Actually no. He is driving the US into deeper debt. Can you say $1.4 trillion deficit? I know you have to spend money to make money, but maybe America is really screwed… not sure if it matters by this point who you put in the White House.

I was really glad to see Clinton come out yesterday in support of Obama. Despite my fears, she actually seemed sincere in her endorsement and gained much of my respect back. I faulted her for some of the wedges she had put into the Democratic party by suggesting votes should be counted in an inconsistent way and placing doubt in her supporters minds about the validity of this election. However, I think she also did a great job of talking to some of her more adamant supporters in a way that led them to Obama. If she continues to work toward unity (as I now beleive she is capable), I think that she can prove an asset, rather than a liability to the Democratic party and should be involved in some way in leadership of the party (not sold on Vice-president right now, but some major role where she can work for issues that have been important for her). Only time will tell if her speech was enough, but I am very happy to see the Democratic party come together.

Have looked him up again, just in case I missed something that made it look like this guy has actually improved McCain’s knowledge of the economy. Turns out nope. Joined in Summer 2007, while still a lobbyist for a foreign bankA, and comments by McCain citing his lack of knowledge came after this guy joined his campaign. Also has a decent, although not outstanding record. (Tried to pass some changes to the budget, but were deemed unconstitutional or counter to other budget guidelines). If this is who you cite as the one guy you go for economic advice you’re in trouble. I haven’t decided if this is better or worse than ignorance of the economy. At least then you can’t mess it up too much.

Comment by lallz on another page.

“She’s a MILF though. I’d trade my first wife for her. If I had a wife. Can I even have a wife being female? I mean what does one call the other half in a civil partnership?
Who cares, Cindy McCain for MILFy first lady!
And McCain for President, too!”

This is so seriously sad that Lallz a woman and values plastic beauty over actual intelligence and drive. Give praise to those women who get by on their money and looks and taunt women who make a strong political career for themselves by saying that it was only because of a man. Way to strengthen the rather weak case of misogynistic males. If you read my other posts, I am not a Hillary supporter, but she is definitely worthy of respect for many things she has accomplished in her political career, often despite Bill. I seriously doubt from your ignorant posts that you are a strong independent woman. But, if you are a women who has worked against sexism and made a career for yourself, I hope that you are embarrassed at your own comments and never have anyone use comments like this against you.

How blind is the general American public? Ron Paul was a very promising candidate but people are too blinded by the heavily controlled mass media to even realize it. Oh well, here’s to another 8 year “bush” regime.

Hillary lost my vote when she had Rupert Murdoch at a fundraiser. She lost my vote when she voted for authorization to use force based on lies that she didn’t research before voting. Hillary lost my vote for not having a strong stance against the illegal and immoral war in Iraq. But that’s the way that I was thinking. I doubt seriously that most voters in the primary gave much time to researching the candidates fully. No matter. It’s over. Time to unite and move forward.
Hillary had my respect, had name recognition, money, people and power going in, and it didn’t matter. In a political race, all but one lose for any given office. It’s the way of things. I don’t think it helps anyone to gloat over a win (which is why Obama is decidedly *not* doing that, you might notice). It also doesn’t help to call the loss on Hillary’s part “epic”, whether it was or not is a matter of opinion anyway. Can we start to let it go?
Somehow, and I don’t know exactly how, but some number more than half of the remaining liberals/progressives/Democratic Party members voted for the man who is well spoken, well organized and well respected who has little name recognition, little political experience, but more candor and grass roots money (as opposed to lobbyist from the weapons manufacturing industry as Hillary and McCain both do).
The American people are broke, worn out from lies, and worn out from corrupt bought off politicians who say one thing and do another. It’s time to *start* to end that, and Obama is at the moment our best hope, like it or not. I hope that supporters of Senator Clinton will realize that it’s not about her being female, it never was. I seriously hope that there is a place for Clinton in the cabinet or in another position. It’s not about Obama being black, or male, it never was for me anyway. It’s about the fact that America is headed down a really bad road, and turning it all around as quickly and as best as possible is job number one. Once in office, I hope that Clinton supporters will not continue to say things that I’ve heard like “He’s not leadership material”, or whatever. This is why I hope that Obama does offer Clinton some part to play in the new leadership. The majority spoke, and the primary is over with a clear winner. We should be happy that there was a clear winner, and not some muddied mess that blows the last real opportunity for good governance. We should all start to focus on the real problem, which is _8_ more years of McCain/Bush/Cheney et al. If we don’t say “it was a good race, well played” and make up, we _lose_. All of us. Hillary and Obama are not the problem. Either one of them would have been a far better choice, That much is certain. Let’s do what Replicans do best and get all of our force behind one arrow, shall we?

Hasn’t surrounded himself with the smartest of people? Are you talking about Wright or something? Who was never part of his campaign Whether you agree with Obama or not, you have to give him credit for running a very tight campaign. Very few mistakes, no high-level defections, great media relations, never-before-seen grassroots financial support. And he has played to win, not to beat Hillary in places she stood to win anyway. That’s why her campaign is broke and he has three times the treasury of McCain. People keep talking about experience — looks to me knows how to run things pretty well.

If you are really interested in the efforts Obama has taken to surround himself with a diverse array of “the smartest of people,” read the attached article from the Chicago Tribune. With over 700 policy experts advising him, it’s hard to list them all, but this provides some highlights of the very intelligent, knowledgeable and well respected members of his policy team. However, it is important to note that Bush has a (and had some that thought better of working with him) some very intelligent people working for him as well. It is also important that you listen to and understand the information given by those you consult, which Obama has proven by being able to articulate his stances in both public speeches and impromptu forums. http://www.chicagotribune.com/services/newspaper/printedition/monday/chi-obama_mon_nusep17,0,3844054.story

Ok, when you provide evidence that he’s doing that we’ll talk. Also, evidence that Obama has not surrounded himself with some damn smart people? He has a coherent and consistent policy on the war, the economy, health care, energy independence (which he cosponsored in the senate). If you don’t like it that’s fine, but they are well thought out by all means. Who sounds like they are asking for “on the job training” when they admit they they haven’t come up with a goos understanding and plan for the economy and his campaign says it’s a work in progress. Not Obama, that’s for sure who has educated himself and has a campaign that can articulate it. My fault in McCain is that he has not made these steps ahead of time or even by the time he started his run. This if thing is a big if at this point. This “trust me, I’ll get eventually” mentality doesn’t even work with college students let alone presidential candidates. have a plan that is well thought out *before* you think that you’re a good presidential candidate. And, if you can’t come up with one on your own, at least understand what your advisers have told you so that you can let people know.

Obama hasn’t surrounded himself with, well, the smartest of people. You don’t have to know everything and how to do it to be a good leader – you have to be able to delegate, and surround yourself with people who might outshine you, for the greater good, in order to make a difference, to be a good leader.

I’m not for McCain, but if he has a good economic advisor, who cares if it’s not his strong suit – he won’t be dealing with it.

I don’t know how we ended with such a horrible field of candidates this year, but it’s rather disappointing.

LOL at the person who finds me using ‘housewife’ insulting. If she’d worked her way to her position a la Maggie Thatcher, I’d have respect for her, as it is, she is only where she is because she was the presidents wife.

Oh, someone doesn’t know how to debate with facts, that’s so sad. I’m sure it must have been frustrating and without facts, all you can do if imply that they have had a torrid relationship with someone. Perhaps you meant to imply I was gay too. Not sure on that one, but I’m a progressive woman, so it doesn’t work on many levels. However, not not really offended, could prove that one wrong too and you have in no way addressed my argument. I’m going to have to claim epic win here too, since I actually have a sound argument based on the real state of the world and you have absolutely no argument.

Don’t worry, bobby. Despite not having any ‘real’ candidates for the coming election – and by ‘real’, I mean ‘viable’ – Obama’s screwed his Messianic image over well enough that I don’t believe you will have to move anywhere.
