Obama's Working Resume: 1992- Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years, being first classified as a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and then as a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004. 1993 joined Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, a twelve attorney law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, with his law license becoming inactive in 2002. Obama was a founding member of the board of directors of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife, Michelle, became the founding executive director of Public Allies Chicago in early 1993. He served from 1993 to 2002 on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which in 1985 had been the first foundation to fund Obama's DCP, and also from 1994 to 2002 on the board of directors of The Joyce Foundation. Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995–2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995–1999. He also served on the board of directors of the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and the Lugenia Burns Hope Center. State legislator, 1997–2004 US Senate 2004 - present Basically this character has been in & out of the workforce for ONLY 15 YEARS including being a politician 11 of those 15 years! How is this a resume for success? I see "NOT READY" written all over this.

In Minnesota, a woman told McCain: "I don't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's an Arab." If the writer of this article likes that quote he ought to follow Michelle Obama around for awhile. Those quotes from the future also ran are precious.

Good for McCain - he told the truth to a confused lady - Obama is not an "Arab" or dangerous at all. McCain just thinks he would be a better president. Maybe the hacks on here will learn something? Nahhhhhhh.

Did anyone see the speeches today. The one elderly lady saying she was scared to vote for Obama because he was "Arab" and other excuses. I just really got the feeling that these audience people were sort of like "plants" at a tent revival meeting. Through their statements, he was able to "look" like he was trying to take the high road. When he just happened to need that sort of statement to serve as an opportunity to "Heal" his campaign.

Maybe the hacks on here will learn something? Nahhhhhhh. I'm not all crazy about McCain, his racial slur G00k was the icing on the cake. but besides that, I do admit he is a better man for not fuel for a mob to go rampant. Scary backwater people with shotguns and methlabs scare me. http://www.youtube.com/watch... These people don't need any encouragement to hate. They aren't here for politics they are here for some sort of lynching. Palin's an idiot who would let the run wild on ordinary citizens and cause chaos. But for mccain to actually put a hold on his political agenda to set the record straight is a good show of character. Not blind rage and stupidity. I can see that he does have good qualities that would make him a great president. unfortunetly I also see to many bad ones as well. We can't afford to have that in a time of economic crisis.

Same criticisms he over came when he won the Illinois state senate and then the Federal senate seat. He is not your average politician. He's got the right wing loosing sleep. Notice that the politics of fear aren't working. Notice that millions of American don't really care that the DOW dropped to pre Clinton Levels.

Various community organization, Senator of the USA, Law school harvard educated, yeah He should have joined the vietnam war became a POW to make things about even with mccain? I'm sorry but he has experience, he just needs to refine some points that's for sure.

McCain did take the high road. I think he had to see the ignorance he was feeding. Even McCain had to step back after realizing how gullible some of his supporters were. He's realizing his comments are taking to the farthest extreme...regardless of his intentions. It's amazing we have people like that woman voting...but it's their right. You only wish she was more intelligent because her right to vote morally demands intelligence. I bet this same woman who claims Obama is Arab and a Muslim has also screamed that Obama was part of the same Rev Wright Christian church for the last 20 years. .....I'm sure she doesn't reconcile the two thoughts. She just piles it all up on her "fear sandwich".

THANK YOU AMERICA, we are in a recession and a segment of AMERICA, would like to spew HATE, and we wonder why people are losing their JOB'S, HOME'S, and BANK ACCOUNT'S! AMERICA is in a decline, and a certain group, of hate, filled AMERICAN'S, would like to blame BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, for the decline of AMERICA. SENATOR BARACK OBAMA, made a statement, he "said, final verdict, well quess what people, their will be a changing of the GUARD'S! so this is to you HATE MONGER'S, you do not have the POWER, nor the AUTHORITY, to control what is DESTINED, your weapon's of DISCORD, are DESTROYED FROM THE ROOT! THE YEAR IS 2008, AND THE WORD IS "CHANGE" AND PLEASE CHALLENGE ME!

You moral compasses on the far right have nothing left do you? And as far as violence, we all know you'll be sitting your fatazz on the couch hoping SOMEONE ELSE does something.

And maybe violence? To whom and where? Just curious.

Please...I wouldn't be surprised if the media and/or Obama plants people in McCain's audience. There were claims that people were shouting racists statements but people at the McCain rally said they heard no such thing. There were about 4 protesters in the parking area. Everyone else was having a good time supporting McCain. Is there any video of the people where were supposedly shouting racists remarks? I certainly haven't seen any. And if there is, again, I wouldn't be surprised if they're plants.

I really think those may have been "canned questions" although I do believe she represents many of his followers. I am not trying to be sarcastic, but he really reminded me of Steve Martin in that movie "Leap of Faith" when I watched it.
