Puzzled? AMERICA is NOT...he has NO EXECUTIVE experience! NOTICE he COULD not even answer the question! He is just an speech person, no direction when it comes to REALLY having to do anything!

I can't wait for him to be chewed up in the debates, we saw how he parroted Hillary and could not even come close to her! I can't wait..! IF he agrees, he loves to back out of people being able to go toe to toe with him! I noticed too his crowds are shrinking! More people watched McCain than Obama and that gives me a great relief that AMERICA wants MORE than "just words"!

Republicans are such HYPOCRITES when they talk about "service" but then totally laugh at community organizers.

Important community organizers throughout the ages:

Martin Luther King
Susan B. Anthony
Ghandi
Jesus Christ

Perhaps the reason they joked about Obamas community organizer stint is because immediately after the announcement of Palin, Obama's camp derided her by downplaying her as just a mayor from a small town in Alaska. Now Roland Martin and the "incredulous crowd" fein disgust at this slight to community organizers. It was not a slight but a direct counter attack to the Obama camp's critical and sarcastic statement about her experience.

Yep, Christ was a community organizer, and Ponches Pilot was a Governor.

Obama puzzeled by community organizer attacks shows what a shallow person he is. He mocked Pallin as a small town mayor and she just replied to his attack. He lost that one.

Sarah Palin and Mc Cain ? Thanks but no thanks

Let's talk about Palin's experience. First, when Tim Kaine was being considered for VP, Karl Rove was on television talking about how he was only the Mayor of a city of 200,000 and how that was not the right experience to have in the White House. Now that Palin has been picked, being the Mayor of a city of 9,000 is great experience to have in the White House.

Palin was picked because she has a vagina and is pro-life. As the Mayor of a little village she left the town millions of dollars in dept because she wanted to build a sports center that has yet to be built. As the Governor of the biggest welfare state in the union she was for all that pork before she was against it. Throughout her tenure in office she has also been vindictive -- see Troopergate.

Bottom line, if she were so qualified why is it that she refuses to be interviewed as both Obama and Biden are being interviewed right now?

Simple, she isn't qualified to talk to the press because she doesn't know the answers to those questions.

None of the New Englanders I've spoken with (I live in CT) dismiss Palin as "trash," as Brooks suggested. Palin's "small town" act is disturbing, not because it makes her seem "trashy," but because it is an extension of the current Republican charade of "populism" -- a charade acted out by a wealthy elite. Her feminism is out-dated: a 1980s Superwoman feminism of pit-bull beauty-queen work-a-holics (feminism in this century works to give women recovery time after childbirth, offers job-share employment, etc). Her "small town" values don't represent the average small town family (as most small town folk actually respect people who do service to help the urban poor), and her "maverick" act doesn't admit she is now a scripted performer for the party that has been controlling our country for 8 years. Trashy? No. Hypocritical? Yes.

Community Organizing is an area that gives voice to those that has no representation in our society and brings their issues to the politicians. Why is McCain against that when he goes to New Orleans after the fact and pretends to care.

George claimed Plain and Gulliani were being racists. What?

Even the rest of world are astonished how come McCain has made such a choice!

A lot of discussion about American election 2008.

pretjene, the little pitbull hockeymom from Alaska doesn't have any executive experience either, she's just holding down the position.
McCain doesn't have executive experience, but you call yourself belittling a man that has a political science degree and a law degree, trying to compare the two is apples and oranges. Try comparing McCain to Obama, not comparing Obama to Caribou Barbie.

Obama has the education level, she doesn't.
He has proven his worth in the Legislative branch, she hasn't proven anything in the Executive position.

When the little lady was mayor, she had to hire an administrator to assist her, otherwise, the public was ready to put out a recall. In other words, she had no clue what she was doing. All she's doing now is abusing her power in office. The proof is in the investigation.

HEY I USE TO WORK AT BURGER KING. DOES THAT QUALIFY ME TO RUN THE COUNTRY?

In case you didn't know, I speak for Keith. Thanks!

Apparently it does Jake.

We don't need intelligent people to run this country. You can lead the country if you're religious and anti-abortion. That's all that matters.
We no longer worry about foreign policy and national security.

I don't even care what Obama says anymore. Nothing about him is honorable or authentic. Everything about him is marketed, and I don't buy it.

Important community organizers throughout the ages:

Martin Luther King
Susan B. Anthony

Mark, these are not community organizer. These are leaders, people who changed people's lives. Let's hear from the people who's lives that Barack Obama changed. Line them up or may that how he organized them!

Get ready for "Ferraro" Community Organizers !!!

The "Play Victim Card" that Obama pulled on Geraldine Ferraro will return to bite Obama/Biden this Fall.

Ferraro remains angry at the “sexist treatment” of Mrs Clinton by the media. “In New Hampshire, someone put up a sign saying ‘Iron My Shirt’. Nobody spoke out. Imagine if Hillary’s supporters had said [to Obama] "SHINE MY SHOES". Everybody would quite rightly have been jumping on it. Women in politics should not be treated better than men, just FAIRLY.”

A host of "Ferraro Bridgade" will be pulling the lever this Fall. I do not want to speculate how they will be voting...but IT IS GOING TO BE a BLOC to be RECKONED with, now that PALIN on McCain ticket !!!

Complex issues around the world, complex issues involving this country need intelligent leaders, not someone who took 6 yrs and 6 different schools to get a 4 yr degree in journalism with a minor in sportscasting.

The RNC stole Obama's words. Obama was the first to say we need change. That's what Republicans do -- they are thiefs. They stole our Social Security surplus, the price of gas has tripled since the Republicans took over, the coutry is in a recession, there are fewer jobs. DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY. THEY WILL PROMISE EVERYTHING AND STEAL EVERYTHING FOR THEMSELVES.

To say that government needs change is saying they are not happy with their own party's leadership. Do you really believe that McCain is going to change the Republican party agenda of stealing and lieing -- Of course not. Palin scares me to death. Is this a woman. She sounds more like a man. She wants to take all of the rights women have won and throw all of that away. She is definitly not what we have been looking for. She sounds like a real hard ass and manipulator.
