Comments on: Polls Show Obama Struggling to ‘Close the Deal’ http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/05/02/polls-show-obama-struggling-to-close-the-deal/ America's Election HQ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:22:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Rena Modisette http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/05/02/polls-show-obama-struggling-to-close-the-deal/#comment-360898 Rena Modisette Fri, 16 May 2008 02:29:14 +0000 http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/05/02/polls-show-obama-struggling-to-close-the-deal/#comment-360898 I don't believe that someone can sit under a pastor for nearly twenty years and not hold the same views as that pastor. I would never put my children in a place where they would be under the influence of someone that I didn't totally trust and believe that the person was going to tell them the truth as a religious leader. If you are a responsible parent you want your children influenced by someone that teaches the the way you believe. So either Obama believes the same as the reverend and trusts him with his children's hearts and minds or he has certainly fallen short in his judgement as a parent. If he doesn't have any better judgement than that I surely don't want him as my president. His outrage, it seems to me, was a political tactic.

I think the shoe is on the other foot now, Mrs. Clinton now has failed to seal the deal. Lets move on beyond this, it’s game over, and senator Obama has a lot of work ahead. Lets move forward towards beating Senator McCain. We all in America are more then ready for a true change in government. Senator Obama is going to bring back that freshness we need to venture on into the twenty-first century. I believe we can once more be that light for the world in creating a better world not only for America, but for everyone on the planet.

What impresses me the most about Barack Obama is a man regardless of his color who graduated from Harvard Law School Magnum Cum Laude. This is very high honors for those who don't know. It is hard enough to get into the number one law school in the nation much less compete with the best law students in the United States in grade point average. Not only was Barack Obama a honors law student but he was also voted as the President of the Harvard Law Review which is quite impressive. This man Barack Obama is not a black man but an exceptional man with an exceptional mind. On the other hand, Hilliary Clinton went to Yale Law School which is rank the second best law school in the nation. There was no mention as to her achieving any exceptional efforts in her law school endeavors other than just meeting Bill Clinton and graduating. If we look at the thought processes of Hilliary with the gas tax and the mandatory forced health care, and her contradictory position in the War in Iraq, we see her judgment is not even close as Barack Obama judgment. The Reverend Wright controversy is not based on comments which came directly out of Obama's mouth like Hilliary's sniper fire remarks in Bosnia came directly from her mouth. So who has the better judgment and who will make the better President of the United States. I happen to be a lawyer.

I would not be surprised if she paid some one to have Rev Wright to say all these things. The picture needs to resurface with Wright at the clinton white house. And also when hillary asked him to come and pray for her during the monica deal. How about here pastor who is supposed to be a child molester. So should this also not be brought up. Of course she has a million to pay them to shut up, and to buy the super delegates to come over to her. She might as pick Willy as vp, cause he will be running the show any way. He can live in the vp living quarters and get another string of monicas going. Is this the kind of people we want in the white house? I think not. Well I believe Obama will rise above all this and come to the top again. So hillary is at it again, trying to have obama put down.

Obama did just what his pastor said, he did what political figures do, he says what he needs to, to get to acheive his objective....so how is that a change from any other political figure? We have to talk about this guy, because he is an issue all his self. Remember this one: Its improtant to be right on day one....well with all the stuff that has dogged him these last weeks, he wont be right on day one, he would be just the same type of candidate that we have seen in past elections. He will get the nomination, because people ran out hopped on a band wagon, before they knew anything about the guy.

All the shouting and rendering to the jury would leave some to believe the opposing lawyers may hate one another yet the who thing is just a show to properly defend their client. I see the same with Senator Obama and his yanking the chain of Dr. Wright. Did he really yank the chain? Was this an event put on the public stage to convince the jury (you and I) to vote the way of Senator Obama's client (himself)? To date the Senator has not convinced myself even though I consider him a good candidate for President. I have doubts if electiced, would President Obama place Dr. Wright with all his pitfalls in the Whitehouse Staff? Senator Obama is a lawyer. Senator Obama has been in court (do not know) with a case.
