Obama

This blog has some people that are confused. Hillary has plenty of scandals behind her in her history. The republicans will come out full throddle if Hillary is the nominee. Obama has plenty to throw at McCain. McCain can't throw Wright at Obama because of Pastor Hagee. Obama can use the fact that McCain's health insurance plan will exclude cancer patients. He will leave the troops in Iraq for years. The economy will remain the same with McCain in the white house. We need to get a nominee democrats, so we can win the white house. VOTE OBAMA 08!!!!

Obama gets a Pass on the truth!

I get frustrated that the main stream media seem to ONLY focus on Hillary's lies! WHAT ABOUT OBAMA'S MANY LIES! Just listen to his life stories he tells in his campaign speeches! ONE EXAMPLE OF MANY- Obama said the Kennedys paid for his father to come to the US in 1960, when it is documented that his father was already here in the US studying in 1959! Another example - He first said , about his pastor, Wright, there was nothing wrong with his sermons- then,Obama said he never heard any controversial sermons in 20 years of attendance- then, in Obama's "race speech" he said he DID hear Wright say things that were controversial! WHAT IS THE TRUTH? There are MANY problems with the "MOST LIBERAL SENATOR" in 2006 and 2007 (Ranked by the National Journal-based on his voting record)! His associates are Anti-American: William Ayers,terrorist/ Tony Rezco,chicago crook on trial/,Frank Marshall Davis,Marxist Communist Mentor to Obama from 1971-1979-Obama writes about Frank in his book "Dreams of my Father",/Rev. Wright, Anti-American Mentor,advisor for 20 years! People in Pennsylvania- WAKE UP and reject him! And this all has nothing to do with race!!!

ALREADY CONFUSION

FIRST OF ALL, america u s a wiil regret NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO USE GOOD GRAMMER. BACK TO THE REAL ISSUE, WE ARE ALREADY IN GREAT TROUBLE AND CONFUSION IN AMERICA . ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING, BECAUSE WE CHOSE THIS PARTICULAR WHITE MAN.

Don't throw it away, PA!

Barack Obama is a smart, attractive man who speaks marvelously well when he has prepared his remarks in advance. He is also someone who will lose the general election due to his inexperience, his unsavory advisors and his insistence on playing the race card - not to mention his unpatriotic wife. He talks unity, but his supporters are insulting and divisive.

Don't throw it away, Pennsylvania. Help nominate Hillary - the brilliant candidate who has demonstrated her commitment to Democratic values for 35 years, and has *proved* she can bring Democrats and Republicans to make change.

What he is not is a wins this nomination, we will have to listen to 6 more months of the race card. If heWhich would be better for our nation

Clinton Pennsylvania Win

It does not matter whether or not Clinton wins in Pennsylvania. She has already lost to Obama. And Obama will lose to McCain in November. It is irksome to me how infinitely naive this Obama guy is. Now he apparently thinks he can "make nice" with the likes of the Iranian president and other thugs around the world. Well, you cannot make peace with the devil. You'll lose if you try and you'll scamper off with your tail between your legs. Meanwhile we will have a very interesting time leading up to the Democratic convention. There will be so much antipathy, acrimony, hostility and ill will between Hillary and Obama, that to even imagine that one of them will be chosen for a running mate to the other is laughable. Hold on to your hats, folks, it will be a bumpy ride, but entertaining nevertheless. This is just a preview of attractions yet to be enjoyed.

The foolishness of "Obamania of NJ."

Gentlemen and gentlewomen: After earning 5 college degrees, I thought I'd seen it all. But the benighted soul who signs himself "Obamania" is worse than all others. He refers to Obama as "Savior..." There are no saviors in politics. A fool who seeks a savior is one who is willing to deliver his brain to another.

He refers to America as "racist..." Yet I defy anyone to show me how we have been more racist than, say, France in Algeria, England in India, Holland in the East and West Indies, or ther Arab nations in Africa.

He wants an apology for slavery. Fine. But what good does this do? Did England or France or Germany or Russia or China or Indochina do so?

He wants reparations. Fine: but name one major or minor empire that will do so? Do we get England and Holland to give us reparations for bringing slaves to America in 1619? Will they comply?

We should put our efforts into productive matters, like studying why black males are so much less able than black females; why black pregnancies are so high; about why so many blacks think the US invented AIDS, even tho' this canard was admitted by the USSR to have been manufactured by TASS in Moscow.

In closing: do remember: Freud said that the gravest intellectual error is self-pity. I do allege that this is this writer's gravest fault, and one that will cause intellectual gangrene. Indeed, the poor child is now in the process of inflicting intellectual suicide upon himself. Why, please? to what end?

Sincerest regards to a poor child --

Dolores,

Obama wasn't there: pay attention.

america u s a wiil regret

there will be great trouble and confusion for america for choose black man as president .

Hillary--the intelligent strong leader

Hillary Clinton is the better of the two candidates. She is intelligent and experienced in leadership. She will not have to have someone write out her answers to the Generals on Iraq like Obama did clearly yesterday in the hearings. He stumbles and stutters unless he is reading what someone else wrote. Can't people see that he needs experience that only time can give? Let him come back in about 8 years and show us what he has learned and rubbing elbows in the senate and being there to vote once in a while. And let me see the convictions of his vote and not try to change it to score political points. Then, maybe we can feel secure in letting him lead at the top of our government.

PENN FOR CLINTON

women we all need to support each other clinton is a wonderful strong successful woman who is doing a wonderful job campaigning for america. she has real solutions. please, do not let obama charm influence your decision. obama is full of charm like most men when they desire something. what evidence of change is there that obama has made real change as senator compared to other senators. none. he is charming. but charm is not going to put america where she should be. we need a doer, giver, fighter, and survivor like clinton who has solutions to problems. clinton can think on her own without advisors.

she wants to make a real difference for the american people.

hillary ----campaigning for the people 2008----for the people---for the people
