No.

1. He is not a risk-taker

2. He cannot be a risk-taker. He would have to pass legislation through the House and the Senate.

Therefore, there will no risks taken.

Let alone "change."

What, specifically, do you mean by the term, "risk?"

555555555 Stern's the only guy in America with the guts to interview blacks and actually show that they can be stupid, too. You think Leno would do that? Never once saw his jokey "how stupid are Americans" street interviews include a black or Hispanic. That would be racist. Howard showed the other side.

This is even worse than the usual tripe you come up with. So, now you believe what a real 'leftie' says because it confirms the racial stereotype you have engraved in your brain?

Stern obviously was selective in his vid, just like Lenno and others are with their attempts to find the lowest common denominator.

The campaign going so badly that you are switching sides? Heaven forbid.

How about this:

Obama wins key backing from Powell

55 minutes ago
Barack Obama snatched the crucial backing of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, as the retired Army general crossed party lines and undermined Republican John McCain's claim that his opponent is not ready to command the US military.
Mr Obama's campaign also announced it had raised a staggering £87 million last month, a figure aided by thousands of new donors pledging relatively small amounts.
Mr McCain, meanwhile, stumped in battleground Ohio, pushing himself as an advocate of working class Americans and small business owners, and asserting that the Illinois senator's tax plan amounted to European-style socialism.


Mr Powell, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, called Mr McCain's claims "an unfortunate characterisation that isn't accurate" and part of an overly negative campaign by "my beloved friend and colleague John McCain, a friend of 25 years".
"I think we need a transformational figure. I think we need a president who is a generational change and that's why I'm supporting Barack Obama, not out of any lack of respect or admiration for Senator John McCain," Mr Powell said on NBC television.
The Gallup Poll daily tracking survey showed on Sunday that Mr Obama was leading McCain nationally by 10 points, 52-42, an upturn after declining to as little as six points last week.
Mr Powell's endorsement could carry significant weight with independent and undecided voters in the final two weeks before the November 4 vote.


In addition to criticising what he said was an overly negative McCain campaign, Mr Powell said the 72-year-old senate veteran's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, was not ready. "I don't believe she's ready to be president of the US, which is the job of the vice president," Mr Powell said.


Mr McCain was being interviewed on Fox News as Powell endorsed Mr Obama. He reacted by reminding viewers he had the backing of four former secretaries of state and scores of current and former military leaders. "We have a respectful disagreement," he said of Mr Powell.
In an interview with New York's WWOR-TV, Ms Palin responded to Mr Powell's criticism, saying: "I beg to differ with him. Not only will my executive experience be put to very good use ... but also, you know the vision that I share with John McCain." (What a loser! )

And do you think an opened minded guy like Stern would be voting for some tight ass loser like McCain?

Hot on the heels of Obama being endorsed by Colin Powell...




...McCain receives an endorsement from Al-Qaeda

Al Qaeda-linked website backs McCain as president

5:05PM Wednesday Oct 22, 2008


WASHINGTON - Al-Qaeda supporters suggested in a website message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the US as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.

The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah website, said if Al-Qaeda wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said. "Then, Al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."

SITE Intelligence Group, based in Bethesda, Maryland, monitors the website and translated the message.

"If Al-Qaeda carries out a big operation against American interests," the message said, "this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it."

Mark Salter, a senior McCain adviser, said he had heard about the website chatter but had no immediate comment.

The message is credited to a frequent and apparently respected contributor named Muhammad Haafid. However, Haafid is not believed to have a direct affiliation with Al-Qaeda plans or knowledge of its operations, according to SITE.
SITE senior analyst Adam Raisman said this message caught SITE's attention because there has been little other chatter on the forums about the US election.
SITE was struck by the message's detailed analysis - and apparent jubilation - about American financial woes.

"What we try to do is get the pulse of the jihadist community," Raisman said. "And it's about the financial crisis."

Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden issued a videotape just four days before the 2004 US presidential election directly addressing the American people.

Secret Service says "Kill him" allegation unfounded

By Andrew M. Seder aseder[at]timesleader.com
Staff Writer

SCRANTON – The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.

The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Obama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him."


News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story.
Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.


“I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Tribune.
He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton.
Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say he heard someone yell “kill him.”


“We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” Slavoski said. “We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.”
Hackett said he did not hear the remark.


Slavoski said Singleton was interviewed Wednesday and stood by his story but couldn’t give a description of the man because he didn’t see him he only heard him.
When contacted Wednesday afternoon, Singleton referred questions to Times-Tribune Metro Editor Jeff Sonderman. Sonderman said, “We stand by the story. The facts reported are true and that’s really all there is.”


Slavoski said the agents take such threats or comments seriously and immediately opened an investigation but after due diligence “as far as we’re concerned it’s closed unless someone comes forward.” He urged anyone with knowledge of the alleged incident to call him at 346-5781. “We’ll run at all leads,” he said.

Things just float past you, don't they . . . I kind of envy you, in the way one envies those special needs kids for the attention they get . . .

Yup, I lost some money . . . trying to help people, not a big deal . . . you have never lost money on anything? Legend, skank . . . no wonder you retired to your bedsit at 39.

Anything to add to the topic? At least I joust, add to the topic, joust, add to th topic . . . try it.

I love the misleading headline . . . kind of like Jet telling a prospective lay that she's a woman . . .

Desperate for news . . .

Plus the sure-to-come Falklands-like surprise popping out of nowhere.

The real danger is not realizing these threats are self generated. It is like blaming others for the drug problem in the US. Is it the Colombians fault cocaine grown in their country is illegal in America. If you take this side then the Islams have the right to snuff out the social trash grown in America.

Can't have it both ways (anymore)

^ Way off the mark, there. Another "America deserved 9-11" slur. And your new av is offensive.
