''We really don''t believe he was born in Hawaii,'' Berg said. ''We think
he was born in Kenya.'' The presidential candidate''s father, Barack
Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, according
to Obama''s campaign Web site.

It doesn''t freaking matter WHERE he was born so long as his mother was a U.S. citizen.

BTW, conspiracy theorists, Hawaii HAS verified his birth certificate!

I can tell you who the real Barack Obama is, hence why I''''m voting for McCain/Palin. It''''s the people who are voting for Obama who don''''t know who he is. These people are voting on hope instead of valid proof and accountability. It''''s like investing in an unknown small and new company, compared to a solid company that has a good record. Makes no sense to me.

No--we DO know who he is--because we have taken the time to do our ''due diligence'' (research). Your ''solid company'' has a horrible record, NOT a ''good one.''

Educate yourself before you make your judgements, please.

Who is the Real Sarah Palin?

She''s corrupt.

She''s dumb.

And she''s a dangerous rabble rouser.

She does not have the moral authority to point fingers at her opponent.

GAME OVER

Don''t compare Obama to God, if anything.. compare him to the anti-christ.

How stupid. If you can read you can answer this question. If you have eyes and ears or a reasonable facsimile of that you can learn the answer with a little attention.

Barack Obama is literally the most easily known person who I''ve lived to witness run for office. It was easier to find his life, education, and political record than it was for any other candidate I''ve ever researched*. It took me longer to research Joe Biden and he was my original choice during the primaries. There is nothing in Barack Obama''s life now that has not been researched, scrutinized, documented, and made clear. And frankly all you have to do is watch him with his family and you know all you need to about his basic character. His political record is painfully straightforward. His balanced negotiation style is similar to my own and so I feel he is like me in being logical and deliberative instead of confrontational and combative. Get used to it. We might just be lucky enough and wise enough to elect a truly qualified leader of the free world this time. I think Barack Obama is almost as well qualified as Bill Clinton and in many ways - although I very much admire and appreciate Bill and Hillary Clinton''s time of governance - I think Barack Obama is better suited to deal with the current crisis then any of the candidates we''ve chosen from on either party roster.

I''m who I''m said the Lord, and so alike is OBAMA. He''s a fellow who knows well what is actually good for AMERICA. I think it''s a great chance to pick someone like him as our next president.

I am 60+ yrs old & this is the scariest election that I can remember since I was old enough to vote. I STILL don''t know who my choice is as I don''t care for either candidate & cannot even decide on which candidate is the lesser of 2 evils.
Lots of people that we have spoken with feel the same way. The internet also is full of people with doubts.
These are scary times & the choices are scary also. We are now getting inundated with ads from Obama since he bought a satellite station. Almost every 15 minutes there is an ad.....makes one feel like mind control is taking place.

This is also the most stressful election that I can remember. If I survive it all, I may not even vote in the end or I may go into the polling place still not decided & have to toss a coin. I just don''t understand why I can''t make up my mind in this case.

It would have been so much easier (for me) if Colin Powell had run &/or Clinton had made the ticket.

The only one I like out of all of them is Biden - but - he is the VP choice & even he has been kept under wraps with his speeches. I would like for him to let loose & be his old self. Now that would be something to watch.

*sigh* - such difficult choices
