Obama 08

cnn never posts my comments. any bets they won't post this either???

Spin Mr. Bounds? Your statement is spin. That's what spin is.

"Only an elitist who attributes religious faith and gun ownership to bitterness would think that tax cuts for the rich include families who make $75,000 per year"

This from some political strategist who spends hours every day carefully crafting his speech full of trigger words and deceptions.

If America can't handle the truth, it does not deserve Barack Obama.

Hillary is really desperate!

We've worked more than 45 years, yet we can barely make it on our pension income, savings, and small social security.

I paid almost as much this evening, for a tank of gasoline, as I did for food that will last us two weeks because my careful planning. I'm disturbed and upset by the fact that after serving as a public school educator for many years, I still have to be careful about how I spend money.

To accuse Senator Obama of belittling small town America is a figament of your corporate imagination. He's telling the truth about small, medium, and big towns in America. The cost of living in this nation has become outrageous.

Sadly, you the media will dig, and dig, and dig until white people everywhere are convinced that Senator Obama is an elite Harvard graduate who simply doesn't care about small people. How dare you do this. Your spin is so far from the truth of his remarks that it's painful to listen to commentaries on CNN.

Senator Barack Obama is man of integrity that speaks for Americans throughout the country. His roots are grounded in small town, urban, and muticultural America. His thinking represents a new kind of political will. One that seeks change, honesty and truth telling. His comments about small town people in Pennsylvania are as truthful as those residents who indicate that they just can't vote for an African American.

Senators Clinton, Mc Cain, and the American press never imagined that a bi-cultural American man would rise to challenge them for the highest postion in the country. What's really sad is to watch the manipulation of the press to inflame the innermost fears of White Americans with its incessant comments regarding the inappropriateness of some of the Senator's remarks.

I am saddened by the thoughts that ... you the media cannot believe that this man, chosen for these times, has to cope with your lunacy and racism. You the media who are constantly viewing every morphographic sound that he makes for word particles that can be spun into an afront of white people. You should be collectively ashamed of yourselves to present such biased and inflammatory views to Whites in Pennsylvania regarding the Senator's remarks. You the press are playing to their base existence, and inability to carefully analyze comments made by others.

Your remarks, comments, and jaded insights are about nothing but fear, fear, fear. You the press with your spin are the cause of this nation becoming less than it can be. Your collective resistance to people of color are some of the causes that have turned this nation of optimistic believers into a hopless group of cynics.

You are killing the dream of many Black and White citizens to have an African American president of the country by your constant denigration of every word the Senator speaks. Please take the time to do some careful analyses of comments before you bring them forth to be publicly debated

McCain? Good Grief, I live in Arizona. They are shutting down schools, giving teachers pink slips, not insuring homes because the value dropped so low, closing after school care programs that will mean cost hike in sitters for people like me.

Hell yes I am bitter, and fed up. Only rich McCain and Clinton would not know how bitter we are. There are two Americas. They are the ones that are horribly out of touch!

Is the Clinton campaign serious about their recent comment–"they want a President who will stand up for them for a change. The Americans who live in small towns are optimistic, hardworking and resilient. They deserve a president who will stand up for them for a change." Hasn’t Barack Obama message been all about change? If this is the best hope of ‘Clinton and McCain' winning the presidency and the lack of sound judgment by taking out of context his speeches by reading between the lines of a hopeful president than maybe both McCain and the Clinton campaign are feeling the pressure of a future president who is truly sincere to his voters and most importantly honest to them. This is what the American people want!

Barak Obama is dead on with his comments. He is not denigrating people...he is voicing his understanding of their plight. A person who wishes to solve a problem must first recognize that it exists. Judging from the comments of Senators McCain and Clinton, they are totally clueless.

Perhaps Senator Clinton would be a good running mate for Senator McCain. They seem to have the same perspective on economic issues.

We, the people, are so proud of you!

This was a generalization. As everyone knows, if you make a generalization, there are people who undoubtedly do not fall into that category. But, it's not like he created a situation that does not exist. It's common, and likely in the democratic race, you found one single issue that one candidate agrees with that the other doesn't, and that's why you support who you do. And that is why he's right.

You've got to know what he's saying. People don't vote (or at least haven't for a while) economic policy because politicians lack the ability to explain the economy is comprehensible terms. People vote what they can understand and the politicians pick up on it and craft carefully polled polarizing statements around that.

You Go Obama & Pennsylvaina!
