[I think Americans are going to have a horrible four years with Obama at the helm.]

I am disgusted with FREEPERS like yourself who are holding him as the savior. We should be trying to kill his chances not adding to the cult like status. It is sick to think that FREEPERS would vote and support Obama when there is no way that McCain can beat him. We should be hoping Hillary is the nominee and so Republicans can win the white house again. This is the sickest thing I have seen in all my years.

First, I don't think any Freeper is holding Obama as a saviour.

We do appreciate him knocking off Hillary and sparing us the possibility that the Clintons will again enter the White House.

Second,Obama is so far Left that he will get trounced in the General election, even by McCain.

Third, there is going to be alot of bitterness by the Clinton worshippers and they will sit out the election, hoping that Obama will lose so they can get their 'idol' another crack in 2012.

What a read. Barry was raised a Muslim, and his mother knew the charming ways of a black man....numerous times. Barry certainly has not fallen far from the tree. Barry’s male and female groupies will sway this election.

No nation to call his own, no wonder Barry didn’t salute the United States flag. And, as one who comes from many nations, Barry can “see” the benefit of the American’s “contributions” derived by “the struggling poor nations”.

Maybe Clinton X2 is a better opponent.

Obama gave 228K to 34 superdelegates that have announced for him. That’s an average of over $6700 per person. And Hillary gave 95K to 13 superdelegates who announced for her. That’s over $7300 per person.

The putrid tumor that is the true essence of the demonratic party is starting to burst.

btw, just how “sweet” is Obama?

Not very:

“Obama has spent a scant two years in the Senate but served eight years at the Illinois capitol in Springfield.

During that time, Obama voted AGAINST (emphasis mine) a bill that received national attention and would protect babies born alive after botched abortions.”

“Second,Obama is so far Left that he will get trounced in the General election, even by McCain.”

That seems like a good possibility to me. I don’t understand all the doom and gloom about McCain getting beaten by Obama. Obama is an empty suit with negligible experience, and he is the most liberal Senator in the entire US Senate. If we can’t beat this guy, then we deserve him.

Obama: Culture in Washington Must Change, Implement Tough Ethics Reform    

http://obama.senate.gov/speech/070821-obama_culture_i_1/          August 21, 2007

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) today delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor in support of the Honest Government and Leadership Act. This legislation would provide increased transparency and accountability, reduce the influence of lobbyists and special interests, and bring about the concrete changes we need in Washington. In January, Obama joined with Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) to introduce Lobbying and Ethics Reform Act, which set a standard for strong ethics legislation this Congress. Obama also sponsored an amendment to the Honest Government and Open Leadership Act that required the disclosure of lobbyists that bundle campaign contributions for candidates.

Obama Initiative Would Revisit Radical Changes to Immigration System in Five Years                  June 6, 2007

WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Senator Barack Obama today delivered the following statement on the Senate floor on an amendment to the immigration reform bill he introduced with Senators Menendez and Feingold to sunset the points system to obtain citizenship after 5 years:

The Time Has Come for Universal Health Care                    January 25, 2007

On this January morning of two thousand and seven, more than sixty years after President Truman first issued the call for national health insurance, we find ourselves in the midst of an historic moment on health care. From Maine to California, from business to labor, from Democrats to Republicans, the emergence of new and bold proposals from across the spectrum has effectively ended the debate over whether or not we should have universal health care in this country.

Mr. President, I am proud to be sponsoring this amendment with the senior senator from West Virginia. He's absolutely right that Congress has abrogated its oversight responsibilities, and one way to reverse that troubling trend is to adopt a sunset provision in this bill. We did that in the Patriot Act, and that allowed us to make important revisions to the bill that reflected our experience about what worked and didn't work during the previous 5 years. We should do that again with this important piece of legislation.

Maybe Clinton X2 is a better opponent.

The only thing she's got going for her is that's she's an American. Obama, IMO is nothing but a muslim Kenyan Lou Tribesman who happened to be born in a State of the USA.

I think I am about done. It’s way beyond Hillary. Whoever runs the guy, beyond even Soros, is like Kudzu.

This thing has to have been in the bag since last summer: The Avian Flu noise, the ‘Shared Prosperity’ Patriotic Corporations strategy, the ‘sunset’ retirement of FISA. And now I learn of Constitutional relativity and gun ‘restrictions’. If people vote Obamassiahcommunist in, or hervengefulselfinterest, or snakeinthegrassbackstabber, we are dead in the water. So, we are dead in the water.

‘In an age of great transformation, experience of the past is worthless because it is a barrier to the breakthrough gesture, the instant response in crisis, the instinctive bold decision in the face of totally new circumstances.

‘Some see Barack Obama as the long awaited champion finally come to slay the awful dragon of race. And they are right. Some see him as a new start for the Democratic Party and national politics. And they are right. Some see him as the walking embodiment of internationalism, ready to restore an honorable and respected place for America in the world. And they are right.

‘I see Barack Obama as a leader for this transcendent moment, the agent of transformation in an age of revolution, as a figure uniquely qualified to open the door to the 21st century and to convert threat to great new opportunity.’

IN AN AGE OF REVOLUTION!

Both candidates are dangerous to the country but we are better off dispensing with the Clintons now as they will be much more formidable in a general election.

Obama is going to have a much tougher time in the general. Do not confuse the excitement about Obama currently being generated in the primary season with the general election. Obama may be the cat's meow with the leftists in the Democratic party but that's not going to necessarily translate into a win in the general.
