McCain v. Obama: 'Change is coming'

IS OBAMA ANOTHER DUKAKIS?
.
"...Obama does not, and perhaps even cannot, represent 'change' for the very simple reason that the Democrats are a status quo party." says famed Leftist Christopher Hitchens.

Bill Burton, the same guy who told us just yesterday that Obama "stood up" to the Chicago Machine, is now telling us, apparently, that CEO pay is the reason that the housing bubble collapsed. Really? Are you sure it has nothing to do with mismanagement and lack of congressional oversight at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Are you sure it has nothing to do with a lack of action by Congress to enact reforms at Fannie and Freddie – reforms proposed by McCain three years ago? But, no, of course not. If only CEOs would donate all their earnings to charity, or work for nothing, then this economic debacle would not have occurred. Right, Mr. Burton. If you believe that, then let me tell you: You own the wrong Bridge. But I'll sell the right one to you at a good price.

Dear concerned citizens of America and Mass Media of the U.S.A.

As a concerned registered independent voter, forensic psychiatrist, disabled American I made my decision to vote after taking into consideration following joint tickets attributes and characteristics.

1. Has the ticket shown adequate calmness, coolness, and connectedness's under pressure to lead our nation [Presidential Temperament]?

2. Has the ticket shown sustained sound "Judgment and Caliber"?

3. Has the ticket shown adequate understanding of depth and degree to address the crucial challenges in their their purpose, policies, and positions [ Honesty, integrity and sincerity]?

4. Has the ticket sufficient "understanding and knowledge" of inside Washington workings [Experience]"?

5. Has the ticket reservoir resilience, wisdom, and vigor to address the present and future f our beloved "Great-grand Nation"?

6. Has the ticket enough joint foreign policy experience and exposure based on " Values, Virtues, Vastness, and " [American moral soul]"?

7. Has their campaign talk, slogans, ads, plans, and programs based on facts and are they free of fear, fiction, frivolous labels, unfair attacks, negativity, and impulsively? [No "imminent danger to national
security and safety"].

8. Has the ticket genuinely kept on message of country first and politics last and avoided copying [Message change"]?

9.Has the ticket message stayed away from Culture divide and war[ Disaster prevention ]?

10. Has the ticket resisted being surrounded, supported and surrogate's by divisiveness, distortion's, and destructive characters, [ Real patriotism VS shiftiness and shameless parrot-ism]?

11. Has the ticket thoughtful, real non-partisan, & non-impulsive plans to address our current economic crisis or political tactics and temperamental statements.

I have personally and professionally concluded that OBAMA-BIDEN ticket will lift and inspire our greatgrand nation back to its greatness within and restore our global standing with the use of maximum, firm
international diplomacy and minimal force if and when indicated {" Peace thru Strenght "}.

Yours sincerely,

PS: Protect U.S.A from McCain-palin's reactive and knee-jerk reactions.

What else can he do ? He has to have an immediate and continuous make-over. His political history is catching up with him, whenever he opens his mouth !! The only real change you will get from Senator McCain is, the changing of his position, on a daily basis !! Those positions that he wants everybody to believe aren't his, are the very positions that have help create the biggest financial blunder, on his mentor, President Bush's watch !! All he can do is keep his revisionists busy, rewriting his past positions and trying to deceive the voting public. His record is almost as dismal as President Bush's record and that is downright dismal !!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

You already did Barack! You voted for the bridge to nowhere!

Palin/McCain '08

Yep....Change is a coming....He'll change his view on de- regulations....off shore drilling....agents of intolerence.....Women....whatever it takes...he'll change for your vote.

Is McCane a Parrot? Yes!
He agrees with Bush on EVERYTHING, especially his view on the current economic status and especially that bogus war!

Yeah, MJ,

We'll take Clinton's budget surplus and peace over Republican change. Wars, debt, economic meltdown, brought to you buy those republican agents for change.

McCain is running against his own record. His ad (above) says he will stop CEO ripoffs. Carly Fiorina is identified by the McCain campaign as a "senior advisor". This is laughable.

March 08, 2006 — CIO —

On Tuesday, two shareholders sued Hewlett-Packard (HP), alleging that the company violated its policy on executive compensation when it doled out some $21.4 million for former chief executive Carleton S. Fiorina’s severance package...

Fiorina was forced to resign in February 2005...

McCain got his groove back.

Now you're messing with a:

"Are you sure it has nothing to do with a lack of action by Congress to enact reforms at Fannie and Freddie – reforms proposed by McCain three years ago?"

JB, it's nonsense. He never proposed jack****.

The bill in question was S190, introduced by Hagel and co-sponsored by Dole and Sununu in January 2005. John Mac was nowhere in sight. It languished in a GOP-controlled Senate till July 2005, when it was kicked over to Shelby's banking committee. Still, no sight of John.

Shelby was still hoping it would come out of committee in January 2006, but John was AWOL. In mid-2006, the accounting oversight agency released a scorching report on Fannie Mae. Two days later, Johnny Mac came back to life, signed on 190 as a cosponsor and issued a scathing broadside which would have been relevant had he released it 18 months earlier.

That's no profile in courage, that's political opportunism. I hope he got a green light from Rick Davis before he did it however.

"Nudge/nudge, wink/wink, go to it Johnny, whatever it takes...."

You'll take four more years of a Republican presidency as your candidate and party -- which both stand for nothing -- deservedly go down in flames. Can't say that breaks my heart.

"says famed Leftist Christopher Hitchens"?

Who? You mean the guy who has been promoting the Iraq war as fervently as Bush? That "Famed Leftist"?

Who cares?

This mess (which? take your pick!) is the direct result of Republican idealogy and mis-management.

WASHINGTON — One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement..

The disclosure undercuts a remark by Mr. McCain on Sunday night that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had had no involvement with the company for the last several years.

Poor Larry Craig got a truckload of moral condemnation for tapping his wingtips in the men's john, but his party proposes to spend 5 percent of the GDP to buy up bad loans made by men who walk away with their fortunes intact while retirees see their 401K go pffffffff like a defunct air mattress, and it's business as usual. Mr. McCain is a lifelong deregulator and believer in letting brokers and bankers do as they please -- remember Lincoln Savings and Loan and his intervention with federal regulators on behalf of his friend Charles Keating, who then went to prison? Remember Neil Bush, the brother of the C.O., who, as a director of Silverado S&L, bestowed enormous loans on his friends without telling fellow directors that the friends were friends and who, when the loans failed, paid a small fine and went skipping off to other things? Mr. McCain now decries greed on Wall Street and suggests a commission be formed to look into the problem. This is like Casanova coming out for chastity.

You have completely missed the point. Just because you happen to dislike Hitchens (who is in fact both famous and a Leftist) you can not deny the truth of his piece -- that is, the Democratic party stands for the status quo as does it's candidate, the timid unimaginative poltroon, Barack Obama.

He is a latter day Dukakis. Good luck winning or fomenting "change" with that!
