FINAL COUNTDOWN FOR USA ELECTION 2008

Quote:

But for now our choices seem to be the guy prone to shoot from the hip or the guy who is afraid to draw at all if there is any risk.

What evidence do you have, that Obama is 'afraid to draw?' These analogies of yours are terrible, Fox.

You'll bend over backwards to excuse any problems McCain has, won't you?

Certainly it follows logically. And my conclusions have every bit as much validity as your conclusions and my response was just as good as yours. You prefer yours. I prefer mine.

Obama: Bailout likely to delay spending programs

Obama says massive financial bailout probably would delay his spending initiatives

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says he probably would have to delay the spending programs he has called for during his campaign in light of the massive government bailout being proposed for the nation's financial industry.

The Bush administration and Congress on Tuesday were discussing the details of a $700 billion financial rescue plan. Obama said the problem should be dealt with as a short-term crisis with bipartisan action and then as a long-term structural issue.

"Although we are potentially providing $700 billion in available money to the Treasury, we don't anticipate that all that money gets spent right away and we don't anticipate that all that money is lost. How we're going to structure that in budget terms still has to be decided," Obama told NBC's "Today" show in an interview aired Tuesday.

"Does that mean I can do everything that I've called for in this campaign right away? Probably not," he said. "I think we're going to have to phase it in."

The Illinois senator has proposed ambitious and expensive initiatives aimed at health care, education, infrastructure, alternative energy and other concerns. He didn't say what proposals might be delayed first, adding that tax revenues would play a role in any budget decisions.

HARWOOD: Would you concede, then, that you could not achieve your goal of balancing the budget in your first term with this huge bailout added?

MCCAIN: I believe we can still balance the budget.

Certainly it follows logically. And my conclusions have every bit as much validity as your conclusions and my response was just as good as yours. You prefer yours. I prefer mine.

That's very funny, okie. Our government is now in the process of rescuing the big gamblers on wall street; the wealthy owns most of it. You have the audacity to remain blind while most of this "benefit" goes to the wealthy.

You're a true (dumbass) conservative.

Who said I was in favor of the bailout? And by the way, you want to talk about Fannie and Freddie? "… records back to 1989 reveals Obama in his three complete years in the Senate is the second largest recipient of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae campaign contributions, behind only Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn…."

How about Obama give all those campaign contributions back? And interesting people: James Johnson, Franklin Raines, and Jamie Gorelick. Where are the investigations, ci? And Dodd and Barnie Frank should have resigned yesterday, these people are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Speaking of dumb, ci, anyone backing a Democrat these days must be totally ignorant of what has gone on in this country.

Wrong again! Don't you ever get the right facts rather than the blather from the McCain campaign? You should be ashamed of yourself.

There is plenty of blather to go around, and the Obama campaign is 100% blather, which is worse than 25% blather. How a guy that has no record, no accomplishments, none, zero, nothing, is supported by the media and trumped up as the next savior of the world, because of what, because he shouts change, this is the most bizarre election I have ever witnessed. How a man that kicked off a campaign in a friends house, that friend trying to bomb the capitol, and now says he should have done the job better, how a man like that can even get 5% support in this country is a mystery. Not really a mystery given the media support, but why the media support, that is the mystery.
