Whether it is based on truth or not, the fact that millions of Americans do not trust this man and his motives makes him unfit to be president. There are many points of contention with a president in a true democracy. Patriotism should not be one of them. You can doubt a president's views on the economy, foreign trade, environment, etc. But, you should NEVER be in doubt about his patriotism and willingness to surrender everything for the country. Obama does not fit that bill and should not be running for president. Obama's incessant speeches are contributing to global warming.

Now, that is indeed a love of country knowing you don't run for the highest office in the land when you can't do the job or aren't fit for the job. Now does he love his country so much that he goes back on his word about not being qualified for the job and run anyway or is it because others in the party hierarchy used him to run and make sure HIllary was not the candidate ? To me it seems the latter is a more plausible excuse since the Clintons were railed against so many times with false cries of racism.

Once again Obama is going to TALK about his patriotism. I for one have heard enough rhetoric out of Obama, he is all tak and no action. Obama is an empty suit running on arrogance and ego, with his own best interest at heart, not the best interest of the nation.

Obama is the same with the people he surrounds himself. His experience is 143 days in actual days in the Senate. Take away the prompter and he is a stuttering, bumbling idiot. However, the American people are dumber than dirt if they vote for him. He is plainly telling them what he believes in and it resembles socialism/communism. The people of Venezuela did not listen and voted in the same mind set and now will probably have to have a civil war to reclaim any of their freedoms. Is that what we will ask of our children and grandchildren when we find the freedoms which make us America stripped away by the policies of Obama? Wake up, America!!!!!!!!!!

Sen. Obama has had to confront smears of his (and Michelle's) character from the very beginning, and he deserves any and every opportunity to represent himself more truly.
