EVERYBODY who thinks the middle class needs a break, raise your hand!

You are the people that Barack Obama is worried about.

If you took away all strawmen arguments from the Republicans, would they have any personality at all?

Obama and Biden both mocked him. Of course, we cannot expect their ABC campaign headquarters to accurately report how they both mocked someone who asked the great Obama a question. Pathetic and disgusting what those two and their media goons have done to an ordinary citizen. I cannot find where Obama came out and told the media to back off the guy that all he had done was ask a question. He only complains when it affects him.

McCain is just desperate. He will say anything to win. Too bad its not working because the majority of people do not like his unqualified and mean-spirited running mate, and he has all the wrong ideas on health care, taxes, education, college tuition (actually he has no plan on college affordability because students are a "special interest group"), and anything else that has to do with what people care about right now.

Just saw tonight that Palin is a bigger drag on McCain now than Bush. Wow. Seriously, somebody actually polled the question of what concerns people more about McCain. Palin was numero uno.

Guessing that Hail Mary pass just landed with a thud short of the endzone.

So it wasn't Obama who was making fun of Joe the Plumber, and all plumbers, at a rally last week? Sure looked like him. How does he get away with lying so blatantly all the time? I know Americans have short memories, but come on, a week?

I wonder how Sarah Palin feels about her negative ratings which happen to be higher than her positive ratings.

Keith- How did Obama make fun of him? Please explain.

Keith, how exactly was Obama making fun of Joe and all plumbers?

I guess after Joe the Plumber said that the media was ruining his life, and digging into his personal life. I've seen him on the Huckabee show, and Hannity, and maybe he has been on other shows also. It looks like he's running with his 15 minutes of fame. Watch out, because Ed the Dairyman might be catching up to you in popularity.

Joe shouldn't have to worry about a tax increase unless his company that he's going to buy, shows a $250,000 profit, that's right, PROFIT, not gross. Joe you will have to make at least $684.00 profit everyday after your expenses and payroll. Go for it Joe, because UTHEMAN.

I'm sorry, I was wrong. It seems I should stop watching Fox news and listening to what they say.

McCain = DISHONORABLE; Palin = SCARY!!!

McCain and Palin can't stop lying.

Palin just doesn't seem to have any depth of understanding about much of anything.

Just today, responding to a third grader's question about what the vice president does, she answered that the vice president runs the Senate and helps make legislation. Not just voting to break ties, but actually runs the Senate, like he or she was the majority leader.

And its not the first time she's kind of wandered her gibberish into that legislative arena.

ubu1991 and Keith claim that Obama mocked Joe the Plumber. You guys are just parroting the talking points on FOX news. Obama certainly did not mock Joe the Plumber. All he asked was the question "How many plumbers do you know who make $250,000 a year?" You call that mocking? Even Joe himself said on FOX that he makes nowhere near that much. As a result he stands to benefit handsomely from Obama's tax cuts for the middle class.

Everything about this guy is a lie, even if he's not a plant, and I think he was.If he's not he's awful smooth for a plumber in podunk, USA.

Ex Republican

If Obama wanted to emulate McCain's attack ads, we would hear robocalls in the Heartland informing America's patriots that McCain:

a) was in the pocket of former Lincoln Savings & Loan president and criminal Charles Keating;

b) was buddies with fellow criminal Republicans Ted Stevens, Tom Delay, Scooter Libby, Trent Lott, Jack Abrahamoff, Don Young, Larry Craig, Mark Foley...etc;

c) accepted political donations from the Watergate criminal G. Gordon Liddy;

d) picked a runningmate mired in scandal (Troopergate) and has acted "unethical" according to her own people;

e) gave up information to his communist captors in North Vietnam, whereas other American prisoners did NOT;

McCain has a lot to answer for, but Obama hasn't stooped to that level. You can't call yourself a patriot while voting for criminals.

Why do people even care about things like Joe the Plumber? I wonder if people realize things like these are distracting everyone from the real issues. Alright, there's a plumber named Joe who complained about taxes! And on a side note, our economy is failing in case anyone is interested.

And has anyone heard a story from Iraq since June-July?
