Obama is just another puppet player--he'll be just like GW Bush in the end-- someone who doesn't know what he's doing and in water over his head--he needs to drop out before he screws up the US even more than GW-- And he's been following the teachings of a preacher who preaches hate. Certainly Obama can't say now after all the YEARS of attending that church that he was never touched by the preacher's words. If he can, then he's a liar for ever pretending to be a good member of his church, and blind for not taking the preacher to task well before he brought him onto his campaign......or is it a case like with GW Bush-- he didn't know any better? Just don't come crying to me if Obama gets elected and we end up being owned by the rest of the world.

Make no mistake, Hillary supports CAFTA just like she supported NAFTA.

What's truly amazing is that the Clinton campaign did not fire Penn...so, apparently, the Columbians have higher ethical standards than the habitually lying Clinton machine.

Top Obama campaign officials got a PR firm for Wright's church. Yet Obama would have left this church if Wright had not retired. Totally laughable since horrible remarks have been made since 9/11 and yet he never left that church or that minister. Change... I think not!!!!

Continue with the doublespeak and lies, the American people seem to have bought it so far. I wonder how many voters in OH now wish they had another chance, after all the informaiton coming out on Clinton being a BIG supporter from the start until now. Or wait, is she still only "half-heartedly" supporting this to help Willy and she is really against it (like Iraq) when she votes for it? Way to go Clinton!!!

As Americans we seem to turn a blind eye to so much money floating around and lobbyists and lobbying firms being hand in glove with foreign powers and future US Presidential candidates. Can anyone explain why the lobbying firm was paid over 10 million $$ by the Clinton campaign? Does anyone really care? According to msnbc Colombia paid the firm $300K and Clinton nearly $11 million. He who pays the piper MORE, sets the tune!!!!!!!! And we want Hillary for President, hurrah! Weird is it not?

Likewise, it's not a coincidence that you cannot distinquish the republican campaign style, strategy and attacks from those of Senator Clinton...they are very similar (e.g. the 3am call ad). ******* Jonsey, accuracy is not your gift.
