In a few months we are fortunate ( thank gaud) to choose a new president. Our country is in one big mess economically for the middle class, the war, the eco, social security and as Americans we are all concerned about these issues. All of us have voiced our reasons why one should be the nominee and the other should not. We can all learn a lot here about our candidates. They all have baggage just as every politician does. Some worse than others. I believe that we have strong candidates but there can only be one President. We must choose our next President with a conscience. It shouldn't be about race, gender or a movement but it should be about experience and what they will do to help the American people gain back what we once had here,respect around the world and what each candidate stand for.I am tired with all the political stabs the stations are taking at the candidates. They are bias and only care about their ratings. The three candidates are strong but I want someone that can address all three issues with knowledge and experience. We need someone that stands strong for the middle class not just the rich. I don't feel McCain is experienced or knowledgable enough to help our falling economy, he is experienced in warfare. That is not enough to be OUR PRESIDENT. Then we have Obama, a new cutting edge politician that ignites excitement for the people but for me he lacks experience to takes us where we need to go not saying that there won't be in time he will be a good president, then we have Hillary who has the experience, the know how and the strength to stand up to the hard nose politicians of Washington. Just as they bring up negativism against Obama , they do the same with Hillary. The GOP say they rather go up against Hillary than Obama which is a calculating statement on their part. I truly believe they are afraid of her and the change she will bring to Washington which would be a negative for those rich politicians using the American people's money for there so called meetings in places I can only dream of going when in actuality it is there vacations being paid by the hard working middle class. Think about all the travelling and big bashes they give and uses the taxes of the American people. We need to put someone in the driver seat that will curtail all this sensless spending of politicials while they continue to get all the tax breaks while we the middle class are taxed to no end.
Whether it is Obama or Hillary that wins the nomination we must support that person so we can have hope, change and the solutions to the challenges they will have next January when they take their Presidential oath. I have beyond a doubt that it will be a democrat that will be our next President.

Now the media was trying to give an impression that what Bill was saying it sounded like an endorsement for McCain. Now how about when Michelle was asked would she support Hillary if Hillary took the nomination. Her reply"I would have to see the issues." Well hello you mean she may support someone other than a democrat. What is more negative Bill saying some good things about McCain or Michelle mor eor less wouldn't support the democratic party if Hillary was nominee depending on Hillary's thoughts on the issues at hand.. Come on media how about Michelle's words.

Hannity and Holmes Fox News had Pastor James David Manning an Afro American stated that Obama is passing himself as black when in reality is half and half. Also stated that for the past 150 years the Afro Americam every time has made the wrong choices of people. Go to website and listen to what he had said,.He said Obama will be bad for America and bad for the Afro American.

Read in the Washington Post that the reason that the Superdelgates will go with Obama is they are afraid that if they don't there will then be an upheaval from the Afro American people in the US. After I read this that the Democratic campaign has certainly become a racial issue and we has American people have come so far living in unity maybe not perfect but this campaign is going to takes us back to what it was decades ago according to how this was written.

Barack Obama Wasn’t on the Ballot. The Obama campaign argues that their candidate wasn’t on the January ballot because the Michigan primary wasn’t sanctioned by the DNC and they were trying to comply with the early state pledge. Let’s remember that the point of the early state pledge was to protect the role of the four states that held early nominating contests. Well the contests in those states were protected and the people in Iowa, South Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada got a chance to vote. Keep in mind that nearly twice as many people voted in Michigan and Florida than voted in the four early states combined.

Senator Clinton signed the pledge and kept it. Senator Obama signed the pledge and kept it in Michigan. But in so doing, Senator Obama decided to go further and made a voluntary decision to remove his name from the Michigan ballot. That was his right but it was also his decision. As a result, he denied Michigan the opportunity to vote for a slate of candidates. There aren’t many second chances in life but Senator Obama has one now and should ask the people of Michigan for their vote. Why is he refusing to do so?

Obama Voters Participated in GOP Primary. The Obama camp will argue that their supporters voted in the GOP primary because Barack Obama wasn’t on the Democratic ballot. They argue that the legislation’s effort to comply with the DNC rules is unfair since the bill would prohibit people who voted in the 2008 GOP primary in Michigan from voting a second time in the Democratic contest. On its face, you might think the Obama campaign is making a sound case. But two points render their argument inoperable:

First, the Obama campaign has repeatedly said that it would comply with DNC rules and DNC Rule 2.E prohibits cross-over voting. The draft legislation does not permit anyone who voted in Michigan’s Republican primary in January to now vote in the Democratic primary. Senator Obama has said that this is a key reason why he cannot support the legislation but that provision must be in the bill in order to comply with the DNC rules. So while Senator Obama’s campaign says he will follow the rules, he wants one of them to be ignored.

Second, the Obama campaign’s allies in Michigan organized an effort to get people in Michigan to vote for “uncommitted” in the Democratic primary, helping to bring the uncommitted share of vote to 40 percent. So the Obama camp can’t reasonably argue supporters participated in the GOP primary and didn’t vote in the Democratic contest.

False Excuse #3: Clinton Supporters Have Said They’d Raise Money For a Primary and They Back Clinton. The Obama campaign will argue that Clinton supporters have said they’d help raise money to finance the primary and that’s not fair. Last time we checked, the Obama campaign wasn’t hurting for donors. More to the point, Democrats are blessed this cycle with an energized grassroots. We believe that appealing to everyday people to finance this primary exemplifies what this election is about: giving a voice to the voiceless.

Michigan Law Requires First-time Absentee Voters Must Vote In Person Before They Can Vote Absentee – Just Like in Illinois. The Obama camp will argue that they are at a disadvantage because a lot of their supporters are college students who vote absentee. But Michigan law says that a person voting absentee must cast a vote in person before they are eligible to vote absentee which will result in the exclusion of many Obama supporters, of whom many are first time voters. The Obama campaign should be familiar with that sort of system since it’s the rule in Illinois and we didn’t hear too much complaining in the run-up to February 5 primary there. More to the point, this rule will be in place in Michigan for the general election. So will the Obama campaign use this excuse to justify writing off Michigan in the general if Barack Obama is the nominee? We hope not.

The bottom line is that Michigan has all the problems and promise that we talk about in this country. Competing in Michigan sends a signal that Democrats care and understand the people there deserve the chance to make their voices heard and need someone in the White House who will hear their voices.

If Barack Obama doesn’t want to help make that happen, Hillary Clinton is ready to do so. We call on the Obama campaign to let the people of Michigan vote

....... Next time you listen to to a Obama speech ...notice the eyes how they shift from side to side never looking straight ahead when delivering his speech ...not a good sign ...notice Hillary's eyes when she delivers a speech..... she looks in all directions... she is confident and her hands are open ... which signifies she has a open heart ... McCain movement of his eyes shows self doubt. All this and more was read about the body language of our candidates by a body language expert.

Everyone should watch CNN tonight with Lou Dobbs ..it's all about Obama and the so called good speech he gave with Bill Richardson. Democratic Strategists is there speaking...ONG , he's hitting the speech and Obama right on the nail. I am watching it now... I think the rerun is at 9 PM central.

Why Did Bill Richardson endorse Obama at this time? I think it was a political move to steer the media and the people from Pastor Wright's controversy that surrounded Obama. Bill is a good guy and I believe he wanted to help this unknown politician that has now a black clouds hanging over his head...Obama said typical white person..are these words of a uniter...I don't think so ..... and Bill has not diverted our attention from Wright's words and from Obama's misuse of words. If Richardson wanted Obama in the White House he would have endorsed him before the primaries in his own state. Notice how Bill was trying to say that Obama's speech the other day helped him make his decision. The democratic party is in big trouble when it comes to the national election, all those politicians better get on the bandwagon and make things right with Michigan and Florida. Funny how the democrats think that Obama will beat McCain.... they better think again about every cloud that surrounds and will follow this man all the way to the elections.
Endorsements are forgotten but the words of hatred are not.

Obama has a talent in his speeches in which he is always tap dancing around the subject. He continues to manipulate the people with his speeches. How terrible to bring his white grandmother into this problem of his. Shall I say hiding behind a woman with what he has been associating himself with. Shame on you Obama comparing your grandmother's words to the words of hatred by your pastor of the white America. The way his pastor preached is equal to that of radical muslims feel toward Americans. We are becoming a people of division and this makes it very hard to think of Obama as a uniter. There is too much surrounding Obama with words especially from his wife and now his pastor. It would be interesting to see how the Kennedy's feel now especially Caroline. President Kennedy never caused such feelings as this among the American people when he campaigned and Caroline should have never compared Obama to her father. I hope the people are now having doubts about Obama and what he stands for.
