Team Player:
I googled (despite their also being in the tank for The One, I still love the search engine) “Does Obama write his own speeches?” and the first of many articles disagrees with yours:

Of course, they are the NY Times, so they might be in the tank for Palin. 
If you still want to argue that Palin is not qualified to be VP, do I need to remind you that during the primary debates, no less a light than Joe Biden said that Obama was not qualified to be Prez, and Hillary implied as much, saying his qualification was that he had made a speech? Now of course they both say he is the most qualified man in history, but the cat’s out of the bag because we know how they really feel.
You’re serious about this moral equivalency about the very mild things we do to people who are out to kill us when we try to get information that may save tens of thousands of lives, to the barbarous things that our enemies do? Do you also feel that they have all the rights as citizens under our constitution, and should be handled in our criminal courts as well, where their attorneys will have access to national secrets?
While I don’t endorse Alex’ debate style, he has raised some good points that you don’t refute very well:
“- Is a self professed marxists.”
While Obama himself is probably not a Marxist per se, you do realize much of his childhood and teenage years were spent under the influence of professed Marxists? His own father was a self-identified communist, and the childhood mentor that he refers to in his own books is an avowed communist as well:

I have no idea if this is a right wing site or not, it was the first hit on google for “Obama Frank Marshall” but I have heard of them. In any case, since the left and their media buds refuse to look into or even talk about any of this, the only place to find information at all may be on right wing sites. That doesn’t mean that they are necessary wrong however. I encourage you to do several similar google inquiries and find other sites as well.
-Has convicted friends, hangs with race hucksters, and is buddies with terrorists
The media has gone along with Obama’s disingenuous statements that Ayers was “just some guy in the nieghborhood” but the evidence is growing that they were joined at the hip for a very long time, possibly since the late 1980′s until he left the board of the Chicago Annenburg Challenge just a few years ago. I refer you to a recent article on this very site that has a good summary, but there are other sites that dive more deeply into this:

In addition to the other communist connections, did you know that the Weather Underground that Ayers and that slimeball witch of a wife, Bernadine Dohrn, founded, was also an avowedly communist organization with the goal of overthrowing the government. Read what the lovely Dohrn had to say about the Manson murders on this site as well:

I was a college students when these two darlings were active and they were really sick puppies. So much for the guy in the neighborhood that did some dumb stuff when Obama was still a fetus or whatever.
And both McCain and Obama have lobbyists on their staffs and as bundlers. Unfortunately, these crooks pervade politics to the extent that they are unavoidable. Joe Biden’s son became wealthy as a lobbyist. Remember that literally every public organization, including all the popular leftist ones like the Sierra Club, retain lobbyists to press their views in DC.
McCain’s involvement with Keating was the most peripheral of the Keating 5 (the other 4 were prominent democrats). He has since asknowledged and apologized for this occurrence which was 20 years ago and has kept his nose pretty clean since then. However, the ties to Rezko and Wright and Hagee and Ayers were very close for decades, and in fact only ended when he had to toss them all under the bus only a few months ago. They were not just acquaintances but integral components in shaping who he is and how he got to where he is.
To compare the depths of the relationships you cited for McCain and the ones for Obama is very misleading, and the standard brushoff you get from the media, who again refuse to even look at them.
“-Agrees that gas prices should stay high and off-shore drilling is bad while Americans suffer.
He does not agree that gas prices should stay high and he does not believe off shore drilling is bad:”
Oh please. He supports offshore drilling the same way the fraud that just passed the house does. By limiting the drilling to 50 miles offshore and permanently blocking it off the west coast, Alaska and the prime areas off Florida, where 97% of the recoverable oil is. And he and they know that environmental lawsuits will prevent even that tiny bit from ever being drilled. For crissakes, the CHINESE are working with CUBA to drill in the Caribbean and we can’t? WTF!
That’s enough for now, but I ask you this – can we agree that the reaction to Palin by the left, the media, the blogs has been vicious, vile, despicable and over the top?
