Wouldn’t be surprised if Warren endorsed Obama.

Then out goes my copy of “The Purpose Driven Preacher.”

Perfect venue for McCain to throw down the challenge to appear at Fort Hood. Making the case in public, with the media watching, would be perfect.

“If Obama can find time in his schedule for Rick Warren, he can find it for the fighting men and women of this country and their families. I will be at the town hall debate at Fort Hood. Will Obama?”

It would be rich if he did whip that out, considering our proximity to Camp Pendleton and our strong support of (and from) the Marines and their families stationed there. It would be a good way to remind BO to be careful whose company he keeps. On the other hand, as with the other times Presidential contenders have been at Saddleback, press coverage won’t be huge so he may wait for a more opportune time.

Obama: “we need change and Hope”
McCain: “Al-Quaida and terrorists”

Translation:

Obama: “more Government”
McCain: “more Government”

fixed that for ya.

Obama agrees to non-debate forum with McCain

Obama wusses out again

Jesus only had to spend 40 days in the desert where he was tempted by the devil, whereas Obama is going to have to spend 40 minutes onstage with a Republican. Far worse.

Bow down to your master, earthlings, Obama’s on the town.

Why do I sense this whole episode is about promoting Rick Warren?

because it is.

How exactly will Obama deal with America’s enemies when he can’t even share a stage for more than a moment with his political opponent?

Ed, who is going to challenge Obama about this? Fox News Channel? You? The MSM is not going to play this angle up in any serious way, and the GOP is impotent to do anything about it either.

Obama has shifted to a run-out-the-clock mode and wants to protect his lead in the general election. He can’t do that if he’s subject to scrutiny or difficult questions by John McCain, or any questioner. (Remember that BO was the #1 Democrat leading the fight to refuse to debate on Fox News during the primary season).

It’s smart politics on Obama’s part. Now the ball is in McCain’s court to try and be something other than an also-ran and make some hay from Obama’s actions.

How long will the press allow him to hide behind her pants?

As long as it takes.

They actively hide any stupidity coming from this chump, and actively try helping his election.

It’s amazing.

“If Obama can find time in his schedule for Rick Warren, he can find it for the fighting men and women of this country and their families. I will be at the town hall debate at Fort Hood. Will Obama?”

We can dream.

If someone from the McCain camp is reading, you really ought to listen to us. We’re your base, and if you want to know how to win this election, you could do a lot worse than read the posts and comments here.

Billion here, billion there, … you know the rest.

Total U.S. aid to Africa over the past 100 years is equal to about 2 months spending on our occupation of Iraq.

Is that “huge?”

Even if I make the stunning assumption that you have a clue about the actual investment in medical and AIDS-related aid to African countries, yeah, that’s huge.

Our spending in Iraq and the wot is related to the single most important national defense issue since the dissolution of the USSR, national defense being the most important job of the Federal government.

Other non-government spending by Americans to aid Africa adds billion$, which is where Warren should be focusing his distractions, since he has nothing to do with government.

Maybe someone should help him with a remedial class on the Bible. You up to it, alphie?

I’m sorry, I read “A Purpose Driven Life” and sold it a few months later at my community yard sale.

Topic Change: The American Spectator has hated Mitt from the beginning. The only reason I ever visit their site is to read Lawrence Henry.

Warren tells Rutenberg that he doesn’t plan asking tough questions of either candidate.

Then what’s the point? Tough questioning doesn’t have to be confrontational. A forum of Larry-King like questions is a waste of everybody’s time.

You beat me to it. These are increasingly dangerous times. President of the United States ought to be able to take some hard questions, God forbid if anyone can find the means and balls to actually ask this pansy Messiah.

Jaibones,

Depends on whether your cronies can siphon off most of it or not, I guess…

Billions of dollars isn’t huge? what are you, a congressman?
