“I want everyone to be respectful. And let’s make sure we are, because that’s the way politics is done in America.”

Tells one supporter who says he’s scared of an Obama presidency: “I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”

Yosemite McSam is who he is. Remember, we're NOT voting for him - we're voting AGAINST Obama!

The media have trapped McCain. They send in stooges to yell epitaths against bho with cameras waiting to make it national. He has to put out these fires with grace or face the manufactured outrage.

I saw the report on Fox News a little while ago. I didn’t hear the part about the “Arab”, but I did see the part about him “making nice”.

Agreed. Any one who expects Yosemite McSam to be a Republican partisan is setting themselves up to be disappointed.

I know it might be hard to hear and see this - but at a minimum we’re voting AGAINST NOBAMA!

“I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”

Obama: "So, you're saying I'm not risky, like your earlier ad of today said."

I was called "silly" and "absurd" by another poster today for saying that it looks like McCain would rather lose the nation than win the election. With every passing moment, I see it as more and more a realistic assessment.

Agreed.

Woh John! You really took off the gloves there!

I'm sure "That One" is laughing out loud right about now.

Sheesh.

I am back to voting for Sarah.
