CNN

The cry of the truly desperate: "I don't know about that birth certificate of Obama's..."

Stupid. It has been examined over & over. There is absolutely no doubt that he was born in the U.S.

So please, shut up & grow up. You have to face the fact that your opinion about Sen. Obama is the minority opinion. Most people in this country do not agree with you or McCain. Most people do not think Palin is qualified. Most people do want Sen. Obama to be the next president.

Respect our country, honor our laws and consitution. Comments like yours that question Obama's citizenship, patriotism, etc. make you and similar others appear very unpatriotic and like 5 year old brats that are sore losers.

Real problems take grown up coversations and solutions.

KYT… get over it. Everybody, do the Philip J Berg google search if you want, but it's just another attempt to claim that Obama isn't an American by birth. That claim's been totally debunked already, numerous times. Serious issue, my eye.
------------------------------
Where? where was this debunked? Please show me. Why are they blocking the lawsuite? Why not just prove it, they questioned McCain and he proved it.
Just like the health issue, McCain gave a TON of records. Obama gave a one page statement from his doctor, Obama was a looong time smoker and cancer runs in his family, why have we not seen any proof on anything regarding Obama? Whya re you all letting him get away with it?

In response to "Knowthetruth": All of the allegations by this man are unfounded. His birth certificate is posted on is website. This man is a lunatic and I am sure this was checked out when he was vetted to run for president. On the other hand everything negative in the media about Sarah Palin is true...Seccessionist Movement(check out the Youtube video with her welcoming them and google it) and her unethical abuse of power in Alaska. She is one a few steps away from becoming president. That is the scariest thing about this whole election to me! Reformer and Role Model...not for my children!

Enjoyed the McCain SMACKDOWN last night by Obama...

Go Obama/Biden

Another MAIN reason John McCain CANNOT be president: He actually said he is proud of Sarah Palin and he said it with a straight face.

He's an angry old man out of touch with reality. I also suspect he's an outright liar on everything.

Lorraine Hynes

Senator Obama. I am NOT President Bush.

I am the new President Bush 2.0

Obama/Biden 08!

BK – Haven't you noticed the horrible spelling, grammar, and syntax a lot of the McCain supporters use in their posts? I'm surprised they can use computers.

No candidate will ever be perfect, but how anyone could vote for an angry, sick old man who has chosen a slick politician with no other useful talents as a running-mate is beyond me. We deserve the best, so voting along party lines is foolish in this election.

Not only does John McCain mimic Bush's policies – he's got that same smug, arrogant, demeaning attitude towards anyone who disagrees with him.

John McCain has sold his soul to win this election – and his radical Republican base are the only voters excited about what he's offering.

Palin – go back to Alaska and explain yourself to those constituents. They seem to be turning on you.

McCain – go back to the Senate and explain to your colleagues that you simply lost your mind to your blind ambition...

The Bob Barr debate last night with the two candidates was excellent. It's too bad that they weren't responding to him as he was to them.

I think Bob Barr won. Check it out online.

Know the truth October 16th, 2008 9:39 am ET

Every voter… no matter who you are supporting should google:
Philip J. Berg esq and Obama.

You need to read about his lawsuit and how Obama and the DNC are trying to hide it from you. This is not an anti-Obama post, this is a serious issue. This is a pro USA post.
--------------------------------

Will you PLEASE stop wasteing time, energy and brain cells with this crap?
This has been disproven over and over again. This has gone past disgusting and has gotten down right old.

I also think that John McCain's VP pick should be looked at as an example of the people he could possibly have surrounding him in his cabinet.

Oh yeah. Did anyone mention he was a POW?

McCain looked very tired and his presentation was that of sarcasim i feel at moments. Again the attacks i found to be negative as id polls.

The new add is good when looking at comparison to voting with bush. In refrence to running negative adds, i think McCain camp has ran the most negative. Sure he rebutes what his camps says or runs or what other people may say publicaly about Obama, however he doesn't until his folks takes advantage of it first. many examples out there.

Virginians for Obama/Biden

Rolling your eyes and sighing isn't presidential but smirking is. I can't wait until Obama is sitting across from Putin, smirking. That will go over great. Very presidential.

I'm so glad I'm not a conservative. McCain is just too old. I will be so proud when young, fresh, President Obama represents the USA.

I saw the ad this morning and it's great. Uses McCain's words against him. Brilliant.

All McCain has going for him is his race. That's the only reason the few people who do vote for him, will vote for him because anyone in their right mind (no pun intended) would see Obama is the better choice by far.

Obama is calm and collected. McCain always looks erratic and confused.

Obama/Biden '08 and '12

Mr.mcsame,

You are not bush but your policy is same with bush 100 % , no change, more same .......that's why We call you bush....

MCBUSH , MCBUSH , MCBUSH, MCBUSH, MCBUSH, MCBUSH, MCBUSH, MCBUSH, MCBUSH, MCBUSH,MCBUSH, MCBUSH, MCBUSH, ........................................... ( MCBUSH ) bye bye the game is over !!!!!!

Tony: Grow up. CNN has never touted the scoring of their 6 member panels after the debates, but they allow Republicans like Castellanos, who scored Obama higher in the first 2 debates, to blabber about how McCain really won them. That's just the way it works and deserves eye-rolling, not accusations of bias.

It's really pathetic that the Republicans are latching onto errant claims of bias. The facts aren't biased just because they don't support your position. This has been the Republican party's problem for well over 8 years now: if the facts aren't supporting their position they either ignore them, pretend they don't exist, claim bias or fabricate new ones (or some combination of the above). We're just plain sick of it...you'd think the FACT that McCain is losing horribly right now would clue you in to that.

McCain is trying to get you all to see the truth about Obama. Other than McCain the only news outlets talking about the truth are Rush, FOX News, and Hannity. The Main Stream Media is well-aware of the Afro-centric Marxist underpinnings of the Obama candidacy. But they love it, and will continue to push their agenda. I urge everyone to get into the Blogs on the ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and CBS websites and SHOUT IT OUT! Make as much noise as you can...and pray like hell...

Funny how mindless liberals think that body language is all of the sudden a big deal during a debate. Back in 2000 it didn't seem to matter all that much.

Also funny that mindless liberals AND the main stream media are neglecting to mention Obama's body language when he disagreed with McCain and how he'd constantly interrupt him. VERY presidential indeed. I'd have more respect for liberals in this country if they weren't such hypocrites, or if they had at least some substances to their beliefs.

Mike in IL wrote: "Last night reminded me of when Hilary Clinton made Obama look like a fool during the DNC Primary… We can only pray that the people respond to McCain like they did to her!!!"

I don't know if you know this or not, but Mike, Obama is about to be in the White House, Clinton is watching from the sidelines now. Evidently she didn't make him look like that big of a fool. If you want to say something idiotic again, just repeat everything John McCain says. I'm not even going to get started on Palin. Enough said period.

Actually, its quite clear that Obama is actually more like Pres Bush than McCain would be. Obama's answer to everything is spend more, spend more, spend more, while McCain wants to reform. I think it's clear that McCain is ready to change the country, while Senator Government's idea of "change" is spend, spend, spend, oh, and spread the wealth to the 40% of Americans who pay no taxes anyway. Not right.

I thought mccain did great adn he won the debate but no matter how good he is CNN will never post it!!
Biased.

McCain has never been like Bush. He's always bucked his own party. But people are gullible and believe anything that comes out of Obama's mouth. Its sickening. (and YES, I'm a Democrat. I'm just not a gullible Democrat). I see it this way....people want to believe that things will get better. So here comes Mr. Obama...he spews the words "hope" and "change" and everyone falls for it because they WANT to believe in it so badly. Obama is nothing more than a mascot. A hope mascot. Sure, he's inspiring when he speaks, but look at his record....inspiration is all he's got! And newsflash folks...inspiration doesn't fix the economy, inspiration doesn't create jobs, inspiration doesn't end wars, inspiration doesn't fix health care.

Are we really going to vote in the most inexperienced, unqualified candidate to ever be put on a major party ticket, during a time of war and recession???????????????? I mean really folks??? What are you thinking?

Obama, I am waiting so eagerly to see those big companies to bring back the jobs in the USA.Politics is so nasty.Yes,Obama said we need to fund many areas but look at the tax breaks he is going to take away from those rich and famous.That is the money he is going to use to fund our education.Like the 10 million to Iraq!!!!!!! Hello!!!! Wake up America!!! Look beyond the norm.

Both my parents were democrats. Both were lifetime civil servants of the US government. I grew up on a dead end street. worked my way through college. I did not take a vacation for ten years. I worked 18 hour days and saturdays for over 20 years. At the age of 53 I am very successfully financially and still at work at 6:15 am daily.

The top 25% of wage earners pay 85% of ALL taxes in the united states. the top 1% of wage earners, which is my category, (finally after being in business 30 years), pay nearly 40% of all taxes in this country. i might add this top 25% also are the most benevolent contributors to our society.

Obama wants to raise my taxes upwards of 50%. he has put no limit yet on how high he will raise payroll taxes…let me tell u my fellow americans, if I am working for the government 6 months out of the year…iIwill not work. i will fish and play golf. and the 20 plus employees that work for me will join the growing list of unemployed.

I have numerous individuals approach me on a weekly basis asking for “loans.” 99% of the time their problems are self induced. they are not working, not showing up for work, living in a house they cannot afford, driving a vehicle they cannot afford, watching cable tv with all the add ons, 3-4 cell phones in the household. give me a break america. you tax this business man…any more…and i, like many many of my cohorts…will sit on the sideline..and releash employees. You think the economy is bad now. raise the taxes again. and see.

McCain voted with Bush over 90% of the time.

John McCain = GW Bush

Last Friday Sarah Palin was found guilty of ~Abuse Of Power~ as Govenor of Alaska, along with her husband, Todd.

Sarah Palin = Dick Cheney

The picture is crystal clear.

Another MAIN reason why John McCain CANNOT

The media needs to stop being negative with McCain & realize Obama wants to make our beautiful country a socialist nation. Obama is good at covering up the facts & would not be a good leader for us. Who will be on his cabinet, Wright, Ayers please get smart.

Every voter… no matter who you are supporting should google:
Philip J. Berg esq and Obama.

You need to read about his lawsuit and how Obama and the DNC are trying to hide it from you. This is not an anti-Obama post, this is a serious issue. This is a pro USA post.
=======================================================

I wish people would address the issues in the blog. That's all.

Wraps up the debate in a nutshell.

Why are we concerned w/ CNN having a liberal bias, Fox News is as conservative as you can get, I don't care...we're balanced.

Some of McCain's expressions were scary and painful to watch. He at times seemed to ramble, seemingly wanting to touch on all his talking points. He didn't change many hearts and minds with last nights performance.

Ok, Googled it. Not a anti Obama post? The first three returns were from Obamacrimes.com. No, not "anti-Obama" at all!
From Fact check.org-

FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.

Know you "know the truth".

McCain's body language is not something he has much control over. His injuries cause him to look like he is stiff all the time. For you to even think body language matters is stupid. What about Obama's smirks and laughing when nothing funny was said? Does that not tell you that he thinks everyone else is dumb and he is the only one with a brain? McCain didn't say one thing last night that wasn't worth hearing. It was all relevant. Just not to Obama, the god. I can't wait to hear his 30 minute sermon on the mount!

Attention Republicans – if you want to rebuild your brand, it's time to stop blaming the media, poor people, pollsters, elites and anyone else you can think of for the fact that the McCain/Palin ticket stinks. You'll never get anywhere by crying. Dump the neocons and Dobson, go back to your roots and come up with a good candidate for 2012.

Time for CNN to get off the McShame bus! Why is it that CNN will let you play the McShame ad's but you only get a picture of the Obama ones, at best?

Now, 95 percent of the people in America will receive more money under my plan because they will receive not only their present benefits, which may be taxed, which will be taxed, but then you add $5,000 onto it, except for those people who have the gold-plated Cadillac insurance policies that have to do with cosmetic surgery and transplants and all of those kinds of things. John McCain, 15 Oct. 2008.

Three years ago I received a liver transplants through the grace of God, a donor who gave me the gift of life, support from my family and friends, and the medical profession dedicated to saving lives. This is the ultimate insult to all organ recipients, deceased donors, and those who have offered to be organ donors. If he meant to say "implants" would this eliminate Cindy McPlastic??? Either way, he should apologize to America for this statement or for his senility in not being able to say what he means or BOTH!!!!.

Was McCain on crack or what?

He looked like he was about to go postal and tell off
anyone within earshot.

Very creepy!!!!

Stick a fork in him....he's done....

Enjoyed the smackdown last night!

Go Obama/Biden

McCain wants to be President too badly, and for the wrong reasons it seems.
It is too much about him, everything out of his mouth is "I", "me".
I don't get why he is putting himself through this, but he caved to the GOP and Bush after 2000. He thought that was what he needed to do to win.
The reasons McCain will never be President is because he is not very smart and is too emotional.

@Know the truth

Your post looks more like spam than anything else.

OBAMA/BIDEN

Know the truth...how about posting the truth.

Truth...Obama was born in Hawaii a state in the USA.
Truth...At the time Kenya was a British colony and his father was therefore a British citizen.
Truth...Obama has never renounced his American Citizenship and has never pledge an oath of allegiance to Kenya.
Truth...Obama's Kenyan citizenship ended in the 1980's.

If this was a truly pro USA post...it would stop trying to disqualify a candidate that has proven themselves time and again, endured horrible accusations and name calling, and has risen to the challenge time and again.

It's time to REALLY put your country first...and not big Oil or corporations.

McCain is a hott head which is obvious given last night's debate. Although, he did better in this last debate then in the previous two,McCain also showed that he in an angry attack dog. No wonder why so many people at his rallies are filled with anger and hate. Look at their canidate. McCain gives out those vibes and that is exactly what he attracts to his rallies. And that is very scary. Does anyone remember the line "Well if senator Obama had done like I asked him to, we wouldn't see many negitive ads"...... What???? OK McCain so now your trying to bully someone if doing what you want them to do??? No one has mention the statement above or reflected on it and I believe it was a highly(one of many) disrespectful statements coming from McCain's mouth. And McCain don't expect an apology from Obama for another person exercising his right of freedom of speech by stating an opinion. If you want an apology, you speak with the person who made the comment. Obama is not his representative.

Obama was born in Hawaii, that should end the whole need that these people require him to show his birth certificate. Last time I checked, Hawaii is a part of this country and if you are born in this country then you are a citizen of this country. This whole birth certificate issue smacks of desperation. People are trying to find any reason not to vote for this man and its pretty pathetic.

This ad represents the genius of the Obama campaign. I love this guy.

He takes what was McCain's only shining moment and uses it against him. This is not "negative," folks. This is smarts! It will only reinforce in people's minds, that McCain = Bush. Reverse psychology!

It is very obvious that McSame hates Obama and the WHOLE WORLD SAW IT AND SEE IT. What's up with that

McCain's body language at last night's debate was very telling. The rolling of his eyes, grunting and the forced smiles made for a very frightening picture. I wonder if he could keep a calm head during a crisis. Very scary

When people show you who they are, believe them. In last night's debate, Sen. McCain showed us that he is a bitter, angry, sarcastic old man. We can ill afford that kind of man leading our nation. Country first. Vote Obama.

Welcome to Obama's United Socialist States of America....

Gahahaha, McCain's faces in the debate last night were hilarious. He looked like and SNL player doing an over-the-top impression of himself. All Obama really needs to do is run an ad showing all those silly faces and the race will be over. Never has a candidate looked so completely unpresidential in a debate.

HA HA HA HA HA... Loved the SMACKDOWN by Obama last night..

Go Obama/Biden

Mc Cain could have won the election if he had chosen a person to shore up his claim of being the most experienced in the race, decisions like selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate, sure sinks his campaign,

TO BK:

This is NOT an internet rumor or chain letter this is a very serious issue. I am not some kid sitting in his Mom's basement I am a professional adult with a family and children of my own. This is a very very serious issue.

Senator McCain, you can run from Bush, but you can't hide from the facts. You have given George Bush a blank check on all major issues during the past 8 years, with an exception of a few. As a result of these policies we are in a deep hole in every sense. You are trying to separate yourself from this President and your party and saying that you can bring change to Washington. With due respect Sir, you ARE part of the problem and we need a new kind of leader to take us in a new direction. We can't afford 4 more years of the same.

I GET IT, OBAMA:

Wealth distribution = wealth dries up = no more wealth to
distribute =

WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN SOUP KITCHEN!!

No soup kitchen for my family - NO OBAMA!

Time for Grumpy (McCain) and Dopey (Palin) to take the rest of the Bush intellectual dwarfs and go home.

Of course, McCain is not Bush. No body disputes that. Bush is a different person physically. We select a president not for the person but for his leadership and policies. If McCain wanted to be different in that aspect he would not have sided with Bush 90% of the time. If he truely wanted to different direction for the country, he would have confronted Bush to fight for a new direction. Instead, he went alone with partlines except for few instance. That is not true leadership. Now he talks about different direction because he want to be in the white house.

McCain TheTruth Hurts huh..

McCain said he wasn't George Bush; well, if he wasn't supportive of George Bush's policies, why did he vote with Bush 90% of the time.

Come on…..now that it is inconvenient to be linked to Bush, he says he is against him??? If that is the case, why did he keep palling around with him even after Bush used swiftboat style attacks on him during the 2000 election. Remember his Black love child... Hey John stop swaying which ever way will be most beneficial to John McCain.

Let's try to remember that what go's around comes around.

If you partonize me ( the american people one more time, I might get as angry as you are until I have to take your deep breaths.

To "Mike in IL". DUDE...GROW UP AND STOP WHINING ABOUT THE PAST LOSER! Did your wife leave you? I despise idiots like you that have no other reason to cry except for, "Obama took my cookie"! You're one of those rednecks that simply were not going to vote for an African American ANYWAY!

I am sick of Obama saying the same thing over and over again like a broken record!"The $10 billion a month spent in Iraq...that could be spent on health care"...Health care will cost ALOT more than $10 billion a month.He will not rest until we lose the war then say "See I told you so,I told you so!"...If you really support our troops give them what they need to win the war!No more defense cuts as Clinton was infamous for among other things.
And news flash Obama...McCain is not Bush

I am one of the few Obama supporters in SD but after watching the way the candidates handled themselves last night, I was only more inclined to support Obama. McCain time and time again rolled his eyes or interupted Obama. Did you see Barack do that? Of course not. He knows how to handle himself in the public eye unlike McCain. McCain is a pathetic excuse for a republican, a human and an American. He and caribou barbie might as well throw in the towel.

Obama/Biden '08 & '12

McCain-Feingold
McCain-Kennedy
McCain-Lieberman

Very similar to President Bush's positions? I think not. McCain and Bush have also been at odds (as reported by the press, including CNN) during the past 7 years. Strange how that footage hasn't appeared recently...

Once again smooth talker Obama mustered his finest acting skills to appear presidential, and once again their was no real substance in his attempt to outline a real platform. This is due to the fact that his only "message" is clearly to get elected. He will most likely be the "victor" on November 11th which will undoubtedly create extreme liberal mania in Washington. I just hope that America is not the "victim" when the tax and spend train takes to the rails.

Obama, should have said, You are right you are not Pres.Bush you are his replica or clone. McCain thanks for fighting for our country but there is no way you can understand anyone's pain when you can afford to pay 7 house hold bills easily until you don't keep up with what you own.

First rule of sales in business and politics. Ask for the order. Ask for the vote. Obama asked specifically for my vote in closing last night. McCain did not.

Obama gets my vote.

Someone out there is wasting our precious time again by posting:
Philip J. Berg esq and Obama.

Do NOT waste your time on this nonsense. These issues have been discussed and debated. No, the FBI background check would never have allowed any candidate to get this far and close to the Presidency. Spend your time on another topic.

But here is the real catch: you are being asked to CONTRIBUTE your hard-earned dollars to file a legal brief on the matter. Where will your money go? Well, do not come back screaming and .... You are being fooled again, and again and you never wake up!

Obama wouldn't say anything about Palin's qualifications because she has more than him as far as executive.

Your right John McSame, you’re not president Bush, you’re the guy that lost to Governor Bush in the GOP 2000 primary. Sorry, the man you have become is not the man I supported in the 2000 primary. You have become a poor copy of incompetent president and you want the decent hard work Americans to drink GOP Cool-Aid, like you did. Sorry but the more fact checking I do the more it becomes clear you are a desperate man running a despite campaign.

Good debate for Sen McCain but he looked upset about something. I know he mad when everytime he looked at Sen Obama he was smile at him I could see the Steam from his head.Nothing new on both parts same old stuff again glad it 's over. Go Obama/Biden

"Senator Obama, I am not President Bush"

Ya, Got that Right, John! You're possibly worse!

Know the truth? Everyone should Rolling Stone's article on McCain called "Make Believe Maverick".

The angry, eye rolling, "thanks for asking you little jerk"..... That's the REAL John McCain...AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

Read the article and you'll know why John is SO DESPERATE he'll do or say anything to get elected.

COUNTRY FIRST? What a joke. This man has always put his ambition ahead of his country...

I"ve lost ALL respect for you John McCain.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

During the debate, I was most struck by the glaring absence of McCains Lapel Pin ? According to some reporters I've watched on Fox, not wearing a lapel pin indicates a lack of patriotism. Does McCains missing lapel pin mean he is unpatriotic ... or just less patriotic than Obama ?

I have been waiting for the infamous Phillip Berg case; frankly as I watch my 401 k dwindle to nothing while McCain has numerous homes and ridiculous number of automobiles sits on TV in what is to be the most important election ever rolling his eyes and showing such
obvious childish behaviour; it doesnt surprise me that, in all of what we as a country are experiencing now ;that Phillip Bergs case should be the very next thing to be placed of my agenda.

Pro US post!!!!!!
Get a dictionary and look up Pro.

Well I guess even McLame can get one thing right. It's just a pity this was the only one. There must have been a moment of clarity in his confused mind. He might not be Bush but he is Bush's sidekick– Little John.

If you were to look up the word "Angry" in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of McCain right next to the meaning. LOL..Priceless.

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, two years after it became a state. Interestingly, John McCain was born on a U.S. military base in Panama, so if anyone would be ineligible to run (though neither of them are), it would be him.

This garbage spread by "Know the truth" and others on the internet is exactly why we have to fight every single baseless smear with truth. Their attempts are not "pro-USA"; in fact, they are the exact opposite, slanderous lies that attempt to discredit an American patriot and drag the entire country down.

There are stark difference in the two personas...as we've witnessed in the debates and on the trail...and my overall impression is that Obama is more inclusive of ALL Americans, not just a select few.

Philip J. Berg esq and Obama.

Do NOT waste your time on this nonsense. These issues have been discussed and debated. No, the FBI background check would never have allowed any candidate to get this far and close to the Presidency. Spend your time on another topic.

But here is the real catch: you are being asked to CONTRIBUTE your hard-earned dollars to file a legal brief on the matter. Where will your money go? Well, do not come back screaming and .... You are being fooled again, and again and you never wake up!

No you are not Bush but; two small minded people who think alike 90% of the time.War,oil,greed. Turn in your ticket McCain cheating on a landslide is not an option... Give me a break!!!

Sen. Obama voted 96% of the time with the Reid-Pelosi Congress.

I saw this ad early this morning, and it was a very good, effective ad. We are gonna turn NC blue this year!!

OBAMA/BIDEN

Does Obama get a "do over" in 4 years when nothing has been fixed and he begs you to give him more time? I say if a president can't get anything done in the first 4 years he doesn't deserve a second chance. The first 4 years should be the most productive. If it doesn't happen then, folks, it ain't going to.

"I'm beginning to think McCain's core supporters are only supporting him because they are outright stupid."

Not true BK, most G.O.P. are just die hard loyalist. They don't care about the candidate as much as they do an ideology. You could put a ham sandwich up on stage and they'd vote for him as long as he was wearing that Repub elephant.

The ad, Katie, is anything but weak. This ad uses McCain' strongest argument during last night debate to put him in defensive, and it diluting the strength of McCain's argument to the voters: he is not George Bush but he acts like him in many ways. We don't want the next four years to be 90% like the last eight.

The white haired dude, has a temper. A few times he look like he was gonna blow a fuse...Not the type of person I want near the nuke button...That One in O8!

All is fair in politics... I had an oppotunity to view the ad this morning and I thought it was both clever and strategic. The facts were sufficiently stated and who can deny that the multiple facial expressions and gestures of McCain? It fit together as a hand in glove. It's the same game the republicans have been playing all these years, this time it was a different player. They would take a positive of their opponent and spin it into a negative in order to make their case. Obama has proved that you don't have to be nasty in order to be effective. Take note! Way to go!!!!

So, I looked up the Phillip Berg lawsuit and I can only say I'm disappointed how much time the Republican Party has spent on attempting to portray Senator Obama as a foreigner. First, Senator Obama is a US CITIZEN! Secondly, for the Republican Party to attempt to cast a negative light on those who have immigrated to our country is shameful. It is the same type of nationalist/isolationist sentiment that led to the persecution of the Irish, Italian, Arabs, and many other ethnic/religious groups who have come to our shores. I believe their actions are deplorable and individuals who propogate their hate through chain emails/weblinks should be held accountable.

John McCain – Just an ANGRIER version of George (the most WORTHLESS president in history) Bush!!!

McCain's facial expressions showed his anger, frustration, disgust and dislike of Obama. He also lied when he said Obama's ads were more negative than his. Her is the one who started the more negative ads and of course, Obama had to respond.

He might as well give up and realize that his choice of Palin was the first mistake he made. She is just not qualified to step up to the plate if something (God forbid) were to happen to him. The only thing she did was to rally the base. The second mistake he made was when he lost his cool, suspended his campaign and ran off to Washington and achieved absolutely nothing and the third thing is the negative campaign he has run. Independents do not like this and I think and hope that Obama will win this election

OH WE KNOW YOU ARE NOT BUSH. YOU ARE MCSAME. DIFFERENT FACE SAME OLD POLICIES. SO OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW. NOT TALKING ABOUT AGE. IM TALKING ABOUT IDEAS. SO SENATOR MCSAME LETS SAY OUR GOOD BYES NOW. TO YOU AND CARIBOU BARBIE. NOW THAT THE ACORN AND AYERS THINGS HAVE BEEN LAID TO REST WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ABOUT NOW.

Why does McCain move like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz? No wonder he needs to drill baby drill.

C3PO has more flexibility than McCain.

McSame looked erratic as usual. Saying that you are not Bush is one thing, but marching in lock-step with every detrimental policy that Bush has produced, is another. He did nothing but looked like a tired politician with no new ideas.

In the days leading up to this debate, McCain was baited by Obama and Biden into his approach during the debate. It was very smart for the Obama campaign and a lack of vision for the McCain Campaign. McCain came off looking angry, frustrated, and ranting. Someone in his campaign should have told him that there would be a spilt screen and to keep his gestures in check. They also should have tested the position of his lapel mike because it picked up every sound he made while Senator Obama spoke and it was very noticeable and irritating. Between the Grunting, sighing, eye rolling, scary stares he looked kind of crazy at times and about to blow his top the next. Saturday Night Live will have a field day with this debate.

Link, please?

We know you are not Bush. This is what we mean...see the ad....we mean your policies are like Bush's.

I would just call McCain, Bush Jr. from now on.

The deal is sold! Now go out and vote!!!

John McCain's flower is fading, while Barack Obama is beginning to bloom. McCain seems disgruntled and out of touch with the average American; Obama inspires hope.

I thought that, during the debate, McCain appeared very unpresidential, even childish at times. We don't need a president who rolls his eyes when he disagrees with something a person says.

You mean like Biden

After all that angry ranting and railing McCrypt did last night I know he must have soiled his Depends!

Now if he would stop that death rattle chuckle, that is starting to really creep me out!

I think it says it all. No he is not Bush....but he sure acts like him!!!

CNN, Leslie Sanchez, Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Candy Crowley you better get ready to report on the next president of the United States. I know you wanted McCain especially by all the headlines favoring McCain, but Senator Obama will be the next president of the United States. No thanks to your unfair reporting.

mccain would be worse than bush, so he's right.

Philip J. Berg esq and Obama.

Do NOT waste your time on this nonsense. These issues have been discussed and debated. No, the FBI background check would never have allowed any candidate to get this far and close to the Presidency. Spend your time on another topic.

But here is the real catch: you are being asked to CONTRIBUTE your hard-earned dollars to file a legal brief on the matter. Where will your money go? Well, do not come back screaming and .... You are being fooled again, and again and you never wake up!

Saying McCain is somehow Bush shows the obsurdity and ignorance of Hussien Obama, who's career and life is pillared by confirmed terrorists and racists, and his blind sheep who will follow him to certain poverty and medocrity on the world stage.

THis isn't American Idol, you socialist idiots, this is American and Obama's actions as an American are repulsive. John McCain is the only man for the job.

Very smart ! Take his 'best' line and turn it against him!

The Obama campaign is just in a higher league than any other campaign. A new standard !

No matter how hard McCain tries he comes off as having a temper and a very angry man. He didn't behave as much of a thug as he did in the first debate, but no one wants a person with his temperment dealing with our friends and enemies on a international basis. That requires calm and a thinking mans demeanor, not a hot head which is the feeling one gets watching McCain as he rolled his eyes, sighed, and instead of showing respect he oozed distain and a inability to deal in an open friendly manner. McCain should finish his term in the Senate and go happily or crabbily into retirement.

A poster who calls himself "Know the truth" says we should all google "Philip J. Berg esq and Obama" to read about "a serious issue" that "Obama and the DNC are trying to hide."

Well, l did google it.

And I found the same discredited claim that Obama is ineligible to be POTUS because he was not born in the USA that we have been seeing for months. (It apparently doesn't matter to Mr. "Know the truth" that factcheck.org has verified the authenticity of Obama's Hawaii birth certificate.) Nut-job Philip Berg also claims the US government was behind 911.

Give me a break!

who wants a president that rolls his eyes when others are talking, laughs while others are talking, or cant even keep his mouth shut and refrain from interjecting while others are talking? NO – ONE! If so we would have picked a teenager off the street to be our president.

i have lost any and all respect for john mccain

McCain didn't answer any questions. When he was asked specific questions, he attacked Obama on a completely unrelated subject. When Obama answered a question, McCain's rebuttal was an attack on a different subject. John McCain, Sarah Palin and their backers cannot give one solitary reason to vote for them, thus, they will continue to tell us why we shouldn't vote for Obama. "THAT" is the truth.

We truly cannot afford to take the 10% chance on McCain's brand of change....for the evidence points in another direction. I don't know about you, but that "trickle-down thingy" has not worked so well in my personal economy.

I'm glad election season is almost over. I'm tired of republicans trying to scare me away from voting for Obama using irrelevant information and I'm tired of democrats comparing McCain to Bush. As an independent, none of this matters to me. It's the economy, victims of natural disasters that we ignore, the war my son is fighting, the lack of care for veterans, the abuse of power by the current administration, etc., that really matters. Not this.

I really hope everyone gets out there and votes. Early voting is open in my state. I'm going today and then tuning out for the rest of the season.

kicked his "you know what..."

Poll numbers Higher?

I didn't appreciate McCain's attitude. He does not carry himself like a president.

His catch phrase should be " I Liiike Monay "

I think Obama hit the nail on the head when he said he would not mind paying a little more in taxes for the greater good of the country in the long term. I have said before that I would not mind either.

I am a white mid 30's female ... I make more than the average 30something female but still less than my Male peers that I have to work harder and longer to prove myself equal to. I don't appreciate McCain's dismissive position towards women's rights of any kind.

It's not a partisan thing... It's just a matter of common sense.

McCain is not Bush but he certainly acts the same way. Enough is enough.

If the American people want a president who looks uncomfortable dealing with people and speaking about issues, then McCain is your guy. Obama, is respectable at all times and knows how to get his point across wthout appearing aggitated and angry. Obama gives clear answers. Obama 08!!

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

It's unfortunate that the one independent news networks has been overrun by liberal bias. The CNN analysis scoring the debate showed a win for McCain, yet CNN and their website are reporting the results of non-scientific polls instead. It's a real disgrace, their integrity is pretty much shot as far as I'm concerned.

BTW, I'd put this in the appropriate article, but CNN's Ticker moderators like to censor the blogs and shut off comments early.

It seems that McCain's cronies have been waiting for him to use that line. Now that he did, he's opened himself up, again.

I hope the "Joe the Plumbers" out there don't fall for the McCain BS. McCain is always talking "Country First", well then why don't you ask "Joe" to be country first too, after all he will be making over $250K/year which is 4x what I make for putting country first, and Joe's complaining?

John McCain was so unprofessional...rolling his eyes, smirky looks....NOT Presidential material! The world leaders do not act like this...a spolied child!!! This was as bad as Palin's winking!!!!!

McCain looked like he had a mess in his pants during the whole debate. I have never seen someone look so uncomfortable.

Three reasons for McCain not to be president:
1. Health care – That was McCain's Exhibit A – that he is out of touch. I can tell from experience, a person with pre-existing conditions, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get coverage for any amount, let alone for $5000 per family. What planet is he on?
2. His body language during debate when he does not like something. If he can't carry on a civil debate with a fellow colleague and an American, how is he going to deal with world leaders? McCain should not be anywhere near a button that lights up weapons.
3. Last, but not least, his VP pick.

I wonder many times, how many of those uninsured or unemployed/uninsured people are Republicans? How many stayed Republicans, after a period, when things got tougher and their government did not come to their aid?

McCain came off as just plain angry. I guess he still figures he is OWED the White House. ;-(

welcome to the age of instant response.

Good move for Obama to take what may have been McCain's best "set piece" and debunk it straight away.

McCain's been all over the map these past few weeks, and I will only get worried if he is able to focus on something for longer than a news cycle.
Barack was tepid last night, but apparently 'won' in many people's eyes. I personally thought McCain did really well, but then again I am a junkie. Political junkie, not the other kind . . .

BO08

Personally, I'd want someone who behaved like McCain did last night to stay on his own side of the aisle.

Funny how Obama doesn't even need to cross...PEOPLE CROSS TO HIM.

it's a diservice to Bush to be compared to McBlinky, Bush is not nearly as mean and angry as McPalin. Bad judgement, bad temper, bad character, inferior intellect, arrogant under achiever who would substitute gimmicks and gut calls for real policy and diplomacy. And then there's Palin... 'nuff said!

Good one! The Obama campaign was more than ready for McCain's debate antics....all of which will come back to bite him in the rear end.
This campaign is not sleeping and will not sit by and allow a repeat of the 2000 and 2004 elections!

"Know the Truth", I know about Phil Berg. His "firm" is his residence in Lafayette Hill. (That's just outside Philadelphia.) I'm also in the defense counsel circle...Berg is seen a nutcase and the court is not happy with this baseless suit clogging up it's already overloaded civil docket. It's likely to get dismissed via a defense summary judgment motion. Thus far, there are no issues of fact for a jury to decide...just baseless and unsubstantiated allegations.

Gee if obama thinks he can "qualify" to be president even my cat could be vice president don't you think.

Well, can you imagine Putin sitting across from McCain, and McCain offering up one of those wide-eyed expressions after some "serious" discussion? Can you say Poker Face? Not only was Senator McCain angry, bitter, confused and wrong (on so many points), he clearly looked like the less presidential candidate. Scolding Senator Obama about Free Trade, is hardly the way to have a discussion. My way or the highway is not the leadership that Americans need at this crucial time.
Near the end of the debate, McCain changed the subject so many times it was difficult to know what points he wanted to get across. In sales, they call that spraying and praying, you just hope that your customer finds something to resonate with. It is not very effective and it is used by sales people that are unable to build a relationship with their customers. They don't last very long in the sales game.

I was completely confused when McCain refered to "Joe the plumber" as RICH. Where was that coming from? Obama had completely defended his tax plan for small businesses and McCain had nowhere to go. To bring up the subject again, in this fashion, was desperation at its finest.

Read Fact-Check on ACORN, figure this out people. If there truly was something unworthy of Obama there, it would have been played out more that it has been. There's nothing in it.

We just had our federal election, and met another minority government. Good thing, as the Conservative / Republican policies can not run unchecked for another term. Not the result I hoped for, but I am still crossing my fingers for an Obama/Biden result in the US of A.
Canada so closely follows your economic path, and we need change too!

Mccain was not born in the united states of america

I really thought McCain was going to explode last night. Disappointed he didn't.

"Senator Obama, I am not President Bush."–but you walked in Bush's shadow–instead of casting your own.

If you didn't see a split screen of both candidates you really missed out on the faces McCain was making while Obama was talking. Something is wrong with McCain and he can't control it. I'm with those 2,700 plus doctors that are requesting all of McCain's medical records be released for review.

JOHN KERRY WON ALL HIS DEBATES TOO!

I just read in alink that Joe Wurzelbacher is related to Charles Keating of the infamous Keating 5 scandal. Hilarious.

Mike in IL;

Go get a beer, we prefer informative blogging here.

McCain can't honestly argure that he is that much different than Bush because they're in the same party. That means at the core, you share the same ideas !!!!! HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO.. No one agrees on everything, but politics reveals when you are an R or a D or an I, you think like other R's, D's, or I's

Know the truth-
That suit is complete garbage. Obama has produced his birth certificate from the state of Hawaii. Case closed. No one is trying to hide it, its just stupid.

Katie,
What part was weak and lame? The part where John McCain himself proudly proclaims that he's voted with Bush over 90% of the time - even more than most members of the Republican party? That part??

This will now be used as fodder similar to Nixon proudly proclaiming "I am not a crook!!" We all know how well that turned out, too.
Between the facial contortions and slack jawed expression during the "zero" fine segment of the debate, it was just priceless.

The McCain Palin ticket continues to deliver major hits on the unintentional comedy scale - you just can't make this stuff up if you try.
This weekend I'm going to see the beautiful fall foliage in the great northwest...not Oregon nor Washington but in New Hampshire!!! Who knew? Palin can see Manchester from her house in Wasilla, too.

Know the truth-

It's either you're dump or stupid. It may even be that you are so hateful, you can't see the truth if it's starring you in the face. Obama is a citizen of this country. It has been verified by every fact checking organization. Come to think of it, it's your candidate's birth place that's in question. McCain was born outside the United States. He was born in the Virgin Islands. So, be careful what you ask for because you may actually get it but not the way you might have imagined.

McCain will do anything, say anything, to get elected, just like Bush did in 2004.

And like Bush, my gut tells me that McCain will stick to the status quo, as he did 90% of the time siding with Bush, and accomplish nothing.

His promise of a balanced budget in 4 years is ridiculous. How will he pay for the war in Iraq, the bailout, health insurance, buy up every bad mortgage, off shore drilling, etc., all while cutting taxes and making the Bush tax cuts permanent? IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

I don't believe one word that comes out of his mouth.

With due respect, Senator McCain try and convince your over ambitious power abuser running mate, Palin to join you and vote for Obama/Bidden ticket. This will secure your wealth for your children, instead of mismanaging the entire economy the same way your brother McBush did. Remember, your wife is rich.

McCain came out swing and KOd NObama

pro usa post?....ha ha ha.....dude give it up, obama deserves to win the election.....the american people deserve smart people in the white house

Boy, Obama sure did whine a lot about negative ads, just to throw this one out right after the debate. It's a weak argument any way you look at it. The American people aren't stupid.

McCain's eyerolling is just like Bush's too. Give the dems the keys!

Did not we have BUSH,FRIEST and TOM DELAY and look what happens to our economy
We need OBAMA, REID and PALOSI now to bring back Bill Clinton's economy.

um, is 81% not 90%, again Obama is telling a lie, just like when he said he doesn't always vote with his party, yet he has a RECORD of voting 100% of the time with his party...atleast those times he showed up to vote. I'm sorry Obama but a vote of present doesn't count as standing up to your party...it makes you a coward.

KYT... get over it. Everybody, do the Philip J Berg google search if you want, but it's just another attempt to claim that Obama isn't an American by birth. That claim's been totally debunked already, numerous times. Serious issue, my eye.

Know the Truth – you're trying to spread another rumor that has been debunked. That law student wants his 15 minutes of fame. Nice try.

Obama/Biden '08

If anyone watching last nights debate was objective they would see that McCain was better. Obama made no sense at many points and his policies were exposed as "holy" [as in they have holes in them if you missed the joke]. I must admit i was leaning away from McCain before the debate, but now i'm set. I wish i could have been McCain last night, I think he held back too much, he shouldn't have just rolled his eyes, he should have ripped Obama apart with some of those economic comments Obama made. If you want another Great Depression, vote Obama. I say, let's avoid Socialism, keep a balance of power in Washington. Keep America a Capitalist country.

CNN – why have you posted comments that were written after mine but not posted mine yet? Oh, that's right. I keep forgetting. You post comments that are favorable to one candidate. It must be my old age. I am, after all, 50 now. Pretty soon I won't be able to function like so many of those that think McCain is old. I bet you post this comment!

I saw this ad and it really is effective in putting the flame out on McCains big moment.
He really thinks he's better than us.

In all honesty, McCane even sounds like Bush on occasion...so though he is not G. Dubya...he has certainly been in lock step with Bush's policies ~ and we don't have to look that far to see where the last 8 yrs of impotence have gotten us.

Is it asking to much to have intelligence in the White House? No, really ~ that's a very serious question?

OK people, just get out there and vote. I will be voting for McCain as I am really terified of what Obama might do to this county. We all know the press favors Obama. Will the press ever give us the true facts without pretty much just telling all of us to vote for Obama? I think not!!

And for the Berg lawsuit, it is bogus. His mom is American, it doesn't matter where his father is from or even where he is born. I mean if you really want to go there McCain was born in the Phillipines.

I love this ad, it hits McCain where it hurts.

The future of much or all of the world is in the hands of the electorate in the U.S. not just the future of Americans.

It is very scary that the polls show 40% of the voters will still vote for John McCain in this election despite a host of reasons why he just simply isn't their best choice.

When you compare the stature, the intellectual level, the temperment and the policies of the two candidates Senator McCain comes in a distant 2nd behind Senator Obama. Then when you add to this the VP selections of each candidate there is every reason for the world to be concerned about Senator McCain's choice of Sara Palin. She is very very scary.

Hopefully in the final analysis of November's election America's voters will make a choice for the benefit of their lives and their country's future without the influence of party affilitation and religious convictions.

If America votes for the welfare of both themselves and their country then the Republican Party will be forced to change their platform to better serve everyone's interests.

Genius response.

Where was Sarah Palin? Still hiding from the media????

McStupid made a fool out of himself – AGAIN. It's a pattern and how anyone can seriously vote for this guy and his barbie doll is simply beyond comprehension. His facial expressions last night told the whole story. His head looked ready to explode. LOL

The voters also need to know about Palin's ties to the Seccessionist Movement in Alaska and her unethical abuse of power. Google that!

You are a joke if you support Mccain. Anyone who has a sense of reason or did not drop out of highschool is smart enough to know that.

Know the truth< so what's your point? who cares? I think Barack Obama has been fully vetted by every news organizations even some that "don't like him very much" so again what is your point? He is on top, he will stay on top and stupid posts like yours..well again who cares.

Obama was very impressive, while McCain just whinned about his hurt feelings, and he never seems sincere!

McCain's like a beat up fighter just about to hit the canvas and is lloking for the corner to throw in the towel and they are not...

You were doing great until when you decided to get Mavericky and nominate Ms Palin for your running mate...

Please fade away...

Rolling your eyes and sighing during a presidential debate.. that just doesn't seem very presidential. Obama is lucky to have an opponent he doesn't have to make things up about.
And to "Know the Truth": Sorry, we don't buy into internet email chain letters like you do. For crying out loud, when will you people learn that "I heard it on the Internet" doesn't make it fact. I'm beginning to think McCain's core supporters are only supporting him because they are outright stupid.

What's really sad is that before Bush, McCain wasn't a conservative. Now his positions are a carbon-copy.

I thought Senator Obama did well and I look forward to him becoming President. I think he will go down in history as one of the best

McCain looked drugged last night.

"I'm not Bush" is a very short term tactic that is successfull but in a few days and in the coming weeks, folks will say... you're just the same as Bush... your own "records" do enforce that... (90%!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(It's just like a salesman that does get in your home to watch TV, ultimately the guy will try to sell you something, you cannot hide what you are!!!)

Obama should have come back immediately with 'How can you possibly say you're not Bush when you have voted with him 90% of the time'. Also, '4 years ago I wasn't as ready as I am now to run this race'. I think he missed the opportunity but I also think he was the overall winner. 3 for 3. Go Obama!

McCain's body language last night identified precisely how he was feeling. Even though he was smiling in Obama's face his expression exhibited otherwise.

Now who is running a negative campaign???

Last night reminded me of when Hilary Clinton made Obama look like a fool during the DNC Primary... We can only pray that the people respond to McCain like they did to her!!!

I thought that, during the debate, McCain appeared very unpresidential, even childish at times. We don't need a president who rolls his eyes when he disagrees with something a person says.

It is time for us to have a president who displays leadership qualities and is respectful of other people.

Know the truth October 16th, 2008 9:39 am ET

Every voter… no matter who you are supporting should google:
Philip J. Berg esq and Obama.

You need to read about his lawsuit and how Obama and the DNC are trying to hide it from you. This is not an anti-Obama post, this is a serious issue. This is a pro USA post.
=======================================================

Don't wast your time, it's just another non-story. Obama is a US citizen, born in Hawaii (yes, Hawaii is a state too), and raised in different parts of the world, including Kansas and Indonesia. I take more issue with McCain, who was not born in the US, and should not be allowed to run based on that fact.

That is how you stop any momentum from building – hit them where they think they succeeded.

The McCain camp did this with Obama's superior intelligence by claiming he was an elitist.

Very effective and very memorable.

AM I THE ONLY ONE? Who heard John McCain twice refer to Sarah Palin as an "expert" and "no one knows better" about autism? Is he really that unfamiliar with his own running mate, or does he just not know the difference between autism and Down Syndrome? What a buffoon!!

It's time to spread the wealth.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...wellsir, you got yourself a duck.

Speaking of ducks, when is Palin going to quit avoiding the press and respond to questions about the report on her abuse of power? (If it quacks like a Cheney...)

Of course no one thinks John McCain is Bush. I believe what Obama has said is that McCain's policies would be the same as 4 more years of Bush's. I don't think anyone can argue any different.

OBAMA WINS AMERICA LOSES. No wonder the markets show no confidence in the USA now . Obama is going to pull the troops from Iraq losing oil from OPEC . Then he wants to open the FREE TRADE AGREEMENT . Well, he wont get a warm reception here in Canada , from our minority goverment who would love to start selling our oil to the highest bidder.

Katie;

Not everything is a home run.

ONE NATION

It is strange that people are not talking about the Berg case. The proof is there that Obama has not presented an unquestioned birth certificate.

Who cares if he's an Arab, muslim, or any thing else, but we should know if he is American.

Hello America,

Lets Go and Vote For Barack Obama.

McSame is the Clone of President Bush.

McShame is done !!

Hmm. Where was McCain's American flag lapel pin??

You can run but you can't hide, McCain. Call off the dog(s) and run your campaign with honor as you said you would.

McWhatever trying to be tough, but looks funny, attempting to be presidential, but looks funny, needs Sarra Palin (??) to energize anybody (Madonna definitely would work better for him, but she doesn't want). It's funny for us, it also will be funny for the rest of the world.
Angry old uncle Sam who cannot scare anybody.

Finally, only one choice left for American people.

JOHN McCAIN YOU ARE GEORGE BUSH!!

JOHN McCAIN YOU ARE GEORGE BUSH!!

JOHN McCAIN YOU ARE GEORGE BUSH!!

JOHN McCAIN YOU ARE GEORGE BUSH!!

JOHN McCAIN YOU ARE GEORGE BUSH!!

JOHN McCAIN YOU ARE GEORGE BUSH!!

Smart voters KNOW McCain/Palin or just like Bush/Cheney.... OR WORSE..... I am very, very, glad I voted for Obama 2 weeks ago.

Good ad. McCain was very unpresidential and showed his true colors last night. He has a temper that he has a hard time keeping under control and it showed. Even many of his Republican co-workers have come out with concerns about McCain's temper.

Why don't you link video of the ad?

Know the truth;

Save your conspiracy theories dude. Every politician is dirty. For every grit you can find on Obama you'll find the same for McCain. If grit was a problem, then we'd never have a President.

ONE NATION

I am voting Obama, but at this point I kinda of feel sorry for McCain. He lost his way, I think he would have had a better chance if he stuck to his guns. He is swayed to easily by his party and his campaign people. I hope he and Cindy go back to Arizona and have a good merlot, and settle in for the golden years.

Why did McCain say (more than once) that Palin had an "inside" with Autism? The last I heard her son has Down Syndrome, not Autism. Is he grouping all special needs children together. Let's not forget that Palin cut funding for Special Needs children in Alaska.

You know what neither one of them have it right! We hear talk about the problems with our economy, from Wall street to Main Street. How many of you actually live or shop on Wall Street or Main Street. It's not about Wall Street or Main Street! It's about Back Street where "WeThe People" , really live and work . Again both are out of touch. Nobody has it right. I'm done with this. I'm out of here and the election!

The efficiency of Obama campaign is just amazing.

know the truth,
There is a similar kind of lawsuit against McKlan. Check it yourself.

You also need to read about his lawsuit and how McKlan and the RNC are trying to hide it from you. This is not an anti-McKlan post, this is a serious issue. This is a pro USA post.

McCain: You are done. I think last night he was trying to go out with a bang. Palin might be deluded but McCain knows he is finished.

OBAMA -BIDEN 2008 / 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain will lose because he thinks exciting his base will win the election. That worked for Bush but not this time. That again is a policy that's Bush's and McCain refuses to change. No wonder he stopped using the change word in his campaign because that was a losing battle.

America witnessed the temperment of the cool-headed and steady-handed Obama, versus the angry, bitter, crotchety old man who whistles every word and can't even pronounce 'Warshington' my friends.

If you act like Bush, work like Bush and smell like Bush then you are the same as Bush. Perhaps calling Senator Clinton before the last debate for ideas was McCains reason for saying he is not Bush. It's not too late for McCain to reach accross the isle and go Democrat!

Can't wait to see the ad. Seems like "he had ants in his pants and wanted to dance"

Philip J Berg's lawsuit is frivolous and without basis. Another GOP scare/stall tactic. It won't work.

If Joe the Plumber doesn't want his more than a quarter a million taxed, how does he feel about McCains plan to buy up all those thousands of foreclosed homes and have health insurance taxed? There's no way to know which mortgage is a bad mortgage and which ones were intentional. I can not afford my own home and don't feel like buying other peoples homes for them.

For some reason, McCain actually makes Bush look good.

I know ....jez the eye rolling was creepy!

take a good look at the picture, it speaks ALOUD..

Oh good one. I love how quickly they got this one out. I have to try to see it somewhere. But I would have liked Obama to have thrown a few more punches. But I guess he just wanted McCain to appear rattled as he did. But clearly there were several issues that Obama could have made a stronger point by citing a few more examples and crushing McCain's stance or lack there of. I wish he could have said what all the American people are thinking, NO Palin is not qualified. But his own answer was much more dignify, fitting of our next president. Go Obama. And lets make sure everyone get out to vote no matter how the map has your state going. Get out and vote.

Can't deny that statement you did vote with BUSH 90% of the time by your own words! also back in the primary your mother said you voted with bush most all of the time.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Anyone watching the debate and seeing the split screen could see McCain's uncomfortable posture and erratic movements along with his lack of patience and sneer expressions. I don't know if it's exhaustion, a medical ailment, or his own normal habits that caused him to jitter and glare so unnaturally, but the net result didn't inspire any confidence for him.

Seriously, McCain and Palin seem to be okay people. They're the type of people that I could see having as a neighbor. Have BBQ's and beers. HOWEVER, I do not want my neighbor as my leader. I want a President that can speak grammatically correctly, who can look their opponent in the eyes and say I disagree, who does not roll their eyes when someone else is speaking. These are the types of qualities that have greatly damaged America's reputation in the world. I WANT CHANGE!!!! Who's with me?????
McCain should have run eight years ago, it is not the fault of the American people, but rather the Republican party for putting the wrong man on the ticket (8 years ago)

Obama/Biden '08, '12

blah blah

McBama will be the downfall of us all. Both are taxing and spending at a phenomenal rate...it's not a point of who will take us down, it's just a matter of how fast.

Go to the National Taxpayer Union website to see what the candidate's programs will cost us... They are just lying about it not raising taxes on you...their programs will cost you more one way or another.

Sounds like this ad just helps McCain. That was his highlights moment and the rolling his eyes/sighing was just showing his disbelief about the garbage Obama was spewing.

By the way, I thought it was McCain that had 100% negative ads *lol*... Obama going negative. Politics as usual.

LAME

McCain has defied Bush.

When has Obama defied Pelosi?

ONCE AGAIN OBAMA ATTACKS JOHN MCCAIN

HYPOCRITE AS ALWAYS. TOOK HIGH ROAD LAST NIGHT, SLIME THIS MORNING.

OBAMA IS GOING TO LOSE BIG IN NOVEMBER!

BAM.

Quick effective response. These guys are good.

McCain is an angry old man.

RUN THIS AD 24/7 FOR THE NEXT 2.5 WEEKS!!!

McCain looked MAD in the debate! I thought he was going to start foaming at the mouth.

Looked like somebody swapped his Preperation-H for Icy-Hot.

McCain needs to go to the proctologist to get his brain examined.

McCain was nothing but arrogant and rude through all three debates. When McCain was speaking, Obama watched and listened to him. When Obama was speaking, McCain would be looking anywhere but at Obama, making faces, gesturing to the audience . . .

Newsflash, McCain - having been a POW doesn't mean we owe you the Presidency.

McPain, must have thought of himself as an old Reagan!

This country and it's current crisis, does not need a one-liner! We NEED ACTION, and apparently, McPain needs more than one life-line!

Notice, how he avoided answereing the question of the qualifications of his VP pick, just heard the same old, same old, BUT, he did add "A TOUGH HUSBAND OF PALIN" WHO GIVES A CRAP about him??

Good. I'm glad that Obama's campaign do not allow these things – these misleading statements by McCain to just slide.

I feel like 90% of the statements he made last night are false, misleading and really distorting facts. This could be an hour long commercial if each one will be tackled and scrutinized against facts.

Good job Obama camp.

Give it up John!..You are President Bush...just older and crabbier!!!!!!

That was so fuuny last night when McCain was trying to put Obama on the spot and ask him how much he would fine small businesses or "Joe the Plummer" if he did not provide health coverage to his employees. He was really trying to be a smart allic like he did in the previous debate when he kept saying "I still haven't heard what the fine will be". He kept trying to interupt Obama in the las debate before he could answer that question. Well when he got his answer from Obama last night which was "0" as he put it McCain looked so stupid. Almost shocked. Under Obama's Plan small businesses with be exempt McCain and will actually recieve a credit. Why don't you try reading you might find some of the answers to your questions instead of being rude and laughing while Obama's talking. America's not laughing so why do you think everything is funny. Well actually the look on your face last night was priceless.

LOVE IT!

obama, you are the man for the job. forget mccain. stay on isssue.

Good for them. Keep it rolling. John McCain proved last night that he is not a good choice for America. To think a person who thinks they are qualified to be President of the US would sit there rolling their eyes and making snide faces rather than focusing on the issues.
And another thing, McCain, you know what you can do with the air quotes.

Obama/Biden 08

Right on! Gobama!

Can't wait to see the ads. Watching John Mccain try to explain his tax & health care policies was painful. It was clear that he has no understanding of his policy. His platforms are full of one liners.

I just saw this ad this morning - it was really lame. I can't figure out why Obama would put out such a weak ad.

Every voter… no matter who you are supporting should google:
Philip J. Berg esq and Obama.

You need to read about his lawsuit and how Obama and the DNC are trying to hide it from you. This is not an anti-Obama post, this is a serious issue. This is a pro USA post.

Hahahaha....This is THE moment of the campaign.

McCain showed how confused and little he new. It was clear contrast to Obama, who was calm, intelligent and poised.

Obama seemed to know and understand McCain's policies better than McCain! LOL

Obama08 – Is there even a question anymore?

Brilliant. Obama is turning McCain's scripted zinger nuclear.

mccain was hilarious last night. all he was doing was the same as the last campaigns by bush. he wanted to try and scare you into voting for him. the scare tactics will not work this election, and the republicans need another brand, this one is stale.

LOL 2 funny. Doesn't Joe the Plumber look like a skinhead?

ONE NATION

Only in my nightmares does John McCain make it to the White House. His clear contempt for Obama or anyone else that stands in his way of power and glory is disgusting. The tongue snapping, grunting, heavy sighs and rolling of his eyes reminds me of a spoiled rotten teenager with no respect for anyone.

On the other hand, you have Barack Obama who is always calm, collected and intelligent in his responses to what real Americans care about. He has been spot on with the issues and continues to hammer away in his fight for the average American. I will be so proud when he becomes the next POTUS.

They've been waiting patiently for McCain to fall right into this trap since the beginning of the general election. If McCain's campaign hadn't taken so long to think of a proper response to say, this commercial would have been out there weeks ago. Yet another example of how Obama's campaign is much more organized and how it is prepared to handle most, if not all, potential outcomes with a quick and efficient response.

Why is no one touting Obama's campaign as one of the best ever in the history of modern presidential politics? He's made virtually all the right moves for the better part of the last two years.

Senator Obama: Congrats on the hat trick. Great ad!

McCain may not be President Bush, but his economic policies are similar. They seem to be geared toward making Cindy richer. If that is appealing to you, vote for John McCain. It's as simple as that.

Haven't seen the commercial, but i think its a good tactic for the next few weeks, show that he 'thinks' hes not, even though he really is. Maybe paint him as worse, since he did lose a primary to Bush

Also, i hope they have a strategy for this Joe the plumer thing. It will be Mccains new platform.

You're no wonder boy either, Obama!

Watchign the debates last night made me want to sigh a bit like McCain. I realized how very difficult it would be to have to court McCAin and Palin's energy for the next four years.

THey come across too toxic for me. Their energy is simply too divisive.

I don't care how many times they flash smiles, or wink or give me the thumbs up. THere is something about this campaign of theirs that leaves me very, very concerned.

Obama Biden 08!

What a sad geezer. He should just give up.

McCain can run, but he can't hide from the fact that he has been one of Bush's enablers and accomplices, helping him to drive us all into the ditch.

Obama was strong and clear. McCain came off as an angry old man.

Obama will be the better leader in these troubled times.

The man comes across as if the Presidency was his God-given right, and that this punk (they call Obama) is trying to steal it away.

Just imagine if after all the erratic behavior that we have witnessed over the last few months and he still gets elected, and suddenly he becomes the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD… just imagine!

Obama/Biden

Great ad! Beat McCain before he tries to spin the "not Bush" statement. Even the polls on Fox News said Obama won this debate. 4-0 Obama/Biden. I love it! The smell of victory.

McCain started to fade about 30 minutes in. If he doesn't have the stamina to make it through a 90 minute debate how, pray tell, does he think he can run this country. I'm amazed that he's been able to keep up on the campaign trail even given the fact that he typically takes weekends off.

McShame Phalin ticket is very scary. They are only popular w/the same voters who elected Bush Chaney to two terms. I resent that & I pray they will fail this year.
OBAMA BINDEN Please

You're no Bush? Here we go again-another lie.

McCain sure left it too late to try to convince us his not McBush.
He voted 90% off the time for Bush's disastrous Economic, Domestic and Foreign Policies. You might as well be G. Bush.

CHANGE is coming to America I can feel it in my beer belly gut.

You did a great job President Obama!! McBush was finally exposed for who he really is. I never thought he was Bush, because I think his IQ is a couple points higher than Bush's, but he is a carbon copy of Bush!!

Obama/Biden '08

McShame Phalin ticket is very scary. They are only popular w/the same voters who elected Bush Chaney to two terms. I recent that & I pray they will fail this year.
OBAMA BINDEN Please

McCain, it is clear you are not Bush. But you ACT JUST LIKE HIM. Bush is YOUNGER and does not have the temper you seem to have trouble controleing so you are worse than BUSH

His facial expressions as well as his stance and lack ofrespect for womens rights were his undoing.

Go get 'em Obama! The end of the regime is near

Good. Keep on being on the offensive.
McSame will not be President.
