Obama said:

"The problem is when we got distracted by Iraq. We gave al Qaeda time to reconstitute itself. And we now know, based on all the intelligence available to us that they, in fact, have set up safe havens back in Afghanistan, the hills between Afghanistan and Pakistan"

My problem with that statement is:

Can anyone seriously believe that if we had dumped ALL our resources into Afghanistan and neglected Iraq that we would not still be facing these same groups only they would be staging out of Iraq rather than Afghanistan and they would have the financial and military support of an intact Iraq army and government backing them.

I heard McCains response and then Obama''s and please can someone please explain to me what Obama''s answer was and how his canned stale comments about Iraq have anything to do with what Katie asked him. I just heard stuttering and disconnected phrases as he just tried to get through his response. And you Dems, this is the guy you think will help us?

McCain is far from perfect but Obama is lost and clueless and we are deep **** if he gets elected.

McSame and Obama talk about preventing another 9/11. Meanwhile the fallout of 8 years of failed policies is making many Americans fear for their very survival. The Republican administration and Republican Congress has done to this country what no terrorist could possibly do....bankrupt the country.

First WTC attack was in 1993

Second attack on WTC (9/11) was in 2001, 8 years after the first.

The chances of a terrorist attack on US soil are slim, especially by plane again. We realized there was a serioud security breech with airline travel and corrected that. But to say that we are safer since 2001 because of the Iraq War is patently false.

Recent US intelligence estimated that al Qaeda is at the strength they were before 9/11/01.

Federal Elections Commission investigating Barak Obamas Campaign fundraising while the FBI investigates ACORN executives with Federal Racketeering Charges of voter fraud.

It has been well known recently that ACORN is at the heart of one of the most massive voter fraud campaigns in American history.

In recent years, many ACORN employees were convicted of voter fraud in Ohio, Colorado, California, Missouri, Washington, and other cities which easily manipulates opinion polls.

Obama campaign%u2019s federal filings showed ACORN%u2019s subsidiary, Citizens Services, only did polling and advance work on campaign events. Later, the campaign had to amend its reports to show that ACORN did GOTV work for them as well and paid them $800,000:

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/archive/s_584829.html

"ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter registration forms. Three ACORN election fraudsters pleaded guilty in October. "

It`s obvious the Federal government needs to open up an investigation of ACORN and Obama under the RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS LAW.

Email the FEC at CommissionerWalther@fec.gov, and the www.fbi.gov and demand that they stop thier voter fraud.

The Republicans and Sarah Palin believe security can be maintained on public e-mail servers instead of using the private, secure e-mail servers provided for government business. What makes us believe these people have any expertise in dealing with national security.

Somebody needs to put a new record in Obama''''s mouth. His stump speeches are getting stale.

Big surprise that CBS and NYT team up to give a poll that gives their hero a lead. Also have noticed that CBS has lightened up on the "Troopergate" now that Hollis French and his Obama cronies have come under fire by Republican filing suit and the Alaska Attorney General stepping in.

On economics, anyone talking about all the perks received from FEMA and Fannie Mae?

And the MSM has buried the story on Rothschild endorsing McCain/Palin.

We are safer because Barrack Obama has not been President using tough diplomacy to keep our enemies at bay. With Russia entering the Caribbean basin with Venezuela as a partner who has bought billions of Russian arms, we have a whole new threat building here.

We don''''t need a leader who is riding with training wheels in the White House. Obama should have stuck to his 2012 plan and stayed in the Senate or tried for a Governorship. Then he could equal Palin in experience.

LOL She is the govenor of a state with 700,000 she has two major accomplishments, She tried to fund the Bridge to Nowhere, then said she did not want the money, but yet she kept the money anyway.

Then she also has the accomplishment of seeing Russia from Alaska. Wow Thats incredible. Nah I think Obama being a community leader has 100 times more experience than Palin will ever Have

Sarah Palin''''s pastor, whom we never see on TV, unlike the Rev. Wright, believes that Jews must convert to Jesus or else be damned for Eternity.

That''''s right--Palin''''s spiritual advisor teaches that Jews are damned as Jesus-killers, and must abandon their religion to be "saved".

This is a true example of self-destruction.

So how is Palin supporting the Jewish people again? Please explain!

Who cares about the Jews? Your hysterical comment attempting to spark outrage does not matter. Coverting is much different than hatred.

"In South Florida, we have two Jewish congress people endorsing Obama, while the Israeli government is scared to death of Obama. Party loyalty trumps survival. How do you get people to support their own destruction?
