Be swift and Stay off the ropes. Dont go toe to toe. bob and weave then throw shot when you can. McCain is trying to throw Haymakers. Counterattack

I think Senator Obama should just be himself, relax and always state the issues. In addition, be factual. I live in the Bahamas and Bahama is for Obama.

I believe John McCain should promote positive changes in housing, energy, employment and military service.
Housing, - have lenders enact a plan similar to what countrywide was forced to due thru Attorney Generals, stop foreclosure on owner -occupied homes for six months and have lenders redo the loans, make lenders pay for new system for
solar , nuke , cng and drilling plan. Fund state and city programs for new jobs either community or housing rehab to provide more affrodable housing. Be strong and direct and not be afraid to anger both parties.

What a surprise. Mccain is using the republican slime machine to try to unnerve the country about his opponent. What an original thinker he is.

Déjà vu all over again.

Back when Mr. Clinton was campaigning for president in 1992, he made a pretty direct pitch: Raise taxes on people making more than $200,000, and use those revenues to fund tax relief for the "forgotten middle class."
In an October presidential debate, then-Gov. Clinton laid out the marginal-rate increase he wanted and some of his plans for the revenue that would be brought in.

He followed with a pledge:
"Now, I'll tell you this," he said. "I will not raise taxes on the middle class to pay for these programs. If the money does not come in there to pay for these programs, we will cut other government spending, or we will slow down the phase-in of the programs."

Mr. Clinton, of course, won that election. And as the inauguration approached, he began backtracking from his promise. At a Jan. 14, 1993, press conference in New Hampshire, he claimed that it was the media that had played up a middle-class tax cut, not him. A month later, he announced his actual plan before a joint session of Congress.

On page one of the New York Times, the paper described the fate of the middle-class tax cut this way: "Families earning as little as $20,000 a year -- members of the 'forgotten middle class' whose taxes he promised during his campaign to cut -- will also be asked to send more dollars to Washington under the President's plan."

For the first two years of his first term -- when Democrats controlled Congress -- Mr. Clinton was a different president. With Democrats in control of Washington, the middle-class tax cut vanished, a massive tax hike was approved, and the political debate centered around HillaryCare.

Then came 1994, the "Contract with America" -- and a reform-minded Republican Congress. Robert L. Bartley, the late editor of the WSJ, liked to note the bracing effect the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress had on the market -- and the Democratic president. After a few skirmishes, President Clinton would go on to embrace welfare reform, sign a cut in the capital gains tax, and even declare that "the era of Big Government is over."

Barring divine intervention, a President Obama would not have a Republican Congress to worry about. Instead, he would be working with a Democratic speaker of the House who loaded billions in pork onto a bill meant to fund our troops; with a Democratic Senate majority leader who promised to change the way Congress spent but fought earmark reform; and with committee leaders such as Sen. Chris Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank, who did so much to bring us the financial implosion of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Obama is going to be the next President. America has to be blind not to see what"s going on with the working class people...... and the huge difference betwen Rich and poor.
