Well said Einstein. what politician, including Obama, is not a "whiner, his campaign is run by habitual liars and he is dishonest."

I would agree but the sequence of events I saw was a dare or encouragement by McCain directing Obama to go visit Iraq. Obama did and it bacame a media circus when other world leaders began meeting with him. That was when the latest round of Obama smears started including the one that suggests how he is responsible for the high gas prices.
Unfortunately you and I are going to lose because for the next four months its going to be a mudslinging affair where the real issues are lost.
I suppose you could argue that favors the GOP since they really cannot focus on their record over the last 8 years. However, I still believe we all lose.
Have a good night, I have to get some work done.

- I get the impression that Obama IS play acting and very full of himself. Have any of you noticed how much of the same arrogance of Bush is showing up in Obama, such as, I am right, something is wrong with you if you don''t think so attitude. If he becomes president and makes a bad decision, we are going to pay for it because he has too much audacity to admit he''s wrong in anything. I would say Obama as president would be a lot of the same thing, maybe a different direction, but, if wrong, still done because, then, OBAMA will be THE DECIDER and refuse to back down or admit he is wrong. Bushism through and through!!

- the only traction there getting with me is that McCain is whiner, his campaign is run by habitual liars and he is dishonest.

- Interesting election strategy by the GOP. However, the only traction there getting with me is that McCain is whiner, his campaign is run by habitual liars and he is dishonest.
What a great image. What type of image were they hoping for? - Reply to this comment

You must be one of those paid guys from Pakistan or India to write blogs. Trouble is, you aren''t that good at English. Here for your benefit is a grammatical correction of your post along with some questions about issues of which you are not clear:
McCain dared Mr. Obama to go overseas. I guess he thought the military guys (persons) would boo him-- wrong! However, when 250,000 cheering people showed up they waved American flags, not burning them, like they did when your great President Bush was in Europe! That was all that he could take! (What was all he could take?) If a black man shows confidance, he`s arrogant! When a white guy does it, he shows he can be President! America is full of people who stil feel that black men should stay in their PLACE! (What place is that?) Grow up America. There is a new breed of children who don`t look at color but what`s inside of people! The You-Tube generation is gonna take McSame DOWN. He flip flops more than a fish out of water! He wears $550.00 dollar loafers and you think he`s a regular guy!
The bottom line here is learn English to post on these pages and be credible. - Reply to this comment

I thought he already did that the other day when his tie was the same color as Hillary''s pants suit. It was just so cutsie. - Reply to this comment
- For CBSNews.com to make this nonsense its top story puts the network over with Fox Noise. While the entire news sphere--NPR, networks of any merit, newspapers, even GOP strategists (even former Clinton insiders, yes) are all either laughing or shaking their heads at McCain''s silly attack on Obama''s popularity... here is CBS and Politico acting as if this "strategy" has "traction." As gsggrigsby pointed out, let McCain wear his $550 loafers to the MTV Awards (where he boasted about meeting Britney). As for self-described Clinton maniacs who hate Obama, I suspect they are probably racists and we''ll win happily without them in the Democratic party.

- John McCain is just sleazy, and he knows it!!!!
John McCain is a man who called his own wife a CU*NT!!!
John McCain is a man who called his own wife, Cindy McCain a CU*NT, and did it infront of three reporter, and his own campaign staff.
So I am NOT AT ALL surprised by any of the things John McCain says or does!!!! - Reply to this comment
Bla bla bla.....his middle name is Hussein......bla bla bla.....flag pin.....bla bla bla....he''s arrogant because he speaks well, he understands the issues, he''s confident, and people actually like him....bla bla bla....race card....bla bla bla......
Tomorrow it will be, "Obama wears the wrong color tie".
Are these the issues that effect real working Americans?
Is this the kind of stuff McSame is going to bring up in a serious debate?
Is McSame completely out of touch with the real concerns of working Americans?
It''s time for a CHANGE.

- He will not do to McCain what he did to Bill Clinton... make him out to be a racist, which Clinton is not. this registered Democrat and Clinton supporter, is voting for McCain
Posted by airmanc5 at 04:38 PM : Jul 31, 2008
You''ve got that right! I would have voted for McCain even if Clinton was the Democratic candidate, but feel that Clinton probably would be farther ahead than Barack is right now. I disliked the Clinton''s over the years, but that actually changed when I watched the far-left take over the party and treat Hillary unfairly in the media. I actually felt sorry for her and that is certainly an accomplishment. Barack simply does not have enough political background to be President yet. If he had been in the Senate for numerous terms and voted on a variety of issues over the years, then it probably would be a slam dunk win for Democrat''s. In 2008, it''s just too soon. - Reply to this comment

Judge: White House Aides Can Be Subpoenaed
July 31, 2008 04:01 PM EST |
WASHINGTON %u2014 President Bush''s top advisers are not immune from congressional subpoenas, a federal judge ruled Thursday in a long-running dispute between the two political branches.
Congressional Democrats called the ruling a ringing endorsement of the principle that nobody is above the law. They swiftly announced that the Bush officials who have defied their subpoenas, including Bush''s former top adviser Karl Rove, must appear as part of a probe of whether the White House directed the firings of nine federal prosecutors. Democrats announced plans to open hearings at the height of election season.

The Bush administration was expected to appeal.
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge John Bates said there''s no legal basis for Bush''s argument and that his former legal counsel, Harriet Miers, must appear before Congress. If she wants to refuse to testify, he said, she must do so in person. The committee also has sought to force testimony from White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten.
"Harriet Miers is not immune from compelled congressional process; she is legally required to testify pursuant to a duly issued congressional subpoena," Bates wrote. He said that both Bolten and Miers must give Congress all nonprivileged documents related to the firings.
Bates, who was appointed to the bench by Bush, issued a 93-page opinion that strongly rejected the administration''s legal arguments. He noted that the executive branch could not point to a single case in which courts held that White House aides were immune from congressional subpoenas. - Reply to this comment
- It seems to me that it is always crucially important to keep in mind what the job of the media is.
To deliver an audience to an advertiser!!
Plain and simple.
Anything and everything else is designed and engineered to support that single goal!
It would be very difficult to come up with a bigger ego than Lyndon Johnson, or a greater prima donna than Ronald Reagan (well, perhaps Bubba). Did these two get this kinda treatment in the press during their campaigns?? Certainly not? If anything, they were complemented as "poised and confident".
So why is the press putting this out there now? They know, given who Obama is, it will get a maximum number of butts sittin'' in the chairs during the commercials.
Everybody''s just tryin'' to turn a nickle. - Reply to this comment
