eh, nitpicking.

Not so much when it's a reoccurring thing [and his advisers having to interject with corrections on multiple occasions.]
Write it off as 'bushisms'.

When public speakers do things like that , it makes you wonder what are they really thinking about? and, to be corrected by someone other than yourself, not good. I tradtionally am a rebulican but Obama said it, its time for a change.

I like to think Obama is the lesser of the two evils, but him voting for FISA makes me really nervous. You don't just go slicing up the First Amendment like that and expect [those of us who pay attention] to just take that lightly.

Come on, at least he spits complete coherent sentences.

Please give me 3 good examples of what "Change" will be brought about by Obama.

when pretty much every day everything they say is recorded in some way, you are bound to notice slip ups way more. He knows it's Sudan, he just messed up, it's not a big deal.

changes brought by obama

1. black people can shut up now about discrimination.

2. he will pull the troops outta the mid east rapidly (not saying that's the greatest thing)

3. United States will focus more on their own problems than the rest of the world

.... 3 changes.


After hearing Obama say that Iran does not pose a threat to us... oh man, that's the one country in the middle east you need to watch and "worry" about. Persians are rowdy and they have cash... and they live a totally different life than we do.

I'm not gonna vote, i voted in the democratic primary and that's it the only place i knew my vote would have actually counted.

1. Black people should have shut up a long time ago, considering.

2. Barack isn't pulling troops out of Iraq. We're winning in Iraq, he knows that, but he won't admit the surge is working. If he did pull any troops out that weren't arleady scheduled to come out, they're just going to be sent off to afghanistan in turn.

3. Barack Obama hates america. Or, in his words, he hates what america has become, yet he can't tell us a time when america was a better nation. He promises tax cuts, and then drops a laundry list of social programs on our heads. Where do you think that money will come from?

He has no energy plan. We're going to cut foreign oil in 10 years under his "plan," but how? Is Barack Obama going to somehow close down a world market? We're going to switch to electric cars, but how are we going to power those electric cars if we aren't going to search for more oil, and we can't develop more nuclear power? Barack thinks that he can legislate new technology into existence, and he's wrong. Nothing can replace oil, nothing. We just don't have it yet.

He says he is going to do what he can to bring business and jobs back to america, but in the next sentence describes how he will remove tax cuts and incentives for "big business." He doesn't understand that if you punish business, you lose jobs. If you raise the taxes on a business owner, he sucks up the cost by getting rid of employees, he isn't going to take a personal pay cut.

It's the same with oil companies. If we are going to levy a winfall profit tax on the oil companies, and then redistribute the wealth among citizens and alternative energy plans, it isn't going to bring the price of gas down. The oil companies simply raise the prise to reflect that tax, so they can sell less gas for the same amount of profit. It's simply a bribe from the obama camp, to you.

you know i had hope for Obama, but like all other democrats they have no concept of money and think that they can just save everyone. they are the ones who created fannie mae and freddy mac, who would have thought broke ass people weren't going to pay back their government loans. Bush nor the republicans had anything to do with that shit.

after hearing obama's speech i'm embarrassed to even say i was pullin for him. Ya right, he said we don't need to worry about the little countries of the mid east, and he goes on to name Iran... that's the one country you do need to worry about.

ya know what... I'm more of a McCain supporter now than ever. He's not Bush, McCain went to Vietnam. It was absolutely brilliant choice of VP, McCain and Paulin are running show. Paulin is a very smart lady, ya she's pro-life, but being pro-choice you have to respect the fact she made her choice, life. She's a very classy lady.

I can't believe the level of retardation in this thread.....

yeah..Palin is a real smart lady

http://government.zdnet.com/?p=4011&tag=nl.e019

McCain is a dumb war mongering racist and Palin is a fascist liar.

they're basically the same combo we've got in office now with some of characteristics roles reversed.

great.

...and Obama is a community voulenteer (damnit i can't spell) organizer. he never even voted on shit in congress, he just signed in.

Seriously, I'd rather not vote for Obama.

I don't think he will do anything he's claimed, even if he really wanted to [which I don't think he does].


But for fucks sake, to say Palin is a smart lady.
READ.

For the love of god, watch the news reports.

She's as big as an idiot as McCain.

stop. seriously.

how can you claim to be educated when you're spouting ignorant statements like this? He's cast more than 1,000 votes in congress. Now whether they were educated or "correct" votes is a completely different matter.

I'm no fan of Obama either. I think he'll be an ineffectual paper shuffler for the most part. But given the choice of him VS a war mongering idiot old racist puppet and a stupid, closed minded, oppressive criminal "pretty lady"....I'll go with him.

You guys watch too much nbc.

All the stuff you are hearing about Palan is just an attempt to destroy her by the main stream media. They are in the tank for The Messiah, and as soon as she came on the scene she was the biggest threat, and it became their mission to lay waste to her name. Just like Clarence Thomas, except now its a white woman excelling in a conservative environment, not a black man. Thus far, they have failed. Look at the questions Obama gets when he goes on network tv, and then look at the questions and treatment of the candidates on the republican ticket. Easy example, check out "The View" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdKL2LW1xYM

The media has placed itself in the Obama camp, they want to attach themselves to a piece of history, and its too late to turn back for them.

So now, the main stream media is out of ammo, so you have all of the liberal feminists types going after her, which is understandable as she is everything they can never be. She isn't a victim, she doesn't whine, and she isn't pandering to the masses. I can atleast understand the hatred in this case, as dumb as it is.

Dirk, I'm glad you could pop in here and add your piece of stupid to this post.

what was I thinking? it's all a liberal media conspiracy to discredit Palin, McCain and Bush!

oh wait....

she does pretty good on her own.

maybe you 2 should ask your daddies for some more bullshit rhetoric to repeat?

Holy fuck. It's ok, they already think we're Crusaders over there anyway. Way to stoke the fire, Sarah.

I'm still waiting to hear why Palan is a criminal.

Is saying that you hope we are on the side of God a federal crime now? Democrats were ecstatic when God was sending a hurricane into the Gulf during the RNC, but I guess that's acceptable. What I wanna know, is why wasn't The Lord Barack Obama the Most Merciful there to make the waters recede like he said he would?

Palin has a criminal record.
But they are all menial charges and I could give a fuck about that.

What I don't like about her is I don't feel she has the experience or knowledge necessary to hold the VP office.

When questioned, half the time, she doesn't even submit a valid answer. She goes off on alaska's energy or her son being in the military.

I think she's an IDIOT.

me too. I watched an interview she did with Charles Gibson. Every question he asked she dance around.

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.''"

"Part of what being a leader does is to instill confidence, is to demonstrate what he or she knows what they are talking about and to communicating to people ... this is how we can fix this,"

Joe Biden on CBS Evening News

The only problem she has a 'resolution' for is the energy/oil thing.

Everything else, she's pretty much clueless about.

So therefore, no confidence is instilled in me about her ability to do the job at hand.

Well, she WAS supposed to meet with Bono, so we should be okay after that.
