Obama has taken over a million dollars in donations from sub-prime lenders. Citigroup,Washington Mutual,Countrywide,Credit Suisse, Centex and Goldman Sachs. He is beholden to them and their tatics. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. He is a typical politician who will say what he thinks you want to hear. Rev. Wright said it all, Obama is a politician who says what a politician needs to say to win."

Right McCain.

Problem is, everyone now views the WMD claim as a smoke&mirror for the real cause for war: OIL

I certainly hope that CNN runs this particular faux paux 50x. Is it possible that someone who is running to be President of the United States actually said (and he did because I was watching) that the US went to war because of oil. If you follow this stupidy through, the US invaded a country for oil, spent trillionsof dollars in that war, almost decimated the economy and now gasoline is how much? $4,00 a gallon!! Clearly that was excellent judgement. John McCain is scary!

Latest news - OOPS! he made a mistake - he was talking about some other war; he gets confused, so perhaps he meant the Boar War, he was in it wasn't he??

you want to know why the republicans are backing hillary is because they know her well. let me tell you what the republicans will use to defeat her
1- bosnia lies
2- vote for the war in iraq
3-nafta mess
4-comlombia trade
5- she stated that she won't redraw troops in iraq because going for president
6- credit card bill
7-hillary credibility

Mccain is not telling us anything we don't already know. We went to war in Iraq for the oil, and he will continue the old bush politics to stay there until we take the country over. Do we want this man in the White House with his finger on the button???? He won't remember what it was that he pushed the button for.

Is this man McCain dreaming?

Maybe he should start thinking about the reality.

McCain, can you give and answer to this question, how long do you think our soldier should stay in Iraq in reality not in dream world?

McCain is getting senile! This guy is untrustworthy and has no business being President.

now we know the reason for Iraq war.

Charlotte you are such a liar! Those donations were from small donors who work for those companies. Wow you're just like the candidate you represent.

We know for a fact the USA has never benifited from the invasion of Iraq, not then and certainly not now. Where is the oil money Iraq is raking in going? It is about time they took care of themselves. We are responsible for the destruction of this country, we are not responsible for their inability to form a government that works. We can't even fix our own…

This has just two comments? TWO? Hillary wants to obliterate Iran, using language that reveals her as irresponsible and naive (no president in the past 50 years has ever advocated publicly to obliterate another country) and it gets swept under the rug. McCain admits, despite any backpedaling, that we are in Iraq because of oil, and not much traction in the media. But if Obama gets asked another Rev. Wright question the Internets light up. Un-freakin-believable.

Because McCain is so old he forgot that the American people was told that we were going to war about WMDs instead Oil. Now he is trying to cover up the truth when he knows the real reason we went to war was about oil which he clearly stated.

Everybody in the world knows that he was not referring to the Gulf War!

Thanks McSame!

OBAMA 08

Charltte, Do you have any proof ? If not could you please not make such false statement. People are fed up of these baseless lies.

Thanks

mccain went on to say 'we went to war for wmds',not oil.this was the biggest lie of all!the only chemical weapons found were sold to iraq ,by the us.they were 30 -50 years old.next,he'll say we're fighting terrorists in iraq.the terrorist's didn't arrive until after the 'occupation' began.4050+ dead americans and tens of thousands of iraqi deaths,and our gov. is responsible for it.those who authorized this war are just as guilty as the administration that waged it,and all of them should be jailed for misleading the american people into supporting it.

TO Charlotte, what this aricle has to do with OBAMA?
The article is not even about donations, it's about war and its reasons.
So sad, you're pathetic just wanna talk bad about OBAMA no matter what the topic is.

"He is beholden to them and their tatics. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. He is a typical politician who will say what he thinks you want to hear."

To Mr. Charlotte Uniformed, so to break it to you but Mc Same offers us nothing but another 4000 casulaties for oil,,,, Ya, good luck with that.

I don't believe him. and as a militray member it sickens me to hear this comming from another military Member, and a former POW at that.

I would rather fight against terror, and find those responsible for 911, I dont want to fight over Oil, a battle that we seem to be loosing right now

I think he said what he meant the first time, the golf war wasn't even the topic, he knows that we are fighting to fill the pockets of the Big Oil Companies.

I'm so pissed at his comments I don't know what to do.

His effort to quickly clarify his statement made him not only look foolish, but the REAL reason for Bush's unlawful war so apparent. Oil. Blood for oil, folk. USA went there so Exxon-Mobile and Texaco could have prime digging rights.

If McCain gets elected, it will be another 4 years of George W Bush policies but under a new name.

God help us. W has done enough damage to America, and the rest of the world. We can not stand by and let this damage continue.

Hillary - drop out now so the Democratic party may be unified - you've done enough damage already.

Obama 08

Charlotte - you have to learn - how " to read and understand reading".

If you want World War 3 then vote for the good ol boy John Maccain. This man is crazy!

What does this article have to do about Obama? I'm glad the truth finally slipped out from McCain. He knows better than anyone what this war was about. We keep Musharif in power in Pakistan yet we get rid of Saddam Hussain. We ignore Kim Jong Ill in North Korea who HAS WMDs, yet we get saddam hussain for "thinking" of having WMDs. People need to realize that the US gets in conflicts in regions of political interest. The couldn't care less about the rest of the world. That is the government that represents us.

Let see if this is a six week story like bittergate and Wright. Let's run this video 24/7.

Why is main stream media letting this go by unnoticed?

Bitter and Bosnia get front page covered but McCain saying we won't have to fight a war AGAIN in the Middle East if we are independant of their oil?!?!?!?!?!/

Charlotte you R as idiotic as McCain .Give it a rest & try to focus on non smoke screen fodder.
R

Charlotte how is these nonsense comments of yours have to do with Maccain war for oil?

Oh I guess, Maccain is secord name for your candidate Hillary Clinton or you just hate Obama and you just don't know where to post your comment.

You are a disgrace you have no respect for yourself and for America. Shame on you Charlotte God will purnish you if you exaggerate news to suit your hates and to portray any candidate in a bad light.
God will reward you for anything wrong information against any candidate and you will suffer your entire life for this, even after election is over for sready false rumour.
Amen Charlotte.

Dis bottle a geritol smells like feets… oops… gulp, I means deceits.

Finally he is telling the truth…

Chalotte - So we are to vote against Obama because Rev. Wright was telling the truth?

The McCain campaign is a train wreck waiting to happen. These little bumps are just foreshadowing of the derailment that's going to happen after the convention.

McBush is mentally losing it. He can't communicate and gets confused easily. God help us if this man is elected…Cindy and LIEberman will be running things.

oops. nice one.

I for one am angered when politicians get caught saying what they mean and, when the fury arises over their beliefs, spinning instantly on their heels in an attempt to convince me that I didn't hear them say it. Call me overly sensitive, but, I just don't take kindly to people calling me stupid. McCain's willingness to trade American lives for oil is a moral failure significant enough as to disqualify him to be the leader of the free world.
C.W. O'Connor
Berwick ME USA

Obama is NOT qualified to be the President!
TO; Charolette, save your breath, the Obama hate camp are like children that covers their ears because they cant handle the trueth!

I wait for the far left radicals to give Obama the election, then when he loses to Mccain and his senate seat! we can all breath a little easier!

Hillary or McCain never the Obamas , they are anti-American,

Freudian slip?He should have stuck with the truth,at least I could have respected him for that.Im sad to say,but now that we are there,there will never be a total pull out of troops or lives lost.John and Hillary are sad little human beings.

McCain has gone and done it.. he let the cat out of the bag… he "misspoke" and told the truth. Now he wants to take the truth back. Oh well, most folks are uninformed enough and uninvolved enough to allow this "misspeak" of the truth to go unnoticed… GOP wins again.

He spoke the truth…this war will not be over until we gain control of the oil…which is why they will not define what winning is in Iraq. the sad thing is that the Iraqis will never allow us to take ontrol of their oil. Now I hope Obama wins because I think Clinton deep down understands the real reason we are in Iraq and supports it.

One more reason we need to elect Hillary Clinton.

McCain is too old, he can't remember what he says from one minute to another.

In addition, don't take us for stupid McBush. The war is for oil and Israel. It's so obvious.

McCain has gotten a free ride up to now. He is outside of the radar, yet, virtually every time he opens his mouth he misspeaks or seems to get confused. I hope he gets a more critical view from the media and voters going forward.
And, yes, Charlotte, those donations to Obama are from individual doners who are tabulated by the company they work for (and industry) once their donations are $200. Your accusation is false and misleading. If I make a donation it is listed by the company I work for and the industry I work in.

Obama has as much to do with this artical as paulvclinton has to do with every aticle that is posted. I googled the the article like the rest of you morons gooled paulvclinton…

What is sad about this is Hillary will probably follow suit ,scary.Charlotte ,go suck a lemon high school dropout.

Thank you Nora and James for pointing out that CHARLOTTE needs to read!! This article has absolutely nothing to do with Obama!! Duh! Now pertaining to this article…I'm sorry with all due respect John McCain has had another "senior moment" he tried to back track what he said later, and I read the transcript of the news confrence with the press, he was just talking jibberish his words made no sense?He couldn't determine what war he was refrencing??It was sad. I'm sorry he is too old to run the country! I

Thanx 4 these information: McCain.

I knew it, america went to war because of oil. Thank you McCain the world have been waiting to hear these. Thank you Once more.

Sorry about the typos, but you get my drift…

Mac wants to stay the course and keep the war machine rolling. Hillary hypothetically vows to obliterate Iran. People still want to vote for these two?

Charlotte i guess you just wokeup from whatever you were in. The truth hurt people lives are at stake in this election and you are out there spreading false rumour about Obama!
The topic is about war that we ought not to fight and now after over 4,000.00 lives were lost the truth is coming out . Maccain and Hillary who voted to asking Bush to use any force against Iraq regarding WMB, eventhough there was evidence to the contrary. No WMB in Iraq , but most senator including Hillary failed to ready the fine print.

Now Maccain is saying that the war was for oil. Shame on politician who voted to authorised the war.
God knows how the ordinary people suffer for this misstakes.

You are a disgrace you have no respect for yourself and for America. Shame on you Charlotte God will purnish you if you exaggerate news to suit your hates and to portray any candidate in a bad light.
God will reward you for anything wrong information against any candidate and you will suffer your entire life for this, even after election is over for spreading false rumour.
Amen Charlotte.

Charlotte is as confused as McCain. McCain is now attributing his comment to the Kuwait Invasion by the Sr. BUSH..ahhh..making the comparison like father like son. They push the military and this country into an invasion for OIL, period. The same players of the club were in Sr Bush's camp, so as you can see it was inevitable.

McCain is having a senior moment, he just can't remember which one.

Liar, liar , liar, just like the Clinton. The reason you both vote for the war was not for WMD but for Irak's oil… Were are not stupid..

………..Dear John McCain..

………..what is the acceptable daily death rate for the OIL WAR?

…………Yes.. We.. Can …. will not have this kind of acceptance..

A lot of people keep saying Obama's not tough enough to fight the Rep. I find that odd when he's doing pretty good considering he's been running against Hillary and McCain over the past couple of months. In addition, has anyone noticed how much McCain and HIllary agree on things. I guess friendship will come before America!

We don't and didn't have to be in Iraq at all. Then the same people who are protesting China's treatment of Tibet could be spending their time protesting Saddam's treatment of the Kurds and the Shi'ites.

Freudian Slip? A war about oil and Bush W's Daddy ?

It is funny how old people get confused.

McSame is providing the best sound-bites for Obama in November,

CNN, report on Peter Paul Vs. Clinton

Obama '08

What a surprise! Can you imagine that John Mcbush would actually admit that we are spilling the blood of our youth in Iraq is for the sake of feeding the coffers of Big Oil. That's is more than a mere Freudian slip.

Just as sure as the sun rises the corporate media will sweep this gaffe under the short term memory of a news cycle and the country will continue to be run on historical amnesia and platitudes about saving the world for democracy. After all we have to get back to the important issues like who has the most prominent flag pin.

By the way I heard a rumor that a prominent black politician ( I won't use his name) was seen in an Indonesian airport in 1992 when the fourth cousin twice removed of Osama Bin Laden landed on the tarmak. He also was so conspiratorial that he hides the horror of his unmentionable middle name. Joe McCarthy, where are you when we need a true sense of fairness?

Can someone clarify the reamrks of Pastor Hagee with his anti-Catholic remarks. It is amazing to me that someone who also teaches a false gospel can attack Catholics with this kind of bigotry.

Hagee is part of the false teachings that are heard all over the world these days. This is a secular nation and we shouldn't be so concerned about all this talk of prayer in the school and having the Ten Commandents in the court houses.
Hagee must repent !!

OMG! why is this not in the cover of every newspaper! or on every news network. A Republican finally admits that we sent our sons, and daughter to war over oil, yet! gas prices are higher that ever! Notice how this is not making major new, but Rev. Wright is worth covering… yeah right. I could care less about what Wright has to say he does not pay my bills nor buy my groceries. The only candidate that is about some serious truth in washington and is for the people in America is OBAMA. Hillary Clinton and John McCain with all their so call experience is about politics as ususal, Politics as usual tells us we can rescue the big giant companies (BEAR STEARNS) with billions of dollars but only save the average family $26 to $30 for the summer with this tax holiday gimmick! Hillary and John needs to give the American people more credit than that we are a lot smarter that they think. I can't even do some serious grocery shopping with $26 to $30. When we take a look at hour economy we can't afford politics as usual. TIME FOR CHANGE… YES WE CAN!

Hey Charlotte - Get your facts straight. Are you voting for Hillary or McShame? Their campaigns are 80% supported by PAC's and lobbyists. Barack takes NO money from PAC's and lobbyists. All candidates take money from bundlers, which is just a name for a person who gathers groups of people together to raise money for a particular candidate.

"My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East," McCain said.

It amazes me that a leader in the Senate and a Presidential hopeful can state that we went to war for oil (no matter which war) and it not be a major news story. If we can spend 24 -hour coverage on Obama's pastor we can at least address issues directly affecting our nations security and policy.

Typical "fed-up" White Woman

clinton=mcain=bush. all the old washington people

obama 2008

Darren- correction, the McCain campaign is a train wreck IN PROGRESS. The adoring media just don't want to give these ridiculous faux pas and foolish policies (McCain on health care, anyone?) the attention they deserve. It's much easier to focus on the pointless Democratic brawl.

And the Dems don't feed them barbecue.

this is all about mcain not obama. what has obama get to do with it.
mcain ia an extension of bush.
it is a a fact that america went to war just because of oil not for wmd that bush claimed .

Mac is right. Gulf War #1 was about oil. But Gulf War #2 was about establishing Permanent Military Bases in the Mid East after the Saudis' asked us to leave because of fear of domestic trouble from el Quida sympathizers. This sounds more like protecting an Imperial Nations interest rather than spreading Democracy. That's the way it looks to the rest of the World, whose opinion does matter, despite Karen Hughes' attempt as Propaganda Minister.

I can't wait until us democrats get our nominee Barack Obama he is going to eat McCain alive.. Barack will challenge him on heavy issues on everything and not be nice to him like he was to Hillary. McCain is going to explode.

Go Barack

5 years ago we went to war??Im a OBAMA supporter but i do like MCCAIN ..As an independent voter ,,and being around people who have had and do have cancer ,I worry about him in a positive way ..

McCain made his speech in Colorado and after landing in Arizona he attempts to clarify what he said. Just imagine McCain as president talking to foreign diplomats in another country, returning to the U.S. to find something he said has caused another war. McCain would be a puppet as president requiring someone is always having to tell him what to say or reminding him he didn't mean to say that. This man is senile and has no place in the White House as president.

OK lets see the Press run this over, over & over Again & again and again. He should have to make continual speaches, be virtually HOUNDED & HOUNDED endlessly for this mistake. This is about going to WAR FOR OIL. FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN Rev Wright or "bitter & cling to religion'

I see another ad from the DNC or Moveon.org on this McCain Oil misspoke…

WARBUCKS CAN'T STOP LYING.

BEFORE WE KNOW HE & HILLIE WILL DENY

THE IRAQ WAR VOTE.

Mr. McCain is a highly respected man…but he is not presidential material.
Day by day, Mr. Obama looks more presidential
the transition to a new, young and more transparent generation is taking place.
The political spring is in the air

ok…perhaps the john king & dana bash couple have suddenly developed hearing, objectivity or reasoning issues(no surprise), but here are the frailly mccain's quotes again: "…my friends, i will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our independence on oil from the middle east, that will…(applause)…that will then…(applause)…prevent us…(applause)…that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the middle east…" now it is no surprise the clinton news network didn't have to force obama to clarify his 'bitter' remarks, but instead chose to run it with an coerced interpretation…so in my opinion the clinton news network's coverage of the most recent 'truth' dropped by the old man has taken it just a step up to be the Coerced News Network

FELLOW MUST BE A WAFFLE IRON.

HE WAFFLES ENOUGH TO MAKE ME NAUSEOUS.

Charlotte: So when Obama says no to the Gas tax holiday, which is not going to save us jack, he is saying what a typical politician would say??? If anything its Hilary and Mccain trying to play the same games. Propose a Gas tax cut that wont do jack to get votes.

Way to go Mr. Straight talker. You should have been in the movie, "Liar, Liar, Liar. Because of your straight talk you have told us the truth that the Iraq war was about Oil. To lie and say that you were referring to the first war is just plain stupid and disrespectful to the American people. As for your gas tax relief that's needed to safe guard the bridges I travel on eveyday. I don't want to die on a bridge and it is disrespectful for the families who lost their loved ones when the last bridge collapsed. Hilary you lose, Obama you win. I don't want to die.

McCain is a flip-flopper. Why would any American believe McCain? The Media is with McCain, but the American people already know this man and his gaffes. Is this the kind of man we want as a president? Unfortunately, Hilary Clinton is almost the same as McCain. Clinton is the Republican's surrogate.

It is a shame CNN won't really talk about this on tv. They rather talk about Rev. Wright instead of the truth about a war that cost 4,000 American lives. CNN has lost me. Why are they protecting McCain?

He is a liar to get vote, Hillary is a liar to get votes. How can anybody not see through the lies of these politians and stop giving them their votes. If any one of these politians, Clinton or McCain get in office, watch what happens. No is going to happen. Just as in New York she did nothing she said she was going to do.

LOL MCFORGOT TRANSLATING REALITY & THE

ENGLISH LANGUAGE FOR US. WHO KNEW HE WAS

THAT SMART? NO ONE, & NO ONE DOES.

What is hilariously sad is that a Horse Race will beat this critical news piece for at least the next few days….if this McCain comment even lives to see this afternoon. Heaven forbid a horse breaks a leg and makes a melodramatic struggle for rehabilitation and survival…..then CNN and the rest will be covering that news story like flies on manure. Moreover, we always have more important stories to cover instead of connection the two words Oil and Iraq, such as teachers being banned for posing in a bikini and "sexting" pics on cell phones, whatever that is.

McCain, you are right we did go to war for oil. For once you are telling the truth.

yea McCain…because when you talk about a middle east war we all know your actually talking about the war 17 years ago and not the one going on now that we were told would be paid with oil AND lower prices at home which equals an energy policy….As a democrat and Obama supporter I always liked McCain, but lately he is falling in line with Bush and the neo-cons so much that the distinction is clear. I will only be happy with a democrat in the White House.

That's ridiculous. The first gulf war is far less controversial, and was fought under UN auspices after an intentionally hostile move from Saddam Hussein. The second Iraq War was started for no good reason and has only diminished American security and regional stability.

McCain seems kind of weird on this.

McCain flubbed and now he's trying to cover it up. Imagine if Obama had done that..atleast he would've taken accountability which is alot more than what the other two candidates have shown. He is just ridiculous…he can't even get his story straight and appears confused. Is this someone that we want running our country?? Please!!

charlotte why are u so uneucated?
what does this have to do with obama?
i really wany u to vanish or jump off a cliff

Have Rev. Jerry M. Wright made the same statement as McAin did, there would be a barrage of criticism. McAin is making two many mistatement since this campaign began. Is it the age? Does his jugdement on foreign policy reliable? Between McAin saying he will continue the war in Iraq and Hilary saying that she would obliterate Iran, voters know now who is the most dangerous to elect in November. Americans please STOP being misled by these two warmongers! Obama for sure will restore U.S. credibility abroad!

MY GOD!!!!!!! THOUSANDS OF LIVES, 4,100 American troops - 200,000 Iraqi civilians - SUFFERING OF MILLIONS!

FOR OUR GREED!!!!!!

ABC news has the full clip - McCAIN was talking about opposing IRAQ withdrawl timetables - and then he went directly into the energy policy quote.

McCAIN IS A LIAR~!!!!!!!!! He wasn't talking about the GULF - watch the clip.

MCCAIN IS HAVING TO MANY SENIOR MOMENTS FOR ME!

oops! He did it again! I guess he needs to carry a Leiberman with him wherever he goes………

Maybe McCain mispoke but according to Freud, it simply refflects what he deeply think, that is: We went to war for the oil. It is true and simple as that. Since we did not win the war and oil is getting more expensive for us, we should simply get out of there before it's too late. This has been a bad business venture. And I thought our President Bush was a an MBA graduate.

Now we know the reason for the invasions!!!

Who else got OIL in the areas again!!! Ha!!! Saudi Arabia # 1 and Iran # 2.

Are they on the list for another oil war?

CNN….where is your report on Clinton's NY senator campaign fraud? You sure were and still are able to beat the entire Rev. Wright story to death but you don't report any of Clinton's scandal and controversies that are sure to come in the general election. Oh yeah, what about the fact that she committed fraud and illegal cover up while trying to get Nixon impeached? Where is that story? Where are any stories of the Clinton's scandals and controversies. Just because you covered them during Bill's term doesn't mean they shouldn't be covered now. This is a NEW race. Everything should be covered just like you are doing with Obama.

Anyone that can open their eyes and look at the conflict in Iraq will realize it's about one thing: American Imperialism. And yes, that includes oil.

I believe we live in a Democratic Republic. John McCain evidently thinks that we live in an Empire.

You know people like Charlotte is what America is tired of. I'm sure she is a Hillary supporter. If you notice the spirit of those who support Hillary. Its the spirit of Hillary. You see that they are mad and scared that they thought that this was going to be easy. Read a book called the Great Controversy. It is so real that it is scary

One more way the media controls everything….I just sent a blog and it didn't get posted.

There you go McSame. Now we know that you think it's perfectly fine to have kids give their life for oil, but you won't support a lousy $2B plan to provide education benefits for those who are lucky enough to make it home! As commander in chief, it is an inherent responsibility of leadership to take care of your warriors. I guess you've forgotten that along the way.

I don't believe you. CNN… do you believe him? Please keep talking about this for a day or so. That's only fair.

I don't believe you.

Does anyone else believe him?

…and it looks like w didn't even get the oil… this time or last time.

I hope American's are very aware of the fact that if McCain wins the election, the same people who run the government now will continue to be in charge of the government of this country. There would be no change in January, 2009. Only George W. Bush will be gone (sort of). I say "sort of" because his staff will still be running the government.

What a depressing thought to go through all this just to have the same old sorry crowd running this government.

Fact: If there weren't so much oil in the area, we wouldn't care one bit about any of the tin-pot dictators who ruled there.

So oil may not be the primary reason we sent troops there, but it is undeniably a significant part of why we are there.

As for the 100 years comment, having heard the clip with his actual words, it indeed is the case that he phrased it in terms of a peaceful situation where active fighting wasn't ongoing. So forget about the quibbles over distorting his words and stick to what he actually said. Anyone who thinks the situation in Iraq is going to settle down to such a peaceful situation just isn't paying attention…

Haliburton was given a $2.5 billion no-bid contract by Bush to guard Iraq's oil after the invasion of Baghdad. That's the same oil that disappeared because "insurgents" stole it. Yeah right. Cheney stole the 2000 election in Florida and the 2004 election in Ohio and he stole the Iraqi's oil at the expense of the American tax payer. IMPEACH!

Any one with an some intelligence would know that OIL was the reason for war when it first started. Read all the litterature before the war regarding Cheney, Wolfowitz, Pearl, Rumsfeld, Bush and others who wanted to dominate the Middle East just for that reason. You can't depend on the media to ever tell the truth, they go with who ever is in power or from who ever they can benefit the best, the heck with the American people and the heck with truth…The Iraq war was never about Iraqi people or even terrorists, it was about regime change to obtain the right to their oil, which is one of the largest claims in the world. But who am I, a nobody who does not count like so many of us…this great country has gone to pot because of Bush and his weasels.

Charlotte… where do you get your information from? Why can't you just be FOR your candidate and NOT AGAINST someone else's. This is the crap most of us are tired of. SO negative, so vitrial, so toxic. Tell me…who exactly are you helping with that diet tribe?

Mr. McCan't::

B A L O N E Y!!!!!!!

These "misspeaks" by McCain are exactly why the Democrats have to decide on a candidate…Imagine what could be done with all the statements he has made.

Wow. So he wants to be president so he can misspeak all the time and have to correct himself on issues as vitally important as to why we went to war? As for his explanation, I don't care which war it was, I don't accept that as a reason for going to war with another country instead of finding alternatives to foreign resources.

Charlotte:

Clinton says what a politician needs to say too (i.e. gas tax, sniper fire, NAFTA)! I can go on and on!

My son is on his way to Iraq for the second time and it is all about oil. Tell his wife and four kids that.

Makes you want to jump up and slap somebody.

WE GOT TO GET THAT OIL !!!!! OHHH OHHH I MEAN FIGHT THE INSURGENTS AND WMD!!!!!

IDIOT!!!!

Senator John Mc Cain knows that HE sent our young men and women to their deaths in Iraq to protect our future interest (stake) in oil within that region. He knows that the simple answer is to invest in a fundamental change in the American economic structure from its high depency of fossil fuels to other means. This approach will cost his buddies billions in profit. These are his true friends. He does not care about the average American citizen. If he did, he would not flip-flop as he has been doing. Why don't we take our que from the Republican Party that refuses to support him. If his own political family doesn't believe in him why should we?

Indeed, only Hillary is capable of beating this man in the election. Because Obama will not only beat him Obama will cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush him. He wont see even one vote if he contests with Obama.

Oops, he slipped on that one. People should be outraged at his comment. Of course this will be pushed aside so we can focus on real American problems, such as Rev. Wright.

he probably said what he meant the first time.

Voters….. Be SMART….. He just told you we are in Iraq because we WANT their OIL………If YOU want MORE war and killing of our Americans soldiers….. Vote for this NUT!!!!
Obama/Edwards08

Well repukes the more things change the more they stay the same.
Vote for more war and more of McSame.

This just proves with all the practice he has had, John can now insert BOTH feet in his mouth!

Your're going to win the Kentucky Derby.. 'Colonel John' McCain. Then the Election in November…

There is 10 times are much oil in Canada as in the entire Middle
East.
Maybe the reason Republican party is backing away from McCain is the 10,000 articles on the internet titled songbird McCain .

Tax gas holiday is political manupilation for us to say that they did something when they did not really do anything. They just mask the problem to get vote and after election, here is the same problem again. It may come back even worst. How are we going to fix our bridges America? Do we want the same thing that happen in minnesota to happen again? We need to have money in the highway fun program and we also need energy dependence.

Oil is the fuel of our economy. Without it we would have nothing.
We better protect it and the tree huggers better let us drill our own.
Hillary and Ob want to let Iran take over Iraq. When that happens you can do your whining about oil prices.
McCain 08

obama is the best man for the presidentcy

The oil companies can't more happy when they have the republicains in the White House.

The have free rein in the market place and the keep driving the price of oil up and up with impunity.

Their profit margin can be 150%, 200% and now we their profit margin is more than 500% and they still want more.

Stand up America and support Obama to stop this madness. It is really up to you America. Change is coming to America!!!

i dont understand why cnn will not post my comment does it mean that i say that we need to be united instead of divided I believe that they think the longer we are divided the better it is for their candidate Hillary Clinton to win

This article is about McCain yet Obama people attack Hillary. Nuts. Good job unifying the party Obamaniacs. You can't win without Hillary's base that you enjoy insulting day after day. You're going to lose in November and look like fools.

', hmmm nice job media

dang i cant say a thing here deny deny deny my comment

I'm sure the this network as well as all of the others and Hillary will find a way to justify her (Hillary's) partners statement! I just don't understand her supporters…When Rev. Wright made these statements the media as well as Hillary's camp and supporters spun it out of control. You all are simply simple…Simple in mind thought and deeds. Hillary is out for herself. The republicans know it and all of the networks know it. Why can't her supporters see it…Admit it…And move on. Let support OBAMA…Real change for real people. The people of America!

This is the problem with being a politician some times. I'm sure he probably did mean the first Gulf War, though that doesn't really make it better. But when you say something it will almost always be taken out of context if there's an avenue to take. McCain is not a stupid man so I am able to see what he really meant. However, he now see how it felt when Obama's "bitter" statement was taken out of context and smashed against his head non stop. I'd give an example of Hillary's statements being taken out of context but, well, they're generally just outright lies that are plain as day to see.

Crazy is all I can say about this ignorant man. The McCain's are even more disfunctional than the Clinton's if that is possible. This man if elected will get us ALL KILLED. While I will not take anything away from his service to this country-make no mistake people he is not presidential material.

Let's get it right…I am not a HATER!!
I love this country.
I have served this country.
I believe in free speech.
Nothing about speaking your mind is Anti - American!! That's the most stupid and anti-American statement you can make. If you don't like the Constitution and all it represents, go somewhere, anywhere else. PLEASE!!!

Obama DOES NOT take money from federal lobbyists. He takes money from individuals (like me), and anyone that donates money to a political campaign has to list what company they work for. Some supporters might work for oil companies/telecomm companies, or whatever, but that doesn't mean he's taking money from the companies or their lobbyists.

McCain and Clinton BOTH take money from fedeal lobbyists. They've never denied that. They don't plan on changing that. They even have lobbyists running their campaigns. Do your research. And stop liars from saying Obama is just as corrupt as the others. He's CLEARLY DIFFERENT. Vote for change.
