Obama's Creative Clippings

seriously? i am sick and tired of the people in this country wanting everything. if you want health insurance go out and get it. if its to high quit smoking. duh. what is going on with this country. whatever happen to pride? i work my husband works and my baby is being taken care of by a sitter. we struggle like the best of them and yet i have my own health insurance. i cant belive anyone would want the government to control one more other thing. health insurance that is controlled by the government is failure. do your research. look at canada. hospitals shut down because of it. we already have 14 hospitals that are shut down here because the government cant control the illegals. what makes you think they can control this? when you depend on opther people what does that make you? i believe in helping people who wont take advantage. and they (the dems) believe in helping people so the will be dependant. why do you want to depend on someone you already *** about. dont say you dont *** about the government. the only reason the are supoose to be in exsistance is because they are "supose" to protect and serve. thats it. no handout. no all up in your business. protect and serve. protect and serve. if they cant do that then dont trust them with you health. one more thing.... did you know if they take over healthcare it will take 30 days to get a mri when it should take 1.

Obama seems like a good guy and seems to talk a good talk, but doesn't have the experience to back up what he's saying. I'm not voting for the most popular people like Hilary because of who's she's married to or Obama because he'd be something new having a black President. I won't vote for any President that doesn't understand the value of human life and would approve of anyone murdering unborn babies. He says that he is a Christian, but he does not have any interest in preserving the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. I agree with a comment made earlier by someone. We need to make health care affordable for everyone and work on preventative maintenance instead of trying to fix problems once the condition is the worst and the most expensive. We need a President that believes in this and understands the people on a level few experience. One that seems to be successful in their years of experience. We need Mike Huckabee. I am not Democratic or a Republican. I'm for whoever will stand up for truth and he seems to be the one that has impressed me the most with his consistency and great integrity.

I can nt believe that the people who lived through the 90's and had to deal with White Water, Jennifer Flowers , Monica and so much soap opera are so willing to return to it. There was so much going on behind closes doors that it was a wonder that anything got done. We have the opportunity to elect a person who is trying to be forthright, not perfect. He may stumble and he may not be able to please everyone, but he and his wife are capable of making a great deal more income in the private sector and I can not believe he is putting himself through this just too be "the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT", by the way he is bi-racial and people seem to ofrget he has been raised by white grandparents as well as BLack. He has lived in various economic level and did not get his education from a wealthy parent who wrote a check. I am going to say that he will do everything right, but I MYSELF as a WHITE FEMALE OVER FIFTY want to give him a Shot.

Universal health care would be great except for 1 thing. It would be run by the government which means it will become a bloated, corupt and mismanaged disater for those of us who are here legally and live within out means!

I truly wish that I could post a comment that would be read. I wish that real people had a voice in this election.
When I hear Barack speak, I feel proud once again to ba an American. I have HOPE in the future of our country and the world. I don't want to be ruled by a dynesty, a Clinton machine. I want to shout to everyone that we can again offer the world a light of peace, leadership based upon mutual trust and compromise. MY prayer is that this election is decided upon the real issue facing our great country and the world and not on race, sympathy, or gender.

Just by being himself - Obama would improve our standing in the world almost overnight. When was the last time that the face of the USA on the world stage was anything other than a white male? Try - "NEVER"! One could argue that Hillary would also be a change from that history, but in the eyes of the world, she's "another Clinton", for good or ill. My son just returned from an extended stay in various foreign countries and the people he met overseas was "I thought America was the epitome of Democracy, yet you'll be going from Bush to Clinton to Bush and now back to Clinton?! Apparently the political machine really controls who runs your country, not the votes of the people."

As for "universal health care", Obama's plan would cover all who currently can't afford insurance - ergo, providing universal coverage for all who want health insurance. After all, this isn't a Communist society where everyone MUST be covered, whether they want to be or not.

Our only real hope of turning this country back over to the people is to elect Mr. Obama. He does not have "Washington Insider" experience and that is a very good thing!

This is a time for each of us to stay united, black and white. Of all the corny slogans that the Rev. Jesse Jackson, has made famous, remember United we stand, Divided we fall. It is true. This is one time for the old stereotypes of black leaders to keep race out of this discussion. 97% of White America in Iowa saw something in Barack Obama. They didn't see him as white or black, but a man offering a vision of hope that they could believe in. It is not relevant who if anyone his mother named him after. Today, people call their kids all sorts of names that are equally difficult to pronounce. Barack Obama deserves our respect and has shown through his character, initiative and work ethic where his desires and passions lie. By speaking for poor people, the uninsured, people who have lost jobs with companies moving overseas, people who want a chance at a college education and speaking out against the war in Iraq, he will be working to help all people who are suffering and a large percentage of the people who will benefit will be black people. For all the progress and opportunity in America, there are many areas where black people suffer from crime ridden areas, live in substandard housing and can not afford a college education. This time, black people will have to stop the labeling and realize that if we want white America to think of us as equal, this election needs to transcend black and white. I believe this is why the Clinton campaign introduced race, because they know it can split the voters. Let???s be smart and focus on the issues that affect Americans of all colors and vote for the candidate that we feel wants to bring about change to the politics as usual in Washington. I believe in Barack Obama. Listen to his wife speak about the causes he fights for and why he is running. They both are passionate and share a vision that we can all be proud of. Will we ever rise above issues of race in America?

After all the comments I have read, I didn't find one fact that qualifies Obama for president. Can anyone tell me what he has voted for or against while he was in the senate or has a governor? I think every candidate should post everything they have contributed to during their time of service. I think this would give the voter the opportunity to make up their own mind and not allowed the media to only present to us their bias opinions of the candidates. How many of us can honestly say , that the knowledge we have of the candidates it's the one we receive from the media? How many of us have done our homework to really find out what they have done to make this country a better one?

As we watch and wait to learn who our nominees will be, I can't help but think to myself that there's only one man who can
really help our country.

Let's get real folks, we have more critical problems facing our country that I can remember in my 60 years.
There is the economy which according to the specialists is about do down the toilet. We have wars raging,
the lack of adequate healthcare for millions, unemployment increasing, mortgage meltdowns and the list goes on.
Each of these problems is extremely serious as are the issues I didn't mention.

We don't just need a new president, we need a miracle! the miracle is out there but a good many people haven't yet
seen the light. Now more than ever before, I believe the most critical quality we need is a president is the ability to
unite the people of this country in the most dire time since our country began. We must keep our people united to
prevent Chaos. Together we can reach the stars, divided we will fail.

The only Candidate who can deliver on "unity" is Barack Obama. This man transcends race and gender... he is the miracle man
and I believe that god game him to us now at the hour of our greatest need.

Just think, he was barely known, yet he has been able to give the almighty Clinton's much to worry about. To me, the answer
is simple... Obama is the MAN for us now! Before we can go ahead and resolve all these tragic problems, we must put our
differences aside and unite as one people!

God Speed Obama... GOD SPEED!
