  • Lovely... but what's the message?

    Obviously there wasn't so much wrong with the largely Republican administrations under which Michelle and Barak grew up that prevented them and their families from living the American Dream, right up to the DNC. Obviously enough opportunity was spared the working man in the "world as it is" that it didn't require saving and restoration to the "world as it should be" by the likes of Barak and Biden. Obviously their lives and professed histories belie their politics and professed mission.

  • Wake Up America

    Are you really trying to compare Obama's experience to JFK and Clinton? Be real people... yes experience with world affairs matters. Of course Bill Clinton will tell you to vote for him... otherwise his legacy ends with being a sore loser. But we all know how honest Bill is, so who could question him. Of course, had Barak not been so insecure he would have truly united the democratic party by putting Hillary on the ticket... and then he would have won for sure. But instead your 'candidate of change' picked a pro-choice Catholic whose been inside the Beltway for 25 years... only showing he's rattled by the republicans.

    Clinton, a Rhodes scholar, was elected attorney general of Arkansas in 1976, governor of Arkansas twice and served until the '92 presidential race.

    JFK commanded a PT-109 in WWII, was a Massachussets congressman in both house and senate until the '60 race.

    Are you going to compare Barak's Illinois state senate stint and time as a community organizer to either of these guys? Or maybe it's his time serving with Bill Ayers' organization that has prepared him for dealing with Russian imperialism. He asked why the UN doesn't go do something about it... maybe because Russia has a veto. Foreign Affairs 101. And what has he done as a US Senator aside from prepare to run for president?

    He was against the war, against the surge, and now you want swoon over his 'prescient' judgement. Of course, such langauge goes right along with his deification on the stage of a greek temple.

    All the theatrics is geared to one end, people. Making you forget... his lack of experience.

  • History is made

    [Read the article: American revolutionary]

    Looks like the revolutionary has been trumped by McCain's brilliant choice of Sarah Palin. Obama wasn't secure enough in his message of messianic change to pick Hillary, and went with someone to try and compensate for his total lack of credentials. McCain has the credentials and is now reaching out to the women left out in the cold by the dems. It was Nixon who said the first woman in the white house would be a conservative as a VP on the republican ticket. It shows McCain's confidence, and respect for the fighting spirit of Palin, and we can't wait to watch her show up Biden.

    To be judged on character was the dream shared 45 years ago last night. Who's the embodiment of this dream? The man now being exposed for the shady squandering of educational funds and lying about his relations with radical terrorist Ayers?(http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MTgwZTVmN2QyNzk2MmUxMzA5OTg0ODZlM2Y2OGI0NDM=)

    Or the woman who took on corrupt politics in her state and chose not to allow genetic testing to affect her decision to have her downs baby?

    To forget that Obama has a complete lack of experience.. and claim he doesn't really need it to be president... and vote for him because "we never thought we'd see the day" an African American ran for president, is to forget the call to judge by charachter and not by color.

    And Sarah Palin is truly the historical choice who deserves to be there because of her character and experience.
