CNN

Obama will put this country into a depression. Why do you believe Obama uses negative approaches. That is his way of solving a problem. Don't meet a problem directly, but hedge around and the problem just might go away.

HEY WHERE'S THE PIG ????

Matt August 8th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

More juvenile, ignorant Obama supporters remarks.

Is Obama proud to be propped up by a bunch of derelicts???

_____________________________________________________
Matt...please you getting your wittle feelings hurt???? whaa whaa whaaa...seriously Matt do you really want me to pull up some of your prior comments posted on this site...if you cant take it, don't try and give it

I HAVE TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST !!!!

WHAT WAS JOHN THINKING ????

LADY LOOKS LIKE A DUDE &

NOT A GOOD LOOKING ONE AT THAT !!!!

Why is Michelle Obama's picture in this article?

When Cheney is speaking at the RNC, I hope he will be able to hear Rage Agains the Machine playing their anti-government militant rhetoric across the river! It's going to be OFF THE HOOK!

PUT THE PICTURE BACK, OR WE WILL GO TO FOX !!!!!

PUT THE PICTURE BACK, OR WE WILL GOT TO FOX !!!!!

poor Iowa, first the floods and now McShame is there

Put the picture back CNN !!!!! Truth in advertising ha ha ha ha ha

Perfect – the biggest HOG of them all – musta found that one at the HOG RALLY in Sturgis – offered his wife for topless contest.

Looks like he brought the winner home with him.

Where's your sense of humor?

Thats not a picture of McCain is it? (I know bad joke)

CNN!! Put back the picture of the pig. Don't be bullied by the shameless GOP!

Obama!!!!!!!!!
People around the world love you and pray for american people.

Sorry McCain, but State Fairs ARE NOT what America is all about. Your perception of America is antiquated. Please at least try to bring yourself up-to-date. I am not at all surprised the hog slept through your visit.

McCain needs to get back to Ohio, Nevada, or Missouri. He has no chance in Iowa this year. Montana and Indiana are looking tough for him this time around.

that picture is the PERFECT descriptions of Senator McCain's campaign thus far.

So I make my comments.... Away-to-go John... They will miss you, if they don't choose you.. "Why"? "Why"? How could I be this stupid! They will say...
You will be surounded, John in 2009; if you lose this election.. "History say's it all"... "None so Blind"....

McAttack .......The pig find you boring and will sleep this one OUT !!
Even the pig refuse your Slop.........OLD HOG JAW !!!

This picture is right before McCain slaps the lipstick on it.

He can't attract an audience so now he going to where the audience is but this time their animals. He is getting truly desperate.

Why a pig picture? How about one of him? Bias? Maybe!

It's like when Galludet University selected a president who couldn't sign. She was clearly not the right person for the job. The kids stood up and said no, we want someone who understands us.

So in the 21st century, why would we pick a president who can't use the internet. He couldn't respond to me as I'm blogging now, because he's still on 20th century time.

Barack is just one man, and he doesn't have all the answers, but at least he knows it'll take more than one person to get this country back on track. McCain acts like some Napoleon, who doesn't want to listen to anybody.

where sleeping pig lies, or when john Mccain lies.
oh all the same pigheaded views.

No one with common sense would vote for 8 more years of the same

good for you? but where your piture with the....

Tell me it's not true.....is that McWar having a nap?

Bill Clinton is upset with Barack because Barack's followers listened to him (Bill). So don't blame Barack for the race card, that's racist to think that Barack supporters can't think for themselves.

We listened to you Bill, and we concluded that your words were racist. So if you want to blame someone (which is a lot of nerve), blame the ones who heard you loud and clear, not Barack.

Are you a racist? Who knows, who cares? Most of us are judging you on your actions, not your words.

What a fitting photo to go with the article. You've added Karl Rove trying the view from behind bars. Kudos to your photo editors.

Obama makes me think, McCain makes me think about being old.

Did you see the opening of the Olympics? America needs to step up her game. I don't see the wrinkley, grey-hair dude setting a new and exciting course for America. For goodness sake he's just learning how to use the internet.

cnn!why no story on DHL, and mccain and rick davis?not news?10,000 jobs are going to be lost in ohio,because mccain and davis lobbied for foreign sale of company!and cnn says nothing.you are no better than FOX!

Good name"Freight Train McCain".

Just saw the McCain ad where you see all these democrats praising him, his campaign might not have the money Obama has but he does have smarter ads. But then again Obama is a fake and there's nothing much he can do but lie about everything, while McCain has dems praising him on how honest he is.

looks like the fat pigs that the GOP is always bending the rest of America over for.

Another populist moment brought to you by the guy who claimed that the sound of "50,000 Harleys" running high on idle is "the sound of freedom" (rather than the sound of gas wasted, air polluted, and stupidity rampant).

MATT,

LISTEN DARLING.

YOU SHOULD PICK UP A NEW HOBBY, THINKING.

READING WILL HELP YOU A GREAT DEAL WITH THAT

NEW ADVENTURE. I AM SURE YOU WERE BORN THINKING,

THEN SOMETHING JUST PUT OUT THE FIRE.

OBAMA STATISTICALLY ATTRACTS MORE THAN 65%

OF EDUCATED PEOPLE. AND YOUR CANDIDATE

MADE PUTIN PRESIDENT OF GERMANY. EVEN YOU

WILL HAVE TO ADMIT, HE IS A MORON.

I like how he just had to add the "my friends" in at the end of his sentence. I feel like he's a spokesman or something that is contractually obligated to use the phrase a minimum of 10 times. Like "Do the Dew".

Not mentioned in the story, the hog OWNED McCain't on energy policy almost as thoroughly as Paris did.

That pig isn't flying, so it appears that I'm not voting for this knob.

Um, Matt, we are far from ignorant.

McCain visits the swine barn and says this is what America is all about? Priceless!

I like the picture! the caption should read-
"McCain at the state fair bores his audience, as usual"

More juvenile, ignorant Obama supporters remarks.

Is Obama proud to be propped up by a bunch of derelicts???

I do not care what McBush is up to today! All along I have been respectful of McCain because of his age and service to our Nation........ but when I say the article about the "Anti-Christ ad" ......... I AM DISGUSTED!

WHY IS MCCAIN SINKING TO SUCH A LOW? AS A CHRISTIAN, IAM SICKENED BY THE GOP BELIEVING THAT THEY ARE THE OLNY ONES WHO KNOW AND LOVE CHRIST!

I PRAY, WITH ALL MY HEART THAT THIS AD WILL BACKFIRE ON MCBUSH....... YES, MCBUSH........HE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN BUSH/CHENEY WHO ARE EVIL MEN!

SHAME ON YOU, GOP!

"Pig" rushes to meet pig at Iowa State Fair – how appropriate...

THAT HOG WOULD MAKE A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN

MCMORON. AT LEAST IT WON'T TELL US ANY LIES,

OR START ANY MORE WARS. AND IT'S ECONOMIC

PLAN WOULD RIVAL MCSENILE'S ANY DAY & TWICE

ON SUNDAY. HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE ECONOMY.

There are many people who are influenced by outrageous lie that Obama is tied to terrorists. I would like to for any one to tell me when have you seen a black man blow himself up for the sake of a religion.

It really is silly season.

Obama 08

So Barack stutters, at least he doesn't lie. He can stutter til the cows come home, as long as what comes out of his mouth is the truth.

John opens his mouth and Bush's words come out.

O/08

Reality hurts. John McCain and his campaign manager, Rick Davis, had helped facilitate a merger involving DHL that could result in the loss of thousands of jobs in Ohio.

McCain supporters, like the candidate himself, do not want to talk about issues. They're full of distractions. Just look at the comments posted under that article. They're sulking in bliss of denial and delusion with comments like..."Obama can't blame McCain for this...talk about Kwame Kilpatrick.....Obama's going to cost Ohio more with his tax and spend policies.....Obama's an empty suit....."

RUN FOR THE HILLS NEOCONS AND PUMAS....RUN!!!

DOESN'T THAT HOG HAVE THAT MCSENILE LOOK

ON IT'S FACE, KIND-OF DAAAAAHHHHH?????

The Farmer in the Dell:

First we had the cheese, now we have the ham.

O/08

John McCain going to the fair is pretty appropriate since McCain is acting like a pig. The only difference is, the pig smells better.

McCain is so jealous that he Must hunt around for crowds like here & Harley affair. Keep focusing the gaffs are coming

McCain in the Swine Barn.

Makes sense, given the kind of campaign he is running.

I am surprised McCain didn't start talking about how much he enjoy s beef, you know, pandering for the pig vote....

Someone needs to tell McCain that WE have moved onto the INTERNET (S) and THAT is what it is all about. Not the County fair soap box. Now wonder he is so stuck in the past. then again... The MSM keep trumpeting EVERY thing he does everyday EXCEPT his Daily Gaffs

THE SWINE BARN IS EXACTLY WHERE MCCAIN BELONGS......ESPECIALLY AFTER THE COMMERCIALS HE'S BEEN APPROVING LATELY !!!!!!

ADMIN

Move the pic off of photobucket pls, I can't see it at work grrr.

This is the kind of thing that a president should be doing, addressing the backbone of the country. Obama is so far out of touch with reality it's not even funny.

mccsame was in a cage in the sideshow growling and barking like in nam

Thanks for the best picture of McCain napping yet! Now with Mr. Obama off the pages we can focus on more of the slop and grunt Grampy and his pig sty have to offer the nation.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and then some.

"Barack Obama does nothing but hide from the American people and from the media as much as possible" says one poster. So why are so many people suppposedly sick of seeing or hearing him? By the way, you can't be everywhere all the time.

And the hog says, 'Oh John, it's you. I'll sleep this one out". From one "bore" to another.

This guy's a looser, plain & simple. The republican's offered him up just like they offered up Dole when Clinton ran for re-election. However, McCain has allowed his people to stoop far lower than even Rove and Bush did. Instead of saying the "right" thing "Barack Obama is not the ANTI CHRIST", they've put out an ad encouraging it.

Obama continues to stay on message. His ads and speaches focus on his plans for the future. His crowds turn out in record numbers. McCain, on the other hand, shows up where a crowd has already been manufactured and he slams his opponent. This reveals his desperation and lack of integrety. I'm glat the good people of Iowa are smarter than he thinks they are.

Ha, even the hog slept through McCain's speech.

Q: How do you know you're boring?
A: Barn animals fall asleep during your speeches.

John McCain next to a picture of a resting pig think of the caption possiblies

Wow is this an article on McCain!!? The liberal media is always so busy covering Obama, and not because he's more news worthy as you democrats claim, but because they want him in office like all other dems. The media makes everything that Obama touches seem like gold, and everything McCain touches seem outrageous (and not in a good way).

I bet the pig can lead better than McCrap!!

Biker Rally, Iowa State Fair, what's next a Punk Rock concert? I guess we're all McCain's "friends", too bad he won't find friends in Iowa in this election. We've grown tired of the GOP in Iowa.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Having yet to post any of my posts concerning Edwards.

I there ANY candidate, running for President now who hasn't had an affair on his wife?

What a bunch of honorable, family value, moral men we have running.

That pig reminds me of the pork barrel Democratic congress. McCain needs to do what Harry Truman did in 1948 and run against an obstructive congress. Nancy Pelosi is making it easy for him with her unwillingness to let any energy vote come to the floor while people are hurting at the pump.

... he's in good company with the swine.

What is the difference between a McCain and Edwards, they all cheated on their wifes...but one is running for president whilst the other is not.

It sad when you can put a HOG to sleep, the Hog look like he is saying "I can't listen to this anymore.

McCain " marched to one of "favorite spots to visit in this whole fair," the vast and malodorous Swine Barn, where he observed "Freight Train," a champion Yorkshire boar from Webster City that weighs 1,259 pounds. The hog slept through McCain's visit."
*********
Somehow neither surprises me.

I am certainly not voting for McCain, but not subsidizing corn-based ethanol is one issue on which we agree.

Corn is probably the WORST source for ethonol and biofuel. It requires large amounts of energy, water, pesticides and fertilizers to produce.

Shifting government subsidies from oil corporations to agri-corporations will simply create new problems and put our independence in the hands of other corporations.

We are not truly free until our government ends corporate welfare.

Go John–keep to the issues and facts. After all most of those are a matter of public record.
Oh..and don't let the DHL thing get you down–most of us realize that the biz world has changed a lot since 2003 when you promoted this deal–rising fuel costs, natural industry consolidation–and now actual contraction–could not be predicted. We all know that despite Obama's jibes.

A lot of us–including Freight train--are with you buddy!!

Wow... what a great picture of McCain.. he's looking much healthier. Oh wait! That's the hog at the state fair

Hey quit dissing McCain! 200,000 pigs showed up to hear his speech at the Iowa State fair.

Boy!! Al Gore is really starting to pork out now...

WAY TO GO MCCAIN YOU MAKE THE PIGS SLEEP. I THINK ITS GREAT. THEY EVEN FEEL COMFTABLE WITH YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Mcshame will need a ride back on this FRIEGHT TRAIN after nov. OBAMA 08

"This agricultural products in the state of Iowa can feed the world and we're not afraid to compete with anybody in the world, my friends," he said.
_____

Why would we be AFRAID to compete with corn? What is McCain talking about?

John McCain does well among bikers and carnies.

Got out of Ohio just in time, before he was exposed by the Obama campaign for his complicity in the whole DHL thing. Better keep moving McCain.......the minute you slow down, people might start taking a serious look at that record of yours.

McCain may need those farm animals to get him elected

Call John McCain whatever you like, but he is meeting real Americans on a daily basis.

Barack Obama does nothing but hide from the American people and from the media as much as possible.

Had it not been for the invention of the teleprompter, Barack Obama would have nothing coherent to say... "uh, uh, uh... ah. uh, uh..."

Give me a break.

Knoxville

The Russians are reestablishing the Soviet Union while we are focused on the Olympics and John Edwards. Give me a break! We need to get out of Iraq now. We need to get Ukraine into NATO ASAP.

Germans invaded Poland and the world just watched it happen. Now the Russians invade Georgia. This can not stand!

The pig tells the whole story, auk auk oooooooooooooo good night.
To boring for me.

Have any of you hate and name calling bloggers ever met McCain? Have you ever so mush as touched his hand in a freindly handshake?
The same goes for you angry people who write terrible things about Obama. You have no idea what the person you hate so much is really like. As a qualified physcologist (I am not really but it sounds important) I say your anger and hate springs from a total lack of your ability to compete on an intelectual level so you scream out this hate nonsense to see your name in print. If it is stupid enough and off the wall, CNN will probaly print it.

after sturgis,i think john should quit crashing other people's parties.they are trying to celebrate ,in iowa.why politicize it?obama is winning there ,anyway.

If he can't bring the crowds to where he is, he'll go find one!!! LOL

OBAMA '08

Obama on vacation?

Didn't this "my friends" crap go away with used car salesmen in the 1940s?

So, folks who do not attend town fairs and bike rides are not the 'real americans'? Those who are too busy working, planing, trying to help others find a better way... you are not reaching out to them. Guess you can't keep up with the real 'real Americans'.

Obama in the clown dunking booth would have been much more exciting!

McCain loves pigs. Elect him, and all the big business hogs will be invited to White House sty to roll around in your tax dollars. Now if we can get a photo of McCain with that "fat cat" that was in the news recently, we'll have the total picture of a McCain presidency.

Funny McCain doesn't mention the "beer" provided "all over the world". Oh I forgot, that's an exemption.

C'mmon CNN , I JUST SAW TEH MCCAIN ADD ON YOUR WEB PAGE AND IM SURE WHEN YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT IT IN YOUR NIGHT SHOWS, U;RE GONNA OFFER THE SAME OL' "HEAR D CANDIDATES IN THEIR WORDS , YOU JUDGE FOR YOURSELF" OK, WE DO THAT ALREADY BUT CAN YOU CALL THE CANDIDATES OUT WHEN THEY'RE LYING, SERIOSULY, THAT IS YOUR JOB...DO IT INSTEAD OF JUST "PRETENDING" TO BE UNBIASED AND STAYING ON THE SIDELINES. EVEN IF ITS OBAMA, CALL HIM OUT, AS LONG AS ITS EQUAL AND TO BE HONEST. THIS MCCAIN'S AD IS ALL BULL AND ITS ALL BIAS IF YOU DONT CALL HIM OUT..."OBAMA RAISING TAXES ON PEOPLE WITH $42000 INCOME...COMMON THAT IS JUST AN OUTRIGHT LIE. MCCAIN HAS BEEN A GETTING A FREE RIDE FOR TOO LONG..COMMON MEDIA...DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

notice they cant run a picture of the crowd--the 15 people standing there with their arms folded across their chests!!

as opposed to obama who is drawing record crowds in this country and around the world. people arent going to see obama b/c they think he's a "celebrity", people are going to see obama b/c of what he says, and what he wants for this country.

i dont know how McOutsource has the nerve to even talk to americans, spouting off his silly neoCON lies and misinformation!! "my friends", yeah right, not ONE of your friends was there, McLobbyist, that's for sure. john mccain is no friend to americans, in iowa or any other state!

His comments didn't even make any sense! And it's interesting how he horns in on events that draw large crowds who are not there to see him. Guess he thinks that people don't notice.... We do.

Resembles one of McCain's donors.

One story with Obama, and you have a picture of him in front of an American Flag, next story about McCain, and you have a picture of a pig in mud. No that's not biased, You're not even trying to hide it anymore.

McCain is the only one promising not to spend our money on the pig...

McCain even puts the hogs to sleep.

is that him lying in the dirt

After opposing the ag subvention bill he comes around to to watch farmers sob.Even the pig was conscious of this joke.

"picturesque"??? Would have been interesting to see how many fair goers stayed for his speech!!

McSame....Yeah...when PIGS FLY

Didn't Mc*insert snarky name for cliched insult* say that the Sturgis rally was, "what America is all about?" Do you just say that about anything that happens in the Midwest, be it a family-oriented farmfest or a traditionally lewd gathering of leather-clad individuals? Meh, it's nice to be talked about once every four years.

McCain is lying about his tax plan. People making less than $200,000 a year will pay more taxes under his plan than Obama's.

Obama will not increase capital gains taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year.

On the other hand, McCain has a bigger budget deficit than Obama. Why does McCain's plan lead to a bigger budget deficit? Because he cuts taxes so much for people making over $3 Million a year that their incomes go up 11% from the tax breaks!

That includes health care plans – Obama's plan covers 33 Million. McCain's covers 2 million. Obama's costs only slightly more than McCain's. Because McCain's plan actually gives money to people who already have insurance so they can get out of employer sponsored insurance. This is a huge benefit to businesses – don't need to pay for employee insurance any more. It's just that we'll have just as many uninsured....

Funny thing is that McCain bailed out on the Iowa State Fair and the Iowa Straw Poll last year this time as did Guiliani as they didn't think they could win...And thus launched Huckabee's feeble campaign.

John,
Tucker Bounds said you'll flourish with the media all to yourself next week. We'll see...nice start by the way.

Hereeeeeee's Johnny!!!!!

Funny, even the pig goes to sleep listening to John bumble around about his non-existent energy policy.

McSenile, just hand the election over to Barack. You don't want to lose your temper in front of 80 million people during the debates.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

I guess the McCain isn't the only ones in the mud

Doing anything to keep form talking about the issues. Gas, economy, energy crisis, jobs, The SURGE............

Whatever, McCain..................LIER!

Nice photo of Senator Edwards, or is it Obama? Hard to tell with the face buried half in mud.

McCain with the pigs...seems appropriate to me since he is one of them!

Well first the bike rally offering his wife to be a buffalo chip, Now the fair people are trying to have a good time not listen to him pander and lie look even the pig went to sleep!!!

He's going to the heart of rural America, isn't he? He's not trying to hide his targeting of a specific type of audience.

Sen McCain is out there where the average joe is; not lordly parading around refusing to touch common people.

These comments are harsh. And about the energy crisis, what's wrong with nuclear energy? I think it's a great idea. What is ironic are all these liberals complaining that we have to shift to cleaner, alternative energies, but yet don't seriously ever consider one of the cleanest (and actually nowadays VERY safe), cheap, and efficient energies in nuclear power.

McCain, you are welcome to visit Iowa anytime even if some of your audience consists of swine (not just talking about the picture either!)

When McCain does another ad about Obama as the biggest celebrity in Iowa he can superimpose Freight Train the hog onto the videos of Obama. So this was actually a "fact finding mission." Snooze on Freight Train, we are not interested in the old white haired dude either.

..."The hog slept through McCain's visit."

LOL!!!! Smart pig. Im sure he's up to his pig ears in hearing DRILL DRILL DRILL.

looks like mccain!!!

wow toooo easy.. who is really running the McCain camp?EXXON/MCCAIN...how many lobbyist have their hands in the puppet?

This is interesting, because I just saw a McCain ad criticizing that 3 million in tax dollars went toward studying the DNA of bears. Correct me if I'm wrong, but DNA research is beneficial to agri-business, at least indirectly.

I didn't know Bill Clinton was in Iowa?

Hilarious!! I love the title and picture combo. Another image an old, white-haired dude for Paris's ad?

How appropriate...
There's an article about John McCain with a picture of a sleeping pig!
Just about sums that man up. Way to go CNN

"The real America", as opposed to the rest of us faux-Americans. Thanks for the insult, Mcjerk

Perfect picture of what an Obama Presidency will be like. LOL

All who talk about failed economic policies should look back to the year 2001 thru 2006 and then look at 2006 thru 2008. You might be surprised with the differences once Congress changed hands.

I'm interested in the choice of photo for the headline about McCain visiting the Iowa Fair. While the two headlines about Obama have pictures of Obama, and the Cheney headline has a picture of Cheney, the McCain headline has a picture of a sleeping pig. Hilarious! Love it!

Old Mc Cain had a farm, eieio......

I'll take the pig over McSame anyday!!!

A pig takes a nap at the Iowa State Fair Friday!!!
How about McFossill, did he take any break????

Aweee...look at the pig. He's too cute.

Okay, the title of the piece and the picture are pretty funny, taken together.

I know McCain is ugly, but that picture doesn't do him any justice.

yes but we here in Iowa don't want you John McCain. I'm a family farmer and have to work a second job to make ends meet we never used to have to do that, and its because of the failed policies of the GOP and John McCain you were part of that so don't come here to Iowa expecting us to vote for you. We want change, Barack will help us you won't. Obama 08

Has anyone noticed that while Obama schedules events and record numbers of people come to see just him, McSame just goes to places that people aren't expecting to see him like Sturgis and now the fair. Wow McBush just steals other people's and group's thunder. O and its ironic that they show a pig in the picture

What a hypocrite!!

'McCain said we are facing an "energy crisis" and touted his plans for expanding nuclear energy and allowing offshore oil drilling, a pair of proposals that earned him loud applause from onlookers.'

I'm sure all of the applause came from NIMBY's (Not In My Back Yard) who are plenty okay with nuclear energy & oil drilling, as long as it's nowhere near where they live.

Ahhh, the American dream!

Looks like McCain even made the pig fall asleep.

Great picture of McBush.... he finally took off the stupid baseball cap!

Stay there John!

Even hogs don't get excited by McCain!

Even the Pig thinks McBush is boring.
