He's a lot more harmless than his campaign, for sure. Sometimes I wonder whether he knows what his campaign is doing.

Am I alone thinking the blue background behind him looks bland and bad on TV? Even a little flag or something might have helped.

The president has tripled direct humanitarian and development aid to the world's most impoverished continent since taking office and recently vowed to double that increased amount by 2010 -- to nearly $9 billion.

The moves have surprised -- and pleased -- longtime supporters of assistance for Africa, who note that because Bush has received little support from African American voters, he has little obvious political incentive for his interest.

This is as of 2006. You're probably right about minority votes (if any even vote based on African aid) especially with ignorant views such as your's.

And judging from his putting an average hockey mom on his ticket, the idea is American Idol.

Incredibly uneven speech, very hard to watch at time. Some good bits. I liked the story, but again I already knew ti so it didnt win any points. LIked the music. Loved the america is an idea line. Butt at the same time... WTF was he thinking with some thing?

"When I was 5, the post man ran into my house, saying "the japanese bombed pearl harbor"

Dude...

Green, then blue. Where's the digital matte painting of Naboo? :roll:

He built the log cabin Abraham Lincoln was born in.

McCain's speech is not nearly as invigorating as Palin's speech. This man can put bears into hibernation. I feel a little sorry for him. He's more honorable than his campaign, and this campaign season has really dragged him down as a man.

Wow and this is why people like you would never accomplish anything in this country because you can't open your mind wider than talk radio dogma. So Bush has sent billions of dollars to Africa, I wish he would get this message out instead of always pandering to his base with how we had to go to war with Iraq and the boogie man is always out to get us. Maybe his approval rating would be better.

I am very divided.


Hands down Obama wins on Issues however McCain character is much better.


Its the choice between a young idealist and a experienced man with many wounds.
Its a choice that is rather diffcult...

I just don't trust Obama and I do not think McCain can do anything New.

Sarah Palin will be huge, here criticisms flew out the window yesterday.

HOW? How the fuck is he better on character? He has sold out on every issue imaginable in his pathetic attempt to get the presidency. You call that character?

The Republicans can go fuck themselves. And if America votes for McCain and Palin, then it too can go fuck itself.

Obama already thinks he is President...


Look, you can bitch all you want, Obama and McCain both have huge flaws.

I can't believe how bias some of you have gotten for Obama or for McCain.

Imo the best way to look at a election campaign is from the middle.

Imo this is going to be a repeat of 1960 all over again Kennedy vs Nixon.

Obama-machine needs to beat down on this campaign. It looks desperate and weak.


With Joe Biden???, Palin made him look sooo weak...

McCain thinks he's an invincible god who can control the weather. I just don't know if I want someone like that as president.

See how easy it is to project "flaws" on people and then act torn?

Are you kidding!

Biden was expected a man like Romney who he would discuss issues with.

Now it is going to become a hurl of insults and Biden cannot take the moral high ground.
You watch any debate the person who brushes off things looks weak and the person who attacks even negatively looks much better. It will be a bitter debate...

actually imo it will be a very hyped up debate and it will be a sight to see.

Attack Dog vs Attack Dog.

Last time it was Edwards the Shiny vs the Dark Lord...

Expect it to be one of the most watched VP debates in history.

I gave you a statistic from the Washington Post. This is a well known mainstream paper located in the capital of the United States.

How can you admit that Bush has sent billions to Africa (something that isn't pandering to his base) and then mention that you wish he would stop "always pandering to his base"?

That's about as far as I can get deciphering the caustic drivel flowing from your fingers.
