Obama doesn't leave states like McCain does. Obama just cuts his staff to just a few people. Case in point: Georgia.

I agree 100%. Why doesn't the McCain campaign go after 130 "Present" votes in the Illinois State Legislature/150 days in the US Senate before deciding to run for President/NO "Change" anywhere on his political record/selected a VP who said many times that Obama isn't prepared to be President/selected a VP running mate who said Obama should have selected Hillary Clinton to be Obama's running mate Barack Obama? It's not like Obama isn't vulnerable. Maybe they have some good dirt on Obama!

West Genesee here in the Syracuse area won the NYS 'AA' championship last year. And if WG can win a HS football state title then ANYONE can win one!

Just who is this Mr Raines? He should be exposed for everything he did and every political candidate he worked with.

Mojo!

Come on, dudes! It's ORCHARD PARK - home of the Buffalo Bills. Good vibrations! Good times!

Seems not only are our Buffalo Bills in the top 3-4 teams in Pro rankings but the Orchard Park Quakers High School football team in New York's top 2! Football 2008 NYSSWA rankings (through Sept. 29) Rank Class AA Record ===== ===================== 1. West Genesee 4-0 (Syracuse area) 2. Orchard Park 4-0 (Buffalo Bills back yard) 3. Gates Chili 4-0 (Rochester area) 4. William Floyd 3-0 (Long Island) 5. St. Joe by the Sea-CSHFL 3-0 (NYC area) 6. St. Anthony's-CHSFL 3-1 (Long Island Catholic) 7. Monroe-Woodbury 4-0 (Mid-Hudson Valley) 8. Curtis-PSAL 4-0 (NYC area) 9. Iona Prep-CHSFL 3-0 (Westchester Catholic) 10. Syracuse CBA 4-0 (Syracuse area) So, here's to a New York State Class 'AA' championship for the Orchard Park Quakers High School football team and Super Bowl Championship for the Buffalo Bills. This post is NOT jinx. I'm from Syracuse and a huge SU fan so I KNOW!!! Note: High schools on Long Island and NYC do not compete in the NY State championship games.

They're not examined as closely as Palin simply because the John McCain campaign managers never bring them up. McCain's managers are completely blowing this election for him.

Numbers can be skewed. The points in the letter are completely valid.

Now, were the lawmakers, staff and the spectators alike enthralled because of Barack Obama or Barack Obama's teleprompter?

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." -- Mark Twain Consider Barack Obama: - 130 "Present" votes in the Illinois State Legislature. Do posters here know why Obama voted "Present" 130 times? Seriously, do people here know why a legislator in the Illinois State Legislature votes "Present"? - 150 days as a US Senator before deciding to run for President. - Campaign slogan is "Change We Can Believe In" but has no record of "change" anywhere in his (short) political career. Seriously, is his campaign slogan "Change We Can Believe In" a case of false advertising? I think it might be. - While in the US Senate Obama does have his first opportunity to "change" something - the course of the war in Iraq - by supporting the Surge. However, Obama balks and that habit to vote "Present" took over. Nearest thing to "Present" was "nay", and Obama voted against the Surge! Obama's vote against the Surge was (is) wrong. His one opportunity for "change" and he blew it!! So, not only is Obama NOT change, but it appears that he's the OPPOSITE of change! - Secures the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination and selects as his VP running mate Joe Biden. Biden is someone who said at least three (3) times that Obama wasn't ready to be President. Biden even said that Obama would need "on the job training" if Obama became President. And, no, they weren't gaffes. Clearly, Joe Biden really doesn't think too highly of Barack Obama's competence. - His new VP running mate Joe Biden said to a large group of people that perhaps Obama should have selected Hillary Clinton to be his running mate instead of Joe Biden. And, again, this was not a gaffe. Now Biden is questioning Obama's judgment. - First day of the Wall Street financial meltdown Obama flies to Hollywood to have a $30,000.00 per plate (correct me if I am wrong but whatever the figure was it was HUGE) fund raiser with Hollywood stars like Barbara Streisand, etc. - During the biggest government bailout Obama is so irrelevant that he has very little to do with a $700 billion negotiations other than to say "call me if you need me." Analysis: You see, Obama is naked. Politically naked. He has no experience, no legislative accomplishments, no leadership skills, and NO good judgment. But his handlers are doing a great job of covering it up, and the MSM is pretty complicit, as well. Obama has no (political) clothes. He is politically naked and should have no influence on society. As soon as the McCain campaign wakes up and sees Barack Obama for the naked, empty suit that he is, the sooner they will treat him as such and dispense with him - anon! Emperor Obama has no clothes. Barack Obama is just the person that Mark Twain was talking about!

Likely they'll have the same vote on Thursday but this time WITHOUT Pelosi anywhere to poison it and it will pass. P.S. Who/what branches of the US government will be responsible for the stewardship of this bailout, and over what period of time?

Very compelling. Thank you!

John McCain has forgotten to make the Presidential election a referendum on inexperienced Barack Obama. McCain BLEW it on the first debate because he treated Obama as a political equal. Obama has very little experience and not the greatest judgment in the world. Obama selected a VP candidate running mate who said (not a gaffe) many times that Obama isn't ready to be President? Biden also said that Obama perhaps should have selected Hillary as VP (again, not a gaffe)? For chrissake, McCain. This is all you really need to talk about with regards to Obama - the BIG PICTURE stuff! Forget talking about Afghanistan hills!

Completely agree. The orange and blue and fake green colors at the Carrier Dome are horrible to look at. Contrast that with the outdoor stadiums at Notre Dame, Michigan, etc. Now THAT'S what college football is all about!

After GEORGE BUSH asked him to return!

P.S. Joe Biden stating many times that Barack Obama is not ready to be President is not a gaffe. It's Biden's opinion of Barack Obama.

"Barack Obama decided to campaign this week instead of being where he should have been. In Washington DC immersing himself with the negotiations of the federal financial Bailout. ALL senators and ALL congress members should have been in Washington DC, for such an important function. Barack Obama said "if you need me, call me" with regard to not being in Washington DC, for this work. That's a pretty stupid answer and it really goes to the mind of who Barack Obama really is." John McCain was IN Washington, DC - where Barack Obama should have been. Pity that McCain isn't smart enough to make that argument, though.

Another McCain voter who wonders what the !@#$ John McCain's campaign is NOT doing!

September 27, 2008 Senator John McCain Washington, DC Dear Senator McCain, With regards to your Presidential debate with Senator Barack Obama I have some serious doubts about you. And I think I speak for a lot of John McCain voters. It was apparent that there's a few things about Senator Barack Obama that you don't know. For example: Baraack Obama served ONLY about 6 months in the United States Senate when he decided to run for President. Barack Obama has never "changed" anything while serving in state and federal government even though Obama's campaign slogan is "Change You Can Believe In." Barack Obama selected a VP candidate who has said many times that Barack Obama is not ready to be President. Barack Obama selected a VP candidate who disagrees with Barack Obama while making campaign speeches. Barack Obama selected a VP candidate who makes a complete idiot of himself every time he opens his mouth. FDR on television? Asking a wheel chair person to stand and take a bow? Barack Obama decided to campaign this week instead of being where he should have been. In Washington DC immersing himself with the negotiations of the federal financial Bailout. ALL senators and ALL congress members should have been in Washington DC, for such an important function. Barack Obama said "if you need me, call me" with regard to not being in Washington DC, for this work. That's a pretty stupid answer and it really goes to the mind of who Barack Obama really is. Do you not know about these important issues regarding Senator Obama? Did someone in your campaign not tell you? These are the key Barack Obama points. There's probably more. Well, now that you are aware of them, we McCain voters expect to see a lot of advertising of Barack Obama's ineptitude and you, personally, should STAND ON THE TOP OF EVERY MOUNTAIN IN THE UNITED STATED AND SCREAM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! If not, then you lose! Sincerely, A Senator John McCain Voter

"It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency." Obama last week looked like Rob Johnson with his "deer in the headlights" look. Not exactly reassuring.

You nailed it!! But I think once the Democratic party convention ended you can't change President or VP nominees.

So he's not a Democrat? And what's McCain's name doing attached to this Act? I was led to believe that it was Obama single handedly doing all the work according to blzrul. Just not my weekend to be posting here, I guess!

I was in Albany like two years ago with a Bills cap on. Just a Bills cap. People were looking at me like I was from another planet. All the department stores in Albany had Giants and Jets merchandise. No Buffalo Bills gear at all! I was somewhat heartened that there was no NE Patriots gear for sale.

"The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (S. 2590)[2] is an Act of Congress that requires the full disclosure to the public of all entities or organizations receiving federal funds beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2007. The website USAspending.gov opened in December 2007 as a result of the act, and is maintained by the Office of Management and Budget. The Congressional Budget Office estimates S. 2590 will cost $15 million over its authorized time period of 2007–2011.[3] The bill was introduced by Senator Tom Coburn, for himself and Senators Barack Obama, Tom Carper and John McCain on April 6, 2006." Sounds like Coburn, a Republican took the lead on this bill. Is that correct?
