WAAAASSSSSAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP

61. Good grief watching you americans and all this election brouhaha is so freaking hilarious. No one person dem or reb is going to be able to fix the problems in your country which in turn are spilling over to the rest of the global economy. Bicker, bicker, name calling, you can't get along, no wonder your country is going to hell in a hand basket. Jokers!

62. Does anyone else get the feeling that Mcain thinks that running the country would be like running a local Dairy Queen???

63. Isn't what Obama and McCain have done for our Country in the past all we can really judge on? They can tell us all they want, they can recite beautiful words or spew ugly words, we can all hear what we want from them-having watched the debates with a devout, dem. & rep. noted that they both totally got what they chose to hear. We can let this become about 'stuff', McCain making a face, dirty campaign vs. clean campaign, or bring in the fear factor with all the religious innuendo, age vs. smoker, pregnant teens vs. abortion rights, WHATEVER but in the end-take the time to find out what they have really done for our Country, in our Country's best interest. I have seen Obama work as part of the Chicago Machine, and if that is how you want your country to be... Vote Obama. Hopefully he'll take his good buddy our Gov. with him. Eloquent words are words. Hard work, deeds are deeds.

64. I have to say that I don't believe half of the people posting to this thread even DESERVE to vote for our next president.

I am an African American female working in the financial district of lower Manhattan in New York City. I pay my taxes and am NOT on welfare. In fact, I think you closed minded posters would be surprised as to how many of us ALLEGED welfare minorities actually contribute to the mechanics of this country. You sit at home watching your FOX news and point the finger at Sen. Obama calling him a traitor to this country and have nothing but LIES to base your claims on.

I've been watching this campaign trail for two years and there is one thing I've come to realize. ALL politicians have their faults. That's why we as a country have a choice in who becomes our leaders. My reasons for voting for Sen. Obama are simple. I make $68,000 a year. My husband (who happens to be white) makes $42,000 a year. Sen. Barak Obama made it very clear to me last night (mind you has kept his message consistent throughout his campaign) what his economic plan is and I agree with it, period. My vote, although surprising to some of you I'm sure has NOTHING to do with his race. Sen. McCain on the other hand has changed his plan repeatedly and has not given me enough info to even lean in his direction, except for the FACT that his voting record and his economic plan du jour is similar to what we've seen from our current administration. I'd also like to point out that I actually LIKED McCain during the primary, because he didn't get involved with the mudslinging that was going on during the race between Clinton and Obama for the Democratic nomination.

My opinions of McCain have sinced changed sharply due to these two facts. The first being that he's made the choice to have Gov. Palin as his running mate. Sarah Palin herself has questionable ties to fringe groups in Alaska as well as being accused and found to abuse her power as a public servant.

She claims that she's done considerable work with handicapped children when actually her record proves (look it up yourself) that in fact she's done very, very little. I also simply don't like the idea of McCain choosing this obviously ill-prepared, unqualified and as we've seen unethical WOMAN just because she's a woman. That trivializes my views as to why I was leaning toward Sen. Clinton and I find it offensive on his part.

My second reason for not voting for Sen. McCain and also my newest reason for developing a complete lack of respect for the man is the way he's been running his campaign the past couple of weeks. If you are an informed American and you are truly concerned about your financial future and your home, job, etc. the last thing you want to hear from an erratic, angry man and his "pitt bull" is that the opposing candidate associates with terrorist and that you should be afraid of him. These are blatant and obvious scare tactics that the McCain camp stated that they'd use to appeal to their "base". Now think about that for a moment. Who do YOU think he's talking about. I have to think he's talking about the ill-informed, elderly, fringe supporters he's grasping to hold onto. You don't have to look far to see that is exactly what he was trying to do and has unfortunately succeeded at doing.

The idea that at a Presidential campaign rally, people would go so far as to say "kill him" and call him a "terrorist' and not to mention have your supporters verbally attack blacks at YOUR rally and then do absolutely NOTHING until it is put directly in front of you is SHOCKING. Now, Sen. McCain claims that he's spoken out against this behavior, but I'm sorry Senator, I haven't seen it and I watch a lot of television and read a lot of papers. That offends me, not only as an African American, but as an American period. You lied to my face last night Sen. McCain!

I don't believe that Sen. McCain has the right and I am frankly appalled that he's the stones to attack Congressman Lewis on his comments when all Mr. Lewis did was express his wisdom on how Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin would be wise to tone that rhetoric down as he'd seen this type of mob mentalilty before...in the 60s...during the civil rights movement...during the George Wallace run. Now, most educated Americans wouldn't go out and make violent waves, but I have to believe based on this country's history with race relations and assassination attempts and assassination successes that it is possible and that Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin as public servants should be ashamed of going that route. They've blatantly played on the ignorance of certain citizens of this country and I certainly cannot support a campaign that not only blatantly lies to their followers, depicts their opponant as an enemy to this country, tries to gain votes by instilling fear and speaking false rhetoric and simply does not impress me with his borrowed insights from the Bush administration as to what this country needs.

66. 46. I agree with you #25, All the USA haters all seem to love OBAMA... Hmmmmm why is that?? (posted by wake up america @11:27.

He is right. The people who hate the USA love Obama. Should tell you all something. Pull your heads out and vote McCain. Obama is a smooth talker, and he ALWAYS says what he thinks the majority wants to hear. He will stop at nothing to be elected. His record is a disaster and speaks for itself. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!!

67. I saw him do this last night. Its was after the debate.. For those of you that think this isn't real look it up. Do you want him running the US or Palin.. No thank you! We need someone that can handle the pressure McCain gets to worked up and pissy under pressure and that scares me!!! Its all about him and wanting to WIN, WIN and DRILL, DRILL!! He has had cancer 4 times it could very well come back and he could not make it through ( I don't wish that on ANYONE) Then we have Palin in office taking advantage of her powers!

69. Hey DAK420, Colleen and NO TO OBAMA and all the rest of you who are scared of change...go back and check the "terrorists" facts. then re-post after you find the TRUTH! It is said that fear will hold one back, you all need to learn how to be fearless and embrace change for the future...unless you are all republicans, then...I'd be fearful also, an old cranky fart is running on your ticket, and he knows he has NO chance of winning, so he might as well be a dork as usual. BTW, he did do that in the photo last nite! Or were you all old and asleep?! Have a nice day...VOTE OBAMA

70. The picture is real. It was at the end of the debate when McCain went the wrong way exiting his seat to shake hands with the moderator. I'm not a McCain supporter but thought it was a funny response on his part of walking the wrong way. I'm sure we have all done the same thing at some point in our lives. What I thought was really more telling of the type of man/husband he is versus Obama is how they each interacted with their respective wives at the end. Obama followed his wife off stage showing her the respect she deserves as a lady and his wife. McCain left his wife in the dust as he exited from the stage. I didn't think that showed much respect for her.

71. Are you guys serious?? First of all McCain is never going to win a debate vs. Obama. But are you so stupid to fall for that smooth talk! Shame on whoever is voting for this creepy guy! You will all regret it when the democrats hike up taxes on Everybody!!! Not just the rich...everybody! I look forward to giving my hard earned money to all the poor people who are only poor because they've chosen to be poor! The only reason Obama gets so many people at his rallies is because most of his supporters are the lazy unemployed and want the government to take care of them! While McCain's supporters are actually at work!! Trying to make something of themselves and not depending on government to do it for them!! This country was built on Capitalism not Socialism! But socialism is exactly what Obama will bring! Watch what you wish for cause you just might get it!

72. I think this picture is too funny; this is how I feel when Obama talks about his tax plans and his socialist "Change" for America! A small business who nets 300,000 a year does not compare to billion dollar corporations Obama, so why do you want to punish these companies and take their money away so you can give it to people who don't want to contribute to society! Yeah, Obama's "Change" makes me want to throw up!

74. I love how when people want to make Obama look like a terrorist, they use his middle name. Because, of course, if your name is even close to Saddam's, well you must be one too.
Let's stick to the facts people, and stop acting like such uneducated morons. Unless you are one. And # 10 surely is.
