Here's something for you to sit on. Obama does not run anything. He has people to tell him how to do everything.

Yeah, Obama lied about taking public money and McCain was restricted to being limited to how much he could raise by getting money from Feds which require standards.

Obama spent six to seven times what McCain spent, and guess what, it is about dead even, that isn't a great campaign.... That is poorly spent money by Obama to get each vote...

By that standard, guess what Obama will do for your taxes...

Yes, his "Handlers" run his campaign, not Obama. McCain has the same issues, but he has spent a lot less than Obama and the dollar per vote is about 8 bucks for Obama to each 1 buck for McCain....+-

That makes McCain's operation a lot more effective for the money spent... Obama can't claim that...

Telling you what you want to hear, verses telling you the truth is a lot of streaching...

I'm sure Hitler and Stalin made sense at the time, as well. I have some Arizona beach front property to sell you that just "makes sense"...

Granted, Politicians have a tendency to not tell the "Whole" story, but when they don't walk the line, they show more than what they talk.

Obama has shown me nothing other than he is a great speaker. Knows how to steal your money from earmarks, and spend money that isn't his.

McCain on the one issue of earmarks, has taken "0" since he was first in the Senate. That shows a lot more values, Obama just said he would suspend taking them for the Campaign, he plans on going right back to the old way if he loses.

Well Obama won, he is now going to be President for all of us.

I wish him well and hope he does his job as eliquently as his speeches.

The world is a very dangerous place and he is now in charge of keeping us safe.

We need to all stand behind him and support him as our President, we are Americans first, left and right second.

God speed to our troops and keep them safe....
