Wait a minute, that ‘they have nowhere else to go’ just hit me. Sounds like an abusive husband. ‘she won’t leave me, she has nowhere else to go’.

Have you noticed his new prop in the theatre of the absurd? Older white women sitting behind him.

Well, don’t forget that while the Civil War is always described as having been fought over slavery, slavery AS AN ISSUE did NOT factor into the conflict until Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. What’s always forgotten about the Proclamation is that, for all the talk of emancipating the slaves, Lincoln freed NOT ONE SLAVE. The Proclamation was ONLY effective in parts of the Confederacy in “open rebellion” but there were huge chunks of Confederate territory under Union control when the Proclamation went into effect (the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, New Orleans and adjacent areas) as well as four entire slave-holding states (Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri) which didn’t secede, so the Proclamation didn’t affect slaves in any of those areas (Union troops were strongly urged to free any slaves in territories that they controlled, but this was not official Union policy).
To view this from another perspective, it would be similar to Governator Schwarzenegger saying that all out-of-state same-sex couples who marry in California retain their status as legally married when they return to their home states, regardless of those states’ own laws regarding same-sex marriage. Ah-nuld could scream this from the highest building in California all he wants but it wouldn’t change the actual status of any of those couples once they return to Texas, Michigan or Georgia.

Oooooh, I can’t tell you how angry I am. I am a Hispanic from Texas. I completely wrote off Obama back in the Nevada primaries when he said nothing about the Unite Here ad; that was the end. He must think Hispanics are idiots, because there is no way Clinton would not want us voting. The Clintons have always treated the Hispanic community with great respect. That ad was insulting. This is insulting. Here is further proof of how little Obama thinks of our community.

Bill Clinton one time gave his state of the union speech from memory when his teleprompter was loaded with the wrong speech and he found out as he started (Greenspan calls it genius in his book). I shudder (NOT) to think what will happen if Obama’s teleprompter fails. I think somebody should try that, don’t you? Just to see what happens. {as I write this I am thinking, they will create a faux situation where they will lie that his teleprompter failed and he still gave a fantastic speech.} These people are so predictable.

The weirdest thing for me is his moving his head from side to side looking at the same angle and object — Imagine if he were doing this naturally, he would look everywhere, make eye contact with some his audience responding to what he says, an occasional laugh, smile, unintended (or unrehearsed pauses), occasional rejoinders to acknowledge audience reaction (instead now all you see is this stupid side to side movement like watching a tennis match).

John McCain vs. Barack Obama: The Best President

Well, the GE is off and they are using Obama’s record against McCain. I think this is just a blogger and not from the campaign.

Erin, if he had ‘Chaired’ his committee he wouldn’t have forgotten Australia (major supporter in the war), and a friend of this country in many other wars.

NOW, as to the Latinos, well he forgot them on purpose, he knows they are Hillary supporters and that down the road they will remember who has been a ‘friend’;”My friends, I won’t forget you”. See, McCain remembers all the Latin Americans that went to war for this country and he frequently tells their stories. He speaks of their valor while campaigning. He is never too busy for his ‘friends’ who gave so much to this country.

Obama also forgot the Native Americans and they were among the first to join PUMA and list their complaints on his lack of support for their legislation and his missed votes.

Us ‘wimin’… well, he thinks we will come on over because we have no where to go…

In truth this country is a tapestry of many, with ancestry from all seven continents, many that have been willing to give their lives for it and many continue to think it worth fighting for.

McCain doesn’t do the inappropriatly placed smiles in the ads; he does it in speeches and in townhalls. He’ll be saying something totally serious and forceful like ” I will track down Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell and bring him to justice” or about Iran and nukes; then he smiles friendly and calls us his friends. Thats throws me off because you can tell he is intentionally censoring himself and dailing down. I do LOVE his sarcastic smirk when he delivers a zinger. And you can tell he has biting sense of humor. Which is fine by me, since I am the same way.

He didn’t believe in ALL the people. Just the under trodden of the developing world.

But McCain’s smiling face is a nice contrast. When Obama looks and sounds angy throughout this ad.

I don’t get the “great orator” thing, either. I’ve listened to a lot of speeches by politicians, preachers and lecturers, and I see nothing extra special about Obama.
Now, Bill Clinton is a great orator. I saw him in person. Without a teleprompter or even an index card with notes on it, he gave a 45-minute speech that was both inspiring and memorable.
