Has anyone even acknowledged the fact Obama is a gentleman in this race?

Question

He hasn't stooped to levels that others have to get the nomination and people are calling him weak because he won't go dirty. I admire him for saying leave the kids out of this and for not telling McCain to quit with the I'm a POW, how many times you gonna use that excuse? Yeah you served you country but dude you chose to stay there, they were going to let you go.

Answer 1

This would fly in the Face of all their Hate, so they will not admit it no matter what he does.

Answer 2

Won't 'go dirty'? Who do you think directed the dysfunctional liberals to go after a pregant 17 yr old girl?  Who ranted and whined at their convention? You people are so blinded to real truth, it is not even funny!

Answer 3

mccain chose to stay there because he knew that it wasn't fair for him to leave and others to stay...it's called courage . Obama is trying to make it seem as if he is above all the smear tactics , yet his followers are extreme and aggressive enough so he doesn't have to do anything.

Answer 4

Obama contacted his supporters by email and instructed them that the Palin family laundry (not his words) was off limits.  I intend to do what he told me to do, and that is stick to the issues and not hurl insults at hypocrites.

Answer 5

Ok, I'll admit he has had some class.  He still wants to maintain the status quo though, so he won't have my vote.

Answer 6

Yeah, It's been acknowledged. But it's hard to hear over his followers carrying his water for him.

Answer 7

You are right....Senator McCain pledged to lead a gentlemanly, non negative campaign. His wife was even on the Today Show back in May, stated he was a man of his word when he said that, there would be no negative campaigning....Well, he broke his word.

I also admire the 'family's are off limits, kids especially' stance that Senator Obama has taken all along.

Again, it's hypocritical on Senator McCain's part given recent events to demand privacy, then turn around and bring Mrs. Palin's soon to be son in law to St. Paul to join them out at the convention....

I sense his decision was made with a different motive in mind...and it's sad on so many levels....mostly for the children involved.

I was hoping for some serious discussion, instead it's just more startling news every day....

Answer 8

I have never even seen a candidate use more ridiculous blows than Obama, there is none stop dirt on Obama that McCain does not use and Obama can not shut up about McCains age.  Obama is almost the same age as his mother when she died and he is a chain smoker.  McCain will bury him.

Answer 9

Has anyone even acknowledged the fact Obama is a gentleman in this race that doesn't say anything but "change"?

He want's to bring change.

He wants to bring change to the change and change the things he wants changed so we can have change.

Has anyone even acknowledged the fact Obama hasn't really mentioned "WHAT" he wants to change?

Answer 10

He has to bring something to the table  

Answer 11

Obama pretends to be above the fray, while Obama sends his attack dogs out to slur everyone who opposes him.

Remember, Obama is the one who filed lawsuits against Alice Palmer and everyone he was running against for Illinois Legislature and got their petitions for office thrown out. Then, unqualified Obama walked into the Illinois Legislature unopposed.

Obama is a loser.

Answer 12

I would think if Obama was a "gentleman" half of Hillarys supporters wouldn't be voting for McCain.

Answer 13

Obama is having his cake and eating it, too. he knows darn well that his supporters are all over the web like fire ants spreading lies and filth about Palin.

Answer 14

He has really stayed above the lowest parts.  I have even heard a couple of cons on here admit that.  They still don't agree with him, but they were happy he did not get sleazy with the prego Palin thing.

Answer 15

Obamanaybe gentleman but hat does not give him executive experience remove fact he frieends with Bill Ayers who walked on US falg,, did not hear Rev. Jeremiah Wright ,,think before you vote then vote for your country not your party

Answer 16

yes this is true but he'll never get credit he's black remember JOHN MCCAIN is already making bad decisions he's moved by fear but honestly i'm in the medical profession and this is so common with kids today poor kids,rich kids,middle class's kidsare all falling into early parenthood and a lot of the parents are raising their grand kids so their kids can still have a normal life you cannot watch your kids all day everyday trust me i see this all the time everyone should just leave this little girl alone good grief  its not that bad a least she didn't kill her baby don't torment her for choosing life and not death!!!

Answer 17

I've known and admired this about him for some time. I respect him. He truly is a remarkable leader.

Answer 18

Obama cant throw stones,His mother was in the same situation, He was protecting his own behind, Obama is 10 years from being qualified to be president,I can understand the Blacks voting for him out of pride,But the man  will bring this country in the wrong direction.McCain refused to leave because some men had been prisoners longer than he was, there is a moral code and he stood by it.He is a real man.

Answer 19

He has been a gentleman. Imagine if he were all angry-like. That definitely wouldn't help him. Still, he shows tremendous discipline in being able to keep up the gentlemanly farce.

Answer 20

You need to read more - yes they would have let him go, but he had to leave his men behind. It's called honor.  

Answer 21

You say he is not dirty, but he has dirty people working for him.

How many times is he going to use the 5 million dollar line, when he knows that was a joke.

How many times is he going to talk about his momma, and daddy that didnt raise him.

That is beginning of political story, the fact is he has done a lot for his country, it didnt start 4 years ago, he started at age 17.

Excuse Mr McCain for having more history, and record than Obama does.

I didnt know a POW was an excuse, he has never used it to say that makes me qualified, he uses it to say I am willing to do anything for the country, including taking pain.

Obviously you need to hear the story again.

Obama always refers to being a community orgainzer, that is when he first started serving his country, McCain refers to his service record because that is when he started servicing his country.

If I was a community organizer, and running for presidnet. I might want to keep that hush, hush too,

If I was a war hero I think I would used that. ITs not manufactured, it really happened.

McCain has done everything Obama says he wants to do.

Answer 22

Because "They" will scare you and say I don't look like the Presidents on the Dollar Bills.

It's nice how you can label an entire group of people racist... simply because you need it to be so.

Gentleman, my butt...

Answer 23

he nice and all but i dont want him 2 be pres

Answer 24

Us Rednecks would not vote for a gentleman.  We want a real man.

Answer 25

pimps don't do the dirty work. only his hos get their knees dirty. the good words you heard him say was nice but that's called playin the role. he's playin captain save a ho. anyways who's doin the diggin for all the negatives on palin? how that stuff get on the media....his crew is doin it.

about mccaine:

they were going to let him go only to destroy the morale of his fellow soldiers. by letting him go is like saying your leader doesn't care about you.

you would probably have left them there if you were in his shoes. no logical intelligence coming from you. you have low iq or something?

Answer 26

You must not be watching his latest ads on TV.  Plus his supporters are proving just how intolerant liberals are with their half informed opinions.

Answer 27

I agree, I think Palin's support for "Abstinence Only s*x Ed" and her pregnant, unmarried daughter do make a legitimate political target but he has shown a lot more restraint than the "Swift-Boating Republicans" would have if the shoe were on the other foot.

Answer 28

Because they know he's right  by what he does. They're afraid of him because of his skin color and his name.
