Are You Experienced?

I firmly believe, that there are people out there who do not believe, for one nano second, that African Americans can be patriotic. That's simply not true. I'm VERY patriotic and I'm black and have been all my life. *LOL* I haven't been to a church that spouts stuff like Wright did but I DO belong to a church where the pastor doesn't believe that women should be in the pulpit and that doesn't want whites in his church. Does that mean that I believe in those two things? Yeah, no. I'm a woman first off and that's a load of crap if I've never heard one and I can't believe that someone would preach love and tolerance and then act like that. It's two faced. I haven't been to the church in several years (military) but while I was there I was there and I didn't just leave because of it.

That sounds like Obama's wife. Trying to "change" her image! LOL

Sounds to me like the US Senators don't really DO any work at all but run around all day doing PA crap. No wonder nothing gets done up there. They, of course, have/make the time to give themselves a raise and then break out. *LOL* Anyone ever watch CSPAN and you see over 1/2 of the chairs EMPTY with one lone person talking to a bunch of empty seats and about 10 (and I'm being generous here) people shuffling papers, looking bored as h e l l and others (pages I'm assuming) running around making it look like their doing something? It's tragic. THAT'S why they say Congress doesn't do anything. Take a look. CSPAN is always on.

Now in the STATE legislature, they have to do work. Doesn't matter whether it's for a small constituentcy or not. From what the article says and from what I've seen, the senators do their own leg work and have to cross party lines.

It sounds like to me that Sen. Obama wants THAT type of partisan work done on a larger scale. I wish him luck because hatred is so deeply entrenched in DC that that's probably a reason why nothing ever gets done up there.

Obama '08

Comment: Yes, they turned over the "hunt" for Bin Laden to the Afghan people. How dumb is THAT? They aren't looking too hard for him because he's still releasing tapes and still hasn't been caught. I'd pay someone to tell me that they don't know EXACTLY where he is and just don't give a crap.

They harbored him since his exile from Saudi Arabia. During the Afghan war with the Soviet Union, our country armed Bin Laden and trained his "army" to fight against communists. Then look what happened? He bit the hand the fed him. This is what I'm talking about but see, shhh no one is supposed to know that we actually created Bin Laden, armed him, trained him and helped him dig those caves in the mountains of Afghanastan that we can't "find" him in. Shhhh it's a secret.


And OBAMA wants to have Dialogue with Osama if they find him???? The great negotiator! And we want him for Pres???? NOT!

Good article. Experience is a slippery commodity to measure. We should instead focus on Who is Obama? What are his values? Where are his roots? Who has influced him? Who has his ear now? What has he accomplished?

Newsweek!

Are you going to do an article revealing that Obama and McCain rasied about the same amount in May? Had Obama raised significantly more than McCain, that would have been on the front page.
Perhaps Obama will get a boost if Clinton donors give to him. There are many groups working hard to convince these donors not to donate to Obama. It may or may not work, who knows!

However, I still say that the fact that McCain matched Obama in May is very telling. Now I see why Obama injected that the GOP will play the race card at a fundraiser and why Al Gore asked for donations!

Thanks for the article. It helps to know that some people are still able and willing to seperate between the sheeps. This article should do well to inform those people who are bent on deciding this race solely on experience. And to them I say wouldn't you wanna change course if having tried something for eight years it still doesn't work? Additionally, they should all be reminded that if the current administration is what experience gets you - George Bush was a two-term former governor - then out with experience, and in with CHANGE!

This just shows the inept and uneducated writing by Newsweek reporters. This is the stupidest rationalization I have ever heard. Why not just say Obama is an idiot but we support him anyway.

The Many "Quotes" of Barack Obama

"I don't think my church is particularly controversial."

Rev. Wright is "like an old uncle who sometimes says things I don't agree with."

"The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."

"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites"

"never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself..".

"I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations."

"The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam."

"...I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."

"I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator."

"I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying."

"You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt."

FlaLady: I can tell that you are angry. Remember that the Clintonites responded to Obama with anger and derision. See where that got them. If Republicans are viewed as "bitter, gun toting and Bible clinging" then McCain will loose.

Police officers in Portland, Oregon, are still waiting for an apology from Barack Obama after campaign staffers of his recent rally in Portland, Oregon, setup porta potties directly on top of the Portland Police Memorial, which honors the agency???s 25 fallen police officers.

The Obama rally drew a crowd of over 75,000 people.



Officer Thomas Brennan, who was working overtime at the rally, took a picture of the offending toilets, with the American flag still at half mast because of Police Officers Memorial Day, directly behind them. The local law enforcement memorial service had been held at the site only five days earlier.



Despite a large amount of open areas in the vicinity, the campaign staffers claimed the toilets were placed on the memorial for safety reasons to accommodate wheelchair access.



At a time when Law Enforcement Officers are losing their lives in the line of duty on a daily basis, the Obama campaign shows NO SYMPATHY! Barack is ANTI LAW ENFORCEMENT! That is proven in his voting record. He votes for laws to protect the criminal more than for the police officer or law abiding citizen! The Obama campaign has not responded to requests for an apology.

Experience is indispensable and not only for a President but also for a Journalist. Please!!!!!! choose someone to replace Tim Russert, who is not only experienced, but decent and with integrity. Mathews and Olbermann are 2 of the worst journalist ever!!!

As far as a future President, the only one with experience, integrity, loved by everyone around the world, there
is no one like Hillary Clinton; of all the candidates she is the only one capable of bringing this country out of the horrendous hole it is in.

ANOTHER GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

From Rasmussen's Daily:

"Currently, Obama and McCain are essentially even among men while Obama leads by 12% among women. McCain leads 49% to 42% among White Voters but trails 93% to 3% among African-American voters. Among voters who see economic issues as most important this year, Obama leads 59% to 32%."

"The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Obama leading in states with 200 Electoral College votes while McCain leads in states with 174 votes. When leaners are included, it???s Obama 284, McCain 240. "

Stay tuned for the Gallup Poll Update....

THIS MAY BE A BLOWOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
