I doubt he knew anything about this incident, and I don't know what sorts of problems, if any, this guy had. I am not seeing any sort of an issue with this particular story.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-78202126878119036792008-04-22T13:12:00.000-07:002008-04-22T13:12:00.000-07:00Mike Volpe said:"Far be it for me to defend Obama,...Mike Volpe said:<BR/>"Far be it for me to defend Obama, but while this episode is disgusting, it wasn't done by him, and it was done by his advisor when he wasn't working for him, and frankly wasn't working for him at all."<BR/>OK, but you have proved my original point. The issue is Obama's judgment in choosing his advisors, associates, friendships, campaign workers, etc. It does not matter if the guy wasn't working for Obama. He had been part of the campaign and even if he no longer works for Obama now, it still points to Obama's image problem, a problem that is not going to go away and which the Republicans will exploit to full advantage through November.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-83864454729188659162008-04-22T08:15:00.000-07:002008-04-22T08:15:00.000-07:00Far be it for me to defend Obama, but while this e...Far be it for me to defend Obama, but while this episode is disgusting, it wasn't done by him, and it was done by his advisor when he wasn't working for him, and frankly wasn't working for him at all. It is one thing to have a twenty year relationship with a bigot. It is another to be friendly with a terrorist. This, on the other hand, is rather contrived. This man should apologize. Obama should apologize and frankly he should be fired, but this is a faux scandal.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-29640779210780501172008-04-22T08:02:00.000-07:002008-04-22T08:02:00.000-07:00Today, yet another gaffe was reportedly committed ...Today, yet another gaffe was reportedly committed by an Obama staff member and this one insulted Christians everywhere - i.e., the majority of voters in America. Presenting an effeminate Jesus singing, "I will survive" on You Tube is the last straw for me. When you start to add up one insult and "gaffe" after another, one association with vile persons after another, you get the picture of a man who either has no clue about the kind of people he befriends, associates with, accepts advice from, has working for him and so forth - or he knows very well what kind of views they hold and secretly shares them. Either way, Obama is unfit to hold the highest office in the land and I would be frightened to imagine that the future of my country is in his hands. For those who are interested, here is the link to the latest Obama campaign insult directed against Jesus, the One who is loved, adored, and revered as the Savior and Lord of millions of Christian in this nation.<BR/>http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=62204Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-71782255122191394262008-04-22T07:24:00.000-07:002008-04-22T07:24:00.000-07:00Let me see if I get your logic.

Any questions of character directed at Obama are trivial and irrelevant and at the same time any questions of character directed at John McCain are "real issues". Now, that comment redefines kool aid drinking partisanship.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-31413603080746060562008-04-21T21:23:00.000-07:002008-04-21T21:23:00.000-07:00Sunday morning, McCain appeared on "SOFTBALL With ...Sunday morning, McCain appeared on "SOFTBALL With George Stephanopoulos." George followed the line of questioning dictated to him by HRC and the GOP, but he still looked mighty intimidated by McCain. George must have read <BR/> <BR/>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/19/AR2008041902224.html<BR/><BR/>before the interview. He was afraid that McCain would blow up on the spot, especially after McCain referred to George as “my friend.” Look out George, you’re in trouble now!<BR/><BR/>Best moment of the show was when George pointed out that McCain has been the recipient of government-run healthcare his entire life. McCain called it a cheap shot. The truth is like that sometimes. <BR/><BR/>Let's start talking about a real issue in the general election, McCain's unsuitability for the presidency. His well-documented, out-of control anger, complemented by rudeness, filthy language in public (even against his wife), physical intimidation, arrogance and vindictiveness cannot be ignored. How do these serious character flaws impact his judgment? How can someone this unstable and small minded be a serious contender for the presidency?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
