You know, it just occured to me, that Barack Obama seems like the only grownup running. All of the other candidates, past and present, seem kind of childish.

For all of you Hillary supporters who say Obama has no accomplishments to tout, what has she done?

She failed to get her health care bill passed when she was in the White House before. I guess you could use the excuse that it was because there was a Republican congress at that time, but if you use that excuse you can''t boast about the balanced budget during that time without giving the GOP their due for the part they played.

Of course it''s easier to balance the budget when you''re not involved in a costly, unwarranted war. A war that my candidate knew was a bad idea from day one.

My candidate has gotten legislation passed to curb lobbyist influence in DC. My candidate has inspired young voters, like myself, to come out in record numbers and get involved in government. My candidate has the best chance to defeat the GOP in November, because there are several voters like me that will vote GOP over Clinton, just so we won''t have another Clinton or Bush in the White House. It''s hard to be an agent of change, as Clinton claims to be, when you are one of the main polarizing forces people are seeking a change from.

PS: Vote Obama!

to the best of my knowledge he was not James Madison was but he was a brilliant man and the chief author of the declaration of independence.

I believe Hillary has one basic objective to get and stay in power. If we are concerned about the lack of consensus politics, she isn''t the one. she is detested by many and just plain disliked by others. She has no moral standards. she is machiavellian in the worst sense.

Running this country isn''t a contest of one-liners. Bush proved that. You want a comedian or a wit in Washington, look up Seinfield . That''s why these debates are useless. The day after , columnists revel in all the little jibes and declare the one with the best retort, the winner. What winner ? They make this a contest , much like a sport. Obama''s problem is he has no past and no accomplishments. Clinton''s is that she has too much past, no accomplishments , and too many dodges . From the days of the Rose law firm , to her tap dancing during the vote on the war in May, 2007 , she proves she will say and do anything to get Willie back in power. No sense them getting down to the issues, they won''t make good on any of their promises anyway.

Get your heads out of your b*tts & look @ her record of corrupton & deceit. Her tolerance for her philandering husband is unacceptable. She is just using him to get back in the WH so that they both can continue with the stuff that they have pulled for so long.

If you are just supporting Hillary because you are women you are the worst kind of racist. At least as bad as any good ol southern boy who would only vote for a white male.

I want to see the best candidate win the WH regardless of ***, race or religion. I don''t have a problem with a woman in the WH - but draw the line @ putting Hillary in there. She somehow thinks that she has a god-given right to the office based on her past experience. Her past experience is exactly why she should not be elected. I honestly hope she does win the nomination - then the Repubs could run Mickey Mouse & win the national election so you just keep pushing for your self serving ***.

Is the worst that you can find about Obama is his past representation of Rezko? Review your candidates history carefully & quite looking so stupid.

BTW - I think her history with WallyWorld is important since it is part of her "35 years of experience". I have a WallyWorld just a few miles from my home & will drive by it everytime to shop @ other stores who support our community is so many ways that WW does not.

Thomas Jefferson was a governor for just 2 years.

If you want Huckabee to get his far share of news time let your voices be heard. We need to bombard the networks with emails.

Internet is a good place to share information and meet friends. I recently found a nice web site called pubspa.com where you can meet friends who have same interest in beauty care, massage, wellness and spa treatment. You can also share blog, video, game, photos, etc with people from all over the world. Unlike other online dating sites where you have to pay membership fee, this site is totally free. I already made several interesting friends there.

Why does experience really matter?
Kennedy had very little experience...Thomas Jefferson was a governor for just 2 years...but Nixon was certainly one of the most experienced (and one of the worst) presidents and so too was George HW Bush (Bush 41). Bush 43 was governor for 8 years...so much for executive experience.

Obama has great leadership qualities, education, intelligence, judgment and vision which serves as a solid basis to be a great president.

Give change a chance...Obama in 08
