How Racism Works Against Obama
How Racism Works
--------------------
What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
--------------------
What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said "I do" to?
What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no longer
measured up to his standards?
--------------------
What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain
killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
--------------------
What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5?
What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
====================
If these questions reflected reality, do you think the polls would be as
close as they are?
What is it that rationalizes and minimizes a black candidate's positive
qualities and qualifications?
You're The Boss ... which team would you hire with America facing historic
debt, two wars (to date), stumbling health care, a weak dollar, all-time
high prison population, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc?

Pinocchio Politics - McCain and Palin's Lies
Here's some great stuff from their "List of Lies" page:
World Wide Web of Lies
It's tough to keep up with the "blizzard of lies" coming from the McCain campaign, but here are a few sites that can help :
"Unraveling the myth of the Straight Talk Express"-- an Obama campaign memo, posted on the TIME Magazine site, lays out Myth & Fact in detail
McCain-i-pedia's "Count the Lies"
Politi-fact's "Truth-O-Meter"
LieCount - More GOP Whoppers
"Lies to Nowhere" -- Think Progress tracks all the lies about the Bridge to Nowhere.
We have an economic Crisis.
What's McCain's Response -Lie!
Our economy is in crisis and all John McCain can do is lie. He's making the totally false case that Barack Obama doesn't have a plan for the economic crisis. "Senator Obama," he says, "has still not offered any plan of any kind." In fact Obama has offered a plan. And its McCain that has been notably short on details on how he would handle this crisis.
