Is John McCain, messy maverick, qualified?

If elected president, Sen. John McCain promises to stage a press conference every week, a singular horror that, of itself, should be enough to doom his chances.

Barack Obama’s half-brother has quietly been promoting cheap Chinese exports as the Democratic senator raises his domestic and international profile in the race for the White House.

Mark Ndesandjo — the son of Barack Obama’s late father and his third wife, American Ruth Nidesand who runs an upscale kindergarten in Nairobi – has taken significant steps to avoid public scrutiny, the paper reported. Ndesandjo's relationship to the Democratic hopeful remains unknown to most of his acquaintances in Shenzhen, a border boomtown in southern China where he has lived since 2002.

While Obama refers to Ndesandjo simply as “my brother,” the two men have held divergent viewpoints on their American heritage and the how to live in the glare of publicity, according to the Times of London.

“He is big, strong and full of energy, speaks good Chinese and is a really easy-going guy,” a Chinese friend of Ndesandjo’s told the Times of London.“He always wears a hat over his shaven head. I believe he has several consultancy jobs.”

According to the Times of London, Chinese officials have unanswered questions about Ndesandjo’s Internet company, Worldnexus Ltd., which has provided corporate communications and Web site design to Chinese firms seeking customers in English-speaking markets. Worldnexus is not registered to conduct business in Shenzhen and officials at the city’s commercial administration bureau said this raised potential issues of taxation and compliance with the law by its customers.

Les Payne, the only reason to buy a Newsday! His comedic column is one of the funniest written. On a par with Jessie Jackson & Al Sharpton. His presentation of the world of which he sees through his eyes, is worthy of a "I Hate Chris" Rock half hour sit-com. The man is FUNNY.
What he needs to do is take his comedy on the road. He needs to do his version of stand-up to audiences south of the Mason-Dixon. Throw in a few expletives and a red leather leisure suit, and he’s bring down the house.“it practically took an affirmative action appointment”, I was rolling on the floor on that one!
The only thing he’d need is a goofy white neighbor who’s married to a black girl, a smart-mouthed maid, a big fat wife and a dry cleaning business, and he’d have a hit on BET! George “Less Pain” Jefferson; what better way is there, to make white America laugh?

[Whitie]

"we need seek no analysis beyond that of Gen. Wesley Clark's": OMG, if that isn't the funniest one-liner, I don't know what is. You Sir, are a genius.
WHo else but you could lexicon your way to a Pulitzer for comedic writing.
"waywardness, one born to money, the other marrying into it", is side-splitting. I pee'ed myself after reading that!

[Columnist]

Hey Les, how does it feel to be the Affirmative Action poster-boy working at Newsday? Do you really think your "protection by complexion” position at Newsday is strictly because of the quality of work you produce? This is Long Island Dude! Your target audience doesn’t read your column. They’re too busy shooting each other on the streets of Newcastle, Wyandanch and Bellport.

[4moreyearz]

Could at least one of you who have chosen to dismiss this column as a joke please explain to me which part of what he said is NOT true?

[FourMoreYearz]

Wow, an Obama Campaign staffer is up early this morning, checking the news feeds.
You politics are exposed by the location of your ISP, there Mr. 4moreyearz. So what U.S Government job that allows you internet access do you hold?
State Department? HUD? Maybe you're an employee for the District of Columbia.
Ask yourself just how many residents in D.C.'s neighborhoods will even see "LESS PAIN"'s article.
HE wrote it for liberal whites who drink white wine and drive Volvo's and think Pete Seeger was the last great musical Icon.

Go back to bed Zippy, the Polar bears are fine!

So, according to you, McCain does nothing but complain. What does Obama do, nothing but?????? Try NOTHING. Obama is an empty suit, does and says nothing...with a teleprompter, says it well, without a teleprompter, talks like the ignorant buffoon that he is. Sort of sounds like you.

[Masterful]

Qualified for retirement. NOW.

[zommiebozo]

And your guy is qualified for what again? He's a product of the Chicago Democratic Machine. He's not the "Agent for Change" that you're pushing!. He's "shuckin' and jiv'in" his way around his half-brother's crooked business deals and his own dismal senate voting record.
He's a socialist/communist and quotes scripture as a political nessessity.

[master_of_nothin g]

So explain to me again why NEW YORK CITY JEWS are flocking to he McCain camp again????

I will agree that McCain ought to get his ****- together or he's going to get slammed in Nov. As for the shucker & jiver, Obama, he dosen't have the experience of even telling a story that's the truth. He says what the people want to hear and that's about it. Both of these candidates(?????) are useless. It's a shame that the media dosen't show & tell the TRUTH about both candidates. I guess Les thinks he's going to be press secretary . Mayde Dolan will get rid of him. I can see the affirmative action suit now.

Hey Zell, dump him and sell Newsday to Murdock.

McCain has sounded like a jealous, old biddy this past week. He's done nothing but put down Obama during Obama's trip abroad.

Everytime McCain would open his mouth it was about Obama's trip. So what, John? You ended up drawing more attention to it by complaining about it and acting like a 12 year old girl who didn't get picked for the cheerleading squad, but her best friend did.

McCain's behavior this past week has sealed the deal for me. He's pretty much a backstabbing, nasty little man who has shown me that he is also insecure about himself. That's not the kind of person I want leading my country.

Hey Bozo, this is about McCain not Barak Attack - Hell, Nader has my vote, no one else deserves it.

[MEAN EUGENE]

We've tried the cowboy way with Bush, with disasterious results. Is that what they called McCain when he was singing like a canary while a POW?

[mccainarama]

I fear for the USA.

If the racists get their way, and cannot see that Obama is far and beyond a superior candidate than the blubbering old man mccain. we are screwed.

[Nbam]

Simply, HELL NO!
