Do you want to know who your candidate is? Look at his record BEFORE he got in the race. That is the real one, and his attitude will go back to his natural lean: (regardless of party... McCain had to soften his centrist views to appease the hard right)

This is Obama, from his own book, it may help frame some of his recent Freudian slips (like Joe the Plumber''s answer on redistribution of wealth):

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

"In search of some inspiration, I went to hear Kwame Toure, formerly Stokely Carmichael of Black Panther fame, speak at Columbia," Obama wrote in "Dreams," which he published in 1995. "At the entrance to the auditorium, two women, one black, one Asian, were selling Marxist literature."

If you''re angry about Obama now, I can''t imagine how angry you''ll be after Nov 4. I tried to imagine it, but it''s just too much to bear. Make sure to stay away from weapons or sharp instruments. Better safe than sorry, if you know what I mean.

I see people think Mccain is Bush, ya, they are republic but Mccain/Palin are not Bush. they see government need change and real change and fight corruption. Obama will never fight corruption in the government. He will never be against his own party, like Fannie and Fredie. I see Obama''''s change is to become socialist and government control. So amazing is American people say ''''Yes'''' to obama''''s plan. It''''s government failure education system and don''''t each free enterprises and free market economy. Hope Obama change his plan when he get there.

McCain has been part of the gridlock and corruption in Senate for 22 years, including being indicted as one of the Keating 5, and now he wants change?

No thank you McCain!

McCain and Palin continue to call Obama a Socialist. Was it not President Reagan who began the Earned Income Tax Credit? And isn''t it a redistribution of income? Would McCain and Palin not want to call it Socialism?

Now listen up rick-o-war:

Millions of Americans oppose Senator Obama%u2019s candidacy for many different reasons. For a small number of bigots, one of them is almost certainly race. That being said, Obama%u2019s surrogates and media supporters have shown very little reluctance to ascribe racism to virtually anyone who supports another candidate. This is shameful. Worse still, Obama has personally played the race card several times, accusing Republicans in general, and the McCain campaign specifically, of whipping up race-based ugliness. When McCain%u2019s objects, Obama has disingenuously denied he was referring to race in his initial comments. Really? On one occasion, Obama accused Republicans of trying to %u201Cscare%u201D voters by mentioning that he %u201Cdoesn%u2019t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.%u201D At another rally he made a similar claim, adding %u201C%u2026did we mention he%u2019s black?%u201D to his interpretation of the GOP%u2019s supposed scare tactics. As someone who presents himself as a unifying figure, what does it say that he shamelessly injects racial politics into the campaign, casting aspersions on his opponents%u2019 motives?
