Hey BLACKMAN4MAC - you sure your not in the ghetto, you certainly sound like it. All you are to MCDUMMY is cheap labor. Bet you think all white people like you too don't cha?

I think that we put a little to much into some one being part of the service…how many people in washington,have did a tour…how many do you think that have kids that have….A big fat one!!!don't believe the hype…

"Affirmative action run amock"

YOU SIR, ARE A MORON. PERIOD!

Again we have some one question his values,because he went to a church that had a preacher say some dumb things..If a white man/women sat in there home and listen to there father say bad things for eighteen years,would that make them a bad person..You don 't get to come as far as he has by not liking all people…maybe for a white person,but not us…some times i feel if god came down from the the sky and put his arm around mr obama and said he is the one..some people would still find fault….

Lol…that's right "Denise From Texas" looking in the mirror is a great regulator. Still impressed by the ad. It should be played in all 50 states. Actually, on all major networks for the world.

Obama has not helped an enemy of the US during war time create propoganda films.

McCain has.

What kind of vet is that? Not the kind that should be touting his POW ribbons as some badge of entitlement.

Obama '08

Your name is ULA NEJAD and your calling Barak Senator Hussein . Aren't you funny. What exactly are you demanding from a chat room , comment section webpage?. Why can't we just all get along? Barak has a vision for this country, what's wrong with that? Why doesn't anyone want to put your faith in a young, brilliant, charasmatic leader rather than putting your faith in a war monger that's just flat out too old? I have respect for what JMCC has done for the country, but his military record is inflated, and since when does being a POW ,make you qualified to be president?

Worried in NJ

If you are serious I would suggest you go to his campaign website. It is extremely detalied. I would also suggest you look at the wealth of Economic advisors he has and the fact that he actually listens learns from his state's mistakes is something you should take into consideration, He has good advisors on everthing and he is trying to involve mayors and governors which really helps because then it is not too brad based but down to city and State level . I feel that economically we will do so much better under an Obama Presidency.

As for the town Halls why should he have town halls set up by the McCain people? Why should they set up for him? If you have been following his campaign you'd know that he has been having smaller more intimate settings where he talks to regular people and deals with regular day to day issues. Keep abreast with his website and you will know where he has been who he visited with and what is going on. What do you consider a town hall style meeting?

It's good to know that in America a person still has the right to be an idiot. Surely you jest with some of the comments that you made. It's people like you that are ruining this country. Intolerant of others, delusional and down right thoughtless and apparently uneducated.

You say as for you and your community…….. where is that village? You know the one that elected you its idiot.

LEAVE YOUR COMENT.

MCCAINS LANDSLIDE LOSS IN NOVEMBER IS AWAITING MODERATION.

AS FOR LIBERMAN TERRORIST ATTACK—- DON'T EVEN RESPOND/LEAVE A COMMENT B/CAUSE HE WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE THE RESPONSES,THEN HE WILL THINK IS INTERACTING WITH WISE AMERICANS, HE IS A FOOL.

TWO OLD FOR NOTHING MEN IN ONE BAG.WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE BAG? —————– ANSWER PLEASE—HA HA HA HA HA HA—CONTINUE.

Hasn't Obama been a politician most of his grown life? Hell, he's never had to risk anything like putting on the uniform of his country and he's just lived off the largess of the American taxpayer. That's executive experience?

Check out the Boston Globe article last Friday. It goes beyond Rezko.. it's worse. This guy is a big phoney that the DNC is shoving down our throats.

That picture is not Obama . Unless his ears grow every time he tells a lie. Look at his ears in this picture and look at a newer one.

Obama attended Punahou Academy in Honolulu, which today cost $15,000 a year in tuition. While he attended an exclusive private school, his mother attended an unspecified graduate school. Despite having all the money to pay for all this, Obama claims that his mother collected food stamps during this time. He also claims that his mother receiving food stamps qualifies him as having a “poor” upbringing.

Obama is either lying about the food stamps, or his mother was abusing the system by collecting food stamps when she had lots of money.

Play that ad here in Arizona. Obama's got support in McCain's back yard.

I think it is a good idea. Rove and the GOP are trying to paint Obama, who was raised in a single parent household and received food stamps as elitist! Every person raised in single parent homes should rise and smile! The welfare moms can rise and smile! They are elite!! Thanks GOP!! You made the poor kids raised in single parent homes proud to called elitist!!! You Republicans always make me laugh!

Pandering again - are they bitter… or do they have dignity?

Dignity or bitter…?

“Change is the law of life, and those who look only to
the past or the present are certain to miss the future”

go obama!

Hey Rezko - Connection - it stinks no more than the Keating 5, look that up. BTW they couldn't even bring charges against Obama cause he did no wrong. Thank God we are not jailed for simply knowing criminals or we'd all be in jail you moron.

OBAMA IS ALL FOR HIMSELF. ALL YOU BRAINWASHED FOLLOWERS WILL SOON FIND OUT YOU MADE THE WORST MISTAKE IN YOUR LIVES. YOU TRASHED A REAL CANIDATE FOR OUR LEADER JUST BECAUSE OF BIAS AGAINST A WOMAN. YOU RATHER VOTE FOR A UKNOWN, ARROGANT, HYPOCRITICAL ,CONTRADICTER CON MAN ,WITH A SMOOTH SPEECH. AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR.

Thank you Obama for caring about the economy and other important issues effecting Americans and not ramming foreign policy down our throats and the possibility of another war and lying to us like your counterpart. BTW your sound judgment is far more welcoming than john mcwar's so called 'experience'. Look where that so called 'experience' got us today.

CHANGE=

I have changed my mind, I will be voting for McCain, Senator Obama has just become unbelievable to me, I dont even want to take the energy to go into all of the in your face mis-truths and arrogance.

Democrat for McCain-

When Obama's ad's appear on my TV- I simply place them on TIVO Hold, wait three minutes and then fast forward. He's not going to force me to listen to his lies.

Democrat for McCain

obama and michelle actually had to work to get where they are today..

what did the mccains do? not everyone is as lucky as cindy and be born with a silver spoon.

STUDY OBAMAS LIFE DON'T JUST READ HIS BOOKS, HIS BOOKS ARE WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW ABOUT HIM. I JUST FINISHED STUDING HIS LIFE. OBAMA = MUSLIM HIS WHOLE LIFE

i will NOT vote for war mongering or fear mongering "period!"

just say NO to war (iraq, iran, Afghanistan). It is easy to be a bully.

see what you can accomplish when you actually "talk to your enemies" (NORTH KOREA)!

OBAMA '08

Down with The Republicans and the crazy religions right and those nutty Pumapac.

CHANGE=

I have changed my mind, I will be voting for McCain, Senator Obama has just become unbelievable to me, I dont even want to take the energy to go into all of the in your face mis-truths and arrogance.

Democrat for McCain-Never thought I would vote Republican

ron…
go back and READ your own post….

then tell me that you got all of your talking point "logic" for hating Senator Obama from ANY place other than the back of a cereal box…

pathetic

We Californians would like to see the ad too.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

I just hope Obama stays true to the values that motivated so many the past few months. Increasingly he seems to be trying to placate the ignorant by moving to the middle. Criticizing General Clark for telling the truth about McLame's military experience was a bad move by Obama in my opinion. All the ads in the world will not mean a hill of beans if Obama alienates his base.

May 19, 2008: Leading Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama pooh-poohed the idea that Iran or any of a few other "tiny" nations around the world offer a serious potential threat to the United States or the free world.

"Iran, Cuba, Venezuela? These countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose any serious threat to us," he told a crowd at a campaign stop over the weekend

Worked his way through doing what? Seriously, I'd like to know. I haven't figured out what Jesse Jackson does for a living so before this goes too far how did Obama work his way through college?

Obama's webpage: Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months.

the real Obama as a habit according to himself with calling females sweety he also according to Michelle as a habit of leaving her to plunge the — out of the toilet and haul out the trash. when sen. Clinton said she was taught how to shoot a gun he ridiculed her on national television calling her Annie Oakley. again on national TV he called his grandmother who when it's politically advantageous is a saint otherwise she becomes a racist who he refers to as a typical white person. sen. obama as no respect for women and I'm sure they can see that. his latest insult is having people make over his wife to teach her how to dress walk and talk to bring her up to his standards he is a sick puppy

Obama has never had hand-outs. He worked hard and was able to get scholarships for good schools. McCon on the other hand has had handouts his entire life beginning with getting into the Naval Academy. He didn't have to work for it, his daddy pulled some strings. Then he goes into the Navy and wrecks four multi million dollar fighter aircraft. He comes home has an affair with Cindy whose daddy bought McCons way into politics. BIG difference between these two. One had hand-outs there entire life and one had to work and struggle their way through.

Barack Obama on gas prices: "I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment. The fact that this is such a shock to American pocketbooks is not a good thing. But if we take some steps right now to help people make the adjustment, first of all by putting more money in their pockets, but also by encouraging the market to adapt to these new circumstances more rapidly, particularly U.S. automakers…"

Economic Parity: Obama's church of 20 years says that it is one of their guiding principles (source trinity united church of christ webpage. Michelle Obama quote: "…then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."

YOU KNOW… "TEXAS TRAIL DOG"…

IF THERE WERE VIDEO OF OBAMA PERFORMING EMERGENCY OPEN HEAR SURGURY… AND 10,000 WITNESSES - "ALL" WITH SWORN AFFIDAVITS…

YOU WOULD "STILL" TEAR THIS MAN DOWN…!

i now recognize the right's strategy… DENY every sigle achievement of his while IGNORNG every single SHORTCOMING of mccains.

It's pretty sad that we teach our children to educated themselves to the fullest and to reach for their dreams and now that Obama has done this we condemn him. This is absolutely absurd that this man have to deal with this type of treatment from obviously a bunch of uneducated no filling dreamers who can't stand to see someone has accomplished great things in life. I am very proud of both he and his wife. I tell you what, I don't have a problem with telling my kids to look at them as mentors, because they are just that. Yes, they have struggled to the top and no one gave them anything. They earned it and that I can appreciate. Something many of us on this blog don't appreciate nor can understand.

Stop hating or should I say stop being a racist. This man has more experience in his pinky than some of you have in your whole life. How dare you people discredit this man in such a manner. Think of his little girls who are listening and watching how America is treating their father after we say we are the land of opportunities and freedom. Sound more like the land that only offer opportunities and freedom to those who they believe have the right color and fit their persona. Definitely not AMERICA!!!

Ula Nejad…YOU DEMAND to know the truth about Husseins campaign???? And YOU might be….????? Your hatred for people with different backgrounds is coming through. You sound very much like a redneck Republican but its hard to tell with your made up name.

Phil, FL June 30th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Hey - he had my vote at "Hi, my name is Barack Obama".

I'm so sick of the career politicians thinking their part-time jobs doing nothing in the Senate or House entitles them the Presidency.

Just Say NO to MORE WARS. Just Say NO to MORE War-Mongers/Fear-Mongers.

No To McCain.

Yes to Obama

———————————————————————————————–

Senator Obama has been a politician for much of his adult life and is currently in his 12th year of senatorial duty at either the state or national level. So, I think it's safe to lump him into the "career politican" group you talk of.

As far as I can tell, he hasn't really done much himself during his "part-time job", especially during his last position. He's spent most of it planning and running for the office of President.

If you haven't noticed, Sen. Obama is really starting to tap the brakes on his "end the war" platform. Just recently he said he would discuss the possibility of a systematic withdrawl from Iraq with the President. Quite a shift from his earlier rhetoric of pulling out immediately. But these things are not a surprise to those of us who think independently.

If you're looking for a candidate who isn't a career politician, who has accomplished a lot in their public life and one who is clearly against the war and the current Middle East policy - Sen. Obama is not your candidate. Ralph Nader is.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

Barack Hussein Osama Bin Laden is a traitor just as his followers are. He is a God to them to fill the void in their meaningless lives. That is all he is nothing more than an Anti-Christ communist, just like his followers. This is America, not Africa. If you people want to live third world, there are many parts of this country that you can move to and be just that. Third World. As for me and my community, you better stay far away. If you like Osama so much, why don't you all live in South Chicago so you can live together under him and Rezco's rule? Don't have them ruin the whole country. If you want the ghetto so bad, move there, don't try to spread it to my hood.

My troubled teen cousin was in the military. I'm sure someday he can then be commander and chief, you know, because he was in the military.

OBAMA HATERS - GET OVER IT and GET USED TO IT….get used to his name, charisma, looks, wife, children, walk, talk, hair, smile, teeth, and most of all………RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE

OBAMA / SEBELIUS -08!

To the comments by Ula Nejad. Are you equally concerned about McCain's statement that he NEVER LOVED his country until he was not in her presence or something along those lines? He, at one point, did not LOVE America! OMG!

Mr. Obama has said he likes high gasoline prices.<-FALSE…statement inconclusive
Mr. Obama has said he will tax gasoline to make it cost more.<-FALSE!
Mr. Obama is for economic parity rather than equal opportunity.<-REALLY FALSE…Republican slander…
Mr. Obama will quit Iraq and allow the middle east to plunge into chaos.<-GEEZ…You really don't listen do you???
Mr. Obama thinks that Iran is no big deal.<-FALSE!!! And, huh???
Mr. Obama has little meaningful experience.<-Finally you have something here…

Barely…

Texas Trail Dog…

Obviously, you did not go to college or else you would know that it can be done.

Because I cannot afford to pay for college for my daughter, she got grants, loans , scholarships and is working to pay for her education. She got a position in her apartment building as the floor manager which now pays for her room and board until graduation.

She may not be at Harvard, but she is making it work for what she needs to do to get her degree.

great example for ALL Americans…

mike form NYC…thanx for your comment, i guess centuries of discrimination have been a figment of our imagination….

cry me a river?
how bout "say it loud"

Gee whiz - now Bama is trying to appeal to the people he snubbed. I notice this ad will be shown in those states where he's in trouble. Is this really Bama trying to appeal or is someone pulling the strings - puppet Bama, scary. Either way this guy should display a danger flashing sign everytime he makes a move !

Does Bush have a humble begginings? Just asking….

———————————————————————————————–

No. But he is not a part of this election, so that doesn't really matter.

VotePact

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

Dignity? LOL! Why not air an ad called Rezko, how Obama made money in Chicago?

Once again for all the INTELLIGENT people -

Alot of you are saying you can't vote for Obama because he flip flops….. and that is a reasonable argument about his stance on issues. Fair enough. Now let's look at it with a little logic, ok. If you went on a road trip, printed out by Mapquest ( or your GPS) and WAY down the road you found out you got incorrect information and you are going the wrong direction ( you are lost), would you turn around or be like Chris Columbus and "search for the east by sailing west"? Well I would turn around… If Bush and Mccain take a position and they found out it is wrong they will never change course. AMERICANS WAKE UP, you must change course if you are headed the wrong direction. Flip flopping to get to the correct solution shouldn't be a crime….. We make it a crime and see what happen, the economy suffers. Bush was so scared of going back on his word………… NOW WE SUFFER. Is this why you need Mccain?

SUE, Sorry but Obama will win Florida, Especially with Crist and McCain planning to DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW….

THANK YOU CRIST AND MCCAIN

Definition of a chameleon: a small lizard whose skin changes color, especially according to it's surroundings. Sound familiar? Obama is that lizard.

Y'all want substance:
He knew Iraq was a bad idea while most sheep followed in line (including me i believed my gov blindly sorry won't happen ).
He believes in diplomacy and not shoot first and then duck.
He is actually intelligent.
He knows what it feels like to be both black and white in America.
He is charismatic, he is eloquent, and when he gets up in front of the United Nations and speaks everyone will say WOW!
Bring on the voting booths,
President Barack Hussein Obama will Rock in 08!

I wonder if Joe Liberman is the one that is going to launches the new terror attack. Please stop scaring people for political reason. America, it is not true no terror attack in 2009. If there is one Joe Lieberman and the Republican Party is behind it.

Linda….GET OVER IT!

Poor little guy had to suffer through private school and Harvard!

Let's get this right. He worked his way through Harvard–was this work that was paying his own tuition/costs( or just earning drug and cigarette money).

I'd like to know more.

Its PUMA hunting season, folks. Dont forget to do your part to thin out the PUMA herd. Get yours bagged today, because they are becoming an endangered species.

I checked out some Google stats on these PUMA (And related) websites. They are lying about their numbers, they claim Millions, but only have a few thousand actual active members. If you read their posts, they are pretty much making stuff up, even claimimg Barack called Hillary a b-word. Funny because that was actually McCAin. HA!

There leverage is nil and their sad attempt at a movement is impotent.

Just a loud vocal few pretending they have some power and chasing shadows while they are stuck in the middle 2 stages of grief.

MAybe we should start up our own website: HillaryLostSoGetOverIt.com

Obama 08′

You don't hear anything about the so-called "Rezko connection" because it's negligible. Don't you think if there was anything there someone on Fox Noise would've jumped on it by now? If it stunk that bad, they'd be waving it in your face as much as possible.

All they can do is try to keep the whispers, emails & innuendo going, hoping you won't do some research for yourself.

oh i forgot if people are saying that macain gave away secrets and that he was treasonous to the country , you better have your facts because otherwise i hope you are accountable to the full extent of the law for trying to destroy a man who could of got out but stayed with his men in the pow camp. enough of trying to destroy a war hero and trying to make obama more qualified for the presidency when he is not!!!!!!!!!!!

"Sorry folks, but the day an african american is the leading contender for election to the highest office on the planet, in spite of his complete lack of any qualification to even be a regional manager at Denny's, is the day that we can officially say that Affirmative Discrimination has completely run its course. Can we end this reverse racism now?"

Right, because a Harvard education and well-versed in Constitutional law, must be an idiot. Jesus people, get a grip. Better yet, use more than 1/16 of your mental capacity.

It's about time someone had the guts to question John McCain's qualifications whether he was a POW or not doesn't qualify him exemptions from being questioned, but McCain believes he's exempt or is that entitled.

Someone said they don't know what exactly will Obama do, even though they find his speeches inspiring.
Speeches are not overrated - they are meant to be inspirational - and it is a president's main duty to inspire. If he has the judgement to choose the right people for his cabinet, there are others to carry out the nitty gritty for him.
As for substance, I think Obama's website has more detailed plans, especially about alternative energy etc. than Mccain's. An inspirational speech may not be the appropriate place to list out bullet points.
I do feel that the Obama campaign must find other ways to publicise these details for those that do not surf the net- such a newspaper ads.

a true man of the people.

this must be the people obama hired to quickly attack and ridicule any one who states a truth about him.He is not fit to be president.he is a liarer and a flip-flopper on everything. he has good judgement?give us all a break will you how on earth can you in all reality spin that and be believed?he hangs around with marixst , he has a anti- american hater church sure he left it at the last minute when the polls went against him, he hung out with the black panthers, he is friends of bombers.Yah he helped people as a senator in illinois all right aske them how they feel with the contracts he gave to people to build low cost housing they had to be torn down and they made money their is a great video on this and he kept giving contracts as senator he never helped those people he just furthered his career. he is all about himself. for clark to attack macain is disgraceful and he cheapened himself in the action he took.for obama to be more qualivied for the presidency no way he couldn't even be brave enough to make desions and vote on them he is wishy washy and weak. he uses others to do the smearing and pulling down of people and then tries to look innocence. not buying it he did this repeatedly to clinton and bill. you don't stand for anything but yourself hopefully the eyes and ears of the american people will open and see the light.

justsaynodeal to Obama. Period!

OBAMA DID NOT HAVE HUMBLE BEGINNINGS. HE HAS ALWAYS HAD WEALTHY GRANDPARENTS WHO SUPPORTED HIM AND PUT HIM THROUGH COLLEGE AFTER COLLEGE. HE CHOSE HIS OWN "PEACE CORPS" THING, BUT HE NEVER WAS POOR LIKE HIS CONTEMPORARIES IN THE PEACE CORPS. HE HAS BEEN SUPPORTED ALL ALONG BY THE CHICAGO BLACK POLITICIANS AND HIS WIFE HAS BEEN A HIGH EARNING LAWYER SINCE RIGHT AFTER COLLEGE. BALONEY ON THE THOUGHT THAT HE IS A COMMON WAGE EARNING MAN. . .

okay BigACE, how about these reasons:

Mr. Obama has said he likes high gasoline prices.
Mr. Obama has said he will tax gasoline to make it cost more.
Mr. Obama is for economic parity rather than equal opportunity.
Mr. Obama will quit Iraq and allow the middle east to plunge into chaos.
Mr. Obama thinks that Iran is no big deal.
Mr. Obama has little meaningful experience.

Boycott Rush loud mouth and Fixed news.

I know Obama will fight for the litte guy/girl

Go OBAMA

For the guy saying reverse discrimantaion why because for the last years oops I mean for ever there has been nothing but white men (No Woman, blacks, Jewish, Hispanics, Asians, Indian american - I really can go on for ever but, I won't ) running this country. times are changing and progress is being made no matter how much you are against it or try to fight it. So please do us all a favor and just go away

Go Obama

To Affirmative Action run Amok:
You need to call the cleaners and see if your sheet (aka your KKK hood) is out of the cleaners. A person like you should want to hide his/her face. Can't believe a person with a mentality such as yours would even know how to spell, let alone vote.

WELL SAID BIGACE!!!!!!!! These OBAMA HATERS ARE FULL OF IT!!!

OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!

JAYE YOUR 100% RIGHT. HE IS THE WORST HYPOCRITE AND CONTRADICTER I HAVE EVER SEEN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. HE IS ALSO VERY ARROGANT AND ON HIMSELF. AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR.

Die hard racists will use any ploy/excuse to mask their racist feelings. Read the man's books. He comes from humble beginnings and is not ashamed or afraid to say it. He has lifted himself through hard work and then when he was up he didn't keep running he stopped to help others who needed help desperately. Barack Obama is a rare and wonderful human being. He will bring change despite the fact that he has to struggle in a system like the American political machine to get to a place where he can effect this change. How on earth is he expected to change things when he is not yet in a position to do so and he has to CONSTANTLY defend himself from one onslaught after another. I thought Hillary Clinton was mean!! it's only just begun! I am amazed that he has not lost courage and is still standing. What a poor indictment of the American Political system. Barack Obama is cut of the cloth of a young idealistic John Kennedy. Given the chance he will do America proud. God bless him

I Don't understand why people want to question the patriotism of Obama and his wife. The truth of the matter is this country does not have a perfect past, and at times millions of people had reason to not be so proud of this country. I can mention several, slavery, jim crow, imprisonment of japanese americans, sexist discrimination, the iran-contra affair, watergate, and who knows what other atrocities that the public doesn't know about yet.
I'm proud that this country has come together to right its wrongs and change its mistakes, but yet I believe people would be dishonest with themselves if they say they are proud of this country even when atrocities where being committed and approved by our government. Come to think about it you have people that are proud of those dark spots in our history. People who believe they are entitled because of their race or financial status, people who don't want to see this country change for the better. I'm betting those are the people who will vote for McCain in november. As for me I do BELIEVE!! GO OBAMA!!!!!!!

Clark asked a real questions, since when does being a POW make you more qualified to be President. McCain is using his history as a POW to say that it makes him a better President then he needs to be asked why! I was in pain for 6yr with a bad hip I then had hip surgery, but now it does not mean that I qualified to be an orthopedic surgeon

Welcome to America, Mr. President! We are the ones that you ahve been waiting for and YOU and the ONE that we have been waiting for. Love you!!!

I am not sure why everyone is going on with the attacks of one another and completly ignored my question. You quite frankly are making me even more worried. I am seeing that you folks will fight tooth and nail for Mr. Obama, however you also have no idea if he has any substance.

.
It is interesting to see all of the sheeple following blindly behind the Pide Pipper of Obamaville.

Will they ever wake up and see this guy for what he really is????

WAKE UP America, if you vote for Obama, you vote for a Socialist, 1 step from a Communist!!.

.

HEY SHANE ITS ALL ABOUT HIM go to obamas website read his policies listen to his speeches and he will tell you how hes bringing change educate yourself a little about him stay off fox news watch c span go on the senate goverment website look at all the things obama has voted for and against start doing your own research instead of being on these blogs beliving rumors and lies than you wouldnt have to ask stupid questions!!

Good commerical spot Obmaa 08

He has had my vote from Day One.

Lets get um Obama 08

To all the OBAMA Haters:

If you want to try and persuade us that you have some new credible information that would lead us not to vote for OBAMA, please post it here and let us do some research on the matter.

Your lame comments, for which you offer not factual substantiation, lets us know the real reason you post your message.

As it has been stated before, but I'll state it once again………………….

WE WON'T FALL FOR THAT TRICK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put up or shut up! The fact that your post has nothing whatsoever to do with the responding to the post speaks of itself.

Even if the caption read: "OBAMA saves cat from tree", you would complain about him taking away jobs from the local animal care office.

Great ad for those who don't know his life's story."

For all you Obama haters, ask Senator McCain about the Keating 5.

To Alone in VT :

With comments like those I understand why you are alone …

Sen. Obama definitely should have stood by Gen. Clark becasue he spoke the truth, nevertheless; the truth will prevail. And I will say, I understand why Obama choose to do what he did. He is a defuser and I respect him for that.

What a great TV AD. Sen. Obama has a lifetime of experience in service to this country - as a Community Organizer helping working families who were hit hard by the loss of their jobs, as a teacher of constitutional law, as a civil rights lawyer, and he has a very strong record of accomplishments in the U.S. and Illinois Senate in Ethics/Transparency, Foreign policy, Health care, Energy, Education, Military Issues/Veterans, Justice, Women issues, Homeland security/Disaster response, Working families, Workplace protection, and the Economy.

These are the issues the American people care about. Certainly he is the most qualified and ready on day one to lead this country in a new and better direction. Certainly he is the strongest to inspire the American people to unite together and work together for a safe and better future for all of us.

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

McCain is to be commended and respected for his great service to this country, but he does not have new policies and a vision other than what Bush has to lead us in this 21st Century.

Mr Obama you deserve to be the president of all Americans……may God bless you!!

That's right. He was raised by a single mother and did not marry a beer heiress.

This is what I promise you:
WAR WAR WAR and more WARS. Will will attack IRAN by DECEMBER 08. Get ready for the draft

I think it is funny that there are people who still doubt Obama's views on America. But here is a little reality check, He came from nothing and today He can afford to live anywhere in the world and actually do nothing.
He is giving all that up to run as our president and put himself in harms way(not just from racists) but from everyone who doesn't like the USA. (Race card played: I know, McCain is always on guard for those Jesse Jackson supporters)
If I were him I would take his and his wife's salaries and retire to a sun soaked island in Europe. And forget those constant doubters in the USA.
But please don't do this Obama because we need you. My country has been run into the ground and we can't take another four or imagine eight more years of this.
Thank you Obama and his supporters for restoring my faith in Washington. Eventually they do call on the smart guy!
Obama in 08!

To the person who wonder how Obama could become president without any experience. Obama stayed at Holiday Express!!

Don't need another lawyer in office, changing things just to help them. I don't trust Obama and never will. McCain 08

Sen. Obama definitely should have stood by Gen. Clark becasue he spoke the truth, nevertheless; the truth will prevail. And I will say, I understand why Obama choose to do what he did. He is a defuser and I respect him for that.

These are the issues the American people care about. Certainly he is the most qualified and ready on day one to lead this country in a new and better direction. Certainly he is the strongest to inspire the American people to unite together and work together for a safe and better future for all of us.

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

McCain

John McCain is a hero for enduring/surviving years of captivity - granted. BUT, absolutely nothing he learned in the prison camps prepared him to become the president of the United States. That's just a simple fact. If you're voting for him because of his Vietnam experience, then you should readily vote for ANY former military "grunt" who served on the ground and engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. That would be the highest level of "experience", wouldn't it??

Why do we question Obama's patriotism? How many Presidential nominees have not paid honor and respect the American Flag and all that she represents!? How many political figures have stood on a platform and refused to place their hand over their heart (which signifies great respect for all military (past-to present?) What other nominees or political figure began their campaign by announcing I am not going to wear the flag pin on my lapel! This was Obama's choice. Obama says his friends have not influenced him and his values, but his friend William Ayers who lives in Obama's neighborhood has stomped onthe flag many times. So when Obama decided to make it a point "I won't wear the America Flag Pin," he himself showed his loyalty and proved his questionable friends have influenced. Yes, OBAMA STARTED THIS THING HIMSELF! Just as he said himself– at times as a result of my own carelessness. If Obama can say "he is displaying lack of carelessness on the issue of the American Flag, what else will he be careless about? Obama proved in the early stages of his campaign his thoughts, his feelings, and lack of respec for the American Flagt! So WHAT MAKES HIM THINK AMERICANS shouldn't question his patriotism? SURE OBAMA WOULD LIKE FOR US TO FORGET HIS ACTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAMPAIGN. Now as his former Pastor Rev. Wright said at the press luncheon–OBAMA HAS TO SAY AND DO WHATEVER TO GET THE PRESIDENCY! Words from a former mentor of Obama.

Republicans know what exactly what Michelle meant, but they want to twist it yet again and again because they have credible issues to discuss.

Negative doesn't work in the primary on both party and it will not work now Republican.

Am still surprised that some republicans are still using Hillary Clinton name in a nagective manner. I don't know the reason behind this, but if it is to devide democrats? They should think again. Hillary is a srtong supporter of Obama presidency so do Bill and all the notable leaders that have initially supporter Hillary is nomination bid.

So, Republiacn do not use Hillary's name to stage your fight against Obama.
Democratic party is not dumb, we know those behind causing trouble by portraying that they Hillary's fans to instigate bitterness among democrats.

Please stop the devision, blog for republican if you are a republican and blog for democrats if you a democrats.

You know Maccain has no chance of winning the fall election, so they are trying to devide democrats against each other. I trust true democrats.
God Bless Americans and save Obama.

Hey Ula Nejad- Sacramento Ca:

John McCain has been saying for years that he did not love this country until he was denied her company. What you should be demanding to know is how a military brat could grow up in this country and attend one of our finest military academies, take an oath to this country, and not love or fall in love with this country until he was shot down in vietnam, imprisoned and tortured.

I don't know what to say; I have always loved my country… but, I haven't always been proud of my country.

I'm a navy brat so… I question John McCain as to why he felt this way about my country.

i like what he says about having kanasa state values number one he never lived there number 2 his mother was from kansas but let me ask you how many white women married a black man in the 1960 s kansas state values pray tell/////

I am a Democrat first and for Obama second. I would have voted for either Hillary or Barack, but am pleased that Barack has the nomination. I am old enough to remember when African Americans had to ride in the back of the bus, couldn't go to schools, and couldn't sit with everyone else at lunch counters. My friends, that was only 50 years ago. It is absolutely amazing to see how far America has come. We just went through a nomination process between a woman and an African American. Absolutely amazing. I have been sad to be an American over the last 8 years. I am now, once again proud of what my country is becoming.

McCains have completely missed the point. He is a doddering old man who is being fed sound bites that are completely out of touch with the realities of our world. Add to that the weird, grandfatherly, almost whiney way he delivered his speech, and it is apparent that Obama is going to kick his butt. Once Obama wins, I sincerely hope he gives Hillary one of the key posts on his Cabinet. She should NOT take VP, and he should NOT offer it. VP is just arm candy for the president, and is mostly ceremonial. Give Hillary something she can sink her teeth into, to fix the damage the Repubs have done over the last 8 years!!!!

Those who are quick to say REZKO.

OBAMA GAVE EVERY CENT BACK TO CHARITY.

How about you find another low uneducated attack.

Type RICK RENZI, he is McCains close friend and is actually in trouble.

Republicans know what exactly what Michelle meant, but they want to twist it yet again and again because they have credible issues to discuss.

Negative doesn't work in the primary on both party and it will not work now Republican.

Your kitchen is full of weapon, don't let us show you where they are.
If you chose to continue that rough road.

Mccain's wife is no any cleaner just like Mcccain himself. So, please don't let us go there. warning!

Obama you've got My Vote!!!!

Obama, please slam Liebermans terrorist comments, before slamming Clarks. There's nothing wrong with Clarks views, you don't have to be a genius to know spending your early years as a blacksmith doesn't qualify you to be president, so why should being a prisoner of war help qualify as presidential experience. Is McCain implying he may be captured by enemy forces again and knows how to handle captivity? Get Real!

So exactly what has McCain done for the average person in all his years in washington?
-I demand the real truth about his candidacy
Does he go to church, and why is he afraid to say so?
-those fact checking on Obama, goggle McCain & Keating Five
-Elitist, the Mccains own 15 multi million dollar personal homes
some are in tax default
-His most heart felt words is attacking Barack

what is he running On
–noun, verb, POW–

Obama is going to work hard as president. He is going to roll up his sleeves and do good things for our wounded country. :o}

As for McCain . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :o| (can't think of anything positive to say about what McCain will do for this country)

"Lifting neighborhoods stung by job loss…".. So, I suppose, after all Obama and his supporters have told us, the south side of Chicago is a much brighter place than it was before he came along. Right?

Sen. Obama, i love you and your spirit it shines thru us all those of course with true hearts and souls.

"yes we can"

Alice in Florida -

Be carful before your hate shows!

If you don't like Obama being in the news, for God's sakes—don't watch it and don't look at the ticker.

What….. ..scared Obama will be president? Take it up with God.

There is something happening when Americans who are young in age and in spirit – who have never before participated in politics – turn out in numbers we’ve never seen because they know in their hearts that this time must be different.
There is something happening when people vote not just for the party they belong to but the hopes they hold in common – that whether we are rich or poor; black or white; Latino or Asian; whether we hail from Iowa or New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, we are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction. That is what’s happening in America right now. Change is what’s happening in America.
You can be the new majority who can lead this nation out of a long political darkness – Democrats, Independents and Republicans who are tired of the division and distraction that has clouded Washington; who know that we can disagree without being disagreeable; who understand that if we mobilize our voices to challenge the money and influence that’s stood in our way and challenge ourselves to reach for something better, there’s no problem we can’t solve – no destiny we cannot fulfill. We are the change we've been seeking.

I have difficulty understanding those who try to represent Senator McCain as just a "regular guy." Setting aside spousal issues, financial problems (Keating 5 anyone) or even flip-flop city, the Senator was born the son and grandson of U.S. Admirals, educated by taxpayers at the Naval Academy, received a substantial, lifelong pension for his military service, earns a very good salary with even better (paid by taxpayers) benefits as a United States Senator, (re) married an heiress, has 8-9 homes, a bus and now a plane. It's not so much that he is out-of-touch, it's when was he ever in-touch with the hopes and aspirations of everday, regular Americans.

A true statesman. His demeanor throughout this campaign so far, has shown that he is a gentleman. He has been very supportive and complimentary of Ms. Clinton throughout the primary and, with few exceptions, has always shown himself to be above the personal attacks and gracious to her even when I felt he should be railing aginst her. he has quietly accepted all the lies and twisted truths from the Republicans and within his own party without the anger and, what I would call the righteous indignation, most others would, and have shown. I feel he is a GREAT STATESMAN and willbecome one of our GREATEST PRESIDENTS!!!

It's so true; they are just simple, work-a-day Ivy League-educated multimillionaire attorneys and prominent Chicago politicians. Certainly not wealthy elitists that SOME people would say they are…

Regardless of what you think of Obama, how can anyone not respect the fact that he came from extremely humble beginnings and is now running for President of the United States. I happen to like many things about John McCain but I don't support his position on the war or environment. We should all respect the fact that he fought for this country. Each of these candidates has strengths and weaknesses–it is shallow for some of these comments to reflect so much animosity and ignorance about either candidate. Obama will get my vote in the fall, even though he isn't a perfect candidate–I believe he represents an American Dream but even more importantly I do believe that he will is a basically honest man who has the greatest change of turning this country around and getting it back on the right track.

Oh please, you Log Cabin Repugs, now when then same clowns doing the 2004 election, what did they do, trash Kerry record. So now they war questioning, McSane record, it a foul call, give me a break. What the Gen. said is right and if the Gen said anything wrong all McSane have to do is release his miltary records. McSane camp is so quick to reply back to something that was said, all he have to do is release his records. Or he mush have something to hide. The media need to get off there butts and ask McSane where is his records and if he don't release them well the public can judge for themself. We are Stupid!!!!!!!!! Can someone please give McBaby and the rest of them crooks a bottle because they keep crying. Please put the old people to bed, but before change his depend!!!!!

how come you take my comments off more than Texas Trail Dog when Texas Trail Dog says much more hurtful, horrible, nonsensical garbage?

Yeah! Excellent…. I love it that is why he has my vote. The last president came from a household of Prestige and his Dad was President and he was a Governor - one would think he was a Prime Candidate for the White House … NOT!

Obama 08

PUMA…?!!! Really? I thought that was an extinct kind of political species who Mrs. Hillary Clinton helped to exterminate! GREAT AD, MR. PRESIDENT OBAMA..!

@Spirit of America….he very well may have been. It's interesting how people can easily pounce on the negatives of one man and make them overshawdow all the good that he has done, but the same people can't see the negatives in themselves, their family members, and own personal leaders.

Mccain Is No Hero! I Question His War Record Just Like Clark! He Is Not Qualified By His Military Service! His Voting Record Shows His Lack Of Judgement! He Pretends To Be A Was Hero While He Votes Against The Troops!

This is a real question, not being antagonistic, not being sarcastic, and not being rude. I am serious.
Can someone please tell me what and how Mr. Obama plans to do? I keep listing to his speeches and I hear a lot of powerful words and he is very inspirational, no doubt there. The problem is I have never once yet heard how he plans to do the things he says he will do. Are we supposed to take him at his word? I used to be a stout Obama supporter, sent money and everything. I am on the fence now because I have no faith in the words. I figured the “how” would come but I am not seeing it, and his refusal to do town hall meetings worries me. I am thinking there really is no substance there with him.

Senator Obama: humble, magnanimous, gracious, honest, positive, and uplifting.

Senator Mccain: arrogant, petty, divisive, deceptive, negative, and destructive.

Looks like WE chose the right candidate.

OBAMA '08

Well folks who think that Obama did something wrong by sharing a plot and house with Rezko should think again.

All the politicians have bigger mansion than Obama, and with this housing crisis that $1.5 million house is now worth less than $1 million .

AND so call
rezko did contribute to Obama's campaign and the money have been donated to charity.

Go ask Mccain to donate the money he got from those lobbyiest and that woman hater to charity.

Mccain married a rich wife because he wants to exploit her riches, but Obama turn down big money offer to work for ordinary America.

Mccain POW history was genuine, but he was paid big money when he return from war and he was offer good jobs which he accepted.

Obama respects Maccain service, but does Maccain respects' Obama honorable service in the community?

Everyone can feel better now the blogger "Archangel" MICHEAL has spoken. Did MICHEAL just call us Obama-supporters PHILLISTINES?! Unbelievable!

Seems like Spirit of America has spirit.

Congratulations Sen(Pres) Obama, I look forward to voting for you in November and witness you sworn in as President in Jan 2009.

Fire it up !

THE COMING OF OBAMA TO THE AMERICAN POLITICAL SCENE IS NOT ORDINARY, IT SIGNIFIES GOOD THINGS TO COME. ANYBODY WHO REFUSES TO VOTE FOR OBAMA COME NOVEMBER, HAS DENIED HIMSELF/ HERSELF A PART IN OUR ENVOLVING HISTORY

RIDE ON OBAMA 2008.

what is there to back this up

Rezko?
who?
big money?

obama = change we can choke on

I thing in november i will just vote "present"

CNN= the new Obama Media Network

ps

lol chuck, i'm with you

In the early days of this country (before the president was the considered the leader of the free world) , the reason for wanting this position was very different. In those days, it was not hard to believe a person wanted that position because they felt a strong desire to contribute to the growth of this country and its citizens.
We can see some of that in Obama.

Message from voters to all politicans– this country is still by the people for the people, not the special interest

Great ! So that those who wanted to believe all those crap about"elitism" would have any excuse not to think twice and re-examine their conscience. If they still want to continue on the same track, then it is obvious to them that they are fully informed, so their reasons is somethingelse which they alone can resolve by themselves!

I am surprised that Southside of Chicago is still the same (if not worst) today and back then when I lived in Chicago in 1991. I thought somebody is doing something there. Pehaps, I guessed it wrong.

To Sue and to all other Michigan and Florida voters:

Please keep in mind that it was YOUR STATE LEGISLATURE that moved up the primary date. Please stop blaming Obama or the DNC because YOUR STATE LEGISLATOR broke the rules. Vote against your current state legislators and remove the individuals that caused all the mess.

Democrats Unit!!!

Obama can relate to most American more so then McCain. Obama did not blame the people who were losing there homes to foreclosure, he understood that the just maybe the banks had something to do with it. But not McCain he blamed the people saying that they were not responsible enough to own a home. I find that funny coming from a man who lives off his wife’s family money!

CNN takes blogs from Iranians but not Americans.

When did you all change countries?

There seems to be a new republican attack point - here's an example

"Sure Obama rejects those comments. He always has his surrogates to do his dirty work so that he can look lilly white. What a hypocrite he is"

I've read this same point several times today and they practically use the same wording. Is this the best you people have?

By the way, Google "songbird McCain"

He keeps talking about all the rumors that are not true. How about some specifics!! He was out of the country during much of his childhood. If he did not attend a Muslim school (I am willing to believe him), what school did he attend? What church (if any) did he attend as a child? You do not refute anything by simply saying it is not so, you say what is true if you want someone to believe you. But Obama is God and we must just believe him. Obama's speeches are just koolAid. I don't care if he is Muslim—but I see not reason to deny it or insult other Muslims (remember the women he removed from behind his podium) because you do not want detractors. No more ads or speeches; we need facts and specifics.

Within minutes we should start hearing the Republican attack machine. They are very afraid of this guy…..he represents everything they are dead set against… such as honesty, integrity accountability, etc.

They don't really have anything on him other than the fact he's Africa-American. Pay attention and note the various codes and such they use to remind whitey.

Did you see the McBush speech last evening…….it was pathetic.

I realize that is not the forum for this comment, but, there was no where else to write this. I don't understand what the big commotion is about what Clark said. I have been saying for months that while being a POW is admirable it does not qualify you to be president! Cafferty maybe you can ask this question on your blog!

The real geneous Spirit of America!

I love the spam-bots that are on here (most have been proven to come from the same IP address). Too bad they are not real voters and just posting smear tactics. Shameful that people have no values themselves. At least stick to the topic at hand… don't believe the smears!

Clark is right in challenging why McCain being a POW makes him qualified to be Commander in Chief. The only thing that makes a good Commander in Chief to me is judgment. McCain has shown poor judgment and worse when it comes to the economy (the real topic)… I don't understand why republicans think they make for betters CIC and play the fear card.

McBush is a flip flopper on the issues and on his wives. No need to bring up his military history. Yes he was a POW. He's the only one around old enough to remember D-Day from personal experience! That is not a selling point! His personal/campaign flip flops and old age tell the unflattering story about him.

Good summer general election ad from the Obama campaign. Just tell the truth and dispute the lies and Obama will be fine.

YES WE CAN!

Senator Obama,
Grow a pair and back General Clark on his comment on McCain. He is absolutely right.

Senator McCain,
Thank you McCain for your service, now you can go back home. Just what do you think qualifies you over any other veteran who is hurt or tortured? Is it because your dad and grand dad were admirals? Is it the special treatment you received from your prisoners for the same reasons? Is it because you gave away critical military information that compromised your fellow veterans' safety in Vietnam? This is treason, by the way. There are many more qualified people who have served who will make much better president. What is the experience that you tout all the time?

I've never donated to a campaign before… but Obama keeps inspiring me… today marks the 3 month in a row… I can't afford much… but Obama is my hope for a better America.

We need a strong, experienced leader with grit.
No, it's not Obama.
No, it's not even John McCain (though he's better than BO)
Bob Barr 08.

There are three parties in it, now.

This Shows Obama Has The Experience And Judgement To Be President! Mccain Is Not Qualified! He Lacks Judgement!

Sounds good to me. I like the ad. Many of you putting Obama down would never give up the opportunity to make lots of money and work the streets. That goes to his character and what kind of president he would make.

Since I was not able to respond to Gen. Clark's statement in the last ticker, I'll do it now. Obama needs to stop apologizing for everything everyone says. The truth is McWar is not fit for POTUS. I am glad it was a white man who turned down his nose on McWar the same as he has been doing to Obama. He has never given Obama any respect during this campaign (I think he feels he doesn't have to). While McWar should be given full respect for his military service that DOES NOT mean he can do and say anything without getting called out about it. My advice is learn to deal with it. Obama has.

In one man we see a clear vision for change. Although the road will be long and hard…Surrender to no one because we believe in America!!!

Good luck to Senator Clinton and her supporters.
God Bless America.

We, that are still living; we all have a "Jaded" past, that got us to this point, in our lives'………..my deepest felt concern is ,"My future"; from "this point, on"……………………..and beyond 1/20/2009.

The Rezko Connection is a joke. Obama donated the money to charity as soon as the whole thing was found out. That's why you haven't heard anything about it. The Affirmation is a joke too. You got nothing at all GOP!!!!

I am indeed impressed that Senator. Obama has chosen the high road once again, even though others seem to take the low road. If Senator Mc Cain keeps taking the low road, Senator Obama's lead will double and the Republicans will not have a snowball's chance in he_ _ come November!!

I worked on an Exxon gas station while I was a student, slipped on an oil spill, and broke my tail bone. I should be declared an "Oil Hero" and Exxon share holders should elect me the president of Exxon. I hope McCain supports me on that.

President Obama

We are rooting and voting for you

Let me see. Obama graduates from harvard as president of the law review and came have any job he wants but chooses to be a a community worker.

McCain leaves injured wife for a 100 million beer heiress. But Obama is the elitist.

As for Rezko.

Please research Rezko and Keating 5 and you tell me which one is worse.

I think Obama could have won this nomination even if he was green with purple polka dots. His personality shines like a much needed beacon for those of us who want things to get better in the USA. He stands head and shoulders, literally and figuratively, above all other candidates. I'm proud to be an American today.
