CNN

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.

How many American soldiers would be alive today if we hadnt waged this unnecesarry war? The price of Republican so called, EXPERIENCE has been paid for with the blood of our loved ones. How many members of their families has Bush lost? Not one.

Ps.
John,
Enough with the Clinton should have, could have crap. Its getting old.

Yeah, Republican experience bungled the war in Afghanistan; left Osma bin Laden still alive and free almost seven years after killing almost 3,000 people on U.S. soil; instituted less than a third of the 9/11 Commision recommendations; got us into a useless war in Iraq over non-existent threats and links to terrorists; and allowed a person like Iran's Achmadinejad to rise to power and influence in the area.

Nice job GOP!!!!!!!!!

See Obamas interivew with abc last night.... seemed a little flustered when asked about being wrong. Obama is telling people what they want to hear and not what is best. When asked about if the commanders in Iraq agreed with his timetable to withdraw troops, he stated " them and I are on different perspectives" well i agree, they are.... They are in IRAQ and know what they are talking about. Obama would rather win the election than win the war. I like Obama, but he has definately slipped in my thought of him as president.

I agree REPUBLICANS ARE VERY SCURRRRRED. THEY ARE SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS HAHAHA

You can't take anything this operative is saying seriously. She still
thinks Bush is doing a fantastic job and we aren't in a recession.

Someone needs to tell Heather she should finish kindergarten prior to giving her useless and hollow advice. Sounds like McCain, lot of hot air, but no meaningfun information to back it up.

Heather Wilson who? Another one looking for their 15 minutes.

John McCain – we (Obama supporters) are not scared of you using the words 'fear, frightenly.'

Oooooooh...Heather Wilson. There's a big name in the world of international politics. I'll bet everyone stops in the middle of what their doing to hear her opinion.

It's not fear-mongering or desperation...it's the truth!

Signed,
A Disappointed Democrat

Here they go again : Fear, hatred, inuendo, fabrications – and exactly what war has John McCain won in his lifetime ? " I know how to win wars" – McMUMBO JUMBO – get informed !

What's frightening is the one trillion dollar price tag on this war at a time when the US is entering a recession.

Like everybody else in America.........Who?

The Republican Party is dead.

So saying he can kill Iranians with cigarettes and "bomb bomb bomb Iran" is not scary?? Lady, you are a MORON!

Okay, if he is so inexperienced, I would like to give him a try–the past "experienced" presidents haven't done much good!!

Another McCain nut case. WILSON, do you hear what the American people are saying and what part don't you understand we want withdrawal. I wonder where Wilson's finger is.

I don't know about everyone, I am getting real tired of the Republican Party being taken over by fascist. Remember that the last real " elected' Republican President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, warned us against the military-industrial complex (aka "fascism")

you want to know what’s really frightening? A senile prsident who continued to confuse things because he’s losing his bearings. McCain keeps getting away with stuff that would have ended Obama's career. Iraq/ Pakistan Boarder, Czechoslovakia, confusing Somalia and Sudan, difference between Sunni and Shia etc. This kinds of gaffs would have ENDED Obama’s chances. A clouded and confused mind is what’s frightening.

Nothing can be more frightnening than another Bush term with McCain as president. How dare she say that Obama isn't listening to the whole of what the Iraqi government was saying — he's hearing what he wanted to hear. How about Bush NOT LISTENING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE DANG WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. TYPICAL REPUBLICAN!! What a bunch of losers!!

OBAMA MAMA '08!!

The Repukes are so sickening. I quess they will say anything now so the needed Media can get their ratings and the Republican non-sense can get some air time.

Totally ridiculous

This is becoming just like McKnowsVeryLittleAboutAnythingOtherThanWar: Old & Tired. These arguments suck.

FYI:

He doesn't know much about war other than surge, surge, and more surge. And getting the names of militant groups wrong, confusing the borders, misspeaking the names of Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan/Pakistan. Not willing to realize that Iraq wants us out sooner rather than later, and not to mention he isn’t too focused on catching Bin Laden and those responsible for 9/11.

Is this all his people know how to do, criticize and not offer any substantive policy proposals of their own. I think it is, because the American people are tired of the same old tired story.

Who cares what this twit from New Nowhere has to say? Never heard of her before today, hope to never read her name again. Once again the Republican party is campaigning on fear.

And what is it called when John McCain refers to the non-existent "Iraq-Pakistan border" (yesterday on GMA) and refers to "Czechoslovakia" in the present tense (just last week more than once) when it hasn't existed for 15 years?

THAT'S frightening. John McCain saying we could be in Iraq for a hundred years is frightening. McCain saying it's "not important" when American troops come home from Iraq is frightening.

This woman is a joke. She needs to go back to kindergarden where she fits in better. She has the look of a school teacher.

And her experience at something other than sucking up to John McCain is what, precisely?

When will the republicans learns that "experience" does not mean that their canidate is right for the job. Americans have had 8 HORRIBLE years of their so-called "Experience" and that is more than enough.

And GWB had soooo much experience when he entered office, that is, owning a baseball team and all. Give the guy a chance, at least he has new and thoughtful ideas. And if he's not that great at it yet, thats why we have 100's of people in politics so that they can help each other out which is what it should be (great minds should think together) not try to bash each other.

I'm so tired of hearing this arguement, and I've yet to meet a Republican who doesn't agree that experience never did use any good.

Obama heard correctly, you are the one trying to twist the prim miniters words and arm so that they lean in your favor. Sham on you, the american people are smarter then that.

Who are you???? I wish they stop beating this issue up? Can we talk about the economy and why the gov't is bailing out Freddie and Fannie Mac when their CEO stands to make $20 million this year in salary????? No answers huh???? I thought so!

I don't know about everyone, I am getting real tired of the Republican Party being taken over by fascist. Remember that the last real, elected, Republican President of the United States warned us against the military-industrial complex (aka "fascism")

Bush. Cheney. Rumsfeld.

Yeah...if that's what 'experience' brings to the table, then my vote is overwhelmingly for 'inexperience' in '08...

Go Obama!

Who is this woman and why should we care about what she says?

Poor GOP..they are so scared they have the fearmongers coming out of the sticks now!!!!!

So McCain declares victory.

Fine, let's leave. Why are the repukes on here saying that Obama is declaring a loss? What??

McCain doesn't have much more presidential experience BTW..I'd vote for a Dem Dogcatcher VS a Repub Senator anyday....

Obama was right about Iraq from the start. Where are the WMDs Mrs. Wilson? Obama was right about Afghanistan. Obama was right about talking to Iran and are other enemies. Obama is right on the environment. Obama wants to give immediate relief to famies at the pump by giving them another stimulus check, not drilling for more oil which in return hurts the environment more. who was right? It's pretty safe to say Obama has plenty of experience and plenty of judgement. Go back to your hole Wilson.

G.W.BUSH DIDN'T LISTEN WHEN HE STARTED ALL OF THIS.
HE HAD NO FORIEGN POLICY EXPERIENCE,DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MOST OF THE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE WHO RAN THEM WHEN HE WAD APPOINTED PRESIDENT.

As they say she hit the "nail on the head". It really is scary to think having someone like Obama as President.......God Help Us!

McCain keeps telling me that he knows how to win wars. Exactly which war did he win again?

Isn't this the same person who sought to have meritless indictments issued against political opponents and subsequently have them fired US attorneys because for refusing to do so? Now, that's really scary.

Think the Republicans are the ones that are scared, and it sure isn't because of Obama's lack of experience. They are scared their wallets may not be as fat as usual. It's time someone had to pay besides the little people.

OK, as opposed to Bush's extensive international experience and deep policy undertstanding when he ran in 2000 (or in 2004 for that matter)

I like the way Republicans continue to play the experience card. Look at the mess that the current President's Experience has gotten us into.

What a loser she is. McCain is some old fogey that fought in one foreign war. Obama is a multiracial, multinational man that has lived abroad and has always had a diverse set of friends and a diverse world view. It is McCain that is inexperienced when it comes to the rest of the world. Sorry, but fighting in Vietnam, while admirable, does not mean you have foreign policy experience. Neither does being GW's lackey.

Inexperienced at not screwing the nation over is good to have.

Frightening and unsophisticated. Dancing very near the line of streotyping Obama's race.

Give me a break! Obama will select the best advisors in the country when he is in office. Is this all the GOP has to throw at him?

That's why we don't want another idiot in the office. Obama is just a version of George W Bush with no judgment and experience!

That really upsets me that this Rep. from Arizona doesn't even know what the Iraqi Prime Minister had even said. The people and their newly formed government wan't U.S. troops out. Please let me know how Obama "heard what he wanted to hear...took a simple message and decided it helped him politically." Is there more meaning to "we can handle our own country"? I guess Obama decided early on, from his "inexperienced career", to politically put himself against a war! Obama voted against it, his record clearly states it, but I guess he is "politically' picking and choosing now! Come one, try again McCain!

While its true that Obama does not have as much experience as McCain-at least he has judgement, knowldege, and common sense! Those are all things that McCain lacks!

Go back to Czechoslovakia.

Barack Obama is frightening! What's more frightening, however, is all of these Kool-Aid drinking, Obama cult robots! Kind of reminds me of Germany during the build-up to WWII...

Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest of the gang were frighteningly experienced, and their judgment was awful. Obama has lived in a part of the world these guys have only flown over, and his judgment has proven to be spot on about places he has only visited briefly.

McCain is the one who is truly frightening with his economic ignorance.

Every Republican who has had ANYTHING to say about Iraq has been WRONG (with the exception of The Surge strategy – but they were totally WRONG about WHY it would work!). I don't believe ANYTHING coming from their lips about The Middle East! Greeted as liberators – WRONG! Cheap war – WRONG! Quick – WRONG! WMDs – WRONG! 9/11 link – WRONG! Dead-enders – WRONG! The Insurgency is on it's last legs – WRONG! Reconstruction will be financed by gas profits – WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

I have had it. Obama '08

So what qualifies anyone to run for president? Is it the way they ran they're campaign? Maybe it's the number of times they voted and the outcome was a positive for the people! Maybe its the decision making abilities they've shown through they're political career?

Short as his experience years wise, Obama is leading in all catogories.. And when you think about it, anyone compared to McCain would be inexperienced if you just look at the number of years... he's like ancient..

And who cares what this lady is saying, she needs to focus on why her canidate continually references nonexistent countries and the differences between the fighting parties in Iraq... Better yet WILSON...HAS MCCAIN ANSWERED THAT VIAGRA QUESTION YET ?

Obama has outright stated that the Constitution would not apply to him (up to 10 years as president?). I know you libs like to say the same thing about Bush, but if any of you are reasonable, you have to admit that anything the SCOTUS has determined to be unconstitutional has been discontinued.

It's nice seeing, though, that this blog is just as infatuated with Obama as the rest of the paparazzi in the media ("surrogate"?)... I was starting to think that CNN might have competent journalists.

And I call John McCain "frighteningly" dumb! Maybe Mr. Mccain should spend some time on the Iraqi and Pakistani border.

Obama's inexperience and a big question about his core values causes me not to support him for President. Three years in the Senate and his years as a "community organizer" and state senate do not make me comfortable with his experience. His twenty year membership in a black liberation church with its "non-negotiable commitment to Africa" and the words of Rev. Wright make me very wary of Obama - to say nothing of my concerns about his wife.

The republicans look mean and silly. The name calling they have done today is also sad. They are a blast from the past.

What is frightening is the MSM letting McCain get away with this war-mongering. Somebody please tell him the Vietnam, oops I mean Iraq war should come to an end.

Now hiring:
Job: US President
Experience: Must be born in the US, with a minimum age of 35.

McCain was not born in the US.

I'm not sure which way to go with this one: Either point out that Obama got Maliki's comments right... and Maliki repeated them a day later through an aid specifically saying timetable OR pointing out that all of McCain's experience can't even help him realize Checkosovakia is not a country, Somalia and the Sudan are different places and IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN ARE DIFFERENT PLACES.

Tough choice.

IS SHE KIDDING?????
First of all, Obama has advocated the same plan for Iraq and Afganistan for the duration of his campaign, and even longer in the case of Iraq. He's certainly not "holding his finger in the wind" to detect the current political climate. How ridiculous.
Second, John McCain has a tough situation on his hands. He refuses to acknowledge that the Iraqi people and their government have expressed a desire for our presence to end. He's take the George W Bush stance of "I'm the decider". Well, here is a news flash for McCain and his supporters – We are NOT the deciders when it comes to how long we can occupy another nation. They are the deciders. So, all of the so-called experience McCain isn't serving him very well in this situation – his experience tells him that we shouldn't leave (even when they want us to). Sounds like more of the same garbage from the current administration.
This lady is completely full of it. They loaded her lips and sent her out to talk nonsense to people.
We've had enough of your fear mongering and insistance that we have a war-loving president! We don't need someone who has more experience shooting a gun – we need someone with more experience using negotiations to reach peaceful solutions.

I cant wait till McCain wins,we will have a permanent base in IRAQ and ill finally be able to do combat in IRAN!
Bombs away!

Just another case of the republicans playing to the lowest common denominator.

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

WHO IS THIS AND WHY DO WE CARE?

Does anyone in the McCain campaign have anything good to say about McCain? All they do is bash Obama.

Heather Wilson's attack on Barack Obama are laughable. The voters in New Mexico rejected her opinions and policies in June, and she is desperately seeking relevance. Her only shot at that is to get her foot in the door in a McCain administration, which is growing less likely by the day.
Heather best be careful what she wishes for, because if she is indeed clinging to the hope that she will have a cabinet position in a fantasy "McCain Administration" she will be subject to a lot of scrutiny she doesn't want or need, and her involvement in the justice department scandal, and personal scandal involving the improper removal of her own husband's Division of Family Services file when she ran that agency.

Wow you guys are really showing your maturity with those comments.

"She is alarmingly frightening to look at."
"LMAO"
"Yawn"
"And I call John McCain 'frighteningly' old!"

And you expect people to take you seriously?

Why is the mainstream media listening to Rep. Heather Wilson, R-New Mexico? Heather Wilson has never been to Iraq or Afghanistan! Heather Wilson has not met with the Prime Ministers of Afghanistan or Iraq!

Why is her comments worth reporting? Because they are controversial?

It is comments from McCain and his surrogates like these that anger me when the McCain camp and conservative journalists throw out Piyush Jindal's name as a VP option for McCain!

If Obama is "frighteningly inexperienced" what does this make Piyush "Bobby" Jindal?!?!

What is this "BUZZ" about experience ?????

Is it not TRUE that " ALL THE BUSH" were VERY VERY EXPERIENCED.

BULL !!!

Monoj

Oh brother. Enough of the hyperbole, McQueeg.

If you want to talk about frightening, how about a notorious hothead who can't keep his countries straight sleeping so close to the nuclear launch button.

McQueeg's the kind of guy who can go ballistic because he ran out of strawberries!

So Bush has been a leader and McCain will be as well? If that is the path they are leading the US down then I think most citizens will say thanks but no thanks...

They can try to throw their dirt to try and make Obama look as dirty as they are, but they are just tossing it in the wind that blows it right back on themselves.

It is over republicans, you messed up and now Obama will start to clean your bloody mess up.

Obama inexperienced? McCain has confused Sunni and Shiite on several occasions, and "mistakenly" claimed (more than once) that Iran supports Al Qaeda!

AND We do not want any more Old Experience in Washington. Circle of Life–Out with the OLD in the NEW. McCain scares me to death!!! I'm 64 and all I see in him is my dead friends from the Vietnam war and my grandchildrens dead friends from the Iraq war. I want some big changes in Washington–Peace is Patriotic and Obama represents hope, intellegence, peace and prosperity!!!!

What is there to be afraid of ????? The president needs the backing of Congress to do anything..................GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heather Wilson is so fake when she tries to blast Obama for having his "finger in the wind ". She is in so much political trouble in New Mexico that she has been doing for the last two years what she accuses Obama of doing now. She barely when re-election in 2006. She will likely lose re-election this year; good riddence!

I'll take my chances on an Obama that has his finger to the wind rather than seriously listening to a Bush lover like Wilson who has her finger up her behind.

These McCain people are laughable. On the one hand they criticize the 46-year old Obama for "lack of experience" yet the McCain campaign is probably going to pick Bobby Jindl, the 37-year old governor of one of the least progressive states, to be his VP. God save us from them all.

I am 70 years old. I think better, know better, and I am more detemined than ever. So, it's true that John McCain is old. But it's also true that Obama is a fool, knows nothing, has no values, wants to raise taxes, put government in charge of controlling every single company, in short, he wants to destroy America as we know it.

So, what do you all want? A loyal American who is old, or a young subversive who wants to take away your liberty and make you poor to give your money to foreign countries and to those who don't want to work, or don't know how?

The funny thing is that John McCain is frighteningly stupid. He has made mistakes after mistakes in this campaign. He has absolutely no diplomacy. He has done pretty much exactly the same thing as George W. Bush has done. Bomb, bomb Iran? Frighteningly stupid man. He demanded Obama to go to the mid-east, and now he is putting that down. How much more stupid can he get.

We definitely do not need another STUPID President. WE need someone who is intelligent and educated in there. You can never teach old dogs new tricks. Folks leave this old dog behind! Time for a change!

I'm far more frightened of John McCain. He's supposed to have all this experience, but he doesn't seem to have learned anything in the process. We've had 7+ years of a President who is unwilling to learn new things and look at where that has gotten us.

They hate that Obama gets Sooo much news coverage.... yeah.... well so do I... but hey.... Say something that excites americans & not try & bring down someone else & i'm sure you'll get it..

-V

Heather .. as per your comments - there are over 4000 American heroes who would like to reply to your rants - but unfortunately they are dead -

Maybe experience is not the whole equation - maybe ... just maybe ... we need some new ideas - not the same old bulls**t from Bush and McCain - this is not a matter of "winning a war" ... but you and the GOP do not understand that

Hope you get to retire in November ... you are obviously out of your league in Congress

What exactly all of this "experience" that ancient John is suppose to have? Please, list the exact experience with bullet points.

Spending 20+ years in the Senate with extremely little to show for it? Is THAT the "experience" that Republicans are crowing about? Sorry, but as much as I respect what he endured in Viet Nam, spending time in a tiger cage has nothing to do with being the Commander in Chief.

Yes, Obama is inexperienced. But guess what...McCain has led nothing but the rush to bail on his ill wife while cheating with a rodeo queen.

Another Cackling Christian Coalition REP

Oh poor rebublicans, they want to go down in Guiness book of World Records with the election of someone older than Methusaleh, in the bible and more airhead than Cindy Snow from 3's Company.

McCain has no more experience than Obama, and if you ask me its frightening to hear him say that Soldiers dont come home unless the war is won. I say to that, here is a man who was so inexperienced he got shot down (unfortunately) but fortunate to have his life, and come home from the war in Vietnam that was certainly not won!! Yet he wants our brothers and sisters in the military to continue laying down their lives just to save face for the republicans who got us into the war?

To me people that makes no sense what so-ever.

We had 8 years of very experienced politicians and look at what that proved for our economy, foreign affairs and the rest of the government. I am sure anybody can do the job now.

She's Right

Hillary 08!

I love the new headline on CNN. McCain steps up attacks. Thats right, don't bother to inform us on how you would fix the problems of this country, just keep attacking everything Obama says and does. No need for a solid plan as long as you can keep slinging the mud.

Isn't McCain's tying of the violence reduction solely to the surge an oversimplification for his political purposes?

keep it coming,,,

obama 08

Obama's strategy comes down to rainbows, happy thoughts and dafodils. Nothing more. He hears what he want's with no context, no words surrounding those other words, and runs with it...Very similar to bush/cheney. NO wonder I'm not voting for him.

Change without substance is status quo....No to O.

Republicans are frighteningly separate. They have just become a party of whinners. They whine and complain about obama, the media coverage etc... all day along.

The Republicans who want to "WIN" this war so badly, need to realize that sometimes Retreat is the better, more intelligent part of valor.

Obama supporters want change and so Obama keeps changing his tune. Don't trust him!

It is scary, Obama's friends are not that desirable. Staying in a hate filled church for 20 years and giving money to the church shows what he thinks about America. The pictures that the media puts out always show him looking towards the heavens. There is something wrong with that and a bit scary.

Heather Wilson.

The same politician who led a crusade against the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction while we had our brave men and women dying in Iraq for our leaders' illegal occupation.

The same politician who decided that a breast was more damaging to Americans than the multiple caskets coming home from Iraq.

The same politician who decried a brief shot of nudity while images of maimed people crossed our television screens.

And now she's telling us how to vote?

Based on her previous judgments, she just gave us another reason to vote for Obama in November.

He is frightening. So many of us feel this way and the media just overlooks us. I think there are more against him than for him. The media is overplaying him way too much!

"I mean he is frighteningly inexperienced when it comes to international affairs and national security policy," she added. "And he heard what he wanted to hear from the Iraqi government, without any context around it, and took that simple message and decided it helped him politically. That's the antitheses of what we should expect from a president of the United States"

I'm confused: Reading this immediately brings to mind G.W. (Gutless Wonder) Bush.

I'd say that these attributions by Heather Wilson are about the stupidist things I could imagine coming out of her mouth, but I won't. Because I know she open her mouth again.

Let the truth be told, we are paying the warring factions in Iraq of Sunnis, Shiites, and Sadr militias they did not just stand down for nothing, so their infighting (civil war) is on hold and that makes the surge look good. Take away the dollars and the surge will look like a joke.

Are these people seeing the same reality we are? This person is criticizing Obama for thinking al-Maliki supported his withdrawal plan and saying Obama only heard what he wanted to hear. Are you serious? That's exactly what al-Maliki did! Obama's finger is in the wind? He's the one leading by giving us defined plans for every problem we face. All McCain can do is criticize everything Obama does without giving any details of his own plans. This person is clearly not sane enough to be holding office and should be recalled since she keeps accusing Obama of the exact same things McCain is doing.

She also forgets that Lincoln had the same experience that Obama does, and he turned out just fine. Truman also had no foreign policy experience and was deliberately kept in the dark by FDR, and yet he guided us through the end of WWII, the beginning of the Cold War and establishing our policy of containment (which worked incredibly well), the Marshall Plan, the creation of Israel and the United Nations. So much for a lack of experience hurting someone.

There is underlying code all over these statements.

Talk about frightening – look at that hair, that dress

Frightening is only one of the candidates knows the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni, and it ain't Senator Lumpy Face

The Republicans love to use scare tatics. I for one can not wait to have someone intelligent lead our country. Today I found out John McCain graduated 894 out of 899. Another ignorant president. I don't think so. No wonder he makes so many gaffs!

boy whats funny is they keep calling Obama inexperienced yet Bush follows Obama's Iranian diplomacy, the PM of Iraq follows Obama's exit plan, McCain follows Obama's Afghan policy...hmmmmmm, i would rather have that kind of inexperience than the many years of bad experience from a man who in his "expertise" thinks Iran trains al Qaeda, that the boarder of Iraq is Pakistan and does not know about the economy or what he voted on regarding birth control...
other than his constant crying about the media( his base) and attacking Obama what DOES Mccain have to say?......just what i thought, NOTHING

Jeesh, these people get nastier and uglier the more things go President Obama's way. Oh well.
At lease I know who FOX news will be giving air time to come January!

More desperation from the McCain camp...and more non-news from the press.

its frightening how scared the republicans seem to be of barack obama, this seems to be a one sided fight in which the republicans are bashing him while barack is just doing what he should be doing, campaigning to win the election. obama 08'!

Scared of somebody who has sound judgement on foreign policy? Scared of somebody with a sensible energy policy?
Scared of somebody who has a decent grasp of even BASIC geography?

Instead of McCain using this time to campaign, he is using it to criticize Sen. Obama.
First, he was on his head for Sen. Obama to go to Iraq, he even offered to go chapperone, then when he learned that he was going on without him, he cirticized him for going. Counting down the days since Sen. Obama had been there, now he is counting down the days for him to get back. Hurry back Sen. Obama, the McCain group is missing You!

Obama "08

The Republicans keep talking about the lack of experience that Obama has, but don't want to acknowledge the fact that he makes up for it with GOOD JUDGEMENT.

"Experience" can be a great thing, but if you still don't make good choices (or policies, etc.) it doesn't really count for much. In fact, it should be telling that DESPITE all his experience, John McCain's policies, actions, and statements are as off-the-mark as they are. All his experience has him confused between Sunni and Shia, and looking for the Iraq/ Pakistan border (I think its near Checkosolovakia). Sure, Obama has a lot to learn, but face it, he's starting off in a much better position than your average politician...

Go Obama!

Here we go again "Lets scare the American People"
At least Obama has a plan to get us out of Iraq. What does McOld have???? The only thing McOld talks about is the surge..earth to McOld the surge is OVER!!!!
As for the soldiers coming home with honor. They have been coming home for years and going back and they do have honor.
Come up with something better.. this is getting old.

She looks like she was beaten with the ugly stick, but she is right on the money.

I might be concerned if this was a person of any type of relevance. As it is GOP and relevance do not fit in the same sentence!

I have to agree with Rep. Wilson on this one – Obama is "frighteningly inexperienced." Becoming president, especially during war time, is no learn-on-the job position – he needs more time in the Senate or a stint as a governor to gain the political skills required for the office.

Basic Search:

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

__________________________________________________

This and the fact she did NOT return money to a PAC with a bad bad bad reputation.

Look her up. SENIORS – Like the cost of your drugs? If so, listen to her.

If it were "up to Obama" we never would have had the surge, says McCain.

If it were up to Obama, we never would have been there to begin with.

McCain has become McWhinner!!!!!!

Too bad you weren't say the same thing about George Bush eight years ago. Even after four years of sitting in the office, he still can't get it right.

This lady is deaf, dumb and blind ! now they want to tell us what the iraqi government obviously said in McCain twisted point of view. so who to believe the iraqi people and what they actually said or you. if john McCain has to resort to this type of political spin and essentially calling everyone to be stupid in the understanding of the obvious, he is more like Bush in governing then what we had already learned.

I am so disappointed in CNN this year!! Every guy that wants to say something against Obama gets a headline this year!!
I had thought CNN gave us the balanced truth, but it goes on and on. This morning it was that blacks shouldn't vote for Obama, according to "some folks", whoever they all are.
If I ever had any doubt, it's Obama for me. I feel we need to counter all the sick press (from some folks!) and gert on with it.

Go Obama

And none of Obama's "inexperienced" ideas are working? Pulling out of Iraq, stepping up military presence in Afghanistan and the initiation of worldwide diplomacy after 7-1/2 years–yes, that definitely shows a candidate with no international affairs experience.

McCain needs to stop his lies and childish behavior. I think most Americans are sick to death of it.

Obama 08

For Republicans , Obama is :

frighteningly different
frighteningly Dynamic
frighteningly Smart
frighteningly Outstanding

And ..in a
frighteningly Winning Position.

What do Republicans do now....Ah...what they are best at.

frighten people.....

It is notable that Heather Wilson (R-NM) lost her bid in the Republican primary for retiring Senator Pete Domenici's seat, and has nearly lost
every election for her house seat since she was elected. Furthermore since the Iraq fiasco started she has distanced herself from President Bush's policy on Iraq, and continually speaks with forked tongue.Is
her opinion meaningful? Hardly.

Truth hurts. It was already proven the Al Maliki quote was quoted incorrectly. Funny thing is watch how this woman is pilloried by Obama's presstitutes. The headlines already quoted this woman inccorectly.

Who?

Wouldn't you know it The big bad republicans are up in arms so back to their usual mode [SEND A FEMALE OUT TO DO THEIR EYE SCRATCHING] NO wonder right wing woman are so fruastrated and uncared for.. Maybe if these cowards would stand up and fight for themselves theyn would get a little respect [Very little]

It's remarkable that Heather Wilson and her cronies were not concerned with the frightening realities of the Bush administration. The Republicans are scared of losing control of the White House. God knows, it's way overdue. This country has suffered through 8 years of hell in every way possible. The only thing they have to offer in 2008 is more scare tactics.

My mind is blown by the advanced nature of logical arguments made in comments on this forum. I like Obama but will not vote for him this time because of his lack of experience, no matter what rainbows of change he promises to adorn our landscapes with.

I do have to agree with Olive Oil... NObama!

Yeah, frightening how much better than the GOP leadership we've had and have to chose from!!

I checked out Rep. Wilson's website to see what her bona fides were to give her the authority to claim Obama is, "frighteningly inexperienced when it comes to international affairs and national security policy," and did not see much there. Are Republicans just going to come out of the woodwork to proclaim inexperience like Hillary and repeat, "the surge worked, the surge worked," like Giuliani kept talking about 9/11 thinking it would guarantee the presidency? In case McCain is not aware, the repetitive proclomations and claims of inexperience did not work too well for Giuliani/Hillary.

It is truly pathetic how little material McCain has that this same story is repeated five times on the CNN ticker. I guess the media is afraid of McCain throwing a fit about how they are being unfair so they balance every story about Obama with the same story for McCain that is uttered by varying supporters. Do the Republicans really think the voters are that dumb? I am hoping most people finally learned their lesson after 8 years of Bush.

How does this person know what Obama thinks?
He hasn't been doing that much talking lately.

Obama's "frightening inexperience" is quickly being erased by his intelligence and foresight to visit the world's hotspots for a first hand, up-to-the-minute status report, just like any competent CEO or commander-in-chief should do.

The only people in the country that are frightened are McCain's campaign and his dwindling horde of Republican followers...as well they should be. There is going to be shock and awe in November, and the rumble of an Obama landslide.

So all you libs and coolaid drinkers would rather have an experienced commander and chief. Please read history to find out what happens when an experienced person leads a country. OB lacks total common sense.

Not this time...fear will not work this time. Fool me once, but not this time.

Obama/08

They're grasping at straws...anything to discredit the strides Obama is making on his trip to Iraq and the Middle East. But it's not working! McBush and his gang of thugs can't derail the change that's coming.

"And he heard what he wanted to hear from the Iraqi government, without any context around it, and took that simple message and decided it helped him politically. "

WHAT????

WASN'T IT THE MEDIA WHO PICKED UP ON WHAT THE IRAQI GOVERMENT SAID?? OBAMA NEVER EVEN BROUGHT IT UP IN THEIR MEETING...

(fear and smear at its finest).... AGAIN... it's all they have....

History should tell us that experience does not make for a great president. Critics had the same to say of FDR, Lincoln and Kennedy.

If experience made for great presidents, why don't the Republicans simply pick the oldest senator as their nominee every time?

Because we all know that experience is but a small part of what makes a president great. Not having experience doesn't mean a whole lot. Character, vision and a willingness to work does matter.

We need new ideas and Obama has them.

Obama 2008

Never send a lightweight out to do a heavyweight job.

Obama IS frighteningly inexperienced. He has come out of nowhere and, barely served a term in the senate...and now you want to give him keys to the White House? I cannot understand why so many people are willing to overlook his inexperience. It's like moving from entry level to CEO all at once. That never leads to success...sorry!

Wow, McCain sure is running a positive campaign. Sounds like the core group he surrounded himself with is coming up with some great ideas.

"Hey, I got an idea, lets try to scare the nation into thinking that Obama isn't qualified. Since John doesn't have anything to add to a subject other than I was for the surge, we will paint Obama as an inexperienced, dangerous person. It worked in 00' and 04'!"

Oh, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal as McCain's VP would show Obama up big time. He is younger and more experienced! Jindal is an energetic, substantive man of action who will get things done!

I'll tell you who's inexperienced... John McSame. Once again, he gaffed on which country is next to Pakistan. Sorry, John, Iraq is not next to Pakistan.

At least Obama's position is more in line with the Iraq gov't. McSame doesn't care what the Iraqis say...because he believes them to be a territory of the US instead of a soverign nation.

People, don't be fooled. The inxperienced one has the big "R" next to his name.

Another Village Idiot for Mccain he has countless on standby,

McCain is the one that is scary. He wants to drain our economy so that we can have "victory" in Iraq. What does that mean? He has no clue economically, his number one economic advosor thinks we are all imagining that we can't pay our bills. McCain's only solution to lower pay and rising costs is to dump your current spouse and marry someone with 100 million dollars. If only it were that easy.

What a horribly misleading headline. The Republican did NOT say Obama was "frightening", but spoke the truth that he is "frighteningly inexperienced."

So i guess The American People are "frighteningly inexperienced" too because they want the war to end too. When will this government listen to the people instead of what their egos and reputation tells them. The American People want out of Iraq and nothing McBush and his clones can say to change THAT FACT!

Actually, it is the republican party that likes to take comments out of context and choose short statements that may benefit them politically.

Anyone and everyone that saw the interview and saw the direct statements know exactly what al-Maliki was saying. Not only was it in a German newspaper, but it was reported in many other global sources.

Wake up America, CNN does not have to be your only source of world news. There are many great news sources available from around the globe that does not have American bias stamped in it.

Inexperienced? Isnt that what advisers are for? They need to give this a rest.

"He is no way sophisticated enough" Are you serious? This is definitely a debate that Obama welcomes anytime!

WHY WILL CNN NOT REPORT THE COMPLETE STORY?! (HUFFINGTONPOST HAS IT!)

The McCain campaign has come up with an intriguing new way to sell his opposition to a timetable for withdrawal: McCain just might withdraw from Iraq sooner than Obama's 16 month deadline!

"He'd like troops to come home earlier than 16 months if the conditions allow it," said Congresswoman Heather Wilson of New Mexico, on a conference call with reporters just now. "Senator Obama has said it's a 16-month timeline no matter what."

Wilson walked this line back a bit later on, reminding people that any such withdrawal would have to be based on conditions on the ground, and might take longer: "Whether that happens in 12 months, or 16 months, or 24 months, the important thing is that our troops come home with victory

So inexperienced that the WH is taking every cue from him over the last month.

Obama has caused gas prices to go up and created global warming.

Let's stick with the party that knows how to attack and invade.

Stay the Course!

McCain 08

Wow, I do see that old folks in politics do stick together. I don't even believe Rep. Wilson has a solution for this war. OBAMA 08!

I watched Obama on Nightline last night, his interview about his trip to Iraq and everything he was questioned about he backed out of what he had previously stated and put a different spin on it to explain away the difference in his statements. He is just another politician (inexperienced at that) saying whatever he thinks will put him ahead. And the media never picks up on his flip flopping...because they have crowned him president and that's the end of that...people better be careful what they wish for...might blow up in their faces. No Obama as far as I am concerned.

This guy is even piecing/editing together his own over seas press confrences and scripts only what he wants to be projected, As time goes on we will see and hear more and more of his underhandedness. He's no differant thatn the Clintons.

She is right on target. Someone with this little experience should not be running for President. He has already changed his position on almost every issue he spoke so strongly about during the primaries. In the future, I hope we have new laws requiring those running for President to have a certain level of experience. He should have waited but was too power hungry and he will lose in November!

It is sad to see the only thing left for McWar and his campaign to do is to criticize Obama, your tactics will not work this year, McCain is frighteningly old and is not fit for anything.

Obama 08

Inexperienced or not, I do not believe he could screw up this Nation more than 7 plus years of Bush have done. At least, he has the sense to recognize unnecessary wars, mismanagement, lies, near criminal activity, and so on. What Bush and his partners in the White House have done TO this nation is mind boggling. At any other time, he would have long ago been in the impeachment docks and out of office. The man has been a total disaster for this great Nation.

And characterizing the improvements in Iraq solely as the consequence of the SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE – that's not a gross simplification for political expediency?

Why is the media not pressing McCain to answer questions about the role of the SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, in the context of other contributing factors?

Desperation breeds contempt!!!! We see right through you repub/conservative scumbags!!!! Obama '08

Don't believe these republicans they are gonna beat this horse to death...why because Mccain has no new or innovative ideas of his own to talk about. Did I see a story saying that Mccain has an add out blaming Obama for high gas prices? How on earth is he at fault for the gas prices? Mccain you don't make any sense!!! Oh and I guess if Obama would support new off shore drilling that would bring th prices down....oh yea that's right...that wouldn't affect us for 10 years!!

He can't even focus on himself or his own policies because he has none...besides stay in Iraq forever and never change policy. They are also scared of the fact that Obama's 16 month withdrawal plan fits perfectly into what PM Al-maliki would like to see happen. Doesn't Mccain get it...the more he blasts Obamas new ideas the more he looks like Mcbush. I cannot stand these republicans....

OBAMA FOR PREZ!!!

Dear Republican Party –

we the people are not falling for the scare tactics that were so successful the last 2 presidential elections, try something else, like maybe focusing on what your candidate actually has to offer.

tired of the shenanigans and fear-mongering,

future Obama voter

I can't disagree more with Rep. Wilson. He just wants to go with the flow and does not want to take touch stand on any issue. Media save him one(against hillary), can't save you twice!!

Even I'm scared of the thought of Obama becoming president.

Wow the Republicans are in rare form now. LMAO! I love watching them attempt at squelching Obama's media frenzy b/c they have NOTHING and the Iraqi's agree with Obama and want the war-mongers out.

Obama '08

Well...wow...unsophisticated? Really? Those words coming from her. Someone please pull out her record and tell me what qualifies her as the judge of sophistication. Rep. Wilson continues to exemplify the racist Southwest. Thanks for banging that point home.

We see where republican sophistication has gotten us over the course of 8 years. Thousands of dead young Americans, close to $5 gas and people packed into homes with the families because they lost their homes.

McOld has another glitch in his message, which I hope Obama picks up on soon. McOld keeps keeps saying the surge has worked. If it has worked, than why can't our troops come home? A true victory means the war is over, and our troops can come home. Why does McOld want to keep the troops over there? So that it can continue to appear that we have victory. As soon as our troops come home, things will go crazy over there. So again, how long does McOld want to keep our troops over there. I think he said 100 years.

I LOVE HOW THEY MADE IT SEEM AS IF OBAMA SAID THAT THE IRAQI PM SUPPORTED HIM – EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A QUOTE FROM A GERMAN NEWSPAPER – THEY CONTINUE TO TRY TO MAKE OBAMA LOOK ARROGANT AND/OR DUMB – HE ISN'T SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH? PLEASE........GIVE IT UP PEOPLE...NO ONE – DEM OR REPUB CAN REALLY KNOW WHEN WE WILL GET OUT OF IRAQ AND HOW WELL IT WILL WORK – WE DO KNOW THAT BUSH GOT US INTO THIS MESS

OBAMA 08!

NO,ONE HAD GEORGE W BUSH EXPERIENCE, [ENOUGH SAID
TOTAL [TESTS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES, [CIVIL SERVICE ] MENTAL & PHYSICAL] INCOMPENTENCE IS ] LOOK AT PAULSON CONDO RICE, RIDGE & CHERTOFF, WOLOWITZ,
MCCAIN WAS IN LINCOLN SAVINGS & LOAN OR KEATING 5
NEED TO DO BACK GROUND CHECKS

If Wilson feels Senator Obama is so inexperienced maybe she should tell the White House to stop implementing his suggestions and come up with some solutions of their own. Oh, that's right the policies that he expressed and Bush copied are working and for the first time in his 7 plus years he's experiencing foreign policy success.

So Barack Obama spends the entire primary season promoting a withdrawal plan that is now being endorsed by the Iraqi Prime Minister and he is accused of "not leading"? Obama has proven time and time again to have the proper foresight and judgment when it comes to US foreign policy decisions. McCain and his cronies can try to scare the American public into voting for more of the same when it comes to our failed foreign policy, but I honestly don't think it will work this time.

I read CNN news all the time and I have to admit my interest on this election campaign has increased. This is the first time I am commenting on any news article.

As an objective person I have seen that Sen. McCain has been attacking on anything Sen. Obama says. I thought Obama gave a very good press conference regarding his visit to Iraq. Still McCain and his camp are twisting words and trying to blind sight american public. I find that very sad and desperate move.

I cannot vote, however, I will admit that if I had a choice Sen. Obama would be the one.

-Indepenant and Objective Person, Nepal.

What the Republicans fail to acknowledge is that McCain is just as inexperienced in terms of leadership as Obama. I think it's despicable that they start resorting to Wille Horton type scare tactics already. And frankly, just because someone is inexperienced (if it were true) does not mean they are any more likely to make poor decisions. But Wilson is simply spouting the party line to try and get their candidate into office. As a New Mexican, I've always been ashamed that our only female representative is so incapable of independent thought. It reflects poorly on us (New Mexicans as well as women).

This becoming nauseating to say the least

Isn't it a little early in the campaign for McCain to be throwing so much dirt? I think it shows that he cannot articulate his own policies, he can only trash Obama's.

Tell mother superior to go back to school and learn what sophistication means.

Basic Search:

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

Look her up. SENIORS – Like the cost of your drugs? If so, listen to her.

George Bush was frighteningly inexperienced and still is after 8 years!!

This lady is not listening to the Iraqi gov. These republicans think everybody is stupid like them. The people who attacked us are not in Iraq dummies.

Discredit and defame is all they're trying to do. It wont work! The US has spoken it's all about OBAMA. O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!

Frightening only if you're a die-hard Republican...

And who is the unknown person? CNN you are not being biased at all. I have monitored your tickers and comments for some time now and noticed that your abstracts often take jabs at Obama. In your wording you never give him credit for accomplishing much of anything. He is always attempting to do something. Similar to your earlier comments of whether he is hurting the african american community "Could an Obama Victory Hurt Black America?". We're on to you and your suggestive abstracts. I thougth Fox was the Spin network.

The Republicans are parsing words. We all heard what The Iraqi Prime Minister said and Obama interpretation is accurate. McCain is not going win new converts by repeating the same inaccurate accusations against Obama over and over again. The American people are not as easily fooled as in the past by simple repetition of lies.

Shes right! HILLARY FOR VP OR HILLARY 2012

Rep Wilson
The only thing that we to fear is you.

And what is your point? George Bush has screwed this country so bad that even my dog could do a better job! McCain and crew spend more time attacking Obama then they do tackling issues.

Here we go again. Barack said they were going to make you afraid of him. I hope that this rhetoric is taken for what it is, fearmongering.

Fear monger!

Iraq/Pakistan border?!?!? I think stuff like that coming out of John McCain's mouth is frighteningly stupid. He should really take a geography lesson.

See what I mean! Scary. Voting for Cynthia McKinney is the best way to keep America safe.. McCain and Obama are DANGEROUS. People, vote smart, vote liberal, vote McKinney/Clemente 08

All the so-called "experienced" leaders are the morons that led us to the debacles of Vietnam and Iraq. Remember, Obama spoke out clearly against the Iraq invasion–that is the judgement we need now.

There's that typical fear mongering the Republicans are so good at. They are running so scared of Obama, it's 'frightening" What the Obama supporters find frightenting is McSame age. Now THAT'S frightening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO WE SHOULD BE SCARED OF HIM........... AND SAFE WITH MCCAIN....... O.............K........... SO JOKING ABOUT BOMBING ANOTHER COUNTRY SURE DOES SOUND LIKE EXPERIENCE TO ME............MCCAIN IS "frighteningly" OUT OF TOUCH.........

BARACK THE VOTE PEOPLE.

Iraq/Pakistan border?!?!? I think stuff like that coming out of John McCain's mouth is frighteningly stupid. He should really take a geography lesson.

Please tell me all

was Kennedy more experienced when he became president at age 44?

just curious and uninformed. I know he commanded a PT boat in the war. what else?

Thanks.

cnn,attack piece on obama all day,what to balance the "media bias" huh?mccain is just a jealous old man.i will be voting democrat this year after being a repub for 30years.mccain can take that to the bank.

They only thing the GOP has to offer is fear.

"Rep. Wilson calls Obama 'frighteningly inexperienced'"

In other words, in a blinding flash of the obvious, Rep Wilson calls water "wet."

MCCAIN IS OLD OUT OF TOUCH AND INCOMPETENT. CAN THIS GUY TIE HIS OWN SHOE.

OBAMA.......08

Right!

Obama is an arrogant, obfuscating, power-hungry, egomaniac with a single priority of political expediency. He has no core principles, no moral center and no judgment.

He was against the surge but won't admit he was wrong even when he now sees its success!

He is against drilling... even though the country and economists are for it...!

Let the slobbering media have their American Idol. Let him join the ridiculous talking heads!

But, vote for the American hero, Senator John McCain!

Spin, spin, spin. Anything to avoid the realities of the situation, Sen. McCain? We are not an imperialistic nation. To remain in Iraq when they don't want us because of a paternalistic "we know better than you" attitude is an occupation!

THE MCSAME TEAM JUST KEEPS SHOVING OUT PATHETIC ATTEMPTS TO TAKE DOWN OBAMA. HOW SAD!!

McCain is a warmonger, and so are his cronies. Without the war they have nothing to discuss since they think the economy is doing fine.

I'm confident that Rep. Wilson cast her vote for GW Bush the first time, despite him having even less international (or even national) experience than Obama has.

Hypocrites.

The repugs are either frightened or trying to frighten. How sad they are. Like sacred little children who want company.

and what does she know? just repeating the same ignorance that the fluke mc c is saying without telling the american people how is he going to solve the other more important issues of the day?....like HOW IS HE GOING to pay for the wars he wants to get in?

ask Ms. Wilson to tellus WHAT WARS has mc c has won as he said it the other day, WON? what a freaking LIE

yes, Senator Obama is a bit on the inexperienced side of things. I think another term or two in the Senate and he will probably be just fine.

Example: Weekend tour of the middle east and he makes the comment to deploy another 7,000 troops... really now, this is how you make your decision, in about 48 hours, huh..

One more "surrogate". Better use the inexperience BS because no one is listening to our platform. Let's see...a choice of inexperience...or a choice of flat out ignorance? Which do I choose?

WOW CNN another McCain surrogate attacks Obama and it gets ANOTHER headline. OH yeah, and apparantley all the experience McCain has leads him to believe Czechoslovakia still exists and Pakistan and Iraq share a border. LOL I will take the "inexperienced" person who seems to be right on the issues and has a basic understanding of geography any day ,rather than the aged mind of a warmonger.

Name calling, wont change the fact that Obama was right. They want us to leave their country. How much context do you need!!!

I mean I am really really proud that the first African American nominee, is only half black, plays the race card and did not advance on his own merits.

I am so proud of the skillful exploitation of reverse-racism.

Please give me a break what can a man 72 years old give us ....hasn't he tired enough ..if he couldn't beat Bush when he ran. We need new ideas and yes Iraq needs to stand up we don't need our troops dieding try to teach them to stand up...

Who cares? So far, all of McBush's surrogates have been war mongering clowns.

ALL OF THE MCCLUELESS EXPERIENCE, IS PRECISELY

WHAT WE DON'T NEED. THE LOCAL DOG CATCHER

WOULD MAKE A BETTER US PRESIDENT THAN MCMORON.

HE SPENT A WHOLE WEEK ON THE NONEXISTENT ISSUES

OF A NONEXISTENT NATION. HE MAKES GEORGE LOOK GOOD.

What’s frightening is a man who doesn’t have the stamina to campaign on the weekends might be in charge of the red phone at 3 am – God forbid.

I've been an oil man all my life, but this is one emergency we can't drill our way out of. - Legendary Texas Oilman, T. Boone Pickens

These are the parroted failed policies of Dumbya that McSame wants to continue...

So I say "WHATEVER, HEATHER!"

Look at Mclame's face...now that IS frightening! Repugs have no sustance to talk about so tehy attack, attack attack, while BO take teh high road and looks Presidential. Old man Mclame, give it up, nothing you can do will get you elected, its over but the voting, is it NOv. 4th yet? Better yet is it Jan 20th 2009!

Heather who? Who is the woman to comment on Foreign Policy when no one has ever heard of her? McCain goes down by 20 and that's only because folks feel sorry for the old guy.

Obama '08

America

Didn’t Hitler occupy must of Europe for fascist expansion?

Didn’t USSR occupy Eastern European Countries for political reasons?

Didn’t Saddam occupy Kuwait for oil?

So my question is this to the McWar Camp and the GOP; are we the United States occupying Iraq? They do not want us there and the McWar and the GOP are not listening to the Iraqi people and there leaders. So what are the reasons for our occupation in Iraq’ according to McWar and the GOP? I never thought the US would take this approach for expansion of democracy, political gain and for oil. It will be a sad day in America if we continue to force our values and ideology on this country.

The only sincere republican is George Bush Sr. He confesses he is jealous.The rest don't want to face the reality.Period.

yeah, keep going with that whole experience thing. worked for hillary, didnt it?

If I have to waste my time, seeing every two bit podunk Republican speak, then maybe all the Dem superdelegates need to flood the airwaves with their speil.

oh wait, no need, who still listens to the Republican talking points? no credibility at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama has experience in using race as a shield against criticism and as a sword against his opponents.

That is all the experience, qualificatios and accomplishement that is needed.

Who? Is this the best McCain could do for a surrogate? Thanks for your stellar analysis, Heather. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame on the cable news networks.

Well, Heather Wilson:

WITH ALL THE EXPERIENCE that Cheney, Bush, 'Rummy' & McCain have........ they LIED ABOUT THE WAR WITH IRAQ! They were and ARE WRONG, about where the terrorist front really is.

WITH ALL THE EXPERIENCE that McCain & Bush have, OUR NATIONAL DEBT IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH OF ........ $10 TRILLION!

WITH ALL THE EXPERIENCE that McCain has he voted FOR the Bill which had the ENRON LOOPHOLE, WHICH HAS DEREGULATED SPECULATION ON OIL PRICES!

WITH ALL THE EXPERIENCE MCCAIN HAS......... AND HIS RECORD OF NOT SUPPORTING NEW ENERGY SOURCES; OF WANTING TO BAN DRILLING ONE DAY AND DRILL THE NEXT.......... I WILL TAKE SENATOR BARACK OBAMA'S NEW VISION, EVEN THOUGH HE IS INEXPERIENCE HE HAS SOMETHING MCCAIN LACKS......... COMMON SENSE!

So, does Senator McCain and his campaign actually talk about their own plans ever? All I ever see is their criticism of Senator Obama. You can tell Senator McCain is about to criticize something Senator Obama by starting with, "my friends."

And, gee, a Republican criticizing the Democratic nominee? Wow, who would have thought that. Blow me over.

CNN's answer to John McCain's whining about media coverage is to try to even it out by posting the only news out of the McCain campaign which is to attack, and distort.

McCain is running for the President of the United States. Does he have any plans for the future? Does he have any positive vision? Does he have a definition for success?

Is this how he would run foreign policy? Seems like almost eight years of this has been a disaster.

But what is McSame and all of his experience going to get us? A war with Iran next? McSame says all Obama knows is to pull out, but all McSame knows is to continue on with war. McSame wants Obama to be open about continuing the war, but McSame never talks about the possibility of ending the war.

What is "Frighteningly Inexperienced" is John Mccain outdate views of this war.John Mccain said the Surge has success well Mccain define Victory. Obama is saying if the Surge has work let's TEST IT. Pulling the troops out within 16months.

Who cares? So far, all of McBush's surrogates have been clowns.

I GUESS BUSH WAS INEXPERIENCE TOO. HAH! BECAUSE IF HE WAS EXPERIENCE THE COUNTRY WOULD NOT BE IN SUCH A MESS. AND AS FOR MCSAME. THE IDIOT CAN'T EVEN SPEAKE, HAS NO IDEA ABOUT ECONOMY, EXPECT BEING A POW

I'll take Obama's so called 'inexperience' and good judgement anyday over mccains critical lack of judgement. BTW do the repubs realize there is stuff going on in the country besides war and foreign policy? I am sick of hearing about it. they are war hungry. Talk about issues facing us now.

This woman has been George Bush's Rah-Rah girl for years – and we're supposed to take her seriously? Give me a break!

oh, don't believe 16 months for such a thing. Not gonna happen even with Obama as POTUS.

Hank Aaron was inexperienced when he arrived in Milwaukee. Brett Favre was inexperienced when he arrived in Green Bay. Abraham Lincoln was inexperienced when he moved to Springfield, Ill. Martin Luther King Jr., well, he never held public office. But he's probably the greatest American of the past 100 years.

By the way, Heather, you look like a man. Trim those sideburns and grow some hair.

Wrong...

Obama learned how to be black just in time to be able to play the race card and to steal the nomination

Bank on it-–Wilson will lose her seat in Nov.

I am so sick of the Republican Party and their campaigns manipulating the facts and lying to the American public-

No, your not hearing the facts because they suggest McCain't has been so wrong for so long. John McCain = "Experience" with no common sense or judgment; just more of the same tired, old repetitious drivel from an outdated Republican playbook. Just because you repeat something, doesn't make it true. You can't change what the Iraqi leaders said, Ms. Wilson. Nice try though .. and thanks for playing "Twisting the Facts to Fit Your Misdirected Middle East Policies".

It's OK, I expect the other members of the Elitist GOP camp to crawl out of the wood work to help McCain. He is in desperate need of help right now.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

Experience doesn't count as much as Ideology. This election is about a new direction for America. Best get on the bandwagon, Comrades.

Somewhere, Lenin, Troksky, and Khrushev are laughing it up, and yelling "We told you so."

Got Freedom?

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

We would expect nothing less of a McCain surrogate. Let's look at how well this line of attack served Hillary. We are not looking for the person that has been in Washington the longest. We are looking for the person who is smarter and has a broader world vision, with serious judgment.

Being black is the qualification and even at THAT he has no experience- being raised in Hawaii (heaven on earth).

So he went to Chicago to get a crash course and become accepted as a black person.

OREO.

Is today John McCain day? Seems McCain attacking Obama is all I hear about. At least when I hear news about Obama, it's his own ideas and how he thinks his ideas are better, not just baseless unsupported attacks.

As for Ms. Wilson, taking a phrase out of context and using it for political gain is exactly what the Karl Rove politics have mastered. Obama might simply be using the Republicans own tactics against them. It's laughable to read her words regarding his playing politics. Pot, meet Kettle.

President* sorry

O YEA MCCLUELESS HAS ALL THAT EXPERIENCE.

HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR HIS BEING WRONG

AND IN SUPPORT OF BUSH A 100% OF THE TIME.

RIGHT AGAIN, HE HAS THE SAME EXPERIENCE BUSH

HAS. AND IT'S ALL BAD. MAN CAN'T THINK HIMSELF

OUT OF A ROOM.

Way aren’t we surprised they used the word ‘frightening’? Stop trying to scare us please.

you want to know what’s really frightening? A senile prudent who continued to confuse things because he’s losing his bearings. McCain keeps getting away with stuff that would have ended Obama's career. Iraq/ Pakistan Boarder, Czechoslovakia, confusing Somalia and Sudan, difference between Sunni and Shia etc. This kinds of gaffs would have ENDED Obama’s chances. A clouded and confused mind is what’s frightening.

If I recall correctly, Obama wants us out in ABOUT sixteen months. He said he was willing to make changes if needed. I also believe a timetable for troop withdrawl will help our progress in Iraq.

also,

The prime minister may not have officially endorsed Obama's withdrawl plan, but he does agree with the general sixteen month timetable.

THAT'S JUST A FRIGHTENINGLY STUPID THING TO SAY!

NO WONDER MCSAME WILL LOSE IN NOVEMBER!!!

HE'S GOT IDIOTS LIKE THIS AROUND HIM!!!

OBAMA '08

Dose Mcsame h ave a foreign policy because it not his web site

We ALL read & heard what the Prime Minister said.... Lets not dice words...

-V

Let's talk about how with all john's so called experience, he supported this senseless war and still does? He wanted a gas tax holiday which over 300 economists said was no good. He wants to drill off shore where we will not see any results for at a minimum 7 years. He criticized Obama for wanting to use diplomacy with our enemies and now the US is using diplomatic relations with North Korea and Iran. He wants 45 nuclear facilities built with no means of disposing of their wastes. Good thing it doesn't take experience to run this country but sound judgement which Obama has abundantly. George W Bush Jr. had 'experience'.........

Yet again...another nobody that no one cares or want to here from! If the surge worked so great as they keep saying the why ARE WE STILL THERE, with troop level higher than they were pre-surge! I guess they think that if they repeat it a 100 times by 100 different surrogates then more people would start to believe it. They will try anything to divert attention away from the economy which McCain was supposed to be talking about this week!

AND YOU THINK YOUR CANDIDATE HAS ANYTHING TO OFFER?????????????? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A WOMAN WARMONGER BUT YOU ARE COMING PRETTY CLOSE...

I guess desperate people do desperate things. The GOP knows that this election is just about fear. Frankly, that has been their winning mantra in past elections, so why should we expect anything different this time around?

Insanity is often described as doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

The candidates with "experience" (which translates into lifelong politicians who don't see the need to change course) got us into the situation of $4.25 gasoline and $4 for a loaf of bread. They supported a war that has cost us hundreds of billions of dollars and not made us safer (but instead has increased anti-American sentiment around the world).

That is the type of "experience" being offered by the McCain campaign.

Seriously, I've had enough of that type of experience.

Bot the Republicans just like to beat a horse to death, don't they? The problem is we are not buying what they are selling. Not anymore! OBAMA 08!

And I call John McCain "frighteningly" old! So, I guess that evens this race out, huh?

But Obama reminds people- who weren't born when JFK and MLK were here- of those TRUE leaders.

And adults who know better, allowed themselves to be influenced by the enthusiasm of their kids and grandkids and fell for the demagogue hyped as the ROCK superstar, American Idol.

Now the adults feel remorse for being swayed by the kiddies.

Let the Grand Oil Party's fear mongering begin

The McCain camp will do anything to draw the attention away from Obama. It wasn't an American news article that quoted the president talking about a timeline it was several international papers. Why try and blame Obama for something the man obviously said.

And I'm sure Rep Heather Wilson from New Mexico is an expert on foreign affairs herself.

Obama has NEVER said that withdrawl would be regardless of conditions on the ground. McCain and his surrogates try to misrepresent Obama in this area, because lying is their only hope.

When America realizes that Obama has a very nuanced understanding of international relations, we will all be safer for it.

The McCain campaign is a campaign of whiners.

Nothing but negative spew. They're clearly the Republicans.

the clock is ticking, ole johnnie and his crew are really getting desperate, they really don't have a clue, I hoped the GOP would have known by now what a flawed candidate they have in ol johnnie...............WOW!

Obama/Biden 08

I don't care what you think.

WELL WE DO KNOW MCCLUELESS IS AN EXPERIENCED

MORON, WARMONGER, IMBECILE, BIGOT, LIER & THIEF.

TRUE, OBAMA HAS NONE OF THAT EXPERIENCE.

Yes, its amazing how Iraqis, and even the Republicans are doing now what Obama said to do all along. He's about as inexperienced as Robert Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln. He's probably more experienced than they are, since he was in the IL state legislature for awhile too.

McCain is beginning to be totally negative in his campaign. He needs to begin talking about the issues and what HE wants to do, not what someone else is doing. His negative campaign is going to hurt him in the long run.

wow... that's a new claim.... really... How dirty these Repubs got once Obama left the U.S.... Hmmmm makes you wonder.... & could they get someone other than that "soccer-mom/saggy-baggy-lady" to say this?

-V

Yawn.

So the day after a poll comes out wherein more people think the media is biased to Obama, CNN lines up story after story of every nasty thing being said about him, whereas al-Maliki's statement doesn't even mention a story, only a footnote!

CNN, I'm a big fan, but don't blow in the wind like this!

Didn’t Hitler occupy must of Europe for fascist expansion?

Didn’t USSR occupy Eastern European Countries for political reasons?

Didn’t Saddam occupy Kuwait for oil?

So my question is this to the McWar Camp and the GOP; are we the United States occupying Iraq? They do not want us there and the McWar and the GOP are not listening to the Iraqi people and there leaders. So what are the reasons for our occupation in Iraq’ according to McWar and the GOP? I never thought the US would take this approach for expansion of democracy, political gain and for oil. It will be a sad day in America if we continue to force our values and ideology on this country.

If Obama spits into the wind, its just going to land right back on his face.

Substance over Hype!! McCain '08

She obviously hasn't listened to McCain on foreign relations! He keeps referring to countries that don't exist, borders that don't exist, and incredibly simplistic views of the surge and Iraq.

So far McCain and the Bush adminstration have followed Obama on Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq. What is next?

Yeah sweetie, keep spouting those same repug lies while your boy mccain shows how wrong he's been on the war, the surge, foreign policy and the economy not to mention his continuous exit of campaign staffers. It takes judgement, not so called 'experience'. GWB had 'experience'. Enough said.

>>"He's not listening to the whole of what the Iraqi government was saying — he's hearing what he wanted to hear..."<<

Wow... that sounds remarkably like the current president! Does Rep. Wilson suffer from selective amnesia?

182 days till the end of the Bush administration.

Didn’t Hitler occupy must of Europe for fascist expansion?

Didn’t USSR occupy Eastern European Countries for political reasons?

Didn’t Sadam occupy Kuwait for oil?

So my question is this to the McWar Camp and the GOP; are we the United States occupying Iraq? They do not want us there and the McWar and the GOP are not listening to the Iraqi people and there leaders. So what are the reasons for our occupation in Iraq’ according to McWar and the GOP? I never thought the US would take this approach for expansion of democracy, political gain and for oil. It will be a sad day in America if we continue to force our values and ideology on this country.

What's frightening is to imagine McCain as President.

Sometimes inexperience can be a good thing... Look at how much experience Chaney has..... I don't know about others but that's frightening to me. In fact so frightening that I am sitting outside in 90 degrees and I am shivering....

Republicans = Fear

NADER FOR DICTATOR 2008!
