McCain responded to amazing $150 million in fundraising (with 3.1 million donors) month of September by the Obama Campaign:
“History shows us where unlimited amounts of money are in political campaigns, it leads to scandal.”
And that, Senator Disgrace McCain, is why I just donated another $50 to the Obama Campaign. I’m sure he thanks you. Please, if you can, donate now.
A day after Obama’s historic appearance in front of 100,000 people in the city of St. Louis, former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for President. It should also be noted that the Obama Campaign has raised $150 million in the month of September. Truly amazing numbers. It’s time for a change and not more of the same. Watch his amazing interview of Colin Powell on Meet the Press explaining why Barack Obama should be the next President of the United States:
This is a great video showing McCain’s reaction to a statement Barack Obama has made several times, including at the debate last week. Maybe if McCain would stop with his Chester the Molester grinning and making faces and actually listen to what other people say he might have heard it. Or maybe his age and dementia is really starting to show and he just forgot. All I know is it makes for entertaining TV watching him react. And what’s with the blinking?
Last night during the debate McCain revealed his new plan for the mortgage crisis. The problem is, it seems like he pulled it out of thin air and it went completely against something earlier he said. Here is what he said during the debate:
“As president of the United States, Alan, I would order the secretary of the treasury to immediately buy up the bad home loan mortgages in America and renegotiate at the new value of those homes — at the diminished value of those homes and let people be able to make those — be able to make those payments and stay in their homes.
“Is it expensive? Yes. But we all know, my friends, until we stabilize home values in America, we’re never going to start turning around and creating jobs and fixing our economy.”
The problem is, McCain keeps saying how there is going to be an across the board freeze on spending in a McCain administration, “except for defense, Veterans Affairs, and some other vital programs.” That is going to be a huge increase of spending if he follows through.
McCain also stated that this is a plan that Obama (nor Bush) would support. Again, another lie by McCain. The Washington Post reported, “The Obama campaign called the mortgage idea ‘old news,’ saying that a similar Treasury Department program is already underway as part of the economic rescue package and that Obama backed it.”
Not only that, but in a statement two weeks ago from Obama, in his own words:
“[W]e should consider giving the government the authority to purchase mortgages directly instead of simply purchasing mortgage- backed securities. In the past, such an approach has allowed taxpayers to profit as the housing market recovered. This is not simply a question of looking out for homeowners; it’s doubtful that the economy as a whole can recover without the restoration of our housing sector, including a rebound in the home values that have suffered dramatically in recent months.”
So, McCain’s new plan is only new to him. Obama suggested something similar two weeks ago and the Treasury Department is working on a plan. McCain is also going against his pledge of a spending freeze and lied about Obama’s position (as if that’s new). Can you really trust John McCain? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. John McCain is a liar and a disgrace.
I won’t say much about the debates here, because, well, you should have watched and decided for yourself who won. I think going in, everyone was expecting McCain to wipe the floor with Obama. It’s long been known McCain is a good debator, but we didn’t see that tonight. Obama only needed to hold his own, but he did more than hold his own. He nailed McCain on several issues. Right after the debate, the news started reporting all the things that McCain got wrong (including his voting record on energy and Henry Kissenger). It’s clear the McCain doesn’t have the issues to run on, that’s why he kept invoking Ronald Reagan, loving veterans, and trying to say Obama didn’t have the experience it takes. The funny thing is, every time McCain would say Obama didn’t understand, Obama would come right back and show that, not only did he understand, but that he understood the situation better than McCain. I’m looking forward to seeing the debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. If she’s anything like how she is in interviews, it might be unbearable to watch.
Here is a great quote from Barack Obama speaking in Elko, Nevada.
“But it sounds like he got a little carried away, because yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s President, he’ll take on the — and I quote — ‘ol’ boys network’ in Washington. I am not making this up. This is someone who’s been in Congress for 26 years — who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign — and now he tells us that he’s the one who will take on the ol’ boy network. The ol’ boy network? In the McCain campaign, that’s called a staff meeting.”
Barack Obama has come out with an extended ad that is dedicated to the economy. The two minute long ad outlines the major points of his economic plan. What’s interesting to note is that this isn’t like any other ad. There are no fancy graphics, quotes, and photo op shots. It’s just Obama, talking into the camera, outlining his plan. I think it’s a great ad and I hope to see it air nationally as much as possible. It’s a very powerful ad. Of course, a 2 minute ad won’t come cheap, so make sure you help out the campaign by donating today. Here is the ad:
No, I’m not talking about the countless blogs, websites, reporters that are showing just how much she lied. I’m talking about the ordinary citizens of this country who want change and see that McCain and Palin are the same as the people who have been hurting this country for the past 8 years. Since Palin’s long-winded lie last night, the people of America have donated over $8 million to the Obama campaign, and they are on pace to hit $10 million by the time Bush… errr… McCain hits the stage tonight. It’s great to see that the great people of this country, who are tired of the same attacks, high gas prices, endless wars, a bad economy, aren’t fooled by the lies of McCain and Palin. They are ready for a change in this country, and Barack Obama is that change. If you want change in America, please donate a little to the campaign. Your donations are what Obama counts on, not oil lobbyists and large corporations.
