America's youth for the most part and also some of her older citizens have been rocked to sleep with the lullaby of "change"! What change? Enter Barak Obama with his promises, rhetoric and inuendo. Instead of someone lying about not inhaling when smoking pot here we have someone lying about what he must have heard but did not comprehend! Or if he comprehended it he either agreed with it of just didn't care enough to at least leave! I speak, of course, about the sermons of Obama's now infamous "former" pastor. How convenient it was for the Obama campaign that pastor Wright chose this exact time to retire and take a sabbatical! It sounds so much better to say "former" doesn't it? I ask you leaders of tomorrow, youth of America, IS THIS REALLY THE CHANGE YOU WANT??? Seems to me it is just business as usual! Like the great author Stephen King said in "Dreamcatcher" "SSDD" Same S**T Different Day! WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!

I agree with you. Seems Like alot of people do not want him but yet he keeps winning states. Seems like alot of college students have jumped on the Obama band wagon. You spoke about his pastor but lets not forget the words of his wife as well. She spoke bad about america on television not once but twice. And than the pastor's words. He's says that the things his pastor said did not have an effect on him but apparently they did because his wife speaks of america just the same way the pastor does. He also speaks of change but what change. He always says change but never backs it up with how he will change things.

What Barak's wife said just adds relevance to the whole argument! Exposure to 20+ years of hate and racism has to have an effect on the psyche! Just because Barak is more adept at hiding his true feelings and beliefs (like a good politician) doesn't mean they are not deeply rooted convictions! Remember Obama's own words, "Pastor Wright is my spiritual leader and my mentor"! A mentor produces likenesses of himself especially over a great deal of time, like 20 years!

Let's face it, the choices this election are bad, worse and devastating! Devastating; I would give this honor to Barak Obama because of the reason most people are backing him! He has no substance to his rhetoric and his promises are empty illusions of "change" which he has totally botched with his lies this weekend about his knowledge and relationship with his pastor and his views! Worse; this one goes to Hillary simply because she is going to try and shove her Hillarycare package down our throats even if it kills us! You think this country is in a recession now, just let Hillary get some of her spending programs enacted! Bad; this one goes, of course to the only one left and that is Senator McCain whom I will be voting for. McCain is by no means the poster child of the conservative America but he is super right-associated compared to the other two!

Change the future for hope. Hope for change in the future. In the future we will hope for change. Hope the future brings change. Change and hope for the future. A future full of hope and change. See Rodney I could write speech for Obama. Of course I will except the same money as Davey Boy. For a guy that is suppose to be a new kind of politican he says a lot of thing that a politican would say. Tax cuts for the middle class, sure but how are you going to pay for all of those new programs and still cut taxes. Change is a funny word, it means to make or become different. So for Obama to become change he would have to be different, but what is different about him, except his skin color?

Gewcew, Mark my words, or even the infamous "read my lips" the liberals who are so enthralled with Obama's "change" will be so disenchanted by month six of his presidency some of them might even wish for Bush back! (that is if, heaven forbid, Obama wins)

Yes but do you think Hillary or McCain would be any better? McCain is just a new world order puppet who answer to people like Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller... And Hillary attended in infamous Bilderberg meeting in secret. But she didn't think she would get caught. The cat is out of the bag. We know of their one world government and plans to enslave humanity. Obama would at least restore some form of order to the U.S. Of course Ron Paul was the ONLY good choice for President. But of course the media cheated him out of his win.

I respect your opinion but I just don't see it going down that way. First let me say that another Clinton in the Whitehouse would sicken me to no end but I don't believe I can stomach Obama either! I feel, in my gut, that he feels the same way his wife said in her now infamous "I've never been proud" speech, he is just better at masking his true feelings and deflecting criticism! I've said this in many of my posts; McCain is not in any way the poster child for the conservative American but he is so much farther to the right than Hillary or Barak it just doesn't make any difference. My vote will go to McCain.
