The republic is in trouble because we are becoming a nation of folks who are not rational and give money to empty suits in record number. Maybe McCain can hire Obama to fund raise for his government, especially after 8 years of Bush deficit reduction, it is reduction isn't it? What button are we hoping they push and if it is the nuclear one you really don't want them to be sure. Did you ever see Doctor Strangelove with peter Sellers? Great movie you would probably love it.

The question of judgement on this issue of Iraq is not one John McCain wants to answer-especially since Obama was against it from day one.
I don't believe Obama voted on the war. He wasn't in the Senate.

Not only that but he stated that he could not criticize Kerry on his vote because he does not know what he would have done.

George Bush was only delivering the script that his Israeli handlers and Israeli controlled US congresspersons compell him to deliver. He may not have even comprehended those whole bunch of words.

It is a shame that the good decent people of the US have to follow this pariah "state" to hell, led by our leaders, who themselves are led around by the nose by Israel.

I am tired of seeing my great country being heavily damaged, bit by bit, by the effects of the unconditional and unending billions of dollars of US cash and superpower weapons that are poured into that insatiable, warmongering people. Why can't they live in their already stolen land? It's because they have a single minded obsession with possessing that which belongs to somebody else. It has carried on without pause since the beginning. They are rapidly building and expanding new settlements in other's lands with the US bearing all the cost, all the responsibility and all the consequences.

my 2c and fully expect the ANTI-SEMITE!!!! replys that always follow anyone's questioning the US Israeli policies. Thanks for reading

Obama's ability to connect with people-- his superior articulation and timing-- is why he made it this far. However, something else has penetrated the surface... and it's cracked the facade.

He's becoming, IMO, personally repulsive. He throws gutter balls, dribbles too high, calls the "cue" a "white ball". There's church-gate, domestic-terror-gate, bitter-gate, Michelle-gate, flag-lapel-pin-gate, sweetie-gate and now cry-baby/paranoia-gate. Come on, when's it stop? Now, he's even wearing the pin that just makes him looks that much sillier. What in God's name is this guy thinking?

Under all the issues rests judgement. Granted, he voted not to invade Iraq... but why? When everyone else said it makes sense, why was Obama saying it was wrong? Why is he willing to talk when everything else points to a call to arms? It's another angle of his peculiarity. (I want to say "feminine" again, but that would imply something negative about "feminine".)

He's not an oracle who saw Iraq was a bad move. He's a coward who's paralyzed by life/death decisions and seeks to avoid them.

I don't care what the issues are. This guy is spineless. It shows in his refusal to get out of that church, it shows in his flipping on this stupid pin, it shows in how he cries when he might be the topic of a discussion. He is a bona-fide sissy... and you think he's suited to rule this country with what's in front of us?

On the libs best day, you'll find fault with McCain on things like the apparent flip on taxes. However, at the end of the day, McCain's going to kill the bad guys with extreme prejudice while Obama is placating them.

The Chamberlain comment is suited to Obama. He'll give the Arabs Israel to accomodate them.
Great, just what we need.

It shows more steel than many are capable of recognizing to divorce one's self from a lifelong friend and confidant, no matter the judgment of those on the outside looking in.

McCain's eloquent fairytale was quite fun, perhaps a great story to tuck the kids in.

The surge is successful? Did I miss the poster on the ship?

Obama and San Francisco's problem is that they are both ahead of their time.

Haha. Could it be they despise people and look down upon them for having different views?
