You are filled with hate and divisiveness... Obama has the change we can believe in.. Obama will fix all the problems in government he said so, Obama said We will be part of the solution so the sooner we all get onboard with that the better off the country will be...

Don't forget hope. Hussein's gonna give us all hope.

Change No. 1 in everyone's book should be to make English the National Language.

We have always had peoples of like ancestry gather in neighborhoods....But now we're talking about "huge Numbers"...making us no longer a melting pot but "nations" within our nation. We've pandered to them.

Turn back to what our forefathers saw...immigrants adopting the USA as their loyalty...Their ancestral home to remain wherever it is.

My grandparents all came from the Ukraine at different times. Their children were all born here...went to USA schools and learned English. The Grandchildren all went to college.

Seeing the pictures of my GREAT grandfather and grandmother taken in the Ukraine is sad...A WWI soldier and a woman in old soldier's boots..

America was a chance!! A miracle waiting to happen!!

Mr. "I'll invade Pakistan" is brilliant?

The guy who never ran a lemonade stand (I bet Michelle balances the checkbook) will prove his brilliance by running this economy?

A local community activist with minimal history in the US Senate who has never hired, managed or fired a single employee will prove his depth and successfully manage dozens of domestic programs and cabinet level organizations, while dealing with the UN, while maintaining our global alliances, while fighting the WOT, while dealing with the Joint Chiefs as CIC, while resolving the immigration problem, the coming Social Security collapse, the health care debacle, the pending global oil crisis and one or two other minor issues...

It seems to me that you have been seduced by the cult of personality that is the Obama movement.

I don't deny that there are enough suckers and political children in America to elect this empty suit but I believe that an Obama administration would elevate even Jimmy Carter to the pantheon of great leaders in comparison.

Nope. Obama isn't Jimmah. I'm not *supporting* Obama, I'm saying he's a million times smarter than you guys give him credit for. Obama and his group have already got everything planned down to the most minute detail. They're not flying by the seat of their pants *at all*.

If Obama's elected you *will* see universal health care for example.

What we are seeing today... is a mass escape from a percieved boredom by a large segment of the population due to mass-media misinformation, censorship and sensationalism.

It is the product of... confusion, fear and weakness.

Reminds me of Al Gore's command of Latin.

While pandering to illegals and the multi-cultural mob he said; "
We can build a collective civic space large enough for all our separate identities, that we can be e pluribus unum -- out of one, many."

You're right, Carter had decades more experience proving himself than your boy has (nuclear scientist, Commander of a nuclear sub, Governor of a large state). Carter has accomplished more in retirement than your guy has in the first fifteen years of his casreer.

Obama is a mediocre intellect with a smooth style and a racial/generational appeal.

You would be well served to remember that when asked in a televised debate to list actual accomplishments all he could come up with was the co-authored 'patients' bill of rights' bill that, as Hillary pointed out, never became law...iow, his 'accomplishment' was a failure.

If he were not Halfrican-American we would not even be talking about him or do you want to argue that he is the presumptive next potus based on his CV?

Finally, upon what exactly are you basing your conviction that Obama is deep and brilliant, and that he is just waiting to show us, especially considering the fact that he has been out in the world for fifteen years and has not exhibited any brilliance to date?

>It’s Oprah vs whoever comes out for McCain<

I used to think Oprah was a decent person, but ever since hearing the complete change in her speech as she shilled for Obama, I’ve looked at her as a billion dollar hypocrite of the first magnitude.

She has one accent for her television audience, but get her out in the ‘hood, and she sounds like a completely different person.

You see the difference, but leftists who vote for Obama/Clinton only hear the flowery prose and don’t really think about what the words are saying.

Lack of Responsibility for the Irresponsible

Read this yet?

http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/creech/070322

What is inherently immoral about socialistic endeavors is the effort to equalize economic conditions by forcibly redistributing wealth. To get this done, the right to private property, which God gives in the eighth commandment of the Decalogue, is violated. And charity, which according to the Scriptures is supposed to spring willingly from the heart, is instead coerced. Therefore, the image of God in man — his creativity and productivity — is suppressed, while those who are indolent prosper.

Easy, I had a chance to actually listen to what his backers are planning. They've completely co-opted conservatism and conservative dialog into their liberalism. I don't expect you to understand it now. But you will.

Kennedy, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

Obama, “ask what your country can do for you.”

Well, maybe the republican party should have been a little more concerned over the years instead of sitting on their duffs and doing nothing. A lot of them have let us down and we just flat out quit sending them our hard earned money. If they lose this election it is their own fault.
