Obama has virtually NO EXPERIENCE whatsoever. He even said when he was on vacation last week that he "wants to be left alone". I'm sorry, but if you're the PRESIDENT, you can never be left alone, ever!! Step back, Obama, or you'll let McCain win the presidency. I know for sure I'll have no problem voting for McCain if Obama wins the nomination. If only Gore could've won 8 years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.

People have to realize that the america rich white people know and the america that non rich whies and blacks no is very different. It is easy to say that only people who 100% agree with the rich white ways and never been oppressed or cheated love america. I love America too. but in a different way. I am sure that Mrs. Obama feels the same. I love the people I see everyday. I do not love our government or corporate powers. This governemt tries to say we have Freedom. Well, we dont have rights with that freedom. No right to health care, no right to fair treatment. This country works for the corporations, for foreign countries, and the richest people. IT doesnt not work for the everyday tax payign person. Mrs. Obama obviously loves the country. Nobody in their right mind would but their lives aside for a country that they dont care for. People are upset about the Wright scandal and the quote of Mrs. Obama because they are based on truth. And the truth hurts. Obama faces these truths and hopes to change them. Make us better. It is sad that we can spend trillions of dollars on another country and tell ourselves there isnt enough money to make us healthier or safer or lead better lives. Just because Obama and those close to him arent blind to the fact that this couontry is screwed up, doesnt make them any less patriotic than those who skip over the harsh truths and focus on iraq and sugar coat what we really need to face. It makes them more patriotic, to me, that he is willing to bring these things front and center and challenge all of us to make this country work for the citizens. ALL Citizens.

It is the Clintons who made up a lot of these rules and now they are getting caught in their own net. As for Gore, why didn't Gore and Hillary run together in 2004? Because she will never be VP to Gore and Gore will never be VP to her. As for Barack I actually think he could be more powerful NOT being the President. He actually will have more clout working behind the scenes, like being a power broker. If he has this much polish to run against the CLINTON MACHINE now and people way he's not ready. Just imagine him when he is ready? We all know thhat Washington DC is dead NO ONE can get anything going there anymore. The good people are leaving and I actually think it will polluite Barack's chances of being a really good President as an INDEPENDENT.

And please don't claim that it has something to do with "attacks he has made on Hillary", because he really hasn't made any himself. There have been a few swipes from his supporters or staffers, but there have been plenty from HIllary's as well. Hillary herself has attacked Obama- Here's an example: A few weeks ago, a story came out about a comment made by an ex-aide, saying something to the effect that Obama would not follow any specific plan that he or anyone had right now if he were to become president in 2009. Instead, he would need to consult with the generals on the ground, appraise the situation when the time came in 2009, and then make decisions based on the cuurent situation at that time. For what it is worth, Hillary has said that she plans to do the same thing. But the Clinton campaign decided to spin the story, and Hillary herself came out and said that "... in fact, now we find out that Senator Obama has no plan." Talk about spin, half truth, and taking something out of context... Will one of the Obama haters please tell us exactly what it is they hate so much about him? And please don't claim that it has something to do with "attacks he has made on Hillary", because he really hasn't made any himself.

He is doing just fine with his work on environmental issues. He can accomplish more in that role. And I believe it is important. Global Warming is a reality that nobody else wants to talk about.

However, all these people getting excited about Gore at the top of the ticket are just as bad as those that would just prefer to coronate Obama now. Where will democracy have gone if the behind the scenes guys simply appoint someone no one voted for? Does no one see the hypocrisy in this after all the thrashing and attacking of the Clinton campaign for what is really only clarifying the true reason we have superdelegates? This campaign has gotten ridiculous, and contrary to what popular opinion may be, I strongly believe that it is the fault of the DNC, these silly superdelegate endorsements that make things more confusing, and dirty politics of the Obama campaign. Yes you read that correctly. I don't think Clinton has played half as dirty as she really has the right to to win this thing.

He is much too smart to outright endorse anyone and I hope he just keeps on being the way he is.

He has the least chance of wining in the general election, becasue he did not win any of the big blue states in the primary. The red states are not going for him in the general. To think that the blue states that voted for Hillary Clinton are just going to vote for Obama because he is a democrat is wrong. I know many, many people who are not going to vote for him if he gets the nomination, and these are die hard democrats. Some are going to write in Clinton's name, others are going to vote for McCain. If the DNC thinks the 30% of Hillary supporters that said they will not vote for Obama no matter what, are just blowing smoke, they are in for a big suprize if they hand this nomination to him. We have big problems with him getting the nomination when Flordia and Michigan that went for Hillary are not included. The whole racist church thing has lost alot of white supporters too. You will see in Pennsylvannia, how his support has declined! If anybody should bow out it should be Obama.
