Comments on: Open Letter To Obama

The Nation: There Have Been Troubling Signs That You Are Moving Away From Core Commitments

I cannot seem to get my comments to be excepted

mt-GUY, the problem with your opinion is the fact that you think America is not the greatest country on earth, you need to go anywhere else in the world and regain your perspective. It is a tired false mantra of the left that couldn''t be further from the truth.

"A response to the current economic crisis that reduces the gap between the rich and the rest of us through a more progressive financial and welfare system;"

So Phil Donahue, Gore Vidal, Tom Hayden and the rest of these nuts are all broke? Please. How patronizing. Millionaires who pose as just "one of us" are almost as bad as a politician...like Obama...

"restoration of the freedom to organize unions; and meaningful government enforcement of labor laws and regulation of industry."

Um...hello, wingnuts. The labor laws HAVE been enforced and that''s why the unions haven''t been able to further pollute our country.

I do find it amusing that the far-left wackos, mostly aging hippies and ''intellectuals'', have to pen an open and public missive basically begging Hussein Obama to not forget about them. Wake up, hippies. That''s what politicians do, especially elitist, racist ones like the nitwit you support. He got what he wanted. Now he''s done with you. Did you really think he would embrace and then espouse your crazy views of the world past the primary? Why, you''re all as naive as...Obama...

To me, Senator McCain does not represent progress but rather a firm grip on the past... the past that isn''t working so well currently.

Senator Obama represents going back to a system of government that involves dialogue and compromise between the two major parties. He cannot stand immobile in his policies if he expects to get anything done.

I disagree with the FISA vote, his universal healthcare plan doesn''t go far enough, and hinting that he might vote for a comprehensive energy plan that includes openion up offshore drilling is looking backwards, as McCain does by holding on to the use of fossil fuels, instead of the hard, sometimes nasty corrective course we, as a country so desperately need.

So I''m not going to throw the baby out with the bath water. Even given my disagreements with some of his positions, Barack Obama represents our chance to recover ourselves as a great nation once again.

Obama sounds more like Bush and McCain every day.

good folks don''t vote for mcclone. he offers more war, more recession, more or the same mcbush.

To say that a vote for McCain is a vote for Bush is moronic. Perhaps your new to politics, I am not. I have watched McCain fight with Bush for eight years now. I know for a fact the men are fundamentally different. Even if your idiotic statement were true four more years of Bush would be a lot better than four years of Obama.

Obama stance to get the nomination has now changed in order to win the general election, in other words he will say anything to get elected.

Obscamma''s already sold out! He was bought and sold the day he put his foot in the political arena...it was his goal to be so.

Note the Ego-encrusted new airplane, note the hiring of rock bands to draw people to his stumps for the appearance of thousand of adoring syncophants that didn''t even come to see him, note his willingness to corrupt himself with a new mansion in Hyde Park, note the corruptness of his earmark paybacks and payouts, note the votes on legislation he was paid for when his lying words screeched a totally different message...

This man is nothing more or less than a political HACK hell bent on the destruction of the country he hates, and his attempts to fool you, buy you, pimp himself, and lie and scam is almost beyond belief.

For those who want to waste their vote on a third party - your vote won''t mean squat- it will only mean you don''t have the guts to make a decision on someone who can make a differance in the right direction.

For those who are supporting Obama, the wrong candidate, these people don''t seem to realize that Obama is making empty promises and is focusing on the wrong direction. He got chosen in the Primary for being a Liberal, now he is pretending to be someone else- If you are following him around like a sheep you are behaving as foolish as a cult follower- He will drop like a stone, because he is choosing to destroy this country with his lack of knowledge about issues and that will be painful for you. Wake up now. If you disagree with me, show some respect and avoid the name calling- that only shows you don''t know what you are talking about. Thanks.
