I just want to see these two candidates beat each other senseless. THAT I could vote for.

McCain's age is already having an effect….he makes a blame statement and then condemns finger-pointing in the statement that follows. Either it's amnesia or an inner struggle to gain an identity. Needless to say that doing the same thing by using the same strategy and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity.

Seriously though, I believe McCain copied and pasted the formula that Bush used in 2000 to defeat McCain in the primary…but in doing so he paid the high price of losing his identity just to appease a whole lot of valuable conservative votes that would have been in conflict with McCain otherwise.

FreeNLovit- That's not a bad idea! That's a interesting statement! I like it!! It's refreshing to see some people still look at things without bias!

McCain, a once honorable man has turned into a hypocritical pandering prostitute. (No offense to prostitutes) There is no lie too blatant and no position he won't switch. As for Sarah Palin, you're kidding right? America first my butt.

Let's see - I thought McCain belonged to the Party of family values and morality? His running mate is supposedly an evangelical Christian? Yet, when the times get tough, both spew the most vile and disgusting slander and lies against Obama and Biden. In fact, they have been caught lying in almost every single one of their campaign ads. If this is what a moral Christian is all about - I think many people will be reexaming their religion and whether this type of "Christian" is one they can support for President. I find McCain and Palin's high and mighty religious talk to be the worst kind of hypocrisy. Obama is the only Presidential candidate displaying his true Christian values in this campaign. He has never once attacked McCain as a person. Obama's ads are about issues. McCain's ads are slander and never talk about the issues. Obviously, McCain is only a Christian when it is convenient for his campaign.

Did you see McCain house for sale today? $13 million, 14 fireplaces (in Arizona) 6 car garage, pool, wet bars inside and outside the house, wine tasting room…….. yeah this man knows what hardships the american people are going through………if he sells this house he still has 6 more. I wonder if all the others are in the millions too. I bet he doesn't own a house that is worth $200,000.00 course mine isn't worth that anymore either in this lousy housing market………..This man in not in touch with the American people, wake up America or we are going to be facing another 4 years of the same old crap……….

Ummm. What a week for his campaign. He looks tired and out of it.

McCain has gone from disturbing to disgusting! I swear, if I thought I wold have to see or listen to him past Nov. 4th, I would likely panic. I am sincerely grateful that men like Obama and Biden are leading this race. In my opinion, McCain and Palin have confused the term "maverick" with "weirdo."

dems blame bush for every thing under the sun but when he says the sky is falling they vote overwheimind to give 700 billion dollars to stop it, and they said they could lead the country back . what a joke.

The what-a-week won't end until McCain replaces Palin on the ticket. I hope he has Romney's or Lieberman's phone numbers close by.

Once you have lost your integrity you have nothing Mr McCain.

Next time, not that you have time for a next time, don't sell your soul to win.

McCain in new ad: 'What a week'

A Chicken With His Head Cut Off!

In other words he meant my friends its been A TOUGH WEEK I HAVE TRIED TO PULL EVERY DESPERATE STUNT TO SEE WHAT WOULD STICK AND NOTHING WORKED AND NOW MY CAMPAIGN IS IN THE TOILET. iM A LOSER.

When John McCain shot ahead in the polls I got so sick of everyone laughing at what they considered the morons in America based on the polling figures and listening to both McCain and Palin.

Anyway now people are just laughing at both McCain and Palin as the polls start showing Americans are in fact just as informed as people in any other part of the world can spot disfunctional people given the time to observe them for a while.

Good show America!!!!!!!!Get Obama into the White House and lead the world morally.

Give me a break, Johnny.

McCain = Patriotic on the outside; Liar on the inside

What a week?…….Where was Senator McCain when Republicans had control of Congress from 2001 to 2007 with George Bush as President?……………..pushing for "deregulation" that helped cause the mess!!

Every single John McCain ad attacks Obama and all have been found by fact checking groups to be "a lie" or "misleading". McCain is a pathological liar. He cannot even artculate his plan for America - because he does not have one. All he is left with then is to attack Obama. People are sick of McCain's negative and lying ads and it is turning voters away from him. He is too stupid to realize that and to see it is why he is falling further and further behind in the polls. McCain is a liar and a loser. We have enough of liars with Bush and Cheney. No one is going to vote for two more liars - McCain and Palin. They are both pathetic and unfit for office. Obama and Biden are good and decent men who have led a very "high road" campaign, We know exactly where they stand on the issues we care about most. McCain and Palin have told us nothing about their plans - all we hear from them is slander and lies. No intelligent American would vote for these two incompetent fools. One moron President for the past 8 years is enough. It's time for intelligence and real leadership. It's time for Obama and Biden!

mccain is a JOKE. he is flip flopper, bad temper, shows erratic behavior, choose palin which show no judgement how dare he run this ad mccain is doomed he should just drop out along with palin he is a jerk

Obama… rev wright…acorn…earmarks…promising the people without any money to back all the promises he is making to get your vote etc… the list is long…McCain Palin have a realistic approach.

Set the lights low… letting us know that we are in for one hell of a screvving by you. Nice… no.. really… gross!

what a "WEAK" is right.

McCain my man you have been played and you don’t even know it!
Would a serious conservative agree on this “Bail Out”"? Remember its Socialism! Barak comes out looking like the man in control. You tried to put the debate on delay while Obama pressed on and you just had to come back to DC before skipping Letterman to visit Katie, only to have 2/3 of your Republicans buddies kick your sorry old sack.
Obama is the Man!!

I cannot in good faith, vote for a man who stayed in a church and listened to a preacher who condemned America. Obama made a choice to sit and listen all those yrs. I will make a decision to vote for someone who put his life on the line for America.

Oh and it took OBAMA to pull everyone together in the Senate tonight. Nothing goes for McCain since he was too McChicken to speak afraid he was going to be trapped by Democrats so he said.

But Obama had the guts to lead here!

McCain is a disgrace to the women of this country….. to bring on a running mate all for the reason of getting the Women Vote because he was down in the polls….. he used her and is still using her……that should make every women in American angry. Palin is not VP material, McCain knows it, his campaign buddies know it, and now the American people know it after these interviews.

Trying to keep her under his thumb by only letting her do interviews, when he wants her to, with who he wants her too, and then tells her what she can and cannot say……….tomorrow will tell the truth at the Debate……if she fails at this, she takes mccain down with her……Oh well …… he shall reap what he sows……………

I wonder how stupid he thinks we are? Or is he losing his brain and cannot remember one day from the next??

When you can only view one thing at a time thru a "single lens" a lot of things appear fuzzy and out of focus!

There is no doubt that Obama won. I can skip the last two now, if the was Magoo's "strong suit" and I have heard all his old war stories and "loving" and "take care of them"! His tired bear joke and we know you did not win Miss Congeniality, you have used that line in all stump speeches and you told us twice during the first debate. so the save the old stories for the next time you are giving a speech at the VA hall, or at the Thanksgiving table for your grandchildren

The rest of us are looking toward the future, not the past, and especially, not your past.

Brian, you are a bigger IDIOT than McCain. You poor thing, go take your meds.

Didn't Sen. McCain suspend his campaign until they came up with a bailout deal?? Why is he still coming out with new ads promoting his campaign??

McCain NH

I don't hear McCain accepting any blame just spinning misleading ads. Can you tell us how Senator McCain positioned himself on this issue other than hiring them to work on his campaign. It seems he has know these indivduals for some time.

This is coming from the same guy who not only attacked Obama himself, but his campaign advisors attacked him as well. They said he showed partisanship. That running his campaign was far more important.

These are comments that were made just 2 days ago.

My dad told me a phrase a long time ago…."don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining"

Americans are not stupid.

72 years old. Save a little bit diginity for yourself.
I do not care Obama is brown or purple, he is good for the country. We are voting for our country's future. Please remember.

Yes, Scott L and Brian, glad to know that there are a few intelligent people out there. I was really beginning to wonder. Why do you think the Obamanuts are so blindsighted and ignore all facts? Obama is not who they think he is but they can't see it.

All you McCain supporters calling McCain a hero. Your hero has 13 cars (no woder he's now for alt-fuels), 7 houses, was one of the Keating 5, cheated on his ex wife with his current wife, snubbed a crippled person to get into a limo,offered wife up at a topless biker bar, voted agaisnt equal pay for women, then puts a woman on his ticket(And we have seen his motive behind that one). Thats your hero. That was for Brian who says Obama is the sleaze bag. Brian, I think you zigging when you should be zagging.

How lost is this man. He should never took on this task of running for president.

The other thing that scares me about McCain is it seems that he is trying to win the war in Iraq and bring our young people home to a Victory Parade one that he never got. No matter the cost of human lives to live out his fantasy through out youth to get his victory parade.

I am a veteran and I am not voting for McCain and it does not make me any less of an American. I take offence to his POW referances all the time when he flew only @30 hours over Vietman at 350 MPH. The real heros were in the jungle and trenches

With echos of Black Liberation Theology (Father?) Pfleger:

"I'm Barack Obama — and I'M ENTITLED!"

Then along comes the game changer: Hi, I'm Sarah Palin !

Go, Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden has been in politics since he was about 28, about 35 years! But I guess it is ok when you are a Democrat, but not a Republican. You guys are truly hopeless. You keep contradicting everything you say: McCain in politics too long(not as long as Biden); Palin not enough experience(way more than Obama); McCain takes Obama's ideas(increasing FDIC to 250,000 was a Republican idea long before Obama came up with it); Obama didn't come up with the bailout plan it was the Republicans(Barney Frank - we talked to Obama and he told us what to do so we put it in the bailout). Step back and look at yourselves. You are really looking stupid, not just ignorant. And there is a difference - look it up!

Hmmmm Steve, explain yourself. If by "narrowing the polls as we speak" you mean, falling behind in five new states (Florida, Minnisota, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia) then I see your point. Otherwise, enjoy voting for McCain/Palin.

There is no way I would vote for McCain. His history and his rhetoric in the last 6 months is so divergent he has the same credibility as "W" in my eyes. I know there are many folks out there that profess support for him and to you I offer my sincerest regret at your choice. He isn’t the polished gem you think he is. It is really depressing that this is the best candidate the GOP could offer you.

Scott L. Just in case you didn't know, John McCain's own campaign manager was being PAID $MILLIONS$ OF DOLLARS to line his own pockets by Fannie & Freddie.The last time he got paid was a few months ago.

Kim, the Dems are the one that specifically said they talked to their 'leader' Obama and put what he wanted in the bill. He guided them. This, of course, was said before the failed vote. Oh, what short memories the Dems have. They are by far the biggest whiners and blamers in this election. McCain has to defend himself against all these unwarranted attacks. And, of course, that gives you even more to complain about. Keep at it. You have changed me from a Dem to a Repub for the first time since 1976!

He is no longer the same man he used to be. What a joke.

This man is full of smoke screens and red capes. Come on Americans we have had enough of smoke screens. Repugs call us whiners. Please, Rep and Dems alike have a lot to TALK about and if it comes off as whining sorry. Bush has left all of us a lot to talk about, and I'd rather chance something different than that stuffiness and go for the change instead of the smoke screens and misleading things (too many) and the smoke screen of Palin on the ticket. No Mcchaos/Pollen (aaachoo! I'm allergic). Obama/Biden 08

I was asking a straighforward question and stating facts I learned from CNN. It seems people have forgotten both sides have palgarised or had gaffes in history.

Is it necessary for intelligent thoughts to be attacked?

I'd like to see you help be uniters as the candidate you are supporting wants to be.

I have watched my candidate work with both sides, work against both sides, be thoughtful, be impulsive and hug both Bush and Obama.

I have also heard quotes on CSpan from McCain at 10am repeated by Obama at 2pm, so it seems to me neither man has behaved the way I would.

he's not scared to look at the camera but heaven forbid he look at the person he's debating against. what a hero he used to be. now hes just a coward. pointing fingers at people trying to make a difference. he didn't even speak at the whitehouse meeting of the minds. cause he has no mind. no courage, no clue, and no worthy running mate

(CHRIS B ) MCCAIN DONT NEED ANYTHING FROM OBAMA. OBAMA IS A BIG JOKE JUST LIKE HIS HATING SUPPORTERS. OBAMA IS A BIG FLIP FLOPPING SHOWBOAT. OBAMA IS THE ONE THAT TAKES IDEALS FROM HRC ETC. OBAMA IS THE PUPPET MASTERS AND ALL OF YOU ARE JUST HIS LITTLE PUPPETS.

He's very good at pointing fingers … even when he is guilty! The thought must be, "I'm a republican, I don't count" or some other such nonsense. This guy couldn't buy a clue if he were the richest man on earth.

Speaking of rich, it must be hard having to sell at 17 room house … I mean mansion. Yah, he's just like us, isn't he?!?!? Not!

I doesn't matter, Obama will still win in November.

John, don't forget your meds before bedtime. My God, can you believe the Republican Party putting these two fools up as the party standard bearers!

The only plausible explanation is that the economy must be broken much worst than they are admitting right now AND, they don't want to win!

McCain is such a joke …

A LOL Joke …

John your not fooling any of us …

Please go home and watch your dentures soak

I find it funny that O'Bama continues to be so self-absorbed that he really believes McCain cares 2 cents about O'Bama.

O'Bama's 15 minutes of fame is almost up thank God. He is certainly not a leader and I am frankly offended that he even had the gall to run for this position.

Here is one question to CNN and maybe they can answer it since they use the same tactics as the Obama camp. I would like to know why if you post pro McCain posts on the Obama forum (say on Youtube) they will never post it whereas you can post anything on the McCain forums. Why the nazi tactics? Why not let people freely express their views on the Obama forum(s)?
Hillary supporters should be very well aware of what I am talking about.

Amazing. I talk to people in all walks of life everyday and can't seem to find anyone who cares for Obama. I get online and CNN seems strictly dedicated to McCain Haters. Now I know where all the nerds are. Playing like 15 people each so they can overwhelm the board with pro Obama rhetoric. Are y'all getting paid for this? Or do you just have NO life?

Keep hitting the public airwaves with 'Rein'.

It's all over the internet, in purposeful e-mails, and even starting to creep into the other MSM websites and stations, although they haven't as yet dared put it on the air.

This is a direct countersttack to the weak Obama attacks about McCain and 'Deregulation', and is the smoking gun as far as collusion between the sitting Democratic Majorities and Barack Obama.

It doesn't matter what happens now to the economy, this ad is the string that will anravel the whole sweater.

McCain/Palin '08

When Obama said be calm the markets are complex, McCain was shrieking that the failed bill was Obama's fault. Now he says it is not time for blame, just as people are starting to blame him. He tried to take credit for the bill. He jumped the gun, so he can have the blame for the bill failure. Now he seeks to avoid accountability for his actions.
McCain thinks in such simple linear steps. He is incapable of big picture higher level functioning. I believe his mental abilities have diminshed with age. Not at all unusual for a 72 year old man, and for these reasons, logically, this man will not bring about reforms.

What a weak candidate.

Why doesn't McBush just tell the truth ?
That a financial agreement would have been reached last Friday had he not flapped his ignorant, filth-spewing lips in the White House on Thursday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow ~ the McCain campaign really needs to straighten out. Or rather, don't. We need true leadership in this important time and not someone who likes to make drama. McCain truly is an extension of the Bush years - I've had enough and I'm voting Barack Obama!

By the way, McCain been in congress for over 25 years as a law maker. Why is it that one cannot work for the federal goverment even as an office cleck, if you are over 65 years old but McCain is allowed to run for the presidentcy which is more challenging at the age of 72? Just wondering…

What a week! Bottom line it over for McCain/Palin and the Repub's. We have had it! The Republicans under the leadership of George W. have run this country into the ground.

We must put Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden in the White House. All of the Republican fear tactics, lies and shameful ads will not work. As Democrates I can tell you Republicans that we will work 24/7 to make sure that on Nov. 5th the next president of these U.S. will be President Barack Obama and the Vice wil be Joe Biden.

We will work to make sure that the current seated Republican's are far and few between all replaced with SMART QUALIFIED DEMOCRATES. We will be Poll Workers, Poll Watchers, We will knock on doors, We will continue to phone bank, We will donate to Sen. Obama's campaign, We will drive voters to and from polls. There will not be another election as that of 2000. The Supreme Court will not decide this race.

To George W. Bush, the worst President in the history of this country, who should be placed on trail when he's out of office, Chaney, McCain, Palin, and all the current seated Rebublicans, We the Demoractes of these United States wish all of you the best in your furture endeavors! Yes we can ! Yes we will!

MSNBC will take care of you!!! The best Poiltical Ticker on the Web. Maybe even FOX..

They will at least post your long thought out blogs you worked so hard at to be heard. And by all the Negative CNN comments I can see I'm by far not alone on this one.

Ultimately Bush has the final say.

WHAT A WEEK. WHAT A LOSER. MAYBE HE WOULD STOP LYING AND HAVE A CONSISTENT RESPECTABLE MESSAGE HE WOULD GET SOME ATTENTION.

WE NEED REAL LEADERSHIP FOR THIS COUNTRY AND OBAMA HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT WITH HIS FORESIGHT ON KEY DECISIONS (IRAQ, ECONOMY ETC) . ENOUGH OF HALF LEADERS LIKE BUSH AND OBAMA. WE NEED A LEADER NOW!!

OBAMA 08

Senator McCain went back to Washington to get the conservative members of the house involved. He accomplished this and a better plan began to evolve. Country first!

It is much better to take the time to get it right than to rush and get it wrong!

Obama as usual just smooth talks/schmoozes and leaves the hard stuff to someone else. He would rather play to the camera and the crowd than work for the American people! Obama first!

He's now stealing Barack's commercials?

Wasn't John McCain one of the people blaming everyone else? I have to admit that both houses, democrat and republican are to blame for this mess we are in. The pot just finally boiled over. It's how you react to a crisis that tests your leadership and I think McCain didn't react correctly.

Hmmm, someone else made two similar commercials already. Who could that be? Oh yeah, that's right, Sen Barack Obama. Does McCain have an original idea for his campaign? He's already trying to use the change theme as well.

Good grief! If McCain wins is he going to have Sen Obama on speed dial to give him new ideas?

What a bunch of BS. Spare me your drama, Johnny come lately

Meanwhile, he couldn't even look at Barack Obama during the debate. Please tell me all about bipartisanship, Senator.

McCain was the one who injected partisan politics, as well as the entire election, into the financial crisis and the bailout bill. He also gambled the success of a bill that our economy needs to stay upright in order to bolster his political credentials as a "leader." It seems the McCain campaign is trying to be more hypocritical each day, as exemplified by this ad. McCain points the finger and affixes blame to the Democrats every chance he gets, and he comes out with this ad? If he's trying to make intelligent people laugh at him, it's working well.

Yes, Palin being one 72 year old heartbeat away from the presidency is scary. But, what is scarier, is having the people who is running McCain's campaign, heading his administration if he was to win. They have ran the worst, desparate and erratic campaign I have ever witnessed. What would they do if they were running his administration horrifies me?

Yeah and CNN still refuses to report on this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs

What a country. Free speech as long as I tell you what to write in a "free forum". Thanks CNN

Erratic is a very good description of the McCain campaign……..starting with his not so well thought-out choice for VP……..suspension of campaign…….riding white horse to DC to rescue bail-out negotiations….no debate…..ok debate…..muzzle and hide Pahlin…….ok let her interview w/McCain as body guard……..blame Obama and demos for bail-out failure…….decry blame in bail-out failure……..frantic, panic…….

clueless!

The man could not be anymore wrong. It has been what is not right for the american people versus what is right for corporate america. The majority of the american people are against any bailout for the money grubbers. They have let their reps. in congress know this in large numbers. Those who want to keep their jobs have listened and voted the bill down the ones that want to leave office voted for it. It is as simple as that.

Like McBlame doesnt blame the democrats for all the problems in the world.

Trying to play nice nice doesnt suit you old man

this man has lost his dignity…..and the election. sad sad sad man is mccain

McCain should drop out the race because he is getting desperate and his running mate for VP dont have any idea how to run this country…..McCain your campaign strategy is awful ….Bye Bye McCain and Palin

Wasn't it Mc Cain himself who started the blame game over the failure of the $700 billion bailout??? What a brainless ooff…

I would add a comment, except the current moderator appears to be another Republican operative censoring my posts, not like yesterday.

John did blame Obama, and Pelosi, and the house Democrats, so it kinda seems he's being a blatant hypocrit in his latest ad.

To which someone could ask; "So what's your point?".

Price for ticket to Vice President debate party at theater — $0

Price for Obama yard sign — $8

Watching Sarah Palin lose every shred of human dignity in front of 80 million people — PRICELESS!

O

"What a week"? 33 more days to Nov. 4th, he aint seen nothing yet!!

I love it… Obama says it shouldn't take a crisis to pull us together at a debate.. a few days later McCain puts it in his commercial and claims it as his own.

McCain discusts me.

Wasn't he the one casting blame on Obama one day then saying the next now isn't the time to cast blame?

Is McCain aware of his surroundings anymore?

I think the obamanations would vote for Satan and try to defend him, "Satans a good guy, but Sarah Palin is evil!". It has been 100% proven beyond any doubt that the democrats (including obama specifically) are to blame for the economic crisis we're in. Obama is good friends with at least 1 terrorist who blew up & killed Americans, a proven fact. He doesn't like when infants survive abortions and and refuses to recognize them as living people & denies their right to live, a proven fact. For two decades he absorbed the teachings of the hateful anti-white, anti-American bigot Rev Wright, a proven fact. He took millions of dollars from corrupt corporations to look the other way while our economy was collapsing (and then blamed the GOP), a PROVEN FACT. This list can go on & on, how can you possibly vote for this person? Besides the fact that his socialist policies will crumble our economy & destroy this nation. Instead of being so hateful & ignorant, please read up on both candidates & at least make an informed vote.

John McCain needs to rely on his own instincts and less of his campaign handlers who like Hillary Clinton's handlers became Helter-Skelter - with knee jerk reactions, giving bad advice.

McCain, I've got 2 things to say to you:

1. Stop copying off Obama's fireside ads.
2. What is wrong with your eye dude?

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

John, why don't you just retire to your state soon as possible, you know you can not handdle it! Remember dear, your health is not in a good state and taking all those meds is just too much as it is. Let the ones with the dinamics do the job, I mean, you do not want to expent the last years of your life getting feisty all day in DC. Be smart alright?

I wonder if McCain thinks no one watches the rest of the news. From that ad, it is clear that he is under the impression that people are only watiching Fox News where they will only show his side of a story.

Obama/Biden 08

And in yet another new despicable lie attack AD from McBush. The GOP backs away from President Bush's Bail Out Bill and in an unbelievable, mind boggleing, totally cowardly and weak,sniveling
act of deceit, they say this Bail Out Bill is from Obama. They have the gall to do this even after all of America watched McBush and his Weasel gimmick of acting like he alone was going to save this Bill and the economy. Now after McBush has a complete failure of leadership and could not even deliver his own Party, they decide this is somehow Obama's Bill to lose. The GOP has sunk lower than snail slime. They have no honor or pride left to lose.

Please no Joe Six Pack

and Suzy ding bat

running this country ..

like bipolars!

Whew! thank you!

We need SUPERIOR leaders w/ tact diplomacy & understanding

not 2 looney pitbulls.

Call it erratic, but he's narrowing the polls as we speak. Obama cannot and will not seal the deal. Just wait until the NRA and all the other PACs weigh in. In 5 weeks, Obama is FINISHED.

McCain will lose thanks to Gerge Bush economics & war

What is going on with McCain's left eye? Has he suffered a minor stroke? That would explain some of his erratic behavior of late.

Oh boy. I think this guy has dementia. "ITS OBAMA'S FAULT!!!… I don't think this is the time for blame."

He used to switch opinions month to month now he is down to day to day. and word to word.

… I wonder if Obama is going to put a full court or half court where the Bowling alley is?

I love you John!

thats right mccain unleash them swiftboats; its laughable what people will do in desperate times.

I think he is starting to get Alzheimer's…

or perhaps he is szichophrenic…

he says one thing and then almost imemdiately afterwards contradicts himself!

He doesn't seem to even know what he is saying…

Hot temper, belligerent, bull headed, over-reactionary, poor judgment, mysogynistic, too risky, and he supported Bush 90% of the time.

No way, no how!

O'8

One week does not a President make!!! If you think this is quite a week wait till you see what everyday brings you for four straight years as a President. You are a good guy, but can't handle this job Mr. Maverick…

Obama/Diden 08′

Laughable.

During the first Presidential debate, I noticed bi-partisanship in action.

1. Obama: “John you were right…”

This shows that Obama is admitting that he does not have all the answers and is willing to listen to all sides of an issue before making a final decision. This is a very good trait to have in a President that wants to represent ALL of America.

The McCain camp actually ran ads ridiculing Obama for his bi-partisanship. McCain would not even acknowledge Obama when Obama was talking directly to him. He appeared bothered and angry that he had to waste his valuable time explaining himself to Obama. McCain’s disdain for Obama was apparent in his demeaning and snide comment stating Obama being so far to the left that it was hard to reach across the aisle in a bi-partisanship manner. McCain came across as a small-minded, petty, angry and bitter old man. Not good traits in anyone, but certainly not in a man vying to be the President of the UNITED States.

2. McCain: “Senator Obama does not understand…”.

It was obvious that the contrary was true, Obama did indeed understand, what McCain obviously meant was that Obama did not understand issues the same way McCain does, which is obviously the ONLY correct way in his mind.

Moral:

McCain claims that as a “maverick” he likes to make quick decisions and then live with the consequence. We are looking to future, and want to see how McCain would interact with Obama, Congress and the citizens, we do not want some old story line where in the past you did this with that Democrat and that with this Democrat. Your current demeanor speaks volumes as to your ability to be “bi-partisan” in the futures.

Question to America:

Do you want to place the future in the hands of a man that makes quick, erratic decisions without research and have the consequences affect the lives of your children?

This ad is not going to help him win over voters. Two weeks ago he said the fundamentals of the economy are strong. That was the very day that AIG went under and Lehman Bros. filed for bankruptcy. Apparently he doesn't read the papers or listen to the news. He is not ready to lead!

Barack Obama skipped 45 percent of Senate votes, but did manage to show up to vote against emergency funding for our troops,” the narrator says in the new 30-second spot from Veterans for Freedom.

“Obama was chairman of the committee overseeing the fight against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan but never held a single hearing. “…Obama found time to make 45 trips to Iowa but only two trips to Iraq."

Say no to Obama This is not change This is Obama on an ego trip Wake up America before it is too late.

John McCain is saying one thing and doing another, playing the worst back stabbing politics since his mentor George Bush whipped him.

If John and Sarah just tried telling the truth and actually said what they really stand for, we might have an honest election!

I just finished reading the comments about the new ad targeting Obama and it is closed to comment. Why are we all getting nasty when this is pokitics as usual.

Am I crazy? When Sen McCain runs an ad asking for the blame game to stop, THAT is considered insulted, but when a 501 group runs an ad people still blame him.

Was he not one of the first voices against the Swiftboaters? Did he not congratulate Sen Obama during the DNC?

When the skin cancer ad last week did Sen Obama denounce it?

Does anyone notice that 527s and 501 are some of the most negative ads in our history and Sen McCain was torn apart by Pres Bush cronies in 2000 this same way?

Frankly, politics has always been nasty. CNN's program "Program Breakers" tells us this is nothing new.

The last time Sarah and McSame wiil know that they did ran for presidency of Unitesd States of America wil be Novemebr 5th, 2008 after all the results are in and found out that they did not really do enough to keep their conservativism alive for the chance to win in next 20 years.
Obam/Biden

MR. MCCAIN YOU NEED TO ATTACK YOURSELF FIRST, AND THEN YOUR NO CLUE TO WHATS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY LET ALONE IN THE WORLD RUNNING MATE, YOU HAD SOME GOOD PEOPLE TO CHOOSE FROM, AND LOOK WHAT YOU GAVE US.

McInsane is at it again. If you repeat lies enough, do they suddenly become true? Inquiring minds want to know?

I'm tired of John and Sarah… I can't wait for November and send them back where they came from!

Republicans blamed Democrats and Sen. Obama Period!

McCain Needs To Go Back To Alaska With Palin And Cool Off!

This country is doomed if McCain is elected.

McCain was just holding the who Rev Wright thing in his back pocket and now that polls are going in Obama's direction he wants to spring this in hopes of causing yet another big distraction. Unfortunately for him the issue is dead, it was already exploited during the primary. If someone choses not to vote for Obama over this, they were not going to vote for him anyway.

McCain - how about something new? Fresh Ideas? Something other than attack ads and smear campaigns…oh thats right, you don't have any fresh ideas, you just want the title of PRESIDENT before you die.

First McCain suspended his campaign, now it looks like he wants to give up. No more repubs this year.

The repubs are going down in a hand basket.

Obama/biden 08/12.

I honestly just change the channel when his add comes on TV. I mean haven't I seen enough? I mean I'm not that ignorant to know what is good for the country.

Just because John McCain lies and twists the truth does not mean we shouldn't vote for him!

The best thing to do in a crises is to blame Democrats and pray that God will solve all our problems.

This is surreal.

What a WEAK ad!

WHere are the fundamentals you and Gidget Walker Bush claim are sound? You can't change midstream you fool!!

McCain tried to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but was shot down by the Democrats!! Fact check that! What did Obama do….call me if you need me. Who's a better leader??

Old dude is confused…thankfully he has Palin to keep him straight…Palin, who can't tell what newspaper or publication she reads and can't name a single Supreme Ct. case she disagrees with other than Roe v. Wade…sorry old dude, you must remain confused with a back up like her. Best to leave the work of running the country to two competent fellows.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!

So McCain denounces McCain's statements? His campaign is nothing more than a joke. Anybody who falls for his lies is just stupid…

Mr McCain seems to be flip-flopping more than the salmon that his running mate catches.

McCain is desperate. Does he not remember his words and actions, economy is fundamentally sound (McCain is out of touch), stop campaign until bailout crisis is solved (McCain failed to do this), will not attend debate until financial crisis is resolved (I'm sure McCain wishes he would have stayed away). McCain campaign manager is lobbyist for Fannie and Fredie. Voters are smarter than McCain thinks and we can see through his gimmicks..

So which McCain showed up today? This ad sounds very reasonable and friendly. But then his other ads are all hostile and negative. But they all tell lies and distort and mislead. McCain is just too impulsive and reckless, and he just does not have the temperment to be a good leader.

His new spot should have started out

What a weak….case I am making for being president.

Keep talking John…you just keep shooting yourself in the foot. All I can think is that the McCain of 2000 would not vote for the McCain of 2008

Is anyone really surprised that the "Troopergate" story came out only after the Republican convention where Sarah Palin was such a hit? It's been obvious that both Democrats and Republicans have run accusatory ads since Obama and McCain became nominees, but this is what is expected and is nothing new. Ads and exposees' aimed at candidates's wives, their children, their places of worship, their ministers — you name it — they're all out there, and how many times have we heard throughout this campaign, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." That sounds so crude, but since both sides choose to throw the dirt, what can we say. All that being said, the ad about Reverent Wright, Rezko, Ayres and Obama is such old news, I don't know why anyone is surprised. It's just so much a part of politics that one can only say, "if you can't stand the heat…" Well you know the rest.

Everybody's understand that this man doesn't get it yet. What a shame, is he stupid or what..

DO YOU HEAR THAT SOUND??

ITS THE SOUND OF A MISGUIDED CAMPAIGN IMPLODING

It looks and sounds an awful lot like what Obama has been saying for months. McCain is borrowing this from Obama.

I certainly hope that people look beyond the ads regardless of their political stripe and look at the candidates themselves and where they plan to take the country.

Experience is important but so is a forward looking vision for a great country. Besides, Obama has experience "on the street" if you will. He has been growing his campaign from the bottom up. He is not perfect but neither is McCain.

McCain has been around for many years and was himself "green" in the political arena. But again I think Obama is capable or being a great president as he is drawing on something greater than himself. I think he has tapped into the American Psyche and a desire of the American people to bring the country back to its former glory.

McCain is a great man and a great senator and I think his best role is to remain a senator.

Obama is needed not only by the US but the world as well.

Look beyond the ads, take the blinders off, honestly look at the candidates, get rid of your prejudices, and tap into something greater than yourself and then form an opinion of who to vote for.

Obama TAP DANCES ON THE GRAVE of the US Economy, and revels in the suffering of the American people…

Must…..Keep….It…..Going….Through….Election…Day…

wel, mccains at it again,, claimin he asked for help on this fanny mae stuff,,lol,, laff laff,, and we didnt hear a thing about it til this bail-out thing came about,, mccain will bring up about anything that ,, he thinks,, will help him wins votes,, people arent that stupid to believe him tho,,,, hes too worried about tellin people about his:military backround",,,,, which does not qualify him to be president,, its just shows he was in the military,, like millions of our sons daughters and fathers and mothers,, etc,,, REMEBER FOLKS YOU WANT SOMEONE WHO CAN DELIEVER and as for this new ad out by reverand?? well mr,, give it up and who paid u to do this ad? its over and done with,, you slander a good man,,, get over yourself OBAMA/BIDEN 08 and beyond

Palin cant name supreme court case. Please Post

This is too funny. Does he really think anyone is going to believe him? Someone else said it, McCain's off his meds…

Um - you blamed Obama for the economic problems we're having. You have lost it, John.

Partisanship, for sure - but blame the republicans.

Neither President Bush nor candidate McCain could keep republican representatives from bolting and undermining the outrageous $700,000,000,000 welfare check being given to failed Wall Street corporate fat cats. So, of course, they blame Democrats for upstaging McCain's victory claim in Ohio.

I suppose McCain will next blame the lacks of WMDs on Democrats, the quagmire war in Iraq on Democrats, and torture and Gitmo on Democrats.

In fact, I'm sure McCain wants to blame deregulation - his pet project for the past 26 years - on the Democrats.

What a bunch of whiney losers.

Mr. Magoo is loosing his marbles.

Better he does it now in plain sight before the election when we still have a chance to vote against this incompetent boob.

What a week? What a wreck!! What whackos!!

I don't know, guys. Rejection of the first bail out bill looked pretty bipartisan to me. I, personally, am looking to these nay-voting representatives as the ones working together in the best interest of average Americans.

NO BAILOUT! Do NOT Reward Greed!

yea…what a week…Watching mccain hop around on his positions and plummet in the polls…it has been the best week in awhile.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008

McCain has, quite simply, flipped his gourd. He's certifiable.

Liberals seem to forget that just the day before the economic meltdown came to light Obama was again calling for his corporate windfall taxes. He immediately had to drop talking about these windfall taxes because his handlers knew tax increases would be lethal to our economy.

Lehrer was trying to bait obama into admitting that he would delay his precious tax increases because of the economic crisis during the debate. Obama did not bite on it and it was obvious he knew what Lehrer was up to.

Bottom line is that McCain predicted fannie freddie meltdown in 2006 and Obama and other liberals voted AGAINST the reform BECAUSE all these people were in their back pockets. No wonder they are working on Obama's campaign after they go their golden parachutes at tax payer's expense now.

Liberals who trash me are ignoring FACTS. Senate meeting minutes, May 25, 2006 - speech and co sponsored bill by John McCain.

NAY vote - Barack Hussein Obama.

Go ahead trash me, trash others, gloss over these details. I voted for Kerry in 2004, I voted for Bush in 2000. Obama scares me and I do NOT want my hard earned money going to fund his socialistic projects. Forget that….

John McCain is a true hero and defender of the USA. I hope he doesn't go down in history with his mean spirited ads against Obama and his mindless defense of Palin. McCain proudly rides the 'Straight Talk Express' - I hope the true American hero in him lets him talk straight about what is best for this beautiful country - and what is best for us right now is not McCain and Palin. Be the hero that we know you are, Mr. McCain - let Obama win the victory that is his and that is best for our country…

OMG…ok, they HAVE to use this in an Obama ad, and then after cutting that part out, throw in one of McCain's sleazy 'blame Obama' ads right after it.

McCain is the most pathetic form of human being to ever walk this earth. What a disgusting, immoral and corrupt weazel this guy is. Hypocrite doesn't even come close to describing this old geezer who has lost all of his marbles.

McCain: The dude that likes to feud
Obama: The man with a plan

The only person is Washington with a worse approval rating than President Bush is Nancy Pelosi at 18% and her do nothing House. If you elect Obama you are electing Pelosi to run the country as she will manage and run Obama —- We need some balance of power and if the Dems control the House and Senate DO NOT give them the White House or this country will go in the tank.

I think Senator McCain's problem is that the Republicans were in charge from 2001-2007 and are being blamed for their roles?

Sorry, Grandpa, better luck next life!

Too late McCain…you pulled a political stunt running back to Washington to help push the bailout package through and it didn't work…
your own party failed you, almost as if they did not want to have any part of your impending loss in Novemeber…
they want to keep their jobs.

The only real bailout in Washington has been your own Republican party bailout on you and your twin Bush.

This is simply shameful. How do you take credit for success, then blame Democrats for failure, and then say no-one should be issuing blame. McCain's campaign confuses me, I know McCain has the good of the country in mind but this shadiness is unnecessary. The only people who can buy this are the extremely biased ones and the uninformed (as in people unaware of his prior blame game).

Obama is a sleazebag. He and Acorn and all of his lefty radical groups are trying to steal an election from Ohio.

This guy is a criminal and should not be elected.

Look at his ties, Ayers (unrepentent terrorist), Rezko (felon), Wright (God D America, KKK of America, to name a few of his beliefs, HIV was spread by the government), Phlaeger (Hillary hater) and Acorn (convicted organization of voter fraud).

God help this country if this sleazebag gets elected. Not only are his tactics questionable his ideology is socialist.

We have to get someone that is a leader that wins elections fairly and has fought for us and that is McCain and Palin.

McCain\Palin and Hillary 2008

Is it me or is the Republican McCain campaign chasing it's tail???

Too late for McWarmonger to redeem himself. He's been nothing but sleeze for months. I won't forget it.

Obama/Biden '08

for every 12 ads with nothing but false attacks, mccain puts out one ad that tries to make up for it. sry. wont work, hero or not.

Long-range planning for National Security and short-range planning for quick and decisive actions..

If you need long-range planning, vote for Obama.

If you need short-range planning, vote for McCain.

I actually want an Obama/McCain ticket. Obama plans for the long range and McCain pushes short-term plans out.
