    First, I would like to say that Barrack Obama is a brave man. I am sure the thought of assassination is on the minds of all Americans if he gets elected. Not that they agree with it, but are afraid of it. Our country has changed so much over the past few decades, but there are those few that still hold on to the backward roots of their past. As a white woman that grew up in the deep south of Mississippi, I think it is high time that we start looking at people for their integrity not their skin color. Now, you can agree or disagree with both candidates point of views, but lets elect them because we agree with what they say, not because we disagree with their color. My opinion, I think Obama would make a great president, and would make a great hero for the young black youth that still feel that the dream of I can be anything doesn't apply to being a president. May God bless our country in this historical time.

    Other posts obsess about experience. How many of you voted for Bush in 2000 or Clinton in 1992. At those times, neither candidate had the experience either. Yet many of you voted for them. And yet now, suddenly people have a problem voting for Obama because of experience?? I don't buy your argument, expecially if you did vote for either candidate in 1992 or 2000. One other thing to remember folks. Just because a person has "experience" does not mean that the person will be successful in the job. Experience does not make a person successful.

      Pup!!! Get real. Both Bush and Clinton were Governors??? of their states!!!! Obama has not held ANY position of responsibility, anywhere, EVER.

      • Posted By: mudpup @ 08/28/2008 10:07:07 AM

        Havana, and what does running a state have to do with foreign policy experience. That is the argument Republicans give. And if Obama has never held any position of responsibility, then what you are saying is that no job other than government jobs are responsible jobs. So whatever you do in your job, it's not a position of responsibility? Or do you simply not work? A governorship also does not mean the person is experienced enough to do the job. Yes, they have experience, but again, experience does not lead to success.

          Governors routinely interact with heads of state from other countries on mainly economic projects, but on on some social policies as well. The Governor of New Mexico has worked extensively with the President of Mexico on the illegal immigrant issue. So Governors are an EXECUTIVE position, like the president....while Senators are merely legislative in function. Duh.

          mudpup, ...Well said, I applaud you.

        WOW, I guess being the Senator of Illinois isn't a position of responsibility.

        • Posted By: HavanaBaddog @ 08/28/2008 11:09:34 AM

          I've got more time on the can than he's had actually doing the work of a Senator. In the end we've produced the same result, a great big stinking pile. When Obama does something of note or takes a position on anything meaningfull I may consider taking a second look. Until then, flushhhhhh.

      • Posted By: joebloww @ 08/28/2008 10:25:00 AM

        The man is a Senator. you dumbass

        • Posted By: HavanaBaddog @ 08/28/2008 11:04:53 AM

          How long has he been a Senator? How many days has he logged in the Congressional record as being on the job at the capitol: 143! How many of those have been in freshman orientation? How many bills has he AUTHORED? None, NONE, in both the Senate and in Illinois. He's put his name one other people's work plenty of time, but only on those bills where there was minimal danger of political controversy. Obama has not held any position where he was in charge of anything. He's never been tested as a manager, boss, supervisor, in any way. He wasn't even an actual professor in Chicago!!! Listen, vote for your candidate. It's your right as an American citizen. If you don't go into the voting booth with your eyes open, what does that make you? The dumbass.

    • Posted By: ravs07 @ 08/28/2008 10:03:29 AM

      Well I didn't vote for George and to vote for Bill was before my time... I'm from Illinois and he hasn't done much of anything for our state and that makes him a great candidate for president?? I will probably end up voting for him because I know I don't want McCain and I won't waste my vote to have him end up president. But then again, what does it matter?? Popular vote doesn't mean anything.

    Obama is a worthy candidate no matter his ethnicity you bunch of idiots.

    • Posted By: crmjacks @ 08/28/2008 11:07:22 AM

      Yeah he gave a speech at the 2004 DNC and spent 155 days in Congress as a one-term Senator from Illinois. He sponsored 2 or 3 bills that passed with a pittance of importance....like global poverty. Real qualified. Your VP candidate is more "qualified" than Obama. Biden just lacks the personality and silky-smooth ability to delivery the text from a teleprompter.

    Wellcome, Mr. Barak Obama, the new Manchurian candidate,

    I am responding to a comment that was made earlier. I am African American and I do not live in the "ghetto." Actually, I live in the nicest section in the city I reside in. It is sad to hear how ignorant some people truly are. Yes it is true that some African Americans reside in urban, low income areas, however to counter the "ghetto" areas there are also trailer parks consumed with low income whites that behave in a very similar manner as these people in the "ghetto" that you referred to. Just because I share the same skin tone does not mean that I agree and will behave in the same manor. There are more things in life that separates and unites individuals then color of one's skin. ( I have a white friend who tans and her skin gets darker than mine in the summer?) Do yoy agree and do everything that other people in your race does? Of course not! .. Here's an idea.... Turn on your televison and watch two minutes of Jerry Springer. I guarantee you will see whites as well as blacks behaving in unseemly ways. My point is stop stereotyping. There's already enough problems in the world, we don't need to point fingers because we ALL have some things we aren't so proud of. "We should not judge individuals based on the color of their skin.. but on the content of their character..."

          First of all true white supremacists are anti-drug,but i would rather have a plot to assassinate me by a meth addict than someone that was sober.This sounds like a good story for Obama to get some pity votes than a true assassination plot.Just my opinion.

    • Posted By: Lee Holmes @ 08/26/2008 2:07:13 PM

      As I surmised. This person[not ''persons''and not ''white supremacists''],''posed no credible threat'',according to the FBI this morning.

    It has nothing to do with the color of his skin. It has more to do with his lack of respect for the intelligence of the American people, Blacks especially. Since, he already figures their votes in his count. It???s a shame he figures the people that are the same color as he are dumb enough to vote for him simply because they are the same color and not that they are intelligent people who base their decision on their ability to think for themselves. The fact that he is blaringly pro-Muslim and anti-American brings to surface issues. He refuses to acknowledge the American Flag, the National Anthem or any other respectable act of patriotism. His wife, whom he so lovingly adores, has written anti white racist papers in college. A leopard can't change its stripes and a racist can't change their color. Wow, what an amazing about face from the Clinton???s. Don???t you like the flip flop on support for Obama? It went from hatred to support. Do you think it might have something to do with Obama Paying off Hillary???s Campaign debt?

        do you actually have a point or is the American right to free speech something you wish to extinguish also. this is a blog for voicing opinions on the subject and you idiots use it for attacking opinions of people. grow up.

      • Posted By: ajkriv @ 08/28/2008 10:39:42 AM

        Leopards do not have stripes, they have SPOTS. That is only the first in a whole string of misinformation in your post. So, next time do your homework.

        • Posted By: IamCloudwalker @ 08/28/2008 10:55:25 AM

          yea i caught the stripes thing but at least i have the brains to make remarks about the issues and not waste time correcting others point of view because i can't think for myself. get a life moron

  • Posted By: sugamuga @ 08/28/2008 10:25:41 AM

    I believe people that don't want Obama in office because they are afraid that he will make a change for the better. Some people like sitting around being angry and having some else to blame for their failures and problems in life. Some people are just racist to the heart and need to be hateful. So if someone hopefully Obama brings about change then they will not know how to act. I'll tell those of you who carry such hate. Seek Jesus Christ, I mean a personal relationship with him. So many are religious but they don't have a personal relationship with Christ. IF they did they would not carry so much hate. Bush cheated his way into office and lied to get what he wanted. Well we saw what he can do for this country and that was F it up. Now give Barack Obama his chance then make your decisions as to what he can or can't do.

    the Illumminati has a ultimate plan here, actually its a science experiment, lets have a black president, have him get assassinated, lets a have a huge race war/civil unrest war, let the mexicans take over wtih all hidden MS-13 gangs, tuen all the fast food joints into Paco's taco and Ammo. i said my piece " Vote for Bob Barr"

  • Posted By: Missperry @ 08/28/2008 10:52:54 AM

    Exactly his skin color has nothing to do with the fact that he's a great candidate. I'm an African American woman and I don't care what color he is, as long as he's out to make America better, and our way of life better I'm for him. I'm proud of Obama, b/c despite the ignorance of American's he's still standin g strong and standing for what he believes in.

  • Posted By: NotAtAll @ 08/28/2008 10:21:33 AM

    Until we stop hyphenating our heritage into our nationality we're never going to be united. This is exactly what factions like muslim extremeist want. United we stand, divided....well you get the picture....

    • Posted By: crmjacks @ 08/28/2008 10:52:42 AM

      Exactly. I am so sick of hearing blacks talk about being "African-America" and how chic it is for them to talk about Africa in reference to the 'motherland' and how any time they get to visit the continent it is such a blessing. How rediculous would it be, as a white American, to constantly tell people how 'European American' I am? Half my family is from a Bavarian village in Germany and I have visited the country. Did I ever feel "Wow, I am in my homeland! My ROOTS!" No!! because I am an American and THAT"s what I value and identify with before all else. I feel many blacks see themselves as African FIRST, American, SECOND.

      Africa, is a garbage hole, filled with the scum of the earth...and it doesn't have to do with skin color. It is a vile, backward, hostile, war-torn land that the law has forgotten. And it has been populated in greater numbers WAY longer than North America so you would think it would be far more developed than North America. If blacks long for Africa so much, why aren't they immigrating there in mass numbers?

    Since this probably falls under the category of terrorism, perhaps these three moreons should be sent to Gitmo and treated the same way that everbody else in detention there has been treated. Since these guys are probably right wing militant conservatives, they should be treated the same way that George Bush and Dick Cheney feel other terrirost shold be treated, including waterboarding. The meth angle could be a cover. Waterboarding and attack dogs are ok by Bush, so let's see them follow up on some possible domestic terrorists....

    This article just proves that this country is't going down because of the President. It is because of the people. We the people of the USA are causing the problems, and the best way to stand up to it is to stop tearing down each other, and Vote new people into Congress. I beleive that Congress would be a more willing to help the American public if there are new people in there. There should be a 12 year cap on people serving in the National Congress.

    But all this you're wrong I'm right thing that is going on in the country is just going to split the country and it will take something bigger than Sept 11, 2001 to bring us back together.

    Educate yourself, with all information. Vote. And accept and follow the new American President.

  • Posted By: Missperry @ 08/28/2008 10:50:59 AM

    Oh stop it!! Why would he do that? Come on people you all sound as ignorant as those jerks that did this thing. Stop making excuses for ignorant people. Why would he stage an assassination plot. You guys are very ignorant and hopefully you'll read what you wrote and be ashamed of yourselves. That's just ridiculous!

  • Posted By: mlmos52 @ 08/28/2008 10:50:10 AM

    Oddly enough when I read this story I thought it was about some drug dealers being investigated for what might be a plot against a presidential candidate. I think the way the police and FBI are investigating this say a lot about them enforcing the law. I think that the way the story is written say a lot about the writer looking for a way to make it seem more about race than about the laws that were broken, and I think that most of the comments that I read show that race is the most important think they got from the story. Yes I am white, no I won???t vote for Obama but not because of his skin color but because of his liberal voting record and his lack of experience. He may well be the first President of African decent in America but that won???t make him a good one and it won???t make him a bad one, what he does will determent that.

  • Posted By: georgie_w @ 08/28/2008 9:26:40 AM

    I am so tired of reading about how Bush has run this country into the ground. He does not have the no end say all of everything. Lets remember how the government works people...You all voted for the politicians who make these decisions and then choose to blame the President. So if Bin-Bama gets into the White House who are you all going to blame when the "star" screws everything up worse because he has no experience other than sounding good? Geez, get a clue!

    • Posted By: joebloww @ 08/28/2008 10:49:44 AM

      bin-bama? how bout you get a clue. dumbass

    Look if these guys threatened Obama the FBI should be scoping every angle to make sure the threat is extinguished. I commend them on the job they are doing.

    But Im not sure what the libs are so worried about I mean Obama would be back in three days anyway right?

      If you think Obama is the messiah and McCain is opposing him, does that make McCain the Anti-Christ?
