    What the Obama troglodytes can't fathom is that you can't run for president and be anti-establishment. The President is leader of the establishment, and the american people see that as a position of protecting the US and it's establishment. Because the US has established the entire world, and it works.

    In another 4 years, we will have forgotten about Iraq and Afghanistan, and moved on. Can anyone remember our conflict in Kosovo and Serbia? How we were doomed to an endless unwinnable war there also?

    For the Bush family, destruction of endless communism, establishment of democracies in south america, eastern europe, and now the blunting of 1600 years of Jihadist holy war. Not bad for 16 years.

    It seems obvious to me that the Obama troglodytes don't understand America.

    The American people believe you can't lead a government you have spent most of your life disparaging and trying to be the alternative to. All the anti-war, anti-establishment rhetoric sounds great when you are running against another anti-whatever candidate, but when you run to be the leader of the establishment, it does not make sense to vote for the anti-establishment candidate. At some point, you have to be "the man".

    SO, the american people have to choose between a 30 year senate veteran, or a 1.5 year senator. Who would YOU pick to lead the establishment? And the primary job of a LEADER? To pick a young, vigorous replacement. Sarah Palin will learn from McCAIN, and be president for 8 years.

    I just don't understand why in this publication it would state that not voting for Obama would be racist. I see it totally different. I see Obama as a man who just happens to be black. I will choose to vote for him not because of his color but what he stands for. I have never seen so many newspapers, magizines and journalist oozy over a man. It is so one sided. That to me is rasict. He doesn't need this. You must not think that Obama can do it on his own. That is a real shame. Let him stand as a man just like McCain and let the best man win.

CAMPAIGN 2008
Finding His Faith

So much has been made about Barack Obama's religion. But what does he believe, and how did he arrive at those beliefs?
