Race my foot!!! Obama is a self-serving opportunist. There is NOTHING in his resume to suggest he is a man of honor. He never stood up to corrupt pols - He endorsed them ! Sheesh! His only charitable act was to give Rev. Wright's church $22,500 ! That's it. Wow! Contrast to McCains DECADES of charitable work all over the world and principally Africa. Obama is a poseur who only talks of the need for change. Well, so does my loud-mouthed uncle! Wake up America !! The foreign interests that back Obama do so because they know he stands for nothing and can be bought. The foreign interests mean America NO GOOD. Wake up.

TABOO! Who are you kidding? From day one the entire Obama Campaign has been about NOTHING BUT RACE! It has been Sen Obama who has REPEATEDLY said, "They will say he has a funny name, he doesn't look like the other presidents on the dollar bills, and DID I MENTION THAT HE'S BLACK?" Those have been the words of Sen Obama, over and over and over! All he has is race, because he cannot talk about his record, his inexperience in foreign affairs or his associations.

You protest too much. Obama worked to get people off the streets of Chicago and into fair paying jobs. Hummm you are dead right... that seems awfully selfserving to me too!!!

He tried to get them back into school... Well now... how Worthless is that... they would just be able to better jobs. That's pretty self serving... 15 years later they might vote for him. -

Obama is an educated man. Would it not be fascinating to have someone who is the president and has a brain. Mcain is smart, but he might be getting senile. Palin is hot and people like her. She is is the only intelligent person on the republican ticket.

HOW do you think they convinced an entire country to back their ideas?
The aftermath of their rise to power is what REALLY tells the story.
Educate yourself,and learn to recognize a communist in the making when you see one.
I certainly do!

Any potential president who realizes what people with predetermined illnesses suffer in paying horrible high insurance costs gets my vote hands down (I am voting for everyone who has a predetermined condition and everyone who will develop a condition(i.e., cancer, ms (I have ms), diabetes, blindness, paralysis, mental and physical handcapped,etc)! Every minute it seems someone is diagnosed with something that prevents them from being able to eventually seek medical attention. Double blow to have to feel the pains from the news and the bills. By the way, has McCain put the phrase "middle class" in a sentence while talking about tax breaks yet? I really want to know. Has he discussed insurance breaks for those with pre-existing conditions (I need to know)? If the middle-class weren't mentioned, isn't it to be assumed he was talking about the socio-economic groups with which he is familiar, the upper classes? All in all, I hope whoever gets in office follows through with the promises made to coax our vote. Question that has nothing to do with the article: if stocks are dirt cheap, isn't it a good idea to buy as much as possible so that we will all be millionaires and be able to afford the rising gas prices? I only have so much blood to give for gas at the moment. Another question: If Palin's husband is playing the role of the stay-at-home-mom, doesn't that make him the real soccer mom and her the breadwinner? Just a late night catharsis. If I wasn't sleepy I would take time to psychoanalyze Palin, in brief, I would say that she is narcissistic (i.e. she made her ex-brother-in law's boss fire him after she got in office and is going to trial on the matter). As always, I hope you all will do your homework and vote according to the issues that best suits your need(s). HAPPY VOTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whose race are we talking about? All of the politicians sure sound WHITE to me and all were raised in white families, have white heritage so why the question? Dumb. Now if you want to discuss VICTIMS in this race, all of us can name them Sarah and Joe. Sarah has been fired on since she came into this circus and Joe has had his aneuryisms, seems to have memory problems. Need to start this one over my fellow Americans, no messiahs allowed.

How sad! Every single communist country has become that way by electing what they though was a candidate for "change".
Reply
Well... They sure got their change! Look at Cuba,Venezuela,Russia,all voted their dictators in.
Obama is a "WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHES" and when he starts taxing us all to death,taking your property,making you pay for socialized medicine etc. (seriously,were do you think the money is going to come from???) YOU and ME,that's were,he will NOT tell you that The only people that will benefit from his programs will be the welfare recipients. The Black community will vote him in as well as the young and naive,typical of a socialist regime,always going after the least knowledgeable of history,and the least educated.
If you think things are bad now,JUST wait!
Good luck to us if he wins!

I read somewhere that Michelle Obama won't let her daughters play with White Barbie dolls! What is up with that? My white daughter's favorite baby doll was a brown skinned doll that she named 'Chocolate Baby' and she loved that baby and took it everywhere! Still has it and she is 22! What message is Michelle Obama sending her daughters? You tell me!

If you can judge a wise man by the color of his skin then you are a better man than I . BUT understand intelligence comes in many forms I myself am very intelligent in areas of federal level ploitics, military, world affairs, automobiles, computers and steelers football but am a blooming idiot when it comes to finances, local level politics, small engine repair and golf now obama is brilliant at social gatherings the apperance of hope very articulate public speaker and is good at finding uninformed unintelligent people to follow him his social skills is aiming at socialism his lack of vision has brought the wrath of his past to haunt him with the likes of his terrorist buddies like bill ayers and no he aint the only terrorist the so called man of god the racist anti American rev. wright, rev. flagger the nut the leader of the amereican nation of islam louis farrakan, who's so called million man march is now being copied by Iranian backed al sadr, rezko the felon ect... yet somehow obama gets everyone to give him a pass on these issues without a doubt he is a brilliant manipulator but his lack of experience as quoted by his own V.P. nominee Joe Biden "barack obama lacks the experience to be prisident of the United States and the presidency isn't something that lend itself to on the job training" by the way he also stated "I would not only be proud to run against John McCain but also with john McCain "(as his V.P.)so President of the most powerfull nation in the world barack is NOT and in my educated mind he never will be. democrats should have stuck with richardson

It is very sad how little minded some of us are when it comes to labeling people that do not look like us (same color). I know it is an the way some people was raised. Hate is passed on from generation to generation. Also sad how one race always want to outshine another race. When will it end? In the afterlife will we be categorized by our race. Will God say you people this color go the right and you people of that color go to the left. We all are a rainbow of all colors and should learn how to love and respect one another. It is good and bad in all races.

To all voters and all races, The elections is about getting a president to serve our company not the skin color. Both canidates are good representives and stands for what they believe. It's not the color that matters it's about getting in the position to help better and serve our country. So wise up and drop the racial issue, it is what it is so we all got to deal with it.
