God damn, I mean this dude's policy is inspiring.
That yearly check-in about education could do tremendous things.

I was enjoying the Obama education speech, when MSNBC decided it was time to go to commercial:
"A real meat and potatoes speech about education policy from Obama. BUT WE SHOULD MENTION HE DID RESPOND TO THE LIPSTICK CONTROVERSY! PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR REACTION FROM THE MCCAIN-PALIN CAMP!"

YES!!! My money went through!
Everyone at Intrade is sane, though, and he's sitting at 54. I put in a bid at 600 contracts at 50 just to see, and if no one takes I'll just bite the bullet and buy at 52-53 or something.

You are right. It has more to do with veiled and unveiled racism and people's disgust at any mention of social reform. POOR PEOPLE SHOULD STAY POOR, AND ALSO I DON'T WANT TO PAY MORE TAXES THAN THE BAGGERS AT MY GROCERY STORE.VanMardigan said:
No really, that's the argument I've heard countless times from Obama to McCain floppers.
Also I was going to say this "We need a different style of politics" nonsense is more of the same REPUBS R EVIL talking point nonsense that lost the Dems the last two elections, but Obama seems far more sincere about it than fucking Kerry ever did.

PERFECT FUCKING QUESTION!
CNN NAO!!!!!
CNN NAO!!!!!
Working in school administration, his comments about making us more efficient and cutting down on bureaucracy was nice, though I'm unconvinced about the level of success a national initiative would have this far down on the totem pole.
Something certainly needs to be done though. In my relatively small school district (the city right next to where Obama was talking today, actually,
), we have fifteen highly-payed "educational coordinators" all with the exact same job description tasked with the exact same workload, and 14 of them are sitting in their offices playing solitaire or gossiping, rather than out at the schools. I work for the one who actually does her job, lol.
Methinks we could eliminate some of those sorry fucks and divert some funds back into the schools themselves. When I go out on visitations, the disparity between the newer schools and the older ones is discouraging. Lack of funds isn't the only problem, but it sure as shit isn't a minor part of it.

Wait, contradictions and lies that McCain says OBAMA has put forth?woxel1 said:
Outside of that whole "writing the constitution to accommodate the bible" thing he said to that religious group, a crazy statement equal to that of other crazy republican quotes, his message of how religion and government both influence each other are similar to that of Obama. We have all seen how crazy politicians behave and I wouldn't write him in as one.Cheebs said:
plus if you need any other reason to like the man
Really should of been the republican candidate.

Obama on CNN in summary:

has calmed down a bit.

The Republicans are amazing at pushing fear and disinformation. You don't counter that by attacking the public, you attack the source of fear and disinformation. I'm glad Obama gets that by making comments about the talents and positives of the American people rather than demonizing entire sections of them the way the Republicans and far left gaffers do.
This is why he'll win, and I hope the Republicans don't succeed in engaging Obama in a mud-slinging contest where they after each other's constituents to shore up their own rather than reaching out to everyone.
Obama:
"The other side is not good at governing, but they're good at running campaigns."
"This whole thing about lipstick, nobody actually believes that these folks are offended. These are the republicans who spend a whole bunch of time getting all huffy about why are you worried about people being politically incorrect."
"We are just going to keep on presenting the facts."

I don't understand why the liberal 527 groups are so incompetent. Why the fuck doesn't Move-On or some similar group actually put together some effective attack ads.
Instead, all I hear about liberals 527s are their ridiculous ads making fun of General Petraeus, an obviously terrible tactical decision.
I don't understand why conservative 527s are so effective and liberal 527s are horribly incompetent.

Uh, um, RIGHT ANSWER.
Obama's making jokes about how the Republicans put out press releases that are insane
Obama: "I once said McCain had lost his bearings while we were debating something..."
"Then They said I was attacking his age! They put out this press release... I mean come on.. that's nonsense"
<3 Obama.

I can't listen to this right now but that's the most critical thing. He simply has to get the message across that he will be LOWERING taxes for everybody but the top 1%. Right now a great deal of the electorate believes McCain is lowering taxes and Obama is increasing them, as the Republican Party has been falsely saying about the Democrats for years, but Obama still has a chance to change that mindset at least a little. He's been emphasizing that he'll lower taxes for 95% of working families, but that's not enough. He needs to flat-out say that the McCain campaign is lying about taxes, period.
Of course, reporters need to do their job as well and actually report it when he does attack that issue.
Made a point about how the other side is running a campaign not necessarily about the issues but with lies and deceit. With Obamas campaign being run so cleanly and without the typical political jabs how can they/plan to combat that.Miroku said:
Obamas answer was to continue to drive home their points on the real issues.
No way. He'd be harder to beat. He'd energize the christian right without the need for a flawed VP and it'd be near impossible to connect him to Bush since he really isn't a big neocon on the war and they did nothing together or even have pictures/video of them together.Odrion said:
