Obama Ad Takes On McCain Proposal

Barack Obama's campaign released a new ad this morning targeting the mortgage proposal John McCain unveiled during Tuesday night's debate. The ad will run on cable nationally, according to the campaign.

"In a time of crisis, our leaders' judgment is tested. On Tuesday – an announcement," an announcer begins. The ad uses McCain from the debate: "I would order the Secretary of the Treasury to immediately buy up the bad home loan mortgages in America." The announcer continues: "On Wednesday, the details. McCain would shift the burden from lenders to taxpayers – guaranteeing a loss of taxpayer money. Who wins? The same lenders that caused the crisis in the first place. Putting bad actors ahead of taxpayers?
We can't afford more of the same." Watch it:

To add to carolo43''s blog, no one else is really talking about Todd Palin''s former membership ( 1995-2002) in the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) whose main agenda is Alaskan secession from the United States. AIP founder Joe Vogler has stated " I''m an Alaskan, NOT AN AMERICAN. I have NO USE FOR AMERICA her her damned institutions. The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to MY HATRED FOR THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT". In 1993, Joe Vogler was to attend the UNITED NATIONS to speak out against United States "tyranny" and plea for Alaska''s freedom. He even persuaded the IRANIAN GOVERNMENT to support his anit-American tirade.

In 2008, Sarah Palin addressed the AIP convention and said "keep up the good work" and "God bless you".

Today as news article related to the ''Troopergate'' investigation has Todd Palin contradicting himself. The reported stated Todd had "unusual access to his wife''s staff".

So, we have Todd Palin as an Alaskan Secessionist whose party founder peursuaded the Iran Government to support his anti-American tirade to "free Alaska" from United States "tyranny".

Todd Palin is Sarah Palin''s husband and noted "First Dude" who has had " unusual access to his wife''s staff".

And, John McCain and his party picked Sarah Palin to be the vice presidential candidate for the UNITED ( yes folks UNITED) States of America. And, doesn''t the United States include Alaska?

Conflict of interest is the least of Sarah Palin''s worries.

OneAmerican7, so according to your logic, if the American Nazi Party endorses McCain, that means that McCain is a certified and acknowledged member of a racist plot to overthrow the US government. Right?

You do understand what the word "endorse" means, right? It''s not a two way street, bub, unless the other person "accepts" the endorsement. In other words, "endorsement" doesn''t mean jacksh*t unless it is reciprocated.

Ever notice that with all the William Ayers and ACORN cloud cover that no one wants to talk about Cindy McCain%u2019s drug addiction, her father being buddies with the mod boss Kemper Marley or McCain being invited to the birthday party of Joe Bonanno? Why was McCain invited to a mod bosses birthday party? Were you?
And why is John McCain''s collaborating with the enemy when he was a POW never mentioned but thousands of other POW%u2019s did not and stuck with their Honor Code?
No discussion either of Todd Palin having his nose in Governmental business and the business of the Mayor. People state they could not have a meeting with Sarah Palin without Todd being there and of course he has his nose in Troopergate. He was not an employee of the State but a citizen. Makes you wonder if he''d need to sit in on meetings at the White House since he''s such an important fisherman and all.
Why do we not hear of John McCain''s ties to the gambling casino''s in Vegas?
I find it interesting that Colin Powell, a close personal friend of McCains for 27 years, refuses to endorse him.
And why is this stuff never mentioned? Because Obama is an honorable man trying to run an honorable campaign.
And as today, Obama has all his electorals! Watch old erractic McCain go nuts now.
