Calm down you desperate Left Wing Radicals!! McCain NEVER made such a statment and even LAUGHED when he heard it. He said "it's crazy to think I invented anything, never mind the Blackberry". WOW, are the Liberals desperate..

Just go back to Bashing Palin why don't you! GEEZZZ!

People you missed the bigger issue. McCain's advisior said he doesn't EXPECT McCain to know every detail about the economy, finance, etc. He will depend on Advisors for this! So instead of him acting like a President he will DEPEND on Advisors to make the decisions for him! WOW! Isn't Bush doing the SAME THING and that's why we're in the mess we're in now!

Hunh?

Say it ain't so! I'd say wake me up to vote November 4th, but there's still work to do. Go team Obama

Obama/Biden '08

Tony -

I've got a name you're probably familiar with hearing a lot… Haywood Jablome?

He can't use a computer, doesn't know how to email, yet is responsible for the creation of the blackberry? I learned to run before I learned to crawl and walk , so I believe him.

Hate to break it to you McCain, but Blackberry is from Canada. Nice try though.

This is SILLY SEASON !!!!

Lmao. Wow. They're really grasping at straws here.

Let's get some accurate reporting - the speaker was referencing the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which helped create the environment for the flourishing of mobile communication devices, NOT the invention of the BlackBerry itself - please … only a complete moron or a biased reporter would infer such a notion. The American electorate, we can only hope, is smarter than this.

ahahahhahahaha…. struggle for breath…..hahahahahahahhaaaahhhhaaaaahaa…. choking with laughter…. brouhahahahahahaha

The fact that he still has votes at all is amazing and disturbing.

The guy who doesn't know how to use a computer, send an e-mail, or get in the "internets", now invented the blackberry? LOL! THE GOP IS FULL OF IT!

Obama campaign said:

The Obama campaign responded to the comments minutes after they were reported. “If John McCain hadn’t said that ‘the fundamentals of our economy are strong’ on the day of one of our nation’s worst financial crises

What a bunch of idiots does the Great Depression not ring a bell the Crash of Thursady October 24, 1929 was the worst in this nations history but of course followed by the folowing Monday and Tuesday.

Lets don't lose sight of history here.

And the dems have created the Black Barry, they have a candidate with overblown credentials, who even in his on memoirs talks about himself looking in the mirror all the time…LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
have a nice day

Read the quote and not the headline. The quote actually says that he was on the committee responsible for promoting the rise of telecommunications…not that he created the blackberry.

The strong fundamentals of this economy helped create the Blackberry.
Wow, I put 2 dumb statements together to make a gigantically stupid one.

I'm sure this claim will come as a big surprise to Research in Motion, the Canadian company that, until now, was considered the inventor of the Blackberry.

What I have really found amusing out of all of this is the attack that the
Democratic candidates have levied on Senator McCain for his comment that the fundamentals of our economy remain strong. The amusing part to me about this is how Senator Obama and his campaign staff can brag about raising $66 million during the month of August, then claim the economy is hurting. If the American people are in such dire straits, why is that they can afford to give $66 million dollars a man running for president. If he truly cared about the economy shouldn't he have taken the public financing and not
relied on the poor American worker's money?

After all, Senator Obama is opposed to special interests contributing to campaigns, isn't he?

I also read that Barbara Streisand is holding a $31 thousand a plate fundraiser for Senator Obama this evening. How, can an economy in dire straits support such a lavish affair?

If Obama doesn't believe that the fundamentals of the economy are strong, he is truly more scary than I had believed he was.

Even if the neophyte didn't believe it, why in the world would he say such a thing when people are already jittery about their economic security?

So McCain's senior domestic policy advisor doesn't believe the president should actually have a plan before taking office or be much involved in planning once he's in.

And when said advisor realizes how lame that actually sounds, he cracks a joke about McCain inventing the BlackBerry.

How can a man who sat on the Commerce Committee "Not really know much about the economy"? What was he doing in the committee? Sleeping?

Thank Heaven we have a choice–Obama '08!

No, no, no..

McCain had to have discovered fire..

So McCain's senior aide, Matt McDonald, says this is the "joke of a boneheaded staffer"… that "staffer" is… wait for it… McCain's very own senior domestic policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin! The whole McCain campaign is one big boneheaded joke!

Palin has more experience than Obama September 16th, 2008 9:03 am ET

Sen. Obama and Biden are part of congress and the DEms have been in control for 6 years. Seems like they both are part of the problem.
——————————————————————————————–

SEE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A LOW INFORMATION VOTER. THE DEMOCRATES HAVE ONLY HAD CONTROL OF THE CONGRESS FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS. DUMMY!

Why is this hard to believe? He's certainly old enough to have invented blackberries. Although I picture him as more of a plum/prune guy.

The BlackBerry is not a miracle! A miracle would be something like McCain-Palin actually talking about real issues, or helping those that have lost jobs and homes in record numbers due to these current policies get back on their feet! Oh wait, the economy is sound!

Obama/Biden 08 PERIOD!

"Off with you, you have no power here"

–Glinda the good witch to the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz"

that's funny. the guy who does not know how to send emails and were able to invent blackberry..

Really!!! Does he know how to use one!! What is he doing?

Invent what? This is a man who doesn't know how to use internet, or e-mail?…..LOL…LOL ….McDumb —the great inventor?

Powerful information !!!!!! ……………..exactly the type of information Obama should be very busy showing to Americans…!!!

"… the Dow lost 500+ points to close at 10,917. More trouble is still expected …

On the day GW Bush took office, the Dow was 10,578. Wow! Meaning thath in 8 years of Republicans administration there was a 3.1% gain — in 8 long years!

If the Dow today has another day like yesterday, we will actually be below where we were the day Bush took office!!!!

On the other hand, the Dow average the day Bill Clinton took office was 3,242. The Dow thus went up 226%! in 8 years of Democratic administration!!!!!!

By the way–
THe Blackberry incident was laughed at by McCain—
You are grasping at anything–

Obviously you Obama fans don't read the whole article. It was a joke and perhaps to get you blogging off on something stupid so you will sound stupid for not reading it. McCain laughed when he heard this so he knows what they are up to. It's called "Diversion" and you are falling for it. The more you put him down the more people think twice about Obama.

All right, people, you can now replace the "Al Gore invented the internet" joke with "McCain created the Blackberry."

Obama/Biden 08

Bottom line, either take what you have now for the next 4 years or turn and try to receive something new and better. This is simple people! It's not hard if you are running out of money and/or losing your home or job then vote for change (Obama). If you are fine with suffering, if you think you can leave under Bush policies for another 4 years, and if you think our country and soldiers can stand 8 more years of wars then vote (McCain). It can't get any simplier

Too Funny………..Does McCain know what a Blackberry is?

This is a reach LOL

Even the Japanese knew when it was time to surrender,give it up John and go home,your credibility has expired.

"How low can you get, Getlow?"

–from the Broadway musical, "Purlie Victorious"

It's almost like the Repub's live in a dream world. For real! I still think that when you are applying for the job of President of the US, you need a psychological screening and MRIs of the brain. I don't care if you're a Demo or Repub. That should be required. Because Bush is a bobble-head nut case and McCain is obivously senile.

You go McCain! AZ's got your back!
A VOTE FOR OBAMA= A VOTE FOR TRAGEDY!

MCCAIN/PALIN '08!

I think the american people can recognize a "Boneheaded Joke" when they see one……

This is how bad my party's nominee has become. I especially love the line about "he helped regulate that industry, and then de-regulate it".

Idiots. Voting for my party in this cycle just proves how stupid people can be. Seriously people, get a clue.

Seems like this was more of an effort to convince people McCain knows what a Blackberry device IS than an effort to position him as a legislative leader. Somehow, it falls flat though. Like, if the guy can't work e-mail, he probably can't manage to sync these puppies either. Pathetic, really. Kind of like his entire campaign, his party, its platform, and his oh-so-earnest talk about how he's the same guy he was in 2000. Right. McCain lies.

This blog is for far left loonies to feel important that someone is listening and think they care—
I saw on one of these that a African American stated —I have never been polled—well of course not—tHe numbers are factored @ over 90% will be for Obama—

But I am so glad that the Obama campaign keeps hammering McCain on his age—
THis is beautiful–The most loyal voting block is the over 65 or retired-
You can never replace ignorance–
Thanks Obama Campaign for ensuring your demise—

If Al Gore can create the Internet, well ….

Right, and Sarah Palin is the CEO of PETA… Keep 'em coming folks, keep 'em coming…

I think that any man that goes to war invading some other poor country, falls in trap and was imprisoned is a failure. Oh, I thought we last war in Vietnam, and guess who was in it Mr. McCain, same is going to be for our economy and this election. I feel sorry for the poor guy, or should i say Rich Guy. I think he is a new era Rambo to Nowhere. Once you loose your job, don't blame Bush for it. He already admitted to his poor presidency ratings. McCain said, "economy is strong", well we all saw that with Katrina, Gustav, and Ike. Not only that we are doing wrong to crash economy, even God hates us. American worker is strong and not just American, but any other worker who is willing to enrich his life. Well is not so much like that anymore. I saw it this week, there was less traffic on interstate like the half world just died. Is it that people lost their jobs or that people just can not afford $5 dollars for the gallon of gas. McCain or should i say McBlame will fail just as same he failed in Vietnam, where is He taking us "To Failure", that's where or I guess there is The Light on the other side of Palin's Bridge to Nowhere.

My son went to the same university as Jim Basille in Waterloo Ontario where the RIM company is located. Further to this Jim is a native of Peterborough Ontario where I live.

In the final analysis both my son's and Jim's expertise in computers would make John McCain look like a total moron. This claim is not only moronic but is an insult to the intelligence and educational level these people achieved through their own initiatives and not achieved through family connections or inheritances.

I just can't believe the American public can swallow so many lies these out of touch and immoral spread on a daily basis. Haven't you people had enough of this garbage over the past 8 years?

After over half a century since the discovery of computer, the Republican nominee, John McCain, still don't know how to use a computer. The question is: where's the brain in the head?
Or should this be a case of the dullest brain ruling the mightiest nation in the world?
The further down we go, the further other countries like China laugh at us.
Be wise, Americans!!!

McCain discoveries:
Dinosaurs (rode one to school daily)
Fire (burned himself with cigarette lighter as child)
Gravity (fell off the dinosaur one day)
Electricity (I know, I was shocked as you)
Actually Invented the automobile, the internal combustion engine, first airplane.

But! He had nothing to do with the Blackberry®! He picked some blackberries for a pie as a child!

Geez, get the facts straight!

Lue Dobbs said that McCain cant type owing to his injuries during his time of being a POW. But he can write….!!!! Honestly this kind of journalists can learn a ton from Lohan and Pamela Andersaon. Seriously, read their comments and blogs to understand how dumb you are.

NOT!!!!!!!!!!! GIFTTY September 16th, 2008 11:23 am ET

Go Obama/BIden 08

HILLARY - 12

PALIN 025 by then our kids will know she is about war against Russia, they will see she still slacks EXP.

GIFTY - 025 Still crying and prejudice.

Guys come on……I almost had to clean my cubicle…….The remarks were even funnier than the article I'm just surprised that he even knows what a blackberry is……………………….

So the man can't use a computer or send an email but he invented the blackberry? Hilarious.

McCain invented the blackberry…great stuff.

Wait a second. Hold on, hold on:

"Did that guy really just say "He both regulated and de-regulated the industry.”

Ummmmmmm….that's a neat trick. So there's no magic solution to the economy, but McCain can simultaneously do two mutually exclusive things? He's hired. everyone else get out of the Government. McCain is going to just do it all. We don't need you. LOL

This self-admitted IT illiterate man who cannot even send or receive an email helped create the Blackberry? Please spare us the nonsense!

Wait, what? Really? As noted, remember the ridicule Al Gore faced? Except that he ACTUALLY did have a hand in working with the technology that fostered the Internet (not inventing the Internet, as he never said but was eviscerated for)? Will those same people come after McCain? I doubt McCain can use a push-button telephone, let alone email or a BlackBerry. When the HELL is someone besides Chris Matthews or Huffington Post going to rip these LIES apart piece by piece? Why isn't anyone paying attention?

Okay, a man who doesn't know how to email, helped to create the Blackberry? Is this April Fool's Day?

How silly is this silly season going to get?

I'm sticking with Barack, at least he's sane.

Obama/Biden 08

The abacus maybe

The Blackberry- I don't think so

and

Steve from Ithaca, NY September 16th, 2008 11:37 am ET
Show me how that's out of context.

Check out Snopes

Mon Dieu…

That is for to laugh…

Will someone take this idiotic old fool back to his room?

And lock the door next time….

We need to focus on ISSUES that will directly involve solving the problems with our economy and the security of our Nation, not which party is better or did worse. IT'S not the PARTY STUPID, IT'S THE LEADER. We are in a campaign to elect a NEW leader. What's past is past. Let's move on. Our Nation has a history of being able to turn adversity into CHANGE. We need to focus on the CHANGES we can LIVE with, not what the "talking heads" are pushing. They have their own agenda and that is to make MONEY. They are doing that by RATINGS. The more they push their candidate down your throats the more they will make. You will pay for this. We need a LEADER we can trust to have OUR interests at heart, and those of this country . We NEDD A PROUD AMERICAN WHO WILL STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS, VALUES, SECURITY, and WHAT'S BEST FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. We need someone who will "clean house" NOW.
John McCain '08

Yes, the Blackberry is a Canadian invention. As far I know, Senator McCain is not a Canadian citizen. Gramps had a brain cramp. Thank you

McCain's campaign is nearly as funny as the Colbert Report, sharing the same concept, self-parody.

Whoa! Hold on there! Is this for real? The McSame camp says:
"a president isn’t someone who needs to be heavily involved in policy specifics, which should be handled by “quality” advisers." This is one of the most scary things they've said in recent days…must be because McSame isn't capable of handing anything specific.

Blackberry is a Canadian Invention. As a Canadian I take offence to John McCain trying to take credit. Maybe he thinks so little of his fellow citizens that he thinks they would not know this.

The lies that comes out of that campaign has everyone in Canada and other countries over the world just laughing at them. What is really scary is that my Americian neighbours that I respect so much is actually falling for it. Please vote on the issues!!!

How is a product that is the result of the telecommunications technology that McCain helped fund from his time on the Senate Commerce Committee, deemed as such a laughable concept? Any educated individual is well aware of the point that the staffer was attempting to make here, albeit not very eloquently. The majority who have expressed disdain over this comment are reading it as a direct quote from McCain himself, which is not the case.

"McCain claimed he invented the Blackberry." I'd better hear that phrase exactly as much as I heard the phrase that Al gore claimed he invented the Internet. It's just as true.

I don't know what article everyone here has read, but the one I read didn't say that McCain claimed invention of the Blackberry. It said that as a member of the commerce committee he put in legslation that led to the network implementation that makes the Blackberry possible.

You guys are really being obtuse on this one!

How about this???

John Mccain invented Windows Operating System that is used by 75% of all Personal Computers around the Globe!!!!!!!!

It's probably just another "lie", mcsame is sooooooooo good at telling them along with his cheney clone v.p. nominee, the nasty, uninformed palin! What a (bad) joke these two are, don't let it be a joke on our country people! WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!!!

TESAP:SAVANNAH, GA your comment was just too funny! Completely true and very funny!

This is akin to me going to see a band at a small club and listening to their songs and really liking them. Then, a few years later, the same band is filling up stadiums and having hit after hit. Because I went to see them in the earlier days, I proclaim loudly, “I discovered the band!” In other words, this is just flimsy rationale from a flummoxed and clueless campaign.

Does John McCain say anything credible anymore?

Ugh, attack him on this.

The american people are so sound bite driven that that main part of this article is about the economy and all they write about is the blackberry. This shows how stupid the public really is.

When will Palin issue a statement claiming that she discovered electricity?

DESPERATE, DESPERATE PEOPLE!

hahahahahaha YEAH, OKAY, sit down old man.

Why not? After all, Al Gore claimed credit for inventing the Internet.

Obama's campaign intentionally twists everything McCain's campaign says. McCain's people didn't say he invented the blackberry, they said he helped create it. He did so by crafting the legislation that helps make telecommunications possible. Obama must be getting really desperate.

He would not claim to be the inventor of anything, much less the BlackBerry. This was obviously a boneheaded joke by a staffer," McDonald said.

he has so many other things to claim "credit" for the invention of the blackberry is nothing

fundamentals of the economy are strong
winning the war in Iraq
strong financial markets
oil independence thru drilling
affordabe heathcare for everyone with insurance
fix social security thru private accounts and market investments
balance the budget thru more tax cuts to the wealthy

Did he invent the internet too?

Vote smart this November. Vote good judgment. If you say that our economy is good now, you are an elitist and you do not know our struggle to put food on our bellies and gas in our cars. John McCain that elitist think the economy is good and has no plan to help us. He wants more wars, more tax cut for big corporate that ship our jobs oversees. Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania I know that your economies are hurting and you must vote smart and vote someone who understands your economics’ struggles. It is not time to support someone who does not understand the economy, it is time to take our country back and get our respect back around the world. Vote Democratic this November if you are a true American who put America first. We need change in Washington and the Democratic Party has that change for us this November.

BTW, McCain has trouble using a keyboard because of his war injuries.

But, you people already know that. You're just desperate. You should be.

Sean Whitworth dixy "I thought he created the wheel?"

Actually he discovered the fire and owns the patented for the "smoke signals" code. The fundations of modern telecomunications.

ha ha

And Al Gore invented the internet, so what?

McLobbyist should take his Blackberry, the jam, and go home!
His gimmick,Palin, should leave too!

…And I invented electricty!

This is too pathetic to be amusing.

John McCain has gone from an honroable, respected hero and role model to an angry, bitter, twisted old, man.

So America is suffering economic faliures and all the McCain camp can do is make jokes about it???

Do the republican think that the rest of the nation is as stupid as they are, and will believe everything they put out there? give me and my brain some credit, will they?

McCain meant the blackberry muffin.. oops.. blueberry muffin

No, John doesn't know very much about the economy.

But even more important than that–he cheated on his wife, and left his kids. I can't get over that. Why? Because he was in his 40's (not unlike Bill Clinton). He was in his 40's and Cindy Lou was 25. John was in his 40's and after coming home a "hero", he left his wife and kids. Yeah, tell the first 3 children he abandoned what a hero dad really was.

His daughter (by Cindy Lou) wrote a book about how wonderful her dad is. I said to my husband, I guess she would think he was wonderful; he didn't abandon her–and her mother's money.

John is a snake and all this talk about "blackberry" is just another shiny metal object to change the subject from the fact that he doesn't get the economy. He never did, and he never will.

It's your turn to speak up America, send him back to his many mansions.

You know these smear tactics are not going to work on either one supporter base. Democrats who want to vote for Obama, they will vote for him not matter what, even thought it gets proven that he tried to renegotiate troop withdrawal till after elections, on other side republicans who will vote for McCain will vote for him no matter what even he it gets disproven that he has invented BlackBerry and he has 5 houses.
Question is whos supporters are more motivated to wait in lines in cold mornings of November.
All these adds in both sides do is polarize the already polarized camps of supporters.
I think I will cut it here.

The only thing he helped in regards to the blackberry, is out sourcing it's production.

Flip it over and see where it's made, CHINA….

Thanks Johnny, your job security for americans is GREAT (NOT).

Next on his list of to do: Out source the government to Communist Rule.

McCAIN HAS FINALLY JUMPED THE SHARK.

Pretty good response by the McCain camp, but Holtz-Eakin is not a "staffer," he's the senior domestic policy advisor. Quite a difference.

McCain didn't have anything to do with the Blackberry. It was invented by Mike Lazaridis of Research in Motion in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Incidentally, Mike Lazaridis is the CEO of the company and the headquarters is still in Waterloo. McCain should try lying about something that is a little more believable, like he was influential in America's transition from the horse and buggy to the automobile in the early twentieth century.

WOW………..I guess his new name should be Bill McGates.
McCain gets more and more pathethic everyday.

…and why cant McOld ever be seen without Palin anymore? Because he can not get more than 500 people to come listen to his ramblings.

After all of Palins skeletons come out all those crowds will also evaporate.

Now… now — he probably just misspoke — he meant to say he invented blueberries

Does McCain even know where Canada is? Research In Motion is a CANADIAN FIRM…. AND HAS BEEN DEVELOPING IT'S PRODUCTS FOR OVER 20 YEARS….

Just goes to show the arrogance of some Americans…

Most Americans don't know what a BlackBerry is.

So, lots of luck trying to snowball this like the Gore-internet thing.

Considering how old McCain acts and talks at times,,,,,,,,,,perhaps he was also the inventor of the WHEEL,,,,,,,,,,Americans need to wake up before McCain has the power to invent the THIRD WORLD WAR,,,,,I HAVE NO DOUBTS THAT HE COULD TO THIS. Undoubtedly the Beauty queen from Alaska would help in this endeavour,,,,,,,Go Sarah

NO WAY, NO HOW , NO MCPITBULL!!!

It's quite obvious McCain is oblivious to how his campaign is being run and is giving carte blanche to what is communicated in between his naps. There must be some serious concern among the "managers".

The president of the USA had better be well versed in economics of he will be eaten alive by special interests. You can't tell me that special interests would not be on his trusted commission. As far as 911 all the commission has done is take away some freedoms as well as make it a nightmare to travel anywhere. Can you imagine if someone like that was in charge of the economy. Grab the women and children and hold on to your money. It is going to be a bumpy ride!!!!!!

Yeah right!

Yet another reason why the McCain campaign is a complete disaster. Ship of fools. And all the fools who follow will go down with the ship.

This is getting ridiculous. Everything someone says is REALLY being taken too literally. This should not even be reported.

I'm an Independant. I was concerned about both Obama's youth and McCain's age, but now I'm beginning to wonder if McCain is suffering the effects of post-traumatic stress. It's kinder than saying he's showing signs of senility.

John McCain has gone from an honorable, admired, respected hero and role model to a sad, bitter, lying, self-absorbed, dersperate old man.

How very, very sad!

what has gone to this campaign.

more LIES.
MORE SCANDALS AROUND MCBUSH.

I SAY, "BOYCOT CINDY'S BEER'.
MCBUSH WILL REALIZE THAT THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBALS AND THAT HE DIDN'T CREATE THE BLACKBERRY.

OBAMA 08

Maybe he and Gore can get together and invent some new technology device that will lift us all up from the economic disaster we're all feeling.

Come on. The Gore-said-he-invented-the-Internet thing was ridiculous and so is this.

Let's have a retirement party for John McCain, maybe then he will get the idea that it is time to go home. If he can figure out which one.

And John MCCain created the lie !!! Just pathetic

And the McCain said let there be Blackberry! and it happened I guess thats the only way he could have done it. lol I can't believe how his campaign is thinking. And yea if he had created Blackberry, then i created IPOD. This should be true, shouldn't it?

The guy does not know how many houses he owns, lives off his wifes money (gold digger) has done nothing for the State of Arizona.

Was a crook in the Keating 5 and got the Gov. to take the fall for the team.

America thses are the peole that gave you this economy. Congress voted to make your house an ATM machine. Free money just live in your house for 2 years take out up to 500,000 no taxes.

So Business turned it into a 1849 gold rush with no rules. Everyone that was a crook is blaming everyone else.

You gave crap loans and sold them as good loans and it was all a scam, now everyone is going how did this happen?

Give me a break this guy and Greenspan and Bush created it.

Wow! and his deputy can see Russia from her tanning bed, hence able to duel with the big bad boys out East.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 deregulated the financial system by opening up competition among banks, securities and insurance companies and allowed commercial and investment banks to merge.

John McCain voted for this bill along with the entire Republican Senate. Phil Gramm indroduced this bill was John McCain’s top economic advisor before he was forced to resign but still gives McCain economic advice to this day.

John McCain has a direct responsibility in the financial crisis we are in today. McCain has supported the very philosophy and mentality that has caused the economy we are facing today. Is that what you want? Another 4 years of this? If you do then vote for McCain.

Obama Action Wire Team:

At LEAST McCain blames BOTH Democrats and Republicans for the failure in Washington…Obama and Biden? Well they blame John McCain!

Let's see….

Chris Dodd-Dem…Chairman of Banking committee…think HE was asleep at the wheel? Yep…

Obama-Dem…Chairman of the SubCommittee that controls war in Afghanistan…think HE was asleep at the wheel? Yep.

Nancy Pelosi Dem–Speaker of the House…in line for President…10 bills were written in the past two years, and 190 fluff stuff…think she was asleept at the wheel? Yep.

Charlie Hagel–Dem–Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
He is writing tax laws for us while NOT paying his own…

As a Democrat, I am disgusted with the past two years of broken promises by Democratic Leaders. I agree that corruption has to be swept right out of the House and Senate.

Obama has "CHANGED" his position on just about everything to the point I no longer trust him. So much for fighting the Democratic leaders…he is in bed with them.

I find it odd that he fought Clinton so hard…tried so hard to smear her personally…could it be because she ACTUALLY has pissed off Democratic Leaders by bucking them on issues?

At least Palin DOES have a record of bucking her own party, as DOES John McCain. McCain has NEVER taken an earmark. NEVER.

I am not against earmarks, but am against earmarks that are unwise. I understand states need part of the money to run, and help with infastructure. BUT the truth is Democrats have gotten too Greedy right along with Republicans.

McCain/Palin 08 CLINTON 2012

As an employee of a telcom company that has lost billions over the last 8 years, I can say it was not done correctly. Even if we have the technology, the companies are not making any money at it.

Remember the internet and telcom bubble busrt of 2000???? A great accomplishment John.

BTW - the Blackberry was created by a company in Canada, Research In Motion (RIM), which is involved with a slew of copyright infringments.

I'll just say anyting or doing anything JUST to hold the hightest office in this land. This is straight UP a shame!

Obama/Biden 08

I hear nothing but mean spirited remarks from the Obama campaign and it is getting O-L-D! Obama is looking like more of the same old tired politics!

we don't need more jokes. America can not afford four more years.
vote Obama/Biden and lets get America working again. We are just seeing the beginning of the end. If banks are not sound then the fundamentals of the economy are not sound. The Fed's solution to the banking crisis brought on by a lack of over sight and too much deregulation is to loosen the restriction on lending. How can pouring gas on the fire make it better? Mcsame's policies are more Bush policies. Mcsame says he went against his party but he neglects to say hat Obama went against Mcsame's party too! They needed to be gone against even more.

Wow. I'm starting my timer to see how long it takes for Factcheck.org to completely and utterly obliterate this nonsense.

Best laugh I've had all day. The McCain campaign deserves a Hasty Pudding Award for this one.

This is right up there in the pantheon of stupid statements from McLame and his campaign. Others include Palin's military qualification from being CIC of the Alaska National Guard, her foreign policy qualification beause Alaska is near Russia, and Obama not going to town hall meetings with McSame being the cause of the downward spiral into sleaze by the McShame campaign, not to mention Failin saying, "Thanks but no thanks" to the bridge to nowhere. BTW, she never did explain what the "no thanks" part was, since she kept the money.

That can create very funny ads.
The creator of the blackbery that does not know how to email!

Sending Obama to Washington to be the doting foot soldier for the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Chris DOdd, Ted kennedy and others is a frightening prospect. That is why many Independents are going with experience and a provem record of reaching across the aisle to work on ALL important agendas. Now is not the time to send in a rookie with no record of achievement on the national scene and no national or international experience - that is just too dangerous. We need experience and A PROVEN TRACK RECORD of accomplishments to initiate change — not empty words written by unnamed strangers and read off a teleprompter eloquently by a junior Senator with 1 year in DC and 1 year campaigning WAKE UP AMERICA Obama, if elected, IS ZERO HEARBEATS AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENCY - THAT IS TOO CLOSE

Oh MY GOD! This is a guy still learning how to get on the web. Of course he did not. Next thing you know he will claim he helped discover the New World Of course he and Chris C. are probably pretty close to the same age. This guy needs a real lesson in TRUTH!

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 deregulated the financial system by opening up competition among banks, securities and insurance companies and allowed commercial and investment banks to merge. Look it up.

He Also Made The Hubble Telescope Out Of Old VCRs!

That old fool cannot use the internet but he invented the Blackberry ? Good, why doesn't he recycle himself in the private business selling them ?

In defense of typewriter : much too complex for John McCain!

He meant fruits people..fruits..

Wow.

Gore NEVER said the "I invented the internet" thing that people so widely believed.

Now a McCain guy actually says that he helped create the blackberry??

What does this guy need to do to lose his lead in the polls, start eating babies?

Thanks, but no thanks George McCain! I know the facts and it was actually created in Wasilla, Alaska (population 5)

this guy is a joke!

The only bonehead is McCain saying our economy is strong.

John McCain, "I've heard of the internets".
LOL!

And Obama-philes are still wondering what Obama has done for the past 20 years.

People please. McCain did in fact invent the Blackberry in 12,000 BC combining the raspberry and and the extinct petroleum berry.

Jesus! The way I understand it is that he helped make it possible for it to be created. And who cares. What does this have to do with anything? Lets report on real issues. What is he going to do about the economy and Wall Street? How will he reform politics and create transparency with a VP who is starting to look less like Tina Fey and more like Dick Cheney, everyday?

Swwet Jesus, another miracle by McCain. Is this one like when he said he helped create the laws on Wall Street, and now he can fix them, just like he knows where Bin laden is and how to get him, but won't unless he is elected. Dear God, America !! WAKE UP!!

oh yea.. his WIFE/IN-LAWS have a distributorship deal also !!!!

Once again, the McCain campaign conterdicts itself by saying

"…And I don’t think that it’s at this moment imperative to write down exactly what the plan has to be.” He also said a president isn’t someone who needs to be heavily involved in policy specifics"

Isn't this exactly what McCain and his advisors have been saying about Barack Obama…that's he is just an "empty suit", "all rhetoric", "no solutions"

Uh, so why have a president when we can just have a White House full of advisers and lobbyists?

With John McCain that is what we'll have–just advisers and lobbyists making decisions for the President. Face facts, I don't trust my grandfather to drive my car, why would I trust him with the future of me and my children?

This has to stop. Americans, you need to wake up! Obama is our only hope at this point…and no, he didn't invent blackberries!

Excuse me? I heard he has trouble with email!

I can't believe the way CNN is distorting the facts on this one, including the headline. Especially the headline, since that is what drew me and no doubt others into this silly, sensational nothing of a story. I'm a member of the media, and I write headlines every day. Obviously, I labor more over whether what I write is true and accurate and fair than CNN, the home to the No Bias, No Bull mantra that proves more comical every day. Good luck staying out of courts with careless work like that, fellas. (And I use the word fellas, b/c of all the Palin bashing out there; surely women who have had to claw and fight and scratch and hiss their way to any sort of higher ground in this business environment would not turn on one of their own, would they?) Oh, I forgot about Campbell Brown. There goes that.

…and Al Gore created the Internet, right?

Baldwin/Castle 08!

The thing is, Al Gore actually WAS involved with the internet while it was in it's infancy. But, this is really a non-story compared to Ms. Palin's dodging the truth about Troopergate. After eight years of this, we need more? The only explanation is, we must be a society of masochists.

like others have said, the blackberry was developed in Canada, and seriously didn't McCain say he didn't know how to send an email anyway? it was lame when gore said he invented the internet and for john mccain to claim something as ridiculous is just plain nuts.

McCain voted for the Blackberry…
The thing is, he thought he was ordering dessert.

Ahh…..no wonder users refer to the devices as "crack berries". You must be on "crack" to believe this statement from the campaign is true.
No way..no how….no Palin Administration.

Enough is enough!

Obama/Biden 08

liana….

McCain is responsible for his advisor's comments!

out of touch…. period.

Where are you, McCain supporters? The polls say you are there, but I haven't met any of you yet!

PEOPLE,

SAY NO TO FED commiting tax dollars (in they call "liquidity") to bailout the war-profiteering loan-sharks on wall street!!!

lehman is not the only or last pigs that tried to dump their 600 billion debt on taxpayers!

there's a long line of much worse and bigger thieves twisting washington's arm!

CALL AND WRITE TO YOUR REP IN WASHINGTON NOW

before they LIQUIFY YOU to secure their immoral financial and military empire!!!!

and take a look at your portfolio: you hard earn money invested in these crooks are already worth nothing!

DO NOT THROW GOOD TAX MONEY BEHIND THE BAD MONEY that has already evaporated!

well, the wealth you thought you had made by investing in this scam

NEVER EXISTED in the first place.

invest in substance, such as

land and building, and

pay off your mortgage asap!

and most of all, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM CORPORATES,

unless your life depends on it!

I cannot believe the level of ignorance in the comments posted here.
Nowhere did the article state that McCain "invented" the Blackberry.

It clearly states that legislation McCain worked on made it possible for devices like the Blackberry, become a reality.

Was it a bit exaggerated? Sure, but tell me something in politics that isn't.
Blame the writers of the article for the sensational headline.
Innuendo is a great tool when it comes to writing trash.

Man, you liberals need to learn to take a joke.

McCain laughed when he was told of the statement… i seriously doubt mccain has any fantasies about him "inventing" the blackberry.

get a sense of humor, you idiots.

More LIES. No more McCain.

McCain will be another of the worst economic disaster this country has ever seen if he becomes president. People need to take off the Republican or Democrat blinders and listen to the issues. McCain doesn't know anything about economics and is too old to play catchup now, he just wants to be president and that's it.

I wonder if Faux News will make as big a deal over this gaffe as their lie that Al Gore claimed he invented the internet? What am I saying… of course, they will NOT.

126 days till the end of the Bush administration.

OBAMA=MOSES—–MCCAIN=JOHN THE BAPTIST
AMERICA VOTES IN BLACK AND WHITE!

Mr MaGoo is clueless.
We need a technology driven Green revolution in this country to save it and the planet and this guy doesnt know squat about tech.
Drill baby drill is so appropriate for dinosaurs like the GOP.

Old or new. Status quo or change. Bridge to the future, or bridge to the 19thy century.
Cmon America, dont go for the security blanket of an easy soundbite and maverick-speak. Vote with your head and an eye to the future. Dont let Mr MaGoo and Palin take you back to a disaterous past.

Vote Obama/Biden

Oh yeah, let's not talk about what John said yesterday, or the fact that he was on all the nets trying to do damage control because of his stupid statement yesterday.

Let's CHANGE the subject and talk about "Blackberry". Yes, that will do the trick. We want to control the news cycle. Talking about John saying the "fundamentals are strong" is not good for our lying, low-life campaign.

So pay no attention to that economic crisis behind the curtains, Americans. Just keep talking about how John designed the blackberry.

Obama/Biden 08
Because we are smarter than 5th graders and John.

OK guys here is the news straight from the mouth of Steve JOBS, Steve says that McCain was the guy who came over to Cupertino and designed the iPod and the iPhone. Two thumbs up and well Blackberry he just mispoke about it. It is all about that golden years.

McCain created the Blackberry, just like Gore created the internet. These guys are just a bit too full of themselves!

Obama create the concept of community,,,so he could organize it to fill in his resume.

Unfortunately, this community and it's inhabitants have not been found.

This HAS to be a joke. McAlzheimer's can't even send an email or get on the internet by himself!!! Maybe Palin's buddy, Ted Steven's is right, "THE TUBES ARE ALL STUFFED UP!!!"
Give me a break!!!

do we need further proof that Sen. McCain has completely lost his bearings. It seems he out does himself every day.

How many of us realize that getting older will cause a loss of faculties? John McCain (I'm sure) is a nice guy but please…this is getting pathetic.

He also seems to suffer from some untreated PTSD. What is sad is it appears its catchy because his entire staff are showing symptoms.

America…..let's not send a very bad message to the world that we will elect someone who is not only divorced from lives of americans, but divorced from reality. But his back-up is a Beauty Queen / Hockey Mom??? Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Oh boy

So a guy who probably thinks phones still have rotary dials invented the Blackberry? What's next — He has beachfront property for sale in Arizona? Whatever McCain and his people are on, it's some good stuff.

McCain and Palin are desperately trying to stay away from the issues, because the issues will sink their little boat. It would be hilarious to see McCain try and use a Blackberry, I hope some interviewer like Gibson whips it out and lets him demonstrate his visionary technological genius.

The US housing market is plunging, it may take the world economy down with it…McCain has no idea what to do with this situation. So he's talking about Blackberries. It's so absurd and desperate, he just hopes that he can put the economic genie back in the bottle, but he doesn't stand much more of a chance of doing that than he does of figuring out what the heck all the buzz about the internet really is all about.

Wow, I thought he didn't know how to even send an email.

Republican voting for Obama/Biden 08

I can't believe this. This is the most hilarious thing I've heard in a long time. Thanks for replacing Comedy Central, McCain Campaign! I mean seriously, its just not feasible that a man who can barely work a computer would even have an inkling of how to expand a telecommunications market, much less that of the crackberry.

The only thing that Senator McCain has created is confusion.,,mostly in his own mind. Before he discovered Sarah,,,,it was Joe lieberman, the individual who on more than one occasion had to correct something McCain had said. McCain is truly the president i want answering the phone at three o'clock in the morning. If anyone believes the afore mentioned statement,,,,,,,i myself will build you a bridge in Alaska,,,,,,straight to Sarah's home.

Seriously???? bwahahaha… I cant even believe that people still vote republican… I can understand if your old, selfish and white and like the tax benefits… or have an abundant affection for unwanted fetuses…. But what other reason is there? They are horrible with the economy, war, domestic issues…..etc…

If you make under $500,000 a year and vote republican, you are an idiot.

McCain: 'Today, we are all Georgians..err Canadians!!'

RIM (Blackberry company) is Canadian. McCain spokemen can't even get their country right when trying to defend McCain. Just the sort of people we need running our country (into the ground).

If you know he is lying, why do you intend to vote for this incompetent liar? Go and vote for the right guy who cares and cant improve the economy. Vote Obama. Dont bother about these lies anymore.

LOL!!!!!LMAO!!!!!
It's not important to have sense to run a nation…. so vote McCain (the man who created the Blackberry)

Addressing the nation’s economic crisis, Holtz-Eakin told reporters traveling with the campaign “there’s no magic solution. And I don’t think that it’s at this moment imperative to write down exactly what the plan has to be.” He also said a president isn’t someone who needs to be heavily involved in policy specifics, which should be handled by “quality” advisers,
——————————————

By far, the most important and frightening statement made this political season.

The president is not heavily involved in policy specifics… Sound like anyone we know?

I'm pretty sure that RIM (actual inventor of the Blackberry) is a Canadian company and that Blackberries are manufactured in Canada, Mexico, and Hungary. What happened to "Country First"?

BLACKBERRY OR McSAME-CLUELESS-BERRY?

WHICH ONE DID HE CREATE?

Maybe McCain can use his computer skills to retrieve some of the millions of missing White House emails from around '03 and '04.

While he's at it, he might be able to restore some of Palin's missing email… But that might require McCain to login to yahoo mail.

Wake up, folks, the only way the GOP will ever reform is if we vote them out of office in November.

he probably invented post-its, too

Maybe Gore and McCain can open up an internet store and put AT&T out of business

LOL this is amusing…

The Maverick Inventor strikes again.

Blackberry is invented by Research in Motion (RIM) which is a Canadian company. Give me a break.

Research in Motion is a Canadian company. John McCain must be a good legislator if his policies are so good they inspire innovation globally.
