Is there a reason that Sen McCain cannot speak about issues without talking about how Sen Obama is "so wrong"? I am totally, totally SICK of hearing nothing out of his mouth that does not involve putting Obama down. CLEAN UP THE MOUTH! And stop calling me "my friend". Tired of hearing that also. Talk about what you believe in, and leave Obama OUT OF IT.

One note Johnny McCain. We know you were a POW.... can you find some content besides that?

That would be the weakness of Obama's that I would certainly emphasis.

Senator Obama's GOOD JUDGEMENT was.... not to go to war with Iraq.

To Mr. McCain I say........there wouldn't have been any surge to deal with if we had followed Barack Obama's SOUND ADVICE! Stop touting the surge....it a small part of a much larger ugly and unnecessary war!

where was mccain judgment in voting for a war based on lies and deceit? He believe every lie george w and his war criminals put out.

He continues to say the the surge is succeeding! Stop paying the sons of Iraq 16 million dollars a month and then let's see exactly how successful it is.

Furthermore if the surge is a success, why is our troops still there? I thought the latest reason was to stablized Iraq. If it is stable, Bring our troops home!

Fact is, mccain is lying, as usual.

McCain's thought process:

"What was my position again? Dang it, I can't seem to remember. Should I just make it up again? Nah, I might flip flop like I did the last time. What should I do? I know. I'll just mention the surge a dozen times. It sure has helped out on the Iraq-Pakistan border. Then I'll attack Obama. That's it."

Don't be insane. Don't vote for McCain.

it is for people who do not value critical analysis that think John McCain did well.
He answered the qestions before the were asked. Did you see how he use platitudes to rattles answers. It only impressed feeble minded people.

McCAIN,S failure in judgement is not supporting issues that protect the GI,S. McCain gets a D rating on his voting records from Vet groups.

Dont forget to tell everyone how much payoff money it took to keep the insurgents quiet till after the election John.

Please stop using the "Obama is unexperienced" retort people. Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, and Kennedy were all unexperienced when they took office. Were they all 'risky' choices?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...

Obama: Change (in positions, policies and beliefs) you can set your clock by.

Loose the war indeed. That's why you said 'no surrender' then said you'd be okay with the same timeline for withdraw that Obama had already suggested, McCain? Did you change your mind ~back~?

Would love for John McCain to admit his backing of the Iraq invasion was wrong! Of course, even if he knows in his heart of hearts it was the wrong decision, he won't. And why, for political gain so enough already McSamness.

McCain has bad judgement! he said "We're not in a Reccession"!!!

Obama does lack judgement. He couldn't even give direct answers at the Saddleback forum. And his head always tilted down and he gave little eye contact with the audience. He clearly has no clear positions (no pun intended)

Things in Iraq are better but considering for example the bombings the last few days I wouldnt say the surge "worked". But then it depends on the definition of success. Also, he still wont say that paying out lots of money to get the militias to do other things (and letting them police their own areas) helped the most. I value frank talk and when candidates avoid commenting on things that are obvious then I wonder about their motives.

The "failure of judgement" award goes to the Democratic Party for again choosing an unelectable candidate! Will they never learn? Most people in this country are moderate in their views about most everything. Yet the Democrats continue to nominate left-wing idiots and then can't figure out why they lost? I have finally given up on the Democrat Party and changed my affiliation to Independent.

SYNPOSIS: – While in the Senate, John McCain's voting record has sided with George Bush on 95% of all issues. Hence, electing McCain as President would represent a strong likelihood that this country would continue to serve under Bush's policies.

Math Hypothesis:
IF: John McCain votes with George Bush 95% of the time,
THEN: BUSH = MCCAIN, MCCAIN = BUSH.

McCain talking Obama judgement look how many American troops died in Iraq, McCain thousand of parents grieving because Bush and McCain send there children in harm way....MCSAME same old politic's
wake up American he another Bush.

Americans do not seem to care that Obama repeatedly is caught in lies, or situations that demonstrate a lack of judgement...

But... is hating Bush enough of a reason to accept an installed nominee like Obama?

That is the question that will be answered in the voting booth as Americans make their judgement.

JB, anybody can do that if they have the questions ahead of time. Also, a quick response doesn't always equate to an answered question.

McCain – Mr. Honorable, experience – = dishonest, cheat. Please this man knew the questions prior to Saturday's event – With technology being so advance he listen in his car in route to forum. If you paid attention you would have caught it – he answered questions before Rev. Warren could finished the question – SHAME SHAME

With all of the high dollar education that Obama has absorbed, it's amazing that he is so lost when he is without his reference sources (teleprompter, written speeches, etc.). This tells me that he lacks the more astute skills of reasoning that would be necessary to offset his general lack of experience. He needs maturing in the life of this world, but this is so typical of most liberals...at any age.

Interesting that John McCain sees himself as capable of wise judgements, such as lecturing Russia after Georgia, with US backing, attacked a province whose population is 90% Russian even though he fully approves of the attempted US conquest of the SOVEREIGN nation of Iraq to control its oil anb build FIFTY EIGHT bases there...is this the same wise judgement he displayed in the Keating 5 scandal? Or when he cheated on his first wife and married mllionairess Cindy one MONTH after divorcing his ill wife? Same judgement that has him missing 68% of his votes this year? Same judgement that made him vote AGAINST the GI Bill and WITH Bush 95% of the time? He has the nerve to criticize Obama about JUDGEMENT?!

McCain can only think in terms of war and military. Those days my
friend are over. This is a new day in the world which McCain can not
grasp, because he is from a generation of long ago. His war stories
just aren't going to cut it.
On faith, I think he relies on guns more than God, more on killing people rather than saving people.
He would be a disaster for America and lead us deeper into the mier
that Bush and his cronies created for us.
Let us clean house and start with change we can believe.

What judgment ? Obama's foreign policy adviser does not receive $$$$ from Georgia like McCrook.

DID MCcain know what means jugement?

It really scares me that McCain does not see what Russia is doing to Georgia is very similar to what we did to Iraq. He still thinks this war was right...yes several good things have come out of it but at the cost of over 4,000 Americans dying for something we had no business starting.
I do not agree with Russia going in either but McCain cannot preach to the choir when he thinks Iraq was a good idea.

"Honest John" hasn't been the same since Herr Rove punked him back in 2000 with the bogus story of an African-American love child...When he sided with Dumbya on torture after experiencing it as a POW , he lost all cred forever....

Obama is chosen by God... he doesn't need judgement.

Rush only worries about the "fairness doctrine" being reinstated.he wins no matter whos elected.

Judgement...you mean like having a lobbyist as your main foreign policy advisor who made $800K shilling for a foreign country that went out on a limb and tried to get us into another war?....or is that "experience?".....

McSurge again?????? WOW, who gives a rats petuty about the surge?!?! Rising gas prices, and economy in failure (to which he admits knowing very little) and a war that will never end... OCCUPATION NOW! seems as though McSurge has lost any talking points worthy of the issues that face us every day!!!

NO REPUBS!!!!!!!

John McCain proved why he shouldn't be president on Saturday night. He spouted of from the hip, was not thoughtful and related every question to war! I want our president to think before he speaks, to answer questions thoughtfully and by looking at the spectrum intstead of a narrow minded vision. You only have to look at Bush to see what mcCain is now offering AGAIN!

I need Americans to start thinking and stop being so close minded. Our views on abortion (however different) frankly is subjective, it has nothing to do with the direction our country is going...and that is straight in the toilet.

Obama 08 – Think!

JB, what is so good about quick and to the point? That makes him trigger-happy. Shoot first and think about it later. We had that for the last seven years, and look what that got us.

Too bad the American public is too impatient to wait for thoughtful answers. We'd be a lot better off.

McCain beat came from behind to beat his rivals in the primaries because his rivals were bad candidates. He won by default.

Dont be fooled by the polls,Obama is leading by 10

I'm impressed McCain was able to pull away from talking about being a POW and how much he loves the military to be able to tell us he thinks Obama is exploiting military topics like Iraq war to get elected. McCain, what the HECK happened to you? I used to respect you. Either you used to be different, or I just wasn't listening close enough.

It's amazing that the evangelicals would rather elect McCain than Obama, even though they know the facts about McCain.

Newsflash... HILLARY LOST, AND SHE IS THE MOST BITTER, DIVISIVE, POLARIZING FIGURE IN POLITICS. AND, HER RABID SUPPORTERS ARE BRAIN-DEAD ZOMBIES THAT CAN'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES, AND THEY ARE UNIFIED IN BEING FIERCELY RACIST.
ESPECIALLY THE PUMA / SISSY GIRLS CLUB. THANKS TO HILLARY AND HER SUPPORTERS, I WILL NEVER CONSIDER VOTING FOR AN EMOTIONAL TRAINWRECK LIKE HER AND HER KIND.

Win and lose there is no judgement call on the part of John McCain. Maliki is giving him 2 years to get out of there so what "IS" winning means?

McCain looooves war

How's this for failure of judgement...a man that has made 26 years of political misjudgements, a man that ditched his loving faithful wife for a rich women, a man who claims to be a christian, but isn't Baptized, a man that can only lie and put out negative Ads about his peer and finally one who calls himself a man of faith.
Remind you of anyone? This is the man, John McCain!

war, war, war...rattle, rattle, rattle...

Enough already McCain.

WE DON'T WANT ANY MORE WAR! GOT IT?

Being a soldier, I have seen first-hand that the surge has worked. Politics aside, America needs to realize this. Need proof? Just go to CNN's Coalition Casualties section and compare this month's deaths to one year ago. You will see a large difference.

Obama and minions, just because you ignore something does not mean that it isn't true. Obama's inexperience makes him very weak on foreign policy. He is not a leader – he is an orator and a politician.

Anyone but Obama '08

So, McCain is trying to convince everyone that he is a deeply christian man, then he comes out with downright lies against Senator Obama.
A true Christian man would not do that.
Beware – McCain is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Astonishing.

This from a guy who has flip-flopped enough to win gymnast gold in China.

Astonishing. My friend.

I read the DNC wants to paint the picture of Obama with an "All American" look. How!!???! Just a few pictures of him where he grew up or lived in Indoneisa, and NOBODY will believe he's All American.

With as much FAILURE as Bush & the Republicans has had in this long & hard 8 years, Obama's so called "failure" is quite the SUCCESS! 7 Years plus of Failed Policy, Spiteful spy name leaks, and a War of Revenge ect.!!! Change starts with the most powerful country on earth!!!!

OBAMA 08- Change We Can Believe In 2008!!!!!!!

Failure of jugdment? Who was pushing to go to war in Iraq since 1998? Who believed and pushed the now discredited intelligence from Chalibi over our own CIA intelligence that said we had no reason to go to war? McCain, that's who.

McCain has horrible judgment and only uses the "surge" which he cannot even define properly as his entire judgment? McCain's judgment got us into this mess in the first place.

This from a guy who had the 'judgement' to vote 95% of the time with the current 'failed judgment' of a president.

WHY IS THE END OF THIS VIDEO not up and running? You know – the part where McCain says: that Obama would rather lose a war to win an election?????

What about your failures in judgement McCain? Voting for this stupid war to begin with would be a start. I have no faith in your judgement. Heck half the time you don't even show up to vote and how many times have you voted no when it came to benefits for the military?

Sounds like the playground bully to me. When will Senator McCain admit his lack of judgment in helping to vote the US into the mess we're in right now? And when will he give us more substantive answers other than "I was a Viet Nam POW" and "drill here, drill now" to help solve the problems our country is facing?

McCain says Obama cares more about politics than winning the war in Iraq? Hmm, that's curious. And McCain cares more about the war in Iraq than the vetrans and soldiers that are stuck over there fighting it. Every military person should question why McCain claims to be so gung-ho for the troops, but votes "no" for any bill that might help them. McCain is a pandering, lying, disgrace of an old man that isn't fit to serve as a dog catcher.

Well John McSwain is the same old senile man that I thought he was the first time he open his mouth...

According to John McCain, countries don't invade other countries in the 21st century and must be punished for doing so. Also according to John McCain, invading Iraq was the right thing to do and he would vote to do it again. Logic is AWOL in the John McCain campaign.

You people really don't get it, John McCain will do anything to win this election because he knows this is his last shot at it. McCain thought he had it back in 2K but, Bush swindled it from under him therefore, he is desperate and will do anything because he will be way too old in four years. So, you folks who think Mr. Straight talker will not do what ever it takes to win are just dreaming!!! He will lie, cheat and steal at this point!!! Don't be so naive people. McCain along with folks who believe that leadership in this Country should remain in the hands of Caucasian

We would not have ever needed the surge if we would of used the judgement of Obama. If the surge worked is a moot question, the economy and the security of this nation is at risk because McLame will not admit that we are at war with the wrong people in respect to the 911 event. McLame should be straight with the American people as far the reason we are in Iraq. McLame will have us in all kind of mess all around the world.

He is obsessed with Obama. It's all he talks about, OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA. Does he even care about anything else. And yes, he does look like a fetus – GROSS!!!

Obama will lose the general election if he debates with John McCain. John McCain is very good at debates. He answers questions quick and to the point. Thats how he was able to come from behind and beat his rivals in the primaries. Saturday night’s forum was just a small example of whats to come. Obama got whipped really bad by John McCain at Saturday nights forum.

McCain said of his rival: "I think he's wrong, and I think he used the issue of Iraq for political reasons to get the nomination of his party and the surge has succeeded and yet Senator Obama still cannot quite bring himself to admit his own failure in judgment.” Bottom line, what purpose did voting for the war in Iraq serve McCain? And the constantly use of the word "surge," logic says that if they would have sent more than sufficient troops in the first initiative, additional troops (what they refer to as surge) would have accomplished the mission. It is not that Obama failed, the Bush administration failed from the beginning by commiting us to a war to protect the future interest of the oil industry. McCain is only smoking the mirrors for his poliltical advancement......to the point where he can't see his own reflection.

"Can America really be stupid enough to make the same mistake again? Can we afford another four years of a Republican in office? We can't be that dumb…can we?"
----------------------------–

If you ask these questions, you haven't been paying attention for the last eight years.

Yes, Americans are exaclty that stupid. The Republicans count on it every election.

this old fool continues to spout his gibberish talking point

Senator McCain, what about you own failure of judgement to have voted for Irag invasion on a false pretense that Sadam Husein had stock pile of WMD? You have a whole list of failures of judgement that's much worse than Senator Obama's...So I trust Obama will do the right thing and have the right judgement when it comes to making sure the country is secured and we are all safe, and taking the country in the right direction..."Yes We Can"...

OBAMA 08 & 12

Obama sure is full of himself with the below statement that he told other eletists the other night in California.

"I will win. Don't worry about that," Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said during a Sunday night fundraiser in San Francisco, California.

Obama only holds a single digit lead in the polls when at this time of the year the democratic candidate ususally holds a 20 – 25 point lead.

I think that Obama lacks judgement in making a statement like that.

No McCain, Senator Obama has never used Iraq. Iraq should not have been a topic of conversation at any time. WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN IRAQ. NOT TO MENTION IRAN, OR RUSSIA. WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE, ARE MORE WARS.

AMERICA DOSEN'T HAVE THE RESOURCE'S TO FIGHT YOUR BATTLES. . .FINANCIALLY, OR MILITARY.

ENOUGH OF MCCAIN. HE HAS AN EVIL MINDSET!

Judgement? What judgement MCsame? you old man. What dont you go some where a wait for your death. I can't believe the way the media be giving you all the positive press while Obama gets all the bad ones. Everytimes Obama is in the news is something negative about him. lack of experience, no good judgement, risky. But guess what Mcsame you and the media can go away because that is not going to work this time. We have learned from the past 8 year when the media reelect you IDIOT brother.

Why doesn't McShame just use the word TREASON as that is what he's basically saying. I just want you all to ask yourself two questions:
1) If the tables were turned, what would the GOP and the media do to
Obama if he came out with such an attack?
2) What would the media and GOP do if they found out that Obama cheated – and was in a car on the way to the Religious Forum – when he had agreed to being in the broadcast room with no TV or radio? Can you even begin to imagine the circus that would ensue?

His worst judgement:

To try to win votes by stirring up hatred within the party, by attacking a fellow democratic candidate, by labeling Bill and Hill racists, by mocking HRC, by brushing Hillary of his cocky shoulders, by dismissing her supporters as irrelevant.

By being so arrogant as to declare his divisive self, a uniter... able to bring back the HRC people, but not the other way around.

The Iraq war was the greatest misadventure in American history, a failure of judgment by a president who has no judgment, a president whom McCain supports. If anyone has shown poor judgment regarding Iraq, it is McCain. And McCain also showed extremely poor judgment in the way he responded to the recent problems in Georgia–a situation created by a reckless Bush prone to misadventures, where McCain responded with "shoot first and ask questions later," when the reverse was much more appropriate: ask some questions to figure out who caused this problem.

The failure of judgmement is in Obama's camp. He has proven a

sheepish candidate constantly changing policy positions once he

encounters voter resistance : campaign finance, drilling for oil, Hillary role

call vote to name just a few.

Obama is the riskiest and most inexperienced candidate we have been

proposed in the last 75 years. His judgment and sheepish positions

are not worthy of the highest office.

Yes Rich, Americans are that dumb!

huh? our country is trashed? We have the highest emploeyment rate, the highest export rate, the largest economy, the highest GDP, etc. etc. No matter how you WISH you were living in a 3rd world country, the reality is that WE ARE STILL THE BEST country in the world.

Along with McCain, the majority of congress voted for the Iraq war based on intelligence that the WORLD believed and that Hussein WANTED the world to believe.

"no-experience-obama" couldn't vote for or against the war because he wasnt even a senator at the time. . .

Which one?

I have lost count.

Obama claims good judgement and then escapes criticism for mistakes by owing up to his own poor judgement.

So which is it Obama man?

By the way- deciding to split the party by agitating for HATE on Hillary, and by calling opponents racist, and by mocking and ridiculing and debasing FELLOW democrats.... I would call that sneaky and self-serving but ultimately NOT good judgement.

McCain has accepted responsibility of his first marriage 30 years ago. Enough already. Why won't Obama admit that the surge has worked when the evidence is right in front of his face? Where has he been on Georgia? Why has he flip flopped on a dozen issues? His judgement comes out of a teleproptor.

Rich in Seattle
I am with you. However, I feel that the answer to your question
is sadly, "yes"

Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.

A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even tempered.

A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his opinion.

He who answers before listening –that is his folly and his shame.

Does this sound like someone you know? =McCain

SOB McCain...cheating on Faith forum, pathetic little minded man questioning judgment? you have got to be kidding me...what has McCain done for Vets, or women for that matter...the ONLY people McCain is concerned about are the 59 LOBBYIST running his campaign...he has great stories, but BAD judgment...if McCain wins your kids (both boys and girls) will thank YOU for the draft, failed economy, the inevitable war with both Iran and Russia. McCain is a dirty politican who has LIED over and over again...not a man you can trust...ask his first wife. i hope you McCain supporters realize that Bush sang the SAME song Mccain is singing now...we all know the end of that diddy

I believe the judgment of John McBush and Rick Warren should be questioned.They duped the American people as Geo.Bush has done for 7 and 1/2 years.We have one lair and deceiver in the white house , we do not need another one.As far as the Russian and Georgian uprise McBush did not make points he has already put his self at a disadvantage if he would become elected.Wake up folks.OBAMA 08
Connie from Indiana

Can’t talk about the economy, can’t keep lying about Obama raising taxes, can’t talk about Afghanistan, can’t keep saying ‘drill here, drill now’ so what do I have left? The surge of course, the American people really care about the surge. What an idiot.

What kind of judgment is it to attend a fundraiser hosted by Ralph Reed today? Reed is linked to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. I know MacDaddy, you don't care where the money comes from or who had to get hurt to get it.

WELL MCCAIN HAS FAILURE ON MEMORY. IS THIS WHO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TO ELECT.

I AM BEGINNING TO FEEL THAT MAYBE MANY AMERICANS ARE AS DUMB AS THE PROCLAIM THAT THEY ARE NOT.

Can Obama ANSWER in not so many words:

WHEN DOES HUMAN LIFE BEGIN ?

Republicans have proven over and over again that the substance of their attacks need not be true to be effective. Voters, please keep your minds open and your wits about you.

Oh boy!! McCain just had to bring in his POW thing in Saturday's question and answer period with Pastor Rick. So big deal, I spent 20+ years in Military, was in Vietnam but I don't think being a POW is a prerequisite of being a leader. So tired of hearing that over and over. That war was over long long ago.

He's desperate! Go figure!

MCCAIN THE VILLAGE IDIOT !!!!!!!

Where was John McCain judgement when he decided to vote for the war in Iraq?????

The military expedition in Iraq, including the surge, has contributed to the economic difficulties we are experiencing here at home. While we spend to secure Iraq, our bridges and critical infrastructure is crumbling, the national debt is balooning to new heights and McCain keeps talking war, war war and more war! $10 billion per month in Iraq and Iraq has over $89 bn in budget surplus! That's your surge, McCain!

McCain like Ahmadenijad from Iran talks just from the gut and not from the brain. World problems will get worse when gut driven people like Bush and Mc Cain will be allowed to act.

Obama went BodySurfing while the Russians were bombing the civilians in the streets of Georgia.

That tells you all you need to know about how Obama would handle National Security and Defense issues.

McCain is so full of it. All he can do is interject his POW experience into every subject. Okay, he was a POW, that's right, noone contests that and everyone acknowledges it was a painful experience and he was honorable. HOWEVER, being a pow does not qualify you to be president.

WAR!!!WAR!!!WAR!!!! DANG THAT IS ALL HE TALK ABOUT. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS CRAZY STUFF. IF YOU VOTE FOR HIM YOU ARE AN IDIOT JUST LIKE HE IS. HE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA, BECAUSE IF HE DID THEN HE WILL STOP TALKING ABOUT WAR AND START TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THESE ECONOMIC WOES.

If he wants to talk about Obama's judgement, he should talk about this own, cheating on his wife and leaving her and the kids, for a woman 25 years younger than him, this guy makes me sick! And to use the excuse, well I was a POW, give me a break!

McCain is right.... we just can not afford the inexperience of Obama...

And as for Biden as his running mate... i guess a plagerizer sees another plagerizer as ok...

We dont.

Obama's whole campaign has been a failure of judgment...

He has no idea's himself... He plays the race card like it's the 70's.

McCain is decisive and puts AMERICA FIRST!

McCain '08

I wonder if Johnny told them how he wants to take away all of their benefits, how he has consistently rallied to degrade our veterans for their service to country.

Also, it's odd that he want's Russia thrown out of the G-8 for invading a soveriegn country, yet doesn't feel the same punishment is necessary against the US for invading, a SOVEREIGN country.

We brag about a surge against an innocent country working, and then in the same speech condemn Russia for sending in a surge of their own? Wow, the hypocracy of this old coot.

Perhaps he didn't hear the questions though: gotta have a sense of humor when you listen to him talk.

Obama '08

Failure of judgement..blah, blah, blah..please McSame find something else to complain and squawk about because you are sounding like an old broken record. We have HEARD all of this before. Can you please think of something new?? Boooring.

but seriously how many days did Mc Cain spent fighting in the war zone, I mean real fighting not counting the time in prison?

and the PUMA's want to elect this guy. 2012 is a long time to spend in code uber orange...fear, fear, fear!!!

If the surge was so great, why do our troops in Iraq donate 6-1 more money to Obama?

I do too McSame. I questioned his judgement to go to that SHAM fo a forum that the LIAR Rick Warren had last wekend. McSame knew EVERY question before he was asked.
Obama08

3. You have no basis on which to suggest there will be a surge so try using real points.

4. lynette, I wish we were after the oil because had we gotten it from them it wouldn't cost $4 a gallon now. As for suicide bombers in Iraq the reason they're still there is because Vietnam, and Bill Clinton's appeasement of terrorists has shown them that if they keep at it long enough the lefties will start whining and complaining that we need to get out of there. The surge significantly reduced the number of bombings and has al qaeda focusing less on iraq now and more on afghanistan.

"I think he's wrong, and I think he used the issue of Iraq for political reasons to get the nomination of his party.”

And you didn't, Senator McCain?

We do not need another senile president who conveniently doesn't remember what he screws up.

“In cooperation with our friends and allies in Europe, we will make it clear to Russia’s rulers that acts of violence and intimidation come at a heavy cost,” he said

I could not agree with you any less, like what you and twin brother Bush did we are suffering a heavy cost, you should have included that in your statement that, " see how much we have and we are spending in Iraq not talking about how many sons and wonderful duaghters we have lost, so Russia get it from us we have learnt our lesson and we are bugged down in Iraq, yours caring Mc Saine"

Obama 2008

If McCain cares about Vets so much then why was he against the GI Bill and then didn't even show up to vote? McCain's Vet rating is 20%, Obama's is 80%. McCain get's cover from the meida because he's a POV but his record on helping Vets is not good.

It's easy for us to be armchair quarterbacks when it comes to Iraq, we have no war experience, and can only think of war in philosophical and absolute terms. Unfortunately, this is also the case for Obama.

McCain has been there. He knows war operates the same way as government does. It's full of red tape and manipulations by those with the most power, and subject special interests. McCain also knows it's about the soldiers, even when they're not providing good photo-ops.

Can we really trust Obama to end the war in Iraq as easily as he says he can? He'll have to play the same game ANY person would once getting into office. President's do not have absolute power. But I'd rather put my trust in one who at least knows the ropes.

Senator McCain is one of those who got us into this mess in the first place. How convenient that you never hear he talk about that!

I agree the I WILL WIN ticker nearly made me hurl. Obama keeps saying its about us but its about him making history being the first AA to be President. His economic policy is weak, and he is the weakest in national security. McCain is an old coot and he isn't a great speaker, but when he was talking Sat. night he is so solid and experienced with his answers.

The immaturity of Obama supporters never ceases to amaze me.

By the way ... WE CAN READ WHAT YOU WRITE EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

Truthfully, you probably have a better chance of your comments being heard by not using all-caps. When I see all-caps, I skip the post.

Are you serious? This old goat is war hungry. That's his whold agruemnt whe it come to Obama. If you mcsane people vote for this war hungry old man you better believe our troops will be in war the whole time, he love's it. He is always using war to try to say Obama does not have experience, that's all he has.

Why does he keep saying Obama won't admit that the surge worked. Listen old man he did say that things are better in Iraq, but I hope he won't admit something like that because I don't think it has. This old bag of bones needs to address the many other issues we have, give war a rest

Obama

why cnn avoids and all his lies and cheatin??? everyone needs to ask cnn this question!!!

The surge has succeeded huh? They just a minute ago announced another suicide bombing.

One day he is claiming to be a man of faith the next day he is out their lying through his nose... what a charater

Mr. McCain, you had better kneel with Pastor Warren and pray that Russia sticks to the agreement with Georgia. We all know that Georgia started the fight first and was depending on big brother for back up. Is war is the only subject you can rely on to get you to the finish line first ?

This all you know McCain how attack Obama,talk about issues that
matter to voter. we are sick your negative campaign against Obama,
that you promise not to do when you won your party primary. How well
do we forget.

Surge, AGAIN? BEJEBUS! Was Obama wrong about being against the war? Was Obama's vision on Iraq withdrawal in Iraq, diplomacy in Iran, reinforcing Afghanistan not followed by the Bush administration and got the seal of approval from Prime Minister al-Maliki wrong? The answer is no. Obama is not perfect but his vision looks way farther down the line than McCain's. He's in for the long-term fix for the US, not short-term (ie. DRILL).

Does McCain think we should get kicked out of the G8 for our attack on Iraq....sorry 'pre-emptive strike'?

Give me a break.

How about YOU admit YOUR failure in judgement Sen. McBush ?. Who voted FOR the war ?. And war is ALL you can talk. Well, enough is enough !!. You're outta here dude !!.

Obama/Biden '08

Yes he WILL win !!

If Amercia elects John McCain after how "low" he has gone in this campaign, and how the Republicans have trashed this country over the past eight years. Then America truly gets what it deserves.

Can America really be stupid enough to make the same mistake again? Can we afford another four years of a Republican in office? We can't be that dumb...can we?

“And yet Senator Obama still cannot quite bring himself to admit his own failure in judgment.”

What about your "failiure in judgment" to vote for a senseless war in the first place????? How 'bout that???????

This attack mode is getting old...like him!

If 50% of Americans are racist as some of you Dems profess, then that would mean 50% of Hillary's 18million votes will NOT go to Obama. 9million votes is a lot.

Ever think about that?

What kind of moral values John have if he talks (even if Jokingly) to kill other people by selling cigarets. We need a leader with moral values. America need better than John McCain.

All this sabre-rattling about Iraq and Russia . . . I think I'm gonna surge . . .

Good Lord – does this fool have anything else to talk about? What a sad old man. He has to say the same thing over and over again because he can't possibly remember anything else. BRING ON THE DEBATES!

According to McCain and many others, Obama needs to admit that the surge has worked. Okay, if it has worked, why is there still killings, bombings, suicide bombers in Iraq? Why is it so important that Obama say this to what end? The bottom line is: if we didn't occupy Iraq in the first place the surge wouldn't have happened. And over 4,000+ troops would still be alive today. It was a bad decision from the beginning. After all, we are after the oil.

THANK YOU Mr SURGE 4200 OR SO DEAD AND 30,000 INJURED AND COUNTLESS MENTALLY DAMAGED. GOOD WORK. THE ONLY THING MCCAIN FEELS COMFORTABLE WITH IS WAR. SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO WAR WITH MCCAIN . THE DRAFT IS COMING BACK. STUPID PEOPLE CAN'T SEE THAT.

OBAMA......08

Let's talk about McCain's judgment for supporting the Iraq war in the first place? The old word "bonehead," comes to mind.

Did you ditch your wife and kids, McCain?

The answer is yes, so spare me your conversation about judgement.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

FACT:

John McCain is an old man with old ideas.

He also has a temper, which he has shown time and time again. He can be a real hot-head, which is very dangerous for National Security.

He is a war-monger, and should he win the White House, America can expect NO CHANGE in troop reduction, ending the wars in Afghanisatn and Iraq, or bringing the troops home.

WAKE UP AND VOTE DEMOCRAT!

Judgment? When you leave a sick woman and your kids, you lack character. Barack Obama talked about his moral failings when he was a teen-ager. John McCain was a man, not a real one, but a phony fake one. He left his wife after she had a car accident and was disfigured. He left his kids as well. He left them for Cindy Lou, a younger woman with money, lots of money.

So don't talk to me about judgement McCain because when it came time to make a man's decision, you bailed out.

O/08

Is Panamanian McCain ever going to talk about what he is going to do for this country. Iraq, Iraq, Iraq. The ultimate obsession for this guy.

McCain speaks what he think is right. Obama just panders.

McCain takes his standard stance on foreign policy – hit back and hit hard. The problem with the Georgia-Russia conflict that it isn't just a matter of Russia beging aggressive. Georgia has been trying to gain a foothold in South Ossetia (who favor Russia) and Russia said "knock it off!"

But if you dig a little deeper, you'll find that it all comes down to oil, once again, so we should also examine McCain's motivation for supporting Georgia against big bad Russia. It wasn't that long ago that McCain said "we'd never have to go to war again over oil" though later he backtracked on that comment. Looks like he meant it afterall.

McCain talking to his own crowd again. He can't talk about the economy because he has no ideas that will fix it. Oh I wish we had a different Republican candidate for prez.
If he wins in Nov., we lose.

JOHN TELL ME HOW YOU ARE GOING TO WIN THE WAR.YOU THINK BY STAYING FOR 100 YEARS WILL WIN YOU THE WAR.PLEASE OLD MAN LIGHT OUT WE ARE TIRED OF WAR.

I have high regard for Obama that his answer to every conflict isn't war...bomb...surge and defeat like McCain.

The question is really why can't McCain admit his own failure of judgment voting for a war BASED ON ALL LIES!!!! McCain still to this day would not take his vote back knowing all that we know now...even Clinton admitted she was wrong.

McCain is to militant and a bully and will lead us to as many wars as possible. Soliders, get ready to go into Georgia and Iran.

What about the judgement to ditch your wife and kids for a bimbo? What about the judgement to go to war in Iraq? These are the judgements McCain does NOT want to talk about. He's a phony and a fake and who cares about what he thinks.

Obama 08

Over 200 years, our presidents have accumulated 5 trillion in Debt, since clinton left, Bush alone has almost doubled it, within 8 years, it's at 9 and a half trillion, and you want 4 more years of the same Bush policies and tax system, you blind sheep are gonna destroy this country if Mccain were to win.

The rest of you republicans go ahead and keep filling your heads with BS from Hannity and Limbaugh like the good little ignorant sheep that you are.

Why is the Obama campaign giving McCain a free ride? They keep forgeting negative campaigning really works. No wonder they are dropping in the polls each and every day.

“In cooperation with our friends and allies in Europe, we will make it clear to Russia’s rulers that acts of violence and intimidation come at a heavy cost." Ah, the irony. Do these people listen to themselves? "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran," "acts of violence and intimidation come at a heavy cost." If the stakes weren't so high, it'd be quite amusing.

it's getting OLD.

I honestly don't believe a word of John McCain is saying……that Georgian President was looking for John to send US troop or something to help them and John boy turned the other way because he has no authority to give orders like I describe. He had no intentions on help his so called Georgian President friend it all a lie.

John McCain can't straight talk his way out of a paper bag

More like faking his way on faith.

Oh – some of you are right – McCain is NOT Bush.

Bush (the worst president ever by popular consensu) BEAT McWarmonger 8 years ago.

McCain is WORSE THAN BUSH.
