Obama did his first interview since the Friday night debate with MTV:

Friday night’s often-testy debate with Republican nominee John McCain, specifically McCain’s repeated assertions that his experience makes him the stronger candidate and that Obama “just doesn’t understand” the complexities of issues like foreign policy and the economy.

“I don’t get taken aback by that kind of stuff. The problem was, every time he said it, when he tried to follow it up with an actual statement about policy or his positions about what it was he presumably understood or did ‘get,’ it didn’t make much sense,” Obama told MTV News’ Sway Calloway. “If you look at Iraq, for example, the question was asked, ‘What lessons have you learned?’ and his lesson was ‘Well, we should just stay.’ Well, that’s not a policy. … The question was ‘Should we have gone?’ He says that because he doesn’t have a record to defend himself. We’ve become accustomed in our politics to folks just being able to make stuff up — it’s one of the few areas of public life where the standards somehow are lowered in terms of what you say about other people,” he continued. “For example, he suggested that I’m talking about raising everybody’s taxes, when every analyst has shown I’m actually calling for a tax cut for 95 percent of [American] families.”

“I am talking cutting the taxes for Nurses, Bus Drivers, Cops….not for big time MTV host.”

We thought McCain was trying to mask his true beliefs, knowing that the general public will say “F*ck you”. His decrepit pasty ass did not deal with the questions, and he can lie like a rug. Our next President does not go for manipulation, and fabricated lies on where he stands with his policies.

“F*ck McCain!”

    I agree with Obama, why should citizens learn politics…we vote politicians in to do WHAT THE PUBLIC NEEDS!!

    Honestly, I would rather hear what issues of the economy are going to be solved for the regular people not the infusion of money into corporations to keep the economy strong. Talk about what we can relate to…..us

    Thought provoking to see the day when Black children in America can view a Black/interacial man be this close to becoming President of the U.S. In the 2000′s it seems that by & large the media only wants to broadcast images of Blacks living above their means, having promiscuos/life threatening sex, “hotness”, deragatory name calling & single family homes.

    Whatever the outcome, it will be interesting if the images might change after the run. Similar to increased college enrollment/graduation after a Different world aired & more Doctors/Lawyers after the Cosby show. In todays times Black images in the media inspire many to become so called gangster rappers, video dancers & pro athletes. Nothing wrong with making a living but theres only room for a few & the goal of the 3 occupations don’t leave very many options if you fail.

    Obama needs to start thinkin’/talking about re-enacting the glass-stegal act.

    These banks have run amok all in the name of greed, can’t be profits because they now have to erase the profits they thought they were making.

    IF this problem doesn’t teach congress and the SEC that there has to be a separation between which financial institutions can engage in what, then there might as well not even be a bailout plan.

  • always knew

    Obama is smarter than Mccain, hands down. Another thing I did not like about the debate, was that Mccain couldn’t look Obama, in the eye. I thought it was disrespectful and condescending. I also thought Mccain dwelled too long on previous war and world history, which is part of the problem…I;m not interested in yesterday. I’m interested in today and tomorrow..There’s a new world order adn Mccain does not get it. And what’s with the he doesn’t understand comments, It just proves what I already thought, Mccain is an idiot!

    Since many of you have the attention span of a nat, you’ll forget about this debate in the next couple of days. Then the RepubliKKKans will through up a distraction at you and some of you will change you mind about Obama. “Flipflop” they call it. It’s what most politicians do. And because many of you refuse to read, you may not know that John McCain is one of the mofu’s who didn’t want Martin King Day as a holiday in Arizona. Yet when he won the nomination, he changed his position. There’s old school and there’s old, old, old school where school was held in a shack. Guess which one McCain is from? Barack is an anomaly like when the Cosby Show was on. Peeps would be in front of the TV every Thursday night, until one day people started saying why are the black people on the show either light skinned or half black? That’s when people started saying the show was not real because the black people weren’t actually 100% black and no one knew any successful black family where the moms was an attorneys and the Dad a doctor were married. Many black professionals once they reach that status can’t wait to get a pink toe under their arm. So in a last ditch effort, they brought in 2 ghetto characters. That hail Mary didn’t work. The show went off the air. I say all that to say this, Barack doesn’t have the strong support of all black and other people of color and it’s a shame. Some of the Latin culture will not vote for him because he’s black. They will vote for McCain, yet McCain’s position on immigration in Arizona is different while on the campaign trail. Yet many of you in the Latin Culture turn your back on Barack because of skin color, yet McCain and company are treating your countrymen and women like dirt, letting them die in the desert and treating them like second class citizens in the workplace. Anyway, get ready for the Palin-Biden debate and I smell trainwreck here. In my view, at the street, white trash, racist, low class, uneducated level, America is not ready for a Black President. But would prefer an old out of control McCain and a soccer ball in one hand and a retarded kid in the other, Sarah Palin to run this country.

    New Gallup Poll numbers:

    PRINCETON, NJ — Barack Obama leads John McCain, 50% to 42% among registered voters in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday — just one point shy of his strongest showing of the year.

    These results, from Sept. 25-27, span the time period since John McCain made the announcement that he was temporarily suspending his campaign and returning to Washington to work for a bipartisan solution to the financial crisis, and since Congressional leaders first announced progress towards the resolution of a financial bailout bill. The results also include one complete day (Saturday) after the first presidential debate on Friday night. McCain had reached a point where he was tied with Obama earlier in the week, but Obama has gained steadily in each of the last three days’ reports.

  • Sydney

    Obama and McCain have both expressed their reluctant support for the tentative bailout package:

    (CBS) Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said that the looming credit crisis was an urgent situation for which action needs to be taken, but he wants to ensure that the $700 billion bailout package being crafted by the Bush administration and Congress does not amount to “welfare for Wall Street.”

    “My inclination is to support it, because I think Main Street is now at stake,” he told Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. He added, though, “I’m not happy about it.”

    “This [crisis] could affect every sector of the economy. If the credit crisis continues or worsens, then suddenly small business people can’t make their payroll. You have large businesses who can’t sell corporate debt, which could bring the entire economy to a grinding halt.”

    Remarks from McCain:

    McCain, appearing later on ABC News’ “This Week,” said he wanted still to see details, but “hopefully, yes” would back the bill.

    “This is something that all of us will swallow hard and go forward with,” McCain said.

    You were “right on” in your post. I think you are looking at things with a “glass half empty” point of view. You are correct about the concept of “greed” but that is also the very principal that capitalism is based that has made the US the richest in the history of the world. At this point if either candidate could utilize to the two original principals of George Washington (limited spending,limited international interference) we will be on the right track.

  • Sydney

    @Man, I just don’t care

    How is that a “crossover?” If you didn’t think it was, you wouldn’t have publicized it.

    Now what policies of Obama’s do you have issue with?

  • Sydney

    Obama’s full statement, by the way, on the proposed bailout package:

    The breakthrough between Congress and the Administration is the culmination of a sorry period in our history, in which reckless speculation and greed on Wall Street and lax oversight from Washington led to a meltdown of our financial markets. But regardless of how we got here, a failure to deal with the current crisis would have devastating consequences for our economy, costing millions of Americans their jobs and retirement security.

    To understand how this tentative deal was reached, it’s important to remember how this all began. The Bush Administration initially asked for a blank check to respond to this problem, which I strongly opposed. It would have been unconscionable to expect the American people to hand this Administration or any Administration a $700 billion check with no conditions and no oversight when a lack of oversight in Washington and on Wall Street is exactly what got us into this mess. If the American people are being asked to pay for the solution to this crisis, their tax dollars must be protected.

    That is why over the past ten days, in conversations with the President, Secretary of Treasury and leaders of Congress, I laid out the four core principles I believed had to guide any solution: oversight by an independent board; protections for taxpayers to ensure that they are treated like investors and that they receive any profits – and recoup any losses – from this plan; measures to help homeowners stay in their homes; and rules to make sure CEOs are not being rewarded at taxpayers’ expense. While I look forward to reviewing the language of the legislation, it appears that the tentative deal embraces these principles.

    When taxpayers are asked to take such an extraordinary step because of the irresponsibility of a relative few, it is not a cause for celebration. But this step is necessary. Now Washington has to show the same sense of urgency in dealing with the crisis facing Main Street and the middle class by passing an emergency economic stimulus plan that would create jobs by rebuilding our crumbing roads; shore up flagging state budgets to prevent drastic cuts in education and health care; and extend expiring unemployment insurance benefits for those who’ve lost their jobs in this downturn and cannot find new ones.

    One final point. If elected President, I will order a thorough review of this plan to make sure that it fully lives up to the principles I’ve laid out. And I will also move quickly to upgrade our financial regulations for the 21st century, establishing new rules of the road and tougher oversight to ensure that the American taxpayers are never again forced to put their money and their futures at risk because of bad decisions in Washington and on Wall Street.

    @Man, I just don’t care

    I’m fine. I think you’re a person who’s contrary at times, just for the sake of sparking a disagreement. Obama has just finished a few of the best weeks he has had during this campaign, and his command of the economic issues facing us has been noted by both Democrats and Republicans. The polls indicate the rise of confidence among voters of his ability to lead. Yet you claim that there will be a quicker turnaround under McCain, and you have not yet provided any basis for that opinion.

  • Sydney

    @Man, I just don’t care

    And days before the bottom fell out, McCain proclaimed that the “fundamentals” of the economy remain strong — a statement he has made repeatedly during this campaign. His economic adviser proclaimed us a nation of “whiners.” And people continue to lose their jobs, their health care, their pensions, their homes, and other essential components for day-to-day survival.

    McCain was condescending and rude often to Obama during the debate. He seem unknowledgeable about certain areas and made up lies about Obama. McCain’s demeanor was classless, he couldn’t even look Obama in the eye.

    Lastly, he does not seem like he works well with others.

    What’s up

    Nita

    I guess you didn’t hear that the vice presidential debate is cancelled? It was confirmed a few minutes ago. I’m just joking with you.

    I agree with you, but I also believe that the McCain/Palin staff is formally instructing and perfecting her skill day and night. Biden was interviewed right after the presidential debate on Friday night, while Palin wasn’t in sight (correct me if you saw otherwise). She’s been kept behind closed doors for so long, and is occasionally released to talk to America via news anchors. I just hope that the Repubs are not up to any antics by wanting Palin to be perceived by Americans as this mentally, unsound, unsuitable governor now VP. I, and several others, undervalue her capabilities, and I just hope that I’m not sorry for it. We’ll see come Thursday.

    Biden will perform greatly. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

    Did you see Tina Fey’s parody of the Couric interview last night on SNL? It’s laugh-out-loud funny. The embarrassing part is, they pretty much took the dialogue directly from the CBS interview.

    And you’re right about Palin being out of sight on Friday — One of the Republicans said she was at a debate party. I think Rudy Giuliani gave the Republican perspective, and Biden was interviewed on Obama’s performance.

    Well, if McCain’s objective was to pick someone who was less smart, he certainly achieved that. But I doubt that because he initially wanted to pick Lieberman, from what I read, and, despite what I think of Lieberman, I think he could aptly fulfill the role of vp.

    Speaking of Palin, I’ve read some rumors today that her pregnant daughter, Bristol, may get married before the election. I haven’t confirmed it yet.

    Sometimes the system blocks certain words in your post, or something like that.

    BTW, speaking of Miracle at St. Anna — which I have to see, but I will — there was a commentary on the site, theroot(dot)com, about a Spike Lee festival in Paris where his film aired. You may want to check it out.

    Wasn’t it hilarious when Obama referred to McCain as “Jim?”

    LOL…jim…

    I don’t usually watch SNL. It should definitely be on Youtube though; I’ll check it out tonight. I still haven’t seen her interview with Katie Couric in it’s entirety ’cause I was very busy that day. Did you see Giuliani? I flipped through TV networks last Friday to hear different perspectives. I enjoy watching what the competition (FOX, O’Reilly, Hannity) has to say about Obama.

    I’ll check out the Spike article as well. Thanks BTW.

    @Film

    Well, that first message went through, lol.

    I actually viewed the video today on The Huffington Post, but it’s on YouTube as well. The Katie Couric interview is also available on cbsnews(dot)com. What I’ve seen is pretty horrible, and the look on Katie’s face is priceless.

    I didn’t see Giuliani Friday night, but the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC were talking about the noticeable absence of Palin after the debate. I can’t stand Faux News, so I didn’t even attempt to turn there — Pat Buchanan is about as conservative as I can take.

    @BeReal

    I take back what I said earlier. I personally think that McCain wouldn’t mind a smart, capable male vp, but I think he doesn’t have the highest level of respect for women. There were plenty of brilliant Republican women he could have selected to be his running mate. It was a gimmicky pick to woo former Hillary supporters, IMHO.

    Sarah’s going to camp :)

    (CNN)– Gov. Sarah Palin will now spend two and a half days near Sedona, Arizona, to prepare for Thursday’s debate, instead of prepping in St Louis, as originally planned.

    Sarah Palin will be at John McCain’s rustic creek side home outside Sedona for what a top aide calls “debate camp.”

    To those wondering if Senator Barack Obama is concerned with the poor:

    The answer is yes.

    Check it out:

    Plan to Combat Poverty

    “I’m in this race for the same reason that I fought for jobs for the jobless and hope for the hopeless on the streets of Chicago; for the same reason I fought for justice and equality as a civil rights lawyer; for the same reason that I fought for Illinois families for over a decade… That’s why I’m running, Democrats — to keep the American Dream alive for those who still hunger for opportunity, who still thirst for equality.”

    — Barack Obama, Speech in Des Moines, IA, November 10, 2007

    The Problem

    Poverty Rising: There are over 37 million poor Americans. Most Americans living in poverty work, but still cannot afford to make ends meet.

    Minimum Wage is Not Enough: Even when a parent works full-time earning minimum wage and EITC and food stamps are factored into their income, families are still $1,550 below the federal poverty line because of the flat-lined minimum wage.

    Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s Plan

    Expand Access to Jobs

    * Help Americans Grab a Hold of and Climb the Job Ladder: Obama and Biden will invest $1 billion over five years in transitional jobs and career pathway programs that implement proven methods of helping low-income Americans succeed in the workforce.

    * Create a Green Jobs Corps: Obama and Biden will create a program to directly engage disadvantaged youth in energy efficiency opportunities to strengthen their communities, while also providing them with practical skills in this important high-growth career field.

    * Improve Transportation Access to Jobs: As president, Obama will work to ensure that low-income Americans have transportation access to jobs. Obama will double funding for the federal Jobs Access and Reverse Commute program to ensure that additional federal public transportation dollars flow to the highest-need communities and that urban planning initiatives take this aspect of transportation policy into account.

    * Reduce Crime Recidivism by Providing Ex-Offender Supports: Obama and Biden will work to ensure that ex-offenders have access to job training, substance abuse and mental health counseling, and employment opportunities. Obama and Biden will also create a prison-to-work incentive program and reduce barriers to employment.

    Make Work Pay for All Americans

    * Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit: Obama and Biden will increase the number of working parents eligible for EITC benefits, increase the benefits available to parents who support their children through child support payments, increase benefits for families with three or more children, and reduce the EITC marriage penalty, which hurts low-income families.

    * Raise the Minimum Wage to $9.50 an Hour by 2011: Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that people who work full time should not live in poverty. Even though the minimum wage will rise to $7.25 an hour by 2009, the minimum wage’s real purchasing power will still be below what it was in 1968. As president, Obama will further raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2011, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing – things so many people take for granted.

    * Provide Tax Relief: Obama and Biden will provide all low and middle-income workers a $500 Making Work Pay tax credit to offset the payroll tax those workers pay in every paycheck. Obama and Biden will also eliminate taxes for seniors making under $50,000 per year.

    Strengthen Families

    * Promote Responsible Fatherhood: Obama will sign into law his Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy Families Act to remove some of the government penalties on married families, crack down on men avoiding child support payments, and ensure that payments go to families instead of state bureaucracies.

    * Support Parents with Young Children: Obama and Biden will expand the highly-successful Nurse-Family Partnership to all 570,000 low-income, first-time mothers each year. The Nurse-Family Partnership provides home visits by trained registered nurses to low-income expectant mothers and their families.

    * Expand Paid Sick Days: Today, three-out-of-four low-wage workers have no paid sick days. Obama and Biden support guaranteeing workers seven paid sick days per year.

    Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing

    * Supports Affordable Housing Trust Fund: Obama has supported efforts to create an Affordable Housing Trust Fund to develop affordable housing in mixed-income neighborhoods.

    * Fully Fund the Community Development Block Grant: Obama and Biden will fully fund the Community Development Block Grant program and engage with urban leaders across the country to increase resources to the highest-need Americans.

    Tackle Concentrated Poverty

    * Establish 20 Promise Neighborhoods: Obama and Biden will create 20 Promise Neighborhoods in areas that have high levels of poverty and crime and low levels of student academic achievement in cities across the nation. The Promise Neighborhoods will be modeled after the Harlem Children’s Zone, which provides a full network of services, including early childhood education, youth violence prevention efforts and after-school activities, to an entire neighborhood from birth to college.

    * Ensure Community-Based Investment Resources in Every Urban Community: Obama and Biden will work with community and business leaders to identify and address the unique economic development barriers of every major metropolitan area. Obama and Biden will provide additional resources to the federal Community Development Financial Institution Fund, the Small Business Administration and other federal agencies, especially to their local branch offices, to address community needs.

    * Invest in Rural Areas: Obama and Biden will invest in rural small businesses and fight to expand high-speed Internet access. They will improve rural schools and attract more doctors to rural areas. And they will implement a bold climate change and energy independence plan that will revitalize rural America through new investments in renewable energy production, including wind, solar and biofuel investments.

    Barack Obama’s Record

    * Tax Relief for Low-Income Working Families: Obama created the Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income working families in 2000 and successfully sponsored a measure to make the credit permanent in 2003. The law offered about $105 million in tax relief over three years.

    * Housing: In the Illinois State Senate, Obama championed multiple pieces of legislation to help low-income families find adequate affordable housing.

    I am sorry for this being long, but I wanted people to be informed about Senator Barack Obama. He has fought issues that cause poverty and will continue to do so when he is in the White House with your vote. He has not made this election about himself-but about us, the Americans who have suffered 8 long years of lies, and shattered dreams of our sons and daughters dying in Iraq, losing homes, losing jobs, riding the bus because we can afford gas, having no healthcare, and so much more that Senator John McCain just doesn’t understand.

    I hope this helps you all to make an informed decision. I will post on Senator John McCain’s plans in the future, to be fair.

    Sarah Palin should go Parah Salin

    into a shark infested reef…

    Adroit and Witty!!

  • http://www.barackobama.com Black.Woman.4.Obama.Biden

    Now; here is Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin’s agenda on the economy:

    Workplace Flexibility and Choice

    John McCain understands that today’s changing economy is making it harder for parents to balance the demands of family life and their jobs. He believes that strong families require that parents be involved in the lives of their children. Flexible work arrangements can help families strike the right balance.

    John McCain was proud to support the Family Medical Leave Act in 1993 that ensured men and women are able to take leave to care for a newborn child, adopt a child or care for an immediate family member with a serious health condition and return to a position that is substantially equal in pay, benefits, and responsibility. This was a needed minimum standard to ensure that parents were not penalized for making the important decision to raise a family.

    John McCain co-sponsored the Family Friendly Workplace Act, which sought to allow employers to provide flexible work schedules to help employees balance the demands and needs of work and family, such as allowing employees to take compensatory time-off rather than be paid overtime and to work more than 40 hours in one week and correspondingly less in another week.

    John McCain also understands that our changing economy forces many families to deal with the disruptions that come with a job change. He believes that families should be able to hold onto the health and retirement benefits that they have chosen. He also believes that workers should be able to choose new training that fits their personal situation so that they can build new skills as their careers change.

    John McCain believes that to keep America competitive in the world economy, employers need to be able to attract and retain workers. This requires employers to offer flexible work arrangements and allow workers to bring their health and retirement benefits with them or choose new plans.

    John McCain also believes that as our workforce ages, many older Americans want to continue to stay in jobs. These workers have the experience and skills that help keep America competitive. More flexible work arrangements would enable these workers to continue their careers and help keep our economy competitive.

    John McCain is calling for National Commission on Workplace Flexibility and Choice. This Commission would bring together a bi-partisan set of leaders representing workers, small and large employers, labor, and academics. The Commission would make recommendations to the President on how modernizing our nation’s labor laws and training programs can help workers better balance the demands of their job with family life and to enable workers to more easily transition between jobs.

    The Commission would examine the following issues that John McCain believes are important to workplace flexibility and choice:

    * Modernizing the nation’s labor laws so that they allow for more flexible scheduling arrangements

    * Ensuring that the nation’s labor laws don’t get in the way of working at home

    * Promoting telework so that workers can spend less time commuting

    * Making health more portable so that workers don’t lose their benefits when they switch jobs

    * Ensuring that workers can choose retirement plans that best suit their needs

    * Providing workers with more choice in job training assistance so that they can build the skills they need for new and better jobs

    Immediate Relief

    for American Families

    Gas and Food Prices

    John McCain will help Americans hurting from high gasoline and food costs. Americans need relief right now from high gas prices. John McCain will act immediately to reduce the pain of high gas prices.

    * John McCain believes we should send a strong message to world markets. Under his plan, the United States will be telling oil producing countries and oil speculators that our dependence on foreign oil will come to an end – and the impact will be lower prices at the pump.

    * John McCain’s policies will increase the value of the dollar and thus reduce the price of oil. In recent years, the declining value of the dollar has added to the cost of imported oil. This will change. Americans will have a stronger economy, a stronger dollar and greater purchasing power for oil, gas and food.

    * John McCain believes we should institute a summer gas tax holiday. Hard-working American families are suffering from higher gasoline prices. John McCain called on Congress to suspend the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

    o Reuters: Gas Tax Holiday “Of Most Immediate Effect To Consumers.” “Of most immediate effect to consumers was his appeal to the U.S. Congress to suspend the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day at the end of May to Labor Day in early September.” (Steve Holland, “McCain Proposes Tax Cuts And Lashes Democrats,” Reuters, 4/15/08)

    o USA Today: “A USA TODAY Analysis Showed That McCain’s Gas-Tax Proposal Could Save Motorists $6.8 Billion In Taxes During The Summer.” (Kathy Kiely, “Gas-Tax Holiday Among McCain’s Plans For Economy,” USA Today, 4/16/08)

    * John McCain will repeal the 54 cents per gallon tax on imported sugar-based ethanol, increasing competition, and lowering prices of gasoline at the pump.

    * John McCain will roll back corn-based ethanol mandates, which are contributing to the rising cost of food.

    Home Plan

    John McCain believes there is nothing more important than keeping alive the American dream of owning a home. Priority number one is to keep well-meaning, deserving home owners who are facing foreclosure in their homes.

    John McCain’s approach to helping sub-prime or other financially strapped mortgage borrowers is built on sound principles:

    * No taxpayer money should bail out real estate speculators or financial market participants who failed to perform due diligence in assessing credit risks. Any assistance for borrowers should be focused solely on homeowners and any government assistance to the banking system should be based solely on preventing systemic risk.

    * Any policy of financial assistance should be accompanied by reforms that promote greater transparency and accountability to ensure we never face this problem again.

    John McCain has proposed a new “HOME Plan” to provide robust, timely and targeted help to those hurt by the housing crisis. Under his HOME Plan, every deserving American family or homeowner will be afforded the opportunity to trade a burdensome mortgage for a manageable loan that reflects their home’s market value.

    * Eligibility: Holders of a sub-prime mortgage taken after 2005 who live in their home (primary residence only); can prove creditworthiness at the time of the original loan; are either delinquent, in arrears on payments, facing a reset or otherwise demonstrate that they will be unable to continue to meet their mortgage obligations; and can meet the terms of a new 30 year fixed-rate mortgage on the existing home.

    o John McCain’s HOME Plan Will Keep 200,000 To 400,000 Families From Losing Their Homes. “But at the same time, McCain is calling for aggressive federal action to help keep 200,000 to 400,000 families from losing their homes. That plan has many of the elements of a proposal by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., requiring participating lenders to forgive part of the loan principal and then write a new loan that would be backed by the federal government through the Federal Housing Administration.” (Tom Raum, “Everyone’s Invited: McCain Economic Plan Draws From Both Parties,” Tucson Citizen, 4/17/08)

    * How It Works: Individuals pick up a form at any Post Office or download the form over the Internet and apply for a HOME loan. The FHA HOME Office certifies that the individual is qualified, and contacts the individual’s mortgage servicer. The mortgage servicer writes down and retires the existing loan, which is replaced by an FHA guaranteed HOME loan from a lender.

    * John McCain will bolster groups like Neighborworks America that provide mortgage assistance to homeowners in their communities.

    Keeping The Credit Crunch From Hurting College Students

    John McCain is proposing a student loan continuity plan. Students face the possibility that the credit crunch will disrupt loans for the fall semester. John McCain calls on the federal government and the 50 governors to anticipate loan problems and expand the lender-of-last resort capabilities for each state’s guarantee agency.

    __________________________________________________________

    I will say in fairness that John and Sarah’s plan doesn’t say middle class, but it doesn’t say upper class, or working poor either-it could be assumed that his plan is addressed to all Americans, which seems good.

    My thing is, alot of Americans have felt nameless in dealing with their day to day lives. When we have selected politicians by their name on the ballot, then I believe they have a responsibility to remember us all when they are elcted, and to do their jobs that are for us and not against us.

    The biggest issue I have with John McCain is his stance on the Iraq War. If we continue to spend to kind of money e have been spending if he is elected, then there will not be much left for his proposed agendas on relief for families or the economy. I also have a problem with John thinking he speaks for all men and women to put on the uniform to serve. Yes, there are brave Americans who have made the choice to serve in Iraq till the end, but they have families who they love, wives and husbands they can’t hold, and babies they cannot see born, and some have died before they had a chance to. And the fact that we now know that the intelligence of the Bush Administration was wrong, then it angers me that over 4000 Americans died, and John says we should stay. It really angers me that Sarah says this war is God’s will!

    I would like to believe that maybe, just maybe John and Sarah really care about the plight of ALL AMERICANS, and can name names; but I rarely see Sarah on TV even though she challenged the media on her experience at the convention, and John could not even look his equal Barack in the eye to tell him why his ideas are wrong.

    Meanwhile, Barack has named names throughout his campaign, and addressed every issue, even things that had NOTHING to do with the campaign, and he had courage to look John in his face and tell him why he is wrong, and how to fix it. Barack even praised John for his heroics in Vietnam, but John couldn’t do the same.

    My point is, if John cannot look Barack in his eyes, then he cannot look me in the eyes, ask for my vote, and disappoint me for 4 more years, or even 8. As far I am concerned, the fact that Barack and Joey named middle class AND the poor says they have courage to name names and remember to make the changes for those names, and this is why they deserve my vote.

What a Jackass! He wouldn’t even LOOK at Obama during the speech…No respect..none! But I’m supposed to have sympathy for his “war wounds!” Damn that! This is NOT the Reagan or Eisenhower administration!! Those days are gone…and soon he will be too!

    Katherine – you say you can’t vote because of change of address try absentee voting. Also, there is no reason you can’t go back to your old area and vote. You have rights and being without an address is not reason enough to deny you a vote. So try to vote absentee or go back to your last polling area.

    Rep. Michael Burgess – “we are under Martial Law”

    September 28th, 2008 | Breaking News, Constitutional Crisis, Economy, Federal Reserve

    By: D. H. Williams @ 4:20 PM – EST

    Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) reports from the floor of the House that the Republicans have been cut out of the process and called unpatriotic for not blindly supporting the fraudulent bailout. He says the only debate has been about what talking points to use on the American people. The most ominous revelation is when he claims the Speaker has declared martial law.

    “I have been thrown out of more meetings in this capital in the last 24 hours than I ever thought possible, as a duly elected representative of 825,000 citizens of north Texas.” Said Congressman Burgess.

    Burgess asks the Speaker of the House to post the bailout bill on the internet for at least 24 hours instead of passing the largest piece of legislation in US financial history in the “dark of night.”

    The most frightening part of Rep. Burgess’ one-minute floor speech is when he says, “Mr. Speaker I understand we are under Martial Law as declared by the speaker last night.”

    I AM WASTING MY TIME TALKING TO YOU YOU ARE CLUELESS… THAT WAS AS RESPECTFUL AS I CAN BE SERIOUSLY… PEOPLE LIKE ME FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND TRUTH, I COULD HAVE NEVER BEEN A SLAVE, PEOPLE LIKE YOU WAITED AROUND UNTIL SOMEBODY ELSE TOLD YOU IT WAS OK TO LEAVE.

    They are all the same- Dennis Kucinich believes NASA should be looking harder for aliens. He’s funny and fiery, but he’s a nut job okay? And Obama would never even dare set foot inside Pakistan w/o permission, they are our allies, and they have nukes. Obama ain’t stupid.

  • Sticky-n-Sweet

    And B. Obama is a FINE ASS BLACK MAN! The fact that he’s a good Black man devoted to his wife and children makes it so much better!

    Amazing – I agree that we should not get carried away without also looking at the whole picture because that would just make you a blind follower.

    However, there is nothing wrong with being passionate about the person you support. Obama did make some mistakes but overall his supporters felt he did a great job. The polls are not exactly in the middle after the debate, the undecided group is large and the polls had Barack ahead.

    I am sure on the republican sites they are just as passionate about McCain and overlooking his faults. I even saw the orators who supported him on the news not mentioning his mistakes but not detailing his mistake. I ain’t mad at em…that is what supporters do!!

    GO OBAMA!!!

  • Vote Obama

    Start from the bottom up, better our highway systems, better our education and healthcare, are some of Baracks goals. PEOPLE do you not look forward to that better future? Did YOU not see Barack look you in your eye, through that television, at that debate and tell you he has a change coming for you!!!!!!!!

    @Eddie – I am always happy to see independent black people but not everyone want to be independent. Being an entrepreneur involves risk and resources. Not everyone has the drive or even want to go that route. Of course no one ever got rich working for other people but they can live comfortable or can survive.

    Overall black people are behind in our concepts of money and saving so lots of what you are saying is not even a concept we can grasp yet. Now a days people are just trying to survive…if you are in a different bracket that is wonderful but you are in the minority. The rest of us want to know that law makers are thinking and feeling our pain.

  • Vote Obama

    Addressing @man I just dont care, you should care. This is your gift your shot at life, born into America, A country your suppose to be free and have unlimited opportunities. Dont you feel like your in a foreign country now. Your fellow Americans are fighting dumb ass wars, dieing, making your Presidents rich. You have to wait in line for one of your major resources, whats next? Mccains policies are no different from Bushs policies and look at sarahs no policies.

  • Amazing!

    @BE,

    I don’t mind people being passionate…do your thing. But when that passion starts to breed ignorance, that’s when I have to step in. Again I’m not a supporter of either party. But to label McCain as a racist is crazy. What facts do people have of him being racist? None whatsoever. You’re right it’s not exactly down the middle but this is proof that Barack cannot close this deal. I honestly don’t like what this race has brought out in people because I believe it’s brought out the worse. People have been bashed because they aren’t on the Obama consensus, and I really can’t wait til this election is over.

  • eddiedollars215

    @be… that is the problem… and that is how the democrats ruined black people… they appealed to emotions, and got black people to liberalize and rely on the government, instead of practicing true conservatism as had been the case since Africa. I am not voting McSame or Obama. I don’t uderstand how people are still stuck in this democrat slave mentality, the only difference is the government has replaced the slave master… SERIOUSLY DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID… THEY DECLARED MARTIAL LAW… AND HAVE SUSPENDED POSSE COMITATUS… REPEAT THEY DECLARED MARTIAL LAW TO PASS THIS TREASONOUS BILL… AND HAVE SUSPENDED POSSE COMITATUS… WAKE UP…

    U.S. jets violate Pakistan’s airspace again

    The International News

    September 28, 2008

    PESHAWAR: Two US jetfighters Saturday night again intruded into Pakistan airspace over South Waziristan area, causing panic among the tribesman. However, neither the security forces nor the tribesmen fired upon the fighter planes. Sources in the tribal agency confirmed to The News that two US jetfighters for about 25 minutes hovered over Angoor Adda, Baghar and Momin Tangi area of the agency. The planes that came across the border from troubled Paktika province of Afghanistan, after the flight over the area went back without any action.

    @amazing – I think McCain is more stupid than a racist. Subtle racism is hard to prove but most minorities recognize all the tricks.

    I do think that Barack will be able to seal the deal because as McCain/Palin begin to talk their true selves will be revealed.

    Go Obama!

    @Eddie – I personally feel like black people are ruining black people because many of us refuse to evolve. The democratic party is only as good as how the people hold the elected officials to….once you vote it does not end there you have to hold that officials feet to the fire.

    The same will be for Obama – keep up those promises

  • Oshie (Jazmine Sullivan wishes she was Lauren Hill)

    @ Redd: The debate was weak and it made me remember why I hate polititians. That being said even my staunch republican husband said, “Obama is a very good speaker, I might vote for him”. Woo hoo!
