Obama says he needs to do better with older voters

Some pundint's ask disingenuously, Why Can't Barack Close the Deal? The TRUTH OF THE MATTER, is that Barack is fighting TWO opponents, Clinton & the Republican Machine: Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan, Wolf Blitzer,Fox News and they fight a lot dirtier, louder, harder than "light"! They fight with lies, distortions, brain wash and money. Barack is doing something new and necessary, though slower because a loud voice gets a lot more attention than a sane, compassionate, low-speaking one, like Barack's. That is why he is having such a hard time. Look at the unevenness and unfairness of the last debate? The new Republican's and Clinton's talking point is why cannot Barack put it away. The answer is he is fighting a three-headed Giant, the Clintons and the Republican Machine -- it is a Giant compared to Barack and the assault goes on 24/7 starting with Morning Joe and continuing all day with Fox News! Then there are the new swift-boat TV adds and false emails, he is being blanketed with -- and then they smile to themselves and ask smugly, "Why can't he put her away? Knowing the dark answer to this question and the dark seed they hope to plant into the minds of the people who are unable to think for themselves and are influenced by fear and ignorance. But humanity's heart is opening to the light and the energy of goodwill. May be this time, we can overcome these awful forces of destruction to mankind, may be this time.

Yes, I think HRS ie being disingenuous when asking "Why can't Obama close the deal?" I think the better questions are "Why are you behind?" "Why have you been behind for months? "Why are you still pushing?" "Why can't YOU win?" She is so ruthless. So willing to go the distance to attack her opponent. Negative, lies a lot, and so does her husband it seems...if she wins the primary, right now, it feels like my consience won't allow me to vote for her as badly as I want a democract in the white house next year. Let's hope her supporters come out for her in november.

We are older voters and think that he should stop answering accusations from the Clinton campaign and get back on track with his message and what he will try to accomplish as President of the United States. We need him and his message.

Obama cannot close the deal because the American voters now know more about Obama than he can orate well and read a teleprompter! He only leads now because the media totally kept the VOTERS in the dark about this candidate. Had they known more about Obama, the Wright contoversy, Ayers, Rezko, his wife's own comments and his own comments in San Franscico, he would have been out from Day 1! He seems almost UnAmerican in view point.
And the "delegate" count is a joke, too. Why? Because of DNC rules put into play in the 1980's, Obama gets almost 2 to 1 delegates in urban areas. Is this fair? NO! And the media never talks about it. The delegate count should be in proportion to the popular vote. And of course, he cannot carry Florida or Michigan, so of course, he wants no revote or no seating of the delegates. But the votes are out there and they cannot be ignored. Especially if we want to win in November.
If the remaining Democrat voters, The DNC and the Super Delegates do not accept the fact that it is Hillary Clinton, not Barack Obama, that carries the CORE Democrats and the KEY CRUCIAL states to WIN in November, then they have put McCain in office. The DNC and Super delegates themselves will be responsible for the loss!

According to the BBC, "The results in Pennsylvania, which Mrs Clinton claimed to be an "overwhelming victory", showed 54.3% for Mrs Clinton to 45.7% for Mr Obama, with a little over 99% of returns counted."

I'm not very good with math, but does that seem like a double digit win to you?

Finally the corner has been turned and Hillary is on her way to the White House! We always knew you were a fighter and would whatever was necessary to fight for the people.

Even back in Arkansas you stood up to those who tried to ruin the state's reputation by trying to make something of Bill's rumored affairs. You stood by your man and the people of Arkansas, shut down the talk, and showed your opponents what you were made of.

When you got to the White House you didn’t forget where you came from and helped the people of the good state of Arkansas. You did everything you could to be sure that any investors in the Whitewater real estate investment opportunity didn’t lose the investment money they worked so hard for. It took years but you didn’t quit because you are a fighter, and in the end, you won.

You never stopped fighting. Even though you knew your intentions would be misinterpreted by the rabid press, you knew you had to remove those Travel Office beaurocrats who were just wasting taxpayer money. It just made plain sense to put your own people in because you knew you could count on them. Your loyalty to your friends is inspirational!

You and Bill are always thinking ahead in your commitment to the American people. For decades the Congress had been dominated by the same old ‘business as usual’ politicians. You knew it was time for change and everything you did in your administration encouraged it. And when the 1994 elections were over we had a whole new Congress! Even though they were all Republicans, you and Bill were in the White House and in charge. You could reach across the aisle and lead the way forward with your vision of the future.

With greatness comes adversity and you rose to the challenge. Many people were afraid of your ‘yes we will!’ vision of the country and tried to put roadblocks in your way. It was amazing how low people would go to try to destroy you and Bill. They tried to manufacture that story about Johnny Chung, and how the head of the Chinese military intelligence gave him $300,000 to help you and Bill get re-elected. But you persevered and in the end you were vindicated when the FBI found it was only $20,000 in non-legal contributions that he made.

You have proved yourself over and over to the American people. When Bill was duped by Monica Lewinsky, you knew he was only trying to help out what he thought was a young, bright intern by showing her how great national service could be. He couldn’t know that she didn’t possess the most important character trait needed for political life – that you must always protect national secrets. She didn’t remember that old saying that loose lips sink ships.

As always, though, you came to the aid of your country. After all the guilt he had that he could have been so naïve when he was only trying to help someone get ahead, I’m sure it was you who contacted Reverend Wright and had him counsel Bill (I don’t blame you for calling on him, because back then, he was known as a great religious person and a respected theologian and all those videos of him weren’t around yet).

You were always very tuned into God, and you have always followed your faith, like the example you set when you joined The Fellowship back in 1993. You had the foresight to see that the message of faith could only be spread through power. You reached with other members like Rick Santorum to follow in the footsteps of past Fellowship members like Duvalier of Haiti, Park of South Korea, Martinez of Honduras, and Barre of Somalia. Some called them dictators but you in the Fellowship knew they were leaders of strength.

And when it was time for you and Bill to finally leave the White House you knew you were not done. There was so much more opportunity in this great nation, and the fight had to continue. You chose to run for the Senate and work with those you brought to power those many years ago. Together you sought out tyranny in Iraq and put our country on a path that will be remembered throughout history.

Now it’s your turn to do for America as much as your great husband Bill did. The circle will be complete and the days of the past will again forever change the future. How fantastic it will be to have both you and Bill in control again. It’s something that can hardly be imagined!

Continue your fight. Do whatever it takes. We all know that you are up to it, and as you always tell us – Count on Hillary!

Not only can she do it, but we know she most certainly will!

Obama is the insider candidate for rich old white guys over 50 ..Bruce Springsteen, John Kerry, Chris Dodd, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, Bill Bradley.,Michael Clooney. ho-Hum.

He also lost the majority of women when he said, "you're likable enough, Hillary.'

I don't want a President who is so dishonest and worse than ruthless. I don't want a President who wins on negative attacks. Even John Mccain has asked NC to pull the negative ad against Obama featuring his former Pator. McCain has CLASS and HONOR and Hillary doesn't have it or know what it is. I feel the media is giving in and she is HUSTLING all of us. Some people are buying it. I also observe what the media is calling blue-collare voters for Hillary are really racists. That is why they vote for a White woman even tho. there is a qualified Black Professional. I am a 67 Grandmother from SD and I see someone who can't manage or operate a Campaign properly, financially, personnel-wise or message, is this how she would manage the United States of America? Can you imagine? Think of our Country for God's sake.

Yesterdays primary was the first since Obama's Wright and San Francisco fiascos. Obama lost by almost 10 percent, even though he FAR outspent Clinton on advertising. This indicates Clinton has the advantage from here on out, except likely for North Carolina. Exposure of Obamas close relationship to shady characters and his negative remarks about small town people have given Clinton a fair shake, which she should have had all along.

Penn's governor Rendell said Penn's white voters won't vote for Obama, the black candidate; he was right and he was a racist. Because he is white therefore no one hold him accountable for his racist comment. This country is not ready for African-American President, regardless. Please don't go to other countries and criticize them for their human right, poverty, racist, discrimination, etc. There are plenty of that in this America USA. People like negative and ignorant therefore they are easy targets for dirty and negative campaign attacked and fear monger ads. Americans are not ready to move forward and change. Can you turn the clock back and be your old image, absolutely no. But you vote for Clintons (Bush/Clinton/Bush) because thing was better under Bill years ago? It is 2008, thing won't be the same as 1990. Can we have the gas price as $2.00 something last year? No; the gas price now is almost $4.00 and will go up. So wake up American and see that China is taking over American's market, products and jobs. No one to blame but Americans.

Remember Hillary’s 1995 working class white comment: screw them: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/16/hillary-clinton-on-workin_n_97017.html

You got to give to her...out spend 3 to 1, out pledged by super delegates since Super Tuesday. She is taking it directly to the people, remember how Obama used to do in the beginning. But the issue is that we all are taking our eyes off the big one in NOV.

We have to unite now folks. On that note a suggestion, it’s not perfect. We know these facts...

Without the super delegates no one can get to the delegate count required. This shows they both are good candidates and there will be rumors and murmurs from the loosing side.
Hillary supporters are more likely to vote for McCain if she is not the candidate
Hillary is 60 and if she is out of this race a come back down the road is very difficult, while Obama is very young
Country is more or less in recession and we are fighting two wars and the gas prices are going up and up, please no on the job training at this moment.
It will be extremely hard for a person more liberal than Mr. Kerry, a war hero to win in Nov.
Let alone it’s hard for a black candidate to win, but with the baggage he is bringing with I am not sure the South is ready for him.

So my suggestion is to give the Hillary the nomination with Obama has her VP. Her term will be limited to ONE term and she gets to hand it over to Obama. Then Obama get to go for 2 terms with or without Hillary. As time passes he get to bury some of these baggage’s, get more experience and change the liberal label to a more moderate label.

So many people fooled by the Clintons.

The so-called job boom of the nineties... Bill and the Dems sold that out to NAFTA. Those jobs are NEVER coming back. The so-called boom was an internet bubble that burst like an overfed congressman.

You want change? Forget the congress and Senate going for term limits. WE have to vote for term limits. Then, we'll see some people get off their arses and get back to work.

The so-called health care plan.. it'll be a mandate, meaning either buy this plan, or pay a fine for not buying into it and still have no coverage. A mandated program of any kind that removes choice will end badly. Look at the Massachusetts model. Badly in debt already. And now they want to both get rid of tobacco altogether while paying for the plan with tobacco taxes.

@ Bilw...

So after the "Wright and San Francisco" fiascos, Obama was still able to cut Hillary's lead in PA in half -- that doesn't seem like a negative when you put it into perspective. PA is also the last state that's tailor-made to fit the demographics that help Hillary so much -- 60% of the voters were women and 70% were over 45.

Obama has fewer "close relationships" to "shady characters" than any other politician I know about (especially Hillary or McCain). It's too bad the media's spin tactics work so well on so many people -- otherwise Obama would have had this locked up long ago.

This country has so much to gain from an Obama Presidency...

Obama has closed the deal. He's ahead on delegates and the popular vote. Clinton can't catch up. Why do people keep asking why he can't close the deal?
She has a right to bang her head against the wall, the right to divide the Democratic party and she's doing it. She's running a mean and vacuous campaign. As for the South, President Johnson said he'd lost it for two generations. The time is up. It's time for the South to grow up.

He can't win right now because she is lying, sending Bill out to lie, playing unfairly, and changing her strategy from tears to gunshots, whatever it takes. BUT as one of our leaders once said,
"You can fool all of the people some of the time,
And some of the people all of the time,
BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME!"

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!! LEAD US!!!!!!!!!!!

Role Model for Children - Obama

A few days ago Obama gave the 'finger' to Hillary on national television and smugly laughed about it with his audience. Is this type of malicious immaturity what you want your children to learn: lack of tolerance, vengeance and the bully mentality? After that one event, besides the mindless and uneducated, how could anyone seriously consider this Obama for any office?

Also, Obama's state-senate candidacy was launched at Weather Underground bombers Ayers house in 1995. Ayers who advocates the violent destruction of America may have much more to do with promoting Obama than we know. The organization MoveOn has aggressively intimidated delegates to vote for Obama and to shun Hillary and is likely closely connected with Ayers. Ayers finally got his bomb - Obama.

Obama also rigged his election to become senator by unfairly disqualifying his opponents. He did this by meticulously finding fault with each of the other candidates signed petitions until each of the contenders had to drop out, Obama was the last one standing, there was no election. This was another finger gesture towards the American public by Obama.

If this isn't enough, look at Obama's affiliations:
Wright
Meeks
Ayers
Abongo "Roy" Obama
Rashid Khalidi
Robert Malley
Hamas
McPeaks
Rezko
Auchi

And the list goes on...

This may be the time of the Anti-Christ, but do you want to be on the list of people who voted for him?

i just want to say all the comments made about hillery getting this so called big win you people must be stupid because this so called big win was a small win you people need to wake up and learn that we dont need experiance we change but im almost shure you people dont get it thats why we are were we are to day bunch of nuts

Obama is so full of it. He needs to step down. He should of resigned after it was showed how he attends a hate American church for 20 plus years. This man will nevor be president of us.

Hey Baby, I'm old enough to be your mother and you're doing just fine with me.

In fact, I'm so grateful to you for coming along and giving us this choice. You bring a higher vibration to our public life. You've ignited so much inspiration and hope and commitment. You've demonstrated friendliness to your adversaries. You've demonstrated emotional maturity, naturalness, and brilliance.

What more could anyone ask from a political candidate. Besides, this campaign is taking so long that young people are getting old as we speak. So you'll have your own old people as the primary drags on.

O yes, there are plenty of seniors grateful to you. Partly, they like truthfulness and dignity and deep good values.

O yes, as for the Clintons, elder senior white woman here says this ...

Peter Paul and the video documentary evidence ...

and

You voted for this resolution to do it to Iran. Not enough that you voted to do it to Iraq. So you are dangerous. And we are not fooled.

Observations from a Canadian:

1) Obama outspending Clinton demonstrates more grassroots support, more donations, and better fiscal management. How come Hilary doesn't address WHY Barack has so much more money?

2) Seems like anyone that criticizes current US policy is un-American. Doesn't matter if they were born, raised, and educated there. THAT is a sad and hopeless state of affairs.

God help you all.

I AM A MIDDLE-AGED GRANDMOTHER LIVING IN FLA. WERE MY VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED, THANK GOD I VOTED FOR HILLARY AND REGRETED IT THE MINUTE I LEFT THE VOTING BOOTH. THE IDEA OF HAVING A WOMAN PRESIDENT WAS SO INVITING I COULDN'T RESIST. I HAVE VOTED IN EVERY ELECTION SINCE 1972 AND ALWAYS FOR A DEMOCRAT, BUT IF SHE IS THE NOMINEE I WILL NOT VOTE.

The pro-Hillary comments on this blog are long on words and short on substance and fact. They reflect the candidate. Obama can only be defeated by the divisive messages of the three "-isms": agism, racism and genderism. If these arguments are the foundation of the super-delegates choice, and the Democratic Party's campaign platform, the election is already lost, regardless of Hilary. Too many disgusted voters will just stay home.
I may be white, female, and over the age of 65, but I still do have some common sense. The only way to win against the Republican Noise Machine in November is not to play by their rules and by the old politics. We can only win through change. Obama stands for that positive change.

booo for clintin. go for it obama.

This man is amazing. Look at how far he has come, how much grass roots support and money he has raised, all that while facing down the Clinton and Republican machines. Its really breathtaking...and then throw in the race card perpetually being played in our society adding another element of fear mongering.

The big problem with "Hussein" Obama is that he really believes he is the answer to EVERYTHING. He positions himself as a "change" man?? Frankly, he has NO experience, NO track record, NO political existence of any significance before two years ago, his ties are too close to the mafia and to the middle East, but most importantely HE FEELS HE IS IT FAR SUPERIOR TO MORE THAN 90% OF THE U.S. CITIZENS.

"Hussein" Obama uses rhetoric to SNOW U.S. citizens who are too lazy to conduct their own research, which would let them know exactly who this "person" is that ultimately would expose his hidden agendas.

Obama is NO change person. If he were, he would have already taken a stand on political issues, have a voting record in congress, and would have already exposed his "change" format on how he would take the U.S. out of the recession it is currently experiencing. How do you think he has raised to much money for his presidential campaign???????? Loud and clear - mafia connections as well as middle east connections.

DROP OUT "Hussein" Obama and play checkers with your mafia buddies. The U.S. does not need a president like you -- EVERY AGENDA YOU HAVE PRESENTED IS A FALSE FRONT, YOU ARE PREJUDICE AGAINST WHITES, AND YOU ARE AN ELITIST WHO THINKS HE IS BETTER THAN 90% OF ALL U.S. CITIZENS.

DROP OUT

I can not vote for Obama who is only half-black, although he is counting on the black vote. I think he is a total liar. I wonder what his white mother thinks.

Leadership is about vision and the ability to inspire people to do great things. Of all the candidates, I see this trait most clearly in Senator Obama. As a great nation, we need to come together and inspire each other to be the best we can be. There are no super people at the top (i.e., the President), and whether the candidates admit it or not, none of them have a solution for all the problems we face in our nation and around the world. We have hunger, starvation, energy problems, political issues, environmental problems, etc. that will only get worse unless the global community works together for solutions. A true leader can engage us all as part of the solution.

I resent politicians promising what they know they can not or will not deliver. We often hear them talk about reducing the price of gasoline, but we have heard that before. I am a former U.S. Government Science Program leader (career spanning from President Nixon through the current Bush Administration), and I have seen the original renewable energy proposals first advanced by President Jimmy Carter brushed off and promoted by both the Clinton and Bush Administrations. I have seen excessively wasteful spending by both the Clinton and current Bush Administration on programs designed for political effect or giving the "impression" of trying to solve a real problem. Also, I witnessed both Administrations ignoring volumes of scientific information and good ideas whenever such information conflicted with their own ideas. When I saw the folks flanking Senator Clinton (and I respect them all) on the night of the Iowa Caucus, I suddendly got the impression of we have been there before.

Of the remaining candidates for President, only two stand out as truly new and diffirent, and they are Senator McCain and Senator Obama. If what we have done in the past is not working, why not go in a different direction with different people?

Respectfully,
Robert

Obama should do what is best for the party and drop out. He can not win the general election and this is foolish to hand the election to McCain but that is what will happen if the DNC is dumb enough to allow Obama as the nominee.

Hillary now leads among votes by all those that have voted in this primary season, including FL and MI she leads the popular vote by some 121,000 votes.

Obama proved that no matter how much money he spends he can not win even against Hillary with her high negatives and all media except fox helping him. Obama has no chance against McCain......and I do not want to hear Michelle whinning every time a 527 ad comes out against him.

Obama is a great man. The other two are old time criminals. In America, the gangsters always win.

This comment posted by "Karlene Bradley", post # 16, has been posted numerous times on other major paper's comment sections. Before dismissing it as quackery, REAL Democratic voters should take a moment to contemplate who could be behind such piss-poor, kitchen-sink style anti-Obama propaganda. "Time of the Anti-Christ"? Is it the Christian Coalition? Or a Hillary supporter? Or are they becoming one and the same?

Recall what Hillary said about Iran on Good Morning America Monday morning before Pennsylvania's vote. Her rhetoric was no different from the staunchest Neo-con: she would "obliterate" them, she ensured us. Is this the kind of meat-headed, war-mongering sentiment we want to perpetuate? How do such statements distinguish her from the Republican rival? Then again, I haven't even heard McCain so unequivocally taut such stupid, neo-con invective.

Hillary is war-crazy. Bill BROUGHT US NAFTA!!! WAKE UP, blue-collar voters whose jobs have been shipped overseas! This is the couple that, with the help of the Bushes of course, are directly responsible for your plight -- which of course, you're in no way "bitter" about!

By the way, though it's totally peripheral: Rev. Wright's comments, which you are free to view in their full-sermon context on YouTube (specifically the "God damn America" one) were really no different in sentiment and analysis from MLK's 1967 "Beyond Vietnam" speech, which, if you have the time, you may also listen to on YouTube. While Wright is vilified as an America-hater (sub-text: "nigger") even though he served AS A MARINE for the country he allegedly hates so much -- MLK is cherished as nothing more than a feel-good huggy-doll. Unfortunately for those who prefer the rose-colored image of the man, MLK made the same point Wright made in the aforementioned speech, arguing that the US military is the greatest exporter of violence around the world. I WISH someone other than Tavis Smiley (on Real Time with Bill Maher) would point this out more often.

The very fact she has the gall to ask this question is the reason Barak is unable to knock her out of the race. Less than six months ago she was the presumptive nominee. She had the formidable Clinton machine all geared up to smash any and all opposition. She with her years of experience all ready to lead on day 1 was acting smug. And yet, she is behind a one-term senator with nothing but hope. The legitimate question is why she has not wrapped it all up. In stead she is asking this stupid question why he has not closed it!

Obama is not only fighting the dirty tricks of the vast Clinton machine, he is having to fight the silly main stream media as well, not to mention deeply burried prejudice. If the Democratic party lets the Clintons steal this from Obama, they deserve to lose the general election for another 4 or 8 years of McCain. Unfortunately, it is not the perpetrtors of injustice who will have to suffer.

Somebody asked: "The results in Pennsylvania, which Mrs Clinton claimed to be an "overwhelming victory", showed 54.3% for Mrs Clinton to 45.7% for Mr Obama, with a little over 99% of returns counted."

I'm not very good with math, but does that seem like a double digit win to you?"

First of all, I am assuming there is a typo in this question. According to the NY Times election results, it was 54.7 for Senator Clinton versus 45.3 for Senator Obama.

That is only .3% (3 tenths of a percent) shy of 10%. That's close enough to being a 10% (double digit) margin for me especially considering the Obama campaign outspent the Clinton campaign something like 3:1 in PA.

A Simple Convient Truth,
It is ovbious that come November their will only be one democratic canidate, and their name will be McCain, as who would vote for for a black man or a woman. and never mind that he is really a repubican, he is the closest electable democrat the democratic party has.

Who wants America to belong to her citizens and not the special interests of corperations?
Look how well our american corp's take care of americans: Some examples
- our medical system is infected from every direction Insurer's that deny; Hospitals that spend 25% on Admin's. And we want our Government to slap on a bandaid?
-Pittsburg go to work in your steel mills, ....
-Oregon take a deep breath and enjoy your air today for tommorrow you will be breathing China's air. The auto corps sold 1980 air cleaning technology for all the cars built in China today. I guess 1990's tech was classified secret.

Well it is true Americans wont get up and fix their social and polical problems till it is really broken. Go back to watching reality on your TV and buy what you see drugs, pizza and all.
And vote Democratic come November. Lord knows the Repubicans will...

Senator Obama did not respond well to the "bitter" comment distortion from the media and Hillary 's campaign. Defending a sentimental,emotionally hurtful misconstrued statement is not usually the best policy of connecting voters. I think he should have simply apologized, take responsibility and just move on. I believe he still needs to do that preparing for November election to avoid being hurt badly.
Hillary is simply playing a loser's game. I don't believe she is a fighter as the media try to sing. She is simply a trouble maker, changing the rules, manipulating the voters, threatening the Party leadership and willing to do and say anything to win the nomination. You know how people behave when they want to have their way at all cost. There is no principle or forthrightness in her game. It is absolutely surprising that many Americans simply cannot see through her yet. I guess race and gender are powerful blind folders.
For all that Senator Obama has done or accomplished so far in this election, he should by now have won the nomination if he were white. This guy is simply amazing and fantastic. His personal life , campaign management, motivational skills, leadership excellence, funds management, his character under pressure and many more are just excellent and flawless. So they have to dig out things connected to a third party like Rev Wright and others to try to redefine him and stop his movement. Again I say if he was a white person by now there would be no contest, the media would have recognized such an amazing contribution to the American political drama and the young new voices of change in America would by now be ringing louder with the superdelegates singing along.
But I guess this experience is good for Obama so he can face the reality of racial disease in American lives. He has been kind of aloof to the real pains and wounds in the older black generation and has always suggested a better way to go. He is about to realize that in America it doesn't matter how personally good you are as a black man you can only go as far as some white folks want you to. It is convenient for the Clintons to join forces with the Republicans , the powerful racial media block like Sean Hannity of Fox news and many others to play up the racial elements to brutalize Obama. That is exactly what happened in Pennsylvania. Clintons are only a convenient tool in the hands of certain Republicans right now. When they are done with Obama they will tear her to shreds.
The black constituency will soon wake up from their dream that the Democratic party is the party of freedom when the superdelegates turn over the nomination to Hillary Clinton at the expense of Obama's exellent performance according to the rules on the excuse of electibility bla-bla-bla. It is all about recognizing Obama 's limitation in the general election because of the racial undertone. I will soon be proved right.

Why are the Obama Backers so negative? They scare me. They are down right vicious people.

If he wants to do better with older voters, tell him to keep his hands off our money. You know....that stuff we worked long and hard for so that we would not be a burden on our kids and the taxpayers.
And one more thing...let our kids inherit ALL our hard earned money....EVERY PENNY....get rid of the welfare programs...that's how he can build revenue.
One more thing....WIN THIS WAR....

Who are Obama people voting for; the man or the myth? Very little of the man has come through and what has is particularly troublesome. I blame the MSM who thinks the office of the presidency is another affirmative action plan. If one examines the facts, Obama's judgment at the least and his political view at best are more than questionable. Rezko, Wright, Farrakhan, Ayers and Dorhn are Marxists - in the case of Ayers and Dorhn they are unrepentant Marxist terrorists. What can you expect the cabinet to look like with Obama as CEO? The Rezko affair is not over, much more is to be revealed, and the Republicans have not yet had their turn at bat. Obama does not give answers that make sense, what he sells is Speech 101. Neither of the Democrat candidates are credible; I'm voting for McCain - he has both the experience and the integrity this country needs and he won't turn it over to terrorists who but for the war in Iraq would be at our doorsteps.
