[lfitts1]

HAHAHA! You should really ask: Do Obama''''s gaffes raise questions about his intelligence? And the obvious answer is: YES!

Absolutely--graduated Harvard Law and was chosen to be the editor of the Law review--what a dummy--those who get their made up news from Rush Limbaugh and believe it should not be judging others

McCain Gaffes Pile Up
Politico: Verbal Blunders Bring New Attention To Sensitive Issue Of His Advanced Age

What will happen to this McCain dude if he reaches 74?

Scary stuff

America should be saying, keep this man away from the "BUTTON"!

You guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Diane Sawyer of ABC was lambasting Senator McCain just before playing the tapes of the second coming in the Middle East with Three Wise Anchors. She asked him if he felt the adulation and wall to wall positive press was unfair to him -- he just smiled.

Actually it was a wrong question -- The real one is "is it fair to the American voters". Of course NO. If we can''t get a fair reporting of what is happening without such obvious support from powerful media outlets, where are American''s going to go to find out who we are voting for?

And the question might have been, "Is it fair to CBS News?" because even those who are ecstatic over the worship of Senator Obama while trashing Senator McCain know that they can no longer rely on these sources to find out what is happening. When that happens, Katie is going to find herself with two people watching her to find out what color dress she is wearing.

You probably will achieve your aims in your blatant advertising blitz disquised as news to elect the next President, but once it is over, will you be transferred to the Entertainment Division to peddle innuendo against "Access Hollywood"?

Edward R. Murrow would have been ashamed.

Gaffes are almost totally identified with the Republican Party and more specifically, conservatives. Ford, Reagan, Bush and now McCain are just a few. However, I will have to give the top award to old GW. This guy is just plain dumb and it is starting to look like McCain will continue the tradition.

Cryos says:
"Obama [...] doesn''''t have any original thoughts and has to get his information from his masters."

Wow. Since you''re so knowledgable about Obama, please tell us who his masters are and who wrote his books for him? Thanks.

There is a definate down side to having a black president. The blacks will automatically assume all race relations are harmonious when it fact it won''''t be. One person cannot do that- and the whites who say " I''''m voting for a black man so that makes me non- racist" are in for a very rude awakening. Racism will not dissapate with a black President, in fact, it will cause more harm than good, when the issue is still very much alive in this country. Obama is not the answer, not only simply because he is black, but because HE IS NOT QUALIFIED to be a COMMANDER.

Well, my advice to Mr. McCain is to choose a very strong VP that the public thinks highly of because as soon as the Oval Office pressures begin to mount his brain is sure to finish dissolving.

Although I am an Independent I would have come more near to voting for a sharp Mitt Romney and I don''t really care for him.

''The McCain campaign recently acknowledged that seats on the new "Straight Talk" airplane are assigned to reward "positive" reporters with special access seating in the front of the plane.''

At least they get to go on the plane! Obama''s gang wouldn''t allow New Yorker Magazine to go on his trip.

Maybe the age thing is an issue, but more importantly for both of these morons is that when the pressure is on they show just how inexperienced they are. McCain may have years as a Senator, but that is all he should be. Obama barely has the credentials to be a Senator, he should have stayed in the House. We are in for so much trouble. Obama and McCain continue to show their weaknesses and there poor ability to choose whom they associate with.

[nextgenman]

Onset Senility will do that to ya....just ask Reagan

[foxmulder33]

McCain will lose this race too. He''ll never be as laughingly incompetent as the true king-of-gaffe, George W. Bush.

[rpgormley]

You are all blind fools following the left-wing media, following the "Messiah Obama" riding on his pink unicorn promising health care to all, alleviation of every pain and suffering, and cradle to grave pampering from Papa government.
But, I guess because he speaks so well and, you know, he is a "clean black man" [not my quote or opinion], what more could you want??

[ariel133]

"Are people ever going to think that he''''s going to be stronger than McCain on national security? Maybe not," he said. "But he doesn''''t need to be seen as stronger than McCain on national security. He needs to be seen as strong enough on national security."

STRONG ENOUGH? NO.
YOU CAN''T BE HALF DEAD- EITHER YOU ARE OR YOU''''RE NOT.
YOU CAN''T BE HALF EXPERIANCED TO LEAD A COUNTRY, YOU ARE OR YOU''''RE NOT.

NO FREE RIDE FOR HUSSEIN

[wdrussell1]

This is just a ploy by the McCain campaign to attract Bush voters.

[aj4321-2009]

Old man is losing his bearings.

[starleo146]

He is frustrated and on top of that he lies

[undrmyboot3]

If Obama made one TENTH the mistakes that McCain does the press would be crucifying him. Why does McCain get a free ride?

McCain gives DIRECT REWARDS to reporters for POSITIVE REPORTING about him. He is BUYING REPORTERS- HE IS PAYING THEM OFF.

The McCain campaign recently acknowledged that seats on the new "Straight Talk" airplane are assigned to reward "positive" reporters with special access seating in the front of the plane. These seats are REWARDED TO REPORTERS WHO PROVIDE POSITIVE COVERAGE TO McCAIN. The Washington Post reports that Sen. John McCain''s new airplane %u201Cfeatures a special area%u201D where %u201CMcCain will conduct group interviews with the press.%u201D Top McCain aide Mark Salter said "Only the good reporters would get to sit in the special section. You%u2019ll have to earn it." Never challenge the Senator.

These special seats provide direct access to McCain, access denied to other reporters. "ACCESS IS MONEY." Reporters are rewarded by their bosses and employers for gaining access to candidates. More access means MORE MONEY AND MORE PROMOTIONS.

This is nothing less than FINANCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL BRIBERY TO REPORTERS THAT PROVIDE McCAIN WITH POSITIVE COVERAGE.

CBS should create a new section, "WHO IS THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN REWARDING TODAY?" It would report the daily seating assignments on the McCain plane. Who got the "SPECIAL ACCESS SEATS"? Who is being punished for critical reporting and is sitting in the back of the plane?
