McCain deserved to lose. He and Palin chose to use a divisive, racially motivated, hate filled rhetoric campaign strategy that showed the world, and the sane Americans, the worse side that America has to offer.
2:02 he sooooooo wanted to say american... AND I DONT BLAME HIM!!! THIS IS AMERICA!!! NOT KENYA!!!! MCCAIN MENT TO MESS UP ON SAYING THIS AND HE KNOWS IT!!!
Why is McCain rascist, b/c he's white? The color of someone's skin doesn't make them racist. If you can tell me exactly how he's racist, I could see your point. Also, you THINK you have won a good president...
John is very intelligent man. I wish he could come back to presidental elections. I don't care McCain is 80 or 90 years of age. Coward Clinton and lier Obama should take examples from him.
Idiot democrats do not understand anything. For a peace of medicine they putting the country upside down.
You are right. English is not my native language, but what my English language has anything has to do with my head. If you went to school you would not support Obama:-)
That's your primitive thinking. You believe that a man who does not speak English as much as Americans is uneducated. Did you know that many foreigners built your country?
I am not crying. This is about future of your country. If "overeducated" Americans understand how government runs and economics, they would not choose someone who does not understand basic economics. The White House became a training center for newly hired president. He learned from Republicans that government must cut taxes (today's news). Where is "change"?:-) B.O. already got problems with transparancy, but he always be the best because he is young, plays basketball and he is as cool as Clint
I'm interested to hear about your extensive experience running the economy of a nation of 300M people. Did not Obama run his entire campaign on the premise that he middle class should have a tax cut? The US Government has had 2 balanced budgets in the last 28 years. Who was the President that presided over both of them? Bottom line is this. It's not the political leaders that make America great, it is hard working, smart, educated people that don't sit and whine when their guy doesn't win.
I am not saying Obama is bad guy. Obama changed his plans and numbers every week, and I did not trust his professionalism. Actually, he supported tax increase. People always blame government when hard workers get lay off and stock market is down. You should blame company executives because they make wrong decisions. GM, Chrysler and Ford got taxpayers money from the Bush administration. Even though Bush hates bailouts, he sacrificed free market economy to socialism to keep quiet Obama supporters
How many times government has to help the big three? My ice cream business is running out of business. Does it mean that government has to take care of my business? The big three received financial assistance from government a couple of time. If they cant make quality cars and cant sell them, they should go out of business.
I support McCains plans because he wants to spend money for energy development. For example, France has 50 nuclear plants and does not depend on Middle Eastern countries. The bottom line is that why Americans should import energy from the countries that do not like you much. You should have your own energy and put American labor in that business. He also supported tax cuts to promote economy.
It is truly sad that someone of John McCains stature has his concession speech ruined by such rude hateful individuals.
John McCain has always seemed like an honorable man to me and to watch his supporters steal his final moment in the election by booing and yelling like blood thirsty animals is very upsetting.
There is losing, and then there is losing gracefully. He choose the latter, his supporters did not.
What a sneaky mother fucker he was. Just because he knew that people were fed up with the Republican party he tried to make himself seem more liberal by selecting a bitch as his VP. He knew damn well she wasn't the best qualified candidate for the position, but he thought it would win him some votes so he picked the stupid bitch anyways. Obama had integrity. He could have picked Hillary as his VP and gotten more votes by uniting democrats but instead he chose a better candidate: Biden.
He lost his own ELECTION I dont blame PALIN either. Hes the one that started acting like a child that had his bike stolen, pointing the finger, calling names & blaiming. Just very IMMATURE. OBAMA was obviously the better Candidate. It was so obvious OBAMA would win. I am glad that The (OBAMA) VOTERS that did not harbor the HATRED & IGNORANCE "out-numbered" the bitter RACIST BIGOTS that voted for McCain primarily because the man was "WHITE"! (you can hear them in the crowd)
The REPUBLICANS are just a group of RICH, SPOILED, SELF as #1 PRIORITY thinking & doing individuals! I thank GOD the DEMOCRATS are back in the office as the HOUSE MAJORITY. GOD has BLESSED AMERICA indeed with the ELECTION of PRESIDENT ELECT-OBAMA. This world was headed to a HORRIFYING end,ECONOMY is all fucked up, UNEMPLOYMENT is sky high, People are losing their homes & jobs, businesses going bankrupt, The ENVIRONMENT is all fucked up, we are at 2 WARS.
Dear god how I fear for the us the government is buying the banks, our president is talking about the redistribution of wealth,the government can tap our phones without a warrant and the government is violating the constitution. It's all starting to sound like 1984
you can tell John wasn't happy about the crowd booing Obama. His speech was the highlight of his campaign cos he knew that Obama won fair and square. The way his supporters acted during this campaign with the "terrorist" and "kill him" comments, they got what they deserved. Now they'll understand how we felt when they elected Bush, twice.
It took humility for McCain &he has my respect4 the speech alone.I hope his words were honest &sincere.He may have lost the election but he has gained a great President.I'm looking forward with hope that we can unite as Americans & do away with the pettiness that we 2 often when it comes down 2 politics. We can do better. The world is watching but more importantly,the children,the future leaders of the world.Let us each do our parts in building&maintaining unity&peace amongst our brethren.
I admire John McCain for conceding with such graciousness and humility. A little while ago, when the Canadian election took place, the leader of the liberal party just whined like a little baby, saying that the smear campaigns against him were mean and that's why he didn't win.
This speech is the best thing McCain's done. A pity then his campaign was so low and negative and reliant on personal slurs- a turn-off for many independents at a time of economic crisis. Perhaps Republicans may not be so willing from now on to fall back on their usual cynical tactics of fear + dirty tricks
I'm not American, and I'm not a McCain supporter... but this concession speech was extremely graceful. It makes me remember why he was nominated in the first place - John McCain is indeed a good man with good intentions. But he couldn't contend with Obama, who I believe will do great things for the USA. I have never been more proud of our neighbours to the south than I am today.
So, crossing the aisle in Congress is on from Republican to Democrat and not the other way around? Boy you are going to be in for a shock when our dollar gets crushed in the world market soon and we all live in Obamavilles like they did in the Depression under Herbert Hoover (Hoovervilles). Barack has a 10 Trillion debt hanging over his head, he's going to need ALL the help he can get to avoid national economic disaster on his watch.
That was a fucking racist speech. He made it sound like it was a victory for blacks. He won b/c he was a better canadate, not b/c of his skin color. McCain is from that era and I'm sure he truely believed that he wouldn't lose to a black guy. He placed too much weight on race and not on the fact that Obama's campain was better, he out perfomed him in the debates, and his principles were more for the people instead of for the rich. Sore loser. OBAMA 08!!!
There is no one on earth happier than losing this campaign, than John McCain. He knew he was being setup by the republican party, to take a fall, and all Palin to step in as President. John McCain is no fool.
In his defeat, he is assured that the Republican Party, along with Sarah Palin couldn't covertly betray him, as they have done to the United States of America. The speech he gave was indeed surprising, and it was definitely sincere.He called Barrack Obama (his) President.Lets move on!
I'm glad that McCain took this so well, and accepted his defeat gracefully. I am glad that Obama won the race, and I'm also glad it ended on such pleasant terms.
I am so proud of America today. The past IS now the past. Let's all move on. What a fantastic day to be a citizen of the world. Love to every single one of you. Johnny, Scotland
See how sad these republicans are, soar losers, they can learn something from the democrats on humility. They act as if Palin is someone of any national political value, she is truly not qualified. This is not a popularity contest, Palin's presence lost this election, poor choice Mccain. Lost credibility? How these people rally for Palin when she can't answer simple questions, doesn't know the issues or make a clear statement unless she is reading a prepared speech. PS Jesus does not exist.
LMAO, OH GOD I THINK IM GONNA DIE. Do you not remember how angry the dems where when gore lost to bush? Second VP is a ceremonial position all palin can do is cast the tie breaking vote in the senate.
nope, with control over the house, the senate, and now a democratic president, this country will not only not get out of the current recession, but drive itself so much deeper into the problem that we may never recover.
