Read below this ambitious jr Senator didn;t get elected to any office until 1996. Ha So after tweleve years of political experience we should elect him Prsident. Are you out of your mind?


Obama married Michelle Robinson, a fellow Harvard Law School graduate whom he had met in Chicago, on Oct. 18, 1992. The Obamas have two daughters, Malia, born in 1999, and Natasha, known as Sasha, born in 2001. Four years after they married, Obama won a seat in the Illinois state legislature, sponsoring legislation on the death penalty and racial profiling. (Photo: Family Photo)

I am tired as well of the media letting the emty suits say things like I am for change. What useless garbage. I don''t think there has been one critque about the pros and cons of NAFTA the economics of it. Health care debate. In depth ccoverage of exactley what the Rezko Obama connections. Why does Obama return money is dribs and drabs. How about a picture of the land that Obama brought from Rezko. How about questions about Obama''s cabiniet? Where would he get the names from Who would be his advisors. Well forget that one anyway because they would be no names from Ill. local Politics.

enough Clinton bashing!

anyone who says that Hillary Clinton - through the assistance of her advisors, including Bill Clinton - won''t know how to manage this economy and to help lift us up, out and over this madness is more than short sighted.

Ask the farmers in upstate NY what she has done for them in the last 7 years and why, after much skepticism, they re-elected her by a 70% majority!

Hillary may not be as eloquent a speaker as Obama, but she is a known fighter for women, children, and the low and middle classes...with proven, positive results.

This is what is lacking in Obama resume.

I''m not sure, but I think Hillary changed her Healthcare plan AGAIN! Now it''s saying she''s only going to repeal the Employer Tax Exclusion for Health Care for those making over $250k a year. So how is this plan going to pay for itself? I think she''s backed off holding corporations responsible . . .

What I''d like to know is how much of a tax credit her plan will give to a family of 4 making say $50k a year. Because the average premium for a family that size is $4,424 (2004, AHIP). She doesn''t say she''s going to pay for it, she just says if the cost rises over a certain portion of a family''s income, she''ll offer tax credits.

That''s the paradox - those who need the coverage the most might actually end up shouldering the greatest burden even when those from higher income brackets are also forced to shoulder part of the burden. Because they have less disposible income to start with, and when it''s mandatory they''re not going to be able to opt out.
