All the candidates have flub moments, there is a whole book of "bushisms" regarding the President's remarks throughout his administration.
These individuals are giving many many speeches throughout their campaigns and terms in office, and they are humans. Thus, there are going to be some flubs here and there.
I think we should cut him some slack-
good grief.

you go ahead and "cut him slack" for his racist church, his wife, his flag pin, his refusal to place his hand over his heart for the national anthem, his friendship with Dorhn, Ayres, Rezko, Emil Jones, Robert Blackwell, Hatem El-Hady & Hamas and sadamm ties, his marxist background, his lack of any position of leadership, His books where he admits to being a racist, His anti semitism and anti Israel advisors,his habit of abstaining from voting, even in critical issues such as abortion and the budget, and his refusal to respond to Votesmart's 2008 Political Courage Test , the vagueries of his political philosophy, such as his failure to define "change" and his apparent flirtations with Marxism, black liberation theology, and the Black Muslim movement.

you go right ahead and cut this loser some slack.

I and most Americans will NOT.

Get the facts from his official website: http://www.barackobama.com/index.php

Politifact.com gives the facts about ALL of the candidates, and sorts the lies from truth. They endorse no one.

Why Many Independents Will Vote Against Obama.
There are few things, if any, that aren't widely publicized facts, even in the Lib Dem controlled National Media. Obama is a poltically fatally flawed , MARXIST Flim-Flam Phony whose TWENTY-YEAR ASSOCIATION with the Black Racist Psycho Wright, and whose acknowledged friendship with the UNREPENTANT HOMICIDAL TERRORIST MANIAC BILL AYERS has exposed OBAMA'S LACK OF HONESTY, and IRREFUTABLE LACK OF GOOD JUDGMENT.
I have posted, and will be posting many threads expressing my opinions about this
COMPLETELY INEXPERIENCED (just two years in the Senate, and ONE passed bill favouring Black Africa) semi-Black Politico who is running on, what to me is completely incomprehensible, "charismatic charm" which is predicated simply on the fact that OVERTLY.....and I repeat OVERTLY Obama happens to be one of the few, if not the ONLY Black Politico who, unlike his colleagues in the Corrupt Black Causus, IS NOT A RAVING BLACK RACIST LIKE CONYERS, RANGEL, indicted WILLIAM J. JEFFERSON, etc...... And, supposedly, at least at the inception of the Dem Primary Campaign, was an UNKNOWN BLACK POLITICO trumpeting the clarion call for the SUPPOSED END to the cancerous RACIAL DIVIDE that exists in America. AND, which was, and STILL IS, CLEARLY, and SUPPOSEDLY "IRREFUTABLY" laid at the door of "WHITEY" !!!!!
Unfortunately, for the EXTREME LibDEMS running the NEW DEM PARTY, Howard Dean aka The Screamer, The Chappaquidick Murderer aka Teddy Kennedy, Hanoi Kerry, Pelouzy, etc., THE WRIGHT DEBACLE came too late in the DEM PARTY NOMINEE game to switch back to the other SOCIOPATH, and COMPULSIVE LIAR, HELLARY.
The WRIGHT DEBACLE was just the OPENING EXPOSE of the ACTUAL OBAMA !
And, the "RACISM IN AMERICA" ? SURPRISE !!! IT IS NOW CLEAR THAT IT'S THE ~ 95% BLACK RACISM THAT IS THE DOMINATING CAUSE FOR RACISM IN AMERICA........WHAT WITH WRIGHT, AND THE BLACK AMERICANS THROWING THE WIFE OF "AMERICA'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT" SLICK WILLY, UNDER THE POLITICAL BUS ! So much for LOYALTY !.......HELLO "BLACK RACISM"!!!!!!
Also, more importantly, The Wright Debacle exposed Obama as just another cynical young semi-black poltico who USED his TWENTY YEAR stay with PSYCHO Wright, and the friendship of the UNREPENTANT HOMICIDAL TERRORIST MANIAC Bill Ayers to ask and get the endorsement of the self-acknowledged UNREPENTANT TERRORIST. And, kick off Obama's Senatorial Campaign from said UNREPENTANT HOMICIDAL TERRORIST MANIAC Bill Ayers' house. THAT IS THE REAL OBAMA THAT THE POLITICALLY IDIOTIC DEM VOTERS ARE SWOONING ABOUT !!!!!
Yes. There are SCORES OF MILLIONS in today's PRIMARY polls, even polls on the coming PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, giving Obama the edge over the TRUE PATRIOT and PROVEN HERO MCCain ! However, many of the Dem Political Idiots, still enthralled with the idea of Obama being the "GREAT UNIFIER" of America, have not DIGESTED THE REALITY of this ISLAMOFASCISTS' ONLY CHOICE for the Presidency of America. The fact that Obama is simply another FATALLY FLAWED AND EXPOSED POLITICO running under a FALSE FLAG who is going to be FULLY EXPOSED in the days to come. THAT IS THE REALITY CONFRONTING THE CORRUPT LIB DEM POLITICOS !!!!!!!!!!
Suggestion: pass this post to your friends.
AND who died and make you the final authority! You better wake up it was all over Tim Russett, Face the Nation and everywhere the republican's are in trouble, PEOPLE ARE MORE SICK OF THEM THAN ANY IMAGINARY STORY YOU CAN COME UP WITH.. all we gotta do is go get Gas and we're reminded of it.. the republican's have run out of gas..watch them get flatten in NOvember, i hope all the racist decide to move to another country, maybe canada, and then you'll have to deal with multiculturalism b/c that's all that's there.. it would help you to be more understanding of different cultures, quite you judging of others, which is what you people need to learn..

Some flubs you can excuse but his have a strong consistent message ...in your book are they all just a "FLUB " ?

"Don't talk about my wife and foriegn ditators that I support ."

"I don't think that my church is actually controversial"

"I'm not privy to senate intellegience reports . What would I have done ? I don't know."

"There's not much difference between my position (on Iraq) and George Bush's."

"There were no terrorists in Iraq untill the U.S. invaded it."

" It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had the chance"

"We have to work with Musharaff"

Dems supported this war... don't let it be said that G.W. wasn't influenced by the Dem. party. He was.

The fact that Congress promised to be different when they were jockeying for position and now deliver NOTHING should raise everybody's hair .

It is not interesting as it is predictable...You are one of the few who did admit it. There are some who won't admit it on these boards. They are trying to hide it. That is why you here the same old Parrot comments over and over. White folks' comments are very predictable when they are Repooblicans. They don't have any thing interesting, new, or unpredictable to say.

I was just referring to the "Kentucky" comment!

I have question marks on maybe two of the issues you've mentioned (the church and his experience).

The lapel pin/national anthem is trivial, and YOU DO NOT PUT YOUR HAND OVER YOUR HEART FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, BUT THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

These trivial issues will not effect the economy or health care.

Its obvious you cannot make an intelligent case for your candidate. Evidenced by your typical and amateur liberal technique of silly counter accusations, rationalizations and drawing moral equivalents. You don't understand these concepts or why you engage in them now do you? Its a normal and predictable defensive reaction when evidence cannot be refuted with fact. Simply put, a method to avoid answering reasonable questions. Your candidate practices it also.
Now , you really show clear lack of savvy when you lash out that I do not reside USA. With a even little self education you too can enjoy the benefits of proxy servers and anonomyzers.
You make many ill-informed and foolish assumptions. Maybe you can search back now and answer the simple questions I put to you. Otherwise continue on with your blind loyalty , ignorance is bliss.
You are really misinformed no one will vote for John McBush. The King of flipfloppers face it the repub party is about to be pulverize in Nov. they have no ideas no values no credibility. Just a bunch of mouth. They can talk louder but they not saying anything useful JUST LIKE YOU. These tinfoil hat conspiracy theories and neo-con propoganda is nowhere to be found on the message boards of CNN or the Huffington Post or other large message boards. You must be a product of inbreeding I bet your parents are first cousins.

The reality of having a black man as president is starting to settle in and the right wing neocon racists are starting to panic. They knew Obama was gaining traction as long as he could keep race out of the equation. They had to inject it with Reverend Wright. It is clear to me that Obama is squeaky clean because they are grasping at straws to condemn him. Unfortunately, there is a segment of the american public who will buy into this nonsense. the latest thing is the "racism" associated with the majority of black democrats supporting Obama. Blacks have been supporting white candidates since they could vote. What we are seeing is a true test of how democratic and egalitarian the DEMOCRATIC PARTY really is willing to be. It is easy to be fair when you have nothing to lose. If Obama is treated unfairly, this could break up the solid support of the black community for the democratic party.

Mississippi election loss is GOP 'wakeup call'

CNN)-- A third-straight special election defeat in as many months left congressional Republicans reeling Wednesday, seriously concerned about what the November elections have in store for their party.
Democrat Travis Childers, left, beat Republican Greg Davis in a special election Tuesday in Mississippi.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, called the defeat a "wakeup call."
"We have to show Americans that we can fix the problems here in Washington and fix the problems that they deal with every day," Boehner said.
Democrat Travis Childers defeated Republican Greg Davis on Tuesday in a Mississippi district that hasn't voted Democratic in more than 15 years, one where George W. Bush defeated John Kerry by 25 points in 2004.
It was a result that even Republicans admit is ominous sign of what could happen in the fall.
"This loss is going to prompt serious introspection by our conference to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it," a Republican leadership aide said. "We have time to do that, and we will if we learn our lessons leading into November. But the next couple of days are not going to be pretty." Watch how Childers' win impacts presidential race »
Democrats control the House by a 236-199 majority. Stacking the deck further against the Republicans is the fact that 26 Republican House members are retiring at the end of their current terms, but only eight Democrats are.
Don't Miss House GOP unveils 'change' agenda for fall
Dem beats Republican in pivotal House race
Clinton:'Grave error' to pick Obama over McCain
GOP uses Obama as bad guy in negative ads
Stuart Rothenberg, editor of The Rothenberg Report, said the election result exposed clear vulnerabilities for Republicans.
"The idea of Republicans losing a special in Mississippi a couple years ago would have been unthinkable," Rothenberg said. "It shows the problems they are having recruiting candidates, delivering their message, demonizing Democrats and swimming upstream."
Childers, a conservative Democrat and local chancery clerk, defeated Davis, the mayor of Southaven, by 4 percentage points -- a stunning upset by any measure, considering the state's deeply conservative leanings.
Republicans and conservative independent groups pulled out all the stops to defend the seat, pouring upwards of $2 million into the contest and dispatching party heavyweights there in the final days to drum up support, including Vice President Dick Cheney.

The party also flooded the airwaves with ads attempting to link Childers with Sen. Barack Obama and Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Watch how Obama's former pastor may cost him »
The GOP was also desperately trying to avoid a third special-election defeat this year in districts that have long been held by Republicans. In March, Democrat Bill Foster won House Speaker Dennis Hastert's former Illinois seat, and two weeks ago Democrat Don Cazayoux won a Louisiana seat that hadn't voted for a Democrat since the 1970's.
Recognizing the potential for another House seat pickup and the strong tailwind it would provide heading into the fall, Democrats spent a similar amount of money on the race, financing several television ads that questioned Davis' competence and ethics. Read more on the ad controversy
And in a sign of just how nasty the contest became, Democrats also sent out a last-minute mailing suggesting that Davis supported moving a statue of the Ku Klux Klan founder into his city. Davis denied that allegation, though Democrats cited a 2005 New York Times article that suggested he was at least open to the idea In the end, Democrats say the election result sent a "political thunderbolt across America."
"It is yet another rejection of the House Republican agenda, the Bush administration's misguided policies and John McCain's campaign for a third Bush term," Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen said. See answers to the question: "Should congressional Republicans start packing?" »
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Cole issued a sobering assessment of the race, saying "time is short" for his party to establish a bold agenda that will lead to election victories in the fall.

"When you lose three of these in a row, you have to get beyond campaign tactics and take a long, hard look at whether this is something wrong with your product," he said Wednesday. "I think we have several challenges ahead of us.... It is evident to me that a large section of the American people does not have confidence in the American people to deal with the issues in front of them."
To that end, the party unveiled a broad "pro-family" agenda for the fall Wednesday.
Democrats have said they view as many as 50 Republican congressional seats up for grabs in November, including several in conservative-leaning districts like the three they have won this year.
National Republican Congressional Committee spokeswoman Julie Shutley called that number "wishful thinking," though she declined to speculate on how many seats the party is in danger of losing.
Shutley also said several freshman Democrats in conservative-leaning districts will face tough races in the fall.
"Those members have been taken votes for two years, votes that are a lot more liberal than what they campaigned on," she said.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Doug Thornell said the Mississippi election results clearly show that GOP efforts to tie local candidates to Obama failed.
"Their tactics failed as far as trying to nationalize the congressional race," he said. "The fact is that they don't have an agenda, they don't have a message, and they are resorting to their old playbook that is now out of date."
Obama said Wednesday that the Mississippi result suggested his name would not scare away voters in conservative districts.
"They were trying to do every trick in the book to try to scare folks in Mississippi," he said. "And it didn't work."
The Republican Party is expected to deploy the Obama strategy in several districts in the fall. The NRCC, the conservative group Freedom Watch and Davis himself spent well over $1 million airing television commercials that linked Childers to Obama.
In one ad, Childers was shown next to Kerry and Obama while the Illinois senator's ranking from the National Journal as the most liberal senator was noted. In another ad paid for by Davis, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was shown and a narrator chastised Childers for not publicly denouncing the pastor's controversial remarks. That ad also claimed Obama had endorsed Childers.(Childers later said that was not the case.)
But Cole said Wednesday using Barack Obama as a tool in conservative districts could still prove successful.
"I think that's still a useful tool.... I think reminding people that we have a very liberal and, I think, very inexperienced Democratic nominee, and your opponent is likely to be supporting that individual, is interesting,"

i am irish but i can't remember if rev wrong said i had a right or left brain but it was clear to me he was trying to make some excuse why his people don't score higher on tests for jobs and schools.

i don't score well in track and field but with my "object oriented brain" i think i could do well by bringing an object like a motor cycle to a track meet. sounds fair to me. what do you think?

Ladies and gentlemen , I present to you exhibit "A". Stuipd Citizens presents itself for what it is. I clearly struck a nerve by asking generic questions and challenging your veracity for your candidate. Your juvenile cyber gangsta behavior exposes you as a fraud. This is why Obama will lose by a landslide in November. Mentally challenged folks like yourself cannot get the message out and answer simple questions. Sad, our nation deserve better.

Through ignorance of factual issues and inability to behave yourself, you reflect poorly on your supposed candidate of choice, you serve as a wonderful Republican asset. Maybe on purpose ! Now there is a thought. Keep up the good work , McCain appreciates your ignorance.

Yet another fine example of the utter failure of the liberal public school system.
