I keep reading how Obama has already been vetted by the Clinton campaign. The Clinton campaign was operating with satin gloves filled with feathers. The Clinton's didn't want to hurt the "Democrat" brand.

John McCain doesn't care about the Democrat brand. He doesn't have to. It's not his brand.

Bwwwwwarack Obamahahahahahaha is now going to face the Republican machine, which isn't so nice (Oh my gawd! Since I'll be voting Republican it will be SO MUCH FUN to be a total IDIOT Republican from here on out! I can sign up with Free Republic now AND I WON'T GET BANNED!! Woohoo!) Oh! Fun stuff, this John McCain campaign!!

You ask, what is Obama afraid of? Certainly not Republicans.

In-fact, if you are getting excited about this election then you better be ready for a huge letdown. The nation is so disgusted with Republicans, esp after Bush, that Democrats will be in charge for many many years.

"Republican machine" is to play on people's fears and prejudice. That brand of hate and insecurity is dead. Have fun why you can because your party is over; Bush closed the door on the last Republican administration in a very long time.

Uhhmmm. I'm a Democrat. Is my party really over? I won't vote for Obama due to inexperience and I don't care if a Republican becomes the next president (because the Senate and Congress are democrat) -- so -- is my party REALLY over?!!

I don't think so.

If Obama wins (with a Dem Congress and Senate) then I think the party would be over because the giveaways would astound everyone but the comatose.

Somebody just mentioned to me how she was concerned for Obama to be president with his lack of judgment on the number of political commercials he is paying for even though he seems to be running away with the election. She said if he spends his own money so foolishly, just think how free he will be with spending our money.

I mentioned that he seems to have plenty to spend and she said that one should not go foolishly spending money just because one has it. One should spend money only when one needs to spend money.

I don't know why he should have to spend anything with the news stations singing his praises 24/7. (Prefer not to mention the station) has been one long running commercial for weeks now. I just wish they would look into his "friendly" associations and point out his total lack of judgment. I would like to know where these individual voters are getting all this money to give him. It is just not logical that individual voters in a recessed economy would have so much money to spend on any candidate. I don't think any candidate would have enough money to run enough adds to counter all the free praise he is getting.

I hope these news stations are ready to take the blame when he starts destroying the USA. They will probably blame it on the voters. I personally am blaming them. If they would do objective reporting, Obama would not be getting as many votes. I wish it was against the law to report a negative about one candidate and not report a negative about the other candidates.

Reporting only positives about Obama and reporting so many negatives about the other candidates is just not fair reporting.

I used to actually listen to some of the news stations. They have lost their creditability in my opinion. Makes me wonder about other stories like Katrina that they reported. If you can't trust them to be unbiased in their campaign reporting, maybe some of these other stories are biased also. Maybe we think Bush is a bad president because they have just painted him that way. Makes you wonder if there is anyone you can trust.

I just turn them off. It has been ages since they pronounced Iraq correctly. There is no "e" or "o" in Iraq. It is amazing that people just follow along behind them and pronounce it wrong just because they do. I asked one of the troops how they pronounce Iraq and he said just like it is spelled. Not EROC.

I have a sneaky idea that the media plans to bring out all the "anti-Obama" information after he gets the Democratic nomination.

Then everyone will go "Yech."

And he won't win the Presidential election.

There is a LOT of negative information out there about him if you keep looking for it. While most of us don't have the time (Frankly, I didn't see that much until I started looking into "Obama Odingo") the info is out there for anyone who has the time to find it.

It makes me laugh when Teddy Kennedy, someone for decades who has advocated nationalized health care, supports Obama. I find it also rather arrogant of Mr. Kennedy- and his entire family of high privilege and wealth- who has never had to worry about affording health care, to support Obama, whom the republicans are going to tear to shreds in the fall.

I could be wrong- but I doubt Obama can win- It should be interesting to see however Closet liberal McCain being forced to come up with a health care plan similar to Romney's in Massachusetts. McCain will be forced into compromise by the democrats in congress.

Here is a picture of Obama volunteers that in Houston, TX that should make decent Americans see beneath the "pie In The Sky" curtain Obama is selling.

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/webl...heHouston2.jpg

That Cuban flag has the image of Marxist revolutionary Che Gavera on it. He was Castro's "death squad" general who brutally slaughtered thousands in the name of the Communist Revolution.

Now we are getting a clearer picture of Hussain Obama.

Here is another one:
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/webl...CheHouston.jpg

Obama damage control has issued a statement saying these are volunteers not attached to the Obama campaign.....un-huh, right.

I tell you...at the least Obama is a socialist who attempt to nationalize business and do away with free enterprise. Mark my words. If it becomes clear that he will be elected gun sales are going to become enormous. People are afraid of 2 things:

1. The Obamaniacs are going to riot. Life and property will be at risk. Every home will need a gun or guns for protection from roving bands of thugs using Obama as an excuse, either in jubilation if he wins or in disappointment if he loses.
2. Fear that "gun control" politicians will take control of the government under Obama who has supported gun control in the past. Sporting rifles and hand guns have recently seen a sharp spike in price anticipating this and sales are brisk. Expect them to increase even more. Some experts predict that if Obama is elected factories will not be able to keep up with demand and cheap imports (some of which are dangerous to the shooter) will frlood the market.

Iraq (help·info) - (1) /ɪˈrɑ(ː)k/, (2) /ɪˈræk/, (3) /aɪˈræk/
(1) is the preferred pronunciation in most dictionaries, and the only pronunciation listed in OED. MQD lists (2) first. (3) is considered uneducated or unacceptable to some. It is the pronunciation which is least like the original Arabic pronunciation /ʕiˈɾɑːq/.
I say EE-ROCK, but that sounds more proper than I-RACK, like GWB says. I figure if that's how he says it, that has to be wrong
