Poor Obama.
Tricked out a lot of his pre-debate cramming time, and subjected to the mental game of an on-again, off-again event.
Maybe this whole thing is just way over his pay grade...

And he's been rubbing us the wrong way ever since!

Jon Do,

Obama will surprise you and the other Republicans.

McOldman is toast.

We are having Chicken Little McScared for diner tonite.

I've got it... This whole McCain fly to Washington save the world thing, is a political move, but not the move we thought it was.... He is trying to show he is not tight with Bush... the whole thing is a plot to make us think that the Repugs are pulling away from their leader.... OMG... why did I not see this yesterday.... Bush keeps yelling pass the plan and McCain and his clones are refusing. If I am right, it backfired on him to.. LOLOL

McCain leads, Obama follows

The neat thing about a presidential race between two Senators is that voters can make direct comparisons between the candidates that otherwise are not possible. This year, the comparisons work in John McCain's favor.

McCain pushed for the "surge" in Iraq. Obama opposed it, saying it wouldn't work. When it worked, Obama said he knew it would work, but defended his vote anyway.

Two years ago, McCain warned that Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac were in serious need of reform and he so-sponsored legislation to reform it. Obama did not support this legislation, which the Democrats blocked. Obama was near the top of the list of recipients of contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, and two executives from these outfits were among his campaign advisors.

McCain also had the right line on the Russian invasion of Georgia (though this was not a legislative issue). As Rudy Giuliani recounted at the Republican Convention, Obama waffled for a while and eventually adopted McCain's view. McCain led; Obama followed

Most recently, McCain figured out that he needed to get back to Washington to engage, and if possible provide leadership in, the momentous issue of the financial sector bailout. While McCain opted to help make something happen, Obama said he could be reached by phone if anything did happen.

Obama's position was untenable, so he eventually followed McCain back to Washington.

Hoping to cover for their "follower" of a presidential candidate, Democrats are claiming that McCain has done more harm than good in the legislative debate. Although this is always a possibility with McCain (and, indeed, just about anyone who is willing to lead), the Democrats' case is absurd.

Their argument is that Congress was on the verge of a deal until McCain entered the picture and caused Republican House members to block it. The problems with this script are several. First, there is no evidence that House Republicans were ever on board with any deal. Second, the support of House Republicans is not needed to pass bailout legislation. The Democrats control the House.

The Democrats counter the second point by saying that a majority of House Dems won't support a deal unless House Republicans provide "cover." But this argument raises more problems than it addresses. First, it is a serious condemnation of House Dems (too gutless to do what they think is right, even in the face of a potential economic meltdown). Second it is a serious condemnation of Nancy Pelosi (too ineffective to whip her troops into line even in the face of a potential economic meltdown). Third, it casts serious doubt on the wisdom of the deal that McCain is falsely accused of scuttling. If the deal made sense, House Dems wouldn't believe they need "cover" from House Republicans.

Fourth, the "cover" argument shows what a non-factor Obama is in all of this. The Dems complain (preposterously) that McCain has riled up House Republicans or failed to bring them around. Meanwhile, no one seems to be asking why Obama hasn't helped the House leadership obtain sufficient support from House Dems.

There's a reason why this question isn't being asked. Obama is lightweight from whom leadership is not, and should not, be expected.

Jon Do,

If you truly believe that what McCain has done over the last 48 hours is an attempt to "trick" Obama out of prep time, then you deserve a president like McCain: cynical, self-serving, and clearly mercurial when under pressure.

McCain is the LEADER we need in America
OBama is a FRAUD
McCain is doing his JOB
Obama was forced to go to DC by Bush
Obama is more concerned with a debate - that can take place anytime -
the time to fix America is NOW

McCain/Palin - a Team we can TRUST

DO A BARREL ROLL!

The only think to Really worry about debating, is, can those surronded by corrupt money, is turned Clinton from Deocrates. And seems to buy fixed records. What if Clinton, and Rick Davis, knew they could buy anybody they wanted. It Fixed McCains Record in the past. And Do not, forget how it bought, Nixons election. I am sure, that special interest groups, who have paid lobbiests, could fix any paperwork. Clinton, had bought de-regulatios, paperwork fixers, and now McCain will have to distance himself, from Rick Davis and Clinton scandels. After all, what if they try to buy Joe Biden. They made Obamas paperwork disappear before. After all, the FBI has been bought before. Those special interest groups, are still on Wall Street, and in other postistion in HIGH Government. McCain should not Debate Obama. McCain is still best friends with Clinton, and has covered up Rick Davis' Paperwork as best as he could. The 'Secret Government', is still in place. We WILL remember McCain has been in Government, a LONG TIME. Imagine that McCain has MORE POWER to fix the POLLS, and FIX PAPERWORK. How Will AMERICANS, Be able to trust a MYTHICAL SECRET ILLUMINATI. The Debates should NOT go on.

McCain - Palin '08 "Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk"

I'll bet McCain would go for a good back run to ease his mind on the bailout before he hits the stage...

LEADERSHIP: CHANGE!
Follower: Change is Coming.

LEADERSHIP: FOR THE PEOPLE!
Follower: People? What people? Oh!

LEADERSHIP: ECONOMY IN TROUBLE!
Follower: Economy fundamentally sound.

LEADERSHIP, possibly could lose the only home they have if this economy doesn't straighten up.

Follower: Could lose 3 or 4 homes and still have many more to lay his head. Oh by the way, I admire his progress and will not knock it; but it hinders his understanding of what the real America is going through. His close associates even feel from their hearts that American is in a MENTAL RECESSION.

Most of the citizens of all races in the present America are hurting and have been for a long time, but the follower said (just this week) "THE ECONOMY IS FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND". Listen up, He will take these feelings to the White House.

OBAMA '08 A person who really knows how it feels and has heart-felt humiliation to get this country back on track respecfully.

Obama has worked on the bill. There is an earmark for ACORN in the Bail Out Bill.

Wonderful--- taxpayer money to a crooked organization and Obama used to be ACORN's lawyer.

Debate question for Obama

"Why did you insist on an 'earmark' for ACORN in the Bail Out Bill?"

Isn't ACORN a crooked organization and you used to be their lawyer?

You said the right word. Obama 08 has heart-felt humiliation for riding on America's economic turmoil for his political gain.

Bullying You Can Believe In: AIP Responds to Obama's Attack on the First Amendment

Washington, DC – September 26, 2008 – Barack Obama is now using local law enforcement officials to carry out his campaign of legal intimidation by assembling a group of high-ranking Missouri police officials and prosecutors – including St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCullough and City of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce – to identify and target anyone the campaign determines is producing “misleading” political advertisements.

“This is an outrageous and shocking attempt by the Obama campaign to again employ Stalinist, police state tactics against those who dare to disagree with Barack Obama,” said Ed Martin, American Issues Projects president. “I am frankly stunned to see public officials like McCullough and Joyce abusing their official prosecutorial positions to serve as attack dogs for a national political campaign. I am quite certain Missourians elected these individuals to enforce the laws and arrest criminals, not to throw people in jail for daring to practicing free speech.

"The Obama campaign continues to provide a chilling preview of what would happen to political freedom in an Obama administration.”

This new effort is only the most recent attempt by the Obama campaign to crack down on free speech. Obama’s lawyers twice demanded the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute the American Issues Project, its officers, board of directors, and donors. The campaign also threatened stations running American Issues Project’s ad in an unsuccessful attempt to compel them to pull the spot, and ran its own ad in response.

Notably, this ad failed to dispute a single fact the American Issues Project has put forth.

Bahabh

I told the truth, you did not. What you wrote in your response was not what I wrote. Go back and read it. Or can you?

Apparently you can't handle the TRUTH? It blantantly obvious it distorts your eyesight and overall mental capacity.

No wonder you probablly support McCain. You two think alike.

God Bless You.

Blobama is getting his ass handed to him by McCain.

Blobama looks like a desperate angry Halloween monster, and he sure looks gay tonight.

mccain sounds like he is spitting out a bunch of tired talking points.

McCain looks presidential. Obama looks like an angry college kid, definetely non-presidential.
