he is president

first off, religious faith does not characterize presidential ability.

second off, being a smooth talker is not a good reason to disqualify obama as a good president. Do you want your president to slip up and represent his country poorly in international affairs?

finally, president obama hasn't done anything miraculous. That is true. But what you have to realize is that you can only do so much with what your handed. If Obama was elected during bill clintons period of presidency, then im sure people would praise him just as much as bill.

Obama was handed a dying economy with very little chance of immediate revival, he has a tough job to do.

Is this a joke?

If you are seriously spending time on a mundane subject like this, god help you. Maybe focus on something that actually matters.

Obama's Presidential Seal

Where can I get a copy of his presidential seal - the one specifically designed for him, and possibly by him?

Obama

You can not speak to Obama worshipers. They neither see nor hear. The man runs for president after being in the senate for one year! He counts his 2 years running for president as exectutive experience! He is being paid for being a senator! Yet he is not doing that, is he?

In the last debate, Obama steps up to say more because what he has to say is "important" and is given the time to do so more than once. He is in love with himself and I believe he agrees with those who have called him Messiah. I have heard he claims to be a Christian yet he reads scriptures and even laughs at them, does not believe them. He has forgotten twice he is a Christian and spoke of his Muslim faith. Scripture speaks of a problem in the last days of which there seems to be no answer in the world for this problem, financial problem today looks like it is very much like that. A man will rise up with the answer, people will be amazed at him. He will be loved, admired, worshipped, charismatic. A world leader. People laugh at and mock Christians, God, the Bible and Jesus. Palin is hated because she is a Christian, not for inexperience as she has much more experience than Obama. The Bible says people will call evil good and good evil. I see this happening and has been for many years. This woman wrote this article, telling the truth. She is hated and ridiculed just for speaking the truth. Watch the View, this is how the world looks. Hate for anything Republican or Christian. All cable news are the same, hate for Republicans and Christian except Fox News. Do you not think the Republicans do not know what is happening? All the nations of the world now can not fix the problem. I happen to believe that Jesus is the Messiah. You are free to choose whom you will believe. Acorn just may get Obama the presidency.

Barack Obama

To the personwho said Sen. Barack Obama will be the next President of the U.S. "as it should be" ..what he wants to be is King, Ruler, Dictator, he thinks so very highly of himself. His ego is out of sight, however, his brain is not quite the trophy he thinks it is. He is so full of himself there is no room for him to lead anyone anywhere. He is deluded. Where this country has been is nothing like where Obama wants to take us! All of his plans, should they come to pass, will bankrupt this country and take us to places we will wish we had never heard of. The man is ashamed of being white, he is half white. This country needs a president who will lead all Americans. I have seen and heard people like Obama before--but they were not running for president. I really hope this man will not become our president. He thinks he is ready to lead, he reminds me of a confident toddler saying me can do it, and all smile knowing he can't, he isn't ready, not enough experience. Experience matters and with it comes age. Wake up America before it is too late. We do not have the money to pay for Obama's lofty plans. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and so will Obama if he is elected and will take this country with him.

socialism

ill take 4 more years of whatever instead of socialism. socialism doesnt work and i dont need my money handed out to welfare recipients

Obama's "Presidential Seal"

This is sure and proven indication of the man's thinking.

How can these people who have commented here even be serious.

RESPONCIBILITY

We are all responcible for our actions. Even our deepest thoughts. Obama is too young. No experience. And what

will he change. Nothing. Just like Jimmy Carter changed

nothing. They are identical. Big smile. "change"

Too young to remember Carter, look up some recent history

before you vote.

Obama

Obama tells everyone what they want to hear...depending on the group he is speaking before. He rolls with whatever he thinks the public needs to hear to get him elected. He is looking for power and prestige. He doesn't have a clue on how to run this Country. My greatest fear is awaking one morning and discovering we have been sold out to a new regime totally alien to what America has always been about....freedom! His ineptness about foreign policy would be our undoing. Obama is a disaster waiting to happen with the US. He cannot be trusted. He is not an up front person, evasive on most anything asked of him. He absolutely cannot handle constructive criticism. He makes excuses, speaks smart remarks back to the public when criticized, thinks his wife is too good for anyone to say negative things about. He had better get ready if he wants to be President. People who expect to live in glass houses should expect to be scrutinized under a microscope. Just as he has dished out insults to my lady, Hillary, John McCain and others the same comes back to him. He becomes upset and threatens anyone that continues to harass his wife. He said as much on one of his taped campaigns. His words were they will be (blank), he didn't finish the sentence. Think he almost said too much in his anger. He did say the person would never be forgiven...a contradiction to his claiming to be Christian (Jesus believers and followers). Forgiveness is the cornerstone of Christianity. An unforgiving president is frightening. Obama is a snake oil salesman from the olden days. A gift for gab man shows up out of no where with charming and flowery words of hope to where people see him as savior of which he is not. He is handing everyone with outreaching hands a bill of goods that will never materialize. Obama is a jive time fast talker and I can't believe so many white people are falling for his bull. Whites had better wake up. He and his radical friends will make the whites slaves because blacks have always blamed others for their lack of success in life (a lie I never bought as a black kid) and they would love to see white people at the bottom. They are voting for Obama because they believe a black man in high office will even the score for them (whatever that means). All Obama will become will be more of the elitist bourgeoisie than he is now (superior thinking and better than working class people). When you look at that group closely they are no better than anyone else on earth; perhaps a little more money, education, better conditions in life, perks regular people never see and so on. My prayer for America is that the real truth will surface on this character before a horrible irreversible mistake is made. If he turns out to be OK and sincere, I will vote for him. However, his integrity and character has not shown me he can be trusted or believed unless you are desperate for change. I am for balanced change but not at the expense of selling my soul to the devil. I do not believe anything he says because he hedges too much when asked questions he doesn't want to answer. When he isn't doing that he's pointing out flaws of the other party and boring us with his many political terms lectures. Why so secretive? What is his real agenda for America? Will he try to make us become muslims or buddha because he doesn't think America is Christian anymore? He had better think again. I will never bow down to an idol or anyone other than the Almighty of all life on earth. America was built by our founding fathers on Christianity, Christian ways of living life, and believing there is only one Divine Creator, God Almighty. Everyone of us lives on God's breath each day. If you don't believe it try stopping your breath from leaving your body when you begin to die. You can't! You won't! You do not have a choice! You're gone! You're history! None of the other so called religions have this power and never will. God is sovereign (superior to all other gods, He is one power, independent, no one before or after Him). Whatever Obama's agenda is, he is bad for America and the Americans are too naive to see what is trying to happen. I don't trust Obama to fight his way out of a brown paper bag. I will never, never, ever, vote for him and my personal mission is making sure all of my family, friends, church friends locally and nationally plus my business associates remain committed to not voting for him.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE INSULTING

Obama supporters still don't get it. Insulting remarks, constant accusations of racism, and statements like 'just get over it', simply antagonize those of us who voted for Clinton. It's the same tactics you over zealous Obama supporters used from day one. I also think Obama was selected, rather than elected, and the bias media has acted shamefully. I also don't think Obama is qualified to be President, and like millions of other Clinton supporters, I will not vote for Obama.

Is every other sentence a lie, or is there no such thing as a "lie"? Which one fits your candidate?
