- Obama now says he didn't campaign on the public option. The Google says he did, a lot.
- As President, Obama campaigned for the public option -- to some audiences anyway

That's a direct quote from McCain. Remember in the debates, he siad he would have good advisors - they would help him with the economy and finance. Why on earth is he qualified to make any commentary about financial matters now?
I find it extremely disturbing that John McCain who lost by a landslide is still treated as someone whose opinion needs to be sought on all things anti-Obama. I dont' recall John Kerry getting this much attention after he lost a VERY CLOSE race in 2004. Could someone explain to me why I'm subjected to John McCain and his sore and tacky daughter Meghan McCain's rantings about Obama and they wuz robbed?
And people thought that the press was in the tank for Obama?
Truely think the republicans have lost it. They seem not to be able to
comprehend the crisises they created and our country is facing.
Their party first politics as usual is criminal and unAmerican.
What empty hypocrits.
What is really depressing is that the professional media either hasn't figured out the very obvious, or they are willingly pretending that these babbling lunatic assholes are serious people with some kind of record of achievement.
Republicans are soulless, amoral asswipes - that's just how they are.
The "media" has a responsibility to call them on their shit, or quit. They, supposedly, have brains and judgment.
I blame them way more.
The savings and loan scam was his baby. Now that it's grown and shown the way to bankrupt ALL OF THE BANKS, he wants to control the grand pay-off, I mean bailout.
Yeah isn't that the reason why we're in this mess now/ Why would any self respecting American listen to them?
Blaming an incoming president for the bad policies of the last eight years? Brilliant. Blaming homeowners for losing their homes? Compassionate.
You claim you're not speaking within party lines, but we've heard all of this from the GOP. At least be honest.
If America wanted McCain's philosophical opinions to become reality, we would have voted for him. Of COURSE he's going to disagree with everything. He's bitter AND he's McSame in a sea of McChange.
Are there any brave MSM pundits who will keep reminding people of that? [snark]
The MEDIA is at fault here. I want the media to start asking the repugs to be specific when they claim the bill isn't stimulative or won't create jobs.
How can they claim the provision to make medical records electronic isn't stimulative? It will put IT people to work NOW. It will lower the cost of healthcare over time which will lower the cost of insurance for busineses who offer insurance and for those busineses who may be able to afford it in the future. These lowere costs will allow business to retain and hire employees.
The same can be said for weatherizing homes. Puts laid off construction workerrs back to work NOW. Then when the weatherizing is done and construction work starts to increase those workers can go back to the construction industry.
I fail to understand the repugs call for more business tax cuts. Yes, it would lower their cost of doing business. But, if they have no customers anyway becuase of lowered spending demand, why would they need to hire any new workers?
He oughta be at a dog track but insists on shooting his mouth off. Let him run. It's fun watching this old fraud make an ass of himself.
CNN. as they claim fairness and integrity is one of the worse. At least Fox makes no bones about where they stand but CNN tries to dupe the viewers. Never watch them except for Jack Cafferty.
I wonder if crazy Johnny agrees with Miss Lindsey that America's banks should be taken all the way to nationalization???
I am so SICK of FAKE outrage.
The Republicans are on the wrong horse. They are working AGAINST our country, not for it, and every suggestion they make that gets shot down is "tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts." WAKE UP. Your tax cuts didn't work for the last 8 years. They aren't going to work now. Get onboard, or get out of the way.
So, John McCain should flatly reject any cash headed for Arizona.
NOW, they all get the collective vapors if the President so much as wants to buy gum out of petty cash- and all the media just lets Reps talk without so much as a 'but what about...?'.
Last week, John Stewart asked John Sununu that if deficit spending is so bad, why did we keep spending so much money in Iraq without complaint or restraint?
Sununu steamrolled right past the question, of course, but we deserve to know (and John Stewart is my hero).
But what's really funny about the stimulus is that they were far worse about not giving people time to read the bill when they passed the Patriot Act and the prescription drug benefit. They really don't have any room to criticize the Democrats on procedural matters. They made the rules and now that they don't have the ball they are crybabies.
No one should pay any attention to those 36 unpatriotic Americans.
Treat 'em like mushrooms.
Yes, that Michelle Malkin. The far right-wing pundit.
It's funny how no one (in the GOP or Democratic party) was all that concerned about future generations when it came to the war deficit. But that was going to "make us safe."
Because shoring up the infrastructure and making certain our bridges don't collapse, that _doesn't_ make us safe, clearly.
I love how President Obama is the "Hollywood" president...yes, he's popular. And? Is that the best argument anyone can come up with? Find a new argument or just accept that you don't like him and the majority of the country does...and get over it. If you disagree with his policies, fine.
But this is an actual crisis. Not a made up one cynically using the dead of 9/11 to push through an agenda. People are losing their jobs and their homes and something needs to be done. If it fails, we'll try something else. That's the difference between Obama and W. Rather than "staying the course" right off a cliff, President Obama will admit he's made a mistake and try something new.
Hit your caps lock key, please.
