Obama suffers in new poll

Barbados News.Net
Monday 8th September, 2008

Republican presidential nominee John McCain has taken a slight lead over his Democratic rival Barack Obama in the latest Gallup poll.

The 48-45 percent advantage is the largest for McCain since May, but is still within the 2-point margin of error.

The 48 percent figure also registers the largest raw number McCain has received in the poll since Gallup started its daily tracking of the two presidential candidates in March.

The poll marks the expected bounce for the Republican coming immediately out of the convention.

Barrack Obama experienced a similar bounce following the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

At that time, he led McCain 49-43 percent.

From the statement above one can conclude you in fact Don’t think.
Obama is all about image and self interest and promotion.
McCain has over and over proven that his ego does not get in the way of doing bi partisen work which he feels will help the country.
That’s the reason so many Republicans dislike him.
I dislike him but my dislike of McCain is small compared to the fact Obama is extremely flawed politically, morally, ethically, and socially to the point he will at some point be charged with corruption.
The Rezko funding schemes bribes kick backs and land deals will at some point splatter Obama.

I think Mc Cain should not step down for Obama just because Obama is a man of color, has no good plan for America and just wants to get there to have the name.
Jewish State sweats Mc Cain right now even with his support. What will Obama do? Exactly what he said before the public got their hands on him, screw up Palestine.

Campaign promises come cheep. Like showing up for votes and doing nothing.

Real questions!

How Obama won his first election (to the Illinois State Senate) by having his lawyers knock all his opponents — including the black, female incumbent — off the ballot on technicalities, so he could run unopposed


How Obama voted to deny medical care to babies born alive after abortion — a bill too extreme even for Nancy Pelosi (Freddoso has an exclusive interview with the nurse central to the case)


A story Obama would like to stay buried in Chicago: How he used his clout as a U.S. Senator to save the corrupt Cook County Political Machine when reformers of both parties tried to challenge the entrenched political bosses


How Obama’s wife Michele’s salary nearly tripled in 2005 — the same year he was sworn in to the U.S. Senate and began earmarking funds for her employer


How Obama’s friendship with the hate-spewing Reverend Jeremiah Wright was no accident — but a carefully thought out personal and political decision


Why Obama thought his association with '60s-era terror-bomber Bill Ayers wouldn’t matter — an exposé of the insular radical chic of Chicago’s Hyde Park politics


How state Senator Obama was paid more than $100,000 for legal work — then helped his client’s company get $320,000 in taxpayer grants


How, at a time when he says he was short of work and short of cash, Obama obtained $112,000, plus campaign contributions, from someone he later made into a government grantee through his public office


Inside Obama’s 17-year relationship and irregular land deal with developer Tony Rezko, whose livelihood depended on sapping the taxpayer for subsidies


“I’ve never done any favors for him," says Obama about Rezko. But he has — lots of them, as Freddoso shows


Why Rezko’s conviction for corrupting public officials might become the Whitewater scandal of Obama’s campaign


How Obama speaks of the days when his family was making $240,000 per year as if he had been suffering poverty — while, just last March, he voted to raise your taxes if you make over $32,500 per year


The Chicago Machine politician who “made a U.S. senator” out of Obama by giving him plum committee assignments and high-profile legislation in its late stages (often removing the original sponsors), and helping him spread money around through earmarks and “targeted” grants


How Obama avoided taking unpopular stands in the state Senate by voting “present” about 130 times — or simply by absenting himself from tough votes altogether


Obama’s little-known vow to Planned Parenthood in July 2007 — and why it would mean the end of every state, federal, and local regulation of abortion, and the end of all restrictions on government abortion funding


A “new politics”? How, in less than four years as a U.S. senator, Obama has voted for some of the worst special-interest legislation to move through the chamber


How Obama opposes school choice through vouchers or tax credits — while sending his own children to an elite private school


How Obama wants — and has voted — to abolish secret-ballot elections in the workplace when employees determine whether to unionize, allowing unions to intimidate and harass workers who don’t support them


Why Obama’s foreign policy would take its cues from Jimmy Carter’s


“Post-partisan”? Why the respected National Journal named Obama the most liberal member of the United States Senate in 2007 — beating out Barbara Boxer, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton... and the previous title-holder John Kerry
