Difference between Obama and McCain

This thread is for giving examples of the differences between Obama and McCain.


Obama: Respectful of the needs of the middle class over special interests.
McCain: Does not pay much attention to the economy.


Obama: Did not vote for this war in Iraq.
McCain: Why not 10,000 more years of the same killing, family disruption and bankrupting power of this war?

Your turn...

You just don't like the facts I brought up.

Why not list some of your own "facts"

OBAMA: Young

McCAIN: Old

Obama: very thin
McCain: quite stocky

If they were both 30, McCain could definitely take Obama in a fight.

Obama can almost certainly dance better.

I think the candidates should have a dance fight...

"Respectful of the needs of the middle class." I love it. There's a nice "fact" for you.

"Does not pay much attention to the economy." Another beauty. Why, because CNN doesn't cover him talking about it all that much?

Oh, and I notice that every time you reference the Iraq war, you call it "this war in Iraq." It's like you're reading from one of Obama's speeches. And let me tell you, your characterization of McCain's "position" was <sarcasm> SO INCREDIBLY FAIR AND BALANCED! </saracasm>

idiot?

I as a former Republican leaning guy have always found Christopher Dodd as a most well spoken gentleman from Connecticut. He has always been a very grounded gentleman who as a former Republican I always admired for his honest love of his country and how he respects those who elect him.

Why may I ask do you term him an idiot?

That is the last thing I think of him. I was talking to my grandmother just today as a matter of fact on my mother's side and I brought up Chris Dodd as a man of integrity which while I have normally been a republican have always admired.

My grandmother and grandfather on my mother's side voted early for Barack Obama.

I talked to my sister tonight and she and her husband are both voting for Barack Obama tomorrow.
What do we all have in common? We all used to vote Republican.

Don't talk trash about Christopher Dodd.

I love my son and my country far too much to vote for such a mistake.

I didn't. Hardy declared that anyone who would use the words clean and articulate to describe Obama is an idiot. I did make a mistake in that it was Biden and not Dodd. I'll have to retract the joke and save it for when Biden endorses.

Okay people... reset... get to your places... take 2.

Clearly your own racial prejudices have shown your own precarious mental state. You declare light to be healing and being devoid of light to have a lack of healing power.

Here are some McCain and Obama differences.

Obama debates others and comes off looking badly compared to staring at a teleprompter and delivering a speech.

McCain is able to debate, speak off the cuff and even hang riffing jokes with John Stewart in equally well.

It's not a mistake.

And let's ask you how long you would continue to take anti-Cancer treatments if they were needed?

All your life?

Well, good. Because that is the message he was trying to send to the enemy. That if they thought they could wait us out and then attack Iraq after we left, McCain was saying that they had better not hold their breath because we were going to be there for 50 years if necessary.

You saw it another way.

"OMG MCCAIN WANTS TO STAY THERE AND WAGE WAR FOR 50 YEARS!!!" "We must do something to stop him."

Not accusing you of anything, but can you see how the enemy would have the exact same reaction as that???

Well, the term "Magic Negro" seems pretty offensive, anyway.

It's a legendary mythical figure known by blacks and many whites. The magic benign negro will come along and save the day.

Not offensive at all except for the fact that so many whites buy into it so deeply.

Quote:
Writing about Barack Obama on March 19, 2007, Los Angeles Times columnist David Ehrenstein wrote:

"But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination—the 'Magic Negro.' ... The senator's famously stem-winding stump speeches have been drawing huge crowds to hear him talk of uniting rather than dividing. A praiseworthy goal. Consequently, even the mild criticisms thrown his way have been waved away, "magically." He used to smoke, but now he doesn't; he racked up a bunch of delinquent parking tickets, but he paid them all back with an apology. And hey, is looking good in a bathing suit a bad thing? ... Like a comic-book superhero, Obama is there to help, out of the sheer goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him."[14]

Some women's looks just don't appeal to me. There are some attractive TV & film celebs who I find unattractive.

Julia Roberts comes to mind.

Rachel Ray.

Paris Hilton.
