    Check this out. http://www.americasright.com/2008/09/obama-dnc-file-motion-to-dismiss-in.html. Could obama be trying to conceal his ineligibility to run for presidency. An easy fix to me would be to produce the paperwork. Nay. That would be to easy.

    Not to mention that no one knows for sure where all that money came from. It could be from terrorist sects. I mean anybody can let their fingers go walking through the white page, come up with names and make small donations in those names. Am I wrong for thinging like that. There is no way to control or tell where the money is coming from. I mean, where is all of those finanically strapped people getting this extra money to fund his compaign when they complain about purchasing gas, putting food on the table and paying everyday bills. I guest mccain was right afterall, the economy is fundamentally sound afterall..

      if the 3.1million donors is accurate and they all donated, cionservatively, $20 apiece that would total out be be close to $620mil, wouldn't it?

      The money came from the aliens STUPID.

    NEWS ANCHOR FAILS IN AN ATTEMPT TO SMEAR SENATOR OBAMA AS MARXIST DURING INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR BIDEN

    First the backdrop. Barbara West is married to Wade West, a political media consultant for Republican politicians and organizations. Not sure if Senator Biden knew that when he sat down to do the interview. Barbara also is an ABC News Anchor with Orlando, Florida affiliate WFTV channel 9, which is owned by Cox Enterprise.

    But with all her so-call 'professional objectivity', Barbara could not resist the temptation to smear Senator Obama with Marxist questions while interviewing Senator Joe Biden. Either way, Senator Biden handled himself very well. This is a "must see" video.

    GOD Bless the United States of America!
    GOD Bless the Obama-Biden Leadership Team!

      I saw this interview and agree. You should see it. Contrary to "Lori W," below, the questions asked by the interviewer were very poorly presented, not fact based, and could not be backed up. Her questions were simply the Rove-Republican play line. Biden is terrific. Watch his surprise at the questions, then as he quickly collects himself and answers factually, albeit with an appropriate disbelief at the questions.

      • Posted By: jasper_r @ 10/27/2008 11:38:50 AM

        The questions may not have been presented in the best way but they were questions that a lot of people are asking, not just one member of the press. The fact that no one seems to want to address the questions, regardless of whether they seem inappropriate or not, speaks a lot more loudly than the questions themselves. This whole campaign has been nothing but one smear after another on both sides of the galley and a lot of us are sick to death of the whole thing. We would be better off with neither party in the White House, but in the long run I am more afraid of what Obama will do to this country. McCain may hold the status quo but Obama will run us into the ground with his socialist ideaology.

    Another excellent article Howard! Wow Obama has 5 million volunteers and here McNasty is bragging about having 1 million volunteers. Hah Hah McNasty is bragging about nothing as always. I'm sure that us Obama supporters will finally be able to e-mail our president and not be ignored. He will listen to the people, not just the elitist lobbyists that McNasty has running his losing campaign.

    The momentum is still trending towards Obama and it's becoming more and more likely he will blow out the Dumber and Dumbest ticket in a popular vote and electoral college landslide. He's going to have the kind of mandate the repugnant ones could only dream about. So funny that 4 years ago the repugnant ones were bragging about controlling Congress and the White House for a generation, so funny they lost Congress in 2 years and they're going to lose the White House after 4 years. Get Over It!

    We need Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Reid with large majorities so that they can undo all the damage the repugnant ones have wrought upon our country 20 of the past 28 years.

      Well, this article says that MCCain lied about being tortured while a prisoner in Vietnam....Can it be true? Can his whole claim of fame that is built solely on his bravery in face of torture be fake and untrue? It is hard form me to believe, but something that should be researched and explored.

      • Posted By: jasper_r @ 10/27/2008 11:31:18 AM

        Oh please, do you believe everything you read? Like the media doesn't have it's own agenda. Whatever.

    So "Obamaworld" is going to be sort of like the religious right to Republicans, demanding and hard to control? Both sides have their extremists who will never be happy. Bush was way too conservative for people on the left and not nearly conservative enough for people on the far right. McCain would face the same sort of problems. The promises and rhetoric in campaigns are designed to appeal to the masses, including those on the extremes. No matter who wins the election though those who supported the winner who lean to the extremes will likely feel slighted when the administration doesn't deliver on the vague promises their candidate made before the election. That's just the way it works in every presidential election. Despite what they say in their campaigns, no president can be all things to all people. In practice our leaders in the executive and legislative branches are almost always going to have to move toward the middle and compromise.

    It's OBVIOUS that Newsweek supports McCain.

  • Posted By: hoping4 @ 10/27/2008 10:41:38 AM

    While we have been made to feel a part of his campaign, I believe we are supporting Obama because of his ideas and ability to lead. If he wins, we will go back to living our lives and he will, hopefully, take charge of steering our country back to a place of honor in the world and progressive stability at home. Most of us don't have time to run our lives and a country. We support him because we trust him to do the right thing when we're not looking. That's the whole point.

    You just don't get it, do you?
    You have 'created' nothing, we have
    It's not what 'we' want to do, it's 'what needs to be done'.
    And you can join, or get off the bus.

  • Posted By: TedDietz @ 10/27/2008 10:47:55 AM

    I see what you are saying. It's going to be kind of like the religious right to Republicans and other ight wing wingnuts, demanding and hard to control.

  • Posted By: Tokoloshe @ 10/27/2008 10:46:25 AM

    You just don't get it, do you?
    You have 'created' nothing.
    It's not what 'we' want to do, it's 'what must be done'.

    Change, hope we will obey Comrade Obama He will take care of us We need change and hope without him we would have to work. He will do away with jobs and take care of us we will never have to work!

    The way things go with people and government is as visible now as it was when people took charge and threw tea into Boston Harbor, long time passing. When government gets so bad that it cannot be tolerated any more by the many who were not participating, then they participate. The consequences back then were that a government was formed which provided for citizen participation. The consequences now are no more fearful than they were then and the only ones who might disagree are probably the same now as they were way back then. Those are the ones who screwed it up and led to all of this participation. Soon we see the consequences.

      The people who have been so haughtily in the process of ruining this country for the past eight years are very fortunate that a constitution was created with a right to vote them out of office, wholesale, instead of the alternative, violent revolution, that has so brutally deposed past such regimes. Those of them who are not to be prosecuted for crimes can simply retire to their respective states and witness the change that they wrought through a combination of incompetence, greed, and sometimes downright avarice. The worst has to be the war. The unnecessary and consumptive, idiotic war. They'll be lucky if they don't face charges.

    Obey comrade Obama or you will be delt with!

  • Posted By: izme @ 10/27/2008 10:26:03 AM

    The control that voluteers have over Obama's campaign the horrible hatefulness that is expressed toward women, small business people, and rural parts of the US. What a BIG mistake!! Obama has lost control and it shows he is incompetent.
