What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?

Within days of being appointed, Pailin was falsly accused by Obama supports of 'babygate' where they falsely suggested her baby was some one else's.



Now that there has been a democratic break in of her email and posting on the internet by Obama supporters. What reposnibility should Obama hold for the eMailGate conspiracy? Is his campaign out of control? Is this Daly machine politics on steroids?What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
Obama has incited anti-American fervor ever since he become the DNC candidate for POTUS.



Does anyone doubt that he and his staff welcomed such illiegal behavior against the Governor of Alaska?



NOBAMA!
I don't know if he welcomed it, it was the son of a democrat congressman

What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
None, nobody who Obama has any control over is accused in anyway of being related to hacking into Palin's email. Hell, we don't even know if the people who did this are Obama supporters, they could be Ron Paul supporters for all we know, or not even vote. Most hackers do hacks for the notoriety, not for particular political reasons.



I don't hold McCain responsible for the rash of vandalism of Obama headquarters throughout the country, why should Obama be held responsible for some kids hacking into a yahoo email account?
Why assume is a leftist, its most likely the GOP behind it. This would not have been carried out by just any republican, it would have had to have been arranged by the campaign, maybe a rogue aspect of the campaign.



It brings lots of advantages:

1) Diverts attention away from the economy (as much as it can anyway with all the news were getting)

2) Makes libs look bad and allows right wing talk show nuts to blame the Obama compaign

3) Makes it look as though Palin did not have anything to hide in these emails

4) Gives her a chance to delete the email accounts in question so they can't be requested / subpoenaed



All in all, a win for the GOP, so it only seems logical they are behind it.What responsibility should Obama have for the democratic break in of Palin's eMail?
First of all, most hackers are just brats and I would be willing to bet they are not registered to either political party.



Secondly, why no outcry when the Bush administration was found to be reading American citizens' e-mail without a warrant? This was called "patriotic".



Maybe Bush can give the hackers retroactive immunity for their illegal activity, like the telecommunications companies were given.
Mich: "Anti-American fervor"??????



Have you ever been out of the country? Did you get your passport *more* recently than Sarah-P??



You want anti-American fervor ; spin the globe, randomly pick a spot, go there, say "Bush", then say "I'm voting for McCain"



see you when (if) you make it back..
None, because he has to do anything he can to get ahead. Obama is doing really bad in the polls.
Responsible to share those emails to the public!! See what she is really hiding from everyone.
Ghost of Tom Joad is right
Why should he take any blame?
The people who started Babygate were the people of her town %26amp; her family who told that she never looked pregnant %26amp; didn't even tell her closest family members. The 16 year old daughter was out of school for many months before, around %26amp; after the birth of the child. Don't blame the dems for this.....She has many enemies just like McCain does. Many republicans refused to go to the convention %26amp; this was months before his convention. So they acted like the place was so emply because of a storm far away. Really he is hated by many people he has fought with. Dems are the nice people that helped him by working with him on things. Why can't republicans see to get the basic understanding that dems really live the "love thy neighbor as thyself" %26amp; meanwhile one of them told him he was a Maverick for working on both sides. So anything positive that he can say about himself he says all the time, friends, maverick, war hero. It doesn't matter than none of it is true....It is amazing that you are blaming the dems. who are the ones that do what it takes to save people like you from you own ignorance...the republcan in the white house has accomplished his goal of letting this corrupt rich people take the money from 95% of the American so they can be filthy rich. You still are blaming the poor %26amp; the dems for everything. In a way I hope McCain does win so Obama won't be blamed for this mess. So people like you will know what it is like to lose you job or business %26amp; can see we are all connected. Then your will lose your health care %26amp; the stress will land you in the hospital with bills that will make you depend on things dems have designed so people like you can survive but the reps. have damaged the gov. so bad it will all be gone. So go watch the Grapes of Wrath movie it is old but it will prepare you for what is next. If McCain wins there is no hope except for the richest 5%. Not all of them are greedy of course some are so generous but people like you hate Oprah %26amp; Bill Gates %26amp; anyone who cares about others but with McCain maybe it will help you wake up but then again if you haven't yet then maybe rock bottom for you is never going to happen.

Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?

Why do they want to setup another latin dictatorship in Honduras and destroy the democratically elected government there?

Now Obama is talking about sanctions against Honduras because it is proceeding by democracy and the rule of law, because Obama want to install a socialist dictator there?

Why doesn't America open its eyes to this lunacy of Obama?Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
George W wanted to spread democracy around the globe

Obama wants to differentiate himself from George W

Therefore he has embarked on a program of destroying democracy around the globe

Then he will say how he has undone all the bad things Bush did
What an awesome observation, you're so right, I agree with you.Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
He isn't. No one who pays attention will buy your nonsense claims.
Please learn all of the facts of this story before asking another question on this subject.Why is the Obama administration such a good friend to the leftist dictators of Latin America?
I know how you feel. Just look at this for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBV48awSi…
Because he himself is a Marxist.
Obama is jealous of their power.
Because his supporters will prop him up no matter what, and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the negative.



I keep saying, this guy could propose a plan to amputate the legs of all teenage girls born in states that end in a vowel, and half the country would think it's the greatest idea since television... and our withholding taxes would go to pay for the surgeries!
You mean like Ronald Reagan supplying Iran with weapons through Ollie North during the Iran-Contra scandal?
Dunno why there are so many blind Americans. The truth is very ugly some folks just cannot accept it.
I agree. This is NOT the American way - his warped version of a country exists over in Russia or Venezuela - not here in America. Since Obama has become president there is a feeling that American capitalism is gone. That the dollar is no good anymore. That making a lot of money is no good anymore - that you will be heavily taxed on this “extra” money. That YOU should pay the mortgage of those who can’t afford theirs. That you should pay the health care for those who can’t afford it. This is the pathetic “community organizer” attitude that Obama is INFESTING the White House with. This is the same type of thinking and policy that will drive this country into bankruptcy and EXACTLY what Obama wants us to be - a run of the mill “nanny state” country - that HE controls. o_O
This is all irrelevant. None of it involves bettering our lord Alan Colmes' life.



Colmes bless.

What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?

Obama! Obama! Obama fever seems to be everywhere. You can't watch any news show without hearing his name mentioned at least a dozen times. It is like he was the second coming.



But what has he done?



Oh, that is right. He gave the keynote speech for the 2004 nomination of John Kerry. Wow. Fat lot of good that did. Kerry got whupped.



Yes, Obama won a senate race in 2004. But he owes that win to the republicans. In the middle of the race, they dropped one loser candidate for another. It is not like Obama had a serious fight to win that election.



Oh, yeah. Obama NOW opposes the war. Well! How politically correct he is!



So what does Obama stand for? Well that is besides going to a beach in a swimsuit and getting his "pretty boy" face in the news.What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
He has met the only requirements to run for office: born in the USA and over age 35.



I agree with your analysis. People are interested because he does not have any "baggage." He does not have a history of voting and has not developed any legislation on his own.



I do not consider him to be a viable candidate. He is a liberal. Liberals who run on their views do not get elected. Example: Walter Mondale.
is your problem cause he is blackWhat has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
He is a black muslim with no personality I have seen, and has the most liberal voting record in the senate. He is just to the left of Carl Marx. The Democrats are really tetched in the haid to consider such a man for president.
And I thought it was every Americans duty, and right to support their Country.

I guess you don't think he has a right or duty?

What, in YOUR opinion should qualify a candidate?What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?
America, especially black America, is looking for another Martin Luther King Jr. The current black leadership does not have the history to fit the bill. Jesse Jackson had marital problems. Dr. Farrakhan has said too many negative things about white America, and the Jews to be electable. Charles Rangel is way too partisan and is all about pork for his district.

Bottom line, a black leader needs both to have a clean past, be electable, and have a national stage, Barack Obama has all three. At least, until something changes.
Nothing!

If that is the best they have to offer, the Democrates are in deep doo-doo.
Not much in my opinion. I think he is more of a poster boy for his party. He tends to waffle on many issues. He opposes the war but supports defense spending. I think he is just out there to muddy the waters.
well, he is supported by all muslims in america, and how most americans dont vote, muslims and terrorist s.o.b.'s alike, voted for him
Sounds like you haven't done any research on the candidates and that is why this country gets into trouble. You could start by going to your local library and reading one of his two books, or both, that will tell you how he was raised and something about his values as a person.



Also, you could check out facts such as voting records, PAC contributions, associations he belongs to, and what he does in his spare time.



If this is all too much for you, then you shouldn't vote, because you are uninformed.

Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?

Can someone tell me the big difference between what Obama and the rest of the democratic party advocates for? I have yet to find any so far with the exception of centrist Bill Clintion and his wife (Yuck! I can't believe I just said that). Can someone tell me how Obama's policies are different than the rest of the democrats?Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
Have you ever noticed that when liberals are losing an argument, they will often resort to calling their opponent "fascist" or "nazi?"



Same goes for conservatives - whenever they start losing, they鈥檒l fall back on the old standby of calling their opponent "socialist" or "communist."



McCain is truly getting desperate. The fact is, he used to support the EXACT same type of tax plan that he is NOW calling socialism. Check out the video:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kYsF1Mer鈥?/a>



And by the way 鈥?what about Palin taking the windfall profits TAX from the oil companies and cutting a check to every Alaskan with it? If that's not "SPREADING THE WEALTH," I don't know what is.



The McCain campaign is going down swinging, but make no mistake - they are going down.


He actually belongs to the Democratic Socialist of America party, DSA. He also was a member of the New Party, a branch of the DSA.

He was listed as a member of the Democratic Socialist of America party when he ran for Illinois State Senator in 1996.



The regular Democratic party looks at the DSA as much more liberal and some even say it is radical. But this year unfortunately some of them do support the DSA candidate Obama. Some do not support him.



If you look at the Hillary Forum they are stronger for McCain. So many will vote for him. Obama is just too liberal for them.



See the Hillary Forum thread link below to see how they do not like him.



(to Curious: luv the videos, thx)



See the video of interview with William Ayers below.Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service,

he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers,

a known terrorist.



If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard! how in the hell is he even qualified to be a candidate for the presidency.

but, americans are DEFINETELY dumb enough to vote for this guy



to answer your question though, the whole democratic party.
Why don't you start by defining socialism. Because if you do i think you will find that there are no politicians in America, including Obama, that come even close.



Just because Socialism and Communism are big bogeyman words doesn't mean they don't actually have meanings. I can call a cat a dog but that doesn't make it one.Is Obama a socialist or is just the entire democratic party?
The entire democratic party. I know that the NRA is particularly nervous about Obama as president. He wants a 500% tax increase. So a box of rifle ammo will be $500.00 and a new hunting rifle will cost you $5,000.00. Obama is change we cannot afford.See for yourself.

We (America) are becoming more and more socialist. Obama just wants to put the plan in high gear. Take away more rights, take away more tax money away from you and me, and give it to ACORN, Bill Aires, Rev. Wright,ect, ect ,ect.
If Obama is a socialist to you, then McCain must be one too. McCain claims Obama wants to give checks to the 40% that don't pay income tax when McCain's health plan will give that same 40% $5,000.
Most democrats are also socialist except for a few conservative democrats that have been shut out by the democrat party elites.
The whole democratic party.
to some degree, America has always been a socialist country.


neither.

Why are people blaming Obama for the financial crisis when he inherited it through past presidents?

I mean, stop blaming Obama, we were in debt before he even ran for president. He inherited the problems of the country and people are still blaming him. He's proposed a freeze in government spending to help us save money, the job rates have been up since he was in office he's called for democrats, AND republicans to help with health care. He's doing his best guys being president isn't exactly easiest job in the world and results don't happen overnight.Why are people blaming Obama for the financial crisis when he inherited it through past presidents?
And he added nothing to the debt? Pllllease.
He can blame Bush for the economy and then Bush can blame Clinton, its an endless cycle.



First off, Obama has not cut spending. And job rates are not up at all. So I don't know where you got those ideas, because they sure are not facts.



Obama has spent more money than any President in history with his $787 billion dollar stimulus that he said wouldn't allow unemployment to go above 8%. That didn't happen. Then he said the bill had no ear marks, it had 9,000. That is not cutting spending, and that is not creating jobs.



So when you want to say that he is saving money and creating jobs, you better have some facts to back that up.Why are people blaming Obama for the financial crisis when he inherited it through past presidents?
A freeze will not help our situation. He has governed over so much increased spending that it will take massive cuts to get it under control.



It is not just obama that should be blamed. Everyone who has been in government over the last 50 years has to shoulder some of the blame.



His vision is very dangerous to our country however. I am a little dissapointed in the pace that the newly elected Republicans are moving. Something about getting to Washington is detrimental to sound thinking. Most of them should be cast out and quickly if we are to ever recover.
He has NOT freeze government spending has he? The job rates have not been up since he has been in office, unemployment however has been up. He never asked the Republicans for help getting obamacare passed. In fact he ignored them completely. Reagan turned the economy around in two years and the economy was very bad when he became president. BTW, overnight must be a very long time to you because Obama has been president for about 28 months now.Why are people blaming Obama for the financial crisis when he inherited it through past presidents?
Historically, Republicans have been very poor losers.



They don't accept facts; they are history revisionists.



Their guy practically destroyed this country, but they will never admit it.



Instead, they choose to act like spoiled kindergarteners and stand in the way of anything that benefits the American people.
He was part of that very Congress who spent like drunken sailors (last two years of Bush's term) before he became President and now he has spent 3 Trillion in addition to what the Dem's created, since becoming the President. It is his doing and he should be held accountable for it! He is destroying America.
People at the top get to take credit for all the wins (like Obama's Peace prize) and are on the hot seat to create change we can believe in. Obama was not the change maker he claimed to be, he's more like Bush#3.
You may be right, but do tell me, do you think we elected him to blame others , or to fix things?? All he has done is make excuses.A ;leader looks for solutions, not excuses.
No president gets a free ride, he promised he would fix it. People are blaming him for not doing what he promised, they know he did not start this, but he promised to end it.
Because the ones blaming him were the party previously in power and it COULDN'T be their fault!
totally agree.

he's the first to attack the deficit head on.

though I don't agree that education should be hit.
When exactly is it a good time for Obama to take any responsibility for his actions?



2033 perhaps?
Because they are Republicans whose candidate lost the election.
Obama was not the change maker he claimed to be, he's more like Bush#3. :-)
I am amazed at how the GOP openly complains about the size of government and the size of the national debt.



Bush moved thousands of jobs out of the private sector into the government. He caused a large number of small business owners to close their business when he made the government take over the jobs private contractors were doing. This did a number of things including adding billions of dollars onto the government payroll, added thousands of new government employees pushing employee health care and retirement costs up, and cut into private sector jobs forcing small business out of the market,



Bush also borrowed billions and billions of dollars from foreign countries and never repaid it or the interest due on it. Most of what he borrowed never even showed up as a debt until 2009. The money he borrowed and the interest now due on it is close to a trillion dollars.



The GOP wants people to believe the size of government has grown under Obama and the national debt has been all his fault. SOme of it is; you can not do government business or any other business when the costs of everything else is going up; last years rates are history. The cost of government goes up every year regardless of who is president. The costs of the BUSH WARS still lingers on our national debt. His (Bush's) comments too the rest of the world ("you are either with us or against us") alienated much of the good will favoring our country and lost a lot of respect for our nation.



Had the Republicans not been fighting Obama so much and had been trying to help resolve our problems we would be better off today.
Some people seem to think Obama has the Pecos Bill magic; get half way through the problem and just turn around and go back. The problems America have contended with in the past two years started five years ago. Obama inherited them when he took office. We would like to have seen them fixed by now but the GOP stated even before Obama took office that they would do everything they could to see the Obama Administration failed and that is what they have done. The GOP has not done a thing to help fix our problems but rather fought everything the Obama Administration has tried too do.



The GOP did not want to win the 2008 presidential elections. They knew fixing the mess Bush was leaving behind would take a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of unpopular decisions, They felt it was best to let the Democrats win and then blame the problems on who ever was in office.



That is why McCain was moved from the back to the front and Palin was selected to run as his VP. That set up a sure loss for the Republicans.



Had the Republicans been trying to help FIX AMERICA in the last two years instead of creating inefficiencies, hate, discontent and Obama failure many of our problems today would have been cleared up in the past two years.



IF OBAMA IS TO FAIL IT SHOULD BE ON HIS OWN! Nothing can justify any elected officials attempts to create failure in our government!

Is Obama, with his cabinet appointments creating a government akin to a Technocracy?

A Technocracy is a Government in which the various aspects of society are run by those that know them best. With Obama's Choices for his staff being all across the board and being focused more on their ability to do the job well then their ideology, is Obama making somewhat of a Technocracy?Is Obama, with his cabinet appointments creating a government akin to a Technocracy?
Possible. On the other hand we tried the 'faith-based', flag waving and cross shaking method of government. That didn't work out so well did it? Obama is a realistic kind of guy with a 'get the job done' mentality. He's a fact based decision maker, a good thing in a time when most of the 'facts' are against us. Does this mean he'll pull a prosperity rabbit out of his hat? No it doesn't. Sometimes in spite of the best efforts the ship sinks, the plane crashes and the boy doesn't get the girl. We may find a way out of this via the 'technocrats', but it's just as likely we'll all be characters as in 'Lost'.....forced to adapt to an entirely new situation with no obvious rescue in sight. Ah,well....we're Americans aren't we? Americans can do anything when properly motivated. I'd say the current situation is motivation enough to get us individually and collectively off out @sses and begin dealing with the reality we're in, not the reality we'd like. Wadda' 'ya think?
It sounds like what he's doing fits the definition of your word, if that's what you're asking.Is Obama, with his cabinet appointments creating a government akin to a Technocracy?
In a way this time round it is not a popularity test as to who

.

Gets what position

.

Kind of like I like that dude and I don't like the way that creep looks idea of picking who can do the job this time

.

Only this time Obama is using the idea of

,

Do you know what the hell you are doing

.

Before he even picks someone to be considered for the position

.
Sure - - - and Al Gore is an expert on environmental issues.

I do not trust any elected politician to have enough knowledge about science and technology to make a logical decision about anything.

Free market investors are far better equipped to make logical decisions on how they need to invest their money to supply the world with what it needs - at a profit - the Government will do it at a loss, with lots of waste, and fraud.

They will ruin lives. They will kill wildlife. They will produce little and all will suffer.

Hold on to your pocketbooks.Is Obama, with his cabinet appointments creating a government akin to a Technocracy?
Granting your definition I would say yes. But I don't agree that he is finding the best people for the jobs without regard to ideology. His selection for DCI shows that.
No, you've got to be kidding! The word you're looking for is Socialist.
Not at all. That would imply that he was appointing people which were experts in particular fields. That would be encouraging and real change. What he seems to be doing is just more of the same or worse. He's appointing a lot of old pols from the Clinton years. Furthermore, he in my opinion did the unthinkable. It was rummered that in two years he would replace Fed Chairman Bernake with old pol Larry Summers. The last president to do something like this was Carter who appointed Miller to Fed Chairman which resulted in disaster. Later he was forced to appoint a pro, Volker. From then presidents have appointed Fed Chairman with good technical credentials. It looks like Obama wants to go back to the old method of putting pols in office rather than the technical knowledgeable
Good answers, everyone!!



Nah, it's more like a Hollywood movie with an over-representation of minority stuffed shirts.

Blago laughing at Obama,? How is Obama going to stand up to Achmedinajad if he can't control a mere corrupt ? ?

Governor of his home state,

Blago is running all over him, literally giving Obama the finger, while Obama makes weak speeches at his podium?Blago laughing at Obama,? How is Obama going to stand up to Achmedinajad if he can't control a mere corrupt ? ?
Blago is a typical mobster. He is doing it, because he can. I don't have to tell you what happens to people, who screw over the Mob. Obama can't do anything now, but crap his pants, and wait for the next shoe to drop. No pun intended, President Bush.
Because the Governor stated today that he's going to sing a pretty little tune to the FBI, America gonna love it!



I think Obama getting a wee bit worried, if he is one of the Lyrics!Blago laughing at Obama,? How is Obama going to stand up to Achmedinajad if he can't control a mere corrupt ? ?
Without pre-conditions.
Blago knows too much and Obama is worried. I wouldn't be surprised if Blago conveniently disappears or "commits suicide."Blago laughing at Obama,? How is Obama going to stand up to Achmedinajad if he can't control a mere corrupt ? ?
How is ANY president or president-elect suppose to control a governor? They don't work for the president, you know i.e. there is no chain of command there. As for Obama giving "weak speeches" on this matter, are you aware the the FBI asked Obama to hold off saying anything until next week?
What exactly should Obama do? For that matter what does he have the authority to do?
You know, sometimes it best to be silent and thought a fool then to open your mouth --or in this case, key your thoughts and prove it.



President-Elect Obama is not divulging any Information at this time because he was asked by FBI to hold off until next week. His transparency will be revealed then. As I am sure you will be ready to absorb.
I guess it's a lot like why we can't control stupid people posting stupid questions and I think you have to be pretty dense to think that a state senator has any powers over a state governor. You are a moron!
He's not going to stand up to him he's going to sit down and talk, remember.
he cant. obama is a weak leader.
No person can "control" any other person.
I don't know what happened with Blagovich and neither do you, and Obama has bigger things to worry about at the moment. I have yet to see the tapes where Blagovich was supposedly recorded.
Obama can't put someone to death, just because of the fact they are an embarrassment
Obama is going to be POTUS and with have no problem handling any foreign leader. Blago is going to jail. And your comments are not a question.
No, I haven't actually heard him laughing at Obama. But it might help if you try it. You take yourself too seriously. Why not take a few weeks off, and relax?
You better hope he can.



HE IS YOUR PRESIDENT in a few weeks.



To answer your "question" YES HE CAN !!!!!!!
