    In choosing the competent, but unloved, Biden, Obumer, who is NOT a citizen of the USA, admits that he was in way over his head. Biden was not waiting by the phone like some school girl and you can be sure that Biden got a large portfolio of responsibility and Obumerwill do PR. Those that put up Obumer hoisted Biden on the ticket; if the lackey: Obumer did not go along: it would have been Hillary when the delegates were finished voting and counted.

    The Draft is scheduled to return in 2009. HOPE you do not mind CHANGING into a military uniform.

    Obama traveled to Indonesia and Pakistan using his Indonesian passport in1981 when Obama was 20 years old. Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya at a Maternity Hospital, to his father, a Kenyan Citizen and his mother, a U.S. Citizen. WHERE IS THE AMERICAN PRESS? Obumer is not constitutionally eligible to be President!

    getzel, it is war-mongering Mccain who is more likely to re-institute the draft, and Obama was born in Hawaii to an American born (Kansan) mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. The last I checked Hawaii is one of the fifty states in the Union (and was at the time of Obama's birth). And just like Angelina Jolie's and Brad Pitt's daughter, Shiloh Nouvelle Joile-Pitt, born in Namibia, is an American citizen because her parents, so would Obama be even if he had not been born in the states (though he was, and unlike McCain, who was born in Panama), because his mother was an American citizen. And just like all the children born to illegal immigrants on our soil are American citizens by virtue of being born in this country, even though their parents are not legal citizens, so Obama would have been an American citizen, even if his mother had not been American (though she was). So, either way, he was born to an American citizen, in America/on American soil. He's as American as (presumably) you (are).

    mccainsupporter, I think Joe Biden, having been in the Senate for 35 years, and having known McCain both in 2000 and now, probably knows him better than you do (or the MSM does), and is, therefore, qualified to speak on the trending towards the right changes in McCain this election cycle, from the maverick moderate of 2000. McCain is now employing the same Bush/Rove operatives against Obama that were employed against him in 2000, which he then decried. He's also flip flopped on many of the positions he held 8 years ago. Who better to know how McCain has morphed into a neocon than one who's been in the Senate longer than he?

    Joe Biden argued on the first day of the announcement of his selection that John McCain is nothing more than a mere clone of George Bush. Joe Biden knows that John McCain ran against George Bush for the Republican nomination in 2000 and millions of Republicans supported John McCain during the 2000 primaries. John McCain also gave the nominating speech for Bob Dole at the Republican Convention in 1996. For all of those who don???t remember Bob Dole ran a spirited primary contest against George Bush???s father.

    To say that John McCain is a clone of George Bush can not be any further from the truth and it is like saying Barack Obama is a clone of Hillary Clinton.

    As far as I see things, there are many individuals who benefitted from two parent families, even up to the time they were divorced and some others who weren't scarred by beibg brought up in a single p[arent family (Mom only).
    Being fortunate enough, as human beings, we do have the capacity to reflect on the Interest, Influence and IMPACT parental expectations have had on our goals, values and mores, as well as leading some of us tobe quite successful ion most of our endeavors.

    getzel, what you need to get first , is what qualifies someone to be citizen of United States,then you'll be able to understand and maybe contribute to the on-going politicking. i see two problems here in your world. 1.probably you belong to the LEAGUE OF LOW INFORMATION VOTERS(LLIV) or you are just outrightly dumb.But if neither is your problem, i'll like to report to you that Barack Obama was born in Honolulu Hawai'i in Aug 4 .1961 and NOT someplace in Kenya. For your information Hawai'i is a state in United States.STOP PROPAGATING LIES ON THE INTERNET YOU MORON !!!!!!

    Born alive infant protections act? More like a Jail Your Local Doctor Act.... thats why he opposed it.... Toughness is maintaining the kind of campaign Barack has waged. Compare that to multiple failed presidential bids by McCain, a sneak into the primary win with a minority of support, and a need to have the RNC run his campaign for him, That is toughness. Almost as tough as crashing your plane three times after almost failing out of flight school.

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 08/24/2008 7:30:44 AM

      Actually you have no clue. Here is the real deal about the Born Alive Infanct Prtection act that Obama continuated to block in his state of ILLINOIS and once he was no longer senator t

      • Posted By: sharenews @ 08/24/2008 7:44:05 AM



        (Sorry, my finger slipped in message above I was typing . . . ) . Explanation: Obama said that he would not vote for the Born Again bill that was submitted in his state that he continued to block. BUT, he did say to people that if his state bill was written like the US Senate Federal bill that was passed he would have voted for it. Errrrp. It has since been proven that his state vers. of the bill was worded exactly as the Federal bill that passed; so his reason for not voting for his states bill is debunked. He lied. Case closed. BTW, why all of a sudden you have to talk about McCain? Probably because you wanted to debunk him, but in your case it is not true. His only issues with flying a plane was fllying too low near high retention lines (but did not crash) and the rest of the issues were not anything of his doing (maintenance issues) except him being shot down over north vietnam which he ejected out of him plane from and was captive for 5 1/2 yrs. as a POW.

          you are a perfect example of why we need to invest in public education

            neen -

            Sharenews is an fine example of the high degree of excellence that an individual can develop and achieve in either a competent challenging public or home school environment.

            But investing in public education is a false simplified answer - rather, the solution lies in rewarding the competent teachers, and dismissing the incompetent ones.

    Great article. Points out that Obama didn't get where he is by being soft. Obama has a quiet strength -- not the blustery strength McCain exhibits through his taunts and tirades. I want the guy in the Oval Office to be the guy who isn't always looking for a fight (it's easy to find one if that's what you're looking for -- but it's not at all the best or most productive approach -- after all, how many fights can your resources support at any given time and how much is lost in a fight that could have been resolved in a better way if only the leadership had their priorities in order to best serve the greater good of the country instead of the greater good of a few chosen for their likemindedness or proven loyalties. In addition, taking into account all the smears and accusations of Obama supporting the "angry black man" philosophies, can you imagine what those smears would be like if he came across as angry like McCain and was taking the kind of cheap shots McCain is taking. Obama doesn't have the POW shield that McCain has and seems to use to explain so many of his failings. I believe voters have a very clear choice and I hope they take the time to look, beyond the partisan rhetoric and get informed as to who McCain and Obama are before casting their votes. Another administration like the current one would be disastrous for America.

      nancy1, I think one of the reasons Obama picked Biden is because Biden is the "blustery strength" that Obama lacks. Biden will be the "attack dog" the Dem's so badly need. They need eyes and ears turned away from Obama because he shows he is "soft' in so many areas.

  • Posted By: Ricky123 @ 08/24/2008 1:39:30 PM

    Obama describes the disparity between the USA and the Third World Africa his father came from in the 1950s and 60s as a contrast between premodern and modern cultures. He does NOT claim that life in Africa today is "premodern." Therefore, the caption on your photo for this article is inappropriate, as it implies that Obama thinks of contemporary Africa as "premodern." Africa is not a timeless place - it is a place that has changed enormously since the 1950s.
