Obama is a nice guy and if he is the nominee I’ll consider voting for him, however I was disappointed when he broke his campaign promise about using public financing. He is also extremely inexperienced and vulnerable to mudslinging. Finally,his two years in the senate have not given him the channels to get anything done, nor the opportunity to prove he can do anything. Against Obama, I think McCain will win in a mudslide. A better ticket is Clinton/Obama.

I love it how people say that the only reason I could support Obama is because he is a celebrity. I have news for you, I actually know his views, and I like them, and could care less about his “celebrity” status. Did you all seriously fall down the stupid tree and break every damn branch?
Everyone is so freaking closeminded and biased towards their own beliefs, even I am.

Why is it that we can’t remember how things were when we had the Clintons. We talk of them and the things they did, I as an African American can truly say that they did nothing for me and I found it degrating to call him the first black President. Now all we hear is talk about Obama’s name and religion. We all have the name that our parents gave us and you can’t judge someone because of it. Talking about scare tactic, they use his name to link him to the terrorist, she plays on the women’s emotions, I say how can I vote for her. I for one will vote for Obama The Clintons were yesterday and Obama is for tomorrow and the future. A vote for Clinton is a vote for takeing a step backward, and we need to go foward.

It’s funny that when we get back to the issues…The Clinton campaign doesn’t really have anymore substance:
Let’s See What the Experts Say!
Health Care:
95% similar
5% difference: Unmandated vs Patial Mandated (for children)
Hmmmm…Must be some substance there in order to make the comaprison. You make the call?
Education:
100% Get rid of the No Child Left Behind
100% Early childcare investment
100%
Difference:
Obama:
Increase teachers salary
Focused on Early Chilhood
$4000 earned credits in return for re-investing in programs for America.
Clinton: haven’t heard of dollars (No specifics); however, she stated she forgive student loans? “Need specifics on the dollar amount?” How much are you willing to forgive? Who pays for it…the tax payers? Why of course!
Foreign Policy:
Obama:
Father: Kenyan, Mother: White, born in Hawaii, raised in Kenya, Indonesia and America. Met with foriegn dignataries.
Opposed to Iraq war and still does.
Clinton: Met with digitaries of Foriegn countries during Husbands Presidency as First Lady in 1992-2001.
Voted for Iraq war and now opposes it
Critics and Experts agree that that is no real differences in each of their plans; however, there is a fundalmental difference in thier character!

What Senator Obama said, and I quote from his book on page 11 of “The Audacity of Hope” (published in 2006):
“Undoubtedly, some of these views will get me in trouble. I am new enough on the national political scene that I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views. As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if not all, of them.”
If Senator Clinton is going to try to use Senator Obama’s own words against him, the least she can do is quote him correctly and then make the correct translation.
His own words make an entirely different statement and I resent it when people try to take a quote and mangle the wording and translation and then use it out of context. SHAME ON YOU SENATOR CLINTON!
Read the book Senator Clinton and you might learn something. And if you need help translating and understanding Senator Obama’s words accurately, I am happy to help.

Hillary,
My question to you is, WHERE ARE YOUR SPECIFICS? I’ve followed everyone of your speeches and have yey to hear you say anything specific? “In my specific plan,”…”I have set forth a detailed specific plan,”…”In my plan I talk about specific details…?”
Health Care:
How are you planning to mandate my income to make me pay for Health Care? What if I don’t want to be forced into a mandatory (mandated) health care plan? I can’t get through to the IRS to answer the phone, How do I get through to whatever agency will be responsible for enforcing your mandate when I need to OPT Out? What will the fines be? Will you tie them to my assets?
Foriegn Policy:
You give a litnay of places you’e visited as the First Lady, “and made speeches!” By what incumbent posistion did you really make any changes…”Are you telling me that your “WORDS” persuaded these leaders to make change? No that would make you a hipocrit today.
Economics:
What sisde do you really stand for? In Ohio you say “NAFTA is BAD!”…”In New York you say NAFTA is good!”…BTW Upper New York would argue that it was really a good thing!” But more importantly…”Why did you change your stance on NAFTA shortly after leaving the state of OHIO when you landed in TEXAS?
IRAQ
Your vote in the Senate is your own…If you didn’t agree with the War, why didn’t you vote against it? Isn’t that what you are saying to people, “that this is your chance to stand up and vote for what you believe in?”
I’m confused?

Hillary has not identified ONE plan for the advancement of women. Cindy McCain has absolutely nothing to say about the matter, however, Michelle Obama has identified her platform as work / home balance for all women. Barack is a positive role model of what a single mother can be, he’s actually lived it! Ask yourselves, who is REALLY representing us???

The Better Government Association in Illinois speaks out against corruption.
They say Senator Obama is not candid about his long relationship to Rezko. He brought that house from Rezko while Rezko was under investigation. I don’t believe that was good judgement.

Here is an example of what Obama supporters ignore: Obama claims to have a million contributions of MOSTLEY small donations of $5, $10, $25 amounts. True enough; 90% of his campaign contributions are in this range. What you never hear is that they only represent 45% of his overall contributions. That means that 55% OF THE TOTAL came from the other 10%, i.e. corporate money and 527′s. Wake up you dunderheads! Obama is a politician, same as any other. Believe what you want, but verify.
