Obama is smart not to be chasing after McCain. Who wants to spend time on the stage with such a dishonorable and insecure person?

+ report abuse

could you state that in a way that makes sense especially the dishonorable. Apparently you are one of those bomb throwers who don''t care who they hurt and use indiscriminate words to attack

[peterp111]

The only one bringing up Obama''s race is Obama. He brings it up all the time. Then, when it is convenient, he hypocritically and falsely accuses McCain of bringing it up.

So to answer the question many talking heads asked last week, yes, race is an issue in this campaign. But it is an issue not because conservatives or Republicans are making it one.

It is an issue because Obama and the Democrats are. But again, they get a pass on this hypocrisy because they are Democrats.

When did a young visionary enter the race?

Although Bush and McCain have the same position on, war in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, the %u201Csurge%u201C, talking to Iran, talking to Korea, pro bush tax cuts, failed economic policy, anti GI bill, no Child health care, no health care, immigration, privatizing social security, Columbia free trade, Nafta, Pakistan, offshore drilling, torture, fisa bill, no minimum wage increase, no energy policy, anti pro choice judges, Bush doctrine (attack a country that hasn''t attacked you), no diplomacy for Venezuela and Cuba, do nothing Israel policy, nuclear power, 4 billion dollar fence with Mexico, foreign ownership of ports, same oil policy, mortgage deregulation and amnesty for illegal immigrant, they are not the same. Right ????

So, if you''re going to air Obama''s dirty laundry, by all means don''t leave out McCain.

You mean don`t leave out Republicans!

Republicans are responsible for their current political lack of trust! Republicans controlled all 3 branches of government, Republican mismanagement, overspending, corruption, losers Scooter Libby, Alberto Gonzales, Donald Rumsfeld, good job Brownie!, and the list is long and distinguished of aids dismissed by the Bush administration including the fabled Karl Rove who was in charge of the Justice Department by default since `I don`t recall Gonzales let Rove run it!`, the Political hit job on U.S. Attorneys, failure to show up for Congressional subpoena`s, outing CIA agents, Hurricane Katrina failures, lost WH emails, prisoner torture, Abu Garib prison atrocities, Iraqi oil will pay for the war (lol), cherry picked intelligence to invade Iraq, Osama bin Laden still loose making videos, fighting the war in the wrong country, Republican s`e`x scandals with White House Pages, and as you can see you need a database to track it all! A McCain Presidency will hide the truth, we will never know what happened, we need a Democratic administration just to find out what happened! Republicans failures left the door open for a Barack Obama!

Here is a quote from The Insipid One that appears in the article above. tell me if there is really any substance in this guy, or is everything he does just triangulating and deferring any decisions like some two-bit Chicago politician running for the local schoolboard:

Obama said then: "Obviously, we would have to think through the logistics on that, but ... if I have the opportunity to debate substantive issues before the voters with John McCain, that''s something that I am going to welcome."

He said exactly nothing in that quote. Why are people treating him like some messiah or genius? I see what frustrated Hillary so much. It is about hope - the hope that people have is blinding them to the non-entity of this ineffective little weasle. It is really sad, he has conned America and stolen our hopes, ruining our nation. Obama is a truly evil character, a preposterous fraud who played on people''s genuine hope to get his little campaign success so he can sneak off and smoke his dirty little cigarettes. He has committed an abominable act of fraud against the American people, many who truly believed in him.

"Obama may not have years of experience behind his belt, but he is articulate, knowledgeable, highly-educated, poised, and dedicated"

Ok let me address your actual points since they seem sincere.

1) Not many years of experience - true, on the national stage

2) articulate - not true - he has a deep, booming voice, and his SPEECH WRITERS are articulate. Without the teleprompter, Obama has shown himself to be inarticulate and fumbles for words and ideas

3) knowledgble - not true - his proposals, like the silly and repugnant economic stimulus or hasty withdrawal from Iraq are really stupid and show a lack of knowledge

4) highly-educated - half true, he''s not a PH.D, just an affirmitive action Harvard guy. Is Harvard say better than a real school, no, it is a fluff education actually, more about connections than substance.

5) poised - no, he lost poise and got flustered in the debates with Hillary, even gave her the finger, which is bizarre and non-poised.

6) dedicated - to what? no evidence on this. dedicated to himself? that''s what it looks like.
