CNN is very mean to Mrs Clinton
Obama get all the free pass

It seems stange to list all of the things you listed about Obama and then ask “who is this guy?” I mean, you just explained more than is covered in the standard news publications. You listed more about Obama’s past than I actually know about George W Bush’s past. Why the “who is this guy” question. He may not have been around for 20 years in the midst of controversy in the White House, but I feel like I know him as well as I know any other political figure.

What are we looking for here, uncovered skeletons in the closet??

Instead of the public (mostly Obama supporters) telling Rev. Wright
to shut up and go away, they should be saying come on keep
talking. Tell us all you know about Obama. Tell us who you know
him to be, how he got where he is today, who helped him get
where he is today (besides you and your influence in the
black community). The American people have the right to know
everything about him if he and his wife want to be in the White
House. If he is as wonderful as his supporters think he is , then
they should have nothing to be afraid of and welcome this kind
of insight to the man and his wife. However, if they are afraid of
what will come out about him and what they will find out, then I
can understand why they want Rev Wright silenced and to go
away.

John, WHo really knows who he is. The skeletons just keep falling out of his closet. I am extremely disapporinted in the Democratic Party. Obama is going to be so weak come November that it will not look pretty. Quite frankly the Democrats need to stop blaming Clinton. Sooner or later the Republicans were going to go after him that the timeing woul deven be worse. Clinton has actually done the Democratic Party a favor by exposing it now and givnig the delegates a chance to change their minds.

He sold a bill of goods to the media and they ran with it .They didn’t ask who are you and who do you have ties to?The media has done such a deservice to the American people.

Obama has never served one complete term of political office without reaching for the next higher rung of the ladder. During his first term as an IL State Senator, Obama made an unsuccessful bid for U.S. House of Representatives. During his second term as IL State Senator, Obama ran for his U.S. Senate seat. During his first term as a U.S. Senator, he’s making his bid for President.

My favorite description of Obama comes from David Mendell’s biography, “His easygoing public temperament and ingenious lack of specificity that perhaps have most abetted his career in politics.”

And the point of your report? How well did we know Bush and Bush and for the matter Bill Clinton and Monica, oh yeah his wife was/is Hillary..when did something like that happen in the White House. You know the Clinton’s are lairs..and folks still voting for them. And by the way, why is it that being articulate is a pre-requisite for being an African-American? Shhhhh don’t do that it’s insulting..think why wouldn’t he be…When you speak a bout Bush do u say “he’s not artiulate? This ability doesn’t tell one who a man is…..

As much as I hate to see such a direct cut-throat attack on my favorite blog site, it is undeniably true. I couldn’t agree more.
He is inexperienced, he did get elected to senate with what could hardly be considered competition, and he has opposed many bills that would seem patriotic and productive to me, and supported immigration and amnesty of many illegals. Not what I want to see.
Also, as discussed on the live blog last night, his wife’s thesis from Princeton-which is easily accessible on Google or other search engines- shows just how she feels about our country and the racial divide that she seems to feel strongly about, and her unwillingness to bridge that gap for herself. Please, read it…it’s not encouraging to say the least. It is not a good sign when the university has pulled it off their shelves until the election process is over. Finally, she has recently been quoted as saying “For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country,” What does this say about not only her, but her family as a whole?
All of the candidates have had their lows, Hillary with her taxes and her “Bosnia sniper fire” in which she barely escaped with her life and McCain saying he wouldn’t mind staying in Iraq for 100 years if thats what it takes…not good ideas by either party. It is coming down to-in my opinion-a choice of the lesser of three evils.
Just my opinion, would love to hear yours.

I am a “white, 57 year old grandmother who believes in the message Obama is speaking. I believe we stand on a threshhold that has the potential to lead this nation down a new path. A path where all people, all color and all religions could learn to live together as a united nation. A united nation with a goal. A goal to leave behind our differences, our past, our fears and our hate. A goal that could bring us together, to work together to forge a future of peace that can build bridges, not bombs. The powers are rallying their “controllers” to derail this goal and hinder the progress of this future. Hate, bigotry, racial divide and differences in religious belief earn big money for the manipulating game of power and politics. They will not reliquish it quietly or with grace. They rely on conditioned responses to overcome the threat. They utilize fear to interrupt the message that speaks to one nation united. Do we dare listen and believe? I for one, who was raised with the cold war threat of “tuck and cover beneath the desk”, am tired of being afraid. Obama has no ties to special interests or lobbiest monies. Jesus dared to walk among sinners to spread his message of faith. It is easy to walk among believers and blend in. I want to believe Obama may just be comfortable enough with his message,that he can stand among the narrow minded and dare to speak with a different voice. He carries a great message for everyone. I do not feel he can damage this country if given the chance to move our country into a direction of change. He is refreshing. Our Congress is in peril. We do not need the same rhetoric and corruption to continue. It is time for change. I have faith that Obama is a voice of hope in a hopeless world. The Clintons need to step aside and leave the past behind so that the nation can move forward with a man who looks to build a brighter future for us all.

Hillary calmly held her hands in her lap last night with the Oreilly interview until he asked if she felt sorry for Obama about the Wright rant at the Press meeting. She rung her hands. Guilty for having one of her own people arrange Wright’s visit, and afraid that someone may come forward to say they were behind his crazy rant. Just one more dirty ploy

UMMMM…. THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES… DUH…

Who he is? I guess, you need to be a GOP Strategist and Former Huckabee National Campaign Chairman to be that clueless. What is it about Barack Obama that makes so many people trust him, from the little guy who is leaning republican to democratic superdelegates, former fed chairmen (Volker) and labor secretaries (Reich) and foreign policy experts (Brzezinski). What is it that they all see, but Ed Rollins cant see? And what would an Ed Rollins have seen and thought about another young and inexperienced representative from Illinois, Abe Lincoln? Inexperienced? We don’t know who he is? No record? Connections to suspicious black rebels (John brown)… I guess you see what you want to see, and ignore the rest.

Let’s come together and show support

There are less than eight months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans. To show our solidarity as Americans, let’s all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. It’s time that we all came together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

If you support the policies and character of Obama, please drive with your headlights on during the day. If you support Hillary or McCain, please drive with your headlights off at night.

I was watching the news last night and someone said this about him…

“Barak Obama is a performer. A pretty good performer. Probably the best performer out there. Ask him about issues and he has no answers. ”

I think this person was right about him.

His advisers are running the show. This is the reason why he never reacts to issues right away. He has to wait and write his perfectly edited eloquent speech before tackling issues. This is also the reason why he sucks in debases because his advisers are not next to him…

Oh well!!! It’s just a thought……

Check out who is on Obama’s campaign staffers.

It is really hard to believe that Hillary Clinton can continue to build herself up by trying to find anything she can to tear Barrack Obama down. America we will get the president not that is best but that we deserve! If our leader is most notable for the way she criticizes and trashes others, as opposed the one who is the best fund raiser, holds the most popular vote, and inspires not leans into negativism then we are indeed headed for a great dark period in AMerican leadership. Will America not see through it all? May God Bless America!

Just who is Obama? Is that a rhetorical question or a real question? Well, Ed Rollins, political strategist (read: “inside the beltway box thinker” pretends it’s a real question for him.

I have this weird suggestion: read this book called Dreams of My Father. In it Obama explains a lot about himself; he even answers Ed’s concern about being a “community organizer in Chicago, whatever that means.” Hmmm, sounds suspicious. I wondered what it meant too.

SPOILER ALERT

At first Obama didn’t know what it meant either; he was told to go into impoverished communities and engage some pastors to help raise awareness about loss of manufacturing jobs. And at the first visit, guess what happened? The pastors didn’t welcome him. He was an outsider and they didn’t trust people who came in with fancy titles like ‘community organizer.’ So what happened next?

I’m not going to tell you. Ask Ed Rollins and see if he knows. Or, here’s that crazy idea again: read Obama’s book.

If “experience” is the sole criteria by which Barack Obama’s candidacy must be judged, I fear for the future of our nation. As former governor of Texas, George W. Bush had “experience” and look what that’s gotten us!

Thanks Ed, always mastering your trade as a GOP strategist… planting well crafted seeds of fear in minds throughout our country. A country that is desperately choking for a CONSCIOUS leader.

The purpose of this comment is to provide a sensible perspective on the latest Democratic issues being discussed in the news. My message is very short and direct. Why is the media questioning a person who goes to a public church, to better unit his family and community. Would you rather he be like his opponent who can not even meet the needs of her own spouse. If she can not even connect with the closest person to her, how can she connect to the nation, let alone the world. By the way I do not support either one. I am a republican who has concerns when things are taken out of context.

Signed a concerned CA resident

Ed, since you are obviously a republican, are you going to so a similiar blog on Hillary and her changing faces? I guess you were disappointed in your search for further dirt to swiftboat him with. Flimsy or not Barack will wipe the floor with your war hero, who is a Dole moment away from a loss.

Why are you asking the question? To show that you will move on at CNN from tabloid journalism, thats laughable,but we can only hope.Keep wagging the dog.C for Clinton News Network

Mr. Rollins,
As a Democrat I usually don’t agree with you very often, but your questions about Sen Obama are very legitimate. Unfortunately the people that should have been asking these questions from the beginning, the media, were lured into Sen Obama charm and didn’t bother to find out who this guy really is. We shouldn’t wait until Jan 21, 2009, when there is the possibilty that he might be President Obama, to find out what really makes this guy tick. It is one thing to say we need change, it is another thing to know exactly how he plans to formulate this change.

It is so sad to see how narrowminded and fickle the american public can be. They are being led by the obsession in the media over the sensationalism of the Rev. Wright story. Meanwhile Hillary Clinton is getting a real pass on not having some of her dishonest and outrageous claims scrutinized, such as, oblitersting Iran, changing how OPEC does business, paying for hger gas tax holiday with a so far non-existent windfall profit tax, past support of NAFTA and the war ,her supposed ignorance about Penn’s and Bill’s income for support of a Columbia free trade agreement, BOSNIA…..this list goes on and on and on…but no one is paying any attention.. It seems to me that people should care more about someone who insults their intelligence on a daily basis..

One Question: What the Hey took you all so long to ask these hard questions? It’s not like Americans and the World were not focused on the same and begging to know the truth!

Don’t you feel, even slightly, that these questions are a bit late and should have emerged at least six months ago?

But, thanks for FINALLY focusing on the missing information related to Obama’s background that has been on a need to know basis since the Presidential Campaign began. If you interpret a bit of ire in my comments your preception and sensibility is correct. And I have no intentions of apologizing.

Let’s just hope a Nation’s tardy curiosity hasn’t already succeeded in putting the most inexperienced, incapable, virtually unknown Candidate in American history in the White House!

Why do you run articles that are really no more than political hack writings from a political adversary. Come on please. This isn’t journalism.

He is a man who is willing to take on America for the betterment of all Americans. He is a man who is ready to take on the world to correct the errors of the past 20 years. He is someone who offers us a choice of someone who could for the first time in my lifetime; begin a process of making sure equality for all citizens has a fighting chance. He is somebody who opened my eyes to this process and how we have never succeeded because a large number of us discern important issues based on opinions as oppose to facts. I also learned whatever the media decides for the day is most important for us to hear is all/only what we will hear, so I must read, read, read, read, read. Because of him, I learned that as much as we say we are strong and powerful, we are actually terrified of everyone and everything including our own citizens. For too many of us, the decision will not be about who has the country’s best interest at heart, but who did the best job placing fear in us. The irony is that it takes us letting go of our fears for us to achieve. I am a 47-year-old VOTER. My gender and race is irrelevant. I boldly go where no man has gone before…OBAMA 08

I’M SORRY! IF you don’t know who Barack is by now - you are just stupid! You are asking that question, just to see if this junk stick. EVERYONE KNOWS WHO OBAMA IS - that is WHY ALL THE SUPERDELEGATES ARE GOING HIS WAY.
ASK THE SUPERDELEGATES WHO HE IS - they know - they are voting for him.

There is no resume… I’m not impressed at all by his articulation , when he speaks if you listen closely he lacks real substance, this is why he has nightmares about facing Hillary in any debates, on the world stage with issues such as national security, diplomacy, he falls off , challenge him on domestic matters the same, if your not qualified to do the job with hands on years of experience and knowledge you should not run for the single most important job representing our country, it would leave us Americans with far more serious problems than we have now. His arrogance is a problem as well, with all of the questions regarding his Rev back -stabbing pal and all of the other affiliations , how can any intelligent person cast their vote for him? do we want the security of our nation in the hands of this man, he was endorsed (BY )Hamas , what do you really think this means?

Maritza

What does it matter how thin his resume is? Have we not established that a sound (thick, yes I mean thick) resume does not mean success? Just look at the last 8 years and tell me a stellar resume will bring this country back to glory, I think not. Bush had a thick resume and we should have all realized that, and certainly in his case, this is not the criterion to elect our presidents by alone.

What we need is inspiration and someone we believe can bring about change for good. Not just for us Americans but as a force for change in a global environment. Think back to Gandhi, he was a meager lawyer who took on the British, he had not a “thick” resume, but he had the foresight to lead and give the people the courage to bring about change and democracy.

Then, as is now, the establishment blew him off as some upstart troublemaker with little experience. It just goes to show, anyone can pad their resume, but can they lead when it’s time to do so and bring about a social revolution that we so desperately need in this country. You ask “Just who is Barack Obama”; I say he is the hope for this country, for a new generation, the likes we have seen little of before.

So? Where do you want to go with this entry? You think people sending a pitbull (Hillary) to the White House? Don’t you think there as been too much dogs in the White House for the last two decades (Bill Clinton - the dirty dog, George W. Bush, the war dog)?

Something tells me that if Obama were white with the name Barry Henry O’Brian you would not be asking this question. Why is it that African-Americans have always been asked to prove who they are as if they were not born here. This kind of unfairness is not going to look good in American History books ten years from now. The future of politics is changing and Obama is leading the way. You’re going to see many more young people involved in politics, showing great success and competence. The baby boomers need to relax and go with the flow.

This is very cute. If you want to learn who he is you could try reading his two books. Since he’s written in detail about his life and views, that might make him seem less mysterious to you. You might even learn what a community organizer is, since he spends about 150 pages on it in Dreams from my Father. But since you’re a GOP strategist, my guess is you don’t really care.

Oh, please…..He is more than that
1-He wasn’t honest about his knowledge of Wright’s way of thinking
2-In his book he said Wright was his mentor, on Monday he said he wasn’t!!! So which one was the truth?
2-GD America didn’t outraged him, once it was directly toward him it was outrageous!! I for one take my country very personal.
3-He associates with people that Hate America, and have taken part in terrorist activities against US
4-His cousin is a jihadist in Kenya, and Obama campaigned for him
5-He said he is a different politician, but the first chance he got he distorted John McCain’s words
6-He changed his pledge to accept public funding
7-He like to meet with Iranian government, the government that has American blood on their hands
8-He refused to stand-up for Israeli, when he was asked on a debate

to answer bluntly - an exceptional man not beat down by the usual type of politics - intelligent - steady - not afraid to admit when he is wrong - did I say integrity? - a devoted family man - 1/2 white - raised in a white household - willing to work with anyone if it’s for the betterment of everyone - presents a unique opportunity to actually bring change to business as usual in Washington….. etc. etc. etc.

Rollins is from the GOP. Enough said. You are afraid and jealous all at the same time of Barack Obama. Spin.Spin……….and more Spin. We see all of this for what it is. Nothing……………….absolutely nothing.

It is quite evident many Republicans are switching party affiliation, during the Primary, in an effort to get Clinton the nomination. They know Obama is likely to beat McCain in the general election. Clever, but it’s too late. Forget the 1:2 ticket Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama…When Obama gets the party’s nomination, he should clearly ask John Edwards to be his #2 man. This will help pull the blue-collar workers’ vote.

What “bais” closed- minded and useless comments from Ed Rollins, GOP strategist.

I pulled up his comments assuming (since it was a CNN website) I would get intelligent and knowledgable information to assist me (a undecided voter) who to choose Sen. Clinton or Obama.

What I just read…..I could have read on “FOX”.

Since everyone is mesmerized by “change and hope”., why did it not work in Ilinois.

Well who is Ed Rollins?

Oh, I know ….. just another nervous Republican…. who is probably a white guy!……… Politicians will be Politicians….

I do not agree that Barack Obama is not qualified to become President.

Based on what we know about Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton, I will take my chances with a “lesser known” Barack Obama over a candidate we already know is rife with scandal and corruption.

You know, I was willing to “cut him some slack” when this Wright thing first came up, but now I’m not sure!

Was Rev. Wright’s performance earlier this week typical to his presentations from the pulpit? If so, I am concerned!

I initially thought some of the G-D America stuff may have been one-time, or needed to be placed in the proper context. But, after hearing stuff earlier this week, it seems to be more common for him!

Thank You someone is finally using their brain here. There is alot that is unanswered about Obama. We know every ounce of dirt there is to know about senator Clinton but if anyone looks at anything questionable about Obama everyone cryin foul and the media is trying to bring him down. I like knowing who I am voting for. I want to know the good and the bad of the candidate and then choose. I don’t want the fairy tale story everyone is trying to paint. Does Obama really think that american’s are so stupid to believe in 20 years of knowing Mr Wright he has never heard anything about his rants? Being a politician you would scrutinize everyone they are associated with to avoid political backlash. I also would like to point out how his wife is tired of hearing about it. The other thing is I don’t understand how the statements made this weekend were the majic that finally made him disown Mr. Wright. He simply repeated what he has already said in several speeches long before this campaign even started. He didn’t seem all that bothered by these statements a month ago.Difference now is people are starting to pay attention finally. I see exactly what his pastor said. He will say whatever he has to as a politician. He said while Mr wrights statements were offensive he could not denounce him. Here it is a month later and he is bothered enough by them to do exactly what he said he wouldn’t do. I see alot that just isn’t adding up with him and everytime something slips out it is pawned off as negativity and pooooooor Barack Obama. This guy has some skeletons in the closet and before the rest come out they are trying to throw Hillary out the race. Open your eyes america!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You right, unexperienced and unknown. Who knows what else is hiding in the wings with this man. You forgot arrogant with a big ego and me complex. I get the feeling he is talking down to people or that he is laughing at people and putting something over on them. He boasts winning all those states before, I wonder what would happen if they held Primaries in those states now that they have learned more about him. And he won so many caucuses where only few people voted? What’s up with those? CNN never explains exactly how they work or how many people actually vote at them.

I only listen to Hillary and she tells me he is a muslim that will destroy our country and all of us good democrats should vote for John McCain.

Ed, I’m sorry, I guess you two have not met each other yet. Let me introduce you to the next president of the United States. Barack Obama.

Senator Obama is a brilliant man who will possibly be the next leader
of the free world, who has to endure the very hypocrisy of some people his own homeland because of something as superficial as his skin tone.

Obama is NOT an unknown commodity. All you have to do is exercise good common sense and judgment and you will see a man who deliberately associates himself with racists and crooks and religious extremists. Add to that the fact that he engages in unethical behavior in attempts to prevent his opponents from running against him (look up what he did to his opponents in IL) as well as inject the race card into a presidential election and accuse innocent people of being racists in order for him to be able to avoid admitting his own racist ideologies. Add to that his ability, and other people’s stupidity, to arouse others to hateful sentiment against his opponent….though he gets all of his surrogates to do this for him so that people can say Obama’s hands are “clean”. Add to this the fact that he continually encourages and accepts a bunch of “old washington” insiders to support him, when his campaign is supposed to be about changing old washington…..how does this happen when the people you have supporting you are all a part of old washington??? Add to this the fact that he not only supported his crazy minister and his weird ideologies, but Obama also clearly believed in at least some of them otherwise he would never have subjected his children to this nonsense for so many years.

No, Obama is not an unknown person. He is exactly the same kind of politcian that we already know exists. He just comes in a different color and has been kept relatively insulated (until recently) from negative press by a group of very dedicated and unscrupulous left wing supporters who are seeking to force their own agenda upon the american people. The republicans are not people we need to fear most; it’s Obama that we need to keep mindful of at this point. Any republican would be better than this guy.

Who knows Hillary. THe baby boomer generation?. Younger voters know nothing about her and if you research you can find some stuff that makes Wright, Rezno and Ayers look lame. She was a republican until she married BIll. And her stances on the middle class, the war, NAFTA and other things only changed when she started running for Presidency. I don’t know about real experience but she has been around a while. So if she’s been around so long and she has so much experience how come she hasn’t tackled some of these issues before now. She was in a position to do so. Wake up folks. She’s conning you again. Trying to buy your vote like she’s doing with a couple of dollars saved for gas that will put workers out of job. COme on America. Its the issues that matter. Hillary will be, do, and say antything it takes to get a vote. Hasn’t she proved that already. You don’t trust her. So why vote for her.

Certainly Obama is someone who has proven to be more resilient and strong in the face of great adversary. Lets remember he does not have the luxury of his spouse’s presidency. He also does not rely on his spouse’s achievements. He has done it all by himself, and is winning more and more people.

Today one of Clinton’s supporters switched, which is not surprising, given Hillary’s negativity, false claims and absurd smear campaign. When one of your friends leaves and joins your opponent, you know there is something SERIOUSLY WRONG with you. And she is losing more and more from her camp.

Wishful thinking. Beyond blacks and liberal whites, BO’s support is flimsy. The last NC poll that I saw had him ahead by only five points. If the NC primary goes that way, he’s toast.

This is a good article. The fact is, he has no experience, which speaks for itself.

He has rode on the white horse of voting against the war, failed to mention the important fact that he stayed away from voting for controversial matters in the senate. So what the heck did he do for 2 years?

This man is completely riding on things that really don’t matter when it comes to substance. I am fearful because if we really do want to vote a dem in office, how is this man going to win against McCain, who is very popular with both the media and much of working class America?

My feeling is that the Americans have let him get this far because as a country we want to get past skin color. This is a positive thing. However, why not wait until the candidate has the experience needed to run our country, irrespective of race?

On one hand we claim this “race” is not about “race”, but can you really say that it is not, given the fact that this man has 3 things in his favor: articulateness, education, and brown skin?

Obama is an opportunist! He disowned his preacher for election. You can not trust him!

Well. who is Ed Rollins? Nothing but a right-wing strategist who is continuing the fear mongering that the Repubs started to derail the campaign of Obama? Why? Because they are afraid to run against him with McCain as their nominee. Well, the fear card won’t work this time as it did in 2004. Barack Obama is a brillant man, who is TRYING to run a different kind of campaign. A campaign that is free of mud-slinging. A kind of campaign that the Repubs. know nothing about. Oh,by the way, Ed it is Democratic Primary and Democratic District. Make sure you say it that way from now on.

Barack Obama has used his adult life to distort his childhood, his school years, his grandmother, his father, his supporters and now his mentor, close friend and pastor. If someone ask questions about his honesty and character, he considers himself being victimized. He is a good orator and says things that people hope is true and then uses these believers for his own political purposes.
He is really a pathic wanna- be politican who will say and do anything to gain the approval of voters.
It is so sad that so many people have believed this man with his bogus promises of hope and change.
A vote for Clinton is certainly more rational. Obama is a weakling.

Right on point, Ed. Mr. Obama is a fraud and a liar. A so-so orator with no experience, who promises hope and unification. Who does he plan to unite? Ayres, Wright and Rkeso? I’m sorry, did I forget Farachan?

Do we really want to know anything about Barack Obama other than he is African-American, in his mid-40s, overwhelmingly won the Senate Democratic seat in Illinois, is opposed to everything that Hillary Clinton is in support of, articulate speaker. Nope we don’t want to know anything else, why should we?

Who is Obama? Hummmmmm……

Obama is a person who thinks he can talk his way to White House.

Obama is a person who will throw anybody under the bus to get what he wants.

Obama is a person who thinks white will think he’s white and black will think he’s black.

Obama is a person who lectures people.

Obama is a person who thinks 18 months senate experience is enough to run the most important government in the whole world.

One of my foreign friend asks me “ I guess if 18 months senate experience is enough to run the U.S. government, I don’t think U.S. standard is that high, isn’t?’ I need some help to answer this question.

He is someone that does not want anymore people to die in iraq, he is someone that brings honesty to the white house, he is someone that is tired of our elected officals in washington not doing their jobs, he is someone that knows that we can not transfer something we have not got, he is someone that believes justice is for all, he is someone that can operate a coffey machine, and he is someone who will not tell you that saving 30 bucks in 3 months on gas is a wonderful saving, HE IS YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. They have all been there and look where we are? he is someone that can do no worst,and from where I sit I can see we have nowhere to go but up?

No one will know who the real Obama is , if he can claim the Rev. Wright as a family member, but not know him is scary, when he wants too talk too country’s that hate america how will his judgement be then, this is something the american people need too think about.
Obama never disowned the Rev. Wright until it he thought it could hurt his chances at the white house.
Obama wants too be america’s friend, people overlook the flaws in their friends and that is what Obama is hoping for in his campaign.
He really should have followed in his mentor’s, (Rev.Wright’s) foot steps and became a preacher, he’s good at conning the public with his speaches, but falls flat on his face when he is questioned about his screw-ups.

I heard this morning that the Clinton campaign is supporting and financing the Rev. Wright’s attack on Obama. Any comment?

Is it better to be lucky or experienced?

Barack Obama is exactly who he is and not the person so many want him to be; he’s inexperienced; he’s a guy who looks good in a suit; he’s articulate; he talks a good game; he actually writes a good game; he’s a self promoter; he hasn’t accomplished much that would be worthy of a book but heck why not write one or two any way; he is a follower; a follower of his wife then a follower of Rev. Wright; he is a man who was in a lousy financial position until he got a book advance; he wants political change but hangs out with the Kennedys; he wants people to come together but then for twenty years supports the devisive Rev. Wright; he’s meek; he’s weak; he hangs with Tony Rezko; he had a $8000 monthly retainer from a Chicago entrepreneur who he then gave hundreds of thousands of dollars of Tourism Board money to; if he was in corporate America, he would be like so many others; a person with a lot of potential who would be overlooked by less qualified executives; I think he’s kind of like a venture capital company; invest in me because we might just make it together; this late nineties dot com way of thinking does not work; I think some of us know who Obama is.

Unbelivable comments here. If Hillary Rodham Clinton was endorsed by Hamas and their countrymen wrote in American Newspapers that they can’t wait for her to be nominated President - would it not send a Red Flag for you? I should think so….

Well start hoisting the Stars and Stripes as this is all took place but the subject of the story was Obama! Wake Up People! If you think terrorists are scary miles away just imagine how scary they will be right in the USA!

This election, I fear, has become a matter of voting for the lesser of three evils. You have the GOP running behind a war-hawk like John McCain, you have Hillary Clinton with her money-spending policies and flip-flopping antics, and you have Obama’s mirror-image policies with some of Hillary’s beliefs.

Merely because I am disgusted with what the GOP has become and because Obama is a little bit more tolerable, I will be voting for him coming November.

seems as if he spent more time campaigning for office than he did actually working on behalf of the people of Illinois. he wasn’t known as a person of change here in Illinois and wasn’t known as being different than any other political figure. If you hire someone based on what they promise and how well they interview, then YES, he’s a good candidate for the job. But if you hire someone who has actually walked the walk and done what they say they believe in, then no, I just don’t see on what credibility people are basing their support of him.

Why have we waited until now to be asking these questions?

Where was the main stream media 6 months to a year ago?

We didn’t have this many who are incapable of their own governance making up the supporters of an elitist nobody who is the exact oppposite of corrupt “change”…what specific progressive regressions do we owe this abandonment of what works?? More importantly, how do we get back to a semblance of sanity!?

For the last 8 years we the people have suffered under what is probably the most inept President in US history - G..W.Bush. If his goal was to see just how much he could mess up in America I would say he excelled at reaching that goal.

Now after Bush can we as a nation really afford to elect someone as inexperienced as Obama to the Presidency?? To clean up and fix all the things that Bush and Cheney have done in the past 8 years plus cope with current crises shouldn’t we be looking at someone with a lot more experience than Obama has? Obama might make a good president one day but he needs more experience before that - the Presidency doesn’t come with an instruction manual.

Mr. Rollins cracks me up.

Obama: Inexperienced and therefore not fit?! Consider the following:

Cheney, Powell et al were all very experienced. Bush claimed to be a savvy business manager. Did not quiet work out this experience? Lincoln had very little experience when he became the President. Does Mr. Rollins have an explanation?

Hillary is implied to be experienced. Then Mr. Rollins should explain the following: Ms. Clinton started the primary season as the heir presumptive with all the right insider and power broker connections, with claims to lots of experience and wisdom and thus a sure shoo in as the Democrat party nominee. Then she lost her lead to an inexperienced unknown, ran into funding and organizational problems and started becoming increasingly extremist and demagogic in her views. Now she claims that she is an underdog!
Her campaign so far has been equivalent to a dominant company that starts out with high market share but with competition starts losing markets share, then runs into liquidity and solvency problems that lead to organizational turmoil which then is followed by distress sales and appeals for state subsidies and lamentation about the risk of losing the crown jewel of the corporate sector.

Barrack Hussein Obama has been exposed as a TRUE politician. He sways with the wind. If tomorrow rev wright got backing and it was proven that he really isnt a racist then Obama would make a televised prime time speach as he will blame the media for driving him into a corner to go against wright!
Political posturing is Obamas strong suit. He is an oportunist,doesnt believe in anything! He has become the smooth and proven liar; kind of like a good attorney?

Mr. Rollins, I think you are being a bit tough on him by implying this talented man ,who has spent much of his adult life as a public servant, has no accomplishments.

Ed, Ed, Ed,

Remember the “old” Clinton slogan, “It’s the economy stupid”? In 2008, “It’s change….” The “old” and “very old” and familiar we know all to well. White or yellow washing this excellent race is not going to work. That’s “old”, too.

Take a look at Rev. Wrights sermons and the fact that Obama sat in his pew for 20 years and actually took his two young daughters to that church to hear such racial hatred.

Then look at the slum lords in Chicago.

Then look at his empty record in the Senate in both Illinois and Washington DC.

Then look at how many meetings he has called on Afgahnastain. ZERO.

Then look at how he was unable to answer questions in his last debate, especially the follow-up questions.

The “true” Obama is right before everyones eyes. Obama is a fake candidate who has the ability to deliver a speach.

America needs a President who can stand up to our foreign enemies, solve our infra-sturcture problems and bring our country out of recession. That candidate is not Obama.

Letter from missionaries in Africa/Obama

Celeste and Loren Davis are Missionaries in Africa and can shed some light on one of our Presidential candidates.
Celeste was married to my (Billy Sam Elliott) first cousin and is the
mother of his three children. She remarried Missionary Loren Davis at Woodville and has been involved in his ministry ever since. They have made numerous mission trips to Africa and actually had their DC-3 shot down on one of their trips.I haven’t seen Celeste in several years, but I communicate with her by e-mail frequently.

Dear Billy Sam,

Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working > in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence(over 350,000) and I don’t know the last count of the dead. Obama under “friends of Obama” gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in east germany . He has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily.As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic, crying rigged election if he doesn’t win and possibly cause a race war in America .

What we would like you to know is what the american press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fullfilllment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July! He is not an american as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is world wide jihad.All our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the mulsim infiltration into their countries. By the way. His true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won’t that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!
God Bless you.

Pray for us here in Kenya . We are still fighting for our nation to
withstand the same kind of as sult that every nation, including America, is fighting. Takeover from the outside to fit the new world order. As believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya , not one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, burned alive. Jesus Christ is our peace but the new world order of Globalism has infiltrated the church and confused believers into thinking that they can compromise and survive. It won’t be so. I will send you a newsletter we sent out in February documenting in a more cohesive manner what I’ve tried to say in a few paragraphs.
Love, Celeste

Celeste and Loren Davis

I know who Obama is, he is the next UNITED STATES PRESIDENT I think it is sad when all of you people acts as though Obama commited some kind of crime. I am willing to bet that all of you have something that someone knows about you and you are afraid they will expose you also. No one is perfect, except maybe Bush. Oh, I forgot, he went AWOL during his time in the military, managed to take screw up any business his dad started for him, will go down in history as the worst governor of Texas, signed the death penalty to more criminals then any other states, including to the mentally retarted, took us into a war for the sake of “winning” lied and said we are winning the war on terror,need I say more?You are so afraid that we have the opportunity to have someone more decent in the WHITE HOUSE and someone who knows what all of us are experiencing. High unemployment, loosing our homes, high gas prices, no health care and living from pay check to pay check. Answer this question? What have the last 8 years of Bush taught us. That he will take our country into a war that was not ours from the start. We are fighting with the wrong people, Where is Bin Ladin? Somewhere laughing at how we are so divided.

Obama is getting a raw deal. The whole Rev. Wright ordeal gets 6 days of press but Clinton’s outright lies … “oh, my, sniper filer?” … that means nothing. If Obama does not get the nomination it is because the press (and to point a direct finger at Fox) have been tossing him under the bus! He cannot possibly control what Wright does or says. Have you not ever known someone who hit some mild life crisis and flip out? The press can make or break any person. My question is why? Blame it on Wright? No … blame it on the press! Come up with some new news please!!!!

He is most likely much like you and me, but smarter, more gracious, steadfast, convicted, professional, kind, altruistic, and most of all PRESIDENTIAl. And just like you and I, he probable didn’t mold his character after his once a week ministerial sermon. Come on get off of it now. Let’s talk more about someone who blatantly told a grandiose “uh let’s see oh yeah the word was MISSPEAK” an outrageous bold face lie to the entire country. You just don’t forget something like “hostile fire” while traveling in a foreign land with your your young daughter. I want the entire media to get back on THAT TOPIC for a good week or more after all Cybil, I mean Hillary deserves equal time. What a pathetic phony… man she has a different face and persona for each state. I have seen her rodeo, guzzle booze, ride tractors, endorse guns, whatever it takes she will say it … you may think it makes her “strong” as I see it it only makes her goofy and shallow, not to mention insulting the intelligence of most Americans.

Come on! It’s a campaign. You don’t see the same thing with Obama?
The man went bowling, for pity’s sake!! He obviously, from his skills, has never even been in a bowling alley. He did it to get votes. That is what a campaign is. Get out and introduce yourself to all kinds of people. Cowboys, barflys, farmers, college students, and, yes, even bowlers.
Goofy and shallow? Goofy is a politician trying to get votes. Shallow is saying Hope and Change but having no plan to accomplish it.

I’m getting really tired of the Obominations bringing up “obliterating” Iran. Have any of you heard the question she was answering?

“What would you do if Iran used a nuclear weapon on Israel?”

What would Barack’s reply to that question be?

“I would ask Iran to CHANGE and HOPE that they would do that for me.”
