[K Gardner]

18. ROFL ! Never miss an opportunity to say "the surge worked", my friends !

[NYC_SKP]

38. The "surge" was implemented because the war was such a FAILURE!

An Obama surrogate pointed that out last week, it's a good comeback any time the surge comes up.

Not to suggest that the surge was successful...

Let's hope truth prevails.

[Ioo]

8. Wow, you think?

[Heather MC]

121. McLame gave no specifics, just stated he knows how to fix it

reasserted his desire to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran

[Ioo]

5. McCain is not High Def pretty

McCain is not High Def pretty, do we really want this old bag to be the first HD Pres?

[1corona4u]

12. LOL, SD is not good for mccrap.

[MadrasT]

20. I thought the same thing the second I read

"first time in HD". McCain in HD? :puke:

[oviedodem]

23. I almost have to switch back to regular to stomach his

[Connie_Corleone]

You can say that again.

I can barely look at him. He's making me physically ill.

[1corona4u]

9. Starting with mccrap...uggh...

but they are saving the best for last.

[shireen]

10. "is she ready to be president of the United States?"

Pelley asked McCain,

"Yes," he said, while his head nodded back and forth sideways saying "no."

Anyone else caught that intro clip?!

:rofl:

[Ioo]

11. McCain First, Obama is second, that is good for us.

[Montauk6]

I guess they were thinking that Obama/Biden had a full segment weeks ago...

BTW, has McFriends had more plastic surgery?

[damndude]

118. as ha been stated - HiDef - is no his friend

his face, beyond the scars was looking pretty rough

[jillan]

13. Thanks for the heads up - still have time out west to get the dvr set up.

[MadrasT]

14. Thanks!

:kick:

[tilsammans]

15. "I would tell the American people . . .

. . . we're in bad times."

Well, DUH!!!

[medicswife]

16. Will they be tough on them? I hope that they are! Obama can

stand up to it. McCain cannot.

[Clio the Leo]

17. "Getting people in a room .... and finding common ground." AND THAT is why....

.... I am voting for Barack Obama ... one of the reasons anyway.

[likesmountains 52]

19. I wonder if he'll mention that he was a POW...

[1corona4u]

21. mccrap--we're taking over these bad loans...

have to stop the bleeding....

[1corona4u]

24. Ohh...when mccrap wants to get rid of someone, they will resign...

whatever moron.

[grannie4peace]

25. watch mccain's leg. it 's jumping all over the place.

[oviedodem]

26. The man thinks de-regulation was good for growth

[NotThisTime]

119. It was good until it wasn't... Steve Croft let that bit FLY

[MadrasT]

27. Cozy old boy special interest blah blah blah

[ecstatic]

28. did Obama already speak? Thanks nt

[MadrasT]

32. No

:hi:

[oviedodem]

33. No

[1corona4u]

29. I can't believe he says some of this shit with a straight face...

[alsame]

35. Yeah, he said he's 'enraged' about what's happening to us

innocent bystanders.

[Montauk6]

30. So everybody's failed.. hmm?

[trueblue2007]

31. I'M ON THE WEST COAST. Have to wait for 7 pm.

[cali]

34. Fucking whore. says he'd appoint Andrew Cuomo as head of the SEC

[MadrasT]

"Whore"

:rofl: I had the exact same thought :toast:

[jefferson_dem]

42. Slimy smarmy fucker.

Remember when he dropped John Lewis's name at the Faith Forum. Lewis told everyone he thinks McLame is full of shit and they have no relationship whatsoever. Cuomo should do the same thing.

[mtnsnake]

36. McCain: "Frankly, I'm not worried about the people on Wall St...but they enrage me"

Contradict yourself much, John? Jeesh.

I was adlibbing there from memory, but basicly that's what he said.

[oviedodem]

37. He is getting mad

[HughMoran]

50. He does seem bitter toward Obama - what a jackass whiner

Kinda funny watching his petulance actually.

[1corona4u]

53. He's jealous of Obama.

[HughMoran]

57. I agree

I also think it's going to be his undoing - he can't control his anger toward him.

[my3boyz]

39. Please tell me when this @sshole leaves the screen. I have him on mute but I can't even

stand to look at his face.

[1corona4u]

45. We'll let you know....I am not facing the TV either...can't do it...

[alsame]

40. "I know the economy, I know how to fix it", Really? Like he knows

how to win wars and how to catch OBL? This guy is nuts.

[1corona4u]

41. God, I fucking hate him...

[nc4bo]

43. Wants to take government OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE??!! Is that what he just said?

and move it into the RNC???!!!

:wtf:

[TexasLady]

44. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST that

Holeeeee Shit.

[nc4bo]

114. What the heck does he mean? Talk about mindblowing. He's nuts! nt

[1corona4u]

46. OMG, he's only known her a few times...he's watched her

a few times....he sees her as PRESIDENT!!!

[K Gardner]

47. "She shares my world view." WTF...

[1corona4u]

48. HE'S FUCKING CRAZY!!!

[K Gardner]

51. Is that scar on his nose new? I have to go watch this in HD ! LOL

[Phoonzang]

52. You really don't want to. It's pretty awful seeing his face up close in HD.

nt

[nc4bo]

116. His hands......his hands!! oh geez. nt

[damndude]

123. there's like 15 different commercials that could be made from his comments tonight

[TTUBatfan2008]

49. Picked her because he thought it was best for the country...

yeah right. Political pandering, period.

[jefferson_dem]

55. And...he said "I looked at her."

Literally. Dirty old bastard.

[graywarrior]

54. He's achieving the unachievable

He's a boring liar. He's sooooo boring and uninspiring, and yet he infuriates because he lies like a rug.

[alsame]

56. Pre-emptive war with Iran is fine with him. What. a. shock.

[1corona4u]

58. Obama up next....

[mucifer]

59. good now I will watch.

thanks for the heads up!

[nc4bo]

81. So Mccain is a Christian too? really? God's gonna get you if you're lying mccain. nt

[babylonsister]

60. OK, McBush scares the crap out of me. If he gets in, I expect war

with Iran almost immediately; we know trumped-up charges work. :scared:

[1corona4u]

62. Honestly, I really, really think he is done....

he has scared even republicans...if they are watching this, I think even more of the old school republicans will defect.

[medicswife]

63. He won't even bother to try diplomacy first.

He'll claim there's 'evidence' turned over to him from Bush.

God Preserve us.

[damndude]

124. i can't believe there wasn't a follow up question considering the topic

and the faulty intelligence that sold to the american public

[DCBob]

65. McCain foreign policy: bomb first, ask questions later.

[medicswife]

61. Bangin' that war drum already.

OMG he scares me!

:nuke:

Obama had better win. We can't let *that* keep control. I think he's scarier than Bush even.

[DCBob]

64. They shoud ask McCain why he and Sarah are not doing press conferences.

[alsame]

66. Oh, snap! Obama says "I have a record of believing in regulation,

for McCain it's only recent."

[1corona4u]

67. I still don't think the race is as close as they say,

I just think Obama is not leaving any stone unturned. Smart move.

[MadrasT]

68. LOLz... Obama said "Old boy network = McCain staff meeting"

:rofl:

[TTUBatfan2008]

69. LOL, they just played the old boys quote...

from Barack. "In the McCain campaign, that's a staff meeting!" :)

[Phoonzang]

70. In HD, that mole is so shiny it looks like a piercing.

[1corona4u]

120. LOL....

you funny.

[ecstatic]

71. WTF was up with his rude condescending question about never running anything

Asshole!

[PCIntern]

72. He doesn't seem to like Barack much, does he?

Mean attitude...

[1corona4u]

75. Not a biggie....Obama put him in his place...

[Kdillard]

73. Obama just handed him his ass about the Surge. That is the way he should

handle it when it is brought up in the debates.

[elkston]

Yeah. He totally *owned* that. Called it the John McCain "Mythology"

Said McCain has been wrong about Iraq for 5 years and gave quotes to illustrate his folly.

It stung and he should do the same thing if they ask him about the surge in the debates.

[jefferson_dem]

76. Love it. He shoved that shit right back into the hole where it came from.

With confidence. Total badass response. This man will not be rolled on anything. Period.

[mzmolly]

96. Yes he did!

:hi:

[1corona4u]

74. Obama is so on, I don't even know why there is any question

who will be president. I liked the way he shut Steve down on the surge too.

[Connie_Corleone]

77. He's doing very well.

[1corona4u]

78. Mccrap back on--Ok, here comes the POW shit...

he's such an ass.

[K Gardner]

80. Oh, for fuck's sakes !!! I can't watch this anymore.

[1corona4u]

84. I just turn my back to the TV....

waiting for the Obama background to come on...

[DangerousRhythm]

82. Oh gawd.

:puke:

Oh, here's one of his many homes now.

[Montauk6]

83. Here's the full symphony

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:
:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:
:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[K Gardner]

[DangerousRhythm]

87. It's sick.

It's a sickness. AND he heh heh'd after saying Hanoi. UGH!

[medicswife]

79. Sarah told him to TESTIFY!!!!

"Testify, John, Testify!!!!"

[DangerousRhythm]

86. LORD, MAKE A WAY. LORD, MAKE A WAY!

Ugh, he just totally makes me sick and so does she.

"Longest you lived in any one place?"

"Hanoi. Heh Heh."

UGH.

[1corona4u]

[medicswife]

89. Yeah, because now he hops from house to house.

Lord make a way for my newest house, Lord remove the forest and those pesky environmental regulations so I can build again!!!!

[DangerousRhythm]

97. Haha!

God hates wildlife I guess. :\

[Chloroplast]

93. LOL! Did his life end after Hanoi?

He's been in D.C. for nearly 3 decades but Hanoi's the longest he's been in one place?! Anything to get that POW bit in.

[medicswife]

99. I'm the luckiest man you'll ever be with....

and he mentioned that he'd "known" Sarah twice. lmfao
Right there is the next joke on Dave or Leno. Knew her? How? In the Biblical sense?

[DangerousRhythm]

103. I know, it's so disgusting!

Everyone should just call him PO'd Dubya because isn't that really what he is? Just a more feeble, much more pissed off, unstable Dubya.

:scared:

[1corona4u]

90. Mccrap--he's the luckiest guy...

whatthefuckever. Not this time asshole.

[ecstatic]

91. "What was that?" Umm... just a dumb, overprivileged legacy f*ck up

who knew he'd be OK regardless of his grades.

[alsame]

92. This guy isn't qualified to be a WalMart greeter, never mind

President. He comes across as totally crazy.

[my3boyz]

109. OMG...that is so funny! LOL Funny but true! lol

[Willo]

94. "I don't mind working harder than the other guy"

nice

[my3boyz]

106. Then he flashed that beautiful smile. nt

[DCBob]

95. Obama's final comments about race were superb.

That's why I love this guy and that's why he will win this thing.

[ecstatic]

100. Was it just me or did the interviewer seem angry at how well Obama

was doing?

[nc4bo]

104. Seemed like he didn't get quite the answer he was looking for, heh. nt

[DangerousRhythm]

105. Yeah, he was like CURSES, foiled again!

Like maybe he didn't expect to be owned so thoroughly? :rofl:

[DCBob]

108. Yeah. Croft did seem to be "angry" but maybe that was just to appear stern and serious.

Regardless Obama handled it all well with a nice smile.

[1corona4u]

110. He seemed somewhat peeved...

[NotThisTime]

126. He totally seemed peeved he didn't get what he wanted... wonder who he's voting for...

[AlinPA]

111. That interviewer is the worst of the rotten lot.

[1corona4u]

107. Absolutely....

I loved his candor, and his acceptance with the situation. You could see he was being very genuine.

[DCBob]

113. and very presidential.

[timeoutofjoint]

98. Obama, McCain Agree On Recession

We are in a FUNK!



http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/17/60minutes/main4456360.shtml

Obama, McCain Agree On Recession


(CBS) Both presidential candidates agree the nation is in a recession. Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and Republican Sen. John McCain, appearing in separate interviews for a special 40th anniversary edition of 60 Minutes, say the economic term applies to the current troubles and lay out their plans to solve the situation if they are elected.

Their interviews will be broadcast this Sunday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

"Oh, I think there's no doubt that…when the numbers come out, that we are officially in recession," Obama tells Steve Kroft. "I think, for a lot of people, they've been feeling like we've been in a recession for years now. When their wages and incomes don't go up, and the cost of gas and groceries and home heating oil and prescription drugs are all going up, that feels awfully like a recession to them," says Obama.

Scott Pelley asks McCain whether he thinks the country is in a recession. "Sure. technically, I don't know…Americans today don't care about what the, quote, 'technical term' is," says McCain. "Unemployment is up. Wages are down. Home foreclosures are incredibly high, the worst in many, many, many years. All of the indicators that affect the American family, unemployment being up - those people, they don't care whether technically we're in a recession or not. Fact is they're hurting and they are hurting very, very badly," he says.

The candidates were interviewed within a 24 hour period, Obama in Nevada this past Wednesday, and McCain in Wisconsin on Thursday afternoon . Their interviews will fill the entire broadcast Sunday, providing viewers a revealing side-by-side look at the candidates and their positions before their first debate on Friday, Sept. 26. ............

[1corona4u]

102. Has anyone else noticed that Obama hasn't said uh...

in the last few times he's been on TV. I have been paying attention since that shitty reporter-who ever it was, said something about it last week. I wonder if he's just making a conscience effort to not do it now. He did it when he was on Steph a few weeks ago, and I have not heard it since then.


I guess they're done. Obama did GREAT.

[grantcart]

115. all of the candidates get coaching from professional speech coaches

to try and curb the bad habits

[1corona4u]

117. Yeah but someone slammed him like a week ago...

and it was really brutal. I thought at that time, that since Obama responds to things quickly, I would see if he worked on that. It sure seems like he has in the last week. Also, when they slammed Joe for wearing a french cuff shirt, the next day he shows up in a polo and khakis, LOL....they know EVERYTHING that is being said about them. :-)

[grantcart]

125. they are also running focus groups all of the time on it as well

his 'ums' are a result of trying to be overly cautious in word selection and obviously they are trying to get him to loosen up and speak in completed phrases.

The biggest danger is in over coaching - that is why it will be interesting to see what happens in the debate with both McCain and Palin - both of them are going to be getting a lot of coaching and too much can be counter productive.

[tilsammans]

112. I am SO proud of our candidate!

Man's got it goin' ON!

:yourock:

[slinkerwink]

122. Obama did great!!!!
