It's encouraging to see people doing their homework to find out who Obama really is. The press has for the most part not vetted this candidate like they have Clinton and McCain. While the purpose of the vetting is not to oppose Obama, it's to find out what he thinks and why. It's encouraging to see the vetting that is taking place on the internet. See the following as an excellent example: From Dreams of My Father, " I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE". Barack Obama (emphasis added where capitalized) From 'Dreams of my Father', "The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (?) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart." Barack Obama From Dreams Of My Father: "That hate hadn't gone away," he wrote, BLAMING "WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives." Barack Obama From 'Dreams Of My Father', "There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs," he wrote. "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names." Barack Obama "What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice," Obama said. "He's much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I'm not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that's involved in national politics.

If this is True!!! This is the kind of person that the American people are supporting to lead our country as President. I am sorry the American people seem to have lost all the values that our great country was founded on. What are all the changes he speaks of. We hear change! change! change! but, What Change!!! He pussy foots around the issues. Where the hell did he come from? We didn't know or even heard of Obama till 18 months ago. He does not have our best interest at heart. A leopard does not change spots that fast to be for real!!!

LOL! You racists are going to have to come up with something better than that to stop Obama. Old "Gramps" McCain is toast. Every poll shows he is losing because America has had enough of George W Bush, and McCain is just more George W. Bush. McCain lost the first debate, then his silly airhead PTA, soccer mom, partner lost the VP debate to Joe Biden, and now poor old MCCain has lost the second presidential debate. The country is clearly behind Obama now. All McCain has left for support now is a bunch of Rush Limbaugh's ignorant 'ditto heads' who have the same IQ as a head of lettuce, and a few southern racists who still think, just because they are white, that makes them better than black people. LOL!. The McCain campaign has quit trying to debate the issues and started trying to slime Onama personally. That's what the failed Republican Party is down to, slime and lies. But what you pathetic racists don't understand is the American people aren't buying that crap. What he American people are interested in is turning the page on the last eight years of Republican incompetence and failure. So if the best you racists can do is post a few sentences from a book Obama wrote which amount to nothing then you are really out of luck. Don't despair though. Maybe David Duke will run against Obama in 2012. LOL!

The Book Dreams Of My Father.If that does not show how much of a racist he is. I don't know what will. I am so tired of being judged by the color of my skin as well. I am not voting for him because that is my choice. You need to open your eyes and go back to Civics class. One person does not control the government or is to blame for everything that goes wrong in the world. They are just someone to put the blame on when it all falls apart.

I don't need to open my eyes. I can see very clearly. And what I see is a "SOUTHERN BELLE" who claims Obama is a racist when it is just the other way around. That's why you are a republican. The Republican Party accepts racism with open arms. That's why ALL you "southern belle's" and "southern bo's" vote republican. If I'm lying why don't you explain why the Republican Party had 700,000 people vote for Klansman David Duke when he ran for govenor in Louisiana? Explain why the racist Dixiecrats joined the Republican Party after the Voting Rights Act was passed. Explain why the Republican Party has NEVER had a serious black nominee for president and why Congressional Republicans threatened to kill the Voting Rights Act when it came up for renewal last year? Explain why Ronald Reagan gave his first campaign speech in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights workers were murdered. Explain why Republican Senator Trent Lott said the Republican racist Strom Thurmond would have made a good president back when he ran as a "Dixiecrat". Explain why George H.W. Bush used race-baiting by putting the black face of "Willie" Horton on TV time after time un an attempt to win the racist vote. Explain why President George W. "Oil for Brains" Bush refused to meet with the family of James Byrd, the victim of a vicious racially based murder committed by three republican thugs in Texas? Explain why the Republican Party has elected only THREE blacks to Congress in the last 73 years and at present has ZERO blacks in Congress. Explain why the Republican Party tries to disenfranchise blacks by purging their names from voting rolls like they did in Florida in the 2000 Presidential election? Explain why the Republican Party uses the "Southern Strategy" to win the votes of white Southern racists? You can't explain any of that can you? If you aren't a racist why do you support a racist political party? LOL! You people aren't fooling anybody.

You really have your eyes closed or brainwashed.You act like the Democrats haven't had a hand in what goes on in Washington. The Democrats have set the Republican party up just before the election. Put some of the blame on your party. Don't get me started on what I really know and see.

You question 700,000 voting for David Duke. Can you explain why again voted in William Jefferson. The man had 50,000 dollars of federal marked bribe money hidden in his freezer. Yea for Democrats, Back those crooked politicians no matter what color they are. Or maybe it because of it.

Two of the civil rights workers were white. So, what is the issue. Reagan had his first campaign speech there for reasons you will never understand. It wasn't because, he was racist or supported the hate crime. Why doesn't the President visit every family of the ones who gave their lives for our country? If they had to look them in the eyes. Maybe they would think twice about sending our boys to war. You seem to vote for the person by your party and race. Not who is best qualified for the job. I am proud of my southern roots along with my other roots. German, Wales,and Native American. My Ancestors are the ones who walked the "Trial of Tears."

Clueless, the only thing you are competent in doing is choosing forum nicknames. What has the RACE of two civil rights workers WHO WERE WORKING ON BEHALF OF BLACKS AND MURDERED BY WHITE SOUTHERN RACISTS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THAT got to do with anything? The point is all three workers were murdered by southern racists and Reagan chose to launch his campagn in their town to get the votes of the same kind of racists who did the killing. If Reagan wasn't pandering to racists in this country why did he launch his campaign there instead of in some other small town in America? Got an answer? I didn't think so. And I don't have any idea what point you were ntrying to make by asking, "why doesn't the President visit every family of the ones who gave their lives for our country?" That has nothing to do with my point that the Republican Party is generally racst. I can tell you why President "Mission Accomplished" Bush doesn't visit the families of the troops. It's because he doesn't really care about the troops. He cares about making Halliburton and all his other corporate war profiteering cronies richer. If Bush cared about the troops he never would have sent them to die in a politically motivated war based on bad intelligence. I vote for the most qualified person for president also and that's why I am voting for Obama. I don't care about your souithern roots. I have southern roots also but I don't belong to a political party that is blatantly racist. And speaking of the "Trial of Tears" you better polish up youir boots and get ready to walk that trail again on November 5th.

It seems to me that you have shown your true colors by your posts. You holler Racist! Racist!. That is the only thing you have done. Nobody said anything about Obama being racist by not saluting the flag. Just Un American or Patriot. You are the one who has drawn a white & black line on parties. Obama is white and black. Have you "Tiger BOb" forgotten that little fact. You are so gun ho on having a first black president you don't care if he is best for our country right now. Let him have a few more years in the government and let us see what he can do. Not throw him on the American people with little experience. If Hilary and Obama are the best the democrat could do in nominees. Need I say more???

Well, Hillary and Obama are obviously better than the Republican nominee. Have you noticed the polls lately? I posted facts which prove the republican voting base is generally racist. If you can refute what I said then do it. One reason a lot of southern working class republicans vote for a political party which demonstrably works against the interests of working people is because many southern working class republicans are latent racists and the GOP is the only political party that willingly accepts their racism and uses it as a wedge issue.

By now, we've all seen the John McCain campaign ads on TV. The stoic gentleman with his head held high. A war veteran and a former POW. With this in mind, one would assume the Senator from Arizona, running for U.S. President would take care of the vets. However, a review of his voting record shows quite the contrary. Did you know: He voted NO on Additional Funding For Veterans Amendment which states, "S Amdt 2634 to S 2020: To provide an additional $500,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2006 through 2010, to be used for readjustment counseling, related mental health services, and treatment and rehabilitative services for veterans with mental illness, post-traumatic stress disorder, or substance use disorder." He voted NO on Health Care for Veterans Amendment which states, "S Amdt 1937 to HR 2863: To ensure that future funding for health care for former members of the Armed Forces takes into account changes in population and inflation." McCain voted NO on Tax Rate Extension Amendment which reads, "S Amdt 2735 to S Amdt 2707 to HR 4297: To support the health needs of our veterans and military personnel and reduce the deficit by making tax rates fairer for all Americans." He voted NO on Military Funding and Tax Cuts Amendment which says, "S Amdt 2737 to S Amdt 2707 to HR 4297: To strengthen America's military, to repeal the extension of tax rates for capital gains and dividends, to reduce the deficit, and for other purposes". And he voted NO for Expressing Support for All Men and Women in the U.S. Armed Forces which states, "Vote to adopt an amendment that opposes comments that criticize the honor, integrity, and patriotism of individuals serving or having served honorably in the United States Armed Forces." He also voted NO on State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization which states, "HR 976: A bill to amend title XXI of the Social Security Act to reauthorize the State Children's Health Insurance Program, and for other purposes." He voted NO on Hurricane Victims Tax Benefit Amendment which says "S Amdt 2602 to S 2020: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide tax benefits for areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma and to extend certain expiring provisions, and for other purposes." He voted NO on Family Tax Relief Amendment which states, "S AMDT 527 to S 949: To provide tax relief for working families, to increase the rate and spread the benefits of economic growth, and for other purposes." McCain voted NO on Employment Nondiscrimination Act of 1996 which states, "Vote to pass a bill that extends the federal protections provided under the Civil Rights Act to sexual orientation. "S 2056: A bill to prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. He voted NO on Native American Funding Amendment which states, "S AMDT 211 to S Con Res 18: To restore funding for tribal programs and provide necessary additional funding based on recommendations from Indian country." He voted NO on Union Organization Bill which reads, "HR 800: To amend the National Labor Relations Act to establish an efficient system to enable employees to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to provide for mandatory injunctions for unfair labor practices during organizing efforts, and for other purposes." And finally, McCain voted NO on Hate Crimes Bill which reads, "S 625: A bill to provide Federal assistance to States and local jurisdictions to prosecute hate crimes, and for other purposes. Vote on a motion to invoke cloture on a bill that would allow the Federal government to assist State and local government when prosecuting hate crimes." A website called www.votesmart.org provided the information for this report. Good luck. And see you at the polls in November.

You people aren't fooling anybody. so now that he is elected and has filled his offices with Israelis, and put a lesbian in charge of homeland security and taken to trying out gun control, and has spent 4 times as much as every other president combined,are you still going to be a dickles wonder and say this is the right guy ?

Hey aurpranorth, if it weren't for 'Isralies', blacks, lesbians, Jews, Muslams, Japs, Chinese, Frenchmen, Puerto Ricans, Arabs,'liberals', latinos, Mexicans, immigrants, minorities, and foreigners who would you racist republicans have left to hate? LOL!
The reason Obama is spending so much on the economy is because he inherited a devastated economy and a looming depression from George W. "Oil for Brains" Bush and te Republicans. Obama is now forced to pay the bar tab for the Republican Party's drunken spending binge during the six years from 2001 to 2006 when they controlled all branches of the govertnment. And let's see you name something Obama has done to "try out gun control". You can't do it can you? Never let the truth get in the way of what Rush Limbaugh and Fox 'News' tell tell you. LOL!

The truth? LOL! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!
Here's a little exercise for all you brainwshed right wing republican ditto heads out there. Name a great conservative. Go ahead. Give me a list of great conservatives from throughout history. What are you waiting for?
I can name plenty of great liberals. It's easy to rattle off the names of great liberals. Jesus, Buddha, Copernicus, DaVinci, Michelangelo, Galileo, Voltaire, Locke, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, Adams, Darwin, Dickens, Hugo, Melville, Lincoln, Twain, Picasso, Einstein, Gandhi, Martin Luther King. I could name more, but that'enough to prove my point.
Now for the names of great conservatives? Hmmm. Let's see. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmm. Oh yeah. Rush Limbaugh and and Ronald Reagan . Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!

Unfortunately, there is no reason when it comes to a statist and his methods..... never waste a crisis.... play the race card.... If you want any convservative (no matter what party to which they belong, e.g. Libertarian, Republican, Democrat, Independent)to name a great conservative try naming every person that framed our constitution for the individual in a civil society that takes responsibility for themselves and doesn't become dependent upon the state for their survival which, ultimately, in the end denys everyone of their freedom and thus becomes a Tyranny even unto itself. Enjoy your elf imposed oppression.

Here's a newsflash for you. Framing the constitution didn't make the framers "conservatives". It's progressives who fight for change, not conservatives. Conservatives hate change. Conservatives in the founders' days were happy to remain under British rule. So don't hand me any right wing psycho babble about how the framers were "conservatives". By the way, if you are such a big "individualist" why don't you stay off federal highways or raise your own army and police force? Are you going to turn down your government social security when you get old? How about government proivided clean air, clean water and consumer protection? LOL! You aren't such a big "iundiuvidualist" when the goverment offers you something YOU need are you?
The Republican Party held a majority in both houses of Congress, held the presidency and a majority on the Supreme Court between 2001 and 2006 and they offered NOT ONE attempt to eliminate individuial welfare programs. So when you imply conservatives have some correlation to "individualism" you are just whizing in the wind.
