We need a new vision. Obama is really the only one who :"gets it." The issue of this campaign is past vs. the future. To quote the immortal words of Paul D in the final pages of Toni Morrison's novel Beloved, "We've had more than our share of yesterdays. What we need is a tomorrow."
That's what American needs. That's what the world needs. Obama understands that.
CAMPAIGN 2008

The Illinois senator's biggest supporter is back with superhuman powers and a new video. Watch it here first.

This video is an example of the kind of TRASH democrats represent. Hillary's new healthcare will pay for this slut's new boob job. With Obama social policies, she can collect a welfare check every month after people get sick of her and she has no way to make money anymore.
I think this idiot is the perfect representative for the democratic party-
Posted By: Leebo @ 02/01/2008 6:56:11 AM
Wow. And this is the kind of hate and vitriol Republicans represent (or at least some of them). Do you like having our military protect us? Highways? Fire departments? Sidewalks? Maybe you want to live in a country where it's very man for himself? (Won't even address the inherent sexism in your welfare mom and boob job comments).
Plus, have a sense of humor! Sure, these are serious times. I just hope you get as upset about the families without health insurance as you seem to be about this goofy video!
Obama '08! Yes we can!-
Posted By: Newsweek is a joke @ 02/05/2008 8:46:33 PM
1. Yes - I HATE paying for people's laziness, stupidity, failure to use birth control, etc. I hate it. Get your hands out of my wallet, because I earned every penny that I have. Got it?
2. I do support the armed forces - that's why I'm a republican
3. What do highways and fire departments have to do with it? I don't know of any candidate on either side who is planning on ceasing to support infrastructure.
4. As far as your accusation that I'm a sexist - I'm a woman.....so.....? Why did you assume I was a man? Because I'm not a starry-eyed, cheerleading dim-wit with my head in the clouds like yourself? Because I have a little bit of common sense? There are smart women, honey. You just don't know any.
5. If this country was "every man for himself" as you said (Or shall we say 'every WOMAN for HERSELF, so as not to sound sexist) I would certainly be better off than you would. You would be curled up in the fetal position waiting for Obama to save you.
6. As far as families without health insurance - they should buy it like I do. I'm self employed and I pay out the *** for my health insurance. So you want me to pay for thiers also? Or maybe they could GET A JOB - as almost every employer provides health care. At some point, people have to start taking care of thier own families. That's what you don't understand. We can't solve every single problem for every single person in this country. It sucks that health care is expensive, but you need to find a way to deal with it. If you are not smart/resourceful/skilled enough to do that, then it's you who suffers, not me.
7. "Obama '08! Yes we can!" - I'm, like, totally, like, rolling my eyes right now.

This is disgusting objectification of women to promote a candidate. I really hope Obama himself denounces this. It just goes to show that America would still rather see a woman as a sex object than elect one as president.

This is a great point. I agree 100%. Someday when we have a woman candidate with a minimum amount of integrity and can stand on her own two feet instead of her husband's back then I will happily vote for her. Until then, it's Obama '08!

And whose back has Obama ridden? African Americans??? No. He's riding Ted Kennedy's back, John Kerry's back and any other supposedly strong white senator or governor whose foolish enough to endanger their own political lives in endorsing him. Let's not forget, in his own words """" I despise my mother's people......" Hey Teddy, John & Caroline, that's you and every other caucasian U.S. Citizen. Wake up.

lammo1: when and where did Senator Obama state that "he hated his mother's people" Did you get that information the same place that the other idiots got that he is a muslim terrorist? What is wrong with you? The sad thing is that there are other idiots who will believe this nonsense because some other fool (that would be you) put it into print. Why can't we just focus on the candidates position on the issues that concern us instead of spreading idiotic rumors.,

Newsweek's pro-Obama stand has turned it into a 24/7 Obama Marketing campaign.
I am not surprised that there are at least four pro-Obama pieces (as the following) now on Newsweek's site while there is no one article for Hillary leading to Super Tuesday.
Pro-Obama pieces:
1. Twilight of a Baby Boom
2. Barack + GOP = ???Obamacans???
3. JFK???s Heir
4. The Wrong Experience
Pro-Hillary peices:
zero
What's Newsweek's fairness in terms of news reporting?
Is Hillary not a legitimate candidate who at least should be given the equal exposure of Newsweek's coverage leading to Super Tuesday?
I was an Obama supporter until mainstream media's unfair treatment towards this primary election circle. It doesn't sit well with my sense of fairness.
I know Obama phenomenon has everything to do with 24/7 mainstream media's favorable courage. Without mainstream media???s macrophone, can Obama so quickly enlarge to god-like stature? I sense that mainstream media???s love for Obama is originated from certain anti-Clinton sentiment.
I am not surprised Obama is doing so well so quickly. As a candidate if you have 24/7 mainstream media on your side and they are eager to give you a free ride, how can you not get ahead?

What is the difference between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? A lot more than most think. It lies in their actions and their records, which speak far louder than their similar policy platforms.

Men love Obama Girl and women want to be her ...
On a more serious note ...
A "dream" ticket combining Obama and Clinton would be more like a nightmare shotgun wedding than anything else.
It would not be credible because one calls us to higher ground and the other offers a siren call from the swamp.
A speech given by President John F. Kennedy is perhaps the best refutation of the Clinton approach to politics, and an endorsement of the Obama magic...
"When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses."
America is tired of the arrogance, corruption and lack of that elusive thing called grace that characterized Bill Clinton's "co-presidency" with Hillary.
Or, to put it another way, as the ancient Romans said: "When Cicero had finished speaking, the people said, 'How well he spoke,' but when Demosthenes had finished speaking, the people said, 'Let us march.'"
America is on the move again.

All candidates need to talk more about the working class. They think the middle class has problems talk to us? Health care! Why not put a limit on the doctors and the companies they invest in the hospitals and health care provider companies. The foreign doctors would go home if they were not getting more than their due here. Social health care, Hmmm I work for a living and do not won???t to set in line with dope dealers and illegal immigrants to get my health care. Legalize drugs. The government should give them away and the gangs and a lot of illegal immigrants will go away. Guns! Hillary every law biding citizen should be allowed to have one at all times period.

Obama deserves the presidency. He's young, with good ideas, doesn't carry excess baggage, he isn't being bought, he owes nothing to anyone. We need a man without experience even though Clinton says she has over 20 years of it, that's the problem it's the same old 'stew' that will be stewing in Washington. If Barack's heart is in the right place which I believe it is and that is to serve the people and not the ???old glowing worms??? in Washington he???ll make it! If you love people and really want to be there for them, all else will fall in place. Even the world will see it and all it???s ugliness will defuse it self and the United States in time will gain back its reputation! It???s going to be a long haul cleaning house in Washington but it???ll happen!
I just hope voters will see his genuine ability rather than seeing black and white!-

Deserves the presidency.... Deserves the presidency.... What in God's name has this man done to deserve the presidence? And how do you know his heart is in the right place? You nothing about this man as he refuses to answer any question put to him and his background is "alarmingly questionable". Send him back to Illinois and have him actually accumulate some type of legislative record and maybe then he can consider running in about 8 years after Hillary leaves office..... Unless of course, Chelsea decides to run......

All politicians owe something to someone; running a campaign can be very expensive. CHANGE is what you will have in you pockets, if he wins. If you ever have taken a course in Economics, you would have learned that promoting Education, Developing better Technology (Such as energy, health care, business and government operations, etc, etc), Fiscal responsibility (such as a balanced budget, and lower taxes), just to name a few are the most effective way to improve a country commonwealth, economic growth, and better standard of living for everyone. I love this country and it is sad when people don???t think what socialism could do to a country if not checked. The old Soviet Union experimented with this already, so let???s be careful. Everyone should have the same opportunity to study and/or work hard for a better life. And I know that we should honor and take care of our senior citizens, but Government spending is out of control and Obama doesn???t have a clear plan how he will actually help this country. His main plan consists on Spending, Spending and Spending, which translates to Taxes, Taxes, and more Taxes. Which means our country well being would be on the wrong path at a faster pace. CHANGE is just another word that will translate to more SPENDING, more TAXES, out of control GOV BUDGET, higher unemployment rate, higher inflation, etc. Don???t let me get started about the National Security and Foreign Policy of our Nation. His main plan is to run away and talk, run away and talk. I am sure that Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden is 100% for any candidate that will make us weak as a nation. Please give me a break open your eyes and start thinking. Don???t be fooled! By the way I noticed that in previous debates he was against license for illegal Aliens, now that wants the Hispanic Vote, he CHANGED his position.-

You need to pay closer attention to the debates. Obama has ALWAYS been for licenses for undocumented workers AFTER certain criteria are met. He explained this quite succintly last night, if you were listening. Hillary is the one who changed her position. If you don't want to vote for Obama, fine. But please don't misrepresent him.

Obama Girl may love Obama, but Obama loves Reagan. Read why he said that people voted for Reagan.
"I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think people, he just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was we want clarity we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing."
The excesses and growth of the government were what the Democrats did. It was Medicare, Civil Rights, Progressive taxation, Government Regulation of the economy. Calling them excesses is Republican language. Most Democrats didn't think they went far enough. And the Optimism was against the honest soul searching that Americans had after Vietnam and Watergate of our place in the world. And lets not forget that Reagan's rose colored glasses made those suffering from aids invisible.

OBAMA was against the war. THIs is a big advantage over McCain. Keep in mind he is willing to stay for a hundred years there. Barak matches up much better against McCain than Hillary. The Democratic establishment realizes this and will make sure OBAMA WINS the nomination. WE cannot AFFORD to lose the WHITE HOUSE to the republicans.

I think that most all democrats and independents as well as some republicans will vote for whoever is willing to bring our troops home when you have a nominee like John Mccain who says he may keep troops in Iraq for 100 years. I think the democrats could put a trainied monkey on the ticket and as long as the monkey agreed to bring troops home most people in this country would vote for the monkey.

I think it's funny that people are trying to use religion against Obama. Christian or Muslim, lets not forget: First Amendment: addresses the rights of freedom of religion (prohibiting Congressional establishment of a religion over another religion through Law and protecting the right to free exercise of religion), freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of petition. If you are truly and American then the you don't care about what his religion is, you care what his politics are. He could be a Scientologist and I wouldn't care. Mitt's a Mormon and I say Kudos to him for running a religious free campaign.

It is amazing to me that Mr. Barrack I don't believe in politics as usual Obama came out very political last night in the comment that he made that the illegal immigrants in this country aren't harmful to the black community when it comes to jobs. Talk about a joke. The very reason that we have so many unemployed is due to illegal immigration. In an attempt to persuade the latino community to join him he has proved once and for all that he to is willing to say anything to get the nomination. WOW!!! It took a Clinton to clean up the mess from the first Bush it will take a Clinton to clean up the mess of our current Bush.

Oboma spoke the truth. Blacks have been disenfranchised in the job market long before the Mexican immigration boom. Also, how are expected to compete when employers are getting away with hiring undocumented workers for less then minimum wage and longer hours.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is
quick to point out that, 'He was once a Muslim, but that he also
attended Catholic school.'
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that
that he is not a radical.
Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this
influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned
to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct
influence over his son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham,
introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school
in Jakarta .
Wahabism is the RADICAL ISLAMIC teaching that is followed by the Muslim
terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since
it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major
public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has joined
the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim
background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he
DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegience nor
will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands
over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential
candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside
out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the
President of the United States , one of their own!!!!-
Posted By: sedonakaren @ 02/01/2008 8:23:06 AM
This *** barely deserves my time to respond, but since there are people out there who actually believe every rumor they hear about things and people they don't understand, I will say this. FACTCHECK.COM!
Obama is not a Muslim and never has been one. His father left when he was two, so that explains why it would have been impossible for his father to "introduce" him to Islam. I'm not aware of radical Islam saying they would destroy us from the inside, but if they have, they wouldn't need to have one of their own run for President. All they would need is PEOPLE LIKE YOU to divide our country and try to make everyone FEAR everyone else. That would do the job. We cannot be ruled by fear any longer. Bush and Cheiney already tried that, and the people are rebelling!. -

I don't know why you have so much fear. Obama is a good person and he is not a muslim. and you know what there're so many americans who are christians and doing what the muslim do in Irag and Afganistan or other part of the world. So what if he use the KORAN nOT ALL MUSLIM ARE BAD PEOPLE..

Posted By: amy123 @ 02/01/2008 3:22:13 AM
Have you read the koran, mabe you should read it before you say that, basically it says anyone who
believes different then them(the infidel) should be killed, if hes using that to be sworn in thats really scary. It shows where his heart is. I dont care if someone isnt christian but I do care if they follow a religion that wants us all dead.
