Someone call the NE patriots and tell them to give thier next opp. a play by play time line of what thier game plan is. Wonder if they would looooooose? well that is what will happen in this war on terror if we give our enemy a play by play time line. Agree or disagree with the war- be smart. DOnt tell terrorist what your plans are. Politicians need to stop telling the world our business.

Everyone has questioned Gov. Romney's religion. Looks like we should be paying closer attention to Obama's religion. Seems to me this is the man that belongs to a cult. The cut and run so we can watch Iraq civilians be slaughtered CULT. Any person who wants to allow such is obviously an atheist.

His intentions may be good, but it reminds me of the old game show "Name That Tune". Should Sen. Clinton say "I can end that war in 15 months Sen. Obama"? They could have a bidding war, I suppose, until one gives in and says "End that war!"

It probably is good to offer some kind of timetable to shoot for, but I think he is being naive to think this is savvy politically.

As far as him going after Sen. Clinton (He does do it indirectly, if you read his quote.)...John Edwards is doing a fine job of that and getting nowhere fast. Maybe Sen. Obama sees that leaving her out of the formula actually increases his chances of getting an effective message across. He is not my first choice for the Democratic nomination, but if he does win...I will back him. I cannot say the same for John Edwards. I do not like negative campaigns. They have a tendency to drive me anywhere else but toward that candidate. I can't even figure out John Edward's platform as it is so highly dependent on the constant "I AM NOT HILLARY" theme.

Sen. Obama may lack the experience necessary to be President of the United States, but I would take that over John Edwards any day of the week. I do believe that Sen. Obama will one day be ready for all this. He has potential for another time in history. But, Sen. Hillary Clinton will be getting my vote. Americans like the "idea" of change, but we actually change VERY slowly.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Mr. Clark

Cut and run?

These people talk as though they are child pranksters getting away with something wrong, that only the one who is foolish enough to follow through on will achieve childhood self-respect. It's these kind of get your gut remarks that freeze our society in these divisive one up-manship kinds of battles that only the mind of a chld can understand, and not getaway from - the acceptance of ones peers.

These are the same sorts of remarks that got us to elect this president wannabe that we have had to deal with these past eight years. They don't feel self-reproach. No, they don't feel a tinge of regret at the thousands of innocent live lost in Iraq, both our own soldiers and Iraqi citizens. These people live by the gut. They live by might. The rules of the playground. I pray that someday we will have a mature enough society that will finally drown out these voices of fear and ignorance.

Care enough to be informed.

WE DON'T BELIEVE in such a person who wants to discuss our options with the enemy??? He's a REAL JOKE!!! He lives in "OUR" country with his freedom and he has no idea what's involved in maintaining it. You cannot give in to the whiners, we need a true LEADER!!! WHICH HE CLEARLY IS NOT!!!

People who support this war think that they are being patriotic but they are really supporting the destruction of America and everything that it stands for. This is a scam to exploit billions of dollars at the expense of the American people. If you really love America, you would want to work to make it the best place for the average citizens, not the rich, greedy leaders. Who cares what religion he is? Obama just wants to do what is best for America.

Grant2:16PMNov 14th 2007

How many of you wear an American flag pen around all the time? Politicians who do it are usually disingenuous and only want to suck up to voters. Don't you get sick of speeches politicians have with 50 American flags in the background to show they're more patriotic than the guy with 10 flags? People complain about this sort of thing all the time and then when a politician doesn't do all the cheesy, gimmicky things, they complain even more.

As for the remark about telling the opponent our game plan, that would be fine if we weren't playing the wrong opponent in the first place! Our opponent is Al Queda, not Iraq! Unfortunately, though, there is now an Al Queda in Iraq, something that did not exist five years ago. So Obama says he would shift the focus to fighting Al Queda. He doesn't give the specifics of our "game plan" to our actual opponent.

I don't even know that I'd vote for Obama, but after reading all this thoughtless rhetoric, I thought there needed to be some intelligent comments on here.

Hey, ill with u, Obama's a Christian. Whether Christianity is a cult, as you apparently claim, is another debate altogether. The extreme right-wingers who selectively choose phrases from a 2,000 year old book (and ignore others like, say, the Ten Commandents) in to advance their own political ideologies are most certainly part of a cult. It's the most dangerous cult in America. The only cure for it is education.
