Watch: Palin answers questions during a cheesesteak run Saturday.
WASHINGTON (CNN)— Sen. John McCain retracted Sarah Palin's stance on Pakistan Sunday morning, after the Alaska governor appeared to back Sen. Barack Obama's support for unilateral strikes inside Pakistan against terrorists
"She would not...she understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest," McCain told ABC's George Stephanopoulos of Palin. "In all due respect, people going around and... sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's—that's a person's position... This is a free country, but I don't think most Americans think that that's a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin."
Saturday night, while on a stop for cheesesteaks in South Philadelphia, Palin was questioned by a Temple graduate student about whether the U.S. should cross the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan.
"If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin said.
During Friday night's presidential debate in Mississippi, Obama took a similar stance and condemned the Bush administration for failing to act on the possibility terrorists are in Pakistan.
"Nobody talked about attacking Pakistan," Obama said after McCain accused the Illinois senator of wanting to announce an invasion. "If the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them out."
McCain emphasized Sunday, Palin "shares" his view on the matter.

McCain and Palin,
Flip-Flop.
How long you and Palin are going to play this game?????
The series of unfortunate gaffes starts on.
OOPS ! Now, if only the entire world could "unhear" everything she has said, the heavens would part and down would come McCain/Palin.
You are right Senator McCain. People should not be asking policy questions of our candidates! Good lord!
Whoopsy-daisy! Something tells me this won't be the last time this campaign that McCain is going to have to 'retract' a statement by Palin. I wouldn't doubt if he has to retract about half of her debate against Biden....
John McCain is a joke. Let that lady have her own opionions. I don't think she is against Obama like they make her out to be. I think she is on tape somewhere saying she supports Obama and thinks he has great ideas.
LOL – McSame if you let her off her leash once in a while she'd actually improve at answering questions. Bomb bomb bomb Iran! Oops!
Why isn't McSame man enough to admit when someone else is right? Obama did it several times during the debate. I thought that's what the Straight Talk Express was all about...
OBUMA didn't even go as far as to address the stupid things Biden has said during the campaign.......
John McCain should drop out because he is dragging the Sarah Palin Campaign down.
Palin is dangerously under-prepared. Shame on you McCain!
SHE HAS NO POLICY VIEW BECAUSE SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY THEY WILL HAVE TO RETRACT A HELL OF ALOT MORE STUFF PALIN SAYS IN THE DEBATE GET READY FOR
W RETRACT! WE RETRACT ! WE RETRACT
Nope, sorry, Senator. You don't get to :"retract" somebody else's ignorant ramblings. Sarah Palin is exactly what you now fear she is: incapable of taking your place if necessary.
Palin has no clues and McCain is out of touch!
What else is new?
Obama / Biden 08
Maybe McCain should tell Palin her stance on the topic before she contradicts him again.
More of the unraveling of John McCain... and the poll numbers continue to decline. VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!
Spin..Spin...spin...I am so tired of McCain & Palin...She doesn't have a clue...PERIOD!!!...and MCain is a hot-head..trying to keep his temper under control..anyone could see that watching the debate!!! It seemed that Obama made McCain agrravated!!!! Obam was cool, clam, collective and to put it mildly...PRESIDENTIAL!!!
Oops. She did it again.
What a joke. She actually gives an answer to a question that's not incomprehensible, and Grandpa has to take it back. McLame came across as lame in the debate. Obama and Biden are out campaigning while he now needs to lock Caribou Barbie back up in the closet until Election Day.
Hopefully, independents and undecided voters will come to see this farce for what it is and put us all out of our misery by giving us the change we need.
Just say NO to Bush 44 and Caribou Barbie.
Go Obama/Biden!!!
This is great! I cant wait to see how badly she screws up during the debate!
90% Bush + 9% Cheney + 1% Maverick + 0% Knowledge of the Economy = 100% John McCain.
Obama supporters criticizing McCain/Palin on this topic – two words: Joe Biden
Poor John McCain he forgot to give Palin her opinion before she was let out in public.
Why do I feel like McCain treats Palin like a naive daughter instead of a "own minded" individual. Scary. I am voting for Obama. But I feel so insulted how the international stage probably looks at us. We really are becoming dumb and dumber. McCain dishonored us by chosing her. I actually feel sorry for her.
More reinforcement for a growing sentiment: the Disasta from Alaska!
This is getting quite interesting. I am sure there will be many more contradictions in the near future. This also makes me look forward to her debate with Joe Biden. The true colours are going to come out for sure.
My God she's a moron
@Bottom Line: Biden isn't on a leash. OBAMA is man enough to allow other people to have their own opinions and thoughts. That's the entire point of the Straight Talk Express! Oh wait, that is burning on the side of the road, sorry.
Is Palin McCain's Puppet?
She is not allowed to talk to the media, she is not allowed to speak out her mind... she is not allowed to take charge of the campaign when McCain has to go to D.C.
What is McCain trying to do?
Even Palin knows John McCain is out of touch.
Are you kidding?!
Seriously, she gaffes at a cheese sandwich stand and THAT is McCain's response?!
Sign of things to come – McCain to Palin – " Shut up and look pretty, let me do the talking." What a joke, can't even begin to imagine a McCain/Palin government, it's going to be a 3rd Bush term. May God have mercy.
Can't she ever get anything right? No wonder they don't want her to say anything in public. After McCain's bizarre behavior about showing up to his debate, I wouldn't be surprised at all if she didn't show up to hers. A sick child, some family problem – she could come up with 100 reasons not to show. I can't beleive he continues to keep her on the ticket.
this is a joke right? I was so mad George didn't drill McCain harder on this
We all should know by now McSame picked Palin as a puppet.......a FEMALE puppet that is. She is supposed to sit there, look pretty, and keep her lipsticked mouth shut. How dare her open her mouth and voice an opinion, particularly, if it is NOT an opinion dictated to her by Rove!!!!
Unfortunately, there a LOT of people who don't pay any attention to comments, policy, or intelligence. They just want "somebody like me". How do you think Bush got elected twice. It's those same people that will vote for Palin.
I don't want somebody just like me to be the president. I want somebody smarter and more capable than me. I want the brightest person in the country to be president. Unfortunately, that view seems to be in the minority.
Humm...She can't even retract her own statement? Wow how long is she going to last?
McCain/Palin need to throw in the towel before it gets worse. This is just like watching an extended comedy sketch off SNL but the scary part is that its REAL!!!
mccain is freaking out...
If this had been Biden, McCain would have an ad airing now.
This Friday should be fun for McCain after he has to explain what Palin actually meant at the debate on Thursday.
Talk about a loose wire! Now, it's one thing to retract Palin's comments during the campaign – but if McCain/Palin are elected, how does he retract her blunders then?
lol – McLiar had to "retract" what she said. What does that mean? What she said now...never happened? I'm so tired of McSame/Lyin' Palin treating us like we're stupid people. Anyone with any sense would vote for any candidate above McSame.
I wanted Hillary Clinton- based on issues and qualifications.
But Sarah Palin will do- as a backlash against the vitriolic hatred against Clinton and all women that came out of the Obama camp.
The Obama campaign and their hateful supporters that use filth and vulgar insults against fellow Americans and sexual comments against wome are the TRUE PIGS in lipstick.
"D'OH!"
Gee. It's funny. After watching last night's Saturday Night Live skit with Tina Fey, I don't think I am able to tell them apart anymore.
i wasn't there , but I read CNN's report and she clearly said she was agreeing with Obama stance regarding Pakistian action or inaction based on her response.
Right now, frankly I don't care what she says. I am more concerned with the economics of our country...and if we are being dupped, again.
Let not the buyer rejoice or the seller grieve for wrath is upon the whole crowd. Ezekiel 7:11 Silver or gold will not save you vs 19
Our destiny is in the hands of God.
I can't believe that Sen McDeny is not letting Sarah has her words. Comeone, you picked her for her reformist credential.. if she makes a statement that doesn't suit you then either you made a bad choice or she doesn;t understand your position.
This is called spinning the comment after screwing up, just like your fundamentals of economy statement. You guys lie and spin at the best.
We all agree to a point it might come dcown to us crossing borders, but we also know each and every one of us in America share respect for countries that unless necessary, we wouldn't want to cross borders, just like we don't want anyone crossing our borders. Sarah Palin is American first, then political same as you and I. I am sure she too means that 'after you take for granted what I stand for, then yes, if necessary we might eventually need to cross borders for strikes. Quit taking people to task, and be human. True Americans give benefit of the doubt, not communistic stances like you all are.
Mcsame's camp is in confusion. God help us...
These are the candidates for people with bad judgement and they are represented very well.
I hope someone asks Palin during Thursday's debate about Sen McCain's responsibility for the last banking crisis when he, as a core member of the Keating Five, helped destroy the now non existent Savings and Loan industry.
A lot of America actually feels that we should act on good intelligence. Clinton did it, Bush thought he was doing it, liberals and conservatives can probably agree on this. I bet most Americans think we should strike within Pakistan's borders if it meant a shot on the life of bin laden irregardless of their political affiliation.
There she goes again, opening her mouth and contradicting her own Running Mate, she cannot even remember what she heard the day before and keep her story straight. She is scrary.
I was a very very strong Palin supporter and would have voted for her, but after her interview with Katie Couric, I think she is a disaster waiting to happen.
PLEASE TAKE IT FROM ME ALL REPUBLICANS. IF YOU ARE INTELLIGENT AND A LOGICAL THINKER, YOU WILL NOT VOTE FOR THIS WOMAN OR HER RUNNING MATE. SHE IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY.
CONVERT TO OBAMA/BIDEN
So everyone jumps on Palin for saying the US would go into Pakistan to chase the bad guys – so what. Palin did not say that the US would not coordinate any such attacks with the Pakistan Government. Palin did not say that she approved going into Pakistan against the Pakistani government's wishes. This is a lot of hoop la over a cheese steak sandwich...
Now ,let's look at Obama's and Biden's recent misstatements. Obama did not know that Russia held a seat on the UN Security Counsel – a big oops. Biden said that his father watched FDR as President during the Depression in 1929 - er, Joe - FDR was not president in 1929 or during the depression......and there were only 50 television sets in the entire US in 1929 - another Biden fairy tale. Obama, unlike Palin, said as President he WOULD violate Pakistan's sovereignty and attack terrorists inside the country without permission --Big OOPS
Sound like Gov. Palin sides with Sen. Obama on several issues:
1) Sen. Obama's legislation that opened up the government's checkbook online
2) Sen. Obama's energy policy
3) Sen. Obama's policy toward fighting terrorists in Pakistan
It's sad when Sen. McCain has to control what Gov. Palin thinks and dismisses her thoughts.... how sexist!
I thought McCain looked very uncomfortable and testy when asked about this comment of Palin's this morning.
I am trying to figure out how he's going to be standing beside her at the debate on thursday night whispering his approved answers in her ears.
So we're not supposed to pay attention to what candidates say?! C'mon, Senator. You're being ridiculous. It's not like we have anything else to go on, as far as newbie Palin is concerned.
"When Putin rears his head" and flies over Alaska . . .etc. This woman
is unbelievable.
Democrats 08.
»McCain/Palin=Presidential DREAM Ticket/Team. The WINNERS. Yes.
He'll follow Osama to "the gates of hell" but not into Pakistan?
Sounds like a husband telling his wife he knows what's best for her. They are typical Americans in the worst way.
The McCain Camp is imploding before our very eyes!
I guess she really needs to have her cards out at all times. She might as well jump on her cell phone and call McCain himself and repeat what he says over the phone. This woman is about as sly as a brick and as capable of running our country as a brick too.
Too bad it is too late for you to change your mind now, John.
The wheels are falling off the McCain-Palin wagon and there is nothing the RNC can do about it. It was just a matter of time before this ugly head would rear itself. Plain is so confused right now that she doesn't know night from day! This only furthers the desperation McCain and the RNC have put themselves in.
Friday night showed the real John McCain, an old fart who is way past his prime. While I laud and admire his service in Vietnam, he does not have the basic tools to become the leader this country needs in the 21st century. No matter how the RNC tries to spin things, they have a complete turkey on their hands!
McCain should retire... To Baghdad!
This whole campaign has become "adventures in damage control". It's hard to stay on message when you can't even decide among yourselves what the message is. I know, the message is, "This campaign's a mess."
It's not Gov. Air-Head's remarks which need to be retracted, it's the moron herself. I gotta be honest, her stupidity was fun to laugh at for a while but the joke's worn off for me. This country, and our world, have too much at stake for her to continue as a candidate with a real possibility of becoming President one day. I wish to God, not as a Democrat but as an American citizen, she's be replaced on the Rep. ticket as soon as possible.
oh please McCain and all you Republicans....the bottom line here and I blame McCain for this. He chose someone to help GET HIM ELECTED withou vetting that person or even knowing that person. Obama on the other had could have won this election on "popularity" bu choosing Hillary but he didnt! He put the health of his administration first to help govern this country. You Republicans and the McCain campaign are being EXPOSED for all you are. I am sure that you will even TRY to say McCain brokered a deal on this bail out....NOT GOING TO WORK FOLKS...McCain is an opportunist and is self severing his interests only!
The president of Pakistan was just on Blitzer saying he would SUPPORT what Obama and Palin would do if Bin Laden was spotted in Pakistan!
NOW he is going have retract his retraction and CLAIM is was his idea in the first place!!!??
sarah paylin is worse
Geezer's team should consider this a training session for all the retractions Geezer's team will have scamper and retract Friday morning after the bobble head Gidget is gutted by Obiden Thursday nite.
Why in the world would any self respecting woman choose to be the running mate of John McCain? I can just imagine what goes on behind the scenes knowing about the famous temper of McCain. This guy, should he be elected, will have absolutely nothing to do with her except to pull her out for photo ops. Ego first on both their parts.
Bottom line: you're funny. whose campaigns and what debate have you been watching? how does that kool-aid taste? you really have no clue, do you.
I kind of like the remarks of Biden and Hillary when they said Obama lack any experience and would be a poor choice for president. Guess that makes Biden a flip flopper too.
Just wait and see...Sarah Palin is going to have a family emergency that is going to keep her from the debate this week. She is not ready, McCain and his advisors know it. Just you wait and see, there will be a family emergency and she will have to go home.
I don't know, I mean, going around and listening while people are having conversations... isn't that where ideas come up? Isn't that how a person gets their policies across?? OH! You mean, when she doesn't have 4 handlers there to help her answer the question! How stupid of me. I LAUGH at the Republicans talking about free speech. LAUGH!
The Obama supporters PROTEST too much that the great Obama should win and will win.
In reality the Obama campaign is the pig with lipstick. They campaign on a message of unity and hope and then they employ vulgar, foul filthy tactics to divide and conquer their own party, to gut and trash the BEST democratic candidate and to steal the nomination.
The whole world is aware that the BEST choice was HRC- yet the superdelegates installed Obama.
Now the pigs in lipstick try to force the very voters they trashed- to vote for Obama. Some strategy and some hope. Some unity and some change.
Poor Palin. I am not a fan of her, but I so sympathize with her. She is completely out of her league, having been dropped into a heated race with very little substantive qualifications. I find it hypocritical that the Right has long decried the ills of quota-based affirmative action and then they choose this woman based on that same ideology. She was picked simply because she is a woman. Now she finds herself completely out of her league and dangerously close to upending the campaign with her recklessly delivered memorized policy stances. The media is ripping her apart, and with good reason. She needs to step aside BEFORE Thursday's debate for the good of America. She needs to put "Country First," rather than her intoxication with political power.
And, by the way, where are her tax returns?! As taxpayers have to bailout Wall Street, she is the only candidate on either side who has not released her taxes. Why is that?
SHE WOULD NOT.................!
MORONS AT WORK !!!
THE POLICIES OF PEOPLE THAT
HAVEN'T A CLUE ON EARTH.
SHE NEEDS ANOTHER WHICH DOCTOR BRAIN RX.
IT WILL DO MCSENILE SOME GOOD TO GET ONE, TOO.
Straight Talk – I say what I believe and you can believe what I say
John McCain – Just because I said something doesn't mean I believe it.
Is the problem that she doesn't know what she believes because the campaign hasn't told her yet? Amazing.
Get out of the fog.
Have you been impacted by the inadiquite policies of the past eight years?
Do you know anyone out of work?
Lost their home?
Lost their life for a misdirected war?
Returned home with PTSD?
Look around you. Maybe down your own street. Talk to your family and get out of the fog.
Vote for Obama
@ Bridgette - I don't know about Palin being on tape supporting Obama, but I've seen her supporting Ralph Nader in an interview she did before she was selected to be Obama's running mate...Are you gonna retract THAT Johnny boy?
»Americans=WAKE UP before its TOO LATE!!=Do you really WANT(?!) a USA President with a ARABIC(?!) NAME!?!???!...For goodness sake!Is Everybody going INSANE!???!... John McCain is the MAN.This manhas a AMERICAN name=JOHN McCain and NOT some ARABIC name!!!... Get it?!...
Hey Bottom Line: I know you are but what am I doesn't cut it once you leave grade school. Can you stay on topic for a minute? Does this not concern you in the least? Try to answer without using the names Obama or Biden. If it doesn't concern you, fine!! Explain rationally.
This is what he gets for choosing her. I have always been a strong supporter of Obama, but if he were going to choose a woman for a running mate, why her? There were many far more qualified and intelligent women in the Republican party who would have gotten him far more votes in the process. I might not have agreed with their policies, but they would not have been all out stupid and dangerous to the point of destruction. McCain tried to pick someone he thought he could control. I hope women aren't dumb enough to vote for him because she is on the ticket. Lord forbid she ever end up as president and we're lucky enough to have an America after that, there won't be a woman for years to come. It is unfortunate that women and blacks and any other minority have to make that first impression, but it is a reality, and she will most certainly set women back; not advance them.
Lol. yeah well... "If B.S. were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself"... All said, uh?
She's an idiot. And as governor and VP she could even more care for what she says, and because that was an act of campaigning yesterday, so her private opinion should be let out!
Haha, she's a joke and well Thursday she has a chance for showing, that this job can't be learned in around a month.
Barack might have been less "experienced" but well, you know, he trains for being a president(and he will be awesome) for 19-20 months now. He is ready to lead. Mrs. Palin IS NOT!
Obama/Biden by landslide
«The Americans are NOT that dumb. John McCain/Sarah Palin will be the WINNERS. Of course.
Why can't he let Palin speak for herself?
@ Bridgette — I don't know about Palin being on tape supporting Obama, but I've seen her supporting Ralph Nader in an interview she did before she was selected to be McCain's running mate…Are you gonna retract THAT Johnny boy?
Wow.......that's funny. Reporters aren't supposed to report on policy discussions held by the candidates. McCain is pathetic. Great choice for your VP, Senator. Caribou Barbie strikes again!!!!!
SHUT UP......WITH YOUR LIES, CNN!!! SENATOR MCCAIN WAS JUST ASKED ABOUT THIS ON ABC, THIS WEEK. CNN PICKS ON ANYTHING IT CAN TO DISCREDIT GOVERNOR PALIN AND THIS ACT IS SHAMEFUL TO THIS COUNTRY. IF CNN WOULD BE HONEST AND STOP FORCING OBAMA ON THE COUNTRY, ALL WOULD THEN BE FAIR. CNN IS A LEFT WING, LIBERAL RAG OF A NETWORK THAT ACTS IN THE WORST INTEREST OF THIS COUNTRY.
Lol. yeah well... "If B.S. were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself"... All said, uh?
She's a fool. And as governor and VP she could even more care for what she says, and because that was an act of campaigning yesterday, so her private opinion should be let out!
Haha, she's a joke and well Thursday she has a chance for showing, that this job can't be learned in around a month.
Barack might have been less "experienced" but well, you know, he trains for being a president(and he will be awesome) for 19-20 months now. He is ready to lead. Mrs. Palin IS NOT!
Obama/Biden by landslide
Am not suprised because Palin is so unstable,but wow Obama has take a 8pt lead in the gallup poll,I wonder what stunt Mccain is going to pull now,because everytime Obama pulls away in the gallup poll Mccain really freaks out.
McCain can't even keep track of his own everchanging positions never mind having to babysit for Palin. HIs decision to choose Palin as a running mate was a huge failure !! According to many conservative pundits and politicians (National Reveiw) " We (republicans) Cannot run ona theme of Country First and then Have SARAH Palin as our pick for Vice President!!! She must leave the ticket!!"
I am just fine leaving her there as it is bringing more McCain supporteres to their senses!!
God forbid anybody ask her any meaningful questions when she does not have a mic in her ear!!!!!
Obama Biden o8!!!
This is a mockery! Americans wake up and see what is before you...a joke ticket!! Sarah Palin is not only a joke, she actually thinks she is capable of handling this position...that's scary! Speak loud and clear Americans...this is YOUR time. Let McCain know you are not stupid and will NOT be fooled. The World is watching and shaking our heads in disgust!
Hmmm...
Biden says Obama is NOT for Clean Coal...Obama says he is.
Biden didn't know which President presided in 1929.
Biden didn't know when TV was invented.
Biden says the Obama ad slandering McCain is outrageous and he never would have run it....
Yet the press continues to give the Obama campaign a free ride...why is that?
The BAIL OUT bill failed on Thursday because Obama opened his big mouth, and made Republicans ANGRY!
Why is there 20% of the 70 Billion dollars going to the ACORN Group?
A group that is under investigation for breaking election laws! A group that DODD wrote into the bill?
A group that supports Obama. A group that the Woods Fund and the CAC that Obama was CFO and Chairman of the Board alos funneled money to....MILLIONS. WHY aren't you reporting on this CNN?
Otherwise, she will start flying thru the air as all the HOT air in her cranium is released when she opens her mouth!
I have been to the grocery store, gotten popcorn and soda, checked that my cable bill was paid, and am all ready for Thursday night. What a show it will be! If she performs anything like her recent interviews, it will be a hoot!
I guess John McCain will follow Ossama bin Laden to the "gates of hell" or the Pakistan border, whichever he runs into first.
I'm glad he'll be sure to get Pakistan's permission before going after bin Laden. That's the kind of judgement I'm looking for in a President.
Communism said they would take over the USA without firing a shot. This is socialism at its best.
man I hope all voters take a realistic view of this vp of the repubs and really vote what is best for your country....
My God, after the Couric interview – no less!!!
Don't the mcCain people realize that Palin should not be let loose to open her mouth? The secret service for Palin shoud mostly be deployed to make sure that she is not caught exchanging words with folks who are not paid by the McCain campaign.
Ordering Cheesetakes? Don't they have in-room dining service at the hotel she is holded up? If not, Least call the local Chinese restaurant and oder for delivery! Don't let her out of sight of the security detail!
At the beginning I just thought that Palin may not be sophisticated or intellectual and experienced but possessed native, raw intelligence. By now, I think she is flat out dumb, lacking necessary brain structure to absorb information spoon fed for her and the common sense judgment to realize what she is doing that would look so devastatingly stupid.
She is making the entire USA a laughing stock on a global scale.
The GOP ticket is getting more and more entertaining each and every day; haha !!!
It's on and poppin' ... ha ha ...the VP debate is going to be the icing on the cake for the Obama Camp...ahhh haaa..Palin will not have a chance in hell against Biden.
»Sarah Palin=Beautiul,lovely,smart,very CAPABLE. This wonderful Lady is our next Vice-President. And she LOOKS BETTER tahn that "Joe something?!??!"??!... Americans WAKE UP before its TOO LATE!!!...McCain/Palin 08,OF COURSE. We are NOT in Asia or in Indonesia,we are in AMERICA!...
THIS LADY IT'S A JOKE !!! SHE SHOULD GO TO HOLLYWOOD TO A COMIC SHOW
WHAT'S NOT SO FUNNY IS, BELIVE ME, AMERCA WILL BE
IN BIG TROUBLE AND WILL BE RIDICULARIDED IF PEOPLE VOTE ON MACCAIN/APLIN TICKET BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE NOTHING MORE THEM A THIS MISS ALASKA CONDUCTING OUR DESTINY'S AND EVEN WORSE, OUR CHILD'S FUTURE !!! DO YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE WANTED A NEW BUSH DOIND THAT FOR YOU FOR MORE 8 YEARS ???
let me get this right. mcshame and the airhead have a good shot at the white house. lord have mercy, as my mother would say. bitter folks would rather to suffer four more years than vote for a black man. america is a sad pitiful place except for racist.
Sad but true. Republicans can not accept reality. Palin reminds me of Miss Teen USA SOuth Carolina when asked the question: Why is it that a fifth of the Americans fail to find the United States of America on a World Map? The aswer given was just like the answer Palin gave when asked about her claimed foreign policy experience. She woders like she is lost in the forest trying to find her way out.
"people going around and… sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's—that's a person's position… This is a free country, but I don't think most Americans think that that's a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin."
______________________________________________________
And McCain hasn't been doing that same thing to Obama? Please, if he wants to defend his VP, can he at least do it in a way that doesn't make him sound like the world's biggest f-–g hypocrite?
And why is MCCAIN retracting the statement and not PALIN? SHE is the one who made the d–n comment.
Forget about Palin.
McCain's sole line of attack, as stated numerous times in numerous ways during the debate, is that Obama is "not ready to lead". All but those utterly blinded by partisanship know this to be false. Whether or not you agree with the substance of Obama's positions, he clearly showed leadership Friday night, arguably more so than the reckless, stubborn McCain.
To the guy who called his friend and had her talk to him... you need to get out more. Or change political parties. Probably the latter.
Hilarious!!
This whole thing is like a train wreak....
Since when does someone retract a comment on part of another person....oh yeh...
I've met with the Iraqi government, they don't want a 16 month withdrawal...I know them.
I've been friends with Kissinger for 30 years, that isn't what he meant.
...on and on...
Haven't we learned that it might be a good character trait to have a president who is willing to admit that he was wrong about something at any point during his administration?
To "Bottom line":
Biden has given over 100 interviews since he was chosen. Alot more chances to slip up than through the now four questionings Palin has undergone, one of them from FOX News, a station so far up the GOP's butt that it comes as no surprise.
BOJO 08
BECAUSE MCCAIN AND PALIN AREN'T EVEN ON THE SAME PAGE
Has anyone yet called out McCain for his complete lack of understanding in saying that Pakistan was a failed state before Musharraf took power? He used that blatently false statement to make Obama appear naive, when it was really McCain who didn't know what the heck he was talking about. Pakistan was a democracy!
