Skip School for Obama

28 October 2008 14 Comments Download My Toolbar!

Senator Obama wants children to skip school next Tuesday and he wants their parents to skip work. The campaign is launching a new 30 second television ad urging his followers to ditch their responsibilities so they can volunteer for his campaign on Election Day.

“We can’t win this election unless every Obama supporter gets out and votes on November 4th. To do that, we need a massive team of volunteers helping us. Can you take next Tuesday off from work, join the final push, and make sure that everyone who supports Barack turns out to vote?” asks the Web page hosting the ad.

Here’s what the McCain campaign said:

“Apparently Barack Obama believes that you can’t ‘make history’ by doing your job, or going to school, or caring for your kids. Apparently Barack Obama thinks the only way Americans can make history is by voting, and working, for Barack Obama,” McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb said in a statement to FOXNews.com. “It’s the arrogance of a man who believes Americans either support his candidacy or cling bitterly to guns and religion out of fear and xenophobia.”

    Why not. McCain is an old man who belongs in the 1950s. He fails to understand that it is his kind that have brought us to the edge of financial ruin. Time for a change McCain and that change is not you.

    Why do you lie all the time about Obama? Youi know he isn’t a terrorist. Why don’t you talk about Todd Palin who is terrorist. He belongs to a group of people who are separatist, who hate America, and wish it would burn, Sarah Palin agrees with these people. It was in 2006 that she attended a meeting with group in Alaska and what they said about America would have made Fox network mad. Why don’t you talk about that on your shows. Its so easy to call Obama names like terrorist, a lair, traitor, [omitted] .and to say “kill Him” in the rallies that Palin attends. In fact she started on ths hate about Obama. I don’t want anyone in the White House who Hates America. You can find where i got my informatin from the HBO network “the Bill Mahers Show. But you are news people, “dig it up”. “I approve this message”.

    That’s the reason why there are so many more people at Obama rallys than there are at McCain’s:

    McCain supports are at WORK!

    Obama’s supports are in anticipation on “spreading the wealth around.”
    (Welfare State)
    Explaining Socialism- for those of you who don’t understand what “spreading the wealth around” means.

    It’s Halloween and you go out with your friends and trick-or-treat for hours- knocking on doors in the dark and the cold, collecting all your candy goodies.

    When you get home, cold, tired and hungry you begin to sort through your hard earned Halloween treats and then- “THEY” step in and say “Stop! You must give US half of your candy (since you have SO MUCH)- so that WE can give it to the children who were too lazy to buy or make a Halloween costume and exert the effort to go out into the dark and cold- to get THEIR SHARE.”

    THAT, People, is what Socialism is about.

    McCain-Palin 2008
    Don’t let the media, polls, pundits or long lines discourage you!
    VOTE McCain Palin 2008!

    A note to A. Powell:

    to be a secret service agent, you have to have a bachelors degree, and NO connection to terrorism. And with the obama-aryes connection, barack obama would not be qualified to protect the president. maybe he should not be the president!

  • Carolyn said:

    I’ve been voting for 30 years and never got the day off to vote. Why now? Obama wants to give tax cuts, handouts and now time off work that costs the boss. He sure is generous with everybody else’s money and time.

  • Carolyn said:

    A.Powell, where have you been buddy. No one said “kill him” at Sarah Palin’s rally. That was investigated by the FBI and Secret Service and even a police officer who was standing in the area where they said it came from said it didn’t happen. They all said it didn’t happen. But I guess you like the lie so you ignore the FBI and the Secret Service and keep telling it. But it makes you look like you’re just ranting.

    American Man,
    McCain hasn’t brought us to financial ruin. There is blame to go around but it’s not McCains. The Democrats and I’m sure you know who they are, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, John Kerry, Barak Obama, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, and the entire Black Caucus, all worked to stop regulation of FM & FM so they could buy the bad loans from the banks who were being forced by the Dems to make bad loans to minorities and other people who couldn’t afford them to buy homes they couldn’t afford even if they did have a job. the banks resisted so Dems, initiated fines for banks who wouldn’t make bad loans and got the loans insured by FM & FM which loosened up the credit and banks made bad loans, sold them to FM who bundled them and sold them on Wall Street. The prices of houses rose and the only limit to the prices was what the appraisers said, who were paid off by realtors to get a higher fee from the sale, the banks were encouraged to make more loans, prices went higher they all made money until the gas crunch hit. People stopped paying, adjustable rates adjusted up, Wall Street was left with a lot of worthless loans on property that was no longer valued according to the amount the bank would lend. During the 2 ears of Democrat control of Congress 2006-2008 before the crash FM & FM made donations to Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, Chuch Schumer, John Kerry..anyway you get the gist..they all had their hand out and Barack Obama was the second highest receipient after Chris Dodd. Instead of voting for Obama for President he and the rest of his crew should be looking at impeachment for letting the Peple down and perpetrating a massive fraud in kahoots with FM & FM.

    Just what we need – LESS EDUCATION and WORK. Sounds like a great first step to the Obama economic policy. Wait, I know, pick up an illegal and bring him to the rally day could be tomorrow! There he can sign up with an ACORN rep and get a driver's license at the same time. His WIC check should be ready by the time the ink is dry on his license. Get rid of Obama – he is the next JFK – all charm, no substance.

  • Mary Lou Harris said:

    What in the world is going on? I say Obama is out of his head!!!! I have never heard of such nonscence and I have been around for 81 years. The average American worker can't loose a day's work with the economy as it is.

    Socialism is also a long line to see a doctor. And doctors don't realy care about you, besause they all got same pay and will have reason to have more clients.
    Socialism will also criate a corruption, because burocrats will be in power.

  • Chris Hilton said:

    Wow, some of you are ignorant. If you look at the youtube video it doesn't tell kids to skip school, just college kids. Key words, "Ask your professor".

  • Diane said:

    Well of course he asks COLLEGE kids you idiot! They are the only ones OLD enough TO VOTE! Wow Chris talk about IGNORANT! The above blogger was referring to OBAMA's kids and the example he is setting.

  • conservative and proud said:

    YOU are ignorant. college kids ARE kids. Too bad there isn't a law preventing anyone under 40 from voting. Young people might have more energy, but they sure are lacking in common sense and wisdom, which is far different than intelligence and can't be measured by a cheap IQ test. I'm sure Hitler had a high IQ, so don't give me that crap about how smart college kids are. When people grow up, they often regret the decisions they made in their youth. Obama knew that his base needed to include young people in order to be successful in his quest for the White House, since older liberals are not the majority in the United States. There is no such thing as an old fool.

    Sounds like great idea, Now we'll allocate that time
    to go throw the entire infestion of capitol hill scum out
    before this great country becomes an OBAMAnation.
