Nobama Hussein Nomama? No thanks I say. And its wrong to ask who won the debate. The debate is not a wrestling match. It allows viewers to see the different positions the candidates express in response to individual questions. You may like Osama's view better than McCains. That does not mean Osama won the debate.

The country is in too much trouble to trust to a terrorist America hating liberal like Osama. And the vicious comments about Palin are not only not deserved, they will, I predict, come back to hurt the libs.

Actually, the first person I heard call him "Osama Obama" was Ted Kennedy. Since Ted's been working side-by-side with Sen Obama, I really think he should know his name. If it's good enough for the Kennedys, it's good enough for me.

Or are you calling the Democratic leaders racist?

He just might end up being your President & Commander in Chief. Clearly, you have an anti-democrat & anti-Obama attitude. You are probably self absorbed with idealogy. If, & when, you get to meet President Obama, or Vice President Biden, you will at the very least, show them the respect & dignity that they deserve, with their positions. If you are unable to accept that, then you need to resign from federal service today.

This would be just another round of socialism and high taxes. Who could have imagined there were so many weak minded and gullible Americans. The Democrats illustrate that you can fool many of the people most of the time. If you tell a lie often enough, the weak minded and gullible will believe it. Hold on to your wallet.

In George W. Bush's State of the Union address he pledged to cut the size of government. Currently, I feel sorry for all those baffled Republicans who voted for him based on this promise.
Bush and McCain are money spenders. I am wrong? How about the NEW TAX…. 10 billion dollars a month war tax. I can’t afford that! Iran is profiting 74 million dollars this year? No wonder Vice President Dick Cheney’s Halliburton is there for Shale Gas exploration. Read the water paper on it. Now the Baghdad mayor wants to build a 600 story Ferris wheel in the new town center? People wake up. The presidents who presided over the largest domestic spending increases were Republicans. Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Eisenhower.
Republicans are having too much fun down there in Washington running their domestic and global empire. McCain is the same as Bush, (90% of the time) and he will use the same powerful propaganda machine to disguise the true causes of our problems and convince people that it is a race issue. Eight is enough! Obama will stop it.

I'm really tired of hearing that same old comment. Can't you come up with something better than that, or different? If you listened closely to the debate, "Obama" repeatedly said, "John, I agree with you." What makes you think Obama's going to do anything different? At least McCain wants to cut Federal spending, which should be done. We all know too well the money that is wasted within our own agencies. Wake up!

I am tired of hearing everyone say what McCain is going to do when they haven't really said anything except to lambast the opposition. Besides, to get a true picture of what McCain is saying, listen to what is is telling you today and what he said a week, month, 3 months, ... ago and then say your tired. He is a politico attempting to gain the high seat and he is tickling ears.

Obama may be as well, but his tickle is better than McCain's which, too bad, is more of the same old Bush/GOP rubbish.

Besides, he sounds boring as hell.

I don't know how many of you were working for the government when Reagan was President, but I was and those were some scary years. Reagan frozen government spending, cost of living increases and fired thousands of Air Traffic Controllers and put are nation at risk. I think that he was senile and so is John McCain. McCain has promised to do what Reagan did, freeze spending, increase an already bloated Defense Budget and keep our tax funds tied up in fighting somebody else's war because we are so afraid of people who we don't understand. If you think that Bush destroyed our financial system with a $700 bailout and deregulation that ran the country in the ground I can assure you that you have seen nothing yet. If McCain is elected and you voted for him, I hope that you lose your savings and your job. It will serve you just right.

Do you personally trust Palin, who may very well be the President after the "old man kicks rocks?" Palin cannot answer one single question and is a whole lot of hot air, just like McCain and his crew of ill-advisors. Palin is a joke and McCain is just showing you how unimportant this race is that he would pick her. McCain knows he doesn't have a shot in the dark of winning and that's really why he picked Palin because he knows she is less informed and unable to verbalize anything. So, you trust McCain? I wouldn't hold my breath that he will be in the "Brown House." Maybe Obama will CHANGE the color of the White House and make it Brown or at least Powder Blue to indicate change is real! LOL

"Celebrity" "Hollywood" get honest McCain will keep the new tax going. The War tax! 10 billion dollars a month war tax. The financial crisis of current was known by Bush for 2 1/2 years. Paulson said it. Why did Bush say nothing about all that "bad Paper" in the mortgage industry? Bush guarded Fannie and Freddie because of Wall Street.
McCain runs to capital hill before the vote to get some brownie point. Jonny wipe your nose and Palin doesn’t even have a position on the Bailout.

Do the math, 10 billion dollars a month plus 700 billion dollar equals McShame.

Accouting, the premise of your question is invalid.

The Bush Administration DID warn Congress repeatedly, as far back as 2001. He spoke specifically of the Fannie and Freddie situation and it's likelihood to spread to other areas. Despite his Administrations repeated warnings, nothing was done until now.

If Obama gets elected, he will ruin the economy far worse than McCain could ever do. Increasing taxes for businesses and corporations (they're already taxed to death) will not stimulate growth or add jobs, in fact just the opposite. History has proven this. It's scary how little Obama knows about economics. And yet people swallow this line. He is a very good public speaker, but that is hardly a qualification for president. He is not ready to be president, he doesn't have the experience or qualifications. Even Joe Biden admitted this. If fact, he was one of Obama's harshist critics. McCain and Palin have far more executive experience than Obama, and a much better handle on economics, security, and energy. If Obama gets elected, just watch the economy get even worse. You can't solve this crisis by handing out stimulus checks. He has all but admitted that he's a Marxist-Socialist. And as far as the housing mess goes, this was started back in the Carter Administration.

I am deeply involved in this Presidential Election, moreso than ever in my life. We the people have much at stake and we could easily lose everything if things go further south.

I am surprised that many people think Obama was the clear winner of the debate. It is as if I was not watching the same debate.

Another bit of information, one I fell is much more concerning to me, is the experience levels. McCain without a doubt is the MOST experienced. People have been stuck on Palin's supposed lack of experience when in fact she has more experience than Obama. Folks are so wrapped up in her experience that they are completely ignoring that Obama basically has none in the big picture. It scares me that because so many hate the current President that they are willing to jepordize our counrty by voting in an inexperienced candidate. That scares me beyond words.

God bless american because we really need it.

I think that you would vote for a polar bear as long as its Republican. None of them have experience as president. I'm looking for vision, a calm personality, and leadership ability. I see that in Obama. In McCain, I see a man that sold his values to become a candidate and get elected.

That's just because anyone who dares to criticize Sen. Obama is accused of being a racist. Evidently, it's open season on qualified female candidates. . . .

My favorite commercial of this campaign? The one where Sen. Clinton says that she has experience in foreign policy, Sen. John McCain has experience, and Sen. Obama has "a speech he gave in 2003." In the words of his own party elite, he is inexperienced and unqualified.

We've come a long way if we have moved from former Pres. Clinton going on and on about "I smoked but I didn't inhale" to Sen. Obama regaling us in his first autobiography about his drug use in high school and college, how much he enjoyed it, etc., and nobody (including the media) seems to care.

BUT...when you give us the news, make it news worthy and not some biased left wing or right wing crap. I want the truth! Let me figure out who I want to vote for instead of wondering who everyone else is voting for. This election is just plain crazy and to much finger pointing! WE THE PEOPLE not Republican and Democrat. Parties don't mean crap if you can't get to the meat and potatoes of a problem and correct the solution. Just my opinion!!!!!

I'm frustrated. Yes, I'm for McCain/Palin, but the frustration isn't about people voting for their candidate. I'd just be interested in specifics when people say that Obama has more experience than Palin. she's running as VP; he's running for POTUS; what experience does he have for that position? Another comment about McCain's being arrogant - how arrogant is it for Obama to have a fake Presidential seal? Ethical values? Friends like Ayers? Voting "Present" instead of doing his job and making decisons. Do we need a President who can't make decisions? His close ties to ACORN?

Let's get to the chase or bottom line, if you think that America is better off after eight years of Republican Rule vote Republican. If you don't vote Democratic. Elections are about accountability. I am going with the Democrats. I am prfoundly saddened by what has happened to this country under the misguided policies of Bush-Cheney.

HR Specialist,
If the democrats were about accountability, why didn't the house vote for the bail-out when it was brought to a vote by the speaker of the house (Pelosi)? She failed to deliver the votes. Face it, her party told her to pound sand. All she needed to do was deliver her party members and "some" of the opposition party and she couldn't even rally her own party members. She failed, her party members deserted, and the only "accountability" going on is finger pointing. If the democrats were for accountability, they would have stood up and stated the truth instead of running around trying to cover up their own involvement.

I think you need to re-evaluate your comments. This situation was caused by bothe republicans and demoncrats and it has spanned more than just this presidential administration. Everyone wants to blame the current administration, but then that is easy. Why should I take accountability for MY actions. Behavior like this is why we are failing as a country. People like you are "lock-step" with a political party and YOU can care less about the facts or accountability.
