I haven't... and I was thrilled- at first- to hear that a fellow black man was going to seek the American presidency. Well, we are fellows no more, as Mr. Obama has convinced me that he is just one more ****** seeking a juicy job. No, I'm not going to argue with you. No, I'm not going to substantiate my opinions in detail- the video posted above will do that just fine, thank you. And, finally, no, I'm not going to justify any idiotic notions, by responding to attacks upon my intelligence and/or educational attainments. Have a nice day, and be sure to be on the lookout for political bushwah and rotating clouds (not necessarily in that order). Peace out.
Rare it is that I see a post where a candidate's name can be so perfectly substituted.

That seems to be the theme with liberals. Flowery rhetoric and nonsensical diatribes trump common sense and facts with those folks. Sounds kind of like a presidential candidate we know about doesn't it?

This is really interesting, I really just don't get ingorant people in this country. Obama has never once said he disliked white people or any other race. Yet because of comments of his pastor (which by the way, I heard the whole sermon and he did not mention anything racist in his sermon) he is racist. What about Bush and his dad calling his own grandchildren "darkies". I guess thats a compliment in your mind. How can Obama mess up when "W" has managed to allow this country to go into stagnation, fight a ridiculous war based on lies, allow record high gas prices, high unemployment, etc., etc. Oh by the way...there is nothing wrong with Africa or having pride in your heritage. Where do you think life began...AFRICA. Last time I checked, the cradle of civilization was not in any country other than Africa. I guess if you think having pride in your heritage is racism, everyone in this country is racist. By the way, your comments are the very reason it is hard for anyone who is Black to be proud of a country that only 40 years ago murdered her citizens not for crimes, but because of their skin. Raped her women becuase of their skin, killed children at church because of their skin, hung the very war heroes who fought for this country IN THEIR UNIFORM just because they were black. You tell me, if you were black, would you say that you are proud of "your" country. By the way, last time I checked Obama is Christian not Muslim. Are you racist? I'm sure someone in your lineage hated Black people (or still does)...I'm only guessing though.

Obama is weak, HE will destroy America, he will appoint judges that will stay long after his run of stupidity is over... We have learned just recently in California what a liberal judge thinks about the People ... The Majority voted and made a law banning same sex marriage. Can you imagine having 100 of these judges making every decision for you, no matter what you want , the ones who are supposed to have a voice and the real say it will not matter .. it is a very scary thought..These are a few more reasons why not to vote for this liberal piece of scum.
1) He IS the most liberal senator in Congress.
2) He wants to repeal DOMA.
3) He's an admitted junkie (coke and pot, mostly).
4) He's an elitist.
5) He hangs out with crooks and racists.
6) He himself is a racist who considers babies to be "punishment".
7) He attends a church that pledges allegiance to the "mother continent Africa" and the Black Value System.

8) He Opened his Campaign in the House of a Guy that Bombed the Pentagon, and still thinks it was right, and serves on a board with him. GOOD FRIENDS HE MAKES RIGHT?
9) His wife is a whiney elitist who believes she was able to get ahead in society in spite of America's attempt to hold her down; she graduated from Harvard. And she's only just now proud of America because her husband has made it this far (or maybe because he's running for president and anti-Americanism isn't popular in America, except in Hollywood, Berkeley, and a few other socialist hotspots).
10) He browbeats the hard-working Americans to give money to the poor and downtrodden, while he himself only gives a paltry 1% (though it did shoot up as high as 4% in the years after pursuing the presidency).
11) He won't make any tough decisions.
12) He doesn't understand fundamental economic principles, except of course for his favorite - Marxism - which will allow him to take from those who work and give it to those who will more than likely **** it away (e.g., the government). Case in point - the oil companies. They received a low 7% return on investment, yet because they are hedged against inflation risk (high oil prices are a direct result of the plummeting dollar, not oil profiteering), and benefiting from China & India's rapid industrialization, he wants to take it away. This, of course, will only entice oil companies to close, restricting supply ever further and thus increasing the price of gas. Meanwhile, schools like Harvard and OSU (yes, The Ohio State University) sit on billion dollar endowment funds and cry to Congress about needing subsidies. Fact: Harvard raked in a profit of $7 BILLION last year of their endowment fund investments alone - a 23% return! Why aren't we going after their profits?
13) He wants to deny law-abiding citizens their constitutional right to keep firearms.
14) He's not good at the job he has now; He only bothers to vote some of the time (he missed one-third of the votes in 2007), which, based on his record is actually probably better for America.
15) The guy is so cold-hearted that he actually supported legislation that allowed doctors to deny basic, fundamental care to babies so long as they were botched abortions. So, if you tried to kill your baby and failed, you simply wait until he's born, then just let him die.
16) He's a liar.
17) He's a cry-baby who only whines about how bad things are, but if you press him for details on how he can make it better, he has no plan; or worse, if he does have a plan, and it's to raise taxes so he can spend more on his liberal propaganda programs (like Midnight Basketball).
18) He wants a government controlled universal healthcare program. Universal healthcare should be one of our goals, but it should be provided by the open-market and NOT be administered in any way by the government. Think about having to get a kidney from the BMV. By the way, if the government did ever become the country's sole provider of healthcare, you can kiss beer, cheeseburgers and cigarettes goodbye, because the first thing our omniscient lawmakers would do is pass a series of laws to outlaw smoking, drinking and obesity in order to "bring down costs". Remember, Nazi Germany did the same thing. The actual Nazi Socialist Party Slogan was: "Your body belongs to the state. Your body belongs to the Fuhrer. Health is not a private matter."
Barrack Hussein Obama is just bad. He's bad in the Senate, and he'd be even worse as the President. Frankly, I only think he got this far because the majority of his supporters are tripping over themselves to prove that they're not racist. (note: When Condi decides to run, she has my vote).
By the way, while HE may not be a self-described Muslim, you can't overlook the fact that both his father and step-father were radical Muslims (fortunately, though, his mom was just an atheist), and that he spent time studying in Indonesia - the most Muslim nation in the world.

Well put. Straight from Moveon.org and the DNC website. God, some of you people obviously choose to live in the dark. Bush's economic policies WORKED! Look at the relevant data, not media BS, and you'll see the truth. The real estate correction is the impetus for the slowing of the economy. We are not in a recession because the economy is still growing, albeit not as fast as would be liked. War based on lies huh? More Moveon garbage.

Listen, I could care less what color of skin Obama has. I despise him because he is a socialist, plain and simple. His background, associations, and proposed policy initiatives prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. I don't much like McCain because he's not nearly conservative enough but I'll hold my nose and vote for him because the alternative would be a disaster in proportion enough to make the electorate long for the days of Jimmy Carter.
