“He can't govern because he doesn't know how. We elected a community organizer, not a statesman.”

“Being in Illinois state government for many years I have had the opportunity to observe Obama first hand. Governing has never been at the top of his list of priorities.”

“You're exactly right.

Why can't he spend at least 285 days a year playing golf, and reading "My Pet Goat" and other nursery rhymes to seven year-olds in the event that any potential crisis emerges?”

“Great satire. Jonathan Swift would have been proud.”

“He is a fraud.
I don't get duped often, but I did this time. I did not vote for him in the primaries but once it came down to him or the Hate Talk Express, I gave him my full out support which included donations (ugh) and working in his campaign office. We had a helluva choice, false hope or balls-to-the-walls aggression and stupidity.

It is obvious that Obama is an instrument of the monied powers, the oligarchy that rules the whole show. His eloquence and appeal make him a very powerful instrument as he is much better at duping the people than the smug, smirking dunce Bush Jr.

The fact that he continues this bogus war on terror which successfully robbed us of our freedoms, liberty, money and continues to take the lives of many is the ultimate injustice.”

“National Latino Officers Association stand by POTUS:

“He won. Get over it.”

“What are you so afraid of? Do you think he is going to send us into a foreign country to overthrow a government or something? Do you think that he will manipulate a national crisis to eliminate personal privacy rights? Do you fear that he will lie to the public and pander to his cronies? Jesus, have you forgotten the last 8 years?”

“Why are you shouting??”

“GOD will determine who should be the next president. Go GOD!”

“And who are you to decide what/who is a mistake ???????
And what makes McCAIN a better man,HIS FIRST WIFE OR SECOND?...Duh”

“I hear ya.... get rid of ANYONE holding office right now... get rid of all lobbyists.... keep a few constitutional layers and get real - diverse - group of Americans in a room with a copy of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence (for good measure) and START ALL OVER!!!!!”

“I'm sorry but you are misinformed about Obama's relationship with Ayres. That event at Ayres home was NOT for Obama - as is commonly claimed and obviously believed by you. It was for someone else. THAT PERSON was who the party was for. SHE was announcing her run for the US Senate.

THAT PERSON invited Obama to come, as he was her 'designated' replacement in the Illinois Senate. The event was NOT a fund-raiser or anything else for Obama. It was for SOMEONE ELSE!

Yeah, he was 'launched' if you want to put it that way but the event was for SOMEONE ELSE!

Why cannot you people actually listen to the truth?

And just because someone is at a political event, even if it is at someone's house - does NOT mean they have some huge relationship. More inferences.

YOU (and others like you) keep IMPLYING that Obama is lying. What is your evidence? His presence at this event? That is NOT evidence.

I have been at political meetings. At people's houses. Some of whom I had just met that day. Doesn't mean that I had some sort of devious relationship with them.

Stop buying into the smears!”

“Colin Powell lost all his moral authoriity prestige when he lied to the UN and the Congress on the need for war with Iraq. What he thinks is of no value or importance. Your comments on Obama are likewise of no value or importance. You begin by stating Powell was wrong and then attack Obama for who he knows, who supports him and his lack of experience. McCain's associates are also sleazy, his supporters nut cases and his views on Iraq more warish than Powell's. I do not support either of them, nor will I vote for either of them. But, to chastise Powell for Iraq and go after Obama for not supporting Iraq is really nonsense.”

“McCain and palin have run a far more mendacious campaign. I'm much more worried about Sarah and Todd Palin's ties to the Alaska Independence party than by any relationship Barak Obama has with Bill Ayers.”

“Desp.eration is piti.ful when it sinks to re.cycling the oldest of the de.bunked BS.

Go away.”

“Desperation is pitiful when it sinks to recycling the oldest of the debunked BS.

Go away.”

“Where are YOUR vetted facts? Obama hasn't taken a DIME from a lobbyist or bundler. Neither has the Democratic Party. And WHO do you think is starting to write the checks for the next thirty days for McCain/Palin? BP and CONOCO to name a couple of those wonderful 'little start ups on the North Slope.'”

“Sorry afed this was Obama and Biden's night he gave Hillary and Bill their night and the respect ! Give him a little too will ya !”

“What on Earth are you babbling about? The George Mason University media survey proved that Obama was getting far more negative coverage than McCain. But that's been apparent to anyone with a TV set, subjected to wall-to-wall coverage of Rev. Wright. Obama has gotten no breaks from the media ever since he became the front runner for the nomination. The only reason he wasn't attacked before that is because Hillary was the front runner and she took the brunt of corporate media attacks. The media biase isn't against women OR blacks; it's against Democrats, apparently because they're the party less partial to thebusiness interests of the bosses who run the corporate media. McCain has a record of being a very good friend to the telecom industry.

And please don't tell me about Olbermann; MSNBC keeps him on because he's good for the ratings. People with more progressive views have few places to go other than MSNBC. Short-term profitability trumps even rightwing ideology for these people.”

“How could he "deliver" on his plans as President before he is elected?”

“He needs to be elected firs. Bush promised US a new era and we most certainly got one, one like never seen in the history of the United States with few exceptions of course, the ones that have pocketed almost 7 trillion dollars as promised by Bush.”

“Does charging people with reverse racism make you feel better about your prejudice?”

“The point is that race should never be a reason for voting for someone, nor should sex. They ARE, yes, for far too many. However, I doubt you'll find many people who honestly believe a black person is owed or is going to prove better in a poilitical position because of race, while you'll find many who believe that no black should be put in such a position for any reason due to what they deem innate inferiority.

But the point is that anyone willing to do the minor amount of work involved in reading Obama's positions, studying his voting record, and collecting the expert analyses (of the experts in all available fields no less)would easily recognize (on top of McCain's betrayal of the troops, betrayal of his own ideals, sale to oil and big business and the hardcore right extremists, and opposition to every support for the middle class and poor while advancing the interests of the wealthy and big companies) that Obama works toward the good of the common citizen and the nation, the economy, the international political environs, and almost every other valid political measure in far more ways than are questionable.

Pretty much, there are rationales for supporting Obama, emotional reasons to support him or McCain, and nothing built upon logic that can so much as even suggest McCain has viable plans, relevant experience, good judgment, or anything else going for him except his willingness to sell out to the extremist branch of the right.”

“"Did I leave something out?"

Become a leader.”

“he doesn't get elected”

“Any of these disgruntled Clinton supporters who are going to vote for McCain because "she was dissed", or because they feel women have been marginalized by Obama's campaign better wake up and smell the "Male Chauvinist Pig" that is John McCain. To say nothing about his Mid-evil policies taking us to neoconland in the 18th century, he is the pro-lifer and war mongering Bush/Cheney supporter who voted for Bush's policies 95 percent of the time. Those policies have "dissed" women more than Obama ever could. Also, don't forget, McCain called is own wife a c*nt in front of reporters years ago, and also, as recently as weeks ago told a right wing bikers audience Cindy would make a good contestant for their "Miss Buffalo Chips" contest, bananas and wet t-shirts included! Vote for McCain because he "dissed" Hillary? Cut off your stupid nose to spite your face.”

“You do not state a reason. Why are you willing to see the downfall of the American way of life, the American middle class destroyed and civil rights revoked? How is that "respecting yourself"?”

“So...

...You're voting McSame?
.”

“You're a Republican working the blogs, you aren't a Democrat. The only Democrats who won't be voting for Obama are racists using other, unspecified rationale ("liar and fraud"), or former Clinton supporters that are so full of spite that they are irrational.”

“No true Democrat would spout off the lies and distortions from the Republican emails and ads as though they were truth. Be real. If you are a Republican, then proudly stand up and tell us why you support your candidate. Please do not pretend to be a Democrat and dis our candidate who is well-known and well-vetted (ask Hillary--don't think for a minute she did not scour every available source for some real evidence that Obama is anyone other than who he claims to be in his books and website). You are completely unbelieveable on every level. Obama/Biden '08”

“"The campaign Obama shows a false image of a man who has given untrue info on his family, his record, his beliefs."

“People who accuse him of being a liar never give any specifics. Do you have any valid ones?”

“So you, a self-described "lifelong Democrat" will be voting for John McCain, presumably? After having done an honest assessment of McCain's inveterate lying, inconsistencies, infidelities, and general dirty-dealing? Oh, I sure am going to take anything YOU say seriously....”

“You sound like you're describing McCain to me. Certainly no politician is a saint, but to go so far as to call Obama a liar and fraud is way out there. Back up your charges.”

“For Hillary the presidency was a sacred trust. For Obama it's a fourflusher's game.”

“Night after night I hear Pat Buchanan crying, "Why can't Obama close the deal?!"
How about, for all his years of experience, his POW record, etc, how come mccain can't get over 42-43%? While Obama is ahead by enough points that the election would be a landslide, mccain can't get move above what he has been throughout no matter what he throws at Obama. Guess mccain can't make enough "friends" to seal the deal.”

“You're funny.”

“No, but nice try.”
