Obama and his testiness is a big factor in his DIS appeal to many democrats.

Hillary was not allowed to fight. Obama was given all the benefits of the doubt and advantages and support.

It is a whole new game now.

The race card has been played out- and called by the Republicans.

Mcain has lost his bearings completely! the best thing for the domocrates to do is to ignore him completely and concentrate with issues!. Mcain through fox news and ABC is spreading falsehood because he has nothing to run on except as a war hero!. The reps are desparate for a win and they will do anything to win! round some foreign students name them terrorists ! the public panics vote reps back again! and the evil on the world continues, oil prices skyrocket fore closures increases and if you complain about it! you are called whinners!! GOD BLESS AMERICA! Otherwise very soon we will be migrating to China for better paying jobs!!

Claiming Obama would rather lose a war to win an election is an attack on his patriotism, period. If anyone had made so much as a suggestion about McCain's patriotism, they would have been submerged in "How dare you insult a Vietnam Veteran and a POW?!"

Obama gets more media coverage, sure, but its always twice as negative. McCain has this untouchable character and frankly, it isn't fair. Oh, and his story about the cross in the dirt, its eerily similar to Solzhenitsen's story; read it for yourself.

Liar. We, as citizens are not testy, we are mad as Hell, and we aren't going to take the Republican crap anymore. You have done everything but call your opponent a traitor, and you call yourself a respectful condidate? You ave the utter gall to throw out lies and innuendos, but God forbid that anyone questions you abilities. You have no judgement sir, and by the type of campaign you are running you prove that you have no judgement every day. Go back and read your own book sir, where you plainly state that you ran for the Presidency not on a need to serve your country, but because of your own AMBITION!!

McCain is acting like Hill ary. Keep swiping at him, until he hits you back and whine that he's defending himself.

To all of you who are banking on McCain becoming President, You can start spending your sons and daughters college saving, because if he is elected ,they won't need it ,because he will use his EXPERIENCE to start a military draft to keep his promise to follow his
FRIEND to the gates of hell !! So that means he plans on taking your sons and daughters with him. That is definitely the only promise he plans to keep!

AGAIN I ECHOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When McCain was once asked why he thought there had been a victory in Iraq, he replied, "Well, there was a banner on an aircraft carrier, wasn't there?" This speaks volumes about McCain's intellectual depth (none). If I were Obama, I'd be testy too. In fact, I'd be telling McCain to shut the hell up in no uncertain terms. All he has done is whine and throw false accusations, mainly because he himself has nothing to offer. Go stand in a corner McCain. You have a time out until you grow up, you testy old coot.

Getting testy?

Obama has been testy and above criticism and has forbidden any questions and silenced all opposition from the start.

That is why he lost more than half of his OWN party.

To all of you who are banking on McCain becoming President, You can start spending your sons and daughters college saving, because if he is elected ,they won't need it ,because he will use his EXPERIENCE to start a military draft to keep his promise to follow his
FRIEND to the gates of hell !! So that means he plans on taking your sons and daughters with him. That is definitely the only promise he plans to keep!

LISTEN PEOPLE LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

people talking about obama is not hitting back hard enough , dont give up on obama i think obama got a strategy. this man is very smart at what he is doing. i think obama got so much on mccain he just letting hiim slid right now i think he is gonna what til late september to start hitting mccain, mccain aint gonna know what hit him, think about if he start hitting jabs right now about time end of september comes people or gonna forget about what he said. just think about it if he waits til the end of september in start hitting hard jabs until late october people are gonna stick to what he says. mccain aint gonna have a chance he went negative to early

McCain voted for a war that should have never taken place, then he comes back to say the surge is working and we are winning the war. McCain memory is not in check. He wants to say all of these things about Obama, when he voted with Bush to create this mess and soliders have lost their lives because of nonsense. McCain will call for another war if he is elected. THINK!!!!

I say lets question his military service and watch McCain show his testy side. He has a pretty big mouth I hear…

I hear so much about Georgia and how McBush will save the day. How is he going to do that I ask? Has he said. Oh yes he has, he said Evil must be eliminated. I'm guessing being we are in Iraq doing our victory dance our military so s t r e t c h e d, I guess McBush will bring back the draft so that more of our young men and woman can destroy evil, while us the taxpayers can pay to rebuild the evil countries. How pathetic. I can't believe there are so many small minded people. But i'm guessing those of you who back McBush wouldn't be affected by his policies.

How can he question Obama's patriotism…can't he see he's wearing the flag pin again?? Just when Michelle was becoming proud of her country again too. Come on already…

I believe McCain meant to say "uppity."

When is CNN going to stop repeating what McCain says and actually scrutinizing his words?

How does it feel McCain when all the crap you spread around about Obama gets blown away effortlessly. Obama doesn't have to run a dirty campaign to win because, while you're pushing your devisive politics, Obama's connecting with millions of unlikely voters and speaking for America and it's future.

Of course Obama is getting testy! He's in too deep and if he had half a brain, he's recognize it! Obama, the limited experienced candidate, considering a zero experienced vp, in Caroline Kennedy? OMG! Trying to cash in on the Kennedy name! The man has no shame and he's clueless. Kennedy is known only for her name.Give me a break. How can anyone take Obama seriously? McCain, you have it made!

This guy is incompetent and a gremlin. How on earth any rational human being would vote for him is beyond me.

Spare me. The old man is been "testy" every since Obama's foreign travels. He never should have attacked him like he did. Payback is a B**ch!

McCain is the one with the temper here. There are plenty of people who have had their encounters with him.

You want to see McCain get REALLY testy……..take away those notes and the teleprompter……..and THEN ask the man a question.

VICTORY IN SIGHT? YOU SAID "WE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN IRAQ"
"THE SURGE WORKED". NOW IT IS BACK TO VICTORY IN SIGHT.
BWA HAA HAA HAA HAA!!!

Old man river is at it again. Who does he think he is calling Obama "testy"! Is Sen. Obama not allowed to respond in kind to the horrific lies that the Republican party and McCain campaign have put out there.

Sen. McCain, I hear there is an opening at Shady Pines where you can join Dorothy, Rose and Blanche in daily games of cribbage!!

Barrack Hussein Obama/Osama Bin Laden '08 is the winning ticket. Obama will find Osama as soon as he gets into office and end all of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Osama will come to the US and enter the witness protection program, safely guarded by folks employeed with hard-earned tax dollars. Do you seriously think Obama would try/convict/execute Osama? No, he will not. So libs, can you honestly say you would support that? BJack

My children will NOT fight for you McWar! You want to fight Russia too, I know it.

Why are we in Iraq again??? WMD's???

Hillary, where for art thou? Save us from these two bozos.

Of course Obama is getting testy…the country (and democrats) are finally starting to see him for what he really is!!

CNN is so one sided. You are becoming more like entertainment tonight or a gossip magazine.

Obama supporters cant you see the emptiness of your dude.

Ditto CJ…sheep would be the optimal term indeed.

Cindy McCain's comment on why McCain married her was because he thought she would be a good wife and mother.

What was Carol McCain. Where was Carol when Cindy and John were dating when John was still living at home.

McCain lied in his book when he said Carol and him were divorced. They were still married when John went to Arizonia and got marriage papers for him and Cindy.

This man is really screwed up.

He laughs about the fact he lied about his age. McCain says that was 30 years ago. A lie is a lie. What does the time frame have to do with it?

Obama is the STAR and the voters are the Papparazzi.

He wants to be adored by the people- but can not stand to be scrutinized. Questions from those pesky pesty voters.

Let me be clear… you were not listening… I am only refining, not changing… don't parse my words.

Another words, adore me blindly and DO NOT dare to question me.

What is victory??? Please someone tell me how you can win a war based on lies?? Is mccain senile, is this all he has? Please get real ghetto man, we are suffering in this country and all you can talk about is winning a darn war where there will never be a winner?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TO MICHAEL

Yes the media does POUNCE on McCAIN's ads beause they are always NEGATIVE!!! The MSM is also out there to help McCAIN and badmouth OBAMA - but does that make it RIGHT.

So what I have learrned was to accept the fact that the MSM is only feeding into the audience who they represent, the "UNFAIR AND UNBALANCED" and I look at them as being LIARS and very DECEITFUL people and I will IGNORE them!! Sooner or later YOU will be talking to YOURSELF!!!!

How is it that the media pretty boys and girls don't challange this old f–t about his statements and his background. It seems that McCain is being allowed the same latitude with respect to the truth that Hillary was given during her campaign. Much of his background is ignored and his tendency to stretch the truth about his history. Could it be the media is afraid of him? Sure seems that way, C.N.N. by the way is one of the biggest offenders in this regard. Not much difference between C.N.N. and Fox.

Is McCain getting worried that Mr.Obama can also be aggressive and respond to McCain's criticisms? McCain started it and he should be prepared to get a dose of his own medicine. As he hiself put it it is all in good humor.

IF CLINTON IS NOT VP I WILL VOTE MCCAIN

It's only a matter of time before McCain plays the victim card, and PUMA's will have their knickers in a knot because Obama's winning against an old man. I can hear the cries now "obama stole it from hillary (first woman president?) by getting enough delgates, and now he steals it from mccain(oldest president ever?) by winning the election. REVOLT."

tedious898…..do some research…Sen. Mccaine has been right about Russia for the past 15 years…..name me one instance where Sen. Obama has been right on foreign policy….and don't give me the Iraq War because everyone seems to forget….he WASN"T A SENATOR. HE HAD NO VOTE. HE HAD NO RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PROTECTING THE NATION!

How hard can this be to understand. never mind…I know I'm just a racist

Warms my heart to read the panic in the Obamanots posts…
LMAO….

Oh… what a nice Wednesday…

McCain thinks that lying about his age with Cindy was funny.
McCain thinks throwing away your 1st wife was okay.
McCain thinks its okay to date another woman when your still married and living with your wife is okay.
McCain voted to go to war with Iraq.
McCain is lost in the Vietnam war.
McCain way to solve any problem is to go to war.
McCain is not a war hero.
McCain never won a war.
McCain has no experience.

How can any Christian vote for him?

So Mr. 894 out of 899 define what the success of the surge mean? Did that surge accomplish what was it intended to do in the first place?

"There are millions of Americans that have never served in the military but are patiortic. Obama is no different. Accussing someone of treason without actually calling it treason is disgusting. McCain is counting on American to be as stupid as he is and not know the difference. I am tired of a stupid commander and chief, Bush saw too that, so I am voting for the smart guy."

I served in the military, spent a year in Korea, did two tours in the sandbox, and I'm voting for Obama. And donating to Obama. I'm actually donating big chunks of my VA disability pension to Obama on a regular basis.

Vets support Obama.

Well, the surge has worked and Obama won't admit to that - shades of Bush Stubborness….Americans are tiried of that.
Obama is falling in the polls and that's why he's getting testy - sad that Hillary did not move correctly from Iowa onward as she thought they had won the nomination…arrogance defeats one in the end. And, the arrogance of Edwards caused a problem for Hillary C….and all the show and puffing will cause Democrats again to fail.
Obama won't win and what ever made him think he could win? He's not experienced enuough and he's too young mentally yet - he's into stardom and media lover.. A great speaker does not make a good Leader….he's more like a Judge in my opinon.
The games they all play for show…VP should of been known long ago.

When Mc(fill in the blank) define 'victory' then he can talk. Until then take your pills and have a nap!

This coming from the definition of TESTY, he has got to be kidding. Obama is not old enough to be testy. McFuddy reminds me of Sophia on the golden girls, she would just say stuff, no matter how off the wall it was, everyone just laughed and let it go cause she was old. Reminds me of JM

AND JUST TO ADD: JOHN MCCAIN WAS INVOLVED IN 'SAVINGS AND LOAN' (THAT CAUSED MANY ELDERLY CITIZENS TO COMMITT SUCIDE). . .WHAT COUNTRY DOES HE PUT FIRST?

why has CNN not posted about Cindy McCain's half siblings and her lie that she was an only child? Or the fact that she and her husband has lived off hundreds of millions of dollars while her half-siblings have nothing? Or the apparent undue influence of their mutual father in order to get his other children cut out of the estate?

Obama spent 20 years with Rev. Wright as his mentor, in my book that makes him and his Wife both Anti-Americans.

Remember the now famous U-tube video!

Obama is a joke going down in the polls rabidly after we all got to see what a school boy he is from watching saddleback.

Of course he is a little testy! He knows he will loose this fall!

McCain 08

Peter:

"calling Obama testy is another way to say "uppity black guy"".

Leave it to the Obamabots to resort to the race card as their only means of defending an incompetent candidate.

i just listened to McCain speaking on CNN and i can tell you he sounds like a rammbling bafoon. he was all over the page about georgia and oil and education. it was hard to keep up with his jumping around. is this because he didn't have one of his side-kicks there to keep him focused on what to say and not say? i was so bored i almost changed the channel but wanted to hear and see if he was going to get better…..HE DIDN'T!!

I just can’t believe McCain still talks about winning the WAR. This is an INVASION not a WAR if he cares to know. Always we are winning whilst the Iraqi people want the US out of their country.

And most people in this country are choosing a candidate based on his views on abortion. It is illegal to have an abortion but it is legal to send over 4000 people to be killed years after they are born.
Dump minded people. I hope values put money in their pockets and food on their tables.
America will be the dumbest country on the face of this earth if they vote McCain president. This country was laughed at we Bush was voted into office for the 2nd time.

Obama ask McCain to call Obama patriot. What a joke. Obama make joke from PRESIDENCY . He act like child. Wake up America. No HRC —NO OBAMA.

Get used to it President McCain.

The democrats will use anything to get into power.

If you question their experience, they call you a racist.

If you question their judgment, then apparently you are questioning their patriotism.

Luckily for America, more and more are seeing through the falsehoods and lies that ARE Barack Obama.

America will be luckily to have you President, Mr. McCain.

Obama continues to be given a free-ride from the press, even when he states an obvious and easily verifiable lie. Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez and all of the leadership in Tehran must be laughing at what they see happening here.

Obama is such a light-weight, so already "bought and paid for", that Putin can't wait for him to get into office.

We're heading toward the 3rd world with Obama as a president.

America is falling into a dangerous pit. If they think that holding onto McCain is going to save their way of life, they're just holding onto an old rotten limb that is covered in oil money profits. Use your brain, people!

McCain essentially called Obama a traitor.

Anyone care to ask what "would rather win an election than a war" really means?

McCain is DANGEROUS. For the good of your sons and daughters, vote Obama in November.

"Yesterday, Senator Obama got a little testy on this issue — he said that I am questioning his patriotism. Let me be clear: I am not questioning his patriotism; I am questioning his judgment," McCain will say.
++++++++++++++
True, McCain questions Obama's judgment, but when he suggests the motivation is to win an election, that's questioning his patriotism.

where's McCains flag pin? Unpatriotic of him isn't it?

McCain is acting like Hillary. Keep swiping at him, until he hits you back and whine that he's defending himself.

McCain said in 2003 we had "victory in Iraq".

Then he repeated it a few weeks ago. Now, we're "nearing victory".

American people…we don't need another non-thinking, hard-headed, confused individual in the White House.

Do it for your children's sake…vote Obama.

Obama is not being testy. He is just standing up for himself and pushing back against some pretty ridiculous accusations and ads that have been the backbone of the McCain campaign for the last month. He has every right to do that. Unfortunately some of the American population and media are falling for the "Rove" type campaign that McCain is running. If they fall for it like they did in 2000 and 2004, then they will get exactly what they deserve.

McCain should talk. What a bitter, angry, old man with old ideas.

If America elects him in November we deserve exactly what we get.

Americans are the laziest, whiniest, most apathetic people on the planet. Just follow the leader as long as it does not interfere with their reality t.v., doesn't require any physical effort on their part, or having to think.

PUT UP OR SHUT AMERICA!

There is a page on cnn.com that lists where the presidential candidates stand on various issues. However, it only includes 2 of the candidates? Why? Is it not newsworthy that other candidates are running? Are the media intentionally stifling competition of ideas in the political marketplace? Is it too difficult to copy and paste from third party campaign websites? Or are they just too busy fawning over Obama and McCain to do any objective reporting?

Senator McCain, you ARE questioning Senator Obama's patriotism. In fact, you are doing far worse than that. You stated that Obama is willing to "lose a war to win an election". That statement does more than question his patriotism; IT OUTRIGHT ACCUSES HIM OF TREASON!!!

I can't imagine dirtier politics than that. So much for your "clean campaign", Senator McCain. The people of this country are smarter than you think. Democrats, independents, and Republicans all see the truth.

In fact, his testiness almost sounds like a threat. Things were going BHO's way too long. When it starts to unravel, he can't handle it.

MCCAIN/ROMNEY 08

John McCain is out of touch with ordinary people. He is unfit to be a prisident of great nation.

Sorry! Obama is not getting testy. He is simply responding to McCain's questionable attacks. He is be a bit more aggressive, which he needs to do. McCain had grown accustomed to Obama's just letting McCain say what he pleases! Not going to happen anymore!

Who the heck uses the word "testy" anymore?

So, Obama is just supposed to be kept in his place?

Obama was wrong on the surge. He gets upset when this is pointed out. It makes for a difficult argument for judgement when your judgement is shown to be in error.

McCain NEEDS to explain VICTORY!!! Did not BUSH claim VICTORY "years" ago and we are still there??? McBUSH needs to explain what WINNING THE WAR means??? Has anyone notice the little "tidbit" in McCain's remark… "Senator Obama has made it clear that he values withdrawal from Iraq above victory in Iraq, even today with victory in sight."…

NOTICE the last three words "… victory in sight"… What sight? Is McBush saying that one day he will wake up and say "VICTORY" and then start to withdraw troops???? Is that "in sight" going to be within the timeframe the Prime Minister has set - which is the same timeframe Obama has been saying all along!!!??? Come on now - we're not STUPID!!!! MSM should jump on that - but they're afraid of the REPUBS!!!!….. OBAMA 2008-2016!!! YES WE CAN!!!

To all of you who are banking on McCain becoming President, You can start spending your sons and daughters college saving, because if he is elected ,they won't need it ,because he will use his EXPERIENCE to start a military draft to keep his promise to follow his
FRIEND to the gates of hell !! So that means he plans on taking your sons and daughters with him. That is definitely the only promise he plans to keep!

And what is YOUR judgment McCrook !! You have been flip flopping at every turn. You have lied, plagiarized, cheated, joked about bombing Iran. You are a nobody who happens to have married a rich girl and if elected president you will be worse than Bush !

McCain is a liar. He did attack Obama's patriotism and now he is lying about it.

McCain said that we achieved victory in iraq in 2003 - now in 2008 he has claimed that the surge worked.

yet, here we are, in august 2008, and the troop levels have NOT gone down to "pre-surge" levels, people are still dying, our troops are still stuck in iraq, and all the while Al Qaeda runs rampant in afghanistan.

OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE - MCCAIN HAS ONLY ONE AGENDA, AND THAT IS GEORGE W. BUSH'S

What does this guy know, Mccain is a person who committed adultry and wont owe up to it. His wife wont even claim her own blood relation, maybe it was because she might fear John would commit another round of adlutry with her sister. He did it with his first wife, what is there stop him in doing it again. So you puma people is this the kind of people you want in the white house. He is right in line witth Bill and John Edwards, one of them would be a good vp pick for him.

If McCant wins…we should realize we are over-run with the lowest voter intelligence in the world. We would essentially be voting for the guy that can promote the most negative, false and outright lies in a political spin context. Not the most intelligent guy but the guy that says we need to "shoot everybody and let God sort em out"

Yeah …that will bring America back to global prominence. But my question is…haven't we already been doing that for the last 7.5 yrs and look where its gotten us(?)

Hey Peter - the race card is getting tired. You should probably save that for an actual racist remark.

But in the same comment you rail against "dementia and senility".

So real or imagined racism is bad but age-ism and sexism seems to be OK in the Obama camp. Any other discriminations in the New Order I should know about that are OK? I want to know who I can make fun of in Obama's name.

John McCain would make a terrible president. He is a old man who can't keep up with the times. He has a history of having an abusive attitude towards women. If he were to become president it would be a nightmare from day one. No body would support him and if he did the draft nobody would go. He has no personality. He can't even give an inspiring speech. I have no respect for him.

MCWAR YOU WILL LOSE BIG TIME COME NOVEMBER

Obama is getting testy because he is beginning to see reality, and it does not look good for the newcomer.

He can't honestly expect to breeze thru this election saying whatever he wants about Obama without being called out. As long as he keeps denying that he can do no wrong, more and more people will start thinking he's an honest man. I'm sure he learned a thing or two from "only child cindy". Cindy will try to convince the public that she is the only Hensely child, and there are no half sisters.

If Obama's judgement is impaired, then why did the Iraqi's endorsed his proposal to withdraw troops. Why did the Bush administration bomb the mountains of Pakistan as Obama suggested? It amazes me how people are gullible to believe that McCain has better judgement about Iraq because he has been in the senate longer. So far, he has been wrong in every foregin policy issue. Iraq did not have WMDS. We were not treated at liberators in Iraq. He believed Mushaff was an ally when he was corrupted. How does years in the senate equate to experience if you are always wrong? Second, it we are winning in Iraq, why can't we leave. Third, what is victory? Fourth, where is Bin Laden? Fifth, you can't stay in a soverign nation that doesn't want us there.

John McCain should know testy, he has been that way since it was apparent that a much younger, brighter, more intelligent and more likeable peson would be his running mate.

No victory for old man

For the love of god if the iraq people wanted freedom they would have risen up against saddam and died for that cause. Iraq is a mistake and mccain can not say it. Give me testy and right judgement over experienced angered any day.

Mcain what happen to your positive campaign you said you were gonna run once again mccain your a LIAR and as far as questioning obamas patriosm YOUR A LOW SNAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ANYONE CAN SUPPORT THIS LOW ROAD CANIDATE IS BEYOND ME HE IS NO MAVERICK HE IS BUSH 2 ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but your judgement is horrible Dubya 2.

I think Obama is getting testy.

The first debate can be billed as 'The Testy Young Man' vs the 'Grumpy Old Man'. I know I'll be watching. I'm putting my money on Grumpy.

And on a side note, it dosen't seem to matter that Obama has more campagn money that McCain. Obama can run is on TV to the point of over kill. McCain just has to run his once and Obama and the media will pounce on it and give it all kinds of air and internet time.

Well hell's bells — with all the attacks from McCain who wouldn't get testy! They're just not used to the dems striking back — and it's about time we did.

You Dems just don't get it. Keep putting up these ultra liberals like Gore and Obama and us Moderates will keep rejecting them. You can call McCain names all day and it will not change the fact that America is a moderate to conservative country. Put up a moderate Democrat and we will elect them.

would just like to take a moment, after being seriously sickened by reading about Georgia, Russia and Poland, and personally thank all the Hillary supporters voting for McCain.

Being an ex-republican I am absolutely DISGUSTED with the direction this country is going, but I have come to the realization that a country like ours is only as good as those people who are willing to be civically responsible.

So thank you PUMA and Clinton/ McCain backers for the onslaught on WW III, economic depression and marshall law. I realize of course, that I am a bit premature in my gratitude but I have every confidence if any ignorant selfish people could pull off completely destroying this country and democracy it will be you.

Hats off to the misguided, uniformed and just don't give a darn population!!! Putin, Iran, and Osama are counting on you!

testy? this coming from a guy who is borderline….nuts?

So Obmana is fighting back and you can not take it way to go the
big O

On saturday, mcsenile declared victory in iraq, today he's now saying victory is in sight. what exactly is victory, mcwar?

why don't the media pin him down on his double talk. they are way to easy on the old man. If sen obama were to do that, it would be breaking news for 48 hours.

Nova and JD your comments are right on the mark and I agree 100%

Testy?

Quite a remark coming from a fear-mongering hate merchant like McCain

Rick
did you really just put lieberman's words into mccains mouth?
you really need to get a little more creative

Victory in Iraq is defined by 1. driving al qaeda out (pretty much done since they've made it clear they will be focusing on afghanistan now and not iraq) and 2. establishing a stable democracy that can defend itself (the Iraqi army is starting to do more for itself and there are many anti-terrorist militias now across the country who volunteered to kill al-qaeda operatives)

As for Obama being testy, I think he's more like a little kid who found out he's starting to lose, so he starts kicking and screaming hoping everyone will feel bad for him and let him win.

VICTORY !!!!

- Made shiites strong in Iraq-Iran-Syria-Lebanon belt
- Osama is still alive
- Iran developed Nuke
- Israel under threat from Iran
- Still Kurds are wondering where they stand …

…Whom does this guy work for, US Tax Payers ??!!!

Look at this from McCain's perspective. He's 72 years old. This is most likely the only time in his life he can run for President. If he wins, he will likely only serve 1 term.

This is, what, his 3rd try at shooting at becoming POTUS. He's probably thinking at this point to do and say whatver will work to get him into the WH. He views Obama as young and can run several times over throughout his lifetime if he so desires to become president.

Unlike Obama, time is not on McCain's side. He cannot afford to lose this election, as he probably knows it's the last shot he has at the presidency. I'm not saying cut him any slack, but if you take these factors into consideration, you can begin to see why in the past several weeks, he campaign went extremely negative.

Nothing but the TRUTH…………thanks mmvanderson.

No McCain, I question your judgment, you voted for the Iraq war.

There are millions of Americans that have never served in the military but are patiortic. Obama is no different. Accussing someone of treason without actually calling it treason is disgusting. McCain is counting on American to be as stupid as he is and not know the difference. I am tired of a stupid commander and chief, Bush saw too that, so I am voting for the smart guy.

Obama 08

I would think that if ever anything did get a rise out of a candidate for president, it WOULD/SHOULD be the challenging of his patriotism.

Besides, I wonder how Johnny would respond to being reminded that the blood of 4100+ Americans is on his hands;
and STILL… NO - Bin Laden.

Yes, Johnny; we know… the surge is working (blah,blah,blah). Saddam was an evil dictator (blah,blah,blah).

Anyway, Barak made an appropriate response to your inappropriate suggestion.

Our troops will “Come home with Honor and Dignity” Sounds like Richard Nixon to me. Exactly the same words including a period.

Obama may be slipping in the polls but he should keep focused and on point, not letting smirks and remarks such as this distract him. He is starting to go after every attack, no matter how small, from McCain. I believe this is a huge mistake. Put up your ads fine, but keep your cool when talking to audiences. Be forceful, less professorial and more direct. It's fine to be thoughtful and nuanced or whatever, but deliver the lines quickly and to the point. He did this very well in the primaries and he needs to go back to that.

I seriously question McCain's judgment and what has he been doing the past 26 years! 20 out of the past 28 years we have had Republican presidents and look what it has gotten us to. Senator McCain has been there for 26 of the past 28 years supposedly as part of the solution? No thanks to McCain. GOP - goofy old party.

I thought George Bush was incompetent.

McCain is worse than Bush!
He will not win!

McCain is acting like he is losing his bearings for real. Now he is trying to paint Obama as an angry black man. He and his campaign have been trying to provke Obama and make him appear unpatriotic, and out for his own polictical gain. The Obama campaign isn't going after McCain in a strong enough fashion as far as I'm concerned. Barack needs to take off the kid gloves.

Response To Clinton-McCain -

Joe Lieberman, McCain surrogate (i.e. the one who says what McCain cannot) said that one candidate (McCain) puts his country first and one does not. Most news sources online will let you enter a persons name in the search engine and you will get a number of articles outlining what that person has said or done. So check out my story if you like.

I fear most people don't know who said what because unless you are truly following this election via multiple resources, you get a 30 second blurb on either candidate on the nightly network news to make your decision on.

To Kara -

You're a sad human being.

Listen, this is simple.

Anyone who votes for John McCain is a traitor not only to this country, but to the future of the human race. It's pretty much the stupidest decision any human being could make.

McLame bores me to death. He would be the most boring president in history… Not just American history, but the history of the world! I am listening to this dude on CNN and I cannot force myself to listen to this mono-tone crap anymore

Obama sparks a fire to the American moral during these tough times!

GObama '08

We can't set a deadline to leave Iraq because the insurgents will just wait it out. A real plan is to wait until it's really dark out, and sneak all 200,000 troops out when the insurgents are sleeping. That way they will still think the troops are there.

Come on. Is this really what you should be reporting as the best news source?

You have every right to question Obama's judgement Sen. McCain because it seems he can't think on his own without being scripted ahead of time.

Johnnie Mac…

Let's just say for a split second, I believe that you're questioning his judgment on Iraq…eventhough I don't believe you for a thousandth of a second. For the sake of argument let's say I do.

Would we have been in Iraq had you read the Foreign Intelligence Estime on Iraq (the foundation for the war) and understood what it said? Would we have been in Iraq had you sided with Vallery Plame's husband on the false accusation your good friend Bush and best of pals Dick were making regarding Iraq and WMDs? Would we have been in Iraq had we put all our resources to find Bin Laden–eventhough you say you would follow him to the gate of hell…but won't go get him in Pakistan? What is victory in Iraq?

Senator, if you can't answer those questions, then anything you have to say about another man's judgment on that issue is moot and means nothing to me. Senator you need to use some of that judgment and appologize to those 4,200 men/women's families whom wouldn't have lost a loved one in Iraq had you not voted for it. Senator, please tell me if I should not call you McArthur and challenge you to either call your fellow senator a traitor or leave the subject alone because using code words in this juncture is unbecoming.

Senator if you can't do either of the things I mentioned above, tell me, please do soon…WHY SHOULD I VOTE FOR YOU?

It appears some of his sheep are getting testy as well…..I thought the libs were all about love, piece and hapiness. Some of these comments sound like they are from a 2nd Grader. Oh wait

CNN is in the tank for McCain and it is showing in all of their so-called "trusted name in news". NOT!

I refuse to watch the smear of Senator Obama in their "Revealed" show tonight while they depict McShame in glowing, American, Patriotic, Public Service terms.

CNN is just as guilty in their biases as the people of WV and KY were against Sen. Obama during the primaries.

NOT TO WORRY! GOD IS THE GREATEST EQUALIZER!

I know CNN will not post this comment.

Dude, at least he was single when he applied for a marriage license. I'll take 'testy' over 'total lack of moral principle' any day.

REMEMBER 2004 DEMS - DONT STOP TIL ITS OVER!!!!
PU (Party Unity)

Nova from NV August 20th, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Obama is getting testy because he is tanking in the polls…… People questioned Obama's ability to lead our country in a crisis. This is a legitimate concern which people should debate about. Please think about it.
****************
…you my fellow american are not the sharpest pin in the box…now are you? Tell me at what point have you known John McCain to have been right about foreign policy? "Victory is in sight" along with some beach front property in AZ. Oh that's right …there are no beaches in AZ. No sitting US Sen. would allow a warmonger like McCant to bash with Anti-christ and patriotism remarks without responding…would U ?

Here is McCain's judgement on Iraq. Let's Review:

"There's no doubt in my mind that we will prevail and there's no doubt in my mind, once these people are gone, that we will be welcomed as liberators." –on the Iraq war"
McCain- [Hardball, March 24, 2003]

“Because I know that as successful as I believe we will be, and I believe that the success will be fairly easy, we will still lose some American young men or women.” McCain- [CNN, 9/24/02]

“We’re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad. We may have to take out buildings, but we’re not going to have a bloodletting of trading American bodies for Iraqi bodies.” [CNN, 9/29/02]

“But the point is that, one, we will win this conflict. We will win it easily.” McCain-[MSNBC, 1/22/03]

Someone should remind him of his own judgement! He obviously is having problems remembering his OWN statements on Iraq.

What does McCain stand for? I have yet to hear anything about his plans besides Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran and Drill, Drill, Drill.

When is the Maverick coming back? He would be surprised at this guy.

I'm questioning McCain's suits…

Oh, give me a break with this kindergarten type mentality! Also why is Iraq (which the U.S. invaded) the noun, verb and adjective of almost every sentence flowing from his tongue?

Poor Barry O, can't keep the Clinton's from playing in his sand box, can't find a VP that will bring in more white votes, can't find a position on any issue that will form a concensus in the party. What's a poor old testy man to do?

He can't win.
He can't win now.
He won't win in November.

McCain '08

Obama only began wearing the Flag on his label during the Primaries and then only when someone gave him the lapel pin.

Remember, Obama used to listen to Jeremiah Wright's sermons
for over 20 years.

Would you say Jeremiah Wright is all together Patriotic?

McCain may not question Obama's patriotism, but many do. he listened to rev Wright's 'GD America' rants for 20 years. How patriotic is that?

In the end, Obama will win. McCain lovers can have their week of good polling conducted in a week during which Obama was on vacation. Once Obama picks HRC, it is over. And he will pick HRC. Springfield, Team of Rivals…. Is Joe L. going to win in a debate against HRC. HA! That is a laugh.

What? McCain you were part of the biggest blunder in American history!!!

You, McCain, voted YES, to start an unwarranted war!!!

To answer your moral failure question Saturday: IRAQ VOTE WAS YOUR BIGGEST MORAL FAILURE not you cheating on your wife!!!!

Obama is the coolest man I've ever seen in my entire life. The majority of the Black people in America would agree to this. McCain wishes he could be a fraction of Barack Obama.

Pretty convenient that there was a conflict in Georgia when Obama was taking a vacation. It's almost as if it was planned. ; )

"With Victory in sight?" What does that mean exactly Mr. McCain?
What Victory?

We stormed into Iraq, overtook and murdered the leadership, sent our children to die for the interest of a few and still NOTHING!

VICTORY + MCCAIN = MISSION ACCOMPLISHED + BUSH

IT MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Senator Obama has made it clear that he values HUMAN LIFE by pushing for a withdrawal from Iraq. Anyone with a brain knows that a traditional "victory" in the Middle East by a Western democracy will never happen. McSame's shameless pandering to the pro-life base will only dig himself a deeper hole. Anyone who can see the logic in saving fetuses now, only to have them blown up by insurgents in 20 years needs a serious reality check.

I agree with Peter.
The nerve of that black guy.
McCain says Obama's personal ambition is more important to him that our country - that Obama has no more depth than Britney & Paris - And he's arrogant, unpatriotic and not ready for primetime…
The nerve of that black guy to respond and get "testy"!

The minstrel days are gone, old white guy!
You're goin' down with 'em.

No, McCain would like Obama to get testy, so he tries to manipulate the thoughts in our heads. Well, we are much brighter and smarter to fall for it. So for John McCain, I have no respect for; because apparently he does not respect us and our intelligence.

Once again, Obama is trying to paint himself out to be the perennial victim by cooking up more speculation and LIES about the opposition. Yes, he is a victim… of his own hubris and foolishness.

If America is so dumb that it votes in this ill-qualified man, they deserve the next four years of war, recession, no healthcare, no retirement savings, the draft, and daily terrorism threats and all the other crap baggage McCain carries with him.

Obama … landslide 2008.

Kara,
I just wanted to inform you that due to your comment I will make another donation to the Obama campaign. Silly comments make me donate, donate, and donate.

AS I HAVE SAID IN THE PAST WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER 4 PLUS YEARS OF BUSH WHICH IS WHAT WE WILL GET WITH MC SAME.

WOULD LOVE TO SEE HILLARY AS HIS RUNNING MATE. EVEN WITH THE BAGGAGE SHE BRINGS IT WOULD INSURE VICTORY.

Obozo's getting testy because he can't close the deal. He should be 20 points ahead in the polls by now, but he's barely squeaking by. And after he stutters his way through the debates, he'll be way behind

Oh, and Obamabots - Gallup DOES call cell phones - check their website

McCain '08 for Hillary '12

McCain's hair trigger foreign policy scares me. In the state of Georgia's case, the United States were not being attacked. I'm glad candidate Obama took time to think. We have a president on the job, poor performance as it is, to make the necessary moves. John McCain can't wait to get his hands on the military and everyone should be very afraid.

TO MCCAIN…

ACCORDING TO MY HUSBAND THAT IS STILL IN IRAQ, 2ND DEPLOYMENT…WHAT AND WHEN WILL VICTORY COME? ..WHAT SURGE….JUST MORE US SOLDIERS GETTING KILLED….THAT'S THE SURGE FOR YOU MCCAIN….

Are you scared fearmongerer?

Judgment is not voting for the war,which John McCain did.
or does this bias media forgot that or just dont want to call him out for it.

McCain has absolutely no character or integrity. He has called Obama unpatriotic many times and now he is trying to deny it. He will lie, lie and then lie some more if he thinks it will win him a few votes. MCCain does not have the judgement or honesty to be in the White House.

That's what you get for listening to Campbell Brown. I think that she is the worst , unbiased Hilliary Clinton reporter on tv. Change the channel like I do.

Imagine a little kid walking up to you with his friends and he starts hitting you. You don't want to hit the kid back… because he is a kid. So the kid starts calling you names and hitting more and tells the other kids to join in. Some of them start getting rocks and stuff. You try to keep the high ground and just keep them at bay, but eventually, you're going to have to hit a kid. McCain is such a child it is sad for his age.

if one views obama's recent apperances he does sound a little more "testy", in general. he seems to have lost that loftiness and uplifting quality that attracted so many in the early days of the primaries. and it is not only obama who has been sounding testy, but many of his surrogates and supporters have taken a similar tone. people may not want to agree with mccain, but the perception is not his alone.

So what exactly constitutes "victory" in Iraq? America is tired of this endless war and it's enourmous drain on our economy.

Please, Senator McCain, find another issue to drone on and on about, because you're wrong on this one.

McCain is an old, tired, stupid fool

This old man has a brain of 2 years old. All he knows is war and violence for all his life what can one exepect from this angry and tempered old man?. None.

He is getting a little testy. Obama can't believe that people should question him. He is our savior and our "star". Maybe another speech in Europe will help or he could rent out a stadium and have a coming out to Jesus… oops I mean coming out to Obama event. I know polls are just that - polls, but it sure looks like a tight race. Proves how out of touch the democratic party is with America. This should have been an easy race based on the current circumstances. There is a huge seperation in this country. Bottom line, do we really want one party controling everything. Actually the balance and get nothing done two party system may be better for the majority. Otherwise we will be too far left or right and well over half the people will be alienated.

oh so he's getting testy now huh?

looky-here McKing of Testiness, you are one to talk.

you are evil and the truth ain't in ya!

Obama '08

McSame should just stop with this madness. He is always questioning Obama's patriotism. He feels that only a POW should qualify for the office and that is not true.

Hello Pot, Kettle calling.

McCain has been nothing but a cranky old geaser who only attacks and never stands on any issues. Then if he should ever stop attacking Obama for a second, any issue he does talk about is a flip flop of where he use to stand. So he cheats, lies, and panders. Yeah, that's who we really want as our next President. You gotta be kidding me people!

Peter - and calling that lady with the question fiesty is just code word for "loudmouthed woman who shouldn't be taken seriously."

Bringing the race card into this general election has failed miserably for Obama compared to his success against Clinton with the race issue. Everytime Obama brings up the race issue (which you try to do here), the McCain camp has immediately attacked and forced Obama to retract.

Ever notice the most repeated words that come out of Mr. Magoo's mouth are "surge", "Miss Buffalo Chip", and "I don't recall"..

I see. John McHothead calls someone testy. Yeah, I get it.

Since McCain can't seem to speak on anything without a script to practice from, he would have to wake up quite a few people before he could respond to a "3 am call.

The old man is still stuck in 'Nam trying to win a war which he himself cannot even define what winning means. Pathetic. And even more pathetic is the most recent polls putting him ahead of Obama. There is just no more hope for this hopeless country.

Always accuse your opponents of your own failings. That way, it's not new when you get caught doing the same thing you accused the other guy of doing.

If victory is in sight, then it should not be unreasonable to accept Obamas idea of a 16 month timeline to withdraw most American Troops. As to judgement, Obama was one of the few Democrats with courage to say we should focus on Afghanistan and Al Queda as opposed to invading Iraq. Obama should just run Most Wanted Commercials with Osama Bin Ladens face and a picture of Bush and McCain with the heading: Failed to protect the American People.

"John McCain, who has always put the country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate who has not."

That is Lieberman introducing a smiling McCain.

It says NOTHING about his judgment - it SPECIFICALLY says that he does not put his country first.

McCain is LYING!

LOL. Thats all I have to say. You all are sheep

It is long overdue for him to get testy. Why would America continue to vote for the mud-slinging candidates? It is beyond me. But, no matter how hard we try we can't get around the people stating the real reason why they are not voting for Obama. McCain just gives them another disguise for the truth. But you have to look yourself in the mirror. MCCain has lied about just about everything. But if that is what America is comfortable as a President then we get what we deserve.

"even today with victory in sight."

Sounds the same as "mission accomplised" to me!!!!

It is truly unreal to me that anyone with any sense would think that we won't as a nation and as individuals be better off with Barack Obama .

We do need to improve our education system so the world won't think we are a nation that chooses our President based on stupidity and lies.

Look at the polls and you will see the reason for his current mood. As hard as it is for the mindless minions to grasp. Not everyone is falling in line for the Messiah. Now that America is seeing him without a teleprompter, they don't like what they see. Time for his followers to take the blinders off.

Mcain is angry!!!!!!!

A pow like him no thanks

I still can't believe Americans are considering voting for this joker, Bush, part 3. I mean WOW. The average American voter is as dumb as a doorknob. Most don't want to research between the 2 candidates because GOD forbid that would mean READING. They would rather listen to the media and watch a debate or 2 and pick the guy who's good at playing "make believe."

JOHN MCCAIN IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE ECONOMY, GREEN ENERGY, OR ENDING POVERTY. THIS MAN HAS A SINGLE AGENDA OF WAR, AND VICTORY IS STILL UN-DEFINED.

WHY BOTHER SAYING "WAKE UP" TO A BUNCH OF AMERICAN FOOLS STUCK IN A COMA.

Truth Hurt? Huh?

Who are you to question anything McSame as BUSH? You and BUSH got us into this mess in the first place. We and the world question your judgement to even go into Iraq. You must first admit your mistake then we can talk about your SURGE. Don't put the cart before the horse. You are a SICK man McInsane.
Obama08 PLEASE

Oh only you can question anothers character and judgement.
Oh but all h-ll breaks loose if they do unto you huh McBlame.

Anyone voting for you is just about the same as you …………a box of rocks

How can an invasion based on falsified documents be victorious?

Perfect. I noticed Campbell Brown last night mention that McCain was attacking Obama's patriotism, but then she never said how. I never heard McCain once question Obama's patriotism.

Does anyone really CARE about victory in Iraq? I'd rather have fewer dead American troops than to be able to declare ourselves victors over a war that we don't belong in.

SHUT UP AND G
