Comments on: Obama Presidency Would Be A Step Backward

National Review Online: Candidate's Dangerous Policies Are Straight Out Of 1930s And 1960s

After the bush nazies distroyed this country, there is only one direction to go........and that is UP.

[tucano2]

A blind random draw of a name of any American citizen would produce a far better President than any of the 3 front runners.

Anyone who lived through the Billary years should know that the Democraps never do anything for the average person. I am not a Rep. or Dem., but based on they''re perfomances in my 43yrs. the Republicans get MY VOTE! Look at HISTORY and make the right choice- McCain in 08!!!!

"The standard is George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. "

The standard is George W. Bush / John McCain.

And the last time an inexperienced junior Senator from Illinois was elected to help unify a divided nation? Abraham Lincoln was his name. He did okay, despite limited experience.

bluestardad, I am with you friend. When the neocons start with the hatchet jobs it means we should go the other way. Obama or Hillary you got my vote and my promise to round up as many votes as I can so we can win and hopefully fun these neocons to Canada (although it is doubtful that Canada or any other civilized country would want their kind).

Article: "There is no reason why someone as arrogant, foolishly clever, and ultimately dangerous as Barack Obama should become president - especially not at a time when the threat of international terrorists with nuclear weapons looms over 300 million Americans. "

Don''t tell me: Our first evidence of these nukes will come in the form of a looming mushroom cloud over one our cities. Ya know, I think that scare tactic has already been tried. Of course, that was before we killed 300,000 innocent Middle Easterners in revenge of 9-11. Now, we really DO have to worry about them lobbying nukes at us, thanks to King George.

How does someone get ''foolishly clever'' anyway? Clever used to mean the opposite of foolish, before the neocons started changing the language. Does that mean that GW is stupidly intelligent? Is that what we want in our leaders?

Why would, why does anyone listen to this rag or this writer?! Based on the mess this president has made and that he''s leaving for someone else to try and clean up, and based on the rhetoric spewed by the nasty, lying hillary, Obama is a breath of fresh air, a person who actually "thinks", a person who actually wants to work with and listen to other points of view, a person who reaches out. Oh no, let''s just continue on the self destructive path we''ve been on for 8 years, let''s "obliterate" other countries (per hillary), this whole rhetoric is stupid, wake up people!!!! OBAMA ''08!!! HOPE!

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID. Obama / Webb 2008.

[JJASMAN]

AFTER BUSH ANYONE AND ANYTHING WOULD BE BETTER..

[lvdragonlady-2009]

Onca again CBS has chose to take side and NOT be inpartial. How are they to say what is right or wrong or who should be president or shouldn''t be president. Your job is to report the news, nothing more nothing less and like ABC you have failed to do your job.
Ha another news station bites the dust.....

With respect to Senator Obama''s comments about Reverend Wright on April 29, 2008: What? Has Senator Obama been in a coma for 20 years? Did he sleep through the sermons? Was he even there? His hangdog story today that he JUST figured out what Reverend Wright is about insults everybody''s intelligence. If he is that dense, why on Earth would anybody want to vote for him?

It is not a question of race. It is just that Senator Obama has such a thin resume so far. He shows great promise, but he has not learned enough yet to be President. The standard of comparison is not George Bush. The standard is George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Senator Obama is just too young and inexperienced for the job. Senator Clinton will go down in history as what America needed in 2008. Maybe Senator Obama will be what we need in 2016, and maybe not.

"..the official scorer called it a hit, making it Waner%u2019s 3,000th. Paul Waner then sent word to the official scorer.." proves only one thing: Waner was no John McEnroe! Or Vince Lombardi.

The phrases I found most telling were: "...elections as occasions for venting emotions, like cheering for your favorite team or choosing a homecoming queen." And, ".. discovering how many times people were preoccupied with trivialities when they were teetering on the edge of doom." Sounds like Obama''s "bitter" insights, with our clinging to such trivialities, including guns and "black" religious cult leaders'' sermons when our American Dream is turning into a Nightmare! Very, very interesting, coming from the Premier site for "conservative" views.

[down-ndirty]

A step backward??

Where have you been for the past seven years? Clinton left office with a surplus, a decent economy, and a 4.0% unemployment rate.

Withouth even mentioning our current "status" in the world, how many steps has the Bush regime taken our nation backward?

[tonyd_31]

Glenncinca, if you note when I wrote the year, I put in parenthesis (if he was coherent). I have not lost a year, I was checking to see if the idiot writer knew the year. If you would like to indulge in serious conversation, then sir, tell me if you are able, do you actually believe that this administration has put us forward? If your answer is in the affirmative then without a doubt, you are not just out of touch, you are a full-fledged ***. You know what? Anybody still willing to vote Republican after these tragic 8 years, then this country is getting what it deserves. You brainwashed morons really amaze me!

[bluestardad]

OBAMA IS NOT BOUGHT BY THE ISRAELIS AND NOW THE NRO IS AFTER HIM!

HE HAS MY VOTE!

[fairandbal]

Reading this makes me want to puke up my breakfast.

McCain''s neocon policies on Iraq and Iran are flat out of the 1940''s (Nazi Germany) and the NRO is OK WITH THAT?!

[tbweb]

Say Hello to President John McCain! The one two punch of an extended negative Clinton campaign combined with Rev. Wright''s negatives sank Sen. Obama, I don''t see him recovering and I see 42% of Clinton supporters defecting to Sen. McCain. Stick a fork in Sen. Obama, he''s done!

[sandysguy]

What would you want more aaa woman who is a pathological liar that is telling lie after lie after lie and believing them herself or a man that all he touts is his war record and says staying in Iraq for 100 years or a young man who has a very humble heart and great ideas for change and the future and enough moxy to see it through.

I think the person that wrote this article needs to crawl back in the hole he crawled out of and wake up to reality....He is an IDIOT FIRST CLASS

[can06dy]

My comments are to the Wright or Wrong issue - If Rev. Wright is a man of God, you really have to question that because God would not hurt another person. That is what Wright is intentionally doing over and over to Obama. You have to wonder if Wright is not getting paid by someone to put his OPINION out to the public. Obama has denounced Wright because of his meaningless statements made to hurt the heart of America itself. Obama is a man striving to help this country make a change for the better and We the People just have to look towards that.

[cyberus-2009]

I dunno ... maybe taking a step back is what we need here.
