Oh Baby Baby -- Obama Fires Back!

It is on now!
McCain, Obama
Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor just released this statement about John McCain's new political ad, comparing Mr. O to Britney and Paris:

"On a day when major news organizations across the country are taking Senator McCain to task for a steady stream of false, negative attacks, his campaign has launched yet another. Or, as some might say, 'Oops! He did it again.' Our dependence on foreign oil is one of the greatest challenges we face.

In this election the American people have a real choice -- between Obama's plan to provide tax rebates to American families while creating a renewable energy economy in America that frees us from our dependence on foreign oil, and Senator McCain's plan to continue the same failed energy policies by handing out nearly $4 billion in tax breaks to oil companies while investing almost nothing in the new energy sources that represent our future."

17. "Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor just sent TMZ this statement" -tmz

A real politician wouldn’t have a celebrity rag one of the first resources on his list or on his list at all to release a political statement – It’s all to playing the celebrity status and that kind intellect. I enjoy TMZ but do not rely on it for real issues.

18. I really doubt anybody who is elected into office is really going to make a difference....I think not. It took a few decades to get into this situation and I don't believe that with a new president everything is going to POOF....change. It does not matter if the old white guy or the half black guy wins....nothing will change.

21. What has happened to John McCain's integrity? He is sounding more and more like an desperate and angry old geezer! I am losing respect for him fast. He will hand the election to Obama if he keeps this up, no one wants to hear Grumpy Gramps for another four years! Please John McCain, go back to the high road you promised to take. You are making yourself unlikeable.

23. People please DO NOT believe this crap. Do the research yourself. You are better than this...I hope.

24. Sh*tney, we know that being in a plane crash does not make you a hero but being a soldier makes you a hero and being a prisoner of war who had the option to be released years before he did but not taking it because there were other prisoners with him who had been POW's longer does make him a hero. It shows integrity and honor. Obama has neither. You can always tell when Obama is lying...just see if his lips are moving.

25. obama is a joke, and i like tmz for it's coverage of idiots in hollywood. if they want to get into politics, do a little research. oil runs our country, how will long chain carbons be made from solar or wind power, hint some fav long chain carbons are nylon, rayon, acrylic, polyester, plastics, carbon fiber, all made from oil. jet fuel is made from a byproduct of the distilling process while making gasoline, no more gasoline, no more jet fuel, i would love to see a solar powered 747, or a wind powered gulfstream jet. we need to drill drill drill, like some of the hollywood idiot drill paris, but drilling for oil will produce more than filling any hollywood starlets. stick to hollywood, and layoff the politics, socialism does not work, and liberal/progressive/democrats are all about socialism. oh, in a socialistic society, movie stars make minimum wage, just like everybody else.

26. Let's not forget Obama's pal Wright spewing anti-American hate!

27. To McCain supporters - he is abusive to his wife - anyone remember him calling her the 'c' word in the 80's? Do we really want to have an abuser in office? She sold her company to a European company... what about helping the US economy?

McCain wants to win this war yet can give no definition of what 'win' means. Offshore drilling will NOT help us! Even if they start now we will only see about a .10 reduction and not for another 10 years. They are doing the ol' Bush tactic of if you repeat it enough the American sheep will believe it - and sadly it has proven to be effective.

To Jojo - yes, Hussein is his first name. Now if you had a clue you'd also realize that Hussein is as common a name in Africa and the Mid-East as John is here. So I guess everyone named John in the US is a terrorist. Or maybe George would be a more appropriate name to tie in with terrorism.

How can he be Muslim if he has attended a CHRISTIAN church for the last 20 years? And before anyone jumps on the Reverend issue again keep in mind that Falwell, Roberts and even Billy Graham have long preached about intolerance and hate and racism. So before you cast a stone at someone else, look at your own preachers.

Obama has always said he cannot and will not do it alone - he will put experienced people in the positions they need to be in to run this country and he will actually LISTEN to opposing views and decide from ALL options what is best... what a concept.

McCain has had to resort to name calling and having a temper tantrum (something he's very good at) because things aren't going his way - yeah, that tactic worked out sooooo well for HIllary.

If you want another four years of lies to get in office then more of the same - tax relief for the wealthy while the rest of us struggle to get by - then by all means, vote for McCain. But don't even think of complaining about things if he gets in and things are a lot worse. And be ready to send your own loved ones to his war.

28. I meant Hussein is his real middle name, not his first name. However, Barack is his real first name - not Barry as some have claimed - that was his nickname.

29. I think it's time for change - No more Bush meaning John McCain needs to go home and watch TV at his age. We need new blood in the White House and new ideas. I am 72 years old, worked 46 years, female, and eventhough I feel I am not a total waste of space, I know I'm not nearly as alert and ready for challenges as I once was. McCain has a long history in government and I agree with Joe Biden, his past experience does not qualify him to be president. Go Obama, all the way!
