Who are you voting for?

So you said a lot but not who you are voting for so who ya voting for? Me I voted already for Obama..

Presidential Debate currently airing on CNN

When will Senator Obama not only answer the question he is asked, and give his OWN answer instead of repeating Senator John McCain's answers by just twisting the words but saying the exact same thing taking more time to strut around like a peacock. For the CNN consultant who made fun of Senator McCain's physical condition and walking demeanor on stage as showing his old age, I would like to see him go through all the torture and broken bones and be able to even withstand a presidential race. Traumatic wounds sustained by Senator McCain will manifest themselves later on in life and it shows the stamina and endurance and tremendous vigor this great hero shows. How dare you insult Senator McCain's posture onstage. He clearly has never served his country. Senator Obama was sworn in on the Qoran, does that make him a true Senator and legally able to run for office???? And, all you liberal democaratic media personalities will not determine the outcome of this race with your false polls.

bailout 700 dollars

The bailout is to help banks etc.but how is it going to help people like myself who have bad credit and home that is upside down to get money when the banks will have stricture requirements. If. You want to help the econmy just give all housewholes one million dollars, let the people sent it and it will one permote sending and lift the econmy. This is better than giving this money to bad banks and CEO,S. We the.people can do it ourselfs Mr. Mccain.

Biden-Palin Debate

I thought this debate was on answering questions with specific points and not on regorgitating learned talking points, and energizing the base, like you said Palin did. She did not even answer some of the questions! Biden was gracious enough not to remind her that she bankrupted Warsilla, although Warsilla was in black when she took over as a mayor. And what did Mr. Rolling base the 48 points he gave her on? Palin was so much into reciting her talking points that she ignored the facts Biden was stating. Remember that America has so many bases that need to be covered, and not just Palin's base. Concerning the surge, did McCain and Bush go to war in order to have the surge? The issue is that terrorists attacked us from Afghanistan and Pakistan, and we went to Iraq instead! Finally,before Sarah Palin was picked as a VP,she said that we started the war because of oil! Both McCain and Palin change their positions with the wind.

debate

You know this great country of our hasn't been great at times. The native americans lost their land to the white man simply because the white man invaded their land. During WW2 the japanes community was sequestered in make shift prison camps in this country. It hasn't been that long that the negro was finally freed from segregation. And if you think outside the box, you would understand that any country being invaded by a foreign country, would go up in arms and defend itself. It's common sense. That's how other country perceive us to be invaders. I been to South Korea, Germany, and clearly those people there do not want us there. The good ole boy doesn't want to have diaologue with countries. Why not if you know that bullying tactics don't work, talking has always been the most important thing to do when there is a conflict. Stop giving money to Iraq. Eveyone knows that if you are being given a handout, you would try to keep that handout going, so you state that you need the US to stay there. That is what Iraq is doing, holding on to that handout.

the debate

In general when they asked Mccain if he was going to cut spending and make changes, he said he hope so, instead of yes or no. He states that the government has gotten too big and we are paying for it. He has been there for more than 20 plus years and he didn't put a stop to this. I agree with Obama that there needs to be an oversight committee because I want to know exactly where my money is going for this bailout. Just like Mccain stated that billions of dollars has been spent on Iraq and he said that some of that money is falling in the hands of terrorists. Then why doesn't he stop sending that money abroad. Condoleeza Rice was grilled maybe a year or so by a committee and she was asked where is the money that is being spent on Iraq going and that there were billions of dollars that were unaccounted for to which she said she didn't know where all the money was going, she being the CEO, the woman in charge. In regards to Palin. Now we are all seeing how far good looks get you. It reminds me of the beautiful popular girl in high school that people vote for to be the president of the senior year. Everyone gawks and just are dumbfounded by her looks. Then when it comes down to the issues the light is on but theres no one home. Then you look back and see that you just voted for her looks. She has no clue on foreign relations. She was asked if she had experience, to which she said that she would work on those relations and to vote for her and Mccain. That's all she said on foreign relations. Any one in their right mind would say that they are ready to be to be president or vice president. Doing and performing your duties is a different matter.

The Debate

I think the Debate was aweful, the questions were not the ones that Americans wanted to hear, McCain look like he was a pouty child by refusing to look at Obama. I think the Obama did a good job answering the questions and I feel like he will be able to run this country well. McCain is part of the Bush era and I am sorry he is just as responisible for deregulation of the mortgage companies as the rest of this administration is. I think that McCain did answer some of the questions well but I am not comfortable electing someone who is pouty with anger problems who is in bad or quetionable health. If McCain did become president and God forbid die we would have the uneducated Palin woman in the White House who's knowledge of the world is "we can see Russia from Alaska" This debate just proved to me that Obama is a breath of fresh air, not a "good old boy" and would be the better of the two to move America into a brighter future.
