Obama says he'll look out for taxpayers

I don't believe a word he says. His record proves he promises everything and does nothing. Obama's the consummate narcissist who is in it only for the glory, not the good of the people.
Obama, tell me who your friends are. Guilt by association? You betcha, when there are myriad connections. How many football players does it take to make a team? Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Dohrn, Pfleger, Odinga, Auchi, Khalidi, Emil Jones, Jr., ACORN, ACORN Housing and the Democratic Socialist Party: seems Obama's got a full team and probably a good number of backup players. And with people like Charles Gibson acting as cheerleaders! Whatever happened to journalistic integrity?

The reason for this crisis is because Democrats pushed Fanny and Freddy to lend to those that couldn't afford mortgages or aren't even citizens, The old ways of having a downpayment went away and was replaced with subprime lending and no collatoral for people the Democrats thought would vote for them. Working families, there is your repayment for hard work--job loss, loss of investments for retirement, and a poor economy thanks to the Democrats.

waa waa waa... waa waa..

That's all I hear... I have a question, why do we have to wait for the next president to fix the economy?

Here's an idea, why doesn't the government stop runnin.. um I mean, ruining the economy and focus on writing laws that protect our liberties and freedoms and protect us from thieves? No wait, they are the thieves and they are trying to socialize their failures...

Obama is going to save the world or so he says!

You need two things in America, a President & Obama.

"I don’t think we can afford that kind of erratic and uncertain leadership in these uncertain times," Obama added. "We need steady leadership in the White House. We need a President we can trust in times of crisis."

This is the exact reason why I am voting for McCain.

They should take the money that they are allowing on the bailout and give it to the tax paying Americans and let them pay off their morgtages. For once, use the trickle up method..

small people like mccain/palin talks about other people,
Big people like Obama/Biden talks about the IDEAS!!!
Go Obama!!
God help Us and Protect the innocent and send the aggressor to where it belongs!
Amen..

A President who we can TRUST???
Well then, let's tell the people of the United States the true story behind your relationships with Ayers, ACORN and Reverend Wright and that's just a start.
The guy talks well and is polished, but so is a snake oil salesman. I will vote for someone who isn't necessarily perfect (what politician is?), but at least is upfront about his mistakes.

VOTE McCAIN/PALIN 2008

Some five million fraudulent home mortgages are in the hands of illegal aliens, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

In America an illegal alien was arrested this year in Tucson, Arizona after allegedly using a stolen social security number to buy two homes and rack up over $780,000 in bad debt.

It's not known how many of those have contributed to the subprime housing mortgage meltdown, but it has affected every state.

The problem began years ago when banks were forced to give mortgages without confirming social security numbers or borrower identification. As a result, illegal immigrants were able to obtain home mortgages which they could not afford and then walked away from.

This is no longer isolated communities whose corrupt Politicians, Governors, Mayors and elected officials, who haven't sold America to the open-border Special interest lobby for campaign contributions.

The middle class already overburdened with war appropriation funds, is still force to pay for the education, free health-care and Federal, state welfare handouts for illegal criminals. SIGN UP FOR THE SAVE ACT(H.R.4088) enforcement 'ONLY' law at www.numbersusa.com.

When all is said and done the money crisis will sink McCain. A Democratic President with a Democratic House and Senate can still save the situation. The funny thing is the last time around I was a Bush supporter.

Obama will "look out" for taxpayers, all right....so look out Taxpayers! Obama feeds off the ignorance of the many American citizens who haven't a clue about what's going on. All they hear (as intended) are all the give away programs that Obama is promising to make their lives easier, courtesy of the U.S. Govt. Do you not understand that to fund all these giveaways, money has to come from somewhere? Simply taxing the wealthy won't do it. That's Un-American, anyway. And with the $700B "rescue" plan in place, it will take years before our economy starts to get back on track. So his promised programs that appeal to so many uninformed Americans will not materialize for many years. Obama does not have any solutions! Get smart folks!

There is a special place in hell for people who lie like Tucker Bounds.

I trust Obama? Sure. he has done so much over the years to gain my trust.

The truth of the matter is McCain and his campaign are astounded to face a black candidate who is not a typical " black man " by their definition of a black man. Barack Obama is an handsome, highly educated, non violent, very poised, very confident , very intelligent, with NO JAIL records, a great leader, who put the middle class in America first and not his personal interests, a leader who really loves this
country, and the list goes on... So since they know they can't find anything about Obama personality, the best they can do is to associate him with people like Ayers
But what they ignorantly forget is that that same Ayers has educated hundreds if not thousands of Americans today. He has directly impacted their lives in a better way.

After doing my own research, and listening to both canadites... It came down to weighing the 'pros and cons' for me. Simplest way to explain what I have come up with goes a little like this:

Pros = McCain / Palin
Cons = Obama / Biden

It is that simple!

yeah, let's elect Obama and be one step closer to Socialism. He and Biden say it's Patriotic to tax the rich and give it to the poor - "it's only fair" they say. so what incentive will entrepreneurs have to create more business. how many more jobs and businesses will move out of the U.S. This Robin Hood concept was used during the reign of Marx and Lenin. Who wants Democracy anyway....

He wants to spend more money on low income citiezens (increase expenses) and lower middle income class tax (decrease income). What is he going to do with the high income class? How is he going to balance the books?

Why don't all of you negative Republicans who still think Bush did a good job in office, and support McCain's old fashioned policies just admit that you are wrong. Suck up your pride and be more optimistic! Why don't you really put "Country First" by voting for the right person, Obama.

Amusing that the people on here opposing Obama are citing his 'radical connections' as their only reasons. Seriously guys, that's it? Republican propaganda? It's going to take a little more than that to get this economy and this country back on track.

Okay so lets talk about the Economy and keep Ayers out of it!!!
How did the economy get screwed up so bad with these mortgages? Democrats
Who tried to form committees to reform these policies set up by Clinton and the democrats? Republicans
Who voted down these committees? Democrats
Who has the record for raising taxes? Democrats
So if Obama claims he is going to actually help the people and not raise taxes, than why has he voted with democrats 97 percent of the time since he has been in the senate. Does not sound Bi-partisan to me. And if he did not support everything that was voted on while Clinton was president that supported all this bad mortagage practices in the first place, than why was he given over a hundred million dollars from the two men in charge of this fannie mae/ freddie mac blow up. I even read that the one guy is now an advisor for him.

I will be the first to admit that I came into this election more on the fence than I have ever been in my life because of some of the poor decisions made by Bush, but why on earth anyone would want somebody who has proven himself to be a horrible decision maker before ever making office is besides me.

For anyone that feels I have been mislead, please comment back but at least have the guts to put your name down unless you don't want people to know what you really believe in.

Vote McCain/Palin and watch the Corrupt Politicians start running for the Door!!

Obama says he'll look out for taxpayers

I would consider that to mean....look out for the over burdened taxpayer to catch on to Obama.

I watched all day on news showing McCain’s interview on Fox News about wanting Obama to come out with the truth about Ayers so the public can decide. Why isn’t anyone calling out McCain on his hypocrisy on TROOPERGATE? He asks that Obama come clean, yet he sends his lawyers to Alaska to coverup TROOPERGATE. Why doesn’t McCain let Palin testify about her TROOPERATE connection so the American Public can decide – the same standard he wants to apply to Obama.

I don’t want to hear this crap that TROOPERGATE is politically motivated and that the AYERS connection isn’t. American people are not stupid. One thing we can’t stand is a hypocrite.

I’m upset that the media televises McCain's hypocrisy when applying the standard of truth for Obama yet ignores his effort in covering up his VP involvement in TROOPERGATE. If judgment is what McCain is questioning about Obama, shouldn’t the American pubic question McCain’s judgment for picking a VP that may be using her powers for personal reasons? Especially after 8 years of Dick Chaney. After all, Palin's character could be a heart beat away from the Presidency if McCain is elected. If McCain wants the American pubic to decide what is true, than let Palin testify. She seems to have some CHARACTER flaws so she is the last person who should be pointing fingers

The media keeps dropping the ball. Everything McCain seems to criticize about Obama seems to apply in his own campaign. Please, Sir, show McCain for the Hypocrite he is.

Well, we all have a responsibility to either cling on Ayers foolery or work to fix our economy and our world image.

[Slider]

The fannie and freddie were an issue long before the democrats took leadership. Most all the corruptions began when Bush went into office, with a war on terroisim. The terrorism is on our soil led by the president of the country. We're not looking for Bin-ladin, weapons of mass destruction but after the Husain that Bush senior could not get to. Republicans are the face of corruption.

Tucker Bounds never tells it like it is. He sits on his perch and acts like the rest of the parrots. It's to bad when America needs leadership McCain has become the paper at the bottom of the cage. His Wife Cindy has reached a new low by stepping up to the mike and telling fibs. Fine first Lady she will become, not!

Obama like Hoover will send us into a depression. We are not 57 states. Go back to the drugs.

How is it that so many people can agree with a man who promises the world but can't or won't tell us how he will deliver on his promises. Every politician promises he will watch out for us and we sink deeper and deeper into this mess with more and more taxes for less and less return in my opinion. I would like a third candidate that was viable but I'm not going to get that wish. Given that I'm going to look at past history of these two candidates and I'm going to reject Obama based on his votes and the fact that after the time he has been in office he hasn't authored a single bill. He jumps on others bills. The times he has attempted to cross the aisle as they say he has backed out at the vote. Those don't count in my assessment. Elect this man and you will see your taxes rise. He only has a tax and spend record.

Rick F

This is the reason that I don't vote for McCaine, he is erratic, he doesn't know how to run a political campaign , he say that the economy is strong and 2 hour later says that we are in crisis. What kind of leadership can he offer? He still is trying to understand what going on. He doesn't get it. His only lei motiv is WAR WAR AND WAR.

I am sure a lot of us had a friend or two who our parent or parents didnot want as our friend. Sometimes in this journey call life we rub shoulders with a person or two of "questionable" character. I attend a church whose pastor i donot somtimes agree with his teachings (he who is without sin cast the first stone). But i will not stop going to church. Obama rub shoulders with questionable people, Mccain was considered a playboy, Bil Clinton..............we all know, Bush Jr smoked reefer..... we can go on and on and on listen to what each has to say and judge from thank God we can choose...

I can't vote for John McCain .No way. With Sarah Palin who can't even sit down and have any real interview with the medias . ? Talking about Joe six pack ? Does she need to be assisted by John McCain before answering any question ? That's just ridiculous.
Obama is the real guy and he talks about the real issues that the Country is facing right now.

Obama's past speaks for itself... ignoramouses will continue to smear it by talking about associations over 30 years with so called radicals and how he supposedly forced banks to give millions of sub prime mortgages to people who can't pay them. It ludicrous. You people are so blind to the truth.

And for those who don't think we're already in a recession. DO SOME READING!!!!!! wow.... sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by morons. And when I choose I to read these posts, it just confirms that feeling.

Typical Rebublican scare tactics. Run the Government by fear. Say something negative and hope it sticks.
Simple question. Are you better off today than you were 8 years ago??
The Republicans have slowly ruined this country and look out for themselves.
The Republican mantra: The rich get richer and laugh all the way to the bank.
You want Sarah Palin to run this Country if McCain drops dead. I think not!!!!!!!

Wake up Republicans.

Monique - Obama talks about "real issues" but he doesn't offer any real or realistic solutions. He is a very idealistic man which is something that we should respect and admire. Unfortunately, the world isn't make-believe and doesn't bend to the will or want of an individual - I would rather have a president in office who is a realist and has the werewithal to get things accomplished and will help our country recover from the mess we're in - not pretty it up with a facade as it falls apart at the seams (more than it already is). Obama's views and views of the Democrats in general lead to a good deal of the issues our country has - a lack of personal responsibility. We can attack the lending companies all we want - but if you, as an individual, haven't done your homework and figured out what you can and cannot afford, you need to held culpable for when you get in over your head. The market is crashing because we are a nation of lazy, irresponsible, and uninformed individuals.

The real problem here lies with CONGRESS!! There must be term limits for Senators and Reps. We can NOT have them running for 20, 30, 40 years. Congress put into law when FDR had won 4 terms in office, that a president can ONLY serve 2 terms. They felt that the presedent would become to powerful. It is Congress who really holds the power in goverment. I don't care if you are a Democrat or Republican, if you vote for McCain or Obama, Congress rules the Goverment!!!!

Hmmm...if you want to talk about Obama and his "connections" (quoted only because he served on a board together...not like Obama was involved with any of what Ayers did previously), why don't we talk about the McCain/Keating (you know, the Keating 5) connection. McCain actually used his power in office to try to intervene on a FEDERAL investigation of Keating. Now there is a much stronger and dirtier (politics as usual) relationship!!! So I think this Ayers talk should stop because the opposition has much nastier skeletons in their closet!

Oh, and a little correction to a posting above:
Okay so lets talk about the Economy and keep Ayers out of it!!!
How did the economy get screwed up so bad with these mortgages? Democrats
Who tried to form committees to reform these policies set up by Clinton and the democrats? Republicans Who voted down these committees? Democrats Who has the record for raising taxes? Democrats

This is the one time I will give McCain props...he did sound the alarm regarding Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, but his bill for reform never made it to the floor of a REPUBLICAN controlled congress....Hence the Republicans did not think this was an issue worth taking up

Monique,

It's nice you want to vote for someone who understands the the real issues this country faces, but don't you want someone willing to articulate their plan's details? Durring the debate Tuesday, Obama said he will take a scaple to the budget and trim the waste. In 90 minutes he did not mention a singe program he would trim. I hear what he beleives but HOW is he going to change it? I think he is affraid to tell us.

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

*One clear sign that he will and Republican rival John McCain won't is McCain's new proposal to help beleaguered homeowners, which Obama said would reward "irresponsible lenders."*

WOW, I guess we know where Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor, sits on this election, or perhaps Foon needed a little editing. McCain's plan may or may not work, but at least it is a plan. Obama's platform is the equivalent of a pep rally. Not to discount the value of positive thinking. The only thing greater than the idiocy of the media in this country is the idiocy of the electorate.

The on

McCain talks about cutting back on spending but what he doesn't tell you is that he was responsible for the destruction of 5 planes in the military before he was taken prisoner in Vietnam. Talk about big spending.

Vote Ron Paul. '08.

Liar, Liar - nice choice of username - it describes what you're doing perfectly!

I have been a friend of John McCains for a long time and admit I even asked him to run one day at a DC Airport while we waited for a plane. Now I am 180 degrees against his entire team and John's approach to the economy. We are far better off with the Democrats than the disarray of my conservative friends. It is beyond the pale for John to promise we will buy all the bad mortgage debt. The truth has been sold to Karl Rove and replaced with lies I never imagined my party capable of. Yes, I have switched my vote to Obama, the lesser of two evils. God save us from John McCain's early stage Alzhiemers and Sarah Palin's selfish God mission.

To Brittanicus

Check your facts before you start blaming immigrants.

"The reason for this crisis is because Democrats pushed Fanny and Freddy to lend to those that couldn't afford mortgages or aren't even citizens, The old ways of having a downpayment went away and was replaced with subprime lending and no collatoral for people the Democrats thought would vote for them. Working families, there is your repayment for hard work--job loss, loss of investments for retirement, and a poor economy thanks to the Democrats."

This is completely incorrect, wrong and show zero reseach on what happened. Fannie and Freddie didd not offer these programs, These programs were offered by supbrime companys like Option One, Nationstar, Arvent, Indymac, and many others. They were not Fannie and Freddie backed or even underwritten through Desktop Underwirter or Loan Processor. Fannie nor Freddie NEVER had a 100% program, and rarely approved a borrower with below a 640 FICO - ESPECIALLY ON A PURCHASE! The reason for these foreclosures stems mostly from refinances anyway (so how was exactly that the dems wanting people to own houses cause this?). Only 15% are made up of purchases within 2 years. The problem is a direct effect of deregulation, letting these banks and lenders run rampid and idiotic programs in the first place.

So before you start spewing your losing effort hatred, try to know a little bit about what your actually talking about. Jack a**. Typical regurgitation of a following clueless neocon, without any independent thought. Makes you wonder why the college educated are all democrats.

Seriously Slider....whats with you republicans and links to Top Gun? McCain self-implied nickname "Maverick", you "Slider". Come on, the movie is 22 years old. Stop thinking like you're still in the 1980's!

Most of blog writers are RADICAL RIGHT AND RADICAL LEFT.Left are more intelligent than the right.Any one who has read Obama books will know how he thinks and he is excellent problem solver that is what a President should be.
MaCain is Maverick Which means he shoots from the hip. Recent various episodes have shown --he fires first and then thinks. He was not able to do much harm as a Senator but for Presidency we need stable and calm person . Lack of knowledge of V.P (Viagra girl)is unforgivable. We have a president who does not read . getting other one with same characteristics will be disaster
Some foolish talk about TAXES. Devaluation of dollar is taxation. ONE CAN EASILY PRINT MONEY ...that way you get tax deductions and war without sacrifice. Who is deceiving. If you make up your mind you cannot think as some of you have Some are reciting talking points . This does not show they are wise but are immature

Clinton Years Higher Taxes more Prosperity
Bush Years Lower Taxes Economic melt down.
Republicans are two for two.
1921-1929 Republican presidents prior to stock market crash.
2000-2008 Republican President prior to Meltdown
Keep ignoring the middle class and the working poor.

middle class whiner

Pretty obvious that the new mode of attack for the next few weeks will be these hired Republican bloggers spewing nonsense, total nonsense without any constructive ideas. Just ignore these blogs and vote for the right choice which is self evident.

Obama will watch out for tax payers alright; specifically their wallets.

What knowledge does Obama have of holding the reigns on irresponsible lenders? Didn't he sue Citibank in 1994 to force it to make bad loans?

Everyone keeps SHOUTING Obama has not plans only empty words. They say in the debate he didn't touch on a single plan. If you take the time to go to his webiste and read his plans then you would stop this empty rhetoric. By the way, where is McCain's big plans? And which one will he stick to? He changes his mind quicker than a cat can lick its a$$. He is erratic, very erratic. He can gamble on himself and liver with the consequences but I won't be a party to him making me live with the consequences. So far, we sunk lower than ever. I'am willing to step out on faith and give the new guy a chance.

McSame & McFailin, how on earth did we get these two duds as an option??

"My fellow prisoners" said McCain to the citizens of Bethlehem, PA. yesterday.

Today's Vets are voting OBAMA!

Economic crisis?

I vote "present"

Iran wants to attack Israel?

I vote "present"

ACORN and Voter fraud?

I vote "present"

I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

LOL... he'll watch out for the taxpayers when his whole career was based on spending taxpayer money for needless projects. The multi-million dollars education reform that he nandled financially lead to an absolute waste of money w/out any results but... again, waste of money.

I guess nowadays, w/the the lack of knowledge in the american gov't... it's easier to fool the people to speak one way and act another... and people will believe you. doesn't know one thing about economics, doesn't know about healthcare, doesn't know anything about national security, nothing on foreign affairs... non-existent accomplishments, yet ... somehow, people are still drooling at his presence "he's amazing, he's great and he knows what's best". Okay... right... :-D His chicago friends are laughing at us right now... and they should, we're just either so stupid.

Pathetic election year...
