I must say that I was not a huge Obama supporter in the beginning.
But he has continued to impress me in ways that I did not anticipate.
He is RATIONAL where other politicians are crazy to pander.
That is unprecedented and totally refreshing.

  Yes it is Goppy. I was for Hillary...in the beginning! She and Bill used such underhanded tactics, it turned me off. Her method of campaigning rang true of the repubs and that did it for me.

      I agree...he shouldn't spend his valuable time trying to assure certain people in this country of his patriotism...trying to please everyone isn't worth it, and it won't get him anywhere.
      He should continue to press ahead with his vision, his dream, and the dream of many others in this country, for a better America, in spite of those who don't understand or support him.

        Quite a difference in speaking the words and listening to them. I did say he should be pushing his dream, not Wright's, didn't I?
        He's already come out against Rev Wright...what more do you want? If it's a perfect human being, well, sorry. Clinton wasn't perfect, Bush sure as hell isn't.
        I'm pushing for the one that comes the closest to making America better in the long. Hopefully, Obama will fill the bill...

        Yes, we SURE WILL! I hope all you nutjobs will be OK on November 5th, 'cause you are in for a very rude awakening (It'll make your shock over 2006 seem like a day at the beach!).

        Neither. And you would know that if you'd been paying attention to my posts over the last year or so...
        I'm simply a hard working American who is struggling to hang on to his piece of the shrinking middle class. I'm fortunate in that I have the education and skills to have a decent job.
        And ya know, your perception of me doesn't really matter to me one iota. The fact that you perceive those of us who are liberal or progressive as welfare recipients or government employees simply underscores your own ignorance.

        And tell me this: Why should the CEO of the company I work for pay a smaller percentage of his income in taxes than I do? And why should any company be given the tax loopholes they have today? This income is not given to employees as raises... though they should, most companies will take this as an opportunity to increase the bottom line for their investors while continuing to pay their employees the bare minimum the market will bear. And through this process the rich continue to get richer while the poor continue to get poorer and the middle class disappears into oblivion.
        ...and THAT is the major flaw of trickle down economics. I believe that the country performs much better when all boats are lifted. That is the root of Franklin Roosevelt's philosophy and the basis for my politics.

        Actually that's NOT true and it hasn't been true since Reagan was president. And it has never REALLY been true, because the 90% figure didn't kick in until income passed a certain amount. The real marginal rate is higher for the rich, because itemized deductions gradually evaporate as one moves up the income ladder.
        This as it should be. But you are so wed to the Reagan-BushII economic philosophy that I don't believe you can possibly see the flaws (of which there are many...), not the least of which is the destruction of the American middle class.

    I was always in Barack's corner. I am a pretty good judge of character and my instincts immediately moved toward him. I took a test sent to me by an email buddy, to see if I could separate serial killers from computer geeks, and got every one of them right! (Maybe I should be a profiler?) Anyway, I had no quarrel with Hillary becoming the nominee if that happened. However, since she and Bill have proven themselves to be no better, and in some ways, worse, than the repubs in their desperate bid to return to the Oval Office, I am loathe to think of them back in the WH. The ONLY way she will get my vote is if by some turn of events, Obama is eliminated (and I pray not!)
    They have been forever tarnished in my eyes. In my gut, I believe Hillary is a closet repugnicon. Certainly her actions and statements of late are more closely aligned with them than with her fellow democrats.

  Goppy,
  I agree 100% with your assessment of Barack Obama.
  And I was a John Edwards supporter who went to Obama after Edwards dropped out of the race...

    I STILL think that Bill Richardson is the most qualified man to lead the turnaround of this country.
    I guess he just didnt have the physical appeal that the voters need to get through the superficial election process.
    Still, Obama wants to redirect the ship. It needs to be redirected.
    Clinton and McCain both represent more of the same......can we go back to 1996?

    Tess, i think Edwards said he wouldn't accept the VP position for either of the candidates.

      He hasn't even endorsed either candidate. I think he's a little bitter over it all, probably with good reason, he wasn't given a chance. Wolf just ignored him in the debates, Edwards had to say "hey i'm here too".

    scott:
    Edwards was my choice as well. Although I was hoping that Gravel or Kucinich would be there.
    I'm hoping for a president that loves this country and what it stands for.

  I felt from the outset that Hillary was a divider, with good reason; that it would prevent her from having an effective administration. She and Bill are so hated by so many in an out of power. And she is proving my point these days by stooping pretty low to get that prize.

    Hillary is desperate and showing what "white trash" the Clintons are. Let's try and get a word from the late Vince Foster who likely died because he knew too much about them.
    Obama gives Americans hope and I pray that he doesn't nominate her for V.P.
