so, let's talk issues obamatons

I agree,no more fluff pieces. Let's get down to the nitty gritty. Let's talk about the story that appeared yesterday in a major PA newspaper about Reverend Wright and Barack Obama. Since you feel that he is God's answer to what is wrong in politics--especially the lying and misleading the public for personal gain--let's go there.

According to the article, when Mr. Obama attempted to excuse the words (if you forgot them, let me remind you of some of the best "God Damn America," "911 is God's revenge on America," and, "those long-nosed Italians") of his mentor and the long-standing reverend of his church, Trinity Church in Chicago, IL, Mr. Obama said that we should not judge Rev. Wright because he had a very hard life rife with prejudice, suffering, he went hungry many times, just had it real rough mostly because of racism.

NOT. NOT. NOT. Reverend Wright was raised in a middle to upper middle class neighborhood, went to one of the best public schools and excelled (both academically and in sports), was well liked and considered very popular. They interviewed BLACK friends who went to school with him and lived on the same street and they said that he never went hungry, could have gone to any college (and did) and did very well his whole life (excelled in everything both professionally, personally, and financially).

Thus, Mr. Obama lied about Rev. Wright in order to advance his career and what the heck is new about this. Furthermore, it shows how truly heinous both of these men are to exploit their NON-SUFFERING when many do and have and are suffering. What is new, non-political, or different about lying to advance an agenda and using stereotypes to justify a lie. NOT A DAMN THING.

He could barely answer questions the other night during the debate because people weren't spoon feeding him easy questions and fawning over the answers. BALONEY he is eloguent or quick on his feet--I could out debate him in my sleep and I am not running to be our President. He cannot describe his policies because he has none, and he cannot outline a plan because he has none, and he is not smart enough to lie well and if you people would just WAKE UP you would see this.

I work with poor people--really poor, and they are not buying Mr. Obama not one little bit. They do not have the luxury to see what is not there because they live, and sometimes die, in reality. What they see is a big self-interested goof ball. A big know-nothing smarty pants. Just another egotistical know-it all. How can they see this and you can't? Are we still in the garden of eden but you didn't eat the apple? Or, is this some awful nightmare and I just can't wake up?

Even though many of you here are horribly misogynistic and rather mean, I still think that it is sad that Mr. Obama has lied to you and is abusing your good faith. You are better than this, and while I may not support your words I support your right to be protected by a smart President that actually cares about you. You deserve a lot better than Obama, and God willing tomorrow she will whoop up on that man and we will all be cheering. Me for me and me for you. GO HILLARY. Double Digit win because PA is too smart for Obama and so is this whole country. GO HILLARY. YES SHE CAN. YES SHE CAN. YES SHE CAN.

Oh, and she can win it all too. This race hasn't even really begun.....

@AJ and the rest of the boyz

Like your messiah, hard questions produce whinning and attacks but NO answers. First of all, Mike Huckabee does not speak for me. Second, I am talking about Mr. Obama's lies regarding the genesis for Rev. Wright's statements, which is a totally separate topic and one that you have never addressed because it just hit the major presses two days ago.

Yet, we hear nothing about it. You also fail to address what L. Farrakhan did to Malcolm X, and why, as well as a many other issues I have brought up. You simply talk about my body parts as if they are relevant, and in the hopes that I would care. They are not, and I do not.

We can talk about lots of other issues about Obama, and I will pick and choose great topics as the days progress because this little boy party you have going on here is sickening. Also, with every answer you prove my point about at least one subset of Obama supporters (in case you are wondering, you are the woman hating subset).

Finally, she is going to bring a much larger case of whoop ass down on your boy than you are thinking, but since I don't want to force you to run for the viagra bottle too early today I won't break it to ya in real terms, but just remember the girl from texas told ya. GO HILLARY. YES SHE CAN. GOD BLESS PA.

Oh, and I think that, if truth be told, it is only those men with very small brains/other things/fill in the blank that actually imply that other people on the internet are fat. Who else could be so stupid/scared/lacking of self esteem and NOT realize that it is quite similar to, perhaps, the scenario of the balding older man with the red corvette.

@DOUBLE A

When Hillary wins, remember this. She whooped ASS, again. Your boy just can't compete because all the money in the world can't buy him enough votes. Americans are too smart to not notice that he is a big stinking piece of poop.

Remember this when Hillary wins the next 5 states too...

Yes she can. Yes she did. Yes she will. GOD BLESS PA.
