If only they had taken into consideration the WISDOM of Barak Obama! We would be a lot better-off today. A wise man like Obama not only knows how to seek knowledge but how to use it to the country's benefit. This is where is most qualified to be president. Not to mention his ability to unite individuals of varying mindsets around a certain cause. This is the skill that Hillary lacks and that would work to her defeat in the White House. She would be as polarizing as George Bush. Our country simply cannot afford another 4 years of deadlock. It's CRITICAL now!! Andy:

It should be to no ones suprise that Obama is raising more money. Obama is the flavor of the moment for the rich folks, they really don't care about his lack of experience or knowledge of the complex issues facing the next president. Lower income people don't have the time to waste on a empty suit with fancy talk, they need help right now and they know Clinton is by far the most knowlegable and experieced candidate who will not need someone to hold her hand to make the tough decisions to move america forward Upper income earners support Obama, lower income earners support Clinton.

Some investigation showed that the New Mexico caucuses were in reality primaries: people came in, voted, and went home. There was none of the open discussion of the candidates that characterizes the caucus process as we have described here earlier this year. This tends to confirm the theory that Obama does better when there are small groups discussing the candidates where his cadre of enthusiastic supporters can try to convince other voters that he is the best person for the job Yesterday, a Democratic precinct chair from Colorado reported about being curious as to why Obama did so well in the Colorado caucuses (including hers) but only so-so in the nearby New Mexico caucuses.

I have tried to shake this warning in my spirit, but without success. Then I got an email from a minister friend of mine whose father used to be the pastor of William Branham's Church. She reminded me that Branham had prophesied that it would be during the time of a Woman President that the judgment would fall on America. (Check His website) Many have stated that if it didn't, God would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. I am not speaking of the fact that it is a woman it and of itself. I am talking about the morals. After what they called "Super Tuesday," Hillary Rodham Clinton is even closer to the White House as ever before as is Obama. I do not normally get involved in politics. However, in these last days, we must be sure that we are doing what God wants us to do in this election. I am not here to prophesy for you to vote for one or another. No, not at all. God gave you a free will choice. (Deut 30:19) But you have to make sure that your free will choice is the choice that God wants you to make. If you will remember, there are many times in the Word of God, that prayer changed God's mind. Prayer changes things. We must pray for God's will and not who we would like to see win the election. Some want a black president so badly, that they don't care about his politics whether right or wrong, whether Islamic or Christian. Some want a woman so badly, they will accept her morals and politics for the same reasons. We have all heard the stories. We have witnessed her stand by her man after he has shown a lifestyle of adultery. Is that a good trait? or bad? The biggest issue is when will we stop voting with our pocket books instead of our honor. I have seen too many vote one way, when they knew he was evil, because he was good for their pocketbooks. We have power and authority in the name of Jesus to change things for the good. We must use it. There is an old saying that fits this situation. "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." (Sir Edmund Burke.) This is what is wrong with America now. Christians have sat on their backsides instead of using the authority which has been given to them in the name of Jesus to do some good in this world.

He was NOT there to show us how he would have voted. I'm so tired oh him and people like you who use this defense. Since he has been in the Senate, he has voted to FUND THE WAR right? 3rd, She might have voted for the Iran thing but where was Obama, that's right, NOT THERE TO VOTE. He had some sorry reason like all his other miss vote, present votes or no shows. 4th - What has Obama done to show he can fix the economy? NOTHING? He has been in the Senate long enough. He was only there on year before he left to run for President. 5th...WHAT CHANGE IS OBAMA GOING TO BRING? What has he done. TELL ME??? Tell me what he is going to Change. We know he would be the first Black President, We know he would be a Democrat, We know he will not be Bush??? So what CHANGE will he do???? to tommk – She is spending her money because she KNOWS she is the better person to run this country. She doesn't have Oprah and the OLD Kennedy Family who from what I think IS everything Obama is against.

As I said before, CNN has become the lapdog of the rabid Obama Circus... I think that the reason why pre-election polls are always wrong is because the media ALWAYS downplays Hillary's strength and resiliency and chooses to praise Obama's Circus as the second coming of Christ. But as continue to see, Hillary holds her own and her supporters aren't going to let blind, rabid Obamaland take the nomination as easily as they think... She has fended off this "tsunami" thus far hasn't she, where is the story on that? The media and his supporters underestimate her at their peril. Her supporters (like myself) see right through the kumbaya rallies and rock concerts and hope to elect a PRESIDENT, not award an academy award. So, CNN, surprise me again and post this comment.
