McCain Jabs Obama, Then Gets Jabbed By Protestors

From CBS News' Jamie Farnsworth:

(WASHINGTON) John McCain and Barack Obama both adressed the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) in Washington, D.C. today, however, the two senators did not see each other. McCain took time at the top of his speech to point out the fact.

“I understand that my friend Senator Obama will, who I admire and respect a great deal, will be here after me,” McCain said. “I believe that both we could have stood here and responded to your questions of comments or views.”

Then ten minutes into his speech, McCain was interrupted by the first of four protestors.

“We want a peace candidate,” a woman yelled. As she was escorted out of the large room she continued to yell “He doesn’t represent Arizona! We want a peace candidate!”

“That’s a long trip out,” McCain laughed. The crowd cheered as he said, “The one thing Americans want us to stop doing is yelling at each other. That’s the one thing they want us to stop doing.”

The second and third protestors were escorted out just as quickly as the first, and the fourth protestor only made a larger stir among the press, as he had been seated within the press section.

McCain wrapped up his time by speaking about immigration and the need to treat immigrants in a “humane fashion” and with respect.

He heads to Kentucky this evening for closed fund-raisers.

Dear American Voters, reporters, media. professionals, political parties, and presidential Nominees,

Subject: Presidential Temperament


Please talk about and "Compare And Contrast" the " Presidential Temperament" of our Presidential presumptive nominees. I will also request and plead to the nominees themselves [ Hon. Senator McCain and Obama ].

Our nation has been applying this yard and stick tor the appointments and confirmation process of our Supreme Court Justices nominees.

Our Greatgrand Nation Foundations are as under:
Family, friends, fellows, faith, funds, fun, with fairness & freedom And without fear, favor, and failure.

It will be disgrace and shameful if the nominees and media will not look into this critical and crucial aspect under current challenging times and circumstances facing our country and the Globe.

Please America and citizens USA wake up and ask to compare and contrast the " Presidential Temperament" of our presumptive presidential nominees.

Yours sincerely,

COL. A.M.Khajawall [Ret].

McCain addresses a Latino audience ... and gets heckled by 4 different people. McCain was commenting about the Vietnam War Memorial at the time, and trying to muster support for the war in Iraq.

Obama addresses the same group, and gets a standing applause. Obama has always been against the Iraq war.

Sounds like people don''t want more war in Iraq.

The helicopter landed but instead of assisting those shot and needing medical help, the American soldiers killed any survivors and then wrote numbers on the foreheads of some. Several children including a young girls body are clearly visible, and the wounds suffered by the men are horrific. The vehicle is clearly shot with many rounds and the seats and road is covered with blood. Iraqi police were called to the scene to remove the bodies, and some video footage was taken. It is clear that these people were unarmed civilians.
American troops did eventually enter the house where over 50 Iraqis were gathered for the homecoming party, and the soldiers proceeded to destroy furniture and belongings as they conducted their search.

On May 20, 2008 in the village of Al Mazraa, near Baiji, Salahuddin Province, Iraq- Eight relatives and a neighbor on their way to a homecoming party for a detainee released from Camp Bucca were shot and killed by American soldiers as they waited on the road outside the neighborhood. American soldiers were conducting raids in the area, so neighbors had warned the family to stay away from the area until the patrol was over. As the two car convoy was waiting nearby, an American helicopter nearby opened fire on the vehicles. As the vehicles were hit, the drivers attempted to seek cover, but both vehicles were repeatedly shot and disabled.

Maybe McSame had something on his mind -that''s why he looked so nervous there. Not long before that speech, McSame knew that Newsweek would be running a story on Sunday or Monday about McSame defaulting on his taxes for the last four years. What a fraud.

''Newsweek is set to publish a highly embarrassing report on Sen. John McCain, revealing that the McCains have failed to pay taxes on their beach-front condo in La Jolla, California, for the last four years and are currently in default.''

"We can still have Hillary."

Well, YOU can have her.

Wake up, there isn''t a whit of distance between Obama and Hildebeast - both are of the far left and want to apply big-government solutions to all our problems.

If that''s what you want, then either will do nicely.

Quit whining and get over it. HRC LOST!

I do seem to remember those whoppers about sniper fire, being named after Sir Edmund Hillary, being integral to the Irish peace process, etc.

Oh, and "Gee, those Rose billing files just SHOWED UP one day!"

I love it...The Hispanic populace is not going to be swayed by the media deceptions nor Bush McSame''s deceptions about the FICTIONAL CHARACTER John McCain. People, do the due-diligence study his REAL voting record. McShame is (against) a woman''s right to choose, (for) eternalizing the Bush tax cuts for the WEALTHIEST, (for) prolonging US diployment in Iraq (100+) years, (for) engaging in warfare with Iran (''bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran''), based on a lie, etc. This is just a little bit of who John InSane really is. Here is a presidential candidate who is suffering from untreated PTSD. A man who constantly engages in racial explicits about Vietnamese.. An AWFUL warmongering MONSTER. A MEDIA invention.

Please go too bravenewfilms.org, and www.youtube.com/waton?v=ity9onf2anl, and the www.latimes.com/new.
