Let the Second-Guessing Begin!

The devil who can really hang US would be a President who can sell voters a sugar-coated rope. Obama has shown that he can take punches without losing his cool. What is underneath this thick layer of sugar? Can we take the risk to elect a quasi-terminator who may be programmed to be cool and licensed to kill? Bottom line: Obama has the responsibility to show that there is not a latent Wright virus tangled in his genome.

In response to pixiepunks earlier post....If you are going to talk about the Rev. Wright issue and claim that the Clintons don't have skeletons in their closet you night want to do some homework. Have you ever heard of WHitewater, Vince Foster, KAthleen WIlley, Paula jones, Jim and Susan McDougal, Marc Rich and the other questionable pardons. These are just a few of the MANY issues that come with the Clintons.

I could care less about Bill Clinton's sexism. Hillary is an awful presidential candidate. That's the problem, not that she's a woman, or a Clinton, or not black. It's so obvious from their arguments that a large segment of Clinton supporters are more interested in how Hillary resembles them than any other concern which fits the typical boomer self-entitlement complex. Thank you first-wave feminists for making it possible for our women to become the leaders and managers that many of them are today. Now be gracious parents and step out of the way please. Thanks to your efforts the new kids are smarter and more thoughtful than to could have ever hoped to be and you are unfortunately too stupid and muleheaded to realize it.

I'm a white, mid 30's, well educated male. I put myself through school with help from the VA (disabled veteran as well) and I am so FRIGGEN TIRED of getting the RACIST or SEXIST card thrown in my face. I can't stand it. When will people take responsability for their own actions. FACT: four generations ago neither Hillary or Barack would even be in a position to try for the presidency. So, facts are, there is a LOT LESS racism or sexism than you think. I would even say that it is almost the reverse of four generations ago where 1/5 where not racist or sexist. Now, 1/5 are (not hard numbers so don't quote me on them). Every one of my friends be they white, asian, hispanic, middle eastern, black or female is voting for OBAMA. You know, I face so much reverse discrimination from all races and women EVERY DAY, I think it is hillarious that this is even an issue.

Has anyone stopped to think that people are just exhausted and want to eliminate the complexity in government? We just want to know that when someone is saying something that it is what it is. No 'inflating' the truth no more 'disillusion' no more 'augmentations of details' just the truth. I agree with Gnomic, I wanted to see Hillary and Bill back in office in 06', but they joined the dark side [Darth Vader Reference...gotta love em.]. It's quite sad actually because if you read about the Clintons when they were younger you can see that two idealistic people with good hearts were taken into Washington and transformed to a shell of what they once were. Kinda reminds one of a drug addict. They can't see what they've become until they look at the pictures of themself before drugs years later. Perhaps Hillary should try to get back to basics and give it another run in 2016. Maybe then after Obama cleans things up and brings a little bit of integrity and transparancy back to government she will be able to govern like she once dreamed of as a young person.

He did not win ... they gave it to him ... big difference.

For me the main reason Obama won is because of his sincere message of hope and change. As I heard a radio station d-jay put it, Obama will heal this country that Bush made sick. ...or something like that. I was so hopeful that he would win, i cried when he won. And I am a white, 47, female. I don't think it was a gender or race thing all. The reason he won is because he is the real thing, and he is not arrogant. He shows his respect for the Clintons, for McCain when they are just awful to him. I wouldn't pick her as a running mate. He will get a demanding vp who wants to run the show along with Bill. And Obama is all about change. She was just so wrong in not conceding the night he won. Such arrogance.

Observers beyond the shores of the "United-States" of America are watching. We'll see if this great country will answer true to her name at least for a first time. I read comments by some people and all i can do is shake my head. No wonder the "United States" is struggling as a world leader, a position it once enjoyed without rivalry for decades dating back to the end of WWII. A golden opportunity is here to take your position. Vote for candidate of choice based strictly on issues that affect everyday man: the economy, helth care, jobs, security PLEASE!!!. We are watching.

Just two things... First, if Obama can run this country the way he has his campaign, there is hope. Folks who want to slight his experience...well, experience at what? being a politician? I like him the way he is. Second, please don't take this wrong media-folks, but you really need to stop pigeon-holing voters. I'm a middle-aged white woman that never went to college, grew up in the south, and have been an Obama supporter all along....some of us can read, and do... just an fyi on that.
