It was a stupid thing to say. Not that its a big deal or really matters except to provide a line for some people to laugh at, but you should not admit anyone may be more qualified than you when you are going for a job.
He should have stuck with saying that she's easily qualified enough and would have done a fantastic job as VP instead of comparing her to him.
That's my ticket!!! Much better than the Palin/McCain one that's for sure.If he already knew this, I'd like to know why Biden accepted.
This ticket is such a joke. How do you think Obama reacted to that little soundbite?
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Who said he's going to drop Biden?
Honestly, I'm not thrilled with either side.The last time I checked that other ticket wasn't exactly gold either....
But Biden making that comment didn't exactly draw people in in a positive way.
Obama attracts these "Crazy uncle" types like flies.
It's funny how Republicans don't want to talk about issues, they just want to talk about whether or not Biden made a stupid remark, or if Barack Obama really insulted Sarah Palin with his lipstick comment. You would think AggiePolitical would want to talk issues and how McCain and GOP policies are superior for the country. Oh wait, I wouldn't want to try and use up energy making that case either
McCain may yet win this thing, because the Republicans are always more willing to smear themselves with to win elections. Call it the Idiocracy Effect. Sarah Palin's first interview isn't on Meet the Press, it's a prime-time Barbara Walters-esque special. How embarrassing for her and for ABC.
Why the press doesn't refuse to cover her under such conditions is beyond me. But that's the GOP for you, all smoke and mirrors, no substance.
I agree. We need a forum moratorium: no more posts - by anybody - unless it's about the issues.
Who the elected you Deputy Fife of the Political forum?
The kinds of people and organizations a Presidential candidate associates/associated himself with (Bill Ayers, Rev Wright, ACORN et.al) are just as important as the issues. Not only does it say a lot about their true charachter, but it also says a uva lot about their ability to make smart decisions.
You were all too happy when the mud was flying in Palin's direction a couple of weeks ago. Now that it has backfired for the most part, you want to play the role of Great and Powerful OZ while screaming at us to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Sorry, but I'm not buyin it. I'm looking behind the curtain of both candidates. As anyone with half a brain should.
I disagree. Let the game play itself out.
Also works like this:
It's funny how democrats don't want to talk about the issues, they just want to throw out buzzwords like "change" and "hope", or if McCain sold out on America when he was POW. You would think Find sexualdog would want to talk issues and how Obama and Lib policies are superior for the country. Oh wait, I wouldn't want to try and use up energy (or not be funny) making that case either.
Obama may yet win this thing, because the democrats are always more willing to smear themselves with to win elections. Call it the idiocracy effect. Obama's claime to fame was a speech given four years ago that didn't talk about any policy whatsoever.
Why the press doesn't refuse to cover him under such conditions is beyond me, but that's the dems and myself for you, all smoke and mirrors, no substance.
Obama IS talking about the issues. McCain's speech to the convention was just about how he was tortured by the north vietnamese and for that he is en led to be president. Obama by contrast is talking about what he plans to do as president. McCain is just hiding behind Palin's skirt and going for another round of the cultural tribal wars.
And since that was McCain's only speech he's given throughout this entire process, well then he's obviously not talking any issues at all.
All I hear from McCain these days is that he's some sort of Maverick and Obama wants to teach little kids how to give good blow jobs. Way to raise the discourse Johnny.
So now that you've made it clear that you only read headlines and watch Entertainment Tonight, when do you want to talk about issues?
You know, everybody always says THEIR candidate is talking about the issues and the other isn't. The reality is, that both candidates always do both. McCain mentioned a lot about what he wants to see done, including a bit of specific information (more specific than I had expected anyway). People fixate on the positive of their own candidate and the negative of the other.
McCain mentioned he wants to keep taxes low, and cut where he can. He wants to work out more free trade agreements to open new markets. He wants to reduce government spending. He specifically mentions cutting the corporate tax rate and doubling the child tax exemption. He wants the goverment to support job training programs at community colleges, and wants to make up the wage different between the old wage and a wage from a temp job while workers retrain. He wants to ins ute vouchers. He wants to reduce foreign aid. He wants to allow more off-shore drilling, and encourage growth of nuclear plants and clean coal technology (as well as wind, tide, solar, and natural gas). etc etc etc.
If all you got from McCain's speech was "I was a POW and deserve to be President), you weren't listening.
Of course, for disclosure, I do not listen to the speeches, I read the transcripts after the fact. And I haven't had a chance to read Obama and Biden's speeches yet.
Obama picked Biden and he will stay. Any talk of removing Biden will start the Obama flip-flop talk again. The Hillary train left the station a long time ago. Do you really think Bubba and Hillary will go all out for Obama. The only way the Clintons campaign hard for the ticket is if Obama pays off Hillarys campaign debit.
Obama has already said if he is not elected he will not run again.
Did he? I have not heard that.
