Question

Is Barack Hussein Obama afraid that a younger more experienced and exciting person has stole his thunder?

Answer 1

I hope he is scared... she is so much more qualified than him on every aspect. Kinda embarassing for him, dontcha think?

My mother said "Never say never, you will eat your words." I used to think a woman should never be in such a high position of power. I totally ate my words over the past week of reading up on this woman. She actually CAN do it. I guess I was just waiting for the right woman.  

Answer 2

No, he isn't scared. Not one of the Republican candidates mentioned how they were going to pay for the "programs" that they talked about (barely). They spent all their time bashing Obama. "Obama, this." "Obama that." If you had picked Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee maybe the Republicans wouldn't have been lagging in the polls. Instead you went for experience...experience that brings no common sense. You know why I say this? Look at Guiliani. He poked fun at Obama's accomplishments while Obama praised McCain and only disagreed with his policies. I watched the convention and I thought he was extremely childish. As for Palin, she's a good speaker but she can't stand up to Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and others. She didn't talk about the economy, job creation, gas prices, how exactly will we win in Iraq. They mocked his community organizer skills--a skill that led him to fight for the people's jobs, housing, etc. What are they going to do for us? A Republican was president for eight years and where are we? I'll tell you. We're in a war that has us between a rock and a hard place, jobs are being sent overseas to India, China and other places, the economy is in tatters, banks are running this country along with the insurance companies and the oil companies. And what are they doing? Making fun of Obama's resume. He went to Harvard and Columbia, he transformed his community by turning down big law jobs and going to the grass roots to transform his community (and the churches don't like this? he went to the pastors!), he was a teacher, he was a civil rights lawyer, president of the Harvard Law Review, he helped create legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds, he was a founding member of the board of directors of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife, Michelle, became the founding executive director of Public Allies Chicago in early 1993, he worked in the Senate to pass laws, he served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995–2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995–1999. I can go on, but I'll stop now. McCain flew a plane in a war...though it was admirable, it has nothing to do with whether he can lead with compassion. I haven't even touched his Senate service yet and there is a lot to talk about. Anyone can be a boss, but it takes a different kind of strength to be a leader. Obama has shown himself to be a leader outside of his positions. McCain followed orders and "fought for his country" (a lie since the war in Vietnam and Iraq aren't "for" us, they are fueled by the irrational fears of our government--communism then and terrorism now both covers for the oil and other resources we can drain from those countries). He wasn't a leader, he was a follower. A leader makes tough decisions and tells the people what they need to hear not what they want to hear. Obama told them that he will close the loopholes the insurance companies use to ship jobs overseas and will tax them (not the little jobs that Sarah Palin mentioned), he promised to cut taxes for 95% of all working families while raising it on the rich (who aren't complaining, the middle class are complaining!). I can go on but I think this is enough. Obama has nothing to worry about. He has led and accomplished many things by desiring to help people. That's what government service is all about and why I think he's a much better selection than McCain.  

Answer 3

Michael Scheur, former HEAD OF THE CIA'S OSAMA BIN LADEN UNIT:

“I think both of them (McCain and Obama) are equally unable to cope with the threat represented by Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda, and the Islamists. They really don’t have a clue about what this war is about. Mr. McCain is very confident, but he’s clueless. Mr. Obama is equally clueless. They continue to tell Americans these people are Islamo-fascists, and they hate us because of our freedoms and they hate us for our liberties.

What they hate us for is the unusually virulent strain of obsessive compulsive disorder that’s present in the American governing class, and that’s called interventionism. That’s what the cause of this war is. And neither Mr. McCain, nor Mr. Obama, nor Mrs. Clinton, nor any of the rest of them who are in the campaign—except Mr. Paul, Mr. Kucinich perhaps—had that idea.”

Answer 4

Obama still has that "fire".. when he speaks...people want to listen..Sarah Palin will crack under pressure if she ever had to lead this country! OBAMA 08!

Answer 5

I would love to ask him that and watch his reaction.

I do think he is. She did a phenomenal job tonight and hit it outta the park! I am very excited for tomorrow and the comming debates. This year has been very exciting and i cannot wait for obama to eat his words. Sarah palin has more experience than his whole ticket and the McCain ticket is sure to win!

Im sure jobama is pissed she was so amazing. :]

Answer 6

Im surprised these two things are not being used more in the news about Obama and McCain

Answer 7

Who? The Mrs "Gun Toting" Falbo from "Tiny Town" with the Union member husband, Down Syndrome kid and according to Mitt Romney her Liberal impregnated daughter?

I don't think so. If he's like the rest of us he heard the same rehashed c**p with new faces. No worry.

Answer 8

I seriously doubt it but I have no idea and neitgher does anybody here.   Why don't you email him and find out?

Answer 9

It is about time that he got a kick in the butt. I broke up when I heard how Palin and Giuliani made mince meat of him. Palin would make a far better president than Hussein O.

Answer 10

Obama has more experience than her! get your facts straight. = ) She sucked tonight and they wont win!

Answer 11

*HOPE* so

Answer 12

Now that is funny

1. She is barely younger - 3 years is hardly something to worry about.

2. More experienced - this is her first real job (mayor of a small town - get real - you would be better off not quoting that as experience given how much debt she left them)

3. She is exciting - convicted criminal, teenage s*x scandals and of course her penchant for extremist politics (Alaskan independence, teaching the bible as science, and of course a real love of pork)

But stealing his thunder??? Since the day she was announced the lead Obama had in the polls, that had been slipping, has bounced back as big as ever.

Obama is hardly afraid - palin is the best thing that has happened to his campaign.

Answer 13

He could probably care less.

Answer 14

obama is the worst! everyone who agrees with me should go vote him down on this page.. you'll get a free gift card if you do!

Answer 15

Probably not as much as you imagine he is.  Your assessment that she's more exiting/experienced is subjective.  McCain's appeal with independents and some Democrats was that he was more of a moderate.  He's lost that mantle now, showing his ticket to be as far to the right as Bush/Cheney.  Furthermore, Sarah "Successionist" Palin didn't really do anything to clarify her positions and solutions; the only thing she really did was to solidify her base and to prove that she too is capable of being a Rovian attack dog.  I strongly suspect that most people on the fence are looking for more than attacks; we need substantive answers and insights into a candidate's temperament, policies and decision-making processes.  And there are enough real concerns about Sarah's dealings in Alaska to keep people distracted through November.  Some of the things she's claiming about her record are being disputed, not just by the mainstream media, but by the players in Alaska as well.  I'm certain more and more will be coming out to make people question her candidacy over the next eight weeks.

Answer 16

I don't think he has anything to worry about if the truth about Palin comes out.  She tried banning books, fired a police cheif for trying to close bars before 5 am and protect citizens from drunk driving accidents.  And oh yeah - talk about double standards, she is for the death penalty but does not support abortion except when the mother's life is at stake.  Is life sacred to her or not?  

Answer 17

At least you admit he has "thunder".  But no Palin has not stolen it.

Obama is so different from Palin that their speeches are hard to compare except to say that Obama's was more "uplifting" and Palin's was more "antagonistic".  

Answer 18

Yes, bo doubt that Palin stole Obama's thunder. She is now the new media sensation and the new hero of the Republican party.

Answer 19

First, it's stolen, not stole.

The correct question is: Is McCain afraid that a younger, more experienced and exciting person has stolen his thunder? By McCain's own admission, he has never had an executive post either (the very thing they like to accuse Obama of). It has to work both ways: McCain is a senator, one with three decades worth of legislative experience, but ZERO executive experience. Since you like those words, Palin should be the nominee for President, not McCain.

Why do the Republicans make it so easy? I don't even have to put in any effort, they just like tying the rope on their necks so much!

Answer 20

That speech that touched on zero issues, and was full of personal attacks and hypocrisy was sure scary.  Barack HUSSEIN Obama is crapping himself as we speak.

Answer 21

Yea right. I'm sure she has him all shook up...lol

Answer 22

Aint nobody scared of that dumb *****

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Answer 23

he has millions and millions of supporters.

i doubt hes afraid. 20 people on yahoo! answers who dont like him arent going to make any differance to him winning

Answer 24

You wish! keep dreaming!!

Answer 25

she is exciting: when I found out she was being investigated for a possible impeachment of her office-- I got excited. when I found out she belonged to an Anti American party, I got excited. when I learned she has the morals of an ally cat, just like John, and it is reported she had an affair, and committed adultery just like John McCain I got excited, and when I understood that the American people would learn all about this soon and defeat her in the election, I really got excited, Thanks.  

Answer 26

Keep dreaming, and you seem more discombobulated than anything else.

Answer 27

he's not sleeping tonight.

Answer 28

nobody's worrying about her. she hasn't got anything on obama

Answer 29

McCain isn't younger

She isn't

She didn't

The only thing that has changed is the round of laughter and high fives going on the Dem's side.
