Name Obama's ten greatest accomplishments.


1) threw Rev. Wright under the bus.
2) threw Jesse Jackson under the bus
3) threw Hillary Clinton under the bus
4) threw the military under the bus
5) threw public campaign funding under the bus
6) threw David Rescoe under the bus
7) threw his grandmother under the bus
8) invites known terrorists to ride on the bus

Can't come up with ten because he has no noteworthy real accomplishments.

I got nothing.


Well, he did graduate from Harvard.


And so did Ted Kazcynski. Seems they have more than just that in common:

"Conservatives and some others advocate more "local autonomy."
Local communities once did have autonomy, but such autonomy becomes
less and less possible as local communities become more enmeshed with
and dependent on large-scale systems like public utilities, computer
networks, highway systems, the mass communications media, the modern
health care system. Also operating against autonomy is the fact that
technology applied in one location often affects people at other
locations far away. Thus pesticide or chemical use near a creek may
contaminate the water supply hundreds of miles downstream, and the
greenhouse effect affects the whole world."

???? Aren't women members of the Tailhook Association?

They certainly are.

Tailhook Association reunions have been well-behaved events since the infamous 1991 reunion. Wives, sweethearts, and of course female Naval Aviators, NFOs, etc. are both welcome and in good attendance. The banquet is a formal affair (conservative suits/tuxes/mess dress, cocktail dresses or fancier, etc.) with a Naval aviation-connected personage as the honored speaker. SEN McCain was the banquet speaker for the 2006 reunion (before he declared his candidacy).

McCain is a better pilot than
Obama, and if he is known as a party animal that's great - the guy can
loosen up. Are you ignorant of Naval fighter pilot culture?




As in the Tailhook Association? Yeah, that should get the women's vote.

How about naming McCain's ten greatest accomplishments that actually
relate to the issues he would face as president.

For example, what experience does he have in setting or modifying
national economic policies? Or formulating policies and actions dealing
with a serious housing crisis, bank failures, historic balance of trade
deficits, budget deficits, regional employment crises, etc.?

And, what experience does he have setting and negotiating trade
policies, policies relating to legal and illegal immigration? What
experience does he have negotiating with Soviet bloc and asian countries
re security issues, etc.? My friends, would he be able to understand a
complex crisis and make a rational, logical decision at 3:00 in the
morning? - Could he stay awake during meetings throughout the following
day? Or would he have to take an afternoon nap? With respect to his
favorite issue, national defense, what experience does he have making
decisions on deployment, troop movements, troop support, etc. during
wartime? (Remember that we are talking about a 70 plus-year-old man who
graduated from the academy at the bottom of his class.)

Does he have successful experience in negotiations with friendly and/or
unfriendly nations regarding political, military, and/or economic issues?

Does he have experience in resolving a national health care crisis,
including resolving medical costs and insurance issues?

Experience in managing a country in deep financial crisis? - For
example, how will he implement his programs when the country is deeply
in debt to China, and various Islamic nations, with deep ongoing
national deficits, such that we don't have the budget to support his
plans, much less to support them and also extend the tax cuts he
(currently) favors? Regarding military responsiveness, what experience
does he have in determining an appropriate response to hostile actions
in the Mideast or elsewhere WHEN THE COUNTRY DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH TROOPS
TO TAKE CARE OF AFGHANISTAN, MUCH LESS TAKE ON ANOTHER CONFLICT? - Would
he suggest that we re-implement the draft? And if so, would the
Congress approve such a request from McCain? (He can talk tough, my
friends, but talk is cheap.)

When the economy (not the Iraq war) is BY FAR the primary concern of the
US public, what experience and knowledge does he have of issues relevant
to economics?

Yes, you can ask the same questions regarding Obama, but while you are
asking such questions, let's also get appropriate answers from Johnny
McCain and his staff.

Yeah.

John McCain has been a senator for many years.

Many more years than you or me.

His files are loaded with your answers.

Live long, and prosper.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.

Firstly, you're responding to a troll, a pathetic guy with nothing better to
do.

Secondly, McCain has years and years of experience in the Senate, he's a war
hero, and he supported a war of choice rather than necessity. He's
flipflopped on a number of key issues, such as being against then
pro-torture, mostly first speaking his mind, then saying what the right-wing
religious nuts want to hear so he can solidify his base. He has good 'ole
Jack Kemp on his advisory board. Nothing wrong with that (we wouldn't want
to be accused of whinning like Phil Graham would say), except, Kemp was a
vocal supporter, perhaps even an athletic supporter of Jack Abramoff. You
remember him don't you Jim? The guy who went to prison for fraud and
corruption. (Don't even think about the Keating Five - The Ethics Committee
saying McCain used "very poor judgement.")

I love how McCain keeps claiming that the "surge" is working. It's working
alright... it's driving the terrorists to Afganistan!

I also love how the party of "family values," rife with people who divorce
their wives (typically in times of personal crisis, like cancer or
disability) to marry one of their girlfriends, tries to compare itself to
people like Obama who have a long-time wife and a solid family.

But, fear, don't forget the fear of flying without getting a foot-check
because one guy tried to light up his shoe.

God Forbid we should listen to T. Boone Pickens, someone who just might know
something about big oil, and develop a sustainable non-oil energy industry.
He must be in league with Gore. Instead we should give all our money and
turn over our security to the Saudis (not counting bin laden of course).
But, drill some more, something that will only help us (maybe) 10 years from
now. It sounds good... drill! drill! drill! Absolutely don't increase the
CAFE standards to anything that might cause the US auto industry to be able
to compete with the Japanese cars.

Well, I think you get the idea. Seems like even Bush is getting some wisdom
(right...). He's flipflopped on Iran, and on a timetable for withdrawing
from Iraq. According to John Bolton (not exactly a liberal)

Bolton Sarcastically Said Bush Shift Toward Talking To Iran "Is The State
Department Effort To Insure A Smooth Transition To The Obama
Administration." John Bolton said of the Bush Administration's agreeing to
talks with Ira, "Even if this is a one time only event in the Bush
administration, it legitimizes the Obama administration to do the same
thing," he said. "It undercuts McCain, and Republicans on the Hill. This is
the State Department effort to insure a smooth transition to the Obama
administration." [ New York Sun, 7/17/08 ]
