I might also add that as a black man, Obama has NOT been given the consideration that Clinton, McCain, or any white person has in the country as he has sought to discover and determine his destiny. It has been a harder road for him, like it is for any black person in this country. More barriers, more opposition, less consideration, more skepticism, lower raises, fewer opportunities, first to fire, last to hire, prone to being skipped over, prone to be rejected, snubbed, ridiculed, ignored, steered, deceived, discriminated against, and hated. That Obama stands where he is today speaks volumes about where he's been, who he is, what he brings to the table. Obviously, the majority of the country recognizes this.
I'm curious. Would you say the same of Condi, Colin Powell and Clarence Thomas?

No I don't believe him. But then I believe very little of what any career politicians says. They lie out of habit and can't control themselves.

Gee, 75% think that Obama is a liar... I wonder what the next primaries will reveal. This is interesting because it seems that there are more Obama followers on this sight or maybe that is because they are more outspoken and get more attention. I would have figured with all the treads from the Obama people about Hillary being a liar that she would have been ahead in this poll. Very interesting. I think Hillary still has a chance no matter how the media is trying to sway the votes to Obama.

And no matter if I am sunny or not, I have an opinion on Obama and I see many more are following in my footsteps as time goes by.

The truth is this man has not one single qualification to become our President, not one.

No accomplishments while being a Senator, lack of judgment of people, poor skills with people who put him on the edge or challenge him, experience is a necessary factor for this job and his resume is very short. His ability to speak does "not" overule his ability to lead our country.

For me, he is not yet ready, able to qualified to become our President.

So, sunny will stay smiles and sunshine for me as long as Mr. Obama doesnt get into the White House and tax me to pieces.

Sunshine will again me shining because my family is best protected by someone with experience in McCain. Although I do not agree with him on many issues, I do on my heart believe he will be a strong protective President who will kick butt if need be or make darn sure we are safe first and foremost.

The Presidents job is to protect us first and foremost, the rest is just part of the job. So with that said Obama nor Hillary qualify for the job.

Would you want me to change my name to Honest Chick? Because I am just being honest with myself and fell for his line of change for a short time, not any longer. I like many got so tired of a Bush White House I was willing to listen, now I listen, think and react and McCain fits me and my families needs better then the other two who have divided destroyed my former party all by themselves.
Please feel free to vote for the candidate of your choice, then. And regardless of who replaces Bush, I think we'll all be as safe as we've ever been.

Wow, guess I was not the only one to see he totally and outright lied to us and got caught doing it.
This guy is running on change and honesty, well he has failed at both of them.
The media has allowed this to pass and given him a free ride on this. There is lies, but this one takes the cake.

It really doesn't matter that 75% or 100% of the people on this thread think he lied because the "national polls" prove otherwise. Obama bounced back very well after his speech. I guess there are a lot more people, like myself who listened very carefully to what Obama said, instead of assuming he was there for those particular sermons and heard those particular words. We are all delusional characters, the supporters and those recent super delegates who have endorsed Obama, including the Clinton's friend Bill Richardson which came "after" the Rev. Wright story.

Richardson wants to be VP... they are all going to jump on the bandwagon to protect their personal interest (it is called survival) and they don't care about what happens in the future... hey, they voted for Bush afterall (can you imagine). It is a popularity contest and not a contest of substance.

It is a simple question: do you believe that Obama attended a church for 23 consecutive years and NOT ONE TIME, did he hear (or read in the church newsletter) Jeremiah Wright spill hateful, anti-American, racists rants???

Do you also believe that Obama NEVER knew that his "church" was involved with the racist, anti-Jew, anti-American hatemonger, Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam??


Simple questions. Please vote. Thank you.
When the clips are played in their entirety, they are a completely different animal than what our sensationalist corporate ***** media has portrayed.
