To: Really Really,

Any reasonable and discernable person will give
careful or critical attention to what the presidential
candidates and their wives say and do on the campaign
trail.

After paying careful attention to the words coming
from Mr. & Mrs. Obama during the campaign on
America, the U.S. military, health care, and a host of
other issues, I can say I developed a skeptical attitude
toward their ability to lead the United States of America.

I have loved my country since I was taught how to stand at attention
(age 2 with help from my father) and place my hand over my heart
during the playing of our national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner.

However people today want to get rid of the customs and traditions of
our great country. As a history buff on secular and bibical history
I have found one of the first things that goes when a country starts to
die is its customs and traditions.

regards,
David Bumgardner

I hate this freakin country! Change will definitely fix this! When my husband is spending nearly 300 billion dollars we borrow from the Chinese, pay for the houses people couldn't afford, take over delinquent state pension funds, destroys the greatest medical system on the planet, and soak the small business owners/job providers (oops, I mean rich people), it'll draw the country together across party lines to a happier place. The poor will be so much more appreciative when they can afford an x-box to go with the flat screen. The former small business owner will be happier working for the corporation that went to europe because taxes were lower. He'll also be so thankful when he finishes work he can go to his unemployed neighbor's house that he couldn't afford and play the x-box the working man payed for. Yes. change will be great!

I believe the President of the United States should be of Christian faith and born and bread in the United States; including both parents. But the color of your skin doesn't make a difference. What Michele Obama said about being "proud of her country now" only tells me that this is the way she actually feels about her country she might say now that she didn't mean it that way but the first statement came from her inner thoughts. She just didn't mean to voice it that way. I was told the other day that a person's child at school had a homework assignment on one of the candidates. She did her assignment on Barack Obama. His father is of Moslem faith (which is ok but not for the President of the United States) his mother does not believe in God. I don't know if I could trust this.

When you look at comments like this, it reflects the FAMILY dynamics. This is how they both feel or she would not have been comfortable in saying it out loud. I am disgusted with the attitude presented. I am disgusted with Obama's mightier than thou attitude. He has been totally unprofessional in his debates and has show open hostility towards Senator Clinton. This speaks to his real character. He isn't what he wants the public to believe and I cannot imagine why so many people are blind to his poor attitude. Like I said, He just lost my vote, and in speaking with many family and friends, he has also lost their votes. It is bad enough that we have a war monger on the republican side running, now we have a racist on the other. I will sooner vote for the war monger if Obama gets the nomination.
