He kept taking it from Clinton in the primaries and was always on the defensive, never truly going offensive. so why not start putting McCain to rest... might as well start with McCain's recent flipflopping issues... it worked for the GOP against Kerry. Lets rip them with their own treatment. Then again, maybe we're above that. Obama needs to start making headway after his trip. He cannot keep riding the wave of the trip's success . He must get out there and start pressing the issues again. This is the only reason the polls have slipped slightly. Whatever happens, There are less than 100 days left. Time to put this one in the history books with action, and not only proclamation. republicans attacking again. but, I think Obama needs to start calling against McCain.

Does Obama's real change mean the Democratic Party will become fiscally responsible? Does his change mean the Democratic Party will protect the lives of the unborn? Does it mean the Democratic Party will be less focused on political correctness and more focused on understanding that while America is a land of immigrants we're all Americans and not hyphenated Americans? I'm a liberal but certainly not the Nancy Pelosi type of leftist. Real change would mean an end to discriminatory affirmative action, an end to the Democratic Party's support for abortion in every circumstance and an end to feel-good government polices will never work because they violate the basic principles on which this country was founded. Real change?

Just who do these people think is the cause of this mess?Do they actually believe that McCain will truly be any different? If they do, then by all means vote for him. But be warned......I hope you can live with your vote.Be very careful what you wish for.

Obama throughout the primaries said he had confidence in the American people that they would not be side tracked by non-issues and that the old style politics would not work this time. I'm afraid he was wrong. Let's say(for argument) he was in fact arrogant, how does that detract from his capabilities? Are arrogant people bad people? Is arrogance the single issue on which one would make their voting decision? There are things about our best friends that we don't like. Are we saying then that we're only going to vote for someone we like absolutely everything about? This comment like so many others have been taken out of context.

I guess since there was no photo op for him then they weren't worth his time. That's not the type of President I want. I will be voting for McCain. He might not be the best speaker in the world but atleast he's honest and real. Not like the puppet Obama.

Then once the target does or says something in anyway that can be seen as being overconfident, they use that to cause the undecided who barely know the person to agree as well and then they sit back and say "See I told you so". That is the tactic used against Barrack as they can't find much fault in him and since so many love him, they try to use that in a negative light and cause the undecided to hate on him for no reason whatsoever. If America becomes more concerned with voting for a President that can best get the job done than one whom they could see themselves having a drink with then we would be much better off.
