When I heard Obama saying this phrase, I took it as an insult towards Palin, because Palin referenced "difference between a soccer mom and pit bull, lip stick". Obama likely will lose his spot light in the weeks ahead, because of Palin. Biden is a good man, but Obama should have could of picked Hillary as his VP, instead I believe his feeling against Hillary got in his way. Hillary as his VP pick may have helped Obama in a big way!

I support Barack Obama and am distressed by his drop in the polls. Having said that, McCain's "BIG" lead of two points yesterday has already dropped to one????

They change day by day, hour by hour. We should be focused on issues and not polls. And if we're discussing issues ask yourself a question: Do the top 1% of people earning over $600,00.00 really need a tax cut? According to McCain, they do while everyone else gets higher taxes. I don't know about you but I don't need higher taxes, I need a tax cut and I'm not in the top 1%. If McCain wins, I guess I won't be getting that break. Polls don't mean a thing.

I wonder why Obama is taking on Sarah Palin, I find it curious that a Presidentail candidate would openly discuss the opposing VP candidate, I guess that is part of the change message too.

Obama wanted to teach kindergarden children "about sex before they could read". For those who take these ads as the truth they will be asking themselves how they could vote for someone that would support such a bill. In truth the bill that Obama supported was to teach children about how to protect themselves from adults that would take advanatage of them. For those of us who work with children who have suffered sexual abuse, we understand that it is important for children to understand that no adult has the right to touch them in a way that makes them uncomfortable. The very fact that the McCain people would take such an important bill, one that could save a lot of children from being abused and make it into something ugly is not only unfair, it is a lie and the McCain should come out and admit that it was unfair to take a bill that was this important and make it look like Obama simply wanted to give kindergarden children sex education. If McCain or Obama wants to attack the other than at least tell the truth, all of the truth and not just the part that makes the other person look bad.

Palin seems to have become the media darling of the hour, but I think as people hear more and more about the continuation of the present economic policies, I am really hoping that people will become disenchanted with the thought of McCain as president. Due to Bush economic policies, my husband who retired, had to go back to work. We are hoping that if Obama is elected president, we might be able to see some relief and that he can retire for good. By the way, the stimulus package that was sent out, we used to buy propane for the winter and banked the rest. I really do hope that this simply a blip on the radar.

He's slandered Obama (implied he was unpatriotic and would prefer to lose a war to win an election [what does that even mean?}). And now he's going even farther - pretending that Obama wants to sex-up kindergarteners, by grossly distorting the purpose of a bill that was aimed at preventing child molestation!!! So where has McCain's integrity gone? And since he's gaining in the polls by going so negative - what message does that give to future campaigns? If the R's win again this way, just think how nasty future campaigns are going to be. So keep strong - vote Obama- and direct the focus back to the issues.
