Just tell me: 1- Why Obama made a speech opposing the War in Iraq but then did not continue an aggresive campaing against it when he run for office in Chicago? Was it because patriotism was high and important for his campaing that year and it will not look good. Also he even declared that had he been in the USA Senate he might have voted for the War or did not know how he might voted. 2- Does Obama really had a good and better judgement? Why was he part of the church in Chicago and close to his pastor for 20 years. Did not recognize that he knew about his pastor's comments first and then change his position. And finally separated himself from the pastor when his rate in the polls were going down becuase the pastor said that he was a regular politician. 3- What kind of movement has Obama created? Is it a poitical, social or just a movement for the elections. And after the election what? Also does he provide a platform for the movement that will allow people to really know where are we heading and going? Is it really a change or is it just a way to get support for the election. Why does he create the movement now and not when he was in Chicago several years ago or when he became a US Senator? 4- CHANGE... is the change only about special interest? does he really think that he will change Washington by going against the lobbyst and the special interest. He knows better than that unless you really change the structure of the society and the political circles of power saying that you will change Washington by fighting the special interest is also a band-aid to the real problems we have. Is he willing to go all the way? 5- So why is Clinton part of the status quo but Senators Kerry and Kennedy are not? If you are against the status-quo is he going to ask those Senators and others that also represent the status-quo in Washington to leave their positions and allow new Senators to come to Washington. Why is he makling deals with them then? It seems to me that Obama is not really that different from other politicians but he portrays himself as he would be and a lot of average Americans who are hungry for a real change want to believe he really is even when in the bottom of our hearts we know he really isn't. Sure Peter, we believe you.

HRC and Obama are very similar on all policies, be they foreign or domestic. There may be some small differences on issues and Ideas to solve problems, but not a great chasm. Obama has longer legislative experience since he started in the state senate in Illinois in '97 and HRC as NY senator in '2001. So what else could it be? As for the Rev. Wright issue, Obama must have missed a lot of church, because I have not heard him say anything that resembles the remarks Wright has said.

Hillary Clinton is not a quitter! She knows want our country's wants are. Hillary Clinton knows what are our peoples needs are, and she will hit the White House floor a runnin, as she does not need to be tutored as she is experienced in the world of Washington and the world. The People need jobs. Hillary Clinton will work to make the state of our economy, First on the agenda. This will keep roofs over the people's heads and food on their plates. It will also help to restore our Right to Dignity, which comes hand in hand with employment and a paycheck, but mysteriously disappears when the pink slip makes it's dread appearance. Obama can go around in a pair of jeans and make his attempt to make a victory lap around the Senate chambers. The race is not over! The good people of West Virginia can make that upstart eat that pair of jeans, by supporting the experienced candidate, the one who will not forget you after election day, the one who knows what the people need. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Now, Now, Now! Give Hillary a chance. Give Hillary your support. Help Hillary to help you! The fight ain't over yet Mr. Obama! The People come first and they deserve a President who has experience solving problems, not creating problems. West Virginians, You can make history which will make your children's children proud.

He is a regular politician not different from Kerry, from Kennedy or from Hillary the real different is that Hillary never pretended to be and we are not stupid we now know what Obama has done (nothing relevant neither in Chicago nor in Washington), what his record is and more important that he has played with the dreams of voters for his political ambition.
