McCain campaign

Considering Obama's outspent McCain close to 4-1, and there's nothing but Obama ads everywhere you turn, with Obama's

surrogates spinning every bit of news in Obama's favor... why do you suppose the race is still as tight as it is? Isn't this an indication of how he'd run the country?

Spend, spend, spend -- other people's money.

"office space"

Another actor, who we all know are known for heir "analytical" skills, backing Obama... wow, that really impresses me. I think Obama's surrogates are working overtime with these press releases, doesn't matter how inconsequential it is.

I was mayor of El Cerrito

Palin's a governor - with the highest approval rating in the country. She has more executive experience than Obama.

Barack the closer

Biden keeps making gaffes that make us wonder whether subconsciously he doesn't want to be VP on Obama's ticket. One was when he said Clinton probably would have done a better job as VP; another one just today: Biden said that if Obama is elected, he "guarantees" within 6 months we will be attacked or some major international incident.

McCain camp questions obama fundraising

Wait a minute, Obama's outspent McCain 4-1 !!? his surrogates are spinning every bit of information in Obama's favor, ads everywhere you turn, deceptive ads about McCain, Oprah's backing him, Kennedy's backing him.....yet, the race is still very "tight" considering its two weeks from November 4. You call this a successful campaign?? Is this indicative of how he'd run the country? Spend, spend, spend taxpayer's money with nothing to show for it?

Noonan

Palin must be pretty intimidating to the Obama surrogates and

the media, or, maybe its the fact that she has more experience than Obama. The fact that Biden is making serious gaffes all over the place, and you don't hear anything about it, is proof the media is biased and unfair. Biden made a very disturbing comment just today, regarding what would

happen within 6 months if Obama gets elected. Where is the story??!

Palin makeup

Its not at all unusual for professionals who are in the public

eye to have clothing and makeup allowances that may sound extraordinary to normal people. Obama campaign take note: a certain person's makeup and hairstyle(maybe bangs would help?)is in dire need of a makeover!

McCain camp:

Its true, Obama's campaign and his surrogates have been much

more negative. Obama's fans are the cruelest, most mean-spirited people. The cruel treatment of Palin may actually backfire on Obama...

Your daily (Michelle) Obama

This is a ridiculous article. Its not unusual at all for professional people in the public eye, to have a generous clothing and makeup allowance. Its absolutely critical for someone running for a high office to look professional and make a good impression.

(Michelle Obama could use a makeover, too).

Spend more time thinking about Obama's weak healthcare plan

or his "spread the wealth" message instead, or, his total lack

of experience.

Original article: A tale of two faces

A tale of two faces

Keep distracting from the real issues, like: Obama has less experience than Palin. If he gets elected, there will be no checks and balances. The thought of all those liberal, tax and spend, "spread the wealth" socialists with our taxpayer dollars is a scary thought indeed. But, keep talking about Palin's wardrobe instead, nobody cares about jobs or how Obama's "spread the wealth" policies will drive companies out of business.

Monday, October 27, 2008 08:27 PM

who's responsible for Palin's new wardrobe

Why don't you discuss Obama's "spread the wealth" comment instead? Or, Obama's total lack of any practical experience?

Palin has more experience than Obama. Obama supporters are

voting for an inexperienced guy out of nowhere, who's buddies are Ayers, who as recently as 2001 said he wished he had done more bombing; Wright, who Obama has patronized for the past

20 years until Americans started questioning why; you're putting your trust in a guy with no experience who wants to make some major philosophical changes to our country. Stop worrying about Palin's clothes, and really, really think about

Obama instead. Americans should be concerned about keeping jobs

in the U.S. and creating more jobs...tax increases only kill jobs and opportunities.

GOP group launches Rev. Wright ad

Obama IS scary. He has no experience, he's buddy with Ayers (bomber), Wright (anti-American), Rezko (crook). Obama wants to make major philosophical change "spread the wealth",(welfare); increase taxes -- which will kill any new jobs.

Obama's found a "niche" to becoming president..do you really think he believes half the stuff he preaches? I think not! He's too educated, too intelligent... he's just following through on his longtime goal to make history.

Dangerous threesomes

Obama-Pelosi-Reid is scarier than hell. No checks and balances ---just what this country needs more of. Let's spend money on more programs like ACORN, lets increase these refundable tax credits, lets spend money on preschool sex education,etc. We need more welfare, less jobs.

Florida governor extends early-voting hours

Obama's remark that businesses should give their employees a "day off" on voting day is very irresponsible, totally clueless. Has he even considered what it would mean for businesses (especially in this economy)to pay for an extra,

unplanned "day off"? This kind of statement just reinforces how clueless Obama is about the "real world". No wonder he believes we should "spread the wealth"... he has no idea what kind of challenges businesses face on a daily basis.

Michelle Obama

Not a fan of Michelle "Omarosa" Obama, aka "Cruella de Ville".

She has an edge to her, and doesn't even seem comfortable in her current role campaigning for her husband. In interviews, she comes across negative, then seems to catch herself being negative, and tries to backtrack and smooth it over.

how obama might just win ohio

I'm an Ohioan voting for McCain -- first time I've voted Republican. Creating jobs is the key to economic growth.

You can't be anti-business like Obama, and create jobs at the same time.

when filth is not enough

Obama's getting donations from people with pre-paid credit cards, there's no way of identifying them. They could be foreigners who are not allowed to contribute, they could be felons, they could be our enemies trying to get a Democrat elected.
