Barack Obama’s Closing Arguments
Barack Obama delivered his “closing arguments” speech in Indiana today, accompanied by his whole family for the first time since Iowa. “I have no illusions about how far we have to go; our road is still long. Our climb is still steep. But fifteen months later, I also know that our mission is even more urgent because the challenges facing people across Indiana and the country are growing by the day,” he told a crowd of several hundred in a small Indianapolis auditorium.
With just three days before the Tuesday elections, Obama is barnstorming Indiana this weekend with stops throughout the state. “When you’re running for president you make certain assumptions that people after 15 months really know who you are and then you realize well maybe there are still a whole bunch of folks who don’t know who you are and - despite the fact that you’re on TV every day and so I think it’s really important for me to make sure that we’re out there as much as possible,” he told reporters yesterday.
As his lead in both Indiana and North Carolina dwindle to a few points and his lead in the national polls has disappeared, Obama has the burden to convince voters that he is not an elitist, as he believes he’s been caricatured by his opponents and the media, and that he does not espouse the beliefs of his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. And, as he said yesterday, he has to change the subject. “What we’ve been trying to do is to make sure that we refocus on what matters to people. You know, I think the American voters don’t want a whole bunch of drama. What they’re looking for is - can you solve my problems or can you help me so that I can solve my own problems?”
Which is why Obama is reminding Indianans what he believes this election is about. “That’s why the only way a black man named Barack Obama who was born in Hawaii, and started his career on the streets of Chicago, is standing before you today, and that’s the only way I can win this race – if you decide that you’ve had enough of the way things are; if you decide that this election is bigger than flag pins or sniper fire and the comments of a former pastor – bigger than the differences between what we look like or where we come from or what party we belong to.”

Too little and too late.
Obama flip-flops. First: never heard sermons Second: heard sermons can’t disown his Rev. Third: Disown Rev. Doesn’t like middle income people, thinks we are gun toting, clinging to religion.
HILLARY R. CLINTON THE MORE AMERICA COMES IN CONTACT WITH HER THE MORE THEY LOVE HER AND BELIEVE HER TO BE THE BEST PRESIDENT.
AS OPPOSE TO OBAMA, THE MORE AMERICANS COMES IN CONTACT WITH HIM THE MORE THEY SEE THERE IS NO SUBSTANCE, ONLY PIE IN THE SKY IDEALISM. HOPE, CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN ETC.ETC.ETC.
YES, WE HOPE REV. WRIGHT, AND HIS RIGHT BRAIN TEACHINGS ON BARACK HAVE NOT COMPLETELY TWISTED OBAMA’S EGOISTIC THOUGHTS, AS THEY HAVE THE REV’S.
Hillary R. Clinton., A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE who speaks about issues that relate to current affairs and issues that affect us in the real world. And not some futurist time!
She is a STRONG LEADER, with proven RECORD and a CHAMPION for all American
and not just the elite or the special racial issues, but for everyone which includes the racial and elites.
She will be a PRESIDENT, who will be READY ON DAY ONE , for the most important job in the world. Her resume is impressive and her ability to work across party lines has been proven effective.
As president, her WORD will be her BOND, and they will not just be words, but action which comes from the trust and truth of her convictions to be for the people of America and that is why they will make her the first female president to change history and take America and the world on a better course.
As Commander in Chief, she will not permit anyone to lord it over America’s political friends and she will back up any attack on America or her global partners with equivalent attack or even more progressive to put a complete stop to their terrorism…
GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS H.R.CLINTON AND GOD BLESS OUR BEAUTIFUL WORLD!
Sounds like he is shooting himself in the foot. Is this his exit stategy? I thought he was trying to put that stuffe behind him.
Did he mention his friends Ayres, Cones, Sinclair, Auchi, Reyes, Rezko, etc. Did someone tell him where the Great Lakes are located. (not Oregon) Did someone ask him why he was so slow (20 yrs. plus) to understand what his mentor, father figure was saying? Did someone ask him how he could be running for president and stay married to a woman who hates this country (unless of course he feels the same way). Did someone ask how he could have campaigned for his cousin who burned black christians alive in their church? Bet that was some picnic!
LOL! The only message here is that he is reading the news stories, blogs and polls–and of course he had to remind everyone once again that he is black.
I did not hear the entire speech. Did he get another plug in for his books? He has in almost every other speech I have heard him give.
Come on IN and NC, please send this racist empty suit back to Chicago.
Black preachers like Jeremiah Wright have set race relations back 50 years. I was really blindsided by this one. As for an Obama vote? Liberal fascist! Never!
I am not surprised that there is not one Obama supporter on this site. It will be a great day in America when everyone is treated equally but that’s a dream.
It should not be white or black, rich or poor, Republicans or Dems but one America. We should choose the best person to lead us and not by the standards we use today.
Until there is a drastic change in the mentality of the people; there will continue to be a void that divides us.
Why is it said “The United States Of America” when this country is so divided? Is it better to tear down each other than to build on the strength of each other?
It is a sad state of affairs but we reap what we sow and I see we have very far to go before we as a nation come together for the betterment of all people.

to us4000ad agree Obama is just a Liberal fascist!
What I would really like to know is “who is bank-rolling this nut”—he is not a patriot, nor is his wife, pastor, friends–he seems to have endless cash–someone wants this ‘follower’ in for ulterior motives—scares the heck out of me!!!
It is a wise man who can re-evaluate a situation, admit he was wrong, and change his mind.
Versus the same old status quo year after year without listening to reasoning from even his own generals. “SO?!” Or the very people he was elected to represent.
Tis far braver to come from where this man comes from, to do the things he has done, to be born in to it or married in to.
Obama went to Catholic school too don’t forget, and 11 of the past years were spent in congress both nationally and in Illinois and NOT at the church were Wright formerly preached.
I do not believe for one minute, that thousand of Chicago residents, including Oprah, lined the streets waiting to get in to this church for week after week of hate speach. This is one power crazy man, invited by Hillary’s supporter to a dinner, just in time for a primary she was sorely loosing in. It makes NO SENSE for him to hurt Obama this way does it?
I, for one, will vote for change! We know what the past brought us, and he is the ONLY one who can help heal and better this country in the world and locally.
Out with the dirty politics of the past, renew hope in Amercia.
Facts are a stubborn thing. Obama cannot close his 20 year old relationship with Wright because there is so much video evidence against it. On the TV program THE VIEW, Obama declared that Reverend Wright accepted that his view were inappropriate and mischaracterized. That it had offended many people. Then weeks later Wright goes on a national Hate America Press Tour? This was a blatant lie. Or worse, Obama was fooled by Wright which is kind of scary. That a possible next president can be played by a character such as Wright. Check the video evidence yourselves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6J7yJ9R5p0
Now if you follow the polls you will see that alot of white working class folk are starting to see past the media hype of Obama, now six months is a long time in politics but the closets not even been opened but a crack yet, Ayres, Cones, Sinclair, Auchi, Reyes, Rezko, etc. As a MI Democrat who’s vote doesn’t count, the rules are the rules and all(MI Party F’d up,FL thats STATE politics at work and the DNC needs to fix it) I think that given all of the infomation that has come out in the media in the past six weeks it would be a good idea for the SDs all to take a stepp back and remember that Obama has never, I mean never faced the Republican machine in an election. As I said SIX months is a long time in politics!!! WE THE POEPLE do not desurve to be short changed in a rush to appiont any nominee, we need more time(and more debates, I predict only 2 in the GE if Obama is the choosen one) to find out more about Obama.
Really American in Canada? Since you know so much, why did Hillary lie about Rezco. And help me understand the Peter Paul case.
I guess the “American Dream” is only for some people. If Obama had never joined that church, never knew Rezko, Ayers, member of the Underground and looked like a poor man would he then qualify for running for president? Yeah, right….the nerve of a black man running for president of the United States ….what a nerve.
You guys better make sure Hillary’s and McClain closets are clean before you start passing judgement.
Virginia, you are scared to turn your t.v. on and see a black man in the Oval Office. For once a black man can change this country and you would rather stay with old Washington. Man, you white people talk about Rev. Wright. It’s people like you that keep the Rev. Wright, Al Sharpton and Farrakhan talking. Hate and hate will always meet. That is why you are on this site. You can talk your racist comments Virginia, but you cannot say it in front of somebody. And please don’t say your best friend is black.
Dorothy, it’s not. Hillary lied about her knowledge when it comes to Rezco. She is not for the union. Sat on the board of Walmart and had a member say, “Union members are the lowest of human species.”
Marc can you not see that Obama is just another of the wolfs he just wearing the sheeps clothing at the moment.
Here we have Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi running around worrying that a long drawn out democratic race will ruin the party.
When exactly the opposite is happening.
They can not see the benefits of this race that has given the candidates the opportunity to visit almost every state in America.
Clinton and Obama have met more citizens than John McCain can every hope to meet on a one to one basis.
The DNC worries that the candidate, whomever she may be, will not have enough time to get out and campaign for the November General Election…
Take Note Dean and Pelosi and DNC:
This is the November General Election, all the people have to do now is show up in November and vote for either McCain, or Clinton, (or/and Obama if he happens to win)
This is a perfect scenario of completely introducing the Democratic candidates to the American people.
It is perfect!
Do you think there is anything more the people need to know lets say about the difference between McCain and Clinton…
They already know where each stands on the Iraq war, the economy, the health care issue, education, etc. etc. etc-tara…
So, come the November General Elections, all the two winning candidates will have to do is have two or three [UNBIASED DEBATES] and let the citizens decide……..
Very Very Simple!!! Stop ringing your hands Dean and Pelose!
A Democrate will win the General Elelection and that will be Hillary R. Clinton…. ALL IS GREAT AND GOD IS IN HEAEN!
David, you are wrong. Hillary lied about Rezco. She lied about the lady that had no insurance. She lied about calling Canada. NAFTA, CAFTA. How much can we go on. Then her no gas tax. She couldn’t really talk about it so she gets one of her seregates. Steve Elmendworf. I think that is how you spell his last name. Do you know who he is David? He is a lobbiest for guess what company,
SHELL!
And what is this ‘wolf’ in sheeps clothing going to do?
Turn us all Muslim?
Lynch all the white men?
Bring peace and respect between the US and the Middle East?
HE is white too don’t forget! He is American. None of us are ‘pure’ anything!
Come on people, you are smarter then that aren’t you?
HILLARY R. CLINTON THE MORE AMERICA COMES IN CONTACT WITH HER THE MORE THEY LOVE HER AND BELIEVE HER TO BE THE BEST PRESIDENT.

American in Canada, Hillary just keeps following McCain. I forgot, Hillary use to be a Republican under then Sen. Goldwater. Right. McCain talks about no gas tax, here comes Hillary. Hillary say’s she is ready since day one, McCain is ready since day one and Obama just had a speech. She sounds like she wants to go to bed with McCain. Wait till she has to go to court.
Didn’t REV WRIGHT say it best when he said that Obama was a politican.
They are all wolfs in sheeps clothing when its election time, Obama just happens to have the best costume

******************
Do you mean Rezco that Obama is fully invested in.. Is that the same Rezco that purchased the land next door to Obama’s mansion in Chicago?
Now as far as Clinton vs Paul do you not think that the infamous Andrienne Hunnington and her extreme liberal site and pro-Obama would not be all over this…
Come on people research and when in doubt research more.
And since you are wrong, I expect you all to vote for H.R. Clinton (smile)
Unless you are ready for America to become a Third World Country, continue to vote and keep the nonsense going. What Mother Nature is taking away from you, the rich and powerful will take what’s left in poor government policies and fighting in the White House. You go figure. If you have more months at the end of the month without enough money to get you to the first of the month, then continue to do the same old insane thing. If the experience candidates had your interest in mind, they would have done something longtime ago instead of letting things go this far in this country. Being a LEADER cost nothing. They were there all these years, so why didn’t they stand up to lead? It doesn’t take twenty plus years to learn Washington. What concerns me the most is that you see so many educated people that are deemed uneducated in their actions but yet as still, they want to force other people to make unsound decisions. You find it so easy to complaint instead of applying good sense knowledge. If you are not going to use your education, then try to use some type of common sense. My hat goes off to someone that is trying to make stubborn people to see the future in a brighter way to best benefit them and to take the human damage to them in order to make it happen for you. Senator Obama has more strength to put up with it and to make the change for everybody. The problem that I see, you feel that your cheese will be move in which probably wasn’t yours in the beginning because you are keeping the hate, the fear, and the negative going to protect it. This is not normal people. It’s time to be decent, fair, peaceful, and normal again America. Have we forgotten how to do this?
I’m sorry, but you mean Hillary. She is a crook in crooks clothing.
You gotta see MSNBC. They are really laying it thick on Hillary. What a lowlife.
Marc last time I checked this country was a slightly right of center kinda place and by that I mean that most most poeple don’t believe in the crap that comes out of both the extreme RIGHT or LEFT. I agree that Clinton and McCain are closer politically than either Obama/Clinton or Obama/McCain, but this is because like most of the poeple they represent the center, Obama comes from the Left.
Remember David, unless you are a CEO, McCain and Hillary are for big business. Remember, Hillary is a very big supporter of H1B visas. Obama is against so many junk that they have to make him look bad. You can only find three things negative on Obama. I counted 12 for Hillary.
Go to bed with McCain first aaahhhh and next hahahaha
Seriously speaking about sex with McCain is just mean..
But of course, I understand that if you are a vet you have free prescription to Viagra.
Let’s try to maintain some decorum and keep any converation about McCain above the belt line…
McCain and I hate to say this because is sounds mean, but what the hell!!
McCain reminds me of the popular movie… NO PLACE FOR OLD MEN
So, I am asking you to support H.R. Clinton in the General Elections, you know she has the goods to deliver…. I know you know…
And remember it is God Bless America, not …………
Oh god, you have to go to MSNBC. She is such a con-artist.
Reverend Rod Parsley believes America was founded to destroy Islam. Since this is such an outlandish claim, I have to add for the record, that he is not kidding. Reverend Parsley says Islam is an “anti-Christ religion” brought down from a “demon spirit.” Of course, we are in a war against all Muslims, including presumably Muslim-Americans. Buts since Parsley believes this is a Christian nation and that it should be run as a theocracy, he is not very concerned what Muslim-Americans think.
John McCain says Reverend Rod Parsley is his “spiritual guide.”
If you feel so strong American, why are you in Canada. Hmmmmmm
Obama, who claims to be an intellectual, just doesn’t get it that people know he fully supported Wright and what he was preaching for 20 years. I do not believe that Obama does not harbor some of those same beliefs as Wright.
Michelle and Dohrn worked together in the same law firm and NOW Obama wants us to believe that he had no association with Ayers? I suppose in all of Obama’s schooling he never heard of the Weather Underground or Ayers? I suppose he would want us to believe he had never heard of the Black Panthers as well?
Jerry Falwell said America had 9/11 coming because we tolerated gays, feminists and liberals. It was our fault. Our chickens had come home to roost, if you will. John McCain proudly received his support and even spoke at his university’s commencement.
and pastor to the presidents Billy Graham Said
In 2002, however, newly released “Richard Nixon tapes” confirmed remarks made by Graham three decades earlier to President Richard Nixon. As seen on the tapes, Graham agreed with Nixon that Jews controlled the American media, calling it a “stranglehold” during a 1972 conversation with Nixon.[15] “This stranglehold”, he continued, “has got to be broken or the country’s going down the drain,”
Is there a double standard here? Why is Obama guilty by association and not capable of being judged on his actions?
Poor Baby Barack
Playing the race card again…
Poor Baby Barack
I swear I did not know about Wright
Poor Baby Barack
But, I’m afriad of an open debate, what does that mean?
Poor Baby Barack
You are still eating pablum, America can not afford to put another weak leader in the White House.
Poor Baby Barack
Your 8 years old probably know that after kindergarten when we all learned to share and share alike in politics it is the strongest, most intelligent, most experienced person that wins it all, and that is H.R. Clinton.
Poor Baby Barack
Your rack of ribs are ready, go home and have a meal on us!
My heart goes out to Obama and his family. They have become the victims of the Clinton “old politics” political machine. I really think we American people are ready for a change in policies and practices. Obama is a sincere, decent man with no choice of skin color. However, his opponents have been quick to keep the focus on his crazy old preacher and therefore racial issues. What about their baggage(lies,adultery. saber rattling,gimmick gas tax holiday)? Obama’s campaign has been a true example of good planning and management and many of us support him 100%. I hope the people of Indiana and North Carolina will give him a chance. LaDonna in WV

It is an assignment and Canadians love Americans as you probably know if you ever visited this huge country, you know your friendly neighbor and brother in arms against America’s enemies…
sorry Marc I meant American working in Canada, but there are also a lot of Americans working in America also, LOL

Stay real, Obama and his family have become a victim of Rev. Wright’s church and if the media had fulfilled its’ obligation to report the news for the American people, we would have know about Obama, Wright, Rezco etc.etc. and he would not even be in this position.
As far as I see it, the extreme right liberal wing has stolen Edwards position in this race to the White House… It is not old politics because if it had been Obama would have been vetted on day one…..
So, LaDonna, Obama is not getting the support of the Democratic because he is not who he says he is, he has no business coming on the Public Scene before he was ready, and as you know he is not ready….. BEFORE THE GREAT FALL, COMES PRIDE!
Marc, One reason no one is saying much about falwell is because he is dead. Just exactly what has he said that would compare to wright?
Those jobs probably would have opened up in NY had Bush not stolen the election.

It should not be white or black, rich or poor, Republicans or Dems but one America. We should choose the best person to lead us and not by the standards we use today.
Until there is a drastic change in the mentality of the people; there will continue to be a void that divides us.
Why is it said “The United States Of America” when this country is so divided? Is it better to tear down each other than to build on the strength of each other?
It is a sad state of affairs but we reap what we sow and I see we have very far to go before we as a nation come together for the betterment of all people.
————————————————————————-
Yes and as long as Rev. WRight and Michelle Obama keep putting America down, it will stay that way.
Vote for Hillary Clinton……..she Loves her country!
Obama’s closing arguments should be (1) I really didn’t know my minister for 20 years was a racist, (2) I really didn’t know those shady characters I’ve associated with for years to help my political career were in fact shady characters, (3) my platform for “change” is really much more than just hot air and (4) my wife really does love America! Obama is a real winner!

Obama brought this on himself by associating for 20 years with racists, America haters and terrorists.
Obama had nothing to do with the “planning” in his campaign. His campaign is run by Bill Clinton’s old campain managers.
Obama’s campaign is also run by the top lobbyists in America.
When I have to give a speech, I look up slogans, other speeches, famous sayings, anything that I think will add to my speech. I see nothing wrong with borrowing ideas to supplement ones own. Sometimes it is a complement. (Unless they are copying an entire speech verbatim).
This probably won’t get forwarded since it is not praising H. Clinton. When I saw Barak and Michelle interviewed by Viera this morning, they made so much sense. He won’t bring up H.Clinton’s “baggage” because he believes that that is “old politics”. He and H. Clinton defend themselves through and about their ads - that will continue after a nominee is determined also.
The choice would not be so difficult if the two of them weren’t both good. The competition would not go on so long if they weren’t both capable. The only real question one needs to answer is whether you want change in the way Washington operates voting for someone with a fresh approach surrounded by new faces in Washington, or experience with little to no change.

So far the only racist comments on here are against whites. Referring to the “white people”. Whatever, that is the way it has been ever since Obama started this race crap. Marc, did you know “if” Obama is actually against visas, which I personally have never heard him say. Is because there will be no need, he is for amnesty. So why would they need visas. He wants to just let everyone become citizens and stay. And you might want to inform all the unions backing Hillary that she is against them. Do you actually even know what the president can or cannot do without congress? Go to war or stop war. Otherwise all laws, etc come from congress. Hollie7, is Nixon running again? Wow I thought he got impeached years ago. Can either of you tell me what Obama’s big “change” is? And then how he plans to do it. That might help me see why people think he is the candidate of change, other than that it is his motto. I haven’t ever heard anything that he plans to change. That is the scary part I wanted change of some type this year, but none of the 3 show an ability to change anything. They are all senators and have been for quite some time, so why didn’t they change anything while there? When they were actually in the branch of our government that can make changes. Obama is just not ready that is why so many of the older delegates are backing him, they know they can push him around and he will owe them favors. At least with McCain or Hillary, they can’t be pushed. So for me until there is a candidate that doesn’t just talk change with nothing to back it up, I will stick with what we are dealt and keep praying.
Obama is a good man. I believe in him.
Unfortunately, there are lots of racist, small minded people in the United States - as evidenced by the ignorant, unintelligent ramblings of some fo these posts.
Hopefully, they will not prevail & the actions and thinking of intelligent, compassionate, fair minded, thoughtful people will.
to all you obama haters and right wing loons. geo. bush has taken you ignorant people for a ride the last 8 yrs. and hillary is nothing but more of the same . its called globalzation you know it all fools. you people are so sure of yourselves its sickening. now dig your way out this sewer bush is going to leave you. in two yrs its going to all fall down. you people and your arrogance amazes me. you have not been humbled yet. this bush admin has robbed you in front of your own eyes . and all you right wing loons do is piss and moan and put the blame on the poor and less fortunate people. you have started a war in iraq and now you know it is another vietnam. and bush and his money hungary folks we leave this mess to the next admin. while they laugh all the way to the bank. while the veterans come home and continue to suffer . a VETERAN SHOULD WANT FOR NOTHING. bush, exxon mobil, halliburton/kbr, opec, and saudi arabi, should pony up for a super fund to remiburse the american troops for fighting to protect your oil fields. saudi’s while you build your airbus airplanes made out of solid gold and your cities in the sand. now hate on this you right wing loons. you’ve turned a blind eye to the real crooks you [ judasgoats] . you goats ain’t seen nothing yet and when its time to go over the cliff you know it will be to late to turn around . playa hate on this fox. this is my opinion. and my right to speak it so print this its truth.
One other thought from this article. It says he said he was born in Hawaii. Didn’t that “change” before he was born in Kansas and moved to Hawaii.
Hillary’s closing arguments should be (1) I can be trusted, (2) I am not my husband’s long-time sexual enabler, (3) I have never committed perjury before a grand jury, (4) I stayed with my husband out of true love and not personal ambition and (5) I am not a ruthless, self-centered politician! Hillary is a real winner!

I think it’s interesting that if you don’t support Obama you are a racist. What if you just don’t like his uber-liberal views? I don’t believe him…I think he is playing “politics as usual” and that has nothing to do with his color or mine. He and his wife were members of that church for 20 YEARS! He is lying and turning on his pastor for political purposes…how is that so different from any other politician? I am also college educated…don’t assume all who oppose Obama are uneducated, gun toting, religious nuts, nor that those are mutually exclusive.
IM AMAZED THE FOX CROWD PRAISES HILLAWITCH FOR HER EXPERIENCE, YEAH SHE HAS EXPERIENCE AS A POLITICIAN WHICH ENTAILS THAT SHE IS A LIAR AND A MANIPULATOR DONT YOU SEE HOW SHE CHANGES FROM ONE STATE TO THE OTHER LIKE SHES SOME SORT OF CYBORG TRYING TO IDENTIFY WITH EVERYBODY, SHE’S JUST PUTTING IN WORK AND THAT SHE IS GOOD AT BUT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS NOT AS NAIVE AS NON EDUCATED RURAL WHITES THAT MAKE LESS THAN 50K. OBAMA HAS WEAKNESESS BUT ATLEAST THE GUY TRIES TO BE A REAL PERSON NOT A CYBORG.
McCain’s closing argument should be…I have always loved my country and will always put the United States of America first!
Marcos, it appears you are categorizing her supporters as “naive non educated rural whites that make less than 50K,” is that correct? Careful…your elitism is showing.
I agree with you on McCain, TRS…just wish he could keep his facts straight.
Hillary has already been vetted and had everything under the sun thrown at her PRIOR to entering this race. She didn’t run away from it with her tail between her legs and try to play the victim in the media either.
Do you people really know anything about Hillary? Do you know she was a Republican when she first got active in politics? She has been involved with families and children issues since before she married Bill Clinton. She also worked on behalf of migrant workers. She was also an advisor to the judiciary committee during Nixon’s impreachment. She accomplished more on her own when she was much much younger than Obama is now and those accomplishments are verifiable.
For all of Obama’s puffing about his community work, has anyone found anything he accomplished other than his claims of getting people registered to vote one time? He sat on boards collecting salaries. What has he done?????
America is just not read for any black man half or whole to become President. who ever wins this race is going to have the burden of healing the nation of all the racial garbage this campain brought out and the Clintons are the blame. speaking as a black man I know how important the black church in our community and Bill Clintons knows it too and he threw it under the bus, but he also knows that their where a lot of white people which are the majority need just a small speck of dirt to dismiss Obama as a legit candiate for President so he and his wife made Rev. Wright a part of the campain. Little do people like Rush, and Sean and an other conservative know that they are going to make Rev. Wright alot of money off his book deal he’s gonna get of this mess and yes, the conservatives will be first in line to buy his book so they know more about this so called “black leberation theology that this morons have come with and Rev. Wright is gonna put in that book everything that you conservative and Obama haters want to hear so that you can buy the second book just to see more and hate more.
I have the up most respect now for John McCain and the high road he took and also for Mr.Obama.
someone gonna have to clean up this mess and I hope it’s not the Clintons
Well Mr Obama had his day in the piblic eye. To many people have decided they have not liked what they have seen. His only hope is to claim he was ahead for a while. Now that we know more about him we feel cheated. You have to wonder why some networks refuse to report anything negative about this young man. He claims to be a uniter yet look what he has done to the democratic party. How many other politicians will loose their seats because of their assciation with this unqualified young man. Just plain poor judgement. It’s not because he is black it’s because he is not qualified. Their are many well qualified black people. So far none of them has put their hat in the ring.
YES THAT IS WHY THE XBOX “ELITE” IS BETTER THAN THE NON ELITE SUCH AS URSELF
Gosh, I guess you told me…
I suspect the reason Obama and his campaign continue to put all those American flags behind Obama when he gives a press conference is to give some type of subliminal message as to how “presidential” he is?
Is he still avoiding the imbedded press everyday?
IM JUST JOKING ROBIN…………… THE ONLY WAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO LOOSE IS IF MCISANE WINS. KEEP IN MIND HE’S A SENIOR HE NEEDS TO REST AND SPEND TIME WITH HIS GRANDCHILDREN. I DONT KNOW WHAT KIND OF PERSON IT TAKES TO VOTE FOR MCINSANE BUT THE ONES THAT DO FOR HIM ARE KEEPING IN POWER THE SAME FOLKS THAT NEARLY RUINED THIS NATION.
just another white america showing up! why is everything in this country has to be taken into the we whites or said for reel pinks peoples? is obama responsible from his former pastor statement? we peoples just have to let it go and look at our own lives. after all the slavery our ancestors yes ours ancestor all did to the rest of the world? now we are coming to give lessons? with us guys controlling all the medias! were is the democracy? and we call obama facist? who are the real facist? you dont event dear getting a panel on your tv that represent the view of other minorities groups all are well selected, background checks and sure that they are racist. nazy.etc..you think other are stupid or…but the clock is ticking out for you guys and the time will come. and we will find out how it feel to be on the accused bench.I know you wont poste this message again as it is well selected to give stupid pink people brain watched people the true and influence them to think that what people think.
Hillary is in no way fit to be President. She sees that Most of Americans are not stupid and can see right through her lies, so she just fights, argues, and puts up nasty attacks to get into the white house. shes pathetic. im tired of her politics and the Hard Headed people who think that just cause you know someone that his problems are your problems. or that they question weather or not his christian, who cares!!! Stupid hate mongerers! open your minds to change!!!!!
