Obama Charts Unlikely, But Historic, Path to Front-Runner in Presidential Election
Reader Comments
Does NO ONE remember an Austrian named Schickelgruber who changed his name and birthplace and became German? Who, later, became Chancellorand TOOK over the government and became Dictator ? Oh,yes he changed his name to Adolf Hitler.
That's not all HE "changed". 380,000 (three hundred eighty THOUSAND) casualties suffered by ONE Division (3rd Infantry Div.) plus God only knows what the total was, attest to the fact that America-and the world-got"CHANGE.
----and if McCain is too old then what about the 80 to 95 year old Senators & Congressmen?
"-------What fools we mortals(Americans) be ----_______"
Astonishing!!!
This whole media bias for Obama is sickening, this man could not even pass a security clearance that all of our service people must pass to become a defender of our great nation. A Nation that he has never served in any Corp of our services. Now we are about to put him in the highest office of the land, with access to the most secretive parts of our Government. I would not be able to even get a job with his qualifications and background. Harvard educated, so that makes him qualified to be President of the number one World leading Nation??
Have you all gone MAD!!!
In the bag - the media that is
Yes, this article is proof positive the media is in the bag for this clown. $1.6M home is middle class? Harvard is middle class? I am in the top 5% of wage earners and can not pay the interest or insurance on a $1.6M home!!!
How about some questions of this candidate? Like where is a legtimate birth certificate? What have you accomplished in your short political life? How can you set in church for 20 years and NOT hear the hate Mr. Eirght was spewing? How about the LA Times article that admitted his presidential campaign was kicked off in Bill Ayers living room? Or lets discuss you lack of desire to come clean on all those smelly campaign donations? Or your statement you would limit yourself to public funding limits?
An lets talk about the FL interview with your running mate, joe Biden. Can't handle tought questions? "Who is writing your questions" Joe asked, well it was not the typical in the bag media agent!
Mr. Obama, will your promise: 1) you will NOT limit free speech by involking limitations on talk radio? 2) not attack constitutional rights, including the Second Admendment? and 3) follow the 10th Admendment in the manner in which it was intended by the Founders?
If you AND your party buy into those challenges, then I might start taking you seriously. Until the "redistribution of wealth" will continue to be acknowledged for what it is - MARXIST!
I do
I am a Southern Baptist and a registered Republican in the Great State of Georgia. This past Wednesday 22nd of October of 2008, I casted my early vote. For the very first time in my life (I am 47), I voted for a Democrat. In the past I had always voted for either Republican or Libertarian candidates. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I must remind you that He was also called all kinds of names. By no means I am relating Barack Obama to Jesus, I just want to make the point that sometimes, the best things come from a different view that we have at the time. I recognized that and refuse to be a close minded person, rather, I am looking forward to a reconciliation of views rather than a clash of ideologies from the 20th century that will lead us to nowhere. Pray for the unity of our country instead of slashing out with anger.
And...
This was a bio that we've all read or heard. It says nothing about his economic plans, or how he will lead us out of this crisis. Why is that? Because it's the socialist illuminati that got us into this mess anyway. All the Ivy-Leaguers want to do is spend money, help us lose jobs, and speak with eloquently.
Gutless is true
This article sounds like you just love this man. Why aren't you asking him hard questions? What about raising taxes? Like raising taxes to the rich isn't going to affect all of us.When he lets the tax cuts roll back that we've had we will have a 5% increase to the middle class.What about abortion-live children left to die? His excuse was there were other circumstances? What were they the mom was sick? Well yeah but that doesn't mean the child couldn't be saved. What about where you went to church for 20 years where you praised your preacher until the media declared him a trouble maker. There are too many unanswered questions about Mr.Obama. It is wonderful that his grandparents were good people who loved him unconditionally. Great that he helped some poor people in Chicago. However he is only an inexperience Senator with one of the most liberal voting records in Washington. Kind of scary if you ask me.
Obama The Film Flam Man
Obama - The Film-Flam Man
He has a secret remedy for all world ills a born snake oil salesmen. In this new wave of money presidential elections, even a socialist like Obama can get elected in our “once” democratic U.S. of A. You do not need experience, you can have anti American associates, you can belong to a church that is openly racist and as long as you can out spend your opponent 10 to 1 you too can be the president. That is what equates to “CHANGE” for Obama.
Change is coming
Dear Aussie,
You obviously haven't been paying attention to what has been happening to our country for the last seven years. For your information, our "gutless" media didn't ask the same hard questions on W. when he ran for office back in 2000. You really can't blame our media for being biased. Thanks to W.'s leadership, our government now owes money to China and our troops are bogged down in Iraq and our workers are lining up for unemployment. If this isn't frigtening enough, I don't know what is. Tell me, Mr. Aussie how will an Obama presidency top this nightmare courtesy of the current administration? It's time to throw out the old and usher in the new. Anything is better than we have for the last seven years.
Cheers.
Old Shifty Eyed Obama
As someone from outside of the US I'm absolutely amazed that I still have not seen one person in your great country game and strong enough to ask our mate Obama any of the difficult questions that need to be asked.
What is the problem with your media, talk back shows, political commentators etc in your country?
Surely, one or two are fair minded and don't crawl up Obama's backside as most appear to be doing.
Are they as they say in Australia gutless or maybe just a little bit frightened that any of the hard questions that need to be asked might be a little difficult for our mate Obama to answer.
Anyway I hope for both our and your sakes that you folks in the US get the final verdict right.
Cheers Aussie.
