Bravo to mr obama. He has inspired me. Go forward…

Fun,would be to tie a bigot to each of the rockets going off tonight.Ha ha

Imagine, they want to go to white house. They know nothing. They have no experience. We respect them as US Citizen but they do not desrve to be in the white house. Montana, wake up before it is too late.

Will David Schuster condemn Obama for pimping his daughters?Bet he won't —–the Obamanoids will have him fired.

And why in the hell is this news?
What a waste of investors money… If this is another indication of "no more politics and spending as usual" then, well, guess were speechless.

He is such a hypocrite, along with his wife. VOTE 4 John McCain. Does Obama and his wife know what the flag stands for? Probably NOT!!!
VOTE NO OBAMA!!!

This is WAAAAAY bigger than Obama or Hillary.

This is about saying NO, when a democratic candidate is treated hatefully and unfairly and disrespected.

It is about saying NO to strong-arm tactics to secure a nomination.

It is about saving the party from future corruption by tacidly approving the corruption that occurred this year.

If it costs the democrats the election in a year when a democrat CAN'T lose, then the new democrats will think twice before they try to sway, influence and coerce the vote to their candidate by using division, hate and race baiting.

Dirty tactics deserve to back fire.

Sorry for the young women if Roe vs Wade gets overturned… Us bigoted, racist, stupid old women secured that right for you. Now we will turn the fight over to you. I would not recommend using insults and denigration to win your point in the future.

Sorry to the young men who might be drafted- again maybe it will show you the price of hatred (Bro over Ho), and (redneck inbred cousins who are nothing but dirty trailor trash morons). Maybe serving your country will teach you some respect for others who disagree with you.

I marched for civil rights, against the vietnam war, for women's rights, i burned my bra in NYC and I marched against the Iraq war.

Old and racist and stupid and ignorant as I am- I will march against the hatred and bigotry that has infiltrated the once democratic party.

Yes they are a good looking family but so are other families. Of course they don't have the worries of most families. Gas prices, food prices, utilities, how to pay for the mortgage and they got a break on their mortgage. It's all about the votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He needs to go back to his day job and get some experience.

We the People not only may but can question every little detail about Sen Obama background: like why did he leave his middle out when first taking the run for President..
________________________________

Quick…what's McCain's middle name? What's Nader's middle name?

Mark PDX: News Flash: "Barak selects Sponge Bob as his running mate"…

Obama: "Sponge Bob represents a change for the typical kind of vice presidents this country has had in the past. And in a poll of polls we found that our supporters, who get their news from South Park, Saturday Night Live and the Cartoon Network, related well to Sponge Bob's message of hope."

Sounds good to me Mark. Actually, our future Presidents name is spelled B A R A C K!! That will be President Obama to YOU! BTW, I'm almost 49 years old and think Sponge Bob would be a much better VP than Hillary. My kids love all of those shows as do I. Young at heart and full of hope, I am, I am.

BO is a disgrace.

I shook his hand, welcomed Michelle and him to Montana and talked about how important it was to turn thie RED STATE BLUE in the fall…

He is courteous, listens and makes eye contact while talking to him.. I felt like he eard me and was genuine ..Michelle is warm listens well an is very, very beautfiful upclose and personal…

You know when you meet somebody if they are geniune or not and he and Michelle are… THEY ARE THE REAL DEAL…!!!!

Very special people, very special family and I would welcome them back anytime..

BTW- this was my fourth Barack Obama rally I have attended in our beautiful state of Montana..

Obama 2008….

To eam: You are so blind and so rude. And you are ignorant of Obama's
positions. I am surprised your comment made it on the internet.

Obama is the only one left to make changes in this sad poor country. I hope he stands up for us AMERICANS and what we stand for. OBAMA 08

Before Obama ran for president I had a pretty positive attitude towards most white's but seeing all this hatred has really turned me off. There are some fair minded white's out there but I'm suprised to see so many ugly attitudes expressed towards Obama.

this man will let the usa be steam rolled , like germany did to poland wake up america.

Happy 4th of July Fellow Americans !!!!
Happy Birthday Malia, we wish you the best from here !!!
The Obama's are a great American Family !!!

Samuel, if Obama's ex pastor ticked you off, then you should go and read about pastor haage and please go to following link

http://www.theyoungturks.com/story/2008/3/19/12226/1730/Diary/Different-Standards-for-Black-and-White-Preachers

And please look up Pastor Pasrsley's movie on youtube, he have something to say to too..

Remember what the 4th is all about . The Obama's are that American Family and people like Vig still has to try to throw mud when thay can. Let ask this question was it very American for Cindy McCain to spend $750,000.00 on her charge cards last month when the average American can't pay the high price on gas, food and loosing their homes. How can McCain know what we feel when his owm wife has no shame.

HE IS HERE SPENDING TIME WITH HIS FAMILY, WHERE IS MCCAIN ??? NOT SPENDING IT WITH HIS CHILDREN OR HIS 1ST WIFE WHO HE LEFT WHEN SHE WAS HURT IN AN ACCIDENT. HE IS SPENDING HIS FOURTH WITH HIS PLASTIC LOOKING 23 YRS HIS JR. WIFE TRYING TO THINK OF MORE WAYS TO DISAPPOINT THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE SERVING OUR COUNTRY!!!! I THINK THEY DESERVE THE SAME EDUCATION YOU GOT DON'T YOU MCCAIN TO BAD YOU SHOT THAT BILL DOWN. LEAVE OBAMA ALONE AND GIVE HIM THE CREDIT HE DESERVES, GOOD DAD GOOD HUSBAND AND HOPEFULLY A GREAT PRESIDENT !!!! (IF EVRYONE VOTES THE RIGHT WAY)

bk…….you are disgusting and a sicko……get a freaking life…..and ditto to you too Ed and Mike and Bob !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FIRST FAMILY !!!!!! This is what we need to turn this country around and make it better for all American familes. YES..WE CAN ! YES..WE WILL! OBAMA IS WHAT WE NEED !!!!

'Me, me, me! Look at me! Look at ME! I'm Obama and I am single-handedly more important than 300 million other Americans celebrating the birthday of the greatest nation on earth! Me, me, me!'

I don't know what to call more disgusting: him exploiting his children for photo-ops, or him defiling the birthday of our nation by arrogantly making it all about himself.

"Maybe he should try enlisting in a branch of the armed forces. That would be a real measure of the man he thinks he is."

Carolyn, I've served in the army and I have been a school teacher for 13 years. I have met some of the most honorable men and women who have never worn a uniform. I also met some of the most dishonorable people while I served in the army. So Carolyn, get a life and stop being so full of hate.

I would MUCH rather Obama refine his stance on the Iraq war and listen to our generals.

Do you understand how we got into this mess? GW and his cronies started this war and waged it in a manner that was completely against the advice of our generals. Go ahead, do some research.

So, I think Obama's understanding that you have to listen our generals is very wise, more wise than making campaign promises he can't keep.

all propaganda- Michele still hates her country and he is still just a typical politician who can give a nice speech.

Because of what happened with the DNC in the primary - I will now register as an Independent. - Voting for McCai n

How does being a POW qualify you to be President? How is spending time with your family on the 4th of July usibg them for political gain?
Wow! some of these people are beyond IGNORANT..
MC-OLD is resting to day. You know it's hard for a 70+ year old man to keep up with the pace of a campaign.

And where's McCain? Home, catching up on his naps.

There is such hatred here.. I think MOST of you are not intelligent enough to vote and MOST of you are racist to boot… Happy 4th of July .. all you bigots who have nothing better to do than criticize and WHINE …

These blogs sound like white trailer trash …. get your gun and your bible…. and oh don't forget your pickup truck .. the one you can't afford to put gas in .

Focus on the positive. Obama, Obama, Obama.

happy fourth of july to all the troops and to all americans everywhere. may god bless all!

At least he's reaching out to everyone and taking his family for a wonderful journey through one of the most beautiful states in America. What an education his children are getting visiting different states and meeting different people. Every American should have the same opportunity! It changes your world view of who you are and what this country is capable of. Yes we can! and will!

Some of you are idiots. That little girl deserves a special birthday. It is not her fault that her father is campaigning to be President and that she spent her day "campaigning". If it were your 10 yr old and you were on the trail, wouldn't you STILL want your baby to feel special? Wow.

A beautiful American family? Lots of American families just like this one on the south side of Chicago. You suburban folks need to get out more and visit the large industrial urban cities.

Is that a flag I see in Mrs. Obama's hand?

Photo Op!!!-he's trying to get votes-why not go back to Chicago-and stay with the Daleys!-that's where you belong-you crooked politican!!!

wait they take up residence in Dubai - Hello Hussein Osama Obama

Great job Mr. & Mrs. Obama for exploiting your beautiful daughters for polical purposes!

They look just like their parents. Beautiful girls and a beautiful family

She looks just like Michelle and the other on Baracks lap looks just like him

Barack the vote

HOW DARE WE QUESTION..OBAMA ? We the People not only may but can question every little detail about Sen Obama background: like why did he leave his middle out when first taking the run for President.. to his stand on Patriotism, etc………………….. WHAT IS your middle name ,WHAT IS JOHN McCAIN middle name…….WHAT TIME is it ……….GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!

Our next First Family! Love looking at them!
Happy 4th to everyone!

Obama '08!

All this hatred is really disgusting. Where is Mccain anyway? I know he works roughly 4 or 5 days a week (due to old age) but where is he today?

Imagine if Mccain was celebrating and Obama was a no show?

No JFK Camelot here folks but it is a nice photo op!

Lets keep him in the Senate until he figures out who he is! Then we can all decide if we can trust him!

Beautiful family, Happy Birthday Malia

No camelot here folks but it is a nice photo op! Lets keep him in the Senate until he figures out who he is! Then we can all decide if we can trust him!

Texas Trail Dog ………. Obama WINS! Can't wait to see it in the papers on Nov 5………..COMPARED to EAM ,BOB SAMUEL ,VIG, AND PAM you are a SAINT ……..WHERE is Brian ,KNOXVILLE TN

Did Mccain come back from South America yet? lol
Happy 4th of July!

Sally you are right but i think the bigger issue is for the first time in our adult lives we are REALLY proud to be Americans…Obama and Hillary have inspired people who have grown cynical and disenfranchised with our politics and so forth…people are for the first time in a long time exited.

Marc PDX July 4th, 2008 3:17 pm ET
News Flash: "Barak selects Sponge Bob as his running mate"…

Marc….Sponge Bob is more smart then GWB and McBush,,if sponge bob is the president right now the country will be in a good condition lol.

A sad day for America.. Barack will not bring back troops home.. Hillary, please, come back, and help us..

Bob July 4th, 2008 3:19 pm ET
Ugh…..What a grotesk family. I hope the kids dont turn out to be racists like there mom and dad

Wow, what a great family. You people in the USA are going to finally get respect in the world with this new wonderful family in your White House.
We here in Canada are looking forward to a visit from President Obama and his beautiful femin wife.
Good luck Mr. Obama and god bless you and your entire family.

Obama is a butcher. He has voted in favor of every type of abortion known to man. That includes partial birth abortion, not reviving a child who lives through a botched abortion and not notifying parents of a minor that wants to get an abortion.

if i was a McCain supporter eager to cause hate i would wright the very same thing…Nice try but we all want change..white black, brown, yellow, purple all of us

Give me a break — for all those nitwits who think he'd make a good president — Obama may be a lawyer on paper but he has never practiced "law' — he'd have a hard time arguing a case in any open court — because he'd lose and he knows it. That's why he won't debate McCain on television in a town hall meeting. He's just another 8×10 color glossy. What makes me sick are people who actually think he'd make a good "commander and chief" of our armed forces. Wake up and smell the coffee. Our armed forces deserve the best — and he's not "it" — not even close. Maybe he should try enlisting in a branch of the armed forces. That would be a real measure of the man he thinks he is.

Spent the day around those bible and gun toting conservatives. What’s the matter did he miss his flight to liberal town?

I read all the these blogs and some of the blogs I have never read so much hatred, jealously,bigotry for one person. You people who writes with some much hatred need JESUS(GOD) in your life. Yes everyone has an opinion but why have a opinion with some much hatred, jealously, vindictiveness in your hearts. Why are you afraid of this man? We are all Americans we all built this country and have a right to run for any office in this country and we as Americans have a right to vote for whomever you chose too. Some of you say because he has no experience well I have live to see so many politician with experience run for office and win and have created wars for no reason for political gain and have so many lives of men and women murdered because of greed in a senseless war, many people facing foreclosure and homeless. Veterans can't get the medical treatment they need. Gas is so high you can't afford to work. Well I tell you what if you happy the way America is and where it stands then vote for McCain or don't vote at all that your American right. So don't hate someone whom you say don't have enough experience or lack of or is that the true problem? Don't hate on someone who says they wants to bring our men and women home and stop financing Iraq . Apparently you haters never had someone died in war, not homeless, not facing foreclosure, don't have a gas prices issue and financially stable.
We need a change and we need it now!!!

Shame on you all haters…God will determine this election!!!

HOW DARE WE QUESTION..OBAMA ?

great question coming from a person who REFUSES TO RELEASE HIS MILITARY RECORDS…
keating 5, 1967 Uss Forrestal tragedy, info about the over $1,069,854.00 he got from BIG OIL, tax evasion, Pastor Parsley ( a man of the "cloth" that makes Dr. Rev. Wright look like Gandhi)…and there is so much more we would like to know about mr. McCain.
why cant we play nice and just say…wow, that's a nice picture of a family?

Yes, Samuel, you are indeed "entitled" to be as closed- and simple-minded as you choose. But you are selling yourself and your country short. Way short.

Happy Independence Day to all.
I am excited about this election and the progress and maturity we Americans have currently displaying. I support Senator Barack Obama in his campaign. From what I have seen, I believe he is an intelligent articulate wise brave candidate. Have a great weekend. Doug in Boston.

Hmmmmm

If Obama wasn't running for President….he would have spent today with Rev W. talking about everything that is wrong with America.

Sorry Obama your trip to Montana is not fooling anyone!

He is so fake! Wake up America…

And that "songbird" was none other than the TRAITOR John McCain.

bk …you want unpatriotic…go look in a mirror.

It is really disturbing to see so much hate. I feel sorry for
these people for they cannot be at all happy.

To many of you keep in mind the saying "It is better to be
thought a fool than speak out and remove all doubt".

A thoughtful 4th.

Why isn't McCain out at a Fourth of July Celebration? If Obama was at home and McCain was out with the public at a Fourth of July event, Obama would be villified, and scorned for not being "patriotic", and McCain would praised.

This is a great family picture - a winning photo!

Yes We Can!

Obama 08!

All of you people questioning his patriotism should give it a rest. He is American just like the rest of us in America.

As far as the Iraq war, I remember his saying that he will be as careful getting out as they were careless getting in.

Obama WINS!

Can't wait to see it in the papers on Nov 5!

Barack Obama is the only man that can end the Iraq war. JFK didn"t even try to end the Vietnam war. Kennedy and Mcnamara supported the Diem coup. Lyndon Johnson expanded the Vietnam war and Richard Nixon said that he was going to bring an "honorable end" to the Vietnam war. Vote Obama and you make sure that history doesn"t repeat itself.

PUMA =OPERATION CHAOS =IDIOTS ……WE WILL NOT FALL FOR SAME SMEAR TACTICS ..AGAIN …..DEMOCRATS 08

A nightingale Sings in Berkley Square

BS..Obama's position is absolutely consistent. Why don't you whine about the McCain changing his position on the Bush tax cuts, or offshore drilling, or torture.

You won't because for some reason you are overwhelmed by your hatred of Obama and like all the other haters, you can't put forth anything positive about your candidate.

Obama's daughter plays 'soccer' - so Michelle Obama is a 'SOCCER MOM'.
Be sure to watch the video here at CNN of Barack and Michelle at Malia's soccer game - it is precious

Happy 4th of July to everyone!

What a GREAT family, and a nice picture! I hope they are having a great holiday in Montana!

Let's all vote for the best-looking "First Family," shall we?

Campaigning on the 4th of July. This man is has unpatriotic as they come.

frank…. You and most wingnuts are phony patriots. You believe in blind loyalty. That's not patriotism. It's nationalism.

First Family!!!! Yeah…
Yes WE Can and Yes WE WILL!
Obama '08 & '12….
Luvin' this pic right now - You go CNN, Ya'll alright in my book! Keep getting the haters used to whats to come in a few months/years, they are struggling right now. If they didn't believe Barack had a real chance to win it all, they wouldn't be hating so hard. I understand the little temper tantrum throwing babies (cuz they sure are not adults) are mad. Trust, it'll be okay…..
- - Change YOU can believe in- -

Obama is a very wise man, let the people have their fun.

Let the party begins.

God Bless you all Amen.

To all the haters…get over yourselves. Stop telling me how much you hate Obama and tell me what your candidate is going to do for the country.

Tic…tic…tic…..

Nothing…that's what I expected.

Obama is a candidate of change. He consistently changes his positions.

What a loser Obama is

TO Samuel ………How come most people of all walks seems to like this Obama guy and yet I have not even consider to look at him twice. Rev. Wright just put me off and I am sticking to that…………YOU HAVE a RIGHT to SHUT THE H_LL UP………..JUST LIKE YOU DON"T WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM………WE DON"T WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU !!!!

Beautiful family! This country is lucky Obama decided to run. Think about it - How many actually have firmed up confidence in McCain as a representive of all of our people? ( maybe 1950, but NOT 2009).

Every 'ticker' there are still alot of harsh anti-Obama statements that people would dare not say to others for fear of looking like hate mongering idiots. They continue to want their 15 minutes of fame. However in the short attention span Internet age its about 15 seconds. So the family is at a July 4th parade. Get over it and let them enjoy it like everyone else. Or perhaps these people believe that the Obama's dont deserve to celebrate the 4th.

VIG AND PAM BLEACH THE HATRED OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM. THERE IS NOTHING NEGATIVE TO COMMENTY ON THAT PICTURE. THAT PICTURE IS SELF EXPLAINATORY

GO OBAMA!!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU HERE IN MIAMI!!!
Save us from "MACBUSH"!

Why are they celebrating the 4th, Michelle doesn't like America and they stayed in a church for 20 years that hated America.

At least the man is with his family…enjoying a memorable moment. You haters need to chill out.

Obama's story, as a presidential candidate, is only possible in America. "…All men are created equal…" When I think about our U S Constitution I am reminded that this country was founded on the principals of freedom for all.

To those of you who say Obama is not patriotic, like Kevin in Texas, being black in America does not make one unpatriotic. Why do black people constantly have to prove that they are patriotic?

I hope you trolls who work for Rush and those foks who are trying to make Barack look bad are getting paid on a holiday. Otherwise you guys need to just take a break.

Obama 08

I am an Obama supporter … but I am getting almost as tired of the cult of personality statements from Obama supporters ("We love you Obama!"; "look at his beautiful family"; "GO Obam! We need you!") as I am of the ignorant, ill-informed comments of people like eam and Marc PDX.

His daughter was born on the 4th of July(man he is good)? What scandal is the right gonna turn this into a fake birth certificate?

Don't waste your time with those who only have messages of hate and personal attacks, focus on those who truly want to be informed this election.

patriot ] someone who loves and supports there country
HMM doesnt sound like Obama
after all his wife just got proud of there country

Why is it we never see McCain's kids with him?
Oh yea, he cheated on thir mother.

VIG,PAM,SAM

SEE A DOCTOR, YOU GOT PROUBLEMS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALIA
WHAT A WONDERFUL LOVELY, ADORABLE FAMILY
THE TRUE FAMILY

Obama Hussein is out to help himself and he will hurt this country.
If he is elected, remember this message……….
He should do the right thing and reject the nomination..if it is offered.
If you think Bush hurt America, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Eam: Don't be a reckless idiot. Obama's stance on Iraq has never changed, as he wants to get out of there. What is changing, or could, is the method at which he gets our troops out. There's NO harm in listening to the advice of the people on the ground on how to best execute that, rather than going gung-ho and just yanking our troops out of there carelessly without listening to anyone (i.e. how Bush has run his administration).

Gorgeous Family! Everyone seems to forget that Obama is now in the game, therfore he has to play it and sometimes you have to alter the game plan and take what the defense gives you in order to win. Winning is the only way he will be in position to carry out his campaign philosophies and if his fans are going to boo him for every play that he makes then they're not real fans, they're just band wagon supporters because his real fans knows that any great coach has to adjust his game plan during the game to be successful. If he has to please every fan on every play, it will be a lost cause.

Canada for Obama!

I can barely wait until President Obama and First Lady Michelle and their two children are in the White House. I watched the Montana 4th of July picnic on Obama's website and Obama's sister Maya, Maya's husband and little girl were also there.

God Bless American and God Bless the Obama family!

Obama 08/12

eam………you know this guy remindes me of a dirty rat lawyer, and everytime he's asked a question he answers like a lawyer…………..
A DIRTY RAT LAWYER …………..YOU are a dirty RAT ………MR Obama is a LAWYER ………….IF you don't like him that is a good thing …..he does not need or want your support ……now take YOUR long TAIL back in your crack before you spread GERMS…….NEXT !

Looks like a Kenya family to me. Why don't he do us all a favor and run for presindent there. He can take all of his anti-american friends with him.

A beautiful family enjoying a special day. I cannot wait to see them running through the White House what joy they will bring!

WHERE IS MCWAR!!WE WANT TO HECKLE THAT SOB,TOO!

This is no nice to see a family enjoying the day on July 4th. Those that question anybody's patriotism. GET A LIFE!!

A Very Beautiful American Family, which represents the American Culture and Power

A Very Beautiful American Family, which represents the American Culture and Power

Everyone is so worried about him and that flag pen.
well neocons where the the hell is McCain's????

As far as the flip flop label the right is trying to paint on him, its silly. They figured it worked on John Kerry for the last election, it will work this time. I won't mind a leader who will 'refine' his stance.
Just look where 'STAY THE COURSE' has gotten us?!

It is a beautiful American family. I just hate the fact that no matter what the headlne says those negative people that right their little comments are always going to find some way to bring Obama down.

obama is celebrating patriotically,while bush is promoting his failed presidency and being heckled on it.mcbush is hiding ,somewhere,afraid of being heckled himself,for promoting and taking up the cause of war crimes and torture,and illegal occupations and murder.

I love this country but not what is happening to it. War for oil is not pro-life. I love my country and I don't say the flag salute. "…under God, with liberty and justice for all" I think it is sacreligious. I care enough to want to stand for the constitution-not what is becoming a facist/corporate state. God bless America. I want our country back. I'd die for it but not for a corporate agenda and killing innocent people for profit and addiction to power. The days of "love it or leave it" are over. Love it and reclaim the good and change what is not for the better.

Beautiful family.

Beautiful day.

Happy Birthday Malia and America!

See you at the White House!

God Bless America (and everyone else too)!

My only guess for the change of venue to have the nomination at the NFL is short of funds. I know a thing a two that could demand a recall I don't know about you guys. Happy Birthday to Malia and Happy 4th of July America.

Vig says,
"Now he makes sure he is holding an American flag for all to see. Why do you keep having to prove your patriotism? Next he'll walk on stage drapped in an American flag. Sorry, but this issue isn't going away and shouldn't."

Vig,
Of course he's holding an American flag, ITS JULY 4TH!
DUH!!

God bless the Obama's - the next presidential family of the United States!

He'll be our President 7 days a week - and holidays.

No more of the lax short weeks like his opponent seems to find best for him (at his age, with no energy, no brain)

Obama has a nice family but he is not fit to be President.

New York Times editorial board is finally waking up.
Referred to Obama as "New but not Improved."

The Times also questioned his slogan of 'change."

LA Times also ripped on Obama.

For those of you who think Obama will magically make your life better and make gas 99 cents again–guess again.

Obama is very ambitious and power-hungry. But it's for his ego and not to help the average American. He is pandering for votes everywhere he goes.

He is not qualified and his views change with the wind. He DOESN'T know what he is doing.

Black is the flavor of the year.

White is a hated brand.

Vote for the Obamas

Well sure Obama may be the man for the job. But talk about major spin.

With regards to flip-flopping on Iraq:
Its because the language he used in the morning speech was very reminiscent of Hillary's position in the primary (which Obama tore into her for).

When he was the underdog he promised to run a publicly financed campaign. Now that he is the heavyweight he changes his mind claiming he needs the 1/4 billion to fight republican pac's and 527's (even though democratic pac's and 527's outspend the republicans by 10 to 1).

He blasted NAFTA as the scourge of the midwest but now its not so bad.

He claims to not take money from lobbyists but takes regular max donations from their spouses. (Last count I saw McCain Lobbyist money was approx 650k Obama 425k).

Also someone commented on McCain's travel. You do realize he is the chairman and highest ranking member on the armed forces committee. So you want to blast McCain for doing his job but its OK that Obama has done nothing as the head of a committee for our policies in Afghanistan. Columbia and Mexico are important allies.

But what would I know, Im just an intelligent, socially liberal, fiscally conservative voter that actually reads.

And I voted for the BEST candidate, Hillary Clinton.

I will now vote AGAINST the WORST candidate- the installed, Obama.

What is the obsession of Americans with their flag? Loyalty to one's country and the demonstration of one's patriotism is more than wearing a flag pin … holding a flag on a national holiday … or flying it in front one's home. It is through words and ethical actions that one demonstrates the depth of their loyalty and patriotism.

I am a loyal and patriotic naturalized Canadian (who was born in Idaho). I don't have to have the Canadian flag, a maple leaf, a hockey stick or a beaver in my face all the time to remind me of faith, loyalty and patriotism to Queen and country.

Goes to show just how gracious and friendly that Montana people are. Does not surprise me that they sang "Happy Birthday" The whole state is full of very fine people.
Having been born there and having lived in most of the state I can brag on them.
HI to all my friends and relitives still there. Miss ya.

For each of you saying Obama hasn't changed his position I ask you to remember how he mocked Hillary. Obama said her Iraq position of having a measured safe withdraw by not committing to a specific timeline was wrong. Seems he now is saying Hillary was right, and he was wrong. Face it folks you were blinded by his rock star show ignoring his inexperience and his past relationships. Each of you kept giving him the benefit of the doubt, just like so many did for Bush and look where that got us.

Just say no deal. NObama

VICE PRESIDENT CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OR AMERICA SHOULD VOTE JOHN MCCAIN

B. Hussein Obama is a joke. Remember that over 17 million democrats don't like this guy or his family. I can't wait for McCain to send this idiot back to the Senate.

Yes, "Sacto Joe" — it IS sad when the Obama people attack John McCain's patriotism!

God bless and protect this family, all….

God bless America….

God bless those who choose peace over unnecessary war….

God bless the troops who have to suffer the most….

Happy Fourth of July:)

cute.
God bless America

Thank you Ken!!!!!

EAM…please learn to SPELL before you try to insult someone..I'm sure that "McCian" doesn't want you helping him out with…"basiclly"

Hope everyone is having a nice holiday like the Obama's are!!!!

Barack and Michelle have a beautiful family. Happy Birthday Malia. Next year you will celebrate your birthday in the Whitehouse. It is so good to see Barack and Michelle celebrating the 4th of July on the campaign trail.

McCain has been in so many countries you have to wonder what country he is running for in!! Well you can tell it is the week-end he is at home. We have a part-time campaigner. I guess he is running to be a part time President! He has to rest every week-end when he is in the USA. I guess Joe will run the country the rest of the time!

Barack Obama is going to be one of our greatest Presidents' ever. He is going to turn this nation around.

Could he get lost in the mountains in one of cheney's undisclosed locations.

Yes, what a lovely family. And what does that have to do with running a country nothing. Perhaps he'd be better suited to a TV show.
Yeah, swell.
Again I defy any of you Hussein supporters to name one, just one thing, he's done since he's been in Congress. You can't and to support this empty suit is indicative of your intellectual shallowness.
"Beautiful family" how touching.

Your American style politics is really weird compared to how our politicians conduct their campaigns here in Canada.

When our politicians are running for election they campaign for votes within Canada.

How come one of your candidates (McCain) campaigns in different countries and for the most part ignoring the U.S. voters while his opponent (Obama) only campaigns in his own country ignoring the people in the other countries?

If someone can rationally explain this I would be truly amazed.

HAPPY 4TH PREZ & FAMILY &

TO ALL AMERICANS.

WE ARE BACK !!!!

What a great family

What a really beautiful family. Remeber the children are innocent.

What on on great family

VOTE BARACK OBAMA!

Such an adorable family… I love you Obamas!!!!

Vig:

Do you not see the ridiculous inconsistency in your statements? You ask why he has to validate his patriotism, only to insist he cannot.

The only reason his patriotism comes up is because fools like you spread lies about whether he is a patriot because you know your nominee can't beat him with fact and substance.

Wow! a true first family and for the love of god humble too! wow been many years since we had that!

eam:

There was so much hate and venom in your post you sound as thought you are delusional and insane. If you think ant one even Mc Cain can tell you what he is going to do in Iraq and exactly how that is going to happen 7 months before they are in office you have lost your mind his message has been the same on Iraq and Mc Cain and his surrogates are just playing with American solders lives as thought it was a political football he should feel nothing but shame for his conduct being a vet as am I. The president should not be dictating to the military as is done under GW Bush and what Mc Cain wants to continue. The president sets the mission and the hard working men and women with decades of experience design build and carry it out. So stop posting obvious and blatant lies it only makes you look uneducated and a complete follower in life learn to read and examine everything don't just buy into what ever garbage your party or news choice tells you to.

Obama 08

People should learn from this man cause he is just plain simple.i am greatful to see he got the normination.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vig ……… Now he makes sure he is holding an American flag for all to see. Why do you keep having to prove your patriotism? Next he'll walk on stage drapped in an American flag. Sorry, but this issue isn't going away and shouldn't …….Notice alot of the SENATORS don't wear FLAG PINS…….maybe because he is different ……..HE IS UNDER A Microscope is it his smile, height, or the color of his SKIN……………………

OH YEA!!! WE can count on IDIOTS like you (VIG)and PAM……YUCK! …. ………PAM couldn't think of anything NICE to SAY ………. just YUCK ……….HATE will disolve YOU !!!

Shouldn't the Obamas held Malia's birthday party privately? Today is America's birthday and upstaging that with a family birthday kinda seems out of place to me. But then, no one has ever accused the Obama's of being runaway patriots. Nor of much humility.

NObama N'08

You dont want to know where Barack stands on ALL of his issues otherwise you would have just looked on his website: barackobama.com…it is that easy.
You dont want to know about the Real McCain otherwise you would look him up on dumpmccain.com

THIS IS THE LOOK OF AMERICA…BEAUTIFUL…SACRED…STRENGTH…LOVE…AND JOY.

God Bless America, the land of the FREE!!

haters post in5…4…3…2…go!

THsi is what America , the one and ONLY America in the world is about, we are one…………………

Obama 08/12
YES WE CAN

GOD BLESS THE WORLD…

Beautiful family.

Yes we can!

This is a beautifull family, God bless you and God keep blessing America and returns back all his lost glory

What type of person attacks an American Family out enjoying the 4th?

eam?
Pam?
Vig?

Clearly another "staged" Obama event — this time with new props — the flag. Part of "sitting for interviews" , , , with aides "carting Hula Hoops, coloring books and whiffle balls so the girls could be photographed while playing" . . . Yuck is right!

Ugh…..What a grotesk family. I hope the kids dont turn out to be racists like there mom and dad

This family belongs in the White House.Why is it that most pictures of Senator Obama he is always smiling and John McBush is always frowning?Happy Birthday to the oldest first daughter, Malia. Barack Hussein Obama 08

Connie"Hussein"Sturgeon from Indiana

A Great American Family. Obama 2008!

People can look at the same image, hear the same story, and walk away with different feelings. It's what you bring to the impression. My impression is that this looks like a a happy family enjoying a good time. Don't see a 'rat lawyer' or see anything that would constitute 'yuck'.

News Flash: "Barak selects Sponge Bob as his running mate"…

Obama: "Sponge Bob represents a change for the typical kind of vice presidents this country has had in the past. And in a poll of polls we found that our supporters, who get their news from South Park, Saturday Night Live and the Cartoon Network, related well to Sponge Bob's message of hope."

Barakiddies: "This is a historic moment and we should hold a Barak Worship convention in a stadium. This is finally a change we can believe in! By the way, could you CHANGE the channel back to the Cartoon Network?"

LOL - Change you can BELIEVE will be hilarious!

WOW NICE FAMILY LOOKING VERY AMERICAN TOO ME

The American dream is alive and well.

Great American family with a beautiful mind.

Obama 08 & 12.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
We the People not only may but can question every little detail about Sen Obama background: like why did he leave his middle out when first taking the run for President.. to his stand on Patriotism, etc..etc..etc WHY ? because we have the right to know. Unlike allowing George W. Bushs' run for President to keep us in the dark by shrouding himself in a veil of mystery and deception…not again. So Sen Obama stop grand-standing and acting so indignant and start to show some Transparency,

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I believe most Americans wave an American Flag during a 4th of July parade.
If he decided to walk on stage draped in a flag it would probably look pretty cool!

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! there you go obama we love you!!!!

I'm loving every minute of it. YES, this is what American needs. I love seeing the unity of this family. It speaks wonders.
Why haven't we seen any of this with John McCain? Why aren't his older children backing him?
I haven't seen one picture of him with his family and I've not seen a picture yet, although I may have missed it, of him even holding his wife's hand. He doesn't even hold her hand while coming down the steep jet steps.
He seems arrogant, cold and void of affection. Leaves me with a chill.
Why isn't he showing some patriotism over this holiday and in this country? If Obama had shut himself up with his family over this holiday Senator McCain and his group would have been all over him. Where's Obama's Patriotism????

Butte, MT is commonly referred to as Butte, America by the way.

Birthplace of Evel Knievel.

Unfortunately the town has seen some hard times economically and the rich mining companies are destroying the environment.

The Berkeley Pit in Butte is a disaster — Google it.

Republicans and dittoheads cant help but ruin every day they can with their hate America agenda.

MAKE SURE YOUR FLAG AND FLAG PIN IS MADE IN THE U.S.A. MANY ARE MADE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND IT WOULDN'T BE PATRIOTIC TO WEAR. OKAY.

Vig, with your kind of comment, you answer yourself. It is because of people like you that he has to prove his patriotism with little things as a flag pin, because you don't understand that someone who is ready to give his best to improve his country is a true patriot. You can't have it both ways. And don't blame other people for your own shortcomings.

The Barakiddies who are Jonestownesque followers of their new Messiah are going to get just what they are voting for: Nothing. Barak will be elected president (by a nation that's bloated with airheads) and there is nothing under the veneer. But what a pretty veneer!

Onward, lemmings, to your just destinies…

Rob, do you not know how to enjoy a moment without adding controversy and idiotic statements to it? And actually, the issue has "gone away", it's just certain people like you who find it necessary to keep mess going on, and refuse to let it completely die out.

—–

I mean seriously. EVERYONE is holding an American flag on those bleachers, I saw the bigger picture.

How come most people of all walks seems to like this Obama guy and yet I have not even consider to look at him twice. Rev. Wright just put me off and I am sticking to that. Period. Although, people tell me his messages are ispirational but I don't want to listen to him in anyway or do i want to read anything that he says. This is my right and I think I am entitle to it.

Obama said… "All the fireworks and stuff are not just for her," he said to laughs. ("They're for me!")

My oh my… Barak sure has a big head! He ought to consider holding his acceptance speech in a stadium! LOL!

"We love you, Obama!" (Barakiddies)

What a beautiful American family. I can't wait until he's President.

When the opposition starts attacking their opponent's patriotism, it's a sure sign that they're trying to deflect the discussion away from something meaningful.

You know, just after 9/11, I had a flag on my car. But then you started to see people co-opt the flag for their own political purposes, and frankly, it denigrated the flag.

So I took it off my car, much as Senator Obama took it off his coat. I wanted no part of such a shameful use of our country's flag.

Today, we see the Republican's once again wrapping themselves in the flag.

Shame on you all!

you know this guy remindes me of a dirty rat lawyer, and everytime he's asked a question he answers like a lawyer."He has not chaged postions on Iraq- but will continue to refine his position" basiclly saying I can keep changing my mind as much as i want i don't have to give the american public a concrete plan. CAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE ! ! ! He blames McCian's camp for the confusion in what he said or was it that you (as always) just say yes to everything. i have some bad news for Obama-nazi he does not have a clue as to what waits for him, he is under the impression that he has unlimited power just like his mentor BUSH. why won't he tell us what he wants to do, you know why he isn't capable of doing so.

JOHN MCCAIN NEED'S TO SHUTUP , HE IS THE FLIPFLOOPER, WHO SOLD HIS SOUL FOR THE VREPUBLICAN NOM. SO THE NEXT TIME HE TALKS ABOUT HONESTY THE VOLD MAN NEED'S TO LOOK AT HIS SELF.

The crowd broke into song, singing a rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Obama's oldest daughter, Malia, who turned 10 on Friday…………………
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Malia!!!!!!……….ENJOY YOUR DAY SENTOR OBAMA!!!
OBAMA 08/2012

The Wild West is turning Blue. Barack should seriously consider Sen. Test of Montana for his VP. Tester is the type of centrist that would really help solidify the ticket and is very popular with moderates/independents.

What a great looking American family.

Yuck!

What a great family man. And he will be a great president too.

Now he makes sure he is holding an American flag for all to see. Why do you keep having to prove your patriotism? Next he'll walk on stage drapped in an American flag. Sorry, but this issue isn't going away and shouldn't.

THE FIRST FAMILY OUT FORTHE FOURTH OF JULY. IT DOES'NT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT. THEY LOOK LIKE A REAL FAMILY UNLIKE THE MCCAINS WHO LOOK FAKE.

What a beautiful family!

It's going to be wonder
