Obama: McCain shouldn’t ‘turn the page’ on economy

wise spoken Obama He shows each day, how much better he would be as POTUS, compared to McSame, who has nothing to offer but smears!!! Shame on him Wtg Obama ;) OBAMA/BIDEN in a landslide!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PRESIDENT OBAMA Do not stoop to that other fellow tactics, continue to rise above him and be the gentleman he is not. If he is worried about Erles tell him to go to the Univ of Chicago and inquire why they allow him to be a board member,he can use any distraction he choose to,please make him stick to the issues. How can we continue to make our mortage payment,our 401K, and how we can finance our children college education. We can't afford $300,000.00 outfits, matter of fact we can't afford $3,000.00 outfits. If he is concerns about our economy ask him to tell his wife to sell some those outfits she prance around in and help the homless that his adminstation put there. NO MORE MUD SLINGING McSHAME

Of coarse McCain does not want to talk about the economy he has nothing effective to say, instead he will spend the rest of his time campaigning by negative attacks to try & destroy Obama, because that is who McCain is & that is what he does. McCain comes across to me as a liar, and someone not to trust. He is not the honorable man he claims to be,(keating 5, google it) he acts like he does not know what he is doing, he darts off in all directions, making exact opposite decisions every day.Obama handled the"bailout" very calmly & very Presidential. McCain is angry & frustrated & really doesn't know what he's doing. I am ready for the Change We Need. Obama /Biden 08-12

forget the economy...I think McCain is forgetting that the "fundamentals are strong"....this guy is so out of touch its not funny.

I used to be leaning for McCain, but with this mudslinging coming out of his Campaign instead of fixes for the Economy, I am not voting for him anymore.

You know, I'm getting sick (SICK!!) of the John and Sarah traveling circus that his campaign is turning into. They are out there making a mockery of our political process specifically, and this land that is my Country in general, and it has to stop. This dredging up of old news Ayers and Wright, along with their continuous lies, and blaming everything that is wrong on Barack Obama is the worst gutter politics I've ever seen. ENOUGH, John and Sarah, ENOUGH!

Barack Obama is the only presidential candidate in this race who recognizes the importance of addressing the housing crisis from the bottom up. With McCain, every policy initiative happens at the top with hopes of the benefits trickling down. We all have seen how badly that works... Obama/Biden '08

I challenge all Americans to e-mail CNN and insist that our two presidential candidates debate on the issues that are important to all Americans at Tuesday Presidetial Debate. We don't want to sit and hear them debate about attacks on each others characters and listen to McCain use his scare tactics now that his numbers are going down in the polls. Stop this nonsense and lets get down to the real issues our country is facing. We wnat to know how they are going to help us with this economic crisis, the high cost of gas, fuel, and food. We want to know about our healthcare plans, taxes, and which President has the better plan to help the average American people. So I say to everyone, insist to both our candidates that we want to hear a debate on the issues our Country is facing and how they are going to help fix this crisis we are in, and they should not even be allowed to discuss anything else!

Obama is starting to sound downright Presidential (putting your country first instead of trying to get in yet another weak jab at your opponent -- what a concept!). Hope this keeps up :-)

Sad that the only thing McCain and Palin can do now is try to figure out how to lie their way out of loosing this election. So far it hasn't worked. But then, thats how they have ran this whole campaign... I use to have great respect for McCain but now, he has changed from the great senator he use to be to a GREAT BIG LIER... SHAME ON YOU JOHN. I NOW KNOW YOU FOR WHAT YOU MUST HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.

Of course John McCain is ready to turn the page on the economy-he's not hurting like the rest of us! His wife wore a $300,000 outfit at the convention! He wears $500 shoes. He owns at least 7 homes, one with 14 bedrooms! He drives a fleet of cars! His wife owns a jet! It's because McCain is so out of touch with the average American that he doesn't care about the crisis at hand. Well, we do. Obama/Biden

Gary's Comment is: Mc Cain & Palin have no where else to go except to the gutter, and get down and get dirty, its called "DESPERATION", everyone in the the Obama group needs to just stay on message and not get into thegutter with them, take the high road, and be Presidential, we need to get our pride back in America, these are dark days and alot of the people of this great country are hurting, people like me have no time for school yard pranks and gotcha games, its a turn off.

In a speech today. McBush faulted Obama for a delay of the Bail out. True, and thank God Obama delayed these crooks. The original Bail Out Bill had no safe guards and was a blank check for crooked Republicans like McBush to Bail out their Criminal Corporate Pals who have destroyed our economy.

repugs are desperate and nervous about the idea of a black president. I just saw a clip of a florida sheriff refer to Obama as Barack Hussein Obama , when introducing Palin at a Florida rally. The repugs claim to be the party of moral values and religious faith, but it as become the party of bigots and ignorance. The repugs prey on division and hatred in the name of patriotism. I pray nobody tries to harm Obama due to lies perputuated by the likes of Sean Hannity, Linbaugh, foxnews and the McCain campaign.

Give me a Break, Mr. McCain please stop this nonsense neg. ad and try to fix the economy...

mcsame and caribou barbie are out there spewing their lies!!!!! im tired of hearing her talking about TOD AND I !!!! whats up with that????? i also hear he is the shadow govener, thats all we need is another crooked person in the !!!!! they need to finish up with trooper gate before it is too late.... thats all we need to be stuck with her in office!!!! she has no idea what she is talking about, so she should shut up and go home NOW !!!!!!!!

Let's see: it's good that Palin is an outsider from politics, then it's good that she has political experience. Then it's bad that Obama is an outsider with very little political experience. Then he is connected with evil terrorists from the 60s.... I'm getting confused.... McCain has always been an insider.... what is good, what is bad.... I'm getting a head ache! Thank goodness, we only have a month to go. All I know is that I don't want four more years of the Same Old Bush policies that got us into this mess! Golly gee! and Darn it!

The Keating 5 scandle is not mud slinging. It is a fact. It is also pertainate to our current financial criisis as McSame is a well known advocate of deregulation and has major deregulation lobbists, like Davis and Gram advising his campaign. Mud slinging would be bringing up Cindi's treft of narcotics from her chariy due to her addiction. And as far as patroitism goes, Palin has given a presentation at her Husbands Separitist group that wants to cede from the US-as in treason!

Brother can you spare me a dime? Congress can you send me another trillion or so? The first question is for Main Street and the second for Wall Street. Both Senators represent Wall Street. Time for a real party, another boston tea party!

The true man behind the mask is starting to emerge as an angry, bitter, and self absorbed wreck. If this doesn't scream 'more of the same' straight to your face, than you are a poor judge of character and should do everyone else in this nation a favor, and sit out on this election.

Joe? Shouldn't it be "Jane" Six-pack? Like Jane Doe? Maybe not.

John Arcane, the new voice of fascist America ONE NATION

So my Granddaughter say's to me... Why do you care so much about America? If they get in trouble it's better me Granddad. She is a much better candidate than me for this Ticker...

Worse then limiting the number of comments on the pages, is the fact that CNN picks and chooses who it will let comment on these pages. I suppose I just don't pick the right side to comment on isn't that right MR OR MS MODERATOR....... AND DON'T COMPLAIN TO CNN TICKER BECAUSE THEY COULD CARE LESS.... COME ON YOU GUYS WHO ARE MODERATING THESE COMMENTS... GIVE US ALL A CHANCE TO COMMENT. NOT JUST YOUR CHOSEN FEW. BUT THEN YOU PROBABLY WON'T EVEN PRINT THIS ONE EITHER.

I sign papers today to stop contributing to my 401k , I could spen d the money on gas or buy groceries instead of watching it dwindle away faster then i can put the money in,,, It is so sad that will Im watching my future and my childrens security evaporate and the best that McCain and Palin can do is infantile name calling I dont see how anyone with a child and a brain can possibly think of voting for these two Stop the childish games and talking about the issues please !!!!!!

Ex-Republican -- wow, dude/dudette, maybe decaf next time? I'm more sad than I am angry about the turn of events with McCain. At one point in time he really was the maverick that he likes to talk about on the campaign trail. If he had been that person again, it would have been a very different race to this point in terms of the level of discourse. This could have been a model campaign to hold up as an example of how two men can disagree with each other but not feel the need to discredit each other. Instead, we're getting a model election of how desperation can alter life-long held tenets of acceptable behavior. Tomorrow's debate should be interesting...

McCain Corrupt Skeletons: Keating 5 G.Gordon Liddy John Singlaud The Mob Boss Sara Palin - trooper gate, affairs, Gov Palin appear at the radical group "AIP" convention in 2000 Rick Davis - Fannie Mae Vote record Against Vets Votes Against Womens Issues Votes Against Education Votes For the War in Iraq Adultry/Gambling

McCain-Palin are now desperate and panic. They will turn to anything they can find to attack Obama, even though they are old news and Obama had been clear. Does any idiot believe in this time and age, some terrorists are still on the loose that Obama can pal around with? If they are not in jail, they should sue Palin for discrediting their good name. Palin thinks she can do anything the ways she did in Alaska without any check and balance. Go back to Alaska to be the Dictator that your citizens so love. Palin is THE terrorist for wanting to secede from the USA then came running for Vice to destroy this nation!

McCain will do whatever he can to deflect attention from his own failings. He is 72 years old, not particularly well-educated, a life-long politician, an adulterer, friend to scoundrels domestic and foreign, married to a woman who stole from her own charity, filthy rich and unconcerned with regular Americans. In addition, he chose a right-wing nut-job for a running mate. Did I mention the nut-job isn't very smart or well-educated, either? He cannot properly discuss the economy because he's still catching up to the present! Just weeks ago, he thought the economy was "sound".

McCain is so desperate he is willing to shift the focus off the economy of which is knows nothing about, to mud slinging. All the garbage he is dredging up is old news. Let's talk about the Keating 5; Troopergate; Palin's witch hunter reverend; McCain's philandering past; proven lies throughout the campaign, etc. etc. etc. If he wants to fight dirty, he and Palin better be prepared to answer some questions about their own characters or lack of them. While I don't like swift boating, I do feel that Obama shouldn't take McCain and Palin's character attacks without fighting back. I do know, Obama will continue to focus on the ecomony. He is an intelligent, reflective, and thoughtful man which is who is needed given the complexities that are in being faced today. McCain doesn't understand these. Remember it was McCain that said the "fundamentals of the economy are sound" two/three weeks ago?!!!! Obama/Biden '08

Obama is right. McCain does not have a good healthcare plan or any other policies. Bad news McCain, I am going to vote for Obama. The Keating 5 is real and the Obama attacks are false, We would vote for Obama today if we could. I would like to be done with you and your lying ways. Good riddens McCain.

GOP Garbage In, Garbage Out!

WHY DIDN'T SENATOR MCCAIN DO THE HONORABLE THING TO SAVE INVESTORS KNOWING THAT SILVER BANK WAS FAILING WHEN HIS SON WHO WAS CEO AND QUIT 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO IT'S FAILURE IN AUGUST '08? JOHN MCCAIN WAS IN ARIZONA EVERY WEEKEND DURING THIS TIME.

the economy is hurting because of the war, spending money on exports that could be made here. rising price of oil because of war, and OPEC doesn't like the president because of their idealogies. Bush did protect the country at least give him that. but money now that is a different story, and it was the same with his father. America always needed balance but the rich are getting excessive. REALITY CHECK because what is the point to have FDIC if a dollar is worth a penny. America still got it but people need to play their role and get in their stations.

Dear Future President Barack Obama: Whatever you do, please don't go horribly negative like Senator McCain and Governor Palin. Their smears are getting ugly and becoming more and more unattractive to us voters, especially we independents. I hear you and believe that you love this country and eager to work hard even though you are going to inherit the largest mess any president have ever been saddeled with. For the likes of me, I can't understand why anybody would want this job after the Bush/McCain Administration have raped this country of so much. You have my vote and support. Just don't get caught up in the dirty politics of McCain/Palin. They are trying to lure you into that dark hole of loser.

We are in such Bad shape financially and MCPalin could care less about Us! Voting for Obama.

Thank you, Senator Obama! I know you have our best interests at heart. I can't wait for this endless election to be over so that you can really get to work on solving the problems that Dubya and his cronies are leaving behind. Please stick to the high road: your moral center is why we're putting our trust in (and casting our votes for) you.

McCain is disgusting. I am honestly disappointed in him.

Saying A Sitting United State Senator Is Palling Around With Terrorist Is Very Reckless and Shameful!

I have e-mailed the following to the FCC: I strongly object to -- and request an investigation by -- the FCC of CNN's internet communications practices. As you know, CNN makes available internet articles and then posts these on "tickers" that allow readers to comment. I strongly object to the following practices of CNN vis-a-vis- these tickers. Any pro-Obama comment (regardless how vile) is posted repeatedly by the same individual -- and this individual is allowed to post on any and all subsequent tickers. Conversely, any anti-Obama comment is rarely -- if ever -- posted. If it IS posted on one ticker -- and if the same individual attempts to post another comment -- the first comment is immediately removed. Additionally, if this individual attempts to post a comment on a different ticker -- NOT only is this comment NOT posted -- but the comment on a previous ticker is also immediately eliminated.

ALL THOSE $$$$$$$$$$ OBAMA TOOK FROM WALL ST FOLKS FOR HIS CAMPANGE BROKE THE BANK FOR AMERICA. BUT WHAT THE HELL,WHATS A HALF BILLION DOLLARS FROM THE DEMS. THEY CAN ALWAYS MAKE IT UP IN TAXES. NAM VET NH

YOU TUBE KEATINGECONOMICS

Just heard something interesting from Bill Schenider of CNN, 30% of Republicans think that McCain is going to lose. WOW........that's a significant number........ if 30% of Republicans believe that their candidate will lose, then why vote? Also, that 30% know, what those of us, Republicans, Independents and Democrats voting for OBAMA know.......... that's that, McCain IS out-of-touch-erratic-and-mean. I dreading tomorrow night's debate because I know that McCain will attack, he will be rude and dismissive towards. Sen. Obama. McCain, I believe is angry, very angry that this brilliant young man who happens to be African-American would come along and steal what is "rightfully" his. Just like Bush stole McCain's thunder in 2000! Perhaps McCain, needs to have a reality check, sometimes its not meant to be.

"Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it." - John McCain, 2000

So sorry neocons. You've successfully sensitized the American people to your smears, lies, and attacks that now we don't believe anything you say. Even your propaganda machines in the mainstream media aren't helping you. Never underestimate the Republicans' underestimation of the American people.

Well when you don't have a plan on the economy, health care, etc. to talk about all you have left is to attack your opponent in the hopes the American people will fall for your lies. Sen. McCain wake up we know where you are coming from and we the American people aren't falling for it. Why don't you drop out of the race like you did in Michigan you will be putting your Country First for sure.

LMAO...Rick, give it up dude! Nobody in politics is clean. Every one of them has made some kind of mistake or met the wrong people at some point. The question is not what they did in the past, but did they learn from their mistakes...And that is clearly Obama. Heck, never mind Palin's past...she's embroiled in legal trouble NOW!!! LOL!

Sarah Palin and John McCain are demonstrating that the Bible has a place on their shelves collecting dust and nothing more. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Look I was born and raise in the same state where people use to kill black people for fun, but that do not make me a killer. Sarah Palin and John McCain should get with the program and stop wasting time on childish stuff. I would feel so much better if they would talk about how to fix what is wrong with the government.

JOHN LYING MCCAIN HAS LOST HIS MIND his own campaign even admitted today if they keep talking about the economy then they will lose MCIDIOTS ITS THE ECONOMY DO YOU PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION no thats right your too busy lying and figuring out ways to smear Senator Obama THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN WILL GO DOWN AS THE MOST VILE LYING DISGUSTING CAMPAIGN IN HISTORY!

I am saddened by the disgrace that MCCain and Palin has shown, I have a Son that is in the Military and he serves his country honorable, does this pay his bills NO!!!! My son is a Maverick not Jonh McCAin, I am sick and tired of all the BULL that the republicans are trying to shove up our rear ends, it is time for us the true AMERICANS to stand up and put an end t the same old BUSH tactics that has frozen the american people. America let your voices be heard. I will be voting for OBAMA/BIDEN and encouraging evryone that I meet to do the same. As for Sara Palin words can not describe for an AMERICAN how she screws up the English language, you are nothing but a dumb cluck I will not eevn have my daughter lisson to you I don't want her talking like that, SARA go to school.
