Barack Obama and John McCain Both Struggle With How to Deal With Their Base
Reader Comments
Obama
Obama is not going to be a good president. He is alredy lagging behind McCain and it's only because McCAin is better. Barack Obama is a lying black man. He says he's Muslim then he says he's christian he needs to make up his mind. He can only be one of those. He has been lying about so many things. When he went to Isreal he put on a Jewish cap... AND HE'S NOT EVEN JEWISH!!!!!! I DO NOT LIKE BARACK OBAMA!!!
Obama, clearly the best man
Obama's clearly the best man for the job. Even some republicans are starting to think so, like John Bolton. I will be voting for Obama in November.

Heaven Help Us/Our Nightmare Has Arrived
All I have to say is Heaven Help Us if the lefty's do not wake up and realize that we are ALL in BIG trouble if Obama gets elected. How he got this far with a nice smile and a wave is beyond disbelief. My husband will be on his 2nd tour in Iraq in Jan 09. Our biggest fear is to have his life be in the hands of commander in chief such as Obama who has alreadt flip flopped on his stance with Iraq due to pure and simple inexperience. We are talking about a man who wants to throw as many "incentives" at our enemy, play nice nice and have a round table tea-time with the president of Iran. Lord Help Us.....PLEASE smarten up people! And be aware that I did not even get into the tax issue. For all of you who like you have a nice "behind", better think twice, because yours truly is going to tax it right off! ...I simple just don't get it. The dems sure are a different breed.
Obama and FISA
I support the Obama campaign for President for too many obvious reasons to list,but everyone knows it's because we had to live in the Rethuglian world way to long. When I heard Senator Obama was going to vote for the watered down version of the new FISA Law my reaction was great disappointment. I happen to be one of those people who believe that our founding fathers left us an ingenious document,the Constitution,but unfortunately has been ignored primarily by the Chief Executive to the detriment of citizens rights or better interests. I hope he reconsiders his decision!!! I'm retired from the Telephone Industry and I hate those MOFO's only marginally less than I dispise the NEO-CONS, they both belong in prison!!!!!
Obama's reversal of opinion?
Not at all. If you look at Obama's statements over the past year, you will see that his positions have not changed one bit. He is just emphasizing different aspects of his position.
McCain's position is a drastic over-emphasizing of different aspects from his positions prior to the 2004 general election. The difference is so great that it easy to distrust him in favor of his current shifting of stances...
As for FISA, what is wrong with the 1972 law that allows the president to wiretap 72 hours PRIOR to obtaining a warrent from a SUPER-SECRET court that virtually never denies a request and is CLOSED to the public? Obama's support for a new law the bends over to a lame duck president is very distressing. And, given my choices, I pray that Obama has something up his sleeve.
Kudos to Obama
Kudos to Barack Obama for taking a responsible position on the Iraq war. He now says he will consult with military leaders and will not withdraw troops until that can be done without negative consequences.
Of course, this is identical to the Bush administration's policy and the position endorsed by John McCain. And it is a complete reversal of Obama's position over the past year when he was seeking the Democrat nomination. But he deserves credit for coming to the right position, even if belatedly so.
Why isn't it publicized that John McCain has a Potentially Lethal Cancer- Malignant Melanoma
A couple months back, Sonjay Gupta, M.D. was given access to John McCains Medical records.
It was reported that Senator McCain had malignant melanoma: Stage II or III. This a is highly agressive tumor that could definintely put Senator McCains life in peril. The recurrance rate is very high.
Up to Date is a medical reference used by many physicians. You can read about this tumor on the following link.: http://www.utdol.com/online/content/topic.do?topicKey=skin_can/10457&selectedTitle=2~150&source=search_result
Why isn't this being debated in the press? Why isn't it widely known?
America Needs McCain
How dare can Democrats blame Bush and Republicans for getting us into this war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The undecided lame Democrats voted for war and now they want to withdraw our troops after much sacrifice is being done to stabilize the political situation in these countries. Thanks to Democrats for planning to leave Iraq and Afghanistan and let Al Qaida do what they were actively involved in doing when Clinton was in office. Yes, some one had to have to guts and clean up the mess that Clinton left behind when it comes to ignoring Al Qaida operation in places we know. Yes, we all hate war and the economic price that we have to pay..but when terrorists or any nation dare to attack our interests, our citizens, we ought to take any reasonable measure necessary to fight back. Sometimes, we can not have our cake and eat it too! Should we allow another 9/11 or worse tragic situation to happen before we come to our full senses. I am not a war advocate, but it was for me, Iran and Syria should pay the price for their vicious activities in the middle east. On the other hand, Democrats were opposing building fence between our border with Mexica because a certain species of roadrunners, rabbits,etc were in danger. Come one folks?? For the same reason, they are the ones against off shore drilling because some form of fish or sea animals might be at risk while millions of Americans are suffering and their living conditions have been adversely affected. Also, how many times Democrats have promised the so-called Universal Health Care? I would like to know which one of them stuck to their promise when they got to the office. I am sick of these lame and naive Democrats in Congress and this Obama guy (who is promising change)! Yes, change for the worse of course
Whatever. This is silly.
The Government already "surveils its own citizens". If Obama can compromise a better deal for this; I would trust that he knows what he's doing. The Government already has powers over phone communications. It seems that everyone who commented this seems to think Mr. Obama can change the whole wide world in like 2 weeks. I will be laughing when everything stays the same for awhile. Yes, he will help us out of what the Bush Admin got us in; but don't speak as if his whole plan is going to work. He isn't the first president to promise everything. I'm not saying he won't make things better, but whatever, don't get too hopeful. Things will still be SHITTY. Not as much. Still tho. Just cuz we have a new president, doesn't mean it will end any war. He can remove as many troops as he wants. We owe money to half the world cuz of Bush. And the other half may be our allies, however don't think the others aren't going to sit there and let the U.S. take over the world...
Barack knows what he is doing.
Barack Obama knows what he is doing.How can anyone even cosiders John Mccain for president. This man doesn't know his head from a hole in the ground.
I will stick with OBAMA all the way. This man is brilliant, ompassionate and know what is need for our county to get on a good footing in domestic and foreign affairs.
John Mccain is living in the pass.A gas hoiliday that would give you $30.00 dollars.
What can $30.00 dollars buy you these days. We need a long fix for this country.John Mccain have gimmicks. Anything to get elected.We should want more.Health care,help to keep our homes, college educations for our kids,decents educations for all, and good standings in the world.We will only get this with OBAMA.
