Beating Obama like a rented mule.
Assuming anybody is paying attention
The only statement I want to hear is “We will not steal from the taxpayers to clean up a mess they didn’t make”.
This verifies what Rush said today:
Barack Obamas priority was political posturing in his opening monologue defending the package as it stands.
Maybe I don’t get it, but I am a little frustrated by what I think of McCain’s failure to take over this whole situation. First, since the D’s won’t do anything without R cover, and since the Congress is now afraid not to act, McCain and his fellow Republicans can dictate the terms of the deal (within reason) — make it a workout, not a bailout, as so many have been saying. Second, to my mind, he should have either 1) blown off the debate, or 2) demanded a change in subject, to domestic. Again, he controls: no McCain, no debate. He gets to dictate the terms.
I don’t understand why he isn’t doing any of this. Using the powers given him by the situation.
Also — while I’m on my annoyance dial — the mishandling & mis-using of Sarah Palin is grating. Jeepers. Why (to take one small item) — why put her into one on ones with people who hate her guts and wanna play gotcha? Let her raise money and stir crowds. What does she need any of the Katies or Charlies or any of the MSM for? No matter how well she does, they will not change their rants. They will still hate her in the morning. They NEED to destroy her. Please — use her better — crowds & fundraising!
Ah well.
The difference between Barack Obama and John McCain was apparent during the White House meeting yesterday where Barack Obamas priority was political posturing in his opening monologue defending the package as it stands.
***Worth repeating.
Yes!!
After reading the posts, it seems to me dumb that we have a Senator making statements that appear appropriate, yet we criticize him. Are we so beyond reason that we can’t take statements for what they are?
I believe there’s something most continue to fail to see. America votes for the one that looks Presidential. Nothing about BO looks Presidential. His umming and errring tonight will further drive home his lack of...everything.
BO does NOT deserve to be within a mile of that stage tonight with McCain much less on it. He’ll show America that he’s nothing more than a joke without his beloved teleprompter.
Sickening to see pictures of BO at a table with Bush, McCain and equally sickening to see Pelosi and Reid next to the POTUS when both should be tried for treason.
BTW. Has anyone else noticed that Obama was suddenly sporting grayed hair at his temples yesterday?
good, now they need to shout it out to drown out harry, nancy, obami........
If McCain tries to appear above the fray and make appeals to “bipartisanship”, particularly during the debate, he is going to lose in a landslide. Time is running out. If he doesn’t call Obama the shyster that he is and run against the Democrats and their record of deceit, Obama will be our next president, and the country will far be worse off for it. McCain cannot depend upon spontaneity and empty gestures to turn the race around any more. He has lost ground over the past few days because he has all but abandoned the field, and so he has to make up for lost time NOW. This isn’t a favorable environment for any Republican or RINO, but plenty of people were predicting that the economy would go south quickly at the end of the year, and we all know this will get worse. But if any of you here think that having both Obama and the current Democrat leadership in power is very dangerous to the country, then you will agree that we can’t afford to lose this election; this is not a poker game between buddies or a popularity contest. I just hope that McCain, despite his imperfections, understands that. I’m not convinced that he does.
McCain should also treat this debate as a debate and direct questions at his opponent, and they have to be the questions that his opponent cannot answer. He should not stop to give Obama a chance to breathe or dodge questions. Rest assured that Obama is going to do the same thing in the most underhanded way possible, regardless of what the previously agreed-upon “rules” are. Again, this is not a popularity contest. McCain cannot be like Bush and play the most likeable candidate of the two. It won’t work, because Obama is going to use the current hysterical headlines to advocate his radical agenda, sugarcoating it as necessary so that the voters will fall for it if he isn’t challenged. Even Kerry and Gore, two equally flawed Democrat candidates, couldn’t do that.
FU McLiberal, NO deals with Democrats. They can pass this all on their own. Go away you senile media lap dog.
“The Democratic interests stood together in opposition to an agreement that would accommodate additional taxpayer protections.”
PURE pond scum. Each and every one of them. Evil beyond compare.
w00t!
