What a nut we have running for the Presidency, blasting his big mouth off every time on anything? Now he’s stirring in voters’ fears about Iraq, with gasoline prices …. tell them when he gets in they will pay dollar a day for gasoline?

Senator Obama, have you ever heard of OPEC? Seems to me you have not; I hear you shouting your big mouth off about the gasoline price.

Well son, lem’me tell you then. Them is kind of a Union, unnerstand? Big Fellows got together long before the War, very long ago, way back before you were born, and formed this Union of Oil Producing Export Countries, called OPEC. Them fellows determine the oil price, and they try their utter best to determine supply as well.

Son, if you want to pick that 3 am phone up and call them, you can check it out, see. And I suggest you ask them about the Iraq War at the same time. You may find out a whole darn lot of them want America to stay in there permanently to help them against Iraq, you see they don’t always get along with each other …. old Saddam was not on good terms with all of them, kind of not everyone’s friendly neighbor, see.

Then son, when you have done that tell us how you suggest we end this war. Way I heard you said all our soldiers gotta be back here by end March next year. Are you gonna pick up the 3 am phone to call General Petraeus and say: “Lookie here General, this Waw is ovuh, heah, get them soldiers home on the double, heah, THIS IS AN ORDER GENERAL?”

I could tell you a lot more about oil prices and supply/demand and oil profits/export earnings, all kind of things, but we leave that for another day. You need the time to prepare another stupid speech.

You are really, double really, nuts/wacky/big mouth/empty shell. My oh my, iffin you by chance get this nomination, them Reps and American Business will chew you up, son, and spit out the hollow bones.

Maybe I should close with a little more advice: them Voters you think are all sheep and you think them sheep will follow you blind. They won’t do that no longer, Son, soon’s they realize what a Liar you are, they will get rid of you. Poor Baby? Duh!

I wonder how much sympathy the 1,000,000 legitimate homeowners have for those 35.000 who acted irresponsibly.

Enough to raise taxes to bail them out?

Looks to me like McCain has the numbers so keep it up Obama!

Once again, the Tax and Spend cards are clearly labled and on the table. Big government, new taxes, social welfar programs, all of which will be paid out of our pockets. Easy for a millionair who received a 40,000 dollar tax refund and spent Easter in the Carribean (not in church like the good Christain he claims to be….because he is not Orthodox Christain who celebrate Easter in April, after the Jewish Passover). It is the middle class who is going to pay for all of this reducing the amount of income we have to pay our bills, buy gas, fuel oil for our homes, grocery money, medicines for our children and elderly. He is going to tax this nation into deep recession.

hillary just came out with an economic plan, I’m sure obama will copy it, but just tweak it a bit so he could call it his own, just like he parroted her in the debates.

Change? Change? How is the same tired; raise taxes to throw money at a problem that isn’t something that federal dollars are meant to finance, Change? Does Obama hear himself talk? I suppose somebody somewhere will say I’m wrong, but the mantra of Democrat “tax and spend” isn’t change. It is going to force taxpayers to bail out the idiots who weren’t smart enough to read the fine print or to just simply compare the mortgage and insurance payments against their income. DUH!!! DUH!!! DUH!!! I need to have the government pay my mortgage because I’m a freakin’ moron!!! DUH!!! DUH!!! DUH!!! McCain is the man. Obama is just a junior Democrat that needs to grow up a little more before he plays with the grown ups.

Mr. Obama with no strategic plan for any issue impacting America and the world , who has lots of second-hand speech making and “flower-power” words, can attack either McCain or Clinton on these issues. Ludicrous!

Congress has a very low approval rating because they have been sitting back and Obama is one of them. Who is looking out for the people with fixed incomes relying on certificate of deposit interest rates that have dropped as a result of Fed action? Will the government freeze the rates at the higher levels when it is time for renewal?

What a bunch of crap! The economy is in trouble! The housing market is in trouble!

What’s next the sky if falling?

Folks why is it when 95% of the people in America are employed we have an unemployment problem?

Why is it when 95% of us that own homes are paying our mortgage on time is there a housing or mortgage crisis?

The problem is too many people want to have instant gratification! They can’t wait! They have to have it now! Even if that means going in debt and putting it on plastic at an interest rate of 17 percent! How crazy is that?

Jihn McCain is right and Obama/Clinton are wrong! We should sit back and wait and see how things shake out. Why not let the housing market correct itself? If anybody feels the need to do something they should be encouraging our government to go after those companies and CEOs that were greedy and caused this mess with the sub prime loans!

It’s time the greedy people suffered the consquences of their greed! The government is not obligated to spend the tax payers money to bail those who are either stupid or greedy or both!

No more bail outs and No more hand outs!

Hearing Obama lecture McCain on anything is like listening to a third-grader try to correct a college professor.

everytime obama opens his mouth, he sticks his big lying mouth in it. the part about his speech in north carolina about “stupid” comments distracting us fro the issues is ridiculous. he has been trying in a vain attempt to distract america from him and his racist pastor. is it just a coincidence that the obamas and the good pastor were both vacationing in the caribbean very recently ? obama was in the virgin islands, wright in puerto rico. pretty close as the crow flies, wouldnt you agree ? the truth be known, they met and discussed how they could get out of this scandal. the pictures of the rev. are permantly etched into the minds of the american people. and its not going away no matter what obama dreams up to change it.

Obama is absolutely clueless when it comes to the economy!! He yaks and yaks about nothing and has a plan to just that!! All he can do is point a finger and make an accusation that remind me of school yard antics. Hillary does the same! They are both TOTAL losers! They are losers because they both support Socialist ideals and neither can lead a Horse to water!!

Maybe Obama can have Rezko put some cash into the economy.
That’s where he usually goes when he is short on funds.

If Obama could just show me where in the constitution it says the Federal government has the jurisdiction to rewrite mortgage contracts for people then maybe I’d consider his silly ideas. Until then I’ll point him to the 10th Amendment. McCain’s got the right idea, the gov’t needs to stay the heck out of people’s personal lives and businesses.

And Obama’s wrong in saying, ‘…millions of Americans are losing their homes…’ The banks own those homes and those people could never afford them in the first place.

This is where we draw the starkest contrasts between Obama and McCain. Obama believes that the government should regulate and subsidize every issue that is popular with the public. McCain believes that the government should stay out of the personal lives and pockets of Americans. McCain doesn’t want us to lose the independance and self-support that made America great. Obama wants to make America an entitlement based socialist state. The strongest evidence of these goals is in their economic policies.

Obama at least McCain said he didn’t know the economy that well. That means he told the truth. This is why we have people who do know it well to make sure the right thing is done.

You on the other hand couldn’t tell the truth if your life depended on it. Remember you first said,” I didn’t know Wright was racist”, Listen dude the people who are up in arms over you have the right to fill this way. And don’t worry we haven’t forgotten the other problems we have in the US. We just want to make sure you aren’t the one who becomes the Master in Chief.

Figures. Obama just wants to waste ( taxpayers) government money that the federal government realistically does not have. I have to agree with McCain on this situation.

McCain McWar McHypocrite!
Ask him about the KEATING FIVE when he bailed out:

At Keating’s behest, four senators–McCain and Democrats Dennis DeConcini of Arizona, Alan Cranston of California, and John Glenn of Ohio–met with Ed Gray, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, on April 2. Those four senators and Sen. Don Riegle, D-Mich., attended a second meeting at Keating’s behest on April 9 with bank regulators in San Francisco.
Regulators did not seize Lincoln Savings and Loan until two years later. The Lincoln bailout cost taxpayers $2.6 billion, making it the biggest of the S&L scandals. In addition, 17,000 Lincoln investors lost $190 million.

And I hit Obama on his “sit back” approach of sitting in a pew for 20 years at a racially divisive church. What is the difference?
