Debate Over "Spread The Wealth Around" Comment Reveals Complicated (And Contradictory) Feelings

Much of what Obama proposes sounds like the programs that Lyndon Johnson enacted in the 60''''s with the "Great Society era." However those programs were enacted during a period when the country was quite prosperous and could afford to put them in place, that is not the case now.

I''d say it sounds more like FDR''s ''New Deal''. How was the economy when that began?

Obama only has ideology of the democratic base which supports abortion, sucking babies brains out, on demand!

Posted by OBOMINATION at 12:01 PM : Oct 26, 2008

Obama -- like the MAJORITY of Americans -- is pro-choice. That is NOT the same as being pro-abortion! Can your small-minded brain understand the difference ?

There are many ways to lose a presidential election. John McCain is losing in a way that threatens to take the entire Republican Party down with him.

A year ago, the Arizona senator''s team made a crucial strategic decision. McCain would run on his (impressive) personal biography. On policy, he''d hew mostly to conservative orthodoxy, with a few deviations -- most notably, his support for legalization for illegal immigrants. But this strategy wasn''t yielding results in the general election. So in August, McCain tried a bold new gambit: He would reach out to independents and women with an exciting and unexpected vice presidential choice.

That didn''t work out so well either. Gov. Sarah Palin connected with neither independents nor women. She did, however, ignite the Republican base, which has come to support her passionately. And so, in this last month, the McCain campaign has

Palinized itself to make the most of its last asset. To fire up the Republican base, the McCain team has hit at Barack Obama as an alien, a radical and a socialist.

still not working :)

Vote for John Sidney McCain for president.
(The world don%u2019t dare test him!)

Posted by OBOMINATION at 12:07 PM : Oct 26, 2008

Well, gee, McCain''s friend Joe Lieberman said that the world would test WHOEVER is elected President, including John McCain.

Unless you want WWIII in response, vote OBAMA! He will defend our country, but will use all-out war only as a LAST resort.

[bigjoe-24]

No point in trying to explain facts to him.
he''''s in denial

Posted by doctor--cool ....

I''m glad he didn''t blindly follow McCain. Obama said it from the start that he%u2019ll commit to public finance if McCain would control his 527 dogs

[Renegade.Rivers]

I am amazed at how many of you act like it is an either or chose between McCain and Obama when there are four other candidates running for President. If you don''t like either one of them vote 3rd party.

It may not seem like it will do any good, but the only way we can strengthen third parties, and get out of the rut of this two party system that offers the same old song and dance from both sides of the isle is to start voting for third party candidates.

Vote third party!!

It is unfortunate that we as Americans are in the situation that we now find ourselves in. The leaders that we elected have took us down roads that we never should have gone, still it was us who elected them.

They were the same politicians that promised change, and great things for us all, and we believed them, and gave them our vote. Then after they stabbed us all in the back, we wanted to complain and complain we did, but to what good?

If and when Obama is elected how long will it take for us to find ourselves once again on familiar roads that we never wanted to go down, before, again?

[Renegade.Rivers]

(Cont)

Although there are those who realize that we are clearly headed towards that, the majority of the electorate is oblivious, or in denial to what is showing. Because all of the signs are there.

The truth is, Obama is a crafty politician, highly funded by big business, and the financial sector claiming to be for change. What should make ever middle class American take notice is the changes he proposes.

While many of them may look good a first glance, what bears the most concern, is how and who will pay for all of these proposals. Many of the proposals are in reality no more than "robbing Peter to pay Paul."

They actually change nothing, except how the responsibility for who pays, in the end every American will pay in one way or another, be it in lower wages, or higher prices and taxes.

What many Americans fail to realize is that a "nanny state," actually takes away from the freedoms that one has, and makes him pay for the "supposed" benefits that he receives. Because in the real world nothing is free.

Much of what Obama proposes sounds like the programs that Lyndon Johnson enacted in the 60''s with the "Great Society era." However those programs were enacted during a period when the country was quite prosperous and could afford to put them in place, that is not the case now.

[Renegade.Rivers]

I wonder just how long it will take after Obama is elected; provided he is; before the American electorate realizes that they have been lead down a another dark path, by another silver tongued politician.

Only this time the agenda will be shifted to the radical left, instead of the radical right.

Everyone knows that from the radical left comes socialism, and communism, the seemingly opposite of the extreme/radical right from whence comes corporatism,and fascism, yet the transcendence from one to the other is not the gigantic leap that some believe.

Because what many fail to realize is that the political playing field is not a flat line the juts out to the right and left, but is instead, "the political circle."

Once one comprehends this, then it is not beyond ones comprehension to realize that the radical left, and the radical right lead to the very same consequence, complete control of the government by an elite few.

Alaska''s Largest Newspaper Endorses Obama

ov. Palin''s nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.

Since his early acknowledgement that economic policy is not his strong suit, Sen. McCain has stumbled and fumbled badly in dealing with the accelerating crisis as it emerged. He declared that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" at 9 a.m. one day and by 11 a.m. was describing an economy in crisis. He is both a longtime advocate of less market regulation and a supporter of the huge taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout. His behavior in this crisis -- erratic is a kind description -- shows him to be ill-equipped to lead the essential effort of reining in a runaway financial system and setting an anxious nation on course to economic recovery.

Cowboy up cupcake Obama/Biden!

WFTV-Channel

West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama''s comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn''t being a Marxist with the "spreading the wealth" comment.

"Are you joking?" said Biden, who is Obama''s running mate. "No," West said.

West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America''s days as the world''s leading power were over.

"I don''t know who''s writing your questions," Biden shot back.

Biden so disliked West''s line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate''s wife.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.


WFTV news director Bob Jordan said, "When you get a shot to ask these candidates, you want to make the most of it. They usually give you five minutes."

Jordan said political campaigns in general pick and choose the stations they like. And stations often pose softball questions during the satellite interviews.

"Mr. Biden didn''t like the questions," Jordan said. "We choose not to ask softball questions."

Jordan added, "I''m crying foul on this one."

What did you think of the interview?

[bigjoe-24]

Its time for congress to act?

Congress should look into all this money Obama has gotten through suspicious means.

Who in the hell can give Obama $200 dollars for his election? Money is tight? Where is the money coming from?
Just where is all this money coming from to elect Obama?
Remember now America is broke with no jobs and Obama seem to have cash thats out of this world?

e2009more, When Joe Biden, the VP candidate, suggests that Obama will be tested in the first 6 months we need to listen and be afraid--very afraid. Why elect an inexperienced candidate given the state of the world. Only one answer foolishness!
...............

We all know the next president would be tested.

I tell you what, if McCain runs this country the way he has been running his campaign the last 18 months we''ll not only be tested by Russia and China but 80% of Americans would be living below poverty level in less than 2 years. mark my word.

If you think Bush is stupid, come to think of it that Bush is smarter than McCain. I%u2019m not buying the %u201CI know how to win a war%u201D thing either.
