Mcsenile = no new ideas, just the same old lies, over and over again.

Just like when he was debating Romney, mcwar kept repeating the same old lies over and over again.

Notice how every time someone has been accused of hangin' w/ Obama they quickly deny it?

Why does everyone want to distance themselves from Obama??

I know, but I ain't tellin'

I am a Democrat voting for McCain, here is why: If McCain wins we only have to wait 4 more years before running someone else. If BO wins we have to wait 8 more years before running someone else.

"These two failed stars can help put each other back in the tabloids they love to have their picture taken. "

AND

"George you've just lost me. I'll never watch any of your movies again. Movie stars should stay where they, HOLLYWEIRD"

- You two (and some others) LEARN TO READ...Clooney denied it was true- and indeed was willing to stake money on it!

Do you believe every random bit of chain letter tat you read?/ If so I've heard some King of Nigeria want to transfer $1000000 to your bank account...

"...I would hope that my friend John McCain would join me in condemning this kind of politics.”
John McSame will never join anyone in condemning anything that is negative towards Obama.....afterall that is the entire structure and mission of his campaign....demonize Obama and his supporters! But we will have the last say in November!

Just a shout out to GC - thanks! Stupid story aside, you're one of my favorite actors (love the Oceans series) and you seem smart enough to stay out of the fray.

I don't know what it is about these stories... it's like, the media just throws something out to see if it ripples. Or maybe the McCain camp is doing it on the DL?

FAN of both Clooney AND Obama!

RUDYNYC,

The problem with Obama taking advice from Clooney is that HE IS AN ACTOR not A POLITICIAN/LAWYER/LAWMAKER. Get it? Actors should stick to acting, politicians to politics.

I am sick and tired of actors who think they're views are more important than mine!!! Get off your smug soap boxes and realize that just because we liked a movie that you had a role in doesn't mean we need, want or CARE about your political beliefs!!!

Alice Brinkley, you should check your facts. If you like McCain, vote for him. Obama has done a lot of good for those who wishes to see it.

If you are satisfied with the Bush administration, vote for the man who stood with him at least 95% of the time, John McCain. However, if you are tired of the same, Vote Sen. Obama.

Hmmm...interesting that we hear about George Clooney's e-mail habits but not the influence of a certain lobbyist for the Republic of Georgia and Georgian interests on McCain's exploitation of death and destruction for partisan political gain. You know, the man running for President who supposedly speaks for all Americans and jet-skiied on the Black Sea 2 years ago on the taxpayers' dime, and now has a Georgian lobbyist as his top foreign policy advisor? Ring a bell?

Thank you George for NOT texting or hitting the campain trail. We love YOU just the way you are. It would be awful if we had to change how we feel about you because you politically choose against US. Therefore, we will continue to watch and buy your movies as long as you stay out of the political fray.
You have it all, looks, chramisa and being IRISH with an ITALIAN Villa on Lago di Como helps a LOT too.

Alice Brinkley said:

"Sen Lieberman as well as Sen McCain have proven their statesmanship by their acts over many years, while Obama can't show one darn thing that he has done for the good of the country"

I can easily say McCain and Lieberman have caused the current financial crisis in this country and Obama has a plan to get us out.

Santa Claus likes milkshakes and feeds his reindeer chocolate.

Both statements are completely objective with no facts to support them. That is not what intellectual conversation is based on. I wish Americans would start discussing the issues based on facts and not broad unsupported statements designed to ridicule the opponent.

Four more years of hell? I can't agree with that at all, my life has been great since Wild Bill left office. Could it be that the lazy, underachieving hippies just want a little income redistribution? They want something for nothing, like you are entitled to it? Oh, and for the record, I have served FOUR tours in Iraq, TWO in Kuwait, TWO in Saudi Arabia, and ONE in Afghanistan. I VOLUNTEERED to go to all of them. Obama will NOT magically make everything better, as evidenced by Skeletor (Pelosi) and her minions in Congress. Trust me, it won't be pretty if he's elected, he'll just make you feel good while he taxes us to death (well, those of us that are employed anyway). Peace out! BJack

Alice Brinkley... Please do your research .... Please... Whats that old saying " its better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." I dedicate that quote to John Mccain supporters.

Well If you think Clooney emailed Obama then you shold go get that million dollars he's offering to anyone who can prove otherwise. Knock yourself out.

Whats going on here is simple and rather basic strategy on the part of republicans to further saturate the minds of innocent, misinformed voters with the image of Obama as being a celeb or like a celeb. Not working. Obama 08!

I have no idea how long it will take or if it will ever happene for many of you. Until you get past the fact Obama is a black man and come to terms with it, you will never learn to appreciate the fact that he's so much more intelligent than his counterpart. Meaning you will never learn anything constructive about your next president.

And for once, can ONE Mccain supporter PLEASE explain to myself and the rest of the Obama supporters: Tell us ONE policy that Mccain has introduced thus far that differs from any policy the Bush admin has in place already? Once youve climbed that mountain: Tell us how he plans to do it? i.e. strategy, cost etc, and for extra credit, explain how he plans to finance his lofty goals for this country? Then you can humor us by explaining how he's gonna do this WITHOUT raising ANYONES taxes? As he claims so firmly... The clock is ticking...

can see the light or maybe he is giving him advise about a getaway weekend in SIN CITY. WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS THERE. WELL THAT IS BULL. THE WHOLE US KNOWS ALL ABOUT VEGAS AND ITS SINS. THINK WE WOMEN ARE STUPID.

Wow.. This article is about nothing that matters and the liberals still manage to not talk about it's actual contents and instead somehow tie this to republicans and McCain. Grow up guys.

The only time McCain was mentioned in this article was when Clooney said, he's spent more time with McCain because they did a tv show together. There is a time and place to bash candidates and this isn't either.

And CNN.. Why must you keep deleting my comments? Am I not liberal enough?

Why the heck should McCain have to condem this? His party didn't put it out.

So should barack have to condemn every moronic post on these blogs calling mccain 'old and senile' ?

Apologizing for other people is just plain stupid.

Regardless, the rumor is stupid. We all know Barack takes his marching orders from the other big O. Oprah.

I gets a head ache everytime I comme to CNN blog's BS. I now blog on AOL. No moderation, what you write is what get posted immeditely. None of this BS, after you've writen a blog, then gets a This Post is Closed, when its only been open 1 hour. Then it shows that no one left a comment. CNN s-cks GO TO AOL.

Their content linking Clooney to Obama is interesting since Clooney disavows the LA Times article. It looks so pre-rehearsed.

One troll even managed to inject a Lieberman lie into this. You guys must get frequent talking point bulletins from Republican Central.

Clooney is friends with McCain? This just proves McCain is a vapid celebrity dingleberry and not a legitimate statesman. Conservative Republicans universally agree that nobody who has ever worked in Hollywood has any business setting foot in Washington! We can have doctors, lawyers, MBAs, fishermen, teachers, plumbers, and unemployed factory workers as senator, governor, or president – but NEVER an actor! Their opinions and endorsement are less valid than everybody else's!
Praise the holy ghost of Ronald Reagan!

obama creates negative publicity. he's the one who chose those anti-American friends, not the media. he's the one who said winning his senate seat the way he did is just Chicago politics, not the media. he's the one who made the crack about his white grandmother, not the media. he's the one who keeps flip flopping, not the media. he's the one who chooses not to buy his children Christmas and birthday gifts to show them there are limits, then sets an example by renting a super jet and an NFL stadium so people can pay homage to him. not the media. so if he wants positive do positive things.

It really doesn't matter who is elected President of the US because they are all a bunch of liars and are going to do what they want to while they are in office and could care less what the American people feel or say. What will they really do for us. They don't do a thing but negotiate with all the foreign leaders. They care what they say and do not you or me.

Alice Brinkley Voted for now President. By the way you comment has some truth in it, it does show their alike proven salesmanship...ops.....statesmanship. The WROST President in years, starting a war that only produced higher gas prices and thousands their lives, homeowner struggling to keep their homes, millions without health care. and fat wallets for the now administration and their oil friends.....Yes, your right to they reaches over party line, but not the voters who suffer day after day from the WROST economy we have today.

Some of you have the nerve to say "Obama supporters are the most mean, nasty, and hateful people that I have ever had the displeasure of encountering." The truth is everyone republican, democrat and the other parties have said MEAN things. We are not Obama, we are not going to take you beating us with words and not strike back, JUST ISN”T GOING TO HAPPEN!

McCain is just jealous he is not longer the good looking POW military celebrity in Washington. He is taking it out on Obama with these type of childish temper tantrum attacks and false accusations. McCain, you can only hold on to your celebrity status for so long. You have to let it go.
