Click on the above and you'll see a guy who's really in love ... with himself.

It's a picture of Obama with his paternal grandma and he's hugging her. Check it out.

vor, well, it can't be worse than the second coming of bush under the guise of mccain.

"second coming of bush under the guise of mccain"

Heh, you'd say that no matter who the Republican candidate was.
Madverts at 11:01 PM JST - 4th November

sarge, I had other complaints regarding the failed republican candidates. Until mccain conducted a shameful hate campaign in his run this time 'round, I actually had a smidgeon of respect for the geezer...

..though I'm sure this respect will return as he heads off to an exclusive retirement home on the morrow, with your "sarah" shrieking her way back to Alaska and of couse, heh, obscurity.

Tally-ho.

It's sad that the timing of this will put a damper on the day for the Obama family.

Sushi,

Thanks for the information. Wow, could the CRP sink any lower? I don't even know if karl rove would have gone there. This has to be the ann coulter, sean hannity crowd. These scum tried hitting Sen. Obama below the belt at the worst time, and they did so knowing that sarah palin puts her children's travel on the taxpayer's dime. Yet, they have no problem with that.

That candidate mccain would throw every bit of integrity he once had out the window by pandering to these lower life forms within the GOP is as damning an indictment as I can think of as to why he has no business leading a nation, let alone the United States of America.

Thank God Americans see that and will not allow it to happen.

"he ( McCain ) has no business leading a nation"

That's not what General Powell would say.

"shameful hate campaign"

Because McCain dared to criticize Obama, he ran a "shameful hate campaign." Well, at least his campaign didn't have anywhere near as many lies as Obama's campaign. "95% of Americans will get a tax break" - give ME a break!
Madverts at 11:15 PM JST - 4th November

No, sarge, I can only put it down to the hate ads, the "ties to terrorists" and that silly woman he (or someone) chose as his running mate that would probably freak even you out if you actually tuned up the volume when she's on the telly.

"That's not what General Powell would say."

Who cares what he says. He prostituted himself for Bush Co and has paid the price.

No, but neither did he endorse McCain.

The day is drawing nearer when Obama will need to be held accountable to his rhetoric.

Will he really lower my taxes?

Will his spread the wealth policies help the economy or will it drive it further into the dirt?

Will his policies increase energy prices to the point where if any taxcut does occur is negated by higher energy cost?

Will he trample on the US Constitution in an attempt to solidify Democrats control of government?

Will the media continue to be Obama's personal Monica Lewinskies or will they start living up to their journalistic responsibilities?

"Will he really lower my taxes?"

Har!

"Will his spread the wealth policies help the economy"

Har!

"Will his policies increase energy prices"

Of course.

"Will he trample on the Constitution"

Well, he hasn't talked glowingly of it. It stands in the way of the government's ability to do things to people.

"Will his policies increase energy prices"

Of course.

Har yourself. Energy prices have already increased LOADS without Obama's help. Once again you have gone all partisan on what is an inescapable fact for EVERYBODY.

I would comment on the rest, but I don't have time right now believe it or not.

"Will he really lower my taxes?"

Har!

More partisan nonsense completely ignoring the skyrocketing colossus we call the national debt. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have much choice but to raise taxes (save for maybe some genuine imperialism). But do not worry. We all know which party oversaw the mounting debt and which party oversaw the surplus that preceded it. Har! Or should I say "ouch!"

"Will he trample on the Constitution"

Well, he hasn't talked glowingly of it.

What, GWB's "piece of paper"?

It stands in the way of the government's ability to do things to people.

Please quote Obama on the constitution.

It was amazing, was it not, the way the media published NOTHING about the Rezko affair, Reverend Wright, illegal foreign campaign donations, or comments about throwing Grandma under the bus. I was forced to scour right wing blogs just to get all that. Yeahright!

Man, the desperation and despair is getting really obvious one side of the political spectrum.
