Round 1 — Obama more than holds his own against a ‘Mean’ McCain

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Barack Obama clearly passed the threshold as a credible commander-in-chief. He met and surpassed the test — Bob Shrum, Former senior advisor to the Gore and Kerry campaigns.

We haven’t had a ’short’ president since Harry Truman — Dick Morris

Sneering like a “Cheshire Cat” ready to claw Obama, an ingracious, mean and contentious John McCain repeatedly pivoted on his foolish campaign stump-line: “Obama does not understand,” …”Obama will raise your taxes,” …..interjecting with his FAVORITE FETISH — “Pork Barrel Spending,” a.k.a Congressional EARMARKS.

   Obama Towers Over McCain
Obama Towers Over McCain

McCain’s verbal and body language was “off-putting,” contemptuous, condescending and patronizing. McSAME couldn’t get himself to look at Obama for a full ninety minutes — a grumpy, angry old man indeed.

Maybe old-man McCain thought Obama is a VietCong!

Barack Obama on the other hand was presidential crisp, caring and reassuring. He was polished, confident and focused — fully prepared, and able to convey a real depth of knowledge on nearly every issue.

The Debate (PART 3)

   Watch: The First Presidential Debate, in a Minute

Even White Nationalist ReTHUGlican Nativist, Pat Buchanan of MSNBC, grudgingly gave Obama high marks, comparing the debate to the epic Ali-Frazier fight in Manila, the “Thrilla in Manila,” on October 1, 1975. Buchanan likened Obama to Ali, who almost blinded Frazier with jabs and counter-attacks, in fourteen grueling rounds. “Obama “stuck in the needle” repeatedly, said Buchanan,” “frequently he back-peddled and jabbed effectively.

To his credit Fox News’ Toe-Sucking Pervert, Dick Morris, judged this debate very objectively, surprisingly. While appearing on Fox News’ “O’Hannity and Coward,” Mr Morris said: “Obama came across as knowing and caring about the average person.

Earlier yesterday before the debate Mr. Morris said:

“In a TV debate between a tall man and a short one, the tall guy usually wins - we haven’t had a short president since Harry Truman. Young man vs. older one? The younger usually wins.

Handsome, charismatic candidate against a man who’s neither? Well, you get the point: John McCain will have three strikes against him as he enters the first presidential debate tonight (assuming it goes ahead).” …[MORE]

Dick was right, the taller, younger man won — Barack Obama!

David Gergen, a respected adviser to multiple US presidents for 30 years, and CNN Analyst, had this to say: “Obama held his own like John Kennedy did to an older Nixon in 1960.

Even the ALWAYS biased FoxNews.com conducted an impromptu poll that had Obama beating McCain 54-46%. Note: The poll is safely hidden in an obscure section of the website, while the majority of the stories on the 1st page are all anti Obama.

Nixon/Kennedy TV Debate - 26 September 1960

Time Magazine gave Obama an overall grade of: A- and McCain B-, stating that:

McCain was McCain — evocative, intense, and at times emotional, but also vague, elliptical, and atonal. He failed to deliver his “country first versus Obama first” message cleanly, even when offered several opportunities. Surprisingly, McCain did not talk much about “change,” virtually ceding the dominant issue of the race,” ….

….and Obama went for a solid, consistent performance to introduce himself to the country. He did not seem nervous, tentative, or intimidated by the event, and avoided mistakes from his weak debate performances during nomination season (a professorial tone and long winded answers). Standing comfortably on the stage with his rival, he showed he belonged — evocative of Reagan, circa 1980. He was so confident by the end that he reminded his biggest audience yet that his father was from Kenya.

Two more performances like that and he will be very tough to beat on Election Day.

MAUREEN DOWD on the debate:

McCain kept painting Obama as naïve, and dangerous, insisting that he “doesn’t quite understand or doesn’t get it.”

Obama should have responded “Senator, I understand perfectly, I’m just saying you’re wrong.”

On the surge, he could have said that McCain was the arsonist who wanted to be praised for the great job he’s doing putting out the fire he started.

The Flawed Architect: Henry Kissinger and American Foreign PolicyAnd who cares what Henry Kissinger thinks? He was wrong 35 years ago, and it’s only gotten worse since then.

Obama did a poor job of getting under McCain’s skin. Or maybe McCain did an exceptional job of not letting Obama get under his skin. McCain nattered about earmarks and Obama ran out of gas.

We’re left waiting for a knockout debate. On to Palin-Biden.

More Debate Reviews: Barack Obama Wins, “More Presidential,” “Knowledgeable and Detailed”

——————————————–

The primary focus of this debate was foreign policy, and expectations were that McCain would SLAM-DUNK obama.

Well, he didn’t.

McCain spent too much time angry, negative and lying as usual.

The decision goes to Obama — He won the “Thrilla in Oxford, Mississippi.” Obama only needed to hold-on, …and he did more than that.

NEXT — I am looking forward to Joe Biden EATING the “Killa From Wasilla” alive — Next Week! SLURP…SLURP! The “Foot-In-The-Mouth” face-off will be a CATEGORY 5 debate…LOL!

Sarah ‘The Moose’ Palin is ‘Lying in Tongues’

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


From the day John McCain chose her as his running mate, Sarah Palin has stuck to the same script of blatant lies — repeating the same lies over and over.

She is a barracuda alright, a fabricationist CUM extortionist of Lou Dobbs proportions, a “politico-religious” right-wing Republican operator as ruthless as a “blood-oathedMUNGIKI.

What else would one expect from a delusional Republican moron who belongs to a church in which the parishioners “speak in tongues,” believe that the earth is flat, promote “pray days” for gays — to convert them to heterosexuality, among many other ridiculous GODLY things….[ more ]

The stupidity is astounding!

   [Pic -- Courtesy irregulartimes.com]
Bush -- God Speaks Through MeIt’s Bush thinking once again:God Speaks Through Me,” said Bush on July 9, 2004 — the man who commands the greatest stockpile of nuclear missiles and other weapons of mass destruction ever created, believes that he is a prophet chosen by God to represent all that is good and right in the Universe…..Sarah Palin thinks in the same fashion!

Bush has clearly demonstrated over the last eight years that he is a greedy, reckless idiot of a leader and America must reject anybody else with the same level of irrational stupidity…..Sarah Palin.

Here are Saint Sarah’s blatant lies so far — which she shamelessly continues to trumpet on the campaign trail:

1. Bridge To Nowhere — Palin backed “Bridge To Nowhere” in 2006. She didn’t say “no thanks” to the PORK, until after Congress had already abandoned it but given Alaska a blank check for $223 million in taxpayers’ money anyway. Saint Sarah is lying when she says:I championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress” and opposed federal funding for the controversial bridge to a sparsely populated island. “I told Congress, “Thanks, but no thanks,” on that bridge to nowhere.” “‘If our state wanted a bridge,’ I said, ‘we’d build it ourselves.’” …[ more ]

2. Sold Executive Jet on Ebay — “While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor’s office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.

Old man McCain compounded the distortion:You know what i enjoyed the most? She took the luxury jet that was acquired by her predecessor and sold it on eBay - made a profit.

While it is partly true that jet was listed on eBay, it didn’t sell and was later sold at a loss. When no offers came in, Palin hired a jet broker - Turbo North Aviation in Anchorage - which sold the jet for $2.1 million to an Alaska businessman. The former governor bought it for $2.7 million.

3. Fired The Chef — Palin didn’t fire the chef, instead transferred her to the Republican state legislature to cook gourmet meals in their legislative lounge. ANOTHER SUGAR-COATED LIE — Designed to portray her as a reform (CHANGE) minded candidate.

This woman has a problem with the truth …..in the mode of Bush and Cheney.

…..keep digging Moose!

Sarah Palin: Maverick to Nowhere

Sneaky liars always provoke conspiracy theories

Obama Team Responds

I wish Obama would hit much harder. McCain and his female moose are on the trail lying their asses off. These two — Palin and McCain are typical ‘Take no prisoner THUG‘ Republicans.

The Obama-Biden message is too soft — John McCain and Sarah Palin ARE NOT NICE PEOPLE. They are TOUGH LYING POLITICAL SNAKES, who must be beaten in the head to submission.

Apparently the Democrats have not learned their lesson over the years.

Slightly more than half of the American electorate is “functionally illiterate,” — they don’t read regularly, they don’t analyze and depend mostly on partisan TV to make crucial political judgments. This is worsened by the fact that an estimated 40 million people in the U.S. cannot read a simple sentence, a factor brought about by among many other things - undiagnosed learning disorders, poverty, unstable homes, bad schools and teachers — despite the immense wealth in this country.

Factor in racism and you have fertile “moose-hunting” grounds for Palin and McCain.

An illiterate person will always favor the candidate who connects in a simple “no-frills” manner, rather than a nuanced professorial approach — typical of Obama. After all very few accomplished anything in school, anyway. They tend to have blind and foolish faith, which is downright dangerous, especially in this volatile world of today.

The result: Even an unqualified and intellectually deranged goon like Bush gets elected ….TWICE!

When you elect Nixon (a foul mouthed racist crook), Reagan (a pro-apartheid serial liar with a heart of darkness), Bush Sr. (godfather of a thieving cabal) and Bush Jr. (an un-schooled illiterate and a cabal puppet) for president, in succession — you must be an idiot too. | More on Reagan |

Republicans are specialists when it comes to exploiting the “Low-Information” voter, and they will lie, cajole, mis-represent, fabricate and scratch like hungry hyena’s trying to chew into a chain link fence, to get their malicious message across, tactics the Democrats have never perfected and are afraid to use.

I say fight fire with fire!

Obama and Biden should know that an ill-informed person is far more receptive to fear-mongering, and therefore they must counter — not with more fear-mongering, but by calling McCain and Palin for what they are: LIARS — in as raw a manner as possible.

The Obama team must relentlessly hammer home — that electing McCain is a third Bush term. They must lay prime emphasis on bread-and-butter economic issues, and their three debate performances must be phenomenal.

The excitement surrounding Sarah Palin will eventually fizzle out — as she stumbles through issues, and as her vetting becomes even more intense, but still the Obama campaign cannot afford to be nice to these two poisonous snakes!

They better take the fight to these two LYING THUG GOONS, with a vengeance, before it is too late.

Bob Herbert of the New York Times sums up this LIBERAL FEAR very eloquently:

Liberals have been so cowed by the pummeling they’ve taken from the right that they’ve tried to shed their own identity, calling themselves everything but liberal and hoping to pass conservative muster by presenting themselves as hyper-religious and lifelong lovers of rifles, handguns, whatever.

Without the contribution of liberals, the United States would be a much, much worse place than it is today.

Without the many great and noble deeds of liberals over the past six or seven decades, America would hardly be recognizable to today’s young people. Liberals (including liberal Republicans, who have since been mostly drummed out of the party) ended legalized racial segregation and gender discrimination…..read more here: Hold Your Heads Up.
