Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:00:27 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=6580#comment-931080 I think Sen. Obama is a very upfront and honest man. He CAN answer the tough questions, of which the press aren't asking. The "press" only wants to know about Rev. Wright, or his "bitter" statements, and after explaining those situations a dozen times, he's understadably, tired of answering the "same old" questions. Which he's answered gracefully and articulately. Why aren't they asking Sen. Clinton about that BIG LIE she told about Bosnia? What about how she and Pres. Clinton earned over $100 million dollars as a senator and EX-president? Or how she is still taking money from special interest groups and lobbyists? (AND NO, BARACK HAS NOT TAKEN ANY DURING HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMAPAIGN!!) So I just want to say to all the Clinton supporters out there, "Do we live in England?" I ask that, because if you notice, this country has been run by two wanna-be "royal" families for over 25 yrs. And look at where we currently are. We need a CHANGE. And another Clinton is not CHANGE. That's history repeating. I believe the $200+ million Sen. Obama has raised from ordinary CITIZENS, says more than any words I could express in this posting. To all PA Voters: Vote smart tomorrow, don't vote for '92-00. Vote for the change we need right now.. Vote for a better America..Vote for Barack Obama... Thanks for reading.... Rob in NJ.

Check out YouTube and search for Peter Paul/Hillary Clinton. Hillary has been expose for a crime she denies whole heartly and she was caught on film again. Hillary is a BIG FAT LIAR. I voted for her in California but just over 15 months, has persuaded me to vote for Barack Obama. She talks negative about the democratic party member as if she works for the Republicans. It's true she relies on the African and Hispanics American vote (whom she care nothing about) to get her through the primaries and caucases. She has nothing else to gain other than to destroy the Democratic Party if she doesn't get her way. DNC, please shut Hillary down before its too late. If she can't have her way, she'll bring everyone down with her including the DNC.

Wait wait I meant to say, that it is okay for Hilliary to have women for hillary on her website and that is not sexist. While don't you dare mention any minority to support Obama and that would be using the race card. Huum, I'll just stick to the cnadidates are busy trying get the last votes they can and don't want to spend any time catering to the press. Nope! That makes too much sense. I guess America is too smart to be fooled by the press. First you say he is always in the press. Now, you are saying he is avoiding the press. I don't recall seeing Senator Clinton making any press conferences either. No, that wouldn't be fair because the BLACK man still needs to prove himself in everything he does. Wait wait I meant to say, that it is okay for Hilliary to have women for hillary on her website and that is not sexist.

I suppose he wants to make sure he does not put his foot in his mouth. He is really someone's puppet and he is only allowed to speak to the media when he is allowed. I would really like to know who is pulling his strings. Got to be someone who is throwing his or her money into his campaign. I wonder who that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope when all of this is over we don't hear that some illegal happenings went on in his campaign. Anyway, money does not always buy what you want. Clinton, I am behind you 100%.

Hasn’t anyone heard of the old phrase, “birds of a feather, flock together”? Let’s face it, let’s take a look at Mr. Obama’s close friends, first there’s the Chicago slumlord, then there’s controversial pastor who is pushing all these conspiracy theories (it’s one thing to have such theories, it’s another thing to be spewing hate talk from your mouth to your parishioners when you are suppose to be inspiring them with God's love) and now we know for a fact, it’s not media hyperbole, that Mr. Obama is “close friends” with a known terrorist, Bill Ayers from The Weather Underground, who has admitted to having NO REMORSE over what he was trying to do 40 years ago. Mr. Obama can try to underestimate the American intelligence but I don’t care if Mr. Obama was 8 years old or not; the bottom line is, if the man has no remorse than he would do it all over again regardless of how much time has gone by and Mr. Obama should be more discerning of the friends he keeps.

Mr. Obama has now made a third statement that he has had to pull back and say “what he meant was…” His last statement was a real winner. I wonder how many children who have been born to teenage mothers feel as though they are a punishment to their mothers and on top of that what message is he sending to all the children/people whose teenage mothers chose to take on their responsibility and bring them into the world – that they are a punishment and better off dead? This man can talk the talk all he wants about HOPE but this man can't even see how a teenage mother bringing her child into the world is not only a great act of courage but it is a huge act of HOPE & here our potential Democratic candidate says that he would not want his teenage daughter to be "punished by a baby". Nice. The man has no idea what he’s saying and because he's feeling confident that he’s going to win this election he is slipping up and his true thoughts/opinjons are coming out - accidentally. I think a lot of his supporters do not want to admit it because they don’t want to feel duped like the people who supported President Bush, Jr. feel now.
