EUGENE, dude, calm down. Since when has the right to change our minds been taken from us?

I, for one, am glad that Sen. Obama has not taken federal funds..... how about this idea....... LET'S USE THE 84.1 MILLION HE IS NOT USING AND PAY OFF SOME OF THE OVER $10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT? OR HELP SOME FOLKS THAT HAVE NO HEALTHCARE WITH IT? OR USE IT TO IMPROVE VETERAN'S BENEFITS!

I don't see how people are upset about this? IS IT BECAUSE SEN. OBAMA HAS RAISED A RECORD AMOUNT OF MONEY? Jealousy takes many forms.

And to all of you voting for McCain, hope you will be happy with more of the same!

MORE WAR, EVEN WITH IRAN...... A 100 YEARS IN IRAQ

MOUNTING NATIONS DEBT, OVER $10 TRILLION!

God help us!

THE TRUTH IS OBAMA IS AGAINST ANYTHING HE DONT BRING UP HIMSELF.HE IS SO ARROGANT, HYPOCRTICAL ,AND JUST AN AROUND CON MAN. HE DONT EVEN WANT MCCAIN, OR HRC TO GIVE OUR COUNTRY SOME KIND OF RELIEF ,EVEN IF ITS SHORT TERM. HE TALKS BOTTOM UP .WHAT A JOKE HE IS. HE TALKS A SMOOTH TALK BUT BRINGS NO PLAN FOR EVEN A SHORT TERM SOLUTION.O.B. IS STUCK ON HIMSELF. HRC WAS IN THIS FOR US ,NOT LIKE O.B. TO MAKE HISTORY. YOU YOUNG VOTERS HAVE ALOT TO LEARN.MAYBE WHEN OUR COUNTRY GETS ATTACKED WORST THAN 911 YOU WILL WAKE UP. IT MIGHT JUST BE IN YOUR BACKYARD THIS TIME.

This man is acting like a super president.......far more prestigious than any other president this country has ever had.

Now, he has even got his own presidential seal.....before he is elected. And, he's now talking about his white family only, not his african roots much.

The sheer arrogance of the man. This is the guy that was handpicked to elevate our country? This is the guy that you all tried to destroy Hillary for? WHY!

Many many bad things about Obama. Time will tell.

I understand the Oil Companies already have 68 million acres of land that they have never explored for oil. That is why the Dems keep turning down the off shore drilling projects. Why give them more until they do something with what they already have.

Some times it is hard to change your mind, except when it is some thing that will be better for the people, in this case oil. of course it is not for short term but we have to start some time. What do you want .... keep pay higher higher gas prices. We can still develope other types of energy at the same time.People are really hurting are we going to keep debating this foer another 20 years. I,m glad McCain flip floped on this.

Senator Obama turns down public financing and the GOP calls that flip-flopping.

Senator McCain said no off-shore drilling last week, but this week he is for it; and the news media calls it adjusting his views. This may be true, but McCain didn't change his view until President Bush told him to change. Plus none of this drilling will help us today.

Why are we trying to fix tomorrow's problems with last year's answers. Don't you think it is time for America to lead the world in energy usage? No, that makes too much sense. We should keep on doing things the way we always have.

It is totally absurd that democrats don't see the need to accelerate oil production, since it is oil that is the current energy base of our society. Why don't they know that? Didn't any of them ever read anything, or then again, maybe none of them ever used a gas pump.

By the way Bam! Nice move on McSame and his thugs for not going along with the public funding! I love it!

This means McSame has to really hit the air running because he will need to attend a lot of fund raising each week to generate money for his campaign!

I see no reason why you should have to bow down to McSame -if he wants to win this election... let him work for it!

I guess Hillary and her "bitter" Clinton supporters need Obama (and supporters) more than Obama needs Hillary..

Obama can win those battle-ground DEM states without the help of Hillary.

Hillary needs the help of Obama to pay her sagging bills, loans etc. This is how terribly Hillary managed her campaign. I guess Hillary and her bitter followers need to beg Obama to come their help!!!

Bottom line, call on McCain to help retire Hillary's debts, loans...!

You picked and installed Obama.

You had to savagely and unfairly attack and demean HRC to do it.

Obama is a cheating hypocrit who bullied and threatened his way into the nomination.

I will vote ONLY for HRC.

Yeah right.

You savaged the good woman.

I will NEVER vote democratic again.

Get back to your own ideals. Stop swiftboating your own. Stop meddling with fair elections. Stop installing the left wing puppet.

Then come back and discuss unity.

I did not care for how Hillary was treated- most unfairly and hatefully.

I did not care for how Obama was treated- like god's gift and royalty.

I did not like how you sacrificed the BEST candidate- HRC- just to advantage and install the puppet.

Glad the kids are all happy... and glad the AAs feel like he is legitimate. But most of us see right through this con man.

No vote from me for Obama.

I left the democratic party over the sad handling of this primary.

Hillary Clinton is the ONLY democrat I will EVER vote for in the future.

By: enough for this old geezer

enough for this old geezer — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:05:33 +0000

The democrats publicly displayed the abuse that occurs in a dysfunctional family- complete with the domestic violence.

Degrade, demean the woman- with vile, vulgar insults and hatred.

Throttle, bash and attack her into submisiion.

Beat her down and tell her she is worthlesa and should quit.

Then when you succeed and RAISE UP THE GREAT OBAMA- we will all bow down and submit and kiss and make up.

Fools. The NEW DEMOCRATS are full of bias and intolerance and hatred of everyone who dares to disagree with them. They want to win- even if it means lying and cheating and strong-arming others into doing what you demand.

The OLD, traditional democrats will gladly defect from the party, so that you can eagerly embrace all the hateful, selfish newbie leftists. We were turned off by this biased primary.

Good luck to you all.

No vote fro Obama from this old geezer who believes in fair elections on a level playing field.

Will he work with states whom have Republican Governors? I'm tired of his "across the aisle" rhetoric while he only meets with Democrats.

It also sounds like he is against state rights by talking of partnerships and speaking against Sen. McCain's thoughts on states deciding if drilling is allowed. I thought we were a union of individual states, and the Federal government had a limited role. The more Obama talks, the more I fear his agenda. It truly does appear he wants a socialist nation where the government controls everything.

We are spending 100% more money on Gas and Food; Our wages didnt increasing 100%; Bush and Congress knew that it is coming; they are used to Ban-Aid management; Unfortunately, they don't care; Look at Brazil, they adopted a new policy Sugar Cane based Ethanol. What did we do Corn that gives 1/3rd of ethanol that sugar cane produces; Wrong policies; GM cars can run with Ethanol in Brazil and not in the US, GM blames on law-makers(no on OIL Lobby)!!! We need change; hope Obama brings it, otherwise next four years, gas at $6/Gal and 200% more than what we are paying now!!!

Of course I will forgive and forget all the corruption and dirty politics you resorted to just to fix the nomination for Obama.

I'm okay with sending the message that a campaign of hate and destruction is A-okay with me.

Next time, I want to see even more rabid attacks on the more qualified candidate.... whatever it takes to stack the deck in favor of the weaker and less qualified candidate.

I enjoyed the mean and nasty cruelty shown to HRC. I hope that sets the stage for how the NEW democratic party will be, going forward.

Sure... yeah... I'll unite.

No better than Joe Biden for our beloved country. But I look at Biden more as a President than a VP. But if he was to become one and hopefully stay for 8 years, then run for the President and stay for another 8 years, we would probably reverse the catastrophe this administration has showered upon us and our generation to come.

One can day dream a little.
