Obama reads a good speech.
it's weird isn't it.......after 8 years of dumbing down.
Unless something horrible happens in the first term, Obama has a 2nd one locked up. His cute words are saturated in so much hypocrisy but damn does he sound good.
Fear-mongering on War..Baaaad
Fear-mongering on economy and tax money..Gooooood
cheney just said "good afternoon".
he doesn't know the time of day.
Will the libtards continue to like him if his teleprompter doesn't stop failing on him from time to time?Quote:

Obama seems to have a 2nd term locked up because his opponent will be coming out of today's GOP.
Greater parts of the electorate want the government out of their pocketbook and out of their bedroom and the GOP can't figure out how to win in this environment? :wtf
All the republicans need is another Reagan Conservative. Election won!Quote:

It's so nice to see the opposite side come up with great answers to the biggest problems of our day... like taking time to try to throw the word 'socialist' in the Democrat party's name. Way to effectively use your resources!
I might have more respect for the Right if they ever tried to actually SOLVE a problem, rather than naysay every Lefty idea and fingerpoint.
Does that mean you disrespect the left as well, for nay-saying every republican idea?Quote:

And, if not, if he'll stand by his statement today that he will explain why he doesn't.
I won't hold my breath.
You are bitching about the right's kneejerks in this left-right paradigm as you give the same thing.Quote:

Pray for the worst.
I guess the GOP hopes for another attack so they can get power back. I'm glad to be an American!
Rah rah rah!
Bush won re-election after a terrorist attack even after he didn't win a majority of the popular vote in the prior election. Be careful what you wish for, politically, as well as for your fellow countrymens' sake.Quote:

That's because the country rallied around him after a "suprise" terrorist attack. Obama and future presidents won't be treated the same, instead they'll get the blame.Quote:

Why did McCain have to pick an unqualified VP?
Why did Hillary have to have such a loose lip?
Had either of these things not happened, I would feel a lot better about the future...
The last time we had a qualified president might have been Ford, maybe Bush Sr. (And he was gutless)
Palin was more qualified than Obama.Quote:

Unless McCain pulls off a stunning comeback, history will note the final two weeks of September as the decisive and defining moment of this campaign. On September 14, the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll showed McCain up by three points. Then Lehman Brothers collapsed and the Wall Street debacle began to dominate the news. McCain’s lead disappeared almost immediately. By September 26, Obama reached the 50% level of support and was ahead by five percentage points.
The Democratic nominee never let go of that lead. Today is the 40th straight day that Obama’s support has stayed between 50% and 52%. Only once during that entire time did his lead fall below four points, and it occasionally expanded to eight (see trends).
For the most part. The Left does come up with ideas in many cases though, as crappy as they are.Quote:

I'll agree with that since he did lose convincingly however she was not the cause as your side and the McCain camp like to pretend. If I had to pick the one decision that hurt him the most it would be his retarded suspension of the campaign, rushing back to washington to be the champion of the bailout that most conservatives & independents opposed, and then looking even more foolish when he failed at that.Quote:

Well, I think it may be this:
Sources: Obama ready to ban harsh interrogations
And, indeed, he did pass an executive order in the first days of his administration that set out to reverse all manner of security and interrogation practices adopted by the Bush administration, in the period after September 11. But, did he just play a shell game? After all, if he's serious about this, he could seek legislation from Congress that would outlaw such practices and codify the methods of interrogation to be used.
First, I wonder how that debate resolved and second, I wonder how the Obama people would not consider the enhanced interrogation techniques on only three (out of thousands of captured terrorists) people, to extract actionalble intelligence, wasn't "extraordinary?"Quote:

Good for him.
I bolded the words "the intent" because, well, we all know how government treats intentions...
Several organizations have already sent requests to former Vice President Cheney's office to see if he'll clarify this remark. So, I guess, we'll see...
Palin brought a different skill set to the ticket. However, she was a qualified to be president as anyone else in the race.Quote:

Instead of shedding the GOP of its Wilsonian fundamentalist progressivism, 'conservatives' seek to double down on the prior eight years while confirming that they haven't learned the lesson of the last federal election and also confirming that they don't have any other ideas, save for the notion that a darkie couldn't possibly have a brain and therefore is just a 'gifted speaker.'
Boy you guys are bent these days..I guess losing brings out the hysteria.Quote:
