March 4th, 08 Obama offers a policy of dialogue and accommodation. He has opposed listing Iran''s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization and proposed a grand bargain with Syria''s rulers. He is even prepared to ignore two UN Security Council resolutions that require Iran to stop its uranium-enrichment program as a precondition for talks at the highest level.

In the face of all of their coruption and failures, Republicans have to figure out a way to get Americans to continue to vote for them and against their own interests. To do this they will continue to use smear and fear on Obama rather than trying to sell the same old failed policies that have been devastating to working Americans.

Symbolism is important but actions speak louder than words for me. As a veteran I don''t give a rats butt whether anyone wears a flap pin but when they are in the Senate or White House and they don''t do anything for veterans or worse, take credit for something they fought against, then all the symbolism in the world won''t change anything. The current administration and John McCain by extension do not want veterans to have the same benefits that WW II vets got and todays armed forces are being over burdened and under appreciated. The Republicans need to be swept out of power.

What a "fairytale" story.

Obama isn''t going to face any backlash. The "left-wingers" will vote for him no matter what he says or does.

My fellow Americans there is going to be an "attempt" by Obama and supported through propaganda from our corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack press to give the impression that Obama is a "moderate".

What Obama is doing is "pandering to the center" BUT Obama is not "moving to the center".

Let''s be perfectly clear on this...................................Obama is a left-wing liberal and his "actual" voting record shows this very clearly.................

When you live in areas highly populated by blacks on welfare as in Pennsylvania, you can''t help be racist with the crime they produce and their arrogance just like Obama. They think they are entitled to everything because of slavery. Wake up, if he gets in office everything will go to Africa and blacks here in our country. My taxes are to go to everyone equally.

Blacks are racists too and we have plenty of whites who say that they are no but in urban areas, guess again.

Obama is radical liberal pretending to be in the middle and promising Change he has no business doing- since he is not experianced in so many areas of life nor a true patriot, and for those who support a church going elitist hating the USA for 20 years Obama is nothing more than a REAL hypocrit. If you worked hard all your life and happen to be rich you SHOULD NOT be obligated to give to the poor, as he wants, the poor need to work hard, too, like the rest of us. You might not get rich, but you need to live with true American standards.

MCCAIN WILL WIN.

He is a shadow, hard to define and has little experience other than making great speeches written by other people.

Just good marketing by his campaign, no substance and voters will buy anything. We are the most brainwashed people in the world, you can sell us anything especially if US residents looking for hope.

Looking to vote for someone else even a dog will do since we only have 2 parties with enough money to buy the elections.

I''ve noticed that blacks are extremely racist people. On one side of their mouth they say they want to be treated like everyone else in America while on the other side they are wanting to be treated special. I''m sick and tired of it.

"...more Americans see presumptive GOP nominee John McCain as patriotic than see Obama as such. "

Where is the suprise there?!


"Periodically, when things are going badly, you get charismatic rhetorical presidents like FDR, Kennedy, Reagan," said Hoff. "Obama is one of those, the type of candidate whose iconic representation is ultimately this message of hope and change. In that sense he''s not unique."

TRUE, HE IS NOT UNIQUE, AND ONLY HIS COLOR MAKES HIM ''DIFFERANT'' .. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TO THINK HE IS RIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY. BEYOND (color or race,) HE IS THE MOST UNQUALIFIED CANIDATE EVER TO RUN.
