mccain

mccain i think is big loser.he's going to chop down our rain forests.do you really want him

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.

I vote john mcain because i think he will be a better president than obama.

obama

i think obama is the best for our country because he understand everything and he is going to change our country. and if mccain wins he is not going to change anything he is going to do the same things bush is doing and if he wins our country is not going to change at all

MaCain and Obama

Obama is talking change and has supported it with his ways; he does not criticise or belittle anyone but only replies when cornered; he talks what he would do if elected President and always stays cool. MaCain on the other hand talks about what he has done but unable to give a concrete plan for the future of America; he is more likely to embroil US in more wars and financial losses. MaCain is mostly likely to continue Bush's policies and would further distance the US from the world. The world has responded favourably for Obama, even countries not friendly to the US; it not because Obama will 'sell' Americans to the terrorists as some accused him of, but they see hope in Obama in ending the wars and squalors that has raged for decades; people, no matter how much their idealogy has been ingrained into them, want peace and freedom for their generations. OBAMA IS HERE TO DELIVER THAT VISION FOR THE WORLD. People have pride and pride in their ways. Obama know the grassroots as he has lived their ways. We want a President like Obama who will give us the life we need, the way we think and not the way the politicians enforce on us.

John Mccain

I choose Barach Obama. Nothing to do with his being black or white. This country is in a terrible economic state. I truly believe given the opportunity to become President, Senator Obama will choose the right path to take us out of this mess we are in.I have already voted for Obama. God bless him

Change

I have followed McCain and Obama's views the best I could and I fully support Obama. And I know everybody has had the thougths about one senetor being black and the other being white, but I am glad race hasn't played a big part in this historical event. But to get to the point I am trying to make, eveybody has their opinion of who is qualified to be president. You see, my opinion that I add doesn't call for big words, or a long, unnecessary speach that goes nowhere. My opinion is simple; the whole theme for the election is change. And I incorperated the quote, "change doesn't come from Washington, change comes to Washington". And if you look at who's been in Washington then you will understand. I've heard McCain brag about all the issues he's been involved in and talk about how Obama wouldn't be able to handle certain issues when they menofested, but, look at what those issues that McCain had a say-so in turned into. Bush leaded us into dark waters and MCain supported him all the way. Electing MCcain won't be a change. It's put bluntly, it's out there. But Obama, now that's a change, just the change we need. And he lives by a moral that congress and Washington seem to frown upon, and that is "yes we can." We all say we want change, Obama's your guy; I'll put it blunt.

I'm sure i want vote for OBAMA. He;s not the manfor the job MCCAIN is. so rock on america for MCCAIN is the only man for president of the UNITED STATES.

john mc cain

I am sure I will vote for Obama, He has shown me his desire to help the ones that like myself who is middle class, and knows the meaning of a dollar, and Senator John Mccain didnt impress me at all when he postponed his campagian trail the day that Congress was attemping to pass the bailout on our economy. to be honest with you I would be setting on the White House steps if I was so rich that I didnt know how many houses I owned. I would put a stop on my life to see what was going to happen to my millions. He tried to make the american people think he was doing that for them... Hog wash, that was self gain. He is a very high tempered arrogant man, I admire him for his service to our country.......This country is heading for a recession if Mc cain gets into the White House, with the same party stepping down, Americans are only deceiving themselves if they put this man in the commander in chief position, We live in the most beautiful, richest country in this world, Lets all put our heads together and elect Sen. Barach Obama for President last I heard there are more middle class people in this country than millionaries.
