While john McCain and his Manchurian Candidate Sarah Palin “pal around” the United States spreading false claims about Barack Obama, I can’t help but feel like they are distorting their own record. I wonder why that could be, oh, I know, because they are.

Here is a video of McCain praising the same types of tax increases for the wealthy that he now calls Socialist of Barack Obama. I feel bad for John McCain, someone told him that you if you sell your soul to Karl Rove and the base of the Republican party that you will ascend to the highest position in the nation and after that it will all make sense. I must say John, you have some loyal supporters, they are so blinded by who you used to be that they believe that you will change once elected.  It’s unfortunate that you inspired these people to believe in the lie that is you and now you have this incompetent woman walking around claiming that she is ready to be 2nd in command when she really is unaware of what the VP does. Where is my buddy Mitt Romney when you need him, I am glad that he has distanced himself from you and your failing campaign. Please enjoy the video!

Ps. Stop targeting my site with these damn ads about the McCain / Palin ticket. Talking about paid by …….. BS I haven’t received a dollar. When the day comes I am voting for …..

The evening had finally arrived when Barack Obama and John McCain would faceoff and articulate to the people of America who will best serve the interests of the country and the people who live here. John McCain attempted to suspend his campaign and reschedule the debate because of the Economic Crisis that the United States is going through much to the dismay of the Debate organizers at the University of Mississippi.

With all of this political hoopla a historic moment is being missed with the University of Mississippi being the backdrop for tonight’s debate where an African American man is running for the Presidency of the United States on a major ticket of one of country’s two largest parties platform.

The University of Mississippi affectionatley known as Ole Miss has other historic moments that have been neglected this week in our quest for a President. In 1962 The University of Mississippi was also the site of blatant racism and Sounther whites taking horrific measures to combat integration into Ole Miss.

The University of Mississippi was also the site of rioting during desegregation, when James Meredith of Kosciusko, Mississippi, attempted to enroll in the school to become the university’s first black student. Thousands of students and citizens from the surrounding area, a number of whom were armed, swarmed the campus on September 30, 1962 in a riotous effort to prevent Meredith’s enrollment. Meredith, thanks to the protection afforded by federal marshals, was able to enroll and attend his first class on October 2. Two people died during the race riots on campus. Following the riot, elements of an Army National Guard division were stationed in Oxford to subdue future riots. While most Ole Miss students did not riot prior to his official enrollment in the university, many harassed Meredith during his first two semesters on campus.

Without the struggle of James Meridith, Barack Obama would not be able to have stood on that stage one week ago this past Friday. It’s important that we pay our respects to the men and women who trailblazed through this country with hopes that one day Barack Obama could be in the position that he is.

John McCain has shown us this week that he thinks our lives are a joke, he sees the American people as nothing more blind sheep that he can play games with to become elected into the White House. You disagree, well lt me tell you why I feel this way.

Last week John McCain told the world, yes the world because we live in a global village, that the fundamentals of them American economy were strong. Numerous times the Maverick has told us that the economy is not his strong suit, and we have accepted it. So why then would he think we would be stupid enough to accept his desperate ploy for attention this week by suspending his campaign. John McCain is a stunt double in an extremely bad movie. His Robin, is a self proclaimed soccer mom from Alaska who is unaware of his policies and this is who he thinks should be his second in command.

He suspends his campaign, well he says that he does but it is clear that he never did nor intended to, in fact he just wanted photo ops in Washington to show him moving negotiations along with our current financial crisis bail out. He lies to us telling us he suspended his campaign and says that Barack Obama should do the same in an effort to look more presidential. This backfired when Barack did not agree, and rightfully so. As the President of the Free World as we know it, our leader will have to juggle multiple crisis, high priority information and decisions at the same time. As Mike Huckabee has said, the president can not ask for a ‘timeout”, that’s absurd.

McCain’s actions this week have shown that he in unfit to lead this nation. But the game does not stop there, he stages a fake suspension of his campaign and attempts to cancel the debate. Not because he is afraid to debate Barack Obama but because he has an incompetent running mate who he is trying to shield from the public so by pushing back one debate he buys her time. Isn’t it interesting how when the Republicans attack Michelle Obama it’s fair game but when Democrats attack Palin it’s sexist, things that make you go hmmm.

So McCain decided he will take a stand, a stand for honor, a stand for his country and he will not go to the debate unless the Bailout goes through. Oh yeah, the bailout, the economy the thing he’s weak at again and last week thought was strong. Well today at 11:30am there was no bail out but there was McCain’s camp telling the public that he would be at the debate. Wait a minute Maverick, what about your patriotism, what about the bailout. Sorry Mr. Shine, that bull ish I tried didn’t work, now I have to go save face. Do Americans not see that this is a man who will play with their emtions, their wallets and pocketbooks, their fears and anxieties all in the hopes of looking Presidential when he does not have a clue. John McCain you are more than out of touch, you my friend are unfit to lead!

Letterman said it best “You don’t quit”. Which is what John McCain has shown himself to be today, a proven quitter when the tough gets going!

I agree wholeheartedly with Barack Obama. as President you will need to be able to handle more than one issue at a time. Earlier today John McCain suspended his campaign asking Barack Obama to do the same, at this point it seems that he will not and for good reason. John McCain thought that Barack Obama would bow to his failed leadership cap[abilities and ever so graciously he did not. YES WE CAN!!!!!!!! GET YA PLANE READY MCCAIN AND LETS DEBATE! OBAMA 08

In an effort to shake up this year’s election a little more John McCain has formally suspended his Presidential Campaign. I read these words on CNN and thought, wow have we won the election without an election. Of course we have not, instead this is more Political games that the Republican Party would like to engage the American public in in an attempt to look patriotic.

McCain has also asked that Barack Obama do the same, he claims he is taking these measures so that both of them can go to Washington D.C. and fight the good fight for this $700 billion dollar bail out. McCain has also cancelled this Friday’s upcoming debate, but what does either of them suspending their campaigns really do for the problem at hand.

Was the economy not in a disarray when many people in this country began seeing their homes go into foreclosure? Was the economy not is a state of disbelief last week as we saw the stocks plunge and the collapse of some of the largest Banking Institutions? So why now?

I’ll tell you why, McCain has become the game changer in this election unfortunately, however his failed gimmicks don’t last long. He brought out the pit bull in a skirt, she had no experience, everyone pounced on her and their polls sky rocketed. It worked, it really did, for about 11 days. Then we started to see him slip again in the polls. Now we are watching the economy take a nose dive, something we know is not McCain’s strong suit. The polls start to favor Senator Obama some more so John McCain pulls this move, I mean hes at the bottom and has no where to go but up anyway.

But while some Americans will see this as patriotic, a valiant fight for the little guy. I see this as worse than Karl Rove tactics, this is a man blatantly playing with the lives and minds of American people. This is a party that would rather invoke fear than deal systematically with real issues. The fear is this, our present situation is so dire that I will suspend my campaign, (well just a few stops) and create the illusion that I am about to get something done for the American people. Oh look how selfless I am, but the truth is I’m a desperate old man who has lost his marbles and is really showing people that I have no leadership skills.

When the tough gets going you come to the rescue yes but does a leader abandon everything else he has been working on. NO, a leader delegates responsibilities, stays up late nights and gets the job done by any means necessary never compromising his role as a leader. I’m not a fan of George Bush but did he suspend his presidency as 9/11 took place and we were faced with grave danger. Some would say that he should have but I remember the night of 9/11. I remember watching George Bush make his speech about us finding justice and although that justice has been very tainted I thank him for atleast attempting to find what he thought was justice rather than suspending his campaign in the middle of one of the most crucial elections in hopes to gain votes form the little people. Those little people you could care less about as you eat dinner at one of 7 different kitchen tables, as you drive down the street in 1 of 13 cars. John McCain is more than out of touch he is unfit to lead!

According to CNN

Art Hogan, chief market strategist for Jefferies & Co., said the magnitude of the financial industry fallout is unprecedented, and could only be compared to the Great Depression of the 1930s or the railroad bankruptcies of the 1800s.

“We’ve never witnessed this before,” said Hogan. “There’s no road map for this.”

With the collapse of Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch selling itself to Bank of America the stocks plummetted today to lows we have not seen since the aftermath of 9/11. In times like this do we really need John McCain who think the economy is fundamentally strong, someone whose ads say things are bad but his actions and words say things are ok. I feel like a commercial: JOHN MCCAIN, WE JUST CAN’T AFFORD MORE OF THE SAME!

Out of all of the speeched I heard at the RNC, I liked Mitt Romney’s the best. although he is a staunch hater of our future President Barack Obama. He proves to be an intelligent man knowing when to separate himself from McBush or John McCain rather. Check him out in this clip. I smell doomsday for John McCain and it smells great!

Why would John McCain pick a candidate who admittedly does not know much about the position she has been picked for? Might it be that McCain thinks women are that blind to real issues that they will vote for this ticket solely because of gender. I wonder if the mainstream media will pick this up!

Now the mainstream media is announcing what we have known over here at Notes of This Native Son for quite some time. Colin Powell is set to announce his full fledged support behind Barack Obama at the Convention in Denver. Team Obama YES WE CAN!

Hopefully what this endorsement will show is that Conservatives do not believe in John McCain and his supporters will convert over to Team Obama. While watching CNN I saw a statistic that claimed that McCain has a 9 point lead with Americans feeling he would be better quipped to handle international conflict.

What I just saw from this past Russia - Georgia conflict is that McCain is a real tough talker. So tough in fact, that someone will call his bluff. Why do we feel safer with a person who seems more trigger happy, that trigger happy feeling is what has so many Americans dead in Iraq now. I would take sound judgment over a trigger happy fellow any day.
