MCCAIN CHOOSING A WOMAN AS VP WILL BACKFIRE BECAUSE HILLARY WILL NOW BE BLAZING THE GUNS TO MAKE OBAMA OUR NEXT PRESIDENT..

THANKS MCCAIN FOR YOUR HELP LOL..

WOW! That speech gave me chills and made me shout. I felt like I was in church sayin preach it preacher …. you better say that! lol.. What an AMAZING moment in history. For all those who doubted him and said he couldn’t do it.. this one’s for you! All that time he was lining up all his ducks for this very moment. And boy did he close the mouths of all the haters! OBAMA 08! YES WE CAN!!!

72

They won’t have to dig far. They could use a spoon cause she’s green as goose poop. I’m already hearing reports that she’sunder investigation in her home state. Even political commentators are baffled at the direction this has taken. McCain could’ve chosen Cindy and she’d been a better choice, lol.

This is a cheap shot to win over HRC voters that are stupid enough to vote Republican and to add moisture to a dry ass campagin. Point blank.

Experience…right out the window!

With his VP choice now annouced, how can McSame call Obama inexperienced?!

I cannot wait until Joe Biden rips her ass apart in the debates….and for the HClinton supporters that were only looking for a woman, this chick is pro-life (if she and the old guy win, you can kiss the Roe vs. Wade decision goodbye).

Obama/Biden ‘08

@37

Some of the things that you said were very interesting…..

Amazing.Historic.Stupendous.Awe-Inspiring.Spine Tingling.Inspirational.Amazing again

Obama/Biden in 08

@37..Nikki Martin… when did they let you outta the crazy house? and not only that have you had your meds today?? do me a favor.. go take your meds & then shut the phuck up! you one crazy @ss bi*ch!

——Congrats to Gov Palin. too bad Mccain is using her as a puppet.

With his VP choice now annouced, how can McSame call Obama inexperienced?!

I cannot wait until Joe Biden rips her ass apart in the debates….and for the HClinton supporters that were only looking for a woman, this chick is pro-life (if she and the old guy win, you can kiss the Roe vs. Wade decision goodbye).

_____________________________________________________________

A bit dramatic don’t ya think?
Pro-life/choice should be the last thing on anyone’s mind! There are too many problems w/ our ecnomy & our foreign policies to be concerned about a woman’s right to chose..

I NEED A CHANGE IM A HARD WORKING MIDDLECLASS WORKING SINGLE MOTHER WHO CANT GET AHEAD DUE TO ALL THIS MADNESS THAT IS GOING ON IN THIS WORL.

PLEASE GOD THANK YOU FOR A LEADER THAT FINALLY SEE’S THE AMERCIAN PEOPLE.

I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE ENJOY AND HAVE SOMETHING TO LEAVE FOR MY OFFSPRING WHEN IM GONE……

STRUGGLING IS NOT THE ANSWER WE ALL NEED A CHANGE EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STORY.

GO OBAMA

Wow, I guess McCain figured since Obama is always talking about change, then picked a VP that has been in government longer than McCain himself, that he (McCain) coud talk about inexperience, then turn around and pick and inexperienced VP. PRICELESS!!!

_____________________________________________________________________

Folks were saying the same thing about Obama…and now…look he’s a ROCKSTAR! LOL..most Republicans felt that McCain was too liberal and now he’s choosen someone that is the epitome of Republican values..and she’s one tough cookie..

This election has become so much more exciting..

And as for Biden tearing Palin a new one…LMAO…I doubt it! The McCain camp has been airing ads w/ Biden’s own words saying he would be honored to run WITH or against John McCain–in addition to saying that he felt that McCain was better to lead than Obama–hell even HRC was saying the same thing! You know it’s bad when your own VP doesn’t even have faith in you! Biden is famous for talking out of his @ss and saying the most outrageous things..puhhhlleezze the Republicans are gonna have a field day w/ Obama…like I said, he’s really gonna have to get down in the trenches and fight dirty if he wants to win!

@37; you’re an UGLY person; you sound like the ignorant white people who say stupid and mean things about Obama on other sites and forums. Keep you useless opinions to yourself, thank you. Whether or not Obama wins or loses in November–history has been made; a Black person getting a nomination from a major political party–are you kidding me? Personally, I had tears in my eyes after Michelle’s speech and she brought her and Obama’s daughters out on stage with her. That was an awesome sight that I will not forget. Good luck, Obama ‘08.

aww, all of those pictures are PRICELESS!
first time i’ve EVER sat down and listened to a whole speech

0bama08!

# 89

Are you so blind and completley in denial.. MCCAIN WILL NOT WIN THIS ELECTION.. I dont care if he elected the top playboy bunny of 2008…

This is not rubbing well with most republicans and Hiliary supporters feel like McCain is taking them for a fool…

McCain will more than likely not even finish his presidency if he is elected and then what are we left with? A woman who likes to have babies and shoot wolves on mountain tops?? Get real..

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

So let’s see we have a man of African desent running for President, a white woman running for VP, and a black woman running as an Independent.

The world is a beautiful place!!!!!!!!!!

in my lifetime,a black man will actually rule this country…….unbelieveable,pls everyone who is eligible go out there and vote.
ps;niki martin whoever u are,pls go somewhere,quietly crawl under a rock…..and die.

***opps I meant descent

@ 52
while i am happy that u do actually read, obama is far from a marxist, he is just a little left on social issues. ok maybe not a little…lol…..but hey i am my brothers keeper.

***oops I meant oops:)

@37. Stop with selling fear. You can’t stop this man from taking his rightful place in history as the first black president of the United States of America. Old played out fear tactics will not work. In the words of Obama: ENOUGH!!!!!!!!! go back in to your dark hole and stay there for the next 8 years because Barack will be the next Pres. whether you like it or not.

PEOPLE!! Winning the democratic nomination is not enough. Don’t start celebrating and losing focus. Now is the time to keep it moving. Yes be proud and excited, but when you read words like those of #37, we all know we have the battle of our lives ahead of us to get Barack elected!! So, get the word out, join the campaign, keep Barack’s message out there for all to see. Mobilize!!! YES WE CAN! So let’s make history! Go Barack!

Ok so i was having a conversation with a family member and she told me that a girl she picked up from work said she wasnt gonna vote because she didnt wanna do jury duty!! wth i mean i have heard many reasons why people dont vote,but that right there is the most ignorant thing i have ever heard in my life i think…..i really cant think back to anything that is worse

anyway i wasnt 100 percent on board with obama,he just left me skeptical…..i wasnt sure about this man….but after this speech,seeing the hope in all those americans eyes man i have to say…I AM ON BOARD.

obama 08!!

Hardly. These are the same folks that voted Bush for 2 terms. You act as if there’s NO way for Obama to lose, which is hilarious, so can I direct to you the question “Are you in denial?” LOL…Obama was 5% behind in polls (which really means 15%) do you still feel that him making it to the White House is inevitable?

@Nikki Martin…

Take your meds, please!

@ 99
thats funny…lol..lmao….she dont want to do jury duty? wow…im surprise she knows what jury duty is

@ 91
i wouldnt tell nobody that! lol

I dont believe in the hype this man better live up to what he is saying! I am not a voter so I dont care! If god not running to be president I am not voting at all!

@Get Over it

Aiight!!! I co-sign that 99%, you just betta capitalize that “g”. The best part of the speech is when he mentioned how he planned on paying for all those reforms and plans he claimed to want to implement. He said that he was going to go through the government’s budget “line by line”, lol. Now when he goes through that, and someone literate alerts him to the fact that America is trillions of dollars in debt, I wonder what the next recourse of action will be?

He was awesome. So amazing to see during my lifetime. We are apart of history.

Have to give credit to the Republicans (however much I hate their policies, they are rather good at winning elections; even in a year when the Democrats should own the election).
McCain just won in November! Obama is barely even in the polls, and now, after a lackluster convention marked by his failure to pick Hillary Clinton as his VP, which, however risky to his little world, would have at least energized Democrats. Instead we have a tird old warhorse like Biden (with an embellished, and even so, uninteresting bio).
Obama ran a fantastic campaign against HRC, but he’s been untterly uninspiring since.
For those of you who make the banal point that women won’t switch to McCain because this is so obviously a pandering choice, are African Americans voting for Obama because he’s black? Politicans who pander, successfully, win elections!

* SIGH* - 100

Wow where to start… McCain is not ahead in the polls… Obama is ahead in the polls.. yeah not by much.. maybe by like 1 or 2 % but trust me… after this announcement today McCain has just sealed Obamas ticket to the whitehouse..

Do you honestly think that this was a bold move for McCain?? McCain must have been sippin on his wifes alchohol when he made this decision.. it was not the right move.. its SNAKE EYES for McCain.

I honestly did think McCain did have a chance..just like you… but if he were to die and leave this woman as president would people feel comfortable with that? No way.. no how… That is whats going to change people’s decision on who to vote for.. and its already starting to change ABRUPTLY as we speak.. its almost surreal.. its as if McCain wanted to lose this election lol… well thank you thank you thank you McCain for handing the ticket over…

And you just keep going and going lol.. no convincing you.. hey your ignorance must be bliss SIGH

white folks dont want to hear it white folks are saying “we’re sitting above everyone else” which mean they chit on us.

media is talking about mccains vp pick lol

Ana -

Okay, let’s take your scenario, let’s say that McCain does die before the end of his term. Okay, so essentially we’d be comparing her resume w/ Obama’s, correct? Now you say that Palin is inexperienced. Really?! Aren’t you an Obama supporter? Aren’t you an agent of change? Aren’t you someone that supports “new politics, w/ fresh ideas”? Do you not believe that Sarah Palin, represents this?

Sure she may not represent the “change” that you agree w/ but she’d definitely bring some “change” and “fresh ideas” to the politics in D.C.

Everything that you’ve said about her are the same things that Democrats have said about Obama, so now I ask, “Why aren’t you ready for change?” LOL

@37 NIKKI MARTIN:. *GOD WATCHING US*… You better get out of here with that o’l slave mentality. The ideals you speak are the same of the people who told Harriet Tubman to go on head with her silly underground railroad idea. And that Sojourner Truth that a woman needs to stay in their place. And that Dr. MLK is just an silly old preacher boy a DREAMER. If everyone had that fearful mentality that you speak of then imagine. Just imagine where we would be.

I do understand your fear, but it is fear that has lead this country into the deficit that we are in. Bush has played on our fears. And John Mccain is doing the same thing. All we can do as humans is live off of hope.

Jesus himself was cast out by the Sadducees making him an outcast and stating that he could not be God because he was imperfect. The same with Barack, yes he has made mistakes and experimented with drugs, but so did Clinton. But he did alright didn’t he?

Barack knew the risk that the accepting the presidency entails. But that is why he has V.P. Biden who supports his views if anything should happen to him. Like J.F.K. picked Lydon b. Johnson and he followed up with J.F.K’s policies, passing the civil rights legislation.

And as far as his wife being ugly. That has nothing to do with his policies. I would rather him have a ugly wife than be all pro-black with a white wife. Some people are just never satisfied.

And to Mccain’s V.P. pick. I am happy for her but I am also insulted that Mccain thinks that just because I am a woman I will vote for this woman with no experience ever in the senate. When his behind is one heartbeat away from death. She has only been the governor for two years has no foreign policy experience and is voting against the right to privacy Roe v. Wade. It is not just a case about Abortion it is about our fundamental right to privacy. And this woman is being investigated on her ETHICS!!! Do you really want that type of woman as your back up president. I don’t.

This is just my opinion….

@.:Nikki Martin:. *God watching us*

Why would you state that Barack wont live through the next year? Very much a short bus statement. You should be banned from posting…..banned from the internet.

Great speech ! ! It doesn’t take a Harvard graduate to figure out McCain’s reason for VP running mate.
Obama & Biden is the best choice .

89

Biden may be a snake, but most politicians are when the C.E.O. position is at stake! We’d be saying the same thing if Obama chose Clinton as his VP, so that argument his thrown out the window.

Palin may balance McCains ticket but the choice absolutely screams desperation on his part. People are throwing approval numbers of 80 % in the air like they really mean something but in her case, they don’t. She’s from Alaska, a frozen tundra of 700,000 where 70% are white and the largest minority are Native American/Alaskan. I would assume she would have high approval numbers, lol.

Her trump card will be on the energy crisis, where she was working on freeing up reserves to lower the oil prices but that’s the only real legitimate thing I see her bringing to the table for McCain, especially with a hurricane threatening to shut down the gulf in the next few days. She’s already proven that she thinks like older politicians by using her position to have her ex-brother-in-law fired from his job for divorcing her sister (does that sound like change and progress to you?) Oh well…no need in going on with this mess…

kmniles -

The difference is, that Hillary had like what 18 million supporters and Biden had like what–500,000? LOL, Biden brings absolutely nothing to Obama’s ticket, he’s not only a snake–he’s a useless one at that.

Selecting Palin may scream desperation, but its also that desperation that will get him elected. Say what you want but picking her was an excellent and unexpected thing to do!

Women will come out in droves to help Gov Palin in office. Just like black folks did for Obama.

And to Mccain’s V.P. pick. I am happy for her but I am also insulted that Mccain thinks that just because I am a woman I will vote for this woman with no experience ever in the senate.

__________________________________________________________________

I know the feeling. I was also insulted, when black folks felt that I should have voted for Obama–because he was black–something about unity.

I can also agree w/ the no experience part too! Whew–most black folks just didn’t understand when I was telling them about Obama’s lack of experience–but for some reason they saw it was a positive…hmm

man..that was moving..the hairs on my arm literally stood up…i was moved.. I was PROUD..his speech , my God, his speech was just…wow..i am speechless…
Obama 08..

I wish haters didnt exist………(republicans- you guys were in office for 8 years….IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE…)

wow @ # 37….You need Jesus….

All the Obama support is great & everything, & it would definitely be great to have a change. But i love how everyone is talking like WE actually have a say in who becomes president. Even if everyone votes 4 Obama(popular vote), that doesn’t mean he’ll be the next president, so wats this crap about “vote or die” “every vote counts” , no it doesn’t, atleast not ours, lol.

i stayed up till 3am because that was the time it aired here in the UK.
but as someone who has been closely following the campaign trail (i am not american by the way) i thought that Barack’s speech was the best he has ever delivered! He came out and he humanised himself, he spoke of every single issue that needed to be addressed and he made his status known based on the issue of commander in chief! most importantly, he did not just speak of ‘change’ but he went into the specifics! that is what i wanted to hear - the details! and he did not leave any room for criticism from the republicans! Obama 08!

LMFAO@ #37 IGNORANCE IS BLISS AND YOUR DUMB ASS NEED MORE THAN CHANGE STOP LISTENING TO THOSE VOICES THAT IS TALKING TO YOU BECAUSE SOME WILL COME PREACHING THE WORD OF THE LORD AND ARE DEVIL WORSHIPERS I’M NOT GONNA BASH YOU BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU SEEK HELP SO I’M GONNA PRAY FOR YOU. JUST THE THOUGHT THAT A BLACK MAN IS MAKING HISTORY IN AMERICA MAKE ME PROUD TO BE ONE AGAIN! MANY BEFORE HIM HAS FOUGHT AND DIED FOR THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY AND IT JUST MAKES ME PROUD TO SEE THAT THERE BLOOD SHED AND INCARCERATIONS WAS NOT IN VAIN. INSTEAD OF CRITIZING AND BASHING THE MAN WE SHOULD SUPPORT HIM BECAUSE MY PERSONAL OPINION IT IS GONNA TAKE MORE THAN FOUR YEARS TO FIX BUSH MESS BUT AT LEAST THERE WILL BE A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. WE (BLACK PEOPLE) NEED TO BE LIKE THE OTHER RACES (JEWISH-WHITES, HISPANICS) BECAUSE IF ITS ONE THING THEY ASSES STICK TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT UNLIKE MY FOLKES WHO ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING TO SAY BUT WHEN ITS TIME FOR ACTION AIN’T ABOUT NOTHING!

@ sigh

i really dont get how u would equate Gov Palin to Obama. have she ever been out of that country? out of alaska? all he is using her for is eye candy, and oil. she supports drilling of course. have she ever debated nuclear proliferation with russia? did she know that georgia faced threats since april?does she have any legislative experience (governors dont legislative, they have no power)……have she ever governed more that 2 people?what alaska’s population again? me personally, i thought maybe he would choose the e-bay ceo, but im personally offended that he went with palin over rice. oh i forgot condi was bush’s sec of state (wooo did he just dodge a bullet). rice has about 1 million years in experience and she graduate comlaudi (or however the hell) at sixteen.oh and shes a woman. she shopuld have been top choice if he were looking to sway women voters.

@THEWORLDWILLENDIN2012.. if it isn’t WE the people who vote to determine who becomes our next president then who the hell is it that decides?? do they just draw a name out of a hat? please explain that to me. i really need to know because maybe i’m missing something here.

@ 124, WE select an electoral college, which then gets to select the president, WE still vote, but our vote is the popular vote, its the electoral college’s vote that REALLY matters, & thats how despite Gore getting the popular vote, Bush still won, comprendo?

@ 124 The electoral college…but it is still important to come out and vote, if he wins each state, he is more likely to win not only in the popular vote…this really matters when an election is very close, like the one we saw in 2000.

I am in love with this man and i know it is irrational but it is as if every time i see him, i just feel somehow. I know i sound incredibly stupid but there is just something about him that is immensely attractive, and not just to me i am sure. I love his voice (figuratively and literaly), his ideas and his sanguinity…in addition to how educated he is. Even more, I love how much he adores his wife and children; you see it with every look. And his family is just absolutely beautiful. His daughters are so precious and pretty, and his wife is the epitome of a strong, intellectual and beautiful black woman. I and I surmise other girls like me can only dream of a future family like this, and a husband like Barack Obama…. Barack the vote!

@ #37—- daaaaaaaaang homegirl!!! Hella on edge. Can’t argue with God talking to you (real talk) however … I’m hoping he whispers some words of Love into your heart bc that whole hateful rant about his lips and wife were completely unecessary and have nothing to do with the issues at hand.
…….BTW he is a P.I.L.F in MY book!

@post- I had chills…..it’s a special moment when you KNOW you are witnessing history…regardless of the outcome…we have been a part of something our great great grandkids will be reading about in the history books.

Thanks for the post J Dakar but why didnt you post about Mccain and his VP pick? Im not supporting the guy or anything but you should be a little more bias and give people the other side of this election so people wont make comment mindless comments like ” Fuck Mccain old ass” lol. Obama gets my vote but you should still question everything instead of just falling for propaganda.

I find it funny that when a person says that GOD talks to them, everybody else thinks he/she is crazy. On the flipside, those that ridicule that very individual have the nerve to turn around and say that they “need Jesus” or “imma pray for you”.
Just wanted to throw that out there…

*Blows a kiss at Judah, goes back into lurk mode*

U ppl are sheep.

That speech last night was one of hope and a sign that we as a society have progressed tremendously. I am so proud of Barack and Hillary for making history! Obama 08… Yes We Can and Will

“The difference is, that Hillary had like what 18 million supporters and Biden had like what–500,000? LOL, Biden brings absolutely nothing to Obama’s ticket, he’s not only a snake–he’s a useless one at that.”

LOL. I mentioned that before, and I agree 150% No argument from me on that point.

@ 74 damn who pissed in your cheerios

MYRA IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE BLOG THAN YOU WOULD HAVE ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION.
THANKS A LOT..
BTW IF YOU READ MY OTHER COMMENT YOU WOULD ALSO KNOW THAT I QUICKLY GOT OVER THE ISSUE..

the white racists have already strted calling Michelle Obamo a monkey. They put a pic of her and the monkey. Unfortunately her pic look just like the ape pic.

How much sex is he getting from his wife right about now? You know it’s on and poppin in the bedroom! Power is incredibly sexy. Ladies, you agree?

I totally agree with you networking. Power is and always has been sexy.

@37, I don’t think that’s God taking to ya dear….check urself.
I think Obama is a solid candidate.
The only thing that worries me, is that this country is just not ready for a black president, and that some racist backwards idiot will try to do something to him.
I hope not, I really do. But I’ll tell ya this, even at where I work, most of the white people have said out loud that things should stay the same.
Ever since this election process has started, I have heard the most ignorant things come out of people’s mouths….

This was a brillant post and a riveting speech!
Great job CL…way to keep it positive!!

[...] day after his historic speech in Denver, Presidential hopeful Barack Obama and his running mate Senator Joe Biden hit the [...]

re:37

You mentioned that Obama did drugs - what of Cindy McCain? She stole drugs from her own charity - everyone has faults and imperfections.

Michelle O is not ugly!

Woww the time for change is now!
The revolution will be televised!
Obama is breathtaking..he is definitely one of the best speakers of all time. I wish I were American just so I could vote this year; Canadian politics have nothing on this. I watch Obama and listen to his speeches, and I can tell that every word spoken is genuwine; i can tell that he is a man that values his word and that will bring about change. It has nothing to do with the fascination the world is fixated on- that a black man will be the next American president, but that a GREAT man will be the next American president. A lot is riding on Obama, but I know he will deliver.

Amazing speech, cant wait to see more of these.
His family and the image of a strong united black family are all too inspirational.

OBAMA, ‘08

@130 I WILL PRAY FOR YOU TOO! I DID NOT RIDICULE #37 JUST THOUGHT THAT HE SHOULD APPRECIATE THE HISTORY THAT HE WAS LIVING THROUGH IT REALLY IS NOT THAT SERIOUS! LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE SO MISERABLE

OUR PRESIDENT FINE! THATS ALL I HAD TO SAY!
