A Formidable Opponent

Filed under: Barack Obama > John McCain

That John McCain sure has been making a lot of smart, strategic moves this week!

The Republican presidential hopeful has just released a video congratulating Barack Obama on securing the nomination from the Democratic party. And, McCain also uses the opportunity to remember Martin Luther King, Jr. historic "I Have A Dream" speech and reflect on that occasion, which happened 45 years ago yesterday.

This is gonna be one interesting race!

    Comparing him to MLK? Let's hope Obama doesn't lose his life in such a tragic way, as MLK did. And if God forbid he becomes president, I wonder HOW MUCH MORE security will be put into place because of his race. It'd be interesting to find out all the specifics on that issue. Surely the threats would be incessant, unfortunately.

    I hope my first comment doesn't make anyone think I support Obama. Even though I don't want him to be harmed for chasing a dream, it doesn't mean I wanna see him get elected either. He's still a creepy, manufactured, phony, and shady character, in my opinion.
    ***Team McCain***

    I think he sounds completely insincere.

    DEEP DOWN INSIDE I'M SURE HE'S WISHING HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PICKED TO RUN UP AGAINST OBAMA! PAT BUCHANAN (a republican) EVEN SAID "for those vp potentials who didn’t get picked by John MccAIN they better thank their lucky stars he didn’t pick them"! LMAO

    Re: Andy27 – Let's hope he doesn't take a bullet, then we get Pres Joe Mama Biden!

    So this is what the Devil looks like!!! He can play nice all he won't. It won't erase the weeks of negative add campaigns he put out there just because he can't compete with his opponent on a mature and intelligent level. NO MCCAIN!!!

  11. 11

    oh yeah i saw this last night on cspan…

    he is doing what he always does: watching barack and mimicking his moves while also trashing them.

  12. 12

    "I HAVE A DREAM" THAT MCCAIN WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!

  13. 13

    Oh Come On McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. 14

    Re: Andy27 – Well Andy frankly you sound like a ass that is hoping that Obama is harmed. I'm sure you wrote that first comment with a big smile on your face. Well keep dreaming and dont' worry about Obama being harmed. I think you should be more concerned with your candidate having a heart attack after hitting a pot hole on his roller rooter.

    I am sure no one is wishing anyone death I think he has a point there is alot of hatred in this country and it is a true concern that something can happend to Obama, I pray that is not the case cause he is a good man and has a beautiful family, but he will need that added protection, I have been around when Clinton was pres and he went to one of my jobs and the secret service worked like crazy 2 weeks ahead to protect him and I am sure it will be that much worse in protecting Obama. I think Mccain is in better health then a lot of us, he is 72 but, he looks good for his age, this man has gone thru alot!!!

  29. 29

    Well, it's official…he chose the naughty librarian….damn….

  30. 30

    Wow. McCAin is a very polite man. Way to go.

    Re: Andy27 – You can't say stuff like that. I usually love your assholeness, but this comment is different. You aren't even trying to be an asshole and you really sound like you are wishing harm upon a man because you think he looks creepy. I hope no one ever thinks you look creepy

  32. 32

    By your own admission you say John McCain makes "a lot of smart, strategic moves".
    Why wouldn't you want to have such a guy as president???
    Obama is smoke and mirrors - Clinton in his best years could not get any education reform off the ground let alone paid for - but Obama "hopes" while Bush delivered No Child Left Behind - sure people complained - but who actually delivered change for the better re: education - Dems or GOP. That's right, for all the bitching and moaning, our education system is better off with No Child Left Behind than with the big goose egg that the Democrats delivered.

    minx,
    I think that was a very smart move; she is going to pick up a lot of the women’s votes .I don’t know a lot about her except she’s only been governor for a couple of years. I will be listening to her this afternoon I do believe she is making a speech.

    Re: theone24

    Negative campaigns? Everything his team has pointed out has been factual. If the facts are negative, that's Obama's own damned fault. Obama has been nothing short of an arrogant asshole towards McCain, which is a pretty good preview of what America would get if he were elected. Oh, sure, he read his script and ACTED nice for the DNC last night. Beyond that, OBAMA is too similar to BSH for my tastes. They are both egomaniacs.

  43. 43

    Re: Andy27 – Andy27, you support and follow some of the worst people. If you think Obama is anything like you just said he is then you're blind.

    McCain's ad is definitely insincere, and his new running mate was only selected due to the fact she is female. We all know how McCain feels about females.

    Republicans have to play dirty so they can stay in office and fuck things up as usual.

  44. 44

    Re: CrankThis

    I don't really agree with you about No Child Left Behind, BUT I do agree 100% with your comment about Obama being little more than smoke and mirrors.

    Re: OBAMA 08 – Please don’t lump me in there with them .I don’t care what color you are I want to know where you stand. people like Harry are an embarrassment to the human race

    Skittles, stop stirring the pot :)
    I'm skittish about Palin but i'll wait til the convention to hear what she has to say. If McCain has a heart attack, Hillary will take out Palin plain and simple :)
    j/k

    Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, issued an apology for his use of the phrase "TAR BABY" in response to a question he received at his mid-day town hall meeting in Cedar Falls, Iowa on Friday.
    -
    -
    A questioner asked McCain whether as president he "would be bold enough to address the issue of equal access to children for fathers that have gone through divorce."
    -
    -
    McCain responded, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. If I as President of the United States said this decision has to be overturned without appeals process then I would disturb our system of government… For me to say I'm going declare divorces invalid because someone feels that they weren't treated fairly, we are getting into a, uh, uh, TAR BABY of enormous proportions.
    -
    YEAH, John McBush is er, um, not racist . . ..

    Re: SKITTLES – That's Mr. balsac to you BITCH!

    Apparently, John McCain feel that a "TAR BABY" (how OLD is that
    racial slang for a black infant ???) or, in his mind, a black baby is a horrendous, awful thing.

    Real nice.

    Team McCain/Palin all the way to Washington!! Woo Hoo
