No Country For Old Men!

Headline: McBush loses by 20%.

Go get him John. Show this newbie he doesn' t know what he's talking about.

I agree with John McCain. I am a democrat. Obama's secrets will come out and could cost 4 more years of Bush-like Politics. We need Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic Nominee!!!

media elite directly censor the news in favor of Obama. Just look at MSNBC, and CNN, then look at their owners.

The eleven media organizations have interlocking directorships with each other through 36 other Fortune 1,000 corporations creating a solid network of overlapping interests and affiliations. All eleven media corporations have direct links with at least two of the other top media organizations. General Electric, owner of NBC, has the highest rate of shared affiliations with 17 direct corporate links to nine of 10 other media corporations

Hillary 08

I don't get it. He did say even if it is up to 100 years. Where is Obama twisting his words. Didn't McCain say he knows nothing about economics? I wonder if Obama will be twising his words there. We don't need 4 more years of Bush. He didn't even want to have a National Holiday for MLK. No Way McCain. Thats going to be the new chant.

Obama 08

Could John McCain just go somewhere and rock in his rocking chair. Come on, you talk about a person who is so out of touch with the general population, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't think there was a recession going on. Oh and by the way we couldn't sustain a 100 year war, even the General in charge said we can't do another two years. Wake up from your afternoon nap Mr. McBush and drop out of the race, pleeeeeease.

And McCain wasn't dishonest when he had an affair, the minute he returned from captivity? You would think after 5 years, he'd be happy to have his wife and kids back–Not.

If you want to talk about honesty, Mr. Straight Talk, let's talk about your wife's tax return. You can start with that, Mr. Slick.

We are on to you, Mr. McGoo–you're a loser who just wants another war.

OBAMA 08

Americans 're smart…he can't change his position on 100 years war…it won't work this time.

How is this dishonest? McCain wants us to believe that everything is great–which they McAIN'T!

OBAMA '08

That is the understatement of the year.
After much research I can state on authority that
Barack Obama is a liar.

whooooooooo… He said , "Yo momma!!!" If you're baaaad, I betcha you won't knock this stick off his shoulder??? You folks at CNN need to stop instigating and start investigating…

I'll bet you won't post this…

OBAMA 08,12

He either said it, or he didn't! Looks like he did as a McCain supporter has come out and said…"HE ALSO SAID…." No twisting here, just same old "politics as usual". Obama speaks it how it is, he isn't dishonest, he just failed to mention that you also said what this report entails. What happened to not running a NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN as you so elequantly put it on Hardball the other night McCain. What a joke!

OBAMA '08 — REAL CHANGE

Well, yeah, he is dishonest, and cheap. Obama donated less than .6% of his income to charities. His excuse was that he had a child on the way and college loans. He made more than 98% of Americans, and the average American donated twice as much as he did. He's greedy and cheap.

He lied during the debate about not criticizing Clinton on Bosnia unless provoked, he lied about his gun control positions, and he flip-flopped on several issues.

Obama is neck-deep in these silly political issues he claims to be above. Change? Yeah right!

Ummm McCain is your memory already going? You did say that as its on tape… You dont care how long the war goes on as long as it keeps going and going and going no matter what the cost financially or the loss of lives…. This is an unwinnable war…..

Obama 08

NO McCain is being dishonest to the People of the United States of America.

He's a liberal, of course he's twisting words, he twists more then Chubby Checker ever did!

It's so obvious Republicans want Hillary to win b/c she is the weaker candidate…

This is from the NY Times today:
In response, an Obama spokesman, Hari Sevugan, said Thursday: “Since Feb. 5, Senator Obama has garnered the support of 80 superdelegates to Senator Clinton’s 5. We’ll let the results of Senator Clinton’s ‘kitchen sink’ strategy speak for themselves.”

Seems like that speaks volumes.

NEWSFLASH–troop presence in Iraq means war. Mr. McGoo is not talking straight. The Straight Talk Express must have derailed.

Obama 08

Let the 2 on 1 season begin. Both McCain and Clinton are trying to sink Obama.

C'mon Dems! Let's get behind one candidate or the other so they dont have to fight two battles at once.

I think it's too late for Hillary to gracefully bow out, but not too late for her to slink away. (But i still have a picture of her in my head at someone else'e inauguration, still staunchly maintaining that it's not over yet… Maybe she's just trying to get a head start on the 2012 election…

Maybe Obama needs to just start ignoring everything that HRC says/does/etc, and begin acting like the presumtive nominee that he says he is…

As long as McCain (W's Mini-me) doesnt win i'm fine…

Obama is certainly a silver-tongued devil who has a lot of innocent people fooled.

Wouldn't you just love to know what kinds of things he says about America behind closed doors when he thinks no one is listening? I know I would.

100 years of great economic progress! KABOOM!

You did say those thing Mr. McCain and you have lost my vote.

Can't wait to here the McCain bashing from ignorant people and the other way around.

They are politicians. They all lie through their teeth. Obama proved he can't handle the situation after that horrible display at that so called "debate."

The truth is this: if they actually talked about the economy, you would turn it off because, as a society, a great many of us dont' care or lack the education to understand.

So for that, a great many of Americans will blindly vote based on catchy slogans or how they bowl… I think Amercians generally forget how well we have it…

Beyond the fact that Obama is a charlatan, what of the fact that in all reality, as a whole, there has been economic progress in this country? Minus the past 5-6 months where things have been dipping, can anyone deny the fact that this country has experienced economic growth?

Have we made great progress? Or we have seen the manufacturing base moved over seas, seen the outsourcing of major defense contracts outsourced over seas, seen our national debt raise to monumental levels? It is obvious that John McCain neither understands the economy nor cares about how deep a hole many of our citizens have fallen. No one is twisting his words…. he just said stupid things.

We democrats who support Senator Clinton may feel free to criticize Senator Obama, but we do not appreciate it from Senator McCain, especially when it comes to questions of character and not policy. How about waiting until we have a nominee.

The Straight Talk Express will not survive the Obama Juggernaut.

Obama 08

Yes, McCain is a good one to talk about "dishonesty" after he piled on and lambasted Obama about bittergate.

Oh, so Obama is recklessly dishonest because he quotes McCain directly and precisely?

Could there be a better illustration of why we need to get rid of the Republicans? They don't deny the stupid things they say. They just scream at people who point out how stupid they really are.

It's exactly what everyone is saying that has a brain.

OBAMA TALKS OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH.

HE IS A REAL SLICK WILLY… NOT TO MENTION HE AND HIS WIFE
ARE BOTH ANTI AMERICAN.

So, did he say the country has made great progress or not?

McCain gets a "two-fer" now, whenever he blasts Obama:

1. He is trying to hurt Obama's chance at the Dem. nomination now; this would let him go up against Hillary in the fall… which he'd much rather do than face Obama (his advisors have admitted as much; they can read the polls, too).

2. If it doesn't kill Obama now, then this is a good warm-up pitch for the November election.

Smart strategy for McCain.

…and twisting obama's comments about pennsylvanian's being bitter wasn't being "dishonest" either?

mccain is 100% out of touch, this country has NOT been economically sound or prosperous, or have made any gains whatsoever when you factor in the $Trillion + deficit we have dropped into. maybe if you're rich and have the tax code working for you, or fill up your gas tank on the tax payers' dimes, the economy is doing well, but for the rest of us, it's not.

Typical politics. A candidate says something and it gets twisted around so that no one understands what is said. This goes in both directions. The best thing would be for all the candidates to not say a word but we know this will never happen. Talk about a bunch of hot air and ozone layer depleting emissions.

McCCain is running scared - and he should be……….

Why didn't CNN give John McCains exact quote so we could determine wether or not his words were taken out of context?

Which pod person with zombie-like minions should I trust? That's a hard choice…

………………..DISTRACTION………………..

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING IN CINDY'S TAXES???

WHERE ARE YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS????

Just because you file separately, does not mean that you do not reap

the beenfits of your wife's money or political favors that may be

expected "via" business deals.

I don't see much word twisting here. McCain did actually say the economy has progressed in the last 7 1/2 years.

Regardless of what else McCain might have said, the fact that he said that is all the evidence we need that he was telling the truth when he said he didn't know much about the economy.

Problem is, that was the last truthful think the old right-winger said.

Obamas support has that cult feel to it?

"Do you understand that some people in this state find that patronizing and think that you said actually what you meant?" Gibson asked.

According to Obama supporters, Obama has already apologized for his poor choice of words. There is no reason for journalists to keep bringing this subject up except to generate more negative sound bites.

Some of the reaction from Obama's supporters has that arrogant, cult of personality quality to it, as if questioning Obama on these matters is simply beyond the bounds of decency.

I could never belong to a group such as his. He could seriously start his own cult organization. Im sure that CNN will not post this because they are playing damage control right now for their candidate. ABC nailed him point blank.

and the GOP has never been "recklessly dishonest?" McCain experienced it himself in 2000 from the same smear-merchants (Rove et al) who will now help him in trying to be elected. They made up all sorts of lies about him. Everybody does it so please put a lid on it "Mr Straight Talk."

McShame, McPain, McBomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran…enough said!

Obama is nothing short or a spoiled BABY!

He will Never WIN…PICK HILLARY!!!

McCain has the nerve to complain about Obama? He and Hillary twisted his comments regarding small towns just a few days ago!

It hurts when your comments are misconstrued, doesn't it! What, you can't take it!

So McCain which is it? And which exactly do you believe? That this country has made great progress of the past seven years or that families are facing tremendous economic hardship?!

No McCain, you can't have it both ways!

McCain camp calling out Obama for twisting his words and taking it out of context? Sounds like McCain is a little "bitter". Can somebody define "hypocracy"?

OBAMA IS A BABY!!

McCain distorts Obama's words and calls them elitist. Cry me a river.

They are both delusional …Hillary 08!

WAH WAH WAH!!!

Obama the liar strikes again. He's playing nice to get the nomination and then when he does get it he's going to do exactly what he says he has been going against. He's already getting some practice in!

McShame, McPain, McSame as Bush, McBomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran…enough said!

Obama will take you DOWN in a heart beat!

As a loyal democrat (I have never voted for any republican for any office) I can say that the longer this goes on, the worse Obama looks. He does not tell the truth, he has done nothing of substance during his entire political career.

Obama did the same thing about the 100 years comment.
The arrogant hypocrisy on the Obama camp is undeniable.
I am glad McCain stood up to him.

John McCain 08

Yep, and he has done it to Hillary also.

Obama and his campaign are a bunch of thugs.

Its amazing how Grandpa McSame clings to sanity. "Recklessly Dishonest" ???? Look Grandpa, you did say in YOUR OWN WORDS, we could be in Iraq for 50 or 100 yrs, that isn't distortion its verbatim. You said and are being quoted as 'We have made great progress economically in the last 7yrs", once again not distortion but verbatim. Out of context, I think not, out of touch is what John McCain is.

If I were to read the subtext of his latest statement that "We have made great progress" he actually means the rich, white, elitist neoconservatives that got rich off of the war in Iraq. It was great progress for them but not the average american. Someone please call the nursing home, there no-it-all-geezer is missing

Well, which is it McShifty, have we made "great progress" or are we "hurting"?

OK. Let's try honesty. Did you ever call your wife a trollop and a c-word that rhymes with runt?

You are an angry crude old man that sold your soul to the devil a long time ago.

Awesome site! Check out factcheck.org and find out the facts behind what the candidates claim as truth.

Mcsame, what's Good for the Goose it's sweet for the gander lets face it and this is just the beginning, welcome to Obama arena.

McBush is out of touch.

This is laughable. The Repubs can dish it out but they can't take it. McCain is totally out of touch with the American people.

Obama doesn't have to distort McCain's comments for political gain. McCain shoots himself in his own foot.

Is it dishonest not to reflect on the plight of many Americans who have suffered under the Bush Administrations "wreckless" economic agenda?! Speak to countless of Americans and you will here the same stories: gas prices, healthcare, and jobs. Where has McCain been for the last 7 years. Oh I forgot. Stuck somewhere?

Now lets hear all the obama backers cry fowl. I am a democrate and McCain spoke the truth about this. Obama twists everything to his own advantage and then crys fowl when he is subjected to the same thing.

How is that dishonest John? Everything Obama said, you were quoted as saying or maybe paraphrased. Oh! you just needed more of your lines to be repeated!.. I think it's time to call on Romney because you still don't understand how our economy works pups. CNN, post this please.

How is he being dishonest? McCain said what he said!

If anyone has ever read 1984, they can conceive politicians have a particular knack for simultaneously saying things are better *and* worse.

…you can't say "oh, there has been great economic progress" then turn around to those suffering worse than they have in years, and say "I know, I know families are facing 'tremendous economic challenges.'" At the least, its double-speak, so you can safely be on both sides of the issue. At the worst, its a denial of how bad things really are, particularly if you insist continuing Bush econ policies.

Mcain means nothing that he says and says nothing that he means.
Okay I guess he means that Americans face "tremendous economic challenges." even though the country "have made great economic progress over the past seven years"
And that would be correct. The 1% centers have raked it in over the past seven years leaving the rest of us with deep holes in our pockets.
Now how is Obama recklessly dishonest again.
Show me the money. where is it who has it. The government, the people or the 1% where is the progress?

Sorry John…you're gonna get laughed out of the courtroom with that claim.

MCain did say that, Obama was just quoting his words. McCain also said that he was aware the families were having hard times, but he also said the economy has made great progress as well.

Of course!

McInsane visited his wealthy supporters who have done extremely well under Bush and recently someone told him that there are a few people out there who are not, so he obviously knows how everyone is affected economically.

NOT!

"…noting the Arizona senator ALSO said he knows families are facing "tremendous economic challenges."

If he ALSO said he knows families are facing tremendous economic challenges, then what did Obama lie about? It seems to me he did say the economy is making great progress BUT, he knows there are struggling families. Unfortunately, there will always be stuggling families (whether the economy is good or not so good), however, the economy is NOT making great progress. So, McCain is still a little delusional in the area of economics.

what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Rank falsehood has been the bread and butter of the republican party for the last 8 years. They should be extremely comfortable with that.

I don't care if John McCain thinks this country has made great progress !! Obama is right, he's still clinging on to the Bush disconnect with the little people. If you can make stupid comments like that, then you still don't get what's going on with the economy!!!!

People wake up, please a vote for McCain is more of the same. If McCain wins you have no one to blame but yourselves. Remember you put Bush in office, TWICE !! I address this to the people who'd rather vote for McCain rather than vote for Obama or Clinton. VOTE DEMOCRATIC OR HOW ABOUT VOTING FOR COMMON SENSE !!!

OBAMA 08

errrr no mr. mccain sir. sounds like mr. obama got it pretty right to me.

not sure how you can cry foul when your policies do reflect a complacent attitude toward the economy. you must think we are doing ok

and why is no one ever allowed to criticize john mccain in terms of his stance on the issues? he gets so hot about it but it quick to criticize obama.

i call a foul for mccain on this one

The only distortion going on here is from the McCain camp, which is accusing someone speaking the truth of distortion!!!

This is such typical right wing bullshirt that you KNOW the same people are running McCain's campaign as got this country into this royal mess in the first place.

PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE DAMP DARK PLACE IT'S STUCK, REPUBLICANS!!!!

You Don't want the truth at CNN… Thgere is no more Cash to go around, only to redistribute…. Take off the White's and give it to the Black's..l. That's all Obama want to do.. And any white person who believe's different is another DREAMER……..

A barrel of oil was selling between 50 to 60 dollars when the Dems took over Congress. So, the price of gas, food, etc has gone through the roof under Pilosi and Reid's watch. For Obama to claim anything else is completely dishonest and a lie that he and Billary continue to feed to the American people. McCain is not the answer to our problems either but he's the best choice of the three!

McCain is smart enough to make Obama trip over his own words. Now if America would wake up from the "change tonic" they have been drinking from Obama they would see Obama is not right for our country!

McCain should go visit Charlie Crist in Florida and just stay there.
Please McCain stay with us in Florida and wait for your name to be call by God.

We don't need you in the White House.

No to Hillary and McSame

What McCain saying that Obama 'twists' his words!!!! Isn't that what he's been doing with Obama's words on rural america, the rev. wright talk, etc… I THINK MCCAIN IS ALREADY SHOWING SIGNS OF ALZHEIMERS! No wonder he won't release his medical records!!! Do us a favor McCain, drink your metamucil and stay in bed for the last 10 years of your life. The guy is just about reached the average life expectancy of men. And people want him to run our country from his geriatric chair.

"The McCain campaign has long argued Obama has a habit of twisting the presumptive Republican nominee's words. "

That is why I call Obama- a shrewd POLITICIAN

And Republicans think he is a "boy"..LOL

America heard the same thing Obama heard and John McCain's words were praise for Bush's progress on the economy and that's not the only time McCain has praised Bush. The only thing that's twisted here is McCain trying to turn and twist the feverent support he has always had for Bush. Further McCain doesn't get it on economy anyway, because he doesn't understand it, what a joke.

McSame did say that we were economically sound. only recently did he change his stance after some coaching by party officials that knows McSame has to play election year politics and know that none of these issues he is bringing up will stick if he becomes president. I will feel very sorry for all of us if he gets in the office. Nice man but is delusional about the war, economy and foreign affairs. Obama save us from him!!

Mr. McCain said Thursday to Bloomberg Television. When asked if he believed Americans were better off now than when President Bush took office, Mr. McCain conceded that people were facing “very challenging times.” But he went on to say, “You could make an argument that there’s been great progress economically over that period of time.”

Obama has a big mouth. He apparently thinks that Americans will overlook the long recovery from 9/11, or else be willing to blame the economic fallout from that event on the Republicans. Either way, the message seems to be that Americans are at best gullible, and at worst, stupid.

Yay..yay…Yes He Can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO MORE SUPERDELEGATES JUST ENDORSED……..My Barack!!!!

Congrats guys two more for the good guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA IS A LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was stunned to see Obama give Hillary Clinton the finger during a campaign rally in Raleigh NC. The Obama supporters roared in laughter when Obama did that.
Can anyone imagine Hillary Clinton giving Obama the finger and Clinton supporters laughing. They would have been called racists.
I have heard no Democratic Congressman or Senator call for an apology. That is shameful.
Obama is unelectable. He has self destructed in the last month!

I would probably vote for Senator McCain come November. But, it is fair to say that he has to watch what he says from here on out. What Senator Obama's says about Senator McCain is based on What Senator MCCain has said publically on dirfferent occusions ("100 years", "I do not understand econmics", "progress" ). He need not give many opening if he wishes to avoid such excanges.

well well well I see Obama can trow a punch and any thing that Bush has dine you stand bye so the point is is that your out if touch!! your lucky Clinton is not throwing you the kitchen sink you can even take the mop he tossed at you!

OBAMA 08

Actually, to say at all that there's been progress in last 7 years is laughable. Where???
And McCain did say is was going to have troops in Iraq for as long as 100 years. It wasn't unitl later that he cleared up what he actually meant.

And let's remember, McCain jumped on the bandwagon to critisize Obama's "bitter" statement. He himself did not address the whole of what Obama said. He took one fragment of the comments and ran with it. The only person who read the entirety of what Obama said, was Whoopi, on The View.

So McCain should think about what his imput was about someone else's comments before he gets all fired up when the same is done back to him. Obama took a sentence that he said, and focused on it.

Isn't what's good for the goose, also good for the gander???

Yes. That is exactly what he was, what he is,a nd what he will be. Unfortunately, so many people do not see through this. Americans stupidly voted for Bush twice, and they can not blame anybody if they make the same stupid mistake this time.

McBush is so out of touch and trying to run off the old politics playbook….PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING! I LIKE MOST PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO SAVE $$ TO SEND MY DAUGHTER TO COLLEGE IN 8 years AND PAY FOR HER TO EAT NOW AT THE SAME TIME!!! If she doesnt go to college then she will be poorer than I am!!! The GOPers and corporations should be on trial for high treason for selling out to the no so almighty anymore dollar…

So…. did I miss the part where people realized Obama is right on this one, or are we going straight to buying into the Republican nonesense

There you go. Another Obama spin… this guy Obama is a true politician. He is one big Con artist. How long will it take for Americans to wake up.

I can not wait for Obama to get McCain one on one. McCain is old and tired just like his GOP politics.

McCain used to be my favorit but in 6 months he has gone from maverick middle of the road to straight up GOP puppet.

Obama our next President.

Independent for Obama

CNN, where is the endorsement Sen. Obama get today on political ticker..is that not news?

So Obama repeated what McCain said - and McCain is upset about it because it doesn't fully reflect how he feels?

I think this is called politics. I guess it's okay when McCain and Clinton do this…but not when Obama does?

it is own now !!!!!! McCain is calling you out Obama you gonna take that ?!?!?!!?!? I can't wait until Hillary drops out and Obama can destroy McCain

He's been doing this to Hillary for months, and it's "fair game."

He does this to McCain, and it makes headlines.

BIAS? You betcha.

CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!

Superdelegates…where are you? Come out, come out whereever you are, and meet the young man who just fell from a star, he fell from a star, he fell very far, and Illionois he says is the name of his star…..

Seriously superdelegates, we really need to focus on McCain. Pack Hillary's bags, and send her home. We need a leader we can support, and in my book–Barack is that leader.

Obama 08

The truth is McCain said that. There was no distortion.

McCain didn't include everything Obama said in the "bitter" comment, so why should Obama include everything McCain said.

So, McCain isn't denying that he said those words? Sounds like he essentially said "We've made great progress… and some people are still poor." A lie + a truth is still a lie.

No, no, no McCain…..Obama is the victim here. All of you are trying to bamboozle us, the old okie doke, hoodwink us.

I repeat Obama is always the victim.

so instead of having daily spin conference call responses from Hillary, Mccain will be taking over for her?

I belive that is called a losing strategy.

John McCain said there has been

"great progress economically over the last seven and a half years"

Really? What progress? With a huge trade deficit with CHINA, the housing crisis?

What is this old man talking about??????????

Be careful McCain. I don't think your old heart can take the stress. You are no match for the healthy, young Obama. You can "spin" all you want, but the American people are way too smart for your campaign lies. Get out of the way and let the capable take the country to a new horizon.

"recklessly dishonest"
"intentionally twisting"
"deliberately distorting"

So in other words…McCain did say it, they just don't like that Obama is telling it to a crowd in Erie, PA.

This is completely laughable. And those exact words can be used to describe the Bush Administration actions in the last 7 years. Who wants more of McSame? Please.

Barack just got three endorsements, I think from Robert Rice and two others. What's the scoop CNN?

Obama 08

This is no surprise, he is campaigning with Hillary. Everyone knows this. Who can be more 'reckless' and 'dishones' than he and the Bush administration, and Hillary.

Is OBAMA playing Politics here?

CHANGE INDEED.

HILLARY 2008!

America, please save us from the likes of John McSame
McBush
McWar
McKeating5 scandal
Mc…

All politicians are dishonest, including Mr. McCain.

Do you believe this article?

Look who is talking about twisting words completely out of context!!!!!!!!! What is it they say? Oh yes.

What goes around comes around!!!!!!!!!!!!

John McCain is ou of touch.

Oh be quiet whiner McCain! You made a big huge deal of Obama's response to a question by calling Obama an elitist and you knew you were twisting his words, so stop being a hypocrite. You are definitely the one out of touch with the American people.

Obama is the biggest lie of the century. He fooled a million donors. People who still supports him is kind of brain-washed by Obama cult. The presidency is too important to just based on "hope".

Research, research and research!

Wake up, America!

Why are the Republicans attacking Obama more than they're atacking Hillary? Why do they want him out more than they want Hillary out?
hmmm….

Is the McCain camp serious? When the American people are struggling, the last thing you want to say is that great progess economically over the last seven and half years REGARDLESS IF YOU TACT ON THIS "tremendous economic challenges" statement.

To many Americans, the last seven years have been horrible so NO you will not win any points by simply indicating "tremendous economic challenges" statement as an after thought.

And to think that HIllary & the rest of the anti Obama supporters were worried about McCain. McCain is clearly out of touch!

Mc Cain Please don’t attack on Obama
Obama still whining and crying about the debate
Some main stream media are worried about their boy is crying
If you attack him now they will bit you
Obama what you are hiding we want to know

But he is QUOTING McCain . . . I don't get it - is the quote incorrect?

Is it correct but somehow McCain saying he knows people are facing "tremendous economic challenges" is supposed to make it sound better that he thinks the Bush admin has brought great economic progress? Because if the quote is accurate, McCain needs to do a lot more explaining than just saying 'I know there are economic challenges'!!!

Uh….excuse me…I'm trying to remember anytime in the past two weeks where I heard anything other than sniping in the political debate–like, say, an idea?

McSain is being pathetic … Obama just repeated what the AZ Senator had said. McSame is scticking to the Bush policies so he can gain the support of the core group of the republican party, the conservatives.

McCain,
You're old.

mCnuts Leave Our Country Alone.

Enough of the Same.

I Can Not Believe mCbush Collects Social Security.

they worth more than $100 million…

===Campaign instructions to Cindy:
1.Smile

4.Take your medicine

"great progress economically over the last seven and a half years,"

So please Mr. McCain, tell us what that means then. Even without Obama's comments, I derived the same message from those words.

Recklessly honest? Hmmm…

Does that mean that it's "safe" to lie to the American people? It is better to withhold information from the people? Are we to believe that the truth will somehow harm us?

Yep… That's the same old politics!

this felt like a punch from an 80 year old man :/

is that all you got, mccain? pop some geritol and try again

but as long as we're clarifying, which is it?

have we made great progress economically over the last seven and a half years? or do we facetremendous economic challenges?

which?

i'll step out on a limb and have the "audicity" to presume that you know what you're talking about.

OBAMA is right… Mccain is so rich that he cant even see how bad the economy is… MCCAIN said it…

OBAMA 08

I guess McCain and Hillary are really one big happy family!! But guess what, Obama is going to beat all of the four candidates: McCain, Bill, Chelsea, and the notty Hillary.

I must confess that I trully wouldnt mind if McCain or Obama won the Presidency, but not the LIER HILLARY.

McCain - Obama, America needs you! Good luck to both yo'll.

Thank you McCain! Im tired of Obama playing victim, when him and his campaign are exactly doing what they state they are against. Actions speak louder than words.

Just once I would like to see Senator McCain attack Hillary Clinton the way he does Barack Obama.

Oh yes I forgot he would never do that they are cronies!
Senator McCain would you like to discuss what you and Clinton were saying in your "private meeting" after the Colbert show? And where are your wife's tax returns? Every citizen does have a right to privacy - until their spouse is about to become THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD

Cindy McCain will be in the White House if John McCain were to win. Clinton and Obama have released their families' returns. Why is Cindy McCain so special? Could it be that Johnny boy doesn't want us to realize what a hippocryte he was for calling Obama an elitist when he cheated on his first wife with his second, younger, FILTHY RICH heiress wife??

John McCain you are a phony. No wonder Bush endorsed you McSame!!

Obama in 2008!!

STOP WHINING! THE JOHN MCCAN'T CAMPAIGN WERE THE FIRST TO JUMP ON OBAMA WITH THAT "ELITEST" AND "OUT OF TOUCH" CRAP!

ADDITIONALLY, CINDY IS OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN STUMP YELLING ABOUT "HOW PATRIOTIC SHE IS" ALL THE WHILE USING FAKE RECIPES AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND FAILING TO DISCLOSE HER TAX RETURN!

YOU REPUBLICANS WERE THE FIRST TO ASK FOR BILL CLINTON'S TAX RETURN AND A LIST OF DONORS TO HIS PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND PLANTED SEEDS ABOUT MICHELE OBAMA'S PATRIOTISM!

IF IT MATTERS FOR BILL AND MICHELE — IT MATTERS FOR CINDY! THIS CRAP ABOUT HER CHILDREN ARE AN INSULT — BOTH OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE CHILDREN TOO!!!

McCain does nothing wrong..just ask him and his campaign. John McCain is the weakest republican to run in ages. Either dem will eat his lunch. His camp especially fears Obama because he will draw in new people in waves and many republicans that don't like McCain will sit this one out.

After admitting that there has been economic progress over the last 8 years, McCain went on to say "But that's no comfort. That's not comfort to families now that are facing these tremendous economic challenges".

Why did Obama selectively ignore this part when he decided to attach McCain?

McSame is correct, the last 7+ years have been booming for a privileged few….

All the candidates should stop paraphrasing each other. They should only quote each other in proper context and then explain and stand by their explanations if they misspoke. Its all a game and everyone is sick of it….we just want to know who stands for what and what they will be trying to accomplish when in office. Obvioulsy, they have to act according to the situation existing at the time the issue arises and work with the congress and the rest of the institutions so we know they cant do exactly what they hope to. We just want a general idea of what they stand for and if they can be trusted to try and accomplish it. All the rest is pointless focus on details that will change.

MCAIN IS TWISTING GEORGE BUSHS RECORD ON EVERYTHING.THE WAR.THE ECONOMY….

Can McCain even remember himself what was said? That is without Liebermann at his side to give him the correct answers.

so let me get this straight… McCain can twist Obama's words and call him him elistist for the whole week, but if Obama uses McCain's words, thats foul play?
Only in McCain's world that argument makes any sense.

But Obama doesn't even want to have a "presence" there for 100 years. He wants all the troops home and that's the difference. So I disagree. Obama is not lying about what McCain said. McCain is the one who is trying to renege on that hideous statement. He's just mad because Obama is picking up on it.

Anyone willing to continue George Bush failed policies would be crazy. It will be much more crazy to vote for anyone who wants to continue the failed policies of the last seven years.

I don't see any context at all in which "there has been great progress economically" is a rational, viable statement. John McSame is an idiot.

John McCain did say he would be OK with having troops in Iraq for 100 years if necessary, I heard him.

If John McCain does not want to be criticised for saying something, then best not to say it in the first place. It's easy to keep blaming Obama. But Barack Obama is simplyy being intelligent and quick enough to pick up on some of the truly absurd and out-of-touch comments John McCain says.

I have become profoundly disenchanted with B.O. As soon as he discovered that he is not above scrutiny, he became exactly what I had so naively believed he wasn't….a politician in every sense of the word.

How the heck have we made progress economically? If McCain's ever picked up an econ textbook he'd know all these tax cuts, spending, and deficit would lead to a recession and an even weaker dollar

And so?

Those that fail to do justice don't deserve justice.

We know. Obama likes to twist things to his advantage. He's been doing that and getting away with it for months now

For George Bush's entire time in office, McCain has been toughting that we are better off and that they hard times we have been going through a largely psycchological.

Remeber the GOP debates:

"FORMER SEN. JOHN MCCAIN: I think you could argue that Americans overall are better off, because we have had a pretty good prosperous time, with low unemployment and low inflation and a lot of good things have happened. A lot of jobs have been created."

With continued comments like that one coming out of your mouth, how is Barack or anyone supposed to think different.

Of course you admittedly have no experience with the econony or economic issues.

Senator Obama is correct, Mr. Bounds. You, sir, are wrong.

To look across this country at the millions of people without insurance, loosing their jobs and homes, retirement funds wiped out, futures either put on hold or completely demolished, Social Security and Medicare on the verge of collapse and then say "there has been great progress economically…" is not facing the true nature of the situation in this country.

It is a failed test of your candidate's understanding of basic America.

Ok so basically O'bama wasn't dishonest. It was exactly what Mccain said. The campaign did not say that he didn't say that, they are saying that :he also said, that people are facing tremendous economic challenges".

My question is how can we have economic growth but you also say that we have economic challenges? If we had growth there would be no economic challenge!! Right?

I mean really!!

McCain has also said Obama will raise everyone's tax. When in fact he will lower taxes for those under $200k/year.

McCain is a little too pious. I thought the pope lived in Rome.

One question. Did McCain say that over the past years the economy was good? Yes. What is there to misunderstand? It only took him three times before he finally made any kind of statement that American familys are hurting. Please tell me how are the words being twisted. I don't care who which Dem. candidate is saying it. I want an honest answer. Looks to me that the only twisting being done is by the Republican party. Oh, I am an Independent sitting on the fence.

The economy and how it is viewed is a legitimate issue. The only people who feels that this ecomony has made GREAT PROGRESS over the last 7 and 1/2 years are those who have profited from it. And that would be corporate america. Because it is surely not you and I.

Obama made not understand predominantly white middle america and said they are fearful of change (another word for bigotry), but at least he is not profiting off of it. And send you babies off to war to fight for an interest that you yourself have no clue of.

Republican Right Wing won't say predominantly white middle of america is fearful of change but they are banking on middle america's bigotry. And are going to say Obama does hold your values sacred then they are going to ship your jobs overseas. Make profit by selling your land to china corporations. Profit greatly from trade agreements made off your closing factories. Then ship your babies off to fight their wars. But they will cut your taxes.

Last question what good is a tax cut if you don't have a job.

well mccain,get a taste of your own medicine,when you twisted obamas "bitter" comments it was okay,hypocrite.
obama 08

CNN is so pro Barry Obama that its really beginning to make me sick. They post an article about Hillary telling Obama to stop crying and close comments after 10 responses? Or was it they only posted 10 pro Obama responses and not the 250 NOBAMA responses?

At least Fox and MSNBC post everyone. Sorry CNN but most of us don't believe your candidate can win.

GOBAMA and take your finally proud to be an American wife with you!

All I need to know about the character of McCain is that he called his wife the "C" word in front of reporters back in 1992, and 1998 he said "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”

Thats all I need to know about McCain.

This coming from the heir to the GWB legacy. Give me a break!

Guess what? McCain said it and Obama had every right to call him on it. How dare he call him 'recklessly dishonest' for a direct quote. Perhaps McCain had another senior moment and forgot he said it?

Yeah, he'd be recklessly dishonest if Grumpy McGrandpa didn't actually say that, but of course, he did.

Give me a break what a wind bag hello the more lies and negative garbage that Sen Clinton and Mc Cain toss at Obama helps him! They are both so out of touch they have no idea what is going on in America. He did very plainly say that we have made great economic progress over that period of time.He has got to be joking if anyone believes that they don't know the first thing about economics Of but that is right Mc Cain already said he does not know much of econimics

Go Obama 08

Of course Obama is right. Are we better off today after 8 miserable years of Bush, war, slumping economy, rising gas prices …. ????

Yah, Yah, Yah,

So I guess we should elect a befuddled old man who repeatedly gets Sunnis and Shiites mixed up - and foreign policy is supposedly his strong suit. Can't wait for his gaffs on economic policy.

If Lieberman has to stand next to him to correct slip-ups on foreign policy, who's going to coach him on economics?

For McCain to say there has been "great progress economically over the last seven and a half years" either makes him an economic idiot, a liar, naive, or all three. If he's not fooling himself then he's trying to fool the American public. Unfortunately, some actually believe him. For McCain to say that families are facing "tremendous economic challenges" is clearly a sugar coated understatement and contradictory to his statement of great progress economically.

We as a nation don't need McCain who's living in economic la-la land and not the real world.

He quoted John McCain word for word?

I don't see how anything got distorted…

How is it being "recklessly dishonest" by repeating what John McCain said about the economy? This is called discussing the issues. This is not the same as personal attacks. If John McCain can't understand the difference between discussing real issues and distraction issues, then he is out of touch with what the voters are truly concerned about.

Obama is change we don't need or want.

Politics. Hyperbole matched with overstatement.

If anyone is going to twist John McCain's words around it's going to be John McCain. He's for tax cuts, except voted against the Bush tax cuts. He's against policing the world, but supports the occupation of Iraq. He says he's a conservative, yet consistantly votes like a Democrat/Independant. McCain, the ultimate flip-flopper.

wow, does mccain remember how many times he has flip flopped? He doesn't have a base of republican party because of changing positions. Give it up mc.
You are singing from the same hyme book with Hillary. You took so long to know we have a housing crisis and we don't need you telling us about war. Since that day you said Bomb bomb Iran, shows how reckless and dishonest you are since Iran has no nuclear weapons.
And:

No country for Old men!

Well John McCain did say it. It's not just some families facing economic challenges…it's MANY Americans except those with beer companies. I am not sure I'll be comfortable with a president who thinks this current economic dissolution is an advancement.

You went to Europe recently, the dollar ain't great there, is it Bush III?

Yes! How dare Obama… how dare he… what did he do wrong here? McCain is sounding like Hillary.

Hey McCain team,

If you want Obama to stop calling out stupid comments by McCain, maybe you should get your candidate to stop saying stupid things!

Great comeback John.
Look at all of our 401 K's and real job growth–compared to the rest of the world.

However…government decisions to spur biofuels and divert resources from food production–partnered with the burst of the housing bubble (that everyone predicted would come this year or next) are the biggest problems feeding our economic fears.

Jobless claims also–do not truly reflect the seriousness of our current recession. Remember–millions of jobs that people don't have now–are part time or seasonal and not eligible for unemployment benefits.

Both Clinton and Obama–are focusing on everything WRONG and BAD–to create fear and gain public acceptance "Nanny state" ideology as an alternative to the bleak picture they paint of capitalistic ideology.

I don't think our founding fathers, nor the framers of our consititution would have agreed with the unAmerican values of Karl Marx.

OH……Quit Whining !!!! Wahhhhhh !!!

well did McCain say what Obama said he did? You never really tell us that in the article. You said that McCain "also said"…….but didn't give us the whole quote of what McCain said. Again, the media gives us soundbites and not the whole story.

Here's another child running for presidency.

McCain is the mouth of 100 factions. Every time this man says something, it gives Democrats ammunition to attack him.

McCain cannot say we have had economic progress in the last 71/2 years, and then say he knows people are suffering. He is delusional.

What does 7 years of great progress mean under the Bush Administration? Economic progress?, The only people doing well are the rich folks. The CEO's,and big corporate companies that Mc Cain supports. There is no twisting of words here. It is pretty clear. I are onto Republican's.

Sen. John McCain has a point about the economy despite the recent downturn. Where were the critics of President Bush when the economy was doing well for the previous five years? Why no mention of the millions of jobs created and the sustained low unemployment rate? When do we get to see in the media the progress being made on the ground in Iraq, such as the infrastructure, schools, businesses, etc.? And how is it that we have not been attacked since 9/11? While it is easy to demonize someone, including the president, it says more about us than him.

Please dont get your diaper in a bunch John.

Comedy! Like a republican is the one to cry foul ball. Hey Mc Cain it's not like you are busy campaigning, just get up there and explain yourself. But giving you claim that you are not strong on economics I mean its not out of order for people to think when you say the economy is not hurting that you are completely out of touch with the everyday people. By far in comparison with the other running mates you have been living well for a long time. Come to think of it why are you running for president at the age of 71 or so, knowing you should be more of a person on the board than at the helm (president) of the corporation. I mean when the society talks of candidates just wanting to run out of popularity or for power i'm sure you are definitely the one who fits it better than them all. Let it go my friend

Am I bad for wishing that one of these candidates gets up on a podium and just starts cussing and hollering and throwing up heir middle finger at the other candidate while grabbing their crotch and making vulgar gestures? For some reason I would just love to see that at this point in this thing…

McCain, who has 8 houses and is married to the heiress to a beer fortune, can't possibly understand that America has not seen "great economic progress."

For the record, George Stephanopoluos did a horrible job, and Charlie wasn't far behind him. I think the too of them should never do another debate unless they promise to be grown-ups. George should have recused himself since he worked in the Clinton administration.

America is furious, and Hillary, Obama is not whining, and he certainly will never cry the way you did in NH. But his supporters are stating the obvious, which is you had help the other night. Having to debate three people, I'd say Obama did a fabulous job.

IT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT. WHAT I MEANT TO SAY. WELL WHAT I REALLY MEANT WAS . I QUESS I COULD OF SAID IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY AND HE DOES EVERTIME HE IS ASKED TO EXPLAIN A LIE SORRY CONTRADICTION HE IS A MASTER AT TWISTING WORDS BUT DON'T YOU DARE ACCUSE HIM OF IT. HE FEELS HE IS SOMEHOW ABOVE REPROACH TO QUESTION IS WORDS IS BEEING BIAS RACIST OR YOU RESORTING TO WASHINGTON TYPE POLITICS.I AM NOT ELITEST JUST BEYOND QUESTIONING

Obama thinks's, he's the "Black" "Robin Hood" But King John will always send him back to the Forrest in Tatter's….

Look at foxnews when Obama "makes the finger " at Hillary! If you elect Obama I will never visit USA again

Between his politics and his personality he doesn't stand a chance against Barack Obama…if he is the best the repugs can do they are more desperate than i previously thought.

I thought McCain was some sort of war hero. Why is he such a big crybaby all the time?

Mccain is a reckless warmonger!

So Obama gave a direct quote of McCain's. That is not being disputed. Nothing dishonest about it.

It is McCain's decision to promote the Bush administration. Live with it.

So when McCain says "Obama is going to raise your taxes," is that recklessly dishonest? Off course it is. Obama has said he will not raise the tax on anyone making below $200,000. Yet, the media won't follow up on that.

yeah sure, here is a guy who accepts the endorsement of Pastor Hagee and his false ministry.
Who is being dishonest here ?

GRREAT! Here we go again. Can we all just focus on the fact that McCain (McBush Jr.) was in deep denial about the economy and the current recession. When we start with name calling we get nowhere! Remember Mr McCain how much you didn't like the war mongering label???

So back off the smack talk and focus on the issues.

WOW! The folks who have subverted the truth for years are claiming someone from the democratic party has been "recklessly dishonest". Are you kidding me?

How long until the Republicans start there smear campaign? O can answer that, as soon as Obama or Clintion gets the nod.

I am an Independent, but man the Republicans and W have left a real sour feeling in my stomach. I don't even want to hear what they have to say for the next couple of decades. How W was able to trick the good people of the U.S. not once, but twice will never cease to amaze me.

Go take a nap, Mcshame.

GO OBAMA!

What "great progress economically over the last seven and a half years" is McCain speaking about? Please point out specifics because I can't think of any without any real stretch of the imag
