Probably because he's running for president, no?

If you were running for President ---
Okay, I have an idea. If you were able to run for President or even be the top adviser for the next President, what would your plans be for getting us out of this economic crisis? Everyone seems to hate Obama's plans, and nobody really knows McCain's plans, so help us out here - what would you do?
He already has. Hello? He is running for president. All sm
candidates are cleared way before the actual election. They would not take the chance of having someone elected president and then find out he fails to pass an FBI check.
If they are running for our president, we SHOULD know this...

Obama is running for president of what

Bush is not running for president...nice try.
As far as JOhn McCain's birthday...is there some law or moral wrong to eating cake on your birthday? Where was Obama when katrina hit? What was he eating?
First, Ray Nagin refused to make evacuation mandatory until a full 24 hours after he was asked to do so. He is the first line of defense for his city. He dropped the ball. I don't see you ragging him here. Second, the President expected FEMA to do its job. Just like Barack Obama would have done.
However...this is a nonissue. George Bush is not running.
Again...John McCain's birthday, and yes, he was eating cake. I want to know where Obama was, and what he was eating.
Who is running for President - McCain or Palin?
Since Palin has come on the scene, she has been out front at every campaign stop. It seems as if she is running for President while McCain remains in the background and just applauds her. I don't think I've seen him open a campaign speech since her appointment. I wonder if this was intentional. Did they need to get him out of the spotlight or did she just take over?
I don't mention them because they aren't running for president. s/m
care to comment on this:

Ayers is not running for president. He is not O's advisor.
O's sponsor. Dr. Ayers is entitled to vote for whomever he likes. He can donate to the campaign of his choice. They served on the board of a community organization which addressed poverty relief and social mobility. I find that to be a noble cause and certainly do not hold it against either of them. The Ayers smear campaign is beyond absurd. I agree with Stardust. Time to move on.
The point remains...she might as well be running for president...McCain is...sm
a heartbeat away from the inevitable not just because he is old enough to be Palin's granddaddy but because of his medical history so with all that said...Palin is practically running for #1 and that's just the honest to God SCARY truth of the matter.
You're not running for president and refusing to wear it nm

If I was running for president, I sure wouldn't associate with terrorists, no ma'am. sm
I would not knowingly associate with a criminal of any sort, but you can best believe I would not be hanging out with a known terrorist, even if he lived next door.
HAHAHA! Good thing that YOU are not running

That's all fine and good but you're not running

I'm not saying Clinton was a good president ...
but you are wrong, he was not impeached.
But I know how you feel, I feel the same way every time I see the current Pres. Bush, and am starting to feel that way about McCain. There is just something about that man that doesn't sit right with me. And if I was a Republican I wouldn't necessarily change my party, but I would not necessarily be voting with it either.
That Bill WAS our president at one point and a good one at that....sm
DUH!
lol
Yep, McCain has potential to be a good president too....sm
Like Rush says, though, we may have to drag him kicking and screaming over the finish line.....LOLOL.............
Name me one good thing Bill Clinton did as President
I voted for Clinton when he first ran agains Bush Sr. After six months of him as president and what I saw happening to the country I re-registered as republican. Every time that man or his wife had their face on the TV I muted it. I cannot tell you why, but hearing his voice or seeing his face literally made me nausous. (I should have invested in Pepto Bismol stock and would have made a fortune because of all the Pepto I went through). I still believe for 8 years we had no president. Just someone sitting in the office, but we didn't have a real leader.
Now I keep hearing how everyone praises Bill Clinton and what a great president he was (even though he was impeached). So I would like to hear from people and name one thing that was good that he did so I could possibly have a different opinion of him. The really odd thing is everytime his face is in the news I get that sick nauseous feeling again and still have to mute him and look away.
The hair just stands up on my neck and I really feel like I am looking at what evil is (and I'm not religious, but he just gives me a creepy feeling), so please tell me something good about him.
now there's a good reason to want him as president. he can play basketball

If customary deference to a sitting president by president elect
for the rest of us who understand such concepts as respect and traditional protocol, it would qualify as a darned good reason.
That is not what HE says he is running as, it is what...sm
everyone else says he is running as.
Yes we do have the right. If you are running for ...sm
the hightest office in the land, we have the right to logically judge whether that person could reasonably be expected to complete his term. If someone has a serious disease that could affect his/her capability of doing so, we have the right to know that before we cast our vote. This goes for both candidates. Transparency, isn't that what both candidates say they are for?
Is he actually running?
Oh? Is someone new in the running?...nm

We just keep running to and fro don't we?
Whatever we hear, read or see on TV MUST be fact.
VOTING A WRITE-IN VOTE FOR LOU DOBBS!!!
You obviously know nothing about running a

Running it
Downhill................
I seems that YOU are running out
of valid points as you start to take refuge in bashing?!
I am not going to engage in tit-for-tat fights with posters, ESPECIALLY NOT on the Politics Board.
Your aren't running for VP and won't be
McCain camp made such as issue about Obama's lack of foreign travel, boasting about how many times he had been overseas to visit the troops, and claiming that made him a more viable foreign policy candidate. He openly challenged Obama to make his trip overseas, gleefully hoping that Obama would end up looking like a rookie. Obama responded in kind, met with world leaders, garnered open support from Iraq's president and turned out 250,000 Berliners for his speech. Not too shabby for a rookie. So, if there was so much flap over Obama's not having been overseas and how that made him inexperienced, what does it say about his VP pick, who applied for a passport last year? McCain can't have it both ways. This issue is being raised to point out McCain double standards.
Running From Reality
If there was one pre-eminent characteristic of the Republican convention this week, it was the quality of deception. Words completely lost their meaning. Reality was turned upside down.
From the faux populist gibberish mouthed by speaker after speaker, you would never have known that the Republicans have been in power over the past several years and used that titanic power to lead the country to its present sorry state.

mccain is running
quit trying to deflect the issue. McCain a poon dog.
I certainly don't want her running our country.
She scares me.
And I certainly don't want Obama running it
After what I heard at the debate, and his viewpoints on the bailout. Don't trust him.
of course he would say that stuff - he was running against him! nm

Yes....she is his running mate.
His VP.....she is NOT running for president. Barrack Obama is. And even saying that.....at least she has run a state and had to make executive decisions. She has been successful in her job as governor and has a high approval rating. What does Obama have other than the unique ability to flip flop on everything he has ever said and voted for.
I am running scared
Of course you are right, Obama is closet Muslim. He was been faking practicing Christianity for 20+ years, even going so far as to have his daughters baptised just to fool us. Wow, why didn't I realize it until just now.
Oh, and the Muslims really hate the Jews. I better go find an attack to live in when Obama is elected.
Thanks so much for your help in getting me to see things so much more clearly now.
I would prefer her as HIS running mate, but...
I would be fairly happy with either! I have mixed feelings about Hillary, but like I've said, I'm sure she would do a fine job. I just happen to reeeeally prefer Obama.
Running scared? Ahhhh, don't think so
when McCain loses. The only way he will win is if they cheat - which we all know is possible - just ask Gore.
Romney is not running, Biden is...
and he was talking about the guy he is running with. Nice attempt at dodging.
As for Kilkenny...she is a Dem with a bone to pick, i.e., "She has hated me since 1992." lol. On Wiki all she said was "there was some talk about banning books but she never followed through with it."
So which is the lie and which is the truth?
Thought of that, but Obama is running for the top
nm
George Bush isn't running....
and there is a democratic congress who has not done squat since we elected them 2 years ago. Are you going to vote a straight Republican congressional ticket or are you by your own description intellectually challenged?
It is a valid question.
You would think Sarah Palin is running for the top
nm
clinton not running McCain is
nm
Obama should not be in the running for the highest
nm
Go Ron Paul....now running on an independent
xx
Who cares - she is not running. Even Obama said
Out. For some reason you seem to think Gov. Palin would have been able to stop her daughter. If you want a baby bad enough your going to find a way (place) to get pregnant. Her daughter didn't consult with the parents. This is not Gov. Palins fault and even then it's not a "fault". Her daughter wanted to have a baby and so she got pregnant. End of deal! Leave the spouses and kids out of the hatred you hold for the candidates.
That's all you got? Glad you're not running

It's funnier that his own running mate

uhh... Joe the Plumber is not running for VP, leave

In 3 day after running the most brilliant campaign
What part of we are in a bunch of crisEs do you not get? I for one am EXTREMELY gratified that he is the man of action we need him to be. He was elected. The electoral college members will enthusiastically cast 365 votes for him in December. On all airways and in all media outlets, he is referred to as the President Elect. He will be sworn into office in January. Get over it. You make yourself sound even more petty than Malkin. Why get so hung up over a trite technicality? Why not use your time more constructively, like trying to figure out what to do about the GOP leadership crisis/vacuum and their need for a platform transplant?
