October 31, 2008: The Day in 100 Seconds

[kamak894]

You know he's not in a winning position when he says there's "11 or 12" must-win states. He really didn't pick up a single swing state except Missouri, which really should have been in the G.O.P.'s back pocket to beginwith!!!

[Anticommunists4Obama]

A close election? Check out the clip by Musicians4Obama and pass it on

[sean89109]

BREAKING NEWS. The Dems already picked the

OFFICIAL SONG FOR OBAMAs INAUGURATION:

Obama-So help me god. (watch?v=c4f5noeDZdc).

[stafax]

Micheal was always a kid's figure though, like an adult, male version of Hannah Montana. And there's no question that he's mentally ill. He's probably stuck in some state of mind in which he feels like a kid, but still sees himself as a figure for the kids.

[Anticommunists4Obama]

Not a close election again!!! Find out why you should be very concerned at Musicians4Obama, and pass it on!

[vajkay]

sarah palin is a hypocrite. if you live in alaska, you get $3000 per person annually for nothing. that's what you call spread the wealth.

[nahalala]

haha oh my, at 1:20 when McCain says "Or" it is amazing, hilarious.

[HHH100]

Hey Obama, why are you going to tell all Americans "who" they can give charity too? Why do you want government to choose and force charitable giving to organizations you select? Oh, and why are you going to take food out of my babies mouths in the form of taxes? Why?

[LDJXFL]

If your concern is putting food in your babies' mouths, Obama's tax plan will give you more money, not less.

If by babies' mouths you mean gasoline for your stable of Ferraris and your yachts...fair enough, you might have more money to burn, roll around in, and throw in the air with McCain.

But plenty of wealthy people support Obama because they understand the people who truly are having a hard time feeding their family need a break more than they do.

[halfass0369]

HHH100=TROLL

[B0BGE0RGE]

"who's counting?"

"pretty much everyone"

LMAO!

[truemanchu]

i've heard that obama is going to give pedophiles free trips to disneyworld... is that the kind of man you want as a leader?? i'm a trained psycologhist, and i can tell that hussain obama's caracter is basicaly socialistic and mulim. do you really want an affirmative action candidate for president? he wants to detroy israel like his friend achmadinnajad and give all the jobs to the blacks.

[ottopotomas]

Wow, you even spelt your own occupation wrong.

Definitely validates your comment.

[ruanda]

Great job! It actually gives you a feeling for all the goof that went on in a day.

[crazystu1]

I don't think Republicans know what Socialism is. Just a big scary word to scare people.

[LauraInNevada]

Socialism will NOT make American stronger.  Vote McCain.

[laleeloolelo]

You said: "Socialism will NOT make American stronger."

Gee then how come America able to win WW2 when SOCIAL SECURITY already implemented?

[eikacj]

don't hope for a stronger America, vote for one

Obama

[dmelkumo]

no sound?

[GretchenDawntreader]

Also...Colin Powell, Eagleberger, everyone who criticises Palin, McCain says "Well...they haven't met with her they have no valid opinions."

Palin hasn't met with or interviewed Obama, but she feels free to make terrible statements about him at every one of her rallies.

Applying McCain's own rationale, Palin's opinions about Obama are not valid.

[GretchenDawntreader]

Eagleberger: "Did I mention I was sorry for admitting that Palin was not ready for VP? I'm mean, I'm really, really sorry, to Fox News, to everyone really. I mean look, I just wet myself in submission like a puppy. Please keep John from hitting me."

[LauraInNevada]

You think a lousy $3,000 tax credit will make employers create new high-paying (or even minimum-wage-paying jobs)???  This was tried before. A $10,000 tax credit (up to 50% of the total wages paid) didn't even work. Obama's suggestion that this will work has already been proven wrong. He's lying to you, America. Obama wants to buy votes for himself with YOUR paycheck. Obama will cost jobs and prosperity. He is CLUELESS about the economy.

[GretchenDawntreader]

do you think paying slightly higher taxes in the 250k+ range is going to stop people from wanting to make lots of money?

There's a 527 group running an ad in Ohio with some (actor) saying he wanted to enlarge his business by 30 or 40 people but wouldn't if Obama was in office.

Really? Gonna pass up making a lot more money because your tax rate might be 3% higher? Srsly, and I'm supposed to believe that?

It's such bullshit the McCain campaign and surrogates are slinging.

[LauraInNevada]

Gretchen, you don't understand business. Hiring 30-40 more people is a RISK. There's no guarantee it will generate more money. It may result in a loss. Why take the RISK at all, if the reward will put you in a new tax bracket, resulting in a net loss? If you are going to expand your business, do it by outsourcing at 1/3 the risk. Then, if the extra employees DO pay off, you make a much bigger return. Duh. Obama's plan will ABSOLUTELY cost jobs and slow the economy.

[laleeloolelo]

You said: "Obama's plan will ABSOLUTELY cost jobs and slow the economy."

I'm confident that it will not.

Don't you remember when Clinton RAISED TAXES back in 1993?

Did the economy slow?

Did the jobs go?

If anything the 90s under Clinton RAISED TAXES is remembered as times of PROSPERITY.

[Docthewrench]

actually there is really no way we can replace all the jobs that have been lost in the auto industries, the days of a line worker making 40 bucks a hour and being uneducated is LONG GONE. I myself have to be schooled out my ass to work on cars, line works dont even know how to speak english or even read. I have to fix the JUNK they messed up putting together. I always will have a job makimg good money, but my schooling backs me up. I run my own business no sharing my wealth EVER

[laleeloolelo]

You said: "I run my own business no sharing my wealth EVER."

If you make LESS THAN $250,000 then you don't need to worry.

If anything under Obama's tax plan you'll be eligible for TAX CUT.

[Godwill3]

time of heaven on earth

[LauraInNevada]

Oh, you won't be kissing your RAISE goodbye with Obama ... you'll be kissing your JOB goodbye. But it's worth it, right? It will be more fair, right?

[bombmk]

If you can explain how giving the people that spend money more money between their hands, so they can buy the goods that requires jobs to be produced (and vice versa) will result in less jobs - be my guest.

If noone can buy a GM car, what does it help GM to have more money?

[mikeleeross]

Most employers cant afford to give Health Care, Tax them more, I guess i can kiss my raise good by.

[LauraInNevada]

Here's your 100 seconds ... Obama raises income taxes on employers and jobs are lost. Obama raises social security taxes (but not benefits), and middle class paychecks are cut, Obama raises capital gains taxes and the stock market crashes, real estate prices plunge further, and retirement plans shrink. Obama raises taxes on corporations and they leave the U.S. -- taking jobs and 100% of their tax revenue with them. Woo-Hoo! Paradise! Now things are "Fair". We're all poor.

[Mychaels]

Paranoia will destroy ya. OK so if the middle class gets a tax break they can afford to buy more items. Therefore the economy will be stronger. If corporations think they will have it better in another country then fuck em I will buy them a one way ticket. We are talking about the United States of America. We will not be afraid any longer cause we won't kiss big businesses ass. Stick with Mccain. I have no need for your fear mongoring. We will take back what is ours!!

[bombmk]

Except for the fact that Obama will provide a tax credit for the companies that creates jobs in the US. And if you reciece social security you are most likely in the tax bracket that will see the biggest tax cut of all.

And if Obamas plan is so bad for the stock market, its funny how Wall Street generally has no problems with him.

[bombmk]

Oh, and tax on income does not harm the ability to hire people. Unless you plan to hire workers that do not provide you with increased profits.

You are not taxed for expenditures, which should be basic knowledge.

Stop believing the lies and think for yourself.

[plasticshadows]

I'm sorry, but your party put us in this position. As such, you have absolutely zero credibility when it comes to a wide variety of issues. If it seems like no one is listening to reason, its just because no one wants any part of yours. It's like listening to someone who totalled 4 or 5 cars lecturing someone on how to drive. Watch. And learn.

[oscargurses]

"what is the must win state for you, since your behind right now"

--- yeah, very independent journalism

[31337STER]

stating a fact is fun! :D

[Kythma]

I'm not voting for either. Vote 3rd party. Neither of these guys will CHANGE anything.

[mikeleeross]

3rd party is the way to go.

[dkkght]

I am voting for Barack Obama, a friend today told me he is gonna give me money to pay off my house, he's gonna put gas in my car too. I need some info on where I can get some o dat college and health mony also. I wonder when he is gonna give out the Exxon mney or is dat part of dat 500 bucks he is gonna give me. Lordi Thank God fo' Barck Obama.

Now dat is change I can surely beieve in, why didnt they do dis sooner? And Mcain is not gonna give me anything.

[JAD3574]

You're an idiot. You must be one of those caucasian voters with high school degree or drop out!!!

[missycop133]

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 !!!

[alwaysblackfriday]

SNL material: McCain's 2nd Day As President

Haaaa haaaa haaaaa (incl Sarah, caribou, and the kids - no Todd)

It's at blogspot, look for blogger brandnewcitizen (it's not me, relax)

[Licmycat]

LOL! Happy Halloween!

[pa6xylly]

i love these videos so much it's scary.

[bleunt]

Thriller is so well produced it's scary.

[lezxotic]

"If Palin is the face of the GOP in the coming years, then Democrats will hold power for the next 24 years."

LMAO SO Glad that I voted Early!

[REDGHOST8888]

(CNN) — Former Reagan chief of staff Ken Duberstein told CNN's Fareed Zakaria this week he intends to vote for Democrat Barack Obama on Tuesday.

Duberstein said he was influenced by another prominent Reagan official - Colin Powell - in his decision.

"Well let's put it this way - I think Colin Powell's decision is in fact the good housekeeping seal of approval on Barack Obama."

Powell served as national security advisor to Reagan during Duberstein's tenure as chief of staff.

[RepresentativeEAB]

If Palin is the face of the GOP in the coming years, then Democrats will hold power for the next 24 years.

[voyeurdug]

OR - (halloween eeeek) - Sarah the Prez.

That's enough to make me go AIP.

[eljefereal]

That line is so good on so many levels

[whoo689]

Lol! McCain just said Palin is hte face of the GOP now. Oh, god. If that's true, the party's truly finished. Bring back the Whigs.

[namnack]

wat een land, je zal er maar wonen...

[lthelementl]

Haha I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. I'm scared as shit that it is very possible to the old bag to croak and Palin becoming President. ITS SCARY AS FUCK!

[mvertigo16]

i CAN'T believe she didn't wear the thriller jacket when walking up to the stage to the thriller song!! if i were republican, i would be so outraged!

[CliveSinclairZX]

Hahaha, introduced to thriller.

Wow.

This is insane.

[waynier13]

I voted early for Obama!

[raelAlan]

same here i voted by absentee ballot for obama im in the philippines. so if i can do it you guys in the US have no escuse not to vote!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!

[sharinganclan213]

i liek the olde michael. he was much more normal, and i think we can all agree on that!

[2004JETTA]

4 more days until this madness is over

[jm960]

Can't she afford a babysitter?

[stafax]

Honestly, I find it stupid how so many people talk shit about Micheal Jackson, and then people use his song and dance. People need to make up their fucking minds, whether they're going to call him a pedo and talk shit or they call him the king of pop.

[eljefereal]

OJ Simpson was a great runningback, doesn't mean we just forget about that whole glove business.

[stafax]

But Micheal not only was proven not guilty, but there was never any solid evidence showing that he is guilty. Yes he has mental issues and is sick, but nothing proves that he's a pedophile. Big difference between MJ and OJ.

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

"I" EARLY VOTED!!

[comoxj]

Palin for Prez!

[integral]

"The face of the Republican party"? Palin?

Jeez, that must send shivers down the spine of the portion of the Repubs who actually think.

[ErickKing91]

Great Video!!!

[masterhook]

Yes John "OR"! I know I am going to be out on the 4th to see that "or" happens and "that one" moves into the white house.

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

thriller? lol wtf!!

[oppesdaman]

I'm proud to have early voted for Barack Obama and the rest of the Democratic ticket in this election! I voted early in Florida!

[sleonardelli]

oppesdaman: same here!!!!! :-)

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

ME TOO!! I EARLY VOTED IN CALi!!

[persiarising]

Evil wears Prada ...

[LorenzKamo]

i hate halloween

[srhabb]

The only way McCain can win is if he cheats like Bush did 4 years ago.

[grenadianmed]

"I think so, as Vice President, or.....OR!!!..."

McCain basically revealled that he is thinking about what they'll do when defeated, particularly Palin.

[thisisgraffiti]

To me it sounded like when he thought about her running for president he was a bit scared of the notion.

[blacmob]

lol @ McCain "Who's Counting?" Uh, Everyone

[Tman222]

LOL Barack! :30 "I don't disagree with John McCain on everything, I respect his occasional displays of independence.."

[Integraalhelm]

LOL @ Eagleburger

[Peacenik]

great series! tpm does good work

[shplane]

thriller, how appropriate, i mean she scares the fuck outta me

[jw2par]

I love these videos

[doctorfunky1]

[Tuthill99]
