    CHANGE IS HAVING SOMEONE NOT NAMED BUSH OR CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS. for a start. I would advise you look up Obama for yourself RED like a responsible citizen and not rely on bloggers.

    IS Obama a Muslim? Wow think Mit Romney had a hard time, I can see the headlines now HOW THE DEMOCRATS LOST A SURE THING!!!! Maybe I am Republican after all tired of backing the wrong side. In a time where it takes a Hollywood producer to get elected, I like O,bama, can tell you how this will play out - Americans will not be comfortable with a muslim president. HOW TO loose a sure thing.

    I AGREE WITH LOU DOBBS - CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK BENEATH THE PIE IN THE SKY 'CHANGE' RAH RAH RHETORIC OF OBAMA AND TELL US EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANS BY CHANGE? ARE FOLKS SO CAUGHT UP IN THE GLOSS THAT THERE IS NO ATTENTION TO SUBSTANCE?? OBAMA REMINDS ME OF THE 60's RALLIES CALLING FOR CHANGE - NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THEN AND ALL THE GLAMOUR IN THE WORLD WON'T MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW - CHANGE TAKES A LOT MORE THAN HAPPY emotional RALLIES - AND YOU CAN TELL THERE IS A LOT OF DISTORTED THINKING HERE BY COMPARING THE CLINTON YEARS TO THE BUSH YEARS - PLEASE - WAKE UP ~!~!~

    The time lag on blogs is disconcerting. Anyone who brings up spelling mistakes on blogs is an idiot. We all type fast and if anyon would care to notice I have tried to be factual and polite.

    i can guarantee that I can back up my claims and my history compared to people who say they are friends of friends.

    Please lookat all my posts. I am not anti Obama as much as I want him to explain how he is really going to solve our problems. Typing fast and spelling errors. Giive me a break --------

    Fox News -- EPO. And, under what circumstances have you seen him cross his hands and look away? Come on now. Who would do that.

    adam in iowa city posted: that's a telling bit of hatred and bitterness for American youth.
    For your information I do not hate anyone. What I despise and hold in utmost contempt is stupidity and ignorance of fact! Especially when the facts are distorted by the emotions and egos that are taller than the Empire State building, in NYT. It is a known fact that most of the youth of America, when compared to the youth of other nations, is lacking in an ability to properly conduct itself in speech, thought, reading and writing and arithmatic........education in this nation takes a lonely back seat to Brittney Spears, and most other scandulous mis adventures..............

      Glass houses: it's arithmetic, not arithmatic. And it isn't the fault of the youth that our educational system is broken. They didn't design and don't run the educational system, or popular culture. Want to know who is to blame for our educational shortcomings? Let's all look in the mirror.

    Shame on you BOPAW if you knew Colin Powell, you should know how to spell his name.

      Late night blogs from europe and the best you can do is spelling. I am trying to stay engaged andif you want to off line to prove facts I am there.

    About Barack Obama;
    Why will Obama not pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
    the flag that men and women, black,white,red and yellow,fought,bled,and died for.
    The flag of the country
    that he wants to be president of but,he wont pledge his allegiance to it.
    what the hell is up with this?
    Please let m know.
    I have never seen him pledge only cross his hands and look away.
    PLEASE GIVE ME SOME
    FEEDBACK.

    lingside there is much with which to disagree with what you said. I doubt anyone would disagree.
    The debate is who can get it done; and how can there be a moderate muslim. ~There are moderate Muslims but they do it by choice not by doctrine. Please read the Koran and what it says for it is explicit. There are moderate Musilms but it is not a moderate religion. If you have any female relatives you will be repulses immediately.

    I don't trust Obama, he doesn't respect or acknowledge the American flag or the Pledge of Aligence, so how can he run the Whole United States. Also remember the terroists said they would bring the US down from within and Obama could be their in.

    • Posted By: adam in iowa city @ 01/07/2008 6:48:45 PM

      Fertgirl, turn off Fox news and get a breath of fresh air. Obama doesn't disrespect the flag, or the pledge, and God knows there are more substantive issues out there to think about. We shouldn't fetishize the symbols of the nation at the expense of what really counts. To paraphrase Samuel Johnson, that kind of patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. Such cynical pandering is a far more dangerous threat to American values than any boogey man/terrorist.

    BOAPW if you knew Colin Powell, you should at least know how to spell his name.

  • Posted By: av3who @ 01/07/2008 6:42:00 PM

    You knew "Collen Powell" yet spelled his name wrong BOAP? Your credibility is dwindling with each post. Did you even attempt to research Obama's foreign policy first hand like a responsible citizen or do you always rely on blogging?

    I am seventeen years old and I love to see all the blogs from all you so called older more knowledgable adults. I am really sick of all these insults to younger people that I am finding, like "Obama's little kids" etc. I find it interesting that older Americans don't mind if that we fight YOUR wars or serve your fast food, but the minute we use our constitutional voices you get frightened. Wake up! Young people are the reason for the success of many of our country's progressive movements in history. We are the ones who are brave and fearless ready to make the important steps in history--you guys don't even wanna learn how to use a cell phone! Hopefully in 40-50 years we will be able to make some real progress in this; when most of you are dead or irrevelant.

    ToChij: policy without abilty to execute is retoric. The lack of history and historical perspictive clouds the US voters. Unfortunately the US electoral system choses canidats way to early. Neither Iowa nor NH are reflecitve of the US and we end with polar canidates.

    My engagement is only to highlight that once again we will end with bad choices. I have many years ago moved my money and my life outcomet off shore. I do not trust either party to do the right thing. Obama is not an outsider and his is obliging to special intterests as all the rest.

    We wil be presented with an outcome that has nothing to do with what we need.

    Obama is a dictator. Please to do not be confused by his speeches.

    I won't vote for him, looks like the republicans have done it again.
