Issues is my main concern. I can say that I think Obama true marxist

Jerry11:07AMApr 16th 2008

and I can say without a doubt that Alexandria apparently has never read a book on marxism or socialism for that matter...another failed youth

Clown Stalker11:09AMApr 16th 2008

I hope in the debate that we see some real issues. I'm sick of mud slinging. Present us a plan on how your going to lower gas prices and utilites. Tell us what you are going to do.

Why did Michelle appear on Colbert last night instead of Barack? Maybe because Michelle sounds more Presidential in "off-the-cuff" situations. After all, it was Barack who said:

political silly season

somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I'm not as expert on

That's silly talk

punished with a baby

Barack's words....what can I say?

heidi11:10AMApr 16th 2008

issues are definetely my concern and the only one who can handle the job of president is mccain the other two democrats are worthless garbage GO MCCAIN

PAT11:13AMApr 16th 2008

THE ISSUES ARE THE BEST JUDGE OF CHARICTER IF THEY WERE NOT SO GOOD AT DECEPTION WHEN YOU FACTOR THAT IN
VOTE AS YOU WISH BECAUSE WHEN THE VOTES ARE COUNTED "THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE LOSERS AGAIN"

vlg11:13AMApr 16th 2008

Issues and experience....by a long shot.

Hillary visited some 80 different countries as First Lady.
How many has Obama visited?

Hillary has served eight years in the U.S. Senate.
How many years has Obama served?

Hillary has visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan three times.
How many times has Obama visited?

Hillary has the endorsement of more than 30 former admirals and generals, including two former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and five retired officers of the four-star rank.
How many have endorsed Obama?

Hillary has served on the Senate Armed Services Committee for five years.
What experience with the Armed Services does Obama have?

Hillary knows personally most world leaders on the international stage.
How many does Obama know?

Hillary asked pointed, relevant questions in the Senate hearing about troops in Iraq.
Why did Obama and McCain stumble?

Hillary established a model upon arrival in the Senate in 2001 to work hard, tend to your constituents, and get along with others.
Obama's advisors called it "the Hillary Model."
Guess who adopted that model when HE arrived in the U.S. Senate?

EXPERIENCE? Even Obama knew experience when he saw it!

I think issues are very important. I also find that on all issues there isn't much of a difference between Hillary Rodham Clinton & B. Hussein Obama. They both want to turn this into another failed socialist state. Obama comes across as another politician from the past a sort of cross between George McGovern & Neville Chamberlin.

Drew11:17AMApr 16th 2008

hey jerry, collective good...level playing field...taxing industry...taxing wealthy individuals and companies to spread it to those in need...basic principles of socialism/marxism.

i didn't need a poli sci degree to see through the media spin on obama or his choice of words. the liberal mantra/platform is one that is on its fringes, socialism.

DCA24611:17AMApr 16th 2008

American needs to WAKE UP and examine who we have to choose from for a candidate. Stop playing into the media's soap opera of events and verbal blunders and lets find out things about how these candidates voted, what political mistakes they have made and what they did to overcome them. What PLAN/s do they have to lead this country and NOT just a bunch of lip service. APATHY is PATHETIC. Finding an appropriate LEADER should take hard scrutinizing work, REAL debates not fixed ones and finding out if their work history is tenured or short. If we AMERICANS at large continue to remain as apathetic as we are now about investigating our candidates we are GUARANTEED the outcome.

Jeffrey11:18AMApr 16th 2008

CNN was way out of line avoiding issues and instead asking questions about the candidates faith. Article six of our Constution says that there shall not be any religious test for office. I don't care whether a God or a Dog or the candidates themselves come up with solutions to issues. I just want to know what the answeres are and if they fit into what I think is appropritate. If you want to live in a theocracty go live in Saudi Arabia because you can't have one here! Let Freedom Ring!

L. Bright11:20AMApr 16th 2008

The lineup of presidential candidates for the Democrats is the most pathetic in the nation's history -- and as a result, the nation may suffer because of this for decades to come.

shundee11:20AMApr 16th 2008

Jerry

I totally agree. If this character knew as well as understood what Marxism and socialism were they would be dangerous. Seems like an exercise in throwing newly acquired language around. Further if Obama were a Marxist doesn't this embecile realize that The Department of Internal Security would know. Read a book or two before you embarass yourself or attempt to express subjects you know NOTHING about. Then and only then return here to post commentaries. Illiterates are a danger to society. Oops. Erratum! I forgot you don't know that you don't know.

ANYDAYNOW11:21AMApr 16th 2008

8 YEARS OF "LOW LIFE" CLINTONS IN WHITE HOUSE

WAS TO MUCH---AND YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER BITE OF THE APPLE?

HIDE THE INTERNS BILLS ON HIS WAY

herm11:23AMApr 16th 2008

vig.i'm responding to your message.hillary is a loser and so is her husband...obama is a liar and so is his wife....grow up and read the handwritting on the wall?

basbleu11:23AMApr 16th 2008

Registered staunch conservative since 1972, never swayed but, after researching what my party had to offer me in form of candidates I made afast u turn and started checking the liberal side. Joe Biden and Barack Obama were my choices and after Biden withdrerw I ran a search on Obama.
I loke the man! He will bring changes to Washington which the other candidate will not. He will taqcxkle the lobbyists, will restore pride in America again, Hillary will tow her perjured luggae behind her and her good intentions which have to be approved by the former President. No, I can't give her my vote, she carries too much nasty luggage, besides the 109 million I still don't know where they invested it. Offshore? I guess tghe lies and dirty will always accompany the Clintons. Senator Obama has my vote, that of my Granddaughters ( all in college) and my daughter in law.

NANCY LEE11:26AMApr 16th 2008

I think a major issue is, why does Barack Obama have a senior advisor who is linked with Hamas?............Robert Malley a senior advisor to Obama, has advocated negotiations with Hamas, and is providing international assistance to the terrorist group.......The leader of Hamas, Mousa Abu Marzook, is calling for the murder of Jews and the murder of the Declaration of Independence!.........this falls right in line with Rev Jeremiah Wright, Obama's racist Pastor and Church.........

shundee11:27AMApr 16th 2008

Guess your candidate is honest isn't she? A proven liar 70 times 70 and pulling!!!

Kathy11:27AMApr 16th 2008

I believe Pat said the issues are the best judge of character. I contend that one's character determines how they feel about the issues. The candidates can say anything..... it is their personality and character that will determine which way they will swing on an issue. Study the person!!!

NURSERATCHET11:28AMApr 16th 2008

NURSERATCHET11:37PMApr 15th 2008

THE MEDIA HAS HAD THIS STORY FOR MONTHS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO LET THE AMERICAN VOTERS KNOW ABOUT IT! WHY? I CAN THINK OF TWO REASONS: 1. THEY ARE WAITING FOR OBAMA TO GET THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION AND THEN THEY WILL TOTALLY SMEAR HIM WITH THIS STORY AND MCCAIN WINS THE WHITE HOUSE. 2. THEY ARE SCARED TO DEATH TO RELEASE IT FOR FEAR OF RETALIATION FROM THE BLACK COMMUNITY. SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?? WE MUST MAKE THEM INVESTIGATE!!!!__________________________________

Larry Sinclair alleges that on 6th and 7th November 1999 in Chicago, Illinois he met Barack Obama for a social evening which included drinks in a lounge, followed by a drive around town in his hired limousine during which Obama supplied cocaine, smoked crack through his own glass pipe while accepting fellatio from Sinclair.

The next day Obama took the initiative to visit Sinclair’s Comfort Inn hotel room in Gurney, Illinois for a “quickie” version of the previous night’s activities. Both men were 38 years of age. Larry Sinclair was on parole visiting for a few days from Colorado. Barack Obama was a member of the Illinois Senate.

These scenes are reminiscent of the Oprah Winfrey’s show in which she featured J.L. King’s book “Men On the Down Low: A Journey into the Lives of Straight Black Men Who Sleep with Men”

The story has produced some newsworthy reactions most of which can be described as a cover-up:

1. A virtual internet and media lynch mob composed mainly of Obama supporters is bent on discrediting Sinclair with allegations about his homosexuality, his convictions for check fraud in the 1980’s and his mental and emotional stability. Part of their dirty tricks is to circulate to the media a forged facsimile of a page for the Washington Post which includes numerous lies about Sinclair and to declare that he was in a mental hospital at the time he said he was with Obama, and to attack his family and neighbors.

A noteworthy participant in the campaign of vilification is Andres W. Lopez an attorney for the Obama campaign in Puerto Rico who is a member of the campaign’s National Finance Committee. He appeared on Puerto Rico’s most popular TV magazine show WAPA TV’s “SuperXclusivo” on April 10th 2008 to denounce Sinclair as a major headache and distraction for the Obama campaign and implied that he was mentally ill and working for the Hilary Clinton campaign.

Sinclair has hit back against some of the critics with law suits for defamation in the DC district court filed by his attorney Montgomery Sibley most recently noteworthy for his defence of the “DC Madam”.

On 1st April, 2008 US District Court Judge Henry Kennedy granted a motion for discovery in the matter. The aim of the Sinclair-Sibley legal strategy is eventually to discover Barack Obama on oath.

2. Larry Sinclair took a polygraph test in February confident that he would pass and he challenged Obama to do the same. The test was arranged by Whitehouse.com an internet site best known for pornography and anti-Clinton political satire.

The raw computer readings showed that Larry Sinclair passed the test with flying colours. But two testers hired by Whitehouse.com re-interpreted the readings to claim that they showed deception. One of the testers was Edward I. Gelb who has been exposed by specialists in the field for claiming a phony Ph.D.

Whitehouse.com refused to publish the full results or the video of the test and in many other respects breached good faith undertakings they gave Sinclair to induce him to participate. He claims that he and his attorney are in possession of information that the Obama campaign bribed Whitehouse.com to distort the test and spin the presentation of the results.

Whitehouse.com has not denied these allegations but has abruptly gone silent on the matter.

3. Many in the mainstream media are aware of Larry Sinclair’s allegations about Barack Obama and rumours in Chicago restaurant and club land since at least 2001 that Barack Obama has been doing the Down Low with gay men. Some newspaper have interviewed Larry Sinclair and visited his home in Minnesota. He has provided them with his criminal record, his health and financial records and his family history.

At least one major Chicago newspaper has indicated that it will not proceed yet because it does not want to be accused of racism or of causing problems for the first viable black candidate. Other newspapers have asked for more proof such as access to the limousine driver who witnessed the events of November 6th, 1999.

Larry Sinclair has said the driver will testify in legal proceedings. But in the meantime he wants to protect him from interference from Obama campaign, from the kind of death threats to which Sinclair has been subjected and from the kind of harrssment that Obama supporters have visited on Sinclair’s elderly mother, his siblings and neighbors. However, Larry Sinclair is willing to provide assurances about his evidence to the media through his lawyer.

4. When Larry Sinclair first reported his allegations to the Obama campaign in September 2007 he wanted Obama to correct his claim that he had stopped taking drugs in his teens and had never taken crack. He believes crack is addictive and difficult to shake off.

Over the following months until December, 2007 he was contacted several times by Donald Young who appeared to be Obama’s emissary. He was the choir master at the Trinity Church of Christ which was under the direction of Pastor Jeremiah Wright and where Barack Obama is a member of the congregation. Donald Young informed Larry Sinclair that he, too, had a sex and drugs relationship with Barack Obama similar to his.

At first he suggested that Obama was seeking the assistance of Jeremiah Wright in making a statement acknowledging his use of crack cocaine as recently as 1999. But he had second thoughts in early December 2007. Donald Young was murdered in his appartment at Christmas 2007.

Larry Sinclair notified the Chicago police of his contacts with him but received no acknowledgment. Subsequently he has submitted a sworn affidavit which has so far not been acknowledged by the Chicago Police.

Larry’ Sinclair’s original video on YouTube has received more than 800,000 hits and his blog is in the top ten percentile on WordPress. Links to all his radio interviews can be found at his blog together will all contact details for the media.
