Senator Obama keeps speaking about a change and I do believe this country is in dire need of a change However after all of his chit chatting I still am confused as to what Mr. Obama stands for. He has yet to clearly define what his plans for change is. I am a bit disheartened by the fact that he has yet to give me a concise picture as to what he sees for our country. This makes me a bit hesitant to trust him with our presidency!

That real-estate deal calls his judgment into question. Especially when he is using the word “judgment” a lot in reference to Hillary.

Unfortunately, In my opinion, that small mistake might have blown his cover. Because, it is exactly those types of deals evil politicians make every day.

Sorry Barack, even simpletons know not to enter into real-estate deals with people currently under indictment.

Anyone who can’t hide the fact that they have a personal grudge cannot be our next president. It was shameful for Obama not to shake Hillary’s hand. A future president should be able to hide his personal feelings. This does not bode well for Obama.

Obama will lose this nomination due to the fact that his major supporters are young kids who don’t get out there to register and vote! We finally have a chance to change the face of politics and we will miss this opportunity because their are too many idiots out there not registered! Obama is finally someone ready to make a change for the people and he will miss this opportunity! What a shame!

I just read an article on Obama and he seems so down to earth! He said that his first plan in office is to reform health care. For someone like me who lived without insurance for over 5 years this is vitally important! He also said he would begin withdrawing troops in Iraq. Obama clearly knows what this country needs! He is the man for the job!

Evelyn , what are you talking about? First Health care? What about the fact that our dollar is at its all time low? What about the fact that more people are living below the poverty line than ever before while more and more jobs are being outsourced every day? Also, who cares if Obama is down to earth? I only care if he can run the country!

He obviously does not have such a great judge of character if his top adviser is foolish enough to call senator Clinton a monster publicly. Then she said “off the record” as if she could trust the tv reporters? How foolish! If he trusted her than how can we trust him to run our country? Maybe their is something to be said for the Clinton commercial. Maybe I don’t want him on the phone when that call comes!

He can pass as many policies as he wants and have a plan of action, but that does not make you right for the Commander in Chief position. He has no experience and can not relate to the life of the soldier so how can our soldiers look up to him? How can people look to him to get us out of Iraq? He is neither ready nor capable for the job. McCain is the only one with the experience and the confidence to protect our troops!

Finally coming out with his racism speech! Too bad it was too late he is now behind in the polls! How can you excuse a reverend you have been listening two for the last 20 years by equating him to your grandma’s racism? True you may not believe your grandma but she is your blood you have to keep her in your family. To come back to a church that spews hatred week after week seems an entirely different entity all together. You are now making the conscious choice attend and listen to this man. He is not your family America better be careful!

Senator Obaba is sounding good, but the Rezco decision sticks out like a sore thumb. In addtion, the statement his wife made about being ashamed of this country is outrageous. She must have gotten carried away in the moment, just like when Hillary Clinton said she was dodging sniper fire in Bosnia.

I understand that the campaign trail is a strenous trek, but its not like these millionaires have real jobs. They are not coal miners, lumberjacks or front line infantry in Iraq. And they are trying to portray each other as eliteists when they are all rich and out of touch with regular people.

The man for change could not change the minds of the people of Pennsylvania. While he lost by a huge margin Obama is still the man for the job. Its sad that we have reached the point that we must now go to the convention. Obama is the change our country needs to get out of recession and back to the once great country that we were and will be again!

This whole Rev Wright issue needs to end. We have all been around people that we don’t agree with but that does not shape who we are. So what if he was in the church for 20 years. People have been worshiping the Pope for decades and his stance on gays and women’s rights are deplorable. Billy Graham was also very controversial in some of his political views yet he stood by as spiritual adviser to many presidents. The point is that if this is the ONLY point they have that makes Barak not a good choice for President then they have no point. Its time to focus on the issues

Senator Obama, great job on addressing the environment and saying that you will sit down with Al Gore to discuss how to help. He should be an integral part of the team. You show that you understand the importance of saving our environment and the threat of global warming on this planet. You have my vote!

Obama may still be the guy to have a strong chance to be our next president……….if he could get Hillary to withdraw and support him……he can overcome all the negative issues & put those behind him. We definitely do not need McCain in office……..our country is already in shambles and MCcain will just make it worst if he gets in. People need to realize that Obama is our only chance to repair this country & the people

Senator Obama should not even bother to respond to the ignorance of the NEW Yorker cartoon. It is so ridiculous that American’s would still believe that he was a Muslim terrorist. The part that makes us ignorant is the fact that people in this day an age would have a problem if he was Muslim. Not all Muslims are terrorists people. and its a shame that we live in a world where people still think this

After watching last night’s televised show with Pastor Warren, Obama’s performance reflects how inexperienced he is compared to McCain. His answers were definitely did not impressive. I dont care what all the strategists says, Obama did not come close to McCains experienced and knowledgeable responses and McCains answers came from his heart he was very passionate for his love for this country. I hope the voters remember that Michelle Obama’s ridiculous comment ” that for the first time she is proud to be an American”, where was she living all the time? she only became proud of America when her husband got nominated, give me a break somebody!………….and she calls her an American!!.Obama is only in this presidential race for the celebrity status & history, in a way you can perceive he is a bit like John Edwards all fluff & and no depth, & so pretensive!!! mark my words if Obama wins, this country will be worst off, we will all look back and say Bush wasnt so bad after all!! Obama is going to raise taxes on the middle class, watch out Obama voters!!!

I have a lot of theories about a lot of things… I have been accused of being long winded, and have sometimes suffer from foot in mouth disease. But the thing about me is that I feel that I look at the world clearly, and see it for what it is, and most people look at it only from their own narrow perspective. I tell it like it is, some people like it, and some people don’t.

I think it is sad what America has become lately. It seems that lately… Republicans fall into two categories… Dumb followers (hear me out)… and big money corporate snobs.

I don’t believe that is what the Republican Party is meant to be, but it is certainly what it has become.

The dumb, blind followers are the people I describe as living in the middle (middle of nowhere most of the time), but what I mean is the middle of our country. They are for the most part blue collar workers, many of which are having problems now with employment, due to the nature of our current economy, and due to the changes that the world is undergoing now in terms of globalization, computers, progress and growth. Many have complaints about healthcare, complaints about taxes, complaints about jobs… and yet these are the same people that put Bush in the WhiteHouse TWICE!!! And many of the problems they face are directly related to the Bush administrations failure to move AMerica forward. They are bible thumpers, who believe what they believe, and listen to nothing else. THey have an extremely narrow life experience, most never leaving the small area where they grew up, they resist change… and they have long lines of Republicans in their families… they have been taught what they have been taught… and they blindly follow like dumb little soldiers. They take politics very seriously (to their credit). The ALWAYS vote, and they ALWAYS vote Republican…. right down the line… cause, that’s just how tis y’all.

THis group that I describe in the above paragraph hate Obama for lots of reasons. He’s black (God help us, get out the chain for the back of your pick up truck), they are out of touch with the kind of person he is (from a mixed backround, self made man, highly educated, forward thinker). They are afraid of what he represents. Which is what bigotry really is… Hate is FEAR… fear of the unknown, fear of cultures that are different from your own (which is WHY these people have no desire to visit other lands, experience other cultures, they see them as backward barbarians…. even though it is from these other cultures that America has evolved… but they are generations out of touch with that, because they are out of touch, literally, as I outlined earlier). They are using these fears to spread these crazy Muslim rumors (among others)… which I agree with the previous postings… even if he were a Muslim (which he so happens NOT to be…) but if he were… so what? But to these people, goin’ out back to shoot some bottles off the back fence, is their idea of a good ole time… and these people are largely in control of our elected officials.. and this really scares me.

Now I explain the second group, the big money corporate snobs. Now, these people are Republican for a different set of reasons. THey would have you believe that Democrats are big government, fiscally loose, bleeding heart liberal, spenders. That can only harm this country, not help it. This is a JOKE. If you look a the way Republicans have SPENT our money in the last 8 years, and have turned our record Surplus into debt, and the support of the WORLD (after Sept. 11th) into HATRED…. It has never happened in the history of this nation, that in such a short amount of time (only 8 years) our country has taken such a sharp turn downward. Never before has world opinion about the U.S. been so low, never before has our economy changed for the worse so sharply, and never before has a sitting President ever been hated (both domestically and abroad) so much.

These corporate snobs( as I call them) would have you believe that Obama as President (or any Democrat) hurts this country. They would have you believe that He will raise our taxes, to pour money into bleeding heart social programs, so that wetback spanish kids can go to Harvard…. and my friends… that’s just not so. But people like this ALSO have a lot of power (because they run all of the corporations that support this nations economy), they ALSO have traditionally always voted Republican, and the ALSO are unwilling to listen to what OBAMA IS REALLY SAYING!

Obama appeals to people because he is looking at the US from different eyes. Not through the eyes of someone that has a personal agenda (Hillary, George Bush finishing the legacy of his father and trying to create his own legacy), but as someone that sees our nations clearly. Sees the waning image of America through the world’s eyes clearly, and sees this as his opportunity to make things better. To return America to the beacon of prosperity and progress that it used to be.

Obama recognizes, and fully admits, that the changes that need to be made like Reforming Healthcare, and Developing new forms of Energy, and Improving Education so that we can compete with the world again TAKES MONEY !!!!!! Someone has to pay for these changes, the money has to come from somewhere. And the Republicans never mention this at all.

Obama believes, as I do, that we are one nation, and we are ALL collectively responsible for it’s welfare, and it’s upkeep. And in fact these are the basic principals that this nation was built on. I fall into the same group (financially) as these corporate snobs. I fall into that top tier percentage who’s minor tax increase will help pay for many of the programs that need to be reformed to move America forward. But unlike these Republican fools. I recognize that it is my responsibilty to do what I can for our nation, and that my money will not (or at least shouldn’t be) squandered. I also recongnize that these nickels and dimes do not, at all, interfere with my quality of life.

I am lucky to live where I do. Nowhere else in the world can a person own a parcel of land as large as mine (mind you I live on less than 1/2 acre). But in other nations… including very rich nations like France, Norway, Germany, Italy etc. People of my income live in apartments…. and that’s just how it is. There just isn’t enough land to go around. People in the middle of this country are CERTAINLY out of touch with that… spoiled as they are on their sprawling ranches that have been in their families for generations. Nowhere else does a person have the ability to come from nothing, and turn themselves into something. To start a small business, with an idea in their head.. and become Microsoft, or Google. The fact that The United States has allowed me to live the way I do, enjoy the freedoms that I have, earn a decent wage, and own my little parcel of paradise… I RECOGNIZE that it is MY RESPONSIBILTY to give back. It’s basically the “pay it forward” belief. ANd no one in politics has ever represented this model better than Obama.

It is not about pretty words and sweeping speeches. It is true that we many times choose leaders on their ability to capture us with their captivating public performances (Clinton, Kennedy, Reagan, Martin Luther King) Although surely Bush is not an example of this.. don’t even get me started. Bush is just a dumb bum son of a rich guy,(who happened to be president.)and who’s daddy bought him his education, his station in society.. and somehow weaseled his way into the most important job in the world. Appealing to the Bible Thumpers (of course), and the Corporate snobs alike. He was in many ways like their own rich children.

Obama knows that America is just a PARCEL of the world, and in order to truly be powerful, we have to understand the agendas and the needs of other nations. ANd leading by example is the way to gain peoples respect. Not by squishing them down. You don’t bash someone over the head and say “I have the money, and I am the big dog here, so you guys just have to live the way we say you should live, and agree with the policies that WE SAY you should agree with, and since we have the power and you don’t, that’s just how it’s gonna be”

It is that attitude over that last sevral years that has isolated from our neighbors. Canada, England and Australia included… The reason the United States has such power to begin with is becuase we have always LED BY EXAMPLE. Other nations like Germany, England, France… have watched us grow and prosper, and indeed many nations throughout the world have adopted ouir way of governing, and have come around to Americas progressive way of thinking. Americans have always been known as the “give us your tired, your hungry, your poor” “do not disciminate do to sex, color or religion” Only recently have other nations begun to accept this way of thinking (slowly) And now… it seems as though our country is SLIDING BACKWARDS. Obama is the man to move us forward again.

We are a nation of immigrants, always have been… and over the last several years, our Goverments tactless spending, and failure to turn their attention to the overwhelming pouing in of illegal immigrants from the south… has caused a balance problem. And due to this recent large influx of immigrants to the South…. many Americans view immigrants, in general, as Spic criminals. And this is a very distorted and bigoted way of thinking. Indeed we STILL have immigrants from all over the world…. It’s just that the people in the middle never see them. And if they happen to see a Chinese person by accident… they’d silently pray for God to recognize the error of their heathon ways.. and if they saw a Persian in a turban… they’d run in fear.

The fact is that it is the current administration that is largely to blame for our current immigration imbalance. And instead of saying “get the hell out” and “learn English” and all that CRAP… how about we do something about it. How about we recognize that the people we have here now are HERE. and that’s that. Lets DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. Lets make changes to the system to address the newer problems with immigration in recent decades. Lets address how to educate these masses, give them the tools to turn themselve into productive AMericans.. which lets face it…. is what they came here for. It’s not THEIR FAULT… it’s ours. How about we support Mexico, and help them reform their corrupt governtment, so that so many people there, don’t feel that they HAVE to come here to put food on the table. How about we enforce our current immigration laws, instead of just hoping that fleeing foreigners nicely respect our borders, and don’t take that walk across the line. YOu don’t see Canadians pouring in… why do you suppose that is?

We have the problems that we have! It’s time to stop denying them (global warming, or dependence on oil, imbalanced immigration, collapsing housing market, job losses, poor world opinion) How ABOUT WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! ??? There’s a concept.

Obama approaches all of these problems in a different way. INdeed, many of HIllary’s policies (and other Democrats’ ) are similar. But it is Obama’s unique approach that makes him different. His abiltiy to listen and reach out. His ability to recognize that the problems exist, take them on… and come up with ideas and solutions on how to pay for the changes that need to take place. And the fact that he is able to communicate his ideas so clearly…. is indeed… just icing on the cake. He is not all fluff and no substance. Obama is all substance, with the gift of GAB… well HOORAY for us! Finally! Light at the end of the tunnel.

I am not such an idealist that I think he can single handedly solve all of our problems. But I KNOW that he’ll try, and he’ll take them on.. one at a time. Indeed most presidential legacys are defined long after they have left office. Someone has to START the process.

Let’s give him four years… that’s all it is! If we feel he’s doing the job, we can give him four more. That’s what’s so great about this nation! One man does not run a nation, it’s a group of people that run the administration (certainly this is true of Bush as well, because he’s dumb as a rock, so certainly their are others turning many of the wheels). But the figure head that is in charge (the President) is indeed the face of our nation. And that FACE ALONE is very important. The fact that Obama is so Revered all over the world… IS A GOOD THING….!!! The world is breathing a sigh of relief. They are thinking “finally America has come to it’s senses”. That’s why millions of people line up to hear Obama speak. The world is still rooting for us.. but not for long. It is up to us to turn it around.

What we have been given here in this nation, can easily be taken away. WE are not an island, we are part of the world. We need to get back on track before it’s too late. MC Cain is benign… and indeed the best candidate that the Republicans could have put forward. But his policies are still stuck in the past, and from the world perspective, it would be “more fo the same” and indeed a step BACKWARD. Where what America needs is a step forward.

I’m lucky. I drive a beautiful convertible, have a pool in my yard, my kid’s education will be paid for (I am also the daughter of an immigrant from Communist Europe, who fully understands and has experiences repression first hand). I know I am lucky, and I am the BIGGEST PATRIOT you will ever find, and now it’s my turn to give back. I am voting for Obama, and I hope that I have convinced some of you to do the same.

it is amazing that white people are racist enough to feel guilty to vote for a guy because he is black. never mind his racist friends, land deals that will cost us now for a bail out, slashes to the military, return to communist Russia, hiding his pot smoking and drug dealings during his time at columbia. none of that matters. pay no attention to what he has done. pay no attention to his friends. pay no attention to his votes. pay no attention to his thoughts about becoming a socialist society. none of that matters. hell, why not vote my dog into office. he has less dirt on him than obama. all you losers want to hear about “equal opportunity”. Well, how about doing just that. put on the blinders and look at both of these guys without color. if john mccain was black, would you vote for him? if obama was white would you vote for him? i am an equal opportunity ass hole. i hate all of them, equally. when a guy speaks and has more “uh” and “um” than content, i have to worry about his brain functions. i believe he has something wrong and should release his medical records. how about his transcripts. how about explaining in something other than a long winded lawyer speak drivil about his cocain use. again, we have a dope head wanting the national security codes. that crap happened in the 90’s. do you want another “page” stain on a dress? this guy has never made a tough decision except how will i destroy the other guy today. how about something that shows some character. sorry, forgot i was talking about a lawyer. knowing that he only lies when his lips move escaped me there for a second. what about you hippies that like him because he is “fresh” and “new”. have you blinded yourself to the fact that he earns enough money in one year to keep you in dope for a lifetime. he is the corporation. he is the man. he is the one you hate. he is the rich bastard that keeps you down. what about you on the south side. are you safer now because of this organizationizer. is crime down, are drug dealers fewer, are you able to walk the streets easier. what did he do to make you safer in your home. take off the black/white glasses and look around. new york and los angeles does not constitute the country as a whole. the world “hates” us because of you freaks on the coast that are more concerned about what the government will do for you than what you can do for your own fellow man. your overindulgences into sex and drugs, your grasps for power, your inability to understand self reliance; these are the things that the rest of the world hates. it is what they see on tv and in print. you continue to be concerned about what a homosexual feels about what color is on your walls of the house. no wonder they look at us this way. of all the people from other countries that get past the crap of the east/west coast and see the middle of this country, they walk away with an appreciation of this country. they call you east/west coasters “freaks”. rightly so. there are things that are foreign to you that i will cover quickly: honor, integrity, self reliance, loyalty, dignity. i know these are strange and unspoken words for you. don’t try them all at once. you will explode. just take it a day at a time. now, go ahead and vote for who you “feel” better about. or, take some time and use that grey matter that keeps your ears from touching and consider that obama is not for blacks. he is for the same white good ol boy system.

Obama is a slick as oil or oh so smooth! You can tell that he is so evasive is his answers, because he is a suave orator he could lie his way thru and convince people to believe what he says, he is a typical car salesman! While MCCain is no cup of tea either, it is really troubling that we will have an Obama administration………Look at how he answers ‘Joe the plumber’ question, Joe has worked his ass off and for Obama to tell him that he wants to take Joe’s success by taxing him more to give to those who doesnt even pay taxes! For all you young Liberals who are voting for Obama, you really dont understand his entire policy, you are captured by Obama as he is young, attractive, a celebrity status in Hollywood, he is fluent and talks a good talk and has ran a very good campaign, too bad Hillary isnt representing the Dems instead or even Joe Biden as the Prez nominee!

A reciept from the waldorf signed by Michele Obama surfaced recently and it was 400 bucks for an afternoon snack! meanwhile thousands of children die daily from poverty..

Sorry if this is long winded, but I KNOW that it would NEVER occur to me whatever my financial situation to spend almost $500 on a snack! People are not what they seem, whether Republicans or Democrats their ambitions aspire to MORE POWER – MORE GREED!

I feel the sadness of the world and the poverty-stricken conditons that so many live in. I can relate so very well, we grew up POOR – many times we went without food, walked barefoot for miles in the hot burning sun, come rain or shine my mom made us go. Many mornings we barely had enough to eat – I remember days when I would hide from my classmates during lunch, because I hadn’t any. I used to be embarrassed by my story – but not anymore. I realize it prepared us for life and the opportunites and the trials that as adults we faced. We had no Dad to provide for us, and when he was around he was drunk and abusive. I don’t ever remember going to a private doctor growing up. Mom made the bush tea, lanced our boils and sent us on our “merry” way. If we absolutely had too it was to the public clinic- no need to go into the kind of care we got there.
Now we all could do our part, I humbly submit that the 10 percent of our income that we give our Church for Humanitarin efforts around the world does help me to sleep better at night. Once a month we are asked to give up two meals and donate that money to the poor and homeless in our community. I would like to do so much more if we could, right within our own families there are those who are struggling – I truly believe that charity begins at home also. I believe the experiences we had as children and teenagers growing up with so little helped us to be truly grateful for all that we have. I believe ( and I speak for most of my siblings) that we feel more deeply and compassionately for those in need. So, my story could be anyone of those 30,000 children who are starving now, there is so much more, I know that when I read “Angela’s Ashes” so much of it was deja vu.

I think the country will see Obama’s Presidency as a huge mistake through the lens of time. He is going to break the back of this country, both financially and as an economic system as he moves into a European Socialistic model. It will have grave consequences and destroy the fabric of America’s historical success. Unfortunately, I think most of America is unsuspecting until it becomes too late.

THE PRESIDENT CAN WRITE MANY EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO CORRECT MANY OF THE PROBLEMS INCLUDING IN THE DEPT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS SUCH AS VIOLATING FEDERAL LAWS ON VA CLAIM NOT INCLUDING U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. HE CAN ORDER THE JUSTICE DEPT TO ARRESTS CORRUPT VA CLAIMS PROCESSING PERSONNEL. HE SAYS A LOT ABOUT CHANGE BUT I SEE NO EXECUTIVE ORDER ACTIONS ON THE MAJORITY OF PROBLEMS IN THE USA THAT HE CAN CORRECT BY WRITING EXECUTIVE ORDERS. I WANT TO GIVE HIM GOOD RATINGS BUT I SEE NO HONEST AND REAL ACTION. ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THEN WORDS AND NO ACTION SAYS THE HELL WITH YOU ALL.

obama seemed concerned when a reporter asked if he were a socialist. He may need to re-evaluate his actions and look up the definition of a socialist as he is clearly leaning in that direction. I think he will cause severe irreversible harm to this country with his “change”. the people elected him for a change, not to change our way of life and/or government. he has misread the voters and will most likely be a one term president. that is unless, acorn is allowed to continue on its voter fraud.

When he was elected into office, I hoped that he would be a good president and make the “change” for the positive. We all know that there needed to be change in the United States but I never thought his change was to have the government control our country in every aspect. I think that it is time for the “average Joe” to run for president. We need to do away with the high society, never lived in the reall world people and have someone that knows what the world is like by experiance.

Why does everything have to be done yesterday. No time to see or read or understand; just do! That does not work. There is no transparency and not every single action your administration wants has to be put into action without a plan. It started with mortgage bailout that helped the banks but became the newest scam for the people who needed your help most. You are failing us one by one; action by action. Look before you leap – it is a long way down to a hole that you may never get out of.

It is too late, we are now a communist country. Obama already controls the banks. This country runs on money, he who contros the money is in control. He now wants to controll our health care, I wonder why it is that Canadians, come to our country for health care, when goverment health care is so good. Obama has made it clear that he feels that it is our foult that terorist attack us, not the terrorist foult. I gues we sould have moved the towers so that they would not hit them. He fills that we are the bad guys, and the terrorist are the victoms. WE ARE IN TROUBLE, WITH A LEASER LIKE THIS!!!!!

I was reading these comments just now, and I realized that at first there was no negative comments, then a few, and now all are negative. Hmm. I wonder why that is? Maybe it’s because of huge tax hikes like cap and trade, the sheer cost of healthcare that will leave some americans still un-insured, or meddling with economy, or the bailouts and stimulus, which I believe are both payoffs to the unions and others that helped get him into office.

Anyone who is a realist knows that politics relies on a you scratch my back-I scratch yours, system. Obama pretended to be above that, but when it costs 18 million to redesign recovery.gov, and the house majority leader had thousands donated to his campaign by the same company that DOES NOT LIST WEB DESIGN AS ONE OF THEIR SERVICES

Many years ago in history there was a leader who was popular with a small following . He later became the leader of his nation , took over the banks and financial institutions. He also called for a group of loyal patriots to be his private army. He then proceeded to take over all the major industries. He then made the country rely on him for everything like health care. Sounds a lot like Obama. That man was Adolf Hitler

The only reason why he wants to pass these health care bill is to protect the future interest of the democratic party, In other words giving care to the illegals will buy votes so they can say in power. Look at social security, its broke and mismanaged. Medicare, its broke. What program has worked. There is to much greed in washington. Let Ted Kennedy be the test rat for this new program…

We must get Obama out of Office. I believe we all can since he is not a born American Citizen. Yes he showed a certificate of birth, but that only says he was born. He has not shown a Birth Certificate statine where and doctor etc. Hawaii was probably paid to give him a certificate of birth. He was NOT born in Hawaii, nor has he shown his credentials of education. He refused to show his transcript probably because he either has none or they are bad, or forged. Obama is a phony. We must de-elect him. Obama was born in Kenya when his mother was too young to come to the US plus too pregnant for the flight. He was not born here, which is reason we should not have abide by his leadership. WE MUST GET HIM OUT OF OFFICE!!!!!! HE IS NAZI, ANOTHER HITLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE MUST FIGHT!!!!!!!!!

I don’t like Obama not because he is black or a minority, I don’t like him because of where he stands on the issues. He is a ultra-liberal politican who came to power promising CHANGE, and never delivered. He spends our tax dollars faster than the Treasury can print money. He appoints CZARs who have the most tainted backgrounds and beliefs. He can’t speak without a teleprompter in front of him, and he wants government to be the solution for everything. Heck, I bet he has never read the heatlhcare or cap and trade bills, yet he unknowingly support them 100%. He says he is responsible to get healthcare right, but in fact, he will not be. When our healthcare cost go up due to the fees and mandates by the federal government, and we all end up with government run healthcare, will be personally take responsibility for all the people who will suffer and die going through US Healthcare? My mother and mother-in-law both died because of Massachusetts Healthcare constraints. We tried to bring them to Nebraska for better treatment, yet Mass denied them, stating they would have to pay for the treatments themselves. Both died of goverment neglect.

That’s right, I don’t hate Obama because he is black, I hate him because he is stupid and dangerous to the US.

After reading some of the thoughtful quotes by the left leaning commentators I am shocked to see the the jig is up. They have seen through our thin veil, right to the heart of the matter….that we don’t want to help people. We just don’t care about anyone except our own greedy beating hearts. Spoken like a true dependent. You will never set free the possibilities of others because you are too busy limiting them, “helping” them, and letting them know that it’s OK, big brother is here to help. What you don’t tell them is the cost of the “free” help with loss of freedom, opportunity, soul, and spirit. Live free or die once meant something in this country, and it should again. God Bless America. The best place on earth for the soul to soar! (and I’m [still] free to help people everyday as I see fit)

First Lady Requires More Than Twenty Attendants

Dr. Paul L. Williams

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, ” Michelle Obama

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.

How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public:

1. $172,2000 – Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
2. $140,000 – Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
3. $113,000 – Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary)

Simply put, he is the WORST “president” in the history of the United States !!! The people he surrounds himself with are disgracefull. His attacks against EVERY person who disagrees with him seems more like that of Hitler. And what’s with all the media who just BOW DOWN his evil agenda, and everything he stands for. Fox News is the ONLY element of the media that refuses to kiss his feet ! And I thank them for maintaining the responsibility and integrity that journalism is supposed to represent. Without them, journalism would be dead in America.

I just wish I could understand how a man born in Kenya could possibly be elected to the “presidency” of the USA. With this in mind, everything he’s done since Jan. 20, 2009, will hopefully become NULL AND VOID. January 10, 2010, may indeed be his “Waterloo”.

Furthermore, what happened to his “transparency” of government ? Upon further consideration, perhaps that is the ONLY campain promise he kept. He’s transparent alright. You “CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH HIM”. Then there’s the issue that there will be no lobbyists from the insurance and health care industry in his “administration”. Well it seems that these same lobbyists are the very core of his “advisors”.

His transparency….well, maybe his Presidential class….welll, maybe not that, but his patriotism and pride in America, well maybe not that, but his friends…well not those, but his experience in office….well, not that, but what about his lovely wife…..NOPE…but his fiscal responsibility…..wow, way off there….he did take over General Motors….oh, that’s right, they WERE a private company, but he DID buy lots of union votes…he is tough on illegals….NO? Well, he is tough on our own Military men and women….and, ah, he really likes Muslams…that’s cool….and he admits that his dad was a British subject when he was born….and even though that makes HIM a British subject and NOT a natural born citizen qualified to be President….but what the heck…..Constitution be damned…right. I know, I got one, he just ordered banks to make more subprime loans, even though that is what got us in this mess, and there is the perfect medical health care bill that HE was able to create in only 4 short months…..well, it does have some flaws, but it will only affect EVERYONE in this nation for generations, so why take the time necessary to really come up with a really good one?
IF THERE IS TRUELY ANYONE OUT THERE WHO REALLY BELIEVES OUR POLITICIANS, ESPECIALLY OBAMA…THEN ALLOW ME TO THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR JOBS, OUR UNBORN, OUR CHILDREN, OUR SOLDIERS, AND OUR GREAT NATION…..When party affiliation is more important than the well being of our great Nation , then we are all in trouble! God Bless America, not our without or our enemies within.
Yep, Obama is cool…..really cool.
