I am happy to hear Mr. Obama is coming to Fl, I would love to me him personally and be able to ask questions and learn more about him, from what I have seen daily, he may be a little different from what we have seen in the past, but I think he is pretty much honest, and show outstanding integrity, this is what we need.

Unforunatly, as a former Repub, we have lost our way and McCain is simply not what he once was, I really believe he is suffering early signs of Alzehimers disease.

I will be happy to meet and really get to hear Mr. Obama's views on what he will do for our state.

Unless he throws his FULL SUPPORT in seating the Florida delegation he might as well stay at home. The man is a phony.

Everyone remembers the economy under Bill Clinton. Does anyone remember he was the one to repeal the Glass Seagall Act? The whole idea of keeping the banks and security firms apart was to protect the public.We're seeing the results of this deregulation now and its not all to Bush's discredit.

How can I support a candidate who has benefitted from the donations of a wealthy Hamas terrorist, has connections to the muslim world that wants to obliterate Israel from the face of the earth ?
Iran, Syria and the Al-Queda all cannot wait for this man to be elected !

Add to that,his whole life spent at the side of an extremist black minister whom he NOW does not want to know !

Very suspicious if you ask me..........

Fire Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi for supporting and nominating this racist piece of garbage. What a joke. Every time his mouth moves I see his mentor/pastor speaking.

Yep, the devastation wrought by the Dot.com bubble sunk several people I knew who speculated and lost their shirts on the false promises made by Clinton's administration.

I still remember the fires at Wako. Can't give 'em a fair trial if they're dead. What? Innocent women and children got killed in the process? Nice going, Jan... Hey! Everyone look! A new Dot.com IPO!

We all remember little Elian. His mom gave her life to bring him to freedom. Bill Clinton sent armed comandos and at gunpoint, handed him back over to the Communist state to be used as a propaganda tool. Sure his father said he wanted Elian to be returned. He likes to eat and breath, too, yes?

What you're really trying to remember is the "Carter Years", because that's who Obama is parroting policy from right now. Weren't around then? Well, you weren't around when the Nazi's ran Europe either. Do yourself a favor. READ about Carter, read what he promoted for his policies, then compare it to what you hear from Obama. TRY to learn from the past or you are doomed to repeat it's biggest mistakes.

I have a much different take on that story. A father has a the right to raise his son no matter what country he happens to hail from. More of a right than a political party. You seem to believe anarchy, defying the law, and riots in the street are acceptable to further the cause of a few. You and others like you would have been a nice fit at Wako.

Hillary (hereinafter referred to as she) could have cared less about Florida voters in the beginning of her campaign when she agreed then to throw our votes to the wayside. This gerrymandering has cost her this election. Now our votes should count? Now she's gerrymandering (again) in an attempt to get our votes to count. How many voters in Florida did not even go vote because they knew their vote wouldn't count. Since the outcome turned out to be favorable to her, now she thinks they should count. If they can't do a revote, they should not count.

This woman is monster. She's worse than Bush. Talk about rigging an election!

Obama would be just a big an election rigger if gave any thought to making the Florida votes count.

For me, this is too little too late. He never wanted our vote to count because he knew he would never win FLA. Now he needs to win FLA in the general election. For someone who is a "different kind of politician", he sounds like all the rest of them.

I have seen a lot of frauds and crooks in the Political arena in my long life. Barak Hussein Obama is by FAR the most brazen and shameless. He is a nobody from nowhere, touted by the News Media, created by the Chicago political machine, and fed on Marxist doctrines that REAL Americans abhor. The fact that he is a lyin' gnigger is no new thing. The fact that he is trying to steal the Government, which equals the Treasury, is kind of new. Stand by for the slaughter. The ground rules for his candidacy are several but strict. You can't be critical of his Spock ears. You can't SAY his middle name is Hussein. You can't point out that he is a Liberal, or a Black Liberation Theology worshiper, or that his mother was white, or that he associates with criminals, terrorists, Nation of Islam and its supporters. If you DO, or if you say you don't think a black candidate can represent WHITE Americans ,(given his involvement with the "God Dam KKK America spouting minister of over 20 years) you get pegged as a Racist. Well, peg me that NOW then. He is a disaster, but at least he is keeping Hillary busy.

While he is here, would someone remind him that in THIS country, unlike the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC),that there are 50 states and not 57?

The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC),is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 nations, most of which are Islamic, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.

Thank you.

UGH! Where do you get your information? So, he's a Muslim, but he goes to a Christuan church you don't like. Tell me exactly what errorist has contributed to his campaign? It's uneducated folks like yourself that believe any email you get in your inbox.

Did you really say "So what if he's a Muslim?" He has an advisor and contributor that is a bomb throwing, building burning, unrepetent member of the "Underground Weathermen" from the 60s. Are you nuts? Are you not in touch with WHO this phony IS? Being a Democrat is one thing, being an ENEMY of the USA is another. You CAN be both, however. He is a FATALLY flawed candidate, and phony polls are not going to get him elected. If you though the 527s gave KERRY hell, just wait until Fall.

During an interview with WABC radio in New York, Ahmed Yousef, chief political advisor to the Prime Minister of Hamas said: "WE like Mr. Obama and WE hope he will win the election, why?...He has a vision to change America"

I wonder what changes would make Hamas HAPPY??????

AS A 39 YR. OLD NATIVE FLORIDIAN, I MUST SAY THAT I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE POLITICAL SYSTEM, BOTH NATIONALLY AND IN THIS STATE!!! I DON'T HAVE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN ANY POLITICIAN, BUT IF MCCAIN TAKES CONTROL, THINGS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SPIRAL DOWNHILL. WE NEED TO PACK-UP AND LEAVE IRAQ, LET THEM KILL EACH OTHER, AND WE'LL START TAKING CARE OF OURSELVES. YES, THERE WILL BE INSTABILITY THERE FOR A WHILE. BUT AS A MILITARY DAV, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH OF THIS "BATTLE AGAINST GLOBAL TERROR". SAY WHAT YOU WANT. BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS BECOMING ANOTHER VIETNAM!!! SCUM BAG BUSH AND HIS PEOPLE SET-UP 9-11 TO SCARE AMERICA ENOUGH TO ENTER THIS REDICULOUS WAR!!! SAY WHAT YOU WANT.

Just what are you basing your opinion on John McCain suffering from alzehimers??

Yea, sure what are your chances of having a discussion with Obama on a one to one basis?? And just what questions would you ask him?? How about

1. Why did you stay in a church for 20 years with a pastor who preached anti American sentiments??
2. What are your ties with William Ayers and his wife from the Weatherman??
3. Explain your wife's comments on the first time in her adult life of being proud to be an American.
4. Who authorized one of your advisors to meet with Hamas and now fired??
5. Who authorized one of your advisors to meet with the Canadians on NAFTA and told them not to worry as nothing will change and is now fired??
6. Give his position on why a president should meet with without preconditions, with leaders of Cuba, Syria, Iran, North Korea and Chavez.
7. Why is he against seating the delegates from Florida and Michigan??
8. Why is he against drilling for oil within the borders of the Untied States??
9. Why is he for giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens?? What is his immigration policy??
10. Why does he want to raise taxes especially on investments?? This was done under Carter and failed.
11. When asked a question, why do you feel it is divisive??

These are just a few of the questions you should ask if you had the chance to do so. But, you'll never get to meet Obama or ask him any questions. Just keep reading the drive by media, watch CNN, MSNBC, listen to Chris Matthews and Keith Oblerman. Face the facts, Obama has never been vetted and is currently the darling of the media - who has crowned him the president - the liberal wing of the Democratic party, and the elitists of the party.

Don't miss this Billary faithful!(and other Dems). Get to meet the candidate you have been appointed, not elected, by you anyway! I am finally beginning to think even that liberal McCain may win the presidential election, even after the Republicans conceded the next four years. I find it amusing but sad that the Dems can't even run a primary (non-counted major states, super-mystery delegates)! Fix your problems, and try again in 2012. But try to stop blaming President Bush for the 2008 defeat. Take ownership for YOUR actions. Your party sounds like a welfare mother blaming the man for having to drive a used cadillac to renew her food stamps. Vote Nader, it WILL count!
