Obama Kicks Off Economy Tour in "Red" State of N.C.
(CBS)
CHICAGO -- Barack Obama heads to North Carolina today, as he kicks off a two week campaign swing intended to focus on the economy. In his speech today, Obama is expected to continue to draw parallels between John McCain’s economic plan and George Bush’s.
During the next two weeks, Obama will travel to states which typically do not vote for a Democratic presidential candidates in general elections. Although North Carolina has not voted for the Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976, the campaign is confident that they can put the state into play this year. They are counting on the vast grassroots organization that they built in the state during the primary contest, as well as Obama’s appeal to students and African Americans. Obama beat Hillary Clinton in the North Carolina primary by a double digit margin.
Last week, Obama campaigned in Virginia, also considered a “red” - or Republican - state, and will make his way to the battlegrounds of Missouri, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida in the coming days. A campaign aide told CBS News that their strategy going forward to make Republicans work harder in states they could typically “check off” in previous elections, hence the trips to North Carolina and Virginia.
Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences between the two of these presidential presumptive nominees are as under:
1. Presidential "Temperament and Composer".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" experience.
3. "Vision and mission" for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies, " first U.S.A Centric" than any other country [ ies ] centric.
In my professional opinion Senator Obama leads in all above qualities.
The need of our next movement and generation is a change. The Change in " past Washington and its Leadership". A change we can believe in and not the seductive, deceptive, and confusing slogan of "leader we can believe in" [? Effexor ?".
Our Greatgrand Nation has to address many present and future challenges and start with new clean "Slate and Senator".
God Bless America. its diverse people, and our Greatgrand Nation.
Our Greatgrand Nation is needs the CHANGE at every level and for long time.
I am sure Senator Obama with the help of Senator Clinton and her supporters, can deliver that CHANGE.
Please stay involved, stay engaged, and stay informed. Please do not allow any seduction, deception, and or confusion by some partisan media and leaders effect your vote [ Psychological Terrorism ]..
Yours truly,

The price of oil per barrel was under $50.00 before the Bush Administration%u2019s invasion and occupation of Iraq. Iraqi Oil removed from the world market, and the further THREAT of proliferation of military conflict on other Middle Eastern Countries has allowed Futures Oil Speculators to run with the price of oil.
America needs a change, a complete and comprehensive energy plan and implementation needs to take place. Drilling in protected areas of Alaska is the solution the Republicans have to answer the conundrum they have put our country into. It%u2019s been the oil profit ambition by the Conservative Republican Party that has put Americans into the situation you find yourself each and every time you go to the pump, and or supermarket.
Why should we (the American People) vote for any of them?
