Dammit, we NEED McCain. The last Democratic President we had, all he brought was prosperity and peace. Who wants THAT??

Seriously. If you like Bush, you'll like McCain.

I'd say that's alot of American Tax Dollars for what could be in jeopardy of a False Advertising Law Suit ! HAHA

Up Up and Away John ! Be sure to take a parachute and ensure your pilot's radar is set for friendly terriotory!

I Hope he doesn't fly the "AIR FLIP FLOP EXPRESS" full of WMD and drop that on Ahmadinedjad house in Iran to start WW3.

The Senator may now flip/flop at a considerable percentage of the speed of sound. Clearly, this plane wasn't for quicker travel on the stump but a measure to catch up with old flips as soon as a new flop comes to mind.

See McCain has an idea a minute!!!
It's too bad they usually fail to take things like logic, common knowledge, or physics into account.

hahahahahaha mccain is funny i love comedy. straight Talk no man straigh lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahhaa mccain leave politics become an actor on comedy channel. empty bottel

Vote Ron Paul! Change you can TRUST in!

If you think you're being clever and are making an argument by callling McCain McSame, McBush, McWar, Mc(insert insulting word here) how about you consider the following:
Obaflip-flop! Obalies! Obahate! Obasurrender! Obatax! Obaspend!

See? It's not an argument. Name-calling is just childish and disrespectful. You aren't helping your own candidate (Obama) gain more votes by your insert-Mc-in-front-of-words and your thinking that it makes any sense.

I hope his Flip-Flop Express keeps going up and up and never lands again

I agree with Glenda obama is a lier who just wants to get rich he's probably going to drop out and take all the money he's been donated and leave!!!!!

@Uncle Sam, Charlotte, Belle, Sharon MN and Brian TN; guess what guys, Bush is promoting a fight with Iran. I hope you guys have registered to fight this war for your old pal, McCain. He will need all of you on the front lines. Hurry, no time to waste.

Obama: "Change you can believe in", if he elected this 08 president. Can we change "White House" To "Black House'. Do you like that Obama supporter??????

Disgusted Republican ………….You people truly disgust me……. Sen. Obama wants to bring change to D.C. Then you begin to leave derogatory comments about Sen. McCain, like the one left by Another Old White Woman for Obama "With any luck he will be piloting……..the BLOG is full of derogatory comments about McCain and Obama……….NOW I am an OLD BLACK Woman for McCain……back in the day I would have jumped all over you for begining your sentence With… YOU PEOPLE …..Let it go……If you can't STAND the HEAT stay out the kitchen

McCain 08

MCsame is a disgrace.

Now that Obama has been officially determined to be disqualified for his presidential bid due to his immigrant status — who shall be the DNC's presumptive nominee? Clinton forfietted..

Wow I love reading comments from Democrats. They act like their candidate stands for something. All I ever hear from Obama is doom and gloom….I feel that way after reading what little he plans to do. The straight talk express is finally telling like it is….go McCain

Thousands homeless.. thousands hungry.. thousands lost their family.. and McBush has a new plane.

Congratulations!!!

Why? Too old to travel via bus McShame?

Straight talk express derailed a long time ago.
McCain has a reputation for being a huge flip-flopper.
You can just go onto sites like youtube and see long videos of this

wow you Obama supporters sure have a lot of hate, any article that even mentions McCain's name is followed by a hate filled rant from Obama supporters. maybe it's because McCain supporters actually work for a living and dont have time to be so hateful…

Glenda why dont you wake up and listen oh thats right you are stupid so what can we expect par for the course the spew you are printing is all hog wash why don't you print McCain is a war monger ,a second Bush , a flip flopper ,can't remember what he said in last 5 minutes and has to have a right and left elbow guy to clarify his mistakes when he speaks with old Libernam as his shadow gee if he stops Lieberman will smother better tell Lie erman not so close .

Go Obama you have a great movement headed for the White House 2008/20 12

Ah, the new "Straight Talk Express" to Lala Land. That's so special.

Obama is no saint we who live in downstate Illinois are still trying to figure out the Rock Star Obama got as far as he did, he has done nothing for Illinois. Believe me downstate won't be voting for him, I'm not much of a fan of McCains either but I would vote for him before I would vote for Obama, I don't want to live in a socialist state!

Nader is not Presidential material. Real Republicans will vote BARR this November, not someone who thinks 100 years of war is great. If McCain wins, he will raise taxes on the poor, and lower taxes for the rich. McCain = Big Oil, Barr is for the people.

Yes, Barack Obama would have proven himself to be an true reformer with principles to keep his word on public finance reform. I mean, who could expect him to display such courage? What do you want him to do – forego freedom from hellish imprisonment and torture out of regard for his fellow captives like John McCain did? That would not be very politically expedient, now would it?

Dan………….When they get tired of complaining about their boring lives and get ready to look for answers, they will leave the Obama camp and join Mccain………………Teaming up with McSame has not helped you any ………….you mentioned Obama more than once ……… as matter of FACT……. you begin this comment with OBAMA ………COME on out of the house of McSame …………..we are on our way to the WHITE HOUSE …….Follow the LEADER ………Obama 08

Ahh yes. I look forward to the next few months… when McCain "straight talks" his way into a loss against Obama.

Viva Obama!

I am a democrat and I see how CNN is always making comments against whoever Obama is running against. what is up with CNN commentaries. It makes me wonder now who is behind Obama's campaign? As a democrat I feel very uncomfortable not seeing any criticism of my own party's candidate in CNN and only seeing it against McCain. Also I don't see how naming his plane makes the news but not his messages. CNN please go back to the way you used to cover the news. Your news coverage is becoming irrelevant.

Go McCain! I'll fly with you!

Formerly for Hillary….now for McCain!

P.U.M.A.

As an international observer I'm confused at the analysis of the media and some commenters. Obama said he would vigorously pursue public financing, then went back on his word. Isn't that worse that changing your views or beliefs on a particular policy or decision, i.e. breaking a public promise or pledge vs. changing a view or belief?

One of the most ridiculous things ever….. Straight talk express, what a joke. McCain himself is becoming a more and more ridiculous figure! Just look at all the flip flopping and supposingly funny jokes…. I do not want to have my country represented by this man!!

Changes is good as long as it makes cents (sense)!!!!
Obama speaks from both sides of his mouth. It seems to me that most Obama followers are like sheep following their shepard. Poor dumb sheep. Don't you realize his answer is to raise taxes. Not just for the rich, but for the poor. Come on, wake up and listen!

Republicans for Nader RULE!!! Vote for a real man, vote for NADER!! Don't vote for Mcflipflop, vote NADER!!!

To Dave,

You are very right about the so called flip flop that people say Obama took on the public financing. Yet even Republicans knew it was a trap that they thought they could catch Obama with. They knew Obama would be at a disadvantage with public finance. To me Obama would have been naive and a fool to go for public finance. Like you said, if people want to call it flip flopping , then more power to them. ; however like you said, if its a flop for the better, then everybody should understand that. The GOP has tons of money to reign down on Mccain, however the DNC is at a disadvantage.

Obama 2008

Obama must spend a lot of money paying ignorant people to spam every article that mentions the word McCain. I suppose they are all a bunch of hopelessly lazy individuals who expect Obama to make their lives better. They compain about wars and soldier dying, but they would never serve. They complain about high income tax- but they didn't even pay any this year. They complain about life, but are unwilling to do anything to make it better. When they get tired of complaining about their boring lives and get ready to look for answers, they will leave the Obama camp and join Mccain .

To Vern Bartlett above: Hope the Secret Service can track you down; you just threatened to kill one of our Presidential candidates. But then, you're probably one of the 20-somethings working for CBS so it may take awhile before they hand you over.

Well well, cant pay taxes on condo, but can buy a multi million dollar plane??..This is another reason why i wont trust Mccain with the econony which is my primary concern with the war a close 2nd. Mccain's stance on the war does not impress me either, being that he has a pro-war mentality. Who in hell wants to worry about bringing children into this world and worrying about Mccain taking them away, and then opposing a GI Bill that would take care of them ?

Thats a clear vote against Mccain….today, tomorrow and in NOvember!

You Obama idiots! That fool uses a plane too,infact every time the media interviews mister HUSSAIN its almost always on board his aircraft. So, please shut your mouths you dumb, young ,idiot, liberal, pot smoking, crack heads!! What will Barck Hussain Obama, do for this nation? You can see he is a loser like any other politican. Just look at how he attacked McCains plan to lift the ban on offshore oil drilling, Barack Hussian, said it would take years to see an effect! Well yea you retard! McCain is looking down the road 10-15 years from now when it would have a huge effect on gas prices. Its sad that people are so stupid. But what more could you expect from young hippie liberals??

Why bother with going through the motions of Presidential election in November? King Barack Hussein Obama has already been selected a our next "President" by the rich and powerful element in this country. This election is a fraud. Goodbye democracy!

My guess is that the plane is being leased but I am curious who actually owns it. I also expect all its costs are paid for entirely by the campaign. But all that information should also be disclosed.

Awww, money at work again.

what truth mccain wouldnt know the truth if it slapped him in the face gramp mc flip flopper is so busy flipping these day to pander the voters he forgot whats real and whats not confused old man he dont know what he opposes or supports why is mr flip flopper not using cindys jet anymore well i dont know about the rest of you i wish mccain would stick to something already jeez he makes me DIZZY!!

I wonder how much of his $85M he spent having his air limo painted..

McWar save the money for your campaign….oh was the "elitist"?

Why McSame cannot be trusted ??? :

Jack McLamb served nine years in secret operations in Cambodia and other nations before going on to become one of the most highly decorated police officer's in Phoenix history, winning police officer of the year twice before taking a role as a hostage negotiator for the FBI.

"I know a lot of Vietnam veterans and a few POW's and all the POW's that I've talked to over the years say that John McCain is a lying skunk," McLamb told the Alex Jones Show.

It is comforting to see so many folks be hateful over some else success!

No wonder you are for Nobama, let the freeloaders rule!

"Change you can believe in, and if it is your pockets, I'm coming to get it!"

"All you little old people claiming to be white are NOT! Even if you are and voting for OBAMA, the corrupt conniving terrorist supporter, money grabber from Rezko, liar that don't remember from one day to the next what he has said so to keep from contradicting himself. If being young is what this means then I'll take the old man any old day. "

More proof that racism drives the Obama hate.
I imagine this is what it felt like for the dinosaurs when they looked into the sky and saw the comets.
Come my little old racists, its time to sleep in the ooze….

CNN, your guys rock. This is for all the people who think you should stop these tickers, If the comments were going in your candidate favor, who you be pouting like a kid? I think not. The anger comment s for some of these Sen Mccain supports makes you wonder what's the real issue behind their hate for Sen Obama. I'm an Obama support, but I don't hate Mccain. Hate is a strong word. President Bush had no experience at all and you voted for him. I think this goes deeper than what they are saying, everybody has a right to choose, but lets be men and women enough to say why and stop using, "un-experience enough "as a scapegoat.

Straight talks ??? OR…..money talks ???? Hopefully. all the money in the world ( Or Cindy's world ) will not prevail. YES…it is time for a "change" in this country. GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"All you little old people claiming to be white are NOT! Even if you are and voting for OBAMA, the corrupt conniving terrorist supporter, money grabber from Rezko, liar that don't remember from one day to the next what he has said so to keep from contradicting himself"

More proof that racism drives the Obama hate.

I imagine this is what it was like when the dinosaurs looked into the sky and saw the comets.

Come my little old racist, its time for you to sleep with the ooze…

McCain should propose Prozac for all Obama supporters. What a rabid bunch of morons. Attacking another man's age with comments about diapers is shameful. Continuing to spew out boring puns such as McSame and McBush shows an utter lack of respect. The same misogynists who trashed Hillary for being a woman are circling once again for another political wilding. I hope Obama goes down miserably in a heap of shame and disgrace and the rest of you idiots who are making a mockery of our political process follow close behind.

Wow, he decided not to use his wife's plane anymore. What, too many questions were asked and he changed his mind? The original flip flopper.

You people truly disgust me. As in you commenters. First, you attempt to play the high and mighty card and voice your opinions for the change Sen. Obama wants to bring to D.C. Then you begin to leave derogatory comments about Sen. McCain, like the one left by Another Old White Woman for Obama "With any luck he will be piloting. We all know how good he is at that! hahaha." This is a man who spent 5 years of his life in the Hanoi Hilton being tortured after having to eject over hostile territory and you platantly use language like that in the hopes of what? That his campaign plane will crash? You sicken me. If this is the kind of change you want to bring to Washington count me out.

Nat, NYC:
McCain is phony, old era politician from Washington. He fools you, moderates. So sad, you are possible under some influence, to see that. Cheers to all those that can see that!!!

Wow, it makes just as much sense if you just flip out the names and change two words (new – old & obamites – moderates or republicans or independents),which makes it meaningless either way it's posted.

John MCCAIN is a major flip flopper on a number of issues and now he is saying you cannot trust the word of Obama. The man who calls himself the straight talk express is having more and more memory lapses as the campaign is heating up. WOW…..I wonder what John MCCAIN will be talking about tomorrow

Who cares ? Both candidates fly on planes right ? So they painted his ?

This is a lot of posts about NOTHING. Cindy probably bought it for him .

A good place to hold his private "Elitist, for the wealthy only" GOP club meetings.

TRUE DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!!

The McCain campaign is taking off!

Interested since he worked with lobbyist to give the recent hugh aircraft deal to airbus instead of boeing, which is now being challanged ater protests and outranged citizens. Why to out source Mc Outsource. We protested Mc Cain at boeing because of this!

To Stan above,
Lets play the blame game…
Clinton didnt originally get us into Afghanistan. As far as I can find, we supported the Mujahadeen (in opposition to the Soviets) since Carter's term, continuing through both of Reagan's ( who ramped up support to the tune of billions.) I agree that blame for Afghanistan cant be placed solely on GWB, but to lay it out solely as Clinton's doing is false as well. The same analysis could be applied to almost any conflict. This includes Vietnam. If Truman hadn't recognized the French colonial govt over the North Vietnamese Communists in 1950, then we may never have stepped in to back the colonials by 1954( we were already paying for the majority of operations by then), well before LBJ's Presidency. And you forgot to mention Nixon's ill advised policies regarding Vietnam ( which got men killed) as well. History is long and connected, placing blame is harder than you may think. You see how this game is played now?

I've been a registered Republican my entire adult life and for the first time ever I am casting a democratic vote for president. I am terribly dissappointed in the Republican's pick for candidate as well as the Bush administration. Ugh.
Very sad.

Just for a general comment (should anyone read this), there are rules about civility that should be followed in any sort of discussion. A) Call people by their real names. We don't care if you think of John McCain as the same as Bush, which you're free to, but at least have the comon courtesy to call him by his real name. Name-calling gives the impression of an inability to understand real concepts due to lack of maturity. This applies to everyone: It's John McCain and Barack Obama, NOT McSame, McBush, or B. Hussein Obama. Regardless of where you stand. It's nice to know that there are some adults out there (and mind you, I'm a teenager). B) Use proper grammar and spelling. It's not tough, and it saves the rest of us a lot of trouble when reading your post. C) Spam posts do nothing but irritate us, and possibly turn us against your chosen candidate, which probably isn't what you had in mind. Example: "McSame will kep us in iraq for 100 more year! Barack Obama '08!" or "B. Hussein Obama is bad becaus he has no experince! McCain '08!"

Please, just be mature, perhaps for a change…

It's time to crank up the Hybrid, someone need to drop off the c-nile man at the ol' folks home. Don't let him drive, In 3 minutes you'll will be lost. I guess that McSane got the money from Cindy from then drugs she stole.

Well blow me down….The keaton 5….. All five were found to be acting improperly to different degrees…… Very interesting….. Once a crook….. Well you adults no the rest…..

Did any of you listen to the news this morning?

Now the folks in DC are voting next week to double their salary.

Contact your Legislators NOW and tell them NO !!!!!

funny that he is riding around in a 737 when he supported giving a huge contract to airbus (a european airplane company) over boeing. being from seattle, that screwed over so many people, and cost many of my friend's fathers their jobs.

Why are you guys decieving the world. what is straight talk? the man was against Bush tax cut , now he is for it. Is that what you cal striaght talk?

I hope with his measly 85 million, that he can afford to at least put some gas in the plane.

I'm happy the supremes clarified my right to own firearms of all sorts. I'll be looking for a surface to air weapon to use against airborne targets carrying crotchety politicians.

Lets look at facts McCain, your state is 49 in education, 1st in meth addiction, and the moral of the state is awful. Then we can hit the topic of max influx of illegal immigrants. You have endorsed a criminal for a state sheriff who breaks the constitution every day with profiling raids. .. AND YOU WANT TO BE PRESIDENT. FIX YOUR STATE then look to fix America. as for morals. I'm not sure you have any. Keep the faith brother.

simple facts from recent BBC documentary on american money in Iraq:
28 billion USD , thats public money is unaccounted for till now
un qualified and single contracts given to favourites( dick cheney etc) who made billions on cost plus contracts
qualified and big compnaies ( bechtel, parsons, haliburtons, KBR) make a nonsense of their reputation in earning good bucks in Iraq and claiming billions of dollars by doublijng their expenses shown , expenses added by sham companies in panama, luxomberg etc

Without Iraq govt approval hunt oil gets billion dollor contract with Kurd state in Iraq, Mr hunt was put in by Bush as a memeber of advisory committee which had special access on insdie Iraq info.

The lady in pentagon who questioned the KBR deals was demoted and superceded

please be informed and choose what u want

GBU America

Must be nice to be able to buy a plane on a whim.

Look up, See down……….. I wish you all would've found a competent candidate somewhere in America, not this fool………IT is nothing LIKE an OLD FOOL(McFLIPFLOP)…..YOU ARE an IDIOT!!!!!………..NOW you can go outside! ……..he's just an extension of the bad policies of the Republican Bush regime……….OUT WITH THE OLD ……..UP UP and AWAY!!!! McSame Lost his energizer bunny………OOPS COME BACK here OBAMA !!

John can enjoy the airplane before he looses in November; at least, he will claim to have used the Airplne at a 'very' close bar.

GO John McCain latinos are with you all the way. You are a great American Hero!!!!!!!!!!!

Latinos con McCain

NOBAMA

all this talk of mccains toy bus and toy airplanes because if they spoke of the ideas coming out of his mouth what you see is that its all lame.

No Hillary VP June 29th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

McShame,McLooser,McDip,Mc Idiot,Mc Bush,Mc War ,McTown Hall,
Mc Flip Flop Mc Lieberman on his left elbow and Mc Graham on his right elbow to nudge him what he misspoke or forgot what he said in last 5 minutes.

Go obama all the way to the White House 08/12

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks for proving our point. Obama's supporters don't have brains as shown by the person that posted the above comment. Is this the "change" that Obama is referring to?

I guess the "change" that he's referring to is to remove "Mature Audience" symbols everywhere — because there obviously aren't any that support him.

Should our national anthem take the form of hip hop music?

and Obama is supposed to be the elitest?

As an Independent, I have questions and doubts about both candidates, but to wish McCain's plane would crash (presumably from an Obama supporter) is just downright un-American, hateful, and mean spirited! I hope here aren't too many Obama supporters like you! Both candidates have good and bad points and tands on issues. I just don't think we should be attacking their wives. And how should they get about te country–walk?

Vote for John McCain and see if he doesn't reinstate the draft in America. The reason why he will is because the war is going to last another 100 years and the soldiers are tired of doing 3 and 4 rotations over in Iraq and people are going to stop volunteering for the military.

Do you know if something happens right now in another part of the world or in America that we would not be able to do anything. The military is stretched to its limits. So, the next thing would be a draft if this war does not end soon!. I have many friends that lost their lives in the vietnam war. They were drafted straight out of high school.
War is ugly and it needs to end! Stop letting these young men and women lose their lives over a war that was based on on BIG FAT LIE!
Same on the Rebublican's and MCCain who is running for their 3rd term.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I think GW Bush is Hermann Goering. And Dick Cheney is Dr. Mengele. McCain would then have to be Philippe Pétain.

Go McCain……………..you have my vote either way.

McCain 08……..Hillary 12

Look up, See down June 29th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Dave in IL, great point there.

I'm so glad all these silly little Obamaites have a fun little playground to flop around on spewing their hate. For a candidate who's tried to promote a positive campaign hook, there sure is a lot of hate. You all are more disappointing than the last 7 years.
For all the "McFlipFlop" shouters out there, you have zero room to talk. Obama's gone from the absolute most liberal senator in session to changing his views depending on what crowd he's talking to. He can't even pretend he has integrity. The only thing he's kept his opinion on is the war, and that's only 1 of a multitude of problems we face.
I wish you all would've found a competent candidate somewhere in America, not this fool.

********************************

I totally agree. Look at NAFTA, he was dead against it, then next thing you know his staff is having clandestine conversations that he really didn't mean it.

Only those fools, Obamamites, are the ones that believes this man.

No more kool aid.

Obama is phony, new era politician from Washington. He fools you, Obamites. So sad, you are possible under some influence, to see that. Cheers to you, Dave from Illinois, and all others who can see that!!!

Obama fans: How do you believe Obama moves from place to place?

That a boy Johnny suck that gas up with that HUGE plane.

Mike from NYC June 29th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Is this his environmental plan?

================

Mike, is that Obama's environmental plan??? Seems like Obama, in comparison to McCain, has been using airplanes more times in this campaign.

So please think before commenting. You're beginning to sound like Obama.

Well I guees wheb the Straight Talk takes off it will keep going in a straight line. Out Out Out and away he's goes. But m glad that McSame is showing us his new plane. We know who's the Elitist is. He need put a big rainbow on the side for them Log Cabin Repugs that loosing there bearing and going c-nile

I see some comments from McCain supporters here saying Obama "will raise your taxes".

We must have some VERY RICH people posting here…because unless you make over $160,000 a year, Obama's tax plan will SAVE you money…while McCain's will RAISE YOUR TAXES.

Do some research, people. Facts are not hard to find.

I personally am not that rich. I make well under $160,000 a year. I'd rather pay less taxes.

So I'll take Barack Obama.

This is funny… People always seem to think that by talking poorly about someone it makes their canidate seem so much better. I mean how about saying something positive about your canidate instead of saying yeah well the other canidate did it to so nananah boo boo. I am hillary person and I may end up voting for Obama because of his stand on abortion(its sad thats the only stance I know where he stands everything else he says is fluid and changes). I really feel that people are starting to think that Obama is afraid of competion. He got rid of his competiton in Chicago(alice palmer) so she couldnt even be on the ballet, he refused public financing because he knows McCain couldnt compete in raising money. He sicked the superdelegates and the DNC on Hillary trying to get her out of the primaries early because he didnt like the competiton. He now doesnt want to debate John Mccain cause he is scared of the competition. Hillary wouldnt be scared to debate and if Obama pickes her as his vp I fully expect to see a vp debate before obama and mccain debate. Come on Obama show us you arent afraid of competiton I am looking for more than one reason to vote for you.

The jet fits the grandiosity of John McCain. In 2000 he seemed like a gentleman and a good man; now he presents himself as stuck in old,
unsuccessful ways of trying to govern. Sadly, he has become more of
a symbol of old generation ideas that are not backed by a vision of the future.

John McCain you will be a great president for America, we need you Now, the drilling for oil in this land is important for all of us. Let's do it.
McCain 2008.

I hope his plane flies straighter than he talks….

Putting 'Mc' in front of insulting words does not make an argument, no metter how clever you think you are doing it. It just undermines your credibility by making you look disrespectful and childish. It also undermines Obama's campaign by showing the exact opposite of his positive message of hope and change.
Do you remember how offended Barack Hussein Obama's campaign was when some media pundits used his full name (his ACTUAL name) over and over? Now imagine if somebody twisted Obama's name too, say: Obalies, Obahype, Obahate, Obaflop.
See? It' childish, and it doesn't make an argument.

Straight Talk, what a joke. McCain's straight talk depends on who is financing his campain, just like Bush. Bush would run the White House from Crawford If we were to elect McCain. Not that he would need to since McCain is just a much older version of Bush.

OBAMA 08

Dave, you are the one who needs to check out your history. Except for their ability to move people with speeches Obama is NOTHING like Hitler and you do him and our country a grave disservice when you talk like that. Sorry you cant' do this on other days but maybe once a week is enough. You are so wrong.

i think it's great he has his on plane,,i have voted democrat for years ,,not this year,,they ran hillary out of a campain so obama could be slide in place,now i will vote with mccain because he comes closer to what i think the direction he is willing to take our great country,,he will do better for this country than obama,who is going to tax us more,,obams health care is wrong,his social security wrong,pulling our troops home before they do the job that was given to them,john mccain will do great for this country,,

McCain will be lucky to win his home state of Arizona. Sen. Obama is going to beat McCain like a rented mule

Are you kidding me? With all of the important things going on two of the top three political stories is McCain gets a new plane and Obama needs to flash his ID at a gym?

To all the hypocritical Obama supporters who are blasting McCain for getting a campaign jet, I would like you to stop and do a bit of research.

Obama flies around on his own personal campaign gulfstream jet. Why is it bad for McCain to get a jet but ok for Obama to fly around in one? Does this mean Obama doesn't care as much for the enviroment as he says? Stop and think before you comment on something, you seem like ill educated fanatics who act agressively without any real coercion.

Let us all just wait till Obama gets elected and his Capital Gains tax raise helps torpedo our economy.

P.S. Obama has done his fair share of "flip-flopping" as well

Cindy must be mad if he has to get a new plane.

All you little old people claiming to be white are NOT! Even if you are and voting for OBAMA, the corrupt conniving terrorist supporter, money grabber from Rezko, liar that don't remember from one day to the next what he has said so to keep from contradicting himself. If being young is what this means then I'll take the old man any old day. I did support Hillary, but as long as she keeps campaigning for Obama then forget it MA'AM. The DNC with its, OBAMAS, KENNEDYS, KERRY, PELOSI, BYRD, RICHARDSON CAN GO TAKE A FLYING LEAP. I'll try to forgive myself for being a Democrat for 51-years. I KNOW YOU SMALL MINDED PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CALL ME RACIST, BUT IT'S NOT US WHITES THAT HAVE SHOWN THEIR TRUE COLOR HERE, IT IS YOU AFRICAN AMERICANS. THAT GROUP CONSISTS OF ANTI-WHITE PEOPLE LIKE OBAMA AND HIS REV. AND FRIENDS, HIS SUPPORTERS, THE ONES WHO SUPPORT HIM OR INTER- MARRIED THEN YOU ARE WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT. NONE OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE THE BRAINS TO RUN A COUNTRY SUCH AS THE U.S.

Hello Dave,

Barack Hussein Obama is already loved here in Europe like
JFK was in the sixties because we see that he will bring change,
not only in the USA but all over the world.
He is a gift of heaven and you will find out youself later.
He wil bring peace in the Midle East , the Palestinians will get there own country and support, Jerusalem will be a holy city for Jews, Christians and Muslims and Iran wil not be a threat anymore.
Barack wil be respected in the Christianworld but also in
the Muslim world and that is just what this world need.
The time of wars are over! The time of healing this world and its nature has come and Barack Hussein Obama wil inspire so many people and he will be a true and the most respected USA leader ever!.
So Dave, thats how it is!

With love from the Netherlands.

Europe for Barack Hussein Obama!

Retired Gen. Clark is absolutely correct in his statement today,By saying that McCain beening shot dont in Nam doesn't qualify Him, McCain, to be President.
And I will add, Neither giving Up Flag and Colors in Lieu of His Skin while a "Resident" at the Hanoi Hilton for 51/2 yrs!

*Straight talk from McCain or obfuscation from Obama?

*Moral clarity from McCain or no moral center from Obama?

*Centrist McCain in touch with mainstream America or extreme far-left Obama in touch with elitists?

*Capitalism from McCain or Socialism from Obama?

*Wisdom from McCain or arrogance from Obama?

*A comprehensive energy plan from McCain or green only from Obama?

*Respect from McCain or ridicule from Obama?

*American hero or American idol?

*Authentic man or media myth? *Experience or chutzpa?

I could go on…but it is a very clear choice!

I wonder who paid for that paint job……

To the GA Republican who called Obama a "poor little old black man." Obama would admit to being black, but you must admit Mc Cain is the poorer, elder, and smaller of the two men.
You are so fired up about a logo on a plane you make it seem as if it were actually a novel idea. Do you chase blimps in your spare time? Instead of clapping at signs, why don't you bother to read up on Mc Cain's policy. You are not buying Mc Cain in a grocery store, nor is he playing in a football game. Do you really know what he's about?

What the exactly is wrong with him getting a plane?

You Obamabots need to grow up and get a life.

IS HIS IRAQI LOVE JALAL GOING TO CAMPAIGN WITH

MCBUSH? BOY THOSE TWO HAVE TAKEN THE TERM

"IN BED" A BIT TOO FAR.

OUR PATRIOT WOULD RATHER SEND OUR TAX DOLLARS

TO IRAQ THAN GIVE IT TO OUR VETS TO GO TO COLLEGE.

GO FIGURE?

OBAMA WHAT A JOKE
HE HAS KNOW EXPERIENCE AT ALL,, JUST HALF A TERM AS A SENAT0R,,,,,,,, THIS IS THE PERSON PEOPLE WANT?????? REAL SCARRY……..HE JUST TALKS ABOUT WHAT HE WANTS TO DO,, BUT DOES NOT SAY HOW HE IS GOING TO DO THEM???? I KNOW BY RAISING MY TAXES ,THAT ARE WAY TO HIGH….

McCAIN WAS NOT MY FIRST CHOICE……BUT HE HAS ALOT MORE EXPERIENCE…AND I HOPE WOULD DO A BETTER JOB…..

OBAMA SCARS ME

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Dave in IL, great point there.

I'm so glad all these silly little Obamaites have a fun little playground to flop around on spewing their hate. For a candidate who's tried to promote a positive campaign hook, there sure is a lot of hate. You all are more disappointing than the last 7 years.
For all the "McFlipFlop" shouters out there, you have zero room to talk. Obama's gone from the absolute most liberal senator in session to changing his views depending on what crowd he's talking to. He can't even pretend he has integrity. The only thing he's kept his opinion on is the war, and that's only 1 of a multitude of problems we face.
I wish you all would've found a competent candidate somewhere in America, not this fool.

Is this his environmental plan?

I don't like Obama. I do not support any of his policies. He is naive, ignorant and very irresponsible.

He will raise my taxes, raise the cost of gas bay taxing windfall profits which will result in more inflation. Research what this brain child idea did to us during the Carter Admin. Obama's policies are the failed policies of the Carter Admin.

Obama will make us less secure and will grow the govt and continue to tax and spend.

His tax plan will most result in my job going overseas. Obama does not understand the concept of globalization. Business will leave US if they are being taxed to death. Growing economies, like Brazil, India, Russia, China will become more attractive.

Obama has no judgement whatsoever and is arrogant and upset if u dare to question him. He will do nothing to get us off of foreign oil.

Obamabot are either to stupid, lazy, ignorant or all of the above, to see this.

The Fake Talk Express plane will not fix help the OLD and ANGRY Mr. McSame.

WHO IS GOING TO TELL THE TRUTH ON THAT EXPRESS,

BECAUSE SURE AS HELL, IT WONT BE MCMOULD.

Come on people. Regardless of your political affiliation you must realize that all representatives in Washington (house, senate, white house) are rich beyond their wildest dreams. Throwing stones saying one is more elitest than others is to put blinders on to the reality of DC. We all need to wake up and elect someone that will actually do something.

How long have we known about a problem with Oil? Years. What has been done to truly solve the problem. Nothing tangible. Who is paying for it. All of us.

I do hope change comes about so all of us can realize how good we had it in the past. It seems to only get worse with time and until we have a leader that can actually lead instead of spout off at the mouth (like 99% do these days – including Obama) we only have ourselves to blame. I'd take Hillary over Obama any day because at least I know something about where she stands on issues (I may not agree, but I prefer the devil I know vs the one I don't any day!).

MCBUSH TELLS THE TRUTH

LESS OFTEN THAN BUSH.

Would CNN please stop posting these irrelevant tickers and talk instead about actual issuaes facing the country, what the candidate's stance on these issues are and what their record is?

Maybe he fly out to California and pay his back taxes on his property.
One of nine homes owned by him and his plastic arm piece.

I remember after McCain little stroll through Iraq when he lie to the American people about how safe Iraq was, he said that he had lied to the American people in the past and that he would lie to them again, why would any conservative went to support anyone who promises to lie to them in the future. I think he should apologize to us!

I had to laugh out loud at the pure venom spewed by the Obama supporters about this story. I mean, really laugh! First, the deride McCain (who I don't really care for) for flip-flopping, completely ignoring Obama's litany of slip-flops (the D.C. Ban is "unconstitutional" but the Supreme Court's opposite finding "matches my position.") What a liar!

Second, Obama flies like McCain, and the cost isn't coming out of Obama's pocket.

The person said it best, when he noted that Obama has no record and no qualifications to lead this country. You people who "hope" for "change" are going to get a rude, rude awakening if Obama wins. This country will head right down the toilet.

If McCain wins? Possibly the same path, though his economic advisers are better than McCains, for the simple reason they denounce the brand of socialism/wealth-redistribution policy Obama and the left-controlled Demos believe in.

Good luck America.

Politiinas are only figure heads for Corporations

To Obama's Supporters -

Uhh no that would be wrong. McCain was flying around in Cindy's jet.

Can I send you a nickle, so you can by a clue?

McShame,McLooser,McDip,Mc Idiot,Mc Bush,Mc War ,McTown Hall,
Mc Flip Flop Mc Lieberman on his left elbow and Mc Graham on his right elbow to nudge him what he misspoke or forgot what he said in last 5 minutes.

Go obama all the way to the White House 08/12

Obama gets around on a corporate jet. Who is paying for that wonderful expense? Could it be the evil Corporations that support Obama's campaign like Google, Progressive Ins., Walmart and a long list of other big Corporations.

I thought it was Republicans in bed with big corps!

Didnt this hypocrite lobby for Airbus and European company to get the $100B Tanker deal and took it away from Boeing that would have created thousands of jobs here in US? Now he is flying a boeing plane. Tell him to go get an Airbus plane…Two-faced….

Democrat for president…Obama 08

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Dave, Illinois

You're not being drowned out by Obamabots, you're being drowned out by AMERICANS! You hear that…that's the sound of millions of Americans tired of your brand of negative politics.

They've had 8 years of Bush and they see that McCain is nothing but more of the same.

McCain/Mugabe '08… has a nice ring to it don't you think? Boy, won't Joe be mad!

Well… He can just fly around in his little jet… Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing Obama in Airforce 1.

TO Dave, Illinois,

So much juvenile stuff here and I agree. But, getting Obamites mad is not going to solve the problem we are facing with McCain also.
Although I have not read your previous comments, I would hope you are intelligent enough not to go this low.

Isn't this such some Elitist crap ?????

Straight talk Express? LOL Sounds more like McSame. Mcsame as Bush that is, all lies.

Double Talk Express (DTE)

I remember in the Bible were the Hebrews owed almost all of the land in Egypt and the animals, but when famine came they gave themselves over to slavery to the Egyptians who had grain. I see this same thing happening to the American people you have freedom also called liberty but because of the crazy people that want to control everyone in the world, and their agents in our government that have attack the American people to gain that control since before War World I, which has allowed them to gradually strip away our rights.

Soon if McCain becomes the President of the United Sates of America, Within 6 months John McCain would attack Iran and institute the new draft for the 100 years of war that he wants. Soon after this the U.S., Canada and Mexico would become the North American Union similar to the E.U… All the laws and rights that had been the saving grace of the American people would be completely gone with in 1 year, as the North American Union bows to its new masters in the United Nations and acts as its Military arms by attacking any and every nation that has not come into the fold, and that not bow to the United Nations Rule, A.K.A. The New World Order!

This is the purpose of the New World Orders leaders to fully control and kill anyone that does not follow their rule. For the women of the U.S. if will be a very difficult time due to the rights that women have fault for over the past few decades. Having to be fully subservient will completely break their will and end all the gains’ that have aided all mankind throughout the whole world! It’s sad that people wad in ignorance on purpose so that they do not have to be responsible for their own lives just the way GOD wanted them to do, as he said my people suffer for the lack of knowledge, and this is true they are suffering. If the people choose their gadgets, computers, televisions shows and fail get and stay informed, they will soon find themselves losing their freedom which is liberty and find themselves as slaves to the New World Order very easily!

Issues do not mater when you have people in our government like Bush and some democrats too who are in the process of taking away you rights, they use these issues to keep you distracted from what their right hand is doing to you! Remember if you get too involved in one thing you will not see the whole picture because you keep looking at one tree in the forest! Please look at the whole picture or lose everything that you value because of ignorance!

Him and his plane have something something in common…they are both going to crash and burn.

The only thing that is striaght about John McCain how how quickly he will tell a lie. I remember after McCain little stroll through Iraq when he lie to the American people about how safe Iraq was, he said that he had lied to the American people in the past and that he would lie to them again, why would anyone went to support someone who promises to lie to them in the future. I think he should apologize to all the American poeple, i wish the press would go and look at that report and how he said that he would lie agin to the Amerian people, or is the press completely bought and paid for?

CNN is showing that they are nothing but syncophants. They won't do a hard hitting story on McCain. They won't tell you about the Keating 5, they won;t tell you about Cindy stealing drugs, they won't tell you about his flip-flops, they won't talk about how he left his first wife, they won't talk about his seven homes, they won't talk about his defaulting on property taxes, and his campaign run by lobbyist.

But they will talk about his neat-o new jet.

Great journalism there CNN. I suppose working on the junior high newspaper is all the qualifications one needs to be a journalist on CNN.

You people disgust me. I can't believe how incredibly partisan everyone has gotten, you'd think we were talking about the Shias fighting the Sunnis in Iraq, not petty squabbles between American political parties and their over zealous supporters. It seems as if every time McCain or Obama do anything (though particularly McCain it seems), everyone and their mother can't help themselves but to rant and rave about how horrible people they don't agree with are. What an incredibly pathetic level of debate going, this is exactly what democracy is NOT about.

How about next time, instead of chanting campaign slogans, you all read up about your candidate's positions and actually find out which you agree with most, not which one "seems" best. Then you can debate, instead of rant and rave like a pack of idiots.

What the???? Didn't he just come out with some gimmick to promote electric cars trying to champion the gas issue?? Then turns around and buys a freakin' 737???????? I'm confused.

If that's not straight talk, I don't know what is.

McBush "Change(ing his mind) you can count on"

How obnoxious, esp in these times.
Glad to see he's so environmentally conscious and contributing to fuel conservation. Guess that only applies to "us" people. He couldn't use a small plane?

the corporate media in the corpocon's pocket,

the neo-cons, and

the financial speculators are all rooting for Mccain, for sure,

pouring their ill-gotten money into his campaign,

all the while hedging their bets on obama

so that they could claim later that they have been rooting for change and obama all along.

DITCH CORPORATE MEDIA and

check out DEMOCRACY NOW for real stories.

Straight Talk Express with Forked Tongue

I'm tired of all these comments bashing CNN for its "non-stories." Sure, it's not life-changing for Americans to learn about McCain's latest Straight-Talk toy, but active and interested voters want to know EVERYTHING about their candidates these days. If you're fed up with CNN, stop posting comments and go read something else.

Unfortunately, there's nothing "straight talk" about McCain. He can use all the slogans he wants to but "straight talk" is NOT one that reflects McCain at all.

As for the plane…I guess the money was burning a hole in his pocket so he had to buy something.

My goodness the level of bias on this post is astounding. Seems like the Move-On.org crown are in full effect spouting the DNCs talking pts.

Calling McCain the flip-flopper when Obama has changed his positions of everything since the Primary is just proof that these Obama kool-aid drinkers are very narrow-minded, ignorant people.

Google "Obama flip-flopped". Nafta, Unions, Cuban embargo, immigration, taxes, terrorism, etc., Obama has "flipped" and "floppped" depending on the crowd. The list is growing too. With the recent ruling on 2nd Amend. this week, Obama once again changed his views on gun ownership and sided with the Supreme Ct. in a effort to pander to the supporters of the 2nd Amend.

John McCain has at least two sons in the military. One is on his third tour. Keep up the ignorance Obamabots! Sheeps for the Messiah – Obama!

I suppose it will be less of a problem to carry your straight talk waste product off the bus in a sewage bag. You can now flush it from 30,000 feet hoping it will dissipate before the oder becomes obvious.

NOBAMA – No McCain – Just say no to the status quo – put Hillary in the White House – join write-in's for Hillary – there is a 3rd choice.

Let's not worry about the rising gas prices, staggering economy and growing number of casualities in Iraq. We have McCain's "Straight Talk Express" to look forward to now!

Dave: Obama supporters are have a right to post as well as you. So, don't give us the "blame them" comments like most Republicans do.

Why such a huge plane? Talk about gas guzzler…..

Oh, and Obama has changed his mind for the better on some issues. People make blanket statements about flip flopping, but changing one's mind for the better is not flip-flopping. Now, McBush is a flip-flopper extraordinare while Obama has made good, informed decisions on his change. I mean, what is wrong with paying for one's campaign with donor money rather than tax payer money. I mean, great idea to me. Keeps the lobbyists even farther away from Obama. McCain, on the other hand, can't see a good idea if it hit him in the eyeball. His energy issues, etc are so all over the place and gimmicky that it's ridiculous.

So, OBAMA 08. Let's elect a president with integrity.

Are Obama supporters kidding right now? He's had a plane the entire campaign, he probably RENTED the plane, i mean after the campaign, if he wins, he has air force one, if he loses, then he'll go back and forth to AZ only. It's ridiculous that people are concerned about this. Take your eyes off of the swirling wheel Obama supporters, stop letting yourselves be hypnontized. and again OBAMA HAS A PLANE TOO

E. C., Houston, Texas ………… WAY TO GO, MCCAIN! TIME TO ENERGIZE YOUR CAMPAIGN FOR A BIG WIN, WIN, WIN……….IN NOVEMBER! YOU ARE THE ONLY CANDIDATE QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT NATION! GO….MCCAIN, 08………..McSAME ……………..I lost MY ENERGY TO THE
BUNNY……wait a moment ……..COME BACK here OBAMA!!!

what happened with an airbus?

Plane, bus, train or whatever the straight talk express ain't talking about nothing. What a waste of money.

I wonder when the media will report on McSame forgetting to pay taxes for 4 years on his california home

Or the fact that he owns 7 houses!! 7 houses and he tries to call Obama elite??? what a joke

This "my friends" is a great use of gasoline!

I wonder if his rich wife bought this for him…

"The Republican Party's presumptive nominee will unveil his new campaign airplane on Monday: a Boeing 737-400."

Whats wrong REPs???? Your candidate can't unveil an actual energy policy without polluting the ozone???? SUCKERS!!!!

i am not an american, but i believe you should have respect for someone who went to war for your country, if not, you ll be seen as not appreciating the troops in iraq. also high oil price is global and not the making of your president.

Everyone talks as if our country is third world. I have been around the world many times and thank god every time I return. I have seen countries were the can barley feed their citizens. Or were in Germany you pay a 40% TAX. How about Universal Health Care sounds great but I have to wait 6-12 month to receive a hearing aid. Ummmm. The reason the world dislikes us is not because we’re are an awful place to live but we tend to sound like whinny brats. What is so wrong with our country? If you try to succeed in it you will.

Talk about money wasting, LOL!!!! By the way, where is he getting this money at??? Ohhh yeah, I forgot, his rich! LOL!!!

susie ………….Obama supporters need to wake up and see what a flip-flopper Obama is……………McSame………….took the FLOP out of THE FLIPPER (BUSH)

"it's easy to shoot your mouth off when your living in a upscale neighbourhood protected by the police try that in a slum area"

Been there. Done that. Grew up in the worst neighborhood you could imagine. Crime everywhere. Pulled myself up by my own bootstraps and made my own way in the world.

I wonder how the people left in my old neighborhood are dealing with the price of gas right now? Or the fact that there are no jobs in the city?

I dont hear the GOP talking about any of that.

Just don't let McCain fly it. He crashed 5 planes before he finally ended up in Hanoi. Hard to tell how much of a hero he is vs just a really crummy pilot!

Reading these comment's,I can see there is still a lot of racism in America.

If they were honest, they'd call it the Right-Wing Mud-Slinging Jugernaut.

I guess McCain is now aware of "jets" like he is the "internet." WOO HOO! Obama… you can't be my president fast enough!

Who cares?

mccain is such a joke. i don't care what has happened to him in his life, as long as becoming president isn't part of it. get this man into a retirement home already.

I guess McCain is now aware of "jets" like his is the "internet." WOO HOO! Obama… you can't be my president fast enough!

With a trillion dollar wife you can fly around in anything you want…

Don't sound like like straight talk to me…

Since when does freedom of speech have anything to do with the freedom to spout off racist remarks?…. Mein Kampf?….. Blackhouse?

Please explain?……

Lies? You would accuse a true Patriot, a war hero of lies? Yet you would believe anything anybody named "Clinton" would tell you when it is a matter of public record that both are liars? When they have both been caught in blatant lies and "Slick Willie" was even convicted of purgery?

Obama is cut from the same mold and John McCain is the only choice to keep this country safe and strong.

Notice how the GOP doesnt talk about the war. Notice how they never talk about Gas Prices. Or home foreclosures. Or what they are going to do about the economy.

All you hear is "Obama is inexperienced". "Obama is a Muslim". "Obama is a Black Racist". "Obama is a Rock Star".

Never do they talk about the ISSUES. Why? Because all those things happened under their policies. Gas Prices are nearing $5 a gallon and John McCain wants to talk about Jimmy Carter, a man who has been out of office for 3 decades…..

The GOP has nothing. The haev become a parody of themselves.

Ben …………… I feel sorry for McCain. He is running his race on a crippled plow horse against a super race horse. He can't possibly win! Even Murdach(sp?) the owner of fox news, the most biased republican network in America said he will lose in a landslide…………
DITTO!!!!!!

Who is the elitist? Who with his wife owns 7 houses? What a man of the people……the top 1%.

Please don't allow the Fossil to fly Da Plane. Specially over populated areas. Have a friend who was a POW. He's not a hero too? No, just an alcoholic with mental problems and flashbacks. We don't let him fly either.

In ohio,"I understand your pain when you lose your job to free trade". Then he goes out and buy's a plane. Unbelievable!

Senator McCain, I lost more than 7,000 dollars of my 401K this past week. This is not a flip flop but it is real.
My net worth has declined so much that I am afraid my daughter may not be able to go to college this year.

Instead of buying a plane, can you tell me EXACTLY what you will do for young people who worked hard in High School and hell bent in going to college?

I have not heard one peep from you on that subject and I not asking for anything for myself but for the next generation.

How can my daughter afford 100,000 college loan at 7% or more and if I may say so; loans from evil corporations who care less if a child succeed?

I like your straight talk express but it lost it's wheels and now you new plane will loose it's wings too. Until your positions are a complete reverse from those of the Chimp, you are just like him.

"So, I decided just to have some fun and really get some Obamites mad. "

The essence of ignorance. To paraphrase:

"I really have nothing meaningful to say and I'm incapable of validating my ridiculous talking points, so I'm just hear to irritate people."

You, like John McCain, do more to illustrate your ignorance, hate, and lack of education than anything Barack Obama and his supporters could ever do.

Thanks. We appreciate it.

Straight talk express or the FLIP FLOP BUS. Whatever works for you.

That name was appropriate in his 2000 election bid, but not this year. John McCain's campaign has had little to do with straight talk. Unlike 2000, he changed positions to win the support of the conservative wing of the GOP just to get the nomination. He continues to repeat the Bush Administration's party line on taxes, the economy, and Iraq. Given that, the plane and bus should be called the "Bush III Express".

GA Republican did you trip over those ten broken down cars in your driveway or trip over the Bud beer cans in your living room? Listen Archie Bunker, Obama went to an Ivy League school and graduated with honors. I think the problem with you is that you know that you and your GED having buddys are jealous that this black man is superior to you in every way. When your government borrows trillions of dollars from China to support a failed war that your candidate supports tell me who is making who dependent or whose government? Have somebody read this to you because you can't.

Cnn why do you let racist like Ga Republicans remarks up on a public forum?…..

republicans would actually have a chance if Ron Paul was their nominee. Why did they push Romeny and McCain so much? McCain doesn't stand a chance…look at this comments section. Maybe 2% of the post support McCain. Straight talk express my butt!

No person that is running fopr President is talking straight. They employ spin doctors to write for them, telling the public what they think they want to hear. I can't complain about Gov. because I don't vote for anyone running for national office. I am not a genius but I have common sense.

Boo HA HA HA!!!! Sam, I not angry. I am having a great time making you Obamites blow your cork.

I have three children that are doing just fine, thank you. What Obama policies are you talking about? "Change", "Yes we can", or maybe a little fist bump.

Here are policies I believe in: More drilling for short-term relief; Offering incentives for private enterprise to develope more efficient batteries for electric cars, nuclear and wind power for long-term relief; a parliamentary question and answer session like the Brits have for the Congress and President to face each other and work out differences; A free and strong Iraq with US presence like Germany and Japan; …..

See the difference here??????

Too bad he can't grow a pair, little Napoleon.

now I see why he left his CRIPPLED wife..everytime i hear the name mcain i throw up a little bit. OBAMA 08!

Sam, you have a lot of nerve, You are a typical democrat wanting your handout. The Government won't take care of my children in the future It's my resposibility as a parent to make sure they are set for their future. So grow up get a job and accept some responsibility. Quite depending on everyone else to give you a free ride. I just returned from the best vacation my family has ever had. I paid as much as $4.89 per gal. for gas and up to $400.oo per night for a hotel. My 3 kids got to do almost anything they wanted. My wife shopped. After 2 weeks of pure fun and American history around the US I must say my hard work payed off. Oh, by the way, I paid for this myself without Government handouts.

With the limited amount of money he has was, is all that graphic stuff on a plane really necessary? Besides he is THE CROOKED TALK EXPRESS.

HE FLIP FLOPED:

-ON THE BUSH TAX CUTS,

-ON OFF SHORE DRILLING,

- ON IMMIGRATION,

–PUBLIC FUNDING

-PASTORS PAT ROBERTSON, AND JERRY FARWELL WERE ONCE AGENTS OF INTOLERANCE, NOW HE COURTING THEIR ENDORSEMENTS?

OBAMA HAS FLIP FLOPPED TOO, BUT IM MORE INCLINED TO TRUST SOMEONE WHO HAS FLIP FLOP ON 2 TISSUES THAT I DONT CARE ABOUT THEN TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN. I'VE BEEN DOING MY RESEARCH JOHN MCCAIN AND YOU SIR ARE LOSING YOUR BARRINGS…LITERALLY!

Straight Talk? Flip Flop! That logo should say: " Your Message Here in Exchange for Your Vote"

Jason… You sound like a jealous girly man. What are you doing calling a man a prettyboy? John McCain is a worn out loser, abuser and womanizer. How does that sound Jason?

it makes me almost lol when MCSame and the arrogant Mitt romney call Senator Obama Elitist .If anyone is Elitist its MCSame and Romney
They come from wealth!!!!!
Obana had a tough upbringing money wise
He does NOT come from wealth and is still not wealthy compared to
McSame
Seems to me someone like Senator Obama could relate more to those that are struggling than the elitist MCSame!!!
Obama has been there in his life….struggling for what he attained!

McCain has a lot of nerve talking about Obama not being trusted. The desparate old coot should look at all of his pandering flip flops to the Bush side to get the approval of the Bush base. Disgraceful.

John, how old are you, 12?

THE PLANE WILL BE CALLED—-THE VULTURE.

Steve, I really gave up trying to say anything meaningful on these forums because it is drowned out by the Obamites. So, I decided just to have some fun and really get some Obamites mad. Looks like it worked and I feel great now. Thanks.

Dave, Illionois you are just angry, unhappy and miserable human being. YOu are just full of hate with no substance. Look what happen you America because of Bush and you want another bush in the white house. How selfish can you be? Just because you do not like Obama as a person (not his policies) because his policies are the best so far you are willing to let your own children dream crash?? Think again you fool

What's wrong dems? Republicans have an idea for their campaign that you didn't? GREAT JOB JOHN McCAIN!!!!!!!!! You see the Obama camp ants us to believe Obama's just a poor little old black man who's trying to sell America on his incompitent, stupid, demoralizing ideas. He wants to make America weak and dependent on the Government so that we all can live in the hood. Not this hardworking white man, I won't fall for the Blackhouse concept!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where have all you liberal coots been hiding all these years? Is it not common knowledge that during presidential campaigns, the candidates FLY from location to location? How on earth are they supposed to tour the country to efficiently explain their proposed policies solely on a BUS??? All of you fools leaving comments about how this is a "waste of taxpayer money" etc, you're obviously biased uneducated (yet ignorantly opinionated) individuals. This is NORMAL and EXPECTED and if you think Obama will be touring the country exclusively on a bus then you're a lost cause.

Why don't you spend some time learning before you open your mouths. THEN when you speak, people will value your opinions.

At least McCain was using ground transportation during his campaign to be amongst Americans. Obama, who thinks he's god has to use airplanes to travel "above Americans".

Finally a candidate that tells it as it is insted of
saying only what people want to hear.

At least McCain was using ground transportation so that he can be amongst us Americans, unlike Obama, who thinks he's God and has to fly above us Americans.

I live in AZ and McBush has sooooo much money from his wife it really doesn't matter what he does. They have 8 houses and I have never liked is moral attitude especially when he stole thousand from retired people during the Keating 5. He should have gone to jail along with his wife for stealing drugs from a foundation, BUT they are rich, rich and more rich and got off. McBush has NEVER done a thing for AZ and most of us out here do not care for the man. No way he could even get elected to the senate from AZ today!!! He's toooo old!!! I'm 64, ready to retire and no way do I want anyone any older than I am trying to take care of me!!!! Its time to turn things over to the youth of this country and I do believe they will do a much, much better job!!!!

GrandPa co home, play with grand children

Atleast Cindy pays $1.5 million on her $6 million she made. John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz paid $175,000 on her $5 million in 2004. I guess the liberals have the tax breaks biased to their own elitist. Obama will given a plane by his own Corporate special interest to fly around.

How old is he? 99?

How does Obama get around? Does he walk? Who pays for his traveling expences?

If you Obama supporters are going to attack Mrs. McCain then you can't say a word when Michelle not proud to be American gets attack.

Ridgeway you said it very well.

Obama supporters are in for a rude awaking. He does not walk on water.

Obama supporters need to wake up and see what a flip-flopper Obama is.

Wow Mccain!

Now you don't actually have to stand next to the American people. You can do fly overs like bush did when Hurricane Katrina happened and look at the American people as ants.

Cool, now "carrie obama" can't fathom that any citizens of Illinois could possibly disagree with Obama. Yeah, thats right – Im one of those rural, gun-totin, people that cling to their religion instead of accepting the new Obama cult like you other little sheep.

Ha! This is fun. Can I piss any other of you Obamites off? Really! I'm luvin this!!!!!

It amazes me to see how all you Obama supporters can take a simple news clip and use it to continuously bash Senator McCain. I believe that it's because there is nothing good to be said of Obama. He is the real gimick in this election. He has no qualifications to be a presidential candidate, and if he were white, would not even have been considered as a potential candidate. He has done nothing in the state legislature, and absolutely nothing in the US senate except run for president. He spouts these empty promises about change (read from a teleprompter) without any clear idea about how to actually make them happen. All I've seen so far is a socialist candidate that thinks that wealth redistribution is the answer to fixing the problems in the black neighborhoods of this country. (it won't).
Obama is just another crooked Chicago politician who will do anything to get into office at any cost, and then use the position to better his own financial standing at the cost of the US taxpayer. He stands for NOTHING.

Who is buying this?

Dave: Hitler comparisons are for anyone who's run out of anything relevant and meaningful to say.

When pigs have wings…

Heh!! Like Obama has never flip-flopped before. Also according to Wolf Blitzer, it is ok to Flip-flop. You're just hating because you have no other work to do.

Good idea, John! Everyone else in this race is flying all over the place, why not you?

Yeah, McCain should walk everywhere just like poor black Obama. His campaign has no money and he has no book residuals. And the jet fuel! Out rageous! Doesn't he know Al Gore needs the extra engergy to light up his mansions in TN and fuel his SUVs. Oh yeah and the nerve of McCain's wife while poor Michelle can barely afford clothes because this Country has been so mean to her.
Liberals are sick morons just like their politicians.

Gee I wonder if McCain's jet is as big and cumbersome and gas-guzzling as the one Al Gore flies around in to preach to the sheep about global warming? Or if McCain's house is as energy-sapping as Al Gore's big ol' house?

And as for Bam-Bam – he goes to a church for 20 years that calls America the "U.S.KKK.of A" and then tells us he loves his country. He takes his kids to listen to a race-baiting foam-at-the-mouth preacher screech that the U.S. Gov't invented HIV to kill off black people, and then says he wants to bring people of all races together. It was so amusing to me when his wife tried to back off her statement that when her husband got nominated, it was the first time she felt proud of her country. After listening to such racist bile for so long, how could she say anything else? How could anyone expect any better of her?

Obama is a liar, a poser and a shallow pretty boy. I'm voting for a MAN for President, a man who has truly served his country in every capacity, a man brave enough to risk his political career to take a stand, as he did when he supported the surge that is winning the war in Iraq. That MAN is John McCain. Now all you Obama fan girls go drool over his picture and screech "He's so pretty!" at each other LOLOLOL

shut up,dave illinois
we all know u dont live there
you are some redneck
stop ur stupidity

Waste of money..

Where does it say anywhere in the story that he bought it , everyone slams him saying his wife bought it and i even seen one comment where someone said he didnt pay his taxes, Just get over it , just because Obama doesnt have a story about his plane with his name or slogan on it doesnt mean he doesnt have one to. Then you better question who paid for his…

Nothing straight about McCain and all his back and forth talks. How do you know you're talking straight when you can't remember what you said a minute ago? You have to know-if not, at least, remember -what your coordinate values are of your precceding point in order to create the next point of connections for a straight line; in this case, talk straight.

McCain is using the same Republican doublespeak: if I say it often enough it will be the truth. I lThink "Waffle Express" is indeed a more appropriate name.

Al Gore double talk

“In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a Nashville-based free market think tank and watchdog organization, obtained information about Gore’s home energy use through a public records request to the Nashville Electric Service.”

It is amazing how the Obamabots jump all over McCain for having an airplane.

great
now why cant they all just fly away and never come back?

WOW you are so good that I think no one knows you are a flaming troll.

You Obamites are so funny. Lets see, so far we have: McCain peeing in his depends, wishing for the plane to crash, yada, yada, yada…

Hey Donna. Its not about this subject. Its about you Obamite sheep. I just like to anger you little bully types with reflections about your behavior. I will continue my freedom of speech at least until your socialist Chicago creep gains power and stomps it out.

Wow! A jet! Cool! Now he can fly around the country, spreading his faulty message at even greater speed! It may seem like you'll impress people by arriving in a jet, John, but one you open your mouth, those that might have been impressed will realize it's the same old, bus-riding John.

A jet won't do anything for you except burn your limited campaign money at an apalling rate. Nice fiscal judgment, Mr. McCain. You're the kind of guy I want trying to fix my economy (NOT!)

Who's paying for the fuel????????

McCain

Does not care about the environment.

Obama 08 & 12.

Obama double talk =

“I do not take money from oil companies” but forgot to say that McCain does not either. Look up the Facts!!! Obama also forgot to say that 2 of his bundlers are top executives at oil companies that give $50,000 and $100,000 to him. That is a fact and you can even see that listed on his own website.
Two of Obama's fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief executive of Houston-based Mission Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co."

He really should consider changing his name from the straight talk express to the flip-flop express. It more depicts his campaign.

McCain is so arrogant. He is the epitome of an elitist, flying around in his fancy jet while people stave in this country and struggle to pay their meager mortgages.
He is so arrogant he believes his opinion should be the final word on everything. He claims to know what the people want but he is completely out of touch with reality. His wife is a horrible mess of plastic surgery and a spoiled rich brat that thinks her money can buy her whatever she wants.
If McCain steals the election I am moving to Canada.

At least it is an American plane! I am only impressed by that fact.

Weathervane McCain, I'll give you some straight talk… you've become a joke.

its a wonder he didn't use an airbus plane since he and the the airbus lobbyists that run his campaign want to put boeing out of emlpoyees out of work

I BET HE WONT WORRY ABOUT GAS PRICES KEEPING THAT BIG PLANE "UP" AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY DOWN!! HE IS THE WORST CANDIDATE I HAVE EVER SEEN

What is abundantly clear to me is that no one is interested in a real discussion about the problems facing the United States. Obama supporters believe magically that their eloquent leader will be a savior of sorts. McCain supporters are split between neo-conservatives and traditional republican ideologues and care more about securing another election than the direction of the country. How is it that the greatest we have to offer is Obama or McCain as choices? What is wrong with the country is that we have languished behind the weak and self-serving leadership of Democrats and Republicans. Thanks CNN for promoting a dialogue about McCain's plane and yesterday Obama's gym problems.

If I was all you liberals I wouldn't cry about McCain breaking out a new Plane. According to all you Obama people (the messiah) Obama is going to win and be the second coming of christ to save us from the muslims and make sure everybody gets their welfare check on time.I only have one question. When he starts taxing all the working people to much and they decide to get in line to get them free handouts, who is going to be working to support these handouts.

Dave..what does your rant have to do with this topic? oh yeah..NOTHING….

It must be nice to have a wife that can purchase you a plane…I really want to know who paid for it!!! PLEASE DIG INTO THE ORIGINS OF THIS PLANE…I hope the taxpayers aren't footing his bill…

But did he use his AARP discount to purchase it?

I would suggest the "Straight talk buggy-whip". It'd be more appropriate.

Why do Obama supporters so closely resemble a pack of rabid dogs, frothing at the mouth, with no apparent control over their senses? Why do they continually resort to name calling and making idiotic puns of the opponent's name? This torrent of obnoxiousness will not elect your pathetic candidate. It did not elect Obama in the primaries and, since there are no superdelegates to hand the Novemeber election over, it will not work in the months to come. The collective arrogance of Barack Obama and his minions should condemn the entire group of blithering idiots to failure.

More like my "attack Obama flight". I guess Cindy to paid for it.

I think it is time for him to get a plane and that way he will be able to make all them town hall meetings that Obama refuses to do. Hmmmm, I wonder why the great orator ( the myth the press created) want debate in front of ordinary people. Reckon he might have to answer real questions and might not look as sharp as that old man without someone telling him what to say.

For all those idiots who are spreading rumors: He is renting the plane. People should give McCain credit for fighting aginst Obama with little resources.

Which candidate do think of when you hear the word "survivor", "hero", "problem.- solver","bi-partisan","maverick"?

And which candidate comes to mind when you hear the words: "naive", "elitists","arrogant" ?

He ought to pay his property taxes in San Diego before buying/leasing a jet…just my opinion

He does NOT work on weekends ( another George Bush) WHY DOES HE NEED A PLANE?
Obama/Biden08

I agree with John. He can't be trusted. Remember the bomb,bomb,bomb, Iran remarks? He will get us into another war, but remember we don't have enough troops. So, what that means is….John McCain=Draft…

I'm glad you clarified it wa a jet. I was trying to figure out how McCain was going to get everyone in a World War I biplane, like the one he's used to flying…

A jet will allow McCain to fly around the country quickly to talk to the 17 people who actually think it's a good idea for him to be president.

It doesn't matter is he rides in a bus or in a plane–it's the same tired message.

John McCain's message would have been perfect 10-15 years ago.

I repeat:

He can ride a bus or a train, but his message is still the same.

Does it change directions as much as him, but keep the press so turned-around that they only worry about whether he likes them?

Mr. Flip-flop express is more like it. He has changed more positions on more issues than any other candidate for president. Please belive that Barack will call him out on every single one in those debates, even using his own quotes word for word.

Hmmm I guess we know where this " Common Man" Spent those Tax Dollars that he has Defaulted on for the last 4 years for the SO Cal Home ( One of seven).

How many Candidates have a Private Plane…no JET LINER!!??

If this were Obama ALL of the MSM would be doing " IS HE ELITIST?" Stories 24/7

He may have been able to convince people he was the straight talk express years ago. Back then I considered voting for him. Now though, he's just an extension of the bad policies of the Republican Bush regime.
It's time for change. America is not just for the rich, it's for everyone.

Didn't you know when he talks about "straight talk" he is only making reference to his wide anti gay stance.

jive talk express

The republicans meant well, but unfortunately, Bush put dogma over common sense. McCain is clearly the same. McCain can't even conceive of a post 9/11 world. I do not believe McCain is the better candidate to protect and defend the Constitution or my life, liberty or pursuit of happiness. A McCain win is a loss for republicans and democrats alike.

mccain will arrest and deport all latinos to guantanamo,where they belong,and he won't allow them any tortillas.

Like a salesman, build your weakest point as your greatest strength so you don't need to answer to it. I like McCain, but he and the rest of the Republicans need to go and get some fresh blood. They nolonger control the party and it only represents the interests of big money and they just don't care about the people or the country no more.

Sen McCain. Why not call your new plane the "Trash-Talk Express" to more accuratly reflect how you've been running your campaign.

Will this jet also be skirting campaign finance laws, like his previous steed?

seems like a lot of Red bull to me

A very not so subtle way of pointing out how the rigors of campaigning via bus is yet another weakness of McCain and brings to question whether he is physically able to perform this high-stress level job (on a daily basis) given all of his infirmities.

How do you rape a nation,kill over a100,000 of its'people, plus over 4000 of our finest young men, have their leader hanged, and do all this with the excuse of false and delibertly distorted information, and still have the temerity to say we will leave with honor? Even if we stay there 100 years, we will never leave with honor. We lost all honor all over the world when we attacked a nation that meant us no harm.

he threw his bus under the bus…?

How can the plane fly with only a right wing?

Why didn't CNN do a little digging and find out who bought the plane for him? If you revealed that, you'd find out who gets the straight talk while the rest of us get stuck with flip-flops and spin.

Ohhhh, that's why the McCain's didn't pay their California property taxes in 4 years. They were saving up to pay for the logo on the plane. Great financial planning guys!

ahhh… look at the cool plane McCain bought with TAX PAYER MONEY!

Gee, what about the sweet deal he had on his wifes corporate jet? I guess McSame FINALLY figured out that didn't look so good.

McCain is using the same Republican doublespeak: if I say it often enough it will be the truth. I lThink "Waffle Express" is indeed a more appropriate name.

I am still confused about, other than being a prisoner of war (heroic I admit) and a mandarin in the Senate, about what actually McCain has accomplished internationally or nationally.

This from the guy that doesn't even know (or care) what a gallon of gas costs the average working stiff.

If you liked Bush, you'll love McCain.

Ron posted:

"when will the obama supporters understand that the terrorist of this world are not influenced by words. the reason you can walk freely in this country is because you have the protection of the law enforcement. there are many area's in this country where street gangs rule, killing and terrorizing their neighbourhoods protected by bleeding heart laws that tie the laws hands and discourage people from coming forward to testify.it's easy to shoot your mouth off when your living in a upscale neighbourhood protected by the police try that in a slum area.how many terrorist attacks have there been since bush went after them.vote for who you want but don't ever think that diplomacy will prevent people that are willing to kill their own women and children as well as themselves will respond to anything but force. once they know the consequences then they'll want to negotiate. obama did not invent negotiations it's been around since the beginning of time. remember JF kennedy negotiated with kruschev but it was the threath of force that made him leave Cuba"

Ron you are using the Nazi talking points from the 30's and 40's. "We need to keep attacking and killing everyone who do not agree with us."

You need help, if you think you can make everyone in the world love America by pointing a gun at them. Your common sense is warped.

Straight talk? He's flipped more times then a pancake at the IHOP.

Yeah, but will McCain be flying the plane?

Attack dogs are at it again. Cindy McCain has a ton of money, so what? You Obama-bots only know how to attempt to smear people with your jealousy. LMAO

I can't believe the above comments. How ignorant. After years of Dems complaining about the Repubs, now that the Dems are controlling Congress I see "nothing' getting done-still. And, all the Dems are offering us is a Jr senator with no experience??? "Scrapping" Hillary altogether? Obama will "change" things alright. He'll "negotiate" us right back into a hostage crisis-OR WORSE. The terrorist organizations will walk all over him-period. And has everyone forgotten who got us into Afganistan in the first place? Tricky Bill-A DEMOCRAT. long before Bush Jr. Oh-and for those that want to blame the Repubs about the 4000+ soldier losses so far (which includes "Bill's" Afganistan)-remember the tens of thousands lost in Vietnam? Under LBJ? A DEMOCRAT….
I'm an independent voter-and for me it's a no brainer. It's McCain all the way….

McCain and his Republican handlers will just keep on trying to get media attention, and here is another example of a "So What??"

Who CARES if you have a jet airplane at your disposal, I am sure that now you can barely afford it so it's paid for by somebody else, Cindy Loo-Hoo maybe??

One thing at least he's stopped using taxpayers' money… or is he?

DON'T BE FOOLED, JOHN MCCAIN IS THE WRONG CHOICE.

President Barack Obama. It feels good to read that!!

It's amazing to see how much venom some people have towards a guy who served our country in the military and in public service. He has been bucking his party and the president for years, and he actually has a record of bipartisanship (Obama has none). Now suddenly he's this horrible person just because he's running against the Obamessiah. You people really need to stop worshiping him. You're acting like a bunch of lemmings. You'd walk off a cliff if he asked you to.

Nothing straight about McCain and his talks. How do you know you're talking straight when you can't remember what you said a minute ago? You have to know-if know, remember- the coordidate values of the preceeding point to reasonably connect the next point to declare your line or talk straight.

I used to supprt Obama, but with him slowly flip-flopping all the issues that made me like him (such as NAFTA) now I'm not so sure.
He's now that media darling (him having 1853 stories about him on cnn, McCain with 996) so surely this comment will be edited out. I'm not for McCain though, just speculating about him. I do like McCain's idea about townhall debates this summer, and I feel a strong leader would agree to this. It seems to me most the people I know personally want Obama mostly based on the fact that he's half black (a sorry fact indeed, color should not determine a president be he black, white, or another color) or because they are enchanted by the media, few can actually defend their support of him. It seems to me most people like or hate McCain because he wants to stay in Iraq (which to me seems a sensible idea as Iraq is to be the last nation to peak in oil in the world.)

I'm still on the fence between the two. What will drive me away from the candidates is their VP picks. If Obama picks Clinton he loses my vote. If McCain picks Mitt Romney he's lost my vote. If both pick sensible VPs I'll stay on the fence. If both screw-up, which is most likely to happen, I'm writing in the only person with any common sense, the ever over-looked Ron Paul.

Let's stop this popularity contest and make it into an election CNN, show us some more John McCain so that we might better decide the lesser of these two evils. If you read this at all Sen. Obama, show your strength and accept these townhall debates. If you read this Sen. McCain, stick to your guns and don't go flip-flopping for Hillary's votes, it'll pay off.

Wish he would fly out of the country—and not come back!

is this supposed to impress us? is the plane paid for by his trophy wife? he is sickening and nothing he does will ever make me think he is fit to run our country!
he is an old man reliving his youth as a GI JOE and expects us all to think because he was a prisoner for 5 years that makes him qualified to be a leader in this world! what did he learn as he was behind prison walls that makes him so fit for this job?? why hasn't he done anything for our country in the last 25 years when he was young enough to make a differance?
thank god for barack obama for bringing in fresh young ideas to rebuild our crediablity and create a new government that can work for the people and not for the old cronies just like McBush and the other oil buddies that now run the whitehouse.

So he didn't pay his taxes on his 7th home in California for the past 4 years and now he unviels a new plane.. What an elitist..

Yes.. We… Can…

"straight talk" …. hahahahahahaha.you are a politician,mcsame.nothing you say is straight talk.

oh yeah!straight talk express to the hell….non stop!

MD in CT June 29th, 2008 10:08 am ET

Go to YouTube.com Vietnam Veterans Against McCain and listen to the Republican Senator from New Hampshire, Bob Smith, and others tell you about McCain and "Straight Talk." After hearing that, I could not vote for McCain ever and believe that anyone that was also in the Vietnam Conflict or ever in the military could vote for him.

____________________________________________

And why would they vote for Obabma who has yet to go to Iraq and meet with the Gen. and the troops? Please, if a "Youtube" was what made you decide then you likely think all the TV ads are 100% facts. ….or you are a troll.

Sickening…..Here I am wondering if everything I ever worked for in my life is going to go down the tube with the current state of the economy, as I believe a lot of Americans are…and this sucker is flying around in a jet. I cant even afford gas for my car these days.

Do it on the net dude…be different…that would empress me.

Good job old chap! now get the heck out of the way..
I don't think it is fair to be ciritsizing Cindy for the plane and all but you guys should look at his bush buddies.. I bet they are well behind him now that he is calling for off shore dilling ban to be lifted..

that would make billions for big oil but listen to this.. it won't help you at the pump as it will take years to develop but atleast it will be a good excuse to help out big oil in their time of need.. (excess I mean)..

WAY TO GO, MCCAIN! TIME TO ENERGIZE YOUR CAMPAIGN FOR A BIG WIN, WIN, WIN……….IN NOVEMBER! YOU ARE THE ONLY CANDIDATE QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT NATION! GO….MCCAIN, 08!!

Paid for by the Lobbyist of America !!! — but people give Obama slack for accepting money from the American people who actually want to support his campaign.

ooooops I just pee on my depends…..the face says it all!

what about the G.I. BILL?
what about your campaign loaded with lobbyists?

we cannot trust you, and do NOT call me your friend, thank you

Since the gas prices are high and McCain's holiday tax-free gas will not do any good after all, he resorted to an airplane with the hope that the campaign will be able to at least pay for the fuel since the plane is the bribe from Boeing.

What a lousy way to spend money on stupid and non-sense items.
Why not spend that money to buy food and medicine and take it yourself to a homeless shelter or to a poor country and distribute it among the needy.

McCain cares so much about the environment and energy costs that he's willing to add more smog and pollution to the skies with his airplane that his big oil donors and other lobbyists paid for. Sounds like big change to me! When will Grandpa John Needs-a-cane just give it up?

It's said that his campaign paid for the plane. I'm a little curious about that. Don't those planes cost about 25% of his total $85 million? How can he afford it?

Courtesy of Cindy Mccain.

You'd think they'd pay off the remainder of the back taxes on their condo in La Jolla first. But hey, he's only running for President, why would that story get precedence over this lovely puff piece?

Great!
Now he can jet around as fast as Mr. Obama and Hillary feigning a political marriage of ideas–as their "shadow figures attempt to hatchet each other in the head".

Do the jets these candidates travel around on come from their personal finances, their party, or their raised donations?

It should be named "The Waffle Express". I never seen a candidate change position so many times, on so many topics. McCain's word cannot be trusted, unless your are a big corporation that doles out money to his campaign. I don't want anybody with a temper like his anywhere the White House, he'll have us in another war of his (or Bush's) own making.

McCain you are pathetic! Old man. Go Get some geritol! You are not going to win.

95 times just equal his vote for Bush.

That is Mcbush

I GUESS CINDY BROUGHT THIS WITH HER CORPORATE DOLLARS…WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY

Instead of paying the taxes on his California condo, he bought a plane? And he wants us to trust him to lead this country…? Are you kidding me?

A 747 would have been better. May be with a tiny little sleeping room, a bath and a beauty parlour. A big prize requires big investments.

there is a lot at stake people…
if you could go back in time to 2000, knowing what you you know now would you still vote for Bush? well if you are in worse shape now then in 1999, if you are tired of the politicians who have the special interest groups in mind, if you are tired of this OIL WAR killing over 4000 US soldiers so Exxon could get thier no bid contracts, if you AMERICANS are tired of the weak dollar ( the worth of our dollar is less than some countries we consider third world), our country is in the WORSE shape it has ever been in due to the GOP. but those big corporations backed by the GOP are making TRILLIONS of dollars…Chaney/ Bush all of the Halliburton stuff will come to light. Americans are loosing their homes, jobs, we people who have to choose between food or medicine, food prices are critical and we all know how badly the pump has hit us.
ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country…well here's an idea. DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN. for if you do…GOD help America cause she is desperately going to need it.
Obama 08….stop the criminal activity of the GOP. stop the madness

How many MPG's does it get? Another excuse to drill off-shore!

They should call it the "Flip-Flop Express." A new logo could be Joe Lieberman standing behind Senator McCain, whispering into his ear.

Maybe he should fly to Iraq and stay there for a month, see our soldiers are suffering in that un-necessary war. Then come back and if he still says we are staying 100 years… people should forget him for the next 100 years.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Does that mean the "Straight Talk Express" has derailed? lol

Many Americans already felt that way unfortunately, as McCain adopted more Bush policies he was originally against.

Go to YouTube.com Vietnam Veterans Against McCain and listen to the Republican Senator from New Hampshire, Bob Smith, and others tell you about McCain and "Straight Talk." After hearing that, I could not vote for McCain ever and believe that anyone that was also in the Vietnam Conflict or ever in the military could vote for him. This is just one of many reasons why I will give up my tax break to keep McBush out of the White House.

really!!!!!!!!!!!!wow, does it have wheelchair entrance? inquiring mind wants to know

I'll plant this little bomb for you Obamites who will soon fill this forum with your little tirades. I can't do this during the week because I worK:

Audacity of Hope = Mein Kampfh

Charasmatic leader in his 40's who could captivate a crowd and promised his people vague promises of "change". They chanted empty slogans not knowing what what their slogans really meant. The leader would target his enemies with code words meant to demean, but never directly insult. He left that to his henchmen. They would march in the streets and torment his political enemies. They would interrupt his opposition and would not let them speak. The media of the time loved this charismatic leader and dared not to give him any bad press.

Sound familiar, Obamites? Read your history books about what blind, adoring, servitude by the people got the Germans. Your dirty Chicago politician is playing you like a drum. Your idea of diversity is sick. Yeah, the Democratic party is truely diverse: You can be both a fascist and a socialist.

This battle has nothing to do with race – at least not from this opposition's perspective. Its about ideas. And Obama's ideas are simply about power. Where are his plans for energy, the war on terror, the economy? He only denounces McCain's ideas and spouts generalities for solutions. Wake up before its to late!!!!

It must be really nice….. Wonder who's paying for the fuel? This is the same person thats running around screaming, Obama is an elitist?
No wrorry, It's a free ride for the warmonger untill november.

If the 737 follows anything like McFlipFlop's political views, it will be doing complex aerobatics whereever it goes, i.e., radical changes of directions, barrell rolls, spins and inverted spins, and so much more.

I liked McFlipFlop in 2000 and would have voted for him over the chimp in an instant, but I don't like the McFlipFlop of 2008 not at all.

Let the PUMAs vote for McFlipFlop — they are only a few hundred brain- dead PWT old ninnies anyhow.

When American Continental Corporation, the parent of Lincoln Savings, went bankrupt in 1989, more than 21,000 mostly elderly investors lost their life savings.
In early 1987, at the beginning of his first Senate term, McCain attended two meetings with federal banking regulators to discuss an investigation into Lincoln Savings and Loan, an Irvine, Calif., thrift owned by Arizona developer Charles Keating. Federal auditors were investigating Keating's banking practices, and Keating, fearful that the government would seize his S&L, sought intervention from a number of U.S. senators.
After McCain's election to the House in 1982, he and his family made at least nine trips at Keating's expense, three of which were to Keating's Bahamas retreat. McCain did not disclose the trips (as he was required to under House rules) until the scandal broke in 1989. At that point, he paid Keating $13,433 for the flights
And in April 1986, one year before the meeting with the regulators, McCain's wife, Cindy, and her father invested $359,100 in a Keating strip mall.
McCain was guilty of nothing more than "poor judgment," the committee said
"poor judgment" indeed. thats just what you have if you are contempling a vote for McCain….

Something you won't see Mr. Change do and that is straight talk.

Disgusting.

Big plane. High hopes. Low expectations. Little chance.

Lets pray that the plane keeps going up and up and up! Oh yeah, and away forever.

I dislike how people want to vote for Mccain simply because he wishes to drill in ANWR province, when there is never any talk about any guarantee whether most of that oil will even stay within the US for consumption. Ask more questions people, before you choose!

What???????????
Who paid for that? Does he own the plane? Did Cindy buy it for him?
What a waste of money. Of course they have plenty so I hope the taxpayers didn't have to foot the bill.
With any luck he will be piloting. We all know how good he is at that! hahaha

Uh, who cares?

Oh Boy! A new toy jet. McBush can pretend it is a bomber while he sings. Bomb bomb bomb , bomb bomb Iran!

Keep in mind that airplanes fly in an arc … not a "straight" line, which is a perfect metaphor for McCain's not so straight talk.

Beware Clintonites: McCain will promise you the world and it will vanish before your eyes if he is elected. Don't be fooled.

He should reconsider naming that plane "FLIP FLOP EXPRESS"
Or 100 years for "Victory" in IRAK

Very nice. The luxury jet will make a sumptuous back ground for the multi millionaire corporate heiress Cindy. To say condesending little comments to the common folk like." I am proud of my country, arn't you" Maybe Cindy is the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette. The economy is really bad? Giggle, then let them eat cake.

Straight Talk. Right and as soon as I believe that one, I'll believe a politician actually cares and is going to do something positive for the country.

Boy it must be great to get PAC money! Those lobbyist are doing McSame many favors. They have it made IF he makes it to the White House. IF………

Let's hope the plane do better with straight talk than his bus that seems to stay in the ditch!

Go Bam! Clip his wing!

isn't that nice, lies in the skies.

OOH, very nice jet. Did Cindy buy it with her Corporate tax breaks and obscene profit margins?

WHO CARES DONT YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO TALK ABOUT. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE DYING IN THE WORLD AND SOME HOW THIS IS NEWS. CNN YOU SUCK

Straight talk??? Is he kidding? He changes his mind like the wind, does anyone including himself know what he stands for? BTW where does he plan to store the waste from those 45 nuclear plants he wants to build? I'll take Obama's sound judgement over mccain's so called 'experience' anyday.
