Minor protest interrupts Obama speech

About a dozen protesters started  chanting "Barack go home, Barack go home," interrupting Obama's speech at the BankUnited Center at University of Miami.

The crowd started to chant back: "Yes we can. Yes we can."

Obama tried to quell the protesters by asking them to allow him to have his say. University police surrounded the naysayers within two minutes and pulled them out of the stands.

The protesters brought homemade signs, some of which looked like they had the letters "KKK" on them, which confused Buzz because a number of the protesters were African-Americans.

Paid protesters by the Republican Party. Have they NO shame!

Obama is NOT wanted in MIAMI!

I'm guessing the protesters may have been part of the Uhuru Movement? Anyone know?

Barack got his first prostest in his 18 month campaigning. Barack 1 Johnny boy 20-30?

Trust me on this… it’s only the beginning of what the Repugnants are willing to do to keep a ½ black man from becoming POTUS. America is rich, old, white man territory, and thought of a ½ black man become POTUS is freaking them out beyond belief.

McCain/Palin “Honor Last”

Marco Rubio and his wingnut fascist pals. Have they NO shame!

Don't confuse this with the grass roots anti-Palin protest in Alaska, where the protestors actually outnumbered the pro-Palin sheep.

Obama is a trouble maker.

They thought they were going to see "Hitler Rap" at the Funkatorium.

The GOP will do anything to get elected. Like when Bush lied about McCain fathering an illegitimate black child in 2000.

"John McCain has made it clear this week he DOESN'T UNDERSTAND what's happening on Wall Street any better than Barack Obama does. But on Thursday, he took his populist riffing up a notch and found his scapegoat for financial panic -- Christopher Cox, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission....

Mr. McCain clearly wants to distance himself from the Bush Administration. But this assault on Mr. Cox is both FALSE and deeply unfair. It's also UNPRESIDENTAL...."

if li'l johnnie mcBUSH is "unpresidental" exactly what does that make sandy zamBONER?

In a crisis, voters want steady, calm leadership, not easy, misleading answers that will do nothing to help. Mr. McCain is sounding like a candidate searching for a political foil rather than a genuine solution."

McCain is a bed wetter.

Does Bob the Builder know that the Obama camp has stolen his saying?

Obama Go Home - Yes we can...

Okay, go home then...

White folks greed runs a world in need

[Rev Wright]

The problem with the republican party is rich white people

The McCain folks are awful quiet today. Guess the staff is busy with the Palin events.

"This morning Senator McCain gave a speech in which his big solution to this worldwide economic crisis was to blame me for it.

This is a guy who's spent nearly three decades in Washington, and after spending the entire campaign saying I haven't been in Washington long enough, he apparently now is willing to assign me responsibility for all of Washington's failures.

Now, I think it's a pretty clear that Senator McCain is a little panicked right now. At this point he seems to be willing to say anything or do anything or change any position or violate any principal to try and win this election, and I've got to say it's kind of sad to see. That's not the politics we need.

It's also been disappointing to see my opponent's reaction to this economic crisis. His first reaction on Monday was to stand up and repeat the line he's said over and over again throughout this campaign -- 'the fundamentals of the economy are strong' -- the comment was so out of touch that even George Bush's White House couldn't agree with it."

No one on this blog is impressed with your childish antic blogging under my name. It is understandable for you to do so because you don't have the intelligence to debate with me.

Maybe you and Sarah Palin can go to five different schools before you earn a worthless communications degree.

The truth stings doesn't it little boy?

[Tom]

But, it's actually pretty amusing watching you fluster and quiver like a little baby because of your inability to hang with me mentally.

You've spent all this time focusing on me instead of any issues.

Ok, tough guy Nail is on the scene. Let's check your mental aptitude. You must've been a Larry Craig supporter since you're fixated on men's restrooms.

Tap your foot twice, Nail! LOL!

These blogs have turned into a giant kindergarden class.

take note mccainiacs....that's what a rally is supposed to look like. filled with people!

why all this dog and pony show of an election, we should just start shooting eachother

that's what a rally is supposed to look like. filled with people bussed in from all walks of the earth!

Oh please, this is ONE example of a bunch of idiots heckling Obama. How about all the times these liberal jerks heckle McCain? Heck, they did it during his convention speech at least 5 times! They have absolutely no class.

If anything, this is just a taste of Obama's own medicine. He's used to this sort of thing as a street-level rabble rouser and agitator in the South Side of Chicago.

HEY!!

wouldnt it have been GRAND had the DRUNK'S plan to privatize social security had passed....aided, of course, the NUMBER ONE MAVERICK*, johnnie mcBUSH??!!??

*a maverick, save for the 90+% of the time he had his nose so far up the DUNKS'S butt he couldnt see daylight!!

Thanks for calling them idiots. There are plenty of blacks who don't support Obama. If you recall this time last year he didn't have much support from African Americans, some of that has not changed.

pill time, 4.15!!

you have been neglecting ur meds, sweetie!!

probaly better than 95%, most likely including colin powell and condiliar lice.

here, take 'em....you WILL feel better, honey!!

Florida is going to shock many and go blue to the Dems in this upcoming election. We are at record unemployment in the state. Florida is #1 in the nation with most jobs lost and has the second highest unemployment (%) in the nation.

ok first of all you are ignorant to want this guy to win not because of his race but because of his shadiness. he lies and lies and conforms his words to who he is talking to. and just so you all know, the REPUBLICANS are the ones who fought for blacks but now you guys are turning your back on them because not only you and not all of you, but all lazy people just want money and benefits handed out to them for doing nothing. so what if i make more than 250,000 a year? i worked for that money, is it not my right to help who i want to help however i want? not democrats taking my money from me. c'mon lazy people!!! stop complaining Get a job!

Florida is not going to go blue. Count up the people who voted in the Republican primary and the democratic primary. See who had more people vote and then take 100,000 off for measure on the R side and still more people voted for a republican than a democrat. Now I know you are thinking some R's will vote for Obama, but they will probably cancel out the PUMA's that will vote for McCain.

[values voter]

BOTTOM LINE: JEB, KATIE HARRIS, AND A FEW CROOKED LAWYERS MADE SURE THAT FRAT BOY, PHONY IN A FLIGHT SUIT W/COD PIECE was INSTALLED.

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH of the CONSITITUTION BEING spit upon???

It's especailly personal for anyone whose had to bury a brother or sister who died to DEFEND IT.

LET'S RESTORE OUR COUNTRY.......UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.

Guess WHO WANTS TO SEE US DIVIDED????
GUESS WHO WANTS TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER????

Now, ask yourself which campaign has been hateful, USED FEAR TO MANIPULATE, and has the most to gain from maintaining the status quo, even though THE COUNTRY IS UNRAVELING.

I bid you all good day.

Power to the Peaceful~ Obama~Biden

The son of a Democrap breaks into Gov. Palins Email.....
The son a Democrap get caught crossing the border with illegal Aliens,guns, drugs and a child.
Bill Clinton eased the restrictions on mortgages and now their are millions with bad loans and in foreclosure.
The Democraps control Congress now renamed "Do Nothing Congress".
Obama hasn't shown up the Senate job he was elected to do for over 18 months..yet he collects a paycheck for it..
Whats next..? Obama wants to build a waterfront ballpark in St.Pete?
Obama Bin Biden and the Democraps are the reason for our current crisis.
Don't believe it...? The CEO's of companies going bust on WallStreet are Democraps!
So why in the heck would we want these ASSCLOWNS in the White House! Haven't the Democraps done enough?

[Dr_Dug]

values voter...you need to be drug tested! Your ideas and position are wrong and biased. Must be because your an AssClown!

On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing
health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur
after the VP debate on 10/2.

There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info.
Generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there
to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. I have
already seen a few short blurbs about this - the 'health problem' cited in
those articles was aneurysm. Probably many of you have heard the same
rumblings.

However, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like
this Obama strategy will be a go. Therefore, it seems that the best
strategy is to get out in front of this Obama maneuver, spell it out in
detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.

So, let's start mixing this one up and cut the Obamites off at the pass -
send this info out to as many people as you can - post about it on websites
and blogs - etc.

McCain's Scapegoat

Wall Street Journal
Friday, September 19, 2008

John McCain has made it clear this week he doesn't understand what's happening on Wall Street any better than Barack Obama does. But on Thursday, he took his populist riffing up a notch and found his scapegoat for financial panic -- Christopher Cox, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

To give readers a flavor of Mr. McCain untethered, we'll quote at length: "Mismanagement and greed became the operating standard while regulators were asleep at the switch. The primary regulator of Wall Street, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) kept in place trading rules that let speculators and hedge funds turn our markets into a casino. They allowed naked short selling -- which simply means that you can sell stock without ever owning it. They eliminated last year the uptick rule that has protected investors for 70 years. Speculators pounded the shares of even good companies into the ground.

"The chairman of the SEC serves at the appointment of the President and has betrayed the public's trust. If I were President today, I would fire him."

Wow. "Betrayed the public's trust." Was Mr. Cox dishonest? No. He merely changed some minor rules, and didn't change others, on short-selling. String him up! Mr. McCain clearly wants to distance himself from the Bush Administration. But this assault on Mr. Cox is both false and deeply unfair. It's also un-Presidential.

Take "naked" shorting, in which an investor sells a stock short -- betting that it will fall in price -- without first borrowing the shares he is selling from an investor who owns them. The SEC has never condoned the practice, and since 2005 it has clamped down on short selling in any stock that shows evidence of naked shorting. The SEC further tightened its rules against naked shorting just hours before Mr. McCain excoriated Mr. Cox for doing nothing.

The rules announced Wednesday will increase penalties and close loopholes that exempted broker-dealers from the rules against naked shorting. They also make it clear that deliberately selling short a stock whose shares cannot be borrowed is fraud under the Securities Exchange Act. That's all to the good, we suppose; fraud is fraud. But regular short selling is not fraud. It adds valuable information to the market about what investors believe to be the price direction of a stock. Demonizing short-sellers as a band of criminals, or barring short-selling outright in financial stocks, as regulators in the U.K. did Thursday, removes information from the market.

Then there's Mr. McCain's tirade against the "uptick rule," a Depression-era chestnut that investors could only short stock after a rise in that stock's price. The SEC staff studied the effect of the uptick rule on prices for years, in a controlled experiment involving thousands of stocks. It found the rule had no effect. Other studies, including those that examined the uptick rule's effect on stocks disclosing bad news, also found that it "protected" no one. The SEC's permanent staff has long supported repeal and the SEC's commissioners voted to do so unanimously in June 2007.

While he was at it, Mr. McCain added the wholly unsupported assertion that "speculators pounded the shares of even good companies into the ground." It wasn't very long ago that he blamed speculators on the long side for sky-high oil prices. Then oil prices fell. Now Mr. McCain wants voters to believe speculators are responsible for driving mismanaged financial companies to ruin. The irony is that this critique puts Mr. McCain in the same camp as some of the Wall Street CEOs who have led their firms so poorly. They also want someone (else) to blame.

In case Mr. McCain is interested, overall short interest in financial companies actually declined by 20% between July and the end of August. That's right: Far from driving this crisis, shorts were net buyers of financial stocks this summer, as they must buy stocks back to close their positions and realize their gains (or losses).

In a crisis, voters want steady, calm leadership, not easy, misleading answers that will do nothing to help. Mr. McCain is sounding like a candidate searching for a political foil rather than a genuine solution. He'll never beat Mr. Obama by running as an angry populist like Al Gore, circa 2000.

[Marvella]

The Romans conquered by dividing by ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, etc. Now ask yourself if you want to be conquered. These idiots that shouted at Sen.Obamas speech for him to "go back" need to ask themselves if they need to "go back" as well.Morons! Obama~ Biden for PEACE.

[Smarty]

According to Democrap thinking...Obama is a cheat and liar. Edwards is a Democrap that lied to the American people and his wife.
We don't need four more years of lies and cheating....We don't want Obama Bin Biden!

[Dr_Dug]

Marvella...the Romans are also gone...defeated. And...since your a history buff... they also started wars,detroyed other nations, and murdered their leader....E tu Brute'.
And to even the scale....the Democraps have done the same to McCain.
Typical response..but remember...recently the son of a Democrap was caught crossing the border with illegals(including guns,drugs, money and a six year old girl).
Also...the son of a Democrap hacked into Gov.Palins email account...committing a FEDERAL CRIME.
You want to explain that...you AssClown!

[Saw it on TV..]

Obama backs the bailout...just saw it on T.V. That means he's FOR taking taxpayer money and giving it to Wallstreet. How's does that feel..blue collar worker? You may not be able to pay your bills...but Obama feels good about Wallstreet getting their paychecks. Another AssClown move...right Dr_Dug?

[Dr_Dug]

Yup..
