Yes, this article makes a lot of sense. It also points out obvious failings about Obama that far too many people are willing to overlook simply because he is a democrat.

Yes, the article makes a lot of sense in a non-inflamatory way. At least it was mild by my standards.

The "post-racial" guy while dealing the race card from the bottom of the deck like an old time poker cheat, that is pretty good line. I will have to remember it. John McCain, say what you will about his conservative credentials, spent five years of his life being tortured in a Vietnamese prison camp and NOT giving up information to our enemies. Thanks to his treatment by the North Vietnamese, John McCain will never be able to do the wave at a sporting event or give a high five. I think this qualifies him as a loyal patriot to the United States, well that might not be the only reason to vote for someone but that is better than Obama can bring to the table. I believe we are going to have to carry alot of water for McCain because he is not going to do it. We are the ones that are going to have to do the dirty work for him.

By golly, if McCain doesn't want to get his hands dirty pointing out the truth concerning Obama, yes, I'm willing to do it.

Hello Red, Excellent article! Mr. Cherry makes perfectly logical sense to me! More voters should take heed of the fact that Sen. Obama has declared that he would meet with brutal, thug dictators, "without pre-condition", yet has a whole laundry list of pre-conditions to the proposed debates with John McCain!!! For Sen. Obama to suggest that he would only agree to the live, town-hall meetings IF the first was held over the 4th of July weekend is despicable! How can that not be viewed as a blatant, manipulative ploy??? Yeah, set up the debate when most Americans are outdoors celebrating our nation's Independence, and where the media, who are clearly in the tank for Obama, will be the one's watching, and opining about the specifics. It would seem that Sen. Obama believes we voters are either too stupid, or too distracted to care about what a Presidential hopeful has to say -- without the security blanket of a teleprompter. Grrrrrr!!!

Oh, I believe both Presidential candidates think we voters are mostly stupid. It was a nice change of pace to read a sensible article about Obama.

I'm glad people are beginning to listen to Obama's words and to find out where his loyalties really lie. Obviously, not with the USA. Good article.

I thought it was an exceptional article, too. Bet Obama's campaign ignores it. The simple truth is hard to respond to when you are protrayed accurately and in a bad way.

I think you're right because every word can be verified, and Obama doesn't really want people to listen to what he is saying. He wants them to respond to his general words of "hope and change" and to his charismatic aura rather than getting into specifics of what he stands for.

Obama is a joke on the American people. That he has come so far while offering so little to Americans is mind boggling.

i think this man told us exactlly what Obama is. I do not like the man and NO it does not have anything to do with whatever color he wants to be. I believe this man is trying to get across to us what he stands for. I dont think he has any fear of going to meet with foreign leaders because they know he is on their side, they are just waiting for him to get in office so they can use him for what they are after. More journalist should write like this, to tell the truth about what they see in this man. I only pray that the good people here in the united states have enough sense to not let this man get into office. I like the commerical he has on TV how he takes the elderly off the welfare roles and puts them back to work, while I believe there is plenty on the welfare roles that could work and should be forced to, it appears to me he is out to take away what ever help there is for the ones that really need it. I am totally disabled and the only thing I get is a few food stamps a month, want to see what job he can find for me. How is he going to help me adjust to the higher prices, and what is this about a low on how much consumption we use, what is he going to tell me how many days a week I can have gas or electric, what a dork, and how did we as americans end up with this as a man to run our country. What experience does he have in running anything. As I said I don't like him, I don't trust him and we are in for change but I dont't think it is the change we want.

I certainly hope more and more Americans come to agree with you.
