That is a very important endorsment.

However he isn't cutting taxes for 95% of Americans just because you say it doesn't mean it's true.

No one realizes that he wants to tax big corporations, who does that hurt? It hurts the workers and their salaries. Capital gains tax on investments that hits your 401k. He is going to double spending and double the deficit we are in now, his programs all require big spending. New York is going to be hit harder than most states and everyone is going to see an increase in their tax.

Blaming Wall Street, when you got yourself locked into a mortgage that you couldn't afford isn't really fair, there are a lot of other people out there besides wallstreet are to blame. No one wants to take responsibility for the fact that the democrats were instrumental in deregulating Fannie and Freddie, the Republicans let spending get out of hand, the SEC and the treasury let the country down, etc. It's very American to blame others for your shortcomings and shortfalls in life. It's a shame the situation we are in because it could have been avoided .

McCain isn't going to win, nor did he have a chance to win.

Huh??? You 401K grows tax deferred, you only pay income tax when you withdraw from it post retirement. You cant make up arguments like this just because you dont agree with a candidate, though its fairly typical of the right wing propaganda.

How did the Democrats deregulate Faniie and Freddie? --- ???????

The most succinct description of Barack Obama was uttered by Colin Powell this morning.

In order to describe what My Obama brings to the party, Powell employed the phrase,

"intellectual dignity"

Like a hattori hanzo sword Powell's words cut to the heart of the matter

its true, mccain should be disqualified for his pretty bluntly racist and frankly disgusting tactics bringing up terrorists muslims etc. Palin should be bitch slapped for allowing people to yell "terrorist" and "kill him!" at rallys. Disgusting. America its time to grow up

Actually no one yelled kill him. That was looked into and proved to be false.

You guys are pathetic if you think McCain is a racist. If people are all over Palin, making claims her daughter fathered her child with down syndrome and got all over her from the start without merit, you should have to answer questions about your past. If you don't believe sitting in a church for 20 years and listening to a pastor that blatently hates america and is racist and marries you, baptizes your children should be swept under the rug i don't know what to tell you If you have no record and have questionable associations these things need to be explored.

Ads have been running that have said McCain was near death and would have a cancer relapse and die, the media has been on the offensive towards McCain and has let Obama slide and not questioned any of his programs and not really explored his associations and attacked him the way they have attacked Palin.

Disgusting tatics, please it's politics and has been getting ugly on both sides. If you don't think McCain is an honorable man, you are a disgraceful human being.

Really? Can you tell us which regulations they voted against? Or is this yet more manufactured BS from your right wing rule book?
I take it, it doesn't tell you in the rule book how raising capital gains taxes is going to affect 401Ks either?

What's pathetic about it.

The fact that everyone cries racism when someone brings up acron, ayers, or wright?

The fact that the media is so one sided is laughable and outside of fox news most publications, news networks are extremely pro obama?

No one yelled kill him at a rally, some women who probably didn't finish high school called him and muslim and mccain corrected him. It's not like McCain and Palin, who i think is not qualified haven't been dragged through the mud.

Everyone acts like Obama's campaign has been truthful and honorable. Campaigns rarely are and members of those campaigns sometimes cross the line. But believing everything either of these two say is just plain absurd. We have a huge deficit, owe money, and Obama is going to give everyone health care, tax breaks, make it affordable for everyone to go to college. Both these guys don't have the necessary grasp of what it takes to turn this thing around. It's always interesting to see how much money each candidate has given to charity when they are making all these promised about helping the middle class and being there for the middle class

I just find it curious that Obama and Biden are for 95% tax cuts to the middle class, but when it comes to charitable giving they come up very short. Biden in the past 10 years has given less than 4000 to charity, obama stepped up his giving during his campaigning but gave less than 2% of his earnings away the previous 4 years. You can preach your virtues and you can pretend to care, but back it up please.

Both these guys don't have the necessary grasp of what it takes to turn this thing around. -- TRUE, but one of them is GOING to be president whether you like it or not. Now based on what I know the last time we had a "democrat" in the wite house the budget deficit was cut significantly, the current lame duck in the white house more than tripled it. If you are so concerned about the deficit isnt your choice something of a no-brainer?

No it's not. Obama is big government and big spending. McCain is not Bush. The Republicans did a terrible job letting things get out of control, the sec is disgraceful, Bernake is a disgrace, a lot of people were let down.

Obama has a unique advantage that his party isn't in the white house and he can blame everything on bush and link them together. And because McCain was tortured he looks older and more frail people are turned off by his body language. It's a different dynamic, Obama is smooth and polished, and by all accounts impressive.

But what he is proposing right now is going to be an even bigger problem than anyone realizes for the economy. Our corporate tax is the second highest in the world if i am not mistaken and all he talks about is McCain giving discounts to Exxon or McCain in favor of giving tax cuts to ceos. Industries across the board are going to suffer if those tax cuts are pulled back and capital gains are inforced. New York is going to suffer more than any other state.

And just an aside the palin family which earns less than biden has given more away to charity in the past two years than biden has in the past eight. And McCain gave a good deal of his salary away and does so every year.

Dude, you are raving, and you are unable to back up any of your "facts" with any sources. Peace man, you want to vote against your own self interest, you are entitled to it. Enjoy

I wonder what people like MS would do if Fox News didn't exist. Would they actually accept reality?

The reason you think most media outlets are pro-Obama is because they don't report all the pretend pro-right wing propaganda Fox News makes up. You're a sheep of the worst kind.

ACORN is an illusion created to suppress voting, and driven by the same people who fired the lawyers for not being in line with the party. Voter Registration are FORCED BY LAW to turn in EVERY voter registration form they receive. On average Every year SIX, that's right, SIX people get caught committing voter fraud. Yet over 40,000 names get purged. Often for discrepancies with databases where there are small changes such as punctuation and Street being spelled St. Imagine your registration said Main St, but because the database says Main Street, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE. This attack on ACORN is VOTER SUPPRESSION and even Republican Gov Frist from Florida said this is much ado about nothing. But listening to Fox News or Lou Dobbs you would think ACORN is satan, instead a low income family advocacy group who pays idiots to register as many people as they can, AND ARE FORCED BY UNITED STATES LAW TO TURN ALL THOSE REGISTRATIONS IN.

Tax and spend liberals? Why is it after Reagen, after Bush 1 and after Bush 2 we were left with a recession or depression? Why is our national debt is always larger after Republican rule? Why is our deficit always so much larger after Republican rule? Why is it the only time we had a surplus and were able to pay against the debt was under Clinton?

McCain/Palin appeal to hateful, angry, uneducated, bitter people. Powell is a Republican who is a rarity in his party. Intelligent and fair. Something Republicans now days rarely seem to be.

Who the hell cares about how much does a person give to charity? u really think thats an indicator of anything other than creating an image, when it comes to politicians? Oh and the 95% tax cut, is not a 95% tax cut. . .

Its a (i hope i am not wrong on this) :drumroll t-ta-ta: cut to the taxes of 95% of the tax paying families, the ones that don't make as much $ as the remaining 5%. A 95% tax cut is a funny idea tho. . .
