10 more days...everyone vote for Obama! It will be a wonderful celebration on November 5th.
Also as exciting on November 5th, Palin will have been flown back to Alaska...I hope she remembers to return her 'Convention Clothes'.
People make sure you go out in vote especially those who in states that has early voting. Don't take anything for granted, and don't be supertitious either. I can't stress how important it is for us to go out to vote.
Obama is a coward and a liar. He hides behind the skirts of the press,
the lies of his party and the muscle of the Chicago political establishment. It will be great to have a child run this country. Go Obama
To sneaky Pete who asked the question about where Obama was born.
You are 100% correct that Obama was born in Hawaii and NOT Kenya.
I would also like to give you a little bit of info about McCain,he is the only one thats running for President right now that wasn't born on US soil. Check it out for yourself.

Dear Americans!!

It is my hope that the world is a taking a cue with your MOST fearless, factual and critical opinions to shape the politics of their Countries! We join hands in (you-Americans voting & us-Kényans & the World P

To Brian for Business: Job losses you say? How about 750,000 in the past 12 months. Higher taxes? For the top 5%. Less money? How about 11 trillion dollars of national debt, half of which was run up by the current administration. Even when the economy was good, the Bush administration ran a $500 billion deficit. Obamma supporters want to get back to peace and prosperity.
talking about who shouldn't be allowed to run for president: Obama was born in Hawai while Mccain was born in Panama
People are forgetting that Mccain was born in Panama. So guess who shouldnt be running for president?
In all those posting questioning if Obama was born in the US, wasnt McCain born in Panama? I am sure the little game of who was born where and questioning who is a US citizen can be played both ways, with McCain losing as his birth certificate is from Panama.
