    The MUSLIMS plan to take over the USA from within Obama is just there stepping stone. He is a MUSLIM who hates AMERICA and the AMERICAN PEOPLE who represent this country. He will be impeached when he can not provide a valid birth certificate. He was born in Kenya and later a CITIZEN of INDONESIA where he went to school. READ THE FACTS PEOPLE NOT THE OBAMA HYPE

        The State of Hawaii has confirmed that Senator Obama has a valid US birth certificate that was issued in Hawaii. Go Obama!

    Look, you lazy liberals. The only way I will let any one of you live in my house, is if you want to be my maid. Work for what you get. I am so tired of watching the government play Robin in The Hood. You little hood rats, might want to get a job and quit sucking your life out of my wallet. Robin Hood Obama promised you ice cream, and I'm paying for it. Come on in. You can serve it to me and earn a living.

    First of all I'm a 45 year old white male in the U.S.A.F. I've been in for 24 years now and worked side by side with blacks, whites, mexicans, and every other ethnic group and never had a problem with it. I voted for obama not based on his color but because i believe he is the best candidate. I'm originally from Iowa but now live in North Carolina. I believe i'm probably 1 in 100 at the local bar i hang out at that voted for Obama, also where my wife bartends at. I didnt vote for McCain for several reasons, first one being he is too old to be running for president. Second one being if he has health problems i dont want barbie running the country. Most of the people (white) here and down south wont vote for Obama solely because he's black. To that i say, step out of your trailer, the civil war is over, it's 2008.

      I can't believe anyone that has served our country and sacrificed their life would vote for a person like Obama. Could you let him date your daughter or just let him screw your country.

    • Posted By: Marine2005 @ 11/04/2008 1:05:29 PM

      Figures you would vote for Obama being in the CHAIRFORCE.

    I couldn't disagree with jr1979 more.
    We are listening to the issues and to Obama's concern for the middle class. Something we haven't heard sincerely expressed from a candidate in a long long time.
    He is a decent family man and just because you don't agree with his political views doesn't mean he doesn't have "moral fiber".
    Where was McCain's "moral fiber" when he cheated on his wife and then left her for his rich mistress.
    Obama wants to help the middle class working people of this country. McCain is rich and has no clue how hard it has become for the middle class. Which couldn't have been more obvious than when he called us "whiners" and told us to "get second jobs" to pay our health insurance.
    Now there's nothing wrong with being rich but there not the ones hurting right now. The middle class is suffering through no fault of there own through utility and grocery bills going up, jobs disappearing to other countries and health insurance prices through the roof. Sorry but McCain just didn't address those issues and I'm really not interested in his morals.
    The republicans are the ones following "like sheep" any candidate that agrees with there "moral" views.
    Let our political leaders worry about getting our economy back in order. I want my tax money to go to someone that is running the country not dictating there morals to me. It's time to figure out how to get out of this hole the republicans have put us in.
    As far as that "set of interviews" you saw I'm sure it was more lies put out by the Republican party. Negativity and lying has pretty much been there defense through this campaign.

    If you want Obama then our country will be destroyed. I went to his page and the first thing was wanting you to give him money. That is all he wants! 99.9% of the blacks think that they will be getting everything they want if Obama get it. They dont care about this country or working. They want everything handed to them.

    GO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    NO NO NO OBAMA

    • Posted By: anonymous08 @ 11/04/2008 1:33:04 PM

      Blacks are not the only people in the lower classes there are many people that want things handed to them! Don't try to blame that all on blacks! There are spanish, white, and other cultures that don't want to work and expect to get handouts in this country it's not about race it's about class!

      • Posted By: proud123 @ 11/04/2008 1:51:15 PM

        You are a racist and therefore your thoughts are meaningless. Who are you to generalize a whole race? I'm african american and I don't get anything handed to me? Statistic show more white families benefit from welfare then African american. Get your facts straight before you blow off your chops! You are truly ignorant and a true testiment to what ignorant americans still think.

      First of all you both sound like morons! Their is a sour apple in every group. Don't focus on African Americans nor minorities there are many of us who work , graduate college,and got masters. We still live paycheck to paycheck becasue we are trying to do the right thing and have the american dream. We would love a break and some help. what is wrong with you guys. Not everyone is a dead beat or free loader a lot of us work. We deserve a break and a little help to get our dreams

      I can not believe that someone would actually have the audacity to characterize all blacks as hood rat. Let tell you you I am far from that and I well educated. I have graduated with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree, can you say the same? GO OBAMA

  • Posted By: Adibesee @ 11/04/2008 1:27:12 PM

    Keith your argument doesn't factor in several variables. What if the company decides their need dictate someone whose skill sets include the ability to motivate, unite, and excite the company. If McCain couldn't stay on focus during his presidential run, what makes you think it would be any different during a McCain presidency?

    Historically black voters overwhelmingly vote democratic. This is a by product of history, but also of the Republican parties inability/unwillingness to court black voters. The Republican Party knew this and took no action to change their standing within that community. Prior to this election Republicans should have been actively courting blacks the same way they do women and working class blue collar voters. You can't ignore a population politically, then complain when the ignore you. Their has to be some reciprocity and forethought within the Republican Party in respect to their current standing with African Americans if they expect to receive more then nominal support in future elections.

      You are still missing the point. Compare resumes or Obama and McCain. If it was strictly related to ability, Obama wouldnt have a change.

    I am an educate, white alaskan woman wo with 200,000 other women calle dor Sarah Palin to be off the ballot. she is a disgrace to all Americans. Obama is smart, moral and a leader. McCain is hot-headed, dishonest and a loser. Hopefully he will never be in politics again and even more hopefully Sarah Palin will be swept away by a glacier.!!!!!

  • Posted By: jlwoodlpn @ 11/04/2008 1:28:18 PM

    I am a 38 year old white female who is a nurse and is voting for McCain, not because he is white but because he stands for what I believe in....... He places his hand over his heart when we pledge allegiance to the flag, he believes that killin babies is wrong and he is a christian!!!!!! Obama will never be my president.....

    • Posted By: kerri_star101 @ 11/04/2008 2:05:27 PM

      Okay...I see where you are coming from...but to say that you will not acknowledge Obama as president even if he does win...that is just wrong! I personally dont want to see Obama win, but at the same time if he does win...I am not going to go around saying all this stuff against him and say he will never be my president...uh..reality check..if he wins...HE WILL BE YOUR PRESIDENT...you'll just have to get over that little hump right there...your loyalty should be to America...no matter who is in office...thats just my view on things...you dont have to agree.

    • Posted By: mimi05 @ 11/04/2008 1:40:45 PM

    YOU KNOW WHAT it is going to be hard for who ever gets in ,the country is all mess up too, its going to take time to fix what BUSH mess up, and its not about races we all have to come together and fix the problem stop with the races thing we all have the same color of blood, so deal with it, or leave our country and make your own.you don't have to be here you know.

    • Posted By: usmcboomman @ 11/04/2008 2:05:08 PM

      i'm not a bush fan either but people are forgetting that all these bills that get passed are created and passed through congress before the president ever sees them. People don't realize its all of government that are creating these problems

  • Posted By: latishahamer @ 11/04/2008 1:43:13 PM

    Some of you are real jerks. If your vote is not about race then why state yours and why call Obama A "boy", i don't care who you vote for. Everyone is entilted to their opinion, but two of you are being very racial. That is not a good sign for our country. Grow up it is a new day and things are different and you need to except change. The last eight years has been the worst and all you two care to think about is race. Check your info and find out what both people stand for, becasue honestly I think you just watch T.V and don't do your own research.

    • Posted By: ppassistant @ 11/04/2008 2:04:41 PM

      I have read the comments of others and I started to feel shame for my country and the people that share the title "American" with me. Thank you so much for the brief but uplifting comment. There are still a few good people that do not feel the need to throw out hate and judgement. Education is the key and it is obvious that alot of Americans lack the ability or desire to use it.

  • Posted By: foley7881 @ 11/04/2008 2:04:28 PM

    Black or white who cares? If we are all that ignorant to choose someone on there skin tone then maybe the British should have won the war. If we cannot all be satisfied to be called Americans and not anglo, african, mexican, asian, native americans then whatever god you choose to belive help us all. I AM NOT WHITE IAM NOT BLACK I AM NOT YELLOW I AM NOT BROWN I AM AN AMERICAN AND PROUD OF IT! Can your canidate say the same. can we foucus on issues and not character attacks.

    What is it with those ???terrorists??? anyway? Why don???t you believe that it is more than just a couple of guys running around in the Iraq desert or the mountains of Pakistan? Hasn???t the world financial debacle as well as the global environmental tragedy shown how our government and the governments of the world are effecting everyone on the planet. And there are people around world who hold us responsible (as they should). Barack Obama will not only provide the leadership in our country for fairness and prosperity, he will go down in history as being one of the greatest world inspirations for all of our common interests and cooperation. And maybe those ???terrorists??? won???t be so mad at us for screwing-up the planet. Regular guy, Chicago

    rep4america...you must be one of the milllions lazy, uneducated, unlicensed "Joe the plumbers" You must have never spend a day in the burning sun of Iraq. You must have never spent a day of you life fighting for our country. But, if you have..then you must have never deployed... Obama will bring the troops home, or atleast out of Iraq, the place you repubs put us. Dont forget McCain agreed with Bush 92% of the time. I dont know what planet you live in, but we as a nation are in trouble...and Bus put us here. as they say...."You can take a thug off the sreets, but you cant take the streets out of the thug." If McCain was with Bush 92% of the time, he'll carry on 92% of Bush's beliefs. GO Obama!

    This is absolutely amazing. I read through these posts and posts from other articles and they are all the same. Let's blame somebody else for our problems. I will tell you the economic problem boils down to two things. INSTANT GRATIFICATION and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. "I want it, I want it now, I deserve it now, and I should not have to sacrifice anything for it. It is my right and it is owed to me." That is what this country has been teaching it's youth for too long. And that is why we are in the economic situation we are in. I know what I make, I know what I can afford, I knew that life delivers bumps in the road, and I did not let some mortgage company convince me that I could borrow three and four times what I was asking for because some formula said that I could. I did not reply to every daily credit card offer that came in the mail, because I did not want to have to take my child to Disneyworld on a credit card. I did not need to have two brand new SUV's sitting in the driveway that would now be sucking up gas that I could not afford. It is not the greed of the bank executives and politicians that put us in this situation. It the greed of American citizens who bit off more than they could chew just because somebody told them they could. For crying out loud, WAKE UP! Quit trying to blame everyone else for these problems to include President Bush (started even before he took office), and look and how YOU put yourself in the situation you are in.

    • Posted By: anonymous08 @ 11/04/2008 2:03:48 PM

      actually most people are not responsible for where they are unfortunate things happen to people, but like I wrote earlier God still has the ultimate say so on what's going to happen to America after election. No matter who's in office as long as I am alive I am Blessed! Poor or rich!

    I believe the best man is Barack Obabma and anyone who thinks that race has nothing to do with is just plain stupid. I had a friend who over heard co-workers saying they could never see themselves voting for an African American and if that is not racism I do not what is! Oh and you say we will be living in a card board box with Barack, wrong under McCain's plan the rich stay rich and he clearly cares nothing for the middle to low class group of people. The only people that seem to be on the defense about the election are republicans with their nobama signs. I do not care who you vote for as long as you do it in a civil and Fair manner!

    On Sunday night, amidst the final hours before Tuesday, Barack Obama lowered the tax break for the American people to 120K as opposed to his promisary 250K. Once Bush's tax break of 6% expires that will increase american taxpayers that difference! He has decived all you you democrats, then again, you were decieved from the start as it is.
    Also, only 3...3 Senators approved of late term abortions (where the mother os induced into labor and a child is born alive) for the infant to be left to die (do not feed or aid). This is stuff of the 3rd Reich Nazi Germany genocide! How cruel and inhumane has our country and our world become?
    I am not against abortion, only late term or "live birth" abortions! You elect a man that condons such actions? What will he do next?
    He IS a muslem...he associates with known terrorists...you trust him with your country, your world? I am so sad for this country and what it is becoming when it supports this character as a leader. You are all sady decieved...

        Where are you getting your information from, Rush Limbaugh? That's like getting the world news from the National Inquirer! Obama voted agains a law that would have held doctors liable for fetuses that were born unviable, meaning they had no chance of survival. That's not the same as approving of letting babies die! The wording in the legislation would have also defined a fetus as a human being, in turn making all abortions illegal. That is why he voted against it. Why don't you try getting your facts straight before you run your mouth. You look really ignorant when you don't. That goes for the muslim comment too. He's not a muslim, but even if he were so what? The terrorist were not muslim's. That's like calling the KKK catholics! The terrorist took an extreme version of a religion and twisted it to conform to their own beliefs. Just like the KKK does. We don't look at them and call them good catholics, and the muslim's look at the terrorists in the same way. Open your mind, and try listening to someone other than Rush for a change!

    I am a firm believer that people get out of life what they put into it. I have worked my butt off in both my undergraduate and graduate coursework and by the time I am completely finished I will be over 80,000 dollars in debt and will have dedicated over 7 years of my life to my education. When I get out into the workforce and begin making decent wages, I don't want to have to contribute my HARD earned money and time, to people who haven't earned it. Too many people abuse the system for me to be confident that my money is actually going to the people who TRUELY need it. If I want my money to go to charitable causes I will donate it as I see fit. I don't need the government to tell me who I need to help.
