why should we judge either one? they both might do good. i am confused at who to pick because for one obamma wants to send more money to the moms that dont got help from the fathers. i need that. yes it problay might hurt our country if obama is put in there. go by your heart who you want in there. and people need to quit judging others if they dont judge who you are voeting for.

People are being forced to look at the flip flop job Obama is pulling. First the rich people were making 250K a year, then 200K, then 150K and now its down to a whopping 120K. The way it changes daily, it will reach the middle income people in the area of $50,000 a year to be paying 50% & I think a whole of people are picking up on this. Not to mention his ties with Ayes and the recent news about the book Prairie Fire that was written by Ayes and his wife that was dedicated to Sirhan Sirhan. After taking a good look at the ties that bind, Ayes, Rev. Wright and Obama's attendance to have been over 500 Sundays in his life tells a different story then Obama is willing to admit. How can you attend a church for that long and not have paid attention to the preaching of the minister. Also his dinner party for a man who supports the Palestinian Liberation Army, which is also a close neighbor of Obama, Mr Khalidi. The ties that bind go on forever and anyone with a mind should have no problem linking the dots. With all this being served up on a plate for all to see, the odds are not in Obama's corned. Thank the Lord for that. I would love to have a black President someday with ethics and character and devotion for the American people and what they need. Obama has none of those characteristics.

These analysist don't know, they're just going off of previous elections and national polls. Next week will tell all. The people will choose between the left-wing illuminati and higher spending, or the right-wing with experience.
