Well, I certainly don''t want Obama in the White House, but I would vote for Cynthia McKinney, the fearless Democrat...she''s black and a woman...the perfect compromise for race and pudenda-obsessed Democrats. Unlike her cowardly compatriots in the Democratic wing of the Demopublican Party, she took Donald Rumsfeld to task for the $2.3 trillion dollars he himself admitted were missing from Pentagon accounts on September 10, 2001. It was Representative McKinney of Georgia who took him to task in committee hearing over the white slavery of Dyncorps and questioned Rumsfeld as to why this criminal organization was still getting government contracts.

Ms. McKinney is the entire package--she has character, intelligence, perseverance and she is more than enough familiar with the kind of back-stabbing treachery that the scum-sucking dogs of the Democratic leadership are able to mete out to those who don''t toe the Demopublican line of the likes of Mssrs. Reid and Liebermann.

While I disagree with Ms. McKinney on many points...she has what this country needs...integrity and backbone. And, as like the title of a biography of an anti-fascist Italian leader in America who was eventually murdered by thugs, she has ALL THE RIGHT ENEMIES--the AIPAC spies and Israel-firsters spared no expense in driving her out of Congress...NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE!! THREE CHEERS FOR CYNTHIA MCKINNEY...THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

Steve Croft started his interview referring to "Senator Obama" and " Hillary Clinton." I expect sexism from the "good old boys" but not from a national commentator on a network news program.

It seems to me, and I''m most certainly wrong, that the gop would rather run against Hillary than Obama. She''s got a longer record to attack, and is more polarizing that Obama. I also think that the allure for Obama is the word change. What? Who knows. How? Same answer. I don''t think people want the answer to either question. They just want something different. Anything. They''re sick of war, recession, the separation of classes etc. Can Obama change anything? If he can will anything be better? We as Americans Have a very difficult decision coming up shortly. Right now it is three card monty, it will soon be a rock and a hard place.

why are people voting for Ombama? We don''t know him. He is a ***, charmy guy who reads his speeches that somebody else writes. Last night''s 60 minutes, he didn''t even elaborate on his issues. Instead he refers us to his well tailored website. He makes backhanded comments about Hillary''s operating inside the status quo but said nothing convincing about why he''ll make a great president. He will not be accountable. Why? Maybe because if he asks a like GOD long, he will never to be accountable. And leadership requires accountability. What has he been responsible for? A couple of years in the Senate and has him be qualified to run this country? By the way, it was Hillary who got him into the Senate. A real leader, championing for future leaders (and then he publicly backhands her by saying "your likable enough"

His speaking is very careful to avoid being accountable for anything. This is serious folks -- Ombama camp -- you don''t know the guy. None of do. He mantras "hope, change, yes we can" but hope what? change what? yes we can, but why?

His biggest strength is that he is creating and inspires "the ideal" in your heads. That''s it. Poof! I''m God and I will lead you to CHANGE.

Notice that the republicans are most threatened by Hillary for a reason folks.

You can''t help the blind and the needy if you don''t walk with them! I don''t really mean to sound unfair. Sometimes the truth does sound unfair. Especially to those who need so deeply to believe in something that sounds like a dream come true. If it sounds to good to be true. It''s not true. Sorry. Truth is harder than fantasy. Obama is not truth. Truth takes yrs of hard work to achieve. Hillary has done the yrs of hard work. Obama wants a short cut through the blind trust of blind followers of a dream. It takes more than talking the talk. One must be able to walk the walk. Hillarys record shows she walks the walk. Obama does not. The blind must be helped to see. Don''t be mean to yourselves. We have the GOP for that. And there quite good at it.

We know by the charisma who said this!

It is also in my view false to say that life in AMERICA today is solely determined by considerations of foreign policy, that the primacy of foreign policy governs today the whole of our domestic life. Certainly people can reach the point when foreign relations influence and determine completely its domestic life. But let no one say that such a CONDITION is from the first either natural or desirable. Rather the important thing is that people should CREATE the conditions for CHANGE in this state of affairs.

To all of you fine blind people looking through those binoculars that Mr. Obama sold you. I do believe that it''s time for you to focus on yourselves. You seem to have a need. And you seem to think that listing to a silver tongued dream weaver will fill that need. Wake up! Obamas not selling reality! He''s selling you what you want to hear! You should be angry at him for trying to exploit you! You trust un him who prays on your needs! Listen. Some of these other comments are correct... The GOP has never said they wanted to face anyone they really wanted to face. Why would they? they arn''t like Obama! They DON''T play KUMBIYA! Don''t talk mean to me! Thay don''t! They just want enexperienced first time voters that don''t know better to believe they will. The GOP will tear Obama a new...you now what! They will pull out all the stops! Obama won''t be fighting McCain,he will be fighting the GOP! That''s different! It will take a Clinton to stand up to them. It was a Clinton that won for the democrats foe the first time 12yrs and we will need them again! Hillary Clinton will get the peoples work dome! We don''t need a Lame Duck like Obama! KUMBIYA!
