Daaaaaamn! That’s good.
Admiral McCain kicked Jrs a$$
I hope they show that ad to Obamas people in the spin room. It will take the air out of their sails.
awesome.
Golly, I think this ad asks the wrong question. After all, Obama is finally showing some good judgment! Maybe the question should be: does Obama have an idea of his own?
That was quick.
MSNBC says Obama more presidential because Mac ignored him.
That’s gotta hurt Gene!
Quick, yes, but never premature.
Wow, that was quick.
The ObaMessiah Team is now going to have to assemble a Post-Debate Soundbite Control Squad.
It is called CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC.
msm is already at work protecting Obama
The MSM has got to be in denial if they think the empty suit won this debate. It was like a middle school student versus a grown up. But the MSM will try to filter this debate and pretend that the Obamunist won.
cnn says no talk about economy in this debate. Only foriegn polociy. is this call denial?
I’m sure the MSM will declare Obambi the winner in 3…2…1…
cnn. Obama stood on stage with stature. Obama thrashed Mac on Iraq
I think Obama forgot that this wasn’t a democratic primary debate.
According to FNC report BO said he agreed with McCain 8 times during the debate …
Love it!
Sen McCain was awesome.
If people can’t see through the facade that is Sen Obama, we are pooched.
And I believe they said that McCain said that Obama “doesn’t understand” 7 times.
CBS was attempting to portray a Obama win. Even had a nonpartisan focus group. Everyone believes that don’t they?
cnn, toonin. Obama reached accross party lines.
Borger: Mac concending to Obama.
cnn is all Obama, as expected.
those guys/girls are quick. MSNBC poll has Obama the winner 74%. Riiiight.
salt … correct
Hilarious.
I love the “…NO” at the end.
MSNBC: no one can question BO commend of the facts. BO is back on track.
MSNBC Mac lost control of economic topic.
msnbc Mac said he would continue bushs policies!!!
Actually, Obama team’s response is similar to one I had as I listened to McCain: McCain does talk about the past too much, how long he’s been around, how many years he’s known someone. For better or worse, the theme is “change”, and that doesn’t help him.
I love how Borat, er, Barack wants to have the tax issue both ways. First he says US companies are sending jobs overseas and he would give tax breaks to companies to keep jobs here. Then he turns right around and says that US companies avoid taxes by using loop-holes in the tax code. Which is it B.O. ??
The fact that companies are moving jobs outside the country should be all the evidence anyone needs to prove that US companies are over taxed.
BTW, kudos to McCain camp. You guys are quick!
You bet. I paid good money for my lobotomy!
I think ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN had their scorecards filled out before the debate began.
Personally I think “bo” was briefed on the questions. He didn’t do his err, uh err, uh, uh. err like he normally does. I also think he rehearsed and thats why he insited on tonight rather than wait like McCain wanted to do before he forget everything. It’s just an idea but the libs are doing everything in their power to win this race.
Coperations do not pay tax, loopholes or not. Consumers pay tax.
Nations which do have have a corerate (hidden) tax have a sales advantage over Corperations which do act as tax collectors.
“This is Keith Olbermann reporting on the successful landing of the Hindenburg here in Lakehurst, New Jersey”
Fair and balanced.
Brilliant ad.
One of the stupidist comments I’ve ever heard from Obama is that Iran became a threat because of the Iraq war.
Iran was a threat since 1979 when they took hostages.
Hah! Great!
I thought the debate, regarding the issues, was pretty close as they both stood ‘close to the vest’ with their talking points. I do think that Barack was a little too polished and not flexible enough. McCain was a little bit repetative at certain times. Barack was too made-up, he goofed on the KIA memorial bracelet by having to look to remember the dead soldier’s name, he was a little bit John Kerryish with the smirks and rebuttals, he invoked Bush too much and his lack of foreign policy experience could not be overcome by reiterating Democrat talking points on the war in Iraq and the economy.
I have to give the overall edge to McCain as most people don’t hear them talking about the issues, they decide based on style and delivery. He seemed more passionate about the issues, a little more in touch with policy and resolved to lead the country forward, not to change it. Barack is a little bit too cocky in his demeanor and that does not play well in an open forum.
The fools sending text messages are wasteing thier dough….. it doesnt mean carp, think how many people from ages 40 to 80 who arent voting…. lol
text voting is the biggest scam for getting money for doing nothing evah!
foolish.
katablog, I totally agree with your post at #5. How can they ask the question, “Is he ready to lead”, answer it with a “No”, and have that follow Obama AGREEING with McCain??
I think they’ll tweak that before we see it air big time.
BHO said how important education was and especially math/science and yet, his very own Ayer’s CAC (Chicago Annenberg Challenge) foundation specifically refused programs which focussed on these subjects and instead favored groups such as ACORN. Hello?
Obama talked about negotiating and yet he’s never negotiated for anything in his life except maybe his contract with Ayers. Oops, my bad, Michelle O. did that for him.
When Obama tried to ridicule McCain about saying the Iraqi people would welcome us and somehow they didn’t, Obama was actually referring to his jihadi buddies and not the average Iraqi.
Obama said we need to send a couple more brigades to Afghanistan (a surge? Oh my), somebody should do a Charlie Gibson/Couric gotcha and ask BHO exactly how many soldiers are in a brigade. Bet he’d “uh, uh, uh, uh”,until he had to say he’d “get back to ya”. BHO decries the surge in Iraq and yet he calls for one in Afghanistan–priceless.
Bottom line: Obama does not get it–period!
McCain/Palin go, go, go!
That’s hilarious!
Saddam Hussein admitted, while in prison awaiting his execution, that he wanted the world to believe that he had WMD’s because he was afraid of Iran.
To suggest that Iran became a threat because we invaded Iraq may be the single biggest foreign policy gaffe of Obama’s entire campaign.
Ignorant. Not. Ready. To. Lead.
They should say, “Is Obama ready to lead?” “No, but he seems to be ready to follow McCain.”
BTW, just for the trolls, I know that a battalions strength varies (Obama could still guess, right?) but then the “Bush doctrine” is varied also (tell that to useless and lost Charlie G.–K?). Fixed it b4 you embarrassed yourselves.
2 or 3 Brigades is a Division. Where are we going to come up with a new Division, unless military expenditures are increased to activate one?
He was only 18 then. Doesn’t count, remember?
Old enough to join the Army. I did.
“McCain is absolutely right.”
Obama, who’s name is on that bracelet again?
Are you sure none of the worlds kids like us anymore?
McCain ‘08.
Period.
Kissinger is on the ball as well. He has already come out and said Obama misquoted him. He DEFINITELY DID NOT say the president should meet with Iran directly. Smack down.
I’m quite impressed.
All the little non-committed tards saying how they don’t want to hear about McCain’s experience. They want to hear about new stuff. Well, I have a paperboy who likes to talk about how he’d change things if he was president. He never offers specifics, and never talks about his past. I mean…that’s what these idiot non-committed voters (yeah, SUUUURE, they’re non-committed) want, right? Experience for what may be the most important job in the world? Doesn’t matter….we want to whine and complain about the past 8 years, compare himt o Bush, and want someone who talks in non-specific platitudes about “Change, change, change”.
Some people are just too stupid to vote, and honestly, I think most non-committed people are just that. With as much information that is out there…to make it THIS far and not have a favorite? Where you people been?
Amen. It’s not the campaign hasn’t been going on for 2 years. Who can’t make up their minds?
bcat You are quite correct. BHO wants to cut the military budget. As you say; where do we come up with another Division? Oh, BHO will probably activate the Mahdi army and send them to Afghanistan to fill in for the mostly invisible NATO forces. Afterall, BHO gave more credit to al Sadr and his, ughh/cough/gag, militia, than our own forces as far as quelling the insurgency after the surge. He wants to cut our defense forces et al and tax ‘n spend us into complete Marxist/Socialism leaving us helpless to the wolves of islam etc. BHO has no, none, zero, nada, zilch allegiance to the USA, and he is loathe for us to kill any islamoterrorists. His bretheren? I know I’ll take flak for that from some but BHO has shown his adoration for his youthful training in all that is allah.
The Adhan or Muslim call to prayer for BHO is “One of the prettiest sounds on earth at sunset”. Quoted from his NYTimes interview 3/06/07.
McCain/Palin/USA go, go, go!
Awesome! …and doesn’t that still leave McCain with 5 more “John is absolutely right“s to use? Or are they “John and I agree“? …either way works for me!
ajmontana, I’m 46, and I texted a vote in…for free…If no one over 40 is texting votes in, how in hell is McCain doing so well on the Fox News, which is also closely mirroring the voting at Drudge, but Drudge has more than twice as many votes (~172,000 votes, 67% for McCain)?
Where’s that young whippersnapper text vote? Out partying? Maybe we should hold the election on Friday night too!
OF THE PEOPLE WHO WATCH MSNBC, 74% believe Obama was better. Tells more about the people who watch them, then about which was better.
Right on ajmontana #58. I’ve got some years on you but I agree. Us beyond 30 crowd are a force to be reckoned with, and we are reliable.
Cool idea to go to a Friday (night in particular) vote. The leftist wannabe sheeple “yoots” (to steal from Ed Gwynne in “My Cousin Vinnie”) will be far to busy with their bongs/booze while praying to the cold porcelean god American Standard for redemption after one to many hits/swigs.
Maybe we could get an “Obamaswirlarator” type of kermode put on the market specifically for these lost souls? Do ya think?
McCain/Palin go, go, go
Right on
ajmontanarerestlessindependent#58. Corrected. Sorry 4 error.No attack here, just my own HO.That is what communist organizations do. Don’t forget PMSNBC though!
Very effective ad, hope to see it a lot!
MSNBC poll…might as well come from the democratic headquarters for all the worth it is. I checked several sites for polls this morning. The liberal ones have Obama as the clear winner and the conservative ones have McCain as the clear winner. Shows how much polls matter. Too many are push-pull anyway to be seriously taken.
EMPTY SUIT – Barak Obama.
I cannot believe how quickly that ad was posted after the debate ended! McCain’s camp is on the game!!! I personally believe that McCain will continue — in the next debates — to show how empty of a suit Obama is…
That means McCain was right at least 15 times.
That ad just made my day! Thanks for posting it, and thanks to John McCain who’s absolutely right on issues that matters most. He is definitely ready to lead.
Thanks to that great leader, Jimmy Carter.
Like McCain or not, the USA cannot endure Carter’s sort of *leadership* again – and anyone who thinks Obama would do better hasn’t been paying attention.
Nothing is free about texting (you get a bill). when I wrote that I had no idea which way the vote would go and the way it did is great news. Still alot of people in the upper age bracket did not vote and if were getting the 20 to 40 years age group that is a very good sign.
standard rate applies to this message .99 cents, 1 vote for american idol and your first born… lmao
I’m throwing an all night kegger for Obama supporters nov 3rd. unlimited free beer leave your car keys at the bottom of the pool.
all welcome.

They are – many of them are saying President McCain came off as irritated and angry, while Obama was smooth and retained his cool. The MSM is failing Americans in a major way, and no one seems to care. Sad.
The MSM hated Reagan, too. And Lincoln for that matter. I don’t worry about them overmuch. But yes, they are sad. Pathetic, really.
Yeah sad indeed when they have to sit up and try and figure out how to spin it to their favor… pathetic.

MSNBC, what a tool chest. Rachael Maddow was ecstatic when a MSNBC poll showed that 60% of the viewers thought she was hot. Then she found out that 92% of their male viewers thought Olbermann was hot!
character counts
vote present in’08
Obama is willing to say when he thinks McCain is right. McCain never admits Obama is right, even on things he agrees about. This is one of the many differences between the candidates that make people prefer Obama.
It’s not a crime to agree with McCain. When the McCain people put out an ad that makes fun of Obama for sometimes agreeing with McCain, they are hurting themselves. They seem to be saying that it’s stupid to agree with McCain — which is not the best advertisement for their candidate.
In case you want to sing along:
You’re Absolutly Right
The old ‘they seem to be saying’. No, they are saying that BHO really has little to offer. (I talked to John McCain and he told me this is ‘what they are saying’!) Then again, perhaps in Obama’s World, ‘change’ has now extended to debate tactics whereby just standing there with your teeth in your mouth and agreeing with your opponent’s position is certain to prove your originality and leadership skills? And then the Queen of Hearts said…
That’s just his way, DwD, ignore it.
Besides, “Change We Can Believe In” ain’t exactly knocking’em over in Peoria; otherwise, Obama The Experienced would have been way ahead (ten to fifteen pts.) ever since Hillary was shoved aside in June.
The reason Obama was reduced to simply parroting McCain’s responses is because his pool of knowledge on many issues is quite shallow and his vaunted speaking abilities are quite limited when he’s forced to step away from the teleprompter and put his words together extemporaneously.
If Obama was the kind of once-in-a-generation, latter-day-Cato the obamatons pretend he is, he would have been able to say more than “uh, yeah, me too” when he agreed with McCain. Too often, he could neither elaborate on McCain’s position nor offer any coherent criticism of it. The Russia-Georgia conflict is a good example. McCain immediately pointed to the strategic importance of the Black Sea, while Obama… well, he just, uh, mmm, agreed with Senator McCain.
BTW, do you really expect us to believe that Obama supporters like it when he expresses his agreement with McCain? Consider for a second: what are the transitive properties of political positions? If McCain agrees with Bush, and Obama agrees with McCain, then I guess Obama agrees with Bush! On many issues, an Obama administration would then be just a continuation of the Bush administration, right? Do you want 4 more years of George W. Bush? Eager for a third Bush term? Then vote for Obama! He agrees with McCain, who agrees with Bush!
If this is a trivial complaint when directed against Obama, then it must also be trivial when directed against McCain. But to many, if not most, obamatons, McCain’s agreement with Bush is not a trivial matter, so I guess you’re just bullsh*ting us when you say you just adore Obama when he says “I agree with McCain.”
If I was a betting man, I’d wager (not too) deep down inside, you hate it when The One fails to distinguish his position from McCain’s, even when he does in fact agree with him, because his failure to highlight their differences undercuts the main thrust of his campaign…
… to say nothing of the grist it provides for the sound-bite mill.
