Have question ,,,thersa rumor going around that Obama is not a natural born ctizen of the United States that true ....Kina was born in .
You gotta Love him.. he's the baby..
Barack & Joe 2008-2016, 20016-2020 Joe & Hillary
IT SHOULD BE 29! ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION PEOPLE? McCAIN VOTED NO ON LAST 8 DISABILITIES ACTS AND PALIN JUST ANNOUNCED MORE MONEY FOR AUTISTIC KIDS..... HMM PALIN JUST CLOWNED RESEARCH WITH FRUITFLIES,......AND THAT IS THE LEADING RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING AUTISTIC CHILD TREATMENT... HMMM SENIOR McCAIN ADVISORS ARE ADMITTING PALIN IS "DOING HER OWN THING".... WAKE UP! BARBIE IS OUT OF CONTROL!!!! SEND THESE LYING CLOWNS HOME!!!
No wonder Mccain is foaming at the mouth. Despite is 'love' for being an underdog, I think McCain is angry that he is not ahead in the polls.
Thanks to all you folks who pitched in to pay my delinquent taxes. I am going to run for congress as the uneducated idiot who dosnt like paying taxes.
If obama wins I will go on every left wing site I can find, starting with CNN everyday, and rub it in your face everytime he screws up which will probably be daily. When Biden's prediction comes true and we get attacked by terrorists again, it's going to be on your heads
Obama has conducted his campaign from day one with honor and integrity. He's going to be one of our best presidents ever!
You guys are SOOOOO afraid of Sarah!!!!!!! TOOOOO Funny!!!!
go to newsbusters.org for the correct tally on the poll count .
C,N,N, IS VERY SLANTED TOWARD THE DEMS. AND OBAMA
This is great news for Obama, but it ain't over 'til it's over. Obama shouldn't be scheduling the confetti/balloon drop yet. It will be a long few days. Anything can happen, and the McCain/Palin team have proven themselves try ANYTHING. Palin is now making more veiled statements that property and profits under Obama's plan will be "shared". This is a backhanded way of calling him a communist (socialists don't share property, per se). Of course, it's also probably that Palin doesn't know the difference between communism and socialism, even though she can see a communist country, when someone points it out to her on a globe.
One JOE told us Obama can't handle the economy....
JOE the VP told us Obama can't handle the world
You guys are SOOOOO afraid of Sarah!!!!!!! TOOOOO Funny!!!!
We are the underdogs, thats just where we want them haha!!
Make some more noise McCain and Palin.
Obama / Biden 08
Don't belive the CNN polls. Why would anyone believe a media conglomerate that has done everything but rig the voter machines in Obama's favor since day one? Las Vegas has the winning money on McCain and so should everyone else.
Everybody, just FORGET about the polls, and GO OUT AND VOTE!!!! I don't care who you support, but your voice must be heard. That is the only way this election will be determined democratically.
A BUNCH OF DRUNKEN REDNECKS JUST BEAT ME UP AND CARVED "McMOOSEBURGER" INTO MY BUTTCHEEKS BECAUSE I WAS WEARING OBAMA '08 JOCKEY SHORTS!!!!
Yea, right.
And people should believe this bogus polls
Sarah Palin and Ashley Tood are running for president in 2012.
go stupids
It will really be interesting to see if the cable stations, who lost a large percentage of viewers because of political bias, will get them back once the election is over. Having experienced 12 presidential elections, this the first one ever seen to be so biased toward the Democratic ticket. Even Fox News, who usually has a definite leaning toward conservative candidates, became more tolerant toward one party and candidate over the other. One of the most noticeable occurrences where the written media was concerned is that they always had biased lead stories with biased headlines in stories dealing with Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. A perfect example of this is today's story headline, "Palin 'going rogue'...." And probably the most consistent user of such negative statements has been Jack Cafferty in his question of the day. He really worked Hillary over! I always thought the media was supposed to be fair with a 50/50 treatment of the candidates. Have I been wrong! Anyway, the day following November 4 is one that is eagerly awaited. Then everybody can take a deep breath and start criticizing the winner!
Since Palin has her own agenda, can we split McCain's numbers with her?
There is a GOD after all!
mcsame bye bye !!!!! lipstick bye bye !!!!!
Maybe if these polls covered other candidates too, we'd be seeing less showing up as "undecided." The 1 or 2 polls I saw that included others showed Libertarian Bob Barr @ 2-3% and tired old Nader @ 1-2%. If pollsters are only giving people 3 options (Obama, McCain, not sure), that implies that people can ONLY be for one or the other. They should AT LEAST have choices of Obama, McCain, OTHER, or Not Sure.
it´s not over until it´s over! Please let go to vote! ...change this country! and make this world a better place for our kids.
Impressive lead... but it doesn't mean we can sit back on election day and relax... that's probably what "our friends" McCain-Palin would like to see... WE NEED TO VOTE, EVERY VOTE COUNTS! My entire family is republican and we are all voting for CHANGE!
Obama/Biden 2008 – 2012
no more bush !! no more mccain !! no way, no how, no mccain, no palin ............
It will be a miracle of biblical proportions if Obama wins.
This would mean the U.S. is truly hurting and McBush is totally
unacceptable. There is no question that if Obama were 100% white he would be ahead by 45 points.
Maybe there is hope after all.
You got to go to drudgereport.com and check out a real newsperson asking REAL questions of Biden. Now Obama has refused to let Biden's wife or anyone in his campaign be questioned by this station. Boy he's for real change uh? I guess you will be punished if he gets elected if you have any views of your own. God help us.
It is very important for every supporter of Barack Obama to remember to vote. The polls look good, but they don't do any good if you don't get out their and cast your ballot. Please do not be complacent, this election is far too important to our future and our childrens' futures.
Now, in regard to a previous comment board: Someone wrote: "MSNBC had reported about this group and how it is linked to the McCain Campaign. 2 Campaign officials from CA and AZ are part of this as well. It is called Young Progressive Majority…."
Correction: The Young Progressive Majority is reputable and has not been accused of any wrong doing. The Young Political Majors group is the organization that has seen recent arrests of their executives and employees due to fraudulently registering people in California as Republicans. This group was hired by the RNC and committed registration fraud.
Mcbush lost his chance to make a case to lead. That is why God has made Barack the next president of America...
Mr Obama deserves to win this election,it's God time and nobody could change it
Nice. I don't trust polls, though. Especially ones that claim to not have a sampling error.
This is great news. I so need to have Obama and his possitive message win this important election in this dire time of history. McCain has been so negative divisive that we would endure four more years, just like the last eight years that we have endured already.
Please good people of this country, vote for Barrack Obama.
This Is Good News! Im Sure Obama Will Lead Until The End! Lets All Get Out And Vote For Obama!
Landslide a coming!!! 'Take THAT to the banks!
The polls don't matter, your vote does. Lets turn the page on the last 8 years. Vote for change, vote for Obama/Biden. Yes we can!
Let's keep up the good work!
Obama/Biden '08
I have a question:
I see more and more posts everyday about Obama not being elgible to run for president because he supposedly is not a U.S. citizen because he was born in Kenya not Hawaii. Aside from the fact that Factcheck.org and other independant agencies have stated his Hawaiin birth certifiate is legit- wouldn't he still be a U.S. citizen, even if born outside of U.S. territory, since his mother was a U.S. citizen?
I know that if you are born on U.S. soil, whether your parents are citizens or not, you are considered a U.S. citizen. So wouldn't it make sense that the child of a U.S. citizen born in another country while their mother is vacationing would still be a citizen since their parents are?
Some one please clarify if you could. I think its a dead issue anyways since I believe he WAS born in Hawaii, but if my logic is correct then it wouldnt matter anyways.
Winner = Obama , Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
Loser = American way of life.
Gullible idiots = American people. Change can also be a mistake.
When you lose your job and have less money after these three clowns ruin the American way of free markets, don't come crying to me.
Government can't doe anythign well, let alone run our economy.
Goodbye American Dream, hello red tape, high taxes and bigger government. If this is change, then you can take it to Moscow.
McCain Palin and Hillary supporters 2008
GREAT – THIS COUNTRY NEEDS A CHANGE FROM THE RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN PARTY. IT'S BEEN ALL FOR THE CORPORATIONS, RICH AND NOTHING FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON.
LETS MOVE THIS COUNTRY IN A NEW DIRECTION. WE THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE ON NOV 4TH. NO MORE LIES AND SMEAR CAMPAGIN BY MCCAIN AND PALIN. NO MORE RIGHT WINGED SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
VOTE OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS 08 FOR A QUICK FIX TO THIS COUNTRY!!
I know we should not get cocky cause anything can happen. But no matter what McCain has thrown it has not stuck and it is unlikely that it will but we will all see come November 4.
GET OUT AND VOTE AMERICA!
GET OUT AND VOTE AMERICA!

Got to keep up the momentum. We cant relax. Obama keep fighting the good fight!
His advantage should be more than 9 points, with McSame lying with every breath, and Palin going bonkers, Obama should be up 20+ points.
Keep riding those rising poll numbers into the White House: President Obama!
Magnifique! But let us not forget to seal the deal by going voting, no matter how high the poll numbers are in Obama's favour! Please....I beg you American Citizens do not make the same mistake that you did in 2000 & 2004 by electing McSame. The world has suffered enough by this irresponsible choice. The world is counting on YOU!
What college did Sarah Palin attend and what is her major. I believe the undecided voters are waitting for Obama to address gun control, and state clearley his position on abortion.
FInally America has realized who to vote for. We have finally broken the 50 point barrier
If John McCain would focus on the issues, this race would be a lot different!!!!
If the Democrats actully go out and vote Obama will win by 5 to 10%...YOU CAN BET ON IT...
The potentIal of Gov. Palin in the White House scares the Hell out of most of us..SERIOUSLY!!!
@Sneaky pete
look at Wikipedia's page on Natural-born citizen.
Natural-born citizen is the wording the constitution uses.
Obama is for sure a Natural-born citizen, since he was born in a US state.
McCain on the other hand.... there is a debate whether he is or not a Natural-born citizen. Both of his parents were US citizens of course but he was not born in a US state but rather on a US base in the Panama Canal Zone. According to the law McCain is a US citizen but whether he is a Natural-born citizen is not very clear, though because McCain is a republican, no one attacks him over this issue because it is just a matter of wording and is just in the need of some legal clarifying.
re: sneaky pete, why this isn't an issue is very simple. If it was even remotely true, you know palin would've said it by now.
Polls mean nothing.
Get out and VOTE....vote Democratic across the board.
The polls where you vote count not all this other stuff from everywhere else!!! PLEASE VOTE NOW!!!
Obama/Biden '08
Yes, Sneaky Pete, you are indeed correct. But, you must realize that most rednecks in this country (the "real" patriots...lol) woundn't know the difference between a fact and a cowpie. If this was the late1400's, these would be the same people who beleive that the world was flat.
Let them be, they aren't worth anyone's time. They're McCain's base.
And they will lose.
GO OBAMA!!
Hey, sneaky pete!
Obama WAS born in Hawaii. His FATHER was from Kenya and was studying at the university in Hawaii, which is where he met Obama's mom. There's plenty of proof. Amazing that there are still so many blatant lies out there, isn't it?
And, though it doesn't have anything to do with Obama, if a child is born in another country to a U.S. citizen – either mother or father – the child IS a U.S. citizen. And, in some cases, can have dual citizenship.
It's becoming a blowout...winner American people...losers hate mongers and the bigots that are still living in the 19th Century!
The "rogue" Palin is funnier and scarier than the "controlled" Palin. I believe the polls will continue to increase for Obama as voters get to know more about this exaggerator, liar and fear monger.
There is no truth left of her claims to be against the bridge to nowhere, the pipeline that is far from being a done deal (the Canadians especially have not had their say and it is THEIR country it will run through) and her claim of being against earmarks and accepting favours of 150 000 dollars for clothing and money for family members for trips.
GO Obama!!!! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND STAY STRONG TO THE FINISH!!!!!!!
Barack Obama! The claim Jumper! Who has done nothing to serve the USA... Yet wants to lead the Country....
Tired of polls already and even more tired of the social terrorist John McCain walking around scaring people with lies and smears!
People go out and vote for Obama! Can't take more of McCain and Palin on my TV spewing venom...
McCain PLEASE GO POSITIVE -YOU CAN EASILY WIN !!!!
STOP TALKING ABOUT OBAMA--TALK ABOUT YOU !!!
TELL US WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO–WHY–HOW–WHEN
YOU WILL WIN-GO POSITIVE
Good news, but we can't count on a win too early! There is still over a week left. We need everyone to get out and vote! I voted early and I voted Obama!
sneaky pete– you are correct in your "reasoning". But do not expect a Republican to have this level of intellectual capacity. Think only abortion, and you will be okay!
And how has it been going lately, Brian?
Business takes advantage of American workers and American taxpayers to fatten themselves up. I would not worry about us becoming more like Russia, I would worry about us becoming more like Mexico.
to brian for buisness.... maybe we can actually make some progress in the house and senate !!!!!!! NO MORE GRIDLOCK !!!!!! we all have to pay taxes brian , i have a retirement of 27,000.00 a year, i pay 2735.00 a year in taxes, but im willing to take a chance on obama ... maybe you should take a chance too.....
The race is over it seems, but people do you best...all you can. Go out and VOTE. Save the US people, economy and the world. We can still collectively make a change ...
YES WE ALL CAN!!!
***VOTE***VOTE***VOTE***
Hey Brian for Business... Please read PNAC, if you think Obama is wrong, then McCain is worse. I read it and it is scary... As for his sick grandmother, did you ever loose someone you love, get a life man.
OBAMA all the way.
i am not voting for obama becuase he is black
last i looked it was not illegal not to trust blacks
call it racist or call it what you want
i don't trust school teachers either , almost certain there is no law there either
....Continue firing on ALL cylinders like the Space Shuttle Barrack...the momentum needs be geared up to another level please...NO STONE SHOULD BE LEFT UNTURNED...UNTIL THE REPUBLICANS ARE ROUTED OUT ...
FIRE FOR FIRE....BLASTING FULL THROTTLE ON ALL CYLINDERS PLEASE...
GO BARRACK GO.......................
YES WE CAN
Brian, you can't be serious
No one will cry to you because you probably don' t have a answer to the most simple question ever. You just dont get it to, do you?
McCain/Palin do not and I repeat DO NOT have anything for the common man...
Brain for Business: Take a look at what you wrote. Is there any shred of logic or reasoning in your post other than empty rhetoric? It is you, Sir, who appears to be one of the " Gullible idiots" .
Ok America let go out and vote for THAT ONE we need him NOW .This will be an earthquake AMERICA
I hope the polls go off the charts for Obama......and McCain/Palin will see what lame ducks they are.....
Gullible Idiots = the fools who voted for Bush in 2004 and would vote for McLame this year. When will they learn? Just keep beating your heads against the wall.
Excuse me, Brian for Business, the American People are already losing their jobs and have less money after 8 years of George Bush. Free market, what Free market. Bush has already socialized our markets...Profits to the rich and losses to the American Taxpayer.
We can't afford 4 more years of the SAME!!!
Obama/Biden
You would have to be born in the us to become a President and some people, unfortunately, dont know their own country and think Hawaii is a different country. This is why we need an Obama administration to help make our education system better. Its pure education and with education, President Bush even would not have been elected by people in 2004.
It's the state polls that matter. Obama can win the popular vote and still lose the election. That's why it's important for Obama supporters to vote. Don't trust the polls, just get out and vote.
You'd be right , except the mother would have to have been 18 years of age , which Obama's mother wasn't. Doesn't matter because The Hawaii Dept of Health has allready declared Barack Hussein Obama is a Legal citizen of the United States of America and they further confirmed his birth certificate is legitimate and in good standing.
Hey Brian for Business,
Maybe you haven't noticed that your wonderful Republican government is wasting $10 billion per month on an unnecessary war, just took $700 billion more from us to bail out your crooked, greedy, rich Wall St. friends, and has run up the biggest deficits in history. And, at the same time, they have alienated almost the entire world with our "go-it-alone, we're the US, we can do anything we want" foreign policy. Yes, it's time for a change and, once again, we need a Democrat to clean up the huge mess your fellow Republicans have made.
sneaky pete is a troll from over at Drudge i bet.
I would implore anyone that plans to vote for Obama NOT to become overconfident and complacent over these numbers. We have been fighting too long to let this slip away, instead let's run up the score, make this election a landslide, and send a message to the world that enough is enough of the last 8 years of the Bush insanity.
Don't forget about the silent majority out there, folks.
"Government can't doe (sic) anythign (sic) well, let alone run our economy."
So – you don't care for our roads, military, space program, primary school system, fire and police departments, etc, etc, etc.?!?!?
'Brian for Business' government IS the American Way of Life – in so far as it is the expression of the collective will of the American people. You, I, – like it or not – can't 'go it alone'. That is a myth your party has sold you; think about it, get over it, move on! Even Greenspan has (recently) realized that the so-called 'Free Market' needs regulation.
"Gullible idiots = American people."
Yup – that was the story of the LAST TWO election cycles – gullible, but mostly, fearful. And much of the fear was CREATED by your party. So sad. Hopefully, folks have learned something over the last., dismal, eight years!
OBAMA '08, GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Yeah and he was ahead before the New Hampshire primary
According to all you Media hacks he was going to trounce Hillary
We will see.......
As McCain says "finish the race Obama"
Your followers had Hillary finished in February, but Obama had to limp across the finish line.
Just couldn't close the deal
Of course it helps if you have the DNC in your back pocket
Pelosi ,Dodd, Franks , Dean and all the other crooks!
Do Americans really want to see these idiots in charge?
Sneaky Pete, Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. His mother was from Kansas and his father was from Kenya.
SNEAKY PETE ////////YOU CRAZY TOO LIKE MACCAIN,,, BARACK OBAMA IS MORE AMERICAN THEN YOU,,, YOUR ARE SICK BOY
Sneaky Pete...From what I understand, John McCain was not born in the US, he was born in Panama. So based on the logic you are hearing, then John McCain can not run for President!
Don't believe the liars who are telling you that Obama is not a citizen, he was born in Hawaii and if he wasn't, his mother was a citizen and he would be a citizen.
IT¨S so pathetic that OBAMA needs BUSH so badly that in every speech he has to connect McCain to BUSH and to tell the voters how bad last 8 years were….
Bush has nothing to do with 9/11 but he has prevented new terrorist actions in american soil…and people should give Bush credit for that..
To sneaky pete October 25th, 2008 7:48 pm ET
Obama was born in Hawaii. However, according to the repugnant repubs (e.g., Silly Sarah) Hawaii is not "Real America". Therefore, according to Silly Sarah and the repugnant repubs Obama cannot be President of the so-called Real America. Which is fine – No one in their right mind wants to President of the repugnant repubs of the so-called Real America (not even McCain!). Obama will be President of the rest of us!
Why do we pay taxes?
-Not to spread wealth (0 point, if you think it is to spread wealth)
-Not to give out welfare (0 point, if you think it is to give welfare)
-Not to support the poor (0 point, if you think it is to feed the poor)
We pay taxes "To make our Government function or work for us". As an example, the Republicans just waged 2 wars because they knew the Government had our tax monies, and one of the functions of Government is to "protect us."
Do you want Government to protect us? If your answer is YES, then vote to pay taxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sneaky Pete, you're right. Being born outside the US wouldn't mean he weren't a citizen since his parents were citizens. Just like McCain being born outside the US didn't disqualify him.
Hey Brian for business, just FYI-the "American way of free markets" just cost the American taxpayers over $700B.... I'm ready to take a chance! Go OBAMA!!!
Hey sneaky pete, Shut your pie hole.Your a MORON.
i already voted for obama, cannot wait to send moose woman back to Alaska and that old decrepit man to Arizona
We cannot stop now. We must keep going. I'm heartsick at what the Rep.s have done to this country. My nephew was killed in Iraq at the very start of the war, shot down in a helo.
No WMD, nadda, zip. We are spending our sons/daughters/husbands/wives blood in Iraq for why?
Someome please tell me why? Because I haven't been able to make any sense from it. Iraq doesn't want us there, get us out.
Sen. Obama will get us out. Thank God theres still some sanity left in this country. With the huge amounts of money that are being spent in Iraq maybe we can again regain some of our standing in the world, and shift our economy to better times.
Never vote for a Rep. never, never....
Pete – it had better be true. Otherwise McCain, who was born in Panama, isn't a citizen because it is not now and has never been a part of the US.
The fear and smear from the McCain camp get worse the more they become desperate. Send the power-abusing wolf killer and her AIP-loving husband back to Alaska.
I voted early for Obama/Biden – the CONSTITUTIONAL INTELLECTS.
Seems that we're finally able to see through the McCain campaign and RNC's fear tactics.
I'D be interested to know what the polls said in the last election at this date in the race.
Why do we pay taxes?
-Not to spread wealth (0 point, if you think it is to spread wealth)
-Not to give out welfare (0 point, if you think it is to give welfare)
-Not to support the poor (0 point, if you think it is to feed the poor)
We pay taxes "To make our Government function or work for us". As an example, the Republicans just waged 2 wars because they knew the Government had our tax monies, and one of the functions of Government is to "protect us."
Do you want Government to protect us? If your answer is YES, then vote to pay taxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brian for Business,
You fit right in with the rest of the goons in Washington and this is precisely why Americans are Fed Up with the GOP and the likes of the GOP dirty tactics.
I like what I see in the polls but I don't trust them. I don't trust the republicans. They have stolen elections before. They will do anything to win.
Go Obama/Biden 2008
The Distinguished Senator from Illinois deserves a LANDSLIDE viictory for the way he and his staff masterfully ran this campaign!
I am proud to be an early voter, and prouder to have voted for the right candidate! God bless America! OB08+12
to Brian for Bad Business ;
I don't blame you for your ideology. I know how powerful and influencing the likes of fox news, hannity, limbaugh, et al to people. Maybe you should start using the www instead of those right wing talk shows/radios to be better educated on issues. Open your eyes and mind and stop living and dwelling in the past. It's the 21st century now and neocon ideologies don't apply anymore.
Of course, what really counts are the electoral college votes. I hope that Obama is elected with a solid mandate and that soon after the elections we set about healing the divisions in this country. If Obama wins, as seems likely, the best thing John McCain could do for the country then is to express support for him.
Brian for Business,
How were you under Bill Clinton? Answer that question first. Then how are you now under Bush? Which administration has given a 700 billion dollars to banks? The Bush administration!!
Obama is bringing the same economic platform as Bill Clinton and will also take it further with to get us independent from foreign oil.
It is time for you to get over your bad feeling from the primary in reference to Hillary. I don't think you really support Hilary's platform if you still carry that resentment. Senator Hilary has moved on and so should you because you can lose your peace, your heaven, just for that.
I suspect Obama is doing even better than 9%.... I can believe that a portion of the country is blind, stupid and deaf.... but not 42%..... come on.... give the People a break! Let's have a little faith!
According to US immigration rules at the time of Barack's birth, he would not qualify to be a US citizen if her were born in Kenya. That is why they are forging his birth certificate to look as though he was born in Hawaii. The fact is his mother couldn't fly at the time so she had the child in Kenya before flying him to Hawaii.
Fact is Barack is not eligible to be President, but do you think the media or anybody is willing to look into this? Absolutely not, he is the Messiah, rules don't apply to the Messiah.
We lose. Barack wins.
McCain Palin and Hillary supporters 2008
COME ON NOVEMBER 4TH!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THESE IDIOTS TO SHUT UP! YOU WILL BE PROVEN WRONG AND YOU CAN STAY IN BED FOR A WEEK UNTIL YOU SEE THE LIGHT OF THE NEW PRESIDENT OBAMA!
To sneaky pete:
Go to: obamafactcheck.com
About two centuries ago, Sir Alex Fraser Tyler (1747-1813) captured the essence of the situation we face when he said,
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
Stop the hating! If you can't stand the heat, go back to Fix News!
Positive Candidates Win Elections in the 21st Century!
The Good Ole Boys' Network is crumbling!
Maureen I agree.
Even Alan Greenspan, the champion of deregulation during his tenure (which spanned the Reagan to Bush Jr years), has just testified before Congress that he was wrong about the Market's "Invisible Hand" being able to self-regulate business, keeping it in line with the interests of it's investor.
He said his understanding of the economic model was "flawed" and he made a "mistake"
John McCain, would seek to continue to spread the wealth...from bottom to top, and that's just as unfair as top to bottom has been 20 of the past 28 years.
Obama's plan is just undoing what has been done the past 8 years. McCain can't realistically think he can pay for his plan if no one if paying the piper.
Yes, Obama would still be an American citizen regardless of where he was born due to his Mother being an American. However, the US constitution states that to run for POTUS, one must be a naturalized citizen (born on American soil) OR if one is born in a foreign land, then BOTH parents must have been American citizens – to be able to be POTUS, that is.
Doesn't matter though, Obama was born in Hawaii.
Polls suck. Everyone get out and vote for Obama. Put an end to this eight year long nightmare.
Apparently CNN has not seen the AP poll which has McCain beating Obama. I would also lke to point out that this was the most accurate poll of the 2004 election.
You liberals can slant the polls any way you want but the truth will be seen on Nov. 4. If I am wrong I just guess we will have a communist as a president or should I call Obama Czar, Dictator, or Furor?
It will soon be over for Mummy and Dummy, and we won't have to hear any more of their rage, fear, smear and lies. Praise God, truth and grace still wins out.
nobama cannot / will not save the united states in any way if elected
You must be born in the USA to be eligible for the presidency. The Honorable Barack Obama is a US born citizen and will be the next US President.
McCain was born in Panama. Not a USA state or territory. We don't want to go down that road though.
Yeah, not only are McCain and Palin really crazy, but it looks like the only people who are still supporting them are too – crazy, mean, lying nasty people who hate anything that represents any kind of real change.
McCain is great when he's behind. Watch him work his magic. Nothin up his sleave...nothing between his ears...presto, here's Palin!!!
the conservatives republicans are stupid people. who cares.
Early voting is the way to go. The Republicans have too many tricks on voting day. Don't forget 2000!
Registered Republican "voted" Obama/Biden 08
i'll take that one please. anyday of the week.
brian you silly dumb azz.....mccain was born in panama now stick that up your hole and rotate
Republicans controlled the WH, Senate and Congress for 6years and wrecked havoc to the economy through the so-called DEREGULATED Free Market Economy and where did that get us today? The Democrats took over in 2006 and tried to introduce a REGULATED Free Market but they keep getting a VETO from GWB or their effort keep getting defeated due to their narrow lead majority in Congress.
Now that there is an economic crisis everybody is blaming the current congressional leadership and calling for REGULATIONS. Where were these calls btw 2000 and 2006? I think we need to call a spade, a SPADE. A REGULATED FREE MARKET ECONOMY IS THE BEST AND WILL CURTAIL WALL STREET EXCESSES.
Brian for Business -"Change can also be a mistake."
Are you kidding me fool? The Republican ticket hasn't provided ONE alternative to this economic mess we're in. There's nothing that can happen now but change because change is inevitable. WHAT has mccain offered that's different than Bush on economic policies? Please, give me ONE example.
The whole idea of "trickle down econmics" is completely ridiculous as its what got us here in the first place. There have been so many lost jobs due to outsourcing and other means and we weren't protected from this ludicrous idea of running the country.
McCain has no new suggestions for the economy and what he does suggest follows the same principles that the bush administration has offered.
This election is more than winning or losing for either candidate and I feel McCain is more focused on winning the election than wanting to gear our country in a better direction, thus making him to not discuss the real issues.
How many people do you know that make more than 250K? Because that's who he's really interested in protecting.
McCain is my guy all the way! I just can't see America standing without him as Commander in Chief.
Call your relatives in battleground states and tell them to vote for Obama now. Right now. Right frickin' now.
i believe Barrack Obama will be an excellent president. We do not need another Bush in the white house. Senator Mccain has never denied that he voted Bush policies 90% of the time. if u listen closely to what Barrack Obama is saying about joe the plumber, he will not be raising his taxes. it scares me to think that Sarah Palin could become president should anything happen to Senator Mccain.
I voted for Obama in Texas already. Man, that felt good. Please everyone, let's get an intelligent president ready to lead on day one. You know, that one, Barack Obama.
Sneaky pete: I've never seen a post about Obama not being a citizen. McCain's campaign and Palin's campaign have said they have seen the proof he is a US citizen for themselves and there is no question about it.
McCain said, "If Obama isn't a citizen, then neither am I."
Guys....our 8 year old night mare is almost over.........we are gonna crush those right wing wacko doodles......congress will be ours and so will the presidency!!!! It will be our world!!!
watch out repubes and jesus freaks its open season....revolution he we go!!!!
obama 08 12
McCain would have been the better choice if he was at least 10yrs younger but its too late for the likes of him and the only thing he has to prepare for is his retirement come Nov5. Age and health should bebig issues in this election and all these go against the GOP ticket.
Brian for business, people are already losing their jobs, houses and way of life. Bush and the republicans have already killed the American dream for all but the top 3 percent. The thing these hateful people don't understand is without people on the bottom to buy products and goods they will eventually go down too. Their greed and hate is just to great, so we the people must take matters into our own hands. And that we will do, Obama/Biden '08.
I would feel more comfortable if Barack Obama was up by 15 or more. November 4th is near and it seems like McCain/Palin campaign is dismantling. Palin has her own agenda and McCain can't controll her. We do not need this in the white house! McCain can't run his campaign and obvisously can't controll Sahra Palin so how is you going to run a country and handle the economic issuses.
Brian for business where have you been for the past 8yrs, McCain & Bush have made this big MESS. Now Obama will lead us out of this MESS. Obama was born in Hawaii and is a US citizen.
Brian you are an idiot. Bush in spending 10 billion a month in iraq.. Think about that for a change. What would that amount of money do to the American economy.

Brian for business, I see everybody is picking on you. So I read your post and I see 'McCain Palin and Hillary supporters' as a tag ID.
Have you wondered if that is possible, given whom Hillary supports now? You need to reconcile this one way or the other, jealousy can drive you mad.
god bless america and may god choose the man he thinks will
best govern .
"When you lose your job and have less money after these three clowns ruin the American way of free markets, don't come crying to me."
Been there, done that under Bush, Cheney and McCain. Remember what happened last time we had a Democratic president? Job & wage growth? Budget surpluses? Funny how all the deficits and financial scandals (remember the S & L debacle?) happen under Republican presidents pushing deregulation.
McCain's guru, Phil Gramm, said Clinton's tax plans would cause a major recession and destroy the economy. Instead we had a great run–until the Republicans took control.
We won't come crying to you. We won't need to.
Some one tell me how making the rich pay a honest wage for a hard days work is socialism. When Obama talks about spreading the wealth., this is what he is talking about. Its time the rich stopped stealing our blood and sweat.
Rite.on.org yesterday circulated another of these concocted stories about Obama not being a natural born US citizen. This sort of stuff plays to a small sector of the base that laps up this nonsense. Yes, he was born in Hawaii. End of story.
we are behind Mccain and Palin. We need good American heroes not Kenya born Obama who we really do not know much and where all his money is coming from, not from American people.
Obama/Biden 08
McCain was born in Panama, so if Obama isn't a citizen then neither is McCain
SNeaky Pete> Give it up. You've asked that exact same question in every single article on here. I don't believe for a second you want clarification. You're clearly a Republican troll trying to insinuate something about Obama. Whatevs.
Smart people aren't going to buy that baloney.
McCain Palin and Hillary supporters 2008, Brian for Business and sneaky pete.......PICK UP YOUR CHECK IN ALASKA TOMORROW IN TROOPERGATE MEETING..... YOU PAID BLOGGER JOB IS OVER.............JOB PERFORMANCE BELOW AVERAGE...
CNN along with ABC, CBS, MSNBC has shown America just how bias and unfair they can be. I have never seen such one sided coverage for anyone as you have shown for McCain. You people decided who you wanted to win and then used the power of the media to lock Obama in. You have taken the rights of Americans to choose. I have lost loved ones who fought for the freedom of this country, to give us rights, and the media abused its power. You will pay for such abuse as time goes by because Americans know what you did. Obama might very well win but we will never know if he won because he was the pick of the people. We were not informed about everything about this man and that was the bias medias choosing. You made the decision of what Americans would know and what they would not know. This will be remembered and if things don't go good for America you will be part of the blame. I as an American feel very cheated by such unfair and bias news coverage.
We will not know until election day.
I hope the polls are accurate. I would hate to think of a McCain / Palin presidency. Please, Americans, lets get this country back on track, and the only sensible, logical, sane way is to vote for the Obama / Biden ticket!
You are right sneaky poete..if a child is born outside the united states to a american citizen that child is an american citizen....the people that are saying that he is not an american,are saying it because they wish he was not eligible to be president.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12
Jeez – Louise!
I'm soooo past tired of this Obama isn't a US citizen BS. Don't y'all think someone would have disqualified him by now if thos were true? John McEnroe – who is pro-American almost to the point of nausea was born in Germany (yes it's true – look it up). Does that make him a descendant of Hitler?
These people talking these lies that Obama was born in Kenya and want to see his birth certificate needs to get a life.They have listen to McCain and Palin for so long they actually are beginning to beleive them about what Obama is hiding.It does not matter where Obama was born even though it was in HAWAII his mother was an american citizen so that would make him an american citizen.If there was any truth to your false claims how on earth would he have become a senator and lied about his birth place.Just accept the fact that lies like Rezko,Ayers,Paling with terriost ,and not loving his country because he's anti american but there are people that are voting for him (which the polls speak for themselves)do not agree with you.McCain is behind because of people like you that want to divide this country and put fear in them.And by the way Palin don't help the ticket with her anti american remarks.He thought picking this woman he would get Hillary's supporters to secure his nomination but the majority of those supporters surprised him in letting him know that they were not as stupid as he thought they were.This woman is no Hillary Clinton.He never spoke against George Bush until this week because he is grasping for whatever breath his campaign have.Throwing Bush under the busthis week is too late after voting alongside with him 90% of the time and still he think we are stupid.If you McCain supporters have been happy for the last eight years under Bush and 90% of McCain what planet were you on under Bush because you certainly have not been on this planet
Isn't it funny that the right-wing trolls (like "sneaky pete".....puleez!) wonder about Obama's being born in Hawaii but turn a blind eye to the fact that McCain was not born in the U.S. ........ was born in Panama, if memory serves, but is a U.S. citizen nonetheless.
Get over it........both men are honorable Americans.
MEDIA'S RUN FOR THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT .
SPONSORED BY THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE .
SPOKE'S PERSON FOR THE MEDIA , IS NONE OTHER THAN BARRY HUSSIEN OBAMA , THE ONE THAT IS NOT A CITIZEN OF THE USA. YES!! THE ONE THAT HAS ALL THE TERRORIST TIES, THAT WANTS TO BRING ALL THE ILLEGALS IN TO VOTE FOR HOLLYWOODS LATEST STAR.

SO POLL, POLL JUST MORE LIES , WITH TIES.
Hey, Brian for Business, from your outdated,neo-con drivel it's obvious you voted for W twice. Who's the gullible idiot?
sneaky pete:
The charge is false and, pardon me for saying so, anyone who still believes taht Obamam was born in Kenya after 21 months of HIllary and McCain tearing through every aspect of his life is either naive, under a rock, or just plain looking for anything, anything to hang their hat on not voting for the Dmocratic ticket.
As a way of comparison, however, it is confirmed that John Sidney McCain, the son of a US Navy Admiral, was born in Panama City, Panama (Latin (South) America). Obviously, he's still been deemed qualified to run for the office of the President.
But you have to wonder if all his talk in the last debate about Obama needing to visit South America isn't born out of a secret kinship with his country men and women of the region of his birth. (That's my own Karl Rovian/GOP attack slander email talking point)
Obama's plan is to get our troops out of Iraq so he can send them back into Afghanistan! How stupid is that! Too bad BHO has no military experience. John McCain will do it the right way!!!
After 8 years of total mismanagement, misrepresentation, and mistakes, I am looking forward to a positive change, a positive foreign policy agenda, and a positive attitude towards the welfare of all Americans, not just the rich.
EVERYONE GET OUT THERE AND VOTE–Whether its for Obama-Biden or for Those Two. GETT OUT THERE AND VOTE SO THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN YOUR STATE WHO THE WINNER IS!!!!!!!!!
BUSH took away your money, 401k's, houses, lots of civil rights, and 4000 of your kids for the Iraq war.
MCCAIN wants to continue that GARBAGE!
WHY WOULD YOU WANT MORE OF THIS???
IF ANOTHER COUNTRY DID THIS TO US, WE WOULD'VE DECLARED WAR ON THEM BY NOW!!!
People, if you don't like Obama, for the love of God................at least stay home instead of voting for McSame & Barbie the Hillbilly's wife!
Anybody remember the game Mortal Combat when an opponent was just about to die? There was a graphic above the player's head and a gravelly voice would announce "Finish Him!" That reminds me of the McCain/Palin campaign, just withering until Obama/Biden lands the next uppercut....
Obama 08
sneaky pete-you are right.
obama!!
This is now the time for change.For those of you who are not use to change, well get ready. We must stay focused, better educate ourselves and become less dependent on systems. Take a long look at how we are living as individuals and figure out how you got to where you are today. We all must stop blaming others and do more to help bring greater changes in our own lives.
Remember that no one person have all the answers on anything. Keep the faith, hope, learn to trust and most of all be patient.
OBAMA/BIDEN
sneaky pete,yes he would be.
Sneaky Pete..... From "I'm a fellow Westerner" comment ..........
You poor lost soul.... You are really confused OR another repub plant to stir up conversation but heres the answer to your confusion........
YES, FOR THE TEN BILLIONTH TIME..............................
SENATOR OBAMA IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, YES.... HE WAS BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL.......... YES.... HE CAN AND IS LEGAL TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT...... GOT THAT??????
OH YES.... HE'S GONNA WIN TOO...
Brian, Rush and Shaun must be your daddy.
Does the Republican pundents who are saying Obama is not a citizen because he was born in Hawaii, know that John McCain was born in the Canal Zone?
sneaky pete: Obama was born in Hawaii. There have been several photo analysis done to prove that there is a raised seal that bleeds through from the back along with a signature.
This is just another example of pathetic right wing smears on Obama.
Wouldn't you think that after 2 years of running that if he didn't have a valid birth certificate it would have been proven a long time ago – like before the primaries?
The Republicans want you to be scared of Obama because they are scared of losing all of their power. Plain and simple.
Bet..................I'm sorry for your grief in the loss of your loved one in Iraq. Many, Many more of us feel that same grief for the loss of our loved ones and the soldiers who are coming home so broken in body, mind and spirit. Take heart in the fact that Iraq will be over soon for not only us but also for the Iraq people who certainly didn't ask George Bush/ John McCain/Don Rumsfeld and the rest of that murdering lot to invade their country.. The voters of this country will certainly vote against that type of leadership when they elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden in just a few long days...
You silly butts that keep talking about where Obama was born – it was Hawaii!
Now, why aren't you Republicans talking about McCain being born in Panama while his dad was in the service?
At least Hawaii belongs to the United States of America.
Hey CNN how is it that Sneaky Pete has posted first in almost every article on the Ticker? If you have something you want to ask, why don't YOU ask it. I think sneaky CNN is more apt.
I know you will keep me in moderation and this post will never appear, but at least you will see it.
10 more days...everyone vote for Obama! It will be a wonderful celebration on November 5th.
Also as exciting on November 5th, Palin will have been flown back to Alaska...I hope she remembers to return her 'Convention Clothes'.
People make sure you go out in vote especially those who in states that has early voting. Don't take anything for granted, and don't be supertitious either. I can't stress how important it is for us to go out to vote.
Obama is a coward and a liar. He hides behind the skirts of the press,
the lies of his party and the muscle of the Chicago political establishment. It will be great to have a child run this country. Go Obama
To sneaky Pete who asked the question about where Obama was born.
You are 100% correct that Obama was born in Hawaii and NOT Kenya.
I would also like to give you a little bit of info about McCain,he is the only one thats running for President right now that wasn't born on US soil. Check it out for yourself.
Remember to Vote on NOV 4th
let it go people it's obvious he's a citizen
Obams/Biden 08/12
what will mccain think of next I am waiting for him to say obama was abducted by aliens but they brought him back because he will raise their taxes LOL
sneaky Pete.....for your information,McC was bornin Panama Canal Zone. Pût that in your dimwit Republican brain
OBAMA Is the best choice no more lies from MCshamewe need a true leader ! UNITE HERE is FOR OBAMA 08
Vote for Obama is Vote for American prosperity
Dear Americans!!
Through CNN, the 2008 Elections have brought a rather unique phenomenon about the way you Americans express your political stands! It is my hope that the world is a taking a cue with your MOST fearless, factual and critical opinions to shape the politics of their Countries! We join hands in (you-Americans voting & us-Kényans & the World P
raying) for ÖBAMA!!!
To Brian for Business: Job losses you say? How about 750,000 in the past 12 months. Higher taxes? For the top 5%. Less money? How about 11 trillion dollars of national debt, half of which was run up by the current administration. Even when the economy was good, the Bush administration ran a $500 billion deficit. Obamma supporters want to get back to peace and prosperity.
talking about who shouldn't be allowed to run for president: Obama was born in Hawai while Mccain was born in Panama
People are forgetting that Mccain was born in Panama. So guess who shouldnt be running for president?
In all those posting questioning if Obama was born in the US, wasnt McCain born in Panama? I am sure the little game of who was born where and questioning who is a US citizen can be played both ways, with McCain losing as his birth certificate is from Panama.
