Obama is such a phony!!! I don't believe anything he says anymore. Talk about same old Washington politics! He changes his tune to every crowd he is trying to get votes or donations from. Obama has great rhetoric and he will use it to fool the American public. Obama obviously thinks the Federal government is the solution to everything – and believe me, if he is elected, the Federal government will have their hands in everything, including our paychecks. Forget our freedoms. Forget a bigger net pay check. Our taxes will go up and up and up!!! Forget feeling safe. Iran will get Nuclear. And our troops will leave the middle east, never to return. He says they will be peace keeping troops like the old peace corp around the world. Peace keeping at the expense of what – our freedoms and liberties and safety? America, please wake up before we are lulled to sleep by this man with great rhetoric but no experience and terrible judgment!

I'm so tired of theseObamaites with their Pollyanaish view that once Obama gets in the White House we'll all join together and sing Kumbaya. Wake up and smell the partisanship. Obama has limited experience and if he gets in Republicans and Clinton lovers are not going to just sit by and let him bring us together. If you like Obama, fine, but squelch those delusions of grandeur.

We need Hillary not Obama,I've voted democrat all my life (70)yrs and I'll vote for Mc Cain if he's all we have to vote for. Smooth talking is CHEAP, but getting things done is what counts and Hillary can do that!!!!! Come on you voters, wake up and see what he's really up to!!!!

Obama and McCain both said they were "not going to run that type of politics." The fact that Obama is criticizing McCain on it is hilarious. Now isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

Great spin-Mr. Obama.
These are the facts:
Obama said, "as a President, I will negotiate with everyone without pre-conditions".
As a result, Hamas expect to do some negotiations with Obama. Therefore, Hamas would like for Obama to become President.
So, I do not understand why Obama is accusing McCain of going sort of crazy because he made a statement based on what Obama and Hamas have said.

Seeing how Barak Obama is bi-racial it's amazing how some people try to attack him by saying he's against a certain race.

The majority of this country is not "pure" white– no matter how many people try to claim that they are. It's 2008 and everyday whites, blacks, hispanics, asian, etc are procreating together and have been for a very very very long time. So look past the skin and focus on the person.

I haven't gotten this excited about a candidate since... Ever! Obama is what we need to get out of this rut.

Good for you Obama for pointing out the truth. Although yes – most people seem to think McCain never had his bearings to begin with.

I am so proud of my candidate Barack Obama who has endured more unfair flack than anyone in modern political history and has still managed to keep his cool and truthfulness. I admire him greatly and believe the press, including my beloved CNN in the last few weeks, has been way too hard on him. Please Barack do not pick Hillary Clinton as your VP candidate! She has told so many lies against you and has played the race card that she is unfit to be in anything more than the Senate, if that.

Hillary is the only answer at this point for the Democratic party unfortunately people don't want to realize that Barack Obama...can only win RED STATES in a blue primary where there are a lot of African Americans.....at least Bill and Hillary Clinton in a general election would be capable of actually winning.....If I don't see Hillary emerge as the nominee...I'll be voting for John McCain at least he is patriotic and has given service to this country, Barack Obama has done nothing except cater to the black vote.

"Yes we can" is simply a campaign slogan. It's not used to "explain" Obama's position on healthcare, housing, taxes, defense. Talk about simple-minded.

Indeed. If McCain keeps messing up Sunnis and Shias and keeps getting rattled by innocent questions from voters, the cool-headed Obama will have a much easier road to the White House. Obama seems so much calmer as it is - I can't wait until they get to the debates and Obama looks so much calmer and more collected than the maverick. http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

For those females who want to switch to Mccain, you are telling me you would rather give up your "Right to Choose" and watch your nieces, nephews, friends or relatives continue to fight a war for oil (as stated by Mccain). This means you are saying to all the democrats that you don't give a crap how many soldiers die, as long as Senator Obama is not the president. NOW THAT IS JUST SAD!!!

Do the leaders of Iran and Syria count as terrorists or supporting terrorist ideas? Barrack, as president, sitting and chatting with these folks is NOT American policy nor would it benefit America. BHO is out of line when saying ANY of his policies are in line with McCain's. BHO must be remembering conversations with his other terrorist supporters.

Obama will never be President. Americans will never vote for someone who has proven that he is not a true Patriot. Anyone with good judgement would have walked out of that church. It only took Oprah a couple of years to figure out Rev Wright.

all of you people vowing to vote mccain if Senator Clinton does not get the nomination are VERY scary. We are in the midst of earth shattering deficits, bad trade deals (that senator clinton supported), a conservative leaning supreme court, stagnate wages, skyrocketing education and healthcare costs and we can not afford four more years of a Republican agenda.

Come together regardless of whether it will be Senator Obama or Senator CLinton. We CAN NOT AFFORD JOHN MCCAIN!!!

No one is entitled to crap. That was that mentality that got the current bush in the white house. That he is the son of a former president. Hes got to be good. This is not a monarchy. Any individual is allowed to run, no one in entitled to anything.

Thats the problem with the Hillary Supporters, they have a sense of entitlement as thought this is due to them. Sorry, it isnt.

Vote Obama and he will be made president of the United States of America according to the constitution of the United States of America.

He will serve you and your interests. He will be role model for all American Youth. He is just the man at the moment and no one takes it from him.

There is a saying which goes like the following: if God says yes, then it is yes. Case close. Vote Obama and heal this nation and promise you will never regret.

I rest my case.

Hamas is not a terrorist organization. The U. S. and Israel labeled them a terrorist organizationt because they don't really want peace in the Middle East. Please listen to former President Carter and what he says about Hamas.
