    If you want to know what Amtrak is about, don't take the train to Boston from D.C., but to White Fish, MT from D.C. If you've made the Boston trip, you'll think you're in a third world country on the way to Montana. You'll arrive in Martinsburg, WV at least 30 minutes late (you can drive it in an hour) and it only gets worse from there. Not bad travel if you've got lots of time on your hands and you can afford to arrive at your destination within 5 hours, plus or minus an hour.

    equal, that does not make us all the same ... and we are forced to live among whoever moves in next door, loud, smelly, intolerant, with barking dogs, thundering stereos, unkept lawns, junk in the yard, you name it ... it is just as wrong for me to have to live next door to some complainer who gripes about my electric guitar and my power tools as to put someone with kids next door who wake me at any hour they want to

    Conspicuous in its absence of all discussions of Obama's religious beliefs is the question of reparations for slavery, which is a foundation of black liberation theology. Why has no one asked the candiate his stance on this?

    Comment: My question is: Why did Barrack Obama pick the Reverend Wright's church?

    Obama picked the Rev. Wright's church because in order to be popular in the Chicago-area black community he needed to be "more black." Now he needs to be "more white." He spent 20 years in the "more black" church and now he is "talking white." Obama's position on any particular issue, including where his family goes to church, depends upon what he thinks he needs currently to benefit his political career. He is sort of wacko left-wing, but he'll change position with the wind if he thinks it will help him -- career-wise. America doesn't need a guy such as this in the Oval Office.

      My question to you is: Why would you vote for someone that sided with Bush 93% of the time? Do you know that Bush has been rated by historians as the worst President of all time? So if you side with him 93% of the time, what does that make you? Are you that well off that you don't care spending $7/gallon on gas and 30%EXTRA on your grocery bill and having your house lose value every day?

        Stop blaming on Bush u are an ignorant freak of all time!

        Elect Obama and your bills will be even higher, along with your taxes. Get a grip. He is against almost every form of advancement in the energy field.

    ... as I was saying, or trying to ... liberals are socialist/communists who have failed to learn from the history so recently played out in China, Russia and now Cuba that communism sounds good on paper, like so many leftists beliefs, but in the real world it simply doesn't work ... as for Michelle, she is right, this is a mean country, with a cookie cutter educational system that tries to treat us all as if we are the same ... we are all

    how refreshing and wonderful it is to hear obama uses his mind and heart to sort through the religious maze, please, no more hard core "christianity" in the white house!!!

    Obama swore in using the kuran in Illinois. I think he is full of hot air and just wants power.

      If you keep reapeating yourself with kuran lie I will report you for abuse, you spammer nut.

    As a Presidential candidate, they will try as hard as possible to keep their religious views and beliefs out of the spotlight. (President Carter made himself perfectly clear on the other hand) If this cannot be done, most candidates will attempt to walk (atop the proverbial picket fence). Hence, most all the "PEOPLE" of our nation, yes, those who are a member of a particular ethnic group, especially belonging to a national group by heritage or culture too; whether their faith is in a god, God, or in themselves ,could give that candidate a fine reception, a fine one indeed!
    Obama's short autobiography of "FINDING HIS FAITH", were both interesting and vague; interesting, because he took a LEAP of FAITH in sharing the (roller coaster ride) that he has experienced up to this point. Did I say, "up to this point"? Due to the (Steven King ending) of this interesting story re his faith, it dropped from interesting to VAGUE; vague meaning, Obama and the writer did not leave us any absolutes re to WHAT PATH does Obama intend to walk on, and in what direction. Obama has been open and my wife and I admire that! Nevertheless, his roller coaster ride continues in short of being sure..."Will America still want me if I...?"

    I am sad to think that Obama does not "know" that eternal life is only through faith in Jesus Christ and is a gift. If you read the Scriptures thoroughtly you will find that Jesus is the only way. He said so Himself. When we stand before the Eternal Judge, we will give an answer to our lives here on earth.

      You are so right, NH Grandma! Blessed be Jesus Christ!

      You are so right NH Grandma! Praise be to Our Lord, Jesus Christ!

      OH please grandma...you better pray that when your time is up, there is a judge there or like I suspect its a wasted life... get ready for worms eating your corps while the church you attended and fed you those lies enjoys the money you gave to them...Hey here is an idea open your mid for the first time in your life and see the real world

    how wonderful and refreshing it is to hear that obama uses his mind and heart and isn't drowned in the dogma of the church, please, no more hard core christianity in the white house!

    Can the obsessed lovefest the press has with this candidate get any worse? Every week there is more worshiping and pandering as the media searches for new ways to profess their love for Barack. The thing is the man is either an empty suit or a complete liar. Pucker up newsweek

    • Posted By: mahada @ 07/13/2008 1:16:45 PM

      Oh please, McCain has said and been involved with so much sleazy stuff and hardly any of it is reported upon by the mainstream press while EVERYTHING Obama says or does is scrutinized. Its hardly a love-fest.

  • Posted By: dumpthedems @ 07/13/2008 1:16:09 PM

    The facts are there folks. Ohmama found his faith 20 years ago. Whether you like it or not it was radicalism/racism. It doesn't take 20 years to realize you were mistaken just because now you want to be president.

    The BIBLE says:I am the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the FATHER but through me. There is only one way to be saved and have eternal life and that is through JESUS.Good works do not save anyone. A Christian does good toward others because he is serving GOD.

    • Posted By: lee226 @ 07/13/2008 1:15:48 PM

      Judy we are not at church.I think Sen Obama being an educated constitutional law individual is very mindful of the role of religion as a personal search and an answer to help solve social problems.
      Truth is that most people who have problems of character, addiction,depression have a spiritual hole in their heart. Every human being needs to believe in something bigger than himself.
      Do not fool yourself when you say I do not believe in God, you cannot deny something that does not exist.
      That is a contradiction.Just go your own merry way and let others follow their journey to spiritual enlightnment..

  • Posted By: ppcgm @ 07/13/2008 1:15:43 PM

    * Then there is Michelle Obama, an angry woman expressing anti-American sentiments that, "life in America is not good, we're a country that is just down right mean . . . We're a country that is guided by fear, We're a nation of cynics, sloths and complacents."
    And your point is ? I won't vote for Obama because he is a liberal and to me, liberals are

    I don't believe one word that comes out of Obama's mouth. He is a POSER, indeed. He mirrored Hillary Clinton in the primaries, and now he mirrors John McCain. Who knows???????

    I still can't believe he may be the DEMOCRATIC nominee.

    • Posted By: xeyeldinTX @ 07/13/2008 1:15:26 PM

      Mirrored HC? His website was up and running with a more specific explanation of his positions long before HC, who scrambled to respond to his momentum after Iowa, ever hoped to be.

    • Posted By: nopartyaffiliation123 @ 07/13/2008 10:45:49 AM

      Start getting used to him being the nominee NOW before it HITS you int he head in November.

        I am with you. I believe him to be a liar.

  • Posted By: bluegirl @ 07/13/2008 1:15:22 PM

    Obama's religious beliefs ! Don't make me laugh... Yeah if being an egocentric lunatic is a religious belief then he is the biggest believer of all times.

  • Posted By: mahada @ 07/13/2008 1:06:13 PM

    People who believe their way is the only way (be they Christian, Muslim or even atheist) only serve to cause more egotistical division than is necessary. I am almost positive that Jesus, Mohammad, or any other number of true profits would be ashamed by the self-entitlement of those who preach such a separative dogma.

    • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 07/13/2008 1:15:03 PM

      Mohammed was no true prophet. Maybe a "profit" as you wrote.

      Mohammed was a pedophile warrior, who with assistance of his "god". a fallen Angel, and the father of all lies, created the big lie, called Islam. They enslaved the, children of Ishmael, and destroyed a great nation and culture. Islam is the only major religion, in history, that embraces a culture of death, and has no redeeming value.

      NOBAMA!!!
