Obama and McCain Focus on the Health Care Issues

www.rushprnews.com - 9th Oct 2008

Joe Biden: WASHINGTON,DC(RUSHPRNEWS)10/09/2008--In this week’s debates, the candidates spent a lot of time talking about health care. Health care is on a lot of people’s minds this election, as health insurance rates keep rising and leave many families unable to afford much-needed health care. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a health care plan that will make quality health care affordable and accessible for every American. It builds on the existing health care plan. So if you like you’re health insurance - you can keep it, and will pay up to $2,500 less annually than you do now. If you don’t have health insurance, you will have a choice of quality, affordable health care options. The Obama-Biden plan doesn’t leave Read full story at www.rushprnews.com

Jim Piccillo Introduces Joe Biden as John McCain
Jim Piccillo introduced Joe Biden at a rally as "the next Vice President of the United States John McCain." The audience clapped on cue. Would they have still clapped if McCain really walked out on stage? Jim Piccillo, who is a father of two, is a Republican who started campaigning for Barack Hussein Obama after Jim was laid off from his job. I have to wonder if perhaps Jim lost his job because he kept making simple mistakes like calling people by the wrong name. Rela

Biden says attacks from McCain camp are ‘beyond disappointing’
(CNN) -- Sen. Joe Biden on Wednesday charged that Sen. John McCain’s campaign is trying to "appeal to fear" with their latest round of negative attacks. Sen. Joe Biden says Sen. John McCain’s campaign has become "erratic." Biden said Gov. Sarah Palin was raising "the most outrageous inferences" and said the attacks on Sen. Barack Obama are "beyond disappointing" and "wrong." Over the weekend, Palin accused Obama of "palling around with terrorist

Dukakis on the Election: Obama Knows How to Win, 'McCain Has Nothing'
When John McCain’s campaign made it clear over the weekend that their stretch-run strategy would lean heavily on raising questions about Barack Obama’s personal history and past “associations,” Obama’s communications director provided a simple, almost indifferent reaction to the Washington Post: “This isn’t 1988.” Michael Dukakis, the Democratic presidential nominee whose campaign was eviscerated that year by tactics ripped from the same playbook from which Mr. McCain now seems intent on bor

Thoughts on 'The Obama Show'
That Barack Obama’s campaign has selected a Wednesday at 8 p.m. slot to run its half-hour infomercial is pretty convenient for networks, given that some broadcasters are struggling to draw viewers to that time period anyway -- “Obama ... cancels ‘Knight Rider,’” is how Gawker gleefully put it. And Obama really should trump the talking car. By the numbers, Obama is one of the biggest breakout TV stars of the season. His convention speech drew more than 38 million viewers.

Nielsen: 63.2 million watch second McCain-Obama debate
UPDATED: It may have been dull, but that didn't stop viewers from watching.  Tuesday night's presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama was seen by 63.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. That's about 21% more than watched the candidates' first showdown two weeks ago -- an event seen by 52.4 million -- and ranks as the highest-rated top-of-the-ticket debate since 1992. If one includes PBS viewership estimates, which are not part of the Nielsen sample, Tuesday's

The Ratings Drought: Where's the Next Roseanne?
So we've pretty much established that nobody's watching anything this season. New shows are middling at best in the ratings, relaunched shows like Chuck and ABC's Wednesday have cratered—even hits like House and Grey's are not doing so hot. OK, part of this is demographic, social and technological. 500 channels, time-shifting, blah blah blah. There are just more, and smaller audiences now. That's not gonna change. And yet 70 million people watched Joe Biden and Sarah Palin for 90 minutes—proving ther

Attack Dog Biden Introduced As McCain
Former Republican turned Barack Obama backer Jim Piccillo made quite the gaffe when introducing vice-presidential hopeful Joe Biden today. Said Piccillo: "…No matter your party, gender, race, or religion, please help me today in welcoming the next vice president of the United States: John McCain!" How embarrassing! The real Joe Biden, meanwhile, has spent much his day taking on Republican running mate Sarah Palin, who did nothing this week when her supporters suggested Obama be killed and c

Sarah Palin The Red Indian Amazon Warrior
Yes, both Todd and Sarah Palin, whom most people in the U.S. and abroad had never even heard of until six weeks ago, have emerged as powerful new symbols of a revived contemporary feminism. That the macho Todd, with his champion athleticism and working-class cred, can so amiably cradle babies and care for children is a huge step forward in American sexual symbolism. Oh, Annie Oakley… Although nothing will sway my vote for Obama, I continue to enjoy Sarah Palin’s performance on the national sta

So far, debates lack the memorable lines of past
Late in their debate, Sarah Palin looked over at Joe Biden and channeled the memory of Ronald Reagan's famed putdown of Jimmy Carter in 1980. "There you go again," she said. Well, governor, we knew Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was a friend of ours. And, governor, you're no Ronald Reagan. Debate moments destined to linger in memory beyond the current campaign, like that last paragraph's playful co-opting of Lloyd Bentsen's withering 1988 insult of Dan Quayle, have been missing this year with three down and o

John McCain Used to Be Funny, Had Hair
In the post-debate blogosphere, the standout watercooler moment, the topline gaffe, was when McCain referred to his opponent as "that one." Everyone wants to know, "what did he mean? Was it disrespect? Racism? A sign of out-of-touchness?" Google "that one" and see what comes up. But to me, even more notable than McCain's already infamous talk-down was his reference to hair transplants. It's no secret that Obama's running mate Joe Biden is rumored to have had his wispy white mane transplanted in, and when di

In a study by Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, among John McCain, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin, the press has been toughest on the Governor of Alaska. Less than four out of 10 respondents (38%) say Gov. Palin has received the most severe treatment by the press, compared to 21% who say the coverage has been too easy and 38% who say it has been fair. Not surprisingly, a majority of Republicans (63%) think Governor Palin has been treated unfairly by the media, while only 18% of Demo
