REALLY ........NO LIES???? SADLY ALL THE GOP & MCCAIN KNOW HOW TO DO IS LIE, DESTROY, MISLEAD AND ATTACK.

MCCAIN ATTACKS SEN. OBAMA.........BUT WHO WAS AT THE HELM THE LAST 26 YEARS??????????? MCCAIN & HIS REGULATION-BANISHING CRONIES!

WAKE UP AMERICA WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE TO PRINT MONEY, OWING $10 TRILLION TO THE CHINESE, SAUDIS AND DUBAI............IS..............ENOUGH!

Marie in California,

Why don't you become more educated in civics before spewing ignorance. Go look up what voting "present" actually means. Read a book for a change.

And, Obama has come up with a plan. Go read it. It is available. But, I appreciate a person who takes their time on an issue about spending $700 billion of our tax dollars. This is not the time to be a maverick and off the cuff.

Go get a little smarter, please.

McCain

EMPTY SUIT
EMPTY SHIRTS
EMPTY BASEBALL CAP

Obama/Biden 08

LIES- AGAIN! Obama has been talking plenty-and I just talked o Rick Larson's office in WA state and asked him to back Obama on his Main St beforer Wall St stance. Obama has been talking about this deregulatory rip off for a very long time-while McSame and the GOP continued their agenda to rape the American taxpayer! This is worse than the Keating 5 scandle-McMillionaire and freinds scandle and bailout!

There are some issues that take carefull consideration not
just going in and fireing people..
Obama met with his economic advisors, some of whom
were under Clinton in a much better situation after they
fixed the mess another republican president got us into.
We don't need another Laurel and Hardy in the White House.

For Sarah and you other ignorant repubs: Do you EVEN go to fact check before spewing??? It's totally mindboggling!!! Obama came out with a plan. He's repeated it several times but you only hear and believe what you want to. I'd rather have a president take a moment and think about consequences or cause and effect than the knee-jerk (and I use that term loosely) decision that McSane was mumbling. "Fire this person, fire that person". "We need to act NOW", "Oh wait, we need to think about trusting one person with all this power". "Let's bailout, let's not bailout". What the ****!! I don't think he remembers from day to day what he's saying. Sorry, but I've done ignorance for the past 8 years, I'm not playing that game anymore.

MUM?!!? You see Obama on television every night explaining his stance on this whole economy mess on the nightly news? Where has McCain/Palin been?...hiding from reporters no doubt.

Not rushing to make soundbytes in the face of a serious crisis is a sign of good judgment. Rushing to make soundbytes which turned out to be inadequate is a proof of poor judgment. Once more, McCain has demonstrated that he has neither the judgment nor the self-control nor the intellectual discipline needed for the top office. Obama may not be perfect, but I trust him as the future leader of our country (as, most likely, the majority of this country!)

We've had enough "shoot from the hip" Conservatism. Conservative leaders don't have to think about anything. The solution to every problem from Global Warming to Pancreatic Cancer is:
1. Cut taxes on the rich
2. Deregulate corporations (how's that working out anyway?)
3. End the death tax
4. Propose but never vote on a gay marriage amendment.

Liberals, on the other hand, have to think of a way to solve a complex problem and persuade the voters to support it.

Let's sloooooooooooow down. The administration and Wall Street are both saying: "Don't think, don't read, don't debate, just VOTE YES NOW!!!!!!!!!!"

Something is afoot. We need to carefully read the fine print. We did this with Iraq, with the Patriot Act, and we have lived to regret making hasty decisions and taking hasty action.

They are up to something.

wait again, mcshameless should lock himself and his wifypooh up!

wait... the clintons, all three of them also...

wait, barney the not-so-honorable-now frank lectured the homeowners that they shouldn't have bought their house that they couldn't afford...

well, SWEEP THEM ALL OUT OF WASHINGTON IN NOVEMBER!

CNN you would leave all these attacks on Obama on here, just like the one from...........J UAN CARLOS September 23rd, 2008 1:07 pm ET, but delete Obama supporters.......SAD ONE SIDED NEWS!!!

THE QUESTION IS DO YOU REMEMBER:
G.W. Bush worst President in HISTORY (cake and ice cream buddies)
-Lobbyist who run his campaign...Rove, Liberman, ect..........
-Daughter baby suppose to be DADDY runs a RACIST ad on MY SPACE, SURE she brought him home to meet mommy & daddy.
-THE KEATING FIVE (ated out to save his butt)
-Palin talking about and belittling any people that are NOT 100% White during a lunch with her good old buddies of Alaska. Quoted by a waitress who over heard her talking about people if they were not 100% WHITE, she said Palin was loud and disgusting while her lunch buddies sit there and laughed out LOUD!

really good company to keep, eh?

The McShamers are getting desperate now. First Palin proves she is not a Saint or Alaskan Princess. Then McCain fumbles on teh Fed bailout.

They (McPalin) are both out of touch and not fit to lead. Say no to pitbull moms!!

OBAMA-BIDEN-2008!!!!!!!

Another day, Another lie. John McCain has nothing left. This Republican ticket is done. What a mess they have become.

More L-I-E-S...it's all we've come to expect from McCain & his Good Ole Boy Party....they're desperate and have nothing else.....so they repeatedy LIE and hope that American voters won't check the facts for themselves....shameful as usual, guys!!!

Sounds to me like the McCain camp doesn't want the press catching wind of any shady proposals and promises that the pitt bull may be proposing to these leaders. She is obviously Cheney re-incarnated but worse. Atleast he pretended that he wasn't lying until he was elected, this moose woman seems to think that she can play the "make deals with shady characters behind America's back right under America's nose game" and no one will notice. I don't know about the rest of you, but it seems McCain's pondering of Palin as his VP resembles a senile old man trying to remember what side of the street his bus comes down so he doesn't end up in the wrong part of town. Looks like with this pick, the old man chose the wrong side of the street that leads directly to the wrong side of the tracks. Can America truly trust a someone senile enough to pick a moose as his running mate? Oh who am I kidding, alteast moose have morals and don't believe in mythological creatures.

Another lying McCrypt ad, how shocking!

Just another example where fact checking shows that McCrypt has dropped his integrity as baggaged on the way to the WH

Ditto heads do you really want a Keating 5 mafia member in the WH?

Please, the rest of America, stay away from McCrypt while he peddles his prune juice!

It's called placing some thought into your position before flying off the handle to "fire" people before you access the entire situation. This is the difference between true leadership (displayed by Senator Obama) and "shooting first and asking questions later" (who else..McClueless)!

WAIT... most of mcshameless's campaign staff will have to be locked up, then...

Why is Palin being led like a child every where she goes? Let me tell you why, she doesn't now crap. Is this the person who we reallly want as a vice president or maybe president of the greatest nation on earth? I hope not, its about time we the independents put a stop to this and support OBAMA

Leadership doesnot mean coming out FIRST with an answer. It means coming out with the smartest one after sufficient discussion research and understanding of the problem in hand. Otherwise we will have another Iraq War.
Went to Iraq based on flimsy evidence of WMD. Now look at what happened. Only Fools rush in !
Obama has got a plan. Despite the fact that this(economy) is his strength he does not want to gain political mileage on it by rushing in with a plan. If he did, it would create a split and put the DEMS and GOPs locking horns instead of coming out with a Bilateral solution.
Think America ! Everything is not Black and White !

Obama won't give you change. He's going to take that too. Every nickle, dime, and quarter.

Spare some change?

No lies here – Obama and the other dems really did stay mum on the subject.

Yesterday McBush screamed that the Bail Out plan cannot wait for Obama to move. And today it is in fact McBush who is delaying the program. Flipity Flop.

IWASP- how can you vote Obama-Biden with a clear conscience? neither ticket is going to change anything. they're both bought and paid for. can't see how anyone can vote for the two-party sham with a clear conscience.

Three possibilities why Obama has stayed mum on the economic crisis.

(1) He's still trying to figure out what to say, maybe even waiting for someone to feed the answers into his teleprompter.

(2) He doesn't have a clue what he should say.

(3) He's still trying to figure out how he can vote "present" on this one and not have to make a decision or take a stand on the issue.

McCain-Palin – 2008! At least they'll get stuff done!

Obama, not ready to lead.

Obama – Biden … Osama Bin Laden … too scary!!!

Hey I left a comment. Where did it go. Cnn why don't you want voters to read about the Community reinvestment act........or that McCain tried to introduce a bill written in 2005 and presented to Congress in 2006 that was shot down. How about acorn?

Or is it because of who I choose to vote for?

McCain/Palin 08

Whether Democrat or Republican, Congress needs to watch out for Henry Paulson. He is trying to ram through this deal on the bail outs. He reminds me of a timeshare salesman trying to close the deal before you change your mind.

We cannot forget what caused this problem in the first place. Reaganonmics is a failure. And for the last eight years under a Republican president–six of those also under a Republican congress–there has been no oversight where business is concerned. Lack of oversight and laissez-faire policies caused the first Great Depression. Don't let them do it us to again. Call your congresspersons.

CNN, you must print this.

A 74 year old man playing 7 year old games. Fantastic. "I know you are but what am I?" Grow up you old fart!!

"Why is CNN doing fact checks for the Obama campaign, can't they do their own? "

Are you an idiot? CNN is also doing fact checks for the McCain campaign. CNN is doing fact checks for you and me because they aren't the McCain campaign or the Obama campaign.

Obama and his campaign were waiting for direction from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid as to what their opinion should be. Even though "Change" is their rallying cry, business as usual according to the left wing of the party is the reality of the platform

McCain is a dangerous pick for POTUS

"Obama have voted present (meaning chickened out) on numerous tough issues in the Senate."

110th congress
John McCain: 407 votes missed (63.8%), 231 votes cast
Barack Obama: 290 votes missed (45.5%), 348 votes cast
Hillary Clinton: 206 votes missed (32.3%), 432 votes cast
J. Biden: 193 votes missed (30.3%), 445 votes cast

McCain is more chicken.

wow, people need to educate themselves a bit better. sure there was some blame for the GOP but there were also some of these shady financial products that were key contributors that are ten years old. so that was the Cinton administration.

"Obama stayed mum"

Except that he didn't.

"Obama is going to vote 'present' once again. "

McCain voted "present" 117 more times then Obama did.

110th congress
John McCain: 407 votes missed (63.8%), 231 votes cast
Barack Obama: 290 votes missed (45.5%), 348 votes cast
Hillary Clinton: 206 votes missed (32.3%), 432 votes cast
J. Biden: 193 votes missed (30.3%), 445 votes cast

This economic crisis requires a careful and well thought-out solution. It does not require shoot from the hip maverickitude. That's the kind of idiocy that got us into Iraq without adequate planning and without an exit strategy.

Obama economic advisors Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson caused this. They ran Fannie Mae people, thats not a lie thats a fact. Look it up.

Obama is a hypocrite.

Obama did give a plan you idiots and it was much better than McCain's one liners plan. McCain has changed positions and waffled on this economic crisis for the last week and all he can do is try to attack so the focus is off of him.

Obama's economic advisors ran Fannie Mae. Of course Obama wants to stay mum.

Doesn't matter! The real issues don't matter to small town Americans. They can hold on to the small town values as they are escorted off their property. The same people who re-elected Bush will put McCain in office. People are not smart enough to vote for what's best for the country.

Please. It was McCain and a Republican majority's lack of oversight and deregulation that caused so many problems. The polls reflect it.

Obama/Biden '08

Hmm scott from Tuscon,Mccain reads his speech from a piece of paper because he is too old too read a teleprompter,and caribou barbie reads from cue cards.Every president that has been in office reads off of a teleprompter,bush does it everytime.
I dont understand your reason its pointless,your just a disgruntled ignorant racist.At least Obama is reading a speech off of a teleprompter that he wrote himself,instead of some crap that is written for him.Hec barbie and Grampa cant even get their facts straight even reading from a speech written for them.Get your facts straight before you open your mouth.

This is to the ignorant people who are currently running my party (Republicans) into the ground. You don't see Obama crying about how your ad is obviously a lie. Obama can take a lickin' and keep tickin. I feel safe just knowing he'll win. Don't release your plan Obama, just like he stole your idea for change, he'll steal your economic plan. What is McCain's plan again? I guess he'll wait until Obama answers the question.

Republicans for Obama

LB @ 1:00pm: Do you engage your brian when you blog.

Obama is not back pedaling it called being fiscally responsible! He understands that the programs( healthcare, education, economic reforms) he wants to better dunces like you will cost real money not monopoly dollars.

Better to keep your thoughts to yourself and let people think you're a fool, than share and erase all doubt!

However, a recent fact check shows Obama has outlined his plans several times since the meltdown on Wall Street.

And who was saying the the Dems are liars...... come on people wake up.......smell the bs thats being handed to you................

What exactly is McCain's great plan again? I honestly didn't hear specifics from any of them. Both gave outlines of what they want to do. Neither gave a plan to fix this problem for the short term.

McLIE.....McLIE......McLIE on the rampage again...this guy has no shame...lol..if i m president i will fire the FEC guy...ooopss..i meant to say SEC guy...he is such a big loser...n like every loser will lose the '08 election...

mccain has:
1,no respect for americans
2. no plan except for his pockets
3. no concience,, can sleep wehn he lies to americans
4. bad health
5. voted with bush 90% of the time
6. lost respect from many when he appointed palin as a runnin mate
7. done nuthun for americans as far as vetoing
8. a fake smile,,,,,,
9. lost his mind???

It's like Harry Reid said on the Senate floor. "We don't know what to do"(add stupid look on face here). The left is full of economic morons! God help us if Obama is elected!!

Now Obama and the dems are waiting to see how McCain will vote on this relief package. So who has real leadership now? It's certainly not coming from your Southside Chicago Messiah. Maybe Obama should consult his mentors William Ayers or Rev. Wright for advice?

Dumb and dumber will not allow reporters for Palin's meeting with leaders. they said only pictures were allowed.

The news people are protesting and said they will not cover the event.

John mccain deserves no respect.

Yeah, just like you stayed Mum on the Keating 5 scandal?

What a load of crap. Tell me what your plan is. So far I have only heard from my new Leader, Barack Obama!

I'm John McCain...when my opponent gets the better of me again, I lie. My campaign lies, my running mate lies, my spokespeople lie, my surrogate thugs lie. Why? Hey, I'm only 3 pts behind....I'm John McCain and I approve this.

Sarah and Juan Carlos....what does your guy have???
Nothing! He reacts and it is usually wrong.

Obama has a plan. It's out there for all to see. He's just not trying to get in front of the camera so that Paulson and his commission can come up with something. But, he can make his plans known to the Democrats there. Wow, someone who sits back and thinks through a solution. Isn't that an amazing idea??

Stop drinking the McCain Kool-Aid. It's as bitter as he has become.

It looks like Ohio, Florida, Virginia and possibly Missouri will be deciding this election. It will be interesting to see if the people suffering in those states stick with what got them there or will they step in a new direction.

OBAMA.BIDEN

America,

Can you sense the desperation of the McCain camp? God is exposing all their lies. If the current crisis isn't enough for people to see McCain and the GOP for who they really are, we are in for a world of hurt. McCain cannot run away from his record for less regulation on the banking industry. The chickens are home now McCain!

Ok for your ignorant repubs.
Heres what Voting "present" means.
Let's just take a moment to learn what voting present really means. The "present" vote is in effect a "no" vote, but it is a "no" vote that sends a message. The "present" vote is used by lawmakers in situations where they agree with a bill in
spirit, however the current version of the bill is not good enough to vote "yes;" either it is too expensive, it is inadequately planned or funded, or it has riders or earmarks attached that are entirely inappropriate.

However........... Another McCain LIE!!!!

-V

It's truly ironic that people are so infatuated with Obama that they will vote for him. Talk about a leap of faith for someone who has no experience, has a former terrorist for a mentor and friend, an hate filled preacher has his spirtual advisor. Obama have voted present (meaning chickened out) on numerous tough issues in the Senate. He has no leadership skills, his communication skills comes from a speech writer and a telepronter. So vote for Obama, but do a little research into the man first and you may CHANGE your mind about the Messiah from South Chicago.

When you loose your home, think of John McCain and his 7.
When you can't afford gas in your tank, think of John McCain's 13 cars.
When you loose your job, think of McCain supporting off-shore jobs.
John McCain is truly out-of-touch!

OBAMA/BIDEN

McPhony you've been mum for the last 26 years get a life!

This is not the time for political games, this is a serious dilemna this country is facing.

mccain is a fool and a con-man. he wants the whitehouse so bad just for the sake of another war story that he is willing to lie and cheat and say sickening things just to get there. he has had 26 years to study the economy and yet he knows nothing but war. he is a disgrace and should not be believed on anything he says.

McLIE.....McLIE......McLIE on the rampage again...this guy has no shame...lol..if i m president i will fire the FEC

Fortunately, Obama has Penny "Predatory Lending" Pritzker by his side to advise him on this. Frankly, this makes him look no better than McCain and his Keating 5.

McCain is looking more and more confused. He really has no clue.

What a blatant lie. Obama gave his six point comprehensive plan two days before McCain came up with a short paragraph in the name of a plan.

Even George Will, the conservative called McCain's behavior last week "unpresidential" and his demeanor disturbing. I want a president who consults experts and thinks before shooting off his mouth or pressing the nuclear button!

What is the difference between being POPULAR AND NOTORIOUS?
What is the difference between a Maverick and a GAMBLER?
John Mcain claims to be a maverick, but infact, he's a GAMBLER
and very impulsive.
He's gambled with his VP choice. He's gambled with his economic policy, and
continues to cheerlead for the Bush doctrine.
He's gambled with our jobs by shipping our jobs over seas.

Obama: One house, one wife, one car...
Mcain: houses???, wives???, 13 cars..Out of touch...
Mcain...Is he ready to lead, or ready to gamble away our future.

Obama came out with a 6-point plan......while McCain was running around trying to rewrite the Webster's dictionary trying to find a definition for the word "fundamentally"......that's the reason the polls moved in Obama's favor, because people saw him as a better leader, more knowledgeable and more intelligent to handle the economic crisis. McCain was out there offering a plan alright......a dumb, ignorant plan. He should learn from Obama and shut up, analyse, ask the right questions, come to a conclusion before jumping to some hasty ill-conceived ideas. Thats the kind of leader this country finally deserves!

Okay, McCain what more could Obama add to the crippling, pathetic situation our finanical marketing system is in. McCain I guess you do feel obligated to throw a wrench out there since you and your economic advisor Gramm through the Gramm act created this ricochet affect that was bound to happen. What Obama laid out was a set of principles, for the Bush administration to consider why packaging this billion dollar mess, something I see the McCain camp obviously don't comprehend. McCain this is not a political game toy for you to play with. Folks remember Keating 5, if you don't know go research.

WE hired 2 oil-based politicians. When they leave office, we are stuck with 2 WARS and a failed economy, greased in oil-pits.

Please dont make the same mistake and hire 2 oil-based politicians called McBushain and PalChINey. These two warlords will get us into more wars with no end in sight for a good economy...

Republicans have exploited every major and minor happening in our Country since Bush took office.

How dare they use the 9/11 footage at their convention – and they called is a "tribute". It was more like a tribute to scare tactics.

Now, Democrats are rightly pointing out how deregulation led to the shady practices, the temptation and opportunity for greed, and subsequently this meltdown.

The 24% who want to blame Democrats are the same 24% who think Bush is a good President.

Here we go again: Another National Crisis and Republicans take no responsibility for their lame duck policies.

Obama came out with a 6-point plan......while McCain was running around trying to rewrite the Webster's dictionary trying to find a definition for the word "fundamentally"......that's the reason the polls moved in Obama's favor, because people saw him as a better leader, more knowledgeable and more intelligent to handle the economic crisis. McCain was out there offering a plan alright......a stupid, ignorant plan. He should learn from Obama and shut up, analyse, ask the right questions, come to a conclusion before jumping to some hasty ill-conceived ideas. Thats the kind of leader this country finally deserves!

Yeah, can somebody, anybody give me a synopsis of the McCain economic plan? Has he been giving this plan during his speeches?

IT'S OKAY, I'LL WAIT!!!

Mavericks only make for good TV, not presidents.

Obama will tell you; Everything should be equal for everybody.
We need a planned economy with a centralized government. We want our jobs guaranteed, and our health care managed by the government. we want wage and price controls! Vote OBAMA !!!
We want Communism now!

I'm sorry, but the Republicans got us into this mess?? I guess it's true then, that in their 2 years IN CHARGE of the House and Senate, the Democrats have gotten NOTHING DONE!!!!

Good to know that you all want them in charge of everything!!

Wait someone better do a factcheck on factcheck. According to them Obama had a plan before this crisis hit so are they saying Obama had some insight to these disasters since he and Dodd were big reciepients from Fanny by private donors.

If the McCain is happy with the Three Trillion Dollar War in Iraq and the 4200 young Americans Killed, the Seven Hundred Million Dollar handout is no big deal!

Besides you're taling American Dollars – not like its real money! And if the US goes bankrupt, that'll teach your overseas creditors!

And how about that $90 BILLION SURPLUS in IRAQ!

Quick Draw McCain strikes again.

I am an Obama supportor and I don't think we need to be spending my money bailing out companies who make horrible decisions, period. And for the record to all my fellow DEMS and REPUBS, this downward spiral did not start in 2000, it started in 1996. Clinton could had stopped this but remember, the bad word at the time was MONOPOLY! Clinton was to worried preserving his legacy due to "blue dresses" and 'cigars" and less worried about preserving our future. So instead of vetoing those bills regarding deregualtion, he dropped the ball. So in all, the Repubs started it, the Dem did nothing to stop it. So all of them are at blame. I say screw 'em, let the economy crash, maybe it will teach America a lesson that America should have learned after the FIRST GREAT DEPRESSION. And yes I am born and raised in American with American parents, grandparenets great grandparents and great great grandparents, so this is not anti American rhetoric, this real talk.

Obama is staying 'MUM'..... heck I would too...... YOU BREAK IT... YOU FIX IT.. until I get elected...

Obama spoke to the subject and the only reason McCain wants to hear Obama's ideas is so he can copy them and use them–all his ideas are plagiarisms – McCain's foreign policy experience is a joke!!

this is purely and simply a FAT LIE.

Barack Obama began asking question over a year ago. John McCain has just been nodding his head at the President

Again, a nice candidate if giving speeches about nothing is what you want. But, Obama, you haven't provided us with anything. I guess you'll just wait to see how things go before taking a position or doing anything.

Oh yeah, you Liberals loved that when it came to Katrina, huh??

Sound like McCain had plans to steal more of Barack's ideas as his own and it's galling him that he can't bully Obama into revealing what they are. John, green does not look good on you my friend. Get an original idea of your own. You know full well you can't do anything but vote for the bill which your twin Bush will have to sign. Keep thinking your are out in front on this issue if it makes you feel better.

Funniest line: “McCain and his Congressional allies led.”
You forgot to add that you lead in deregulation of these companies.
Thanks, but no thanks to Mccain/Palin.

So McCain can just make stuff up now and get away with it? Maybe McCain is saying that Obama only came out with one message and as McCain himself has changed position three times on this issue he's attacking Obama for only coming out with one?

So where does McCain stand on this issue now? Is he for it or against it? Seriously, I'm totally lost on what McCain's plan is? Or is his plan to lie and blame Obama?

McCain is a joke. Let's just hope the joke isn't on us. It wasn't funny the first two times.

What a shocker.......another dishonest ad from the McCain campaign. Is anyone really believing this crap?

Senator Barak Obama should not give Senator McCain any more specifics on the economy (and anything else) to steal and use as a Republican innovation. Look, that's what history shows happened to African American slaves. Their ideas/inventions were stolen and patents were acquired by the theives, and prosperity realized.

It's all working out now though. We can all file lawsuits like the Alaska filings over the land disputes. Or, we can be open and honest and love our neighbor as ourself (rhetorical).

It's time for America to stand up for what is right and stop falling for what is wrong. Signed: Concerned Citizen "Obama-Biden 2008"

Just more John McBS spin, distortion and lies. These ads are fast becoming trees falling in a wilderness where no one is listening.

MCCAIN IS CRAZY AS A BEDBUG. WHAT ELSE IS NEW HE IS PITIFUL AND PEOPLE CONTINUE TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR HIM ESPECIALLY ELDERS BECAUSE HE WAS POW. SO THAT'S A REASON TO ELECT HIM WHAT ABOUT QUALIFICATIONS. HE MAY HAVE HAD THAT BACK IN THE DAY BUT NOW HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF IT. HE RELYS ON EVERYONETHAT IS THE (REPUBLICANS) TO MAKE DECISIONS AND SPEAK FOR HIM. HOW CAN HE BE A COMMANDER IN CHIEF WHEN HE DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN ABOUT THE ECONOMY, FORCLOSURES, HEALTHCARE, WAR IN IRAQ, EDUCATION, JOBS, VETERANS BENEFITS, HE CAN'T GIVE US AN JSUTIFICATION BUT HE CAN SAY I'M EXPERIENCE. YES HE IS EXPERIENCE IN LYING HIS WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!

TO RANDY:

McCain hasn't taken a position on the bailout plan either.

I would rather have Obama's approach which is measured and he refused to use his position as a political tool.

Geezer, on the other, is a hot head that spits out the first thing that occurs to his single functioning brain cell, just for poliitcal pandering.

Hey Obama fanatics McCAin isn't a lier. I just watched the video of Morning Joe and Hillary didn't place blame on either Dems. or Republicans. She said whomever becomes Pres. is going to have a big weight on their shoulders.

Is this another SNL skit or did mcCain actually do that?

How many lies can McCain camp come out with?

FACT CHECK get ready to add another McCain distortion!!!

McCain's a fool. What, a suggestion that Christopher Cox should be fired was leadership? Even though a bunch of people jumped down his throat for being so rash? That's the kind of President John McCain would be, rash, insensible, and a wielder of absolute power. This man is a sabre rattling tyrant, and Palin is his witch that will curse those that try to oppose her master.

ONE NATION

> McCain went on the Today Show and took a stance on the issue.

Which stance was it? The one he picked on Monday or the one he changed the VERY NEXT DAY??

Folks, Republicans have always been for less regulation laissez-faire economics. Don’t forget your history lessons as Herbert Hoover preached the same economic principles only to lead the country into the Great Depression. McCain is a Republican folks; don’t let his campaign tell you otherwise. An elephant does not change his colors overnight.

"Mum"- (adj). 1.A word used to describe a political candidate with the intelligence and common sense not to jump to conclusions or feel forced to speak on an issue without carefully weighing the facts. 2. The unwillingness to prematurely offer words based on political gain rather than with an adequate knowledge base.

and by the way , once again Mcain jump the gone by not thinking at all , Obama waits , to see how this bailout would effect everyone and not giving a rush toa decision that may or maynot turn out to be wrong , the worst thing to do is offer up a proposal right aways without knowing how this is gonna affect rest of us in America, once again Mcain reacts without thinking ,..............do you raelly want someone who's all ways has a rush to judgement , without even thinking about consulting the other parties involved .

No way, No how, No McCain / Palin

What an absolute slimeball. He picked on stance on Monday (no Federal bailout) and changed it again on Tuesday (I guess we need a bailout). What kind of fool who elect someone who shoots from the hip like this?

LB-
I guess you think that McCain is going to be able to still push through his corporate tax cuts in light of the bailout....

Obama is not back-peddling. .. he is being realistic and honest with the American people. . . McCain definitely could learn from that. When situations change and new information is presented, we need a leader who will listen to that information and adjust accordingly. Not stay the course. . .did not work for Bush and will not work for McCain.

Wow this is unbelievable. Not only did Obama have a plan McCain basically stole it.

Pleae senator,please

Buy another house in Alaska.

Take your wife and your pit bull with you and go live there.

And of course Obama can’t release his plan anything he says you’ll repeat on the very next day.
Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama-Biden

More lies from these people...

McCain / Palin is going down. Just got over 100 people signed up to vote for Obama in Penn. We can do this people. Don't give up...

Obama / Biden '08....

CNN – why is it that you fact check every McCain statement but you don't do the same for every negative remark Obama has to make about McCain. I am getting so sick of your bias. If you feel you can't withhold your exuberance for Obama then at least don't try to portray yourself as an independent news source. ENOUGH!

WHO IS VOTING FOR MCCAIN AND WHY?

INDEED, WHY ARE PEOPLE GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM?

HE'S GOT NO INTEGRITY LEFT IN HIS 72 YEAR OLD BODY.

Well being mum about an ongoing crisis is smart from the old
McDemetia who called wall street today *main street*
And just a few days ago called the economy strong!!!!
Lieberman should be kicked across the aisle to the dog food republicans where he belongs!!!!
Whose the more reliable candidate
Certainly NOT McLiar or Palin

Wow! How could any voter with the IQ of a house plant consider voting for McCainPalin? After looking at the polls and Obama not being ahead by atleast 50 points makes me think America has no chance of recovery.

The best way to sum it up is people deserve to get what they ask for and for the more caring intelligent people you might want to consider imigrating. There are at least 28 other modern nations ranked above or ahead of the U.S. on all fronts.

Hey, Grampy, your party is already perceived by the public as responsible for this mess by a two to one margin. Nice try though, and thanks for playing "Lie as You Breathe".

And how this ad will resolve the problems in our economy?
I believe that is our taxpayers money financing part of that, why McCain/Palin stop using that money in stupid ads, too much for a honest and decent campaign Mr. McCain looks to me same old same old.

God, I'm tired of McShame!!!

Can't wait for November!

obama lacks leadership, his inexperience is showing. it took him 3 times to get the response right in the russia/georgia crisis, and then he said the same thing mccain said. he used to parrot hillary during the primaries, now that she's out of the picture he is looking very stupid!

Iraqi PM Maliki says Bush pushed back the timetable for withdrawel of US troops b/c of "political circumstances." In other words to help McCain! How would you feel if your son or daugher was killed during this delay? Check out the story on HufPo.

After the solution is settled, Obama will give his standard reply "I was for that" but he never said so at the time of the decision-making. Obama is worthless. He cannot lead. He is an empty talking suit.

The Wall Street Crisis leaves the experts not knowing what to do. The lessons of the Great Depression cannot even work in solving this crisis. So why should Obama be the one to quickly come up with a solution. By Obama waiting to speak on a plan shows intelligence. McCain is the one who looks unwise by accusing an immediate response from Obama.

This is proof that McCain makes decisions without much regard. He did not use sound judgement on picking Palin. It was quick and now it is obvious she knows little of foreign policy and he has to limit her interviews. McCain has poor judgement.

"According the the McCain campaign the ad will air nationally."

So by the time it actually airs it will be even more uninformed and out of date than it is now? Sounds like the perfect metaphor for the McCain-Palin ticket to me!

Another distraction. Another LIE from the McCain-Palin camp. I am sick-and-tired of this and I even more upset that Obama-Biden, although getting much tougher, are still treating McCain and Palin with kid gloves. The Obama must continue to attack hard and strong, continue offering their own plans, and continue and even step up their anger.

Iraq war cost – $1 Trillion – McBush Led
Bail Out – $ 1 Trillion – McBush Conservatism which is Deregulate

McShame policies as exemplified in his actions is Shoot and Spend....which is no policy in the Global interdependent world.

We need leaders that can Listen, Analyse, Re-Analyse and then present views in an articulate manner.

Wake up people and Vote Obama / Biden.

Break out the hip waders! More BS from TEAM MCLIAR! Loved George Will's column in the Washington Post today comparing McSame with the Red Queen in "Alice in Wonderland"....

The Republicans are morally banckrupt on campaign issues. They will try to do their best to spin, compound and lie on issues after issues to win an election.

How long will the voters realize that they are being duped?

Between the two evils, I will go for the lesser one.

He'll say anything to win. He's lost every bit of his integrity and anyone that votes for him considering this has no reason to do so accept racism. It's the truth so lets just put it out on the table.

Seriously, a question to all republicans considering voting for mccain/palin – does it bother you how the lies flow easily from their mouths? Can you in clear conscience vote for them?

At what point does the media step in and insist on some fact-checking for advertisements. Newspapers typically hold to a fairly strict fact-check before publish standard. Why is it that national media advertizing is exempt from this, or any standard of honesty and integrity?

McCain says he stands for change. What the hell have you done for the last twentry years of your service?

No one to blame the mess we are in today but the public. Maybe if we have a total collapse of the economy then you will learn your lesson.

Another lie by quick draw McCain. He hasn't taken a position he hasn't changed. Lack of judgement we can not tolerate!!!!

I though that Obama came out with a 6 point plan last tuesday. Am I wrong.

Another complete lie from McCain. Not just a lie, but one so utterly disproven, it's not even funny.

I mean, when you've got someone not too quick like CNN (sorry) jumping on the bandwagon and saying that Obama has offered a real plan plan and acted Presidential during this crisis, while McCain has offered nothing but false, blustery BS – well, then you know you've got a problem.

McCain's economic adviser said it's not urgent for McCain to put out his economic plan now and the time to do it is after he is elected when he presents it to Congress. If that's not being mum, I don't know what is! Besides, McCain was bouncing around all last week giving conflicting opinons from one day to the next about the state of the economy and the bailout, even lashing out at the SEC commissioner, trying to sound tough. He looked like a dog chasing its tail. Even the NYT called him not presidential. Enough said.

I will say it for Obama! He's my man! WE WANT COMMUNISM NOW!
We need a planned economy with a centralized government. We want our jobs guaranteed, and our health care managed by the government. we want wage and price controls! Vote OBAMA !!!

That's right, keep you plan to yourself until you are ready to reveal. the republician are all liars except for people like Chuck Hagel and a few others.

Go Obama/Biden

LIARS. Plain and simple. Which candidate would put it on the table first and offer to call truce on the negative, misleading, fact-distorting attack ads and run their campaign solely and entirely on the truth, the evidence and the issues? I know which one I think it is. I think we all do, whether you're in denial (i.e., republican) or not.

They are being seen through more and more. They will LOSE!

Mum's the Word – Hey, thanks for your excellent definition of the word "mum." I love it!

Commenter *Sarah* must be part of the McCain campaign so you cannot believe anything she says. Someday she will learn the definition of integrity and honor - she won't find it in the McCain campaign. Good luck in your search.

Lies or not, doesn't matter, they work!

I don't blame Obama. The Republicans got us in this mess. Let them get us out of it. Bush, their leader, is and idiot and they will have to figure out a way to resolve the problem–not Obama. He did the right thing by talking about change. McCain wants to continue down Bush's stupid path, with Gidget, Yuck.

Obama/Biden 08

McCain went on the Today Show and took a stance on the issue.

Obama sent his VP to the Today Show so he didn't have to take a stance. It's the same as voting "present" so you don't have to take a side.

He's playing the political game and it's the US who will lose if he deceives enough innocent people and wins.

This ad is approved by the man who claims that our economy is still strong on the same day that one of the largest financial firms collapsed. I think that says enough.

What do you expect from Obama when he voted "present" 136 times in the Illinois senate?

This is the most undecisive man in the history of the U.S. or is it just that he's always trying to play both sides at the same time?

We need a President that isn't afraid to take action.

We need a President that has Americans best interest at heart.

We need a President we can trust.

We need JOHN MCCAIN

“McCain and his Congressional allies led.”

Yes, they led this economy over a cliff. That's leadership we don't need. We don't need another leader who is decisive and wrong.

Obama 08

Yet another outlandish lie by the McCain campaign.

First, he tried to just lie his way out of the economic situation. He tried to tell us that the fundamentals of this economy were strong. Then, he had to back pedal and admit that there are major weaknesses.

He's such a liar.

Sarah-

Did you even bother to link to Fact Check. This is another of many many lies. And now even the media is pointing it out and what does McSlime's campaign do.... they blame the media instead of actually changing their tactics to become more honest.

Can't talk about issues cuz they are on the wrong side of them... as are most Repugs. Gotta make sure we discuss personalities and likeability.

Having a beer with Bush screwed us for decades!!! Not again!!!

Obama will be better than any experienced Republican because he is intelligent enough to understand what he doesn't know.... rather than just throw solutions to caution into the wind... like Mr Paulson's ideas right now with Wall St.

As I have said before. YOu need to be under educated or a high school drop out to vote for McCain. No one in their right senses would vote for this joke. The woman from Alaska didn't even know that Ireland is not part of the UK. Very sad.

Ronald Reagan presided over one of the worst economic crisis on working Americans since the Depression while ballooning our deficit for defense spending. Homelessness as we know it today began under Reagan.

But no one remembers. We've been through this before. This is the third time in twenty years!!!

When are WE the American people going to vote for the guy who bring some smarts to the job not the guy who we see ourselves having a beer with??

The Neo-cons don't care about working folks because THEY AREN'T working folks!!!

at least obama didnt play partisan politics on this. FACT CHECK THIS ,CNN! obama did come out with a plan to prevent this, in the future, but, didn't want to influence the bi-partisan effort going on. i think dems should just say no to bailing out republicans until they take some responsibility in this. mccain is directly responsible for much of this mess.

LIE LIE LIE!!!

McCain cant even remeber what he is for or against!

Obam/Biden 08

I pay more attention to paid programs than I do to McCains Ads. I'd rather hear someone overhype a tile cleaner, than his campaign. There is too much at stake for all this non-sense.

Get out and volunteer to make sure that McCain and Palin can't win this election! Drive people to the polls, help at polling places, etc. We need Obama and Biden!

I like "MUM." Another definition could be called an "educated decision." Think before you talk. That's something John McSame's 150 yr old mother should have tought him a very long time ago.

And McCain/Palin wonder why SNL mocks them? This is what happens to liars.

I agree that Obama is favored when it comes to the economy and healthcare. I am only one person that can truthfully say that these are not my top priorities. I've be in a depression all my life, so it doesn't matter to me one way or the other what either of the candidates plans are for those issues. I'm not going to have any more or any less regardless what they do. MY CONCERN IS DISASTERS THAT'S HAPPENING ALMOST EVERYDAY. I PRAY TO GOD, THAT THESE CANDIDATES ARE WELL AWARE THAT WE HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS BESIDES PROTECTING PEOPLE'S MONEY. WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES, WE ARE IN DANGER. AND I DO NOT TRUST OR HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE IN OBAMA WHEN IT COMES TO WORLD AFFAIRS. I CAN SEE THE UNITED STATES GOING INTO CAPTIVITY FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

As usual blaming the democrats it will not work this time. John McCain party created this wall street mess and they cannot just hand them a blank check to bail out the rich boys in wall street without having a package in that $ 700 billion to bail out main street as well.

Obama is already back-peddling....."I won't be able to do all I had planned due to this economic crisis"....well, gee if he had been a Senator longer than 153 days he would have known the condition of this country and he wouldn't be making promises out of his butt.....at the expense of the business owners (most small and midsized) in this country. Obama is full of crap and doesn't have a clue. God forbid he wins....that's when the gates of Hell will open and we will all be in trouble.

At the time of a national crisis, we saw one man looking very Presidential and not trying to run things as if he was the person in charge of the U.S. He knew that it was a crisis and not something to be used as a political ploy. On the other hand, we saw a yelling old man making his demands as if he is in control of the U.S. There is no question in my mind who handled the sitiuation better.

CNN qoute:
"However, a recent fact check shows Obama has outlined his plans several times since the meltdown on Wall Street."

So in normal English "He lied again".

When are you folks going to call it like it is, and stop soft-selling McCain's garbage? What ever happened to hard-hitting, no BS reporting?

McCain is bold.
Obama is going to vote 'present' once again.

Obama/Biden = Carter/Mondale = Lines at gas stations
Vote McCain/Palin 2008.

Yet in an attempt to appear to have a relevant perspective and to curtail the mockery he received, McCain proposed last Friday his economic resolution then criticized Obama for not unveiling his plan. In a matter of five days, McCain went from the economy being fundamentally strong, to there's an economic crisis; don't bail out AIG, bail out AIG, and 24 hour derived economic agenda. And we're supposed to trust his experience?

McCain is so tired.

Please let's all chip in and buy McCain a nice Rocker and a Blanket so he can sit on one his 7 porches and retire.

@ Sarah...this is not BLAME, it is about what RepubLIEcans have been running form...responsibility!!!! the only Hypocrite is John "i am going to run an honorable campaign" McCain, Obama has called for McCain to join him to come up with a solution to this mess....where's John? under a rock thinking up his next lie to feed his less than intelligent followers....try fact check sweetie

wow another lie from McCain...how can any rational person believe a single word coming from McCain's lips? it is insulting to the American people, this is the kind of leadership we have had for the last 8 years, ENOUGH McCain.

Those who can – do. Those who can't – lie.

So CNN, why don't you come out and say the obvious, that this ad is a lie by the McCain campaign?

Why do a write-up on this ad, and as almost a footnote mention that it's not true?

WHO ARE THE REPUBLICAN LACKEYS IN CNN PERVERTING THE TRUTH?

I don't care if you don't post this, you have to search your own souls and decide if you really care about America and everyday Americans, rather than servicing the wealthy fat-cats who are destroying America.

Ms. Sherman has a slant to her coverage.
"However, a recent fact check shows Obama has outlined his plans several times since the meltdown on Wall Street."
Doesn't she know some of us are watching and Obama has NOT taken a position on the bailout plan. He is being cautious because he doesn't want to take the wrong position. HOw is that leadership? It's kind of like voting "Present".
C'mon CNN, don't you have any reporters without a liberal slant?

PLEASE DON'T LET THE GOP DUMB YOU DOWN. WE'RE BETTER THAN THIS.

If McCain and Palin will so brashly lie to us as candidates, how can we trust them as our presidents?

STOP LYING!!!

They've driven this independent clearly to the higher ethics of Obama.

Riiiight.

I've been over both candidates websites. McCain puts out a lot of "shoulds" and "woulds", but much less detail.

Plus, while he is decisive, he's usually wrong.

last time i checked "W" is still president... shouldn't "W" be working on the fiscial mess.. that was created on his watch

The McCain campaign outright lying? That would have been a shock in 2000. In 2008 it's not.

So what is McCain's and repulicans plan: continue paying CEOs their billions in severance package? Oh I forgot....Mcsame's loobyists advisors and Fiorina will be beneficiaries. I suppose with 13 cars, one can hardly seem to care about CEOs packages.

these republican ran ads are so pathetic, if you look at the polls if you really beleve the polls,which i don't, these ads are not working, they are unsubstaniated, they have no substance whatsoever, and niether does john mcsame, obama will win in a landslide, distract and attack. the republicans can attack but they can't goveren OBAMA 08

What a dumb ad! Experience? McCain has ZERO experience with economics!!!

I think he goes home every night and watches "Thirty Seconds over Tokyo!"

Please stop telling bald faced lies that are obvious! For crying out loud, do you think we are all idiots that are not listening to what each of you are saying. Obama came out with a statement immediately, and a plan after meeting with his economic advisors. Oh, gee, isn't that what a president is supposed to do?? Or, like McCain, go off half-cocked and show rage at the crisis that he just hours earlier said wasn't a crisis. Yeah, that's who I want with their finger on the "button."

Obama/Biden 08

Why is CNN doing fact checks for the Obama campaign, can't they do their own? Oh yeah, I almost forgot that there was media bias in this campaign.... Annoy the media! Vote McCain/Palin!

"Which party is more to blame for the U.S. financial crisis?
Democrats 28% 44264
Republicans 72% 111867
Total Votes: 156131"

This is not a scientific pole but man, those are not some serious numbers, those are some crazy numbers!!!

Well, of course they led, led us right into the crisis that is. This is the way news is supposed to be delivered. Not as an advertisement, where you don't have to put the content through the truth test. Thank you CNN for sharing the truth alongside the garbage that is this ad.

Everything McCain says is a lie. So what can he tell anyone ?

mccain stop lying to the american public. you turn on your friend just to win.

So CNN, why don't you come out and say the obvious, that this ad is a lie by the McCain campaign?

Why do a write-up on this ad, and as almost a footnote mention that it's not true?

WHO ARE THE REPUBLICAN LACKEYS IN CNN PERVERTING THE TRUTH?

Well, McMouth,you have done it again.........Daley, now this comment.....
do you check your facts,before releasing an add....do you have people that are worthy to run a campaign? Wait.......do not answer yet.............
.........think................think a little more.........ask a question or two............
.............check out the facts................go over your plan...............................
......o.k. .....talk to the media.......ups...that is what Obama does.....never mind....just jump right in the middle of a problem,no matter what the size ,or how long it took to develop,don't think.......jump.That is the McCain that is showing "itself" to EVERYBODY. Do you REALY think people are impressed with this,.??????????????????NOT>

More lies

What exactly did McCain do that Obama didn't again? I'm just worried people will buy into all this nonsense... Thank you for the fact checks!

Should Obama rant and threaten to fire people that the president doesn't have the authority to fire and seem desparate, uninformed, and unpresidential? yea, he was too late on that stance................

What a crock.

AMERICA, HOW CAN YOU STAND FOR THESE LIES?

Last week McCain said the "economy was sound".

MY GOD, are you people deaf????

Meanwhile, McCain waits for Joe Lieberman to whisper the correct answer in his ear so he knows what position to take on this.

We're tired of McCain's lies. When will the media take responsibility and air ONLY truthful ads?

I'm beginning to think the media likes the mess the people are in.

My cable is the first thing to go. It's no longer a necessity. Lies can be picked up anywhere. Why pay for lies?

Sensible man: "I will wait until I have all the facts before I make a statement."

Hothead idiot: "Let's fire the person responsible!"

Hmmmmm...... I guess if being sensible is being "mum", I'd rather have someone who wants to make sure he knows what he is talking about first before he follows the other two mantras

"Ready, Fire, Aim" and "Open mouth, insert foot"

"Mum"- (adj). 1.A word used to describe a political candidate with the intelligence and common sense not to jump to conclusions or feel forced to speak on an issue without carefully weighing the facts. 2. The unwillingness to prematurely offer words based on political gain rather than with an adequate knowledge base. 3. (n.) A pretty flower to present to Cindy McCain when her husband loses the election and retires.

If McCain can't speak the truth then just don't speak at all. I am so tired of his lying. How in the world is anyone suppose to have confidence in a leader if he can't tell the truth. This is basic elementary common sense. Have some pride.

>>However, a recent fact check shows Obama has outlined his plans several times since the meltdown on Wall Street.<<

Shorter version: McCain lies... again.

119 days till the end of the Bush administration.

It's better not to say anything when it's not known what exactly is going to be the outcome. The mccain camp is used to having to backtrack so they would squawk as to obama staying "mum".

Very true. The only thing Obama & Democrats care about is how to blame Republicans in this crisis instead of putting hearts together how to overcome. What a hypocrite!

McCain is a habitual liar!!! I guess he is playing on the whole "American are not intelligent enough to pay attention or vote on the issues..." thing! As the bible says, people would rather believe a lie over the truth.

Lies Lies and more lies... Repugs are beginning to get really boring.

Obama presented a detailed plan before McCain presented an outline.

TELL THE TRUTH JOHNNIE MAC – You have no honor !! It's gone. Out the window so you can win an election.

NO MCCAIN

What do you do in the face of blatant lies?

Once again McCain is a Lier

Obama/Biden 08

Obama will win my STATE OF FLORIDA

Shocking isn't it!? McCain/Palin tell another LIE!

Obama won't release his plan until the debates. God forbid if he told us it last week. McSlime and Plain ol' Palin will have stole that idea along with the others they've already taken. They have no originallity.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

My God John McCain will say anything and whatever garbage sticks to those stupid enough to vote for him with all his lies sticks!

He has no morals or judgement and will do anything to win.

I pray to God he loses big.
