What a bunch of Morons! How do you think he raises money to pay for the campaign. Of course he has to hold fund raisers! Ther are a bunch of notwits here!

Bad timing . . . very very bad Mr. Oh-I’m-so-close-to-the-common-man! Hello!? He’s so common that he’s hanging with the Hollywood liberals! He should have cancelled or sent a proxy…remember how the Republicans curtailed their convention because of the hurricane?! Guess what Senator Obama . . . there’s a hurricane on Wall Street and you should be hanging out on main street! Shame on you! I’m embarrassed to admit I almost voted for you! Thankfully you’ve helped me see what a stupid decision that would have been.

Mccain’s complaints and retorts are so hollow, he has been one step behind this whole time, when did Mccain dedicate any of his life to help those less fortunate than himself, Obama gave up big money as a lawyer for many years to help others.

READ THIS MCCAIN SUPPORTERS - REALITY CHECK

Obama has walked the walk his whole life, deal with it - and he is smart. Mccain graduated at the bottom of his classs and got elected to the Senate due to his rich wife.

[...] Reuters Blog:: The Democratic presidential candidate spent the day Tuesday campaigning in Colorado, where he talked to supporters about the mortgage crisis that has reshaped Wall Street and caused many people to lose their homes.   Speaking a day after the stock market had its worst day since 2001, he assured a rally in the Denver suburb of Golden that he understood the impact the crisis was having from Wall Street to Main Street.   “Jobs have disappeared, and peoples’ life savings have been put at risk. Millions of families face foreclosure, and millions more have seen their home values plummet,” he said.   “These are the struggles that Americans are facing. This is the pain that has now trickled up.”   Then he jetted off to Los Angeles Tuesday evening for a pair of glitzy fundraisers that could be the biggest for Democrats during this election cycle.

Very confused and wondering no end how the Hollywood elite could promote and contribute money and share their fame to Baracko with his uncertain position for Israel and its never ending conflict with the Palestinians and Arab Muslims. His bio and many say he is not a Muslim. Many also are very wary of his ever changing position on Israel and Jerusalem. Understandable because of his Muslim relations from his dead Kenyan father, Indonesian stepfather and Kenyan grandmother, half brothers half sisters, uncles, cousins, etc.

I see the screeching commentary is alive and well here. Oh well: the perils of democracy!

For those who mock the lazy Hollywood stars as opposed to the hardworking public: who made those stars rich in the first place? Why, the hardworking public with their $10 here and $10 there (incidentally about the amount that the average everyman contributes to Obama to help make the millions - it’s not all huge corporate donatios, though they do exist). So exploration of this point does not enlighten.

For those who mock a $28,000-per-plate fundraiser as a sign of the candidate being “out-of-touch” it would be best to consider the personal histories of both candidates to see which one is truly out of touch - and even more importantly to compare the candidates’ relevant statements about the economy to see even further who is out of touch. Obama has spent part of his life working the “social trenches” and does not even approach the personal wealth that McCain’s estate possesses. But it is hard to avoid McCain’s own sense that he doesn’t think that the economy is in the kind of trouble that Obama correctly perceives.

The fundraiser per se - no matter the amounts of cash involved - say nothing about either candidate being out of touch, as such activities are the nature of the campaign beast today, a beast that the American public refuses to tame.

Why not report the rest of the facts about Obama’s Hollywood fundraiser? That he could not stay for dinner, that he showed up very late, that he left to continue working and that when he thanked everyone who came to hear him speak, he reminded them that the campaign is “about those who will never see the inside of a building like this and don’t resent the success that’s represented in this room, but just want the simple chance to be able to find a job that pays a living wage.”

One of the most cynical things I’ve ever heard John McCain say is that he’d rather be with the good working people in that diner last night, than hob nobbing with celebrities. For the vast majority of his life, John McCain has lived a life of privileged luxury. We hear constantly about his POW years, which you’d expect would have motivated him to come home and do EVERYTHING he could to improve the lot of brave servicemen, yet he did worse than nothing, he voted against substantive reforms. His life’s political work has been to serve and protect the rich elites who keep him where he is - that’s how he votes and that’s what he believes in. Trying to tarnish Obama with that same brush is untruthful and kind of sinister. Every child is told this is the land of the free, where anyone can achieve anything. That’s what Obama has done and now it’s clear from the way he’s being attacked that the so called dream that is America is intended only for those who are the right color, or who come from the right elites.

Don’t journalists have some kind of obligation to be balanced, fair and truthful?
Are you a qualified journalist Mr. Alexander, by that I mean, did you actually go to an accredited University to study the rules of your craft, or are you just a Republican delivery boy?

McCain gave a fundraiser last month at $50,000 per person and nobody said a thing. He’s a hypocrite. As for the economy his former?top adviser Graham is the one who halted regulation controls(you idiots)Also McCain was on the on the Senate Commerce Committee and he didn’t learn a thing about the economy.Folks! Wake up before it’s to late………..Sarah Palin is a JOKE..
