McCain spoke forcefully on May 25, 2006, on behalf of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005. "In this speech, McCain managed to predict the entire collapse that has forced the government to eat Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, along with Bear Stearns and AIG. He hammers the falsification of financial records to benefit executives, including Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson, both of whom have worked as advisers to Barack Obama this year. McCain also noted the power of their lobbying efforts to forestall oversight over their business practices. He finishes with the warning that proved all too prescient over the past few days and weeks." quote Morrissey "As we have seen, McCain has been talking reform for three years, with no assist from Barack Obama. And McCain at least knows the correct name of the company that got its bailout last night from the federal government. Is Team Obama so incompetent that they couldn’t check the name before issuing the statement?" quote Morrissey

It probably wouldn't be hard to convince some of them. But not John Hagee's followers, he's made it clear that Obama is NOT the anti-christ.
Fu-k them. let them do it. They will lose and they will lose power also. do Christians have their own church. Is there a special relationships between Christians and their church?
Could care less if a politician is funny or not while giving a speech. Humor does not equate to running a country soundly or not running a country soundly.
Recent Obama Ads More Negative Than Rival's, Study Says. I guess they don't play in Grim's town. By Howard Kurtz Despite perceptions that Sen. John McCain has spent more time on the attack, Sen. Barack Obama aired more negative advertising last week than did the Arizona Republican, says a study released yesterday. Seventy-seven percent of the Illinois Democrat's commercials were negative during the week after the Republican National Convention, compared with 56 percent of the spots run by McCain. Ken Goldstein, who directed the study by the Wisconsin Advertising Project, based at the University of Wisconsin, says the pattern was a reversal from earlier months, in which McCain's advertising was consistently more negative than Obama's. University of Wisconsin is very pro-Obama and I am surprised they came to this conclusion.
I just saw Barack Obama in Las Vegas today ! It was a great speech, and he came out swinging for the fences and got right to the point. There was no fluff, or generalizations. He told over 14,000 what we needed to hear, not just what he thought we wanted to hear. I am glad I got to see him live, listen to a whole speech and not just clips, and it was obvious to me that this is not a Politician in the way the we are used to . This is a man that is pissed off, and wants to give the country back to the people who are going to be bailing out the last 8 years with our hard working tax dollars. If he comes to your town, supporter or not, I highly recommend seeing him, so you can have first hand of what knowledge of what you are talking about. If anyone's interested, I just posted my thoughts and some quotes from the speech on my blog, The Mansfield Herald.
Did I say Obama didn't run any negative? He has of course done it to counter McCains. I have watched more negatives coming from Obama recently, while McCain has been playing more outright lie filled positive ads. The one about Palin saying no to the bridge to nowhere rings a bell.
A tiny bit of context is important here. You show that Goldstein mentions the pattern is a reversal, but the level of negative ads run from McCain's camp, and the RNC, was striking - while Obama resisted going this route, from the beginning: The McCain camp has stated the reason it's gone to the gutter, in so many words, is because Obama won't agree to town hall meetings. So, between complaining about getting beaten up by The View, complaining Obama won't play in the McCain sandbox, Palin refusing to honor even the subpoenas put to her staff over the so called TrooperGate scandal - is any of this striking anyone else as just bizarre, for a team touting "straight talk"?
I understand the desire (and frankly, if Obama wants to win, he should be doing it, for his own good. He's no longer king of the hill, this is a slugfest, and it behooves him to mix it up). But the point remains - McCain has in essence indicated this is why his camp has gone to the gutter. Because Obama won't play with him. "Straight talk?" Oh, and Straight talk, indeed.
Yea, I'm sold. I'm going to vote for Obama as the smarter of two socialists. If I really have to choose between socialism for the investment class or socialism for the working class, I'll pick the people who have to work for a living. And seriously, Obama/Biden has to be about 50 IQ points higher than McCain/Palin I also wouldn't mind if Bush and Obama end up being blamed for the coming economic collapse - pinning that on both parties would really open up some future competition.
Listen, I am not going to read this whole thread. I have better things to do. But to me, Obama is an affirmative action candidate who is grossly under qualified to be a presidential candidate.
