The Economy is in the worst possible state in decades but the Mccain/Palin ticket is attacking Obama instead of laying out their plans to save the economy and our jobs. If Mccain/Palin ticket wins, there is no hope left for America. Hope to God we come to our senses and do the right thing. Vote for Obama/Biden. Bring in the fresh change that this beloved country so deserves

I hope if Americans are not Conservatives they should think of a change. A vote FOR Obama is a vote for Economic revival, positive Social change and Responsibility.

God speak to people throuh people and so, Americans should get this info from the peoples voices that, Vote for Obama. Americans should be tired of wars now and engage in building her economy.

Voters, Think Positive Change

Our American President Candidate 2008:Barack Obama needs all the positive vibes we can give to him, directly and indirectly.

Negative Attacks against Our Candidate are at Level 4.

Level 4 Attacks against leadership(Barack Obama), are usually an outsider(s)example:(Joe the plumber)and the new telephone ad) that the opposition(McCain/Palin) hires/acquires to do low-down, dirty work to embarrass, disrespect, just straight out lie, on the winning candidate (Barack Obama)because the candidate(Senator Obama) is winning on good Human values and becoming more influential among American voters. Americans are being exploited by the McCain/Palin team. (McCainPalin team is operating on the negative premise that "all is fair in love and war"), seems to be the basis for all the McCain/Palin lies/deceit and other negativity coming from McCain/Palin team.

You and I know within our heart, mind, soul, what is real. Human beings(Voters) are created good by God. But, when the human being(McCain/Palin) feel powerlessness, they(McCain/Palin) also feel the hurts and other distresses from their childhood that were never overcome, those hurt feelings continue as adults, (McCain/Palin), they began blaming another humans( Obama/Biden) for their(McCain/Palin) distresses or troubles(McCain/Palin are, now, losing...)McCain/Palin blame Obama/Biden for the media not covering them as they(McCain/Palin) feel the media is covering Senator Obama. McCain/Palin appeal to American good hearts to think that Obama is 'unfairly' having everything easier than McCain/Palin...McCain/Palin will pay a very heavy price for the lies, disrespect, and other evil tactics, in powerlessness, because we, voters, are using more than the 10% of our intelligence as we (voters) are documented to use.

Let us as voters demonstrate 2008: Voters are Using more than 10% of our intelligence is the beginning of the "Change We Need" in America.

McCain/Palin " have taken the gloves off" as they have said(McCain/Palin team. Everything negative, will be placed in Obama's path to block the positive change --Barack Obama, President of The United States of America--

"Change implies departure from tradition, newness,doing things differently, reorganization, upheaval. When the usual is valued, changes are viewed with suspicion and advocates of change with apprehension. The attitude of members in this kind of community might well be. So-and-so is a rabble-rouser and doesn't belong in our system. Let's do what we can to get him/her out. And, they really are successful. This kind of work environment breeds contentment for those who suscribe to the inherent values, and complete frustration for the movers and doers. Change, when it happens, as Barack Obama elected as President of the United States of America, will be exceedingly slow, will occur in barely observable increments, and will probably lag far behind the need for it"

.(The above paragraph was taken from Libby Benjamin and Garry R. Walz Center for Personal Empowerment, Ann Arbor, Michigan).

Obama's opposition(McCain/Palin team) is carrying out their tactics in the fourth level of attacks, mainly, "anything goes" "all is fair in love and war". The advocates for Obama/Biden Candidacy , Here's a challenge to motivate and promote the good:

"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, Think on those things. Biblical reference:Philippians 4:8

Note:If you are an American voter and consider yourself, non-religou,s I respect you. Then, I only ask that you accept this biblical scripture as a positive, logical challenge.
