If he could Obama would take credit for his own conception and birth. :eek:

[Centipede]

I saw this on Fox this morning. I nearly spit out my coffee when I heard it. I hope the American public isn't dumb enough to fall for it.

[foxyladi]

NOT SURPRISED this has always been bo .s
modus opererndi

[Mrsawd]

More false BS from Obama !
Taking credit for what is not his to take !

McCain should be the One coming forth and taking credit for helping save the Tax Payers money!

[nette60]

The fact of the matter.....If Obama and the DEMs wanted to pass this bill as it was they could have because they have the votes. the reason they didn't was because of the Republicans....The Dems knew they were trying to hoodwink the public but wanted the republicans to take part of the blame. When the Republicans put up a fight the bill changed.....Obama was trying to push through his bulls### for ACORN and other wastes.

[mjno7777]

Someone should POINT BLANK ask: "Why are you taking credit?" His MO is to say anything and most naive people will accept it. HE NEEDS to be called on everything. The list is so large.

[Tea toaD]

And so the saga continues. JM stopped campaigning, Obama continues to campaign, and now he takes credit for this. What in the heck is wrong with this picture? I'm sure everyone in the media will be swooning once again. I don't think JM has a chance in he!! against this corrupt machine...honestly:mad:

[HumbleDave]

"Here are the facts: For two weeks I was on the phone everyday with Secretary Paulson and the congressional leaders making sure that the principles that have been ultimately adopted were incorporated in the bill," Obama said.

So let me get this right. A bailout bill hasn't just been whipped together within the last few days, but was a work in progress by Paulson (and his undercover Dem insiders) for two weeks now, well before the media's clamoring the middle of this last week about the fiscal sky falling? There's a serious time line disconnect here.

Obama needs a smack down. On camera, on air. This has gone beyond lies and grandstanding.:mad:

[nette60]

Set up? to cover his butt...He knows in truth it was John MCCain. I wish Bush or somebody would come out and say the truth...

[cynthia2]

I have real doubts on any bailout actually working because there is still an issue of the slide of the dollar and the undoing of the dollar as the global reserve currency, which will most likely continue or accelerate, bailout or no bailout. So, Obama taking credit may just turn out to be the very best thing for McCain and the worst thing for Obama.

No matter what they do with the bailout, I believe we are still in for a rough ride economically. If Obama claims credit and the markets tank anyway, egg will be all over his face and at that point McCain can shake his head and say anything he wants about how he felt about the bailout, because at this point, he's not really on record agreeing or disagreeing with any of it.

McCain is a smart man, I have to believe he has a game plan.

[samkm]

Write to weekendlive@foxnews.com and give full credit to McCain for any bipartisanship accomplished so far.

[santafek]

I offer an alternative view to BO's taking credit. This bailout bill is very UNpopular with the American public. Why would he want to take credit for it?

[CT-Hilltopper]

For the first time in my life, I am simply speechless.

I am so angry, I have lost the ability to speak.

You'd better duck and cover, Obama. I have a feeling your chestnuts are going to be roasting on that open fire very soon.

[DC_Mark]

Does the MSM has enough decency left to call Obama out on this? Or will they fabricate a bunch stories to back up this bogus claim? I don't feel optimistic.

[CT-Hilltopper]

Journalism died this year. This whole election has just made me sick, from beginning to end.

[Isis46]

This is what McCain said on "Face the Nation":

Stephanopoulos: "What role did you play? How were you helpful do you believe in the process?"

John McCain: "I will let you and others be the judge of that. I did the best that I could. I came back because I wasn't going to phone it in. America is in a crisis of almost unprecedented proportions. I should be doing whatever little I can to help this process. I'm a Teddy Roosevelt Republican. I got to get in the arena when America needs it, and if that judgment wants to be made whether I helped or hurt, I'll be glad to accept the judgment of history. But I'm never going to not get engaged when the taxpayers and middle class of America are in danger of losing everything literally that they've worked all their lives for. I'm going to be out working on it. I won't claim a bit of credit, okay, if that makes them feel better. But I'm going to be there working and trying to help solve this crisis. And I'm proud of John Boehner and Roy Blunt and Adam Putnam and all of the guys and men and women, Marsha Blackburn and others who in the House of Representatives stood up and got into these negotiations and became part of the solution."

I could cry, it was so dignified in comparison. Yet, the polls seem to be showing they are buying Barry's pap.

I would say the Las Vegas odds just went up a little higher.

[sarge]

If I am the Repubs, I blow the deal up right now!

[samkm]

Just heard: ACORN funding has been thrown out. (FOXNews) -- Shannon Bream, Reporter/Washington, Foxnews.
This would be a good win if it goes through.

Then why is the funding still at $700B?

[HumbleDave]

Ditto sarge. There's no justice or equal opportunity to be had in the media anymore. Let the house of cards collapse. Let it all collapse. Every old growth forests needs a fire every so often to clean out the accumulated trash and debris. Old woodsmen and loggers used to set them intentionally for such purpose, to regenerate the forests with new growth.

Go ahead. Hit the reset button.

[hillarymyhero]

Yes, I heard that too. what can you expect from Obama who is an established liar and cunning man.

Look what he did with Hillary, he took all the credit for plagiarizing Hillary's policies.

What happened in Primary? Hillary was all about economy and issues...and Obama was all about change..........Hillary was all about solutions for America and Obama was all about his stupid change...change what?



We can not have four more years of Bush in the form of Obama, who is another Bush....war monger.

[JamieKuuipo]

The Dems Come Out Like Rescuers Pelosi Makes Me Sick!!!

[AKFamily]

I just don't know what's going on anymore; I've never been through this kind of an election. It's no secret I'm a Republican and while I didn't care for Gore or Kerry (recent memory) they were also not complete scum bags like Obama. I really didn't like Kerry, but I respected Gore even though I didn't agree with him. Coming from a family of Democrats (good midwest folk) I can't believe how this party has been hijacked by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. I can't imagine that the majority of Democrats agree with them :(

[CT-Hilltopper]

John McCain: "I will let you and others be the judge of that. I did the best that I could. I came back because I wasn't going to phone it in. America is in a crisis of almost unprecedented proportions. I should be doing whatever little I can to help this process. I'm a Teddy Roosevelt Republican.

I am so damn proud of this man.

His humbleness just slays me. Country first, always.

I will do whatever I can to get him in the White House, but if we lose, I won't shed a tear for either John McCain or myself. I will be crying for this country. America would have had the channce to have elected it's choice of two great leaders, either Hillary Clinton or John McCain, and in their place it chose a crook, an imposter, and an empty suit.

[Michelle M]

McCain or some surrogate of his needs to inform the country that he made sure that the PORK known as ACORN got taken out.

He is too humble to mention it.

But Obama is standing there trumpeting his own horn with no problem.

If it weren't for us, and concerned Americans and some Republicans, it would be chock full of earmarks. (And who knows -- might still be.)

I am SO DONE with Obama taking credit and claiming McCain did nothing.

Something has got to give.

The media is letting Obama go full steam ahead. Fox and Michelle Malkin and a few blog sites aren't buying , but the public IS.

I can't even speak right now. Can you believe this @#%$^ is taking the credit for the bailout!!!

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/28/obama-mccain-gets-credit-wall-street-bailout


Are the McCain people going to fire back? Honestly, this is getting so annoying. What is going on here?

you know this could backfire on Obama. The bailout is still not that popular with people. I am happy if McCain gets credit for making it a bit more acceptable (by cutting out a lot of pork). I know he worked hard to get a better deal for the people and to drum up some republican support.

But in general the bailout is likely to be a big liability--I am happy that so many of those I am upset with (Reid, Pelosi, Obama) will be tied to it...

[ILBlue]

Of course he took credit. What did you expect.

On another note looking at the list of House members involved bothers me.

Why is it ALWAYS the Far left and Far Right that get there way.

If this bill is the work of these 2 ends of the Legislature we are screwed.

None of the Republicans mentioned above are worth anything at all.

Marsha Blackburn .....please..........! Talk about highly partisan hack , she is.

When are we going to get away from the Dodds Kerrys of the left and these far right Congress people?/

We will not benefit in anyway if we do not. They do not work for the American Taxpayers ...they have agendas.

[samkm]

Pelosi called the House GOP members UNPATRIOTIC for not coming to the table earlier. She has some nerve.

[hillarymyhero]

I am so damn proud of this man.

His humbleness just slays me. Country first, always.

I will do whatever I can to get him in the White House, but if we lose, I won't shed a tear for either John McCain or myself. I will be crying for this country. America would have had the channce to have elected it's choice of two great leaders, either Hillary Clinton or John McCain, and in their place it chose a crook, an imposter, and an empty suit..........

Yes, I can't agree MORE. Yes, my heart cries out loud, that we had Hillary( the most intelligent of all) and now McCain( the greatest leader) and look what these people are doing?

When will we learn from our mistakes?

[Pepper]

I offer an alternative view to BO's taking credit. This bailout bill is very UNpopular with the American public. Why would he want to take credit for it?

Exactly. I thinkk your alternative view sounds sooo much better. Let's hope it sticks to him like glue.

And seriously, like BHO could manage the bailout bill. What an ego he has. It's like me saying that I took care of it. Uggh.

[samkm]

Write to weekendlive@foxnews.com and give full credit to McCain for any bipartisanship accomplished so far.

Write!!

[hillaryhoosier]

Yes he took care of it by phone from the gym.

His little act is working his up by 8 in Gallup and 5 in Rasmussen today.

The fact that he does NOTHING and gets a huge bounce in the polls irritates me to no end.

[Lealy]

Just heard: ACORN funding has been thrown out. (FOXNews) -- Shannon Bream, Reporter/Washington, Foxnews.
This would be a good win if it goes through.

Then why is the funding still at $700B?

The % that ACORN or other groups would have gotten was to come out of the profits. So when the securities were sold 6 months from now or whenever they sold the money would go to ACORN instead of paying down the deficit that is about to ballooned by 700B.

[Mike78]

This pisses me off to no end, I absolutely hate to see people take credit for things when they clearly don't deserve it. The GOP needs to get out there and counter this on as many TV/radio shows as possible.

[cynthia2]

Then why is the funding still at $700B?

ACORN was to get 20% of any PROFITS that might come from the deal.

[HumbleDave]

Obama supports the fraud laden mortgage giants who helped create the sub prime and mortgage meltdown, sending the economy down in a tail spin, then claims credit for putting together the plan to save it......mostly by phone.

Did anyone get pictures of him tapping his staff on the blank sheet of paper and turning it into the miracle cure all plan for the economy? Surely an event of such biblical proportions was documented for historical posterity.

[Molly]

Disgrace - Just like obama - he is an Arrogant Radical FRAUD!!!!!

[Bad Kitty]

If he wants to take the responsibility for robbing honest, responsible tax payers of their money for the irresponsible and crooks, then let him.

The down ticket Dems can consider my vote gone.

[Ca Teacher]

Obama didn't HAVE to do anything--the Democrats were already behind this bill.

They had the votes to pass it from the beginning.

But they didn't have the Republicans on board. McCain was VERY much needed to deliver the Republican votes so that it could pass.

[diane]

Well.... as the Messiah and President of the World he gets to take credit for everything he feels like.... but check back often because what he takes credit for now may not necessarily be what he takes credit for 2seconds later. And don't misunderstand--you misunderstood, that's all.

[Tom Terrific]

If he could Obama would take credit for his own conception and birth. :eek:

LOL :D

You know, if this guy manages to win in November, I wonder what he'll do to the people who opposed him, and how far down the food chain he'll go to extract revenge? He seemed to go out of his way to gig Hillary after he drove her out, and that was in front of 300 million people. What do you think he and his minions will do when virtually no one is looking?

Are we preparing for that? Between Nov 5 and Jan whenever, it might be a good idea to lay the groundword for some sort of resistance movement by establishing lines of communication. Wouldn't take much effort, and just might come in very handy. I imagine we have been under scrutiny at least since this board came to prominence. Tracing individual users can't be that difficult; what you can't do with mere technology you can accomplish with bribes and threats. We may need to know who one another are ... just in case some of us fall off the radar ....

[seawave]

I am beginning to believe that Obama really believes the lies he spews. It seems that anything coming out of his mouth must be right because he said it. That appears to be his mentality. Most corrupt politicians at least have some common sense to say garbage in a way that doesn't sound so self worshipping. Not this guy. I noticed the photo with the Fox news article. He is beginning to look like a vulture. He arches over his prey (The United States Of America) and all her citizens as he waits to destroy everything we hold dear. He doesn't have an ounce of empathy, compassion, or respect for anything American in his psyche. He likes to bully, lie, posture, take credit for everything that others work on and pose. Posing is his main occupation. The Dems in Congress who support him need to wake-up. He will throw them out with yesterdays garbage as soon as he thinks he cannot suck any more blood out of them. John McCain works to help resolve problems. He doesn't have the need to take credit. He serves. He doesn't need to be worshipped. The Dems have a candidate with real emotional problems. They are enabling this destructive behavior to grow. It is a dangerous path they walk.

[Tybee]

I've been a republican all my life, there's good and bad in each side. This is the first time I've been truly afraid of what's happening in the US. It seems like the MSM and others that there's nothing that can come out that would be enough to stop this. It's truly like they are under a spell. I started noticing what was really happening back when it was Hillary vs Obama, was scared then. First time I heard OB talk, I felt something wasn't right. I told my husband that even though I thought Hillary would have a better chance at beating Mccain, I'd rather her beat OB, because that guy gave me the creeps. (hubby almost passed out lol) In other words, I wanted someone, anyone in the WH as long as I knew they LOVED this country, and it wasn't Obama.


We can't give up though, there's still time.

[kathleen]

LOL :D

I thought of that and agree. How do we go about it?

[kathleen]

We can't give up though, there's still time.

But not much. And what's left of time is running out swiftly. I believe we are in the midst of a great conspiracy being fast tracked by the MSM who are directly behind it.

It is scarey how much power the MSM was given. They can destroy someone anytime they wish for any reason, evem 'make believe' reasons. They formulate the news. Direct it. Censor it. And print whatever slander they choose to and create false witnesses as verification.

We need to dump the MSM as much as we need to overthrow BO along with ANYONE who helped him rise.

[Mit Mar]

:( ! Oh No He Didn't, He Is The Worst Of All Frauds.

[Justmy.02]

McCain's statement got out there, just as Obama's fraudulent claim. Folks will have to decide which is most presidential. We have to do our part to make sure the truth gets out, in whatever way we can.

[Suzan]

This is what McCain said on "Face the Nation":

This is an amazing statement and Mac is an amazing man, unparalleled in our time in many ways. I have to believe the country--or enough of them to elect him, please God--can see this. They can see through the false posturing by The One and somewhere in their hearts they know that McCain is doing what he's always done, putting the country and its people first.

Barack may be the one, but McCain is the RIGHT one.

You nailed it. I wish we could transform your post into a full page ad and publish it in every major newspaper. So simple. SO TRUE!!!!

[kwise]

Sad to say they are that gullible... I had a member of my family who has always voted Rep. tell me they are voting BO because McCain is too old, Palin has no experience, and BO speaks well :confused::confused::confused:

I told them don't listen to the TV do your own research - look up Ayers, Rezko,ect.. I got the yeah ok dismissive rebuttle.

This person is a pediatric nurse practitioner so I sent her the info on BO voting record on the born alive act. Maybe that will be a wake up, but I doubt it.

[mjoynaples]

You nailed it. I wish we could transform your post into a full page ad and publish it in every major newspaper. So simple. SO TRUE!!!!


me too... any possiblity?

[Tom Terrific]

I thought of that and agree. How do we go about it?

Well, let's see. I don't have personal experience, so these are just stream-of-consciousness ideas.

First: Since the enemy will know who we are anyway, the only people who will be frustrated by any effort to keep our identities secret is each other. Thus, we should publish our identities and contact information openly. If everybody knows who we are, they won't try to secretly cart us all off to some black hole because they wouldn't be able to explain the "coincidence." If worst comes to worst, we are history, anyway; we've trusted in our country's heritage and tradition of freedom of speech, and acted accordingly. They'll know who we are; the ones they won't know are those we recruit after. So we may as well go public.

Second: Even if resistance only takes the form of disseminating prohibited information, you need an efficient organizational form. Isn't the cell structure such a form? You set it up to function autonomously, in case contact is broken? and only one line of contact? I'm stretching my recall here; I don't make it a practice to remember things of this nature. Anyway, some sort of efficient structure is necessary.

[NBM]

McCain is a fine man, dignity and guts, but he's also very smart. He knows the bailout is only a temporary reprieve from the economic challenges ahead of us.

Only a fool would want to take any credit for this bailout. Obama is a wimp and a fool. I also think Paulson should be fired. Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, and Frank should be run out of town.

[Maddie Kaddison]

I'm surprised Obama didn't say something to the effect of "I have a bailout bill too". Honestly, he looks like a hypocrite. Wasn't he the one screaming about McCain trying to make this a political issue? Ironic that he's the first one out of the gate claiming credit. I loathe him.

I need to pray for tolerance and anger management because Obama seriously brings me to rage. His ego is beyond description.
