Obama lengthens national lead, polls say

It would appear that not everyone has "turned the page" on the economic crisis.

AND OBAMA SAID:

Yet instead of addressing these crises, Senator McCain's campaign has announced that they plan to turn the page on the discussion about our economy and spend the final weeks of this campaign launching Swiftboat-style attacks on me.

Think about that for a second. Turn the page on the economy? We're facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and John McCain wants us to "turn the page?" Well, I know the policies he's supported these past eight years and wants to continue are pretty hard to defend. I can understand why Senator McCain would want to "turn the page" and ignore this economy.

But I also know this:

You're trying to pay your bills every week and stay above the water – you can't ignore it.

You're worrying about whether your job will be there a month from now – you can't ignore it.

You're worrying about whether you can pay your mortgage and stay in your house – you can't turn the page.

In 30 days you are going to elect the next president, and you need and deserve a president who is going to wake up every day and fight for you, and fight for the middle class, and fight to create jobs and grow our economy again -- not another president who doesn't get it. Not another President who ignores our problems. Not more of the same.

Senator McCain and his operatives are gambling that he can distract you with smears rather than talk to you about substance. They'd rather try to tear our campaign down than lift this country up. It's what you do when you're out of touch, out of ideas, and running out of time.

I want you to know that I'm going to keep on talking about the issues that matter – about the economy and health care and education and energy. I'm going to keep on standing up for hard working families. We're not going to let John McCain distract us from what we need to do to move this country forward.

Because November 4th, you and I are going to turn the page on the disastrous economic policies of George W. Bush and John McCain.

Bye bye McCain. Am not sure if you and your trophy-candidate can smear and swiftboat your way back into the race. We have already been through-and debunked- the Ayres/Wright "controversy", long, long ago.

I am tired of Bush and McCain and Reagonomics! Enough! I am also tired of class warfare. Go Obama

John McCain is running out of time and he knows it. This is why he is spreading all these smear tactics and lies about Barack Obama. Come on now John this is a presidental election year and you are worried about how you can win. Even if it means that you have to cheat the American people to do it. I for one have had enough of the statis quo. Eight years of George W. Bush has all but destroyed this wonderful country, and I for one do not want you for my president. 1. You are too old and out of touch with everything we as a nation are facing. 2. The next President will have to be able to focus on real issues even under extreme pressure. 3. You will be just another George W. Bush! I say NO THANK YOU!!

On November 4th/ 2008 I am voting for Barack Obama for the President of the United States of America.

John McCain and his trophy pitbul with lipstick were on TV this morning, they are mean, vicious, and slander-throwing lowlifes. John McCain cannot hold a candle to Senator Obama since Obama is 100 times the genuine leader that McCain could ever hope to be. McCain is a bitter, ugly old man who suffers from a huge inferiority complex---he never met his dad's and grandpa's expectations in the U.S. Navy. McCain gave himself the name "maverick" because he was a rebellous, selfish kid, just like Bristol's baby's dad calls himself a "f***ing redeneck"!

Angry John McCain is getting angrier

Instead acting like stateswoman, Palin behaves like an old next door lady crying and yelling the neighbor, just unbelievable.. If she could be a president, all of us can. Just for such deadly decision fo choosing such VP, Mccain shows his fatal off line judgment.. so bound to lose. Romie and Hagabee etc are at least the serious one.

If BS were money, Sarah Palin could bail out Wall Street all by herself!

You idiots are so gullible. You are falling for his message of hope and change. You think you know everything about his relationship with Ayers or even Wright. I would put money on it that you don't. You probably got all of your info from the Globe or MSNBC. Try to find some info on your own, from non-partisan web sites, you'll be digusted when you find out the truth. Instead most of you would rather criticize the messenger because you don't want to believe that your messiah is actually the devil in disguise.

I've never seen so much hate coming from self proclaimed tolerant people.

DOES GOD NEED TO LOBBY OUR US CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD ON BEHALF OF OUR POORER AMERICAN’S,SENATOR OBAMA,OR ARE YOU WATCHING OUT FOR THEM ??

SENATOR OBAMA, ANOTHER POSSSIBLE innocent black american ALSO NEEDS YOUR VOICE FOR JUSTICE ??

**SURELY OUR US CONGRESS & US SUPREME COURT BOTH KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STATE MURDER IN GEORGIA & A POSSIBLE EXECUTION IN GEORGIA THIS WEEK ?

OUR US CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD CONTINUE TO DENY MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING POOR AMERICANS PROPER LEGAL REPRESENTATION EVEN THOUGH WRONGFUL EXECUTIONS & FALSE INCARCERATIONS CONTINUE ALL ACROSS AMERICA ???

*** 700 BILLION $$$ AVAILABLE FOR US BAILOUT, & NO $$$ FOR ALL POORER AMERICANS PROPER LEGAL REPRESENTATION ???????

WHERE ARE AMERICA ‘S RELIGIOUS LEADERS ??
SENATOR OBAMA, THIS JUDICIAL INJUSTICE HAS BECOME AN AMERICAN ART FORM, AND NO LONGER CAN BE KEPT HIDDEN OR SECRET FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EVEN IF CERTAIN (501c3) U$ RELIGIOU$ LEADER$ HAVE BEEN $ILENCED ??

LETS ALL HOPE OUR MEDIA FRIENDS CONTINUE TO SHOW AN INTEREST IN REPORTING ON THIS AMERICAN HORROR FACING THESE (TENS OF THOUSANDS) FORGOTTEN AND TRAPPED POORER AMERICANS, AND HOW THIS PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER HANDLES THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE FACING AMERICA’S LATINO AND BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ????

WITH 80% OF THE BLACK AMERICAN VOTERS SAYING THEY SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT IS ONLY FAIR FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW PRIOR BEING ELECTED OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HOW THIS DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TRULY FEELS ABOUT THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL INJUSTICE CONTINUING TO INFLICT GRAVE HARM ON THE BLACK & LATINO AMERICAN FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE ??????

*** WHEN GOD’S FACE BECAME VERY RED ***
THE US SUPREME COURT GAVE ENEMY COMBATANTS FEDERAL APPEAL HC RIGHTS LAWYERS AND PROPER ACCESS TO US FEDERAL COURTS,AND POORER AMERICANS (MANY EVEN ON DEATH ROW) ARE DENIED PROPER FEDERAL APPEAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO OUR US FEDERAL COURTS OF APPEAL, AND ROTTING IN AMERICAN PRISONS NATIONWIDE ?????????

**** INNOCENT AMERICANS ARE DENIED REAL HC RIGHTS WITH THEIR FEDERAL APPEALS !
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE $LOWLY FINDING OUT HOW EA$Y IT I$ FOR MIDDLE CLA$$ AND WORKING POOR AMERICAN$ TO FALL VICTIM TO OUR U$ MONETARY JUDICIAL $Y$TEM.

****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY ****
The prison experts have reported that there are 100,000 innocent Americans currently being falsely imprisoned along with the 2,300,000 total US prison population nationwide.

Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials.

This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals.

This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!!

Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus with our US FEDERAL COURTS and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice!

For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system.

It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.

This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World!
***GREAT SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT PROTECT EVEN THEIR INNOCENT, BECOME THE GUILTY!

Anyone who is voting for Obama is choosing 8 more years of the same, no that's not a typo.
More war - forfit Iraq and go to war with Pakistan
More taxes (not just income) 28%capital gains 39.6% dividend, and while there is a decrease planned, there is also the plan to take away Bush's tax reduction, so overall you will be paying more for income tax as well.
More economic problem tax more - small business failures will be very high, people making more - no money to invest in stock market. Think this fallout is bad hang on.
McCain tried to get legislation passed for more control of financial institutions, Obama voted that down. Obma choose to ignore the financial bailout concern, McCain went back to be a sneotor, if bush did not reuqest Obama would he have even bothered?
The failure is not just the US, its the whole world, countries around the world are now trying to decide on their own bailouts or lack there of. Obama does not understand this. This is not a republican issue
Healthcare - another issue - it is out of control Hospitals are making billions, Dr's making millions, drug companies are making Billions, McCain has tried to do something about this not just throw more money at these people like Obama. It is out of control it needs to be contorlled then we can work at getting coverage for more people because it would not cost $10's for a single aspirin. Obama the country is out of money - people are hurting, are you lost?
Look at the real problem look at the cause - you don't want more of the same, then don't go with Obama

I actually liked John McCain - at one time. However, he has definitely put his political aspirations ahead of his country with the outrageous lies, innuendos, and behavior that is unbecoming of a statesman. And Sarah Palin just a total embarassment.

Now I get angrier and angrier whenever I hear McCain/Palin attacking and insunuating that if we don't support their ticket we are UnAmerican (and my son served two tours in Afghanistan - how dare you McCain/Palin!!!

"The NBC survey found that voters gave Obama higher marks for his response to the financial crisis -- 34 percent said they felt more reassured by his actions,"

ACTIONS???? WHAT ACTIONS???? 34% of those polled are MORONS!!!!!

Obama's response was, and I quote, "call me if you need me". Well, guess what?! No one called him because NO ONE NEEDED him!!!!

What a lame excuse for a leader!

If he was in the military he'd be washed out in minutes for lack of judgment, lack of action, lack of character and lack of skills.

silly liberals, obama has no chance of winning this election stop spinning everything so it looks like he is winning. thank god it will make more americans turn out to vote for mccain not some naive communist. please stop whining its getting tiresome. someday you will grow up and get a real job. i hear they have good ones in europe you should go there and cry with one another

I am soooo happy the pendulum is swinging toward progressive and liberal values. I've waited 8 loooong years. It's been sheer torture with "W" as president. John McCain, I respected you, until you brought Palin into the campaign and began running nasty. Go back to the Senate and send your VP pick back to Alaska. You can't dodge the pendulum boot you're about to get.

While I suppose it was predictable, I'm deeply saddened by the turn the McCain campaign has taken. For a man who was so unfairly subjected to a primary campaign that defeated him using a racially-oriented subtext within a smear campaign, I would think that he, of all people, would rise above his own current behavior. With so many real issues to discuss, this is no time to swim in the opaque mud of slander.

Scary to think that Sarah could be the person to lead us from this Depression:
Todd Palin is Sarah’s husband. The director of Division of Elections in Alaska reported that Todd Palin registered in October 1995 to join the Alaska Independence Party, a radical group that advocates for Alaskan secession from the United States. He remained a member of the Party for seven years until 2002. You tube has video in which Sarah addressed the secession party convention and told them to keep up the good work!
Currently, Sarah is being investigated for trooper gate as well circumventing State system in hiding her government dealings in private e-mails as well as private phone lines. It is for this reason that she spent more days at her house rather than the Governor’s Mansion. Although paid by the tax payers $ 17,000 as her per diem allowance never reported the amount to the IRS. Sarah is very good at repeating talking lines or reading scripts prepared for her. Her strength is that she is very dramatic in making presentations. However, beneath the surface she is empty. She has never had ability to think independently or answer any question intelligently. This is the reason why Todd spends most of his week-off time in Sarah’s office.
Let’s assume that McCain gets elected and God forbids that he dies during his first or second year in office. Who will we have to look up to lead us from this economic depression? It is scary to think that could the Maverick Sarah Barracuda, under the guidance of the former radical party member Todd Palin. Through thick and thin I patiently supported Senator McCain in both his 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns. However, at the end of the final session of interviews of Sarah by Katie Couric, it was very obvious that the McCain/Palin ticket was no longer suitable for me. In my lifetime, she is the worst VP candidate ever to be nominated by a major party. The needs of this nation where not fully taken into account when Sarah was picked. She is too illiterate to occupy any national leadership position in this mighty nation. May God Bless America.

Macainiac and Palinsane are out. The will of the people has finally overcome the Neoconservative elite.

Seems the Straight Talk Express has turned into the Trash Talk Limited!

Dear Blogger,

I just wonder why my post fails to show for a few of hours?

John

John McCain stated that for the sake of the economy, he suspended his campaign and intended to cancel the first debate. The implication is that he would rather lose the presidential race in order to save the country from the financial crisis. The US is still in financial crisis, but there is hardly a mention of this in his campaign now. I would like to think that senator McCain is a man of high principle, but I am having problem with his judgment of appointing his campaign staff, particularly with his choice of a running mate. Perhaps the latter was also advise from his campaign staff?

Can it be that the American people have finally had enough of smear tactics and character assassination and realize the issues are too important to be distracted with the same old tactics of the past two presidential elections? Dare we hope?

This all reminds me of a long football game. Hard hits, first downs, sacks, fumbles and a ton of flags being thrown. (Offsides, unsportsman-like conduct, and a time-out has been called) We are in fourth quarter now. There are some fans already going home. The defensive is now blitzing on every play, while the offense has been moving down the field since the beginning of the game. (I'll be expecting on-sides kicks, trick-plays, and the laterals on the last play of the game)

John McCain, the victim of George Bush's smear politics in the 2000 South Carolina primary, should be ashamed to resort to the same tactics in 2008. I think this country is fed up with that right-wing brand of politics. Look what it has brought us. I have nothing but contempt for him and his lip-stick wearing pitbull.

i'm happy to read the comments that so many people is fed-up with mccain/palin behavior lately. we dont need this nonsense, when we are strugging to put ,food on the table for our family, in need for jobs,no health insurance, high gas prices,and can't send our children to college . and on the brink of loosing our homes.yet all mccain/palin can think about is themselves.palin lied when she said that senator doesn't see american the way she does and the people she was talking to in florida.yes senator obama loves this country. if senator is guilt by assocation , what about her she sleeps whith a seccssionist every night, her husband.maybe she can explain the radical group her husband once belonged to.

Obama has the dream,the dream of Americans.A dream that change must be effected to help the derailing American economic status.He is young and fresh for the need-let us give him applause!!!.Obama the President of the United States of America is just waiting swearing in ,lets give him support. Mc Cain should be busy doing exercises to fight old age not convincing people to lead them to failure and suffering.Lets buy him sleep pills that he go to rest as old men do.What was he doing at the ripe age of Obama?

I am tired of NOBAMA and his corrupt groups Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac/B. Frank.
The terrorist Bill Ayers BOMBED the Pentagon and Keating cheated money.
The Freedie Mac & Fannie Mae with Communist Barney Frank destroyed the US economy through out the world still the Communist Democrats see nothing wrong.

Not only that the Communist Democrat recruited the Islamists with million donations at many Mosqes still the Communist Democrat stay mum.

VIVA President McCain
VIVA President Palin

NEWS FLASH TO JOHN McCAIN: It's the ECONOMY stupid! The ECONOMY!
Yes, Grandpa John now appears to be getting more desperate and more senile every day as the election draws near. Once its over however, I suspect we WILL continue to see him on TV; he will be doing television commercials for DEPENDS

Sara Palin has not added any value to the Republicans campaign. Her unwarranted attacks on Obama are only serving one purpose.... showing their camp is in panick.... Go Obama

All these voters who are turning to Obama as their savior are really in denial. Nancy Jean Langford #5, states " The next President will be able to focus on real issues under extreme pressure." Have you noticed that Obama has grown a lot more gray hairs, and his 47 yr old face is beginning to show signs of needing some botox? I am not a supporter of McCain, but I would rather say that he has already demonstrated by being a POW for 5 yrs. that he would be the one to focus on real issues under extreme pressure.

These Polls are wrong then people wonder why the world it is so screwed up Cause of Immature people that would vote for NO EXPEREINCE over Experience what a bunch of JACK A**ES And we will know how to blame If Obama wins And he has absolutley no experience if we have another 9/11 and If Obama gets in That is more likley to happen at least Mccain has the Experience

I think it's disturbing John "I wish I was a real Maverick" McCain that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe that Senator Obama would do a much better job as president in leading this country back through the economic crisis as well as restoring our image with the rest of the world. This fear that his campaign is sliding down a slippery slope with no ropes has made him start screaming about character, associations, and all that drivel. It only reminds us that it was John McCain who was directly associated with Charles Keating in the Keating Five Savings & Loan fiasco that cost taxpayers $28 million bucks. The only reason McCain got off was that his family has connections and of course he was a decorated POW. And they couldn't very well put five congressmen in jail because it would look so bad for America.
John McCain wrote the book on bad character and questionable morals and now he's lecturing us on how bad Obama is?

Thank you McCain for supporting the top 10 ceo's who took millions because
you support individuals who take the people money. Thank you McCain for
allowing cooperate greed. Thank you McCain for supporting Bush politics.
Thank you McCain for being friends with lobby friends. Thank you McCain for
lying to people. Thank you McCain for being an elites. Thank you McCain for
you backward decisions about the war. Thank you McCain for picking a no
experienced/no skills/no knowledge VP who ideas on abortion came out of a
mad dream

I am looking at CNN right now ,is they campaigning for John McCain?, really folks look at how they are portraying and describing him when shown on the show. When he come on ;he is right and accurate, but when showing Obama and speaking out about his campaign he is alleging and attempting something. I know John McCain need help but come on. The clip about John McCain audience is upset that he is not taking it to Obama, really how much did they pay that brother to say it vital that he take it to Obama hm? John McCain is sneaky and I don't trust him.

"I can't wait to introduce her to Washington!" So gleefully crooned the silver-haired Happy Warrior, a few times more than he probably realized that he had.
Well, no need to introduce her now; with her ethics probe and abuse of power credentials, hers is as familiar a resume in that burb as anyone’s. One more power-corrupted minion slithering into our national Babylon is sadly old hat and old news. It's nothing to crow about even if it bears a comically macabre resemblance to Mr. Magoo participating in Take Your Daughter To Work Day forty years after the fact.

WOW! CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!!!!!

I'm tired of stupidity in politics. The welfare of our country is far too important to keep talking about make-believe things. We need to focus on our economy, a war already donned "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" but we're still there, and a war we SHOULD be fighting in Afganistan...finding Bin Laden, stopping poverty and corporate corruption...well that's a start. Let's stop talking about a plumber that's not even really named Joe. I'm not being jerk...there's already enough of them running our government right now. I'M TIRED OF STUPIDITY! Please, I just want someone who is educated and well-behaved as my president. Is that too much to ask?

president. Is that asking too much? I'm sorry, but I expect that at least.
