Two things:
1: I love how McCain says he believes in "positive campaigning" then sits there and does the opposite.

I am not surprised and he is showing how he will lie. like Bush lied and continues to lie and therefore, not be the change we need on Washington.

I will be posting, in support of Obama...daily on McShame''s site to fight the smears!!!

2: I volunteer in Pa. Our grassroots group is GROWING!
People feel like Obama wants to make people''s lives better.

Senator McCain/McMad/McBush does not have people enthused to work on their days off.

People see Barack Obama changing the world''s opinion of the US. THAT IS BIG NEWS!!!

WoW.. it has been years since crowds have been seen waving US flags in Europe.

I think Americans are ready for inspiration rather than the desperation McMad shows.

As Barack says "It''s time to turn the page"

Where is the CBS that I once knew? This artical is the most bias nonsense pack of junk that I have seen to date. In fact CBS is not along in this regards, no wonder the major news outlets are losting the public trust. To the edlters, You are fired. Where is your ethics, rules to the truth? I think that is long past time that you return to the basic rule of reporting, that is to tell the truth by presenting just the facts, not opinions. Please stop the entertanment and get back to what you are suppose to be doing. I give this artical a big fat "F" Sorry you are dropping the ball and CBS you have failed the American public in this matter. If you don''t don''t get back your standards it will be the major news programs like yours who pay the price, big time. You need a complete sakeup.

John McCain judgement and experience that only comes with age:

"There''s not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along." [MSNBC, 4/23/03]

" I believe that the success will be fairly easy." [CNN, 9/24/02]

"We''re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad. " [CNN, 9/29/02]

"But the point is that, one, we will win this conflict. We will win it easily." [MSNBC, 1/22/03]

"But I believe that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators." [NBC, 3/20/03]

"It''s clear that the end is very much in sight." [ABC, 4/9/03]

"This is a mission accomplished.." [This Week, ABC, 12/14/03]

Want to repeat the last 8 catastrophic eight years? Vote McSame!

SkyK, no one is accepting Obama''''s position on Iraq. The only reason the US is getting near the point where we can think of withdrawing troops from Iraq is because the surge, which Obama opposed, is working. Since the surge has worked, now we can begin bringing troops home. Obama still cannot ADMIT that the surged has worked. He cannot admit he was wrong about the surge. So what is happening in Iraq has nothing to do with Obama. If we had not sent more troops in the surge and then tried to draw down our troops as Obama wanted to do, there would have been a bloodbath and Al Qaeda would have taken over. Obama had NOTHING to do with anything that is happening in Iraq.

If the surge has worked - just how many of those 18 benchmark goals have been met?

Obama is an arrogant creep. Watch this country become the Middle East if becomes president. He is a liar, a racist, a sociopath, and he''s in it for the challenge, not because he wants to truly lead America in the right path. I''ve heard 30 and under people say they''ll vote for him because their favorite musician supports him. The younger generation has huge problems in reality.

The sad part of this whole article is that reporters think they''re so dam self important that an article like this is even written. If the press were really doing their jobs, they would be impartial... as in reporting, rather than commenting. I think we all know by now that the press is bought and paid for by big business and should not be trusted.

YOU CAN SEE THE RIGHT WING KOOL AID DRINKING NEOCONS DISLIKE OBAMA!

EVERYONE OF THE AIPAC MEMBERS AND THE SEND OTHER PEOPLES CHILDREN TO DEFEND ISRAEL AN THE OIL COMPANIES FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEAR CROWD ARE USING EVERYTHING IN THEIR ARSENAL TO DISCREDIT OBAMA.

THEY CANT BUY HIM!

THEY CANT BLACKMAIL HIM!

THEY WANTED TO TAKE HIM OUT ON THIS TRIP!

THEY KNOW HE IS GETTING AMERICA OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST WHERE AMERICA HAS BEEN BOGGED DOWN FOR THE PAST 65 YEARS!

IF THAT ANGERS THE RIGHT WING CHRISTIAN NUT JOBS AND THEIR BRAIN WASHED NEOCONS OR THE DUEL PASSPORT HOLDING AMERICAN ISRAELIS LIKE JOE LIEBERMAN THEN SO BE IT!

IT IS TIME AMERICA DID WHAT WAS IN ITS OWN BEST INTEREST!

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT AMERICA NEEDS!

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT IS A THREAT TO AMERICA!

THE ONLY REASON MIDDLE EAST ARTICLES ARE KEPT IN THE AMERICAN MEDIA IS BECAUSE AIPAC MEMBERS RUN THE AMERICAN MEDIA AND FILM INDUSTRY!

AMERICA STAND UP OR SHUT UP!

TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY!

Finally some anti Obama bias to counteract all the pro Obama bias in the tabloids.

It won''''t be long and the press will tire of his blatant arrogance.

I really don''t think it matters much anymore. McCain has NOTHING to run on, he can''t win on the economy and with the acceptance of Obama''s position on Iraq, he''s pretty much a man without a cause.
