I oppose compulsory nattional service. Why do you say Obama supports this? Can you provide a link to this specifically?
I mean, my God, this guy Barrack Obama claims he was a southsider activist but quit after 3 months and took a safe office job.
From The Nation:
In 1985, freshly graduated from Columbia University and working for a New York business consultant, Barack Obama decided to become a community organizer. Though he liked the idea, he didn't understand what the job involved, and his inquiries turned up few opportunities.
Then he got a call from Jerry Kellman, an organizer working on Chicago's far South Side for a community group based in the churches of the region, an expanse of white, black and Latino blue-collar neighborhoods that were reeling from the steel-mill closings. Kellman was looking for an organizer for the new Developing Communities Project (DCP), which would focus on black city neighborhoods.
Obama, only 24, struck board members as "awesome" and "extremely impressive," and they quickly hired him, at $13,000 a year, plus $2,000 for a car--a beat-up blue Honda Civic, which Obama drove for the next three years organizing more than twenty congregations to change their neighborhoods.

Let me get this straight, you're actually claiming Obama's gonna lose in the general in California? To John McCain?
Yes, honey. And if you don't get that you better wake up and smell the coffee. Downtown San Francisco cannot carry California.
YOu should understand that even after Oprah hoofing her fat carcass on stage for him with Teddy Drunkedy for weeks on end, Hillary still won Cal by double digits. Remember?
It's called the Latin and Asian vote. And it outnumbers San Francisco gay men drinking lattes in art shops and racist blacks in Oakland by about oh......at least 12:1.
Latins and Asians love Hillary, they hate Obama and they don't mind McCain (who has successfully painted himself a s moderate GOpster unbeholden to the right).
If they have to choose between Obama and McCain they will choose McCain (doesnt' hurt that McCain is FROM the SW either , did you even bother to THINK - no , of course not).
See understanding these things is important. And why letting a bunch of racist blacks and spoiled children pick your candidate is a bad move.
These liars are just part of the right wing slander machine. Expect more of the same as Obama moves ahead in the coming months.
That Clinton is in no small part responsible for those wounded soldiers in the Brooke Medical Center. Mr Shapiro seems to have.
Kid Geezer
Fool, Hillary Clinton did a 92-page senior thesis at Wellesley on Saul Alinsky. Bill Clinton pardoned a Weatherman and members of FALN.
Watch where you fling that mud, some of it might get on you.
Barack Obama has the talent and the good work habits to pound John McCain and his lobbyist friends. Barack will win 45 states bringing with him a new and willing Congress to move us forward.
Yes, I know he walked the neighborhood for 3 months and then took back to the office. Within five months of that he was running for the Illinois legislature.
Within 2.5 years of THAT he somehow had a 2.5 million dollar home and his wife (public) salary had climbed through teh roof.
The poor in the southside got their heat cut off by Obama's Slumlord friend and nuclear waste freely dumped in their districts.
Nice guy, Hussein-Obama. I guess at least he isn't hanging out with rabid anti-semites and domestic terrorists anymore.
We can hope.
Good heavens, Obama suggested VOLUNTARY service as a way for college students to "work off" the $4,000 per year college tuition grant he proposes.
Gracious sakes, the man doesn't want to draft anyone! Google it.
Okay. This racist black and spoiled child would like a citation, some evidence, or any proof that McCain will carry California and New Jersey 12:1 against Obama on the backs of the Latin and Asian vote.
Because all of the news sources that I could find say that Obama is the candidate that can beat McCain in the general election.

Thanks.

Would have been hard for him to run for the Illinois legislature while he was attending Harvard Law School, where he became president of the Harvard Law Review and eventually graduated magna cum laude. See, Obama got his undergrad degree, THEN he became a community organizer (as detailed in the article from The Nation), THEN he went to Harvard.
As usual, you anonymous Obama bashers (I'm not even sure if you're Hillary supporters anymore, since your irrational rants are doing her more harm than good) can't get your facts straight.
As I apparently have "at least 3-5 sigs and anonymous posts," you might be me in disguise!
For a dazzling moment I thought you might be the candidate's wife because all that tired old stuff about Pavlov's dogs sounds as if it came from a Sociology Department about 20 years ago. I've just come in and, while I was out, someone mentioned "Outside the Blog" by Louis Lapide and it does seem that the candidate's wife is angry enough to dust anyone down. She's been nursing a sense of grievance for many a long year, it seems, but I'm not like that. I even tried to laugh at your imbecilic jokes. Did they call you a "wowser" in Australia? They have a great sense of fun, of course. Btw, people are now beginning to question whether the attempted concealment of the thesis written by the candidate's wife comes within the restrictions of the Patriot Act. Och, isn't it all terrible and the media bending over backwards to cosset Hillary. I suppose you know all about this supercallifragillistic thesis but I'll have to wait until morning to read your sagacious analysis. Incidentally, sarcastic comments have been made about my "pearls of wisdom". but I don't wear pearls, although the candidate's wife does. I'm now off to the Land of Nod, just the cue for you to sneak up as you did earlier when I said I was logging off.
