TO ED……Please remember where the Racist remarks really started…..Ob’ stayed with Wrights’ Church 20 years…..Plus Michelle calling us “Ignorant America……Lets talk a little about taking
things [comments] out of context….Remember “The 100 year deal” McCain said?……
I really think a teenager would have known better…….Then again…..News papers stated
OB’ was going to take the….Nukes off the table…..If that should happen….America would
be sitting ducks for terrorists’ attacks….We don’t believe OB is qualified/experienced enough.
We are Independent voters….We would appreciate it if OB had a little love and respect
for America and Americans…..But really OB’ has a lot of girlish ways ……God Bless America…

Ok ok ok. I have a confession to make to all of you. My conscience is bothering me.
I AM THE PAID BLOGGER FOR THE OBAMA CAMP! I’m sorry but it has been too much fun misleading you guys. This should teach you all a lesson not to trust everything you read. All of you Hillary supporters should know that she has about as much of a chance of winning as McCain does. OBAMA’S MY MAN.

the one thing you don’t want around your house is a black and white thing like a skunk, why would you want it around the white house?

I still believe that if you are against the war the best you could do is vote against funding so our troop,s could start coming home. What i think is obama is not telling us the truth, he does not or not know how to vote against a bill so he vote,s for funding for the war at least hillary is sticking to her vote but obama all he does is vote persent it that all he think,s a president does is vote persent? Look at his record!!

Pat, fair point about war funding. The problem is that if you cut funding, you’re really just hurting the troops. As a result, many who are against the war still feel that it’s important to make sure the troops are fully-funded so long as they are there. You can disagree, of course, but that’s the reason for Obama’s votes on war appropriations.

As for his love of country, I know some former associates of his — very well respected members of the Chicago business community — who have told me that they never knew anyone who loved their country more or talked about patriotism with the depth of feeling that Obama did. This was decades ago. Just something to keep in mind.

I’m just curious why some here think Sen. Obama has been anything less than classy? To me, he seems exceptionally classy. He certainly has maintained a high level of discourse in his campaign and has spoken several times about Sen. McCain’s service to his country. Moreover, unlike the implication here, has never accused his detractors of being racist. Quite the contrary — his campaign has a strict edict against playing the race card. Many in the media have discussed racial issues, of course, but it’s hard to control the media.

The “bitter” comments played well politically, I suppose, but they were taken out of context. He was addressing questions about single-issue voters, and we all know they are out there. His point was that Americans haven’t felt like they had a real voice in economic policy during the last eight years. In the absence of such a voice, they voted on other issues, namely guns and religion. His point wasn’t that people didn’t care about these things (he is, as everyone knows, quite religious himself), but that people would weigh the economy more heavily in their voting patterns if given a real voice. He has publicly apologized for the wording (which really wasn’t so bad, except in soundbite version), but stands by the point: people care about the economy and Washington should listen.

As for the MoveOn ad, it’s not one that anyone’s campaign would have run but (unlike some MoveOn ads) makes a legitimate point. One shouldn’t have high-level campaign staffers moonlighting as paid lobbyists for non-Americans, particularly non-Americans that are of questionable moral character.

I find some Americans are really shameless. If anyone, it is HC who has used the race card over and over. I have the support of ‘hard working white Americans’, and funnily you don’t hear BO supporters saying they gonna vote John Ma Cain in E08 if he loses the primary. I think you’re just bunch of Republicans pretend to be Democrats! Hillary war-mongering comments==republicans?

Well, Typical…I’d be proud to stand with you, even if you are a bitter, angry racist (guess I must be one, too). I agree that Hillary has shown a lot of class…and John McCain is an American hero.
