‘I Am a Big Believer in Not Just Words, But Deeds and Works’

you complete idiot, you don't even know what racism is and how can the oppressed be racist,t hey can have justified and unjustified prejudice, but any way you wouldn't know anything about that b/c as a white american, you don't ever have to think about things lke that. you just don't get why a man of pastor wright age would be be that resentful and I bet you never took the time to view the WHOLE video, b.c if you did you wold find out that it was not what it seemd, but wait you don't work off facts, you work of ignorance and that is why people like you voted for bush and that is why we are in this mess, we should blame voters like you!! DUMBASS, when you start working off facts then maybe your stupid opinions might, may be might be heard!!! NOT!!!

Talk about the issues. You probably are not going to vote for him anyway. You just need an excuse not to vote for him. You look at his pastor and other things beside the issues. Let's get on with affordable health care, home foreclosures, job loss, and proper care of our veterans. You say he's a racist. What's interesting to me you only see his black skin color. Yet he is half white and half black. How can you call him a racist when he comes from both sides. He's experienced both sides. My question is what side are you looking from. Chech yourself .

Sarra Sow, he is definitely NOT a Christian, and he is most likely simply faking that he is one. The first tenet of Christianity, essential for anyone to ever become a born-again Christian, is that Christ is the ONLY way to God. Jesus Christ Himself said that. And Obama denies that, saying that there are many ways to God.

Amen! His votes speak for themself, as they are against Christians values such as abortion and gays. Then when he said that the middle class "hides behind their religion" That! was a "slap" on the face of every Christian in America. I have a foundation IN my religion, but I do not hide behind it. I proclaim it!!!!because I believe and have seen what Christ can do in many peoples lives. So Obama does not get it. He is still searching... and poltically, I believe he is only searching for the right words to "placate" the Christian Conservatives/Evangelicals of America. I personally believe that if he is not "scripturally sound" on a foundation of Christianity, he cannot do well in the office of the presidency. Bush, claimed his Christianity and has done some really good things(Aids to Africa, liberating Afghanistan, faith-based programs, spreading democracy and others. No, I don't agree with everything Bush did, but he is not the "monster" everyone makes him out be. History will show that.

Americans deserve to know the truth about oil and gasoline prices and where the fault lies.

Price of oil when Bush took office - $29

Price of oil when democrats took over Congress - $51

Price of oil today, July 11, 2008 - $145

Price of gasoline when Bush took office - $1.60

Price of gasoline when Democrats took over Congress - $2.34

Price of gasoline today, July 11, 2008 - $4.30

During the first 58 months of Bush's term in office, the price of a barrel of oil increased by $22 and a gallon of gasoline increased by $0.64! In the last 20 months of Bush's term in office, since the Democrats took control of Congress, the price of a barrel of oil increased by $94 and a gallon of gasoline increased by $1.96.

Now, who do you think is more responsible for gasoline prices being so high? Let me clue you in! Speculators are accused of being responsible for high oil prices. But, why would they be blamed? Their intelligence tells them that increased US oil drilling will never be allowed under a Democrat controlled Congress and our dependency on foreign crude will continue to rise. They are not stupid!!

Some ignorant Americans are going around saying that oil companies are not drilling on millions of acres that they have leased. That is a lie!! They are drilling dry hole after dry hole. There is not much oil there to be found. The oil companies know where the oil is and where it would be profitable to drill. Why are we telling them where to drill and where not to drill? Because our Congress contains a bunch of elite politicians that can afford high gas prices since the tax payers pay their expenses.

Congress needs to act on legislation immediately to open up offshore drilling and ANWR drilling. This Congress is killing the American people. Their approval rating is down to 9% and if anymore Democrats are elected, it could go to 0%. If the U.S. commits to using our own resources rather than depending on foreign countries, the price of oil would drop immediately! OPEC cannot afford to lose a big spender like the U.S.! The LOUD AND PROUD AMERICANS need to take action immediately and persuade Congress to get off their hands and accomplish something to help the American people now and in the future.

The Republicans passed an energy bill and Clinton vetoed it. Clinton said that it would take ten years to get the oil to the market. That was twelve years ago and look where we are today. Sound familiar?

Ignorant American people. A good candidate changes their position based on experience and present conditions and not on a whelm or for political expediency. Experience takes many weeks, months and years and must be thoroughly analyzed before you decide to change your mind on important issues. Changing your mind in just a few hours or a few days is called flip flopping and that is an appropriate name for it. We need a president that examines history and past practices very carefully before he changes his mind and changes policy for this country. We don't need someone that flows with the tide and looks at polls to make decisions. Yes, we need someone that listens to the people, but in some cases, based on information that can't be made public, the president must use his/her good judgement.

Obama is controlled and told what to say and where he stands on a particular issue by his election staff. These people determine what the public wants to hear or where the other candidate stands on an issue, and then tells Obama what to say to the voters. Obama reads directly from a teleprompter most of the time and says exactly what his staff has come up with. He sounds like a great politician, but in fact he is just a robot with a lot of shrewd politicians behind him who have created a new political figure. Don't get caught up in their rhetoric and make an important decision that you will REGRET for the rest of your life.

Wouldn't that mean that Obama makes a better used car salesman than McCain?

Good comment, lori.
