Obama Re Last Night

September 04, 2008 3:42 PM

Rt_obama_basketball_02_080708_main For all the post-Palin, post-Giuliani, talk on the blogs and the radio and the cables and wherever else, here's Barack Obama himself on what he thought of the attacks leveled against him last night:

"I've been called worse things on the basketball court."

Yeah but John - She is close to Russia.

Even if you don't like Obama you have to admit at least the guy is talking about the issues. You may not agree with him but the Republicans haven't yet mention how they are going to get us out of the mess they made of the last 8 years. Palin attack was disgraceful and shameful. If you can't admit to that, well, I feel sorry for you. NO CLASS!

Obama is SO cool - he is SO good at dismissing the garbage republican party without ever stooping to their level.

As an Obama supporter I'm a little biased. But you got to understand that speech was to rally the base. So thats what is up with the attack. However I don't think it was a good move. If John Mclame wants to sway my vote that is not the way to do it. I agree with G rocks right. If they want me to Change my vote they better get with explaining what Change they want to bring. Other than that I just see 4 more years Of cheeny in a dress and Bush only 30 years older at this point.

I was really surprised by how nasty and nonsubstantive she was. What a reckless choice for |McCain.

Thanks Clifton. I will not sit here insulting any republicans. Everyone has the right to their opinions. But there is this little thing called common sense. Something that Palin and Mccain both lack. I want to hear about the issues that we all as Americans face each day. The truth is, majority of Americans are not rich, are not even middle class anymore, thanks to Bush/Cheney, we do not own big oil wells, we are not CEO of the Big Corporations, therefore we all need to pull together to get this nation back to being great again. We need the middle class to survive. So let's use some common sense- Mccain/Palin is not for change. It's 4 more years of a sinking ship. You cannot grow if you do not change. I rather take the risk with Obama/Biden at least it's something different. But they can't do it alone, we all need to do for our country too. We can start by using a little thing called common sense!

Wordz: It seems to me that any full grown, mature adult would have a desire to be responsible, to help where he can in a world that needs so very much, that threatens us so very much.

I was so hopeful this would be a different campaign without all the negative personal attacks. I was so hopeful each party would take the "high road" and speak to the issues. I was so hopeful the era of sarcastic taunts and misinformation was over. That hope died this week at the RNC. As an independent voter, I will now support Obama. He is a refreshing alternative to " bad old-time politics

This is what the conventions are for, it amazes me that you all get riled up. Conventions are to rally the party not talk about all the issues confronting them. Both parties to date have given little on the issues but that will come in the next few weeks. Obama if one looks realisticly has no business putting the U.S. at risk in such a critical time in History. This is not a time to put a man with no record in charge of the free-world. This is a race between McCain and Obama, not Palin
