    Obama could not do any worse regarding embarrasing the nation than Bush has already done. Obama has the ability to make widespread positive change regarding this nation which in my opinion is desparately needed. A strong ethical compass is a great asset to have in the political arena where integrity, honesty, and truthfulness is in short supply. Give him a chance to turn this country around for the better a lot of experienced presidents have done only medicore jobs at running this country maybe a new fresh perspective that has not been degraded by the traditional "old school" good old boy system would work wonders for this country.

      Can you outline this "35 years of experience" for me? Does this "experience" include being a first lady of Arkansas or The United States of America? Hillary didn't get elected...Bill did. Her health care plan now is similar to the one she PROPOSED then....it didn't make it out of the House. She's only served ONE FULL TERM AS A U.S. SENATOR. As far as scandals go, The Clintons have been plagued with them...from Flowers to Whitewater to Lewinsky. What did all of this experience get us concerning the War in Iraq? She does have A LOT of experience taking money from federal lobbyist and PACs. They are some of her biggest supporters. Yeah, Hillary Clinton has a lot of experience. THE WRONG KIND OF EXPERIENCE.
      Lastly, making the BIG CHANGES our country needs requires bi-partisanship and cooperation...BARACK OBAMA HAS THAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE.

    Just listen to all the cynicism in so many comments. Where does it come from? I have an idea. How about being young and believing that you can make a difference and have that hope ripped away and grow up and become disillusioned by the realization that all you are is a consumer of goods to provide ever increasing wealth to the elite. Look at what we have let happen to our country. This government that was founded by the people for the people. How many of you really truly still believe that when we watch Bush Mobile make record (in the history of the country) profits. This is not a new theme people! It???s been going on since the beginning of time. But what we should never forget is that throughout history there have been leaders who have inspired people to make a difference.

    But lets not go there, lets keep the status quo, lets sit back and watch our jobs go to China and our top executives screw up their company???s and still make 300 hundred times the average workers wages. Lets keep working more hours for less pay Lets keep the Iraqi quagmire going and lets not worry about being white watered.

    His name says it all. He is of muslim heritage, attends a muslim sympathizing "church", he wants a full blown civil war in the Middle East, and he IS a media created one hit wonder. If you support Hussein then there is NO possibility that you are a Republican. This idea is, to use Bills words, "a fairy tale".

  • Posted By: gracie2008 @ 02/06/2008 8:56:23 PM

    Viva HIllary, Viva Bill! All the way to the White House. Obama claims to be able to join groups together. When, where, how and why? I have not seen it. It's just a promise from an unvetted man.

    I won't fall for it.

        No he is not. Allah is their god, and Mohammed is their prophet. Hussein Obama is their iman.

          HolyRoller:

          Too much holy water for you. Since you "appear" to be a "holyroller", I remind you of Joshua 24-15 wherein it says "choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve [...] as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." Obama boasts about accepting our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 20 years ago. Seems like to me YOU have chosen whom you THINK Obama serves. Your ignorance is your bliss, so enjoy yourself in your ignorance.

            Maybe him and Huckabee can have a short theological debate. I very much doubt his "conversion". His pastor sounds like Farrakan. NO MOHAMMEDS!!!

  • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 02/07/2008 6:41:32 AM

    Mohammed was a pedophil, worshipper of angels, and author of a cult of death. Hussein Obama is at best a sympathizer to this pagan cult. America will not accept this culture.

      We should not go so low in dealing with issues.Please don't disrespect people's faith. I am a Christian. Obama is a Christian.Don't you know that both Christianity, Judaism and Islam have the same prophets including Jesus.One of America's best allies was King Hussein of Jordan.All Muslims are not evil, all Christinas are not evil and all Jews are not evil.We need to know and understand the world my friend .

        The mohammed religion was, is, and always will be one of the most dangerous spawns ot the satanic realm. It is a very deviously conncocted lie created by the father of all lies. And America will not accept this culture

            Too bad, so sad. Hussein is about to have to answer some real questions. His candidacy is a YouTube one hit wonder. And as for the crack smoking you must have meant him.

              Hollyroller: you should change your handle 'cause there is nothing "Holly" in your idiotic comments. Obama is a Chrisitian, yes he lived in Indonesia as a child, but he went to a Christian school. And even if he was a Muslim, being a Muslim does not make you a terrorist, you imbecile. Get your facts straight! Steve.

              • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 02/07/2008 8:14:28 PM

                B. Hussein Obama wants a vacuum in Iraq/Iran, he wants to destabilize Pakistan even further, he wants to dramatically reduce Western presence in the Middle East. Sounds a lot like Bin Laden to me. He is at best an Islamist sympathizer, and possibly a lot worse.

    "Holy Roller" ..... you are FAR from holy. You sound like the evil one. You sound like a KKK person trying to convince people that you are religious. America does not need your kind.

    • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 02/07/2008 11:28:48 AM

      You could not be further from the truth. Is his name B.Hussein Obaba or not? Is he muslim? I'm not sure and neither are you. He is at best a radical muslim sympathizer. Look at his so called "church". Does he want a civil war in Pakistan? I believe so. Does he want a vacuum in the Iran/Iraq situation. I'm pretty sure he does. Is he a YouTube one hit wonder. I'm certain. And there are VERY FEW practicing muslims that are against the anti-western views of the Islamists. Mohammed was demon possesed and helped his devils create an evil "religion". NO MOHAMMEDS!!! America will backe up my comments.

      • Posted By: skifan @ 02/07/2008 1:32:13 PM

        You ask if his name is B. Hussein Obaba. The answer is no it is not. His name is Barack Hussein OBAMA. If you can't even get his name right why should we believe anything else you have to say?

    I'm sure Obama has strong ethics but that is by far not the only quality for a president.
    You cult members are backing a candidate on one or two traits. Get over your emotional high and start thinking like a human being.
    From watching the debates, along with his reactions to other things, it's obvious he is immature and inexperienced. He will embarras this nation, especially in dealing with other countries.
    And the endorsements are just clinton haters, so they have no substance either. They are not actually endorsing HIM they are against HER.
    The mind is a terrible thing to waste people. Use it.

    • Posted By: sisi @ 02/07/2008 6:14:20 PM

      The mind is terrible thing to waste? How about using YOUR mind and brushing up on those spelling skills? The word "embarrass" is spelled with double "s". Names of people are capitalized and, therefore, the name "Clinton" is spelled with an upper case "C". If you are going to post such self-righteous comments, you might be well-served to proofread those comments first, so as not to "embarrras" yourself. youyourfyoursselyourself.

    I have been told by several hard core republicans that they want Obama and if he wins the nomination, they will be voting for him. However, they also tell me that if its Hillary, they will vote for McCain. I think many see Obama as a breath of fresh air and an optomistic future. Hillary and McCain are mired in the past and their views are products of the times they lived. They both have more experience but sometimes that is a handicap. I think many of us in this country Dems and Reps alike are tired of bickering amongst ourselves. Many Dems aren't happy about abortion and many Reps actually care about the environment and the poor. We aren't as divided as we have been led to believe. We can work together.

    During the 19th Century another great added this important ending in a speech regarding a battle in a war that would unite this country "-- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Obama says he wants change but knows and freely admits that this something alone that he can not do-must not do. So therefore like Abraham Lincoln, freely admits in fact promotes that this country must be run by the people, and Obama is indeed the voice of the people and there cry for unity and change.

  • Posted By: Gayront79 @ 02/07/2008 10:50:20 AM

    I am surprised to see that Obama is continuing to be reporteded by the media as this god or something. I thought he was gonna take CAL. by 13 points in the last poll before Feb. 5. I am thinking that this so called surge is something that the media is trying to make. It is and will not work. We know nothing about Obama due to the lack of News Coverage on him. This is unheard of, you know the Republican machine will make sure his record is known to us all.

  • Posted By: Baggadonutz @ 02/07/2008 3:40:31 AM

    I can't take it anymore, I feel like half of our government officials are really aliens in human form taking over our country slowly, They use minded numbing brain waves to control peoples thoughts and actions, yes I am talking Liberals and fake Conservatives in Washington. Hell a woman can fake a sob, spew out some sensitive sounding crap and get women to show up in droves to vote to save her. Or a man can say the word CHANGE and people flock to him as if he was god and then his followers are now considered Obamacans or Obamacrats. Or an old guy who admits he is not economically savvy and also tries to push through bill to allow all illegals amnesty behind the citizens backs, even though the polls say the #1 concern is the economy and #2 is ILLEGAL immigration but they still vote for this guy I don't understand it, it makes absolutely no sense at all, that is why my only resort is to trust in my alien theory. Hey, maybe I should invent a Anti-alien brain wave helmet to protect people from this, then maybe people would be able to use their brain when it comes to voting for someone, rather then if they like how the person talks, or how they look. One more thing I noticed at the end of this article,it says McCain promised not to tape ads against Obama if he is the nominee, yeah ok John lets see if you stick with that when you find yourself getting crushed by both his followers and the Conservatives who stay home because they know you are not what you say you are.(STUDY THE FACTS-DON'T RELY ON EMPTY PROMISES THAT NEVER COME TRUE)-------GOD HELP US

    I can only hope that people will think for themselves. Hillary/Clinton haters need to stop poisoning the minds of people. Obama is good but like it or not, Hillary Clinton will make the best President for now to clean up the mess that the Bush administration has gotten us in. Besides I keep hearing the chant of change, what better example of change than having our first woman president. Let???s see what a woman can do.

    • Posted By: Vikewilf @ 02/07/2008 1:00:09 AM

      It's not about letting us see what a woman can do, it's not letting the same people get back to business as usual. Hillary Clinton has been part of the Washington Squad for a while, we do not want the same hum drum.. HELLO??.. is any body home... Do your research. Please go to the Library...

  • Posted By: Vikewilf @ 02/07/2008 12:31:44 AM

    This is for all those individuals who are trapped by their own ignorance. You have to take time out from your Boring experience called life to go look at the events of today and how they are affecting the society as a whole; unless ofcourse you live in a vacuum which I believe most of you who are talking nonsense about OBAMA do live in a Vacuum. I can bet that No one who is against OBAMA has any desire to see change from the way America is today. If you don't vote for OBAMA, you or someone you love will be shipped out to Iraq to fight and die for Nothing. Hillary Clinton is like the Republicans she is going to face in November, she has the lobbyist money. OBAMA does not. OBAMA can defend himself against any Republican "Swift Boat" campaign of smear and Mud slinging. He OBAMA is too big for Mug slinging.. So for you all pundits, get a Fresh take on Life, This is a new down, It's our time... Get with It..

    With Hillary we are getting the same old ,very old political body party in the White-House, I would say no,and let her show us that she can take care of Bill his cigar habit,and that will take all her time.,so she is out of the picture.
    With John Macain we will have like he said himself another 100 years of so war, this means your children and grandshildren will have to fight and pay for this insane situation we are in right now thanks to the Bush administration. IS THAT WAT YOU WANT ????? Fighting for the big money hungry business???
    Give your sons and doughters for what ??? This has been enough, as an old ex WWII veteran I say stop this now..and vote Obama!!!!
    Obama is an young man with new ideas what this country badly needs, we have to change and he can get it done with a lot of help from our young and some older man in his new administration,this has to work ,we have to start all over again to get this country back on track and it won't come easy ,the country is in on his knees right now and we have to fight our way back.Give Obama you'r vote,Go for that total change,there is no other way out,a patch up won't work. Bless the USA , an old man thinking about our young generation.

    The Clintons had their chance. They need to really sit back and enjoy the show. Obama is here to make history, as well as clean up a lot of issues that HE CAN ONLY RESOLVE. GO OBAMA!! ONE NATION UNDER GOD BABY!!

      I cannot vote since I am not a citizen but I have been here long enough to have an opinion. So here it is: I am educated and am not terribly white and a very strong Democrat. I am very worried that there are too many Democrats that were disillusioned by the Clintons and not very fond of Hillary Clinton. In Michigan I was very concerned about the fact that even though she was the only candidate in the ballot a lot of people still either chose to vote uncommited or did not vote at all. In november I think if she wins a lot of those people if not all of them will vote Republican. Think! even the core Republicans donot like McCain. That should tell everyone here that McCain is actually very close to the middle than Clinton. For Democrats to be effective they need a candidate with clean hands to actually convience the rest of the people on the fance that the country can come togather. Otherwise everything is going to be politics as usual and all the work that was done to get the young involved will be for nothing. It is a great country and I am very fortunate have been part of it in the last 20 years. VIVA USA.

    My heart embraces Hillary Clinton and I would love her to become president. But! Just the thought of Bill Clinton who is known to a lot of us as Slick Willie, will be going right back into the white house with his wife. Therefore let???s not be naïve, it will only be business as usually with him; which we as a people don???t need as we fight and struggle to go into the future. Bill want have total influence over his wife in the white house, but he will have 20% influences over her in having his way. And to be perfectly honest, she owes him that much sense he worked his but off in her campaign. And she must show that loyalty back to her husband even if she resist, because a favor deserves a favor all over the world. And Bill has call a lot of his markers in to help support his wife, and those who owe Bill favors when he was President, had to show him loyalty and return the favor they owe him. That???s the political machine we???re trying to break away from, because our children and grandchildren don???t owe nobody nothing. Free this next generation from the hands of old tomb stones. Let us go, please let this young generation that you love! Let us go. You only got to be young at mind to see and understand my point.

    Part two:

    I do not think we will have another opportunity in a while for a woman of the caliber to run for office again. I see a red flag. I think it is no coincidence that Obama has raised more money than he could imagine, I believe it is money coming from contributors who can donate just enough to stay under the radar (not donating large enough to have to file papers) and these contributors are that of republican supporters who want Obama as the Democrats nominee with the notion that he will not beat the republican nominee. They hate the Clintons so much that they are willing to support Obama, because they know if Hillary wins the Democratic Nomination, they will have a hard time beating her. I am fearful that should Obama loose the nomination and it is Clinton, many of his supporters are either going to stay at home and not vote at all or outright vote republican and we will certainly have another republican and a gun ho one at that (McCain) So while the excuses for not voting for Obama maybe valid, I think it has allot about voting one???s conscience. Granted Should Obama get the nomination from the party, you can bet all your money "I will support him???hands down!"
