low intelligence.

All signs of dementia, doesn't know, can't remember, confused about what he ate, what he did , where he is. Who takes over then.

Obama will try anyway just to get elected.

No way! Nobama!

Ok libs, don't whine when the GOP goes after every comment Obama makes.

This sounds eerily similar to somebody mentioning 57 states. Who was that?

the "age" card is a real card. A 72-year-old US man has a 14-16% chance of dying in the next four years according to actuarial tables. This does not take into account if the man has had multiple previous cancers. It is also notable that at that age, the risk of mental impairment (stroke, dementia, etc) also increse notably.

so, if you're a big fan of governor palin - rejoice! she has a 20-25% chance of being president before the next election if mccain wins.

and, for someone so bellicose, I wish he knew who was in NATO and who isn't. honestly, i think the stress is wearing on him and this week he's had a ton of misspeaks.

Jayhawk,

You needed to go all the way to Memorial Day to make a point about Obama. One only needs to go to 10am to make the point about mcCain. And yestarday, and Wednesday and Tuesday and Monday...........

Get the point??

One gaffe over a period of months is swept under the rug.

A gaffe a day is cause for concern.

Like the GOP wouldn't have gone after Obama's misspeaks... It's politics, no whining or crying from either side.

Jayhawk, doesn't McCain's lack of knowledge about basic facts trouble you. Partisn loyalty is one thing, but to so blindly support this man whose mental faculties are clearly deteriorating is quite another. He doesn't know the difference between Shia and sunni and THIS IS REALLY A BIG DEAL, doesn't know that Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border and wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years. He also thinks Czekhoslavakia is still a country and Putin is the president of Germany. He thinks Spain in in Latin America and his VP pick wants to have a war with Russia over Georgia. Clearly, this man is sliding towrads senility and he has now become Karl Rove's disciple which is about as sleazy as one can get in life.

Hey, isosure,

Don't be so sure.

The point was that those comments were among those made before the teleprompter scripted every word that your messiah says.

Get it?

And, get ready to read about some of the more recent gaffes that brought on the teleprompter.

Anybody But Obama...

Keep trying Obama. Keep trying.... Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah....

Talk issues and position. Your loosing the independant vote. You have already lost mine...

How to spot a fake blogger: They are always talking about "losing my vote".

Honestly, no one on here cares who you are or how you will vote. Sorry if that hurts your feelings. Vote for whomever you choose, but saying once or a thousand times with whichever nickname you want doesn't convince anyone of anything.

nice recitation of talking points. I'll take one. Others can debunk the rest of your copy/paste if they want.

Obama said that Iran was a tiny threat to the US compared to the threat posed by the Soviet Union in the cold war. Care to dispute that?

chris: the republicans are trying to deregulate health care. they blindly support the insurance lobby medicare advantage programs which cost more to administer than medicare, do not provide better healthcare for the elderly, and pay doctors less. the latter will eventually lead to the ultimate deregulation, when doctors stop accepting medicare or reduce the number of new medicare patients they accept. it almost happened this year. it will happen in 2010 if a 20% scheduled cut to doctors goes through as the republicans plan.

A fake blogger?

So, now there is a formal definition of a "blogger?"

Or, is that title reserved for the paid bots?

But, you are probably right about votes not counting.

Just remember, George Bush didn't need to win an election to be elected President...twice.

Chances are it will turn out the same this time.

"Blogger" or not.

Anybody But Obama...

Obama is putting it nice. McCain had a senior momeny again. This will go on and on. We do not need McCain and his costant gaffes at any important meeting. He will destroy our international affairs.
