Posted June 12, 2008

Reader Comments

John Macain is the Bigger.

I Joseph Malis agree that Mr.John McCain is a begger and the most wanted in the U.S.A Person in the America people.

Therefore, McCain Economic policies,Military Strategies and the foreign Policy is the right one. This show us that if Jonh McCain wins the future of American People is going to be brighter. The world will get space and real security.

Thanks

Mr. Joseph M.G.

it's unthinkable comparing the 2 together. it's also obvious that some of Obama's top aids have tinted credientials but still not enough to equate the two as equals.Obama represents change in all ramification from the histry of his birth through his up bringing, the countries he has lived in. The mixed up of his names to his unanticipated, unpredictable emergence to exalted federal senate chamber, and moreso to his lionic defeat of all the aspirants in the primaries especially Clinton dynesty.I know it will apreaciate you to know that never in the history of A MERICAN PRESIDENCIAL Primaries that the world over watched and followed developments like this, its all because of Obama. Obama is change and change is Obama that is were Europe, Asia, LatinAmerica,MiddleEast andwe in Africa stand. Nigerians and IBO's are very happy because OBAMA is our own.Obama will end up one of the greatest American leaders.

Servive USA

Anyone is better then Bush, even a monky.

Obama in general

I agree that we must have a change and a big .one .The Global Poverty Act is just another addition to the Trillions of dollars that has been thrown away in the past seven years. Lace frilled rhetoric is great at a tea party for millionaires but there are working people out here who are feeling the pinch in a big way. Some are working three jobs to keep up with their bills. That is when they can get a job. THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE.

McCain is a Washington lobbyist's dream!

McSame equals a 3rd George Bush term. He has taken more than S400,000 from Washington lobbyists and filled his campaign with them at the highest levels. McCain has even had lobbyists in his organization who represented the military Junta that recently stopped disaster aid from getting into Burma. Anybody who really cares about reforming Washington DC would NEVER vote for McCain, especially once they learn about McCain’s Keating Five scandal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five and his lobbyist campaign advisor Charlie Black: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjCYmjjxp8I&

Most "Outsider"?

Hell, Barack hasn't as much time at it as McCain so there's the answer. Not that I expect him to fall into cadance with the rest of Washington, but In a toss up, Barack is the most sincere, caring, human being we've seen in American politics ever. John F. and Bobby Kennedy were very close but Obama is the purist of them all in my book. I like his articulate manner of speech, his intellegence, his passion to help the down trodden, but I feel his multi-cultural background is a huge plus for us as a nation that's lost sight of compassion.

Obama's Global Poverty Act

If you want to really know who bama is & what plans he has for this country, READ HIS GLOBAL POVERTY ACT in it's entirety......this makes the U.S. subservient to ALL U.N. Nations..........if this doesn't make you see the truth, you will deserve what you get, we want to keep a FREE U.S....what about you????????

Obama the next President

I would not vote for McCain, under no circumstances, if we want another 4 years of what we have and you like what Bush has done to the United States the vote for McCain. When Bush throwed his arm around McCain on the White House lawn and said " THIS IS THE MAN THAT WILL CARRY OUT MY LEGACY " I knew then if he got back in and if anybody would vote for him, this United States is doomed. I went and changed from Republican to Democrat so I could vote for Obama in the primary. He stands for everything everybody in the United States stands for and want to change what Bush/Cheney have done to us in the last 8 years. Do you think Bush cares is gas or diesel fuel goes to 10.00 dollars a gallon. They are both oil men. Figure it out people, we need the republicans out of the White House or nobody here is going to have anything, a car and gas to put in it, and nothing else. You wont have money for anything else. Vote for Obama for change we can believe in. If the United States gets any lower, somebody from the outside of this country is going to come in and take over. We dont have any military here, they are all in Iraq, where we have no business being. VOTE OBAMA

Hillary Clinton

As Obama 'No Drama' said, she is a smart woman who can be of great asset to the party and the country, when and if she honestly starts working in getting Barry into the White House. I would love to see her in a Cabinet position, but not as VP. To much tension and intelectual power play between them. BO should definetly use both the Clintons because they can contribute a lot. Actually, fellow readers, I am kind of angry with Pelosi and the house of Democrats who don't want to have impeachment hearing of Bush/Cheney as recommended by Kucinich. Bill Clinton had an impeachment hearing because he had and affair, but Bush/Cheny clad have violated the Constitution by deceiving the American people, causing hundreds and thousands of people to be slautered around the world including our young soldiers. Pelosi, Dean and the rest Domos are saying ,we want to focus on the postive! Tell that to the mothers who have burried thousands of sons/daughters and lost all they have around the world. I am sure Bush/Cheney clad will be arrested as war criminals if they go out of the US after leaving office. Please let's get someone in the White House who'll bring peace, happiness and prosperity to our country and the world. Thanks!!
