OBAMA

Obama is going to make change for our Country but not the change we need. 1. Obama was friends with a terrost! That says alot about him 2. Obama went to a church that hated white people! I think we should have a president that thinks of all races as equals! 3. Obama smokes, I dont think we need a president that smokes, thats a bad influence on children! 4. Obama promises soo many things, most likely he will not be able to follow through with his promises.
