RNC clock gigs Obama on Iraq

Somehow I don't think John McCain's visits to Iraq were all that glorious - he was escorted through the Green Zone, probably safer than W walking through New Orleans, with a cadre of military surrounding and protecting him. It'd be another story if he traveled with infantry through Falluja or Basra...but McCain is doing nothing less than claiming "Mission Accomplished".

McCain = McSame.

I really think Barrack Hussein Obama really need to seriously look at the SAFETY ISSUE for each individual citizens and immigrants living in this country and abroad than making meaningless speaches that amount to nothing when the next attack devastate us all.I rather a Presidential candidate is talking tough about defending this nation and its people at home and abroad given the many signs of the spread of violent around the world and how well organized those Terrorist groups is now than a candidate that is being illadvised about talking to dictators and violent leaders.

Go for it RNC.Maybe you don't get it yet but americans see the connection between Iraq and the economic recession we are in.McCain said he would never surrender, how long is never?

I'd like to see the clock showing how many days we have been
in Iraq. That would be far more interesting.

Republicans are pathetic. They have no vision, no leadership, no clue. And we have $4 gas. Meanwhile, they start a clock.

Did Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld visit Iraq before we laid waste to them?

McCain's proposal that he and Obama travel to Iraq TOGETHER shows McCain lacks good judgement and executive experience.

Any executive with basic good judgement knows you do not put two of your top leaders on the same plane/in the same dangerous situation at the same time. Ask IBM.

McCain's proposal is pure political posturing and his trips to Iraq were pure wasted photo ops that put our soldiers guarding him at risk just for his own political gains. Someone who would do this is NOT FIT for Commander in Chief!

Went to the RNC website, it looks like a third grade put up of a Rush Limbaugh sponsored hack site. And this is concerning issues as important as the leadership of the United States of America? I would think they could be a little more professional and cater to a higher level of intelligent voters. It's insulting that they assume the voting public goes for such drivel. Those who pull others down to lift themselves up, do nothing more than at best equalize the levels of the two in competition.

Clearly they are worried about Obama.

Ummm how long has it been since this administration and McSame have been focused on this country and its needs?

Let's start a clock for that shall we?

RNC is really desperite.
Face it guys, too many lies, too many have died.

We the public are sick and tired of Republicans, I can hardly wait to be rid of Little George.

How about a clock that counted every time McCain went to Iraq and came back with the wrong assessment and didn’t know what was really going on!

How about a calendar to keep track of the years it has been since the Republicans have been right about anything.

I've never been to Iraq, and can confidently say that I will never go to Iraq, but I guarantee you I know more about our business there than any single member of the G. Dumbya Bush administration.

An orchestrated visit to a war zone by any politician can never ever, in a million years give that politician a clear view of the situation. Our soldiers know, our war correspondents know, and the poor Iraqi citizens know of the quagmire. John McCain, Dumbya, Cheney, Rice and the whole lot of them know only one thing: they screwed up royally; but they will deny that truth to the ends of their miserably ignorant days.

Obama hasn't been to Iraq? Oh my, another sleepless night for me. Not.

Obama '08 -

The DNC should start a 100 year countdown clock for how long McCain plans to spend in Iraq

How about a clock that counted every time McCain went to Iraq and came back with the wrong assessment and didn’t know what was really going on!

CHANGE! (LOL)

Speaking of Clocks: Do you remember 911 when Bush was in the classroom in SC after being informed of the first plane hitting the WTC? Bush sat there for 7 minutes perusing "My Pet Goat". If an airplane is flying at 500 mph, how much distance would it cover in 7 minutes? The plane would cover 58.33.. miles. How long was John "Baghdad Bob" McCain in the market in Baghdad with his bullet proof vest on and surrounded by American soldiers for protection and stating that everything was ok and that Baghdad/Iraq was secure? How long did he spend in the marketplace?

Obama has all the aplomb of Neville Chamberlain - or is it Pollyanna?

I'd like some truth in advertising, how about a clock showing the number of days that the Dummy in Chief has been hunting down Osama bin Laden. You know him, he's the guy who actually had something to do with the attacks on 9/11/2001 (that's nearly 7 YEARS now for those fox viewers in the audience!) rather than the people of Iraq who had absolutely NOTHING to do with 9/11. He's the guy Bush said 'dead or alive' then later said 'I don't really care where he is'

And below that, another clock showing how long its been since Bush and his corrupt administration let bin Laden escape in Tora Bora.

And below that another clock showing how long its been since Chimpy W. McCokespoon said we were going to rebuild New Orleans after Katrina and its still a wreck.

The war should have NEVER started from the beginning. Former Press Secretary McCllenan describes how Bush used the war to further his personal agenda. Obama has shown great leadership by respecting the views that most Americans share of the war. We should pull out immediately. We have not proven to be any safer since going to war.

Actually I'm starting to appreciate the trend of electing the most ignorent people we can find. Tends to make all the uneducated and un-worldly in this country feel comfortable. It feeds the 'professional wrestling mentality that sadly has become the norm. "Yea, my Blue guy says we're getting out no matter what the cost!" "Well my Red guy says we're staying in no matter what the cost!" When neither will do what they say. The Reps didn't fix SSI, the Dems didn't 'end' the war.

Foon Rhee, enjoy your echo chamber.

This is a pathetic distraction to avoid focus on the fact that the White House's own press secretary outed their propaganda machine and told us how the President deceived himself and the country into getting into a meaningless war.

Just where are those WMDs? There were supposed to be WMDs, right? That was the reason they sold us on the war, right? But then they had to keep inventing new things because they could never prove the allegations they made up.

Bush lied and thousands died. Then people like me became disgusted and turned on the party. Their plan to get us back? A stupid CLOCK. They can take that clock and shove it up their ass for all I care. I won't put up with this BS any longer, and I'm not alone. You guys are HOSED in November and you deserve to be because you don't even know what you're doing wrong and I'm not going to help you figure it out!

They should post the National Debt accumulator calculator on their site. Oh wait, it's all their fault.

Keith Olbermann has a clock too, the amount of days since "Mission Accomplished" that we have still been fighting in Iraq. That is a much more real and frightening clock than any Republican can make up for political manipulations.

Open your eyes and look at the quality of decisions the candidate makes not stupid gimmicks, and there is only one choice.

re: LM,
Two wrongs don't make a right. You can try to denigrate McCain's visits to Iraq all you want, but at least he bothered to show up. All the catch phrases in the world won't help hide Obama's true colors; all talk, no action

McCain > Hussein.

what about a clock showing the American tax payers the total daily cost, direct and indirect ,mcsane and his crazy bunch have cost .Lets not forget that MCsane was a desaster from the day he join the army.

It is a shame the RNC doesn't have a clock showing the increase to the Federal deficit brought on by their party. Oh wait, it would be racing so fast no one would be able to actually read it. Nevermind.......

McCain would have one of those blackwater merc's sitting on top of a roof with a sniper rifle waiting to pick Obama off. Face it, Bush took out the pentagon and the twin towers, so I don't think they will think twice about taking out Obama. What I don't understand is how the hell they got away with it. All the information is on the internet but only a small number of people have spoke up. I couldn't stop laughing when they said a jumbo jet hit the pentagon and a media guy is holding a camera right on a small hole in the wall and there's no plane. It was as if the whole plane broke into frosted flake size pieces and blew away in the wind. Our country is running on empty.

There is only one clock that matters, and it reads the number of troops and innocent people that have been killed in a war for oil and money.

What a pity !

Republican National Committee drive crazy ? I'm sure.

With the rhetoric from Barrack Hussein Obamas camp bashing Mccain but the candidate they put forward is very weak on(1)economic,(2)homeland security,(3)foreign policy,(4)leadership qualities,(5)honesty with the Reverent Wright issue and many more weaknesses that put him at odd with Mccains record and service to this country.Hellow! we don't need a blind man to lead us astray and make this nation look stupid and foolish in the eyes of the whole world.

Umm, interesting that Americans see some connection between Iraq and the recession. I sure don't. Why? Because none exist.
I also happen to understand that recessions are a part of the business cycle and will happen with or without war.

But then I choose to educate myself on economics and other important subjects instead of believing in fairy tales (like the President being responsible for the price of gas or believing that one person will fix all that's wrong forever and ever).

Now, why wouldn't a candidate for commander in chief at least talk to our generals

The left wing loons are out in full force today. Probably the same ones that didn't have a problem with billary dropping bombs during the impeachment hearings & thats what they call foreign policy.
Zero bama = change....................thats what you'll have in your pocket when he's done with you.

stupid policy creats havoc--during havoc over policy no. 1, stupid policies no. 2,3, 4...etc.etc. are put into play.
Why was U.S. Intelligence so faulty??/ This is a serious question going back to the last days of the Cold War. Excuse to continue massive outlays to Military/ Defense Industry?---at taxpayer's expense.
Profiteering war mongers have run up big national debt--(Taxpayer expense)
The whole episode is too obvious ---Profits to private contractors, transfer of tax monies to private pockets under guise of Patriotism?--even religion?

I love all the cute names that Dems have for Reps, too bad that's all thay have. Reread #33.

Why do the educated parts of this country (Austin, Iowa City, Athens GA, New York, San Francisco, Portland, Minn. St. Paul,) always trend toward Democrats, and the backwater parts toward Republicans? Why are the worst spellers (#33 "hellow") always red staters?

I'm just sayin'.

Question; Is McCain moving the white house to Iraq so that he can better administer the war?
Are we all about war?
What does our future economy hold?
How much do we still owe Saudi Arabia and even China?

I do not need a clock to tell me that right now an unappreciated soldier is in jeopardy of becoming another number in a country that does not want him there. How about a tally on the $$$$ that this folly has cost us. How about a counter of the number of tell-all-books that have been written about the blunders of our fearless leader and his loyal followers?
I see McCain is seeming more and more like this grumpy out of touch old guy that feels because he has been in Washington forever he deserves to be president.
The danger was never in Iraq and every day some new fact comes up that shows us that we were duped into being there. How's about a counter for that!
Obama will win because he is on the side of the good smart people.
An Idea.....If we are winning over there then let MCcain fly there first and announce it publicly that he is there to say hello to the Iraqi people. That would be interesting!

It's so easy to make blind decisions when one doesn't even bother to find out what is really going on. Now that the lack of research on the success (or failures) in Iraq has been exposed, finally Obama is willing to go back and see what is going on for himself instead of relying on Media Matters or MoveOn.org to inform him on the status of the war.
Remember, all of you who criticized Bush for his lack of millitary service and stated he had no experience to run a war because of that are about to repeat history when you all vote for Obama. He has no millitary history and it has now been proven that he has no knowledge of the progress of the surge. Yeah, he's the perfect guy to decide our fate in Iraq.

Since McCain and his supporters talk so much about Experience and how important it is to someone in public office here's a thought...How about the experience of being shorted four hours pay one week because of a typo at the pay office and still having to pay your bills that week. How's about the experience of having to fill your OWN gas tank and gawking instead of looking at the limo driver's face as he pays. How's about the experience of being married to an heiress and not having to worry about college, food, or rent because you haven't paid for any of those 'geesh as long as I can remember.' We American's like to believe that the wealthy politician really understands the nine to five average joe but in reality that life is only lived sparsely with the shaking of a few hands and kissing a few babies when you need those votes.
I like Obama because even though he is rich today he was poor yesteryear and he went through many of the struggles that I have to go through today. So he might not have pulled a wounded soldier off of the battlefield but he had to study his head off to get money for college because mommy's or daddy's or wifey's money would not have paid the tuition bill.
Go ahead and put another wealthy career politician in the Oval Office. Let's see what happens! Again...

Right on #33, we have had a blind man for the last 7 years. Did no one see what disaster awaited us with Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld on board? McCain is the same. No hope, no choice and fear 24/7. What is it about Republicans and their fearmongering? If there had been no restraint of the corporations, much of the US would be like Beijing. We have to fight again to get our country back. Time to clean up the air and water again. Clean coal and nuclear energy are not the answer. Renewable and non-impact energy is what we need!!!
