Way to go Obama! Quit griping about Obama getting air time. It''''s about time he is able to address the lies and attacks that the GOP keeps slinging. My father had this saying when I was little, "A skunk smells his own hole first." That means: If you want to attack someone you had better look at what you have done yourself. McCain is covering up plenty of junk
that would ordinarily possibly land him in jail so go smell your own hole, John, you dug it.

you certainly sound like an expert on holes which explains why you are voting for one.

Is it just me, or does this make sense to anybody?

It makes sense to people not begging for Republican Socialist Bailouts to nationalize the Financial System.

Sounds like McCain not knowing if he owns 7,8, or 9 mansions.

Posted by FloydZeppt

my hunch is he paid for all of them without any favors or sweetheart deals.

My hunch is that he cheated on his dying wife with a monied Frigid Princess. All in the name of Jaysus.

That means that the wealthiest get their next tax cut soon, because that was part of the prior tax plan, which is the tax plan that Obama would like to see rectified.

I don''''''''t know. I wonder if McCain is talking about the Republican Socialist Bailout for Banks he raced to Washington to support?

Posted by FloydZeppt

Funny how you left out any mention of Carter, Clinton, Frank, or Dodd.

Funny how you left out Bush, Paulson, Boehner and Gramm. Tell me about "Free market!" again......

silver1237 two points: 1) Based on your reasoning McCain is solely responsible for the illegal immigration that breaches the borders of Arizona; and 2)I haven''t heard any facts from McCain. Only another attempt to scare. Oh and about the taxes - does McCain tell you he wants to leave taxes like they are? That means that the wealthiest get their next tax cut soon, because that was part of the prior tax plan, which is the tax plan that Obama would like to see rectified.

I want the election to go away; the further the better.

I won''t watch a political infomercial any more than I would consider watching a regular infomercial.

I don''t like the post 2000 election McCain and I don''t like Obama. I think that about covers everything.

This informercial is Obama''s signature event that showcases his hypocrisy, and is sponsored by his broken pledge to accept public campaign financing. His pledge was in writing, and he also stated it twice in public debates with Senator Clinton. He lost all of my respect for him when he signed his name onto a piece of paper to pledge that he would accept public financing should he win his party''s nomination and then broke that pledge.

Senator Obama is a great orator and communicator. There is not mistake about that. But he has no honor. Even ex-Senator, Bob Kerrey, an Obama supporter has called out Obama as a hypocrite. In a letter written to the New York Post on 10/28, Senator Kerrey wrote, "A hypocrite is a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue -- who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. And that, it seems to me, is what we are doing now."

Campaign finance reform is not the most important issue of the day, but a candidate''s honor is ALWAYS the most important issue of the day. It is clear to me that Senator Obama is willing to foresake honor and integrity for the sake of winning. I can''t explain that away to my children. I can''t teach my children that that is a good example on how you conduct yourself in life.

That is why I am not voting for Barack Obama.

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama%u2019s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

A second relative believed to be the long-lost %u201CUncle Omar%u201D described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a %u201Csawed-off rifle%u201D while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20 (#1,488) arrears, according to the Boston Housing Court.

Obams is a millionaire, has lots and lot''''s of money.
Funny thing all his close relatives, brothers, aunts and uncles live in slums, looks like he really spread the wealth around. If he would treat his own family that way just think of the way he will treat the American People. WOW and you would vote for him???

Posted by silver1237

also ironic that obama has enjoyed his greatest success and made his money during Bush''s term.
