Hilary Clinton – Barack Obama – McCain - Political - Robocalls - Audio Of Robocall Here
Hear The Audio Of The Robocall Here!
Is Obama winning the Race? Or is he just a pace-maker?
Hilary Clinton has been backing Senator McCain by allowing the use of her voice to be used in a full on robocall campaign used to step up the heat on the political Presidential campaign. With only a few days to go now, the heat is well and truly on.
‘According to news reports, the robo-call starts out with a voice saying: “Listen to what Hillary Clinton had to say about John McCain and Barack Obama’.
A recording of Hilary Clinton’s voice comes in, saying: “In the White House, there is no time for speeches and on-the-job training. Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign, and then they bring in a speech that Senator Obama delivered in 2002.
The call also includes the hard hitting statement: “need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge’s home, and killed Americans.” Which is I must say extremely worrying.
A robocall is a an automated telemarketing phone call generated by computerized autodialler, and is supposed to resemble a call from a robot, and these robocalls are being sent out to homes and cell phones alll over the USA. Political campaigns use these as part of their strategies and promotion and as they are not considered to be ‘marketeers’, they therefore get away with submitting these computerized calls.
It is being argued that the choice of Sarah Palin as Vice President will do damage to the campaign in the Philadelphia suburbs where they are not too impressed with her. They will sorely pay the price for that Washington Post’s David S. Broder, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” At the moment the Obhama campaign is doing just fine and he is well ahead of the opposition.
The late breakers are yet to vote and gained from statistics in previous years, they usually go with the underdog. Pennsylvania doesn’t allow early voting, and Obama is pretty nervous because of this as he has been doing very nicely from this so far.
Stephanopoulos, American broadcaster and former political adviser, and currently ABC News’s Chief Washington posed a question to Democratic lobbyists around the city. “Does Obama’s anti-lobbyist hiring policy mean that anyone who has ever lobbied is ineligible to work in a prospective White House”?
“No, it doesn’t mean that,” said David Axelrod, an American political consultant based in Chicago, Illinois, and top adviser to Barack Obama, he went on to say that anyone who’d worked as a lobbyist in the last two years would be ineligible.
Stephanopoulos then asked whether Axelrod would take a position in an Obama administration. To which he answered:”I love him and I love this country, and I’ll do whatever I can to help”.
Obama is ahead in the polls by a good margin but will the American people ultimately go for the inexperience of Obama? his race consciousness and tax-and-spend liberalism? Basically does he have what it takes, at the end of the day to deal with difficult foreign and domestic issues on a major scale?
Come Election Day, I think that most American voters will feel more comfortable voting for experience and not for a candidate who falls so far outside the cultural and political mainstream of the country.
Whilst war hero McCain lags behind, I feel him to be the better candidate of the two, and what he does offer to the people of America is his experience at the helm, and an unquestioned history of service and patriotism to his country.
Also he holds a proven track record of legislative and diplomatic leadership. These, in my mind are the true qualities of a leader…
To quote McCain himself, some months back: “When times are tough, we need a steady hand at the tiller, and the great honor of my life was to always put my country first”.
Obama is leading by 7 points as of this morning and he will cast his vote in Chicago, his home town, tomorrow. He has just a few hours left to sway the undecided as he moves in on Florida, North Carolina and Virginia.
If Obama gets into office it will be historical, as he would the first black president of the United States of America. Virginia holds the key for him and Pastor Howard John Wesley has been holding rousing sermons of support from his church saying how blessed they were to have a qualifying black candidate for the presidential elections.
Both Candidates will be doing a whistle stop tour today, as they criss cross each other in the skies, to travel to their respective key swing states. Obama will fly 771 miles, whilst McCain will fly a massive 3, 659 miles in his bid to secure votes.
Today promises to be the biggest turn out of voters for a Century and this campaign has definitely been the most exciting in many a year. In the Poll of Polls for California, Barama is showing a strong 24 point lead and the polling stations opened early today to accommodate the long queues that had formed.
Well, the final lap of the race is now well and truly on in the final round of campaigning, and we will very shortly know who ‘is’ to become the new President of the United States of America.
But whoever gets in will have a large job on their hands to gloss over and diminish the tarnished legacy left over from the office of George Walker Bush.-

It does make sense to vote for experience ahead of inexperience; who knows how the vote will go though! I guess we’ll be finding out soon… Tense times ahead for McCain and Obama! That’s for sure.
Excellent post from you there as always.
