We have decided to support Obama NO MATTER WHAT? What we are telling those this year who do not support Obama is "we do not care." For many who did not have a voice...we have a voice this year. Thanks to the millions of new teenagers who have registered, millions of new minority registrations, via our massive online donations, email drives, text messages and other resources that we have tapped for our massive takeover of power in the country. Screw the evangelicle vote, lol...wont work this year...we just killed all of that *** and whatever other groups they come up with that is just another names for repulican rednecks or racist! For many years the republicans simply have not heard us...and they have not cared. Then they ask..how did we get here? How did we get to the point when a blackman is about to take the most powerful office in the world? wow....they really don''t know?

0D1NGA is a MILITANT SHIITE MUSLIM.

0D1NGAs mama was OBAMAs aunt. OBAMAs dad was great friends with MARXIST VP of Kenya 0D1NGAs dad!!!
I do love a close family!

0D1NGA lost the Presidential race 2007 even with the DOCUMENTED HELP of OBAMA.

So he sanctioned the ethnic cleansing/killing of 1000 kikuyus early 2008.

50 CHRISTIAN women and children were burned in a CHURCH! Those trying to escape were MACHETED!

Cant wait for Obama to lose this one.

This 0D1NGA B0MB has TRACTION. Any posts that spell 0D1NGA properly are ''''DELETED!'''' Try it for yourself.

I like the sound of President 0D1NGA. Don''t you? Like a machete that gets stuck on bone. He''s rewriting the Kenyan Constitution!

Maybe the INDONESIAN OBAMA can rewrite ours!

FEINSTEIN you and your accomplices who dont listen to your constituents, said YES on the BAILOUT, HELPED this FOREIGNER in the SENATE---NOW POTUS!

Fellow Americans, I love this country for all it stands for. We will NOT have a FOREIGN PRINCE as its President.

I forget, the republicans made Obama pay ACORN 832K and file a report with the Elections office that it was for staging and lighting. Bad republicans!

According to Bertha Lewis She claims only a tiny fraction of their new registrations have problems. Are we to understand from Bertha that there is only a tiny bit of voter fraud? With 8 ACORN employees being convicted of voter fraud in MO this last April. Those are not allegations those are convictions therefore ACORN should never be allowed to receive another federal dollar.

When it comes to voter fraud you can always blame the republicans. They have done and will do anything and everything to win. Both the 2000 and 2004 elections have been suspicious in two states with republican officials - Florida and then Ohio. I have recently learned that several states have been purging voter files and may have purged many eligible voters. That is what I am concerned about. What was going on with ACORN I have no idea, but republicans could be behind it. Naming voters Tim Buck Two and Vote for Me are some really obvious messed up voter cards.

If Obama is such a lock and the election is just a formality, why does ACORN need to conduct voter registration fraud? They know these people will not actually vote. The real danger is poll workers in these areas using the fraudulent registrations to basically stuff the ballot box. Pay attention to vote reporting, How many of the areas with massive fraudulent registrations will be the last areas to report vote totals? These areas with high rates of false registrations will wait to see how many votes are needed before using these same registrations to achieve the desired result.

How do you settle the "financial crisis" ? We could throw 100s of BILLIONS at Banks and the Rich and hope the big companies pull through with $400,000 massages at resorts.


Or we could give every adult American a million dollars, require they pay off their home loan first, buy a new American made car, pay off one credit card, and eat out at least one night a week for a month. That would take about ONLY 200MILLION bucks, solve the housing problems of every one but those who need to live in a house that cost over a million. Save GM, Ford, and Chrysler from failure. Put college kids to work as waiters. And leave a few bucks left over to put in the bank for middle class people.


Problems solved, every one happy, except Washington politicians and super rich, stuff shirts, whose passed down family fortunes will lose some value. Dang that was easy.

I have a huge problem with the use of education by radicals such as Ayers, Dorhn and others. These sixties radicals have been welcomed into our eduational system. The problem I have with them is that they do not educate they tell children that they cannot be successful and it is all the fault of the establishment and/or the oppressive whites. They write papers and solicit grants with vauge agendas that purport to be addressing lack of success in local schools to obtain grants from the government, individuals and organization. Fact, Obama supervised the 100M dollars for these efforts and ultimately the funding was cut off because of lack of success. The school and quality of eduction did not improve. These people are doing intercity youth a great diservice and are simply using them. The leaders make large salaries for their efforts and neighborhood schools remain unacceptable. These programs are not working because they do not tutor the children, they do not encourage the children, they do not bring parents into the school to help in classes, they do not stress the importance of a stong family, all they do is discourage the youth by telling them they are being oppressed.

Leonore Annenberg, currently the president and chairman of the Annenberg Foundation is listed on McCain''s own website as a top endorser. (see list of %u201CAmbassadors for McCain%u201D). Annenberg is a REPUBLICAN and she%u2019s the person who funded the Ayers education committee that Obama (and several other Republicans) participated in-it was part of the "Annenberg Challenge" .

So if McCain is so concerned about Obama''s connections to this "terrorist" he should also be very concerned about his own connections- McCains top donor from Chicago (Annenberg) currently funds this "terrorist" and his "radical agenda". The truth is that despite his detestable past, Ayers is now a very respected professor of education and in 1997 he was presented with the "Citizen of the Year" award from the City of Chicago for his work with public schools.

Obviously with Ayers there''s a double standard- If you''re a

Here''s a short list of prominent people at least as connected to Ayers as Barack Obama. Many of them served on various boards with Ayers, while others consider him a friend and associate.

Susan Crown: Vice president of Henry Crown & Co., the largest single investor in Virginia defense contractor General Dynamics Corp. The bulk of the family''s holdings are in manufacturing and real estate. Other nuggets include Aspen Skiing Co. resort in Colorado and stakes in the Chicago Bulls, the New York Yankees and New York''s Rockefeller Center.

Patricia Graham: Former dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and board member for Houston-based Apache Corp., an independent energy company. She served as president of the Spencer Foundation, which supports research into educational improvement.

Arnold Weber: Past president of Northwestern University and of the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago, a leading business and civic organization, and director of Chicago-based Diamond Management and Technology Consultants. He has been on faculty at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago, Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a trustee of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.

Diana Nelson: Former Republican Illinois state representative and executive director of Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform.

Who cares? This does not scare me- just compare the numbers of possible fraudulent Acorn voter registrations to the over 200,000 voters that have already been suppressed by Republican leaning election officials in these same battleground States. Acorn%u2019s problems are nothing compared to the Keating 5, the lies and abuse of power in Troopergate, Rick Davis%u2019s ties to Freddie Mac, Phil Grahams anti-regulation legislation that caused the bank meltdown, the powerful army of lobbyists that control McCain/Palin, McCain%u2019s ongoing history of votes AGAINST veterans%u2026the list goes on. McCain/Palin act exactly like Bush: entitled, secretive, incurious, hypocritical, cynical and condescending. They''re obviously in bed with big oil, big banking, and the insurance companies, or we%u2019d be hearing all about their specific ideas and specific policies to improve the country and bring about %u201Creform%u201D. We%u2019re not hearing about any new ideas and policies because they don''t have any new ideas or policies- just a continuation of Bush. So now all they have left is this desperate grab for any distraction they can get because they have no answers for the present. This is the best they can come up with? Acorn? what a joke! The Republicans have been whining about Acorn since the 80%u2019s.- it%u2019s because they are completely terrified whenever they think poor people might actually vote.

Watch out for Diebold. Why worry about who''s registered when the votes are counted by Diebold?

ACORN and OBAMA!! When will CBS News report on the facts, all the facts, including Obama''s work as an attorney, organizer & trainer and major donor to this radical group linked to voter fraud. While this is nation-wide news, and you have many negative stories regarding the McCain-Palin ticket, CBS appears to avoid any references to Senator Obama and Acorn. It appears to be journalistic irresponsibility. Please share the truth with us

The New York Times actually explains the longstanding relationship with Obama and ACORN.

8 ACORN employees were convited of voter fraud last April. There have been numerous reports of double registering voters; registering dead people, convicted felons, etc. and ACORN is always in the article. Obama has paid CSI a wholly owned front company for ACORN 832K in this election. Of course like the Wright, Ayers thing, he lied in his initial disclosure stating it was for lighting and staging. After he was caught lieing he said he would amend his report to state that it was for voter registration. I know it is real easu to mix up lighting and staging with voter registratin since the are both require smoke and mirrors.

cbsespo- Are you part of ACORN or just so sold on Obama that you over look the evidence?

cbsespo- I don''t think there would be 11 states doing a investigation into this group if it was not a issue. And some of these states are very heavy Dems. There is a issue so lets find it fix it and let the fun go on until Nov 4th. Then some can party some can cry in their beer. Either way it is only 4 more years to we get all this fun again, so enjoy now and look forward to the next one.

suki33- Well I think if there had been a investigation then instead of now, I would be able to vote for Hillary, now I vote for McCain. Due mostly to Obama not answer questions and then his deal with ACORN. To late for Hillary but not to late for the country.
