Senator Obama seems to be the good clean candidate. The new politics of change means that I will not say these things publicly but will let my friends say what I believe for me and then I can distance myself from you. You can do the dirty work for me and I will stay clean.. The name of the game is I win and I don't care who gets hurt or who I have to throw under the bus to win. this is the new Obama Politics.

Watch out for the 'good clean candidate'. They are not what they seem. It reminds me of what a friend said back when he was called to preach. He said he never thought he'd be called to preach and always thought it would be his brother. His brother never hid his meanness, but this friend said he hid all his bad qualities and people thought he was a good person.The only thing is, the evangelist was working for the Lord and definitely became a good evangelist/very clean man and still is at almost 70. But, Obama is running for a high office, not a job for the Lord. And, he shifts around on his beliefs so much, it makes me drunk. And,as you said, he lets someone else say the things for him (like an employee), and when the going gets rough, he apologizes and fires the employee. Great man, this CHANGER.

yes I do believe you are right, that way it is not on his lips, I do not trust this man and I am doing all I can to inform and let people know of this split tongue speaking man. I fear what he will do to the white people. He speaks so much of his black race, why is it he never mentions his white part, I have been around people like this for a long time, and it seems if they have taken the black race then they hate the white part of them. I have nothing against his race whatever he chooses to be, but i don't like anything else about him.

The way I view the situation is that when you hang around people, they rub off on you. These people speaking out in the campaign had to learn what they are saying from someone. I don't think any of them speak out just on their own. But, once they do, they are shelved for fear they might harm his campaign. In other words, they get HIS message out there without him having to take blame. There is so much in his books that he wrote that should bother everyone! He may look clean, but the Change is going to be one with which we are going to have trouble living with, although we will have to for 4 years, if he is elected. And, then, how bad is our nation going to be at the end of those 4 years? Scary business!

SO you want to live under McCain? Have no health care, stay in Iraq, and pay more as a middle class person. Not me, I hope Obama wins. I was for Hillary but I will support the Democratic party this term because our nation can't handle another 4 years of Bush politics.
