I checked my email and this is there in front of me so I had to share it so someone here can take it a part. Somebody please give it to this asshole Calvin Woodward. :grr:

ETA: sorry, forgot to ad a snip/
"WASHINGTON – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office."

[Webster Green]

1. What's AOL's take on it?

Yahoo :rofl:

[wildbilln864]

2. I don't know. Don't/won't use AOL. nt

[Cush]

3. Yahoo = AP, AP = McCain

[bluestateguy]

4. "How are we going to pay for it?"

I like how this question is always asked by the same annoying people anytime a new program is proposes, UNLESS that new expenditure happens to be going to war.

[LiberalHeart]

11. Yes! The answer is, "The same way we paid for the war, bailout, and tax cuts for the rich."

[Hardrada]

5. Yahoo has been having negative stuff about Obama for some time now.

[iceman66]

6. Probably because the Google execs are supporting Obama.

[Hardrada]

7. Good for them!

[Horse with no Name]

8. Yahoo and news is an oxymoron. n/t

[Canuckistanian]

9. "Less than upfront" is McCain's campaign slogan

Barack should sue.

[rebel with a cause]

10. That is only one of the articles they have on it.

In the one somewhat more balanced piece, the last two paragraphs are worth sharing with you.

"Obama blended his sharp rhetoric with a more humorous approach as he sought to fend off McCain's charge that his tax policies amount to socialism.

McCain, he said, will soon "be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten."
