Obama, radical, Really? Radical? He doesn’t strike me as radical. I think the SLA (remember them?) the Black Panthers of the 60’s and the Hell’s Angels are radical. I…I…just can’t seem to picture Obama in the same light. Far as being a liar, what exactly is he lying about? Is it along the same line of lying, um…I don’t know, Bush kind of lying or something else. Betrayal? Really? Is that the Bush docutrine of betrayal or something less damaging? Why would anybody endorse this man? Why would we put a man like Bush with the threat of another man like Bush into office? You worry about an endorsement? Ummmm.

Do white women support neo conservatism? REALLY? Have they forgotten where they were in these United States of America pre-Civil Rights movement? REALLY?

Let’s be real. Unless you are part of the 1 percentile group, you are just a regular old joe. Let’s now kid ourselves. The Republicans, most of which are in that group, do not include the run of the mill Republican in their inner circle. So let’s study the issues, leave the churches and the preachers and all that other nonsense out of it, wake McCain up from his weekend naps and you Republicans needs to get busy!

It is amazing how the things that Future President Obama says are twisted and turned into what you people feel will gain the most attention by the public. I pitty you. How do you sleep? The truth is always there for you to report, but the lie–the lie–gets you the numbers and that is what is most important isn’t it?? God have mercy on you all. He’s a good man, unlike those whom you support. I also am interested in how much money Fox News pays the black men who have been speaking out against Obama. SLAVE MENTALITY NEVER DIES, IT JUST LIVES ON IN COWARDS.

I applaud Hillary on her strong fight for the nomination. I realize Obama has finally won the nomination, but what I don’t understand is how a man with his radical past, lies, betrayal, in his book, he states he will stand with the muslims. Why in the world would any citizen of the United States endorse this man?

You know, you are just like all the other journalist that work for fox news. You don’t know how to present the news to the public without letting iy obviously show that you are biased when it comes to certain issues. What ever happened to journalist being “real” journalists and just presenting the facts and not their opinions. I personally don’t want to hear your opinion and bias toward any certain person or group of individuals. I just want to know the facts, those that can be supported by strong evidence. You are not experts on everything that enters the news cycle. And furthermore, by allowing so called journalists such as Trotta to put the name fox after hers is just another reason why your news and those associated with it will never be a first class news program. And by the way, I do have a background in journalism, however, I am from the old school of journalism. where news stories weren’t focused on what the journalist though, but by facts and evidence only.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article ’s Rhetoric vs. Obama’s Hypocrisy « FOX Forum « FOXNews.com, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

The first thing I did after reading this article was to smile sadly to myself. I don’t support Obama, but I do not agree at all with your assessment of his remarks as hypocrisy. Rather than asking the students to ignore wealth, he was advising them not to sacrifice their health and happiness for money. Even though I don’t support Obama for president, I do support his remarks to those graduating students.

“You can take your diploma, walk off this stage and chase only after the big house and the nice suits and all the other things that our money culture says you should.” He continued, “But I hope you don’t.”

chase only…interesting, I am a Republican, ,any things Obama stands for, I do not agree with. But look at the text…there are more important things than money. He did not say it is bad to be rich, but that should not be the only incentive. Patroitism, love of man, compassion, doing the ‘right’ thing… aren’t these important?

If graduates take Obama’s advise who will pay the taxes needed to support all of his socialist programs?

you people are so full of hate. fox news should be taken off the air.

Did you listen to the whole speech or are you just incapable of understanding what you hear? I assume you are a native speaker of the English language. Had you listened and understood you would know that Senator Obama was calling for the graduates to serve the country. This very much like JFK’s call for Americans to “Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.” I expect more from a “fair and balanced” news network’s web page.

Charley Martel you should probably spend some time reviewing the salaries of first year associates listed on sites like Findlaw and Martindale before sounding like an uninformed idiot, many furst year associates make over $140k in base salary depending on their firm and location and can make over $170k with their bonuses. That is not counting the other perks and benefits they received.

hbo’s oz…

I Googled for something completely different, but found your page…and have to say thanks. nice read….

I do not believe he intended to tell people not to puruse the American Dream as you dramatically put it. I think he was suggesting that giving back to a community is something we shoud all do in some capacity.

Strange to make a comarison btw Clinton’s RFK comment and Obama’s speech at Wesleyan this past weekend. Yes, Obama is worth several million due primarily to 2 best selling books. So, why is that bad? I don’t see hypocrisy when it’s a fact that upon graduation from Harvard Law School, Obama took a job as a community organizer for <20K a year! How many Harvard law grads, much less any law grads do you know have taken about 20K a year after graduation? I’d say it’s rather admirable. Sure, I’m a bit more liberal in my political views however I have no problem with capitalism nor have I ever wished President Bush or VP Cheney to be hurt or worse. I find it disturbing that a journalist would make such a generalization which has no merit whatsoever. This sort of categorial thinking has plagued our politics for the past 20+ years and subsequently our journalism as well. Due to the choice of phrasing and generalizations sprinkled throughout this article, I see that the author is more interested in stirring the pot rather than actually doing some research. Clearly the author is not a student of American History or American Politics.

It is in their hearts and minds to call all right winged or republican people names it is their way of dealing with people who tell the truth about them , all we do is tell about how socialism will destroy this country and it will and I bet you I am called a name or two after I post this . Obama is not remotely qualified to be president that is the reasson I have to vote for McCain not because I am against someone who is black or half black being president , if he were running as a republican and had the right ideas I would vote for him . So any time a liberal calls you a name wear it like a badge of honor because you have just outed someone on the left.

Lot of good and poor comments. It is sad to see a a country that at one time was the hope of the world, brought down by apathy and ignorance. When you say I am Republican or Democrate, do you know even what it means. I am a Christian but I am going off to war, its sad.

Keep drinking the kool aid/propaganda, but ask yourself, what have I gained. Do you really believe that the polical process is a democracy, if so then please post when you voted for something that impacted your life, community for the better.

>(CNN) – Rupert Murdoch offered a dire prediction Wednesday for John McCain’s >chances in the general election.

>He will lose in a landslide, the News Corp. chairman said at a California >conference, according to Reuters.

>”You have got the Obama phenomenon, Murdoch said. “You have got, >undoubtedly, a recession … The average American is really getting hurt >financially and that all bodes well for [Obama].

Wow! At least the owner of FOXNEWS has some savvy!

Interesting point - but I am not sure that really explains the situation. With gas over $4 a gallon that changes everything.

This article makes me think Tammy Bruce is ignorant or just pretends to be in order to make Hillary’s situation sound better than it is. When she implies thats Obama and his supporters are worried of Hillary and thats the reason they want her to quit, she could not be more wrong. I think its clear Hillary has no chance at this point but her continuing this race is hurting the future democratic nominee and hence the party itself. I also find it amusing when Tammy takes pieces of Obama’s speech to make it sound like he’s anti-capitalism, when I’m sure he was merely saying that people should try to give back to the community while trying to achieve their goals.

Matt,

“He graduated with honors from Harvard Law and instead of working for a big firm did community work. He is merely saying that getting advanced degrees are not simply for the purpose of enriching and serving one’s self, but also to use that power to help others.”

First year associates in law firms,work 80+hours/week and don’t get paid as well as a congressman if you include perks and bribes. So please tell me more about public “service.”

Hasn’t anyone else wondered if Obama could have won those early primary states, if the news media hadn’t been so successful in keeping Jeremiah Wright, Rezko, and the Weather Underground under the cone of silence? Apparently he managed to muzzle his wife before more of her anti-American views became public. Has any poll taker had the courage to take a poll of who would change their vote if they could?

i hate socialism

I listened to the whole speech and Obama did not once imply that it is bad to persue the american dream. If you look for the negative you will surely find it. I assure you that one day you will look back over your life and wish you had not been so negative. Obama simply encouraged the graduates to persue a higher calling. One can do both give back and become rich. Obama has done this as well, he has made a good living for himself and is a public servant. MM

Helping the needy through churches and private donations is what to do. It is not the government’s place to force us all to give up a little of our pie. (as michelle obama said) Socialism is a horrible thing, and so is the hyprocricy.

[...] Tammy Bruce, a FOX News Political Contributor/Radio talk show host wrote a great article about the two Democratic nominees for President. She expressed my sentiments exactly when she wrote about the hypocrisy of Obama and the Democrats ridiculous bullying of HIllary to quit the race and some of Hillary’s bizarre statements. Follow the link to read the article. Tammy Bruce article [...]

This is quite possibly the most idiotic article I’ve ever read. My IQ is now lower thanks to you, and 2 minutes from my life are wasted forever. Obama had plenty of choices after graduating with honors from Harvard Law and being a former President of the Harvard Law Review- public service not being the most direct choice for material gain. Try again.

FEAR OF A BLACK PRESIDENT!!!!
THIS PAST EIGHT YEARS HASN’T SCARED YOU GUYS?
BUT, YOU ARE SCARED OF A MAN WHO IS NOT FROM

Unfortunately, to the family values/christian/moral/Godly party, Jesus would have been under that category of “radical socialist/Marxist/liberal” or whatever new name they’ve pointed at the so-called “radical left”. Jesus did not start a company, he gave up all his posessions and worked in public service…

No Jesus would not have. Jesus asked us to pick up the Cross and walk with him. He DID NOT put a gun at our head and force us to give up all our possessions so he could squander them on himself or use governmental power to redistribute wealth. Jesus knows this would be a break with one of the Commandments. Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and give to God what is God’s.

Loving your neighbor does not mean using the government to force others to cough up their wealth. Remember, charity is voluntary, and those that worship God, are significantly more charitable. Check out Arthur Brooks’s book “Who Really Cares?”. Well, religious people care, and a higher % of them happen to be Republican or Independent. The Democratic Party over the last two generations has gradually pushed out religion and religious people from any input.

What you do need to know about Obama is this: He voted to block legislation that would have allowed hospitals to give intensive care to babies who survived abortion. This means he contributed to murdering a BORN child by forcing the hospital staff to leave the child there to suffocate/starve. He is an evil man, and knows nothing about Christ or Christianity.

Jesus would have cradled that poor child in his arms and through sheer will, the same will of the Father healed that child. He would have taught us to pick up the Cross and truly live for God and others, not kill people and not rob people.

Who is Obama or any other leftist to tell me what I should and shouldn’t pursue? All of you Obama whiners about how “he was taken out of context” or “he’s right and that we should be less materialistic and greedy” should stop forcing the rest of America to behave like you do. Why is it ok for Barack Obama or any other lefty to be a millionaire but it’s not ok for anybody else to become one themselves?

I’m shocked that a FauxNews forum would allow dissenting opinions! Tammy, you could learn something from them. Your site filters out all opposing viewpoints. Very open minded. Considering the lies and deceptions that you disseminate, it’s good to have someplace where honest people can dispel the propaganda. I cringe when I think that people actually listen to your tripe and blindly believe it!

So if you don’t like Obama you are racist. If you don’t like Clinton you are sexist. So if you don’t like McCain you must be prejudiced against Seniors! How stupid.
Obama: America is ready for a President of color, just not you.
Clinton: We have a whole generation of voters that know only a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. For our children’s sake, let’s stop the cycle of abuse.
McCain: McBush
I hope 2012 has better choices.

I love how all of the presumably republicans here are talking about how Obama is going to tax them to death.

I make about 50K a year and consider myself working class. My taxes have done nothing but increase in the past 8 years so what does that tell you.

You working class people always vote contrary to your interests. You vote for republicans who give tax breaks to corporations and big business while your tax rate stays the same or increases.

And Barak is not a communist. Some people believe in capitalism but also realize that some regulations have to be set to keep them from dumping cancer causing chemicals into our rivers and from paying people $3.00 and hour while inflation runs rampant.

Amen to that, Tammy! Anybody recall (or recall hearing about) what happened in China about 1950? Obama’s language reeks of good ole gnostic communism. It’s scary. Like he wants to bring about a different form of slavery. He seems so angry, so against this nation that he wants to force us into a role that can never be fulfilled. We cannot bring heaven to earth. We can work for justice. and we should, we must help each other, but to kill the American, even the very human dream . . . . He wants to force heaven to earth. But it will only be that–force, control that is left if he would succeed. This is why I call his language gnostic. Keep telling us the truth Tammy! No matter who listens or if anyone does.

So if you don’t like Obama, it means you are racist. If you don’t like Clinton, you are sexist. So that must mean if don’t like McCain you are prejudiced against Seniors. Right?
Obama: America IS ready for a President of Color, just not you.
Clinton: We have a whole generation of voters that have only known a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. For our children’s sake let’s stop the cycle of abuse.
McCain: McBush. need I say more?

What scares the Hell out of me is the desperately pushing their agenda on the American people. And all the money being made on both sides. What I really care about this election is the Economy, Immigration and the War. It seems like no one really wants to talk about any of those issues. This election seems to be all about charachter assasination. Disappointing to say the least

Funny how she misses the “only” in Obama’s speech.

And to call him a hypoctire is ridiculous. He graduated with honors from Harvard Law and instead of working for a big firm did community work. He is merely saying that getting advanced degrees are not simply for the purpose of enriching and serving one’s self, but also to use that power to help others.

Typical Fox method of twisting words and taking out of context.

Dear Ms. Bruce and all of the others that have seemed to have dragged this thread far off topic. I would like to point out that you have seemingly overlooked a single word in Sen. Obama’s speech that you quoted that makes the point of your argument inaccurate and moot. You quoted him as saying, ““You can take your diploma, walk off this stage and chase only after the big house and the nice suits and all the other things that our money culture says you should.” He continued, “But I hope you don’t.”

It would appear that you have overlooked the use of the word “only.”

The use of that word quite clearly means that the Senator has no problem with these graduates pursuing a big house, nice suits etc., only that he hopes that they do not do this to the exclusion of other noble pursuits. This begs the question of why you have a problem with someone hoping that our college graduates would be both financially successful and social conscious citizens. Is it not OK for someone to come from a lower income background, work for social justice AND still be financially successful? Or is it only OK if that person subscribes exclusively to your myopic point of view?

FA JOHNSON

My comments were not unlawful,threatening , libelous or obscene.
My comments were simply the truth, which apparently, Mr. Bruce can not handle
————————————————————————————————————————

firstly, it is MS. Bruce…..pay attention or at least give the impression you are…sheesh…
your comments read like the true liberal you are….it is ok for you liberal people to say what you like
about conservatives, but you can’t take it….don’t dish it out if you can’t take it…
Obama never says what he means and I doubt if he means what he says…if he even realizes what he is
talking about…just because he went to Harvard doesn’t mean a flipp to me or most other people in this great country…just those who are so easily impressed that they have voted and will vote for this sheep in wolf clothing…you really need to take heed and be really really careful what you wish for…

Who, in his right mind, would even consider voting for baby butchering, queerapproving, arch hypocrites like the democratic nominees? In a sane society they would both be institutionalized; or terminated with prejudice.
Wobbler McCain is a pitiful excuse for a human being. Perhaps he tried once too often to straddle something with a sharp, cutting edge and his ambivalence is attributable to an inability to produce testosterone in appropriate quantities.
But, Tammy, what about Alan Keyes? Or did his acerbic(and correct) evaluation of Dick Cheyneys daughter turn him into a political eunuch akin to McCain; but with a substantially different etiology?

My comments were not unlawful,threatening , libelous or obscene.
My comments were simply the truth, which apparently, Mr. Bruce can not handle

For a columust, it would seem that you would research, before you make such inaccurate remarksl
Senator Obama was suggesting exactly what he did, to the graduates. Look it up and then if you still do not like Sen Obama , just say you do not like him.
When you have to lie or misspeak to make a point….. you have no point.
President Kennedy and family endorsed this idea of public service for young Americans. You can not possibly think that meant the Kennedys were socialist or are against the American dream. You have a really twisted view of America, if you think that giving back to your country is the dumb thing for young people to do. Maybe you think giving military service is a bad idea , too ? Get a clue and leave the hate/speak to real writers. Just go ahead and say…..that black man has a pile of money and you resent it. We will respect you more.

When you consider Barack Obama’s twenty year relationship with Trinity United and … when you consider his twenty year relationship with the Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ and … when you consider that Obama did not disassociate himself from Trinity United Church of Christ or Jeremiah Wright until January, 2008 when the media exposed the anti-American, racist rantings of Wright from the pulpit to a congregation of thousands ….

Logic dictates that Americans who currently support Barack Obama need to consider very very carefully prior to casting that ballot.

Is Obama a “Marxist leftist”?

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama’s office is responding to charges from former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay that the Illinois Democrat is attempting to conceal his liberal views and that his record in the Senate is comparable to that of a “Marxist Leftist.”

http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2006/12/is-obama-marxist-leftist.html

+++++++++++++++

JAMES CONE - “BLACK POWER/BLACK THEOLOGY”

TRINITY UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST

“The vision statement of Trinity United Church of Christ is based upon the systematized liberation theology that started in 1969 with the publication of Dr. James Cone’s book, Black Power and Black Theology.”

The Marxist Roots of Black Liberation Theology
April 2, 2008

While Black Liberation Theology is not main stream in most black churches, many pastors in Wright’s generation are burdened by (James) Cone’s categories which laid the foundation for many to embrace Marxism and a distorted self-image of the perpetual “victim.”

… In FOR MY PEOPLE, Cone explains that “the Christian faith does not possess in its nature the means for analyzing the structure of capitalism. Marxism as a tool of social analysis can disclose the gap between appearance and reality, and thereby help Christians to see how things really are.”

And for a moment there…. I thought it was Obama, but more and more I realize it is the Americans
who stand up for this guy and defend his wacky thinking….these folks are so gullible and inane…let’s
vote for him and he will tell us how to live and what to do…reminds me of the wizard of Oz…good grief…
he has been voted the most liberal senator and he thinks there are enuff goof balls in this country to vote
him into office….read all the blogs and all the blathering fools in the US…he is not the candy man, but he is all drip and gooo….how can you folks just surrender your rights to this smiley faced con man…you that vote for this man will be sorry…be really careful what you wish for….

I’m confused! Why is advocating for public service a bad thing?

Having only just started reading this site, perhaps I’ve missed the discussion of the push by Oprah Winfry to get Obama elected. The news just said she’s worth 1.5BILLION. That’s ALOT of votes. Had anyone, outside of Illinois, even HEARD of Obama before this election??? I’m voting for the beer candidate. (McCain)

If only his disciples could see this.

Oh my God people would you wake up and smell the roses!!! If you think that either Hillary or Barak are the ones to lead this nation over the next four years than you are all being lead down the path towards being dependant on the government to take care of everything for you. Just one government policy after another to increase dependency to the government mule. We cannot afford to follow people who promise this and that when they have done nothing with the time they have spent in the senate already.We can’t keep telling businesses to raise wages, we can’t take profits from companies just because they make an honest dollar. Our dollar isn’t worth anything anymore and that is our biggest mistake. That is the reason why the price of oil is so high and the prices at the supermarket are so high. Our dollar is worth more everywhere else but here.
And as to whom do we vote for in the upcomming election, where is the NONE OF THE ABOVE checkbox.

Are those of you who are complaining that this is not “fair and balanced” joking or are you blinded by left wing rage (as usual)?

This forum is about OPINIONS, it is not the reporting of news. Get a clue and calm down.

Surely you can find all kinds of other things to that are wrong with this country. That’s what your good at. Pointing out obvious problems, but never providing solutions.

Way to go, Rush Limbaugh, you slimeball! You have succeeded in doing what you set out to do, and your fait accompli will cost us another Bush term. What kind of legacy are we leaving our children? I am so disgusted by all three candidates, I can barely contain myself as I type this. Hillary has left her mark in history and dividing the Democratic party right down the middle. Congratulations, McSame, victory is yours.

Wow, this is a slanted article. Can she take any more statements out of context? The hypocracy is FoxNews for putting this trash on their site and calling themselves “fair and balanced”.

This is the first time I have read Ms. Bruce’s column, and I’m left wondering, “is she the best that Fox News could find?”

First of all, I don’t remember any serious person on the right or left ever calling for the assassination of the president. Can Ms. Bruce name one? I challenge anyone on this board to find even one statement from Obama or Clinton advocating or approving of presidential assassination.

Secondly, if Ms. Bruce took even the most superficial look at Obama’s biography, she would realize that his comments at Wesleyan were anything but hypocritical. Obama graduated Harvard Law magna cum laude and could have picked a job at any prestigious firm he wanted. What did he do? He worked as a community organizer in the inner city. Then a stint in the Illinois Senate. Hardly the road to riches. The truth is that Obama walks the walk.

As a liberal, I can appreciate the few conservative columnists that are thoughtful and erudite (George Will), although I may disagree with them. Others are just plain vitriolic and ignorant (the author of this column).

Hmmmm? Let’s see, you are a racist if you’re white and don’t vote for Obama because he’s black but you’re not racist if you’re black and vote for Obama because he’s black?

I wouldn’t vote for Obama because he has yet to say one specific thing about this Change We Can Believe In. That scares the living beejeezes out of me. How can you vote for or support someone, who has yet to articulate one thing that he is actually going to change. Barack Obama is an elitist at best and something much, much more sinister and calculating in reality.

What christians or other religion would vote for a man that tells us we cling to our religion because we are bitter about our position in life? He didn’t misspeak or anything else. That’s how Barack Obama really thinks about our religious beliefs. He tells us he never heard his own Rev. Wright speak the way we have heard in different video clips over the last few months. He wants us to believe he has been very close to Rev. Wright for over 20 years and never heard him speak that way?

Come on people, use your own mind. Let me put it this way, if President Bush had a pastor that espoused the anti-American rhetoric like the Rev. Wright has done, would you believe President Bush was lying when he told you he never heard that in the 20 years he has been going to his church? I think we know the answer to that one don’t we?

It’s not about the truth for you people, it’s about power and getting your candidate, Barack Obama to the highest office no matter the costs. Barack Obama won’t survive the general election because the truth will be on display time and time again. Barack Obama will not get a pass in the general election like he has during the Democratic primary. Count on it!

I AM MORE CONCERNED TO HEAR HIM SAY THE WORLD IS NOT GOING TO STAND BY AND WATCH WHILE WE DRIVE OUR SUV’S AND KEEP OUR HOME AT 72 DEGREES ALL YEAR LONG. EXACTLY WHAT COUNRTY IS OBAMA RUNNING FOR. I LIVE IN AMERICA, I WORK (AND HAVE SINCE I WAS 16), I PAY MY BILLS AND IF I WANT MY HOUSE AT 72 DEGREES ALL YEAR LONG THATS MY BUSINESS. NOT THE EUROPEANS, NOT OBAMA’S, NOT ANYONE’S BUT MINE. IF OBAMA GETS HIS WAY, HE WILL TAX THE WORKING CLASS SO HEAVY , WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THOSE THINGS. THAT IS WHAT HE IS SETTING EVERYONE UP FOR. IF YOU ELECT ME (OBAMA) GET USE TO THE FACT THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE THINGS ANYMORE!!!!! IF THIS SOCIALIST IS ELECTED PRESIDENT IT MAY BECOME NECESSARY TO EXECUTE ANOTHER “DEAR KING GEORGE”LETTER TO OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF POLITICIANS ON BOTH SIDES USEING THE MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN AS A FOOT STOOL FOR MONY AND POWER.

Lets see…vote for a far left Socialist(Obama), a middle of the Leftist road Socialist (Hillary) or a RINO who happens to be more of a Democrat then some Democrats. Some Choice!
So 98% of Blacks will vote for the Black Candidate therefore stabbing Hillary in the back.
White Women will vote for Hillary just because shes a women.
Middle aged typical white men, bitter, holding onto their guns and religion will vote for McCaine.
Is there something wrong with this election or are we all just too stupid to see it.

It just amazes me. On one hand, the Democrat front runners include three lawyers, each married to an overbearing lawyer. On the other hand the Republicans have a war hero married to a rich buxom blonde, who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there even a choice?

Tim, Tim, Tim, you are obviously deeply and emotionally involved in this political season. Relax, step back and reflect on the fact that this article is commentary not news, opinion, not pure reporting. There is a difference and if you can not tell one from the other then you need to go to school or at least look up some words in the dictionary.
In fact the author actually prefaced her remarks with her personal opinion of a candidate early in the first passage. That is what those CSI types would call a “CLUE”, I suggest you get one or you will find yourself continually enraged and in need of some professional counseling before November.
Good luck fighting your demons.

Thanks Tammy. A voice of reason. We all know what the Clintons are but there seems to be a pass given to BHO. He is a communist. He is a liar. He is worst than the Clintons, because he isn’t a bit competent and is clueless as to where he will drag this country to.

Capitalism is what made this country great. Give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll feed himself for the rest of his life. JC was a Republican!

Cynthia,

A little predictable. When there are no FACTS to support your side, just start calling people names and labelling them as racists because they don’t agree with you. A little sad.

I’m surprised that BO isn’t encouraging college graduates to make every dime that theycan - he’ll need more “rich” to tax in order to support the government spending he will overwhelm us with…

Mary, I agree with the comments defending Obama’s speech; he was encouraging social action rather than disparaging capitalism. However, the real questions remain. Who is he and does he have the skills, character and strength needed to lead our country? His rhetoric is inspiring. I want to believe and join his followers in their frantic march to Camelot. But I’ve lived in the middle east and know first-hand about the mind set and mindless hatred in that area. The USA can survive 4-8 years of domestic mismanagement if we elect the wrong candidate (and I doubt our ineffective congress will sufficiently unite to to pass anything too damaging), but the real danger for us is the threat from extremists who commit suicide in order to kill our neighbors and from world “allies” who exact revenge by attempting to cripple our economy. Social action is admirable and needed, but it would be cold comfort for our police and firemen if they had to sift through rubble for body parts after another 9/11.

Obama’s Camelot would be lovely, but we can’t afford it just yet.

If you really believe that Obama isn’t beholden to lobbyists as much as the other candidates, you are sadly misinformed. When the real race begins, you will be disillusioned about your “messiah” candidate.

There’s something weird about an empty suit telling us not to buy suits.

Seeing as how none of the Presidential candidates will denounce the biggest threat to humanity, that being the global warming scam, I think I’ll have to sit this election out as they all seem to be wanting to lead us down the same path of social and economic destruction and I don’t care to help them.

God Bless Hillary Clinton

Are we expected to rally behind Barak Obama a recovering narcotics abuser ‘I used Blow (cocaine) but not Smack (Heroin)’ what a great Idea!!!! He could not get a job at the Post Office, the IRS or the FBI but the DNC thinks he best represents the values of the Democratic Party.

God bless John McCain

If the American people are truly serious about the presidential race, and they should because this is more important than anything in their lives with the exception of the birth of their children, they will look realistically at Barack Obama. His speech at Wesleyan closes the cap on the bottle. He is ignorant and selfish. It is alright for him to live in large houses. It is alright for him to wear suits. It is expected (I mean this ironically, of course) to be the only person qualified to sit in the Oval Office. Obama is an empty vessel. He is a liar, ignorant of foreign policy and not much better at domestic issues, to boot. That Hollywood, most black Americans (I omit African because we have no ties to Africa other than skin color) and the scheming, idiot super delegates continue - oh not to forget the rabid, heterophobic loons at MSNBC, keep up with their futile attempts to sway Americans to vote for this charlatan - I think the world is really about to come to an end soon. Obama has so much lead weight, that he is carrying and for me, the Rev. Wright association says it all. To have as a mentor cum pastor cum ersatz father, what more do you Americans need to hear. Rev. Wright is beyond crazy. He is beyond racist. He is beyond help. But for a candidate vying for the highest office in the land, the most powerful job in the world to be more than affiliated with, part of a group of narrow minded, flock of pitiful sheep who have college degrees, there is no or at least the most minute chance of such a herd of followers to ever see the light because they have been brain-washed into thinking that there is no light. This man should never be in any leadership position. He wouldn’t make a proper dog catcher. he says whatever falls out of his absent mind when he speaks to a crowd. He is on automation but he is mindless of the job that he is seeking. He only wants status and privilege. He is not after power, really because he cannot handle it. If Obama were to become president (which I pray all the time that he does not) he would have a nervous breakdown within six months. His wife would always be on someone’s case -bei it the White House staff, or just having to meet with other women on the social scale. She is not First Lady material. She, through her own choice and Obama’s as well, decided to attend church services at a church which hosted a stand-up wannabe. They - the Obamas - have of their own free will chosen to live in a vacuum. Now they expect the American people to elect a man who can’t decide which way he wants to go. Left or Far Left. When Rev. Wright made that ridiculous statement about findings that conclude that Whites think with the left side of their brain and Blacks think with the right side - Obama took that to mean that he should sleep on the right side of his head and pillow.

Please, folks, wake up and smell the coffee. A lot of it comes from Kenya.
