I like the way Mr. Obama can relate in a peaceful way to the people in the Middle East. There has been too much power play from our present White House Group. We have no right to tell other countries how they should live or believe. I agree America should try to help Countries who ask for our help. We should work with the United Nations on problems. But The united States should never be a nation others fear so much that they build bombs to protect themselves against us. Power is not the answer and never was intended by our forfathers to lead this great country. We truly are a melting pot. Not just Race or Religion but families of all types trying to make a better life for their children against all oppression. My Grandfather came to America in the 1800's from Scotland. His name was James M. Lynch. I am a second generation American. We grew up poor but we didn't know it. My Father and Mother taught us what freedon really was. I grew up in the 50's, 60's & 70's knowing the right's and freedom I had were because of the sacrefices of other's who gave everything including their lives to make America the greatest Country in the world. There is so much wrong at this time. I really hope and pray that Sen. Obama has his heart and mind in the right set to solve the many problems made by the last administration. I also hope he will address his ideas about jobs for the middle class. I have a 44 year old son with 6 years of college in computer management systems and he is still working tempary jobs because it is cheaper for companies not to pay benefits to employees. He has three children to support, plus pay off a huge college debt. He is not the only one in this situation. America needs change and I really don't believe Sen. McCain is up to it. Sen. Obama is really our only choice for the future. God Bless America..

I have probably said this on another blog. When people use the phrase "race card." that to me telegraphs what they are really trying to hide. The fact that a few white people still think that black people are inferior is not any game hence no need to refer to as "pulling a card." or "dealing from the bottom of the deck." I would challenge Senator McCain to express what he really feels about black people. This hiding behind a reference to protect themselves from being labeled as racists seems like it is going to explode in their face like so many other attacks they have tried to use.
