Hillary helped create the schip program. And to you Obama people, that's the State Children's Health Insurance Program. I'm sure most of your children benifit from it. Let's see if Obama's speeches will help pay insurance for your kids. The welfare rolls were cut in half when Billary was in the White House due to programs created to train welfare moms for jobs. It worked. That administration also sent money to states to hire 100,000 new cops to patrol high crime neighborhoods which were overwhelmingly of poor people areras. Not to mention the creation 22 million new jobs and a budget surplus. I'll be waiting Obama speech buyers for some things he's done other than fight to remove mandatory minimum sentences for convicted felons. How would that help the poor communities? Your people has forgotten what The Clintons were doing for you when The right wing Republicans were fighting to oppress you. Talk issues, not speeches!!!

People polled most recently listed the Hillary Clinton campaign and Mitt Romney campaigan as the most negative this selection season. You are correct that MLK was an American, an American hero. Talking about MLK and for what he stood for and how he achieved it is one thing, but to belittle his (and countless others) efforts is not tolerable. Obama has never compared himself to JFK and MLK as Hillary proposes. He has projected the similiarities in the hope that both men possessed as well as the belief the American people to change.

If Washington experience came in dozens, it would be a dime a dozen. Washington experience is what led us into the foreign and domestic mess we're in today. What we are short of in Washington is fresh ideas and unifying vision. Put a president with these in the White House, and all that Washington experience can be put to work taking America in a new direction. This is why I support Barack Obama for president.

He wants to bring unity and pragmatism to a prominent role in government; doing so requires embracing a variety of civilians and politicians alike, not rejecting the old guard. The fact that Senator Obama has actually sponsored bills with bipartisan authorship and his personal civility toward his opposition give us a reason to believe that he can succeed in unifying a government where so many others have either failed or not tried.

We have let the media choose our candidates. We have the most inexperienced candidates to run. Neither will get Ohio. A must to win. Why doesn't anyone ask them about immiagration or policies or how our they going to pay for it. Demand that they tell of 5 candidates that they will ask for vice president. A lot of Ohio Democrats will vote for McCain over Obama. Anyone thinking the South will vote for Obama with his immigration policy with a recession coming is naive. He is for the wine voter well Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia are suffering. He is for trade policies that hurt the middle class. Ralph Nader will difinitely run and take votes away from him. He has already stated that. Swiftboating will occur on Obama look what happened to Ford in Tennessee. Resko will be a problem. Why did his wife buy the property for Obama? Who do you know will buy land for you without strings. $600,000. This calls on Judgement that he points to. He also has flipped on a lot of his stances. The media has not done its homework I bet the Republician will. Why is it racist to ask about his records. The Republicians won't tip toe around this issue. The elitist have found their candidate however the lunch box voter will vote for their pocket book. Huckabee or McCain or Romney will launch a campaign that Obama is a talker not a doer. Heaven help us if there is an attack. If I was a terriorist organization and wanted to influence the election like they did in 2004 when Osama released his message couple of days before the election. kerry was winning.I wouldn't want a candidate who would talk peace Obama and change the perception of how the Arab world see us. I am deeply disappointed that we again are looking at Obama as a uniter. Bush was suppose to be that and how did that go. People the founding fathers made our government an adversial type of system. They didn't want a kingship. When we make a candidate a savior as Obama has become what disappointment we will have when he fails. As all saviors do on this earth. Change the only way to achieve change he does not talk about. He can't provide it. The only way to achieve REAL change is to vote all incumbents out and start a new. He is getting endorsements from the governors, and congress. Looks to me like it is the establishment. I have voted Democrat for 41 years in Ohio and if Hilliary or Obama is the my parties choice. I will hold my nose and vote Nader or Republican and a lot of my fellow liberal democrats will do the same. Already the local radio stations are talking about his religion and his church. He will have to explain their philosophy and whether he agrees with his pastor. Not standing for principles and voting present will be a problem with a lot of people. Immigration is a big issue in Southern Ohio where native Americans are competing with illegals. The economy is a big issue and trade policies are breaking ohio jobs. Democrats have to look at experience leaders or forget the White House. Remember there are 2 wars going on and never has the voters voted for someone as inexperienced as Obama during a war.

Obama tells me to hope so i start hoping. Obama tells me to change, so I change my parents since they are past and status quo. My friends (fellow Obama supporters) tell me to repeat Hillary hate posts 100 times a day, so I do it. It's a change from my other work. Obama tells me to convince my other immature youth friends to cheer for change, I do it. Obama tells me to ignore experience, so I ignore my parents experience of knowing the world as again, they are past and status quo. I ignore every old person who was served nationally as they are status quo. Your national service doesnt count in the new world of hatred filled starry eyed fairy tale following youths like me.

It's no surprise that given a culture in which more Americans watch American Idol and the Bachelor that Obama would be the latest 'Idol' to which people become besotted. An empty suit who really has said nothing. True he gives nice speeches but I can get the same by going to church. What are his policies, the answer is: Change, but change what? No answer from him there. He really thought this would be a cake walk because he listened to all the hype from his backers about being the great white hope. Also Black Americans should be worried because they think he will address black issues, he won't. They thought the same thing about Clarence Thomas but once he got the Supreme Court he turned into a black version of that mutt Scalia. You'll notice he never mentions race on the campaign trail, he only does that in private meeting with black ministers. So in short he's running as an educated, non-threatening black person that some but not all whites can feel good about. If he gets the nomination he will loose because he can write the south off. That also means he has to carry every state that the loser Kerry carried plus one. He'll never do it and we will be stuck with McCain in the White House. So all you Clinton haters vote for the most popular and regret it for 4 years. Some or you posters are really out to lunch, literally.

The Clintons are about PERSONAL AMBITIONS. How do we know this? The self-destructive Clintons built up a huge White House legacy and then selfishly proceeded to destroy their own legacy and marriage, undermine the Presidency and encourage bungling bush to continue the destruction of the US Presidency. If the Clintons can't care about THEIR OWN legacy, how less will the Clintons care about America! STATUS QUO MUST GO!
