The truth is that neither nor Obama have never truly lead a large organization before running for President.
Well, not quite correct.

McCain was in charge of the largest fighter squadron in the navy. He did a pretty good job of cleaning them up too.

Leadership.

That's it??

Puppet is such an appropriate term for Obama. Obviously his actions are all orchestrated by others.....not an original thought in his head.....brain cells fried from all his high school drugs.......just an empty shell.

When you think about it, he looks like a puppet too......lanky arms and legs, big goofy Dumbo ears (the more lies he tells, the bigger his ears get.....sort of like Pinocchio).

Careful, careful. You're gonna get hit with the race card if you keep that up.

Yeah, when I think of big ears I typically think of an elephant, hence the use of Dumbo. Somehow big ears=elephant=Dumbo doesn't = black to me but since I know how fond you are of the race card

False. Only took me about 5 minutes to disprove this. Here's a factcheck:

Obama was sworn into the US Senate (yes, on a Christian bible) on January 4, 2005:
en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Barack_obama

He announced his intent to form a panel to begin exploring a Presidential bid on January 16, 2007:
cnn. com/2007/POLITICS/01/16/obama.papers/index.html

That's 742 days.

The OP also ignores nearly 2 years that have passed since, and the fact that he was a State Senator in Illinois for 7 years... as well as his exceptional academic and early career achievements.

Don't believe everything you read people!

He was present only 143 times in chambers and voted "present" on 130 bills because he could not come up with an answer or did not understand the bill.


And he has been to Iraq one time in 945 days. Wow.

The numbers are stacked against him.

Where do you people get this stuff??

Again, here are some facts for ya. If you look at the number of US Senate votes cast by McCain and Obama, McCain actually voted yes/no less than Obama, and voted present more. Assuming the data from votesmart. org is accurate, the results for the 2005-2007 timeframe are as follows.

Total number of bills requiring a vote: 547
McCain = 279 P (51%) McCain = 133 N (24%) McCain = 135 Y (25%)
Obama = 205 P (37%) Obama = 87 N (16%) Obama = 255 Y (47%)


Try again
