Barrack H. Obama is a consummate politician. And a lawyer. He will say ANYTHING to get elected. That is ALL he cares about. His ego is, well, over-inflated given his actual accomplishments to date. I mean, come on – “Obama One”? The fawning media and his rabid supporters have fanned his already healthy ego into such a bloated, ugly state, that he really does believe he is going to be “The One”. His behavior, as this campaign progresses, is making it increasingly obvious that he will stop at NOTHING to attain his goals. A reporter in FL asked Joe Biden some tough questions, and the station summarily received a harsh rebuke from the Obama campaign, cancelling a planned interview, calling the reporters behaviour unprofessional (which if you watch on YouTube, you will see is false), and advising the station that no further interviews with the campaign will be allowed. I would expect a candidate who wishes to have honest discussion about issues to welcome tough questions. And then there’s the specter of socialist or Marxist outcomes from some of Obama’s philosophies (“share the wealth”, nationalized health care, etc.). The one fact I note in this regard is that many of the nation’s wealthiest Americans are staunch Obama supporters. If they thought their wealth was going to be shared, I doubt they would campaign for their future pick-pocket. Instead, I expect that the only wealth that will be shared is from the middle class to the lower class, so that we can all live mediocre lives and bask in the glory and beauty of “Obama the Under-Qualified.” I cannot believe that somewhere between 46% and 50% of registered American voters have not opened their eyes to the lies, but then again, Obama is probably the best POLITICIAN this country has ever seen. After all, that’s what his whole life has prepared him to be. And, frankly, he’s good at it. Pin him down on an issue – impossible. Get him to say the same thing twice in a row – unlikely. Willing to pander to any audience that will listen – absolutely. And let’s take a look at his favorite audiences. IBD/TIPP Polls show that as of yesterday, 66% of declared Obama supporters do not display an American flag; 74% are not affiliated with any religious denomination; 64% are self-reported as “lower class”; and 56% make less than $30k / year. So, I guess it’s not too surprising that “share the wealth” and “I’m finally proud to be an American” are messages which resonate with these supporters. Hey – I’m not John McCain’s biggest fan, but I refuse to be counted among the guilable, which is why I won’t be voting for Senator Obama.

Obama is not going to win this election. May I suggest that Hollywood line up on their various theorpy couches because they are going to need it.

Polls in this particular election mean notning, just wait and see.

Oh and Kerry, that’s another whose kidding who story – the switf boats was about a man who deserted his men, as only Kerry would do. As for changing his mind – first its nice to have a mind to change.

I do find it disappointing that Americans are so anti-Islam, even though most Americans probably don’t know who Gaza belongs to. I really wish that people would try to learn about what really happens in world and what had happened in the past, but if there is anything that I know it’s that 90 percent of the people in the world are idiots. I don’t mean that the people in underprivileged areas need better education; I mean that they would be stupid even if they had it, because of something called indifference. People just don’t care about other people or even about things that actually effect them, especially politics, because learning is difficult and people are lazy and dumb. I have little to no faith in humanity, but even at that I am an Obama supporter, because I believe Clinton got it right when she called him an elitist, I think he is a rarity among politicians who are also typically idiots, because he knows what is good for America. Don’t think I’m a hyped up Obama maniac, I’m from Indiana. Here Regan comes before God. I have no solid proof of that, but I’m sure it’s close. The truth is that Obama is imperfect, but is not indifferent, lazy, or incompetent.

Hey, I went on Freedom rides in the 1960s. I wanted Obama to
fit my image of a principled progressive. He is not. He is an opportunist.

I am so disappointed in Obama. He has moved back to the right
without any need. He could have stood proud as a progressive.
But he has chosen to get along with the dominant forces. His
support of McCain and Bush’s position regarding Georgia shows he is
both uninformed and colpletely tied in with the same military
industrial complex that has brought us Iraq, nearly
a trillion dollar/ year expenditure on the military and on intellegence
agencies. WHat a waste! We’can’t afford to be spending 3/4 of what
the whole world spends.

Of course, Obama has caved into the Israel lobby. America will
be sucked into more wars there, to support right wing racists
who now drive Israel.

As his knowledge of finance and economics is pathetic. He is
so unsure of what he is saying, supporting the bailouts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The taxpayer will keep subsidizing the rich under
Obama.

His pick of the superficial and glib Biden is terrible. Biden voted for
the Iraq war and has given Bush all he wanted. He is in the
pocket of credit card companies. Health care is not a right to him.

Obama will not bring universal health care to America.

Sadly, things must get worse, before Americans wake up and stop voting for right wing Democrats.

McCain is right about one thing. Obama seems ready to do anything to get elected. What disappointment.

I write about these things on my blog. Google tigersoft” and “obama” or “McCain” or “Iraq war” or “homelessness”. I have a unique vantage point, because of my financial background. Worth looking at.

No OBAMA BOUNCE. What a disappointment he is!

Obama seems like a nice man. He dresses well and is a good speaker. None of which qualifies him to be our President. Suggest you try again in a few years, Senator.

A vote for Nader is a vote for a single man. If he doesn’t win (which he won’t), your vote will have been wasted.

A vote for McKinney is a vote for the Green Party, the best chance this country has at a genuine third party. Even if McKinney doesn’t win (she won’t), your vote will have been well spent.

I will be out fishing on election day in November.

I wont vote for Obama either. Too many promises – not enough substance.

I am also no longer a Democrat -The DNC favoritism of Obama left me no choice but to leave the party.

OBAMA WILL WIN

Obama is promising us things he doesn’t have, or can’t control. He sounds so ridiculous talking, that many people are turning off the TV saying, “You got to be kidding”.
Obama turned election campaign in a comedy. The day of voting I have two options.
Vote for John McCain, or
Go Fishing.

There has been an enormous amount of sexism in this campaign on the part of the media, including the mainstream media. We’ll leave present company excepted, because I think that’s true. But there have been major networks that have featured numerous outrageous comments that if the words were reversed and they were about race, the people would have been fired.

So that’s a big issue. And there are a lot of women in this country who — there’s two issues here. One is one candidate is ahead and one is not. That happens all the time in primaries, and you get over that. What you don’t get over is deep wounds that have been inflicted on somebody because they happen to be a woman running for president of the United States.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Does Barack Obama get over it by choosing Sen. Clinton as a running mate?

DEAN: We don’t know. But I do believe that the issue of sexism in this country has to be addressed.

Whatever is damaging to Israel I support. Whoever will cut off funds for Israel I support. Policies that make the Jewish Racist Terror Hate State strong I oppose. Polices that discredit Israel I endorse. Proposals to deport American Jews to Kenya or Nigeria I support. Jewish property should be expropriated and given to new immigrants from Latin America.
Jewish Synagogues should be closed and the property confiscated. Jewish religious practices should be banned, i.e. forbidden. Jews are the source of our problems with the Arab world. Make friends with the Arabs and get rid of the Jews. Then America will prosper. Elect Obama President. Why?..the Jews hate him because they know he will not take their racist Jewish drivel.

So he’s playing the political game, what’s new? Obama has been playing and promising everyone left and right, but that doesn’t mean anything. He’s just playing the game to get elected. As to what Obama really believes or what he will do nobody knows. Lets elect him president and see what he does. What is the danger in that?

Joseph. For an interesting read on the Israel issue an article today holds out some hope that the next US Pres, and in particular Obama, might be able to help change things a little for the better.

I have read the extensive comments in this thread and have appreciated each of them. The consensus seems to be that it is the entire political system that is fundamentally flawed, corrupted, and incapable of performing in a truly democratic method.
That being said, it is now more difficult for me to vote for Obama because the weight of your comments has dissuaded me from casting my approval on a system that is so degenerate that it is an outrage against myself to vote.
After being excited about voting for Obama (see previous comment) I am now thinking I will forget the whole process, get some good weed and stayed stoned on election day. Thanks everybody!
