RENO, Nevada (CNN) - Democrat Barack Obama levied more criticism at opponent John McCain Saturday, mocking the Arizona Republican by saying McCain is just "trying to break with his president over the last ten days after having supported him for the last eight years."
"He denounced the President for letting things get completely out of hand–that's what he said," Obama told a crowd in Reno. "In fact, John McCain is so opposed to George Bush's policies, that he voted with him 90 percent of the time for the first eight years. That's right, he decided to really stick it to George Bush – 10 percent of the time."
"So, let's be clear. John McCain attacking George Bush for his out-of-hand economic policy is like Dick Cheney attacking George Bush for his go-it-alone foreign policy. What Joe Biden says – it's like Tonto getting mad at the Lone Ranger."
Though, to be clear, Obama's running mate Joe Biden never actually said that publicly. Biden has, however, made similar references using Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
The Illinois senator is spending the day out west. In addition to Reno's event, he's also holding a rally in Las Vegas, as well as one in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

KEEP PLUGGING AWAY SENATOR OBAMA.
I've already voted for you Barack, and hope other people vote early too.
Send the AIP-loving alaskan pair packin' .
You Go Barack Obama. Just a few more days and you can pretty much bring it in for a touchdown. American CANNOT afford 4 more years of the last 8.
Easier to mock old McCain for his ties to the dangerous loony PALIN
I wish the negative comments WOULD STOP from Both candidates. It's getting OLD!
A Damocrat
That's right don't let up on him. We need a landslide so that the GOP can not steal this election.
McCain says: I’ve been tested.. Please someone tell me how McCain has been tested.. If you call sitting on a ship off the coast of cuba during the cuban missile crisis a test, i don’t think so.. He has never had to make a critical judgement or handle a crisis.. and if his vote to go to war with Iraq was a test, then he failed..In my opinion his claim of " I've been tested " is just plain hypocracy.
It's really sad that John McCain will go down in history like this. Why doesn't he stop doing this. It's embarrasing the rest of the party. The ship jumped list grows larger every day. This is very sad indeed. From war hero to senile politician.
keep it going
no matter how CNN and the GOP and the RNC spins it, people want change, and lets not allow CNN the GOP and the RNC along with limbaugh, rove cheney and mcbush palin
steal the election they did it twice before, they will not stop at anything,
please get out and VOTE
help others with letting them know where to go
print directions
give maps
give numbers for people to call when the conservatives pull some of their stunts..
we all have to be watchful this election
this is our future
it literally HANGS in this election and our vote
this is it folks
Obvious! One word! Desperate!
The only question I have for John McCain is "Do you think you executed the right judgement while choosing your advisers?" how on earth will someone advise him to start distancing himself at this elevent hour instead of telling Americans what he will do to better their lots in this critical moment it shows that he lack simple leadership quality of choosing the right people to work with. McCain will be too risky for America!
Bush /MCcain voted for the same policies and MCcain will continue doing the same business in washington as Bush , we can no longer continue down that same road.
Too late McCain. It is over for your campaign. I hope we won't have to hear you and Palin too much longer and that you both can go home. Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Consider this. If Bush was the better choice between himself and McCain in the 2000 election and we see how good Bush has been, why then would we even think about the lesser of the two being best for the nation now.
McCain is tied to Bush at the hips. No matter how hard he tries to go his own way he can't because those two only have one set of legs.
Obama's been with Ayres the last eight years.
Bush and Cheney just voted for McCain. No way I'm voting the same as those guys. I am voting for THAT ONE!!!! Obama 08!
Bush and McCain are joined at the hips, we all know that, when you think of McCain think of Bush.
This is my comment is-My friends and i are confused as to what Senator McCain calls 'experience' and 'being tested' Has McCain ever been elected President of the USA? because it is only a former President that can lay claim to such, any other person has to be judged by his or her previous record on sound judgement and nothing more.
DONE DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John McCain may have lost his only shot at being president. Instead of runing the campaign he promised – a clean honest one – he let the RNC take over and look at the results. Many people who used to respect McCain are now thinking that he has lost his righteous mind. In fact, if Senator Obama were a white man, he would be even further ahead in the polls.
People accuse Senator Obama of being a socialist while ignoring that the big business bailout, agreed to my the Republican party, is a socialist program where the government owns major businesses. If we actually sink into some form of socialism, it won't be Senator Obama's fault. We are already headed there.
mccain can say what ever he wants but we all know he will be another bush.
I live in columbus ohio and its more likely that obama will win ohioans.he's got my vote alright.
John McCain is running in the same platform that George Bush ran on for eight years, there is no difference between the two except for John's temper tantrums.
Between John McCain's nasty disposition and Sarah Palin's belief in extreme right wing Christianity, thes two are dangerous.
Yes We Can!!!!!!!!
This is ironic....John Mccain had the audacity to criticize Bill Clinton for a $200 hair cut in the 90's... and now his vice presidential failure needs$150,000 to restore polically failing image ??? This is the same man who sponsored a bill for deregualtion of banking finance for wall street back in early 2000....which George Bush signed into law. Mccain is a "blue print" copy of Bush. And, unfortunately, he lies by the denial he is any different.
I can put up with MCain's ties to President Bush better than I can with Obama's ties to all his anti-American hating friends and famiy members.
I am so sick of Obama trying to tie McCain to Bush, this is childish.. Every single time he gets on the microphone.
Senator Obama we don't want to hear this nonsense. We want to know why you think you economic plan is better than the McCain. We want to know where you stand on Economy, Military, Jobs, Education, and what about Social Security you have not even talked about that.
this is funny stuff but true..
Just voted with my mom.... feeling proud to be an American!
Go Obama and Biden!!!
McCain is doing what many others have done before him when they are in trouble and desparate they turn against their own. Honestly, is this the type of person we want in office?
President Obama is the real deal, calm and collected while McCain is erratic.
If the choice were between McCain and Bush, I would have to vote for Bush. Ugh... I can't believe I said that, but it's true.
McCain is closing fast, he's on fire and really smart.
Well that's peculiar. If Bush was wrong why couldn't McCain tell til now that he's running for POTUS?
If McCain and Palin cannot run a desciplined campaign, how are they going to run the country?
John McCain's last minute attempt to break-away from President Bush is another failed campaign strategy. He lets Bush raise money for him and gets behind closed door advice from him, and now all of a sudden he speaks out about Bush.
John McCain is proving once again that he cannot lead this country.
how can you not link them. their policies are the same worn out policies of the republican past.its time for something new.
Just shows what a Coward John McCain really is. Shakes your hand with one hand and stabs you in the back with the other. Crazy old fool.
mccain has supported over 90% of bushs failed policies including his economic polices, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN
Wow MCcain stuck it to Bush 10% of the time. You maverick you. Obama 2008!
America open your eyes and do not allow the politics of fear to rule . McCain /palin have run out of ideas ,all the have is bitterness left and it flows every time they speak
vote obama/biden
I'll vote for OBAMA but damm Michelle Obama is one damm ugly BABOON MONKEY. Please Obama get a new wife
Welcome back Obama! I will continue to pray for your "Toot". The best thing we can do is make you the next president of the United States. That is putting Country First!!
Obama/Biden '08
That's the only thing Obama call say. "McCain is same as Bush. bla bla bla.... I think Obama is more like Bush. Taking over $100,000 from fredie mac. McCain is the right man for the job!
Go McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 10 more days to go future President Obama! Hang in there Toot!
Obama all the time say the same –Bush bush Bush. Come on stop it. McCain is not Bush. If he is Bush, You Osama.
A Vote for John McCain is a Vote for George W. Bush. Where is Bush, Are you Republicans ashame to own him as your leader?
OBAMA SAYS "PROTECT TAXPAYERS NOT CEOS"...
PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY WHETHER OBAMA CAN SOLVE THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WITHOUT GIVING OUT
" ECONOMY PACKAGES " WHICH ARE SUPPOSE TO STRENGTHEN THE MARKETS, WHEN HE GETS ELECTED OR HE WAS JUST SAYING TO GET ELECTED...
Mr. McCain surely thinks that the public is so dim-witted that it cannot see this so called "break" with Bush for what it is: ONE HUGE FACADE – one more desperate attempt to fool us in the ninth innings.
Lets see John, you were a maverick when you opposed the Bush tax cuts for the rich in 2000. In 2006 you voted 90% with Bush and you said you were a maverick. In 2007 you voted 95 percent with Bush and you said you were a maverick. In 2008 you voted 100% with Bush and you say you are a maverick. Then you do a prolonged photo op at the White House when you got the Bush endorsement you coveted. Then you say you suddenly think the Bush tax cuts on the rich are wonderul for the economy and they must stay all the while claiming you are a maverick. So yesterday you come out and say we cannot keep doing things for the next four years the way they were done for the last 8 years and claim to be a maverick. The only person you seem to be a maverick towards is yourself John. If i had to come up with a word to describe you it sure would not be maverick. Perhaps erratic, unstable, aloof, senile. Don't want to be rude but I gotta call em as i see em. For a guy who has lived as long as you it sure seems you have trouble with History because trickle down didnt work under Reagen, Bush Sr, or Bush Jr. The only three Presidents we have had that the debt increased under. Bottom up did work because Bill Clinton balanced the budget and the debt dropped under his control. Common sense John....and Barack is the one who has it.
GOBAMA
Yes, an elephant is still an elephant. It cant become a MOUSE overnight.
Do you wish to rush to war again? Keep voting for McCain. Remember, he took us to WAR>
Better to be stuck to Bush than Ayers and Wright. Yadda , yadda... stay after it Hussein. McCain has never lied about his roots and family history.
You Obama folks can't even dream of a candidate with a decent family or personal history. Daddy was a Commie in Kenya, preacher hates Whites, and his pals from Chicago, Ayers and Rezko speak volumns about his character. I meant to say his past. "Character" should never be used in context with Obama.
Does McCain actually think voters are really gonna believe going "mavericky" on Bush with 10 days left is genuine?
And Palin – Shreeking "socialist" like she knows what it means – That's so hypocritical coming from the governor of a state that hands out checks from the oil companies to every person in the state!
Truth be told Palin has established the prototype for a "nanny nation" in her own state!
I can not believe McCain is saying the things that he is now saying. John you voted with Bush 90% of the time and now come out and bash him for the way he has taken this country. I'm sure happy you will never have the opportunity to fallow Bush lead. Most Republicans are single issue voters and you can't find there issuses to harp on, go back to one of your many houses and weep.
After meeting with small business owners in Colorado yesterday, McCain released a statement emphasizing the need for “less government regulation of their business.”
Politico’s Lisa Lerer notes that this is “a dangerous message in the midst of a market meltdown many have blamed on a lack of regulation on Wall Street.”
You tell him Obama!
I won't dispute that Obama is an intelligent, articulate person, but he strikes me as a desperate nominee who with all his campaign millions can't come up with anything better than trying to convince everyone that McCain is the same as Bush.
Why the upcoming half hour slots on the three major channels? I think it's fear. Also, just like his big speech in Germany and his stadium speech, etc., Obama being an egotist will glory in speaking to America!. It will be interesting to hear afterwards how many people tune in.
It's laughable that McCain thinks that he can separate himself from Bush after supporting him 90% of the time. He rambles all over the place and his campaign is all pandering, lies and innuendo. If McCain’s campaign is a predictor of what his presidency would be we would all be in trouble if he is elected. He clearly can’t manage his way out of a paper bag.
I'm voting Obama/Biden.
WELL THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD MOCKK OBAMA FOR TIES WITH BILL CLINTON!@! I NEVER SAW SUCH A FARSE AS THIS ONE! THEY CAN'T STAND EACH OTHER, BUT YET OBAMA WILL CRAWL UP HIS BUTT FOR THE VOTES!IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WHEN ASKED THE QUESTION DID HE THINK OBAMA WAS READY TO BE PRESIDENT"CLINTON SAID , HE WOULD GIVE A STATMENT ON THAT AFTER THE ELECTION!" SOUNDS TO ME HE HAS NO FAITH IN HIM OR HE WOULD HAVE SAID WHET HE HAD TO SAY! OH THATS RIGHT WE HAD TO GET THE CAMPAIGN MONEY PAID OFF FOR HILLARY FIRST!
Well, if it walks like a duck and looks like a duck and sounds like a duck...it's probably a duck!
McCain and Bush are interchangeable.
Obama will vote with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid 100% of the time. If Obama is elected, I hope we will be able to recover from the havoc that trio will cause our country. We need a leader with substance.
Dems, do not underestimate the virulent racism that still exist in our country today. Even though most of the time it no long take the form of a noose, it will raise its hateful head in the privacy of the voting booth.
Get everyone you know out to vote or McDufus will steal this one like W stole the one in 2000.
You gotta admit it...
That Obama guy is REALLY GOOD!
Obama/Biden '08
HEY MABUSH! WHAT ABOUT YOUR GAS TAX HOLIDAY NOW THAT THE PRICE OF OIL HAD DROPPED AND GAS IS NOW UNDER $2.50 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT OTHER BRILLIANT IDEAS HAVE YOU GOT LEFT?
WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BLAME NOW FOR THAT??? OBAMA...
ANOTHER MCBUSH JOKE...TAKE YOU MILLIONAIRE WIFE HOME AND GO FISHING.
Let's also remember that McCain is likely to suround himself with many of the same people who have been advising Bush and leading the Bush administration. Barack Obama and Jo Biden have created an outstanding team of experienced, intelligent advisors and are ready to put into place a very different kind of team at the top – with some of the best people from BOTH parties.
Remember, you don't just get the candidates, you get a whole team – and that's what this election is really about. It is clear that Obama has real practical plans, well thought out, and ready to roll into gear, while McPain seems to be running mostly on fear and ideology, rather than constructive solutions.
Good for Obama. I get less and less impressed with the McCain campaign every day. Obama doesn't have to lift a finger for that to happen because McCain and Palin are digging themselves their own hole.
sen. mccain its better you continue your romance with prez. bush and lose so you can blame him now, than to dump him, lose and blame him later. Prez. bush real pals are those who stick by you in hard times. am not sure john mccain is one. Advise yourself. my vote is for obama and not an erractic mccain.
I was there – it was awesome. McCain Palin have become a JOKE. 10 days to go!
Within just six months, 50% of the African Americans, will wonder why they Voted for him... They will get nothing out of the Deal... Nothing!
McCain seems so bitter lately. he is scaring moderates away.
Keep Keeping Mr Obama, we have few days left to make histroy, I dont drink but i will drink on nov 4th , just to celebrate the victory. God bless America
Sen. John McCain can run, but can't hide that he voted 90% of the time with Pres. George Bush. Now this country is devastated, from big towns to small towns.
vote early Obama/Biden
Keep Keeping on Mr Obama, we have few days left to make histroy, I dont drink but i will drink on nov 4th , just to celebrate the victory. God bless America
So when is Obama going to campaign against McCain and not Bush?
McCain is right is this bozo wants to run against Bush then he should have 4 yrs ago. Get if it OBUMA and race against your opponent.
This guy is so retatrded he doesn't even know who he is running against and you clowns want him to run the country?
McCain says on the trail that increase of taxes will slow economic recovery. Well John 8 years of tax breaks for the wealthy have crippled our economy and the worlds. It's going to take some serious redistribution of wealth from the taxpayers to the wealth to set it right.
The USA and Russia are in Big Trouble... Think Small if you will... You can be in a Depression withing six month Mr...... USA is a Big Country..;. The Bigger the Company The Bigger the Overheads...
You have nothing to offer the World they don;t already Have...
i was mocking him too ,macain you can run but you cant hide.
We don't need another Cowboy/Fighter Pilot as President. Honestly, I have seen enough of their "talents" over the last 8 years.
I honestly do Miss the Old McCain. A year ago I was pondering voting for him over Hillary. But McCain has fallen so far so fast that I am shocked that he could do so. I do miss the honest, steadfast, and honorable man that once was McCain.
Thankfully there is Obama, who not only is a valid alternative, but is also a man with a positive, hopeful vision of the future.
I can't wait for this to all be over and we can get on with cleaning up the HUGE mess the Re'lic party has left in Washington. "If you're not with us, you're against us." Sound familiar? WHO muttered that famous phrase? Did division not start with him? Said he was a "uniter, NOT a divider"...funny, HOW'S THAT working 4 ya Dubya, huh? McCain and Palin our doing the same thing. Trying to drive a wedge between the American people. Good trumps evil. Speaking of halloween...it'll come back to Haunt-Ya! BeTcH-Ya!!!
HOW DARE OBAMA THROW UP BUSH WHEN THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE NEVER GAVE BUSH A BILL FOR HIM TO EXCEPT OR REFUSE IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. BUSH WAS AN AWFUL PRESIDENT BUT HE DIDN'T MESS THIS COUNTRY UP ALONE MUCH BLAME GOES TO NANCY PALOSI AND HARRY REED. IF OBAMA WANTS TO DISCUSS TIES HOW ABOUT A 20 YEAR ATTACHMENT REVERAND WRIGHT WHO PREACHS HATE FOR AMERICA AND WHITE PEOPLE. McCAIN HAS GIVEN HIS LIFE TO THIS COUNTRY WHILE OBAMA TAKES FROM AMERICA. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TO LAZY TO WORK. I WORK 2 JOBS TO SURVIVE AND HE WANTS ME TO SHARE MY MONEY AND LOSE EVERYTHING I HAVE WORKED FOR TO PEOPLE WHO WITH A LITTLE EFFORT COULD DO AS WELL OR BETTER THAN I DO.
NO OBAMA
McCAIN/ PALIN
Bush Policies=failure
McCains policies= Bush policies
get it?
vote obama please!
That's right!!!! There's no pulling the wool over voters eyes this year. I hope people really see the McCain/Palin ticket for what it really is ....... A JOKE!!!!
Obama/Biden 08
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..
Change is coming! Go vote early if possible. GO BARACK!
YES WE CAN!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
Amen to the 10 percent of the time, I cant believe what has happened to the straight talk express its gonna be a long 10 days Obama 08
Too Funny, Obama SPENDS like BUSH!
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!!!!
Obama was SO truthful ! McCain is "distancing" himself from Bush,..when it's less than 2 weeks away from the election. McCain thinks Americans won't notice the timing. This is a man who voted 90% of the time for Bush's policies. This is the man who said "the economy was doing well under the Bush admin." just 2 days before the economy crashed! McCain lives in 7 houses, married a heiress, and eats at very expensive resturants while the Americans are losing their homes and scraping for money to buy groceries.
McCain is a joke!
Obama is so full of himself. I can't even listen to him anymore.
Thank you Sen. Obama.
Can't wait to say President Obama.
how about it al didnt all come down to ohio obama already won by turning virginia blue youre trying to make him look like bush we are tired of hearing polls frm ohio how about give us new polls from other state if this race was to look like 2004 what is there to decide
wher are the polls from nevada and new mexico
Take it to em!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008
They are joined at the hip. If McCain is cut Bush will bleed.
I can hardly wait for the election to be over and a new president is elected. Looks like Barack Obama is t he winner, and that's quite okay with me.
I Will Stand In The Cold All Day To Cast My Vote For Obama!
Joe the Plumber, meet Joe NoMoe
NoMoe Home
NoMoe Use for Joe the Plumber
NoMoe Money
NoMoe 401K
NoMoe Car
NoMoe Credit Card
NoMoe Bush & McCain!
NoMoe BS so vote for Obama & Biden '08
obama mocks everyone – McCain, Joe the Plumber, you, me, Pennsylvanians, Bible carriers, freedom to bear weapons, freedom of speech. However, he is for youth camps, dissolving our military defense, truth squads, welfare or distributing our income to those who make less or don't work.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
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.
Why with all the economic turmoil has Sen. McCain not stopped the International Republican Institutes that he chairs from collecting billions of tax payer dollars that they receive as a "non-profit" ? Nation building can wait while we rebuild our own ....
What the republicans let administration did is give a small number of americans the key to the bank and did they really think these greedy people would do the right thing, the trickle down effect has not worked and John McCain wants to continue the Bush practice of rewarding big busness for nothing.
JUST SAY NO!!!!!! Greed is a powerful addiction.
Can't you (CNN) find anything more meaningful to comment on than this during such an important time in our financial/economic history.
Let's have someone ask both candidates about the role 'disaster capitalism" is playing in the market of late. We need transparency.
I'm horrified at the state of our economy, national and foreign policies as well. Fighting wars without ends is job security for someone(s).
The mob screams "socialist" at Sarah Palin rallies (note the increasing irrelevancy of McCain). This "socialist" label is simply the latest scare tactic of the Republican desperation machine. It's a powerful propaganda word, gets the low-info voters all riled up. Unfortunately for the Republicans, taxation does not equal socialism, and only fools will believe them.
Good job Obama; knock McCain out of the race!
Hmm whenever we would have McCain mocking Obama it would be flooded with Obamabots... now we get the other side of the coin and they hide... nice
Keep it up Barrack, if Mcsame wanted to distance himself from bush he should have done it eight years ago. we are going to win this election and will change this country under Obam's presidency.
If it walks like a duck...if it quacks like a duck....it's a DUCK!!!
John McCain has been "quacking for Bush 90%" of his senate years. John McCain stated it proudly himself that he supported BUSH. So now it's time to eat crow now Sen. McCain.
Senator Barack Obama, you are the man. and any one with
a ounce deceancy and care for self and others will agree
and there are other who will disagree , then they would be
living in the 1930's people around the world are routing
for you
It will all be over soon. McShame can take his wife, Cruella, his Paris Hilton wannabe daughter, his girlfriend, Sarah Failin', Joe the fake plumber and Joe, his idiot brother and head to Alaska. What a wondeful day it will be!
It is pretty funny how McCain is trying to tie Obama to Bush. It is just another lame attempt to fool some of the people all of the time.
I'd rather have ties to Bush who was willing to defend this country against terrorism than ties to Ayers who committed acts of terrorism against this country. Goes to show the lunacy of those who support Obama. If Obama wins it shows how easily deceived by the media too many American's are.
NEWS FLASH..
the AP just relesed a story stating Governor Sarah Palin manipulated the bidding on the oil or is it gas line from Alaska that she is always bragging about.
John McDaddy McCain sold his soul and mortgaged his conscience when he hugged and kissed George Bush after George Bush had beaten him to the Republican presidential nomination eight years ago. On that day, McCain the maverick became McCain the brown-noser.
McCain is disgusting and Palin is disgustingly dumb. Thanks but no thanks!!
When people "booed" at Obama's foreign affairs forum, Obama told them to stop, to show respect and to go and vote.
No such thing at the McCain and Palin rallies where their supporters boo, hurl insults and eat up their smears.
Who of the two candidates will be most able to bring this country together and work across party lines when McCain can't even consolidate his own Republicans!!
His paternal grandmother and other family members said he was born in Kenya. you can find some info on Newsmax if you really want some facts. I wouldn't just take Factcheck.org's word. Why won't Obama's lawyers answer the lawsuit that's been filed in regard to this issue. Check out the facts from Newsmax. Looks like the only birth cert. that's been displayed was not valid, but who cares? Rah Rah for Obama anyway as far as the liberals are concerned.
Yes, if your mother is a U.S. citizen, and you are born outside of the U.S., you are automatically a U.S. citizen. It is no different for John McCain who was born in Panama, born on foreign soil and still a U.S. citizen becuase his mother was.
The GOP is grapsing at straws with this one. Shame, shame, shame...
I can't wait for nov 4th to be over with, I'm really tired of seeing mccain,s face on TV it kinda scary
You go, O! Lay it out, all the truth. McCain's hypocrisy is so deep now, wading through it I feel like I'm 72. You'd think he'd have gained a little wisdom and truthfulness by this time, but he's getting more and more vile and distorted in his view of reality. I respected him before his campaign, and he's totally shot it all in one wad. He may be a survivor of war, but he's come through his present war like a real schmuck. Yes, trials are character forming. Look what his trials produced: a real a–hole.
mccain is a needs to see a doctor
I was privileged to attend Senator Obama's Reno rally this morning. Although we had to wait two and a half hours standing on our feet on a cold, wet baseball field before he took the stage, it was well worth it. The mic went out in the middle of his speech but he handled it with grace and humor and he didn't miss a beat. He also expressed his appreciation for the well wishes that people have sent to his grandmother. I felt as though I was seeing the next president evolving right before my eyes. It was an historic moment and one that I will long remember.
The argument that Obama was born in Kenya is so silly and stupid, I can't believe people are falling for it. This is a lame attempt by the Republicans and anyone else to discredit Obama. So I say to New Yorker on this blog, can you prove that the birth certificate is invalid and what relatives [give me names, dates, and places] that confirm he was born in Kenya?
I guess the fact that his relatives on his mother's side of the family were there, doesn't make any difference. GET A LIFE.
