Obama was not putting down small town America. he’s simply providing the question… is this the person we want as president? If Johan Mccain dies, which is very likely, then the little beauty queen would be the president of the free world! John Mccain is putting all of America at risk by pulling this shady political stunt! Hey i was student body president of my junior high i think i should be the VP nominee!

I’m not drinking the Obama KoolAid but I can’t get behind McCain/Palin…it just feels desperate and calculated. I do want a President that I feel is smarter than I am and neither McCain / Palin fit the bill…..oh and the shot at Obama for not calling to congratulate….McCain acknowledged his acceptance..not his VP choice…in fact ads slamming Biden aired within minutes of the announcement so get the facts right…..that is what I hate about politics these days….it’s not about the truth it’s about making weak minded people believe what you want them to believe

Governor Palin doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk. McCain played a trump card there. Obama doesn’t seem to like women much and his comments lead me to believe that he thinks women are less intelligent then himself. His quick attack on Ms Palin shows his fear of this woman.

If Being a GOVERNOR is so superior to being a senator, doesn’t that make McCain less qualified to be President than Palin also? Boy, the GOP has really boxed themselves into a corner trying to defend this unqualified woman. I wonder if she could even pick out Iraq on a map? Al Queda must be very excited over the prospect of this lady running the country.

ACTUALLY, Palin has been in politics since 1992. She has boosted Alaska’s economy TREMENDOUSLY, and she has a 85+ percent approval rating.
She was a FANTASTIC pick for VP!
Has everyone forgotten about Obama’s RACIST, hate-teaching preacher??? He spent 20+ years listening to his sermons. Do you not think he took some of that to heart??? And what about the racist comments Joe Biden made against East Indians???
Adding the word “CHANGE” after your name is nothing but hype. If anyone really thinks Obama is going to come in and immediately turn this country around, you’re sorely mistaken.
It’s funny when you think about it … McCain’s VP pick has more experience than Obama … and he’s running for President!
Please folks, research before you discredit someone.

Sounds to me like Obama is running scared from McCain’s pick. She is going to be VICE president so she can have less experience. McCain has plenty. Obama is going to be PRESIDENT and has NO EXPERIENCE. Why is he so concerned about a vp picks experience when she has more experience than he does. Get over it people he is not the second coming of Christ he is a POLITICIAN. Most of you are just voting for him because you think it makes you look hip voting for a black man.

You fools… I live in Chicago and Obama has learned from the most corrupt politicians in the US. I won’t disagree for a second that Obama is a very polished, articulate, intelligent speaker. He is great in that area. But the man lives and breathes criminal politician. Tony Rezko helped him buy his 5 million dollar house and property. He is in no way innocent in all these incidents of shady relationships. Come on people, we all agree he is intelligent and sharp do you really think he didn’t know what was going on around him?

Why shouldn’t Obama comment on McCain’s choice? It is a stupid choice. McCain’s camp keeps pointing to Obama’s experience, but then it pulls in some country bumpkin from Alaska, of all places.
As soon as I saw that she had five children, I knew there was a problem. There may be women out there who have decided against Obama, but there still are women who will not vote for McCain because he is not for abortion, and neither is his silly running mate.
McCain will probably kick it within the next couple of years, and then we will have a bigger idiot than Bush in the office. There is no way anyone in their right mind would want to have her in office making decisions . . . Oh wait, never mind. We had that idiot Reagan in office sleeping through meetings, so it probably won’t matter. The ritzy Repubs will be making all the decisions, anyway, as they did in the two terms Reagan spent in office, and as they have been doing with Bush.

I feel sorry for your small minded view of the world and of the man that Obama really is. For one I look forward to the day that he becomes President and we finally have some intelligence and integrity back in the office representing our country to the world. By the way, you mention McCain congratulated Obama!?!?! Come on, he had bash ads out the second he was clearly the nominee and the momemt he chose Joe Biden, who is above reproach. It is people like you that have caused the rest of the world to look upon Americans as elitist and small minded.

Hey Ken, WOW, GOVENOR of Alaska. She’s the Govenor of a state that has a population of only 670,000. It’s pretty easy to have a high approval rating in a state with a population that rivals Memphis, Tennessee.
Let’s go over her resume…
Two term Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, pop. 8500. The only thing they ever had to worry about was the Iditarod dog mushing race.
Am I missing anything?

Obama has less experience or credentials than Palin. He has not completed his 2 year term in Congress, and out of the 187 or so days he was acting like a senator, only 82 were not spent campaigning. So if you support Obama, you are supporting someone whose resume is rather sparse, indeed. And Palin was GOVERNOR of Alaska, not just a mayor of some podunk town. Obama should have Biden make the quips about a candidate’s experience, or lack thereof, as he is certainly the last person to talk. This selection may be the election in a nutshell. 30% of Hilary Clinton’s supporters said they would not vote for Obama. McCain was likely to get half that number as a protest vote, the other half helping him in not voting at all. By selecting Palin, he will probably garner more than 15% disenfranchised Clintonites. As close as the past two elections have been, that may put him over the top. Palin also shores up McCain’s base. Not good for the black Jesus.

I agree with Obama in this case. What in the world does McCain think a female from Alaska is going to do for the US when he falls over and dies from a heart attack??? He’s clearly not thinking about the US.
