There''s a guy on headline news that is ga-ga over Obama. He can''t even sit still when he mentions his name.

I have yet to see any media ask any hard questions of Obama and if they do they just let him dodge without challenge. He just dodges, flashes a smile and all is well. More doting. Constant doting. It''s all about the doting. Now they''ll try to fake objectivity but bottom line they adore him. He''s everything.

SharnCedar, I agree with your assessment of Barack being 100% likely to have voted to go to Iraq. I also agree with your assessment that I fell for it and I got suckered.

I think so many of us were because we just really couldn''t stand to see the domineering and controlling power-hungry sham-marriage Clintons running amok in the White House with Bubba and Gina Gershon making a fool of the President right under her nose.

If I had the choice to vote again in the Primaries, I''d probably choose Bill Richardson or Chris Dodd. They SEEM like nice family guys with experience, but who knows . . . although I''m starting to think low key people are may be a sign of solidity rather than ''boringness'' the way Al Gore got pegged. I don''t know . . .

"But, these attacks will only prove that McSame is devoid of any ideas as to how to clean up the mess left by the Bush/Cheney Administration. Obama 08!!! "

Ok, so tell me this - what are Obama''s ideas? I know he said that we need new faces in Washington, that we need to clean up the lobbyists, and the government should be for the people, not for the few. I know this, because EVERY POLITICIAN WHO HAS EVER RUN FOR ANY OFFICE EVER has said these exact same things.

But what are his ideas? What proposals? What specifics? What is his voting record, other than 1000 "present" votes and a flip-flop on telecom spying? He never voted on Iraq, so we didn''t get to see his flip-flop there, I am certain, from his actions so far, he would have voted 100% with Hillary and the other war-mongrs on that issue, since he ALWAYS VOTES EITHER "PRESENT" OR WITH THE PERCEIVED POLITCALLY SHREWD POSITION.

His ideas don''t extend much further than the usual rhetoric and scheming for power. A huge nothing, a moal zero with nothing but a deep voice and platitudes. Sorry you fell for it, sucker.

This is why McSame is becoming such a pathetic figure. Obama will beat him into the ground come November. And, McSame knows there isn''t anything he can do to stop it. McSame''s attacks will become even more negative as the election approaches. But, these attacks will only prove that McSame is devoid of any ideas as to how to clean up the mess left by the Bush/Cheney Administration. Obama 08!!!

YOU CAN SEE THE RIGHT WING KOOL AID DRINKING NEOCONS DISLIKE OBAMA!

EVERYONE OF THE AIPAC MEMBERS AND THE SEND OTHER PEOPLES CHILDREN TO DEFEND ISRAEL AN THE OIL COMPANIES FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEAR CROWD ARE USING EVERYTHING IN THEIR ARSENAL TO DISCREDIT OBAMA.

THEY CANT BUY HIM!

THEY CANT BLACKMAIL HIM!

THEY WANTED TO TAKE HIM OUT ON THIS TRIP!

THEY KNOW HE IS GETTING AMERICA OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST WHERE AMERICA HAS BEEN BOGGED DOWN FOR THE PAST 65 YEARS!

IF THAT ANGERS THE RIGHT WING CHRISTIAN NUT JOBS AND THEIR BRAIN WASHED NEOCONS OR THE DUEL PASSPORT HOLDING AMERICAN ISRAELIS LIKE JOE LIEBERMAN THEN SO BE IT!

IT IS TIME AMERICA DID WHAT WAS IN ITS OWN BEST INTEREST!

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT AMERICA NEEDS!

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT IS A THREAT TO AMERICA!

THE ONLY REASON MIDDLE EAST ARTICLES ARE KEPT IN THE AMERICAN MEDIA IS BECAUSE AIPAC MEMBERS RUN THE AMERICAN MEDIA AND FILM INDUSTRY!

AMERICA STAND UP OR SHUT UP!

TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY!

This article was the most refreshing one I''ve read since the beginning of this very long campaign. The 90% of the MSM that have been ''in the tank'' and acting truly hypnotized-mesmerized by B.O. have been frighteningly reminiscent of fascists rises of past foreign regimes. Katie Couric''s recent interview with Obama was finally good journalism. She would not let him get away with his near irrational statements about his stands on the surge and his more than self-contradictory statements coupled with his obvious annoyance with her perseverence was hopeful telling of the real emptiness of this fairy tale figure. He is an arrogant, deceitful Marxist who would rather trade the best of American values for the cesspool that Europe is becoming. Somebody, outside of FOX news is finally starting to catch on. Keep up this kind of open and honest journalism and let the truth shine free!! Open your eyes America!!!

If you think Obama and his staff are arrogant and controlling as a candidate, how do you think he will be if he gets into the White House?

It will be like the imperial presidency of Richard Nixon. Obama is part of the cut throat Daley machine politics of Chicago - the 21st century version of Tammany Hall in New York. He smiles a lot and gives pretty speeches - but his organization is cold and ruthless.
