This thread has went tits up!
PVVike made a claim that Obama wasn't qualified, I called him out on it...he's made a couple posts since then so I know he has seen it...the burden is on HIM to substantiate his claim, not on me for calling him out
simple logic
but hey, thanks for playing
Yeah..it has. I tend to vote liberal...but IMO, there is no qualified candidate this go around. Obama can't even beat Hillary in the states that will actually swing the election come November. IMO, the Dems have ALMOST blown this election. McCain is no better, which is the only saving grace to Howard Dean and the rest of the Dem machine's stupidity. The Dems or GOP either one will not have their best chances to win the White House on the ballot come November. AND when push comes to shove, I don't know that Obama can beat McCain...they both scare me.
Simple logic is that as a party you put forth your best candidate...seriously tho...you seem to be pro-Obama. So why do you think he is qualified ? No sense in dodging the question.
What's wrong with McCain? People want the anti-Bush, McCain is about as anti-Bush as you can get.
McCain will be the next Bush...and frankly, I'd had enough of the Bush family when his dad left office. Candidates say and do whatever it takes to get in office...once they are there, their true colors come out. People slam Bill cuz of his affairs...but his policies helped me get through college...and helped the economy as well...so I don't care how much pipe he laid in the White House.

Best you can come up with Obamabuttbaby?
All you Obama-lovers sure love to talk about change. What change?
Obama is a pathetic piece of crap from Illinois. But why worry about substance when the bastard can talk a good game.
IMO, folks like Obama cuz he reminds them of the "Rock"..lol..really tho, Obama won't change much. IF he gets in office (and that's a big IF considering he hasn't won a single state that the Dems need in November) he'll not have enough power to get much accomplished. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Dems woke up at the convention and didn't give him the nod either.
"But why worry about substance when the bastard can talk a good game."
are you talkin about Obama or lookin in a mirror?
the best you've come up with is that he's a pathetic piece of crap from Illinois...like being from Illinois is a disease, or maybe you're just stating random facts about him while you attempt to insult him
i'll go ahead and write your next one for ya..."Obama is a stupid dumbass who attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School...that dumbass"
or "Obama is a butt munch whose father was from Kenya"
People like Barak Hussein Obama for the same reasons they liked Howard Dean. He talks a good game. He pushes all the right buttons for the young 'progressive' (brainless) crowd.
Substance doesn't matter, all that matters is that they look good.

Sup-RBeast is the biggest Democrat I know, Except my mom, and if this is how he feals about their nominee (which by the way is the same as my mom) no need for me to give the ballot a second look...I ain't votin for him if die hard democrats of years and years (not college kids, or high school kids) can't even stomache him...Cause there is one thing for sure, If a democrat won't stand behind another democrat, they must be the anti-christ, cause they tend to go down with the ship (see Bill Clinton and John Kennedy) alot faster than republicans....

Are you ignorant of Illinois politics?
Being a politician from Illinois IS a disease and reason enough to disqualify anyone from holding a national office.
Then again, why should that matter? He's young, he's black, and he's cool. That's all that matters, right?
Name a politician that doesnt talk a good game? Other than Gore.

ugh, geez if you're gonna try to have a witty rebuttal, at least have it make sense...what are you "writing" for me?? you're just stating an opinion
NEXT....
Well, what are Obama's accomplishments? Why should we vote for him?
It's not an opinion moron, he hasn't started one single bill that passed in his whole 18 months in Washington....At least don't come on here like the liberalist authority if you have no idea of the mans NON-Accomplishments....
I'd stop on the Abe Lincoln deal if I were you before you get showed up by Bob, You obviously have never studdied his election and how he became president...
Abe Lincoln is regarded as a great president based on the fact that the North won the civil war. His policies weren't very well liked in the North tho. But to compare Obama to Abe is to compare chicken salad to chicken sh!t...with abe being the salad...there is no comparison.

It's official, the dems have blown the easiest election of all times....
I'll give the reasons I'm choosing him b/c they're relevant to me and people my age
Obama will make college affordable for all Americans by creating a new American Opportunity Tax Credit. This universal and fully refundable credit will ensure that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students. Obama will also ensure that the tax credit is available to families at the time of enrollment by using prior year's tax data to deliver the credit when tuition is due.
Obama will streamline the financial aid process by eliminating the current federal financial aid application and enabling families to apply simply by checking a box on their tax form, authorizing their tax information to be used, and eliminating the need for a separate application.
Obama has been a leader on educational issues throughout his career. In the Illinois State Senate, Obama was a leader on early childhood education, helping create the state's Early Learning Council. In the U.S. Senate, Obama has been a leader in working to make college more affordable. His very first bill sought to increase the maximum Pell Grant award to $5,100. As a member of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committee, Obama helped pass legislation to achieve that goal in the recent improvements to the Higher Education Act. Obama has also introduced legislation to create Teacher Residency Programs and to increase federal support for summer learning opportunities.

* Obama's Plan to Cover Uninsured Americans: Obama will make available a new national health plan to all Americans, including the self-employed and small businesses, to buy affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress. The Obama plan will have the following features:
1. Guaranteed eligibility. No American will be turned away from any insurance plan because of illness or pre-existing conditions.
2. Comprehensive benefits. The benefit package will be similar to that offered through Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), the plan members of Congress have. The plan will cover all essential medical services, including preventive, maternity and mental health care.
3. Affordable premiums, co-pays and deductibles.
4. Subsidies. Individuals and families who do not qualify for Medicaid or SCHIP but still need financial assistance will receive an income-related federal subsidy to buy into the new public plan or purchase a private health care plan.
5. Simplified paperwork and reined in health costs.
6. Easy enrollment. The new public plan will be simple to enroll in and provide ready access to coverage.
7. Portability and choice. Participants in the new public plan and the National Health Insurance Exchange (see below) will be able to move from job to job without changing or jeopardizing their health care coverage.
8. Quality and efficiency. Participating insurance companies in the new public program will be required to report data to ensure that standards for quality, health information technology and administration are being met.
* National Health Insurance Exchange: The Obama plan will create a National Health Insurance Exchange to help individuals who wish to purchase a private insurance plan. The Exchange will act as a watchdog group and help reform the private insurance market by creating rules and standards for participating insurance plans to ensure fairness and to make individual coverage more affordable and accessible. Insurers would have to issue every applicant a policy, and charge fair and stable premiums that will not depend upon health status. The Exchange will require that all the plans offered are at least as generous as the new public plan and have the same standards for quality and efficiency. The Exchange would evaluate plans and make the differences among the plans, including cost of services, public.
* Employer Contribution: Employers that do not offer or make a meaningful contribution to the cost of quality health coverage for their employees will be required to contribute a percentage of payroll toward the costs of the national plan. Small employers that meet certain revenue thresholds will be exempt.
* Mandatory Coverage of Children: Obama will require that all children have health care coverage. Obama will expand the number of options for young adults to get coverage, including allowing young people up to age 25 to continue coverage through their parents' plans.
* Expansion Of Medicaid and SCHIP: Obama will expand eligibility for the Medicaid and SCHIP programs and ensure that these programs continue to serve their critical safety net function.
* Flexibility for State Plans: Due to federal inaction, some states have taken the lead in health care reform. The Obama plan builds on these efforts and does not replace what states are doing. States can continue to experiment, provided they meet the minimum standards of the national plan.
Lower Costs by Modernizing The U.S. Health Care System
* Reducing Costs of Catastrophic Illnesses for Employers and Their Employees: Catastrophic health expenditures account for a high percentage of medical expenses for private insurers. The Obama plan would reimburse employer health plans for a portion of the catastrophic costs they incur above a threshold if they guarantee such savings are used to reduce the cost of workers' premiums.
* Helping Patients:
1. Support disease management programs. Seventy five percent of total health care dollars are spent on patients with one or more chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. Obama will require that providers that participate in the new public plan, Medicare or the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) utilize proven disease management programs. This will improve quality of care, give doctors better information and lower costs.
2. Coordinate and integrate care. Over 133 million Americans have at least one chronic disease and these chronic conditions cost a staggering $1.7 trillion yearly. Obama will support implementation of programs and encourage team care that will improve coordination and integration of care of those with chronic conditions.
3. Require full transparency about quality and costs. Obama will require hospitals and providers to collect and publicly report measures of health care costs and quality, including data on preventable medical errors, nurse staffing ratios, hospital-acquired infections, and disparities in care. Health plans will also be required to disclose the percentage of premiums that go to patient care as opposed to administrative costs.
* Ensuring Providers Deliver Quality Care:
1. Promote patient safety. Obama will require providers to report preventable medical errors and support hospital and physician practice improvement to prevent future occurrences.
2. Align incentives for excellence. Both public and private insurers tend to pay providers based on the volume of services provided, rather than the quality or effectiveness of care. Providers who see patients enrolled in the new public plan, the National Health Insurance Exchange, Medicare and FEHBP will be rewarded for achieving performance thresholds on outcome measures.
3. Comparative effectiveness research. Obama will establish an independent institute to guide reviews and research on comparative effectiveness, so that Americans and their doctors will have the accurate and objective information they need to make the best decisions for their health and well-being.
4. Tackle disparities in health care. Obama will tackle the root causes of health disparities by addressing differences in access to health coverage and promoting prevention and public health, both of which play a major role in addressing disparities. He will also challenge the medical system to eliminate inequities in health care through quality measurement and reporting, implementation of effective interventions such as patient navigation programs, and diversification of the health workforce.
5. Insurance reform. Obama will strengthen antitrust laws to prevent insurers from overcharging physicians for their malpractice insurance and will promote new models for addressing errors that improve patient safety, strengthen the doctor-patient relationship and reduce the need for malpractice suits.
* Lowering Costs Through Investment in Electronic Health Information Technology Systems: Most medical records are still stored on paper, which makes it hard to coordinate care, measure quality or reduce medical errors and which costs twice as much as electronic claims. Obama will invest $10 billion a year over the next five years to move the U.S. health care system to broad adoption of standards-based electronic health information systems, including electronic health records, and will phase in requirements for full implementation of health IT. Obama will ensure that patients' privacy is protected.
* Lowering Costs by Increasing Competition in the Insurance and Drug Markets: The insurance business today is dominated by a small group of large companies that has been gobbling up their rivals. There have been over 400 health care mergers in the last 10 years, and just two companies dominate a full third of the national market. These changes were supposed to make the industry more efficient, but instead premiums have skyrocketed by over 87 percent.
1. Barack Obama will prevent companies from abusing their monopoly power through unjustified price increases. His plan will force insurers to pay out a reasonable share of their premiums for patient care instead of keeping exorbitant amounts for profits and administration. His new National Health Exchange will help increase competition by insurers.
2. Lower prescription drug costs. The second-fastest growing type of health expenses is prescription drugs. Pharmaceutical companies are selling the exact same drugs in Europe and Canada but charging Americans more than double the price. Obama will allow Americans to buy their medicines from other developed countries if the drugs are safe and prices are lower outside the U.S. Obama will also repeal the ban that prevents the government from negotiating with drug companies, which could result in savings as high as $30 billion. Finally, Obama will work to increase the use of generic drugs in Medicare, Medicaid, and FEHBP and prohibit big name drug companies from keeping generics out of markets.
Fight for New Initiatives
* Advance the Biomedical Research Field: As a result of biomedical research the prevention, early detection and treatment of diseases such as cancer and heart disease is better today than any other time in history. Barack Obama has consistently supported funding for the national institutes of health and the national science foundation. Obama strongly supports investments in biomedical research, as well as medical education and training in health-related fields, because it provides the foundation for new therapies and diagnostics. Obama has been a champion of research in cancer, mental health, health disparities, global health, women and children's health, and veterans' health. As president, Obama will strengthen funding for biomedical research, and better improve the efficiency of that research by improving coordination both within government and across government/private/non-profit partnerships. An Obama administration will ensure that we translate scientific progress into improved approaches to disease prevention, early detection and therapy that is available for all Americans.
* Fight AIDS Worldwide. There are 40 million people across the planet infected with HIV/AIDS. As president, Obama will continue to be a global leader in the fight against AIDS. Obama believes in working across party lines to combat this epidemic and recently joined Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) at a large California evangelical church to promote greater investment in the global AIDS battle.
* Support Americans with Disabilities: As a former civil rights lawyer, Barack Obama knows firsthand the importance of strong protections for minority communities in our society. Obama is committed to strengthening and better enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) so that future generations of Americans with disabilities have equal rights and opportunities. Obama believes we must restore the original legislative intent of the ADA in the wake of court decisions that have restricted the interpretation of this landmark legislation.
Barack Obama is also committed to ensuring that disabled Americans receive Medicaid and Medicare benefits in a low-cost, effective and timely manner. Recognizing that many individuals with disabilities rely on Medicare, Obama worked with Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) to urge the department of health and human services to provide clear and reliable information on the Medicare prescription drug benefit and to ensure that the Medicare recipients were protected from fraudulent claims by marketers and drug plan agents.
* Improve Mental Health Care. Mental illness affects approximately one in five American families. The National Alliance on Mental Illness estimates that untreated mental illnesses cost the U.S. more than $100 billion per year. As president, Obama will support mental health parity so that coverage for serious mental illnesses are provided on the same terms and conditions as other illnesses and diseases.
* Protect Our Children from Lead Poisoning. More than 430,000 American children have dangerously high levels of lead in their blood. Lead can cause irreversible brain damage, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and, at very high levels, seizures, coma and death. As president, Obama will protect children from lead poisoning by requiring that child care facilities be lead-safe within five years.
* Reduce Risks of Mercury Pollution. More than five million women of childbearing age have high levels of toxic mercury in their blood, and approximately 630,000 newborns are born at risk every year. Barack Obama has a plan to significantly reduce the amount of mercury that is deposited in oceans, lakes, and rivers, which in turn would reduce the amount of mercury in fish.
* Support Americans with Autism. More than one million Americans have autism, a complex neurobiological condition that has a range of impacts on thinking, feeling, language, and the ability to relate to others. As diagnostic criteria broaden and awareness increases, more cases of autism have been recognized across the country. Barack Obama believes that we can do more to help autistic Americans and their families understand and live with autism. He has been a strong supporter of more than $1 billion in federal funding for autism research on the root causes and treatments, and he believes that we should increase funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to truly ensure that no child is left behind.
More than anything, autism remains a profound mystery with a broad spectrum of effects on autistic individuals, their families, loved ones, the community, and education and health care systems. Obama believes that the government and our communities should work together to provide a helping hand to autistic individuals and their families.
In 2003, Barack Obama sponsored and passed legislation that expanded health care coverage to 70,000 kids and 84,000 adults. In the U.S. Senate, Obama cosponsored the Healthy Kids Act of 2007 and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2007 to ensure that more American children have affordable health care coverage.
If Obama wins it will be the end of this country. Some crazy redneck will kill him, then the blacks will burn this country down.
Basically any democrat would seek to do those things...if that's the only reason you back him, you don't have a reason. Besides...he'll prolly get 5% of that done...he can't even get bills passed through the Senate as a senator.
I love the part about making insurance companies allow children to stay on parents plan until they are 25....
I work for Blue Cross and United Healthcare, They are gonna say: "No problem, Price just went up"...Basically all that is, is a way to help 22-25 year olds in college mooch off of un-eductated parents, because it is about 1.5 times as expensive to carry a 20 year old on a parents group plan as on their own individual plan, imagine how much for a 24 year old....
So as ussual with Osama, sounds real good to you kids who hang out on the campus all day, but to those of us with real jobs, not so good...

Unlike some here I am not sitting around living on mommy and daddy's money pretending to be getting an education. As you will do one day soon I hope, I WORK for a living. The day I dodge a question from you will be the day I am afraid to leave the house.
Well, I was trying to answer you in kind of a nice way. I assumed you were able to read. But wait, you support Obama. Guess I expected too much.
Would you hoonestly want this man to be the leader of our country? HONESTLY??
To begin with he lacks the experience.
His only platform is "change". No mention of what kind of change.
He refuses to go into detail about anything. Could it be the Chicago mob hasn't told him what to say next??
Since he sat and listened to Jeramiah Wright for over 20 years one would have to assume he is just as radical. Of course he lied about much of that.
Since he has friends who say we should blow up government buildings it would be kind of hard to trust him.
His wife said she had NEVER been proud to be an American until now and most of the time he REFUSES to wear an american flas on his lapel.
He is in the position simply because black people have voted for him because they think he is black. Just like women have voted for Hillary because they think she is a woman. I know you will never be honest enough to admit it but if Obama was 100% white, he does not possess one quality that would make you support him.
Doesn't matter to me if he's black or blue, I won't vote for him because he's a DEMOCRAT!! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
Not saying Obama is the right person for the job, but that statement is the exact reason why we are declining as a country. People looking at party affiliation and race instead of voting on the issues.
I don't care what color he is either. Not at all. And I would LOVE to have a democrat worth voting for. They just can't seem to come up with one.
I saw on the news today that Castro came out in support of Obama. Why does that fail to surprise me???????? Next we will see the Iranian leaders campaigning for him.
As much as I don't get allong with you, you asked a really good question.
All this talk of change. What exactly does he want changed? How exactly does he want to implement it? Is he sure it's going to work? How is it going to work?
okay, im not getting into this
im pretty sure vthokie listed a whole lotta things obama hopes to accomplish, yet he's still not got a plan?
if the best you can to do reject someone as a president is off a crazy ass preacher (hmmm john hagee is a lot better, okay :shrug: ) or lack of political experience, which is valid to an extent.
mccain 124 years old, he was supported by a radical reverend, and plans to keep the troops in iraq till its over.
p.s. im not voting for anyone, im gonna write in ralph wiggum

He is gonna fix SS by making it so you can invest your money in an account of your own? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] No, wait, that is last election's lie. I think it would be good to start a public service program so that all the deserving college kids could pick up trash and wash cars for the working people to pay for their education , instead of making grants easier to get. I mean, all of Obamas are really just another special interest attempt to get a group to vote for him. It would raise taxes same as Bush's tax rebate.
ahh [censored] i forget to address the MLK stuff
preface- im not 100% against communism, so i dont see him being linked to a communist party as a a damning piece of evidence.
to fail to recognize the good brought about by the peaceful demonstrations of MLK is to fail at life.

that's exactly what I wanted you to say...
you said he wasn't qualified...here are the qualifications for being president
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
check, check and check

FAIR AND BALANCED.
Why is it your hero is dodging Bill O ????
He has been invited time and time again but lacks the courage.
Afraid the questions would be too hard ???
