He wants to determine or define the issues to suit him best. Senator, you are the issue. Your Pastor/Mentor Jeremiah is an issue. Your newly found Faith on the Campaign trail is an issue. Your scorn for Typical White Persons is an issue. You made Small-Town Americans an issue. Why don’t you wear your Flag pin? For America the reason you don’t is an issue. I can go on and on. Your Cousin Odinga is an issue. Let us work through them and answer our Questions. Stop the sound bytes, and the Wind and the Spin. Tell us the truth.

Let us join together and trample John McCain. The guy is old and outdated in his policies. What this country needs right now is a fresh young politician namely Barack Obama. We need to dicuss the future of this country, John will not be around long enough to see where we are headed to. Those that will be around for a longtime need to come out and vote for Barack!!
So much is at stake, lets take the John back to Arizona.

Why should I vote for someone who does not even feel strongly enough about this country to wear a pin with our flag on it? Come on, Actions speak louder than words and his actions have not shown me someone who is pro-America, it shows me someone who does not truly care about the regular people who work hard to keep this country afloat! Those are the people who are proud of our flag and show it! Also, why would cutting the gas tax at least for a summer be pandering, it makes sense to give some relief for the summer…

“is whether we are true to the ideals and values upon which this country was founded”
Must I remember You American Founding Fathers?
Because some time I think that some persons in America believe the communists like their new founding fathers.
It’s a WRONG!
Listen me, American People: before the United States. Then all others.
Before our family, then others family.
If I not defend my family, I cannot defend nother family or nation in the world.
Defend America, American People. With UNION which buid the United States.
And God bless all You.

I Think Obama is doing the right thing focusing on McCain

Its very disheartening to see John stay the course of a failed administration. Obama will offer a more pragmatic way of dealing with the US and the world. He comes from humble beginnings and has become successful through hard work and determination. Obama understands the plight of both rich and poor. He also comprehends the lives of Americans and other countries around the world. When John offer us more of the same wretched times. It is shameful to embrace Bush and his tactics. He’s not a patriot of America, he exploited America for his own personal gains. It new day and age where transparency matters in Government. Obama 08

Clinton said her favorite letter ended, “It’s not over until the lady in the pantsuit says it is.”

Senator, the lady in the pantsuit is losing her voice from screaming… “IT’S OVER” !!
You are embarrassing yourself and the Democratic party. Be a dignified woman and keep what self respect you have left, admit you are done and step aside, and let the race begin.

She needs to admit now that she is causing more harm than good, you cannot force things to happen. The majority has spoken. She is doing more harm now than good by forging ahead and causing further dissention between her Democratic party.

So let me get this straight. You are scared to debate Clinton during Democratic Primaries. But, you are willing to debate McCain and all your problems with Hamas, Iran, Ayers, Wright, your wife’s comments, your rural PA comments, etc… are fair game?

Sounds like a Sexist punk to me! You don’t know what you are getting into.

Don’t count your chickens Mr. Obama. You haven’t got chance against McCain and you still are not the democratic candidate. I am a Hillary supporter so if it’s not her it won’t be you, you can bank on that. I will vote republican for the first time in many, many years…

If people cannot see the desire of Obama to bring this country back, then they are blind. We need a new vision for the country not the old Clinton,McCain, Bush politics.

The question as why Sen. Obama does not wear a Flag Pin is a no-point, these flag-pins are even made outside the United States. How about the millions of Americans who don’t wear them? Shouldn’t Our Senators behave like all of Us?
I think the question of wearing that pin means really nothing, patriotism is in the hearts of Anyone who Loves America as a Free Country!

Obama seems to have forgoten what he wrote in his books about his heritage. Somebody needs to bring this up. His background seems to contradict what he is saying now.

The Democratic Presidential race is almost getting comical. The party has already been split down the middle and fractured. We have Hillary Clinton vowing to stay in the race at any cost and Barack Obama saying that he is now switching gears to face John McCain in November. I will bet that Hillary will be at the podium giving another speech about how she will not give up, just as someone says to her, “Excuse me Mrs. Clinton, we need the microphone now so that President-elect McCain can take the oath of office and be sworn in.
