As soon as they listen to this extraordinarily gifted speaker, they will back him. If the failed , divisive policies of the baby boomeresare the past, then Obama is, thankfully, the future.

And soon, the witch will be gone.

Don''t fall for Obama''s celebrity. If you listen closely to his speeches, you''ll see that there are no real solutions or plans being laid out. And the one''s that are included, he too from Hillary Clinton''s ideas.

I believe in the AUDACITY OF NOPE and I''m voting for Senator Hillary Clinton.

If we are moving by "increments"...those "increments" are taking us in the wrong direction...and we are walking calmly down the road to Corporatist Tyranny voting ourselves into a police state...To''ell with that!...

....Vote Third Party! Fight the Oligarchy and stop pretending that we are winning when the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, the undeclared wars based on lies and false flag operations are taking us steadily down the road to Corporate serfdom. Vote Third Party and start taking our freedom back!

Obama promises revolution, which in the hands of the uninitiated, can be a very painful process. Look at how long it took Lenin to get it right... Oops, he was killed before it really went South at the hands of Stalin. At the other end of the spectrum, Hitler also delivered a revolution... We all know how that ended. Progress must be gradual and evolutionary... We can''t go from being the U.S. to turning into Sweden overnight... Not that is wouldn''t be fun to have red light districts in every town across the U.S. Clinton or McCain will get my vote. I am terrified of putting a "Rebel without a clue" leading this country. This country is not ready for another clueless presidency.

Mckain and Mrs Clinton do not need budget expenses annual. They have their own barrel pork in the senate with every war the go. That is Bush legacy. The more and less fiscalized money will be in war. With Clinton and Mckain we will be in war until the empire be fearly destroyed based in the corseps it let arround the world.

I heard on the internet that Obama is going to force all white Christian children to become Muslims just like he is. He will also force them to join al Qaeda. I am an ignorant redneck so it is easy for me to believe whatever I want to believe.

I wonder how many of those 971,094 realized that Obama is rated as the most liberal senator in the Senate? How many know that, as an Illinois state legislator, Obama voted "present" (in other words, he wouldn''t take a stand) on a bill that would have that would have prohibited a procedure often referred to as partial birth abortion. Obama voted "present" on SB 759, a bill that required mandatory adult prosecution for firing a gun on or near school grounds. The bill passed the state Senate 52-1. Also, Obama voted "present" on HB 854 that protected the privacy of ***-abuse victims by allowing petitions to have the trial records sealed. He was the only member to not support the bill. Obama voted "present" on two parental notification abortion bills (HB 1900 and SB 562), and he voted "present" on a series of bills (SB 1093, 1094, 1095) that sought to protect a child if it survived a failed abortion. And finally in 2001, Obama voted "present" on SB 609, a bill prohibiting strip clubs and other adult establishments from being within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, and daycares. A "present" vote is generally used to provide political cover for legislators who don''t want to be on the record.
Is this the kind of person we want to be President. Is he is unwilling to take a stand on anything? Sure he makes a good speech, but what does he stand for??

I liked a lot of things about Ron Paul but to be honest... Change is going to have to come in waves. That is...Unless you support a violent overthrow.

More like small increments with the rich and powerful kicking and screaming all the way.
