TALK! TALK! TALK!
No solutions, always excusing his words and having to say what he meant by what he said!!!!................not leadership qualities....not of Commander in chief quality!!!!
The game is up...O'Bama is being seen finally for who he is and is not, the longer he is in the public eye...we were duped in the beginning because our President George W. had not been there for us....but we now realize the same boring speech....can't do it for us....he can't handle questions...can only Pulpit speak...which he must have learned from his spiritual mentor!!!We do not support O'Bama because of what his preacher said....we do not support O'Bama because of what HE DID NOT DO...He did not stand up for America...by complacently remaining in that church, he complacently accepted all the rhetoric...including the Damning of America....his lack of judgment, poor decision making skills, inablity to stand up for America in his own church,.. for 20 LONG years, tell us alot about O'Bama's character!!!!!!!! ...and he wants to be our commander in chief, the highest office in our country...YOU HAVE SERIOUSLY GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!
This so called rev. was his mentor, spiritual advisor,like one of his family...and O'bama refused to give him up until the voters began to give him up!!!! I do not believe O'Bama's "words" anymore!!!!!
We see no plans either...lots of talk...learned to captivate audiences from his spiritual mentor...watch his verbal inflections and gestures!!!
Former Pastor of just a few months ago!!!... his confidant,spiritual mentor, for 20 YEARS!!!!...........Only rejected this rev.when voters started to reject him!!!......the flag is symbolic to many....those who fought and died for her honor!!!!.....These things will not be dismissed and his poor decisions and judgment show character flaws that are terminal to his election!!! Pure and simple!!!
Hillary '08

clinton not trustworthy?
And Barack Obama is? Rev. Wright, Resko connection,
Ayers? what else lingers in his closet?
Holly2:18PMMay 5th 2008
My vote is for Hillary here in IN. Obama would not do another debate, because he stumbles everytime! Some people are finally starting to realize he is just talk. He does not answer any questions, he will get negative on Hillary and bounce around the question but still does not answer them. I am so Happy that Hillary will be our next President of the USA!!!!Go Hillary!!Hillary'08:)
Anne2:19PMMay 5th 2008
Crandall....I am sorry that you support this:
The United States Senate may vote any day on the stealth imposition of what could amount to an $845 BILLION United Nations style global tax on American citizens?
It's called the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), and it is being sponsored by none other than Senator Barack Obama.
According to some conservative sources, this disastrous legislation could eventually force U.S. taxpayers to fork over as much as 0.7 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product -- or $845,000,000,000.00 -- on welfare to third-world countries.
I do not and this is what Senator Obama has in store for all of us...I respect your opinion but I have serious reservations about Senator Obama's intentions. He and the Reverend are back in Church together again. He flat out said in March that if the Reverend had not retired he would have left the Church. The Reverend is back and I don't see Senator Obama following through on his statement. That is not very trustworthy to me.

OPEN LETTER TO NORTH CAROLINA AND INDIANA VOTERS:
This Texan wants to applaud the efforts of Hillary supporters in North Carolina and Indiana. As one of the 1,459,814 Texans who voted for Hillary in March, I appreciate your hard work. (That is, by the way, 100,000+ more votes than Sen. Obama received in the head-to-head, one-vote-per-person Texas primary.)
I believe Indiana and North Carolina voters find themselves in a similar position to Texas voters in March. Both primaries, which usually are too late to impact the nomination, come at key moments in the primary season.
I want to encourage you all (or "y'all" as we say in Texas) not only to vote, but also to encourage others to vote. Don't forget the senior adults who may need transportation or other assistance in voting. My 92-year-old mother, who was born before women even had the right to vote, was determined to cast her vote for Hillary....not only because she was a woman, but also because she believed Hillary was the strongest candidate.
Go Indiana! Go North Carolina ! Let's bring it home for Hillary!
A Texan for Hillary
Anne2:22PMMay 5th 2008
Right on Holly.......I agreee with your assessment totally.

Hi Michelle....no I am not home for lunch. I am working from home today and taking a lunch break.
I am an account executive and my office is in my home. We always have a conference call on Mondays that last for over an hour so I usually stay home to do paperwork. But I will need to get off shortly.
I just like to pop in once in awhile to see what is going on.
boop1957...google Hillary Clinton scandals and take a gander at all of her unscrupulous associates and dealings- Obama rumor- Hillary FACTS.
She is currently under investigation again for fundraising fraud in California in connection with Peter Paul.
Go Obama!!!
Michelle2:26PMMay 5th 2008

Obama does not equal change2:27PMMay 5th 2008
Anne,
It's called the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), and it is being sponsored by none other than Senator Barack Obama.
According to some conservative sources, this disastrous legislation could eventually force U.S. taxpayers to fork over as much as 0.7 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product -- or $845,000,000,000.00 -- on welfare to third-world countries.
That is so wrong of Obama. He is poo pooing the gas tax relief for us average Americans who are struggling, and using our freakin rebate checks towards our past due utilities. But he wants to send this kind of money out of country for relief??? It may be republican of me, but let's build up our own country first.
help me2:27PMMay 5th 2008
Borack Obama and John Mc Cain are men with Integrity and they will not disgrace the White House. The Clinton's would fight the POPE for the Presidency. Hillary will say anything to get elected. Forget Mr. Obama's exterior and look at his knowledge about economics, the war and his ability to change this government. He does not want to split the Party and he wants to use all the available wisdom in Washington, to help solve our problems. I just do not want Hillary, to lead this country. thank You.
Gary2:28PMMay 5th 2008
Somebody tell me when it's time to introduce these issues into the campaign. On second thought, it might be best to wait until after the conventions.
- Death penalty
- Partial birth abortion
- Fairness doctrine
- Reparations
- Gun control
- Tort reform
Anne2:29PMMay 5th 2008
Crandall....there is no rumor regarding what Obama has said and what he eventually doesn't end up doing. It is a character flaw that I think people need to see. No Rumor - he has supported for 20 years a pastor who is a racist and is also anti-white and anti-american. No Rumor - his camp did contact Canada regarding NAFTA behind the doors and the people of Ohio. No Rumor - he is pro nuclear weapons. No Rumor - his healthcare proposal in NOT universal......and I could go on.
To say or imply that only one candidate has unscrupulous associates reflects the same problem that Senator Obama has - a bad case of 'omission'....telling some part without telling the entire part.
Again, I urge everyone to contact their Senators and tell them NO to this:
The United States Senate may vote any day on the stealth imposition of what could amount to an $845 BILLION United Nations style global tax on American citizens?
It's called the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), and it is being sponsored by none other than Senator Barack Obama.

Holly, Anne.....sorry to disappoint you. Hillary will not be the next democratic nominee let alone the president. It is all in the math-she can not over take Obama in delegates. She would have to win all of the remaining states by a landslide. Not going to happen.
Hillary is way too corrupt -and many people see thru her false promises and lies.
Go Obama!!!08
PROUDAMERICAN2:29PMMay 5th 2008
FRANKLY, BELONGING TO A “HATE CULT” FOR 20 YEARS SHOULD DISQUALIFY YOU FROM SERVING IN ANY OFFICE!
IF OBAMA DOES NOT KNOW ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY --- HIS WIFE DOES. THEY ARE PARENTS OF TWO GIRLS WHO LISTEN TO THE TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH? DID THOSE GIRLS HEAR "GOD DAMN AMERICA" AND WRIGHT'S OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN RANTS?
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS SIMPLY NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL.
HE HAS ALREADY PUT THIS COUNTRY THROUGH TOO MUCH DRAMA DUE TO HIS RECKLESSNESS, POOR JUDGMENT, NUMEROUS LIES AND HYPOCRISY.
STOP THE DRAMA --- NO OBAMA!
VOTE HILLARY 2008!
Gary2:30PMMay 5th 2008
If there has been one common refrain in these posts it has been this:
“If Obama loses the nomination I will NOT vote for Clinton”.
“If Clinton loses the nomination I will NOT vote for Obama”.
Many of them are venting their frustrations and don’t really mean it. But many do mean it.
