actually no their not they gotten on Obama just as hard

[marissacalderon]

HAHAHA wow McCain, if you substitute USA and Iraq you just described us! I love how what's actually going on in our country our government is accusing others of doing. Georgia is committing genocide on it's people and we approve of it. Israel commits genocide on Palestinians and we approve it. AND AMERICANS ARE OK WITH THIS!

Vote third party.

Krusty, I had Tsygankov just now for a class at SF State and, trust me, he knows that America is rich as well as corrupt. It may not seem that way in the video but if you meet him for a long conversation face to face (or take him for a class), you see where he stands with America, that being the nation needs improvement (especially on matters of corruption)

[cajayson8301]

I totally agree...if you look at the foreign news outlets (which are much more trustworthy), they give a critical analysis as to how Georgia pushed and was the aggressor. Since this country has been anti-Russia biased for years, it's no wonder they would try to make them look bad while praising Georgia. It's like Israel/Palestine...we always hear about "bad bad Palestine" and "poor picked on Israel" but that's hardly the case. Americans cannot trust their media.

I'm taking a class with Professor Tsygankov right now...if you think he is insightful here, just get him in a classroom! Guy is freaking brilliant! And he also knows how to teach...SF State is lucky to have him

[pipdubya]

Considering when he was interviewed, this guy's pretty insightful about the dynamics of the election.

[nikodimos]

It was interesting to hear this guy's analysis of McCain's obvious foreign polity bona fides, specifically re: Russia. The ultimate conclusion would be correct, except for this recent financial crisis.

If the bailout "works," the markets rebound, and something happens to put national security at the fore of the public consciousness, McCain can rebound. As it is, recent events have turned the public's attention to the economy, which is (quite wrongly) perceived to be Obama's strength.

[ojlavoie]

Projection. Very informative.

The motives McCain ascribes to Russians for invading Georgia are the ones most likely to have driven Americans to invade Iraq.

Same cover: self-defense.

Go figure.

[gmatamoros]

McCain sucks. Supposedly OBAMA is not experienced enough to be president. McCain has never been president himself. So nobody can say that McCain is qualified. Obama is the better man because with Obama as president, the U.S. wont be so hated. Obama will work on fixing America. McCain will work on declaring war and butting on on everbody. I want a president that will concentrate on the U.S. I do not want a stupid president that thinks he is more qualified just because he has war stories.

[KrustyUnderpants]

he says that Russia is rich and corrupt and acts as if America is not.

PS Sorry for my clumsy English.

[jahdi13]

So you base yor impression of Russia on idiotic video by some German freak? Smart move, man!

Btw, you don't need to be on any side - you just need to be mentaly normal to understand that McCain is not the good choise. You don't even need to hear what he saying, just take a look into the eyes of that hysterical lunatic - he would start WorldWar3 as easy as he trying to start ColdWar2. I know nothing about Obama except that he is "other guy" & that's enough for me to wish him good luck. Peace.
