how dare you present such specious arguments regarding the selecting process when you know full well that the liberal jewish media is in charge of the liberal jew democrat party! they selected a black stooge who can further their theft of the entire government. your refusal to acknowledge these people for the pernicious monsters they are has imperilled the future of this country.

Obama has a routine he acts out every day like a trained performer. Obama's handlers keep him on his script. The only thing that changes day to day is the dig he throws at McCain. Obama plays both sides against the middle on issues. Look at how he has handled off shore drilling. Obama doesn’t want to drill off shore but he says he would consider it. CAREFUL there, Obama didn’t agree to support off shore drilling he just said he would consider it. If Obama gets elected forget off shore drilling. He will save the planet like Pelosi and Reid. Obama has perfected the style of using the word “consider” in place of “agree” to fuzz over his position on an issue. He is a reincarnation of Bill Clinton and his quibbling over the meaning of the word “is”.

Any suggestion that the first amateur President wasn't the 43rd deserves to be dismissed out of hand. But while we're on the subject, I'm again just now listening to Robert McNamara, having feigned humility at the prospect of becoming Defense Secretary, recount Jack Kennedy's words that there "was no school for Presidents, either."

CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE Here are a few questions for the Messiah of Hope and Change, our Manchurian Candidate: Barack Hussein Obama What EXACTLY is he going to CHANGE in the USA? What changes to our energy, oil, and fuel problems does he propose? How will he reform and save social security? How do you protect capitalism with your socialist agenda? What kind of tax structure does he propose for us? What does he propose for health care and how do we pay? Why are you for slavery reparations? How can we trust someone with TWO (2) muslim fathers? How can we trust someone who "belongs" to a racist church? What exactly will he do to combat the islamic threat to the USA? How will he counter islam in other countries? Why does he belong to the racist Congressional Black Caucus? What will he do to upgrade and reform our military? What does he propose for homosexual marriage? What does he propose for gun control? What does he propose for illegal immigration, closing the borders, and the millions of illegal immigrants in the USA? What exactly will he do to solve our energy problems? plus one hundred more questions concerning the future of the USA.

I want Obama to debate John McCain! Why has he been avoiding it? What does he have to hide? Is he afraid that he will embarrass himself because he is a terrible impromptu speaker or because he doesn't have a real understanding of the real issues? Or both? Let's find out who these people really are before we vote on them! Obama certainly isn't offering a new kind of politics. Ironically enough, John McCain is! McCain proposed a summer-long debate tour around the country. That would be of benefit to the American electorate, but because Barack is so ethereal, he said no!

Obama would be the second amateur president. W.Bush, as governor, had about the same national level experience and rather less state level experience.

When talking about executive experience Bush had it as Gov. of Texas. Just as Clinton's only experience was Gov. of Arkansas and Carter's was as Gov. of Georgia. If Obama wins lets hope that he is more like the former than the latter. But just in case it works out the other way, I sugest the Secret Service brush up on their rabbit handling skills.

It is rather suspicious that Sarkozy was the first in to negotiate and would allow such ambiguous terms providing vulnerabilities for Russia to exploit, but that is a Bush issue. To the Democrats: Caveat Emptor

Obama is not only inexperienced, he is not a leader. He's a follower. He always has to stop and check the political winds before making a decision. There is a huge danger in this. The winds that you think you are following today have a tendency to change very quickly tomorrow, and you end up chasing after them. Only the true leader knows where the winds will be blowing tomorrow, or doesn't care, but follows his/her own inner compass. Obama is incapable of doing that, and so does not earn a right to be President of the United States.
