Obama Camp Disavows Last Year’s ‘Inartful’ Statement on D.C. Gun Law

If Hillary Clinton were smart, she’d distance herself from Obama. If she keeps following him around the campagin trail and is part of his campaign that consist of lies and inaccuracies, then she is no better than him.

Just more BS from the left in their attempts at social engineering to make the USA just like any other 3rd world country. Where the ruling elite live up on high with the rest of us are down here begging for their scraps.

Don’t blame me: I voted for Hillary! (and I WON’T be voting for BHO!) You asked for him, democrats – you keep him.

Obama’s flip-flop pattern is the only consistency this man has. After he takes the position before one set of voters (that they want to hear), he later side steps that position by saying that he was misunderstood, his statements are being taken out of context, or that the attack is simply divisive.

Obama Husain is sure a change. A change every day that is. This guy has no solid oppinion until someone pays him to have one. Did anyone check how much money the gun lobby slipped in as ‘individual contributions’?

I remember the all the mistakes of the Carter presidency and don’t want to go back to them.

The only Constitutional right Obama cares less about than the 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms, is the 4th.
That’s what we saw this week as Obama failed utterly and abysmally to lead our Congress and defend our Constitution against the latest FISA evisceration of our 4th amendment rights.

District of Columbia v. Heller: Ruling today

Im not sure if Ill be around this morning when the USSC issues its ruling on the controversial landmark D.C. v. Heller gun case, so just in case Im not, feel free to use this post to comment on it when it comes in.
SCOTUSb…

“Just more BS from the left in their attempts at social engineering to make the USA just like any other 3rd world country. Where the ruling elite live up on high with the rest of us are down here begging for their scraps.”
Are you kidding? After the Republicans and Bush spent the last 8 years making the gap between the rich and poor bigger than any point in this country’s history, can you honesty say that with a straight face?

Preventing law abiding citizens the right to protect their lives and property from death and theft by banning handguns is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Since the ban the murder rate in DC has remained fairly steady with that of the country where no such bans were enacted. It is a very simple and basic fact that criminals can get their hands on guns from neighboring states, so what good does the ban do if criminals still have guns? People need a history lesson on why the 2nd amendment was written in the first place, yes to protect the individual from others, but more so to protect the individual and the state from a over powerful Federal Government. It’s time to wake up America as to why they want to take your gun rights away, there was a reason we received liberties in the Constitution, we need to step back and see that the US is starting to become what the founders were escaping from England- where the rulers create the laws for the exploitation of others.

sonia trevino: I believe everyone should read the Constitution, paying special attention to the various Articles and Amendments which the current administration has abused and discarded like so much White Cloud.

Obama is just a Liar….liar liar your Pastel Versace Pants on fire…..
Thought it was worth repeating….

Too many to list here… and since you can’t spell… I doubt that you could read it either. Glad I’m voting with a clear conscience… at least my vote will cancel out yours.

Criminals dont bother to purchase arms from a store, they buy them on the street. Yet everyone in favor of this “ban” wants to continue or increase limitations of law abiding citizens whom are willing to register the firearms they purchase for legal use and protection. I am telling you now and you can quote me on this: We will not limit the sale of firearms to criminals from criminals no matter how many laws we pass, all we can do is level the playing field for those whom wish to protect their families in their own homes from the criminals by allowing them to own a firearm for personal protection.

Charlie35: “Just more BS from the left in their attempts at social engineering to make the USA just like any other 3rd world country. Where the ruling elite live up on high with the rest of us are down here begging for their scraps.”
OMG! do you really think “the left” has a lock on this? Can you say “neo-con?”

Ah, yes… S.N. That must be it. I’m so busy trying to recognize the original document — with all of Cheney’s footprints and Rove’s Post-It notes blocking my view. But then, that doesn’t seem so important to extremists like you who enjoy avoiding the facts and clouding the truth. ‘Bout time you got back to your Dobsoniac Council Meeting, isn’t it?

I can not understand how or why so many American People can’t see what is really going on (Scare Tactics and lies). We have been mislead by the Republican Party for so long and lied to about everything that has happen in our country since 2001 concerning our safety that either some of you can not see the change for the better coming through the leadership of Barrack Obama or you are stuck in the old ways of thinking (Hate based on the color of someones skin instead of the content of their character),if that is the case the you deserve to pay $4 or $5 dollars a gallon for gas to a man and his business partners (Bush and Co.)and to lose everything you have worked to obtain in life. If what Obama is doing is flip flopping and lying to you ask your self this question. What did Bush do to you for his own personal gain or his families? and you swallowed it hook line and sinker!!! and you took it with no lube or a kiss; either way you want to look at it. Now McCain wants to finish what Bush started. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

Obama will bring the gas price to 200 Dollars to a barrel.
Obama’s big cash donors are the bulk of the Speculators on Wall Street….( Goldman Sachs etc etc…)
Obama is just a Liar….liar liar your ELITIST Wall Street Pastel Versace Pants on fire…..

Obama believes the D.C. handgun law is constitutional. In 2007.
Now his camp saids……DRUM ROLL PLEASE……
Obama Camp Disavows Last Year’s ‘Inartful’ Statement on D.C. Gun Law
Even an uncool kid like me can see a LIAR.
Obama is just a Liar….liar liar your Elitist Wall Street COOL Versace Pants on fire…..
“Obama has sidestepped the question of whether the ban in the nation’s capital runs afoul of the Second Amendment.”
SideStepped?…move to the side? Which Side? … up down to the left to the right— It’s THE HUSTLE…..!

I think it’s great that all of act as thougt you take a side on most things in life and stick to it.
Some of us tend to look at things differently when we are privledged enough to get all the facts.
Most of us just like to take what little facts we have and form an opinion that we will blindly defend, due to our own stubbornness.
Don’t you think that someone in the press daily would think hard about giving conflicting views unless they may have truely changed thier minds? Don’t they have advisors that keep track of all these statements and stances?
I don’t know… I don’t have all the facts either.. So I think for now I’ll keep my mouth shut.
But….
For those of you that voted for Hillary, but are not ready to back McCain.. Help me.. Help to understand who is the real Flip Flop here…
You favorite team player didn’t get the MVP, so you decide to route for the Opponents? Help me..

Obama had since November to artfully restate his consistent position. Oh that’s right, during the PA debate meltdown he tried to claim he didn’t know anything about the case.

Obama was silent on DC gun ban question in Pennsylvania debate.
Obama wouldn’t answer the DC gun ban case when asked by George Stephanapolis in the debate before Pennsylvania.
This was 5 months after the court took the case. This debate was in mid april when the court took the case in november. Obama said he hadn’t seen the specifics in the case. This was 5 months after the court took the case.
Amazing that he dodged the question in the april 16 debate when Pennsylvania has the most NRA owners in the country.

Obama judges will overturn this ruling.
Obama will be able to stack the court with liberal justices.
Obama will pick Scalia’s replacement.
Obama justices on the left will rule for rapists, eminent domiain and against the second amendment.

MarkW: “The gap between rich and poor shrank during the Bush years.”
Where is that documented?

Weell, The Court has ruled. McCain was right. Obama was wrong. the law is unconstitutional. At least accorind to the US Constitution, perhaps not in the Great Seal of Obama’s constitution.

I am a lifelong Democrat, but unfortunately I will not be voting for the presumptive nominee this year. I was excited about our opportunities, but BO is just so disappointing in so many ways. He is such an old-school, run of the mill politician.

FactCheck: Yes, Obama endorsed Illinois handgun ban
Obama was being misleading when he denied that his handwriting had been on a document endorsing a state ban on the sale and possession of handguns in Illinois. Obama responded, “No, my writing wasn’t on that particular questionnaire. As I said, I have never favored an all-out ban on handguns.”
Actually, Obama’s writing was on the 1996 document, which was filed when Obama was running for the Illinois state Senate. A Chicago nonprofit, Independent Voters of Illinois, had this question, and Obama took hard line:
35. Do you support state legislation to:
a. ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes.
b. ban assault weapons? Yes.
c. mandatory waiting periods and background checks? Yes.

You can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands!
Guns don’t kill people people kill people.
Let’s outlaw cars, fast food and doctors. They kill more people than guns.

I am guessing that roughly 75% of the people who have posted here are paid McCain lackeys. The virulence is overwhelming. Anyone who says something like, “Obama just needs to reed the Constitution” is a f**king moron. If it was simple as that, we wouldn’t need such an elaborate judicial machine in this country. The 2nd Amendment is ambiguous, and that’s why this is not a clear cut case. Also, what is wrong with reading all the briefs and weighing all the evidence? Isn’t that the type of judicious leadership that we want? Leading by reason through informed decisions is preferable to leading by fiat through divine revelation. Also, Obama is not the only elitist politician, so that is nonsense. I imagine most of you trolls don’t eat as well as Mr. McCain. This message board makes me sad actually. I hope you all are getting paid well for your posts.
Also, I own lots of guns and will be moving to DC soon, so I totally agree with the Court’s opinion because I would like to be able to protect myself from murderers and thugs.
And whoever said that the gap between rich and poor shrank during the Bush administration is completely wrong – which I think was everyone’s “common sense” reaction when they read that piece of garbage. See http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/29/business/income.4.php .

Great! An issue to bring “bitter” voters out in November to prevent Obama from having the their right to “cling” to guns overturned.

I am guessing that roughly 75% of the people who have posted here are paid McCain lackeys.
Yeah, thats it. When in doubt blame a wild conspiracy about ‘Rovian Internet Bunkers™’ issuing directives to their “paid” operatives.
LOL, you people make my day, every day.

–have you ever noticed that conservatives can only argue by insulting people?
Posted by: use your brain | Jun 26, 2008 11:18:52 AM–
Just a quick scan of the comments to check about this accusation will find this:
–”Obama is just trying to walk a nuanced line so all you crazy gun-toters don’t flip out.”
Posted by: NeoConAlert | Jun 26, 2008 10:35:16 AM–
LOL, try again.

Now we can look to Chicago’s ban. Is Obama going to claim he doesn’t know anything about that too?

“While total reported income in the United States increased almost 9 percent in 2005, the most recent year for which such data is available, average incomes for those in the bottom 90 percent dipped slightly compared with the year before, dropping $172, or 0.6 percent.
The gains went largely to the top 1 percent, whose incomes rose to an average of more than $1.1 million each, an increase of more than $139,000, or about 14 percent.
The new data also shows that the top 300,000 Americans collectively enjoyed almost as much income as the bottom 150 million Americans. Per person, the top group received 440 times as much as the average person in the bottom half earned, nearly doubling the gap from 1980.”
Wow! Chew on that a while!
The vast majority (90%) actually saw a decline (0.6%) in income in 2005!
Think about that top 1 percent whose income increased an average of more than $1.1 million! I’m actually in the top 2% of household incomes in the USA and my family income did not increase anywhere close to $1.1 million in 2005. There is an enormous gap between 1% and 2% let alone between rich and poor!
What’s really scary is there are people out there like MarkW who believe the gap is actually shrinking! Makes me wonder what other Kool-Aid we can have them drink!

Obama spent eight years on the board of the Joyce Foundation, which paid him more than $70,000 before he became a national political figure, he sat on the board of a Chicago-based foundation that doled out at least nine grants totaling nearly $2.7 million to groups that advocated the opposite positions.
The foundation funded legal scholarship advancing the theory that the Second Amendment does not protect individual gun owners’ rights, as well as two groups that advocated handgun bans. And it paid to support a book called “Every Handgun Is Aimed at You: The Case for Banning Handguns.”
Get that JOYCE FOUNDATION and OBAMA.

Don’t worry. President Obama won’t take away your guns.
Just take a deep breath.

Jane,
google “Joyce Foundation”. Obama was on the Board and they spent millions to overturn the Second Amendment.

–Don’t worry. President Obama won’t take away your guns.–
Of course Obama couldn’t take away guns; there are 200 million of them in the hands of 60 million owners. But he could make it impossible to use them, carry them, or have access to new ones.
Eh, its all academic anyway. Senator Obama will be joining Kerry in the “Almost Club”.

“The official Obama website scrubber must be busy today.”
Today? Obambo had to hire extra I.T. staff just to keep up with all his circular opining.

Let’s elect Obama, but tell him he can’t bring his aides. They’re terrible!

The recent Gallup poll had the candidates tied at 45%, not that it matters; watching polls now is for dolts. Moral compass accusations? From the libs? Comedy gold!
On topic: Just got news that the NRA is going to file suit against the Chicago gun law.
Hehehehe, put Obama over the barrel and then beat the snot out of him with his flip-flopping. Let’s see how he handles this one.

They call him Flipper.

Obama was in favor of the gun ban before he was against it.
What a clown!

so mccain has poor morals and judgment and obama has really bad judgment and is the biggest hypocrite to come along in a great while……seems like the only option left is to Write-In Senator Clinton, which is ironic since she would make the best President that our children, our troops and our country need right now

5-4 is not fear mongering. It is one liberal judge away from facism.

I am going to love to see Roland Martin and Donna Bazille on CNN have to “eat crow” when McCain wins in November. These two are the absolute worst analyst in America! They both are extremely racist, both lie out their behinds, and are so far up Obama’s a$$ that its not funny! I laughed the other night when both of them were singing nothing but praise for Hillary Clinton when in the primaries she was “trash” to them. They flip-flop just like their messaih Obama does. I just can’t wait to see their ugly facial expressions when they have to announce that John McCain won the election!

Present!

Quite frankly, I’d accept this over any of the dozen upon dozen of McCain’s change of positions (thank you McCain=BushIII for the rundown-it’s lengthy to be certain!). Perhaps it’s due to his POW days or just being outlandishly senile that he just doesn’t REMEMBER what his position was last week. Evidently, it’s okay for McCain to flip and flop and pander and lie and have no character whatsoever. He gets a free pass on EVERYTHING, but not Senator Obama. And JR, obviously you haven’t read Barack’s book, “Audacity of Hope” to understand his take on positions, policy making, and politics. It’s not just about him. Read it before you comment about it.

“Something Wicked this way comes and it hails fro Chicago.”

Is there a link on the front page of Drudge, Malkin, Limbaugh etc. for all these smart-aleck conservative “comments?” They’re all eerily similar in content, intent, and anger. And so evenly paced too…hmmmm.

Obama is inartful, all right. Can you just imagine how he’d handle negotiations with other countries? Makes my skin crawl. The man is totally inept.

to understand how well gun bans work one must simply look at recent history.
Just look at what the gun bans have done to the crime rates in england and Australia then you will see what kind of a positive impact we would see in the USA with more gun restrictions.
Please look at hard data before making up your mind on this issue

“The Chicago Tribune clip from Nov. 20, 2007, is an inaccurate representation of Obama’s views, according to Burton, because the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has refrained from developing a position on whether the D.C. gun law runs afoul of the Second Amendment.”
“He has refrained from developing a position” Wow, so he won’t take a stance on an issue because he doesn’t want ot be wrong. If he can not develop a stance and have the guts to back it up and stick to it then he should be no where near the White House.
He doesnt create a position because he wansts to see how people react to the supreme courts decision then back which ever position would A) get him more votes, or B) the opposite of what McCain says just so he could argue with him. I want to say Obama is an idiot but he is actually a very calculating man who does everything for a reason and its not in the best interest of the poeple. He is a danger to our country, and no thats not an over statement.

What exactly is a “lawfully registered shotgun?”

Obama is trying to find a balance so the gun people don’t attack him. If you find this flip flop terribly offensive, then go ahead and be terribly offended.
Obama’s got bigger fish to fry, and 2nd amendment stuff is like number 27 on polls of what’s important to voters.
All presidential candidates do this. McCain did it on taxes, immigration, and a whole host of other issues. It would be nice if they could take bold positions on everything. But they can’t because they have to appeal to too many different groups to win.
I would be more worried if a candidate were compromising on core issues. As far as I can tell the only one doing that is McCain.

Why are the Republicans jumping all over this instance when they have literally crapped all over the constitution the past 8 years with a war that was not declared by congress, outing of CIA operatives, lies about war intelligent, illegal camps for detainees, etc. Do you really want to go there about protecting the consitution? What happened to state rates? Don’t they have the ability to form their own law within the state/union. Nebraska’s problems aren’t the same as DC’s. Another Republican tactic. Oversimplifying a diffcult issue. This is why your candidate is getting smoked.

I am so embarassed to be an American when I see ALL of the statistics showing this as a very gun violent nation. But the NRA and Republicans like to mask the issue with THEIR TAKIN’ OUR GUNS AWAY – YEEEEEEHAAAAAA How many statistics does it take to make you realize that a gun in your home hillbilly does NOT make you safer? LOL For God sakes America EDUCATE.

Don’t blame the Repub posters for jumping all over this. It has to be difficult supporting 4 more years of the worst administration this country has ever known. It’s gotta be tough too to see Virginina, Iowa, CO, and more going Blue. It’s a trend that is unstoppable.

What we should do is repeal the fruitcake 2nd amendment and be done with this.
It was for another time anyway, a time of state militias. Countries without such silly ‘rights’ have hunters and gun hobbiests too. They just don’t have gun murders.
Let me guess – you gun lovers out there just got your panties in a wad. But face it, ladies. This is an issue only for presidential campaigns, and in the real world we are getting more and more restrictions on guns. This is happening because sane people run local governments and find them necessary and beneficial.
Regarding Obama, regardless of all other issues, simply getting an ‘F’ from the NRA is enough to make me vote for him.

I find it fascinating that we are continually told that Obama is one of the great communicators of our time, yet every statement ever made has to be re-explained, or corrected, or interpreted, or revisited.
Or, when the tides turn, old comments are revisited.
He’s a phony, folks.

Most of the people posting on this site are so partisan or anti-Obama that they can not smell the BS being pushed by themselves and the media. I am an independent and I don’t like either candidate that much. But I wish all you guys would wake up and smell what you are shoveling and what you are eating up.
Obama may very well be a flip-flopper, though this would be the weakest example to demonstrate such a claim because Obama never said anything in regards to the DC gun ban. All the media has is a year old quote form an unnamed source who was apparently affiliated with the campaign. I dare say that this is not the same as if Obama would have said it directly. Also, since Obama repeatedly side-stepped the issue and did not comment on it publicly I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt when he says he never made a public statement on the ban.
I feel like this explosion of flip-flop comments is just a bunch of partisan people who are blinded to the facts by their hatred of the man.
I am not saying you have to vote Obama, and the man has flip-flopped, most notably on public financing, but lets not go into huge tirades about how the man has flip-flopped and is nothing but a lair if you are supporting John McCain. Both men are politicians and both men have and will flip-flop on policy. However, from an objective view point, I feel that Obama’s flip-flops are overblown while McCain is let off the hook on a lot of important issues
I have followed politics for a while and I voted for John McCain in 2000. But that McCain was radically different from the 2008 version and I will not vote McCain in 2008. McCain has flip-flopped on the Bush Tax Cuts, Torture, Off-Shore Drilling, Immigration, and Public Financing to name a few and though some of these changes in position can be justified there are others that can not.
While I do agree with John Maynard Keynes quote about how he changes his positions when the facts change, this does not apply to all of McCain’s flip-flops. Most notably the fact that McCain now supports the Bush Tax cuts which he voted against twice. In 2000, McCain voted against the cuts and said it was because they were immoral since they gave the vast majority of the benefits to the rich. In 2002, he again voted against the tax cuts and said it was irresponsible for a president to lower taxes in a time of war. The facts have not changed when it comes to the Bush Tax cuts, but John McCain’s position has because he now wants to make those same tax cuts permanent. McCain changed his position due to political necessity- he could not have won the nomination without backing the tax cuts- and that clearly is the worse type of flip-flop on a very important issue.
I don’t care if you vote for Obama, but you should at least know the facts before you start to criticize a man and call him a complete fraud. Obama may be an elitist liar, as many on this blog claim, but if that is true of Obama then what is to be said of John McCain?
America needs to rise above the partisan bickering and examine the facts and CURRENT policy positions of all the candidates and then evaluate them openly and fairly. And the same is true for this blog.

I live in North Carolina and every month or so we have some poor kid killed or maimed for life by a parent’s gun. Oh well, it keeps the little idiots from drowning in the above ground pool or being alone in the trailer when a tornado hits…

Thank you Mike.

Who is this low brow guy Bill Burton, telling ABC that Obama made an “inartful statement”? First of all there is no such word, but that would definitely not worry anyone in Obama camp. What the heck, after all , there is no such person as Obama – just a caricature of what the Democrats ( and he himself) believe an Obama should be in order to win. His persona, beliefs and character are all secondary to winning. There is however a word “artful” which in my dictionary is defined as ” tricky or crafty or artificial”. so I guess we can conclude that although Obama is usually artful ( tricky, artificial and crafty ), this time unfortunately, he was not tricky or crafty. So Mr. Burton: A little learning is a dangerous thing, drink deep or taste not the Pierean spring.:

To Bill in NC. I see you’ve drank from the Obama cup of kool-aid.
Our liberties have not been infringed upon since 9/11. We can still say or do whatever we please. Security at an airport is common sense. Especially when there are those that would seek every opportunity to kill an American whenever they could get a chance.

Try again! Actually, I have no desire to see a President Obama. Nor do I have any interest in a President McCain! I will vote for somebody, but I don’t know if it will be a Republican or a Democrat.
Almost every charge leveled here can be equally applied to both parties’ candidates. Of course! They’re both politicians.
However, I think you’re being dangerously naive if you think our liberties are not under attack. (From both the left and the right.) Yes, you can certainly “say or do whatever we please” but rest assured, if you use the right combination of words or move the right amount of funds, someone will notice. Just ask Eliot Spitzer.
Security at an airport is hardly common sense. It’s been proven over and over how easy it is to defeat the security measures in place. You wouldn’t want real airport security! You would definitely feel your rights are being infringed upon!
It doesn’t bother you that habeus corpus can be suspended by executive fiat despite the requirement of Article One, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution which states “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it?”
If it’s OK to do it once, then it’s OK to do it whenever it’s expedient. That is a serious erosion of our liberty. Lincoln anguished over and regretted his decision to do it – and he had good reason to do it!

Wow- You McCain supporters have some nerve.
In the last year McCain has done a complete 180 on-
Drilling
Choice
Torture
Tax cuts
Privatization of Social Security
Domestic Spying
Gitmo
He has kept his position on the very popular-
The War in Iraq (even though he does not know the difference between Sunni and Shia).
Opposition to Veterans benefits (The Webb GI Bill, on of 30 Seantors who opposes education for combat veterans).
You all picked this guy to represent the Republican brand. Have a good time with it. There is not a single major issue he has not flip flopped on, other than the war in Iraq. We all know how popular that trillion Dollar adventure has been!

BOTTOM LINE:
Tyranny can come from both parties.
Guns Rights Protect us from a Government that will take our liberties.
TAXES is THEFT of my liberty, and my life. The higher the taxes the more I am a SLAVE to the STATE.

I wasn’t that thrilled about McCain so I’ve done what ever I can to read up on as much info as I can on Obama. I had never heard of him. I go to Obamas smear site when something is unanswered (born in Hawaii not Africa). However, it has actually made more problems for him in an area where he tries to explain the truth of some comments about a fellow white employee who is ‘arrogant. and white…’in one of his books. That was actuallhy a turn off for me.
Now there is this gun ban reversal he has commented on,and his comments don’t read right with other things I’ve read as far as his beliefs on that either, or connect with his own cities gun ban that they have there that is almost as strict as DC’s. He commented on the new ruling saying that some areas need this ban, but his own city has so many killings and women I have seen who are crying on on TV about their children shot by gangs and such this year (I have lived here 2 years), and I worry that his judgment on that ban being a good thing might come out in policy if he becomes president. I will be curious to see how the media covers the fact that everything out there says he was clearly for this ban and found it constitutional, and now he puts a new spin on it that seems to cater to the right.
I still have lots of unanswered questions and see a lot of moving to the right on Obamas part (BIG MOVES). I’ve even heard this same thing in the news about the same time I am noticing it as well.
Some in the news are fed up with the Wright subject, but they aren’t the ones trying to figure out who they will vote for from the way it sounds… but a lot of us never heard Obama asked some crucial questions on this and that has left us unable to find an appeal for Obama. Questions like: Do you believe in Black Liberation Theology that Wright repeatedly quoted as the basis for his sermons while you were there that 20 years. Did you and/or Michelle tell your daughters that these sermons did not hold some things in it that you believed in, and if you had to go to all that trouble, wouldn’t it have been easier to have your children in a church that better fit your beliefs and avoided having them subjected to such hate speech.
I have been upset by some in the media. Their coverage has been soooo pro Obama that we they seem to have skipped over some important areas that those undecided have not ever gotten answers to.
I have been more turned off by Obama because of several areas the media isn’t pressing him for real answers on (causes mistrust on both Obama and the media). I also get suspicious of some in the media when they only show states Obama is ahead in when I hear on another station that Gallop has them tied 45 to 45 on. That would be okay if they showed McCain’s numbers at that time but they’re only showing one side and that makes me very worried about the cable news media (especially the LARGE ones).
My other letter was taken off this site yesterday. I tried to reword all the same concerns a bit nicer, and we will see if ABC will leave it on and take the criticism if it fits them and take a hit on some areas on Obama to some degree, as I frustratingly try and figure out who I will vote for, because I plan to take the best out of two candidates that are way more liberal that I am.

i heard that obama has not produced a american birth certificate is this true? it was something clinton brought up durning the debate. itwas never answered. how can he be president if he’s not an american? thank you .kathy schilling of florida
