This country is not about a flag pin; it%u2019s not about a flag; it is about a citizens right to burn that flag in protest. Anyone who thinks wearing a flag pin makes them patriotic is sick. It%u2019s like a baby that cries, not because it%u2019s hurts, but because it wants others to think it hurts. This country is about the right of a person to get up and put forth an opinion that you totally disagree with and would fight with all your breath against. . That is what America is about, that is what we should celebrate. Our military fights for our Constitutional right to burn that flag if we wish. It%u2019s called freedom of speech. The right to express ourselves any way we wish.

His excuse of not having read the appropriate briefs!!! That doesn''t work much beyond the 10th grade does it? It didn''t for me. the debate was an embarrassment. I do not want a figurehead, because a figurehead has people behind the scenes writng the script and telling him what to say. By that way of thinking we would not be electing him, but his associates. And you know what we are supposed to do with associates. Don''t look behind the curtain, says the Wizard of Oz.

Just confirmation: people, forget it: debate is just for dirty sinks and just for politicians.

I have noticed how Senator Obama operates with the old side step and gimmick gestures. Every time I see the clip in which Obama pretends to give hard quesitons the brush off, he seems like a kid who thinks he''s very clever. Look what a funny I can make! It reminds me each time that I''d like to give him the brush off. He shoots out his condescending and patronizing ammunition and then when he gets caught, winks and grins and shuffles and acts all "Aw shucks." I worried that if Senator Obama wins the White House he will only work every other day.

On Day One he will make elitist remarks and talk patronizingly about some person, group or nation.

On Day Two he will be busy whining, name calling, apologizing for his "Words" and trying to put a positive spin on all the things he bungled the day before.

It is naive to think all we need is for Senator Obama to tell us to work together and it will happen. Congress doesn''t operate that way. Each representative in Washington is representing her or his own constituency. The political enemies he keeps antagonizing every day now will probably return to him the finger he flipped to Senator Clinton, many times over. Good Greif.

We need a grown up in the White House who has credibility and a great resume. We need Senator Clinton. Vote for her!

If you truly believe all that you said, I have a bridge to sell you. None so blind as those who will not see.

WATCH IT NOW... Before you trip over all the lies Hill and Bill are throwing down and fall over that cliff their backstabbing job working NAFTA and CAFTA sell out programs has placed in your way.

As for your blind statement: "you teach best what you most need to learn yourself"

Democrats know they are in deep trouble, when the only difference between the Dem talking points and the Republican talking points is that one is a woman. So sad--for the Clintons to present themselves as Benedict Arnold to their own party.

"Shame on you Hillary Clinton...Shame on you!!!" LOL

Mrs. Clinton has been taking money from the special interest more than anyone else.

Posted by Perflead

That''s quite a statement. Took more money than anyone else? That covers a lot of people. Such a foolish statement.

Nobody can be foolish to belong to the south side of chicago & act elitist.

You obviously do no that the issue is not that Obama is among the elite class, but that he has an elitist attitude. One need not be rich or even well educated to be an elitist.

You are supposed to lose your trust once you lie & not when you misspeak.

Oops. So much for Obama''s chances in November.

Obama is at least not obligated to take care of the desires of the special interest because he has not been accepting the special interest money.

Posted by Perflead at 10:59 PM : Apr 18, 2008

Obama was outed on this lie.

Obama''s good judgment should at least be appreciated.
He did not vote for the Iraq war.
Look at the consequences of supporting & causing the Iraq war.
Think about the lost lives.
Those who lost their lives did not get to live and have a future like we enjoy.
They have families who lost them.
Think about the economic consequences that run in trillions.
So judgement really matters
This is a reason sufficient enough by itself to vote for Obama.
Somebody supported NAFTA & has been taking top dollars from special interest and then promised jobs to American workers.
It should open up your eyes.
Somebody lied about being under fire just to show experience.

She will not be able to help American workers as much as Obama will be able to.
Obama is at least not obligated to take care of the desires of the special interest because he has not been accepting the special interest money.
What is better misspeaking or lying?
Obama did not lie about being under fire.
You are supposed to lose your trust once you lie & not when you misspeak.
It is natural to misspeak for even an attorny, once in a while.
Nobody can be foolish to belong to the south side of chicago & act elitist.
Even those who criticize him know in their hearts Obama didn''''t belittle anyone.
Everyone in their heart knows he is humble & a self made man.
Mrs. Clinton has been taking money from the special interest more than anyone else & her experience in the white house as President''''s wife is not the 3 AM kind of experience which she claims to have.
She misrepresents her experience.
Is she not supposed to lose your trust because she misrepresented & lied about her experience?

Hillary didn''t lie about not knowing about her pastor''s hateful rhetoric about America.

In the same debate she made a sarcastic comment to the commentators, asking if they wanted to get Obama a pillow to make him more comfortable.

It wasn''t said sarcastically. I think it was meant to be humorous - and it was!
