  • shut the fuck up! like being controlled? :)

  • i would ve expected some comments about joe biden's close relations with the armenian and greek lobby in the states. Stick to your roots cenk

  • Wolf Blitzer has nothing to worry about with these 2 dudes.

  • gotta change your name man. nobody will give your offensive name legitimacy.

  • Nothing says change like a man who has been in congress since Carter was in the White House.

  • Obama's money is his FAMILY's money, so what right does he have to spend his family's money on a stranger he just met. If you found out you had a half sibling living in poverty would you drop everything and start shelling out your family's funds on someone you don't even know?

  • So what you're saying its OK for Obama to keep his money & not help out a family member?

    But the McCain's are such bad people with their 7 houses (of which at least 4 are investment properties & 1 that her Aunt lives in).

    Obama knows a bit about having investment property also,does the name TONY REZKO ring any bells?

  • as bestlifebiz said, "Obama has NO obligation to take care of every sub-human vermin his trashy father spawned. Relatives come from everywhere when one makes it big."

    Secondly, I never said anything about Mccain's houses, but that doesn't make him a bad person, just someone who's completely out of touch. It's like he doesn't recognize 90% of USA: The Middle Class.

    And Tony Rezko has HIS problems, not OBAMA's, so how is that even relevant? Rezko's not gonna be anywhere near the White House...

  • Obama has NO obligation to take care of every sub-human vermin his trashy father spawned.

    Let 'em take care of themselves!

    You'll notice something when you study color'ds: when one makes it big, relatives seem to come from everywhere.

    It takes a man of character to let go of the false notion that it becomes his burden to shoulder the weight of others.

    Fuck That!

  • We're SUNK! This was a poor choice. Biden is annoying and dishonest. He will bring down Obama BIG TIME.

    And that fake hair....

    Anyway, there was a reason Biden never broke out of single digit polling. We're all just FUCKED.

    Somebody has to say it.

  • well, i'd say that i don't want my tax dollars bailing out a state built on a fault line. but i actually do. california is part of america, and therefore it deserves a part of my tax dollars if there's a disaster there.

  • was secretly funding terrorism. Its sad but Obama's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't with republicans

  • So i guess you have obama's checking account number and routing number and has seen every wire sent and recieved since he met his half brother. Wow your good. Maybe he sent money from the Commerce account instead of the Wachovia/ or maybe he sent from the PNC account. how do you know him and his brother didnt have a falling out. how do you know if he offered and his brother said he didnt want it. Please lets not make assumptions. Even if he did send his brother money republicans would say he

  • Oh, ok says the person who condemned Obama for not wanting to send his FAMILY'S money to a STRANGER in Africa he just met. Don't use double standards. And proof?

    youtube (dot) com/watch?v=GEtZlR3zp4c

    obviously didnt look hard enough

  • That's not the point! The point is John McCain said that during Katrina, he was on the ground helping those who lost everything they had.... HE WAS LYING.

  • ANYBODY BUT BUSH for President!!!!!!!!!!

    Obama, McCain, MY LEFT TESTICLE... it doesn't matter!!!

  • Don't kid yourself, it matters!

  • I have no doubt that the McCain campaign had attack ads in hand for every conceivable VP pick. We need a leak now like after Germany, so we can see all the different attacks side by side (for those who don't follow, turned out McCain had an attack ad ready whether Obama visited that hospital or not.)

  • lmfao

  • Electing McCain simply because he is white

    And turning down Obama simply because he is half Black would imply a return to the years of segregation.African Americans and other minorities have elected White canditates for centuries .This election will be a real test.

    Is America truly a nation or a mix up of incompatible Communities ,that might end up falling apart like Soviet Union

    And Yougoslavia?

  • If I was obummer,I'd have picked Bucket head as my running mate.

  • Nor the corrupt president of the Bush kingdom.

  • lol glad you are so excited

  • That's the person Jonny married. What type of character is that when you marry someone who could do that. How much would it cost Cindy to change her half sisters lives. She's worth $100+ Million. Do you think she could part with one? $1/2 Million each to two half sisters that make $50K per year would change their lives without affecting Cindy at all. Never mind John left his injured wife and kids for that anyway. What a great couple you want to be the first family. Very sympathetic and in touch.

  • It's hard to believe that American people

    would prefer to elect a Republican

    (Sick,old,boring,war addicted man)again

    after 8 years of hell simply because they

    want a white man in charge. With more and more

    Latinos and other minorities coming in,

    how long is that going to hold?

  • Trust me american people are full of suprises, they would vote for John McCain this Novemember and then they will be like " it wasnt us the conservatives did it " didnt they vote for Bush TWICE one in 2000 other in 2004 so what do you expect from them !!

  • What about Cindy's 2 half sisters?  Last year was the first one Obama hit over a million. Give it a rest.

  • Thanks to an election.

  • Then I guess you feel the same about the McCains. Cindy's Half sisters were given only $10,000 each of her fathers money and Cindy got $100 Million. She didn't kick them a few hundred either.

  • yeah!!!!!! i live in delaware joe biden is the man

  • Obama choice of VP is BRILLIANT !

    Hillary Supporters completely support this -

    I should know I am her biggest fan. However,

    Democrats need to WIN. Republicans would have

    crucified her all the way until November and after the election - Just like they have been doing for the past 16 years.

    Joe Biden is the smartest, most experienced,

    well liked person in Congress.

    THIS IS AN UNBEATABLE DREAM TICKET

    OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 !

  • @ladylike1980 Obama has turned out to be a huge disappointed. He ran on the platform of "change" but their has been no change.

  • "cheek biscuit" mccain is finally being exposed for who he really is: hypocrite,opportunist,flip-flo­pper,hot-headed,senile,incompe­tent. He never earned anything on his own. He is a POW "survivor" not a "HERO"!! I live in AZ and he is worthless.

  • You forgot one of the stupidest in his graduating class.

  • cheek biscuit mccain has never accomplished anything on his own. and POW is not the answer to serious questions.

  • the incredible....

    BBbreaking NNNnews!!!!!!!!

    priceless

  • As a Proud Democrat i can't believe how stupid and naive The Democratic Party really is. Joe Biden doesn't bring dick to the ticket, He can't even bring in 1 God Damn state and he has a very bad habit of putting his foot in his mouth. Hillary Clinton could have brought 18 MILLION votes. The only thing Joe Biden is good for is being a attack dog and all the Republicans have to do is egg him on, its guaranteed that Biden will say something stupid and Obama will have to throw him under the bus.

  • You're not a "proud democrat", you're just another person McCain PAYS to spread hate & deceit on the internet. Any "proud democrat"- or any independent or republican for that matter- can see how incredibly awesome this selection is. Biden is a terrific person with an amazing record. A Perfect fit! Another great decision by Obama & a WIN for the democratic ticket.

    This PROUD DEMOCRAT cannot be happier. Keep trying to spin it though since you have nothing positive to say about THE REAL McCAIN.

  • John McCain is Cindy's bitch.

    Reporter: Senator McCain, how many homes do you own.

    John: Oh... um...

    Cindy: I can answer that. None. They're all MINE. Now John, suck my dick.

    John: Yes, mother. Om om om om om om...

  • Thanks for ignoring my question on what change Obama brought to the Democratic party already. I knew you wouldn't have a clue. As for Obamas half brother, if Obama is so socialist, maybe he's waiting to become president so he can send him you're money.

  • Insufferable douche bags.

  • "And by the way, every recession in American history has been under a republican president, while the economy has been most successful under a democratic president."

    FDR turned a recession into the Great Depression. The seeds were sewn during the Wilson administration. Few people realize that FDR simply expanded on Hoover's ill-conceived policies. FDR flip-flopped on all his campaign promises for "change."

  • Obama must have wanted to set everyone's mind at ease who suspected he was not actually a war hawk interventionist. Biden voted for the Iraq resolution. His only complaint about the invasion was that Bush should have sent more troops. Biden's legislation established the "Drug Czar" for the costly and futile War on Drugs, and increased penalties or created new penalties for related victimless crimes.

    You wanted CHANGE. Instead you can now just HOPE the country survives the next four years.

  • And by the way, every recession in American history has been under a republican president, while the economy has been most successful under a democratic president. Just throwing that out there. You, sir need to quit addressing petty faults with the strongest candidate and bring up some issues that don't make you sound like a whining 10-year-old brat.

  • John McCain has also said that the economy is in great condition. Really? Gas is 4.12 a gallon, homes are rapidly depreciating in value, and the economy is in a recession all while John McCain gives Bush a pat on the back for a job well done. In 1993, John McCain wanted to pull troops out of Iran, because it puts America in more danger not to. Now, he claims just the opposite.

  • John McCain is also a blatant liar, changing his mind constantly about topics such as THE TAX CUTS. Did he vote for them or against them? Nobody knows because he wont tell the truth and constantly changes his answer. He lied. He lied about his economic experience when he has none. He lied about his whereabouts during Hurricane Katrina. He lied about his foreign policy.

  • Secondly, if you really want to talk about personal family affairs, look at John McCain, who's had a nasty divorce due to his domestic violence and alleged abuse. As a result, he has attended many anger-management classes and was even arrested for assult.

  • You really need to get over yourself, kiddo. First of all, what you brought up earlier has almost no real relevance in the political race, and, like staxx111 said, you're doing nothing but fishing. John McCain is not for the people of America, he's for Companies, companies that have already paid him money for his campaign. Not only does he now owe these companies a favor, but he puts the average American in jeopardy.

  • And what exactly are you trying to prove anyway? Are your arguing that Sen. John McCain is "more kind" and "more generous" than Sen. Obama? LOL. Just stop it. Please.

  • Well first of all, Obama's not a rich blowhard in the interest of big budget companies like sen. John McCain. The amount of money he can send is closer to the amount of money you would send to your long-lost half-brother. Secondly, Barack's father left his family a long time ago, and after his death, he lost most communications with his family in Africa.

  • What do you care? You probably don't think Obama represents change in government anyway. Although he's already brought change to the democratic party, you don't even know how. Get over yourself.

  • I hope he tears McCain apart verbally!!!

  • No matter who he picked the Republicans would be ready for an attack ad. Accually I think Biden was a good pick. If he had picked someone that had not been in Washington long Republicans would have blasted Obama saying both of them dont have experiance. You know I herd that he considered Hillary. Up until this thing came out that Hillary was going to realese an ad that said Obama wasent American enough to be President. I guess Hillary thinks unless your white you have no right to the White House

  • He's talking about Biden.

  • It's hard to imagime bring any meaning full change in how government works with two outsiders. Anyone can see that in order to get anything to happen you would need someone on the inside with some credentials.

  • Biden is worth -$300 000. He is the working class white man. this foreign policy issue is overblown.

    McCain will be terrible for our foreign policy. I just pray Obama wins. This warmongering in Iran by McCain is crazy

  • He was sucking up the sand and snowboarding as well.I wonder what he would do if we got attacked again!!My guess:Take off to Hawaii!

  • You're a fucktard.

  • Of course McCain dove head first into the Russia/Georgia conflict. After all, Randy Scheunemann, McCain's top foreign policy adviser, was a Georgia lobbyist.

  • Way to ignore the point. Although it's understandable that people don't want to try to explain why the person they're supporting is making major decisions based on what lobbyists tell him to say. But when you've got someone that's incredibly blood thirsty for war like McCain, it probably doesn't take too much pushing on the lobbyist part.

  • I believe the best pick from the standpt of being elected would be Clinton.

    But Biden is certainly extremely bright, so not a bad pick.

  • Clinton is a joke, she lost the primary, thats indication enough. Not to mention that Bill would be back.

  • Or you just can't get your facts right.

  • I love the fact people put down comments that are historically accurate. I guess people can't handle the facts. - Pr0SEAL

    No. it's just your bullshiting.

  • You must be half-retarded. Let me spell it out for you. People who vote in delegations are American, and live in, Guess what?, The United States of America.

    Go back to school you ignorant weeble.

  • Your too ignorant to have a decent conversation with. Your mindless insults get you nowhere, and I don't give a shit what education level you CLAIM you have. Judging by your lack of basic common sense it was money wasted. Im done.

  • OBAMA/BIDDEN 08

    4 more years of GWB would destory the core of America

    OBAMA/BIDDEN 08

  • I am my brothers keeper

  • Nothing wrong with protecting America.

    The problem is we should be hunting down those "pseudo-patriot" right-wing, Republicunt, Neo-conservative ASSHOLES in this administration who have ruined this country, big time as well.

  • This is going to kill our chances. Biden is a poor choice. He is not liked cause of always putting foot in mouth. Mccain now clear sailing to WH

  • Sad that you think that people would vote based on a VP pick over policies...

    Then again people voted Bush, twice.

  • When it comes to discussing current kitchen table issues, John McCain won't be able to recall which of his 7 kitchen tables.

  • the mccain right loons campaign are livid as they aint got nuting on mccain

  • McINSANE againsts Obama and Biden.

    Watch how the Republican Neo-cons go ballistic and jump around more insane than ever.  LOL.

  • He said the INTERNETS(plural) Good job, now bash Bush some more.

  • On September 9, 2001, Joe Biden was on Meet The Press arguing that our biggest threat was from terrorism while the Bush/McCain administration was arguing for trillions more for Star Wars.

    He was right then. He is right now.

  • Damn! I was hoping for Kucinich or Nader for Vice President. Biden is a bore.

  • Sorry, but Nader has made it clear he would not go into any of the major parties for office of any sort.

  • Its funny how John Mccain issued an "attack ad" in less time than it took for him (and his staff) to answer the simple question, "how many homes do you own?" What corpse of a JOKE mccain is! In the words of Ivan Drago... "Mccain, You will lose!" I will bet my "only" house on it!!!

    Also shows Obama being more of a leader than Mccain. Simply by selecting his running mate first. Now Mccain can do what he was born to do.... FOLLOW the leader! lol

    OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

  • Does he not have a protective detail already as a Senator? I'm not sure how it works.

  • Obama made an excellent choice!!

  • This race should be very interesting.

  • wow your voice is annoying

  • obiden 08  Im a replican cant wait till nov... mcbush u might as well drop out of the race....

  • Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!!

  • Half his life in the US Senate - Change You Can Believe In - LOL

  • Pr0Seal: The fact that you made the inane comment about Joe Biden's 'no brains on foreign' statement reveals your lack of knowledge. Foreign affairs experience is 1 of his true strengths.

    McCain is extremely wealthy & totally out of touch with the common man. Period.

    @Melhex: Agreed. Experience is Biden's forte. So vote Obama/Biden FTW!!!!!

  • another proof that Obama is far from being an anti-war candidate.

  • We need You Joe. Greatest possible choice, Well Done

    After John McCain and his surrogates have called Obama almost every disgusting name in the book from Anti-Christ to Hiltler like we have a tough won't take any garbage from the Republican's partner.

    Remind Obama you are running for President/Vice President not Miss Congeniality

    Time to attack not to be attacked.Don't wait to counterpunch or only fire when fired upon time to play offense

    Well done, Welcome Mr. Biden

  • Fandom can often delude.

    Hillary's ardent supporters were mistaken in convincing themselves that the winner of the primary had an obligation to place her on the ticket as VP. Not.

    Obama had the decision to select a candidate that could best insure his victory in November. Hillary has Clinton baggage as well as limited political experience obtained on her own. If you are counting her First Lady experience, it DOES NOT count.

    Hillary felt ENTITLED - but she was not.

  • As far as delaying the VP choice. Well... it. Was. brilliant! It captivated the media who couldn't stop talk enough about it. The public was mesmerized. Barack's enemies (Republicans) were anxious & fuming. And 1 of the biggest positive observations was that the Obama team had such discipline in maintining the secrecy of the decision over several days. That bodes for a tight, top-notch Obama adminstration.

  • Obama is the first clean black man. That's what Biden said

  • So what? Your point is what? Im not mad about it...

  • 18 million supporters should not be mad than especially about the EXPERIERNCE debate cause we all know BIDEN has more than Hillary and MCCAIN, so i guess you better vote for OBAMA/Biden ticket..LMAO!

  • Well keep supportin McSANE and his 30 man rallys, he sure has alot of people there, i dont think MCCain can get people to listen to his boring speeches, well at least we know he cant get 77'000 to sit through his boring speeches..

  • Obama BORING? you are backwards, you must be a disgruntled hillary supporter, this is what you can do for her instead of complainin why she is not the VP, go ahead and help her by paying off her debt for staying in the race so long for people such as yourself..

  • Maybe since you are a hillary supporter you too should HELP pay off her debt, since you seem to be expressin concerns about her well being, Obama needs to focus on other things with his new VP...Real talk

  • Pr0SEAL: Trust you? Who the fuck in their right mind would trust a troll like you? Pathetic.

  • Terrible pick. I think Obama has basically given up. He picked a man who voted FOR the war, said he wasn't ready for president, and is a walking gaffe machine who has been in office since NIXON was president!

    Change. yeah right. GREAT pick pal.

  • So who was he supposed to pick who didnt support the war that would of been a good choice? Since you mad about the pick, Who?

  • Bayh

    Nunn

    Pelosi

    Kaine

    But Biden? C'mon. Didn't he plaguarize some british speeches too? You have to admit he could have done MUCH better.

  • All four of them you picked Republicans will have a field day on, do your research on the candidates you picked and compare them to Biden will give you your answer...Geez

  • What? Biden plaguarized speeches for heavens sake! He's a walking gaffe machine. Heck McCain ALREADY has an add out about it, showing his criticism of obama as possible president and praising McCain - do YOUR research! GEEZ.....

  • Wow wasnt that ad in 2005 with biden praisin McCain i think it was..LOL Wow how years can change how people are and MCCain aint the same....LMAO! Do your research ...LMAO LMAO!!!!

  • Are you delusional? The comments were from the presidential debate. You DO remember them don't you? LMAO! So the next ad will be "so which Biden should we believe - the one who supported McCain, or the one who now supports Obama? Which statement was true senator?" You know that's coming. Keep your head in the sand. LMAO!!!!

  • Another dumb comment by breakfastready apparently you didnt have any breakfast today..Theres one from the debate and one from a conversation in 2005, you dont know anything do you..LMAO! The McCain people put that edited AD like that to fool dumbasses such as yourself...LMAO! LMAO! Apparently are effective too......LOL Same ole tactics still work on people like you......

  • I know that. Biden said those things. Are you saying he didn't mean it? Which Biden are we to believe then? Are you that naive?

    You are grasping at straws my friend.

    Next you will be claiming that it was a CGI'd biden in the ad!! LMAO! Ignore the facts. Brainwashing still works on people like you. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • breakfastisready is still without eating, well who do you believe? MCCain? I dont care about past comments, now is what im lookin at..I guess you love past brainwashing, as far as im concerned, you can sit your ass on the sidelines and watch the two candiates get in the whitehouse and and try to fix this economy, but i guess like McCAin said the economy is strong and you believe that....LMAO!!

  • Of COURSE you don't care about past comments when it comes to your democrats - they are proving too inconvenient and troubling!

    But you hang on to republican comments like a drowning man!!!! LMAO!!!!!!

  • breakfastisready you still at it again, evidently you a republican supporter, thanks again for voting, im sure the economy and so called war is enough to keep everybody happy, since your party is such a failure at everything, tell your republican friends the troops have donated more money to Obama than MCSANE, what the hell does that tell you...LMAO!

  • I'm suprised YOU are still at it! You are still trying to string together a coherent argument.

    Good luck with Hussien Obama - he's toast.

  • breakfast: Go back to GOP troll central and report your mission has failed. Outted and owned. Sucker.

  • So Bush on his own invaded Iraq for oil? Oil is $120 barrel fool. Gas is $4 and you make wacky statements like that? We now have 3 Senators from the 9% approval Congress running for the White House. America, we should demand better qualified NON Politician leaders. These men have never shown leadership and you want them for leaders? Their resumes a weak and would get an interview for middle management.

  • Watch the film, "Waco: The Rules of Engagement," and see what an idiot Joe Biden is...

  • Elitist? LOL

    Let's talk about a certain candidate with so many houses, he can't keep track!

    Let's discuss a certain candidate who thinks that rich begin at 5 MILLION DOLLARS!!

    I suppose that means the multitude of us at 4,999,999.99 & below are at least MIDDLE-CLASS??

    Talk about elite!!! That's your guy, John McCain who is worth $100 MILLION DOLLARS!!

  • There was no betrayal to Hillary in the Joe Biden selection. It was a well thought out decision by Obama & the Obama team. True Democrats whether Hillary supporters or not & Independents who are progressive will align with the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama FTW IN 2008!

    As far as the 'lobbyist/funding/Obama' statement of ignorance, which is an oxymoron, there will be no response from me.

  • Pr0Seal: I think what you are attempting is clever wording. But, in terms of this multi-years ongoing Iraq battle, the senate has, will & must continue to support our troops with weapons, etc., which requires funding by the U.S. taxpayers.

    This is all courtesy of the Bush adminstration which invaded a country for purposes of obtaining/controlling the OIL RESERVES.

  • Pr0Seal: You know what, I have no interest in bashing Hillary here. This is about Obama/Biden in '08!

    Also, saying 'Obama funded the war' is a very NON-TECHNICAL statement.

  • He didn't betray any hillary voters...everyone has known for months that hillary wasn't the choice. she wouldn't take it anyway because she has a chance to be governer of new york

  • Betrayed hillary supporters? OMG when will the hillary supporters shut the hell up, she lost she tarnish her opportunity by her negativity and her lies. I wouldnt of pick hillary either she is power hungry...Obama/Biden 08 And yes he has MORE experience than hillary and MCCain..Take that!!!!LMAO!

  • hillary?

    who's hillary?

    noone remembers that name anymore

  • LMAO! Man aint that the truth!

  • You have your head in the sand my friend.

  • Psh, the media boarded her train years back when she took NY, right about the time you jumped the bandwagon.

  • What state would that be?
