Sharp exchanges for Obama, McCain

In their final debate, John McCain and Barack Obama traded jabs on the economy, directing their remarks at a voter Obama met on the campaign trail -- Joe the plumber. McCain blasted Obama for saying he wanted to "spread the wealth," while Obama countered that he would cut taxes for 95 percent of all Americans.

McCain won that one. Very good points.

Obama lied and told only a fraction of the story many time.

why was mccain blinking so much? Was he signalling to the sniper to finish Obama off or something? It was a little disconcerting.

Still, you got to say that Obama won that. All that McCain had was talking about Ayers, and ignoring it when Obama answered him, and then bring up the same old misinformation.

Nobama and his goofy little smirk. We'll see if he's smirking Nov. 4th. He is such a liar.

What ISSUE did McCain win on? After THREE debates, you STILL don't know what this guy wants to do.

By the way, did you hear McCain CLEARLY say that he will RAISE your taxes on your healthcare benefits.

He asks why would Obama want to raise anyone's taxes. THEN he says that HE will RAISE ALL WORKING AMERICANS TAXES.

WHAT A HYPOCRITE.

He also sounded like a hurt child when he talked about a guy commenting on their rabble rousing, and then blamed it on Obama because he wouldn't do town-hall meetings.

Completely ridiculous.

Below is from the Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky, the guru for community organizers and a roadmap for Barack Obama‘s campaign to screw you and your country...

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default."

It's a problem when Obama considers a domestic Terrorist a simple college professor. Ayers has made no apologies. EVER!

It's a problem when Obama worked directly for Ayers and tried to implement radical teaching programs in Illinois but claim that Ayers is someone he barely knows.

It's a problem that Obama lied about launching his Illinois campaign in Ayers own home!

It's a problem when a candidate simply cannot tell the truth or even admit that he made some mistakes with past associations.

Obama simply lies too often while lacking the leadership and courage we need.

Obama kicked butt! McCain has big time anger issues that need to be addressed. We do not need a nutter like that in the White House. WTG Obama!

Time for money for the education for our children, not war funds. No more warmongering traitors in the White House!

John McCain can't stop lying.

He claimed that he had always denounced Republicans that said nasty things about Obama. LIE!

QUESTION: The chair of the Republican Party in Virginia has said, quote, in Time magazine, "both Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden have friends that have bombed the Pentagon. That is scary." Is that appropriate for a state party chair to be saying?

MCCAIN: "I have to look at the context of his remarks. I have always repudiated any comments that have been made that were inappropriate about Senator Obama.

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.c...

Then he claimed that similarly nasty things had been said regarding him at Obama rallies. But where are they?

He's just make crap up.

McCain correctly pointed out that Obama foolishly thinks the Federal Gov is the answer to everything.

Just keep throwing more good money into bad programs. This is the mark of someone that's never been responsible for making anything work!

The only Chairmanships I've see listed for Obama have ended in Bankruptcy or have ended with him NEVER calling a single Hearing as Chairman of the Foreign relations committee!

You ask why? He told us during the Primaries admitting to Hillary that he didn't have the time because he wanted to campaign!

Here's a guy, obama, that doesn't even do his current job right or well yet wants to get a Promotion?

Are you kidding me!
