Yes because on a forum discussing national service McCain should’ve ripped into a screed against Obama...
Oh calm down. Lets win this election and then we can hold his feet to the fire. I think we will have more luck doing that than getting anywhere near Obama’s feet to begin with.
I am OK with McCain’s comments.
There is NOTHING wrong with being a community organizer.
There is NOTHING wrong about Obama being a community organizer.
The ISSUE is...... being a community organizer does NOT make you QUALIFIED to be president.
Not a big issue. Lets move on....
This doesn’t mean that McCain...
1. doesn’t know Barack Obama’s radical, ACORN/Alinskyite/Ayers involvements...
2. won’t tell America what he needs to about Barack Obama in the next eight weeks.
(And of coure, it doesn’t mean he will.)
Meanwhile, it is the responsibility of everyone who knows the truth to tell our fellow Americans.
Folks, there’s a time for everything. Tonite was not the night to attack. I have no problem with what McCain said. Let him play the ‘good cop’ - and let the ‘attack’ line come from somewhere else on this day.
I don’t care if McCain goes after the moderate vote. In fact, he probably needs to if he wants to win. HOWEVER, praising Obama’s service as “community organizer” isn’t going to do it. How is praising the opponent going to persuade someone to vote for him?
McCain did a pretty good job with a pretty shabby line of question. Moving on.
While Obama is calling his running mate a pig, he's saying that he has examined his opponent's record and thinks it seems nice.
McCain is fatherly, Obama is a whiny kid.
I agree, let’s get across the finish line first.
Um, Michelle, there's no need to be a dragon ALL the time. McCain and Obama spent the day at Ground Zero. There was absolutely no reason for McCain to criticize Obama tonight over anything. McCain showed class, which is what most of us have come to expect from him.
I REALLY hope Michelle's not becoming the Right's equivalent of those Leftists who pick up on every comment of the opposition as if it's somehow sinister.
Michelle, McCain was being a nice guy. And it sounds like you need a vacation.
Do I understand your frustration? Yes! They will get their own come November 4 and that is the true prize that we need to keep our eye on. On that day they will eat crow!
No condescion there.
For some reason, I haven’t been paying attention to what was going on with these forums and debates. Can anybody tell me, is this what we’re going to get instead of debates? Tonight’s forum was not only worthless, it was totally boring. I’m not really sure “national service” is very high on the list of American priorities right now.
Dudes, lets face it: None of us are enthusiastic about McCain.
He’s our Trojan Horse for future President Palin. Let’s try to comfort ourselves with that thought and hold our noses at the ballot box. It’s PALIN-mccain. Keep that thought.
“Hey, Maverick: Way to throw Sarah Palin, Rudy Giuliani, and your strategists who had the sense to seize on Obama’s abysmal, ineffectual record as a Chicago rabble-rouser under the bus! Criiiiiikey”
Does the phrase drama queen REALLY need to be used? Sheesh.
Under the bus, Michelle? Please. The hyperbole is getting just a bit thick there.
In no way, shape, or form did anyone go under the bus. In fact he said specifically “It’s a tough campaign” - which if anything I see as a tacit endorsement of that view.
Just in time for the new sharper tone ads etc. that nobama is starting tomorrow ... PLEASE don’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, Mr. McCain.
He (McCain) was just being nice. I heard it. Didn’t care for the whole forum. Anytime a bunch of rich elitists get together to talk about public service as if it is some kind of strange beast that people don’t do enough of I want to puke. Why is it with the left that they think that things that most people just do on their own must be turned into some kind of cause reinforced by government. Most don’t quantify it when they help a neighbor in need or rally to the cause of those caught up in a disaster. Does public service have to be some kind of guilt trip where liberal elitists can point their finger at people and say scoldingly “You aren’t doing enough”.
Well screw the self important lot of them. We don’t need government to encourage public service. We have churches and community organizations.
