I,too, get frustrated with the continuous smears of Obama's reputation. However, instead of pointing out that the Right continues to push these lies, Obama supporters need to spread more stories about his good character. I've started a site that has some lesser known stories about Barack Obama.

A little part of me did feel sorry for Mrs. Palin. However, I am more concerned. I have a child with special needs. Both candidates have added a position of an "advocate" for people with disabilities to their platforms. McCain has already selected Gov. Palin for this position. 1 in 63 families in America have a child with Autism! This position is crucial for our country and it is essential that the individual chosen is extremely qualified, intelligent, and wise. I've written a blog about this:

Perhaps people are afraid of Obama because there aren't learning about his true character. I've created a hub with some stories of Obama's true character. They are really great stories that many people have not heard and will give you a real indication of his true character.
