G G Obama?

[nutzbuster 7]

Looks like this is McCains election to lose at the moment.Several new polls are discovering that Obama is now suffering from the inevitable affliction that has plagued so many other MTV-esque era drive by media creations that have gone before him....O V E R - E X P O S U R E. People are starting to get sick and tired of his holier than thou sermons and attitude, the arrogance and sense of entitlement he seems to exude lately, as if he's already been elected! The whole Obama Mania thing is finally starting to wear thin.People are also beginning to drill down a bit trying to get at the facts, and are seeing that this guy, as slick as he is and as great a speaker as he is, just has nothing to back it all up. He is untested and just has no experience to run the most powerful nation on the planet. He simply is just not ready.Even his most ardent supporters, those unwashed masses in the streets, lining up with their hands out, most of these Obama sheeple can not tell you what this guy will do if elected, or what he ever did during his lengthy(???) 140 days as a Senator. They just are enamoured by the messiah, Obama the healer, the giver of all that is good! our savior!!! Their tunnel visioned allegiance is not unlike the frenzied followers that flock to "walk again and be HEALED!!!" by those phoney miracle worker charlatans who fill stadiums. Not all, but many. It's actually quite sad.The debates/town hall meeting should be very interesting.And don't forget to check your tire pressure....

I think you're a bit premature to be writing Obama's obituary. For one thing in the last national poll I saw he's ahead of McCain 47% to 42%. Plus I think when the voters finally get into the voting booth, they'll be thinking about whether or not they are better off now than they were 8 years ago and for most the answer will be no. McCain won't be able to shake that Republican label loose no matter how much he tries to be a RHINO.

There are a lot of polls out there and most of them still show Obama with a lead. If you break it down state by state on the electoral map McCain is going to have a hard time winning imo.

[Nimue1995 1]

In the end, it will be the economy not race that determines who wins. The voter will have to decide if the falling economy will be better fixed by more of the same or a different path. And I know we fall on different sides of that issue Nut.

Obama is leading in 4 of the 6 battleground states, but except for Mi they are 2 point or less leads....which will actually be McCain wins in the voting booth. There is no question that BHO is slipping, and thats going to put pressure on him to get more aggressive in campaigning which could backfire, as more and more people realize he actually isnt anything new.

Obama is still leading in the only thing that matters: fund raising.In todays world, money wins elections, not character, not experience, but money. And Obama has too much of it to lose.Can ya tell I've gotten a bit cynical?

And this is the problem with our country and the voters. They associate the economy directly to the president of the United States. Obv they have some influence, but it is not nearly as much as people think. The Fed and Congress have a large influence that the president does, and also normal supply and demand curves set a lot of it.

And the normal business cycle.I dont think its quite as bad as you imply though. The President does influence the economy in one very important respect and that is taxes. I think people are finally getting the message that the President can strangle an economy by raising taxes, even if they don't believe that cutting them can help grow the economy.One of McCains jobs is going to be to communicate just how much BHO's version of Camelot will cost in terms of taxes. Once undecideds see that the notion of paying for them by "taxing the rich" is an out and out lie BHO has nothing left to stand on.

If you are pinning your hopes on McCain winning the debates against Obama, that's pretty silly. Obama is tailor made for the debates; it is where he will excel especially standing next to a stiff old man. If Obama can stay even a point or two ahead until the debates he will probably win.as for the tire pressure......http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/...1829354,00.htmlDarn facts always ruining a good GOP jokefest...

Come on now, don't be an ignorant Republican. It's a fact that it helps. Just a bit, but it helps. Also, if McCain wins somehow I guarantee you that I'm going to punch you in the face! Hard too, I've been working out. This WORLD needs Obama to win and that's more of a concern to me than what's best for YOUR bottom line. Obama win... you avoid punch to the face. McCain wins... take your glasses off, I don't want them to shatter and cut eyeball!

What is the going life expectancy for Caucasian males? McCain may not even make it to the debates.

Well this is obv. and thought it went without saying. But taxes go through congress also.

This is funny for many reasons, first the midget fight between DN and Scott. If I wasn't already voting for McCain this would have sealed the deal.Second, how can you say the World needs Obama to win. That is such a ridiculous blanket statement. How is he going to help the world? Will he take more of our dollars and tax the oil companies to give to other countries now instead of ours. He is just going to tour the globe his whole presidency spreading good will?

dont be a Kool-Aid drinking Canadian pinko. He didnt say "it helps a bit", he said it would save as much oil as drilling in continental shelf would produce. Its just another in a long list of statements he makes that are either hopelessly naive or outright lies. And the vast majority of Americans inflate their tires to the right pressure anyway.Let Obama move to Canada and save that world. He will totally f*&k up this one.

OMG, I can't believe you just threw down! Guess I'll have to get back in the gym now too...thanks a lot man! Truth be told, I'm actually voting for Paris. She's hawt. And if you punch me, first we'll work out how to split the video proceeds, and then I'll have to sic Balloon Guy and a few of his friends after you. They are some tough cookies ...

Actually for a 71 year old in the US life expectancy is 15 years. On the other hand Obama has already exceeded the life expectancy for a black male from Chicago, so he's playing on borrowed time.

The world is better off when America is viewed in a positive light and their isn't as much anti-American sentiment abroad. McCain would not make things better in that regard, it's absolutely clear that Obama would. Obama is liked. That is very valuable in negotiating with other leaders in ways that would obviously benefit the U.S. McCain is a war expert. That's literally all he knows. His wife orders movie tickets online and he's like, "Wow, she is a wizard! Amazing how the internets work!" Having an understanding of the internet is extremely important and McCain has admitted to being pretty clueless about it. I don't care who you are voting for, you'd be totally lying if you said you thought McCain would be better for the U.S. in terms of world view. As far as I'm concerned, that's an extremely important issue to me and it's one of the key reasons I like Obama so much. He gets it. He gets that you don't go to Sturgess and be all, "Screw the Berliners, we got 50,000 racist bikers right here, Germans suck ass." It's about diplomacy and being fair. McCain couldn't possibly measure up to Obama. Do you guys really want a leader who specializes in precisely one thing... WAR? All he knows is the military.

double post sorry.

Hi there!Concerning the view from outside the US, Obama has a very positive standing here in Germany. Most people think that he is the best for the job and that things will turn positive when he is president. Two or three wekks ago he was in Berlin and the German press only reported the whole day from his visit and success here in Germany. People welcomed him like a rock star.There was a speech from Bruce Springsteen some time ago about how he would like to see Obama as president: Springsteen: Obama should lead an American reclamation projectelsewhereFrom Bruce Springsteen:Dear Friends and Fans:LIke most of you, I've been following the campaign and I have now seen and heard enough to know where I stand. Senator Obama, in my view, is head and shoulders above the rest.He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next President. He speaks to the America I've envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems, a country that's interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit. A place where "...nobody crowds you, and nobody goes it alone."At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships. While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man's life and vision, so well described in his excellent book, Dreams From My Father, often in order to distract us from discussing the real issues: war and peace, the fight for economic and racial justice, reaffirming our Constitution, and the protection and enhancement of our environment.After the terrible damage done over the past eight years, a great American reclamation project needs to be undertaken. I believe that Senator Obama is the best candidate to lead that project and to lead us into the 21st Century with a renewed sense of moral purpose and of ourselves as Americans.Over here on E Street, we're proud to support Obama for President.I am not involved directly because I will not vote as a German, but what Springsteen said about the possible way with Obama as president, reflected my thoughts and wishes for the futureGood nightJerseyGirl

1) The anti-US sentiment is exaggerated2) Most Americans really dont care. We lead by example and do what is right and necessary, not what a consensus of the world wants us to do. If they join us, great, if they don't, somebody should be keeping score.3) Most of the anti-US sentiment there is exists among the general populations, not leaders, so we care even less4) Leaders of other countries know BHO is an empty shell with no experience. If they welcome his election its because they think they can manipulate him. Not what I want in a President.5) BHO specializes in one thing...spending.

If The Boss supports him you know he'll be a disaster.

If The Boss supports him you know he'll be a disaster.

Why? A desaster?I think the most important of all is humanity, to care about others, to support people. And this is what Bruces songs are about. To see the other side, even if you are a "lucky one", to feel with other persons, to picture what it is like when your are born on the wrong side.And war is the wrong way! We are one world and when there is any chance too "act" against war, then as one world, not as single countries! And I think that is the reason why most of the countries would like to see Obama as president! Sorry, my English is not good enough to explain my view in detail

Because he's a socialist, and hasn't had a good record since Born to Run, hasn't had a great one since Greetings from Asbury Park.I'd rather listen to the Scorpions, and theyre awful! (though compared to Rammstein, Bruce is postively great!)du hast mich gefragt!
