Would our country be well served if McCain died in office leaving us with Palin as President? I think not. she has not had the world experience, the education or the curiosity to learn that is required of a President.
The truth must be told and exposing Palin as unfit for office is not being disrespectful or condescending or sexist. This is proving that Palin does not havve what it takes to be our VP or President.
Obama’s message rings of a “Beautiful day coming to America” which is similar to Reagan’s “Its morning in america again”
Beautiful day coming to America
U2 - beautiful day

Obamacan's - “The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.”
William F. Buckley, Jr. quote
The real change team for the last 19 months
Change we can believe in.
Vote Obama/Biden '08
McCain has become the punchline to his own bad joke. The McCain of ten years ago would despise himself now.
How is Obama honoring those that died in 9/11....watch how Obama throws his flower watch how John McCain and his wife Cindy gently lays theirs down.
(Actions do speak so loud and clear.)
I noticed CNN deleted Obama throwing the flower when they showed the scene at the 9/11 memorial
If McCain really was honorable, he could step up at any time, and tell his supporter, and the GOP echo chamber to stop the racist, mocking, personal attacks, bu t no. John McCain is MIA.
A prediction. Biden is setting himself to walk away from the campagn by saying that Hillary would have made a good president and would have probably been a better VP pick than himself. Watch out, I see Hillary being brought in to close the Deal that OBAMA CANT... That will be commical and also to little to late. But either way it will be a win win situation for Hillary. I look forward to the OBama Supporters/ Hillary Haters to praise her; as they need her to get there Chosen One elected. Ha, Don't hold your breath. Its as good as done, Obama is tanking!!
Isn't it true? You have to agree, otherwise you are helping the Democrats.
To me this is exactly the dishonesty in government we want to change, and Sarah Palin is an emblem of what's wrong with Washington, exteeme opions and dishonesty.
Why do states prosecute car dealers for deceptive ads, but let Swift Boat style lies go unpunished?
As a Christian, this is what I pray to God..i am a Puritan and my ancestors forefathers that came with the Mayflower!
War is never harmless.
Ex Democrat and Hillary Supporter
He should have picked Hillary and there would not have been mutiny.
McCain spouts off before thinking, which would probably get us in a war with the whole world, and he also goes whichever way the Bush wind blows. Palin also shoots from the hip with her limited experience and knowledge. Both think they know everything and , arrogantly, will not feel the need to consult with experts.
Obama has already said he will consult with Joe Biden, Clinton, and others, including across political lines, to draw on their long experience in matters of importance.
Who do you want for president, someone who will mouth off, act alone, and damn the consequences,to the rest of us, or someone who will consult with experts before acting?
In other words, do you want a president and vice-president who can THINK or do you want someone who shoots off their mouth, nukes and moose guns before thinking?
I'd much rather have the THINKING people in charge of my children's future, thank you.
When would they stop this meaningless fires and refocus on the contents of the subject??? It's about leadership for a country, not a movement for equal rights of women. (I say this as a woman.)
''So they said she was doing what she was told. Then desperately called Sarah Palin a liar.''
They said this or not? Whatever, but these are all true! See her interview, she pretended so hard to be something she is not, by using all the fisting gestures and the apparently firm tone. Normal people do use it, but only when you deliberately shaping an illusive image, you use it so much.
McCain, shame on you that you put the stake of the whole country on playing power game. Palin, if you are really a strong woman, be yourself and tell people what exactly you think rather than being trained to be a follower.
According to the Seattle Post Intelligencer OpEd piece:
“Now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day’s work,” Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Aug. 28 in his convention acceptance speech. He told the crowd in Denver: “I want my daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons.”
Obama’s campaign website is even more specific. Under the heading “Fighting for Pay Equity,” the women’s issues page laments that, “Despite decades of progress, women still make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. A recent study estimates it will take another 47 years for women to close the wage gap with men at Fortune 500 corporate offices. Barack Obama believes the government needs to take steps to better enforce the Equal Pay Act…”
Obama’s commitment to federally mandated pay equity stretches from the Rockies to Wall Street and beyond. And yet it seems to have eluded his Senate office. Compensation figures for his legislative staff reveal that Obama pays women just 83 cents for every dollar his men make.
…..
Again, on average, Obama’s female staffers earn just 83 cents for every dollar his male staffers make. This figure certainly exceeds the 77-cent threshold that Obama’s campaign website condemns. However, 83 cents do not equal $1. In spite of this 17-cent gap between Obama’s rhetoric and reality, he chose to chide GOP presidential contender John McCain on this issue.
….
Obama’s criticism notwithstanding, McCain’s payment patterns are the stuff of feminist dreams.
McCain’s 17 male staffers split $916,914, thus averaging $53,936. His 25 female employees divided $1,396,958 and averaged $55,878.
On average, according to these data, women in John McCain’s office make $1.04 for every dollar a man makes. In fact, all other things being equal, a typical female staffer could earn 21 cents more per dollar paid to her male counterpart — while adding $10,726 to her annual income — by leaving Barack Obama’s office and going to work for John McCain.
…..
In short, these statistics suggest that John McCain is more than fair with his female employees, while Barack Obama — at the expense of the women who work for him — quietly perpetuates the very same pay-equity divide that he loudly denounces. Of all people, the Democratic standard bearer should understand that equal pay begins at home.

Obama may sound good at times but it depends on what time it is and what is involved in it for him. I studied him for a year and a half and I know he never stands by anything he says. I can truthfully say "Know Obama, No Obaman."

After studying Obama for over a year I know he does not stand by anything he says unless it benefits him. Sadly I found nothing in his present or past that shows me any hope for change. As it is said "Know Obama, No Obama."
