McCain and Obama answer a question from Palin : What a VP is for?

[thesparitan]

why

[oicor2007]

obammmmmmmaaaaaaaaaa2008

[lonerook860]

True but there is an element of truth behind this comparison.

[mplebanon]

Uh, I disagree Barry Hussein. Uh, Joe Biden IS NOT READY to step in and be president. Obama said everyone would agree.........I DON'T. Biden is an idiot. Choosing Biden makes Obama Bin Laden an idiot. Voting for an idiot like Obama, makes those voters idiots.

[ianoop]

and how the F would you know what Joe Biden is capable of? you met him? you know him? stfu and keep your dumb comments to yourself.

[Hajboya3]

NO DOUBT!

you probably dont know the first thing to a presidential campaign. Go read a book or a newspaper. Stubborn little person.

Go meet Joe Biden before you just type crap.

And yes keep your comments to yourself.Please.

[KingJamesai3]

@mplebanon sarah palin is one of the worst candidates to be VP i could possibly think of. as sweet as she is, and how relatable it is that shes a hockey mom, she isnt remotely intelligent enough or prepared enough to possibly be president of our country

[adrieltube]

he said there were TWO things that they do...i'm SURE that he was finished.

[Msvessel]

OBAMA RULES!!!

[georgeh1231]

@Msvessel he is quite possibly the coolest president i have ever heard of

[innyopti]

Why won't Obama produce his birth certificate?? Too many unanswered questions for me to go along w/ the cool choice -as portrayed by the MSM.

Don't try to pay grade me into submission!

[Beamshipcaptain]

Obama will be our next president. He is winning the election handily, as McPain dropped out of Michigan with his forked-tail between his legs, out of money and ideas.

Look at how Obama handled the economic crisis, and look at McCain. I volunteer my free time for Obama, because the thought of anyone other than Obama and Biden in the White House is unthinkable. Obama is winning, Obama shall win!

[jst1998]

I always liked McCain, but the moment he picked Palin, he lost all credibility. How can anybody in his right mind think that Palin would be a great president?

America please stop voting morons into office!!!

We desperately need brains in the white house.

[thebigruski]

Although I understand this is a pro-Obama video...and I respect that...Obama is not really saying anything of substance at all.

[Zapadac]

Well, I guess asking about the health of the president everyday and going to the funerals of third world dictators is definitely something of substance.

[CreamyButta]

who cares he can say: innie, miney, minnie, mo! and it will still make more sense than what Bush , Palin and Mccain has said or ever will say.

Oh yeah and......

Obama sure is FINE!

[georgesisneros]

Compared to McCain and Palin?

[kraythe]

Well, the dems continue their history of parsing out half sentences and taking things out of context in order to perpetuate lies.

No surprise.

[ghezaet]

the Mccain's part looks as if it is cut off! but the truth is Mccain never gives a full answer to any question. and i dont think any body is interested in his explanation to what he said! his mind is shrinkin people give him a brake!

[JohnRaytheon]

lol obama only picked Biden to *try* and get pennsylvania..where all the bitter people live

[iancarpenter]

The credit agency MBNA actually renovated 'Joe Plastic Biden's' house fer' Christ's sake. The gave his son a $100,000 job! Read the NYTimes article on the net. Ill vote for knowledge, intelligence and compassion. Nader/ Gonzalez. Solid.

[foolish54]

Anybody ever heard of Hubert Humphrey?

[shonester]

Wonder why Biden said he's not ready to be VP about a year ago and said if anyone offered it to him he'd turn it down.

It's on youtube.

[Tippercanoe]

Do you really believe this, or are you trying to be facetious.

[shonester]

Raises the question...why is Obama at the top of the ticket?

[forrest2city]

tired of the racist crap. in 1960 john F Kennedy said in the next 48 years we will elect a "negro" president in the united states of America

[datzfast]

al gore can answer that question. he invented

the internet. then he went on to loose an election, then he caused global warming. then he got fat and won an award for peace. now he just remembers the good old days when he was the vice president and could have made a difference.

[CosmoHunter24]

Actually, Robert F. Kennedy said that, but point well taken! :)

[dasreven]

How about this: vote for Sarah Palin, Hot Sarah Palin for President and , I guess if your gay, (now gay Americans don't get mad, I mean no harm) a resonably attractive Barak Obama as vice president (let him know what it's like to be vice so he can define the roll better). Say what, you can't vote for a Repub President and a Demo Vice. Write in your vote, let's really shake things up!

[HemNtjrSeth]

Sarah Palin clearly did not pass American Government if she doesn't know what the VP does. The VP has two jobs: to break a tie in the Senate should there be one, and to take over as president should the president die. It's as simple as that. Anyone who doesn't know that doesn't deserve to be on a presidential ticket. Obama and Biden '08

[velvetredkitten]

I agree!

[LaoMinga]

@HemNtjrSeth Keep in mind that this video was set up and these speeches we're put together, and they're not reliable. Palin might have asked about something else, but hey, I wouldn't be angry to see Palin not qualify to the government, though.. The VP is mostly 70% as capable as the president him/herself, and can alone manage the government, if the president locks him/herself in the basement.

[909pleasantville]

Ive got your different perspective right here! Take it!

A $408 Billion with a "B" deficit, millions of cut jobs, millions of jobs sent overseas, from $1/gal gas to $4/gal gas, all of this from 8 years of Republicans. Do you want this to get worse? Dont vote Republican! Ever!

[Rambo6310]

McCain Palin 08!! Don't vote for Barry Soetoro, He lies

[Morcridx1]

i agree if Obama was White he still would have been praised as the next JFK.

it's always the racists fucks that think everyone else is racists.

[Frogger0neXx]

Just look at all these lame people thats voting for mCcain, theyll say anything at this point. Oh" obama record is not clear, he's maybe from Kenya" "Obama is a Muslim" He is a Super Liberal" German support Obama"

Just shut the fuck up with all the pity bullshits, and focus on the real isses. If these are the kind of supporter that McCain brings, and all the slander commercial that hes funding, then I vote for anyone besides the scandless community.

[NailGer]

This video is so damn stupid.

Why do you show the humorious part of McCain's answer only, and not the long version like you did with Obama?

Liberal censored bullshit!

[Frogger0neXx]

humorious my ass. I saw that full part on tv, and that was basically what Mccanisns answer was for a vice president question. You fucking people are so dumb it pisses me off. The hell with Liberals and the hell with right wing nuts, and do us all a favor and go swallow a knife you retard.

[GreyNation2008]

Heres an answer to your question... Because Mccain has been asked this question hundreds of times and every time he gives the same damn answer! Face it, John Mccain doesnt have a "critical thinking" bone in his body! His answer to every question is some simple minded rhetoric that, half the time, doesnt even answer the question he was asked. Maybe Mccain should educate himself on the issues instead of joking about everything.

[Morcridx1]

Nailger i never seen mccain answer this question other then the way he just did.

why else would he pick a someone who no one has never heard b4, but will help him get votes for HIM. He doesn't care if she can do the job... he thinks the job is a joke, an assistant's job.

[Tippercanoe]

Oh yeah, that must be why we have so many black Presidents cuz its soooeasy to be Black and the President of the United States.

[anyusmoon1]

Sorry if I used this issue along with a reference to 'fact' but, it is certainly going to be looked into and researched for factual basis as it is highly suspect:

watch?v=iBgkDSw-wQ0

[Psteezn18]

If Obama were a white man he would be praised as one of the greatest candidates since JFK

[JeovaNeto]

This video is a LIE!

McCain was quoted out of context. Clearly, he was talking about one of the american VPs.

[darliegoddess]

Brilliant !

[anyusmoon1]

Even though I'm for neither of these two 'shills' of the National Conventions, I agree.

But still, you gotta admit, this was damned clever. Still damned, but clever, no?

[phoenician7]

Obama hasn't spilt blood for this nation, he is no fighter. what a POS.

[natetiffcaly]

A HUGE majority of Americans have not "spilt blood" for this nation, are we all POS's, too?

[phoenician7]

No, but Obama has spilt innocent newborns blood.

[woodoven]

LANDSLIDE.

[Globeguy1]

Holy cliche answers...

[wn8955]

She's right the Vice President has no specific duties. The VP's duties are at the leisure of the President. Even presiding over the Senate is at the discretion of the President. Look it up. Google it.

Barack be a big boy. Don't be a Bush. Make your own decisions just like a governor does. Start writing your own speeches instead of having Jon Flaveau do them. Be your own man.

Show up to your job like a man. You have only shown up to work in the Senate 143 days since 2005.

[Salmo77]

Because you, assfuk, really think McCain writes his own speeches? Why dont you buy a brain at WalMart...or stfu?

[anyusmoon1]

Barack cannot be something he isn't; mature, experienced, cultured in American history, loyal to American history, knowledgeable about American history, appreciative of his mothers race along with his Dad's, side with Christianity if things get 'ugly' (as in his own words, he'll side with Muslims) AND last but not least, BE A NATURAL BORN AMERICAN- He was born in Africa.

[brainjuice00]

dude, he was born In Honolulu, HI.

[anyusmoon1]

For the record: I'm not saying I know proof positive because the investigation has not gotten underway; BUT the 'copy' Obama has produced, allegedly from the Hawaii birth registrar's office, has none of the features required for proof of authenticity. The video on the subject is quite compelling and deserves our attention.

It is quite likely he was born in Kenya.

[jpbalkenende]

I think Palin would be a disaster for this country. She and her husband were even members of the anti-American Alaskan Secessionist party! Akip.

"We want the VP to be a fruitfull position, especially for Alaska!"

-Sarah Palin CNBC 2008-

I think McCain when he's outside of campaign mode wants the best for his country. But clearl Palin's slogan is "country second" and with here having no experience at all anda heartbeat away from the presidency this would be a disaster.

[rw5791]

the media have got their noses so far up obama's crack I'm surprised they can even breath.

[oross12262]

What are Obama socialist policies? And where did you get this info.

I don't remember asking who you were going to vote for and don't really care who you are voting for....

There is something I have notice about McCain is when he is asked a tough question he tend to answer it with a joke. Like the answer he just gave about the role of a VP. I think he was really serious about the answer he gave. This man is out of it.....

Olin Ross

[SkylineTime]

wow, do you really want me to answer the question for you about McCain's socialist agenda or are you just trying to put on a superiority show here. I don't mind educating you, but if you are going to be rude. I won't waste my time.

[oross12262]

Yes, I want you to answer the question. Educating me are you jokester like your friend McCain. You are the one who need to be educated.

......

Olin Ross

[SkylineTime]

Ok little Olin, since you don't really know anything about the socialist you plan on voting for here is a video that you must watch. watch?v=vMatmRZZxVQ Please take your head out of the sand, Obama would be worse than Jimmy Carter and America definitely cannot afford another Jimmy Carter. Please research all the crap JC did in this country before you vote.

[TheRudeNews]

oross12262, It's called the Global Poverty Act.

It is one of his few accomplishments and it is socialism lite. You liberals who follow news know this and then you act like you never heard of this stuff.

Why do you guys vote for Obama if none of you know his legislation?

Glenn Beck and many other shows have covered it. Turn off MSNBC.

[SkylineTime]

Obama answered the question much better than McCain, but I am still going to vote for McCain Palin because I don't agree with Obama's socialist policies.

[fluidoz]

What socialist policies? Do you even know what the word "socialist" means, or do you just repeat slurs thrown about by the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly and the like?

[SkylineTime]

wow, do you really want me to answer the question for you about McCain's socialist agenda or are you just trying to put on a superiority show here. I don't mind educating you, but if you are going to be rude. I won't waste my time.

[fluidoz]

You wrote: "Obama answered the question much better than McCain, but I am still going to vote for McCain Palin because I don't agree with Obama's socialist policies."

I asked: "What socialist policies?"

You replied: "Do you really want me to answer the question for you about McCain's socialist agenda or are you just trying to put on a superiority show here."

So my new question for you is: Are you schizophrenic, or just unable to establish a consistent train of thought?

[SkylineTime]

Obama wants a redistribution of wealth. He wants businesses to pay more taxes and this will drive businesses overseas.

[fluidoz]

Actually, he wants tax breaks for companies that create jobs in the U.S. He also seeks to return those making over $250,000 per year to the same tax rate as under Clinton.

Allowing Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent of the population to expire, as originally intended, doesn't mean Obama's a "socialist". So "educate" me -- tell me how Obama's policies are "socialist".

[oross12262]

Thank you Obama. I concur with you about the role of the VP. I don't think anyone should be paid a salary for sitting around doing nothing.

When did McCain make those statements about the role of the VP?
