joe1022joe, try as you may, Obama''''s family, its religion and his childhood schooling will not be made an issue. There are real issues of concern, i.e. appointment of Federal judges, repair of infrastructure, energy supplies, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, military and intelligence incompetence, government incompetence and corruption etc, etc ad nauseum. Only simpletons will be concerned with the subjects you raise.

Simpletons??? The single most important issue in the campaign is who the candidates are. Barak Hussein Obama is at heart non-American. Apparently born on our soil, he has little connection to who Americans are. I know of and don''t believe a man with half of his family born and living in Africa (and Moslems in the bargain) would be granted a security clearance. Obama would be a high security risk. In his capacity as a US Senator he would ordinarily be granted access to very sensitive information. In all likelihood he is not given access to that information now because he is such a high security risk.

Again, community and faith-based organization were created so that people could have confidence that their money was actually getting to those who were needy instead of people having to meet some absurd selection criteria promulgated by the federal government regulations in attempts to control!

Obama wants to put a $ into these organizations so he can promulgate the regulations and control! That''s all this BS is about!

Never ever let Obama OR any other fed near these organizations!

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE
Mr. Obama is %u201Chead%u201D of his campaign, he is in charge and since he doesn%u2019t look favorable in the American public%u2019s eyes as a patriot, someone that you can %u201Ctrust%u201D if the country goes to war, Mr. Obama has set his jackals on John McCain. Now retired Gen. Wes Clark smears John McCain%u2019s war record with the statement of he was %u201Criding%u201D in a fighter plane that got shot down are not qualifications for being president. Well first of all John McCain was not %u201Criding%u201D in a fighter plane he was the pilot and he was flying over seriously defended enemy territory when his plane was shot down by a missile. He was willing to give his %u201Clife%u201D for America that in itself gives him 10 points above and beyond Mr. Obama%u2019s marks. To belittle our respect for any veteran especially during the 4th of July week is repulsive and disgusting.
Being the President of the US is all about character and its time the American people let OBAMA know!

[xlib]

Change of mind for the empty suit I see. Also heard he''s taken to wearing that nasty, patriotic flag lapel pin again. Ah yes, he sure is a "different" politican, fresh, new, full of blah, blah, blah. Looks like the same old cr*p to me and any other thinking American. Pander, pander, pander.

[watcher269-2009]

Who Cares - JUST Please STOP the Exxon-Mobil Propaganda Bushit on this Website - its insulting to U.S.

[jack3213]

Obama doesn''t love his country. He''s in love with an idea of what he wants to change the country into, which is pretty much another Eurozone.

But he doesn''t love his country for what it is, or its history.

He just wants to change it into something else. Something two parts Europe and one part Chicago politics, with no room for religion, self-reliance, or self-defense.

[crater7]

Obama proposes to elevate the program to a "moral center" of his;

OF COURSE HE DOSE.

PEOPLE LIKE THE REV. WRIGHT, PFLEGER, AND ALL THE RACIST CHURCHES CAN TEACH THEIR RACIST, ANTI WHITE, ANTI JEWISH, ANTI AMERICAN RANTS TO INNOCENT CHILDREN, BY THESE SO CALLED "FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS."

HMMMMMMMMMM

GOD "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA.

[cozzicon]

"Gosh, using your logic, poor people don''''t contribute to the government either, so why do they receive so much of the largesse?

These institutions are better, and more efficient, than the government EVER could hope to be...plus they have the compassion that is necessary....

I think, truthfully, we should do away with all government forms of public assistance and rely solely on faith-based groups to fulfill the needs of the needy...then lets see how much those libs really "care about the people"...."-- Posted by boosterprez1

Oh please, when was the last time the government had representatives that molested children and covered it up? When was the last time they built a water slide in a religious "Disney Land" and bilked both their donors and the government?

And you want to give these people more money? You want Scientology federally funded?

Better think about this people. There''s a good reason that government funds have not been put into the churches.

"Think about how blacks in this country would vilify Powell if he said Obama was not qualified to be president." Posted by joe1022joe

Maybe you might think about how we already vilify Mr. "I''m not really all that Black" Powell for being the "point man" for Bush''s lies into Iraq.

Having said that, back on subject, I do fing it disturbing that Mr. Obama''s attempt to reach out to the far right fake "Christians" would move him to put public money into the hands of corrupt religionists.

Mr. Obama, please do not become any more similar to the pigs who oppose your presidency, the last thing America needs is to finally elect a "Black" president, only to find an "Uncle Tom" who would passively accept the socio-economic status quo.

[joe1022joe]

FUNNY THAT COLIN POWELL HAS SAID OBAMA IS FULLY QUALITFIED AND WOULD PROBABLY MAKE A VERY GOOD PRESIDENT.
BUT I GUESS YOU GUYS KNOW MORE THAN COLIN POWELL.

Think about how blacks in this country would vilify Powell if he said Obama was not qualified to be president.

[joe1022joe]

Obama is running from his African Moslem family as fast as he can.

[smirk5]

It''s interesting that more military personnel are giving money to Obama than are giving to McCain. Why would that be Cons?

[paris1969]

I guess NObama is going to let taxpayers "buy" the evangelical votes for him!!

[tiredofthebs]

Obama has 100 times more experience than GWB, and is 100 times more intellegent, is 100 times more moral, is 100 times more thoughtful, but no one worried about putting Bush in the Whitehouse. I am certainly not worried about Obama in the Whitehouse.

Posted by kansas1946 at 11:01 PM : Jul 01, 2008

Bush?! Bush leaves office in January (thank GOD). It still doesn''t change the fact that Obama has less than four years in the Federal Government. Hardly qualifies him to be president in my opinion.

"So Obama is going to continue Bush''''s policies of state religion"

Please read your history. America was and is a Christian nation. It always has been. Only recently have rogue judges tossed aside the design of our founding fathers and 200 years to craft a government hostile to the Christian faith. The reason you live so large and enjoy so many freedoms is specifically because of a Judaeo-Christian ethic which is at the foundation of this nation.

"All I care about Obama is that he is able to pull this screwed up country back together, again. Period. "

I think you far overestimate Obama''s capabilities. He is a man who quite clearly votes along party lines. If you''re looking for change from Obama, you''ve obviously tasted of the Kool Aid.

I do not share your faith. In fact, I think quite the opposite. If he is elected, Heaven help us all!

"Obama....is 100 times more moral, "

Are you talking about the man who voted for partial birth abortion and also voted that the baby should be murdered if he/she survived the first attempt even after being fully born? That''s a moral man???????

Wow, what kind of morality do you subscribe to????

"The challenges we face today ... are simply too big for government to solve alone," Obama said.

Fact is, Christianity has carried this nation since its foundations. Since 1947, government (especially the courts) has continually chopped away at religious freedoms. For nearly 200 years, government mandated that public schools teach Christianity and a Christian ethic specifically because we are a Christian nation. Today, a handful of judges have managed to unravel this nation at its foundations.

Barack makes it sound like seeking assistance from religious institutions is a new idea. Anyone who knows US History knows that the opposite is true. America was built on a Judaeo-Christian ethic. It was Christianity - a strong faith in God - that made America possible. Obama, I hope you are beginning to see what our Forefathers knew all along.

If this is true, sorry ACLU. You%u2019ll have to crawl back under that rock from which you came!
