Asked during an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether McCain deserved credit for bringing lawmakers together, Obama said “no.”

Well, since it failed, I guess Obama gets all the credit!

Has anyone seen the continuing poll on AOL which started several weeks ago? They ask a simple question: who would you vote for? AOL is comparable to the NYT in its readership. McCain was at 63% yesterday and Oduma was at 34 or 35%. This is interesting, it kind of goes along with the Battleground surveys.

I just heard of The One on the news, he says he has been calling for reforms since March. Really, before that everything was hunky dory? Interesting.

the truth is not really a factor here…we are seriously losing the perception wars.

I must agree. 35 days left to the election, and we’re stuck with perception.

Oh, I’m sure when he said “And then, after this immediate problem, we’ve got the long-term fundamentals that will really make sure this economy grows”, I’m assuming he’s talking about himself and his minions, not about us as a country. It’s always about him. He will set down and codify the “long-term fundamentals” that will grow the economy. It’s not about inspiring others to find their strength within that he might believe is there to lift ourselves up. When McCain said “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” he explained he meant the US worker was the best in the world and would adapt. When Obama says it, he means without him, we’d be lost. He will lead us by the hand to where we need to go. We have no chance without him. We’re nothing without him.

Am I stoned?

I fail to see the hypocrisy in O’s statement. Looks like the same crap he’s been saying all along.

The fundamentals of the economy are strong. McCain was WRONG to go back on that statement.

Each and every problem we are experiencing today is the result of government interference and a desire to work around the realities of the market.

I had been 100% sure that McCain was gong to win this. But now I’m starting to see it slip away, the truth is not really a factor here…we are seriously losing the perception wars.

Doom & Gloom.

AHA! Starlink said that “even Kerry wasn’t this brazen” so then it hit me. The democrats are so overboard on their lying statements and never admit to being wrong because they think that’s why Kerry lost…because he didn’t have the brass ones to keep lying and lying and lying.

Seems like they got the MSM in on the game though. They don’t expose the lies but as long as they don’t originate them, they’re ok with that!

I just gotta believe that most Americans are good, decent people and see through this. I mean it’s not that hard to see because the dems are so blatant about it!

He’s just saying McCain is “exactly right” again, just like in the debate. So if McCain is “McSame”, then Obama must be “O-Same-a”, if you buy that BS logic.

All of this is making things hard on me. I stopped drinking a few months ago. But this cr@p is tempting me to hit the bottle hard.

Had he of been referring to the McCain statement, BHO would of had a smeark on his face and the crowd would of been laughing. This Is BHO saying that the fundamentals of the economy are ok. EXACTLY what I say and John McCain said.

I just have to say – after the last several days of seeing polls showing voters suddenly leaning back toward this economically illiterate douchebag – that I pray that observers like Allah and the assorted RINO nitwits who tell us how “smart” and “pragmatic” Obama is are correct, since he seems likely to end up as President.

Because if he is the lying, stupid, radical leftist POS that I think he is, we’re all in very, very deep doo-doo. Because if someone educated and informed like Allah can look at this fucking mess and blame it on the Republicans, then this is over.
