Obama is really a proactive leader who knows how to handle crazy, immature, and important issues. Unlike, some who don't even know how to get on the internet or operate a computer.

I mean to result to trying to get dirt on someone is pretty pathetic. I mean if this is the best they can do to try and eliminate their opponent then they are in trouble. Besides, his birth certificate is none of their business and neither ours. If presenting your birth certificate was an open policy then why do our government have it as a sensitive document; because it's fools like those who want access to someone personal information for their own profitable gain.

Barack is akin to a high school student who just graduated from "space camp" and now has been chosen to Command the next Nasa Space Shuttle Mission to Mars? His experience when this campaign gears up and gets closer to the fall will falter on that one note alone. He cannot ride above substance in a national campaign.

If your team loses a game do you cry foul too? Did the Red Wings honestly win the Stanley Cup, etc? In every contest - whether a game or election - there are winners and losers. I have rooted for candidates and teams that have lost but don't go around smearing the winners...let's see some maturity and reasonable thoughts in these comments!

I have no respect for Clinton supporters that choose to vote McCain out of spite for Obama. That clearly oozes with the puss of reverse sexism and racism. The next time you take out the trash, take those attitudes with you. I for one have received hundreds of smear letters aimed at Clinton, Mcain and Obama in my email. Interestingly enough, without exception all of the smear letters that I received had no reference to what their source was. That says it all for me. If you cant quote a source then you have no basis in fact from which to justify your claims. I chose to do the research myself on all three candidates through the internet and to spend the time listening to what they had to say in their respecitive speeches. There is a whole lot of crap out there floating around that is totally unfounded and has no bering in any truth anywhere. My put to all of us in this country is to do your own research, make your own decisions and pay little to no attention to the smear letters that come into your inbox.....unless of course they actually reflect their sources...those might just have an ounce of truth to them somewhere.
