Good Ad.

Obama/Hagel '08

Today the Bush Administration is addressing the state of the economy.

Under the Bush Administration:
We racked up 4 trillion dollars of debt...the first 43 presidents racked up 6 trillion dollars of debt

Inflation is at its highest in 20 plus years

The dollar is at its lowest in 27 years

We have a housing melt-down.

Food Oil is rising at a rediculous rate

and Unemployment is at its highest in 20 years.

It is time to unite this country and lift each other off the ground to work to better this great country of ours

Take back America
Obama '08

"restore" America's leadership in the world.

Contrary to the shrill opinions of liberals and Europeans - America never stopped being the world leader.

Though our economy is in a rough spot, it's still the largest in the world. As is our military. As is our job market.

When the Bashir's, and Kim's and other despots of the world carry on - who does the world consistently ask for assistance? Which nation remains the single largest contributor of foreign aid? In what city does the UN itself get free rent?

America has its problems in leadership, in economy, but do not for a second think we have slipped from lead dog on the world stage.

The ad SUCKS!!!

Obama is a fraud! Not only have his supporters "cleansed" other blog/web sites of criticism toward him by using unethical means, now the Messiah is cleansing his own website of anything that reflects badly on his previous stands on issues. Anyone who would vote for this guy has to be crazy!

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/07/14/2008-07-14_barack_obama_purges_web_site_critique_of.html

Obama loves to say that we have to withdraw from Iraq "responsibly." There's nothing responsible about his plan. According to U.S. commanders on the ground, it may not even be logistically possible. Does Obama even care? He says that when he's elected he'd give the military a new mission -- to end the war. Conditions in Iraq, let alone winning, are marginalia.

There are two possible interpretations -- either Obama is dangerously sincere, or he's a cynical operator playing duplicitous politics with matters of war and peace. Watch for the answer over the next several months when voters start telling him he's just another political crook and liar!

Yeah! Check out his flipflop on issues!

[Flipper Needs Help]

Children are smarter than Obama! Maybe he needs to get some of them to help him with his campaign; might be better than the advice he’s getting on ads, strategies, policies, etc.

Barack Obama is for banning guns in America. He is considered by those who have dealt with him as a bit more than just a little self-righteous.

At a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas, he asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said: ''Well, dumb-a.., stop clapping!”

RUN AWAY; THE DARK MAN IS COMING FOR YOUR WHITE WOMEN!

… what a bunch of simps…

“Giving America Back To Its Owners”

Swing and a miss for Obama

[Iraq/Iran War]

We have to get OUT of Iraq. We cannot continue to RECYCLE the troops forever under STOP-LOSS.

If we don't get out soon we need to RESTART the Draft. From ages 18 to 42 everybody goes, no excuses, no deferments.

Oh! and if we attack Iran you can be sure we will start the Draft, pronto...we will have to.

[Out With the DEMS]

Under the leadership of the Democrats in Congress:

Inflation is at its highest in 20 plus years.

The dollar is at its lowest in 27 years.

We have a housing melt-down.

Food and oil prices are rising at a ridiculous rate.

and unemployment is at its highest in 20 years.

It is time to unite this country and lift each other off the ground to work to better this great country of ours.

Take back America! Out with the do-nothing Democrats!!

McCain '08!!!

Good, we need the drafts. Might take some of the idiots who post to this blog out of action. I've given my time in Iraq, how about some of the rest of you. Especially the cowards who are so afraid of a restoration of the draft.

[The Dead]

Bush War casualty count increases to 4,119 troops killed in Iraq and counting...

http://icasualties.org/oif/

Reporter Mark Smith wants Bush to do an Obama and meddle in their consumption habits: “Why have you not called on Americans to drive less and turn down their thermostats?”

Bush: “People are smart enough to figure out whether they should drive less…it’s presumptuous to do so…they can decide. Of course they should conserve…let them decide.”

Wow, what a concept...let people make their OWN decisions over what is best for them...

Now compare that to this Obama quote:

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said. "That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added."

Let me ask you folks...which do you want?

A. To make your own decisions on what is best for you and your family?

or

B. Some government bureaucrat telling you how much food you can buy, what you can drive, how much you can use your AC, etc?

I'll go with the LESS GOVERNMENT, MORE FREEDOM option A.

Under the leadership of the Republicon Robot called Dubya-2:

Inflation is at its highest in 20 plus years.

The dollar is at its lowest in 27 years.

We have a housing melt-down.

Food and oil prices are rising at a ridiculous rate.

and unemployment is at its highest in 20 years.

It is time to unite this country and lift each other off the ground to work to better this great country of ours.

Take back America! Out with the do-nothing corrupt Republicons!!

Obama/Biden '08!!!

"Giving America Back To Its Owners!"

11:28 as a Democrat I am totally for a Draft. As long as there are NO deferments for anybody.

No Dick Cheney 5 deferment crap at all.

First allow me to get a pet peeve of mine out of the way: The term "draft" is a euphemism for what is actually "confiscation of labor resources." The Defense Department can get all the military personnel it wants on an all-volunteer basis; it could simply raise wages.

Some argue that depending on an all-volunteer military is too expensive. That's wrong. The true cost of having a man in the military is what society has to forgo, what economists call opportunity costs. Say a man worked producing televisions for which he was paid $1,000 a month. If he's drafted, he's not producing $1,000 worth of televisions. The sacrificed $1,000 worth of televisions is part of the cost of his being in the military whether he's paid $68 a month or nothing a month.

One effect of the draft is to understate the full cost of military operations. Simple economics suggests that if the cost of a resource is understated, there will be bias toward greater and more wasteful use of that resource.

Therefore, a draft would tend to give rise to greater, not less, use of the military. Today's all-volunteer military consists of high-quality soldiers and fewer misfits than yesteryear.

The military draft is an offense to the values of liberty, causes misallocation of resources, and there's a higher risk of getting a bunch of misfits.

[ChickHawks]

These 'Young Republicans" make me want to puke with their lame excuses as to why they will not serve in the military.
These ChickHawks cheerlead War as long as their butts aren't put in harms way...disgusting.

Watch for yourself...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFGit_tZDqs

I say, Bring back the Draft!

Do nothing congress? Really, tell Bush to stop Vetoing bills and then we could have progress!

[Bring Back the Draft]

11:41 what a bunch of crap!

In the entire history of the USA we have NEVER had a War last this long without a Draft.

A Draft with NO deferments means the pain of losing a loved one is shared equally across all the classes of our society. From the ditch digger to the Fortune 500 CEO, their children will serve and bleed together.

11:30

You dont play nice with the earth and other countries... we have Oil and Housing crisis. You can do whatever you want... Obama is giving you smart advice not telling you want to do. What your family wants now is not best for it down the road. You drive your SUV and keep your AC at 72 but i dont want you to complain about the energy crisis. Everyone needs to do their part to insure that everyone in this country gets by these hard times

12:00

Thank you Mr. or Mrs. Socialist!!!

11:50

Bush is vetoing all that excess spending that Dems want to do to put our economy even further at risk.

Out with ALL Democrats!!!

Does he mention the DNC vote voiding and his endorsement of it?

Does he mention his "pledge" to ignore Florida Democratic voters before the primary in an effort to pander to voters in other states?

Does he mention his line that our votes couldn't be counted because it wouldn't be "fair" because he decided not campaign for them?

Does he mention his line that our votes might count if he got to say how they were cast--an "acceptable formula" as he called it?

Does he mention that every Florida voter is only half a person for the purpose of the Convention that will nominate him?

Does he mention that he who couldn't care less if your vote counts or not except as it affects his own personal ambitions.

Did he draw an analogy between his tactics in this nominating process and George Bush's campaign following the 2000 vote?

Does he mention that he thinks Florida voters are gormless sheep who will vote for him no matter what he personally does to them and their votes?

[Flagophile]

Latest polls show Obama slapping McCain not only in Michigan but also in Iowa and Colorado.

PA and OH polls will show the same.

Obama by 50 electoral votes.

Obama is an absolute fraud. His word means nothing. The man is deceitful and
deceptive, has no character, and cannot be trusted. He has changed positions and/or
lied on the following:

1 -FISA
2 -Campaign finance
3 -The Iraq war
4 -Reverend Wright
5 -Men he knew like Rezko, Ayers, Pfleger, and Weathers
6 -Date of his conception
7 -Opposition to handguns
8 -Israel and Jerusalem
9 -Payroll taxes
10-Capital gains taxes
11-Abortion
12-Wearing a lapel Flag Pin

Yo Fagophile,

We thought the polls didn't matter!!!

You are one sorry dude!!!

McCain by 50 Electoral Votes. Projected this AM by Rasmussen!!!

[Republican ChickenHawks]

Making the decision to go to War is a simple decision.

"A War is justified if you are willing to send YOUR son".
"If you aren't willing to send your son to War how can you send someone elses son to War".

additions to 12:19

13 Iran support
14 Not being raised a Muslim
15 57 total states
16 Not knowing Pastor Wright
17 Jessie Jackson and his "nuts"

Wow, that was one lame ad.

What's Obama's opinion on the surge today? this morning? Heck, this hour?

He's a joke for Commander in Chief or any other leadership position.

As a "community activist" he couldn't even turn around south Chicago. There was no way to go, but, up.

Obama made South Chicago worse!

Obama = McGovern = UnElectable

11:58-

Which part of it is "crap", which i am guessing you mean "false"?

I would love to hear this...please explain.

[Flagophile]

12:21,

I said national polls don't matter.

Not only that, I referred to Obama's poll numbers in the individual states and was criticized because those surveys were taken a few weeks back.

At least I can read.

[Flagophile]

Oh, and by the way, although I don't think they matter, particularly at this point, the latest QPac poll shows Obama up by 9 points.

wow -- compared to McCain's ads this is great. Compared to Obama's other ads -- kind of lacking.

McCain should just stop campaigning. It's not like he has any chance at all.

stop campaigning? he may not win but he has a responsibility for all of us who don't want obama!

Bring back the Draft-

Ask any soldier whether they want someone who is not trained and who is not interested in being trained to serve side by side with them during war.

RUN AWAY; THE DARK MAN IS COMING FOR YOUR WHITE WOMEN AND CHILDREN!

… what a bunch of dinks…

Obama/Biden ’08

“Giving America Back To Its Owners”

Given the tenor of the country vs. Bush and Congress, it would seem that "change" would win without a problem.

He should be up 10% or more.

But, Obama keeps sticking his foot in his mouth, is thin-skinned, flip-flops daily, and only leading in polls within a dead-heat statistical range.

It's way early and folks are realizing the Would be Emperor has no clothes.

Shoulda chosen Hillary.

[Flagophile]

These guys are great.

Obama is leading by comfortable margins in every state that he needs.

He is up by 9 points in the latest national poll (not that it's really important at this point).

And now he is supposed to be up by 10 or more!

Next week, when he is up by 10 points or more, they will say he should be up by 20!

Flag-

None of it really matters at this point. Dukakis was ahead by about 10 points around this time in 1988, and Carter was ahead by about 15 points in 1980...and we know how well that worked out.

I wouldn't put ANY faith into ANY polls at this point. In many cases, we don't even know WHO was polled.

Pollsters can pretty much skew them as they see fit.

12:12

Under the Clinton Administration we were in an economic surplus and under Bush we are 4 trillion further in debt. You tell me who is more conservative! You poor uneducated fool.

All polls became useless about 5-years ago due to cell phones. They just didn’t tell anyone cause they needed to sell the soap.

Face it, the more Obama talks, the more his numbers go down. Why do you think he turned down the offer to do 10 townhalls?

McCain does takes questions from the public almost every day to the point he's giving the mircophone to folks that may ask him a tough question.

Obama can't talk off-script without sticking his foot in his mouth.

This Would be Emperor has no clothes.

Obama = McGovern = UnElectable

McSame = Dubya & Dickey = More dead young American men and women for corporate profit and daddy's revenge.

McCain=Nixon=Hoover=Bush

I dig how the republican hacks are trying to spin the illiteracy of McSame toward Obama. It’s freaking hoot. McSame can’t even say the Pledge of Allegiance without a teleprompter, and the geriatric p-s himself when in front of big corwds.

… you pathetic pinheads just kill me!

Actually McCain does better without a teleprompter.

He's old-school that way...he don't need no stinkin' technology!

Have you ever heard Obama try to speak without a teleprompter?...try counting the "umm's"...

[IJArne]

A good Commander In Chief would have sent in the adequate number of troops in the beginning and listened to his military leaders on the ground, not worry about his re-election. (Which is what 'W' did when he refused to send in the troops needed, after 'Mission Accomplished!') Obama has never changed his view's on this 'dumb' war. He has said in countless debates, interviews, etc., that we need to be as smart getting out as we were careless getting into this war. He has said he would listen to the generals on the ground. The surge is working, Obama has never denied that; but our President 'W' sacrificed many lives by not listening to his military leaders. If 'W' had listened, we would never have invaded Iraq! Now that we are there, we need a President who understands that decisions should be made after investigating all of the facts, and making the necessary changes/adjustments to reach the safest and best result of this mess, 'W's' legacy. A true Commander and Chief leads with courage and intelligence. We need that kind of leader for America. WE need Barack Obama.

[G.W. Bush-wacked]

Bank failures are just your imagination and I don't have a conflict of interest with the oil industry. McCain and I will polute Florida's beaches for no good reason.

"I readily concede it won't produce a barrel of oil tomorrow, but it will reverse the psychology," Bush told a White House news conference — his first since late April.

And on my way out of office, I am cheerfully kicking senior citizens and soldiers in the gut.

[Michelle in Tampa]

I love it how these Republicans trolling for McCain points just LOVE to prop up their "idol" while bashing Obama for perceived "flip-flops." The REAL flip-flopper is McCain, and this Web site: http://www.alternet.org/election08/90956/?page=entire lists 61 of them (and the list is not exhaustive), including links to MCCAIN'S OWN STATEMENTS in which he contradicts himself.

Some of the most notable ones:

1. McCain thought Bush's warrantless wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.

2. McCain insisted that everyone, even "terrible killers," "the worst kind of scum of humanity," and detainees at Guantanamo Bay, "deserve to have some adjudication of their cases," even if that means "releasing some of them." McCain now believes the opposite.

3. He opposed indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. When the Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it "one of the worst decisions in the history of this country."

4. In February, McCain reversed course on prohibiting waterboarding.

5. McCain favored closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay before he was against it.

...

8. McCain supported moving "toward normalization of relations" with Cuba. Now he believes the opposite.

9. McCain believed the United States should engage in diplomacy with Hamas. Now he believes the opposite.

10. McCain believed the United States should engage in diplomacy with Syria. Now he believes the opposite.

11. McCain is both for and against a "rogue state rollback" as a focus of his foreign policy vision.

...

18. McCain was against expanding the GI Bill before he was for it.

19. McCain defended "privatizing" Social Security. Now he says he's against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)

20. McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of r@pe and incest. Now he doesn't.

21. McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.

22. He argued that the NRA should not have a role in the Republican Party's policy making. Now he believes the opposite.

...

Need I go on??? You can't trust "Weathervane" McCain!

[Michelle in Tampa]

And exactly what is WRONG with asking Americans to drive less, pollute less, pollute their own BODIES with less junk, and conserve on energy? So you WANT to be an overconsuming, ignorant, selfish glutton?

Man, conservatives are such BABIES...

[Reality]

John McCain promises only to continue on the destructive course of this country, it's people, it's resources and it's economy.

I really like John's ad - it shows gas at about $2.23/gallon. Wasn't it his wife who said "the only way to get around Arizona is by private plan".

McSame hates your children and your children's children. Oh yeah, he doesn't think much of the active military either. And the POW's, McSame forgot about them a looonnnngggg time ago.

[TLN]

And speaking of babies, Michelle, doesn't McCain want to deliver hot bottled water to dehydrated babies?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2JA-jX2SV2k

"Actually McCain does better without a teleprompter."

Hahahahahahahahaaa... whooooo, you're a pip... wanna buy a bridge?

"He's old-school that way...he don't need no stinkin' technology!"

I didn't think Schools were invented yet, when McSame was a kid?"

"Have you ever heard Obama try to speak without a teleprompter?"

Yes; he rocks, and that's what scares the hell out of you boneheads...

"...try counting the "umm's"..."

If you mean when McSame gives his address... it's 17.

Michelle, Honey:

You really need a little anger management. Typical liberal, Dem, women. Mad at everything!!!

Great roundup of the facts DEMs - the poor little McCain Toad was bombed clean off the thread faster than he could cut and paste his lies and spin!

[jjackso1]

Great ad. After watching Senator Obama's speech today on Foreign Policy I know again why I have been behind this man for 15 months. We are winning Florida!

Uh, no 4:39.

We actually work for a living.

McCain speaks in a townhall format every day. Obama avoids them like the plague. McCain actually GIVES the microphone to folks that disagree with him to answer their question. Obama studders and stumbles and has 5 additional press conferences to explain what he meant.

Obama is not fit to be president - he can't make a decision and stick to it.

Then, it's, "well uh, maybe er, uh, what I said was, what had happened was...oh...the right-wing distorted my words."

Poor little baby.

Even the conservative (sic) LA Times and Slate (double sic) are telling him to grow up and get thicker skin!

Nobama is worse than Carter. He's McGovern without a spine and that my friends, is why he's UnElectable.

Boy it looks like the Obama Troll is sweating bullets! He'd better, cause if the Messiah doesn't have the balls to pick Clinton as his VP, he's a dead duck!! Slowly but surely the Obama campaign will fall apart. There is no longer any need for a McCain Toadie. Obama is killing himself with no help required. Keep it up Obamabats, the more you post the worse it gets for the Great One!!!

Terrible ad! After watching Senator Obama's speech today on Foreign Policy I know again why I have been behind McCain for 15 months. Obama is a liar and wants to keep us fighting in Afgahanistan. If we are going to stay at war I'm going with the better commander in chief. Go John McCain!!!

Obama is just like most of the Dems who post on here: arrogant, thin skinned and cowards!!!

[Jeff from FL]

What a joke ad by Obama.

Obama is supported by terrorist group Hamas.

Obama wants to negotiate with terrorist state Iran without pre-conditions.

Obama is DANGEROUS to America's national security.

This is a good ad:

http://www.youtube.com/user/johnmccaindotcom?ob=4

Barack Obama is a dirty racist.

Where is the Jeremiah Wright ads?

They are coming!

At least Hillary digs her heels in and fights:

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

Video Script:

Obama: My assessment is that the surge has not worked.

Obama: I would end this war, and I would have our troops out within 16 months.

Obama: I will immediately begin to remove our troops.

Murtha: I think the surge is working.

Lieberman: The surge is working.

Clinton: We've begun to change tactics in Iraq, and in some areas, particularly in Al Anbar Province, it's working.

Gibbs: The security situation has improved, much as everybody admitted it would if we put more troops on the ground.

Axelrod: I mean, he never disputed the fact that if you throw a surge of American soldiers in an area that you can make a difference.

Obama: I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is gonna solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse.

Reporter: You did not refer to the 16 month timetable. Does that mean you can tell us today that you will not change the 16 month timetable?

Obama: (smiles and breathes) Uh... I... (scratches head)

[Ginny]

Excellent, on-point ad. As long as we live and breathe, we can change!

Sorry, Ginny,

No change in that ad. Obama's shown he's one of the most liberal politicians in the country and changes his mind more than his underwear based on who he's talking to.

Besides, he changed South Chicago. To worse than it was before.

Many of those folks in south Chicago voted for Alan Keyes because they were so upset over Obama's change!

Proof is in the pudding. Obama's change is a liberal, socialist platform that has been proven time and again, not to work.

[ginnylazar]

Sorry date person. I'm from Illinois and Obama was my Senator before I moved south. He is the real deal and will be the best thing to happen to America.
I'm surprised, given the mess this country is in, that you just want more of the same. I want a big CHANGE!

Just wait until the ads showing Obama as a racist airs.

[ginny]

Just wait until the ads showing Barack Obama as a RACIST airs.
