Answer WHAT question???? The only thing left to do on the guy is an anal probe - you want to volunteer to do that?

You claim to know everything about Palin. Without looking it up, can you name all the colleges she attended, all the social organizations she belonged to, all the extra curricular activities she did?

Give us a break? You've started dozens of these threads using this same line about all you are doing is trying to find the answers?

Who do you think you are Socrates?...LOL

How about you explain why you told a lie about Kerry leading by 11 points this time during the last election not 1 hour ago on another thread???

You lie and then you run?

CNN did a pretty thorough special on Barak Obama's life. They have done it on McCain, Biden and Palin as well. Obama also wrote a book you could read. I thought the CNN special was quite thorough. I watched the specials on Obama and McCain while I was trying to figure out who I was going to vote for. I found them very helpful.

Finally a legitimate answer. It still brushed over his college days and whom he associated with during the span right before, during and after he got out of school. It left out his travels abroad during that time also.

We know 3 of the 4 players in this race inside out, top to bottom, etc.

1. McCain: he is an open book, like him or not, we know the man's entire history, his family history, where he has been, who he has been with, where, how and with whom he grew up with, fought with and so on. His life is a genuine open book cover to cover. Sure, there are some flaws and black marks in there, but we at least know him.

2. Biden: same as above. Like him or not, his life is out there for anyone to pick over, nothing is hidden.

3. Palin: A brand new player in this game, but within 48 hours, her simple life was known from birth to where we she is today. A rather stereotypical small town life. Married high school sweetheart, stayed in her home town and lived a simple life, agree with it or not, we know her too.

4. Obama: we know some, bits and pieces here and there, but there are major holes in this guy's past, where he has been and with whom. Not they Ayers thing again, just his life in general. There must be things he does not want us to know, otherwise we would know it all. It is that simple. How do I draw this conclusion? Look at the other three above. They let it all hang out there for us to see. Why not Obama?

Again, I'm not stating there is a problem here, but it is a legitimate concern I have, as well as do many who support and oppose him. His life has not been a total open book for the world to see. Why?

I just registered to vote here in my new NC home today. I went to the library to do it where I was rudely greeted by a huge African American Woman. I was one of only a few whites and trust me, I don't look liberal.

I filed out the form and gave it back to her, FOLDED, she opened it and I could see her eyes go right to the little box checked republican. Her eyes literally rolled back and she said........"Since you registered on the last day, we can't make not promises your name will be on the list." She proceeded to walk into a back room with my application. I went to my car, then got pissed and walked back in and told her. "If my application does not make it, I'll be back and know exactly who to look for as to why it was not there and take the necessary steps to get you fired."

There is sooooooooo much BS going on out there by the democrats it is nuts! And most of the registration people who run these places are democrats. Pure BS!


How did you know she was a Democrat?

By posting this thread you help enable the negative fears that have dogged his campaign and forced him to make the above statement. Shame on you! Support your man! He said there is NOTHING TO FEAR!

Where did I say there is something to fear. I said concern and I believe unknowns, when it comes to the presidency is a concern. You all are twisting the facts with things I have not implied! I simply would like to know more about this guy and have a few questions unanswered about him.

Why the "F" do you people find this so offensive? Makes me wonder.

Tell me what Obama did before, duiring and right after college? Not just the highlighted stuff about his drug habits and riding around in limos with gay guys, but real content. Where was he, where did he travel to, who were his friends, what was he doing?

EXCELLENT POINT! Its because of posers such as these that cause fear mongering to spread... and poor John had to actually address it by telling his followers THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR...

The OP is playing the innocent game.. but is doing the good deed of John McCain a disservice....

AGAIN.. as per John McCain THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR!

Make that your Mantra!
