Countdown: Special Comment June 30, 2008 Part 2

[hesright7]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­......you lose keith, again

[darkally]

Well put, I hope Obama watches Countdown!

[iamtheboha]

Even if Obama is doing political backpedaling and some flip-flopping, I'm still voting for him. McCain has flopped on nearly every important issue since he started running for president. Anything is better than more of the same.

[Wendy62]

Me too. God, I'm sick of voting for the lesser of two evils though!

[iamtheboha]

This will be my first time voting, but I've done reading on the past few elections and can sympathize. But all I can do this time around is support Obama and hope that his platform is more than just a platform and actually is a plan.

[polyanna848484]

FUCK OBAMA, he is already betraying us.

[Ed76638]

DAAAYUM!!!!!!!!!!

[Mel1334]

Oh, Keith is brilliant.

[observer855]

Even before he is in office, Obama's true character is starting to show. He is even MORE fake than all the others.

What a dissapointment.

[BJBlitzstein]

You're not listening.

[Mel1334]

Obviously, he/she isn't listening. His/Her head is way to far up his/her ass.

[observer855]

oh i'm listening, but I have the ability to think on my own. I don't just go along blindly with everything Keith says. I worked on the Obama campaign, and his behavior in the last month has been a real surprise to a lot of us.

[greatbroad]

I used to like McCain many years ago. Look how much McCain has changed over the years.

It reminds me of a political comedy sketch where the newly elected- is taken down a dark hallway- set down in a cigar-filled room-

and shown the film of the JFK assassination...

Then they say, "-any questions?"

[modernolaus]

Observer- you are forgetting the rules! It is NOT OK to critique Obama!!! You can't say anything objective about him! Even if he is showing that he is a complete phoney, it is no longer acceptable to say anything bad about Obama...haven't you been listening to the MEDIA? The media has decided that Obama is the greatest, so we the sheep must stay in line and not think, just vote for him.

[guitar3456353]

what a bunch of BS. You thumbs down this guy, who makes a completely ACCURATE point about Obama's behavior in the last month. You (just like everyone else) BLINDLY are worshipping Obama. Wake up and pay attention to the last month.

I like Obama, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't hold him to the same standards as everyone else.

[changesame]

Obama is already going against everything he promised us, and he's not even in office yet. This FISA move is literally among the top 3 most important decisions that have been made in the last decade.

Obama voted to provide retroactive immunity to the telecoms, he didn't even fight it!

Too late, the media has already chosen our next president..so now all these idiots on youtube get pissed when anyone examines him a little more closely.

OBAMA is not who you think he is, WAKE UP.

[Mel1334]

Did you even read Obama's statement on FISA. He said he supports it, EXCEPT the immunity of telecom. Did you even listen to Keith? If you don't know what you're talking about. Just shut up.

[changesame]

HA! Mel, you are hilarious. "Did you even listen to Keith?" you ask. Yes, I listened to Keith, but I don't agree with him, is it ok to disagree with the media in your book? Is ok to think for myself? Yes, I read Obama's statement, it made me even more angry. Obama is acting just like the very politicians he criticizes, if he doesn't agree with the immunity - he shouldn't vote for it. Period.

Try thinking for yourself for a change, or maybe just thinking period would be a good first step.

[polyanna848484]

Mel - you are PATHETIC. You say "but obama SAYS he is against it"...get used to it, Obama will say one thing, and then do another.

He says he is against the immunity, but then he shows his TRUE COLORS and votes FOR IT. And you think that is ok. You are a fucking moron.

[Wendy62]

True. No one is.  He isn't McCain though. And he's got a chance of winning.

What we need to do, is vote for him and not let up on the pressure for him to act at least moderately progressive.

[peep237]

Keith is brilliant.  Brilliant.

[luxou812]

KO is confusing this to cover his own shoe licking. Obama already showed he is a fake and that's the news that needs to be discussed. BO stands-up to the bake-sale people but not the telecoms.

This is a KO ass covering...and a weak one at that.

Sad Keith.

[carlosxOH]

what do you mean by "cover his own shoe licking"

[ruddypoo86]

KO's pimp slap was indeed necessary, Obama is starting to pussy out and it's not right.

[RedPandaBoy]

you can't say it's not necessary.. look at who is 'still' our president. And he represent our people.... so it's clear to say we're all stupid as a group.

[raystorm7]

KO plays no favorites as always. Thanks for slapping these spineless DEMs in the face. Lets hope Obama gets a replacement spine quick before he sinks his campaign thinking he can win by being a centrists. Mr. Obama, There is such a thing as being too much of a politician.
