POLITICS: FACE OFF / OBAMA ON FINANCIAL CRISIS / MCCAIN PLAYS RACE CARD?
Monday, September 22, 2008

Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain are gearing up for their first debate on Friday, September 26, at the University of Mississippi. Both campaigns have agreed to an unusual free-flowing format, but the McCain camp fought for and won a much more structured approach for the questioning at the vice presidential debate.
The Oct. 2 debate between Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Joe Biden, moderated by Gwen Ifill, will have shorter question-and-answer segments than those for the presidential nominees. McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive.
Friday’s debate will be broken into nine, 9-minute segments. Jim Lehrer will introduce a topic and allow each candidate two minutes to comment. After these initial answers, the moderator will facilitate an open discussion of the topic for the remaining five minutes, ensuring that both candidates receive an equal amount of time to comment.
The debate begins at 9pm ET, and will broadcast on major networks ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, in addition to cable news channels such as C-SPAN, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.
OBAMA ON FINANCIAL CRISIS
At a rally in Charlotte on Sunday, Sen. Barack Obama addressed how the government should respond to the financial crisis and criticized the Bush Administration’s lack of a plan to combat the problem.
He said, “As of now, the Bush Administration has only offered a concept with a staggering price tag, not a plan. Even if the U.S. Treasury recovers some or most of its investment over time, this initial outlay of up to $700 billion is sobering. And in return for their support, the American people must be assured that the deal reflects the basic principles of transparency, fairness, and reform.”
Obama added the following points on how government should address the problem:
First, there must be no blank check when American taxpayers are on the hook for this much money.
Second, taxpayers shouldn’t be spending a dime to reward CEOs on Wall Street.
Third, taxpayers should be protected and should be able to recoup this investment.
Fourth, this plan has to help homeowners stay in their homes.
Fifth, this is a global crisis, and the United States must insist that other nations join us in helping secure the financial markets.
Sixth, we need to start putting in place the rules of the road I’ve been calling for for years to prevent this from ever happening again.
And finally, this plan can’t just be a plan for Wall Street, it has to be a plan for Main Street.
MCCAIN PLAYS RACE CARD?
“This is hardly subtle: Sinister images of two black men, followed by one of a vulnerable-looking elderly white woman,” writes Karen Tumulty.
The Obama campaign says former Fannie Mae Chairman Frank Raines is not an Obama adviser and that McCain’s campaign knows it because Raines sent an email to Carly Fiorina, a top McCain adviser: “Carly: Is this true?” Raines asks above a forwarded note informing him that Fiorina was on television saying he was an Obama housing adviser. “I am not an adviser to the Obama campaign. Frank.”

I am just really appalled to see the depths to which the McCain campaign will and has gone to win this election. They have NOTHING to run on, so they resort to just making ish up and putting it in the media. They know that there are a lot of uninformed voters out there who will see his ad and actually believe it. A lot of people do not go and seek the truth which is sad but true.
We NEED to get out the VOTE! They ( by they i mean McCain’s campaign, the media, etc.) do not believe the young vote or the African American vote is going to make a difference. Just by the simple fact that they continually use these “tight” poles as justifying the closeness of the race. Yet, they never mention the fact that these poles are done by calling LANDLINE phones, something that MANY persons between the ages of 18 to 30 ( and some above that) do NOT own. This is the age of the cellphone. Why do you think the Obama campaign uses text message as a way to reach voters? They understand the age we live in and how people now live their lives. Personally, I do not think the race is as close as they make it out to be, but when the closeness keeps ratings high for tv, then why change it?
SIDENOTE: I am VERY upset that honest, taxpaying individuals who do not gamble their money and buy homes and things outside their means are NOW going to have to foot the bill for this financial crisis. Asking the American people to help corporations, that have never helped us, by giving them 700 billion dollars is upsetting. If we HAVE to foot the bill I propose:
1) CEOs of companies get paid after the company starts turning a profit again ( meaning no tax payer money will pay their salary. Only the money they make will). They can live off the money I’M SURE they kept for themselves in case of a financial crisis such as this one)
2) Any company receiving federal help should not be able to outsource jobs overseas. If the American taxpayers have to help them, then they DAMN sure better give Americans jobs.
3) Once the companies turn a profit, they must be required to pay the government back in installments. Just like when we owe the government (IRS) money , we HAVE to pay them back or we get fined or go to jail!
These are just a some of my ideas i have right now………..

Bush is going to make sure he leaves this country in a huge mess before he exists office.

I just pray and hope that people get out here and vote November 4th. What saddens me most is people don’t understand how important this election is. Our country is in one of the biggest defecits ever and unless you have some silver in your mouth, you can feel it. this economy is shot to hell and has been for the past 8 years. Somethings got to give people! It will only get worse if McCain/Palin win. They are oil tycoons just like Bush. They don’t care about the everyday working family. McCain wouldn’t even admit that we are in a recession right now. On 60 mins last night he said “he doesn’t know” when asked that question. Is this really who you want as our President…again??? Its time to fix this, NOW!!!!!!

The McCain campaign is like a wonded animal, desperate and dangerous. They will try anything to win the election. But Obama cannot leave it to the American people’s conscience, because frankly, the American people are dumb. No way, in these times, where the economy is at its most perilous should the race be this close. But it is, which means that there are Uncle Toms and white people who are willing to suffer another 4 years of a flailing enonomy under the regime of the republicans, than vote for a black man.

I am totally agreeing with you #4 Qdoba.
McCain is stooping too low with the “Racial” adds. And if they felt like Palin would be “a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive,” then why did El Stupido choose her as his running mate? If he is elected President, the world would continue to remain in the dire state it is in. And if he is selected and kicks the bucket, (ya’ll know he is too old) what can a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive do for this country?
Get your own house in order and worry about why your teenage daughter is out there drinking and running the streets getting pregnant before you try to run a WHOLE nation!

Just simply looking at the way the economy is right now, and knowing that McCain basically is another Bush, why would anyone in their right minds want to vote for McCaine? Forclosures are everywhere, food prices are sky high, schools are falling apart and aare overcrowded, people who have degrees cant find jobs, gas prices are thru the roof and folks got to catch the bus cuz they dont have enough money to fill their tanks but have just enough for the bus. Not to mention unaffordable healthcare–It’s just ridiculous.
And John McCaine has not said one thing about how he plans to change America’s economic status. Then brings in Sarah Palin who can’t even answer a question straight. This country will be in ruins if those two are elected. Whoever doesn’t want to vote for Obama just because he’s a Black man needs to get off their own crap and realize that this well educated, dignified black man is going to change this country for the better and get it where it needs to be. How can u not want to vote for Obama? He isn’t just a black man running for president…he is a MAN who is for change for this country & change for the better–much needed change. McCaine is just running for the title President–nothing more.

i see now mccains getting scared. if both he and palin feel that shes not experienced enough for debate he shouldnt have picked her for vp. if she cant handle the questions and pressure and defensiveness and offensiveness of a debate how is she gonna ever be able to handle becoming vp and probably president. cause lets face mccain only has a couple more years to live through another heart attack or cancer. finally hes getting a clue that shes not ready for this. i think she needs to grow up and realize that she with the big dogs now. not in a small town in alaska where everybody knows everybody and wont attack her solely on the fact that they dont wanna hurtr her feelings. the big dogs like biden obama and other senators dont really give a damn about YOUR feelings. if dont want them to attack you in debate…beat them at there own game and attack them first. stop being soooo sensitive. llets face it this is pretty much a mans game and if you want to win honey you gotta play it like they play it. OPEN YOUR EYES!

john mc cain is not bush and vice versa, the econonmy is not doing good because motherfuckers dont want to live within their means aka i`m earnig $45k/yr but for some reason i take a mortgage for a $200 k house, how is that bush`s fault? people need to stop having those damn kids if you cant raise them and fed them, the government doesnt have to do a damn thing because when you`re spreading your legs the government is not there with you, life is about choices, you take certain decisions and you should be ready to pay for it

Yeah I find it STAGGERING and OUTRAGEOUS that taxpayers are being asked to BAIL out the top one percent of this nation. Does anyone else think this is crazy. I am so floored that no one is mobilizing to say why the hell should we help these fools out. AND for families losing homes, I do NOT feel bad for you either. You bought homes you couldnt afford, why the hell is that my fault. So now being on the larger side of the tax bracket as a middle class individual you want me to bail your ass out too, what the hell. I am renting because I have law school loans, that was my choice, so I have to wait to afford a small home. I do not see why I should help you stay in the one you chose to buy with no money down, idiots! I am so ANNOYED.

I do not think the “RACE CARD” phrase is appropriate or PETE’s comment. There is no race card. That phrase is racist and dismissive. White people created thephrase to dismiss racism and I HATE when anyone uses it. Just because your redneck ass (PETE) doesn’t want to admit to racism exist (maybe not in this case with this ad, its more of dirty politics) doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
White people and hankerchief wearing negros floor me.
I want everyone to get off of their half truth ads and FOCUS ON THE FREAKING ISSUES

Pete (#21), I understand what you mean BUT you have to put some fault on the govt. The economy isn’t just about how ppl are living but about the financial status of the US as a country. If Bush didn’t cast fear in millions are ppls’ hearts w/ the unfortunate event of 9/11… many BILLIONS of dollars would still be in this country. Businesses would still be open to provide ppl w/ jobs and be able to afford their lifestyles (pseudo or real). We as a country are so broke, we can’t even bail our on working class out! Dude, that’s not just OUR fault. I am the first person to say if many ppl weren’t keeping up w/ the Jones and took personal responsibility, they could at least survive this rough patch BUT since our own govt. wasted their money AKA OUR TAXES… it might not be just a patch to survive. So if you’re gonna point fingers, point them at EVERYONE involved.

@21,
Yes he is another Bush in my eyes. Why is it that automatically when someone house forcloses, they got to be living out of their means or spreading open their legs and dropping out babies? Do you have any other reasons the economy is as horrid as it is than that Pete? Not everyone whose home foreclosed lived out of their means–explain the factories and companies that shut down due to the economy forcing people who worked their 25+ years to loose their jobs and homes becaus e they cant find a new job? Explain how gaping open your legs caused the country billions a month on the war while their is a war right here in America. Explain how spreading your legs gots something to do with that? Explain how spreading your legs has anything to do with the cost of food going up? Explain how a woman marries a man & has his children and then the guy leaves them high & dry and that women is now a single mom? Do you just assume she gapped her legs open and had all these babies and do u assume shes a welfare mom? And now this single mom has got to take on 2 & 3 jobs–educated with degrees or not to keep her head above water? Explain that to me? Explain how gapping open your legs has anything to do with those things i just named? Dont come at me with that bullshit Pete because yes their are people out there foolishly trying to floss, and also having and making a bunch of babies, and yes, poor choices with sex does lead to unwanted pregnancies and diseases, but its no the reason for the majority of the economy being the way it is. So u can just get somewhere is sit down with your comment. Oh and by the way, have a blessed day to u & yours.

I don’t understand why Obama’s camp keeps giving in to this idiotic bigot’s demands. If Palin can’t handle the questions then she should not be in the race. McCain calls Obama inexperienced so why isn’t he asking for a more structured debate!? And why isn’t the Obama camp blasting this in ads about the Fannie Mae ad because false? If McCain wants to play the race card and tell lies I think it’s only fair that we point them out if we’re not going to be doing the same. If we lose it’ll because of things like this.

i think that most of you have a very apocalyptic view of the country but then again i`m not surprised i`m dealing with my fellow black brothers and sisters, blacks are historically pessimistic folks…this is one of the reasons why blacks dont thrive in general
America has been through worst periods than this and survived, this country survived the great depression, this country survived civil wars,secession wars and more, this country even cold war with the threat of a full blown nuclear war, stop counting on the government, the war in iraq is not the republicans fault because last time i checked the majority of democrats voted for this war;john kerry,hillary clinton,john edwards,joseph biden( running for office) just to name a few, so it can makes me wonder that today when the war has gone sour, its the republicans fault….give me a fucking break!
to those of you saying you will leave the country if obama looses then guess what? thats perfect, the more people leave, the more gas we have and the cheaper…heck i cant wait for some of you to leave if “the messiah “ looses

You know, like in Iraq, only a handful of people, who aren’t even Iraqis, are terrorists but their impact on the country causes the world to associate the whole country with terrorism. Usually few demons at work can have such a huge and catostrophic impact on the many good, that they can redirect a positive change and follow them to self destruction. My people I use that anology to compare what can happen in this election if we let the few Uncle Toms and racist white people, throw mad monkey in our plans for black empowerment. You know who they are…I have read the comments and I have had some heated exchanges with a few Uncle Toms right here on this blog. The fact of the matter of is, we can sit here and debate until we a blue in the face, they will not change their views.
Harriett Tobman came and got me from the whiteman’s property along time ago, so I know what is at stake. Some of these Uncle Toms feel like they cannot live without the whiteman so they’ll do anything to ensure they remain under his foot. We will let our voices be heard on November 4th.

I remember looking at a Time Magazine my grandfather had among his many newspaper clippings. The magazine was from 1949. It was covering the Chinese Revolution during that period and in it was a photograph of a young girl, she could not have been more that 16 or 17 at the time. She was standing in the middle of the street with a rifle pointed at this man’s head. He was on both knees, mouth agape, crying, with is hands up begging for his life. Turned out that man was the girl’s father and he was part of a group who was resistant to change…wanted to keep the status quo…you know the type. We know them today as Uncle Toms….
Today there are no Uncle Toms in China and China is the world’s most powerful country.

It’s seriously time for us as a people to stand up and be counted. Obama needs all the help we can give him and all the prayers we can offer. McCain is a mud slinging, tyrannic Bush sympathizer. Do we really want another four years of Republican style politics? I THINK NOT! VOTE NOVEMBER 4. If you ae underaged make sure your parents do.

CONCERNED???? THIS SIMPLE-MINDED CHICK COULD BE OUR PRESIDENT IF THE OL’ MAN DROPS DEAD(HIS ASS IS OLD)…SH*T I’M MOVING TO CANADA..MAYBE I CAN SEE RUSSIA!!
The Oct. 2 debate between Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Joe Biden, moderated by Gwen Ifill, will have shorter question-and-answer segments than those for the presidential nominees. McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive.

Just as I thought…too ignorant to understand it.
As black people we can look to other country that had similar problems like the ones we face today in America and implement the same tactics how they used to solve it. Like the Chinese I could have use The Mau Mau Uprising, which was an insurgency by Kenyan rebels against the British rule that lasted from 1952 to 1960. Like the Chinese, before they could launch their attack, the Uncle Tom infiltration had to be righted.
Harriett Tubman was lesbian? Now I have heard everything. If I were a betting man I would bet you were a follower of Yahweh Ben Yahweh.

Both Candidates Are Ridiculous
Monday, September 22, 2008 /
Neither McCain nor Obama provided a clear alternate plan for the financial crisis that we are in. Both point and blame, Obama to Bush, and McCain to Obama, and it doesn’t appear that any significant “change” will be the outcome of this election, other than a change of political party.
This “hope” that is spoken of is very abstract, and the fact that everyone is mesmerized by this man and most of the people I’ve spoken to don’t even know his values or beliefs, but can quote “change” 24/7 scares me.
On the other side, if McCain wins, this will be a very hostile country.

———@Dukesman
———Finally, you respond like a man, so I’ll retort your attempt at a point. You don’t
———get it. Don’t you see that I asked you, “Don’t Chinese live in China?”. Do you
———understand the point that I was getting at? You’ve convinced yourself that you
———are a “revolutionary”, but revolutionaries don’t vote, lol. I’d have more respect
———for your stance if you were 1) Consistent 2) Understood what you claim to
———espouse. Furthermore, the comparisons to Communist China and the Mau
———Maus in Kenya is totally irrelevant because, again, they were not voting, they
———were fighting. Do you grasp the difference? Furthermore they live in racially
———homogenous lands. This is why I asked about the Chinese living in China.
———America has all races in it and blacks are at the VERY BOTTOM. This is not
———the case of an indigenous race of people throwing off the shackles of their
———oppressor. This is a CAPTIVE race of people that don’t even know who the
———hell they are, and your simple ass is comparing our plight to these fabricated
———CIA-funded “revolutions”. I can go deeper but I honestly believe that it would
———be a waste of time on my part.
———Lastly brother, and I’ve asked you this before, when you use terms, at least
———use them in the proper context. If you don’t have the literacy capabilities to do
———so, don’t use them. It exposes your stupidity. Harriet Tubman was a lesbian,
———but as I’ve said before, you seem to be one of these pseudo/quasi-militants
———that reads half-books and thinks that they’re “down for the cause”. Not only
———that but she served her true master, the white man, loyally and has been
———rewarded in posterity by being commemorated in the white man’s false texts.
———The same can be said for deceitful negroes like Frederick Douglas, W.E.B.
———Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King etc. All watchdogs.
———In regards to “Yahweh Ben Yahweh”, I’ve heard of him but no, the only entity
———that I follow is Christ. I normally ignore your nonsense because I find it far too
———effeminate and emotional, especially as an alleged “man”, but I had time to
———play with your simple behind today, lol. Be a man, outline the goal, weigh the
———probability of it coming to fruition, and then holler at me.

Judah is simply a black nationalist…pure and simple. Somehow, Black people are God’s chosen people but they don’t listen (according to him, they are to stupid to do so). The jews got it all wrong, according to him!
The Black man is rather blinded by Satan’s spawn, the white man! As a matter of fact, African American women are worse off than the Black men. They are the white man’s tool (his words from the numerous political post on concreteloop that he frequently profuses his teachings)! Black women should reduce the power that they have now to serve the black man!
When Judah discusses with you, he doesn’t state any of his position clearly and succintly (yet, he blames Obama for this same habit). He rather divulge in long tangents that mock your intelligent before stating his positions. But his positions are always obscured…you wanna knwo why? By doing so, he refrains from stating his position; One is a weaker being if he states his position. Stating your position effiminates you (one of his favorite words) .
He says a lot of something that don’t mean anything and since black people are enchanted by anything, he plays on that to sway the weakest of us all!
Beware!

DO you have Jesus?
Monday, September 22, 2008 /
HAHAHAHA!! You people are very hilarious. You guys must have been drugged by something. Am I the only one who can read straight through Obama? He’s very inexperienced I don’t care what anyone says, and he is FAKE. He calls himself a Christian, yet true Christians for one don’t go to churches like the one he went to, for two he believes in gay marraige and abortion, and the list goes on. Not to be full of conceit but I make good money, and I can’t possibly afford Obama to tax me more because I make more than the next person. It’s unbelievable. And if you guys had some what of an education in these kinds of things, you would clearly know that President Bush wasn’t the complete person who caused all what’s going on.
BTW: There is NOW WAY on Earth Obama is going to win. So don’t set your hopes high because trust me, they will be drastically loward.In my debate classes we talk about this all the time and NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OBAMA WILL NOT WIN!! Trust me, please.
–God Bless.

Judah,
You are busted as being *Sigh*. You are busted for bad logic. You are busted for having sexual issues: who cares whether the abolitionist Harriet Tubman was a lesbian or that you think someone else’s logic is “effeminate?” I’ll tell you who. A person who has confused sexuality and isn’t sure he can cut it as a man.
Plus, your grammar sucks, you do not know your Bible, and your endless pessimism is tiring. As your alter ego says, *sigh.”.

Don’t worry brother/sister. Judah is clearly not on my level. He is obviously a confused person, who doesn’t think for himself but instead regurgitates what other people in his narrow minded, self hating circle, tell him. I can bet your last quarter I will continue to debate this Uncle Tom. You can count on me to cut the grass and expose this serpent.

———I hate when idiots try to summarize my thought process, lol. The number one
———problem on these blogs are the people of the other races that pose as black,
———(whether you’re one of those people or not is irrelevant to me, you just emit that
———vibe). My opinions are never “obscured”, they are “obscured” to people that
———have low to no perceptual capabilities whatsoever. If someone asks me my
———opinion, I give it to them. If they ask me WHY I think something, instead of just
———attacking me like many clownish people on this site do, they would get an
———answer. Then there are the many allegedly “deucated” “pseudo-intellectuals”
———that come onto this site and are frustrated that they cannot gainsay my
———comments without getting outpointed. At the end of the day, the truth hurts, it
———divides, it conquers all, and it breeds enemies (John 8:40, Gal 4:16).
———@Honolulu City Lights
———You’re busted as being an idiot of historic proportions. Were you born that way
———or did it take years for you to get that stupid? You must be one of the Obama
———idolators that’s new to this site, lol. I’m me 100% of the day, 100% of the time
———and I will not give my glory unto another. Logic is not “effeminate”. Lack of
———logic is effeminate. Over-emotionality in a man is effeminate. You strike me as
———one of these black women that studies psychology and astrology to try to
———predict predilections in men because she has no idea what to think about

———examples. We both know that you won’t because you’ll get your fragile
———sensibilities cut.
———@Dukesman
———Sis, we haven’t had ONE debate yet, lmao. Debate? Look up the definition of
———the term “debate”. I’ve “debated” many people and a debate is an exchange of
———ideas, doctrines, etc. with the intent of proving yours superior over your
———counterpart. Other than the word “Uncle Tom” (used out of context), you have
———had nothing to say to or about me. Your obsessed with my opinion and irate
———within yourself that 1)You can’t gainsay it 2) I don’t worship your god, Obama.
———I do agree though when you say that I am not on your level, lmao. For
———example, you cited Harriet Tubman, you cited the Chinese Communist
———movement, you cited the Mau Maus (all out of context). Those were your
———attempts at points. You with me so far? I refuted them. Those were counters.
———You came back with, “Judah’s a serpent.”, lmao. Do you get it? Do you grasp
———what I’m saying? I think that you just like my attention. You had no problem
———with my commentary until I came against your god, Obama. At least you’re a
