Barack Obama

It will be unwise for J.Edwards not to endorse Hillary.

For one thing, how do you like a U.S. Pres. with a name Barack Obama?

How do you like a Pres. of the U.S. who attended a church for 20 years, listening to a Pastor who despise America???

Right there, it tells you what kind of person he is!!!

Come on??? How do you like a Pres. to be of the U.S. who really

knows how to speak but his plans have no substance??

He is so inexperienced. NOT only that, he is going to be a mere

puppet.

Barack Obama, is NOT the President we are looking for!!!!!

I can't believe the people that voted for him!

Change of guards soon

What is the real lesson??

9/11 was a wake up call. Americans have not really learned that we are not safe. Never.

We trusted our government so much. We trusted the CIA etc.

It is about time that we do a reality check. Start conserving, open our eyes. We should

start being paranoid. Every one who wants to enter the US has to be screened.

Blind to the fact that we allowed those hijackers to even take flight lessons!

One of them was on the wanted lists and none of the FBI or CIA agents caught that.

Our immigration system needs more overhaul.

This immigration system is full of holes.

it is time to have a new president. Not Hilary. Not Barrack. Not Rudy.

Not Romney. Not McCain. The only person I can see is Freddie.

Vote Vote Vote next election.

thanks

9/11

"The attacks exposed grave weaknesses in our nation's defenses, our national institutions and ultimately our national character."

By Gary Kamiya [2007-09-11]

That is right... but what do you propose to do then in order not to repeat history?

Do we, Americans, have any personal thoughts about what one could do internally (in our country) to repair the damages?? Our government is not doing a good job so far.

All these letters sound like very cerebral comments but I did not read any cerebral

ideas that would at least make the wounds less infected, do you know what I mean?

Perhaps, we Americans can start by conserving our resources (like gasoline) in order

that we do not depend so much from other countries? Easy to say? Not at all! This is all

possible. It is okay to rehash the 9/11 events... interview the heroes and relive the painful,

maddening, murderous event... but one can only rehash so much.

Each and every one of us has a moral obligation to our country. Damages have been done!!

May be start going forward and offer a personal resolution to this mess... this includes the candidates who are debating and destroying each other senselessly. Words are cheap. Actions are hard to come. Winning is priceless if the right strategy is indeed well planned.

Hilary Clinton is yelling that if the soldiers are not pulled out of Iraq by 2009, she will!

Then, what is she going to do?

What is so important now is for us to get our heads together and unite. The candidates

should put their heads together and strategize very methodically, if I may say, how we

can repair the damages. Show the world that we are the stronger country. Keep our focus on how we can strengthen our military, our economy, our family values and keep America rich of resources.

What bothers me is the fact that we depend so much on other countries even on the

minuscule and stupid manufacturing of dog food in China. And the outsourcing of

technological jobs to India.What happened? What happened to the big companies that

used to employ thousands of Americans?

Just look in our backyards and see who is to blame. Remember, supply and demand?

Can you see that we, Americans, are somewhat the root cause of all these damages?

We drive to the grocery store even if it is only a block away.

We are an intelligent and rich country. Let us use our brains to the fullest!!

Thank you...
