John McCain's Inquiring Mind Wants to Know

It turns out that when John McCain asked, "Who is Barack Obama?" maybe he wasn't being rhetorical. Maybe he really wants to know. And who can blame him, when his own campaign can't get its attack stories straight?

For weeks, McCain's partisans have been hollering that Obama is an elitist, a dyed-in-the-wool Columbia University-Harvard Law-University of Chicago professor elitist.

But now another McCain partisan, former Oklahoma governor Frank Keating, is doing a 180, saying now that Obama should out himself and 'fess up that he "was a guy of the street."

And would that street be... Massachusetts Avenue, in Boston? No wonder McCain's confused.

The only question McSame wants answered is "Am I winning?" As long as the polls answer no, he will desparately try to "turn the page" from the national financial crisis. As long as Americans are being robbed by wall street and the banks they will not let McSame "turn the page". The issues are keeping McSame from winning. As long as he has to talk about the economy, he loses---spoken by McSame's own camp of pain.

Is you want to call Senator Obama a terrorist then you would have to call the entire Bush family terrorist. After all the Bush family and the Saudi Royal family are verrrrryy close. so the next question is where members of the Saudi Royal family were flown out of the country on Sept 12.

typical Republican, never informed about the truth.

By now, after 2 years of running for president, dozens of debates, hundreds of speeches and interviews, if someone does not know who Obama "is" they have not been paying attention. McCain has plenty of things he deflects and flat out ignores about his previous associations and biographies (so many ways to see him), yet seldom do his supporters ever raise those questions, "Who is the real McCain?" It borders on the ridiculous, tossing such questioning into the ring this late in the game.

you have it all wrong. what he means by ``Who is Barack Obama?" is that we haven't fully known his backround. especially when Barack tries to keep it a "secret" and gets offended by every question that is asked about his past. That just shows how much he can handle.

it would be better if you would write about Barack' s association with Bill Ayers(was a 1960's leader of the homegrown terrorist group Weatherman, Communist-driven), Rev. Jeremiah Wright(his former Pastor, which by the way sounds very racist) and add a chronilogical timeline of his association(which actually "Hannity's America" show on Fox recently aired) and don't forget ACORN. That is what you should have written about to make your story more interesting on facts not fiction.

I hope this helps anyone out there that likes TRUTH and investigates forthemselves.

Hoo Boy, the republican campaign is just chock full of stupid.

"it would be better if you would write about Barack' s association with Bill Ayers(was a 1960's leader of the homegrown terrorist group Weatherman, Communist-driven)"

"Rev. Jeremiah Wright(his former Pastor, which by the way sounds very racist)"

"...add a chronilogical timeline of his association..."

"...(which actually "Hannity's America" show on Fox recently aired"

"...don't forget ACORN"

While this "fact finding" mission is moving forward, for the countless time in the past year, when does jm, sp, and the rest of their ilk plan to talk about how they are going to govern this country?

The will never talk about the country because every issue Barack has hammered them on. Even JM's foreign policy is questionable,

What would like to know about Bill Ayers?
They worked on the same together which was founded by a Republican and this same Republican asked Obama to be on the board and introduced both men. Also there were other Republicans on the board also, are they guilty also?

Rev Wright what about him?
You mean to tell me in your life that NONE of your freinds, family, etc... have said anything racist, anti-America? As for his comment on "the Roosters are coming home...." he was repeating a comment made by a US DIPLOMAT?

You want a chronological time lime?
How about this you provide a time line for everything you've done in the last 6 months in detail being that is what you want. If you can do that then fine Senator Obama should provide a Time Line.

And Let talk about Acorn, or even better lets talk about JM connection the Iran Contra Affair? Why was he on a RUSSIAN mobsters Yacht? He true dealing in regards to the Keating 5? Or even better how about his "I'm a De-Regulator" which his buddy Larry Graham helped push through!?
