How dare them scaring us poor dumb americans with the facts. Where is my gun and bible?

To john July 30th, 2008 7:18 pm ET
(Barak what you don't get is that the other side doesn't scare you do)
**Be quick to Judge Yourself and slow to Judge Others***

Tucker Bounds is the Clean Up Man .....Don't forget The Trash .....McWar and RNC!!!

Any credibility left for McGrumpy is gone. It doesn't matter how many staff changes he makes. Old politics will never leave the older generation. This is why we need a CHANGE. The moment has come America.

MCCain doesn't know anything but fighting.Bad example for our young people.Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I support Senator Obama. He does not scare me, its the comments that I read on some of these bloggs that truly scare me. All these haters in this world. But I have faith that there are more good people in this world than evil people.
Obama 2008..............Yes we can!

Barack is absolutely right with the McCain personal attacks as "OLD" John tries to dodge the "real issues" facing America.

Oh bye the way – did you hear that the SURGE WAS WORKING. Of course, OLD John won't talk about the mis-adventure that made the surge necessary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John, why don't you tell us how you are going to bring economic stability to the majority of Americans – oh, that right you don't get economics – surge surge surge surge! Yeah right geezer we get it, your a bush clone with only keeping the republicans rich as your "TRUE" platform!

Just as I was about to forget about Hillary's campaign, McCain is using the same tactics, and it's going to backfire on him. And Hillary and Bill Clinton is way much more popular among Democrats, and yet they lost. Americans are getting sick and tired of this negative campaigning. Quit tearing people down. Keep this up, and it's going to backfire. We need to come together and rebuild this country, and we are lucky to have Obama, who has the ability to bring many people together. He did it in this country, and he did it outside the country. He gets the world excited about the possible change. It's not just the world leaders who gives respect to Obama, because of his potential to be president of the United States, it's also about the common people, who has nothing to gain for coming out for him. It's not only about change, but it's also about how we bring about change, from the bottom, reconnect people again. It's way better than what McCain is offering.

You just don't get it Obama....Your lack of judgement, intergrity, experience and friends scare me....not the "other side". "Other side" man, that sounds kinda divisive. What happen to Unity? Oh yeah, that's the town you and Hillary tried to make nice.

"he doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency, he’s a got a funny name.’”

Well there he goes calling us all racist again for not voting for him

To john:

He scares whom? you? why is that .... Because he is a black man?

what a sissy .... just because a man is black that scares you?

your type caused a fatal damage to our country and to the world over the last 8 years ..... and you still want 4 more of it? that is what should scare every single person with any functional brain ...

This "political process" has turned into a series of "events," that for me at least; shows how inapt the process really is, this time. And how the candidates; the "players on the field", you might say have committed error after error, but we leave them in the game. Because in these late innings of this election, we have no one else to relieve them; and the "real issues" go fully un-address and resolved. While these candidates still pander for votes, and we wait for election results in November...................3months away!!!!!!! Oh, how far and divided.................. we have come!

Obama is scary and so are the people who support him.

Mccain's campaign is pathetic, just look at their reply, I hope they continue this form of smere campaigning we democrats will have it in the bag!

John how do you like being owned by China?

Heck Barrack, both you and McCain scare me. You guys spend way too much time bashing each other rather than focusing on help for the American people.

Obama YOU and your arogant, elitist ways are enough to scare me.

You are so far left with your voting history, that you are left of socialism.

And that scares me.

Obama, your own statements show that you are for Obama 1st and the country a distant 2nd. We need a president that puts America 1st and his own ambitions LAST. You are not that person.

obama, keep up this angle. use their fear tactics AGAISNT them!!! accuse the republicans of being scared, old men. it will work. most of them ARE scared, old men.

We better be afraid, Obama is a pending disaster the likes of which this country will never recover from.

SUPER SILLY SEASON...TUCKER BOUNDS SOUND LIKE SOMEONE WHO DID NOT GET BREAST FED ENOUGH. VERY STUPID...THE BRITNEY AD SOUND LIKE MCSAME CAMP ATTEMPTED TO HIRE SOME YOUNG FOLK TO BE HIP AND COOL, BUT INSTEAD THEY ARE MAKING A VERRRRRY MATURE MAN LOOK LIKE A FOOL.

I'm sorry but as an older American who loves his country and only wants the best for the future generations, the thought of a McSame presidency scares the living crap out of me !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've never NEVER seen a candidate who so blindly, ignorantly, uncaringly advocates policies and programs that so clearly spell the destruction of our democracy.
How did the Germans feel in the 1930s ?
Probably the same .

McBush does not know what to do so he'll go back to the usual tactics of negativity and fear to get voters. I hope Americans are wise to this by now!

The McCain campaign is pathetic.

it's Obama that scares me. That speech in Berlin reminded me of another fraud who gave speeches there in 1939.

To john above McCain and Tucker Bounds ...take a one ticket to the Twilight Zone

McShame a GOOD test of Character: when you do WRONG ,Do YOU ACCEPT The BLAME!!!

History shows the American public can be swayed through fear as that is exactly how you ended up with Beavis & Butt Head for the past 8 years.

When you don't have any sensible policies to put forward to the public you have to cover up your shortcomings with attack ads and slander. That is the Republican way.

It is you Obama who scare the USA, not the other side.

Just show us that you really love this country but not hate USA, show us some evidence you are not muslism......We do not need an empty box with a piece of paper labeled "yes we can"...

Campbell Brown is paid by the republicans. So is Louzer Dobbs.

You people that believe the smut desere what you get – your wives will be recruited for the war with IRAN – the rest of us have to suffer because of you.

Time for a rebellion !!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, john, you're wrong buddy.

Electing our first African American president is an honor I will thoroughly enjoy on election day. Obama is intellingent, has good judgment and is the very embodiment of leadership with good principles.

McCain is attacking him because Republicans know they don’t have the answers...Tucker Bounds McShame and john above- take a One Way ticket to the MOON!

McShame A good test of Character when you do wrong ......Do you accpet the Blame ???

Don't let other side scare you????? Only someone named Osoma Barack scares voters.

I love how Tuck gives the typical whiners response after everything the Obama camp says or does.

McCain SCARES me with his OLD CRAZY self

Don't worry, Barry. The other side doesn't scare me one bit.

YOU SCARE ME!!!

Obama scares me. Both he and his friend Ludicris scare me as well. supporters? It's a change that I don't like at all. Why "dis" Hillary when she whipped Obama's butt in all the coasts and in the mid west and New York. Yeah, I know Obama won Idaho, but so did Larry Craig.

I hear the obam is threatening the life of American Hero John McCain? I just read a blog that said obamba was challenging John to a duel. obamba just can't help himself with his mega ego personality can he?

I've heard Barry is related to Wild Bill, George Bush, Dick Cheney and a King of England and a host of others to probably include Osama himself. He just can't help himself. He is risky and I don't trust him.

bam may not be a Muslim, but he is no stranger in the Muslim Church.

He will raise your taxes and "dis" your values.

He would scare me if he got in the White House. Now that is a scary thought.

No worries here. I have not fears where you are concerned.

Rachel Maddow said it well:
McCain can refer to himself as President, hold weekly radio addresses like a President, and talk about what the world will think after his first-term, and no one calls him presumptuous or arrogant. Yet Obama does far less than that, and he gets called those things.

all mccain is trying to do is have the voter take a good look at obama. he keeps asking for open question town house meetings which obama refuses to do. he will only debate pre arranged questions on only certain topics. mccain wants open question from the real people not stooges set up in the audiance to ask set up questions with practiced answers. obama's only experience with that type of questipn was in the abc debate were he was asked to explain his answer. he couldn't come up with a credible explanation on what he had just said and later complained he was set up. excuse me if it was your plan to begin with why could you not elaborate that's all mccain wants the public to see the real obama no pre writes no telepromter just two politicians explaning THEIR issue and how THEY are going to implement them

Once again CNN you didn't post my comment.

Obama, you're the only one who is scary...well, you Pelosi and Reid all running this country...that is really, really scary!

Hysteria ! No, this is Stadard Operating Procedure for Republican politics. Use wedge issues & fear. That's the best sales tactic in the industry Scare em or piss em off, then they'll buy anythihg you're selling

MESSIAH OBAMA–we will not fear as we know you will lead us into 10,000 years of peace and socialism...HOSANNA on the highest.

Only someone really insanely stupid would
continue to support McCain/Bush whose failed
policies that have already driven this country
into the ground. America should seriously think about
where they're getting their information from and
go educate themselves on the issues from both
sides (i.e. read Obama's policies on his website
and read McCain's policies on his website) then
make an intelligent, informed decision instead of
listening to the dumbed down media and stupid
lying GOP ads.

McCain and the Republicans must be stupid to think Americans are going to continue to put up with the personal attacks.

Just one more reason Obama will have our family's vote. He tells us what we need to hear, not necessarily what we want to hear without attacking his opponents.

The Republicans don't know how to run a clean race. McCain used to say he wouldn't play these games. I guess everyone has their price and he's been bought and paid for by the Republicans, lobbiests and oil companies.

McSame should be McSHAME...

Republicans are trying every tactic they can. They need to make a lead so they attack his character. How childish but typical of the Republicans!!!! It really makes me even more geared to vote for Obama.

These attacks are distasteful and ridiculous. Republicans you don't scare me – I thought republicans were suppose to be conservative. This is definitely not conservative – bad, bad, (R).

I'm more afraid of Senator McCain than I ever could be of Senator Obama. Senator McCain said at the beginning that he would not run a negative campaign, but of late all you see & hear is negativity. I think that the American people are smart enough to research the ads and know that they are either lying or play really fast and loose with the truth.

Everyone knows that this is all the republicans ever do. They smear and vilify the opposition so that they can hide the fact that all they're out to do is help the upper 1 percent screw the rest of us over just a little bit more. Luckily, Sen. Obama has so far been able to stand up to them. I just hope he's able to fare as well in the coming months when the Republican Attack Machine REALLY kicks it into high gear.

The old politics of fear, divide and conquer.

That is what the repubs are doing. But I doubt it will work this time.

Obama 08/12.

McCain's camp is just woeully inept...who is his campaign manager? Barney Fife?

Obama has come into this campaign with a message that has genuine content. New ideas, ideas about the future, about changing the direction we are headed in. Some may not agree with all those ideas, but at least the content is there. And he has backed it up with his outstanding performance as the leader of his extremely effective campaign, and most recently, as a representative of the U.S. on the world stage.

McCain's campaign seems to be simply one of criticizing Obama, leveling personal accusations in a way that tries to paint an image about his character that is blatantly false. No new ideas in his message. No sense that he will work to solve, or that he even has any idea of how to solve, the horrific problems that the last 7 years have left us with. Just personal attack and inuendo.

It is clear to me who is taking the high road in this campaign, and who has the skills to deal with the complex problems of the coming decade. Again, you may not agree with all of his ideas, but Obama is a pragmatist who will indeed work for the solutions that we need.

Tucker Bounds obviously doesn't know what "superfluous" means. People with small minds should NOT try to use big words.

So Obama claims that McCain has nothing to say for his own plans, just criticism ofObama.

McCain's camp responds not by making a policy statement, but by criticizing Obama.

That's mighty telling.

First, take back what your campagne said about that idiot Ludicras, calling him "talented"! You don't have the guts to say that such fools are the low lives of our society and that it is their garbage that has poisoned our society and our youth for a long long time. And now you don't have the guts to say that, and you only say that he should be ashamed of the lyrics of that nasty rap song!

This is the limit. The McCain campaign has no valid argument to make on the issues so it is pathetically trying to turn Obama's charisma against him.

When oh when is the media ever going to call John "Free Ride" McCain on his crap? Or, as Obama suggests, just ask McCain about issues instead of giving his mindless-attack commercials free air time in the name of "analysis." Talk about bias!!

Really John
you scare that an african american has a chance to become president of the unites states, you scare that now black people may start to realize that they are not inferior like many want them to believe, that with good education one can breach what was tought to be unbreachable , that the american peole in their tolerance, acceptance, understanding , respect and muticultiralism will show to the rest of the world that skin color can not keep a qualified politician from accessing the highest position in the white house, maybe you scare that you will no longer considered yourself as entitled.

i fell sorry for you cause i know it's going to be very hard to live with the fact.

Poor mccain and crew! they're so out of touch, they can't even spew out an effective smear ad–which can't be difficult. I mean, they're learning from the mudslinger emeritus, Karl Rove!

Britney Spears? Paris Hilton? What year is this, 2004?

Someone needs to teach the old man how to use "The Google" to come up with some celeb names that would actually lend their low-road smear an air of authenticity at least on ONE level!

John:
Sure you and your tired old man aren't scared...LOL.

Not this time.

OBAMA '08

The media have got to do their jobs!

Why not hold McCain accountable for all his misstatements and contradictory positions instead of just reporting the latest nasty thing he says about Obama?

Mr. Obama, you have scared me into voting for a Republican for President for the first time in over 20 years of voting. Maybe spend more time adminishing your hideously sexist and hate-filled supporters and stop accusing everyone who doesn't agree with you of being a racist. Just an idea.

Today he's a "celebrity?" Well, since more people voted in the last American Idol election than in the Presidential one, I don't mind if Obama's a celebrity, hehe...

The only hysterical people are John McCain and his handlers. What ugly attacks on Obama we have seen in the past few days. Also it isn't particularly intelligent to attack your opponent by saying his doesn't care about troops (while using a picture of Obama with the troops) or to criticize him by showing him in front of a huge crowd of people cheering and waving American flags?

Such is the paradox of the McCain attack: How is Obama both too much of a stupid celebrity and inexperienced politician to lead the country but yet also responsible for the high price of gasoline?

Same old Republican crap I've seen the last two elections employed by the Republicans. Let's hope Obama has the 'balls" to shove the crap back at them unlike Kerry in 04. Hey Mr. McCain, how about talking about how you are going to bring down fuel prices (besides the irrelevant idea of off-shore drilling that won't help us for 10 years). How about what you propose to do about unaffordable health care or the biggest housing debacle in decades. In other words Mr. McCain, why don't you address some of the issues we really care about. The ones that affect our families and our future. The majority of us out here struggling could care less about Britney or Paris.

John...what? Is that English? Republicans are scared they will get pummeled this fall. They have to raise Obama's negatives, but so far, people don't buy it because the attacks are ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

Republicans are the party of NO ideas...and they prove it daily with the way they are running their campaign.

I am convinced this is a country of Idiots! All you have to do is a little research to find out that there are some serious mental issues with McCain. I think he suffers from post traumatic stress syndrome. There is no way a person can be held in a prison camp for 5 years and have no mental effects. We need to demand a copy of his mental record, I am sure it is filled with interesting information.

My friend just because you are a stunted tree doesn't allow you to throw rocks on this superb tree with so much fruits.

For someone who is sold as a "post-racial" candidate, this guy sure spends a lot of time trying to get everybody talking about his race. This is the second time, now, that Obama himself has made statements about McCain trying to scare people over Obama's race.

Why, you'd almost think HE is the one trying to stir up racial tensions!

Does the disrespect and contempt of the Republican attack dawgs know no bounds?! But more importantly, do they not realize how petty and childish this makes McCain look?

On the face of it, it's absurd. Obama clearly does not equal Spears in anyone's mind. Even to hicks in the sticks, they are worlds apart. So who's the target audience anyway?

I think McCain's campain is jealous and envious. Not long now before the issue of old-priviledged-white-dude racism moves front and center.

He's self-destructing.

So really what does McCain stand for, besides Bush?

As was pointed out in a recent Doonesbury strip, the presidency is not a popularity contest. Sure, poeple said they would love to sit down and have a beer with bush. And just look what that fun-loving, popular guy has done to our country in the past 8 years. We need a competent president... a leader.... not a party guy (oops... pun). T

Time to call on the youth to fix the ills of this country. Our parents have bankrupted our future. There are more of us than them. Are you going to continue to be apathetic losers...or do you want more than what is being offered? Register and vote...or be resigned to a life of nothing...that is your choice.

If I were a financial supporter of MaCain I would be more than PISSED!!! Such ads are such a waste, lack any substance. It shows MaCain has no financial judgment and responsibility. Scary! Very scary!!!

And MaCain questions Obama’s “celebrity” status?!?! They both are public figures. Obama is just more on top and MaCain is acting like a jealously little kid! And MaCain questioning Obama’s ability lead, well I would like to point out that the US needs more than experience to create true change. And a hero title will also not help us either.

Don't let the other side scare you? How about don't let Obama make you be naive in thinking he solve our country and the world's problems simply by repeating CHANGE and YES WE CAN again and again. Silly Obama... That's inexperience and BS for u.

McCain's campaign is becoming exactly what he swore it wouldn't be. He's going beyond the kitchen sink to the outhouse. Barack's responses aren't superfluous, they are simply responding to the trite logical the McCain camp is throwing out. My response is, I wish Obama wouldn't waste his time on the innanities of the McCain camp, and instead focus on the issues at hand, thus thwarting their arguments.

You notice that every speech Obama gives he keeps saying that the Republicans are going to make "us" scared of him, infering over and over that they're going to use the race card. Yet the Repubs didn't, don't and I suspect won't. Obama has implanted it in the heads of his fans and they actually believe him. He has them mesmorized. It is scary that his followers are almost like a cult. They believe everything he says, even when proved incorrect.

The republicans scare me, but I wonder where did the great democratic party go? We had Kerry, now Obama, not to mention Clinton. Don't we have anyone qualified and capable to lead us out of this mess?

Obama, you scare me, not because of anything McCain or the repubs said (or didn't say, that you say they're going to say), but because I don't think you are up to the job, and are way too far to the left, I smell higher taxes, government intervention into my personal life (mandatory health care, other forced government programs), etc.

McCain, you scare me because you are likely a mellower extension of Bush's policies and out of touch with the new world.

So what is a guy to do? I hear Peru is nice this time of year.

PS: I find it interesting that in these blogs all the obvious democrats/liberals accuse the repubs/right wingers of being attack dogs and negative, etc, yet I only see the Obama supporters attacking and being mean-spirited. This is driving me away from the Democratic Party, they are being taken over by extremists and fundamentalist leftists. We need a third party, one that is focused on a centrist, moderate platform that will bring the most to the most, not force one extreme or the other upon the whole.

Who hired this Tucker? He is a ruthless jerk without any morals. What happened to running a respectable campaign?? I can't believe McCain is stooping this low. I will never vote for him after watching all of this happen...... They almost seem to be enjoying it, that is the sick thing..... What a low campaign, it is disgusting and it will backfire because it is so obvious. Those of you who do not see them playing right into your fear and racism are totally out of touch with what is going on.

If 7 years of the Republicans tearing down this country doesn't scare you...you are mental! Obama might make you wonder but that trumps running scared another 4 years easily. Remember...the sky isn't really falling as the McSames want you to believe.

umm seems this is turnin into a slam this and slam that deal,, time to get down to issues,,,,, obama,,, dont play that game,,, stick to the issues andyou have it 100%.. mccain is playin a game and dont go there,,,,,,, my vote still goes to obama!!!!08

But the other side does scare me – they promise more wars, longer wars, tax breaks for Big Oil and wealthy, AND they will draft men and WOMEN for the wars McSenile wants to start to prove he knows wars.

Wake up people.

Kool aid not offered – and buy your own coffee – he can afford starbucks with Cindy's money, can you?

Doubt it.

Ahem, John. Since the GOP, party of Bush, Chaney, Rove, Katherine Harris (ad nausium) who sold the nation's future to the Chinese have realized the old strategy of guns god and gays will not work this time, they use the fear tactic that they sold to the nation in 2004. It is so pathetic. Every breath Bush takes while pretending to serve the nation is a lie and sells out every sacrifice ever made by any American, in uniform or not. And the newest sell out? Mc Cain. He once was a man of character. He once opposed torture, knowing even more about it than Bush knows about booze. He used to give it straight on the far out religious right. Now he sucks up to each of these groups. It is required of the GOP candidate if he wants to get the main party support, just like bending over in front of the oil lobby. He has no shame and lost his honor.

Tucker Bounds must think Americans can't read or think. Obama's stance on off shore drilling is that he opposes giving big oil NEW leases when they haven't even used the leases they now hold. Bush and McFossil only want to insure that their oil buddies are taken care of. More Repub BS!

Seems like some people who comment on here have already fallen victim to the fear factor....always talking about scary Obama.

Here's what you guys need to do...get a blanket for safety and hide under your beds. Come out in the next 4 years after the rest of the nation works with Pres Obama to return the US to its former glory.

The other side doesn't scare me, Bam Bam – YOU scare me!

It does not matter what you do they are looking for a reason not to vote for you. Hang in there because they are just getting started. Those people are wicked and vile like snakes. They are going to play the you are not one of them cards and every other racist card that they have. We black people are dreaming, those good white people would not do a thing like that is what they love to say. The CNN special Black In America was not true, all of that racist stuff just don't go on they say. My father, brother and I are all veterans but it doesn't matter because if I don't see something that I don't like in the country that I swore to defend they like to tell me to go back to a place that I have never been. We black folks just won't let go of the past because it is a new day they like to say. Well guess what people racism is alive and well in America. Obama could be in Washington for 30yrs and they still would not know him good enough.
Where were they when Mrs. Obama racist roommate from New Orleans asked for another room because she didn't want to room with a black girl. White folks are not racist. It is all in our minds. Obama and the rest of us are dreaming if we think that a black man can move into the White house. That would really be a new day in America.
Obama08 a dream

I think that when Republicans say Obama is "risky," it is just code for "he's black and different."

Cindy McCain scares me.

My friend is throwing rock on Obama because he saw in front of him a superb tree with lot of fruits and he is a stunted one.

MR AMERICA points out that Obama's opposition to those things mean he is a Democrat.

And his responses are courteous and smart, not fussy and hysterical.

Amazing!
McCain will lose badly this fall.

Im afriad of Paris Hilton.

Speak for yourself John. Barack hits the nail on the head every time. He has a gift to ascertain the BS and right now McCain is GRASPING at nothing. He has to try to make Barack look bad to make himself look good. Its the oldest game in the book......Oh yeah, he knows how to play the game because he's ancient.

Go Obama 08-16

C'Mon, fear tactics are all the Republicans have. While Obama was away, McCain had a real chance to steal some media. Instead, he chose to rant that every problem in America is Obama's fault. The best example is when Obama was told he could only visit troops in Germany with his Senate staff. He was given one day prior notice and had already sent his staff home as the official visit was completed. McCain & the GOP jumped all over it (with false information) and ran with it. In reality, it is Obama with an 80% approval rating from the D.A.V. (Disabled American Veterans) regarding veteran and troop issues. McCain has a 20% approval rating from the same group.

Who really supports the troops and will be the one to get things done?

The answer is simple: Barack Obama

Also, we thought you were the peace candidate. that is not true. You want to expand the war in Afghanistan, run attacks over Pakistan's border, phase out troops in Iraq over 16 months, and use confrontational language against Iran. You are not an advocate of peace. We no longer know who you are. You scare us.

Obama is scary, People are identified by the company they keep.. look at
Ludacris
Rev Wright
Father Flagger
Bill Aires
Faraa khan
Nancy Pelosi.

Obama said Hillary would do anything to win the nomination.. if you look at his career, you can tell who is the opportunist.. he tied up with Rev wright to get a foot hold in south side of chicago..

Used Tony Rezko to get a sweet deal on his home..

is this 1 above politics .. is this the guy who wanted to bring change.. does record match is rehtoric..

Hilary was the best bet. And we would have got Bill with Hillary , the good old days...

I dont like Mccain's policies but i dont like Obama either.. i know how lot of us feel we are in bind.

once again when faced with legitimate criticism sen obama howl that its because he's "different" which means everyone who criticizes the great ONE is a racist and hates him because he is black. how much longer will the media allow this mediocre, socialist, community organizer to get away with not answering for his actions in an effort to avoid the racist label he gives to anyone who questions him?

"You need to ask John McCain what he’s for and not just what he’s against"

I believe McCain has clearly stated that he is for offshore drilling, and Obama has stated he is against it.

Will this shifty Obama guy continue to have no responsibiility? Where exactly are his policies? We all change our behavior and give all of our money away? No Thanks! I'll keep my money and the freedom to make my own choices. I refuse to learn Spanish, and it is my right as an American.

Barack, the other side is not scared of you - the voters are!!! You also havent said anything of what you plan to do - but just the word "change, change, change" - but HOW??? we dont know and you dont know! words are so easy but its the actions that count!

right on the dime. McCain has said nothing about what he believes in. What is his plan for the country? surge and more war. All he does is attack. When an individual attack it means that the person has no plan. go obama.

No, Obama, it is NOT the other side it is you. You have tons of money buy you are falling in the polls. You need to set aside your ego for the country and the party and put Hillary on the ticket.

Barak does scare me. An egotistical candidate who had the gall to re-design the Presidential Seal, makes merry with European socialists, wants to raise everyone's taxes, loves $4 a gallon gasoline (he must love it, because he is against drilling).

Mr. Obama... You are the other side and it's pretty scary.

Gas tax holiday? Ridiculous idea that benefits oil companies and hurts average Americans.

Offshore drilling? Ridiculous idea that benfits oil companies and hurts average Americans.

Iraq war? Ridiculous idea that benefits oil companies and hurts average Americans.

Deregulating oil futures markets? Ridiculous idea that benefits oil companies and hurts average Americans.

Corporate tax loopholes? Ridiculous idea that benefits huge corporations and hurts average Americans.

Bush tax cuts for the wealthy? Ridiculous idea that benefits 1% of the country and hurts average Americans.

How many of these do I have to list before people understand what is going on here?

Lets see Rev Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Flager and now Ludacris…….Let me take a wild guess "That is not the Ludacris I know"

Obama claims he has 11 of the racists songs on his IPOD and that he is very talented. The pattern of Obama's friends all seem to have one thing in common.

I am probably just reading into all of his friends to much……I am sure they are all just misunderstood.

I am sorry I forgot the honorable Louie Farrakhan….How did that happen

So now the republican tactic is to brand Obama a celebrity? They tried elitist, they tried arrogant, now they will see if celebrity will stick. It doesn't really matter, the only label that will stick is Mr President in January.

isn't saying mccain is like bush a scare tactic

Nope, not this time. The GOP can let another terrorist attack happen just as MCsane adviser had wish for. do you remeber Black?. The fear card is not going to work at all this time. It seems to me that the public can now use their senses after 8 years of Bush, Cheney, and Mcshame mess.

Since Karl Rove's minions have slimed their way into the McCain campaign, it has taken a major shift to the dark and the dirtier side. No surprises there. Where is the straight talker now ? The champions of the Big Lie and Smear are now managing McCain to keep him on track and on message. The stench that arises from the Swift Boat style attacks on Obama is all too familiar. McCain himself was a victim of this filth in 2000. The fact that he needs to rely on this type of "thuggery" is proof positive of his feebleness as a candidate.

I can't wait for McCain's next ad, "Obama's Got Cooties, and He Smells, Too!"

After Obama said that about MCCain needing to talk about what he's going to do, instead of what Obama is going to do, McCain's committee came back with the same old same old line, I want to hear the issues and their ideas of what we can do to fix things. Obama is really starting to focus on the issues, McCain is still stuck in insulting Obama.

We Wont Be Scared . . . We Are Going To Be Smart . . . By Voting For Obama!

Obama tried this tactic before and it was mostly successful.
He uses the "you guys in the audience and I know, WE know, what this guy is trying to do" tone, and then get the audience to laugh with him on some stupid one liner about the situation. He did it with Hillary also.
It's Obama that's the scary one. The audacity of fake.

McCain's team shouldn't use words like superfluous when their leader does not know its meaning.

john- ??? "the other side doesn't scare you do?" What does that mean? Are you part of mccain's super intelligent team?

Why should they scare them? Your thin record speaks for itself, and that scares people more than what the Republicans can tell them.

WHAT RELAY SCARES US ARE LEADERS THAT EXIST

BECAUSE WE PAY THEIR SALARIES, MEDICAL INSURANCE

FOR THEM & THEIR FAMILIES & EXPENSES AND

CALL US A NATION OF WHINERS.

Barack has never been scared we have known racist like You all of our lives – what you have yet to learn is that love will always override Hate

john, I have to congratulate the republicans for doing all that they have done so far, because they are really trying their best. They know Obama isn't afraid of them, and that he is a lot smarter than they are.
And still there is time at the present time he and mccain are both presumptive nominees. When they both becomes their respective parties Nominees, then things will become entirely different.

Talking about scared, you should google: Songbird John McCain and see how he sang during the Viet Nam War.

John,

Change is scary.

I think I could lead the McCain's campaign. Simply fill in the blanks to this statement in response to ANY issue: " Barack Obama, by xxxxxx is acting like most celebrities, and in xxxxx and xxxx shows that he lacks judgment and experience." Repeat a lie often enough and people start to think it's true. The problem is, if you can win an election this way how can it be good for the country?

John

Barack has never been scared we have klnown racist like all of our lives – what you have yet to learn is that love will always override Hate

OBAMA 08

Ditto Phillip
I could not have said it better!

Amazing how the McCain's camp response was still harping on the "celebrity" theme...jealous much??? everyone loves a celebrity..guess McCain is no different...

I was a huge McCain supporter in 2000, but McCain's given up every value that made me like him, and G-d help us if he wins this election.

He certainly won't be cleaning up 8 years of Bush corruption given that his inner-circle is full of Bush cronies. Ordinary Americans can't survive more trillion-dollar wars that make more terrorists than they kill and tax breaks for filthy rich bastards who've never served their country in uniform or in our inner-cities.

My initial reaction to Obama was negative - afterall, who wants an inexperienced black dude who knows nothing about me - but I have to give the man credit where it's due. He's god fearing just like me, loves his country just like me, and his policies just plain make sense. It is time for change, Obama's worked hard to serve his community and I'm going to give the man a chance.

He certainly can't be any worse the republican party that turned it's back on me long ago.

Its apperant McWar has no agenda or solution to the current problems with the economy or other problems in the world. so he does what any true republican do, fall back to the old republican standby fear and miss information. I am waiting for more information which I know is coming soon on the so call war hero McWar real record and his Billionaire wife tax record.

OBAMA STAY ABOVE ALL THAT MESS!!!! -B.

Be afraid...be very afraid.

Obama is going to get crushed in November. Democrats are already privately turning against the anointed one.

All they can say is that Obama wants to raise taxes and they wont let us drill offshore. You only have to pay taxes if you have a job and a lot less people have one of those today than they did 7 years ago. I would rather have a job and have the money to pay taxes than not have a job. As for oil drilling, Why dont they drill on the 68000 acres they have leased to drill on? If you want to drill offshore tell us how much money we will save not that we will just have more oil. I think we are smart enough to know that the more we drill the more oil,but what about the 68000 acres we are not drilling . Let the oil gaints tell us what they are going to charge us for oil if they get to drill offshore, they should be able to put a price on it now, but if its the same price at the pump as it is today let them drill on the land they have. If they got to drill offshore I bet the price would stay the same and the oil gaints would just make more profits. About being scared, I'm scared, I own my business and have lost money for last 7 years. They (McSame) have to try to scare people that is all they have, It worked 3 years ago, maybe everyone can see though it this time.

WE ARE SCARED OF THE OTHER SIDE.

THE SIDE THAT LEAD US TO WAR & POVERTY,

THE SIDE THAT WON THREE ELECTION PROMOTING

RACE HATE, RELIGIOUS HATE & WORLD HATE.

Notice the stench??? That's what is called the "REPUBLICAN SLIME MACHINE" for those who are new to politics. It's what gave America and the world Bush and Cheney twice...Attack, Scare, Attack, Scare and oh how well it works. The usual suspects...the so called "conservative evangelical christians", " the high school dropouts from the heartland" and "the right wing southern nuts who think Rush and Hannity"! Just look at the electroal map!

Young college students and the women of America who are bitter about Hillary's loss, the future of your children is in your hands.You can help to elect the future of this country or help build this country's coffin! America will not survive 4 more years of Bush-McCain doctrine. The choice is yours!

They know that you’re not real happy with them and so the only way they figure they’re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me,” Obama continued, repeating an attack from earlier in the day. “What they’re saying is ‘Well, we know we’re not very good but you can’t risk electing Obama. You know, he’s new, he doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency, he’s a got a funny name.’”

-BINGO–

Poor little Barack! He really whines when he doesn't shine, and he doesn't shine when he whines! What a wimp!

Get a life Obama – grow up. You need to engage with real people. Get off the stage with your one-act drama. It is beyond tiresome!

Senator McCain's ads have been right on!

My prediction right now. Tucker Bounds gets fired. These fools are drinking their own kool-aid or hanging out with backwater extremists who agree with them. This does not reflect the American population.

I know staunch republicans who think Obama is unprepared to be president, but the way McCain is running this campaign is giving them second thoughts.

actually, i think historically the right wing has used scare tactics most of the time

Nothing could be worse then the last eight years. Corruption,lies deceit.. Im not scared to try something new. Hopefully alot of other folks feel the same..Just say no to Bush III.

Where are positive statements about what McCain will do to turn this country around? All he does is criticize, make personal attacks against Obama and run campaign ads that lie about Obama. This is a man of honor? He's not worthy of the presidency.

OOPS HE DID IT AGAIN..... the grumpy old man. Britney and Paris give the old coot $1400. dollars and that is how he treats them. i can not wait too see how desperate that the republicans get this election. Its early and their pathetic.

"You know, he’s new, he doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency, he’s a got a funny name.’”
I thought that Obama was "above" race baiting or playing the race card, but it does illustrate the methods he will use to succeed and to how low he will stoop.
I heard his speech, he said "he did not look like all the other presidents on the dollar bill" but I see why you would fix the story for your messiah Obama, CNN wouldn't want to make him look stupid. (there is only one president on the dollar bill.
BTW I submit every day but never get posted, HMMM wonder why CNN

Jimmy Carter II (aka Hussein) is so over his head right now that it's scary. He's not even qualified to run for president, let alone win it. He's not even qualified as my son's Cub Scout troop. This is a scary, inexperienced ego-driven empty suit. I hope America sees this wannabe for who he really is...NOTHING.

He's right. The Republicans seem to be merely scaring us to vote for McCain. They never give the people a reason to vote for McCain, but rather a reason to NOT vote for Obama.

Obama '08

John,
Your sentence makes about as much sence as McCains tired rants and raves.

John McCain if he would be properly scrutinized, would scare the hell out of everybody. he gets away with gaffe after gaffe. lie after lie. He has no idea what he's doing. He is just going through motions and counting on the corporate run media to cover for him. So far so good. Obama get's 72% negative coverage and is still ahead is almost every poll. Imagine if McCain got that type of scrutiny. Then there would'nt be any news. The media is just trying to keep this close. Maybe they will scrutinize McCain when it gets closer to November.

King Obama (I think that term was used in his year book) is race baiting when he constantly whines about "the other side is trying to scare you about me blah, blah, blah"
For the first time in my adult life...I now believe Senator Obama will loose and it will be because of his ego, not John McCain

McCain keeps looking less and less presidential every day. While it's true... attack ads work (they certainly did against McCain, 8 years ago...), it takes a better man to not succomb to the temptation of using it. Looks like McCain is not a better man.

It really is time for us to pick a better president. Somebody smart for a change... somebody who inspires. Somebody who is not scared of the Republican attack machine.

@John,

It's sad that even when his name is in the article, you still can't spell Barack.

McCain and the Republicans talk about how Democrats don't understand economics and yet Democrats left this administration with a budget surplus.

Now not only do we have a record budget deficit, we also have the worst image we've ever had around the world.

THAT is why Obama is a "celebrity" both here and abroad: people are anxious for the United States to turn the page from this reckless, greedy, self-serving admnistration.

McCain and Co. spout that Obama is against off-shore drilling as though he is evil. The real reason they are angry? Because the greedy oil companies don't want us to discover alternatives to oil. They want to keep us enslaved to fossil fuels regardless of the cost to our economy and our environment. And THEY are the ones who support McCain and the Republicans.

So who should we be afraid of John?

John,

The McCain camapign tactics are so ugly that I am motivated to get as many people registered to vote as I possibly can. It is time to send McCain into retirement so that he can spend some time with his grandchildren. I honestly used to like Senator McCain; however, his nasty campaign tactics have turned me off. I used to think that he was a gentleman. His current behavior is beneath is reputation. What good would it do him to gain the presidency and lose his soul?

King Obama (I think that term was used in his year book) is race baiting when he constantly whines about "the other side is trying to scare you about me blah, blah, blah"

And the McCain camp responds by attacking Obama again. Where are the policy proposals from McCain? What does he support? What does he stand for? Because all I hear from McCain is whining about how he's not as successful as Obama. And when that truth is pointed out to them, all they do is attack again. Go Obama – keep taking the high road and show McCain how to run a campaign with dignity.

a) If you're going to criticize Barack, john, at least spell his name correctly.
b) Fussiness and hysteria? I'm sorry, where was I supposed to see that? Bush and McCain are the ones who create and perpetuate hysteria – the only way they "succeed" as politicians is when their constituents are terrified of every single non-American citizen in the world.

i watched the town hall.spent the entire time talking about solutions to problems.mccain should take note, and stop the attacks,and come up with solutions himself.and not just pandering bs that means nothing.cover the entire earth with your precious oil,until we all drown in it.

What McCain says doesnt scare me barack what you say scares me.

McCain's campaign sounds ridiculous.

Are they serious? Can they really believe they can win with these empty stupid attacks?

Does John McCain actually stand for anything anymore?

McCain knows that when you don't have any answers, it's always easiest to attack your opponent's character regardless of how irrelevant the attack is--I mean, the attack is that Obama is too popular and well-liked by the global population. I fail to see how that has any bearing on his qualification to be President. He might as well attack Obama for wearing striped underwear- it has nothing to do with being President! Admittedly, I think it might actually be refreshing to have a President that is internationally liked and respected but it is irrelevant to our coming election. Who has a better plan? (Well, besides Ron Paul, but that is another issue altogether.)

OBAMA DOES NOT PLAN TO RAISE TAXES ON ENERGY

JOHN ARE YOU FROM WEST VIRGINIA?

McCain is really getting evil.We see what he really is. A below the belt fighter. Dear Lord, let it backfire on him.. Remember WHY it is so important to beat the Republicans. Let us all stand together and WIN. Because Hillary did not win, would you rather have more years of this frightening war? Do you want to worry constantly about losing your home or your job? Do you want more years of high gas prices, and $4.00 a gallon milk? Aren't the worries about our huge deficit more important than the candidate? The loss of allies, the secrecy of this administration,the cover-ups and torture and constantly being lied to? Do you want to allow more terrible things like New Orleans? It was his slow and uncaring action that I criticize. Do you want to have to worry about your Social Security being terminated? McCain wants privatized Social Security. Think what those rich people have already done to the average citizen.That was one of the things Bush wanted . Do you want to continue with the arrogant administration breaking every law in the book , AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT?
DO NOT FOCUS ON ONLY ONE ISSUE. THINK OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE THAT WE WILL GET.

What is scarey is thinking an old man would run this country into a deeper recession. dont let the old man crash the car yet alone the country.

insane in the membrane =McCain

I just had an epiphany. I am sick and tired of hearing from a parade of campaign spokesmen! I SINCERELY HOPE THE POWERS THAT BE AT CNN TAKE NOTE: how about a new rule? If an issue is not worthy of bringing to the actual candidates attention, then it is not worth reporting. If the candidate is not willing to say it themselves, then it is not worth repeating, printing, or reporting. John McCain is on the ballot, and not Tucker Bounds or any other handlers. Are we going to keep complaining about the poltical atmosphere or actually make some reasonable efforts to do something about it?!

The Republicans will still try to play the politics of fear. That is the only modus operandi they know - make the populace afraid, and they will follow like scared sheep - and then wars can be waged, oil companies can benefit and the rich can become even wealthier.

Not this time. America is waking up.... and not liking what the Republican ilk has done to our nation and our world.

Bush and the boys have always wanted us to "Be afraid, be very afraid". If we keep thinking this way, nobody will notice us Republicans doing all the little special favors we have done for our friends...especially in the OIL industry!
Be afraid America and we will all fall in the hands of ill-gotten Republicans!
OBAMA IN 08!

Also, look how divisive the first blogger was...is this the manifestation of Obama's "uniting everyone in common cause"? I don't think calling Republicans "rejects" is the way you bring the country together.

Obama supporters are so blind they don't even realize that THEY are the one's driving the wedge, not "the other side". Haha! IRONY!

Do you think Mr. Obama will ever realize that it is HE who scares us, not "the other side"?

Mr. Obama , you scare me enough.

Yes obama, you are right. People had better be afraid of you. They had better be very afraid of you. You are the worse thing that could ever happen to this country. You're a no nothing that will lie every inch of the way just to get your dirty hands on this country. All you're doing is fakin' it.

You Are So Jealous and A Liar and show very poor judgement in running these ads. You Make Our Politics here in America appear
sophomoric!

What I find interesting is the republicans seemed to have formed a strategy to refer to Barack as a celebrity. Then they find some celebrities that are not well respected lke Britney and Paris and try to force comparisons. It's ridiculous beyond reason. As I recall Reagan was a celebrity.

Yet to see McCain make any statement or ad not mentioning Obama or war/surge.

Old broken record with no ideas...

If you are more popular than they are you are elitist or a celebrity.
Jealousy is an ugly emotion.

john - What does that mean? When you cannot even express yourself clearly on a simple message board, it is a good sign that the convictions behind the grammar are also skewed.

The other side (pssst...Republicans) are really scared.

The golden test of credibility is that when you don't have anything positive to say about you, then you spend your time (and money) saying negative things about the others. That's old Karl Rove tactics used by Bush 2000 and Bush 2004.

Another proof that McCain=McBush.

Same old candidate
Same old politics,
same old tactics,
same failed policies.

McSame as Bush 2008

This is Democrats practicing verbal terrorism.

Phillip,

Maybe you should learn to read and write before you make any comments if you want anyone to listen to what you have to say.

Wise words John. Honestly, can you say to yourself that you think we're better now than we were 8 years ago? Can you honestly say this administration has done anything good? Can you honestly say that a McCain administration would be grossly different? The choice is obvious to anyone that's even modestly honest with themselves. It's the close minded individuals that are making up reasons to justify their stale opinions.

John

You really should pay attention, before you attempt to engage your brain cell.

scared? no it's lack of experience and por judgment.
obama wants us to run our cars and heat our homes on water and air while he rides around in a fleet of limos with armed guards and private jets.

he's very, very important. ask him why?

SCARE TATICS HAS BEEN THIS ADMINISTRATION'S SOLE PURPOSE. IT HASN'T WORKED, WILL NOT WORK. PEOPLE ARE TOO SMART TO BELIEVE THE BS HAS BEEN THROWN AT THEM FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS. I THINK THE IMPORTANT THING IS FOR THE AMERICAM PEOPLE TO CONSIDER WHRE ALL THE TRASH IS COMING FROM.
MR. OBAMA, JUST HANG IN THERE, KEEP ON THE HIGH ROAD.
YOU WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
YES WE CAN

The reason McCain keeps talking about Obama is because the media is in love with him and will never report on all the negative surrounding Obama. On the other side of it, Obama doesn't need to run negative ads about McCain because the media does them for him. Obama is nothing more than a creation of the media. How else could somebody with no experience and no accomplishments be in such a rosey situation?

I am afraid that OB is a lot of show and no go. He looks good and he sounds good, but as we all know that doesn't get the job done. It is the same retoric as always from the far left. Promise everything and raise taxes on the rich to get the vote. We end up paying for it.

Barack, Who is scaring who??

Barack Obama....don't you think Americans pay enough tax as it is?

Obama start acting like a potential POTUS and not a spoiled brat. Nice suttle race baiting to.

"Fussiness and hysteria" sounds like something my grandma would say. Is McCain's spokesman as old as his boss?

i asked my two kids (8 & 10) who would win and without skipping a beat they both said "Barack Obama" . One said
he has a cool name and the other said he knows what he's talking about. interesting.

We are not afraid of McCain or Bush any more, they are old men with old ideas to old problems...

Obama Mia is here!!!!

People have noticed that Obama says ‘Yes, we can’ but all his policies towards energy independence lead to ‘No, we can’t’.
1) No new nuclear energy
2) No coal mining (even when US coal reserves are more than oil reserves in any part of the world, please look at statistics)
3) No lower taxes
4) He hasn’t said of any solution to raise the value of dollar.

So basically Obama;s ‘Yes we can’ = No, we can’t’

Young people who are following him as a Pied Pier need to know this. He is not the president for us when the country is in recession. He may be good but he needs more experience.

Oh! CNN will not post this note and it will always remain in moderation! Way to go CNN. So much for the first ammendment!

Is this what McCain's attacks have been reduced to. Barack Paris Spears Obama.

Pathetic.

McSame`s plan delivers oil in 10 years – and very little – more in 20 years .............. people do your homework.

Dear John

How about using a comma somewhere in your sentence. Then you might make some sense. I know you are new to the internets and googles, but punctuation still counts.

I hope your wife and kids are well. I heard McCain junior got booted off the golf team at school. He never was too bright, they call it autism now. It's the latest rage.

Well gotta go, good luck with the whole president thing.

P.S. Me and the wife are voting for the dark fellow, sorry. Hey, you guys are still welcome for christmas.

I can't believe the petty language the McCain camp is using in its rebuttals. There isn't even the PRETENCE of respect for the opponent – and this after swearing up and down that McCain would lead a decent, honorable campaign.

Obama - you scare me all by yourself. And I know that in my GUT!

dear john,
what's so scary about mr obama? is it his name? his look?the fact that he wants to give everyone a fighting chance? what chaps like you fail to realize is that we are all in this together! there's no avoiding it! people who have been largely ignored because they ostensibly had nothing to offer have been quietly going about their business and would you believe it, they are in a position to make a difference! go figure!the human mind is the darndest thing! it always finds a way! wake up john. he may be a "politician" but mr obama has what it takes to inspire the world to embark on a path that will take us to what some refer to as the promised land. believe it.
peace.

The republicans are on their last leg. They aren't going out without a fight but they will lose.

Go Obama!

John, try using punctuation in your sentences so you don't sound like an unintelligent idiot; or perhaps you can't help yourself for that very reason..

The other side doesn't scare me Senator Obama, you scare me. It has nothing to do with your race, your Christian faith, anything except the fact that you are a demagouge with no answers and followers who frighten me even more than you do. I can see a point in America if you are elected President that debate will be stifled because partisanship will be frowned upon and an obedient Congress will give you what you want. No thanks, Senator, I happen to like the Bill of Rights so I will not vote for you.

I know who I am voting for:

NONE OF THE ABOVE !

Createing fear of Minorities has been a great way to keep control for so long how can you think they will stop now? FEAR ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LOOK LIKE "US"

Worked against the Native Americans , Blacks, Asians, Mexicans, Latinos and when they DO look like " US" Then Don't trust THEM because they have an ACCENT!

IQ's are alarmingly low in this country. Is that why Public education has been Gutted and IGNORED by the GOP??

John, man oh man, there is no limit for an idiot. How low can you go?

ABOUT TIME OBAMA!!!!!!!

Yes – nice back-hand-slap to the media for them to talk about our issues!!!

Thanks Obama – you took the words out of my mouth!!!

The GOP - knows they have screwed us and messed up every thing and... we are in Iraq.

Go get 'em Bam!

The only people who are afraid of the Obama presidency are those that have been brainwashed by the republicans over the last eight years. Don't let Fox news tell you what to think! Open your mind. Consider your options. We are working toward a better America and a better world. It is an option, you know.

john July 30th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Barak what you don't get is that the other side doesn't scare you do
**************************

I beg to differ, Republicans have been scared ever since Barack decided to run, that is why they preferred Hillary to win...and Republicans tought it would be a cakewalk...then boing!!! Barack Obama is strong!

Oh please Obama brought this on himself with his entourage of press following him all over Europe and the Middle East.

Tucker Bounds is an idiot – guess the employee apple doesn't fall far from the boss tree.

And, what you don't get John is, it shouldn't be about any American being scared of someone who would willingly attempt to take on the HUGE problems the republicans left this country with. Senator Obama truly loves his country and knows that when he is elected he will impelemnt policies and changes to bring about a better America for all people and he won't have to use scare tactics to get people to follow him. He's genuine and sincere.

Now on the other hand, if you and the rest of the Senator Obama haters haven't been scared by the failed policies of President Bush, the total lack of respect and disregard for the constitution each time Bush changes it to meet his needs, the "non-performance" of John McCain who has been in politics for over 30 years and has done nothing of significance to improve the U.S.A. BUT VOTED FOR A WAR WE DIDN'T NEED TO GET INVOLVED IN, and who has spent all of his time talking about Senator Obama instead of telling America what he's planning on doing to help fix this mess he and the republicans have gotten us into, then YOU'RE AN IDIOT AND NEED TO TAKE THOSE BLINDERS OFF OF YOUR EYES. IMAGINE A SUPPOSEDLY GROWN MAN TALKING ABOUT BEING AFRAID OF ANOTHER MAN! It's as Senator Obama says, "same old politics of fear". But in this case, be scared of the big Black man, cause you know Black people are scarey anyway. RIDICULOUS!

Obama is ALWAYS attacking the wrong things and NEVER disclosing anything at the same time and he has the cult followers who think he is smart.

Want to know why he is smart? Because the cult is stupid.

He always whines and complains, attacks instead of saying anything about the issues but that is OK . The Press and his cult followers are so stupid they don't know a enough to ask him to say something concrete.

He will probably get into the White house on the stupid ticket.

Obama is the one Scary, Scary, Scary

Never Obama Osama Never for president of this great country,
He can be president of his father land if he wants, but never for America.

It looks like the entire Hillary campaign management has taken over for McCain. They led her to defeat with repititious remarks aboutEXPEIRIENCE AND the fact he is an EXCELLENT ORATOR.
What they can't seem to understand is expirience is not a good word, because we are tired of all this experience that has led us into this mess we live with now. A great orator is someone who inspires and lifts our hopes. Not only here in America, but all over the world. So keep slamming Obama because we need all the help you can give us.

I say let Mr. McCain keep it up. His disorganized, unfocused campaign should continue doing exactly waha their doing. It will continue to draw the starkest contrasts between the two candidates. The American people, at least the ones not completely fooled by this silliness, are intelligent enough to weekdout the garbage and figure out what McCain REALLY plans to do for the country. THEN, Obama will win by a landslide in November. So McCain, please keep crucifying your own campaign by making these idiotic commercials, statements and attacks. Sir, you have no honor. And the POW stuff will only get you so far.

Phillip from Monterey, CA, right on. Your post is dead on. Mcsame and the republicans are looking weak as dirt right now. I guess they are jealous that Obama is popular all over the world unlike McPain.

To John: Trust what I say "Senator Obama has no fear of the other side" (his run with Hillary Clinton proved that). What he is aware of, 'the public will take a little something-run with it' (whether it's right or wrong).

I'm not scared of the Republican fear and smear kind of old style politics trying to win their vote by scaring the American people by lying to them about terrerism and other stuffs. The American people are now aware of the Republican as well as the McBush campaign lifestyles, sucks. Not any my friends, not any more.. Obama for president!

I would like to remind Senator McCain that victory in Iraq has already been achieved. May 1, 2003, on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, under a banner saying "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED," President Bush announced that combat operations in Iraq have ended. Bush said; "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed

Bounds is a Riot. His description of Obama as Fussy. Exactly describes his old, bitter, fussy boss, McLame.

Actually, Barack Paris Obama, McCain has some very legitimate criticisms to which you have been unable to respond because you are unwilling to listen to the American people (energy, the surge, etc.). Whining that "ooh the other side is trying to make me look scary because I'm black" just proves that you are indeed a celebrity, but probably more airheaded than most Hollywood types.

john your a loser .your scared of obama because he is black if not tell me why he scare you.

YOU GOoooo BARACK OBAMA !!!

CNN is so in the tank for McCain.. They will be responsible for every dangerous mistakes he makes, if he wins...

yes we belive you obama .the republicans want to scare us but it will not work this time.

obama for president.

I'm a republican and am soooo ashamed of the ads and McCain. Go Obama!

This celebrity stuff is really stupid and totally unconstructive. I'm interested in McCain and open to listening but there is no discourse here.

I'm loosely pro-obama and this made me click though to the Obama website and cough up $75.

John,
Your statement is illogical.

Actually Mr. Obama you and way to left ideas are scary enough

People look at what John McCain is doing. This is a war hero?! Whining and complaining about Obama everyday like a little girl. Why isn't he man enough to keep his word about not doing negative ads.

Obama is a real man and the world knows it. Literally the "world" knows it. I had one gentle from Germany comment that Obama embodies both JFK/MLK.

Don't let the Republicans scare you from receiving a better future in a country more loved around the world because of Barack Obama.

I really hope McCain doesn't win in November. That will be so depressing.

I don't know about everyone else, but I know what Mssame is for. One word, WAR WAR WAR WAR. I am beginning to fell very sorry for Mcsame. I think he is mentally unfit, and his camp is starting to think so to.

John, what??
Mccain is spending all his time on the attack, because he has no answers and is afraid.

John McCain just doesn't have anything left to work with. He is so joined at the hip with the Bush administration that ridiculous scare tatics and adds is all camp McCain can come up with.....boo..hoo...hoo

I made a mistake in my earlier post. John McCaine's lifetime missed vote average is 63.3 percent, not 83.3. typo

**

Big Mc attack

looks more like a whiner

in a repulican nation of whiners...

**

But don't take too many blows.

Today was a good response. Especially when it is clear he stooped way low.

It's simply amazing to me that McCain would continue with similar Rovian tactics used to elect Bush. Granted, it worked.... twice. But really it has become more transparent as time has gone on. I respect Obama for calling it what it is, quickly.

So McCain has one big answer to the high gas prices.... drill. It's pretty well known that oil co.s are not drilling on most of the land they lease currently and that even if more drilling areas were opened tomorrow it would do little to nothing to lower the price of oil.

But this is what republicans do, they keep repeating something, even if it is untrue in hopes that enough Americans will believe it. Worked for Iraq. Some people still believe that Iraq had something to do with Sept. 11th attacks even though that has been thoroughly disproved. But Cheney and others in Bush's admin said it over and over again until enough people believed it just because they heard it so many times. I don't know how they sleep at night knowing all the deaths and destruction they caused. America turned out to be the only ones with WMDs the day we invaded and occupied Iraq.

So they're at it again. Repetitious lies to gain control.

I'd like to have faith that America has woken up a bit and will see through these tactics. A fair amount won't but hopefully they'll stay home on election day.

America is a frustrating place to be even with all it has going for it. Truth will set us free..... once again.

That's all McCain knows how to do. Attack, attack, attack, drill, drill and drill. He doesn't have any new intiative. What an old bag of ideas.

Hey spokesman Tucker Bounds, are you a moron? John McPain's plan is to do the same old thing we've been doing for years, drilling and drilling. There's what, 68 million acres or something we can drill in and Bush wants to drill in the wildlife reserve areas? Either way you look at it, this isn't going to solve our energy problems. This is just a band-aid that McPain is offering. We need more than a band-aid, we need a full operation. Tucker and the rest of your camp, you surely are out of ideas with your latest attack.

Obama, don't continue to fool yourself as you have no plan either. No drilling, no nuclear power, no clean coal, just alternative energy like wind which requires back up power in the event there is no wind that day. Also it takes like 700 wind power generators to make the same power as 1 nuclear power plant.

Change is what I will have in my savings account once Obama is in office.

All I hear from Obama is fear and scare tactics he blurbs out regarding the Republican party.

That's the way to handle it Barack! Call attention to how silly and baseless these accusations are without responding in kind.
The Republicans trot the attack dogs out every election for one reason, the politics of fear and smear work. But this time thye are just looking sillier and more pathetic by the moment and sooner or later people will realize it. Right now the polls are close because the trick has been working with a lot of people. However when people realize they are being lied to and manipulated ...again, their anger will be something to behold.
One of the recent fabrications is the statements of how many votes Obama has a 43.3 percent missed record. What they don't say is that McCain missed 334 votes for a 61.8 percent, actaully down from his lifetime record of 83.3 percent.

No Obama i'm already afraid of you and afraid of the fact that your wife might become the First Lady of the United States, now that's scary!!!!!

He's the one you need to be afraid of!!!!

Obama now, Obama after now because we can not afford mcsane!

What a surprise, Obama plays the race card again, insinuating that McCain is trying to scare voters because Obama "doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency". That's ridiculous!!

Obama IS scary due to his LACK of EXPERIENCE and his overblown EGO. Has nothing to do with his skin color.

BTW - McCain has been out doing town halls with VOTERS for weeks - talking about his ideas and what he has to offer...answering all questions that come his way. UNLIKE OBAMA!

The other side absolutely scares people. It's how they won in 2004. It's not going to work this time because the American people are smarter than that. We are going to take our country back, and John, George and their cronnies will not stop us.

Obama 08

Does anyone seriously think that drilling for oil that you won't receive until 10 years from now is going to help anything. Switching from oil to alternative fuels that's what will really bring the pice down, and it will do it way with 10 years. Come on people "THINK."

Yes Obama! Your supporters feel exactly the same way that you do and it's great to know you agree with us! Fear mongering is what RepubliCANTS do best....we just have to ignore them, stick with our gut and believe in change!

Obama 08!

LOL, calling BO a celebrity, I did not see McWar complain when he had his 5 mins of fame when he came back from Vitenam.

Tucker Bounds is too noisy.

"Oil rose more than $4 a barrel on Wednesday after U.S. government data showed an unexpected drop in gasoline stocks as suppliers facing weak consumer demand cut production and imports."

Well, there it is, folks. We slow down and drive less, the inventory of gasoline increases, prices drop, and the refineries cut production. That in turn bumps the price of oil, which in turn will drive prices up.

WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE??! And where are the Republicans who should be investigating this blatant price manipulation? Oh, that's right: They, and McCain, are in the pockets of the oil barons.

THE MAN IS A GENIUS! Alwasy beating McCain to the punch before he puts his gloves on.

Ok McCain. You've got all this money to blow on commercials. Why don't you spend some of it detailing what you have to offer. Tell me what you are for PLUS how you're gonna do it. Tell me how you are going to fix the economy after 8 years of a Republican President running us into a ditch. Tell me how you are going to protect what's left of our preserved lands and tell me the honor in leaving our protected habitat in better shape for future generations. Explain to me how you are going to pay off the gaping hole of debt. Tell me why I should vote for you. I only want to hear about you from you.

What is all this "us" and "them" talk from Obama? I thought we were moving into new politics.. bipartisan... politics based on what's best for the country, not 'us' and 'them.'

What irks me the most about Obama is this "holier than thou" attitude he has about everything.

I could really give two craps about our 2 political parties at this point. I wish they would just talk about ISSUES. that's what we care about... not this name calling; i'm cooler than you GARBAGE.

McCain is sounding crazier and crazier. I am starting to think he is worst than Bush.

What exactly are you policy plans obama? Seem to Change daily to suit your own political needs. Obama is an Arrogant, Radical Fraud – I will not vote for him and Millions of Americans feel the same way.

I felt sorry and angry when Bush unfairly lied and falsey attacked McCain back in 2000. Now we see McCain using the exact same tactics that were immoral then just as much as they are now. What happened to McCain? He even unfairly attacked Mitt Romney calling him a flip-flopper over and over again. Now he wants him to be his VP? But he was just attacking him and calling him a flip-flopper 3 months ago. I still very sorry for McCain but in the same context. Now I feel sorry for him because of the person he has evolved into in just 7 short years. He will not get my vote. I am truly disappointed.

Barak what you don't get is that the other side doesn't scare you do.

go figure...
i mean come on mcsame and the rejects i mean republicans are looking very weak at the moment i mean for real are these type of attacks all they think of ? they belittle him for being a well like world figure (you would think its a good thing for the president aka the most powerful man on the planet to be well liked abroad) they say he is getting all this "great " media coverage but he is getting mostly negative air time with the media and mcsame is getting by fair mostly positive media coverage . they say he " snubbed" the troops in germany but mccains voting record shows he voted against 9 bills that would have improved life for wounded vets, ed benefits, housing etc, so who really snubbed the troops? he argues about the surge working, ofcourse it had a good effect anytime we put that many american troops anywhere in the world they are going to kick but , but at the same time what is this " victory " that mcsame is talking about this war has dragged on for too long, too many american lives have been lost, and its killing our economy and to think we should have never been their (just like sen obama said go figure) . and lets not forget that mcsame is jumping on the bandwagon on sen obamas ideas ie more troops in afghanastan, the " timetable" of troop withdrawl. so the rep have been throwning all this negative crap and nothing sticks but they would much rather sling mud and not have it stick than talk about issues... go figure
