Katie Couric: What would you like to have on your tombstone?
John McCain: "He served honorably" or, "and he put his country first."
Barack Obama: That "he was a good man, and an honest man." And that "he was a good father and a good husband." And that "he tried to give something of himself to make the world better." Something pretty simple, but somehow hard to achieve sometimes.

Exactly who put Obama here for the purpose to be President? Whoever it was, are they guaranteeing a good one or a poor one? - Reply to this comment
- What about talk of his own country? Obama''''s goal is to be a world leader, no doubt about it... just like his fast track to his candidacy, he''''s already thinking way bigger than America. And a bunch of suckers are trying to vote him in thinking he cares about middle class and poor Americans. Tell him you want pancakes for breakfast, and he''''ll promise to come cook you pancakes. You people are fools.

I agree. He ends all his speeches with change the world. Question, has anyone that supports Barack Obama bothered to spend the money to purchase his two books and read them? I did. He won''t have my vote. - Reply to this comment
- Some people are put here for specific reasons and Obama''s reason for being here is to be President. So stop with all the "he''s not experienced" Bush is experienced but all experience isn''t good experience!
