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
haha he's trying too kill him with kindness…aww? sounds like an asshole thing I would do…
ugh this is supposed to be an ENTERTAINMENT blog not a political blog. enough already.
*crys*
I hate his voice! lol
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!!!
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.
"I HAVE A DREAM" THAT MCCAIN WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!
Oh Come On McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Good for Mccain he is not that bad!!!
eww.
Thanks McCain! ….Obama 08!
ew. is he like ..ew
O DIS SHIT FUCKIN SICK
oh..truzt me…mccain got game…
lotz of it…
just wait and see….
hi andy
Re: theone24 – W
Eh.
Go Johnny Boy!
McCain 08!!!
REPTILIANS
Fuck I don't like either men… but It's called class.. something us non racist people have.
Good shit for McCain… also great pik on his VP Gov Sarah Palin…
OH BOY!!
Perez said something nice about McCain how very grown up!! I thought him waiting until today to announce his vice president was a classy move so didn’t up stage the DNC.
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!!!
Well, it's official…he chose the naughty librarian….damn….
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
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.
HE PICKED SARAH PALIN FOR VP!!
i think he sounds patronizing
Ok guys picture this McCain gets the vote right? Moving into the white house he has a heart attack… who is our new president? Palin wouldn’t Hillary be pissed? LMAO
Barack Obama Barack Obama Barack Obama Barack Obama

Re: harrybalsac – I get a bunch of shit for saying McCain can have all the ignorant racist voters and yet you guys keeping proving my point! NOT ALL McCain supporters ARE RACIST AND IGNORANT…but clearly most of them on this forum are!!!
Re: I luvDrgQns – "he picked the naughty librarian"
She's a lifetime member of the NRA and Pro life.
Now THAT is Funny
INNERESTING!
Let the games begin!
McCain will win the Presidency.
Re: SKITTLES – Lol Yeaaaa shes be pissed!!!
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.
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.
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
Re: SKITTLES – I hadn't thought abot that ye, but you are right. She would be livid and it makes me laugh too
Re: SKITTLES –
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
Re: OBAMA 08 – A-hole the last time I looked Biden was WHITE & HE SUCKS ASS!!!
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
Fuck the Republicans
Re: theone24 – HAHAHAHA! THAT WAS GOOD!
Re: Minx – Picture Hillary saying” bubba hand me my shank I’m cutting that bitch up!!”
ROFLMAO
HARRY,
Relax buddy and that’s Mrs. Bitch to you
This guy is so fake- He's only doing this to try to save face after all the sh*t talking he did. Wow, now we see the "softer side" of Mc Cain, bullshit liar.
Re: I luvDrgQns – LOL!
I THINK MCCAIN MAY MAKE THIS A TIGHT RACE BECAUSE , AS SOME ELSE HAS POINTED OUT, NOMINATED A WHITE WOMAN AS HIS VP MAY GET THE HILARY VOTERS SWAYED TO HIS SIDE! LET'S HOPE NOT!
Re: SKITTLES –
I don't think she is the right female though. Two prolife candidates, 3 Supreme Court judges at stake. Womens Rights are in deeper jeopardy. With women not even making equal pay for equal work unplanned pregnancies throws a lifetime monkey wrench in peoples lives. Healthcare doesn'tcover birth control, I could go on forever. I don't know her yet so we'll see.
Re: SKITTLES –
More like she'll shoot Palin using Palin's own rifle
Hillary is one balls crunching tough chick.
Re: LettyB –
But I think Women for Hillary wanted Hillary not Hillary Substitutes. Palin is not as visible impactful female as Hillary. She hasn't wrestled the "good ol boys" and won. She has two months to prove she's a formidable member of the "sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits"…. CHeesie but I couldn;t resist
Re: Minx – You don’t think she will work harder on the rights of women? I would like think as a woman she would want to change things for the better. I do not side with the McCain on roe vs. wade I believe it’s my choice as woman with that said, they have yet to over turn the law and I don’t think they ever will. I just think this a political hot topic on both sides with empty threats. She didn’t say she didn’t believe in birth control that I know of I could be wrong lets just hear what she has to say.
Re: Minx – I HOPE YOUR RIGHT!
Too bad McCain was against MLK having his own holiday. Typical racist conservative.
He is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo full of shit…
Did anyone else think that McCain's ad last night came across as smug, insincere, and self-serving? It didn't look to me as if he was congratulating Obama as much as he was making it look like he can take the high-road. But I'm not buying it.
doesn't sound sincere to me.
MCCAIN WAS ONE OF THE LAST SENATORD TO APPROVE MLK DAY…FOR YEARS HE OPPOSED IT…SO INTERESTING HE SHOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN REFFERENCE A MAN HE DOESN'T APPRECIATE.
THIS SARAH PALIN SHIT IS RIDICULOUS…HE'S TRYING TO GIVE THE ILLUSION OF CHANGE.
I'm sure Barack spent his entire day glued to the TV set, hoping for a sweet shout out from McSame. When you want to congratulate someone, a phone call is usually appropriate. THIS was just another campaign ad, for the public, shoing his "nice guy" side. PROPAGANDA!
Re: Andy27 – And all this time I thought you were gay…?
Log Cabin Republican?
Re: Andy27 – Re: DrDeez – HAHAHAHA! McCain's retarded ass voted against Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Holiday! Way to go idiot. He even came here to Memphis and got boo'd. Team McCain=Team of shame!
lol commemorating the "i have a dream speech?!" This dumb cunt voted against having MLK day as a holiday. how fucking hilarious he dares to "remember" him, when he's a stupid racist republicunt.
That's ass kissing or something.
Doesn't it seem like the "how perfect that your nomination came on this day" comment was like a backhanded compliment. McCain's voice tone was seriously sarcastic while saying that.
Thats a really bad attempt to play nice and to make himself look better.
Obama '08
classy.
Is it just me? Or does John Mccain sound EXACTLY like Bush, like his voice tone, and his head bouncing when he talks. it's like Bush wearing a mask for reals!
Talk about a PHONY. McCain shouldnt waste his money on insincere ads. Didn't his primary campaign go bankrupt right out of the gate this year? He should save those $ dollars for promoting his new PUPPET of a VP.
Seriously, the only thing this man can inspire is a LONG NAP.
I still think he should use his free time to learn how to use the computer and get on "the google". I would hope that whomever is president of the united states would have the fundemental skills of turning on a computer and receiving an email. You know, that pretty much requires turning ON a computer.
Re: LULU~* –
McCain is using tar baby to describe a dilemma that is almost impossible to get out of or a sticky situation aggrivated by contact where the only solution is seperation.. not as a racial slur (although, it sometimes is used as one.. but not in this case).
It comes from a story about a doll made of tar and turpentine which was used to entrap the Br'er Rabbit character. The more that Br'er Rabbit fought it, the more entangled he became.
McCain is not the only politician to have used it either.
Sooo full of it.
That's showing "class" to acknowledge your opponent's achievements. That's all I have to say.
do your research and quit being Ignorant. McCain VOTED AGAINST MLK DAY BEING A NATIONAL HOLIDAY! Racist and shifted far to the right even when he has more liberal before he ran for office. He uses abuses his "I was tortured in Vietnam " to avoid answering questions intelligently. He is an extremist ! ANDY your GAY and Rpublicans HATE GAYS !
