This is all about voting for the smartest candidate who can get us out of this mess. If the U.S. were a corporation Obama would be eliminated from the competition because he lacks the experience to get the job done. His resume is lacking and would have ended up in the garbage pail. But the average American voter tends to vote on "feelings" --- hence Bush for 8 years and tragic mistakes which have been devastating to our people and our economy. According to the latest polls it looks like we are once again poised to choose the wrong candidate for the job. It''s not about "feelings" and lying TV ads --- it''s about who can get the job done.

My concern is not that Obama is white or black, but that he is too green. Experience counts. We need a seasoned leader to steer this country out of its present difficulties.

The problem with your statement is that no one has experience for this job until they get elected. Personally, I don''t want anybody with any experience because that''s why this country is in the shape its in now. Experience in this position tends to mean more of the same and politics as usual. I want someone who cares about the citizens of THIS country, someone who cares about our infrastructure, someone who cares about our foreign policies with other countries, someone who is not a war monger, someone who is willing to talk with our enemies to seek peaceful solutions when crisis arise, someone who cares about our economy and the housing debacle and unemployment. Someone who see''s all of us as Americans, not white, not black, not brown, not yellow, but as people who want to respect and be proud of our government again. For me, the person that personifies these qualities is Obama...period!

What an ad!!! Obama wants every child to have the opportunity his children have ? Well one of them is to go to the same church they have been going to. To go to a school that costs $20.000 in tuition. I decline. Good values and good public schools that''s all we need

Yes, I read both of them. Without your rose colored glasses on.

AND I saw every one of his condescending smart arse punk responses to his opponent!

And there is no way that I will place a vote in any capacity for this this anti-American corrupt politician!

truth-hurts --- I can understand why you think I''m "babbling". You probably fall into that "LESS EDUCATED" group that won''t vote for Obama because of his RACE! It''s "babbling", when white America shows HATE, saying they WILL NOT vote for someone because of their race. But it''s straight-up, "It''s a shame, black people hate so much," when Rev Wright spoke out. You don''t understand what I said because you DON''T WANT TO understand! Well, these are factual results, these white people said they WOULD NOT VOTE FOR BARACK BECAUSE OF HIS RACE!! Hopefully, you''re smarter than a fifth grader, and I broke it down enough for you. Don''t answer this comment, I don''t have time for people like you who "play games" with the truth.

MSpiff and neonink,

You probably believe Obama is not really half white right? He''s lying about his whiteness right? He''s actually a terrorist sent from the undercover brother movie to destroy the 100 Pro Americans that you speak of, right? You both need to get a life.

Associated Press-- April 8, 2008
EXIT POLLS FROM PREVIOUS PRIMARIES:
"Whites saying they considered the candidates RACE, were liklier to be from the SOUTH, LESS EDUCATED, LOWER EARNINGS, and OLDER". "Whites who said RACE was their TOP CONSIDERATION, preferred Clinton over Obama, by 63 to 32 percent". BUT, ALL YOU HELL-ERY SUPPORTERS SAY REV WRIGHT IS THE ONLY PERSON FULL OF HATE IN AMERICA!! BARACK HAD TO GO ON NATIONAL T.V TO TRY AND EXPLAIN REV WRIGHT''S HATE! WELL, HOW IN THE HE## DO YOU "EXPLAIN" THIS!!!
YOU HIPOCRITES!!
