Obama closing in Pennsylvania

Obama is communist dictator an his wife the same.Wake up!!!

McCain is fascist dictator and his wife is a Stepford wife. Wake up!!!

See, I can say stupid stuff, too.

Obama is great! I sure am glad he will be the Democratic nominee! Hillary Clinton is a reckless snob.

That an old accusation, it was only work during the cold war and communism era

hillary is a dictator, like bush and if she or mccain wins, america will have a violent revolution.
I will see to it that there will be. Liberty Or Death In The Persuit Of It!!!!!!

a communist?

you are delusional and probably have no idea of the definition for the term...go and look it up

while Obama may not be the most perfect candidate to ever try for the office, so far all evidence demonstrates that he is far better suited for the job than what we have had in the last two presidents

your mileage may vary

Mike is a moron. Wake up!!!

0bama will be ready 8 yrs. fron now.

Wow. What an ignorant thing to say. Thanks for taking America back 50 years. OH NO COMMUNISM IS GOING TO INFECT US LIKE A DISEASE!!!

Your trolling falls on deaf ears, buddy. Get ready for Communist rule if you're right though.

I love a good Communist dictator, they go well with white wine and fish.

Well if Obamas a communist dictator than what would that make Hillary?
I guess shes Satan!

Mike, if you want people to take your opinions seriously, you have to learn to speak better english!

The Clintons are bullies who seem to think that by damaging people in the press, in this case calling names at a man who could have handed Obama Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. As I see it the Clintons used him until they didn't need him, he saw this and went to the Obama camp.

Chalk up more dirty Clinton tricks to Whitewater, Travelgate, Foster's murder, hidden documents appearing AFTER statute of limitations is up, Lewinski, Rev. Wright at Bill's prayer meeting the day Lewinski blew up in the press, the lying under oath in a sexual harassment lawsuit, the impeachment, now lies about the Irish peace process, Africa, being a soccer player as a girl in jr. high, Bosnia and even her daughter backed her on that one.

At what point do American's wake up and stop allowing the Clintons to fool the few all the time?

Are American's really as dumb as the Clinton's hope?

mike, obviously, is a moron

-some people are people, others more like old shoes -Zalinsky

The longer this process goes on the more I like Obama and the less I like Hillary. I believe this 'trend' will carry through to and through the presidency.

The above comment from a Clinton supporter is typical from the ignorant and uneducated that are voting for her. They have nothing to say but calling names.

Who want to vote for a 60 years old woman who can't remember what she did?

Awesome comment. Well researched and cited. Thanks for the "wake up" call. I can't believe I almost voted for a communist. Are you kidding me?

I have a feeling Obama will take PA away from Clinton.

Senator Clinton vigorously courts blue collar hand-to-mouth voters in Pennsylvania, yet her campaign has not paid the modest but vital bills of its small suppliers. This is dishonest, insensitive and hypocritical behavior. Shame on the Clinton clique.

The campus buzz is that obama is destined to win the nomination and that pelosi already knows that obama wants the governor of kansas Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius to be his running mate. The kansas governor is a two term, white, female. Does this negate the hillary voter backlash?

Obama is the real deal. Look at Bush Admistrations and just look at the mess the country is in now, Look at how Hilliary is running her Campaign. Mark Penn and now Bill Clinton the Colombian situation People come on.

Hillary has lots of experience --imagining things, like being under sniper fire in Bosnia. If she runs the presidency , should she win, the way she runs her campaign, we're in for a rough ride.

Billary is redneck. Hillary is too old to be president according to her husband, Bill.
He said Hillary is 60, she'll forget something when she is tired at 11 at night, and please don't bother to call her at 3 AM .

IN 1992 THE CLINTONS WENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO FIX THINGS

- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- First president to be held in contempt of court
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court

IN 2008 LETS SEND THEM BACK TO FINISH THEIR JOB

The DemoKlown Party of Retreat, Despair, Hopelessness and Ambiguity will not defend you on USA soil either.

Leadership and taxes

“It’s important to have core principles and values, but if you’re going to be active in policy and politics, you have to be a realist.” —Hillary Clinton

“We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re going to cut short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.” —Hillary Clinton, in a 2004 fundraising speech to wealthy liberals in San Francisco

Bipartisanship and reaching across the isle

“I believe in evil, and I think that there are evil people in the world.” —Hillary Clinton, in 1993, stating her opinion not of the terrorists who had just bombed the World Trade Center for the first time in 1993, but of those who opposed her health care reform plan

“You have got to hand it to them, these people are ruthless and they are relentless.” —Sen. Hillary Clinton, just a few months after 9/11, giving her opinion of Republicans

Health care

“We just can’t trust the American people to make these types of decisions. …Government has to make these choices for people.” —Hillary Clinton circa 1993, speaking to Rep. Dennis Hastert on the issue of who should control the allocation of money in her health care reform plan

“We can’t afford to have that money go to the private sector. The money has to go to the federal government because the federal government will spend that money better than the private sector will spend it.” —First Lady Hillary Clinton, in 1993, regarding health care reform

Free speech

“We’re all going to have to rethink how we deal with the Internet. As exciting as these new developments are, there are a number of serious issues without any kind of editing function or gate-keeping function.” —First Lady Hillary Clinton, in 1998, days after the Monica Lewinsky story was reported

Blaming America

“I pledge allegiance to the America that can be.” —Hillary Clinton, reluctant to say the Pledge of Allegiance, according to Chris Matthews

“The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation.” —Hillary Clinton

Imagination

“The fact of the matter is, I’ve always been a Yankees fan.” —Senate candidate Hillary Clinton, soon after launching her campaign in 1999, and ignoring prior public statements about growing up as a Cubs fan in Chicago

Obama’s Dubious Affiliations

There is no way a white man with the same background and credentials as Obama could ever be elected to any office in this country.

Look at Obama’s affiliations:
- Mr. Rezko is Obama’s long time friend and is a major mob figure.

- Mr. Auchi is a billionaire and major financial sponsor for Obama’s rise to power throughout the past years.
While working with Saddam Hussein, Auchi made his money through the sell of arms in Iraq and by stealing money from the Oil for Food program (no wonder Obama voted against invading Iraq)

- Senator Meeks who openly hates whites and gays and is listed on Obama’s campaign website as a major Obama supporter and backer and is one of Obama;s super-delegate. Mr. Meeks has been integral in helping Mr. Obama succeed in politics.

- Mr. Wright is a racist who hates America and whites with a Hitleresque approach to world affairs. Mr. Wright has been Mr. Obama’s spiritual mentor for over 20 years. Before the media exposed Mr. Wright, Mr. Wright was on Obama’s campaign staff as Obama's chief religious advisor. Mr. Wright and Mr. Meeks are ideologically closer to Karl Marx and Black Nationalism, than to Christianity.

- Mr. Ayers of the Weather Underground, a group that killed police and tried to bomb the US Capitol, served with Obama on the board of the leftist foundation called the Woods Fund.

- Mr. McPeaks is Obama’s military adviser and national campaign co-chairman who claims that American Jews are the "problem." and “Christian Zionists were driving America's policy in Iraq to benefit Israel.”

- Michelle Obama trumpets Obama as “the second coming of the messiah,” and also states that she “has never been proud to be an AMERICAN in her adult life".

The list goes on…

How can Obama’s bad judgment to choose to affiliate with criminals and fanatics be justified?

Had Hillary Clinton had any of the above ghosts in her closet, she would have been thrown out of the election long ago.

Hey everybody - am I missing something here?

It seems to me that perhaps instead of electing Obama president, it would be easier if we just shot ourselves in our collective foot.

Ephraim, you mean "type better English"...but I agree. When are we gonna see a hip hop video with Obama sportin' some hot gear?

"Obama is doing well in eastern Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia." Tell us why he is doing well. Could it be because that area is overwhelming black? Do ya think? Come on now. Just admit it. It's ironic that the title of this section is Political Intelligence since the writer obviously has none.

Just never let a little girl give Hillary flowers or she will run and scream "HIT THE DECK!"

Just go to google and type in "Obama Marxist" or "Obama communist", then make up your own minds.

David Axelrod, the brains behind the Obama candidacy, is in fact the son of a real life communist. His leanings are to the far far left whose followers which have already co-opted the Democrat party. Jimmy carter , who handed Iran over to the ayatollahs, is their elder statesman. Cindy Sheehan is their poster girl. Obama girl is their cheerleader. And rev. Wright is their spiritual leader. Behind the rows of chicklets, Obama is a nasty & arrogant Chicago style politician. That arrogance mixed with the blind enthusiasm of his "followers: (as he like to call them),more than likely translates into megalomania with hints of dictatorship leanings. He's one guy who never admits making errors and deflects criticism by simply calling himself a "bonehead".

Bottom Line:

Wow!
I love the range of comments & response!

I think Obama is reincarnation of Lincoln.

He has my vote after the intelligent
conversation with Petreus.

Hillary should abandon her ego trip and help unite the party by leaving the race and urging all of her supporters to back Obama.

She has badly mismanaged her campaign, financially and strategically. If she can't run a campaign, how can she run a country?

She has allowed her surrogates to speak lies and racial slurs.

She says the popular vote in Michigan should count-- when she was the only one on the ballot! That's what they do in dictatorships.

Her conduct has been erratic and lacking self-discipline. Is that the kind of person we want as commander in chief?

Obama has been tough and calm and gentlemanly under fire. He is energizing the Democratic Party.

Hillary, give up your sense of royal entitlement and move aside for the next president of the United States, Barack Obama.

We need change ! " NOT ANOTHER CLINTON OR JOHN BUSH ". WE don't need Bill having another scandal behind his wife's back or john playing Battle ship and monopoly to see if he knows how to budget our money.Obama may not be perfect but you better believe he will surround himself with people that will be good advisers.

the concept of the comunism fear of the 70-90 has ended mike, people really dont believe that comunism are devil any more 2008 duhhh, its arabs now lool....
and dont say obama is a terrorist u moron,,,,but listen guess its not really necessary to stress this point obama is gonna win because he is a candidate and clinton is an old bag that cant seem to just let go , she is a typical im right the world is wrong kind of person so lets not pay any attention to her . in the other hand republican if they dont cheat and take this election its a clear victory i dont care what people say or wat "fox" say's.... obama for president , lets finelly feed our kids America,,,

Obama is a liar, Hillary is a liar, McCain is a liar....well I think I want a communist...

Obama is the best thing for the US, let's activate and campaign for him so that he wins.

I am 80 years old and have a better memory than Hillary. Unfortunately for her, I remember too much of her history.

I AM VERY GLAD TO SEE AMERICA FINALLY WAKING UP TO SEE HILLARY AND BILL FOR WHAT THEY ARE LIARS AND CHEATS.WHAT AMERICAN PERSON WOULD WANT THAT IN A PRESIDENT?

Hey Mike,

What's your problem? We have had it with name calling and devicive political fear mongering. We can identify it before the first sentence concludes. Progress, forward/onward for the UNITED WHOLE through the progressive movement that is at the moment strong within the Democratic Party. Join in and your mind and body will thank you.

Communist by itself is not bad. It means equality for all. Capitalist means richer, stroger rules. Obama is the right man for the right moment. Amirica is changing.People like Clinton do not want and can't see that. The new generation want to rule.Obama is a centistrist, a reformist. He can protect America from the worst. To save the country we must chose Obama. Who can trust Hillary?. she bolongs to the past generation. God bless the new generation and America.

speaking for a republician who is leaning mccain. but with each day i am turning more to obama. america does not need another 4 years of this mess. so from an outsider obama will most likely be the next president and all you bashers will wish you kept your mout shut when you see the great changes helping you fill your wallet. as for hillary she just keeps telling lies and lies, now its funny her office burnd down with her tax returns in it so she can stall till after the pen vote so people want see what she is hiding. by that time she will have a few more deligates maybe will gain in obama by 10 if that much. anyway i will most likely be voting for obama and i no quite a few more republicians who will also be voting for him.

UNBELIEVABLE ARTICLE ABOUT OBAMA, WHERE HE GETS HIS MONEY, AND THE FACT THAT HE HAS BEEN USING GEORGE BUSH/KARL ROVE TACTICS FROM THE BEGINNING (Please use the link below to read the whole article) -- The Washington Post -- April 11,2008 -- Obama gets plenty of money from big donors too.

http://tinyurl.com/6dtgq6

Hillary does need to win by large margins (25% or better) in the next contests to close the gap in delegates.....Its NOT a close race.....

Superdelegates you say? well considering that Obama has picked up over 60 since super tuesday, including close personal friends and cabinet members of the Clintons, and she has only gained about 5

For the better of the party hillary drop out and join the lead dem for prez

Interesting point. I am here in missouri and the campuss buzz here is that obama is our choice and he has narrowed his VP choice down to two people: Missouri Senator Claire Mccaskill or Kansa Governor Kathleen Sebellius. We want claire. but either choice negates the Hillary Clinton backlash.

Old, poor, uneducated, women... support Billary... I thought 'the old' were supposed to be wise... and I'm over 35.
The Clintons savage their own, or Bill Richardson wouldn't have left them, in the past where they belong.
A week and a half to go and Obama continues to improve... Billary will lose PA... run out of gas... and sputter along in denial, until the dem leadership calls it over, and puts everyone out of the Clinton misery. Pack it in ladies, HRC is not 'the one'... just a bitter, divisive, opportunist. Obama will win... criticisms of him fall on deaf ears because they're -rarely- true and he continues to show his ability to lead and do the right thing in an overall positive campaign. Obama can win converts, Billary just alienates, to begin with a deficit of half the country against them. Get real.

According to Larry Sinclair,

"Barack Obama IS a liar and Barack Obama DID use crack cocaine in November of 1999, and Barack Obama did SELL COCAINE in November 1999, to me, because I gave the money for the cocaine to BARACK OBAMA, and Barack Obama handed the cocaine to me. That is the transaction, and that constitutes Barack Obama selling me cocaine."

GOODBY TO HILARY AND HER LYING, WILL DORK ANYBODY, HUSBAND. THEY SHOULD GO BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

HEY HIL, IN A FEW DAYS YOUR 15 MINUTES WILL BE UP BUT PLEASE DO NOT QUIT THE CAMPAGN BECAUSE THE LONGER YOU FIGHT THE STUPER YOU LOOK PLUS BILLS TWISTING OF THE TRUTH IS VERY ENTERTAINING. BY STAYING IN THE RACE YOU ARE REALLY HELPING JOHN McCAIN. YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU CAN NOT POSSIBLY WIN THE NOMINATION.

OH, AND BY THE WAY, AFTER YOU LOSE THE NOMINATION DO YOU REALLY THINK THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL GIVE YOU THE NY GOVERNORS OFFICE. WITH ALL OF THE BRIDGES YOU AND BILL ARE BURNING IT'S GOING TO BE PAY BACK TIME. YOU WILL SERVE OUT YOUR SENATE TERM AS THE OLD WRINKLED LADY YOU ARE, WITH NO COMRADES OR FRIENDS IN EITHER PARTY...SERVES YOU RIGHT.

Colin Powell gave a resounding endorsement for Obama without actually endorsing him:

Chances for a John McCain-Colin Powell ticket likely crashed and burned Thursday when the ex-secretary of state said the next President won't be able to fight two wars at current troop levels. Powell also irked Republicans by praising Democratic front-runner Barack Obama for his handling of the firestorm surrounding comments made by his ex-pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright - and dismissed criticism the Illinois Democrat doesn't have enough experience to be President.

On the same day President Bush announced he'll halt troop withdrawals after July and keep the U.S. force level in Iraq at 140,000, the former highest-ranking general stuck to his script in giving advice to presidential candidates.

"Whichever one of them becomes President on Jan. 1, 2009, they will face a military force that cannot continue to sustain 140,000 people deployed in Iraq ...or 25,000 people we have deployed in Afghanistan and our other deployments," Powell told ABC's "Good Morning America."

and I quote, "I work for Hillary Clinton, and the election is rigged. Clinton will keep the fat cats happy. Embrace yourself for another 100 years of oil wars."

Based on what is emerging from the past it seems that experience is a liability or did I misspell. Lie Ability ? Corrupt Ability? ect...

Cora, if the average voter's intelligence level is reflected by the average intelligence demonstrated by comments in this thread, we're in for a rough ride no matter who takes the White House.

In the material world, no political leader can save us from ourselves. Or as Walt Kelly once timelessly put it: We have met the enemy, and he is us.

Both Democrat candidates stink. Both are out doing each other in pandering for votes. Recently both stated high executive salaries are bad. I also think that an ex-president should not make 10 million a year plus expenses making speeches. And since both don't like high salaries, why not also take away the obscene money most Hollywood stars make?

I'm with Darcy: the longer this process goes on, the less I like Hillary and the more I like Barak. The Clintons have not conducted themselves with honor through this entire campaign, and their reputation and standing--at least in my eyes--is the worse for it. 'll vote for either one of them because I'm not about to cut off my nose despite my face by putting the one who confuses Sunnis and Shiites, doesn't understand the economy, and likes to wage war. I just hope it will be Barak Obama Ill be voting for.
p.s. Natlaie remark about Hillary not remembering what she did is cute--but a tad ageist. I don't think Clinton's age has anything to do with it.

First off, I just shake my head at some of the comments I've been reading, mostly about Senator Obama. I've heard people say he's Muslim (wrong), communist (please), Al-Qaeda (WTF?)...all just blind hatred and ignorance. Some of you people just make me sad.

This is really getting old. Pennsylvania is HRC's last stand; she needs to absolutely trounce Obama to have any chance, and that's just not going to happen. I voted for Bill twice, I have no hatred for his wife, and I love the way they've slapped the GOP around for decades...and I appreciate the fact that the Clintons don't know how to lose (lack of experience) but it's time to face the facts.

Hillary needs to drop out, she's dead in the water and just hurting the Democratic Party.

Face it folks, we're getting a man of mixed race for President. Deal with it.

Oh my my...Hillary couldn't recall running for cover under sniper fire? I would certainly remember gun fire. Hillary knows the power of the Presidency from 8 yrs in the White House. She wants it back and wants it badly. She will leave only if someone drags her by her ankles as she digs her claws in the entry way carpet. Come on people, enough of Hillary and Bill and their rush to be the most powerful couple in the world. Hillary wants power and to be crowned president. Obama will be chosen.

Hillary and her wife are ruthless killers - just look at the sheer number of former business partners and associates who have died under "suspicious" conditions.

Frankly speaking, B. Hussain is the liberals only choice because there will be a mass revolt if another Clinton runs for national office.

Why do you keep posting these meaningless polls. If you must know there is another poll where Hillary is in front by over 10%. So take your meaningless poll and stop creating news that's not there. Why don't you cover real news.

Only 4 points down? My money's on Tiger Woods. Go, Tiger!

my my....Hillary Clinton just imagined being under sniper fire? Do you really think you would forget it if you were under threat of being shot at...ever? Hillary knows the power that goes with being president and that is her real goal, to get back to that power position. Eight years in the White House is not enough. She wants it back and will not give up the primary contest even if she is dragged by her ankles as she clutches and claws at the gates of the White house. She really believes the White House is her God given home. After her I'm sure she will support Chelsea for president.

Supporters of Clintons.....Ask yourself seriously what your motivation is to support a pathalogical liar? One who does not pay her bills? One who thinks that the American ppl are Stupid, One who laughs off questions being asked of her, one who allows and accepts a man cheating on her infront of the whole world......What positive qualities can you Clinton supporters come up with other than she is a women, and you just feel it is a womens time......I am a women writing this and there is no way I would desire Hillary or any other women to get this Ctry out of the mess that Bush has gotten us in.....Now, I know she caters to the uneducated but really is America still that stupid? They got hoodwinked in Ohio and Texas and beleive me those ppl wish they could take their vote back.......Another Question....Why are you Clinton supporters so willing to overlook her lies, and the fact she has a serious problem?

I like the way Obama even fired one of his staff for name calling. Obama is great. Maybe his Presidency will teach bloggers about having a civil debate. Come on! Bush has made such a mess of things we have to pull together!

John McWar will lose the general he cannot even talk sense about the economy with the aide of a teleprompter.
He should also release his medical records, who knows we could find that he is taking Aricept for his cognitive impairment.
Someone better make him remember the difference betweem a Shiite and a Sunni

What's wrong with all of you. What happened rationality and good sense. All of the candidates are qualified. Even John McCain said Obama would be a good President. The real decision is war or no war. I vote no to war. Democrats no, Republicans yes. I'm voting for a Democrat. I don't care if Obama is a member of the Black Panther Party.

I think some superdelegate are not endorsing Obama because they are scared of the Clintons.

Most of those who have endorsed him talk of how hard and heated it was to break the news to the Clintons.

Take the case of Bill Richardson.

I think they should sit up and be "Super" not just delegates

BUZZARD'S KORNER ... I agree with you 100%

But it began with the media buying her story of bias and now she can play whatever game she wants and get postive ratings.
Look at how short lived her lies sit in the media spotlight.
Look at how the media will even justify for lies for her.

I'm just glad other people like yourself see what I'm seeing.

They call her strong and I use your example to question her strength.
She stuck with Bill. Why? After that national humiliation and it was not the first one if they recall Paula Jones and others. She cries about getting the first question. She cries about the media bias and yet she is suppose to be use to this when she compares herself with Obama. That is funny because I haven't heard him make any of these complaints.

And I expect more lies or out of context statements from her because the polls are closing in on her.
And I expect some other fake ad on the eve of the primary as another scare tactic straight out of the Bush tactics that got us in to this ward.

And why would people support Bill with their money considering the embarrassment he put this country in with his actions?
This is a man who lied under oath so what makes them think he is telling them the truth??????

Philadelphia can give the democrats a much better chance by bringing this to a close April 22 by voting for Obama.

We will have more time to unify the party and rollover McCain.

I guess Obama's campaign will tell us if American can be bought. -With expensive ad campaigns and kool aid. Any American who does a little research will understand that there are some inherent problems with Obama's blind ambition that have made him vulnerable to the Republican machinery in the Fall. He is a dangerous man, his racism, his inconsistency, his exploitation, his fear and scarcity tactics. I hope that Pennsylvania will have a chance to see his multifaceted personae before the election rather than after. This man scares me, because his words match my beliefs, and his actions match someone blinded by arrogance and blind ambition.

Obama has been immersed in Rev. Wright's sermons for 20 years. No church-goer would attend a church for 20 years if he really disagrees with the pastor's sermons. Obama is so in tune with Rev. Wright that the latter was by his side at every major step of his life, ie. officiating his wedding, and baptising his two daughters. Rev. Wright is like a surrogate father to him. If you don't go to church, think about would someone who doesn't like an open house buy the house and live in it for 20 years? There is just no way. Knowing that Rev. Wright has been wrong, why didn't Obama do anything about it? Obama said he has done nothing about Wright's wrong and divisive sermons because he is expecting him to retire. Did Obama know 20 years ago that Rev. Wright is retiring next month? It is the most absurd excuse. If Obama becomes the President, he will do nothing about any problem but just hope that it will go away. Hope is not a plan. Voters in Pennsylvania, you are running out of time for false hopes, you will be much better off with a pragmatic Hillary Clinton, who will create jobs for you, deliver on universal health care, and restore peace and prosperity.

You're a little behind the times, Mike. Obama is not a communist. He's an Islamo-fascist terrorist. Wake Up!!! (get your boogymen straight).

I tried Googling Obama communist and was a tad disappointed. But THEN I Googled Hillary Satan and what do you know...!!!!!

Bu then again, supposed egalitarianism of communism aside, perhaps the Devil's in the details???

This really hurts because I was the biggest Obama supporter out there in Scranton. I have donated about $2000 to the Obama campaign that I now wish I could have back. Ok, I let the comment about your grandmother slide, I saw your perspective. But this comment is too much. Religion is a symptom of a despondent, depressed America? Does Obama think he is Karl Marx? Say it isn’t so, really, say it isn’t so. I don’t believe a word you say anymore, and I will be e-mailing Mr Axelrod for a refund tonight.

Zogby polls were greatly distorted to favor Obama before both the New Hampshire primary and the California primary. It was off by 23 points before the California primary, which Clinton won by 10 points.

Quess what,? Zogby is Arab. Does that tell you who wants Obama to win?

Obama is running as an anti-war candidate. Yet he said he would strike Iran and Pakistan in various speeches or debates in 2007 and 2008. Of course, the Iranians are not Arab, nor are the Pakistanis. When asked if he would send in troops into Kenya to support his Communist cousin Odinga, he answered, "We're not there yet."

Rezko is Syrian, Auchi is Iraqi. Obama keeps harping on and on that he was against the war in Iraq from the first. He wasn't in the Senate at the time. And there is no way to know if he would have actually voted against the war if he had been in the Senate, or what the consequences would have been for him politically if he had voted against the war. What we do know is that he is actually a war candidate who only wants to get out of Iraq in order to have the resources to take the fight somewhere else.

The immaturity displayed in most of these posts is astounding. I hope that you will all learn to think with more open minds, earnestly seeking discernment about right and wrong, truth and falsehood, good will and self-interest.

As a veteran, the thing that I don't like about Mrs. Clinton the most, is that she married a draft dodger husband after he joined the Army ROTC at the University of Arkansas to keep from being called to serve his country. His letter to the commanding officer at the University of Arkansas said he couldn't come out publicly as a conscientious objector because of "political aspirations." Boy, they both got that right.

From the letter " I decided to accept the draft in spite of my beliefs for one reason: to maintain my political viability within the system. " Bill Clinton 1969

Please: No more Clintons in the White House. They will say anything to "win."

I THINK OBAMA IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR AMERICA BCZ IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN UNITE THE COUNTRY FORGET OBOUT CLINTON.

Having been born into a relatively poor family myself, I see no merit in having a President who shares my background. Nor need my President look like me, nor share my religion. But at least I would like one who, having achieved adulthood, landed on the same planet. Obama lives in ultra-liberal la la land, and the real problem with him is that, like all uber-liberals, he is convinced he knows us. He is, paradoxically, like the great white hunter who THINKS he knows us because he visited our land and traded beads for our elephant tusks.

Whether you like Obama or not, lets end this madness because Hillary is DONE!

Vote for Obama on April 22 so we can get to the real deal.

Ok ... I googled Obama marxist like someone above suggested and the first thing I found was the charge being asserted by Tom DeLay. That tells me everything I need to know. DeLay is an idiot and so are the people who spew his poison.

Some of these comments reveal a pathetic lack savvy about the crucial issues at stake in this election. Some of these labels reveal the low level of political and intellectual maturity of their authors. To be poor in the richest country must be a truly “bitter” experience. The renown American historian Arthur M. Schlesinger quotes Robert Kennedy saying „Truth is rugged”. I think, he is right, for truth is tough to swallow. Screwing words of your opponent out of context to cover up real suffering and disappointment of voters is neither “solution” nor wisdom of a veteran who know so little about economic matters. I used to admire the Clintons but this campaign has eroded that respect completely. Now McCain also seems to yield to that temptation which is destroying Hilary’s campaign. Jeez! What is shameful about being "bitter" when I see my dreams, my home, and living standard all being washed away? What is shameful about saying that I’m hurting because my leaders have their heads in the pockets of lobbyists creating the miseries I find myself in – I’m losing my home, losing my job, I cannot pay my children’s college fees? What is “elitism” and “condescension” about a politician speaking the truth, articulating the felt and real emotional, socio-political conditions of his compatriots? If a politician does not see and unveil the brutal reality of the people how can s/he even know and attempt to solve them? Are people in Pennsylvania happy because the past policies of politicians like the Clintons and McCain, the only two candidates in this election race who are millionaires, have created miserable financial crises in Indiana and Pennsylvania? Why is "truth" the first victim in politics? Are Clinton and McCain showing respect to the victims of corporate greed, lobbyism and flawed politics which they represent? Small wonder prophets of truth have been killed since Abel.

Obama's wife can beat up Hill's wife.

Having had Bush as CEO has helped me to recognize how valuable temperament is to a leader. A really good one is able to listen to all sides of an issue without prejudging those positions or getting angry with those who aren't mouthing what the leader wants to hear. Only one of these three has this quality. Both Clinton & McCain have a history of getting upset with those who disagree with them.

If experience were the most valuable "quality" then we would simply elect the next oldest politician in the country... which would be Robert Byrd. Does anyone think he would be a good choice???

M;y gut feeling tells me Obama is not the man we want as the President of the United States of America. This year's race rem;inds me of how the evangelicals all fell for how religious Bush was and he would make the best President because of it. Well we have seen the results. I think we all need to be sure that we are not being taken in by charisma and words. They come easy to some people who know they can come across by them. Obama's wife and pastor and other relationships he has had so early in his career are pretty scary. The people from Illinois have told me he has not done a thing for them except talk about being our President..............................So how much is he talk the talk or walk the talk? Our Presidency is a hard way to find out. Heaven help us.

is very sad to see the comments they are full of negative words.. is easy to comments when you jest watch on the screen the politically debate.. people must realize.. politics in history is a game of power so the logic is the strongest and smart and little dirty will whin.. let the two senator try until the lost moment ...is good for America and good for the winner sergio premoli los angeles

Ann Marie:
>>Obama's wife and pastor and other relationships he has had so early in his
>>career are pretty scary.

Hmm I wonder what Ann Marie's early career was like? Maybe if people think with their brains instead of their guts, we might get past this pointless rhetoric.

All Clinton seems to do is wait until, among the hundreds of thousands of words he says on the road, Obama makes a questionable statement. Now we have to discuss the minutiae of another out-of-context quote.

Obama is the real deal. We need some charisma and some new ideas. Clinton and McCain both represent business as usual. So, decide for yourself if you want to take a chance, and save America from imploding.

Yes we CAN! Obama for America '08!

Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.

The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.

Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.

http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/

Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.

Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.

Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON --
Recently, Obama's campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming tax fraud charges — Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and disclose Obama's MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke "GLORK" Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! --

OBAM YOU'RE NO JFK --

"GLORK" Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: "Tales Calculated To Drive You." He is a MUSLIM "Glork" He's MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek.

Michelle Obama should be ashamed.

"GLORK" Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Beneath that Darth-Vader-Mace-Windu-Jedi-Me ssiah Helmet hairdo of Michelle Obama lurks a Wildabeast. If Michelle Obama new what her husband -- the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. The Lexis Nexis Albatross Abacus Complex of Obama and Michelle's relationship with MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery is about as much of a Hoax as Oxfam volunteers believe in HIV-- AIDS witch doctors in Africa they feed. If Barack Obama had married Shaniqua instead of Michelle, his jackenapes collegial elitism attraction would be taken a lot more seriously. Expectations are that Obama will manage his explosive MUSLIM JIHADI -- FATIMA EXTREMISM obsession bitter. He is a MUSLIM "Glork" It’s time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He's MAD!!!

THE SPEECH --

The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama's speech takes credit for Ashley's dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic "I Have A Dream" speech. In Obama's speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama's grandmother share; represents Obama's self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama's Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn -- a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama's speech is a brilliant failure.

MUSLIM LIES --

The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign. The danger involved with this self-aggrandizing, -a-hoop, Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama is that -- "Like Father Like Son" Obama is constantly wanting to impress America with "...his incapacity for sound judgment." In 2005, Sen. Obama voted for the Dick Cheney energy bill, which Cheney wrote in secret with the oil industry. Hillary Clinton opposed Cheney's energy bill, has a plan to eliminate oil industry tax breaks, and would require oil companies to contribute to a $50 billion strategic energy fund to jump-start research and investment in clean energy technologies. On top of the horrible crime Obama executed in Harlem, the fact is, we have to hear it from Karl Rove about Obama's latest Campaign Crisis: "GLORK" Top Ten Obama Lies:

1. Obam said his parents met at the Selma march -- Reality: He was born 4 years before that.

2. Obam said he was a constitutional law professor -- Reality: . . . Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama's primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school..

3. Obam said he spoke fluent Indonesian as a child -- Reality: . . . Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet another Phi Beta Krakatau lie from Obama. Those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israel la Pareira Darmawan, Obama's 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. Truth-be-told: Obama's Indonesian teachers say Kaku-Pooh.

4. Obam said he was involved in community asbestos and housing project for the poor -- Reality: Didn't happen. This was the basis for Barack and Michelle's claim, that he was a community activist on the South and East Side of Chicago. Usher United Arab Emirates (UAE) A+ lie both he and his twenty-four (24) mule-team, Hus-suey loving wife Michelle Obama have been claiming in the campaign -- Reality: The Chicago Newspaper's Obelus -- Kiss-A-Cuss:...NO-MAMA.

5. Obam said in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white -- Reality: Didn't happen. Both Magazines (Life and Ebony), and the Rev. Wright and Farrakhan MUSLIM Trumpet Newsmagazine say, just didn't happen.

6. Obam’s Campaign Didn’t Have The “Technical Capacity” To Produce The “1984” Ad:

Obama: “But it's not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don't have the technical capacity to create something like that.” (CNN’s “Larry King Live,” 3/24/07) -- Reality:...The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A “Sunday Afternoon” On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: “I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs.”

7. Obam’s Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them:

“According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama’s Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money.” (Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson, -- Reality: “...An Old Friend's Troublesome Return,” Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07).

8. Obam voted to bring low-cost foreign labor into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina -- Reality:...This was a slap in the face against the African-Americans who were displaced in that city. Obama also voted to place Michael Chertoff, the man responsible for the Katrina catastrophe, in charge of Homeland Security. Obama voted for Senate-Bills that gave Blackwater the funding they needed to shoot the folks of New Orleans who were only trying to save their own lives. The towel head voted to allow Michael Chertoff to waive all applicable laws, including murder, torture, kidnaping, and he suppoted water-boarding.

9. Obam voted more than five times for USA-PATRIOT ACT renewal -- Reality:...This is a Senate-Bill patently offensive to most Americans. City after city has passed resolutions condemning USA-PATRIOT ACT. Obama chose to side with tyranny over freedom and Bush over the folks on this issue. The Real ID Act, which would allow Michael Chertoff to declare martial law and imprison Americans, was supported by Obama, as noted above.

10. Obam is not a MAD MAN. Senator Obama Is not involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor, now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO), or Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley. Senator Obama is not involved in any nuclear security, bribery, money payoffs, or cronyism in the state of Illinois; or criminal activities related to the BIG HALIBURTAN and V.P. Cheney's Halliburton bribery case; or any political misjudgment in his escalating campaign crisis. "GLORK" Senator Obama is not a self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box. Obama executed no crime in Harlem. Obama is Not America's Poison -- Reality:...He's Radio-Active.

SOULJAH JIHAD -- OBAMA CAMPAIGN CRISIS

The Republicans' disengagement (media bias), if not disillusionment, with the economic campaign issues is borne out by the fact that many more Republicans are able to explain, extinguish, and excoriate the name Barrack Obama with the term (JIHAD), than can name Bush/Dick Cheney and McCain -- as the Big Oil -- BIG HALLIBURTAN politicians expanding GOP IRAQ WAR ideology, and Republican White House Party Elders' GI Bill of Rights for the 21st century IRAQ WAR ECONOMY. Even among Republicans, Clinton is much more visible than GOP presumptive candidate John McCain towards affecting positively the important economic issues facing America's middle class economy.

When asked who they would vote for in the general election for president of the United States, the natural pendulum swing in America is 79% of Republicans named Hillary Clinton as their choice. Reasons for Obama's Campaign Crisis "GLORK" Campaign Crisis include:

"Obama has more holes in him than Swiss-Cheese." (CNN’s “Politics.com,” 4/01/08)

Obama's presidential campaign has received $2,812,336 from firms that employ registered federal lobbyists. [fec.gov]

Obama has taken $405,747 from the Pharmaceutical industry. [opensecrets.org]

Obama has received $1,185,937 from the Commercial Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]

Obama has received over six million dollars from the Securities & Investment industry. [opensecrets.org]

Obama has taken $608,822 from the Insurance industry. [opensecrets.org]

Obam has taken $168,584 from the Mortgage Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]

"GLORK" SOULJAH JIHAD -- CAMPAIGN CRISIS

WASHINGTON — Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened.

"GLORK" Sen. Barack Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened over the last month, particularly among men and upper-income voters, as voters have taken a slightly less positive view of him than they did after his burst of victories in February, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

The survey suggests that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, may have been at something of a peak in February, propelled by a string of primary and caucus victories over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, and that perceptions of him are dramatically trending downward.

Mr. Obama’s favorability rating among Democratic primary voters has dropped seventeen percentage points, to 42 percent, since the last Times/CBS News survey, in late February. While that figure is steadily declining, this dramatic decline came in a month during which he endured withering attacks from Mrs. Clinton and responded to reports that his former pastor had made politically inflammatory statements from his church’s pulpit in Chicago, and swirling questions about what Barack Obama did in Harlem.

The events of the last month appear to have fundamentally altered the race for the party’s nomination and provided what Mrs. Clinton’s campaign has been seeking: evidence of a collapse in Mr. Obama’s standing or an overwhelming preference voiced for Mrs. Clinton by Democratic and Republican voters in polls: -- developments in Obama's ongoing Campaign Crisis, that could be used to persuade uncommitted super-delegates to sign on with Hillary Clinton.

Twenty-six percent of the general electorate voters who heard of the Apologia speech that Mr. Obama the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama gave to try to deal with the controversy over Obama's separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah, said it made them dislike him. And 74 percent of Democrats and Republicans said Mr. Obama's Campaign Crisis "GLORK" Campaign Crisis stems from the fact that he shows continued misjudgment for even the most challenging problems. Mr. Obama lacks the decisive capability to lead, willingness to listen, conviction and courage. Mr. Obama uses false charges and exaggerated claims to play politics with national security. Mr. Obama lied about the politics of his campaign, and knew about Rev. Wright's MUSLIM Farrakhan - JIHADI -- FATIMA EXTREMIST mob connection to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

Fact Check: Sen. Obama on Lobbyists --

"When it comes to lobbyists, Senator Obama’s words might sound nice but voters need to make sure they read the fine print. Despite trying to give the impression that he has no relationship with lobbyists or special interests, the reality is that Senator Obama takes money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists and state lobbyists.” –Statement from Clinton Deputy Communications Director, Phil Singer
Sen. Obama Has Ties to Lobbyists in His Presidential Bid

Public Citizen: 10 of Sen. Obama's bundlers have been federal lobbyists. The Public Citizen report listed the following ten bundlers for Sen. Obama who have registered as federal lobbyists: Frank Clark, Commonwealth Edison; Scott Harris, Harris Wiltshire and Grannis; Allan J. Katz, Akerman Senterfitt; Robert S. Litt, Arnold & Porter; Thomas J. Perrelli, Jenner and Block; Thomas A. Reed, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP; Paul N. Roth, Schulte Roth & Zabel; Miriam Sapiro, Summit Strategies; Alan Solomont, Solomont Bailis Ventures; and Tom E. Wheeler, Core Capital Partners. [Public Citizen, 1/29/08]

Sen. Obama takes money from employees of firms that lobby and has lobbyists as advisers. "But those who lobby for a living say it's not that simple, and even Obama's stance shows some flexibility. He won't take money from federal lobbyists but accepts money from employees of firms and corporations that lobby, and he uses lobbyists and other government relations professionals as advisers... Obama has also used major fundraisers who are registered lobbyists on the state level. And he uses registered federal lobbyists such as Broderick Johnson, who lobbies for AT&T and Shell Oil, among others, as a campaign adviser. Because Johnson isn't giving money to Obama, his name won't show up in Federal Election Commission records." [Chicago Tribune, 2/10/08]

Bloomberg: Five of [Obama’s] ten biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington. "While Obama doesn't accept money from registered federal lobbyists, five of his 10 biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington…Among Obama's top donors were employees of the Chicago-based law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, who gave $105,750 in the first quarter. The firm was paid $4.5 million last year" for lobbying the federal government. [Bloomberg, 6/7/07]

Prior to His Presidential Campaign, Sen. Obama took Money from Lobbyists and PACs

1996-2004: $296,000 of the $461,000 Sen. Obama raised as a state senator came from PACs, corporate contributions or unions. "But behind Obama's campaign rhetoric about taking on special interests lies a more complicated truth. A Globe review of Obama's campaign finance records shows that he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs as a state legislator in Illinois, a US senator, and a presidential aspirant. In Obama's eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns -- $296,000 of $461,000 -- came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show." [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]

In his 2004 U.S. Senate race, Sen. Obama raised $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs. "Obama's US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics. His $1.3 million from PACs represents 8 percent of what he has raised overall." [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]

I wouldn't be surprised if Obama's presence in the '08 campaign has helped with new voter registration amongst youth.

Obama has surronded himself with nutjobs, racist, crooks and terrorist.
I'd never vote for him. He obviously has no experience and no integrity.
Everytime his campaign releases false accusations and distortions of his opponents views and statements, I resolve to vote against Obama strengthens.
He uses dirty smear tactics that I''ve heard him rally against....This is not change or hope.
