Renters Love Obama
Turns out that Obama escape clause in condo contracts might not be necessary, since the percentage of renters is going up (to 32.2 percent from 30.9 percent according to an Apartments.com survey).

Turns out that Obama escape clause in condo contracts might not be necessary, since the percentage of renters is going up (to 32.2 percent from 30.9 percent according to an Apartments.com survey). And renters, it seems, are planning to make Obama their president. “One week away from casting their ballots, renters surveyed revealed that nearly 60 percent are backing Barack Obama for president and the top issue on their minds is the national economy,” reads a press release that landed in our inbox. “John McCain received 23 percent of renters’ votes followed by 9 percent who preferred not to answer the question and 6 percent who are undecided.”

IronBalls, why don’t you try now to justify your statement in light of the evidence of McCain’s consistently voting with Bush over the past few years?
To remind you what you said, “First of all, McCain is one of the most independent senators in congress. He clearly has a record of bucking his party despite your parroting of his campaign slogans to the uneducated masses.”
Factcheck proves that both candidates twist words to gain support.
Come on Biff, Obama and McCain are equally guilty of stretching the truth.
Unfortunately, Obama has been far more successful at it.
IronBalls, I’m not parroting the campaign slogans, I’m repeating the facts. How much proof do you want? I’ll start with this.

90 seconds in the microwave on unthaw should do the trick.
Biff,
First of all, McCain is one of the most independent senators in congress. He clearly has a record of bucking his party despite your parroting of his campaign slogans to the uneducated masses.
I’m not happy about the war in Iraq either, but McCain is no more at fault for the war than any other Democrat or Republican in congress . . . almost every one of whom voted to authorize the war. McCain was not a member of the Bush administration despite the endless bullshit repeated over and over by Obama.
McCain never has gotten along with Bush, has disagreed with him on many issues, and every educated non-brainwashed citizen knows it. If anything, as I’m sure you know, McCain should be given credit by members of both parties for pushing the surge strategy late last year that has helped a lot.
Regarding Palin, in my opinion, though I disagree with all the right wing religious crap, she’s just as qualified as Obama to be president. Executive experience is far more applicable to the presidency that voting up or down on a bill and then going home.
Yeah, we don’t need an “idiot” like Obama. We need someone who has the brain power of our current leader. His quotes are like Maxwell House coffee – good to the last drop:
“This thaw — took a while to thaw, it’s going to take a while to unthaw.”
–George W. Bush, on liquidity in the markets, Alexandria, La., Oct. 20, 2008
Cobbler,
Of course I read the Economist. Do I believe everything I read? Of course not.
If I did, I’d be a zombie Obamabot like the rest of you.
“He’s so handsome and articulate Did you see how much the Germans loved him!”
What a load of crap. Why not just give the land back to the indians and commit suicide?
IronBalls, even if we for a moment ignore “The mortgage backed security/banking fiasco that has crushed our economy”, there are many other things the Bush administration has directly done over the past 8 years to financially and morally bankrupt this nation. Do you really think voting for McCain, who voted with Bush 100% of the time in 2008 and 95% of the time in 2007 is less nuts? Are you ready for Sarah to step in if she has to?
Biff,
The mortgage backed security/banking fiasco that has crushed our economy has nothing to do with Bush and everything to do with bad policies created years before he took office.
Sure Bush went along for the ride, but so did almost every Democrat and Republican in congress.
As an aside, I’m sure you’re aware Obama bought his “dream house” in Chicago after he hit the jackpot with his second book. His excuse for purchasing the lot next next door for hundreds of thousands below market value from Rezko’s wife was that “he was a first time home buyer and didn’t completely understand the proper buying process.”
Go to Youtube and you can find the interview where he gives that excuse.
Electing an idiot who didn’t “understand the home buying process” just a few years ago to be “the one” to steer our country out of its current predicament is completely nuts.
Everyone will realize the emperor has no clothes eventually, but unfortunately not soon enough to keep him from the Oval Office.
