Absolutely! That's how he WINS....whether it be senator or presumptive presidential nominee. As more info emerges about his character I am more convinced than ever than this man should NEVER lead America. I have major concerns about the kind of "change" he has in mind. It is obvious that he will do ANYTHING to get elected president. He has not even won the primary. He was selected & allowed to cheat his way to become "presumptive" nominee. Nothing is cut & dried yet. It is time the Obama camp & the DNC are stopped in their tracks as they are as corrupt as can be. I always believed America was better than that. Open your eyes, voters, we cannot risk having Obama ruin our country. His color has nothing to do with it; it's his fraudulent tactics. Obama "winning at all cost" will ultimately "cost us." We can't let that happen. We, the people, must raise holy hell to keep BO out of the White House. Our wonderful country is at stake. Know Obama means NO Obama!

WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE IF WE DONT BECOME STAND UP AMERICANS AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK THAT OBAMA IS TRYING TO TAKE FROM US HE IS A TREAT LIKE A TERRIOST WE ARE BEING TAKEN FROM WITHIN IT WILL HAPPEN SO FAST WE WONT KNOW WHAT HIT US WE ARE LOOSING OUR INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM OF SPEACH ANYONE THE OBAMA TEAM THINKS IS A TREAT THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO STOP THEM FROM COMMING FORWARD . THIS IS SCARY IN ITS SELF . OBAMA PLAYS DIRTY AT LEAST MCCCAIN AGENDA IS NOT TO TAKE OUR FREEDOM AWAY BUT TO HAVE LESS GOVERNMENT OBAMA WANTS MORE GOVERNMENT WHO NEEDS THEM RUNNING OUR LIVES.

Only a political idiot could answer this question in the negitive!
ClintonsAgain12:44PMJul 3rd 2008
The man is absolutely dispicable. He has no scruples and will do and say anything to win. How anyone can trust him enough to vote for him is amazing. They must live in a paper bag! He is beyond a politician, he is a liar and a snake. Absolutely frightening!
Susan12:46PMJul 3rd 2008
Let's see:
Cheat to get state senate seat.
Cheat to get senate seat.
Cheat to get DNC nomination.
Did you really even have to ask that question? The guy is the most crooked and disgusting politician I have ever seen in my life.
He will say anything to get elected.
He is even telling the evangelicals that he will make it okay to hire and fire based on religion if they will vote for him.
That is illegal and will remain illegal unless he gets in.
He has somehow effectively shut down the news media, now has thugs patrolling the internet so that people do not have any freedom of speech on there either.
This man is a crook of further unseen proportions.
Gerry12:52PMJul 3rd 2008
Wake up America Obama is clueless, just a Token black man, that the Dems are using to get back in power.
moonlight12:52PMJul 3rd 2008
You should give these idiots a literacy test before you allow them to comment on the net...........I could call McPain a war monger, a panderer, a flip-flopper, a liar........and to top that off a jew lover since he has that jerk joe lieberman following him around with a dust pan and a push broom.....To top that ofd, he has a horrible temper, with a record of threatening physical harm to fellow members of the senate who he didnt like or agree with him, Can you imagine this standing in his office with his hand on that red phone, his mind boiling over some imaginary issue he has wth Iran or anybody.........picking it up and giving the go signal for a reign of mushroom clouds ! ! ! WTF ! ! !
Jim12:54PMJul 3rd 2008
Hmmm....let's see. Who in the last, say, 200 years has become President of the United States without being politically ruthless? Truman, perhaps, because he fell into the White House on Roosevelt's untimely death (but grew into the job). Yup, that's about it. Grow up, people. If you think John McCain isn't (now) politically ruthless, then you didn't pay attention when W and Karl Rove smeared him with rumors that he fathered a black child in the 2000 campaign. Don't you think he learned a thing or two about political hardball from that?
Mitch12:59PMJul 3rd 2008
Obama is a snake. He is arrogant and a typical politician talking out of both sides of his mouth. Unfortunately, he is well protected by the media and the general public may never know what this man is capable of doing to undermine the health, wealth and security of our country. He may just lie, cheat and steal his way into the White House with his pitbull of a wife. This country will never recover from an Obama presidency.

Obama is a racist sleeze ball. Ask his opponent when he ran for state senate.
Whats wrong with all you people voting for this slime.
boop19571:13PMJul 3rd 2008

The only way to bring oil down to it's former cheap, affordable, more supply than demand state, is to petition our government to use other means of energy and to control speculators, and sign the drill here,drill now, pay less petition, which can be found on Americansolutions.com . There are already 1,258,053 americans, who are democrats, republicans, and Independents that have signed this petition. The only way to force a vote is by We The People.
laura m2:13PMJul 3rd 2008
congratulations to jim. he put it the way i couldn't.
odd to see people thinking AOL is in the tank for obama, reading the comments and reading most of the articles.
Judy Ann2:15PMJul 3rd 2008
Obama seems to have cast a spell over the media and a
good portion of the American people. He is so deceptive that anyone not under his spell can tell it in a second. He sat in a church for over 20 years and
didn't know what the preacher was saying and everyone
that is his close friend or mentor speaks the same as
Rev. Wright. Give me a break! We are in very, very, very serious trouble if this phony gets elected. John
McCain may not have been my favorite pick for president but he beats the pants off Obama. I hope this fake is completely exposed before it is too late
for this nation. John McCain may not always do what
I want but he loves this nation and we'll still be a
great nation in 4 years, and no telling what we will
be if the big phony Obama gets elected. Probably a third world nation or completely destroyed. There is
a reason why terrorist leaders want him to win.
Donald2:24PMJul 3rd 2008
obama and his wife are a scary couple. I still can't come to grips with the idea this man is a candidate for President of the United States of America. What a horrible nightmare, if anything comes of it.
