    No doubt Obama has alot of work to do to get a decent percentage of the older southern white vote. The task is probably equal to Mccain's chances of getting some of the black vote in the south or elsewhere.No matter how much political analysis is published; this is still a contest between a black man and a white one in most of the country. In Republican states it is foolish to bet on black. The split between older voters for McCain and the younger, Obama voters has been explained as change vs. status quo; as experience vs inexperience ; as liberal vs conservative; and as patriot vs alien. These explanations are tangents of the real black vs white issue that matters most. Neither Obama or McCain can change the basic attitudes among voters. Both candidates will win where they should, and lose where they should. In the end that means McCain will win.

    Baracl Obama isn't considered a U.S. citizen. How can he even run? Although his mother was a native to Hawaii she was 18 yrs old when he was born. And althougth she occupied a home in the U.S. 10 years prior to his birth 18 is not a legal age and therefore Barak Obama is not considered a citizen. If his mother was 21 at the time of his birth then he would be a legal citizen.. What's going on?

    Something the media continues to ignore:

    Obama = Close friend of Reverand Wright
    Rev. Wright = Close friend of Louis Farrakhan
    Louis Farrakhan = Close friend of Iran's President
    ....Birds of a Feather, folks.

    These are the people who will influence the White House.

    Translation?
    Obama spells the destruction of Israel.....War in the Middle east far greater than Iraq.....and this poor rookie won't even intend to do it.

      You left out Kevin Bacon, we are playing six degrees of Keven Bacon, right?

      Of course with McCain, you do not have to go through a friend of a friend of a friend to make a connection to someone who almost destroyed America.

      McCain= Close Friend of Charles Keating, Savings and Loan Crisis
      McCain= Close Friend of Phil Gramm, policies directly led to the Enron scandal.

    Remember, this is the SAME nation that re-elected an unpopular George W. Bush only 3 1/2 years ago during an unpopular war. Also remember that John Kerry led Bush 51%-44% in July....and he lost. - And guess what folks. It is now at only 46%-44%....the Obama Fever Gap is wearing off fast.

    Translation: John McCain will win this election.

      George Bush's popularity were in the mid sixties and the war in Iraq was still popular as well.

    Obama benefits from an economic crisis dovetailing with the election. Until McCain can sufficiently express how he will change things for the better, Obama, representing change, will have a good shot at states like Virginia. Even if his lack of experience and time in the spotlight make the type of change Obama will bring unclear, the fact thatt he brings change at all may be enough to Virginia blue.

      McCain has already made a difference, effected change, made government better as a result of his tireless work to end earmarks, something Obama has tapped into to pay off his political cronies and corporate fundraisers.

      Obama only talks about change, in actuality he represents old school Chicago style pay to play politics.

      • Posted By: raddave @ 08/04/2008 9:02:53 PM

        Yeah McCain effected change in Government, his close assosication with Charles Keating amost destroyed the Savings and Loan industry.

      800 construction workers were just laid Friday in Las Vegas alone. Unemployment is at it's highest level in decades. The next President will inherit a massive debt. This country will not be able to go through another 4 years of GOP policies.

      • Posted By: Mary McCurry @ 08/03/2008 11:01:22 PM

        Unemployment rate shot up because Congress approved and half time extension to everyone who qualified since mid 2006. First rush of applications started a few weeks ago providing Dems with a statistical tool to use as ammunition. Nothing actually changed in unemployment. Unemployment stats have NEVER revealed reality about our economy. And despite all the press hype we are not and have not been in a recession by any economists definition. Wait t'il November and watch the Market skyrocket. It's an historically predictable event every four years.
        I propose giving everyone a million dollars on my second day of office. My first day will be busy ending the war. Third day you can all have heart attack near your local free hospital which will open right after I cut the ribbon and red tape. I will insist that the Fed Gov cut its wastefull size by three quarters and then hire all the currently unemployed and start new programs to train and them and relocate them and their families to Washington. This might take a little time so please be patient. I might get to unifying the Middle East and bringing Israel, Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Lebonen and Saudia Arabia into a new United Arab-Jewish-Christian state of Islam head by President Chavez whose term in Venezuela will end freeing him to take on this bipartisan position of leadership. By the end of my first six months as President our immigration laws will all be repealed as unnecessary as 90% of our immigrants, legal and illegal, will have voluntarily left our nation and no one will want to come in. .....With your vote I can change anything to be anything you want me to be. (Just practicing for my new job as a B.O. speech writer ;)

          Thanks for the real deal on the unemployment increase. The average American does not understand how much Congress affects the economy or how the rest of the world effects it ,for that matter. Loved the sarcasm-funny as he**!

          • Posted By: Inaru @ 08/04/2008 6:46:53 AM

            No thanks earned for any "real deal". Here's real deal: govt started counting all active military personnel as employees when unemployment rates last reached the heights, and govt counts people who ended up working part-time instead of full-time, and it does not count people who took pay cuts, or people who gave up when their skills are out of demand and no skills-training is available that works. Sarcasm, like satire, is only really funny when based on some facts. Ain't it funny how the same words from Obama work on some people? Some here him say we have to sacrifice and claim he's a socialist, others hear him say though it will be hard, things will get better, and they say he's a pollyanna. It's like the people who claim he's a secret Muslim who had an America-hating (ex-Marine who was anesthesiologist for Pres. Johnson btw) Christian pastor. Accept that this mixed-race Christian man loves this country and cares about people just like you, while McCain cares about multimillionaires just like him. You think this Admiral's son who ditched his disabled wife/mother of his child for a beer heiress cares about you?

            • Posted By: SPIRITED AWAY @ 08/04/2008 12:07:53 PM

              I respect your opinion. But, I disagree. It seems the Obama supporters are completely blinded by their adoration of him. Obama says whatever is necessary depending on what group he is speaking with. Big Mac might be old; but I can assure you that he will make Obama look very small and illogical come debate time. Until then, it's war so to speak.

  • Posted By: proudtobeTEXAN @ 08/03/2008 5:10:59 PM

    Obama refuses to wear a symbol of the United States...won't salute the American flag...says he is a "world" citizen, not an American citizen...his wife has said she has not been proud of her country in all her adult life...has painted over the American flag on his plane...ummm...I could go on and on. If you think that all Texans are sitting around in their trailer houses with ignorant bumper stickers on their pick-ups...then you are just showing how utterly ignorant you are. I live in a state where there are almost as many illegal immigrants as there are legal citizens and I don't think we should have to learn Spanish (as your man Obama thinks) just to do business with these illegals. I actually had a man tell one of my co-workers that I needed to learn Spanish so that I would know what he wanted...he's in MY country...I'm not in his. Wake up people...this is America!

    • Posted By: bigfoot46_05 @ 08/03/2008 5:45:31 PM

      Texan; Do you watch tv? He is wearing the pin. When was the last time you saw McShame wear a pin? Does this mean he isnot patriotic? When did he refuse to salute the flag? You are listeneing to the Republican hacks. He never refused to salutre the flag. Ronald Regan was the first president to use the term "World Citizen" does that make him unpatriotic? I think his wife has more then explained her meaning of that statement. As far as the illegals I agree they don't belong here. But what do you do with the ones who have been fighting the two wars we're engaged in? Say thank you and send them home?

            5% of the U.S. armed forces are not U.S. citizens, that doesn't mean that they are all illegal immigrants. An illegal immigrant is not able to join the military.

      • Posted By: wgoin @ 08/03/2008 5:52:22 PM

        To Texan: You pick and choose the truth. While Obama had two American flags painted over on hiis plane it was strictly because they were part of the North American Airlines logo and he was required to remove the logo in order to use the plane. He left intact the flag opposite the registration numbers because it was not part of the logo. He does salute the flag - what lies are you trying to spread. His wife did not say she has not been proud of this country for all of her adult life - her comment was reflective of the politics and she said she was now proud of this country in the political arena. And, as far as immigrants goes - Obama and McCain both supported the same bill on immigration. Do your homework or you will continue to sound like a wild man ranting because he is afraid of someone new.

I feel very sorry for you because you are so blind as to not seeing what a total fraud Obama is. You need tol view the following website, http://www.atlah.org:80/broadcast/ndnr07-28-08.html
          and then tell me what you think of Obama.

          • Posted By: Twhit1007 @ 08/03/2008 8:04:16 PM

            Hahahaha...man that video was funnier than that Dr. Horrible crap that everyone is into. If you would like a good laugh and want to waste 10 minutes of your life listening to the Honorable Jim Crow spew his lies then please click that link. Otherwise, I'll save you some time and sum up some of his "best" points in the video:
            1) "Obama can not be stopped by comparing policies to policies. He can not be stopped by comparing his experience to Sen. John McCain???s experience." I agree! Because Obama's policies are better for this country and John McCain's experience is not what is needed at this time, it is the judgment of Obama that is needed.
            2)He wants you to boycott CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS, Oprah, the New York Times, NAACP. Go right ahead, but wouldn't it be better for us as a country to boycott something else like...hmmm...big oil.
            3)He says Obama is a fascist (this label actually requires him to be a dictator and Bush has been the closest thing to a dictator that this country has seen in a looong time) , he calls him a socialist (funny I didn't ever hear Obama saying that he wants the state to completely control production and the economy). Man, this guy needs a dictionary.
            4) He will make all white people pay for slavery. I can't even respond to this one without laughing my ass off.
            5)He will be sworn in on the Koran and he is a muslim. Wow, this ignorantly false non-issue is still floating out there in the toilet that is the internet.

            6)Obama is destroying the work of Dr. King, and other historical African-Americans who fought for civil rights. Obama becoming the president would actually be a major step in realizing Dr. King's dream. Only in some chaotically twisted mind can the election of a minority to the highest office be destroying the ideals of someone who fought for the right of that same minority to actually have a chance to be elected to that office.
            7)He compares Obama to Hitler, because they both spoke before a crowd in Germany. He says it is the same speech, the same man, and the same spirit. All I can say is WOW, and can I have the drugs this guy is taking.

            Here is one thing I kind of agree with: The boycott on all of the institutions listed in point # 2 "is the only weapon we have left". Yes, because all of your other "weapons" have been seen for what they are and rightfully ignored by a smarter public than you may have suspected.

            The best part of the video sadly comes at the end where he says that Obama supporters would still vote for him even if he was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre???guy??? ( I believe you mean Leatherface).

            Oh, he says that Dr. King put the issue of slavery to rest. So did King also put inequality to rest? Have you even read or listened to Dr. King. Or am I to believe that you must already have because you are a black man who supossedly preaches the word of God.
            Wow Joe, thanks for making me laugh today. I like Obama even more now!!

            Enter Your CommentJoe Rocks, if I read one more comment about some website that bashes Obama that is written by some idiot who doesn't like him anyway, I will throw up. Stay away from soap operas. Those people don't know him anymore than you. It's like Tim Russert said, God Bless Him, an old man said he didn't like Obama because of his association with Reverend Wright and then he said he didn't like him because he was a Muslim. Tim Russert told the old man, that he couldn't have it both ways. Either Obama is a christian or a Muslim. Just goes to show you how gullible a lot of people are. Obam would not have come THIS FAR if any other those things were true. I am sure that all those people in Washington who have known him for a long time would let him get this far if the things most of you say about him.

You think your deceit will change people's minds. Those with minds will not be detered by the likes of you. The constant ignorant reference to kool-aid shows how little education and common sense you have. Many of us have paid very close attention to both candidates and have made our choice based on the plans and policies of both candidates. Since you cannot digest information, you have made your decision based on fear and lies. I pity you.

      1. proudtobeTEXAN give me a break! Does John McCain wear a flag pin? NO Do you?
      2. In the footage of Barack Obama not saluting the flag, the Pledge of Allegience was not being played
      3. He said he was a 'Citizen of the World" just as, whats that guys name oh yeah Ronald Reagan said. Oh by the way he also said in that same speech he was a proud America, I guess you didn't hear that!
      4. What she said was it was the first time in her adult life she was really proud of her country, because millions of people were actually engaging in the political process as never before
      5. The plane did not come with an American Flag painted on it, he had it put there. Now he ha changed the motiff. Do you know what John McCain has on the tail of his plane? johnmccain.com. how but there is a small flag logo
      6. We should not only learn how to speak Spanish but we should also learn other languages. We are so far behind the times at being able to compete glbally, its pathethic. Get your head out of your rear and actullay think. It is imperitive for our own security and global stability that we learn other languages and fast, the world is changing and these rich Republicans are selling us off as quickly as they can to make a buck. And you want to criticize this man for wanting better for our country. You need to stop reading those ridiculous lie filled blogs, Rush Linbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O and get a clue as to what is really going on.

        Ms Natchez, I profoundly Thank you for writing my reply. If he were a real business man, he would learn as many languages as he could. Texan saying that this is his country most likely bases on him being white and anybody else of any other color is not an American is exactly why I can relate to what Michele said. See, I was one of four in an all white school and after all the abuse that we four blacks received, I truly know what she and Reverend Wright's message is. It is a true message because there are others who try to take your rights from you eventhough we ALL fight for the freedom of this country. Even the spanish people. Texas man shows the true ignorance that some still have in this country.

      Obama does wear the symbol of the U.S. Since Obama is not in the military he does not salute the flag, but does put his hand over his heart. Obama said in Berlin. "I come to you as a proud citizen of the United States and a fellow citizen of the world." McCain's plane has also had the flag painted over. go here and you can see a picture of John McCain's plane. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/airplane.asp so I guess McCain is also Unpatriotic?

      Calling McCain Racist?...He didn't go to The Trinity Church of Hell for 20 yrs and study Nation of Islam and Black Liberation racist doctrine. Calling McCain a hot-head?,,,take that over the silly little sissy Hussein any day.....Calling McCain a womanizer?...He has been married to Cindy for nearly 3 decades and Sen Hussein is accused of being, an adulterous brother on the down-low. I believe it... Calling McCain pompous?...Haven't heard of him designing his own Presidential seal...or...trying to make policy decisions abroad...or...placing campaign signs at the Western Wall, in Israel..all pompous arrogant actions to the extreme, and NEVER seen in the history of American politics. AND it is biting Hussein in the ass. 9 point drop in polls in a WEEK. Free falling away.

        It is unfortunate that people such as you feel the need to prove their 'superiority' by attacking others with irrationalities, fallacies, and outright rudeness.
        No one can change what you think if you don't allow your mind to be open to other ideas, but I still must ask as to why you call Barack Hussein Obama by only his middle name? Seems to me like you may have an issue with the Islamic religion and its culture, or perhaps (should i say it) are afraid of it? People are only afraid of things that they do not understand, perhaps a little research could help quell this fear, especially since Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. (Don't worry I'm not a muslim, in fact I don't believe any of that religious stuff, I don't feel the need to be afraid of everything)

        • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 08/03/2008 8:00:47 PM

          I do have a few issues with the death-cult called Islam.....They all go back to a couple if truths. The so-called "god" called Allah....is a Fallen Angel. The so-called prophet...was a pedophile warrior. All the rest go back to these two facts.

            I'm glad to see that you have identified the holes within the Islamic faith, and have acknowledged that there are those within the religion who promote murder and hate. Perhaps you could now let us all know about the gaping holes within the Christian faith as well. Such as its hatred towards women, its promotion of massacring all 'non-believers' (aka heretics), and its general disgust for anyone of the Jewish faith, despite the fact that your "savior" was once a Jew (irony).
            I'm not trying to propagate any one religion; I'm merely pointing out that they are all filled with the same types of problems, sometimes you just have to go back in time to find them =D

It will be fun when all of those religious whackjobs set off some nukes and blow up that entire region, I'm sure Halliburton or one of those other company's would be more than willing to go in and pave over the entire region, make it a nice big glowing parking lot for Europe and Asia.

            You need to read more than the book by Rev. Hagee called Islam for Retards. Allah is not the name of the Islamic God, but the word for God. Even Arabic Christians use the word. The Islamic God is the same God of Abraham, so if he is a fallen angel, the judeism and Christianity worship the same fallen angel.

        A man of honor who admitted to having mutliple affairs while married to his first wife. Who carried on a year long relationship with his current wife before filing for divorce from his first wife. Who courted the endorsement of Rev. Hagee. Who had a close relationship with Charles Keating. Yeah he is a man of honor alright. NOT!!!!

    Folks, here are some facts about Barak Hussein Obama: One-half of his family are Moslems and live today in Africa. These are not relations from a slave ancester 300 years ago, they are his brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. on his father's side of his family. Why do you think there have not been any photo ops with these relatives? One guess should do it. Obama now claims to be a Christian, but we know that his father was a Moslem, his step-father was a Moslem, and he attended a Wahabi Moslem school in Indonesia where his religion was listed as Moslem (Muslim). Obama is an accidental American. His views and attitudes have little or nothing to do with the views and attitudes of most Americans. He is at home with two groups: 1) radicals, some black and some white, who hate America and 2) the white wine sipping, moveon.org/San Francisco/Cambridge liberals, who never saw a welfare plan they didn"t like. Obama does not have enough American-ness to be our president. Europeans loved him. Good, let them elect him. It is doubtful any of the countries who lauded him on his recent trip would want him as their president, but they can't wait to have this weak sister as OUR president.

    • Posted By: raddave @ 08/03/2008 6:34:13 PM

      Yes, half of Obama's family is Muslim. He has never disputed this. Obama NEVER went to a wahabi Muslim school in Indonesia. He went to a public school and a catholic shcool. His views are more in line with America, since 80% think our country is headed in the wrong direction. Obama is not an accidental american, his mother was American and he was born in America, making him an American.

      • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 08/03/2008 6:54:28 PM

        ALL public schools in Indonesia have a mohammed doctrine. He was registered
        muslim" at both schools. His own sister is quoted as saying..."my family was always muslim." His brother "Roy" is a communist leaning mohammed. His "cousin" Odinga in Kenya is aligned with radical muslims, and involved in massacring Christians. His beloved Imam Wright has been revealed to being a member of the Nation of Islam...until he assumed the duties of pastor, of Trinity Church of Hell.

        Is Hussein a muslim??? I know he was earlier in his life. I've not heard of any charges of apostasy...so I conclude...he must be a mohammed in good standing.

        NOBAMA!!!

        • Posted By: raddave @ 08/04/2008 10:19:05 AM

          No public schools in Indonesia are that PUBLIC. Indonesia is not a Muslim State, it has a secular Govt. REV Wright was never a member of the Nation of Islam. Odinga is NOT Obama's cousin. Maybe there have not been charges of apostasy because Obama NEVER was a Muslim.

        • Posted By: Ur2slo4me @ 08/03/2008 10:04:23 PM

          Even if he is a Muslim so what? Holy Roller there is nothing holy about you! Do you even own a Bible and if you do then read with comprehension. If we as christians serve a God of Love then why all the bitterness? Where is the tolerance of religious freedom that this country was founded on? What has happened to this nation? I'll tell you we have lost our way. The nation thats say it is based on christianity finds its self during worship time the most segregated. If you ever get an opportunity to go anywhere you will find that in Islamic nations there are whites, blacks and arabics all of them come together for worship together in their Mosques. The Jews go to synagogue it doesnt matter which one they go to for the synagogue is the same, but in christianity wow. Baptists arent even all the same, catholics are considered christians but their teaching are totally different from the Episcopalian who are also christians. So what if your are different than what I believe. Jeremaih Wright put it like this different is not deficient. So maybe we can have Muslim politicians thats why we have separation of church and State. Dont be uninformed.

      joe, why is it that you and so many people are so concerned about Obama's religious background? Regardless as to what background he may have been raised in, he is now a Christian(as the American public has deemed necessary in order to even be considered for president). Last time I checked, and correct me if I am wrong, our constitution separates church from state; therefore, theoretically, a non-christian could be elected president.

  • Posted By: Mrs C @ 08/03/2008 6:39:56 PM

    I used to be a supporter but here lately he has flipped flopped so many times I just scratch my head. He and his wife both seem to be getting bitter, angrier and hostile.
    While I live in AZ, I am definately NOT a supprter of McCain's either.
    Maybe I will just write in my vote.
    To warch him play the race card by only embracing his black roots, and referring to his mother ( that he claims to love ) as his white mother, instead of just as his mother, seems a bit insulting to me.
    Missnachez seems to be the one going off on a tangent. Obama doesn't scare me because he is black, he scares me because I am starting to question weather or not he has the experience and the wisdom to lead this country. He says he wants to reduce the tax burden on those making less tha $250,000 a year. I find that to be an iresponsible and unattainable goal. That is 75% of the country!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I both wrk and barely make $50,000 a year. Believe me we could use and welcome a tax break, but at what cost?
    I would rather hear him say he is gonna bring all the jobs lost to Pakistan, China. and Mexico, back to this country. I would like to hear him promise major sanctions and penalities to corporations that promise a good living to people, and then pull the rug out from under them by going overseas for cheaper labor!!!!!
    Those ARE doable and attainable goals.

    • Posted By: lee226 @ 08/03/2008 6:43:37 PM

      Your facts are incorrect, 75% of the people in this country do not make more than 250.000 a year.
      You are a wolf in sheep's clothing, go back to your republican friends and tell this crap to them

        Naw, Mrs.C,

        Remember his speech in Berlin. He isn't American. He's a "citizen of the world." That is why he took the flag off the tail of his plane and replaced it with his O for Obama symbol. He's probably thrilled that all our jobs are going overseas--more unity in the world that hates us because we actually can be warm in winter, cold in summer and eat what we please-- Remember, Obama says we need to quit that right now as those people abroad don't like it that we are doing well.

        Obama's only piece of legislation in the Senate of consequence is to tax US citizens for World (not US) poverty at the tune of $800+B dollars.

        NOT THIS MAN!

        • Posted By: raddave @ 08/04/2008 10:14:20 AM

          John McCain's plane also does not have the American flag on it. It says "JohnMcCain.com" on the tail. Obama also said in Berlin that he comes to Berlin a proud citizen of the United States and a fellow citizen of the world. Ronald Regan also called himself a citizen of the world in Berlin, That un-patriotic bastard!!!

        • Posted By: Ur2slo4me @ 08/03/2008 7:43:20 PM

          Sen Obama's statement was he comes as a proud citizen of the United States and as a citizen of the world. The statement in itself reflects not only do we have an obligation to our country, but we all have an obligation to the world on a whole. That obligation may be served through service to a country that's making the world safe that we may all post our opinions regardless of ignorant and under informed they maybe. Remember when Ronald Reagan spoke he also described himself as a citizen of the world, what's the difference now that Barak Obama says it? I think you are just really looking for any reason to be against him, which is your right. I just wish you would make sure you're not being so hypocritcal when you site your opposition. If racism is the reason you're against him just say it! That's your right too. Just be true to yourself.

  • Posted By: thewonk46 @ 08/04/2008 1:18:42 AM

    John McCain is an American hero, but does that qualify him to be president?...Over and over again I will continue to ask the McCain supporters to google search "the Keaton Five" of which Senator McCain was one...He was doing the Jack Abramoff stuff way before it was popular...I do not disagree that Obama is not the most experienced, but what America needs is a president that's going to do the right thing...That means tough choices, choices which America is not all to willing to make...Why can't we bring the dollars home which we are spending in Iraq?...If your answer is that we're keeping the people of Iraq free and stopping a civil war, that's not making America more secure (disagree with that and you;re either stupid, drunk, high, or all of the above) because that was not the reason America invaded...Oh, but we I know that your memory becomes selective now and it's "we invaded to stop Al Qaeda"...No, we did not...This smoke screen about the surge working is just another ruse to keep spending American dollars and more importantly, American lives in the Middle-East for God only knows what reason...And lastly as Americans, we are all to easy to for get about Iraqi deaths which we are respinsible for...WBBJ!!!

    • Posted By: pearsoncrz @ 08/04/2008 10:12:20 AM

      You mean like the tough choice Obama made to support Tillman and Mayor Daley in a local campaign influenced by Walmart? Or maybe you mean the tough choice Obama made to take EKI money in return for supporting Killerspin's request for taxpayer funding for its marketing campaign? Or maybe you mean the tough choice he recently made on Bush's FISA legislation, to bail out his communications industry buddies by voting with the republicans for retroactive immunity so their customers couldn't sue them for violating their civil and Constitutional rights?

  • Posted By: touchmenot @ 08/03/2008 4:44:19 PM

    What makes us think that Obama has the experience to run this country. Yes he is courting voters in the Bible Belt. We have seen him drop his Pastor and mentor after 20 yrs. He decided to run for President before his Senate seat got warm. I couldn't believe that he was making promises in the Middle East and Europe like he was the President. He assumes that he can bring everyone in under his rhetoric spell. I was told my a family member how wonderful he is. They just gushed. I want to see where he actually stands on the issues that are facing this county instead of his crap. Discuss the issues instead of the spell he is trying to sell all of america. He is no JFK and I am sorry but his wife is no Jackie. They are not the people to run this country if they can t stand the heat get out of the election.

    • Posted By: michigan70 @ 08/03/2008 5:09:34 PM

      I'm am really getting tired of this argument that people don't know where Obama stands on the issues. Do you know where McCain stands? The point is that politicians are intentionally vague on there positions because they want to appeal to the broadest base possible and the American public wants to be lied to. Why don't you stop pretending that this just applies to Obama and find another reason not to vote for him?

      Also, since when is it a bad thing to be eloquent? Aren't you tired of morons running the country or are you more comfortable with stupid people?

      • Posted By: touchmenot @ 08/04/2008 7:51:50 AM

        I don't care as you say how eloquent he is. He turned on his mentor when he decided to run for President, He sat under a Pastor for 20 years and agreed with his teachings and then poof it is wrong. Common give me a break. You think anyone who has not been caught up with the spell Obama has tried to catch the American people with Change as he says. What gives him any right to make promises to all these countries that he has no right too. I will not be bullied into trusting a man who when it is convenient to turn on his friends and Pastor. He is not able at this time to run this country. Maybe in 10 or 15 years but not now. He can court the Bible belt all he wants I know several Democrats who have never voted Republican that will not vote for him because of his actions. I heard yesterday that He said no to drilling offshore. He said use the leases we have now he is for offshore drilling. This is just an example of how he makes his policies. So yes I have followed the issues. Also I am no moron,. Because I do not see things your way does not make me a moron. I have the right to not agree with your opinion. I guess your opinion is the only one people are suppose to have. Sorry to disappoint you. Slick Willie didn't take care of Bin Ladin when he had the chance so now we are trying to hunt him down so is he a moron too?????

  • Posted By: joe1022joe @ 08/03/2008 7:07:57 PM

    Contrary to some of the answers to my recednt post, Barak Hussein Obama did attend a Wahabi Moslem school while living in Indonesia with his step-father, himself a Moslem. His religion was stated as Moslem. Check your facts. While it may be OK with some of the people who post on this site that Obama lacks American-ness, I assure you it is not OK with most Americans. Obama's job is to preveent the voters from finding out who he really is and what he really thinks. He has associated with radicals both white and black for many, many years. He clearly identifies with them and believes what they believe -- which is bad for America. It wouldn't surprise me a lot to learn that Obama is a Manchurian candidate. I wonder who his agent handler is?

    • Posted By: Inaru @ 08/04/2008 7:32:28 AM

      Same joe, same cut-paste, same kind of traitor who calls himself a patriot, by questioning Obama's American-ness, when thousands of the soldiers fighting for your worthless hides are the same color, same background as Obama. You haters need to jump off the planet - it's passed you by anyway.

    • Posted By: jrb124 @ 08/03/2008 7:21:43 PM

      Since you keep touting Obama's supposed lacking of it, why don't you define this "American-ness" that you continuously refer to? Let me guess, it starts off with being a bible pounding Christian that has to regurgitate everything they are told by their leaders, because its bad to question or think for yourself, and when you do they might call you (gasp) un-American!

  • Posted By: whyi55 @ 08/03/2008 7:13:03 PM

    I support Obama in believing that people do want change even after centuries of the same. The conditions in America has changed. At some point voters who are simply use to their community and their way of life being untouched by our government are now feeling the threats of possible negative change. Some are willing to look beyond the normality of our government and take an unfamiliar stance that can help keep their
    communities, families, and jobs remain untouched by our present government's decision making.
    Therefore, leaving no territory is very important to the Obama campaign. Again, I support his efforts, his
    hope, and I pray he will bring unity among many.

    • Posted By: Joe_Rocks @ 08/03/2008 9:01:12 PM

      About.`the only change Obama will bring about is Socialist, Marxist Communism. I hope you enjoy living in a Socialist State because that's the change Obama wants to bring about. Visit the usasurvival.org site if you want to learn more about Obama's Communist Socialist Marxist leanings.
      He even speaks about his mentor Frank Marshall Davis in his own autobiography. Right out of Obama's own mouth.
