Barry hit the ball out of the park and touched on all the points, at the same time he''s touching all Americans. McCain, on the other hand, is a 72 yr old spoiled brat. Cindy McCain, who''s never transparent enough to tell if she''s broken into someone medication, has seriously broken the rules by opening her mouth. And now there''s Palin, the Alaskan Beauty Queen turned Politician. No offense but how her dad raised her to hunt just to put food on the table, no TV in the house, HS state basketball champs, runner up in the beauty pageant, the brother in-law taser issue then abusing her power for firing his boss for not firing him, her pregnant teenage daughter who''s now, with here boyfriend, dropping out of high school, 44 yr. old professional mother with a toddler and Snow mobile champ of a husband all adds up to bad news and I can foresee it blessing Bushes 8 yrs. It all adds up. If anyone''s unfamiliar with or confused about this countries demographics, makeup, ethnicities, cultures, races and religions it''s Sarah Palin. She''s not qualified and if God sees fit, we just might find out.

I really like that Barack Obama is looking at what the needs of this country are and what some of the options are for us. We are seriously going to have the streets covered with homeless and jobless people if we don''t take some real action here.

Meanwhile John McCain is still doing his rallys and bragging about himself and how great he and Sarah Palin are!
I don''t care about John McCain or Sarah palin! I care about this country and my neighbors!

what is this Obama now agreeing with McCain and the Rep on taxes for the business. Guess the polls showed that was what he need to say. What was it two weeks ago he was going to tax them heavy and give it to the non-working poor (ones that don;t want to work) now he is going to cut it. People this is what you are in for never knowing where he stands on a issue. Guess this is why he voted present to much couldn''t figure out what the polls were saying so present was a save vote. Well there is no present vote as President.

ShannonJane6 you need medical help. If the GOP has gone this far down the drain they will never again see power in our life time.

And as a former Republican that suits me fine.

Obama is a good man. He cares about people. If you can''t vote for his black half then vote for his white half. I know I am voting for the whole man. I think John McCain is a good man who has server his country but his time has passed. Palin on the other hand is only self serving.

If Obama SHOULD lose, Letterman and Conan will both have complete meltdowns.

That''s funny! The retiring leader where I work is a white atheist yellow dog democrat father of 3 and will be voting the dem ticket without thinking.

I will be replacing him, but I will vote McCain after thinking.

Stick a fork in McSame, he''s done.

His buddies in Bu$hCo handed the presidency to Obama.

Oh, you RepugTrolls - find your rocks... Time to slime back into the dark for another 40 years.

He is merely proposing to put off the forclosures until after he gets elected - and as for those tax breaks, he knows the Democrat-controlled congress won''''t allow it. In fact, he will increase everyones taxes - but he won''''t admit to that until you put him in the White House.

Middle America is ready to take their chances.
Anything other than a neocon is the better option.
We''ve had 8 years of their madness.

Bless you Obama! All that McCain does is throw hateful words and even when he tries to fix it, he sounds totally wrong.

The woman who asked McCain during a rally if Obama was an Arab and McCain said "No he is not, he is a decent family man %u2026." implied that Arabs may not be. This woman sounded so ignorant and I am afraid millions others are so deeply uninformed. What McCain and Obama and many in the media and press should explain is that "Arab" doesn''t mean "terrorist". Terrorists come in all shapes, forms and ethnicities. I have many Arab friends, born here and abroad, all of them are moderate Muslims and also Christians of all faiths. This should be explained clearly otherwise, people will equate Arabs to terrorists and that is unfair and dangerous.

Also, people who speak Arabic are not necessarily Arabs (only Arabian Gulf people really are). The rest of the Arabic countries come from different historical backgrounds (Lebanese = Phoenicians, Egyptians = Pharoses, etc.) So, let''s not lump all of these countries together and call them Arabs, especially not in the context of "terrorists". By the way, the Talibans are not Arabs, so let%u2019s just set the records straight.

McCain is actually trying to hold it together after selecting a simpleton running mate and being surrounded by nasty rabid Right Wing Radio fans. These Floyd R. Turbo types would be less nasty and rabid had the Fairness Doctrine been in effect the last few months. Geez, I sure wish they''ll restore the Fairness Doctrine soon for a better, more information-rich public dialog rather than the disinformation-rich monolog choke-hold that pollutes our waste treatment facilities currently.

I''m a 53 year old white male and I''m tired of Rich, White Men running this country into the ground, warmongering and bailing out their rich buddies and coporations. Let''s do something different. I agree with MONET767. Enough!
