Calling all Obama-ites step away from the Kool-Aid. If Obama is elected it will be Jones town on a national scale. Liberalism is truley a mental disorder and it destroys societies.

Frighteningly incompetent=Bush/McCain for another 4 years

Right on, sister. Obama is a complete nitwit which is exactly why his greatest supporters are Mahmoud Achmadenijad, Kim Jong-il, Hugo Chavez and France. This guy couldn't run the graveyard shift at McDonalds let alone the country.

Of course the MSM is hyping obama. Why do you think the constantly panned Hillary Clinton for everything that obama did. He is sneaky, underhanded and the presidency is no place to have a LEARNING experience. Look at what happened when bush was there for eight years. obama is an egotistical twit, who really believes the stuff his dumb bunny supporters throw out there.

We should be afraid of Obama? Get real lady…….we've had Darth Vader running the operation from his secret bunker, while Bozo was out front doing the soft shoe dance trying to fool the public for the last eight years. Obama will be such a drastic improvement, it's not even close! And I mean no disrespect to the real Bozo…….

The current administration, the Republican Party's presumptive nominee, and old school Washington are just that…old, stale and ineffective.

If 'inexperience' in the ways of Washington politics, lobbying, pork barrel spending, government waste, etc., etc., brings us a new perspective, a new vision for this country, a fresh approach to Washington politics, then I am all for it.

Bring it on Obama!

This is amazing that they have found yet another way to blame Obama for something that he didn't do and isn't even bad. The White House is who leaked the info about the agreement and a newspaper in another country said Iraq agreed with Obama.

Yet somehow, Obama is the problem. Keep on lying and spinning Republicans. To quote the Joker, "this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets and immovable object." The good news is there's only one top spot in this country.

Heather Wilson lead the charge on important issues like Janet Jackson's "slippage" during the Superbowl, you know, the same issue which led a federal court to throw out the FCC's fine? I certainly hope the voters of New Mexico are smart enough not to send her to the U.S. Senate. Typical GOP strategy–try to distract voters by scaring them–rinse and repeat since 2002.

It is funny that some write about doing combat in IRAN. Do they realize that some of them will only come back in body bags or may be severely hurt mentally and physically that they will not have a normal life at all.
People think clearly it is better to have a verbal discussion than using weapons to make your point understood.
Pen is mightier than sword. Use the pen and get ahead rather the sword or the gun.

In response to the distinguished Congresswoman: What is really, really frightening is that Senator McCain has much more experience than Senator Obama, but still manages to get it all wrong - the economy, foreing relations and policy, and the operation of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Keep in mind, McCain wants to bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, wants an American policy built on warmongering by the US on multiple fronts just like when we still had a military draft, limitless international support and the financial ability to run them all. Wake up and smell the coffee, Senator McCain, it is time for a new strategical foreign policy built on current-day realities for the United States. John McCain just doesn't have it or get it.

If we have 'succeeded' in Iraq…..
And Iraq wants us out…..

why are we still there??

The outcome of most elections are determined by the late deciding independent voters.

Obama supporters, we don’t need to ARGUE with posters here. Trust me, the anti-Obama views ARE NOT coming from the people the Democrats need to win this election. The Democrats need the people that are largely sitting back QUIETLY reading and reviewing these blogs.

Use the anti-Obama posts so that you know all the negative attacks that we should dissect on this blog so that the UNDECIDED voter gets honest clarity around those topics and makes the smart choice. We don’t need to twist, manipulate or parse words. We’re backing the more intelligent, more thoughtful candidate that builds high performing teams.

Succinctly rebut the false claim. Support it with facts and give the reference for the facts so that it can be checked. When quoting McCain or a surrogate, list the name of the publication or TV show, the date it ran, etc. Pick your words carefully to remove ambiguity and to avoid exaggerating, or being bombastic.

Verbally denigrating an opponent never impresses someone else that you want to join your team.

Remember this is a public forum and people perpetrate their identities and their motives. Let us be the adults here.

In the end, we all want to hire the smart guy.

WOW. This diatribe is getting personal. This is begining to seem desperate and pathetic. Why cant the McCain campaign focus on policy and relevant issues?

Scheuneman mentioning junior high in Indonesia, spring break to what reason? Obama has never referenced McCain's school or any of his personal stuff - not even the crashing of five planes, or visiting strip malls, or breaking virtually every rule wihle in navy school.

Hmmm, to all the naysayers, racist, right wing nuts, religious zealouts on here who continue to paint Obama as inexperienced (code word for he's black!) and a threat to America as we know it. I hope so. Because we sure could use a change from the America we now know!
Apparently rational people, Republican and Democrat alike seem to know this. Just ask Chuck Hagel, war hero, pragmatic, but a conservative white Senator from Nebraska traveling with the inexperienced Obama through Iraq. Could a revered politician from the right be so wrong…Hmmm I wonder.

Still trying to scare the American people……………

so sad…………………………..

What is this lady saying? I've heard and seen two different spokepeople for the Iraq government say they support almost exactly what Obama's plan is. It's on tape. She is blatantly lying and hoping uninformed people will blindly follow.

The day Obama opted out of campaign financing was his victory day. Can't imagine what would have happened if he didn't. Now, we the people will resist your lies, pandering, peddling etc with all our might. I just donated $50 to Obama. I will donate some more when the next agent of fear comes out -it will be soon. NEXT …

First off, who the heck is this woman and why should I listen to her? Second off, was she in those meeting Senator Obama was in? No. So how can she say what the Iraqies said? What a crock of BS from the McCain campaign.

All I keep hearing from the McCain campaign is criticism of Senator Obama and fear mongering. I went to his website to see if I could find out any specifics on his policy ideas and guess what? Nothing there. All I saw ware outlines of ideas and Senator McCain's philisophical approach without any details as to how McCain as President would accomplish his goals or implement his policies. Nothing even close to the details and specifics that Senator Obama has on his website.

". . . the latest effort from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign to step up its criticism of the Democratic presidential candidate while he travels abroad." So much for the 'respectful campaign' Senator McCain promised us.

What does she mean by "leadership"? All anyone can do at this stage is talk in broad strokes. Do you really want someone making and acting on policy reflected in 20 second sound bites? These generalities being tossed around are plain stupid and no one–NO ONE–in the media asks: what does that mean"?
Sorry, but Obama's trip to the Middle East was summed up in that 3-pointer he sunk when on the basketball court with the troops, and the Republicans were astounded by his reception by Iraqi leaders and our own troops, who were clearly thrilled by his presence. Panic time at the RNC!

McCain's using the old 'Attack, Attack, Attack' strategy today. He's basically got just a few strategies to try to land him in the oval office chair: Fear, Attack, War, Doubt, & Hate. Sounds like 'The Screwtape Letters' part 2″.

Who is Rep Wilson anyway??? Looks like they're digging deep for surrogates.

The Republicans whole entire campaign thus far has been based off nothing but fear!. I havent heard anything about what makes John Mccain supposedly better. He is going down the same channel as he and the Repubs accused Obama of doing early on. All talk, NO substance!

Not only to mention, Ms Wilson doesnt hold the weight of a feather to Bill Richardson in New Mexico.

well, SHE is frighteningly wrongly experienced.

the time for backward "republican" ideals is over. stop suggesting that all of you are "sooo" much more experienced. i don't care if you've been in some form of political office for 20+ years and are approaching 60. the fact of the matter is a new generation is rising up, being led by people such as Obama…and many of the elders still around in politics are past their prime.

STOP pushing experience and realize things are changing, "times are a'changin" to quote Dylan. the majority of Americans don't want to relate to your twisted "experienced" ideals.

your time is over. McCain, good luck to you.

you will not win, you are far too old, and far too disconnected from the majority of Americans, republican, democrat, or independent.

you lack the fine art of being personable.

What 'experience' did Guliani have, vis-a-vis, terrorist attacks when 9-11 happened? I think the only answer would have to be 'none,' and yet he is held up as a paragon of heroism (not that I agree.)
As for John McCain…my father was a retired WWII Navy Captain who went through many battles in the Pacific and Atlantic–including Normandy–and he would be the last person to think that those credentials alone would have qualified him for the presidency.

The GOP - Whigs for the 21st Century. Talk about frightening - I don't think a party has ever been so vapidly empty of any substance….

Shut up you haggly old kroon or I might have to shove a fork in my eye from the insanity of it all. I have never in my life experiences such a ridiculous display of ignorance, immorality and flat out lies. McCain has nothing to offer the American people exept inaccurate slams and accusations against his oponent. Wow what a joke he has become. How terrifying it is to think that people might actually vote for that crusty old goat. Thank God I am not a republican.

Ms. Wilson certainly must have known that Bush Jr. was just plain frightening. Yet that fact did not hinder her blind loyalty to the Bush junta.

What Ms. Wilson forget to mention was her own involvement in the firing of a New Mexico based federal prosecutor.

Ms. Wilson - like Bush and John McBush - is irrelevant.

Obama has NO experience. None. Well unless you count Chicago machine style stolen elections then he has experience at that. Thankfully he has no chance this Nov.

what does experience have to do with making the correct choice for American people? If the experience we've seen for the past 8 years is any indication of what experience is all about then I'm running in 2012. We've seen what experience has done increased gas prices a slumping dollar, trillions more on the nations deficit and our international influence squandered. Not to mention oil companies robbing the country and the citizens in order to increase profits and lies upon lies upon lies from this administration. Where do I begin???? Oh My vote is 4 change!

Well I guess it getting confusing Rep. need to attack Obama for all his deeds instead of doing some thing innovative, he is increasing the playing field for sure and has fore sight, like this trip. I have yet to see any new trick from Rep Hat, apart from fear tricks and attack.

For now at least Obama sure seems to be smarter guy, slowly cutting McCain arguments, like this trip will blunt First Hand foreign exp to large extent, and also he will proof he has created enthusiasm even in Middle East and Europe, and this will help America to negotiate their way as leaders.

Get your thinking Caps on Republican's time is running out

Not sophisticated? Weren't they just slamming him for being an upper-scociety eliteist? Pick a side McCain. Stop flip-flopping

She needs to climb back in the hole she came out of. I guess she is speaking for herself.

Poor thing. She's "unsophisticated" in her approach to rationalizing that someone out of her comfort zone would make decisions for the U.S. Obama has not respoded to the German's newspaper quotes, only U.S. media. She has taken the situation out of context.

What could be scarier than what we've got now…. other than the continuation of now by electing John McCain.

Scare tactics worked in 2004, but truly America has learned its lesson.

If Al Maliki wants us out by 2010, he needs to make more progress on national reconciliation and engagement of different ethnic groups into the structure and fabric of a unified Iraq. If he does not do that, he will be the first casualty of our departure. His government will not survive. That is something that Obama has to consider carefully before he takes his cues from Maliki (or vice versa).

sometimes inexperience is a good thing, I mean I hear all the time how W was inexperienced and we see how good that turned out right? But lets try it again because we need CHANGE(sarcasm).

When is the McClone Campaign, his surrogates and the MSM going to stop bashing Senator Obama. Where are the ideas McClone has for the country? Please I like to hear them. All I hear every day is his criticism of Senator Obama. It is getting nauseating! !! They should be happy that the Americans are being received so warmly overseas, but instead they are spewing hate each time they speak or write about this trip.

If the Maverick John McCain of yesterday could meet face to face with the sell out McCain of today, he would be ashamed of what he has become.

Michael Jackson has "experience" with kids, but I ain't letting him babysit.

Obama 08′

Representative Heather Who????? From New Where????? Oh yes, New Mexico, with its grand total of 5 electoral votes! But again, I ask, Heather Who????? I think maybe nobody's interested and nobody cares what this sandal-clad minion of John McCain thinks.

Hey, McCain, why don't you send Heather to do some diplomacy on the Iraq-Afghanistan border? She'd be perfect for that. (P.S. In case you didn't know, your state, Arizona, actually does have a border with Heather's state, New Mexico. Just thought I would help you get that straight.).

Politics of fear again? What a joke…

Good thing america smartened up since Bush and MOST of americans will not fall for these scare tactics and say anything to get elected….I'm still waiting for a Mccain attack that is true…They are lying right through their teeth while they smile to all of White america and act as if they are telling the truth…it is ridiculous.

Examples of lies 1. "Obama supports an unconditional withdrawal from Iraq" Not true at all…watch any of the 22 debates from the dem primary and you will quickly realize this.
2. "Obama is to blame for high oil prices" that claim made by the mcsame camp is actually HILARIOUS!!

OBAMA 08!!!

Obama supporters are so SPITEFUL - with their shoot the messenger mentality anytime someone has anything NEGATIVE to say about saint Obama.

Calling Rep. Wilson a "saggy-baggy soccer mon" and saying she looks like a man (needs to trim her side-burns)? How immature!!

Obama supporters are a pathetic bunch.

Sounds like the Repubs are up to the same old FEAR tactics that they have been using for years. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

At your work would you rather have a boss who knows the business or one that does not. Think of his door being closed to your ideas.

Look at all the extremely experienced and aged members of our congress; then look at the state of our union. Experience apparently can't make life better for Americans. McCain's been trying for president since I was in high school 20 years ago. He doesn't have a chance. An Obama victory will send a loud and clear message to the Civic generation and the Baby Boomers: Your time is over, and you failed miserably.

Yeah, frightening how much better than the leadership we've had for the last 8 years. Maybe she should go to Iraq/Pakistan border where is that again Oh Yeah in John McCain's head. So much for Foreign Policy experience.

Heather Wilson (R-NM) has no credibility or integrity. She is just one of the Republicans who turned on their own, whined about the pace of the prosecution of a corruption case involving a Democrat, and was instrumental in getting well-respected United States Attorney David Iglesias fired.

McCain's camp is talking the same garbage that Bush, Cheney, & Rove spouted in 2000 and 2004. If you say it enough, the uninformed public will believe it.

Obama never said that he would unconditionally pull troops out of Iraq on a certain date. He has ALWAYS said that conditions on the ground would dictate our troop withdrawals. What he did say was that if the current successes continue, then yes, withdrawal within 16 months is feasible.

and McCain's GWBush experience of diplomacy is a good one?

Experience doing something doesn't mean you have good judgement at it.

McCain has 25 yrs of bad experience/old philosophies that aren't working. Time to try something new… it's the 21st century after all…

HOW DOES WILSON KNOW WHAT WAS SAID. WAS SHE A FLY ON THE WALL OR IS SHE CLARA BOUYANT TRYING TO KEEP THE REPUBLICAN HOPES AFLOAT.

McCain campaign — all negative, all the time!

I suppose that's what a campaign does when all McCain has to offer is Bush's 3rd term.

Senator McCain, either get a new message or hire Karl Rove to manage your campaign. He'd be more effective than Heather Wilson. Of course, such a move would confirm what most of us already suspect — you are seeking Bush's 3rd term.

Ms. Wilson , please go back to knitting quilts!

A McCain staffer slams Obama and uses the famous Republican "bogeyman" fear tactic and this is news…. why? This is an everyday occurrence. McCain's camp is in a panic. They're throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Obama and CNN just parrots them and calls it "news".

Very lazy, CNN. Very lazy. Even by your usual lazy standards.

The country has HAD it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S over, the country want something new, if NEW fails, then so be it, it can't be any worst than the last 8 yrs….

Who is this person, and why does anyone pay attention to her? She needs to go on the road with McCain and be there to correct the mistakes he is making on a daily basis. He has lots of experience, if only he could remember any of it!!!!!!!!

Looked her up. She has absolutely NO, ZERO. ZED, foreign policy experience.

However,her environmental policies are backward:

"Wilson has voted in favor of legislation to make the EPA a cabinet department, to expedite forest thinning projects, and to de-authorize critical habitat designated by the Endangered Species Act.[14] The League of Conservation Voters recently named her to its “Dirty Dozen” list of environmentally irresponsible federal officeholders, citing her support for uranium industry practices that contaminate groundwater, for policies that would allow “unlimited mining waste dumping on public lands,” and for reduced accountablility for mining companies implicated in pollution.[15] Wilson has also been criticized by New Mexico farmers for what they see as her anti-environment stance: she voted against a $58 million dollar fund for voluntary conservation measures in the state.[16] The League of Conservation Voters gave Wilson an “abysmal” rating on its 2003 National Scorecard, rebuking her for taking more than $100,000 in campaign contributions from the Energy Lobby.[17]" wikipedia

The only experience McCain has is how to cheat on your wife and leave her for a younger richer woman. Oh, and to live in a box for 5 years.

Funny, Wilson is accusing Obama of being overly pessimistic and McCain has been accused of being overly optimistic. Obama is accused of being "frighteningly inexperienced" yet our current President's prior experience was: running Harkin Oil into the ground, owning a baseball team, Gov of Texas and a brief military stint in the "champagne" unit. How absurd. I'd say Obama has about as much foreign policy experience as McCain has economic experience.

"The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should. I've got Greenspan's book." - John McCain

How comforting.

"Experienced" people have gotten us in the whole we are in now.

Yep any time the Iraqi's indicate they want us out of the country, Republican shills scream "they did not mean it" or "it was mistranslated, now it is that Obama is "frightenling inexperienced".
Another case where McCrypt has nothing to add in a constructive manner to the message, so attack the messenger. Always and indicator of a desperate situation for the Republican campaign.

This is like the 5th ticker today about McCain or one of his backers attacking Obama on Iraq. Once again I ask the question: Isn't this the week that McCain was supposed to be focused on the Economy?

The republicans are obviously shaking in their boots.

Since McCain is not going to focus on the Economy then maybe he should be working on the homework that the NYT gave him yestarday….please define what "winning" in Iraq is??? The fact that he hasn't answered that questions and refuses to leave Iraq until we "win" is very very "frighteningly ".

Republicans is still at it and at their best - politiics of fear (and unexperience). Politics of fear, they are busted. Now they are peddling "inexperience". Is it an absolute guarantee that experience makes a better judgement? This present administration has been surrounded by people with numerous deep experiences but with no better judgement.

My My! What wisdom! What insight from all the bloggers. Have any of you people ever been outside the confines of America? Try going to some third-world countries and you might understand just how good you have it. Then your comments might be a little better-natured than all this snapping and snarling.

Rasmussen polling has McCain and Obama tied at 46%.
I thought that was the tide I heard turning.

We already experienced that experience of not being experienced and that didn't stick for the last year won't stick now.

Problem with McCain is his experience. McCain doesn't fit anywhere anymore–big deal he was a POW in Vietnam, now he is a POW in politics.

hey, didn't experiance get us this far??????

JC July 22nd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Who is this woman? Noone cares about her. McCain is the clueless warmonger! Iraq wants us out McCain!

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

Maybe she's gonna be McCain's VP choice, heh-heh….

whats sad is if u talk bad about obama not even harshly the comment will be deleted, if i say something bad about mccain lightly or severly it wont. thanks CNN for censorship and infringing on my 1st admendment. and favortism towards obama, thats why i hate the guy. thats why he is frighting.

Barack Rocks and McCain scares me. It is time for fresh new ideas with an inexperienced approach. Obama in '08.

In no way is McSame 'sophisticated' at anything.

I am so sick of all this fear mongering since 9/11. The disgrace of how inept Bush and Mcsame have been at finding Bin Laden and allowing the terrorist to multiple in numbers and spread is what frightens me.

I will be voting based on fear this November and that fear is more of the same. I will be voting because of FEAR of the REPUBLICAN BUSHWACKERS.

When can we all start looking at the many troubles we have and stop bashing each other in this election process?

Obama is truely frightening and his core of supporters even more so. He will probably be elected and we will be on our knees praying for our lives within two years. Start stockpilling the staples NOW.

Obama is no way "sophisticated" enough to handle international affairs? He is "frighteningly inexperienced"? Who could be worse than W? That didn't stop him and his ilk. And Ms. Wilson is reportedly on the short list to become VP and step into the shoes of McCain if he were to be elected (unlikely) and were to be incapacitated (likely) during the next four years? What are her qualifications? I think Sen. Obama's education and experience compare favorably to anyone on the national stage. And he doesn't confuse Iraq and Iran when discussing foreign policy, as McCain did recently. I for one do not think that political experience is either necessary or good; the more experience, the more corruption. If you're very smart, educated, dedicated, and well-mannered, you can succeed. Obama is all those things.

No one cares aboout what this lady says and she needs to zip it

BO for President

Ms. Wilson is just angry that she lost her own senate PRIMARY, even apparently she's frightening to many in her own party

Isn't she the Congresswoman who was brought to tears when describing how horrific it was to watch Janet Jackson's right breast being exposed on National Television during the Super Bowl half time show ? She seems prone to histrionics.

After reading this, all I can say is: "SO?"

After the reading the headline, I thought someone was going to be comparing him to Frankenstein or something. "Frighteningly inexperienced?" Ummmm……is this really a story?

Hypersensitive much?

How dare you call a female elected member of our US Congress a "surrogate to John McCain. " The real "surrogate" in this election has been CNN ! Its overly favorable coverage toward Obama has been journalistically outrageous and recklessly biased.

Basic Search:

………In 2003, Wilson voted against allowing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to negotiate lower drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. …………

__________________________________________________

SENIORS - Like the cost of your drugs? If so, listen to her.

Wright on the Button, Great job Rep. Wilson.

Obama has always been quick to point out faults about everyone of his opponents, but when the shoe is on the other foot he goes with whatever is going to help his campaign. THATS NOT A LEADER.

Bottomline Obama voted against the troop surge in Iraq and said it would not work. DEAD WRONG AGAIN OBAMA

Its working

McCain 08

"A leading surrogate for John McCain called Barack Obama 'frighteningly inexperienced'"
Way to poison the well, CNN.
Now in regards to Obama, the only thing that scares me more than his inexperience is his near fanatical supporters.

Mighty big words for someone who just lost her own primary election…

Call Obama what ever you want.What is clear is the the McCain campaign is struggling for attention.They hard their time after winning the nomination and blew the opportunity.

The problem with the McCain camp has been one of lack of a clear message to articulate be it on the Economy,the War in Iraq and Afghanistan,Energy ,health Care,Women Issues and practically on any issue that is central to the needs of Americans this season.

He shot himself in the foot by conceding that he does not know a lot about the economy.In fact the campaigns mindset was inadvertently revealed last week when his chief economic adviser called Americans WHINNERS for complaining about the current economic hardships they have had to deal with because of the mismanagement of the economy by the very administration Mr. McCain has is a part of.

Mr McCain and his team are the only one who believe that this economy has progressed over the past 8 years and he does not see anything wrong with continuing to spend 2 billion a week for the next 100 years.
This is money that can be used to strengthen this ailing economy.

Americans are just tired of this baseless political attacks are ready for change.

Obama's consistent message of change is catching up and we are ready for a new direction.
The Iraqi's are now saying its time for Americans to start planning to leave but Mr McCain still won't talk about pulling out.

I am SO happy to hear Republicans calling Obama frightening. It's about time they get off their butts and do something for the American people. Maybe a little scare thrown into them will get them working on something, anything. For Republicans to spout off about lack of experience l find pretty funny. We've had almost 8 years of "experience". I'm not seeing how that has helped us very much.

A president does not run the country by his or herself. A good president hires good people, puts them in key positions, and lets them use their experience to do good work. Obama did just that during his campaign, and the mistakes that the Clinton campaign made aside, he beat the Clinton election machine, and broke the Clinton's death grip on the Democratic Party. To me, this demonstrates that Obama is a careful planner, an excellent strategist, and knows how to get good people to work. This is presidential material.

The Republicans and everyone else should remember that Clinton was about Obama's age when he first ran for president. So was Kennedy. Both candidates were considered pretty inexperienced at the time they ran (Kennedy was a junior Senator, and Clinton had been Governor of Arkansas). When taking the measure of a presidential candidate, it's important to keep in mind that what a person can DO for the country is at least as important as what a person has DONE. McCain has done little, and has little promise for the future. Obama has done a great deal on the local level, and his clear, concise, thoughtful way of working will be a breath of fresh air in the stench currently filling the Oval Office.

what is john McSame saying; that the "surge" is now working so we should stay in Iraq indefinitely…………Puh-lease, these republican bigots like to spouts ignorance and lack serious judgement on the way forward in Iraq….

McSame attack but dont provide an alternative solutions…the NY Times is dead on; REJECT THE SMEAR = FEAR CAMPAIGN OF THE REPUBLICAN DEUCEBAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a southern bell for OBAMA wrote:

MCCLUELESS IS AN EXPERIENCED MORON, WARMONGER, IMBECILE, BIGOT, LIER & THIEF.

Don't forget adulterer!

What is so frightening is when that idiot in the White House was elected twice as president and he had no experience whatsoever in politics, but yet the Republicans flocked to the polls just to vote for Stupid Bush. Why he didn't know the names of half of the leaders in the other countries when he was running the first time, but yet people voted for him. McCain is just another carbon copy of Bush who can barely remember what he says. At least Obama was smart enough to realize that the invasion of Iraq would be a huge mistake that would cost people their lives. Any president who invades a country based on "false pretense" is the person we need to be afaid of and not Obama.

Heather Wilson who?

And we should listen to Wilson…why?

What has been frightening the last 7 1/2 years, has been Bush and the GOP. I have never seen our country in such sad shape thanks to people like Heather Wilson and many other Republicians. Vote Democrat all the way.

Can't wait for all the HRC voters to spring over to McCain. CNN is riding a losing donkey that don't know which way to go!!!

Gee!….what a surprise! The Republicans playing the "Fear" card again!

I guess when your candidate has nothing to offer, negative is the way to go.

Fool me once…..

CNN - Your McCain bias is ridiculous. How is this a story? Some republican smears Obama and plays the fear card and it shows up on the ticker. You know how many democratic politicians slam McCain on a daily basis for his ineptitude, flip-flopping and distusting misogyny. Yet, those stories never make it onto your site….

McCain is awesome of foreign policy. He knows the real issues that we face, especially on the Iraq/Pakistan border…which is next to Czechoslovakia. Hahahaha.

Alzheimer's '08

Let face it people, Obama is a better choice for the US president than McCain. I am an independent voter and might consider voting for Mick Romney if he was the rep. candidate, because he will get things done. At this particular moment chosing McCain over Obama will be the greatest mistske the country has ever made. Obama is clever, articulate, focused and will get good things done for all of us but McCain don't have all these qualities. McCain is just NOT the man, period and I am so frighten that he might just win and waste out time for another four years. What a watse people , come on.

Frighteningly inexperienced? That sounds about right…when describing Bubba Bush. Who would have imagined that BB would have run our nation into the ground in 8 short years?

I call someone who graduated from Harvard Law and spent years working on the streets for and with real Americans a thinking American who can get the job done.

I'll take his inexperience over another eight years of horrible foreign policy and running the economy into the ground. McCain's stay the course mentality is good for no one, except his elite filthy rich republican brethren.

Yeah. And I suppose Wilson thinks Bush was qualified to be elected twice, with all his worldly experience, which was, what, going to Europe once? This is a tired, unfounded argument.

I call Wilson's comments frighteningly Rove-like. Nice try, but it's still Obama in a landslide.

she's laughable. Obama '08!

Yet another example that all these Republicans know how to do when they are afraid is manipulate and make up false information, lie to the public and go to war….

yes, we will win in Iraq and bring our combat troops home. The Iraqi need to step up the plate to provide security in Iraq while we back them with our non combat troops. We cannot afford to send US money to Iraq for 100 years like John McCain wants to do.

Lee from FL
- I concur. And don't forget the military draft that will naturally occur due to our endless senseless wars in the middle east once McCain bombs Iran.
- Oh, and the $10B a month spent in Iraq will naturally increase to $50B a month.
- I see China emerging as the world's superpower once we are bankrupt and worn down from the wars - think Soviet Union…

And Heather Wilson is who???

Maybe this lady understand the English language than most. Many of Obama positions are now being embraced by the current administration. Hence after eight years of playing bully.

What is her background? If she was that good she would be a Senator and not a Congresswoman. Everyday the McCain campaign continues one bad joke after another.

The Scary thought is the Maverick is lost in the wilderness.

This lady is right on!! Obama is a moron who will do ANYTHING to get in the White House. This is my biggest concern with Obama, foreign policy. Hillary Clinton proved him to be uninformed during the debates on MANY issues but more so on foreign policy. Obama just doesn't get it. Obviously the liberal left of the Democratic party decided to 'select' the 'black guy' because it was the 'popular' or politically correct thing to do. Not to mention the liberals like Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, etc. want him as their puppet.

Was for Clinton, now for McCain. Can't wait to hear the comments from the Obama-bots, calling me a racist just because I don't support their empty suit candidate.

My garbage collector has as much experience as Nobama as a leader. You think Bush is stubborn, Nobama makes up his mind BEFORE he discusses issues with military leaders, and he with absolutely no military experience! Too bad the dems have to put forth the one with least experience at leading to be the party candidate.

WE ARE AGAIN MAKING THIS PROCESS ABOUT THE WAR IN IRAQI, WHO'S TALKING ABOUT THE CREDIT PROBLEMS,HOUSING MARKET,HIGH GAS PRICES. THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT AND IT'S PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD,MEANWHILE WE HAVE MORE TRUBLE FORECAST THE UNITED STATE FOR YEARS TO COME.HOW DID WE GET HERE?????

STOP TALKING ABOUT HELPING OTHERS UNTIL WE (ALL) ARE ABLE TO HELP OURSELVES. REAL ISSUE THAT HELP AMERICAN NO MORE WAR TALK ENOUGH DO NOT REPEAT 2004..

i love the way you obama zealots think. If anyone criticizes your candidate it has to be caused by stupidity, racism, or ignorance. if they continue to point out your candidates complete lack of judgement,they are to be called names. if they go on after that well then you just make fun of how they look, walk, what they wear, etc. you people are about as mature as an average third grader and a whole lot less respectful of others. you can't spell either.

Seems the Republicans are plenty frightened now. The issue is the Republicans elected a George Bush Yes Man and the country is sick of the inept presidency.

Good Try… NEXT!

Well I guess DubYa had a whole host of experience hunh???

It's funny reading these comments by ignorant, mentally-challenged Socalist Democrats.

Oh Goodness… as usual this is all a distraction from the McCain camp and his cronies- Scare Tactics just like good old George pulled in 2004-because they dont have one thing to say on the economy, foreign policy, education, jobs (WAR is not Foreign Policy), their is something to be said for DIPLOMACY…there is something to be said when powerful foreign countries are rooting for Obama because they want Diplomacy back (I mean Europe & Asia). Remember John McCains top Economic Supervisor buddy saying that we have a mental recession going on- not a real one- its all in our heads people…yea I loved that one… Yet everyone falls in line to the banter back and forth- all John McCain knows is to keep pushing war- not how to fund it, how to make up for our billions- trillions in deficits- not how to fix it- just keep fighting until….until its all peaceful and merry over there- I think he has post traumatic stress syndrome. Being that the Vietnam war was considered a loss- I think he needs to make up for it somehow by having a "Victory" in Iraq! I think we need to respect the country and if they want to take over- then let them!! We have lost enough men over there as it is!! And how can we build up forces in Afghanistan when we have none to put there b/c they are all in Iraq- its just so rediculous all of it!
John McCain has no idea whats coming- he thinks he can keep dragging his heels on this war issue- but when they get face to face, when he gets the debate that he thinks he wants and when Obama makes him look more stupid than he does on his own, Americans will see- there is no HOPE for America with McCain as President!
Just because someone is older doesnt make them anymore qualified for a position. John McCain is a flip flopper- not a Maverick- he doesnt move with the WIND, but with the MONEY- with the LOBBYISTS- with the Right Wing GWB Cronies… He will be the 3rd term of George Bush- and God help us all if thats the case!! We will all be living in boxes watching them drive by in their mercedes… saying isnt life wonderful!!
Obama 2008!

Some of our best presidents were inexperienced….JFK, and FDR for example….you know, the ones who got people excited and got things done. Our worst… Nixon, Truman ect had all manner of experience. I guess it's best to get them while they are still fresh!

She is described in the caption as "a surrogate of john McCain." What the heck does that mean? Anybody know? Who is she?

To the American People

I want to thank everyone who voted for me. Unfortunately I am inexperience and i'm not ready to lead this country. I feel that this job is too tough for me to handle and I'm just not fit to become your Commander in Chief. Don't be upset with me please forgive me for playing games with you. I would like to endorse Hillary as the nominee her and Bill would be able to run this country better than me and Michelle ever could in this lifetime.

Thank you

Too bad the Republican party has only fear to offer. Critical retoric is one thing but failure to offer anything new is another. Don't see leadership from Sen. McCain and his group I just see more of the same President Bush noise.

All Mccain can do is call names and criticize?

How pathetic.

The Republicans really do not know how to approach Obama, as is evidenced by their comments on inexperience.

And McCain's main issue is the surge = he says it worked, but worked to do what. What was the objective?

You are seeing the McCain campaign going into its desperation moves already. See this criticism of Obama for what it is…. a frantic attempt by the Republicans to spin the headlines in their favor when Obama is otherwise commanding the headlines on matters of real substance. I have not heard anything coming out of Obama's trip that leads me to any other conclusion than that he has been absolutely correct in his views all along.

Um..doesn't Bush have 8 years "experience"?
If term limits did not exist, would you want another term of Bush?

What we need is sound judgement and good leadership.

Well its getting close i guess its time folks time for THE FEAR CARD but it aint over yet no telling what the republicans are up too!!!!

my generation knew JFK, he was experienced before the war began in London during the blitz, he also stood up to the Joint Chiefs of Staff when they said go for it now during the Cuban missle crisis, Barack is a nice liberal guy But he is no JFK no matter if Carolyn is in the crew at least Hillary could get the attention of IM A Dinner Jacket, what is
Barack going to do???

I am in agreement if the surge is a sucesss and the surge is working what is victory Mccain define your views and if the surge has work Test it and pull the troop out within 16 months. John Mccain can'nt define sucesss because he is seeing the war from his time when he experience the war which was at a different time. Times has change Mccain we need a current updated view. We need a new Policy which is Obama views.

Frightening? Frightening is their desperation, jealousy, and hatred of Sen Obama.

For the first time in 8 years, i did not cringe when an American leader took world center stage. Unlike McCain/Lieberman, no one had to correct anything Sen Obama said.

The Republicans are really desperate!

If Obama's inexperience is frightening why is he getting a red carpet welcome from leaders around the world (Afghan, Iraq, Jordan, soon in Israel and Europe). i mean come on my felllow Americans, King Abdullah cut his Colorado trip short to be at his palace to recevie our furture president (Mr. President Obama).

And by the way, i thought that Iraq is no longer a war torn country, i thought it is stable now after the so called surge has worked. which one is it Ms. Wison? is Iraq stable or is it war torn?

There is nothing more 'frightening' than continuing with 'more of the same'!

Yawn!!!!! STop whining!!!! Rethugs!!! They don't have any plans of their own. Can't attack Barak's policies, or jugement and can't provide the American people with any ideas or plans….Sounds like desperation to me….CNN keep covering Barak's trip….the McCain camp is literally putting us to sleep…

McCain has the microphone, but he has nothing to say. CNN is committed to giving McCain the kind of attention Obama is getting and all he can do is repeat the same old boring rants in a weak attempt to appeal to the fear and anxieties of the American people.

Wow, she really is out of touch. Who is she anyway? The gop fearmongering machine at work.

Dont' be swayed by the Repbulicans strategy: Attack Obama daily and intstill fear into the American people as much as possible.

FEAR MONGER!

The GOP is grasping at straws now. It would be funny, except for the damage they have wrought on our country already. Thank God America is about to turn the page on the dispicable Republican rule of the last eight years.

What is really frightening is having a Republican in the White House again. January 2009, the end of an ERROR!!!!

Fear is the Republicans only weapon.
It has worked so well in the past. It is time to take the country back from these hypocrites and fearmongers.

This is great. The only way the McCain camp can get some attention is by using the Clinton "kitchen sink" strategy. Mistruths, blatant lies, distortions, even hypocrisy; whatever it takes to distract from the fact that McCain has NO REAL PLAN for Iraq except the status quo. It all reeks of desperation in a campaign that is running out of cards to play.

Yep, inexperienced and I'm willing to bet he'll STILL do a better job.

Is this the same woman than claimed McCain would withdraw troops sooner than 16 months? Talk about holding a finger to the wind. Sounds like Rep. Wilson needs to hold a finger to something else…and keep quiet.

oh please, just another bitter, uninformed right wing republican! no wonder they keep losing, they're clueless, nasty and losers!

FEAR TACTIC.. All these tactics by the McCain campaign are scary.. This is what Bush has done for the last 7 years. Fear Fear Fear… Another GOP = Goofy Old Person/Party speaking on behalf of another GOP Goofy Old Person. Where is the color in your party GOP?

Attack Attack and Attack.. If you have nothing nice to say, well the GOP way is say it anyways, no matter how tall the lies are.

Where in the US Constitution does it state anyone must have experience other than being 35 years of age or older and have been born in The United States to be President????? Would someone in the GOP show me that?

McCain is too old and senile to be president. I would take inexperience over senility any day. At least Obama would push a button and then ask what it is after the nukes have already started flying. Lets wake up America. McCain will start WW3 under his presidency!!!

"It's funny how people are sending millions of dollars to him and they have no idea who he really is."

- I am sending him the money. Don't worry, I can afford it.

I read his books; studied his life, researched his positions, listened to his speeches, and decided I could trust him better than the folks who have power in our government right now.

Does your opinion come from McCain's ad's? Cause they're certainly a great source of background on the issues.

republicans are ridiculous…look at this last message..permanent base in Iraq so we can do combat in iran…is he serious? and then the republicans who are mad we aren't drilling in th gulf…Someone tell these people to do some research and they would realize that drilling off shore now will not help us for 10 years!!! MY GOODNESS HOW MANY TIMES DO THE DEMS HAVE TO SAY THIS??!?!?! Are all the republicans non high school grades who can't think for themselves and believe WHATEVER the mcsame camp will say? I can't stand it…if the country is under republican control for 4 more years…then it will be the beginning of the end for AMERICA!!!

OBAMA 08!!!

Is Rep. Wilson listening? The Iraqi government happens to agree more with Obama's plan. I agree with them.

Did Republican Wilson actually say "sophisticated enough?" Sorry, but wouldn't that be considered elitist & arrogant?

Who is this airhead anyway? Speaking of hearing what you wanna hear…I wonder did she hear her candidate confuse the Pakistan/Afghanistan border with Iraq/Pakistan? Or did she hear her candidate going on and on last week about a country that doesn't even exist anymore? Yeah, I'm sure she conveniently missed that…they need to be for real.

Uh, no. I think Rep. Wilson is hearing what she wants to hear, and nothing else. Typical Rethugnican.

Well said. I loved the article. Truth and Forthright is what I hear. Iraq has been working on a withdrawl with Bush for months and now Obama is going to claim it was him? Not likely. Next thing you know he'll be telling us that he is the one that solved world hunger. I don't think so.

How can Wilson be considered a "leading surrogate" for anyone, especially considering that she failed in her bid for the Republican Senate nomination…

The ONLY thing the McCain campaign is doing is criticizing Obama. Why don't they focus on their platform and what they will do? McCain has lost one of his key stumping points with Obama's trip and that is the fact that he can no longer have the "countdown" of how many days since Obama has been to Iraq. Also, the fact that Obama is being received so well is very scary to McCain.

AH YES, THE OLD "FEAR" TACTIC… well played McSame! Well played… George W. Bush and Karl Rove would be proud.

The only thing I'm frightened of is another 4 years of Republican subjugation.

Wilson who????????????? I guess she is what the Republicans call and expert - so much so, no one has heard of her. Did you see who Bush just appointed as Deputy Chief of Staff, so 20-something former boyfriend of one of the Bush girls. The joke on America just goes on and on.

If Obama is so inexperienced the why are we implementing his idea to move troops from Iraq to Afghanistan? Why are we now, as he suggested and was called an "appeaser" for, opening negotiations with Korea AND Iran? Why does it seem like the entire world supports his candidacy? Why does the Iraqi government seem to support his withdrawal plan?

Obama has consistently stated that we must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in. Translation: He intends to set a timetable to put pressure on the Iraqis, but the pace of withdrawal will depend on the situation on the ground and the advice of the Generals. This is what he has been saying for over a year now.

Warning: There is some idiot on this site today posting fictitious Obama quotes, purportedly from the "Audacity of Hope". Just more of the unethical lying smear campaign. I'm very glad I won't be on the BS Express with these sub-humans. Are you???????????

What exactly does she say the Iraqi government said that Barack Obama didn't hear?

If the Iraqi government said something we should be informed about, why doesn't Heather Wilson say it loud and clear?

instead of informing, she is instilling vague doubt and fear. GOOD BYE Republicans! Thank you very much for all you've done.

The Republicans are squealing like a bunch of stuck pigs.

I guess they realize that the Iraqi government destroyed every one of their Iraq talking points yesterday.

Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb IRAN -

Next is Czcecholsavakia!!!

To the McCain Camp!!!!

Can you SMELLLLLLL what the BARAK is COOKING????!!!!

Wow, I smell fear from the rethugs and the McCan't remember anything all over the place…..they don't have any humility…Their comments and faces are REAKING with jealousy!!! I am literally ROTFLMAO!!!! Can you smellllllllllwhat the Barak is cooking????!!!!

Maybe she and the other Repubs that support McCrazy should move here to Arizona and find out for themselves what a lot of voters here already know.. Obama might be "Frighteningly Inexperienced" but McFlip Flop is just plain "Frightening".. To bad the MSM doesn't take him up on complaints and give him more coverage. Then everyone would finally see that he can't go 1 day without making some kinda Gaffe

Nice sweater set, Heather Wilson. Are you sure you aren't *really* a librarian?

HAHAHAHAH! THIS IS TOO FUNNY

Why are there like almost 5 of the same type of articles on this cnn! surge surge surge….. no timetable…. surge… surge …. no timetable…. surge surge surge….. no timetable…. inexperience…..naive….no timetable…surge surge…..

To funny mccain camp please be innovative, form a thinking process…. create a plan have a mission…. mccain is blowing hot air!! americans are done with hearing about the surge…inexperience and all the jibber jab… we want to know what will and can you do for the our country and improve our image around the world!!! McCain camp is "frighteningly fighting" for a headline!!!! hahaha How about some positivity come out of mccain camp!!

Yes We Can Obama 08

The Republicans are really starting to sound scared themselves. Worried that their candidate is failing miserable to generate interest amongst his base. McCain's surrogates are pathetic.

Barack Obama is exactly who we need for international affairs. The USA needs to realize that the world is looking for new leadership. McCain only offers a continuation of Bush policy. People should think about the positive international perception Obama already has over McCain.

Does the McCain campaign truly want to continue to play the inexperience card when they are about to put Bobby Jindal, who just turned 37 in June, a septuagenariaun's heartbeat away from the Oval Office?

Andy said…
Truth hurts. It was already proven the Al Maliki quote was quoted incorrectly.
_ _ __ _ _ _ _ __ _ __ __ ____ _ __ _ _______ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Um… ACTUALLY, Andy… what was PROVEN, was that Maliki was quoted correctly and in context. AND THEN TWO OF HIS SURROGATES SAID IT IN "ENGLISH" so as to put ANY mis-interpretation to rest.

So, in your case, I do imagine, the truth DOES hurt.

Not "sophisticated" eh? Like the speech-challenged dunce we have in charge right now? Or the sell-out "maverick" who is "sophisticated" enough to not know the difference between Sunni and Shia, or that Czechoslovakia ceased to be a nation years ago?

I'm voting for the intelligent person in this campaign.

Just remember, McCain came in second place behind Bush!

You have this all wrong Wilson if you put McParrot on there instead of Obama and then add senile you will have it correct .

You are voting for McParrot thats a blank slate ,a vp but don't forget to add Lieberman and Graham his elbow puppet men he has to have joined at the hip to remind McParrot of his misspeaking at his TOWN HALLS .

Ha ha, "no way sophisticated enough". She sounds like a hillbilly. If I were speaking for McCain, I'd be careful who I called unsophisticated and unprepared. Who is this woman anyway? she didn't even get her party's nomination to run for Senate. Really high ranking.

McCain is frighteningly experienced. How does bordering on suicide, giving up information right away, and making propaganda films for the Cong, all documented facts, make him a war hero?
Just look at his politcal record, not much beef and he made sure got on a Committee to seal all his POW records.

Look who's calling the kettle black! She just mad because she lost her house seat in a run for the senate which she has also lost. Her husband went to a "camp" to get ungay.
