Record Obama Crowd, the Size of a City


Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) speaks to people at Waterfront Park in Portland, Ore., May 18, 2008. (Associated Press)

By Matthew Mosk
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Sen. Barack Obama has seen his share of large crowds over the past 15 months, but his campaign said they have not approached the numbers gathered along the waterfront here right now.

The campaign, citing figures from Duane Bray, battalion chief of Portland Fire & Rescue, estimated that 75,000 people are watching him speak.

The scene suggests this is not an exaggeration. The sea of heads stretches for half a mile along the grassy embankment, while others watch from kayaks and power boats bobbing on the Willamette River. More hug the rails of the steel bridge that stretches across the water and crowds are even watching from jetties on the opposite shore.

Need more people discussing the Issues and past policy decisions of Senators Obama and McCain. Too much Religion and racial issues are being injected in the opinions presented. While these may be concerns, this is a policical campaign for the next US President. There will be many more!

Obama is amazing. The day and time is appointed by God. Nothing anyone says or does will discourage him. For all you haters out there if you want to continue paying out the butt for gas, food, utilities, etc. then don't you dare part your lips to whine should the Republicans take it for another four years. It is time for change and that change will come with Barack Obama and other's who have this country at heart, not just about me, me, me and my friends.

ONE MORE THING...why is hillary being shut out of the media...she whooped on him in kentucky by 35 points...i honestly don't get it.

and another thing that hardly let me sleep was, the counts coming in from oregon...did ANYBODY notice that the numbers were the same from 34% to 77% to 88% - b.o.= 58% h.c.=42%............then all of the sudden he went up one point and she went down one point?!! there's something fishy going on. can't anybody explain to me...oh and by the way HE HASN'T WON YET so stop making it seem like he has media..i wonder how much is in it for you. hmmm.

somebody really wants obama to win and i'm afraid its somebody more than us civilians.

he outspent her 4-1 and he still LOSES isn't anybody asking themselves why? oy.

you all know that most of those people out there were just there for the FREE CONCERT that was held before his speech right? the decemberists...yup they're getting famous. oo ooo and maybe they were also passing out free ipods too...hmm or $200 yea that's always helpful.. money doesn't buy everything and if you're decision is based on who gives me free stuff than you are totally blind. i can't believe a lot of young people are so clueless. some of them are only on obamas side because..."i think it'd be cool to have a black president" or there are those who have lack of respect for their mothers and say "hillary sounds whiny" i feel that hillary will be the best..she doesn't have anything to hide..her life and her accomplishments are well known and respected, who is barack obama??! and what the hell is up with that name?? i'm sure he's on his way to accomplishing a lot for the people as well but he still needs time. hillary is now! she has what it takes she really does. shes been through this before with her husband she knows whats next she can beat mccain but she will need us.
why wont obama debate her??!! he's afraid that's why, she is faster with answering questions she definitely doesn't stutter, she has a plan, everything is in her brain she's probably been working on it all her life, he's a baby compared to her experience, he should in my opinion, step aside and run in 4 or 8 years, do everything he can to earn the respect of a lot of people because he sure doesn't have mine at this point in time. HILLARY IS MY GIRL '08.

Do you really believe that 75,000 people would come out just for a free concert? Sorry, but I'm in the music business and it's just not that easy getting tens of thousands of people out - even for a popular local band.

We're not talking a top 10 band here. I doubt they ever played before 75,000 people before. I swear, some people are just grasping at straws to make sense of this or to put this down.

Posted by: gary | May 22, 2008 3:52 PM

Amazing! A free concert by a popular local band on a gorgeous sunny day and people came! WOW! What a miracle!

Posted by: common sense | May 22, 2008 9:52 AM

A free concert by a popular musicians who also happened to be locals, set on a beautiful sunny day. It's a miracle that anyone showed up!

Wonder what the crowd the size of a city will say when Obama loses the country in November.

He threw a free concert (the Decemberists) for students of at least 23 colleges and universities in Portland,Or. (the Decemberists). It was the first decent day of weather for them in a while. The 2 days previous were 95 and 97 degrees. Previous to that, cold and rain. Besides he bussed people in , not counting all people that came for the free concert from Washington. They weren't all there for this egomaniac. OMG! It's the The Messiah!

This is reminiscent of obsessed fans in Japan who would faint at the sight of Michael Jackson, or better yet of Jesus' sermon in Bethsaida: where thousands of men, women and children stood in the sweltering heat hanging his every word. But even 'the son of god' never went as far to say, "You and I together, we'll change this country, we'll change the world." The pomposity of it all!

It looks like the morons(repubs)came out in force today,they must be laid off or something. They are like the KKK and the "terrorists",spewing garbage while hiding their faces. Why no names,can't back up your silly little rants? Just think,after November,you'll have a true President,not some idiot. As for your hero boy shrub,hopefully him and dick C. will be but* buddies after the war tribunals tears your party to shreds. You morons always talk krap but never,NEVER,answer for the blunders over the last 7 1/2 years.Why is that? You Obama hater's have the mentality of my 6th grader with your petty name-calling and these long meaningless posts.How childish. Time to grow up and join the real patriots of this country and bring it back from the brink of destruction.

Again,How can you defend what's been perpetrated on this country by these profiteering traitors?

Clinton 94/00 = peace and prosperity
Bush(repubs)00/08 = death and destruction

Justify that repubs!

For ALL those in whom the photo above inspires fear...


GOOD!!!

Be afraid--Change is coming!

Hey, racists & scum--We're coming for YOU.

(And don't think the KKK will save you.)

Proof that a picture is worth a thousand words... and many of the postings here just go to prove the fear that reality induces in the insane.

I, for one, am *extremely* proud that America (and Americans) have come so far as this photo shows.

And for those in whom it inspires fear, God bless you still. (With grace, I know that you'll get over it.)

And God bless you, Oregon. (I thank you with all my heart!)

Free Concert by Popular Band Preceded Obama's Big Rally

Unmentioned in national reporting was the fact that Obama was preceded by a rare, 45-minute free concert by actual rock stars The Decemberists. The Portland-based band has drawn rave reviews from Rolling Stone magazine, which gave their 2005 album Picaresque four and a half stars (out of five), and another four and a half stars for 2007's The Crane Wife.

How many of the people showed up to hear Obama, and how many to hear the band?

There's nothing wrong with a candidate using celebrity power to draw a crowd, but the media have a responsibility to report their presence. By ignoring the free concert, the Times and other outlets made it appear that 75,000 people were drawn only by Sen. Obama's considerable charisma.

Wow. It's obvious that there are some very intelligent people posting. It's also obvious that there are some that are not so intelligent....

Posted by: Kd11 | May 20, 2008 11:46 PM

I saw the crowd in my city. It was the single largest number of people I've ever seen. No doubt a few thousand came to see the 45 min rock band, but the other 70,000 came to see Obama. You ask anyone in the crowd why they came. It was free, the weather was perfect, and Obama was in town. Portland showed up for Obama when it counts in the end. May that never be forgotten. Portland is progressive--we don't want to recycle old presidents, Clintons, and Bushes, for another 20 years!! Revolving dynasties turn rotten after a while.

Do you follow me?

Posted by: Jim | May 20, 2008 11:09 PM

there was a free concert prior to BO speaking at his humongous rally...while no one doubts he can draw large crowds....interesting that none of the media mentioned that a free concert helped get the crowd together for him.

What the WaPo's Matthew Mosk "forgot" to tell you was that Obama's opening act was a 45 minute free concert from a major local band:

For those of you who have made it this far, a little reward is due. This is from a friend's blog about the Portland rally this past Sunday:

A crowd of 475,000 people went to the Obama rally in Portland this weekend. In that crowd were hundreds of people with terminal cancer, crippling illnesses, birth defects, etc. They were all healed. While Obama was there, the Columbia and Willamette rivers ran golden with honey and the salmon grew wings and flew happily on to their spawning grounds. Sea Lions waved at them and sang Sea Lion clan songs of the renewal cycles of life. The Portland Light Rail flew by on rails of spun sugar and all the riders possessed stunning powers of positronic psychokinesis and spent their rides giving each other temporal lobe tickles. Mt. Hood emitted a rainbow sheened plume of smoking precious opal ash, which rose 50,000 feet into the Obamasphere and formed an image of Obama holding an infant in a diaper made from an American flag. Gas prices in the greater Portland area plunged by 300% and grocery stores gave away cartons of milk and boxes of Frosted Flakes.

I was driving home through the Columbia Gorge during Barack's speech to the nearly half a million devoted souls- as I was speeding along past the beautiful waterfalls and verdant emerald forests, completely unaware of the event, a young coyote along the side of I-84 waved at me and flipped me a peace sign and shot ruby red laserbeams out of his eyes that exploded into a million perfect rose petals directly in front of me. I had no idea why and frankly it kind of tripped me out. Later when I heard of the rally it all made a perfect sort of sense.

Every morning, Hillary's crack South Korean medical team of cosmetic surgeons and anesthesiologists put her under and surgically remove the leathery batwings that grew out of her back the night before. Her top aides and medical advisers have concurred that as long as she continues her futile challenge of Barack Obama, she will continue to transform into a winged hell demon. She needs to quit before she ruins her family. Chelsea needs a mom not a soul sucking incubus. Please quit Hillary.

Thats funny, a racist Afro American thinking Obama is not paid for by the same people as the other two candidates. He wouldn't have been created and hyped by the media if he wasn't an acceptable risk. Should be interesting, but I will, for the first time NOT vote, which is the same as giving permission to be raped of more liberty under a nanny state. We don't need these leaders or this two party system any more. It's useless.

Posted by: Anonymous | May 20, 2008 2:21 PM

Today is Voter's Day in Oregon! Speak loud, clear, forcefully for the candidate Sen. Obama. We need each and every vote. Vote for unity, focus, stay above the "petty" and the "divisive" that's been a part of Sen. Clinton's campaign. She is dragging the Democratic Party down! She is dividing men against women. Look at the women... do they have the same "baggage" as Clinton? Did their husbands cheat on them, too? Did they accuse the women of hateful things? Hillary is such a polarizing figure for all the damage to her "psyche" has done. For over 32 years, she put up with her husband's infidelities. She's wearing thin... Americans, we don't need divisive politics in this country. We're already a multicultural country right here in the U.S.A. On another note: Bush the senators, congressman have been talking to rogue nations for over 40 years! Nixon to China and Kennedy to Cuba ... So, politicians please stop the fear-mongering. The young leaders want a better future and they see it in Barack Obama. There's nothing that you can say to change it. YES, WE CAN!

I used to vote republican, but how can I now? Sorry what do you expect GOP? You can't run the country into the ground the way you have and expect to keep your jobs.

Gotta go in a new direction even if I am unsure about it. The new guys may be an unknown, but the right is a known, and not in a good way.

I realized that what we are seeing here on this thread is fear and anger. It is a natural reaction to loss...Part of the grief process. When this photo was displayed folks in the other two camps looked at the demographic of many of the people in the crowd and thought to themselves oh no, the demographic that we are both counting on to vote with us (that white, middle class, middle of the road demographic) really is going out for Obama, and that maybe just maybe they themselves are now in the minority and it doesn't feel all that good to be in that position. We will help you work through those feelings and get to a better place, despite our differences. We are just that kind of people. Things are changing the world is changing and it's about time YES WE CAN!

BOYCOTT CNN & MSNBC for manipulating the Presidential election with the biased pushing of obama before researching.


Reason Obama said he wanted to be President of ALL 57 states. Keep in mind U.S. doesn't have 57, but...ISLAM is what he is talking about!
Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization grouping fifty seven states which have decided to pool their resources together, combine their efforts, and speak with one voice to safeguard the interests and secure the progress and well-being of their peoples and of all Muslims in the world.

Terrorist Group Hamas Wants Obama As President this post:
http://blogsforjohnmccain.com/trackback/975

VOTERS DEMAND Obamas tell America about their relationship with Ayers, Gadaffi Syrian tycoon, Antoin Rezko, Saudi Arabian Scheiks and Nadhami Auchi, Iraqi billionaire, global arms dealer who was best friends with Saddam Hussein, and the main financial backer for Saddam's Iraqi -Saudi oil pipeline, and stood trial with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Qasim. VOTERS are concerned why CNN & MSNBC refuse to question those relationships, coupled with Obama's 20 plus yrs with Rev. Wright shows a serious pattern, which Obama seems quite comfortable with people who really, really, really HATE U.S of America. If you question him or his values or policies, you're part of the "divisive, distracting" practices voters associate with Washington. Them's the Obama Rules.

http://www.dontvoteobama.net.


Obama's chief political adviser David Alexrod on National Public Radio claimed white working class Democrats barely exist and hardly matter, white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, This is not new, WE don't need or rely solely on those votes.

FACT: CLINTON WINS THE STATES THAT MATTER IN GENERAL ELECTION.
DONATE: hillaryclinton.com
Obama lost West Virginia by more than 40 points, an enormous fall, voters who went against Obama -- white, rural, older, low-income and without college degrees -- don't just live in West Virginia. They live everywhere in the country, in places Obama needs to win in a general election. Lost in all the talk of the inevitability of Barack Obama's nomination is the fact that Hillary Clinton has a very compelling case of her own. The contorted Democratic primary significantly differs from an actual presidential election. Caucuses, which is proportionately favor young, vocal enthusiasts who are willing to stay up late in the night; superdelegates; unelected party officials who are free to ignore the
will of the people and proportional representation of delegates are all electoral processes that have no parallel in November.

If the Democratic primary were a winner-take-all contest based on electoral votes like the general election, Clinton would lead Obama 290-214. The fact that Obama has won the majority of states, most of which are small, or has a slight lead in the popular vote does not mitigate the fact that Clinton is by a large margin the more competitive candidate in a national election

It is a fact that no Democrat has won the White House since 1916 without winning West Virginia, Obama lost West Virginia by more than 40 points, an enormous fall, voters who went against Obama -- white, rural, older, low-income and without college degrees -- don't just live in West Virginia. They live everywhere in the country, in places Obama needs to win in a general election. In anticipation of the West Virginia primary, college students for Obama were hurling insults at farmers and truck drivers. Now we hear pained remarks from the Obama camp that many white men won't vote for any black. Oh really? No one was complaining during the early races in Iowa, Maryland, Virginia and Wisconsin, when most of the white male participants backed Obama. That was before the Rev. Jeremiah Wright ugliness became public. Obama's inability to persuade working-class white voters to back him points to serious problem for him in the presidential election. A large percentage of voters who backed Mrs Clinton said they would not vote for Obama in the presidential race if he becomes the nominee. Disrespecting the nearly 17 million who have supported Clinton is politically unwise, but turning them into "the enemy" is insane

I enjoy reading the posts from the republican bigots. I can't help think that you are seriously delusional with 8 years of your parties mental retardation. The dick-bush days will forever be your little cowboy 'glory days'. If you act quick, you can still pick up an "axis of evil" tshirt, or "I shot Osama...oops, unfortunately I'm too broke to find him" Or maybe your commander in chief will issue another challenge to the insurgency, "bring it on....". Well they did, and guess what? Fellow Americans died. Because we started a war without a plan to end it (objective=regime change. Can we go home now?), we still have not eliminated the mini-mind of 9/11. What message does that say to the world? If we were not strapped with a war that we started because diplomacy is too big a word for for a peanut brain dick-bush, we would have found and brought to trial those responsible for 9/11.

It was on YOUR post in which this and the collapse of the US economy has occurred. Yeah, I know it was probably the democrats 8 years ago that put this all in motion... It's comforting to see you all obey your instinct and "Preemptively mark your corners" in preparation of your new President.

After 4 years of prosperity, you too will be forced to mark that "D" bubble. After 4 year of intelligent leadership, you will be able to post how you were the decidererer when it was not cool to post on the internets.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than knowing that those of you that voted for Bush, are going to have the most difficult 8 years of your simpleton lives. I want you to know that I am really truly enjoying the fact that your selected voice, Mccain, can't decide if he is a war hero, or if he should vote against a bill to support troops because they might leave the military and get an education. I sleep much better knowing that the outcome in Nov is already decidered. And especially, that I never have to think critically about anything political again, all I need to know before voting is are you a Democrat? Here's to you, you have earned everything you will get. Enjoy!

Come on over to the Obama team and be a winner! Hillary's toast. She doesn't have a chance with the delegate count. Everybody knows it. Even you do. You just can't say so publicly.

Your dedication is commendable. But, come on, who's kidding who here? Obama's the man. Literally. You gals had a good run, but it's over. She'll get another chance someday.

MEMO: Mission Accomplished? Not so fast.
To: Interested Parties
From: Howard Wolfson, Communications Director
Date: Monday, May 19, 2008
Re: Mission Accomplished? Not so fast.

Senator Obama's plan to declare himself the Democratic nominee tomorrow night in Iowa (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10184.html) is a slap in the face to the millions of voters in the remaining primary states and to Senator Clinton's 17 million supporters.

There is no scenario under the rules of the Democratic National Committee by which Senator Obama will be able to claim the nomination tomorrow night. He will not have 2210 delegates, the number needed with Florida and Michigan included in the process, nor will he have 2025 delegates, the number needed to secure the nomination without Florida and Michigan.

Premature victory laps and false declarations of victory are unwarranted. Declaring mission accomplished does not make it so.

While Senator Obama inaccurately declares himself the nominee, Senator Clinton will continue to work hard, campaigning for every vote in the upcoming states and making the case that she will be the best nominee to take on John McCain and be our next President.

Wow. Just wow.
This sort of enthusiasm, or even mania is akin to Pre-Teen girls and Hannah Montana, Japan and Michael Jackson, the Germans and David Hasselhoff, or even the French and Jerry Lewis.
This just goes to prove that large crowds are never wrong.
Wow.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! IT OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT REQUIRE MUCH EXPERIENCE TO BE PRESIDENT. . . . LOOK AT GEORGE BUSH, who really doesn't know why we went to War OR BILL CLINTON, who didn't remember sleeping with Monica Lewinski. Come On America; please see through shady politics. Hillary Clinton and John McCain are one in the same, and have even stated they are friends. HILLARY wants so desperately to be back in the White House until, SHE RUINED HER ENTIRE CAMPAIGN WITH NEGATIVITY! Right now, it would not surprise me if she ran for Vice President with McCain. Her campaign, with the support of the Media has done everything they can to paint a terrible picture of BARACK OBAMA. This man naturally has a kind, loving and generous heart towards America and ALL people. He represents all of us. Let's not forget his Mother, grandmother, and grandfather raised him and for a long time white was all he knew. It wasn't until later on his life that he was acquainted with his Black side. He is a biracial man; therefore, White and Black! But suppose, we just didn't look at the color of his skin...He is extremely intelligent and more than capable of being the President, and it is evident. He is running a successful campaign, very well managed. He has maintained respect for Hillary Clinton and everyone else on the Champaign trail regardless of the sometimes spiteful hate thrown his way; all while remaining calm, poised and focused. OBAMA is a fresh set of eyes that is well aware of the games played in Washington DC. "You scratch my back; I'll scratch yours" type of Politics, and he wants the American People involved with the Management of this Country and aware of what goes on in DC. OBAMA is a capable of leading this Country. This man is 46 years old, and have achieved just as much if not more than Clinton, Bill and Hillary and without a Doubt George Bush. As far as Blacks voting for Barack Obama because he's Black...Maybe there voting for Barack Obama because right before their eyes they are seeing what all of the Super delegates who once supported Hillary Clinton are seeing. These same Super delegates that had their backs scratched by Clinton and who Clinton (thinking DC politics) thought would scratch her back! The Super Delegates know who Barack is and hopefully soon America will see. This Man will definitely bring the Change we are looking for. If only we as Americans can see pass the color of our skin and dig deep into the issues we face today, and look at the definition of Leadership. A leader is someone who helps others do and become more than they ever thought possible. Leadership is about unlocking potential, whether individual potential or that of a group, company, or organization. It's about inspiring them to see what they are capable of, then, helping them get there....BARACK has inspired MANY! I am inspired as well as the 75,000 that went to see him in Oregon. For the first time in a long time, American People feel like they can Hope, and they are inspired to live better, think better and do better. Once we do these things as well as trust that OBAMA can bring some order to the (WAR, Rising Gas cost, Healthcare Issues, Housing Foreclosures, trillions of dollars in debt etc.,) Let's OPEN our eyes America. America is the land of opportunities for all of us. Please stop the separation and lets join together and help bring a CHANGE!

BARACK OBAMA 2008!!

Hey Wapo -
Your comment section has become a place for idiots to post - so here I am among them. And this will be my last "comment."

People here are afraid of names. They are afraid of, apparently, being hynotized by Barack Obama. They can't believe a crowd like this so they say it's photo-shopped.

WHy so nasty and cynical? Were you at Woodstock? Maybe yous aw the move? Was that like Hitler's Germany? Was that photoshopped? What about the rally in Central Park - were you there?

I was in Portland and I can tell you there is nothing photoshopped here. WHY would you want to believe it was?? I clearly see that many of you can't understand what's happening but it's about YOUR INTERESTS as an American...about YOUR rights that have been stolen away from you by the current administration.
Ah yes, Obama is a Muslim - a BLACK (scary!)Muslim who is going to make us all bow down to Allah. This is why some of the smartest people in the country have endorsed him? All of you who believe this, please register as Republicans and vote for McCain. New Democrats are registering 3 to 1 higher than Republicans. We can afford to lose a few. Democrats have taken 3 house seats away from Republicans in "red" states.
Is the future becomming more clear? It's a better future for ALL of us - even peole with funny names who are a differnt shade of beige than you.

Americans are too often swayed by political rhetoric that does not have any real impact on their everyday lives--remember the last presidential campaign's focus on gay marriage and fear?

I hope after all the suffering our country has experienced due to government's failure to care for war veterans and 9/11 first responders, enabling corporations like Enron & World Comm to destroy lives and pension plans of their employees , all the unmet needs of US citizens after natural disasters occurring all over the country, no safety net for workers jobs because most states have 'at will' laws that protect companies rather than people's jobs,
foreclosures leaving renters as well as homeowners without stable living arrangements, children hungry and homeless---PLEASE wake up and stop voting against your own best interest!!

Obama's life work started in community service and his work is to continue these efforts on a national basis. You do not go to the person that created your problem to provide the solution.Obama has not been among the old Washington political players. His background in Constitutional Law and practicing Civil Rights Law have prepared him well to effectively restructure government to SERVE ITS CITIZENS. His legislation to protect returning veterans is almost never mentioned by mainstream media.

McCain is truly the elite, married to an heiress and far removed from the lives 'regular people' lead. He admitted he's 'weak' on the economy! The economy is the only reason anyone should be running for President. Why would a guy that was a prisoner of war push war? His mental stability should be in question. His veteran status does not prepare him for the Presidency and his recent alignment with Bush should have all citizens chasing him into the nearest asylum!

Eventually, everyone has to go to the table
and negotiate. Why not exhaust that effort first? The US policy has maimed and killed 5x's more people than 9/11. There is no logic in US government policy to spend billions in the war, continue to overpay contractors that DID NOT have to bid, yet NEGLECT our own troops and veterans!! Why is their no outcry about this rather than debating about the origin of a person's name?! Just another distraction...

Clinton's claim to fame is her relationship with her husband and her health care efforts. The fact that she worked for a die hard segregationist [Goldwater girl] at the start of her career and has lied unneccessarily during her speeches, spins misinforamtion at the drop of a hat and lived a priviledged, suburban life growing up in Chicago, are all reasons to ignore her claims of 'being in touch'with regular people, or for having any integrity or ethics whatsoever. Why isn't she 'fighting' for the first responders of 9/11--they are her constituents and she keeps claiming to be a fighter. If she does not protect her state constituents, why entrust her with the country?

Obama knows the definition of insanity--doing things the same way while expecting a different result--and plans to change the way business is conducted in Washington. The masses benefit when politics is participatory. It is no wonder his opponents do not want him in office. If you cannot even IMAGINE change, how will you bring it about?

If you allow names, labels, gender, and propaganda to continue to distract you, then our lives will continue to be marginalized. Obama's mother and grandparents are/were mid-western Americans
that worked hard and instilled in him values of service and community. Just because his name is rooted in another continent does not negate any of the value in his upbringing.

You need to ask yourselves how many times will the US cut off its own nose to spite its face? And even more importantly, recognize that sometimes the enemy is the man in the mirror, not the boogeyman.

35,000 showed up in Penn. for Obama and Hillary got 200,0000 MORE votes that Obama did! Who cares if 1 million showed up, anyway on the "news" the number keeps growing - no surprise - by the end of the week they will probably say it was 2 million in attendance.

Hillary has received more votes than ANYONE ever in American history and the DNC thinks they are going to take it away from her - they better think again.

Obama is a charlatin.

Hillary is a real hardworking American who has dedicated her life to America and loves this country.

I am from Portland, Oregon and I road my bike downtown and the picture is REAL it was so crazy down there the streets were crowded, it was hard to walk anywhere, there were bikes locked up everywhere some even vertical in the air. I finally went on the east side of the river where I could see the rally across the river and it was packed. I think its hilarious that people are saying its fake or spent time examining the photo. To them I say, you are just wasting your time. Anyway, It was such an amazing day and feel very lucky that I could be there.

Posted by: Robyn | May 19, 2008 8:42 PM

What religion does McCain profess??
I have never heard him speak of it?? In fact I only hear him speak of the war. Why just this morning I watched a GMA interview where Barack Obama professed his belief in Jesus Christ as his savior. As far as I know a proclaimed Muslim that goes on TV. and professes being "saved" would not be in great standing in the Muslim faith.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama did agree to accept public financing and then changed his position to what you described. You don't have to believe me though:

"Obama replied 'yes' in September 2007 when asked if he would agree to public financing of the presidential election if his GOP opponent did the same. His spokesman now says that he never gave such a pledge, and Obama himself has attached several conditions, including regulating spending by outside groups."

First off, Washington Post, that would be the Hawthorne Bridge, not the Steel Bridge. Nice fact checking. Secondly, smashliberal is a paranoid, delusional moron. As a Portland native I have no doubt that at least that many people showed up, and not all for Obama. The Decemberists were scheduled to perform as well. PS, smash, nobody cares about Ron Paul; even he forgot to quit the race. Take it down the road and pound it.

Posted by: neil | May 19, 2008 5:26 PM

I am convinced that many who support Obama do so because they don't know much about him. Little by little, the press is reluctantly releasing more information, and the more we learn, the more we realize that he is NOT the candidate of "change" or "unity." He is, in fact, the exact opposite. For example, how can someone claim to be a "uniter" when their religion is based upon racism, i.e. black liberation theology. Here is a statement from James H. Cone, one of the founders of black liberation theology, about the nature of Obama's religion, and you tell me if it is consistent with "unification."

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

If all Americans understood even this single issue, then much of his support would dry up overnight.

Shirl: If Obama is the Democratic nominee, he will again be fighting two battles at once. He will be fighting the Republicans, AND he will be fighting the millions of members of his own party who will never vote for him. It's going to be an uphill battle that he will likely lose.

Posted by: Truth | May 19, 2008 5:11 PM

Obama is fighting two huge battles at the same time, with McCain attacking him and Hillary out to knock him off. Listen to her campaign appeal AGAIN TO WOMEN, using the gendered emotional language of abuse--"a slap in the face"--to get the women out to vote against him. AND we know Obama has been a gentleman throughout!! Hillary is moving the goalposts AGAIN--raising the numbers of delegates, saying that only certain votes count. Her attacks have created a climate of misery for all Democrats. The Party needs to declare victory for Senator Obama NOW in order to win in November. BTW, "obamamama" is a Republican dirty-trick plant, pretending to be African American. The web-master should out and throw him out!

75k leftists - a GROUP. Interesting. I always thought the left crowd was all about individuality, well at least socially. Apparently not. Nice to be with the "in" group. Besides wholesale Marxism and "change we can believe in", what, exactly, is Obama's platform? I guess he is not an "appeaser", since W didn't have to name anyone specific and this guy comes screaming out in protest. Uh, why did that "appeasement" comment offend you so much, Mr. Obama?

Obama is more of a conversative than McCain. Obama is a do-nothing Democrat, like Clinton. McCain is a Ted Kennedy Democrat, like Ted Kennedy.

Whether you like Ron Paul or Bob Barr, you must realize that if Obama is the Democratic nominee, a vote for either of them is a vote for Obama. It will split the vote and deliver the Presidency to him. Think twice before you assist in electing the most inexperienced, deceptive, ruthless and divisive candidate in our history. Above all, Obama must be stopped !!!

I am a former Obama supporter. When he first came on the scene, he inspired me with his message of hope and change. Then, when I started finding out more about him, his armor started to rust. First, I realized that he was routinely dishonest about many things. He says he doesn't accept money from special interests, but then I found out that he uses the same fundraising method developed by Karl Rove for George Bush, called "bundling." This gets around the PAC rules, but it's still special interest money. He has received upwards to $100,000,000 by this method so far. Also, a friend of mine turned me on to the story of how he stabbed his friend and political mentor, Alice Palmer, in the back to gain his first office. The more I found out, the more he looked like the typical politician, except probably worse. Then, when I found out he attended a racist and anti-American church for 20 years, and considered the racist and anti-American pastor to be his "mentor and spiritual adviser," that was enough for me. Now, I will vote for Hillary Clinton, if she is the Democratic nominee, and if she is not, I will vote for John McCain. Obama, fool me once . . .

Bottom line is that socialism turns prosperous nations into cesspools. There are very few people who would work if you offered them free housing, free food, and free healthcare instead. The US is now at a crossroads. We can continue on the path that has made us the most prosperous nation in history, or we can go down the dark road to socialist squalor. If you want the latter, vote Obama.

Posted by: Avenger | May 19, 2008 4:25 PM

Record Crowds. I'd love to be impressed, but I'm still full of questions.

WHAT has Obama done that makes a voter confident that he will break from his past, ie; 'change' (once he becomes President) and start to be productive?

How can he possibly accomplish these A-Z promises? His history of accomplishments could fill a matchbook cover. Maybe.

Will these promised programs be financed with leftover $$ from the campaign?

If the ordinary folks are struggling just to fill up their gas tank, how in the world do they manage to send $$ to send to Obama?

Are these dumb questions?

Someone, set me straight.

Brzezinski is Obama's Russia hater handler, the same old fart who controlled the Carter administration.

Early on in the Democratic debates following the recent assassination in Pakistan each candidate was asked what their foreign policy approach would be to deal with this and the Middle East. Richardson said he would use diplomacy which sounded quite reasonable. With my own ears I heard Barack say: "Bomb Pakistan!" Come on folks, do you "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil"? He said it on television for all to hear.

I was there in line to get through the metal detectors, in line having to tell people to go to the end of the line that wrapped up one street for blocks around the corner and up the street for blocks more. I was there with my white middle class family and my 4 white kids, standing with the 75,000 (we were under that tree on the right and from there we were only guessing at 40K wow!!) We were standing shoulder to shoulder with people from just about every ethnic, socio-economic, sex, lifestyle...you name it clapping yelling... hoping!!!! I looked down at my kids as Obama spoke and for once in my lifetime I saw a President who I could be proud of. One that I will be proud to tell my children "look that is our President, you could be like him" How proud I was to be there helping to make history and to stand with such wonderful people who had the good since to put ALL divisive issues aside and stand for CHANGE. My former independent and my hubby's former Republican VOTE for OBAMA will clinch the nomination right here in Oregon. YES WE CAN!!!!

There is so much black-and-white, splitting among democrats now. Perhaps you all learned from the Karl Rove playbook the past 10 years? When 51% of Americans voted George W. Bush into office in 2004, I thought to myself, "American deserves what it gets." It seems many democrats, if these posts are to be believed, will sabotage Mr. Obama in the fall to cut of their nose to spite their faces, just as the Nader voters did in 2000. Mr. Obama's policies are nearly identical to Mrs. Clintons. If you truly believe in her vision for American and priorities, then you do her a dis-service by sitting out the vote or voting McCain. And, anyone who contributes to the racism and misogyny toward Mrs. Obama on this site has it on their conscience should anything tragic happen to this bright light.

1. If you wiped out an entire indiginous Indian population.
2. If you enslaved, tortured and murdered people of color from other lands just because you could
3. If you nuked and wiped out millions in foreign lands on the excuse it was for the greater good and simply because you could
4. If you are currently torturing, murdering people and commiting genocide in the land where I used to party - the Middle East.
5. If you are cozying up and protecting the the Israeli dudes who strung me up on the cross in the first place? I didn't think that was a funny or a "forgivable act".
5. If you are singularly responsible for destroying the earth and its resources
6. If you are a hypocrite and think by exclaming "Jeeeeessssuuss" with every breath I will save you.
7. If you go to church on Sunday and spend the rest of your pathetic life spewing hate, lies and watching Fox News, Bill "Orally" or Michael Savage (those clowns are not invited either).
8. If you are Attila the Hun, Rupert Murdoch, Hitler, Benjamin Netanyahu, child molester, Ehud Olmert, the devil.
9. If you have a snout, go oink!! oink!! a funny tail a big pot belly and associate with creatures lower than yourself such as
Dick Cheney and George W Bush & family.

People of Common Sense- We are a nation of immigrants and color and diversity and that's what makes us great. Do you think that US' biggest technological strength today, the computer technology you use on daily basis even to type your post here, was invented/developed by only whites, blacks or hispanic, or christians or jews? It was created by us- educated black, white, yellow, christian, muslim, hindu -by Americans from all color and religion who pursue the same dreams -a better life for everyone.
Don't you see that in the Silicon valley or in New York, where the US population is the most diverse and educated, race/religion/color is much less of an issue. Why do you think that average income in Silicon Valley is 3-5 times more than average income in places with no diversity like West Virgina or Kentucky or Alabama or Missipi?
Obama represents our hope and diversity and a better future that we can build together.

Andy,

1) Sounds like a wonderful idea, and is much needed. How will he make that happen?

2) a: What promises?
b: What "legislative agenda", and how does pushing "President Obama's legislative agenda" give "power back to the people"?

3) Sounds good on paper, but who gets to pay for all these programs? I could get into a long discussion about why it's not the responsibility of the average taxpayer to foot the bill for SOME of those programs.

4) The Democrats support of the military is legendary. *snort* Who says the military ISN'T curently deployed where
it's actually in America's best interests? Now THERE is a true responsibility of the average taxpayer. Support the military that protects our borders and our freedoms.

5) The big question here is HOW will he do it? Some people, some countries, some cultures aren't interested in talk. Those are the ones trying to kill us. There are few other countries we really need to make 'nice' with.

Finally, change within the beltway is an honorable quest and a much needed change to be sure. I just wanna know HOW he intends to do it.

I knew JakeD would surface at some point.

Obama would be a fool to accept public financing for these reasons:

His pledge was not "I'll take public financing under any or John McCain's conditions"

The rebubs would use 527 groups to try to dismantle Obama, given their history in election behavior I would be very suspect.

He also said that he would pursue it IF he and McCain could agree to some fair common ground rules, such as if one candidate has outside groups campaigning for them that the amount they spend would count against their public finances in order to prevent unfair 527 groups from taking over the election. So far, McCain has not agreed to this or any other conditions.

Obama has already developed a campaign finance system that is "by the people, for the people" it represents public financing better than any model I've seen so far.

Why doesn't John McCain try something like this instead of his dirty little dealing with the banks and the FEC?


That's why.

Russ, your "take" on Obama's "change" is eloquent and it sounds lovely. I think it's what you want to believe he means by "change". The problem is that he never actually SAYS that. There's absolutely no harm in saying, "These are the changes I'd like to pursue". That at least tells the voters the types of changes they are voting for. It does not close the door on hearing other points of view, or considering different ways those changes might be implemented.

If he never gives ANY clues as to what changes he would like to see, all we can do is guess. That makes voting for him a gamble. What if you find out that's NOT what he meant?? It's one thing to make campaign promises that aren't later fullfilled. Those can be used to skewer a politian later. It's another to be so ambiguous, that when the voters don't get what they "though" he meant by change, he can just say he never said he was going to pursue that "thing" they assumed he meant when he said "change".

Ambiguity is insulting to anyone with half a brain.

I am a digital graphics artist and specialize in doctoring photos. I can tell you from downloading the photo, opening it in photoshop and examining it closely that there is no way to determine if it was doctored or not.

The only thing I would say that could be construed as being suspect is that the people in the foreground and at the very back left side appear to be in focus while the people in the center and right of the image appear to be somewhat blurred. It would be natural for the people in front (assuming that the camera is focussed on Obama) to be in focus, but not the people both in front and the back left while the people in the middle and right are not so sharp. However, the image is too low in resolution to accurately determine this.

Just ask someone who was actually there. I've seen other images taken at this event that verify the size of the crowd, UNLESS the vast left-wing fascist majority has kidnapped all the journalists, hypnotized them and doctored all their photos.

Posted by: jr | May 19, 2008 2:37 PM

In response to Trey's question "what is this change we're talking about?"

1. Reestablish the constitutional balance of power, so that the office of the presidency is no longer usurping some of the proper powers of the legislature.

2. Keep all of the Americans who have gotten involved in politics for the first time this year involved. The grassroots networks established by Obama will have two functions: (1) to keep him honest--if he fails to make good on his promises, we will organize to call him on it (believe it or not, this is an explicit goal of many volunteers); (2) to put pressure on Congress to pass President Obama's legislative agenda. The net effect of these goals is to give a measure of power back to the people and to ensure that Washington is not completely controlled by special interests. (It'll be, y'know, incompletely controlled by special interests...)

3. Institute programs (exhaustively described on the website, if you want details) to improve education, environmental policy, health care, veterans' rights, and make it just a little bit easier for a middle-class family to survive without incurring back-breaking debt.

4. Strengthen the military and redeploy it to where it's actually in America's interests to have it deployed.

5. Rebuild diplomatic ties that have been strained over the last 8-20 years in order to strengthen the nation's reputation and diplomatic capital on the world stage.

There's more, but that's enough. The short answer is simply that Obama wants to begin a process of changing the way power is acquired and exercised inside the Beltway. The changes will be modest, and they will take decades fully to accomplish, but the ultimate goal is to make our system of government somewhat more representational and somewhat less corrupt.

The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American "progressives" in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on "the left" and who is on "the right." It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

That is a fake photo! Its Photoshopped! Seeing is believing? Look closely at the picture, the crowds in the back are not real. Come on folks, they lie in the article too. The media manipulates everything, omitting and ignoring worthy candidates like Democrat Dennis Kucinich and Republican Ron Paul. "They" are trying to pump us up for this FAKE candidate. We'll see if this comment gets posted or censured. (They don't censure the vulgar hand sign.)

Somebody asked, What is this change Obama keeps talking about, anyway. That was a civil question. As an Obama supporter, let me give my own "take" on that.

The biggest thing about government that needs "changing" according to many of us is the total polarization of Washington.

Obama cannot spell out more details, if he is serious about being a "uniter" who is going to bring the country together. He can spell out principles and general policies (which he does not at length in white papers you can access through his web site). But when it comes to some details, they MUST be left unspecified in order for a truly bipartisan process of governance to occur.

If Obama is to respect the Republicans, he will have to include them in a process that thrashes out the details of any particular legislation in congress. (Same with McCain and the dems, obviously.)

Spelling out a policy now and sticking to it later without willingness to change or consider the opposition point of view, and simply ramming one's own policies through Congress later...that was Bush's approach and it only works if you have a big majority in Congress. Maybe that will happen, but I almost hope not, because I think in our system compromise is important. And it can work if the president wants it to work (viz. Clinton and welfare reform).

Another way to look at it is that Obama emphasizes *process*. What he is promising is *reconciliation* of different points of view. That means keeping policy details open until you have a bipartisan group working on the details. Otherwise the call for bipartisanship is a sham.

Those of us who support Obama must have faith that the guy is intelligent enough and has enough integrity to pull this off without abandoning the important goals like national health insurance and ending the war.

Why hasn't Obama stuck by his pledge to accept public financing then?

Posted by: JakeD | May 19, 2008 2:26 PM

While addressing the multitudes, Obama said:

"I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union... They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us."

Once again, everyone is missing the bigger picture. They have us all fighting against each other over these small things, which is what they want. They want us to be polarized so we can't make any real "change".

Go ahead and waste your time arguing about if the sky is blue or not, while we (politicians, world leaders, etc) continue to rob you blind.

Can someone PLEASE tell me exactly WHAT changes Barak Obama intends to make if he's voted into the highest office in our country, and HOW he will implement them??

Change is fine, as long as we all know exactly what sort of "change" he's talking about and how he'll go about doing it. It's the WHAT and the HOW that I need answers to before I'll even think about voting for him. Just voting to have someone different in office is not enough. Not all change is GOOD change.

In most cases you can look at candidate's voting record to see where he/she stands on certain issues. Talk is cheap, but actions speak louder than words. Voting "present" is not taking a stand. It's cowardly.

Funny, all that Lincoln and Republican stuff...

The GOP would be unrecognizable to Licoln today, the morals and what they stand for has done almost a complete 180 from what they were 150 years ago. His ideals are almost 100% Democratic...

And you're exactly right, what was known as the "Democrats" 150 years ago did use the KKK as a tool; too bad that they held the ideals that would make them Republicans by todays standards.

Don't let idiots like this guy try to pull the wool over your eyes, open a history text book!

I agree with Russ. The Post's blogs have been hijacked by irresponsible, racist, sexist nut cases.

I already reported something offensive - sexually and racially - I read a few days ago.

But why not moderate and review these comments first. Why should readers have to report the unstable and unemployable trolls living in their mother's basements

A summer intern could do it easily.

So what's your point? because Obama is a democrat that makes him a racist?

your logic sucks dude

Posted by: Jr | May 19, 2008 2:09 PM

Change? How about campaign finance reform, Obama has provided the answer by NOT accepting donations from lobbyists or special interest groups, but by accepting donations from everyday citizens like you and I.

How many senators, congressmen, $$$ and years including the current Repub candidate has it taken them to get basically nowhere with this issue?

Obama, a rookie, solved it before getting the nomination by proving a candidate can not only win a nomination, but can break fundraising records.

"a government by the people for the people", not "by the lobbyists for the lobbyists" now THAT'S change you can believe in.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican

Renowned liberal historian and author Dr. Eric Foner in her well-documented expose, "The Ku Klux Klan was the Terrorist Arm of the Democratic Party. Founded in 1866 as a Tennessee social club, the Ku Klux Klan spread into nearly every Southern state, launching a 'reign of terror' against Republican leaders black and white." It was Dr. Foner who said, "In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party...and all who desired the restoration of white supremacy."

"'Racism'" is the trump card in the indictment of Republicans," points out Dr. Thomas Sowell of the Hoover Institute. "But the cold fact is that the whole Jim Crow era in the South was dominated by Democrats."

The Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, fought to free blacks from slavery.

Haters notwithstanding, this movement will go beyond this November. Win or lose, the carving up of us Americans is over. We will all be brought together as the younger generation comes of age. It has nothing to do with Obama. He merely came at the right time. We hungered for this, and now we are being fed. And now we have been trained on how to hunt and feed ourselves.

That's all there is to it, people. It is what it is.

How could so much crap get online at a respectable newspaper's web site? Easy. They aren't filtering it or moderating it.

They could hire a college student to screen this stuff in real time, for next to nothing, and the student would consider it a great job: screening comment sections for the Washington Post, for $10 an hour...that would be heaven! (And it would be, for a lot of needy college students.)

Then a lot of this crap would disappear, because anybody with reasonable judgment can tell the difference between legitimate, informative "comments" and the other stuff.

If the Washington Post refuses to take any steps to insure that their Comments sections are not abusive and obscene (or hijacked by political operatives) then they deserve what will happen, which is that they will lose all credibility and appeal, and people will stop reading them.

Posted by: Russ | May 19, 2008 1:59 PM

I have remained civil, and yet my question is still unanswered. Look at all of my posts (as I am not for any of these candidates). Please define the "change" that Obama wants. I have yet to hear any meaningful statement of what that change is. I am not a lemming and just because someone says change, doesn't mean that I will follow them over a cliff. Look at what the last 2 elections proved, if you follow someone without asking about their meaning, look at what you get.

Posted by: Trey | May 19, 2008 1:55 PM

The Washington Post has dropped greatly in my opinion. How can the moderators allow this racist crap and even pictures of middle fingers to be posted here?

Posted by: Disgusted | May 19, 2008 1:49 PM

So funny, a typical attack is "change, what change" and its obvious what the change is- its having a president that is intelligent, articulate and a professor of constitutional law rather then some dumb ass from texas with a record of failed businesses.

Then the second part is to decry "I am not racist" which is really ironic since the only people who have anything to say about race is racist. Thats the point these fools don't get, non- racist people aren't actually considering race at all and are focusing on political issues.

But the best is hes a muslim... but wait he also is aligned with a racist christian preacher. These people can't even get their smears/ lies straight.

Its pretty sad and pathetic but its nice to see an image like this of the magnitude of the real change that is coming. Its time to stop listening to people who have gotten us in the mess we are now.

Down at the bottom of this page, it says that comments containing "profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site." Skimming over just a fraction of this page, it sure doesn't look like it! No one seems to be paying ANY attention to what is posted here. It's a total free-for-all. Which of course means that the lunatics have completely taken over the asylum.

I REALLY wish the Washington Post would start enforcing their own policies. It may LOOK good to post rules, but if nothing is done to enforce them, the whole thing is a farce and joke. Shame on you, Washington Post!

WASHINGTONPOST.COM, MAY 19, 2008

MESSAGE BOARDS MAIL-BOMBED BY GOP OPERATIVES

First, some vocabulary for newbies. Deliberately aggravating or offensive emails or bulletin board submissions are a well-known phenomenon in the internet world. They are called "trolls" (as in "trolling for fish" because naive people take them seriously and "bite" by responding with indignation).

In the old days of the internet in the early 1990s, a naughty person might "troll" by going onto a discussion list for cat owners and talking about how dogs are better than cats.

Nowadays it is more goal-directed...and pernicious. With the Washington Post and other online publications naively leaving their comment sections unmoderated and unguarded, Republican operations have apparently automated the process of spreading misinformation (aka malicious lies) about their biggest headache: Obama.

See the reprint below, of the posting from this very Comment section you are reading now. It traces many of the so-called "Comments" in this section to a Republican headquarters.

But is it true? It could be a troll, itself.

In my not-so-humble opinion, this just shows the need for a positive messenger of high integrity in the highest position in our country, to bring people together and set a more positive tone in our politics than we have seen since Limbaugh and his ilk started to drag politics down into the gutter.

Anyway, here's the earlier posting that is so significant. Somebody else needs to check this and verify it! It's very important if it is true:

"just thought i would ip bash some of these obvious trolls that are posting against obama on here... and guess what i found. the majority of the posts originated from servers based at malgicore utilities. couldnt find any history on this company but i noticed the address looked familiar... 310 First Street, SE, Washington, DC.. just happens to be gop headquarters...hahaha name on the account is bogus but ip obtained with authorization of one Jennifer Sheehan. gop counsel worker."

Heck, this might even merit an article in the Washington Post! But I doubt if they read their own comment sections, so badly have they deteriorated.

Why on earth does the media refuse to discuss racism?

"White-working-class", "undereducated", "poor", "didn't attend college", "physical laborers" etc, etc, etc.

I'm sick of these talking heads dancing around the issue. There are many Americans that are content with expressing their racist views on on camera. Why cant the media just address the issue, and call it like it truly is. Here I'll say it:

HILARY WON WEST VIRGINA BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE IN WEST VIRGINA ARE RACIST AND WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR A BLACK PERSON.

See not too hard!

Racists, whether democrat or republican will NEVER vote for Obama.

Posted by: Bill K. | May 19, 2008 1:24 PM

My Favorive Obama speech: "Yes, Vote For Change! Change is good because it's different, and different is better because different gives you more hope for a better future because in the future things will different and that can only happen with change and change is good! " :-)

And by the way, don't you love it how the obama supporters/robots label anyone and everyone who dislikes him as being "racist" and/or "bigoted".

Don't be fooled. They're just trying to guilt people into being fearful of speaking against obama -- an old fascist anti-free speech tactic.

SICK. It's all a grand illusion.

Obama is a total corporate tool.

Obama's major contributor is the energy corporation Exelon who wanted him to vote FOR the Bush/Cheney Energy bill which increased their oil profits greatly. Obama is BAD for the environment, the nation and the world.

The good people of Oregon would be wise to remember that Obama voted FOR the Bush/Cheney Energy bill which has been devastating to the state of Oregon.

The great Hillary Clinton wisely voted AGAINST the Bush/Cheney Energy Bill.

VOTE SMART! VOTE PATRIOTIC! VOTE HILLARY!

See, the "THE BEST" poster here is an obvious example. It's totally stupid and obnoxious, and 100% of readers would think so. Then he follows with obscene insults to Hillary. So who do you think is submitting that? 10-to-1 odds it is a conservative Republican who feels this is the way to alienate Hillary supporters and keep them from voting for Obama in the general election. Any Obama supporter with more than a first grade education would know that posting such a "pro-Obama, insult Hillary" comment could ONLY have that effect, ergo, it is not an Obama supporter posting that message (repeatedly) at all.

What it really means is that it's time for the Washington Post to have a human being screen these submissions.

Posted by: DILLINGER | May 19, 2008 12:37 PM

THe comments on this site continue to degenerate to the level of foamy-mouthed wingnuts. If all these posters have to say is this kind of shouting and spittle flecked nonsense, I (and I suspect many others) will simply stop reading the rants and leave this posting to the children and emotionally crippled who seem to want scream at the world.

OBAMA IS THE BEST THING THE UNITED STATE HAS TO OFFER AT THIS TIME!!!! HILLARY IS A TURNING COAT,COCKY,ARROGANT,MENOPAUSAL FEMALE WHO HAS NO CLUE WHAT THE MIDDLE CLASS NOR LOWER CLASS NEEDS. OBAMA IS OF BOTH WORDS BLACK AND WHITE!

If these comments were all I knew of Americans, I'd dismiss them as merely a nation of immature, smart-alek, children.
Which, frankly, would explain a lot of your culture and your international behaviour.

The comments sections here and elsewhere are being used by political operatives to try to make the "other guy" (whoever tha happens to be) look silly, by writing in vile and aggressively off-putting posts supposedly generated by a "Hillary supporter" or an "Obama supporter" but actually written by a "Drudge supporter" (or in reverse, let's assume; Democratic operative can easily post comments as offensive or racist "McCain supporters").

Like unmoderated internet lists, which are basically always ruined by inappropriate and aggressive posters (usually assumed to be teenage boys) unmoderated comments sections have become untenable.

My advice is to discount any post that seems excessively vile, aggressive, and stupid, from any side of any political argument. It is VERY possible that the stupid-sounding post is not by an "Obama supporter" or "Hillary supporter" or "McCain supporter" at all. The only comments you can trust are those that are sincere and articular and in FAVOR of a candidate, because then you can be sure it was probably written by somebody who actually supports the candidate.

Steve says; "Bush has brought us HUGE government, trashed the tenth amendment, worked with radicals like Ted Kennedy on legislation, and besmirched the Republican party brand. You libs should love him"
Sorry to inform you Steve, but, according to recent polls, 60% of your Republican comrades still believe that Bush is doing a GOOD job. Wow!!!!!!! Kind of makes you feel good about being a Republican, doesn't it?

Posted by: Veteran1 | May 19, 2008 12:23 PM

JakeD: You know what I mean. The cons are young, the libs are old. It's a lifetime appointment to the SCOTUS. We're talking decades here. It's not worth "teaching a lesson" to Obama supporters to cause something that catastrophic.

"I no longer know the Democratic Party."
Posted by: wcowan

I'm sorry your candidate is not going to win the nomination. But based on your post, I'd say that you certainly do not know the democratic party if you're going to jump ship not because of policy but personality.

Indie,

Yes, it is not free to have the military nor government education. That I understand and do not mind paying taxes for those items. Agreed that the tax system in its current state is not fair for anyone. The only tax system which I've found that is relatively fair is called the Fair Tax (fairtax.org). Show me a candidate that is in full support of the Fair Tax (which is in legislation now) and I will show you a candidate that I will vote for. Until then, most candidates are for government forced income redistribution. The principle ideal that the Fair Tax was built upon is the concept that income shouldn't be taxed (its yours to spend how you wish). Instead, tax how I spend the money and give a "prebate" to let individuals spend money on neccessary items. Income redistribution is the concept behind socialism. Great idea on paper, just doesn't work in the real world.

Hillary supporters who say they'll vote for McCain... enjoy your reproductive freedom while you can. Too bad for gay rights, Roe v. Wade, church/state separation, etc. I hope you can live with the fact that your spite caused a permanent conservative majority on the Supreme Court. Me, I don't think I could live with it.

"It would be safe to say that he meets at least 8 of the behavioral symptoms shown above. It is clearly obvious to even the casual observer. Thus we can only conclude that Barack Obama is indeed a narcissist."
Posted by: Barack the Narcissist | May 19, 2008 11:32 AM

Don't know if you noticed but you exhibited about 7 of those traits in that post.

Let's be honest here: if someone didn't exhibit most of those traits they wouldn't be running for president, period. You think some shmuck off the street is going to trust themselves enough to make hard decisions about this country? Of course not.

Relax.

Indie,

Yes, it is not free to have the military nor government education. That I understand and do not mind paying taxes for those items. Agreed that the tax system in its current state is not fair for anyone. The only tax system which I've found that is relatively fair is called the Fair Tax (fairtax.org). Show me a candidate that is in full support of the Fair Tax (which is in legislation now) and I will show you a candidate that I will vote for. Until then, most candidates are for government forced income redistribution. The principle ideal that the Fair Tax was built upon is the concept that income shouldn't be taxed (its yours to spend how you wish). Instead, tax how I spend the money and give a "prebate" to let individuals spend money on neccessary items. Income redistribution is the concept behind socialism. Great idea on paper, just doesn't work in the real world.

To Barack the Narcissist: Your post suggests you work in the mental health field, so surely you know that personality disorders are (1) longitudinal diagnoses, i.e. you can't diagnose based on one visit, not to mention that you have never met Mr. Obama; and (2) these criteria are only relevant if they impair a person's functioning, i.e. are extreme. Most people who run for political office would meet these criteria, including Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and John McCain.

I am a psychoanalyst, and I think, actually, that people like yourself who seem to need to disparage Mr. Obama's success rather than applaud his success are either suffering from (1) malignant envy, where you hate a person for having qualities you feel are unobtainable for yourself, or (2) unacknowledged racism that does not know what to do with a light-skinned, handsome, elegant, confident, intelligent, well-educated and gifted African-American politician - like Mrs. Clinton, he is forging a new path through the glass ceiling, and racism and misogyny are not far beneath the surface of some of the more hostile, demeaning comments like yours.

Narcissistic people tend to idealize, then de-value others: you are exhibiting de-valuation. Does that mean you are narcisistic? Likely just disappointed that your candidate has not been able to secure the nomination, and hating Mr. Obama for his win. We all need to put principles over personality and support Mr. Obama to carry forward the progressive agenda that Mrs. Clinton supports and values. Otherwise, you don't really support her passions, only her, which is unfaithful to her if she is the amazing woman, committed to her country as you believe she is.

As there was a crowd in Philadelphia and now there's a crowd in Oregon, there's yet another crowd. As part of this growing crowd, we will be leaving the Democratic Party if Sen. Obama becomes the standard bearer. And as part of this growing number, I'm extremely tired of hearing that those of us who are unable to vote for Sen. Obama are racist, and would like to address that issue.

I have been a "Yellow Dog Democrat" all my adult life, have been extremely active in party politics, and have worked in the campaigns of Blacks, Asians, and Whites. However, I cannot support Sen. Obama because I do not think that--as a first term Senator--he has the qualifications to lead this country.

I've been quite disheartened by the media bias that failed to question Sen. Obama. However, positions taken by party leaders--Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry--have been particularly divisive and disturbing. It appears that these same party leaders intend to allow the votes of Florida and Michigan to be counted after they've pushed Sen. Clinton out of the race. Had Sen. Obama not blocked a revote or resolution of the vote in these states, this problem would have been resolved six weeks ago. That, however, would have spoiled his argument that he had momentum and was in the lead. To use a tired cliché--Sen. Obama has won the battle, but will most certainly loose the war. There are many, many life-long Democrats who will vote for Sen. McCain this fall--and who will never, ever again consider themselves Democrats. I no longer know the Democratic Party.

"Liberalism refers to a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal."


Liberal = INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY.


The GOP has lost, they cant define Americans any longer with their silly word games. Republicans are LIBERAL BY DEFINITION.

Thank you, Portland! This amazing turnout suggests that great things are afoot for the national campaign. Obama mobilizes a positive force of good people from all backgrounds, income levels, educational achievements, and points of view. His message is energetic and upbeat and that is why people are rallying to him.

He will make a true difference in our nation.

Go Obama '08!

Trey- since the gov't, military, public education do not operate for free, we have to have a 'tax budget.' The current tax codes put a disproportional amt. of the tax burden on the middle-class while the loopholes and minimal capital-gains tax let the wealthiest bear less of the responsibility.

Death and taxes are guaranteed. It's part of living in a democracy. Again, I'd rather have my taxes go to American's education than to funding world dictators like Musharif.

So called "neo-cons" are essentially economic moderates who support big government and foreign policy indistinguishable from classic Democrat foreign policy. The failure of "neo-con" policy should be a rallying call for more real conservatism, not further flight to the left. It amazes me, that the Democrats are so full of antipathy toward the Bush administration, when he has so willingly acquiesced to so many liberal demands, and acts like a Democrat with his foreign policy. Bush has brought us HUGE government, trashed the tenth amendment, worked with radicals like Ted Kennedy on legislation, and besmirched the Republican party brand. You libs should love him.

"Barack the narcissist". What a hateful, depressed person you must be. Are you calling the Barack supporters, that obviously see the man for what he his and take great pride and joy in him idiots? We have the opportunity to change what has been going on in our country, why don't you educate yourself and get over your bigotry.

A refundable tax credit is still money out of the tax budget. The tax budget is money that is confiscated from someone and given to someone else. I'd rather cut all tax credits and the like (as well as cut all programs to reduce the spending) so that I can afford to send my kids to college. I'll continue giving to charity just as a I do today (probably more so) but don't mandate it through government funded programs. Obama (like all other candidates) want to increase government spending on these programs. I don't want that, I'd rather decrease all government spending and let me keep more of my money. Help me decide how to spend my own money. Government programs seem to be nothing more than a wealth redistribution.

Hot Bush "Injection": A Brief History of Appeasement

It was this morning, while on the elliptical machine, that I heard the 20th (when I began counting) reference to Bush having "injected" foreign policy, via his raising of "appeasement" before the Knesset, into the Democratic campaign debate.

Aside from the face that a Bush injection would likely require more investigation from the FDA and CDC than vaccinations laced with 50% thimerosal, the discussion, which has shown surprising legs, has revealed a remarkable lack of basic knowledge about the distinctions between negotiation (e.g. Nixon's intervention with, at the time a rogue Chinese state, which largely prevented conflict and helped to usher China into the family of nations; ) and appeasement--ranging from the Kevin James school of international policy negotiation through utter lack of knowledge to more informed but still significantly incomplete or incorrect understandings of appeasement as it has been used in this context.

Therefore, I provide you with brief, fully accurate history of the "appeasement" that has been raised in these debates, so that those who wish to use actual fact in advancing their arguments can do so (For those who wish to continue to rely on insinuation, distortion, or the ritual, repetitive, seemingly talismanic use of the cry "He's an appeaser! You know! Like Munich! Like Chamberlain!" without knowing what this actually means. Please proceed to Remedial History, room 101B. No gum).

The Munich Agreement:

The Brief Pre-History of Munich:

Hitler, levered into power in January of 1933 (ironically after their first significant national election outcome decrease in 1932, after which they very well may have faded into their earlier insignificance) through the dramatic miscalculations of former Chancellor Von Papen (who, in his proposed role as Vice-Chancellor, hoped to be the "power behind the throne", and to return to the Chancellorship) and prominent Nationalist Alfred Hugenberg, among others to isolate and co-opt Hitler in a cabinet of Conservative Nationalists ("We've hired him"--Von Papen; "We've boxed him in"-Hugenberg), who persuaded the reluctant, aging President Hindenberg to accept this agreement, soon gained primacy and control over the cabinet, government, and increasingly the nation, through a series of questionable legislative (e.g. "The Enabling Act") and viciously revolutionary and counter-revolutionary (i.e., the elimination of other political parties, the Rohm Purge, brutal and cynical anti-Semitic actions by the SA, the Gleischaltung or "Coordination" of virtually all German organizations and press in 1934) actions.

After gaining such control, and with an autarkic economy that, from the start, invested huge sums in rearmament, Hitler brought the German military into coordination as well, under the aegis of the compliant General Blomberg, and with a shared mission of challenging the restraints placed upon German armament under the Versailles Treaty which followed World War I (Hitler's railing against this treaty had been a key element in the rise of the Nazis to power, particularly in the most dire economic phases of the Weimar Republic). In a series of shocking and escalating violations of this treaty, Germany announced the reestablishment of the German Air Force (1935), the reoccupation of the Rhineland (1936) and the Anschluss of Austria (1937), Hitler began an express drive for expansion conveyed as a correction of the Versailles Treaty, but in fact a clearly stated intent to increase the "living space" (Lebensraum) of Germany, and to attain hegemony in Europe (and, eventually, beyond).

In 1938, under the pretext of incorporating the Sudeten Germans who lived in Czechoslovakia (and utilizing Czech Nazi sympathizers to provoke manufactured "incidents" among this group), Hitler continued this expansionist drive by threatening, beginning in the famous "Weekend Crisis" of May 20-22, 1938, to attack Czechoslovakia on behalf of the Sudetens. Months of anti-Czech propaganda created by the Goebbels-controlled ministry continued through June, July and August. Following a vicious tirade at the conclusion of the Party Congress against the Czechs on Sept. 12, threatening action if the "issues" regarding the Sudetenland were not resolved. This provoked a wave of fear and disturbance across France and the Sudetenland.

As a result, on September 15, Neville Chamberlain flew to Munich to meet with Hitler. Hitler, in this first meeting, presented Chamberlain with an apparent fait accompli, stating that he would settle the matter himself "one way or another", clearly implying force. Chamberlain met this with the remark that under such conditions, there was no further point in talking--after which, Hitler tactically receded and stated that if the question of incorporation of the Sudetenland was open, discussions should continue. Hitler's ultimate goal here was to use the tactic of Sudeten independence to force Czechoslovakia to cede the Sudeten potion of its nation to Germany, claiming that "we want to Czechs"--e.g., the remaining part of the country--and that without such an incorporation, he would attack--thus unleashing the protective guarantees of France to Czechoslovakia, and thereby, a second World War.

Under such pressure, France, Britain placed pressure on Czechoslovakia to cede the Sudetenland. Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain and Daladier (the French premier) provided the basis for the Munich Agreement--which indeed carved off the Sudetenland, leading to Chamberlain's notorious statement of "peace in our time"--set along side Goebbels statement that "We have achieved everything we wanted according to the small plan, while the big plan is...for the moment, not realizable".

Hitler, in fact, intended to incorporate the rest of Czechoslovakia--and was described as disappointed that the agreement had denied him the opportunity for a war against the Czechs that would allow him this full territorial conquest in a single step. In March of 1939, following a similar propaganda barrage regarding Slovakian nationalist independence, Hitler threatened Czech President Benes with the razing of Belgrade, should he not cede the rest of the nation. Under such threat, Benes collapsed, and the Germans seized the remaining portion of Czechoslovakia without resistance.

Ironically, these constant risk-all gambits led Hitler to his fatal mistake--the conquest of Poland, which, although "victorious", led Britain, France, and ultimately the USA to enter the fight against Germany, and Germany to seek to end the battle against these enemies by removing their most likely ally--the Soviet Union--a combined two front battle which led to the downfall of Nazi Germany.

This was appeasement.

The appeasement here was agreeing to give away Czechoslovakia--carving it into sections, and giving the section, and eventually the nation, away. It was shameful--and wrong.


Negotiation: Talking To Leaders

Despite the endless rhetoric of the past week, negotiation is not appeasement.

Two of many examples:

Nixon's Rapprochement With China:

Despite the well-known failings of the Nixon Presidency, Nixon's engagement with China remains a signal achievement. Note that Nixon, throughout his career, was an ardent fighter of Communism. Thus, we might have fully expected him to take the "negotiation is weakness" position with a country that, at the time, was regarded as a rogue nation in the West.

Nevertheless, this fervent anti-Communist chose to negotiate--a marked change from previous U.S. policy--and continued to do so even as highly inflammatory border attacks occurred between China and the Soviet Union in 1969, stating that "We simply cannot afford to leave China outside the family of nations." (a statement that would likely draw errant fire of commentators from the Right if it were uttered today). With a persistent diplomacy through 1969-1972, culminating in a meeting with Chou en Lai, these negotiations led to a dramatic thawing of relations with both China and the Soviet Union--where, in meetings with Leonid Brezhnev, an anti-ballistic missile treaty, a trade agreement worth a billion dollars, and a SALT treaty were signed.

Here, talk--negotiation--decried as weakness this past week--and at the time of these negotiations--led to success.

Reagan and Gorbachev

Reagan, of course, was noted for referring to the Soviet Union as the "Evil Empire."

Despite this stance, he too was willing to negotiate with Gorbachev in the interests of nuclear disarmament--and despite the objections of many on the Right, whose statements at the time regarding the weakness of negotiation could be easily grafted onto the present debates.

As we know, Reagan's meetings, according to Alan Greenspan, "started the sequence of geopolitical initiatives that led Mr. Gorbachev to figuratively tear down the Berlin Wall", and contributed to the break up of the Soviet Union.

Many from the right called for aggressive military action--for missiles first, rather than negotiation
.
Talk--negotiation--led to success.

Note that in each case, the President talked with a leader who they regarded as hostile--in the face of those who argued then, as they do now, that talking--negotiation--signifies weakness.

In each case, talking--strong, informed negotiation--did not result in appeasement of the aggressor, but instead resulted in the desired outcome--in one case, the component breakup of the aggressor nation--in another the end of a threat of nuclear conflict--without a single loss of life.

Negotiation is not appeasement.

When negotiation is chosen, however, it will be the case that those who simply wished for the visceral strike--the simplistic first solution of subduing an enemy through the use of might--will not find its satisfaction. We have seen the results of this position, throughout the years--from the events recounted in the first section, to the present.

Perhaps, in negotiation, it is *they* who have been appeased.

If so, given history--this was a favorable outcome indeed.

Barack Obama has to be one of the most narcasistic individuals ever to run for the office. In fact, he borders on having narcasistic personality disorder covered by the DSM-IV R. The requirements are that he would have to meet 5 of the following behaviors:

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. Believes that he or she is "special" and unique
4. Requires excessive admiration
5. Has a sense of entitlement
6. Is interpersonally exploitative
7. Lacks empathy
8. Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

It would be safe to say that he meets at least 8 of the behavioral symptoms shown above. It is clearly obvious to even the casual observer. Thus we can only conclude that Barack Obama is indeed a narcissist.

To Trey:

If your children have to pay their own college tuition, then under Obama's plan, they would qualify (as most American's would) for the American Opportunity Tax Credit: a universal and fully refundable credit of $4,000 per year. However, it's not a hand-out. Each student will have to work doing community/ national service to give back for this credit.

How is this taking from you and giving to others? Perhaps you can explain if you feel that way about the Bush Administration giving billions of our tax money to the Musharif gov't in Pakistan to help us track down Bin Laden. Money NOT well-spent.

I'd rather fund college education for Americans than fund the personal bank account of world dictators.

It truly horrifies me how polarized and ignorant our country has become. Several posters believing that the well documented event didn't happen as claimed, that the above photo is doctored...doubtful. "THE BEST" person is just a moron - they exist across the political spectrum.
I don't understand how people can build up such partisan walls...you must understand that the liberal perspective that is finally getting some power behind it is supported by facts and statistic. Evidence. The perspective of the neo-cons - attack the middle east, continue current economic and foreign policies, terrorists hate us for our freedom...is based mostly on "hunches" and poking pointless, tiny holes in the evidence provided by the liberals. The neo-cons are driven by faith - something that you cannot readilly fight against.

The Dems are being set up by the MSM. Only after Obama gets the nomination are they going to start asking questions that will show he's not qualified.

If you want to beat the MSM at their own game, go to an Obama appearance and just read one of the following:

Then, upload his response to Youtube.

If he's speechless until they've put his answer into the teleprompter, catch that on tape too.

Anonymous, posting THE BEAST, is a typical liberal, and typical of Obama's supporters. The response to criticism is to try and shut up your opposition, with ANY means available. Yes, Obama's supporters truly do resemble Stalin, Castro, Mao, Hitler, et. al.

@ the individual who said that the bottom of the totem pole deserves something. What do they deserve? I too am in the same position you are (having to have my own kids pay for their way through college). But that doesn't mean that they deserve something from someone else. Instead my money that I earn is confiscated and given to someone else that is "more deserving" of it? If I had it, I could pay for my kids education. instead it goes to someone else's kids education. please enlighten me as to how this is fair?

Its going to be a landslide for Obama come Nov. The GOP doesn't stand a chance, McCain is a horrible choice.

Send King George to Iraq and let him rule over his new nation! McCain can run for VP of Iraq!

"The Best" Poster, is a CLASSIC Example of the WORST, that is "Barry's" Base!

Children, should STAY OUT OF POLITICS!

I am still amazed at the amount of people who think with so much hate. And you are probably the same people who voted Bush into the office for the second time, and look where that got us. Yes I am a black american, and I love the democratic process. I am not a HRC fan, but not because she is white, or because she is a woman. I do believe it is time to do things in a different manner. Whether it be a democrat or a republican, it is time for the people on the bottom of the totem pole to reap some type of benefits. The rich are going to get theirs no matte what we do, but me being one of the moderately poor to middle class income family, I work hard for my family, and they are going to college having to pay their own way because I can't afford to pay it for them. But we are americans and have the right to get whatever assistance we may need because of our income to get an addequate income so that we can become a part of society in a positive sense. So you hateful people need to sit down, and re-evaluate yourselves. This is a very important election year, not to mention historical, but we don't need to resort to all this hatred! I don't think either candidate has any hatred for one another! But you all generate enough hatred to keep the US in power for centuries!

This photo isn't fake because I was in that crowd and it was the most amazing experience ever!

to: the person who keeps typing THE BEST- you are either an incredibly immature adult or your mommy has stepped away from the computer for a minute.

Either way, it's just stupid and annoying.

Wow, will you look at that. Marxism IS the best. THE BEAST THE BEAST THE BEAST.

The "Doctoring" of this Photo is actually pretty obvious. Shame WaPo lost the Credibility publishing such a bogus PR Stunt.

Look at the Left side, all the way back.

Now compare their size to the Millions shrunk in towards the Middle to look like a "Where's Waldo" from hell.

To have the Children pull a Stunt like a Doctored Photo on the Internet is one thing, in a Major News Outlet,

Well, NBC does seem to have WaPo's Support.

Credibility, Flushed down the drain! :-(

So these negative comments are being posted on computers at GOP head quarters in DC?

Good grief, Washington Post, CNN, and even Fox, wouldn't this be considered a news story? I'll even write your headline:

HATEFUL GOPers ALLOWED TO USE COMPUTERS AT PARTY HEADQUARTERS TO POST RACIST REMARKS ON WAPO SITE

What do I like about this candidate?
* The potential to overturn the "Washington Consensus" mentality globally and to elevate people above profits
* The audacity to speak about hope and change - things that can't be quantified and that matter more than things which can
* His race - in a country that was built on the backs of African slaves, Chinese coolies and immigrant toil, it will be a breath of fresh air to see a non-white in power
* The fact that people all over the world - Europe, Asia, and elsewhere - are looking to Obama to be a new kind of American president - one who is inclusive and respectful of people in other countries
* Someone who will be progressive on the environment and social issues
* And, not for nothin', somebody who pisses off diehard conservatives. Yeah, that's really good too!

For anyone who even thinks the photo above is doctored (LOL- this really is the GOP's worst nightmare) 'Google' this event and there are plenty of sites that have video streams of this rally. Some sites I went to were from European newspapers. (more objective observers, you have to admit).

America is tired of eating the garbage fed to us by the GOP. 7 years of Bush has left a very bad taste in our mouths.

Obama is a closet Muslim, racist, communist, terrorist, chauvinist, LOL. Please tell me closet minded neocons which religion, his father's that abandoned him or the racist one. Now open the door, let in the light, see the world as it actually is and base your views on what people did, not those around them. That race baiting Obama had this comment on the NYC Bell case, we are a nation of laws and the court has spoken. There he goes again starting racial trouble again believing in the constitution.

I won't resort to name calling, which is apparently all that a lot of people here can do (both left and right). I just want to point out that it would be quite stupid of a national campaign to doctor a photo and claim 75k turnout if it were not true. 75k people all showing up at the same time and place is pretty easy for an independent person or journalist to verify.

Let's leave the cheap name calling behind and actually talk about issues like grown ups should.

Obama has nothing to say other than change. Go CHANGE! okay, what does that change look like? it means more of a socialist economy in which wealth envy rules. I'm not rich, but neither do I believe that what I earn should go to any one else. What I earn is mine, and no body deserves it more than me. Please explain to me how someone else is more desrving of what I earn than me?

Um comparing Obama to Stalin, Hitler or Castro is well a bit of stretch, don't you think? As far as I can tell, he hasn't murdered 50 million people yet... and I don't see how he's not supportive of the Constitution. You are being brainwashed by Bush's rhetoric. Why do people like to throw Stalin and Hitler around? The comparison is nonsensical and irrelevant. These Republican comments are pretty pitful right now.

Obama: 53 projects, $97M

Posted by: Credulous | May 19, 2008 10:48 AM

Actually the only "hateful comments" I have heard in person were from Obama supporting liberals. I get called names just because I don't support him. They don't see any reason why a person shouldn't support him, so therefore, they must be racist.
He's run an amazing campaign and he's held his own against Hillary (which can't be all that easy), but for his supporters to claim they run a "positive" campaign without mud-slinging, they need to think again. Never have I been called so many names or been talked down to, just because of a political campaign.
Great job, guys, but please don't brag that you are "the nicest" and "the cleanest", when you aren't. Let's be honest with ourselves. I mean, that's what Obama is trying to portray his campaign as, right? A honest campaign. Let's follow in his footsteps.

I guess the crowds Obama draws, now up to 75,000 consist of brainwashed sheep who can't think for themselves? A politician who hasn't drawn people into the political process in numbers like these in my lifetime is apparently something to mock?

I guess the handful of old white people that come to hear McCain talk must know so much more than everyone else in America?

A grassroots campaign that has, so far, attracted over 1.5 million contributors and has energized Americans to pay attention to the political process must be very scary indeed to a party that has counted on American fear or apathy to keep them in power.

It has only just begun.

He has done nothing to prove himself worthy. It's not surprising to see this in Oregon as that's where all the hippies moved to.

I don't think the guy can win the general election. More sane people either stay home to get their chores done or out working. But they will vote in November and there will be even more exposed about the so called Messiah.

The "Obama lovers" (code) are euphemistically slithering under a rock, and along comes Drudge to lift it up the rock & shine a conservative light on the low-bellied creatures as they snarl and gnash their collectively dull teeth. They pause for a moment, lifting their mandibles in the air and hiss "Stop shining a light on us. Go back to your world of truth and expose', and let us continue to slither, crawl, and gnash our teeth".

Looking forward to a new American nation under Obama, with a new character inspired by that of its founding fathers. Notwithstanding the usual racists and foreign lobby groups that naturally would benefit greatly from the Neocon agenda and policy, I think and hope Americans are sick of the same old, stagnant and destructive policies that thus far have shown the world that the US is a country that thrives on a hateful, belligerent, hypocritical, holier-than-thou, war-mongering, genocidal, destroy-all mentality. I hope with Obama a s president t this nation will turn a new page and the horrors that punctuated its history will be permanently a thing of the past, never to be re-visited ever again.

My problem with barack HUSSEIN obama-nation is that he is a closet muslim. I'm sure once he is in the Black House(the first change to be made) he will break out the prayer rug and start holding press conferences wearing a dish towel and a fan belt on his head.

Then the subjugation of white Christians will begin when he appoints louis "the freak" farrakhan as the head of the DHS(department of honkey subjugation).

When all the womyn who voted for hussein obama have to fall in line with islamic standards for women, and have to start wearing burquas, they will finally realize they have been hoodwinked.

You just wait, it's coming.

From the NYT board:

I was THERE and it was like being at the Vatican on Easter, with lots of sunscreen, hats, and water bottles. There were TONS of white republicans -- both young and old -- in addition to Libertarians and independents. I was surrounded in line by republicans. And, believe me, there was plenty of time to get to know them. We waited in line together for 3.5 hours and walked (very slowly) 12 blocks to get in. The line stretched for blocks and blocks behind me. The overall atmosphere was elation, rather than impatience at the wait. When I first got in line, I happened to be in line across the street from the hotel where Bill Clinton was staying. He came out as we were there and waved to everyone on the street. Many people around me expressed their disappointment that it had to be a choice between Hillary and Obama. It has been a long and grueling campaign. A surprise for me has been the knowledge that my grandmother, who has been a life-long republican, switched her party affiliation so that she could vote for Obama.

75,000 people to see a man that only says "change." How sad? The issue is not that he is black, the issue is that he is not qualified for the position. This election is an eample why Affirmative Action needs to go away. Another thing...Anyone that Hyphenates his or her name or describes who they are, are not true Americans. We need someone that will give more power to the people. We someone that knows more words than "change." We want lower taxes, or we need to Enact the Fair Tax." We need someone that is strong on national security, someone who will not pander to Unions and whinny little welfare people who do nothing but bring our country down. We need real change. Not this socialist BS. We need free markets, controlled spending in Congress. We need a political revoltion, and this man is not it. People need to get past the color of skin and someone's sex organ and look at what the real issues are, and who is going to fix them. THIS GUY ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING! I would rather vote for Mickey Mouse. BUT WE ARE A NATION OF A BUNCH OF DUMBMASSES, WHO LIKES BEING PANDERED TO WHATEVER THEY WANT. HOW SAD, GET A JOB!

Quit calling Obama names! He IS not a socialist. A socialist wants wealth distribution and all Obama wants is to help his people and make it fair for everyone in America. No more rich getting all the breaks, regardless if they worked hard for them or not.
We'll finally be able to afford everything and have everything given to us that we have a right to have - food, shelter, healthcare. It's a crime that not every American can have these essential things!
Obama is the savior we have all been waiting for! He is like Jesus reincarnated! He will save us all from the evil kings that seek to keep us down. He is one of us, not one of them. He knows the struggles Americans go through, he knows what it is to be in debt.
Why can't everyone see how everything will magically change once he gets elected? There will be no more evil rich people, everyone will have jobs, there will be no such thing as poor people, there will be world peace because he'll talk and convince others that we should be friends and not enemies. Oil will flow abundantly and be affordable once more.
He is such a God-send!

As there was a crowd in Philadelphia and now there's a crowd in Oregon, there's yet another crowd. As part of this growing crowd, we will be leaving the Democratic Party if Sen. Obama becomes the standard bearer. And as part of this growing number, I'm extremely tired of hearing that those of us who are unable to vote for Sen. Obama are racist, and would like to address that issue.

I have been a "Yellow Dog Democrat" all my adult life, have been extremely active in party politics, and have worked in the campaigns of Blacks, Asians, and Whites. However, I cannot support Sen. Obama because I do not think that--as a first term Senator--he has the qualifications to lead this country.

I've been quite disheartened by the media bias that failed to question Sen. Obama. However, positions taken by party leaders--Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry--have been particularly divisive and disturbing. It appears that these same party leaders intend to allow the votes of Florida and Michigan to be counted after they've pushed Sen. Clinton out of the race. Had Sen. Obama not blocked a revote or resolution of the vote in these states, this problem would have been resolved six weeks ago. That, however, would have spoiled his argument that he had momentum and was in the lead. To use a tired cliché--Sen. Obama has won the battle, but will most certainly loose the war. There are many, many life-long Democrats who will vote for Sen. McCain this fall--and who will never, ever again consider themselves Democrats. I no longer know the Democratic Party.

I have had someone coming door to door to see if I had turned in my ballot as well as at least two personal phone calls for the same purpose (all within a day).

Why are people so afraid of a 'black' person to become president? Blacks voted for whites for generations.

After all, Obama is 50% 'white' anyway, so does that make him white, even though he looks a shade of black? - This is an American thing. Other countries don't even see this as an issue.

Maybe you should just close your eyes and actually listen to what this guy is saying. He is brilliant and it doesn't matter what he looks like!

If you want 4 more years of shady foreign policy, a continuing decline in our economy, an even weaker dollar, higher gas prices, increasing food prices, more dead American soldiers and another terrorist attack in the United States, then go ahead and vote for McCain.

I'll vote for Obama in November because I want to be able to afford gas, food and I want my fellow countrymen to be safe at home instead of in a war zone that Bush created by fearlessly (and moronically) ignoring U.N. weapons inspectors.

We need to put an end to our shameless and clumsy foreign policy RIGHT NOW. All we do by staying in the middle east is save face. There is nothing to gain in Iraq and we need to get our troops home. How many more lives have to be lost? How much lower does our economy have to sink? What the hell has to happen before you wake up and realize that there needs to be change in our country? That we need a more peaceful foreign policy? That we need a leaner and less spendful economy? How many more flag draped coffins and lost jobs will it take for you to quit paying mind to talk radio and main stream media pundits? When will you start thinking for yourselves and waking up to the fraud that the American government has become?

When there is no constitution left, you can't afford to heat your home and your family is gathering spare change to purchase a loaf of wonder bread, will you still turn on the news and believe everything is alright because some fat idiot in a suit with a combover tells you that our wreckless foreign policy, insurmountable government spending and war mongering is keeping you safe?

WAKE UP!

As a noble American, I claim all of the comments below as mine and mine alone. I shall take these people and build a Ron Paul city. And there we shall prosper with the Constitution as our Bible, our pleasure reading and our crossword puzzle. We will work and play and eat and not share our views with you anymore. We apologize for being so rude on this post. We cannot help it. We are lonely, alone, despised, and ignored. We think we are smarter than everyone. But people just aren't open to us. They just don't understand that we are the most intelligent, most prosperous, most rational people in all of America. So we shall build our city. Away from all of you. So goodbye world.

Obama said to the Wall Street Journal: "Watch how I run my campaign."


***********


My response is that Obama ran a campaign like a complete HYPOCRITE - He started off talking about a post-racial America and how he wanted to transcend race all how Obama was the "one we have all been waiting for" - how Obama was for "new politics."


HOW did Obama run his campaign?


He launched on a pre-planned whisper campaign within the Black Community - twisting Bill Clinton's words around - pretending that those words were "OFFENSIVE" to the Black Community.


That is not change folks, that is the old politics.


It was race baiting - it was RACIST against the WHITE COMMUNITY.


Obama played the RACE CARD.

NOW Obama is stuck with that episode on his resume.


ONE of the few items on Obama's resume that is not related to AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.


To be honest, Obama is a real joker telling the Wall Street Journal that uniting latte liberals and the black community is an accomplishment - especially when Hillary has been such a nasty and hated figure.


Over half the nasty Clinton democrats are now with Obama now - like rats which have jumped ship.


AMERICA is not going to get much different from Obama - the same nasty Clinton democrats are going to be in his administration - making the same types of horrible decisions which have dragged this nation down - like the free trade deals which has hurt our industry in every small town in America.


That is how Obama intends to run this place.

Read these words from a man that viewed the political condition as being ripe for change:

"Millions harbor in their hearts the longing for a fundamental change in the existing circumstances is proved by the deep discontent from which they suffer. It is expressed in thousand fold forms of symptoms, with some in despair and hopelessness, with others in aversion, in wrath and indignation, with the one in indifference and with the other in furious exuberance. Also those who are sick and tired of elections, as well as the many who tend towards the most fanatical extreme of the left, may be looked upon as witnesses to this inner discontent.

It was the aim of the young movement to appeal first of all to these elements. It ought not to form an organization of those who are content and satisfied, but to bring together those who are tortured by suffering, those who are without peace and unhappy and discontented, and above all it must not swim on the surface of the national body, but has to root in its foundations."

Since Democrats partnered with K-12 unions, the cost to educate one student has tripled adjusted for inflation.

Since the Democrats introduces student loans for college, colleges have upped their prices, lowered their standards to allow the failures from K-12 in at the expense of taxpayers tripling the cost of college adjusted for inflation.

Since the Democrats introduced Medicare they paid hospitals for being inefficient and paid more when a patient was subjected to a preventable medical error. Now everyone is outraged that health care has tripled its consumption of gross domestic product and hospital zones are more dangerous than the Iraq war zone.

Since Democrats will not allow exploration of gas and oil in the U.S., oil prices will continue to rise. Alternative fuels are a great idea, but its an idea not reality. The feel good gasohol foolishness is starving the World. But death as a consequence of a liberal cause is not a cause to cease something that has a history of failure.

With history paved with Democrat failures, the youth of America what Obama to make remarkable change for the World when he has not demonstrated a capacity to bring remarkable change to just one individual, neighborhood,community, etc. An Obama presidency just may be the car wreck that a nation drunk on feelings and perceptions needs to get on the reality wagon.

FACT: CLINTON WINS THE STATES THAT MATTER IN GENERAL ELECTION.
DONATE: hillaryclinton.com
Obama lost West Virginia by more than 40 points, an enormous fall, voters who went against Obama -- white, rural, older, low-income and without college degrees -- don't just live in West Virginia. They live everywhere in the country, in places Obama needs to win in a general election. Lost in all the talk of the inevitability of Barack Obama's nomination is the fact that Hillary Clinton has a very compelling case of her own. The contorted Democratic primary significantly differs from an actual presidential election. Caucuses, which is proportionately favor young, vocal enthusiasts who are willing to stay up late in the night; superdelegates; unelected party officials who are free to ignore the
will of the people and proportional representation of delegates are all electoral processes that have no parallel in November.

If the Democratic primary were a winner-take-all contest based on electoral votes like the general election, Clinton would lead Obama 290-214. The fact that Obama has won the majority of states, most of which are small, or has a slight lead in the popular vote does not mitigate the fact that Clinton is by a large margin the more competitive candidate in a national election

It is a fact that no Democrat has won the White House since 1916 without winning West Virginia, Obama lost West Virginia by more than 40 points, an enormous fall, voters who went against Obama -- white, rural, older, low-income and without college degrees -- don't just live in West Virginia. They live everywhere in the country, in places Obama needs to win in a general election. In anticipation of the West Virginia primary, college students for Obama were hurling insults at farmers and truck drivers. Now we hear pained remarks from the Obama camp that many white men won't vote for any black. Oh really? No one was complaining during the early races in Iowa, Maryland, Virginia and Wisconsin, when most of the white male participants backed Obama. That was before the Rev. Jeremiah Wright ugliness became public. Obama's inability to persuade working-class white voters to back him points to serious problem for him in the presidential election. A large percentage of voters who backed Mrs Clinton said they would not vote for Obama in the presidential race if he becomes the nominee. Disrespecting the nearly 17 million who have supported Clinton is politically unwise, but turning them into "the enemy" is insane

http://www.dontvoteobama.net.

Surely proved if Obama would become Democratic nominee he will certainly lose the general election: Obama's camp philosophy of his cadre amount to one big put-down of America. President represents something very personal to Americans who proved they are not in the habit of electing candidates who hold their country in contempt. Not only have the comments of Obama's wife, Michelle who referred to America as "downright mean" and stated that she was not proud of her country until her husband started winning primaries and his minister, Jeremiah Wright (whose hateful, anti-white, anti-American diatribes are available for sale in Obama's church, or for free on YouTube) revealed the tired, leftist scorn for America that Obama represents and condones. Obamas own remarks have exposed this ugly, unelectable side. Obama attempted to explain his persistent deficit in Pennsylvania primary polls by describing small-town Americans as "bitter" people who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." This is hard stuff, and patronizing, besides. Add to this Obama's characterizations of the "typical white person" describing his grandmother, whom he tossed under the campaign bus to create a false equivalence with Wright's racism and one finds something far more damaging than a simple series of gaffes its a window into how the Obama sees his countrymen. Obama's associations in addition to Anti- American Wright, speak to this unappealing point of view. William Ayers, a domestic terrorist enjoys a friendly relationship with the Obamas. Voters are learning ( with no help from media like CNN & MSNBC, Ayers bombed the Pentagon on May 19, 1972, and fondly recalls, "The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them." Ayers and his accomplices also bombed the U.S. Capitol, the State Department, as well as banks, police stations and courthouses. Obama has defended Wright insisting that he merely represents the convention of "Black Liberation Theology," as though this were just some quaint offshoot of traditional Christianity. One need not pore over the tenets of Black Liberation Theology or its founder, James Hal Cone -- although a Google search of either would provide a world of clarity to the undecided voter to recognize that a would-be President who cannot utterly disassociate himself from such racist, anti-American rubbish lacks sufficient character and affinity for his country's ideals to be its leader. Americans understand that their president's instinct ought to be to defend the nation against unfair invective, not embrace those who purvey it or, in the case of Ayers, seek to blow it up altogether.

Since the media has failed voters and Obamas refuse to explain or tell the truth, Maybe you can explain Obamas relationship with Ayers, Gadaffi Syrian tycoon, Antoin Rezko, Saudi Arabian Scheiks and Nadhami Auchi, Iraqi billionaire, global arms dealer who was best friends with Saddam Hussein, and the main financial backer for Saddam's Iraqi -Saudi oil pipeline, and stood trial with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Qasim. VOTERS are concerned why CNN & MSNBC refuse to question those relationships, coupled with Obama's 20 plus yrs with Rev. Wright shows a serious pattern, which Obama seems quite comfortable with people who really, really, really HATE U.S of America. If you question him or his values or policies, you're part of the "divisive, distracting" practices voters associate with Washington. Them's the Obama Rules.

Obama's chief political adviser David Alexrod on National Public Radio claimed white working class Democrats barely exist and hardly matter, white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, This is not new, WE don't need or rely solely on those votes.

Obama wants to impose 20% tax on cost of Barrel Of Oil Above $80 which again drives up Cost Of Gasoline On Americans! why doesn't Obama Acknowledge Fuel Costs For Truckers Hurt The American Consumer? Increasing Cost Of Everything Including Food, Retail, And Manufactured Goods.

Obama Claims That He Does Not Accept Contributions From Federal Lobbyists, records show he has accepted $128,000 From Lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Obama calls For Higher Income Taxes, Social Security Taxes, Investment Taxes, And Corporate Taxes, As Well As "Massive New Domestic Spending and a healthcare plan that perhaps could be the next step to a full-scale, single-payer system.

Obama Pandered To MoveOn.org By Promising Not To Fund Troops In Iraq In The Future. "Eli Pariser, [MoveOn.org's] Executive Director, told ABC news but Obamas senate record shows he voted against bringing troops home, voted for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater, voted with Bush/Chaney posturing S433 to suspend any troop withdrawal which keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come.

Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption.
Obama Said The U.S. Needs To Focus On Afghanistan, Obama has held Zero hearings as Chairman Of The Subcommittee On European Affairs. "Doubts about Barack Obama's presidential credentials have crystallized over his stewardship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs, which has convened no policy hearings since he took over as its chairman last January.

Obama inconsistent explaining how Genocide in Iraq would affect his plan for withdrawal: Ambassador Crocker said that a quick withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq could result in genocide and if that began to emerge as an issue, would you stop the withdrawal?" Obama: of course. Obama Previously Said Preventing Genocide Would Not Be A Sufficient Reason To Remain In Iraq.

Why Is Barack Obama Silent On SEIU Attacks After Denouncing Similar Independent Expenditures Earlier In The Primaries? Labor Unions And Other Independent Groups Have Already Spent Over $7.1 Million In Support Of Obama's Campaign for the presidential nomination, campaign records show.

Obama's racial stereotype of the 'typical White person' and his view of the 'typical small town person.quoted as disparaging residents of small towns in Pennsylvania as being "like a lot of small towns in the Midwest" where "it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Obama is unapologetic, even dissing of voters in Florida and Michigan one has to wonder what groups of Americans he really respects?

Racist wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America "for the first time" only because of her husband's presidential run.

Obama explained he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin or hold his hands to his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance because it is a substitute for patriotism,

Obama loses to Hillary Clinton in a face to face debate in Phil, next day gives her the finger behind her back in a speech in NC. What a man! And the Obama fans were laughing with him, reminding me of the congregation in Reverend Wright's church cheering and patting him on the back during his racist sermons

Nations deserve the leaders that they get. We see that the Iraqis deserved Sadaam. The Isrealis deserve a thief like Ehud Olmert who steals goverment monies after Isrea stole it form the USA. We need another president we can drink a bear with. This was the critirea that most Americans based their president balots on.

We need another white dude who look like us, talk like us, steals our money, sends us to war, take our homes, take our 401k's, molest our children (Mark Folley), Charge us $300 a month for health care with a $600 deductable that only covers 80% total medical cost. More white dudes to tell us about "forein Oil" while making 4 Billion dollars in 3 months. More white dudes(GM) to sell Brazil Ethanol efiencent cars and sell us gas guzelling hunks of trash(Hummer). More white dudes like us to take a $1000 a year education and balloon it to $9000 at a state College then offer us 29k for a 4 year degree before he lays us off many years short of paying off those masive student loans. No thanks we don't want anything new here.

Give us a old white dude who thinks war is romantic with a lot of corporate money behind him. "Bomb bomb bomb Iran".. McCain

We do not deserve anything other than what we have and worse.

The national democrats have degenerated into secular socialists the past 40 years. They push bigger gov-ment, higher taxes and no basic morality. Its how they vote and its the groups that back them strongest.
By their voting records you shall know them. The rest is fog. Its all about buying votes from the less successful for power with the taxes of the most successful.
See, no profanity, no names, no rants...conservatives do not need the juvenile tactics to make their point. The secular socialists do... when there supporters are not yelling or throwing pies or tearing down signs.

Firt it was 30,000 then 50,000 now 75,000. According to the actual article in the Oregon News Papers, also in the crowd were Hillary supporters and undecided. Many people showed up just to see what the hype was all about leaving feeling exactly the same way as entering. Empty.

Gary,

Thanks for your feedback. At least it was mature and sensible, not like some posts on here.

But I don't have to "grow up." I'm a 50-something year old grandmother who has seen a lot. And I haven't seen anyone like Obama since the 60s.

--Do you have proof for your statement about the hospital? I'd like to see it. Also, you have to remember that Obama hasn't accepted lobbyist contributions for his campaign.

--Is staying in Iraq really making us safer? We're causing more conflicts and creating more enemies. Would you love the U.S. if your family had been killed by American bombs?

--Government-funded success? How about interstate highways? The postal service (most of the time). Public education. I have a kid in a great public high school and two in state universities.

--Taxes will be higher for the rich, will make sense. For most of us, taxes will be lower.

--Off the top of my head, how about the Lugar/Obama Non-Proliferation Act? Richard Lugar is a respected Republican senator from Indiana. Obama worked with him to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world. They even traveled to Ukraine together as part of this effort.

Do you have any more questions? Bring 'em on!

Unfortunately what Obama voters dont realize is his policies and stances go against everything this country has stood for. He demonizes the successful and placates the weak. Unfortunately, he is a liar like any other politician, and frankly, I fear for his safety. And if the democrats were not so racist as to think that electing someone because of his skin color and not ask him what he really stands for, they would have this election in the bag and the country for once, would not be on the brink of disaster and socialism.

But what do you expect from a marxist canidate? When you openly say you will trash the economy out of "fairness" by raising capital gains taxes most americans pay, raising corporate taxes (and thus reducing money and jobs paid to workers), and raising taxes against small business owners (and the largets employer int he coutnry and who just happens to be in the higher tax bracket (which isnt hard to reach), it is an obvious recipe for disaster. When the economy is slow, the answer is not to raise taxes.

So do we have problems? yes. But the government is not the answer to any of these problems. It is up to you to better your life. It is up to you to WORK HARD for what you get. YOU must realize a 4 year degree only shows you might have learned something and is not a ticket to living like your parents standard of living but only 30 years before they attained that level. Its not the governments role to pay your loans, tuition, insurance, etc. It shouldnt be the government passing new laws to fix old ones that are not enforced. It isnt the governments job to protect you and allow you to suck the government teet your whole life.

So it gets down to it as big government vs. status quo government. Imagine the day if you had 15% of your income at this point put in a retirement account. I would be a millionaire at least 2-3 times over. Failed liberal policies of Social security will ensure my hard earned money is wasted. Socialized healthcare I dont want will further this divide and ensure my retirement years are spent more working than anything else.

Obama stands for change, that is ture. But it is not change this government can afford.

These postings confirm how incredibly IGNORANT so many people are. Turn off Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and pick up a book, you lazy, beer-bellied, armchair soldiers. Before using terms like "liberal" and "fascist" in the same sentence, do your homework. I know reading may be a stretch for you but there really are some good political science books out there. I know, I know, science is bad and all but just try it for a change. God, if we are still the world's only superpower with so many STUPID citizens, this planet much be filled with throngs of retards.

If you are looking for a politician to give you answers you need to get help because you are seriously mentally ill. If you are looking for the government to give you answers you need to get help because you are seriously mentally ill.

Mr. Obama is a Chicago gangster who will be paying off his patrons, the race-baiting black Muslims, the Sharptons, the Jesse Highjacker gangs, the enviro-psychotics, the feminazis, and the anti-european racists, with cush government contracts and jobs. Funding for lesbian biker art in pubic spaces will flow freely.

Every degenerate liberal fascist cause will find an open checkbook at Obama-nation. Christ in a piss jar? Nude photo exhibits of 8-year-old girls? You ain't seen nothin' until these psychotic hippie animals shake the fleas loose from their ratty dreads. Get ready for a propaganda blitz that will make thieeir master Goebbels proud.

You people are giving the president too much power. Its the congress and senate that passes the bills and laws that run this country.
Kyoto? 0-95 vote by the House
Economy? Read the consitution, the president does not do make one law for this, he can veto a bill, but its the house and senate that writes it.
Katrina? Each city and state has a mayor and governor for a reason, to protect their town. The president cannot micromanage everything.

No matter who is president, it is the lower rated congress that will matter.

Many are asking - what change? What can this guy do? Why the crowds? Why are people flocking to this "Messiah?

You don't get it. This isn't about a guy. It's about the people.

This November will mark the first time in American history, since the invention of the television and the advent of MSM, that We, the people, have a President.

This is the first President without debt to lobbyists, PAC's, special interest, or corporate America.

Obama is the first President whose run to the Oval Office was financed by Americans, and not outside money. Not a stitch of favor-debt.

So the question isn't "what is he going to do?". The questions is "what do we want?".

And you're about to find out.

Posted by: 08AMA | May 19, 2008 6:57 AM

Whoa. I am fearful for Obama. One half expects more from him than the last 5 or 6 presidents. The other half is raging mad and scared that a black man is close to the Presidency.

America has been on the decline for a long time. Bush just nailed the coffin shut. Obama is just a man who stood up for what a lot of people want-- to clean house in Washington, DC and to start working w/the world, not against it. This change movement is bigger than one man-- it's going to take the people.

We need another white dude who look like us, talk like us, steals our money, sends us to war, take our homes, take our 401k's, molest our children (Mark Folley), Charge us $300 a month for health care with a $600 deductable that only covers 80% total medical cost. More white dudes to tell us about "forein Oil" while making 4 Billion dollars in 3 months. More white dudes(GM) to sell Brazil Ethanol efiencent cars and sell us gas guzelling hunks of trash(Hummer). More white dudes like us to take a $1000 a year education and balloon it to $9000 at a state College then offer us 29k for a 4 year degree before he lays us off many years short of paying off those masive student loans. No thanks we don't want anything new here.

Give us a old white dude who thinks war is romantic with a lot of corporate money behind him.

We do not deserve anything other than what we have and worse.

One of Obama's latest speeches, "Ask not what, no, that's not it, Four score and seven, no sorry, I have a dream, no, one second, I got it, Change, Change, Change......."
the question is change for the better or for the worse and don't tell me things can't get worse

It's all very impressive but we'll see how much good it does him when he loses Ohio, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Missouri, Florida, and every other southern state. You see, Portland may love the guy but there's a lot of other Americans concentrated in important places who don't share their sentiments. The liberals are too busy congratulating themselves on their upcoming victory to notice that though.

Posted by: Dick | May 19, 2008 6:47 AM


I believe in strict gun control . All liberals will give their guns to me and I will take care of it.

I believe the rich should pay higher taxes. And if everyone pays 10% of their income, the rich will pay higher taxes.

I believe it's un-American, morally repugnant, and rude to discuss what someone else pays in taxes. It's none of your god damned business.

If you don't think taxes are high enough, get out your checkbook, start writing, and S.T.F.U.

America's basic problem - too many people minding other people's business.

Those who get government services should pay for them. If it's free, it has no value. Do the rich drive any more miles on the road than the crack dealers?

We have to find a way to tax liberals at 110% of their income, because that's what they have the government spending.

Fair? Who the F- are you to tell me what's fair? You want fair - move to the "Fair" solar system in Galaxy R22. Fair is liberals sit down, shut up, mind their own business, and eat this nice paste.

Get rid of the Supreme Court. All it does is promote liberal fascism. Make black-robed tyrants an endangered species.

Periodically we need another Civil War to clear the air of the stench of liberal fascism for a few generations. We're overdue.

Gotta love the media with their half-assed reporting.

Posted by: Bob | May 19, 2008 6:43 AM

Racism, homophobia, and fear mongering--this is the foundation of Republican political rhetoric and thought and it emerges when the base (literally) are confronted by a politician like Senator Obama.
Maybe you would all like to move to Russia: you might like it better now that your politics and theirs are so similar.

Posted by: michaeln | May 19, 2008 6:43 AM

This is the kind of hypocrisy that Obama is trying to eradicate. You racists keep harping on Wright.Have you ever been guilty by association? Look at the Cayholics, they're still sitting in the pews while the {EDOPHILIA PRIESTS are molesting their children.How many of you have denounced and rejected your Catholic friends?None I suppose , otherwise, the Catholic Church would be extinct.

Posted by: branqua | May 19, 2008 6:40 AM

Change? Why? I've never seen wealth, prosperity and such massive gluttony in my life. Americans of all shapes, sizes,colors and persuasions are partying like it's 1999.

If you need food, education or even money you can get it. If you want to invent something, make something you can make a fortune.

And except for yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater, you can pretty much count on saying whatever you want.

Utopia? Far from it. Slowly evolving toward it? Maybe. Take responsibility for your own offspring and wife or husband, work hard and maybe it will work.

Or instead lets make government line our pockets, buy everyone a Benz, cure all illnesses, get us off drugs, put a diploma in our hand along with knowledge, stomp out pollution, in China too, and we will all finally get a good night's sleep.

Change? A slogan or substance.

And remember when shaking your head at those obscene oil company profits that the majority goes to pensions, funds and bennies for the many many many of our loved ones. Yes that includes someone's pension in your own family.

If Senator Obama is the guy then so be it. But the swell in support seems to be coming from many that don't pay taxes or living expenses (students), and antiquated thinkers (Luddites), that believe government has the capability of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

Go through the legislation that was passed in Washington last year. There nothing there except appropriations for more programs that never seem to advance the whole dilemma. Why do we need it?

My biggest problem with Senator Obama is that I am having trouble understanding what change he is talking about. Are we going back to manufacturing jobs to compete with the Chinese? Are we going to subsidize people buying houses they can't afford? Are we going to drill oil here and build nuke plants that are not private and give all the energy away? Are we going to do away with sales tax so that the notorious expendable income of poor Blacks has greater buying power? Are we going to lower the already low standards of education so everyone has a Graduate Degree rendering all Degrees useless? Are we going to make bling tax deductible so we can all have more? Are we going to require that the average American watch 13 hours of TV per day instead of the current average of 11? Will we allow people to work more than one job if they want to?

If you work in a factory and make 40K, you don't pay taxes. If you come from a poor family you can absolutely get a college education either for free or very close to it. If you can't afford a new car, the last time I checked there are millions of used ones for sale. And just like you pay for food to live you probably should pay something for health care. Pay something. Pay for housing. Pay for potato chips and big gulps. Pay for health care.

Why is America so bad? We need to be better. Like China. Or even Iran. Or like Indonesia. We need to give extremists more of a voice to push their religion on us. To suppress our women. Or someone like Russia to teach America how to build an economy. We need to make sure that the absolute horror of racism and bigotry around the world comes to America to teach us about race relations because after all, America invented Racism and slavery.

C'mon people on both sides. Let the real debate begin about how to best continue the American way and to not shut off the flow of prosperity, of charity, of research, of technology and of Hollywood viewing content.

I'm a conservative to the heart and have been for all my life. Unlike other Republican's I do view life w/ an open mind. I'm will be voting for Obama come Nov. I will vote for him, b/c he is not drinking the Kool Aide that the others have been intoxicated w/ for the last couple of yrs. When I'm training troops of combat, like I have been for the past eight months, I want to hear how a future leader will be victorious in a bogged down current version of Vietnam. NOT that we will be there for 100 yrs. Although I think pulling out of Iraq is not the best option, show me a plan that has saved lives on BOTH sides. Nobody can come up w/ a solution. Get us the hell out, rebuild our military, take care of our vets and most important make sure at all costs that we don't repeat this mistake again. When I was in Afghanistan, things seemed to work. Lets refocus our efforts there, get the job done and then get out of there to. In addition he is the only one that "gets it," when it comes to understanding our countries problems. While these politicians are fumbling all over themselves, gas continues to go up, people are getting laid off, medical expenses are on the rise, food is on the rise...do I need to continue. Obama might do some things that I won't care for, but I'm willing to sacrifice my core values in order to turn this country around. WE CANNOT KEEP DRINKING THE KOOL AID, WE HAVE TO MAKE SOME MAJOR CHANGES OR THIS GREAT COUNTRY WILL FALL ON ITS OWN SWORD!!!

Posted by: Bearman | May 19, 2008 6:31 AM

Just because the masses are following Barack Hussein Obama doesn't mean he is a leader, or has any of the RIGHT answers. He is a marxist. For instance, what does he think about drilling for oil in the United States? He says NO. What does he say about Nuclear Power? He says NO. What does he say about more oil refineries? He says NO. What does he say about tax relief? He says NO. What does he say about more spending? He says YES to everything. I rest my case.

I posted a comment yesterday, at 9:23pm, shortly after the blog item and the photos first appeared. . . It seems like a lifetime ago. I've since seen a comment that the negative posts are due to the item being linked from the Drudge Report. But that can't account for all that we are reading here.

I am re-copying my original post here. I still stand by my statement that the Post has a responsibility. . . not to censor, but certainly to explain, to put what has been happening into context. But when I wrote it, I had no idea how bad the situation would become. My concern was so tame it seems almost innocent now. . .


Posted Sunday, May 18, at 9:23pm:


"This 'comments' section is one of the scariest things I've ever read. The Post should do a serious study of it and publish the results. How representative are these comments of the voting public? What is the editors' analysis of who is posting what kind of comments and why? It would be fascinating, and reassuring, to know exactly what is going on. There needs to be interpretation and explanation. Otherwise, this stuff just sits there doing its work subliminally. Hey. . . think of the children!

StellaMaris, thank you for your reasonable comment. For all those other LUNATICS who have NO CLUE as to what they are talking about with smears about Obama, wake up because you cannot stop a TSUAMI! Obama has finally given the people of this country an opportunity to find the right path in our many struggles and some of you racists don't have the sense God gave a rock to even listen! At least I am willing to listen and learn and I LOVE everythig I learned and I KNOW he is going to be the BEST POTUS this country has seen since our forefathers! So to all of you racists, it's a damn shame that YOU will be included in the 'rewards' this country will reap due to our new POTUS Obama!

More white dudes to tell us about "forein Oil" while making 4 Billion dollars in 3 months. More white dudes(GM) to sell Brazil Ethanol efiencent cars and sell us gas guzelling hunks of trash(Hummer). More white dudes like us to take a $1000 a year education and balloon it to $9000 at a state College then offer us 29k for a 4 year degree before he lays us off many years short of paying off those masive student loans.

Sure Atlanta.

And you are going to be the moderating voice of reason on an Internet forum or in America this election season?

Welcome to the zoo you call America. You undoubtedly helped make it what it is, and it is what you and your descendants get to live in.

I'd say that most likely, someone at the Post needs to monitor the comments section better overnight that what I'm seeing here.

I am now better able to understand what's wrong with the Republicans, based on the frighteningly pedestrian discourse that's occurring on here tonight. (And I'm supposedly a Republican!)

It seems we have two camps on here tonight (with the third, more rational minority), mostly either praising Obama as a "black savior" destined to enslave the "white race" (and evidently supporting that position) - and a group of bigoted hateful god-knows-what proclaiming Obama as a "black savior" destined to enslave the "white race" (and railing against him).

America, what have we become? Is this the level of commentary that we now should come to expect when not editorialized? Yikes.

We progressives know more than you do about the best way to live your lives. When Obama comes to power, we will finally have the opportunity to make all our dreams to control your lives become a reality.

Anyone who disagrees with us or tries to debate us will rightly be labeled as homophobic, racist, zenophobic, and unenlightened.

McCain and Obama beter make wise VP picks cause odds are neother is making it to the finsh line.

This obama "the uniter" end the "politics of division" mantra is not working/
This election is turning out to be the most divisive in recent memory.

McCain in a landslide.

In Pennsyvannia Hillary won by 200,000 votes!

Now Hillary got 10 delegates with that 200,000 vote gain.

While Obama got 13 delegates with the 13,000 vote gain in Idaho.

What is Obama good at? Manipulating the system.

Obama will not even have a SMALL town hall meeting in Portland Oregon to allow a one-on-one because he doesn't like to answer questions - he would have to have answers which he does not.

See for yourself:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvNFWLiLQxY

143 is the number of working days in the senate that Obama was actually in the senate from the day he was sworn in till day he announced his exploratory committee AND we know were he has been since then!

And, what was it, 106 times he voted to NOT MAKE A DECISION, not voting yes or not voting no. WOW, WHAT A DECISION MAKER!

Oh, and we can't forget the 6 - count them - SIX TIMES - HE SAID!!!! HE SAID, HE "ACCIDENTLY, HIT THE WRONG BUTTON"!!!!!!!

Numbers to REMEMBER OBAMA BY:

the nutjobs are out in full force.

I don't understand why right wingers are so obsessed with homosexuality. Or rather, the only way I understand it is when one of them gets caught with meth and a hooker... double plus good when the guy is also the pastor of a fundie church. (And Obama's as much of a muslim as Ted Haggart is "cured.")

I live in red-state America and Obama will hopefully win my state this year. We've had enough of the incompetence of the republican party. We want to once again be the standard bearer for human rights and freedom, rather than a nation led by war criminals. Of course we need military might. But that's not enough.

This election is not about white vs black America. Obama is as much white as black and he has overwhelming support among college-educated white people, especially males. The fake race hatred post was so obvious. You are the only ones you are scaring. Go ahead and sit with your thumbs in your mouth, huddled under a blanket and the adults will deal with the little piles of crap Bush has left all over the place.

The NYTimes did a much better job today with the same story. Is your moderator out sick? Or maybe he's gagged out on what he's reading.

Check out the pictures on the NYT -they're a lot more impressive. 75000 hardworking (mostly) whites used their day off to witness history. Obama's got the Mojo!

I think that a lot of the hate-filled rubbish written in these comments is the work of paid GOP operatives who are trying to sow fear and ill-feeling among the population. The greedy thugs who have been running the show are AFRAID of the awakening of the American people. There is a whole lot of justified anger at how the corporations and those who control all the wealth have been taking us all to the cleaners for so long; Barack Obama has an opportunity to create real and positive change for the working people of this country. Ignore the fear-mongering of the right-wing race-baiters! Our day is almost here, folks.

Posted by: Bob in Portland | May 19, 2008 5:39 AM

One word says it all; Charisma. He has it and McCain does not. While I do not look foward to it, I suspect he will be the next president. I also suspect that the Dems will have a super majority in the Senate (i.e. 60+). The reason so many people are looking for "Change" is because so many people are under and un-employed. The government's statsitics on inflation and employment are total lies.

Oh and we're sorry for having an initiate process that actually works and allows the people to create laws rather then those lobbyists that Republicans love so much. Oh we're also sorry for all the gay internet porn created here that your heroes in the GOP love to jerk off to while they're molesting their pages and having anal sex with their aides. We're also sorry that we don't go around calling everyone who's black by racial slurs and we don't believe the latinos are stealing our country.

Oh and we're sorry that your two faced candidate John McCain who flip flops more then a pancake house is getting his butt whooped. His hugging George Bush doesn't impress us.

Do you want to know why Obama will win in November? Look at the educational level reflected in all the comments written by so many ignorant,hate-filled, racist homophobes who have posted here. (Apparently many children were left behind.) This is George Bush's legacy: a public discourse that is mostly the ranting of some very sick people. Where are the true conservatives who should be leading the charge against this immoral sickness?

Remember how beloved and respected we were immediately after 9-11? Where has that love and respect gone? Democrats and liberals certainly haven't been in control of much of anything . . .

Seriously, why should we vote for McCain unless we want more of the same? Obama is attacked for associating with despicable people, yet there is little evidence that he shares their values and ideas. McCain has aided and abetted the Bush administration for eight years. He shows significant signs of not only having been influenced by Bush, but intending to continue his most onerous policies.

A landslide for Obama is in the offing.

Dont worry!!! your heads off people he will never make the presidency. I cant seem to fiqure out who would be of the lesser of two evils to vote for. Well I am not democrat anyway so I am not voting for him or Hillary. Get ready folks the Muslims are coming to take over.

Obama is a superstar senator. He has gathered the most crowds than any of his political predecessors in American political history.

When it comes to charisma and crowds Obama beats Kennedy, Malcom X, MLK Jr., Al Gore, John Kerry, John Edwards, Howard Dean hands down; his turnouts is showing he is the most superior of all who are endorsing him and that he is better than all of them.

But on the other hand, because there is record turn out, it does not always (often not) equal to votes, however, in a nomination or general election process.

Blacks are now more superior than whites and we shall take over Tim Russerts, George Stephenopulous and the likes of their jobs.

WE BLACKS WILL RULE THE WORLD AND WE WILL PAY BACK ALL WHITES WHO PUT US INTO SLAVERY MANY YEARS AGO AND TURN WHITE MEN, JEWS, & BLUE-COLLAR MEN INTO SLAVES.

HE HAS NOW PROVEN HE CAN WIN THIS NOMINATION PROCESS WITHOUT HIS POLITICAL FRIENDS AND ALLYS. HE HAS WON THE GAME. HE HAS USED HIS WHITE FRIENDS. AND ONCE HE GETS THE PRICE HE WILL TURN AWAY FROM THEM AND MAKE THEM HIS SLAVES FOREVER!

Serigne said VIVA OBAMA!!!

except we all know that Hillary has the Latino vote.

Plus, Latino's don't like thieves - like Obama - Si Se Puede does not belong to the slaves crossing to escape in the night.

Obama - just another example of his trying to fool his uneducated cult.

Obama can have his full 18 million at a rally - Hillary is still getting the popular vote and she doesn't need to cheat at the minute caucaus system to do it!

Latinos are loyal not like Blacks.

Latinos respect Hillary for her honest hard work and bravery.

Hillary is the smart choice.

Hillary is the experienced candidate.

Hillary loves the USA.

Hillary will be our nominee - get used to it.

We need another president we can drink a bear with. This was the critirea that most Americans based their president balots on.

We need another white dude who look like us, talk like us, steals our money, sends us to war, take our homes, take our 401k's, molest our children (Mark Folley), Charge us $300 a month for health care with a $600 deductable that only covers 80% total medical cost. More white dudes to tell us about "forein Oil" while making 4 Billion dollars in 3 months. More white dudes(GM) to sell Brazil Ethanol efiencent cars and sell us gas guzelling hunks of trash(Hummer). More white dudes like us to take a $1000 a year education and balloon it to $9000 at a state College then offer us 29k for a 4 year degree before he lays us off many years short of paying off those masive student loans. No thanks we don't want anything new here.

The Sermon on the Mount...
I love how rabid Obama disciples (and I mean that word literally) post anti-Obama comments that are outrageous and racist just to make those of us who a terrified about his liberal, appeasing, nanny-state policies look racist. Hey "progressives", its not his color...its his beliefs. He is a pure socialist. So quit trying to play the victim and race cards and ...nice try with the race baiting...we get it. Hillary tries it with the "Iron my pants" guys she planted in the crowd to make her out as a victim of sexism. We see this same thing happening for the next four months with Obama. No criticizing the new messiah...God help us.

I have not heard or read anything about a national energy policy from neither Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John McCain. Obama says he'll tax big oil: big says we'll just raise the price at the pump or move to a big business country like United Arab Emerates we lose thousands of jobs. Hillary and McCain say suspend the federal tax at the pump. Whoop dee do, so we drop from 3.68 a gallon to 3.50. Wake up

Thank your stars folks, like so many other generations, this one as well stands witness to yet another misguided, hollow mass movement - Obama-mania: the love of the vague and uplifting, a sweet intangible upon which anyone may drape their aspirations for "goodness" and foresee them being magically fulfilled, were only this new, downtrodden messiah elected. This aspiring symbol of oppression conquering racism by riding the juggernaut of white, liberal guilt. With heavenly peace and socialism for all to assuredly follow, as massive taxation and entitlement programs follow Democrats. In Hussein, the long, bloody decades of murderous Utopianism are vindicated. The conservative, white, male imperialists are dealt the long-envisioned coup de grace by a honey-tongued David sailing his impenetrable stones of indecipherable wisdom at the head of the insufferable Goliath. Well, that's the epic, pre-election version, anyway. Hussein can do what nearly none of his predecessors have done? Reform, rather than adapt to, the corrupt DC system of national administration? Haaa! Liberal Political Dream, take 235. Roll'em!!!

Dear Washington Post editors,

Most of the comments posted here are not only offensive and filthy lies but way below the standard of journalism. People judge the quality of your paper based on these comments as well. I understand this is an open and free-posting section but the editors need to check what people are writing and posting and take them seriously. Otherwise it means that Washington Post is giving those racist and homophobic rants a free pass, and that is not acceptable. Would you even consider publishing those comments in your paper, the printed version??? Please. Don't disgrace yourself.

Dear Mindless Troll

I've lived in Costa Rica, which has "socialized" medicine. I've never gotten such good healthcare in the US as I got in CR. I never had to wait more than a week for a doctor's appointment. When you go to the ER, you never wait more than 1/2 hour. I waited with a bleeding friend for over 3 hours in a US ER. And dentistry in CR is exepliary. I got work done for less than 3k that would have cost 10-12k in the US. Costa Rica medical and dental care is so good that a "Medical Tourist" industry has sprung up that draws US citizens to CR with lodging and transportation. Don't fall for the US HMO/Insurance Company propaganda about healthcare

Obama's friend in Chicago Mayor Daley said last week that war with Iran should be Obama's choice. the Chicago City council tried to pass a no-war-with-Iran resolution and Daley wouldn't let them. He said if Obama wants war with Iran, he should be able to have one. Don't tie his hands. This position was probably based on a conversation with Obama.

This makes me wonder what all the sheep in the photo are actually admiring.

First of all what gives other countries the right to say anything. As far as I know the US is autonomous! Do you think Obama is going to cut back? Will his wife give up her Lexus LX?

The hateful, racist, homophobic comments here really speak to how uneducated and uniformed Americans are.

I have to laugh at the idiot who says "Show me one socialist country who is better off than we are!" Well, all the Scandinavian nations (that's Denmark, Sweden, Norway for you nitwits) all have a higher standard of living than us.

In fact, our health care system is now ranked 37th in the world and we have a lower literacy level than every country in Western Europe (which isn't hard to believe considering these comments).

And how stupid that people think this photo is doctored. The same story is on every local Portland news outlet, idiots! And just because you see a white person on the stage, how do you know that wasn't someone introducing him before he spoke?

America: Land of the pathetic. Don't worry about Obama ruining the country, it's obviously been going downhill for a long time. GWBush just stepped on the gas and has driven us over the cliff.

Nations deserve the leaders that they get. We see that the Iraqis deserved Sadaam. The Isrealis deserve a thief like Ehud Olmert who steals goverment monies after Isrea stole it form the USA. We need another president we can drink a bear with. This was the critirea that most Americans based their president balots on.

We need another white dude who look like us, talk like us, steals our money, sends us to war, take our homes, take our 401k's, molest our children (Mark Folley), Charge us $300 a month for health care with a $600 deductable that only covers 80% total medical cost. More white dudes to tell us about "forein Oil" while making 4 Billion dollars in 3 months. More white dudes(GM) to sell Brazil Ethanol efiencent cars and sell us gas guzelling hunks of trash(Hummer). More white dudes like us to take a $1000 a year education and balloon it to $9000 at a state College then offer us 29k for a 4 year degree before he lays us off many years short of paying off those masive student loans. No thanks we don't want anything new here.

Give us a old white dude who thinks war is romantic with a lot of corporate money behind him.

We do not deserve anything other than what we have and worse.

Did I say that I was miserable here? My family and employer depend on me, I'm not going anywhere. Maybe Steve should go back to public school and learn to read.

What Steve and his naive comrades don't understand is that Portland is not a representative cross section of the state. Last November a ballot initiative to raise the cigarette tax and pay for the health care of middle class children was defeated in a landslide in Oregon. If they can't sell this back door approach to socialized medicine on the west coast, they certainly won't sell it in middle America.

Sorry Steve, but if you are so ignorant that you believe that a politician is going to improve your lot in life, you should probably find a competent psychiatrist. There are shrinks in California who specialize in deprogramming fools who have been brainwashed by cults.

Gordito,
Do not forget JFK is also reponsible for the Bay of Pigs. Great example of liberals helping other people out.

Cuban Exiles: "Will you help us over though Castro if we need you?"
JFK: "Sure I will set the Navy outside and wait for a signal and come help you."
CE: "We can launch flares"
JFK: "Great idea"
Later on
CE "WE NEED HELP!!!" flares launced
JFK: "No don't help them"
Thousands were slaughtered that day. JFK was such a great President, the best his daddy's money could buy.

He hasn't a clue about what it is like to struggle from paycheck to paycheck, how to make ends meet! All he is giving is lip service. I actually hope he gets in, he will go far in helping the Republican party and I have to admit I am looking forward to a perverse enjoyment of watching all of you whine and carry on when you are actually worse off than you were before putting him there! I ask you just one question, name one socialist country that is prosperous, that is better off than the good ole US of A? I bet ya you can't!

It's so pathetic to see so much hatred spewed on here for someone dedicating his life to making others' lives better!

The bitterness in this forum really isn't about Obama--it's hate for anything that he can stand for: a strong, highly educated black man. The bigotry is sad and depressing, as if the racial divide is still running rapid when online forums provide anonymous indentities the ability to vocalize their inner biases and prejudices. If you would give Obama a chance, you'll see something special. The irony here is everyone claims to be fair and just, but they wouldn't give him a chance simply because he's black--and that's the truth.

Is it no wonder that our young go to school (elementary through college) and try to solve their problems with a gun. Their models, parents and a nation, have taught them well. As a nation we have become what we say we despise. We will elect the same old politician and then complain after a couple of years that they're all alike. And we will wonder why fewer people want to participate in the election process. When someone different comes along, we heap our vile upon them.

How is he the best candidate for president since Kennedy? Some of you Obama supporters really haven't a clue about politics and what makes a president great. Speeches don't make a president it is how they lead in time of crisis. The biggest crisis Obama has faced is Hillary Clinton in a debate. Life in the Whitehouse will be MUCH different if he gets elected.
What scares me more than anything is that people who vote are going with a candidate who talks about change but what he is selling is what liberals have been selling for years. Higher taxes, bigger government and socialized health care. God help us.

SOCIALIST! - absolutely no doubt Obama is Socialist (that why all you leftists love him - DUH!)

As for leftists being smarter, are you out of your mind? The left is made up of four basic groups (and combinations thereof): (1) the lazy scum who want handouts, (2) academia who can't do anything practical, so they hide in a college and write ("if you can't do, teach"), (3) artsy fartsy smelly pot smoking hippies, and (4) sexual deviates. Leftists often have good rote memory, but no analytical ability at all. How else can you explain people who support a political system that has destroyed every country it has ever been implemented in.

TERRORIST! - Obama hangs out with them and his political career was launched in the house of one (although Obama's probably not one himself)

FAG! - I have yet to see any credible evidence of this, nor have I heard any prominant Republican or Conservative make any such allegations

All these teenage girl-like comments deifying Barack Obama...what a bunch of fawning slop. Barack's ego must be so big by now, it has its own gravitational pull (maybe the reason for the crowd size).

Obama has been openly endorsed by the anti-semetic terrorists of Hamas (I trust most of those supporting Obama in the above comments are, ah, less-than-enthusiastic about supporting the Jews as well, shall we say). He's been endorsed by the anti-white, anti-Jewish Louis Farrakhan. If Obama pulls out of Iraq as fast as he says he will, he will sentence untold numbers of Iraqis to die as their country descends into violent chaos (the militants are already the ones who've been doing most of the killing there). Further, Obama has been listed by a non-partisan group as the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate...and yet he's a 'unifying' person? Why? Just because he looks good and talks platitudes?

And all this, about a guy who can't even be honest about his own identity. Barack Obama is not black. His mother was as white as Hillary Clinton.

By the way, something everyone seems to be missing: why does it matter how big the crowd in Oregon is? Oregon is going to vote Democratic anyway -- just like many of the states that went for Obama in the primaries are going to vote Republican.

Well, back to work. I have much more important things to do, now.

I am proud to support Barack Obama and I am looking forward not only to vote for him, but to see him win, make history and usher this country into a new era of respect, peace and prosperity. He is by far the best presidential candidate, not just of this cycle, but since JFK. God Bless the USA.

Gordito,
Do not forget JFK is also reponsible for the Bay of Pigs. Great example of liberals helping other people out.

Cuban Exiles: "Will you help us over though Castro if we need you?"
JFK: "Sure I will set the Navy outside and wait for a signal and come help you."
CE: "We can launch flares"
JFK: "Great idea"
Later on
CE "WE NEED HELP!!!" flares launced
JFK: "No don't help them"
Thousands were slaughtered that day. JFK was such a great President, the best his daddy's money could buy.

He only "makes a speech." That's what they've been saying,including poeple like Hillary Clinton. The fact is they're just stumped in the face of this extraordinary pheonomenon. We've seen nothing like it since RFK particularly, and MLK. NOTHING!!! You mean to tell me this is just a fluke? A repeated fluke? Some people can't get over their envy, no matter how they dress it up. Hillary keeps saying "He can't get elected, he's black! he's black! Can't you see?" And still Americans are coming out in their hundreds of thousands to see and hear the black man who can't get elected. What does one make of this obvious contradiction? Envy is there, certainly, but there's also a wilful blindness, I think, i.e., 'I don't want to see this, and I won't see it! It doesn't exist, I tell you, IT DOESN"T EXIST!!!'

Let me tell you I make only about 22k a year. The rich are taxed more than enough. If you want a reason to stop complaining get off your lazy butt and start working for more money. I am sick an tired of people looking for handouts. They think the rich owe us. The rich got to were they are because many of them got off their butts and worked for their fair share of money. Many of you say you can't live off of your current wages, start living within your wages. How is it that I can buy two brand new cars and pay them off under a year each? I know how to spend within my limits. Many of you go out rack up your credit cards buying all your fancy crap and then complain about not having any money. It is time for the American people to take responsibility for there own lives and quit looking for the government and others to drag their lazy butts through all life's problems. It is time to grow up America!

Now imagine if each carried a flag or wore an arm band made of all the colors of the rainbow. The colors would reflect the diversity and universal acceptance of all types in Obama's administration. Visual a sea of color where bigots, racists, and those unwilling to Change would be drowned. Shame on those who dare to detract from our glowing leader. Have your evil fun while you can. We wont forget you and you must know that your time is coming. Take a look at this photo and take heed. Never before has the world seen masses like this converge for one man. He is all we need. One Man. One Nation. One Leader! Accept the inevitable and join us in Change. Join us now while Obama's arms are open and his wonderful heart is full of forgiveness. The time is coming when attacks of the Same Old Politics will no longer be tolerated. In January, we will Move On, and four years later you will not recognize the United States of America, and four years after that, the World. Join us, and Say it with me now: O'BAMA! O'BAMA!

"wow this does look like a doctored photo when you look carefully. How many stories is that white building in the raer? Look at the window hieght relative to the crowd in the rear"

No, it looks just like Waterfront Park jam-packed with people, similar to how it looks at the 4th of July fireworks show(yeah, don't think Portland isn't just as patriotic as any other city!), with people docked in boats in the river, hanging out on the bridges, and getting a view from the east side of the river, just like they were today. Only on the 4th, you'd see the crowd more spread out in their seperate groups, where here it's just wall-to wall people!

Don't start supposing things from optical illusions...if you'll notice, there is an uphill slope leading up to that building you mention. From my perspective as a long time Portland resident, this is an entirely accurate view of the park.

At the very least, it might help your ad hominem invective become more interesting.

The retarded vitriol, slander, racism, and outright lies being served up by right-wing droolers here shows the true and ugly face of the GOP.

They know that they can't win on issues, so they chant mantras of untruth: "MUSLIM! MUSLIM! SOCIALIST! TERRORIST! FAG! FAG! FAG!"

And, as a few others have pointed out, have you noticed how the posts with the worst spelling and grammatical errors are always from right-wingers?

Is it a coincidence that about 90% of academia are Democrats, liberals, and leftists? This goes for the majority of of educated people.

The only way the conservative corporate war mongers can keep power is by scaring and lying to very stupid people, who will in turn vote out of ignorance and fear.

And why is American ignorance so arrogant? There's nothing worse than an uninformed boob loudly and righteously spewing an opinion, especially one which is for waging more war.

I moved away from America four years ago and have never regretted it for a second. Reading the extra-chromosonal chimanzees' poo-flinging on this reminded me of how hopeless the future of America is.

So please, wipe the drool from your chin and kiss my socialist a**.

Comparing to his crowd drawing as "walking on water" and "fish and loaves. Do you people actually listen to what you are calling this mere mortal man? This is absolutely insane. I have not seen him doing anything but amass a huge crowd. I have listened to Barrack speak and his words are empty. You say he unites yet in his own speeches he changes his points to hit every bodies needs. Please people of America wake up. Quit flocking to a man as if he is your savior, he is a politician. I have not heard him say anything about how politicians are the problem with the country today.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., "It seems when Congress gets involved, we do more damage in the world than good right now. We're not doing a very good job is the areas we need to be concerned with." Yes, he is not running for President but he has this statement correct.
People I beg you do not follow the flock like a bunch of aimless sheep. Do research and know what and who you are voting for.
Whomever this country elects as President we deserve, for better or worse, whether the President drags our nation down or lifts it up we will deserve who he vote for. Are you ready for this? Do you know what is at stake? Have you every lived through any of these proposed policies? Good luck to our nation in this upcoming election.

Hi Jeb:
Sorry. Actually, you are the "douche". Labor creates everything of value to humans. Only unsuccessful businesses pay any taxes: they go out of business and lose everything, including their grandmother's life savings.
No successful business pays any REAL taxes, because, to ALL successful businesses, taxes are merely another part of overhead (costs, expenses) which get passed along to, and paid by, the end consumer. Therefore, ultimately, because it creates everything of value, including taxes, labor constantly bids (via elitist fascistic transnational "globalist" currency speculators and hedge fund managers) against itself for who will produce goods and services for the entire world for the cheapest possible price. Ignorant hoi polloi labor constantly bidding against itself is the REAL "tax" which is impossible to paid by the "rich".
I say that, not as a collectivist, but as an Ayn-Rand-type anarcho-capitalist. The so-called "rich" are merely the people who are most skilled at how to manipulate and control "the system" politically for their own benefit.
Non-commodity, debt-based, political "money" is merely a stupid-human device by which the clever steal the labor of the naive. Obviously, for the so-called "rich" to pay REAL labor-based taxes would defeat the whole purpose and design of the scam. :-)

Like many other calm, intelligent, rational, Washington Post readers, I have found myself utterly appalled by the vile, substance-less, racist, homophobic, ignorant things written on this comment board today. I wondered what on Earth this could mean about the Washington Post (supposedly the LIBERAL paper in DC!) and our country is general.

Then I realized the reason all these neanderthal trolls are here-- Matt Drudge linked to this article as his top story.

Sure says something about his readership...

Posted by: Matt Drudge is the Reason | May 19, 2008 2:21 AM

I live in Portland. I did not attend the rally (I was calling voters for Hillary's campaign-getting a lot of agreeable responses.) But I know the area of the rally well. After looking at the pictures, I think that there may be some distortion stemming from use of either wide-angle or telephoto lenses. I attended Kerry's rally there in 2004. 50-60,000 people were present. So, I do not doubt 75,000 were there today. I also agree that the photos do distort the visual image. The size of the area appears to the naked eye to be smaller than it seems in the pictures. The building in the background is a hotel and is 6 stories high, I believe. The photo makes the hotel to appear to be looming over the area more than it actually does.

Some points about big rallies in Portland. Kerry's rally in Portland may have been the biggest in his campaign. Oregon is one of the bluest states in the USA. However, in the November election Kerry only beat Bush in Oregon by four points. You recall how he did nationwide. As to whether this rally moved the numbers greatly, remember most Oregonians had already submitted their ballots before today.

Finally, keep in mind that Oregon's count may take a good deal of time to complete. Exit polls won't help. Because we vote by mail, there are no polls to exit from where reporters are standing by. Hence, we have no exit polls.

It's pointless to try to reason with the sort of right wing pin/ditto-heads showing up here to spew their rabid froth. Just enjoy their misery!

Half the joy of seeing Bill Clinton win two terms was watching the righties chewing at their own flesh in frustration. In fact, that's a big part of the reason I'm supporting Hillary (along with the fact I just plain don't think Obama's quite ready yet); because the Repugnatans hate her so badly many of their heads will probably explode from apoplexy.

Bottom line is that socialism turns prosperous nations into cesspools. There are very few people who would work if you offered them free housing, free food, and free healthcare instead. The US is now at a crossroads. We can continue on the path that has made us the most prosperous nation in history, or we can go down the dark road to socialist squalor. If you want the latter, vote Obama.

Posted by: Avenger | May 19, 2008 2:15 AM

Just think...with Obama president, the house and senate can get more down then they did the past two years.

Where was the stock market when Pelosi and Dirty Harry took over?

The price of gasoline is up over 70% since the Democracts took office.

I remember when the Dems were complaining that the price of oil was up to $40 a barrel.

The price of food has risen since the Dems took over congress.

Just wait until B.O. becomes president, then the house and senate can screw us even more.

I'm from Illinois...I know who this man is....I know what his, ahem, "positions" are...whenever he cares to divulge them. This man is nothing...just a ball of charisma.

I will not vote for this man. I'm not afraid of him, I don't personally dislike him...but do not agree with him.

Face it...there are no leaders in this country. There is no one good enough to be President of the US.

So what? In Pennsyvannia Obama held a rally where 35,000 people attended just a couple of days before that voting Tuesday - So what? He lost there by 200,000 votes!

Now Hillary got 10 delegates with that 200,000 vote gain.

While Obama got 13 delegates with the 13,000 vote gain in Idaho.

What is Obama good at? Manipulating the system. So what?

Obama will not even have a SMALL town hall meeting in Portland Oregon to allow a one-on-one because he doesn't like to answer questions - he would have to have answers which he does not. So what? See for yourself:

Don't get too excited about how many people come to some of these rallies, that does not always translate to votes. Usually the estimated numbers are always inflated and many people are bussed in to make an added media effect. Don't forget its the weekend. Also a good wide angle camera can make an area appear larger looking than the naked eye can see. Examining the layout of the land, the site looks like its in a bowl bordered by water and trees. The area looks no larger than a couple hundred yards. Inflated numbers and good camera work. Nevertheless, good work at organizing by BO's staff.

Posted by: Dano | May 19, 2008 1:22 AM
********************
The numbers are REALLY inflated. Notice the building with the chimneys? That is the Riverplace Hotel (www.riverplacehotel.com)
How do I know? I worked across the street for 15 years.. The area is 2 blocks long by 1/2 block wide. I don't think 75,000 people can get into that space at all. Now, there is a map of this area at
http://www.savvyonthego.com/detail.php?p=15&id=881&hist=3
The hotel is where the 'A' is on the map; and the crowd is between it and the Hawthorne Bridge. You didn't see the Hawthorne Bridge in this picture did you?

KGW gave a half hour Town Hall meeting for each candidate on Friday night, but Obama said "No", so KGW gave Hillary the full hour. A lot of people in Oregon don't like nuclear energy - they were delighted when Trojan Nuclear Plant was imploded a few years ago. Also, Obama voted FOR the Cheney Energy plan which will put a liquefied gas line down the beautiful Oregon Coast. And, Obama doesn't support the Timber Revenue program for Oregon. He was afraid he would get questions on these at a town hall and end up losing Oregon this Tuesday. Hopefully he will - lose Oregon this Tuesday.

Its obvious why there are so many wacko "hate Obama" posters here.

Once Rove saw all those folks attending an Obama rally they had to prove they were numerous too, even if all they can do is spew hate, and incoherent remarks that demonstrate they don't have anything intelligent to say.

Just more examples of republicans, who are unable to do anything other than bear false witness. Its good they are taking the low road, so they will be able to get to where they are going quicker. We can only pray for their souls.

Its obvious they are upset by the fact that the picture speaks for itself and makes it abundantly clear for ANYONE to see that Obama CAN bring Americans together.

Of course to Turdblossom and his little paid army of turdletts and other dodo heads, the majority of Americans are just a bunch of pot smoking muslims who are out to socialize the world. One can only laugh at these loosers and observe how out of touch with reality they have become.

My favorite is the one that says:

"That's the scary part, he will sell this amazing land to the muslims"

This is funny considering McSameOLD and Bush have spent the last 7 years doing all they they were asked by the Saudi Royal family:

1) bin Ladens need to leave country fast, no problem.

2) keep the Sauid bin Laden safe - no problem

3) let oil prices go to $150 / barrel - no problem

4) Sunni muslims need to be armed against Shia - no problem

5) Sadam needs to be armed against Iran - no problem

6) Saudis buy up corporate America - no problem

7) Saudis ask US to be tough on potential rival Iran - no problem.

8) Saudis invest in solar technologies while McCane and McBush sit on their hands and push more dependence on foreign oil - no problem.

Its almost as funny as thinking how right all those Bush supporters were back in 1999, when Bush campaigned aruging that with all his connections, Bush would be able to be pursuasive with the Saudis.
Bush Middle East policy isn't pro-Saudi, it is Saudi Policy.

I'm so greatful that just recently he was able to talk them into major price reductions. Believe that and you problably also think McSameOLD isn't showing any signs of senility.

He's already said the capital gains tax will be increased from 15% to around 30%. He is in favor of a bill that supports giving the UN 1% of our GNP, 1%! Do you even have an idea of how much that is? And guess who is going to be taxed to pay for it???

There is obviously a lot of fear/ignorance that is being reflected in the comments on this board. So few people say anything of any substance. Citing Obama's record is certainly a valid concern, but doesn't Hillary have the same lack of a record? McCain has a record but is that the path we want to go down. FDR and Harry Truman did not have that much experience before they became President. Same with Teddy Roosevelt.

A total of 10 internment camps were created under direction of the WRA, ... Executive Order 9742, signed by President Harry S. Truman on 26 June 1946. Horrible. First of all, the decision to drop the bomb had already been made; but, if you want to give him credit for that, so be it. He decimated our military starting in 1945 then wanted to use it in 1950. Many of the first soldiers and Marines in Korea didn't even have ammo rounds for their clips. MIGs had a field day, blowing our antiquated B-29's out of the sky like shooting fish in a barrel. This guy was the godfather and originator of the "no-win policy". His bumbling also served to cause a recession by the time he was kicked out on his rump. There's your Democrat Harry S. Truman

1. If you don't know what Sen. Obama stands for, you haven't checked out his website. Unless you don't want to use that rock on your shoulders.

2. Sen. Obama has far less support from Lobbyists than McCain.

3. His campaign has been way more consistent in message than McCain's.

4. Sen. Obama's campaign was run very well. He obviously can put a successful team together and with the public's support, he'll do the same in the White House.

5. His priority to fight bin-laden and not Iraq shows leadership, judgement and knowledge.

6. His tax breaks are for the average person, not the wealthy - which includes the MSM who we 'love and trust'.

7. People can now reference information from the internet rather than rely on the mainstream media who are run the a certain segment of the Republican party. Knowledge is power.

Wow...I knew Portland was overwhelmingly behind Obama, but I'm still surprised! Kerry, in '04, got a crowd around 30-50,000 in the same spot, and *that* seemed huge. On top of that, I know there were many more people who would have been there if they could have(like my aunt recovering from surgery), or who didn't even hear about it til after the fact-like ME(I rarely watch TV).

And, I really wish I hadn't read many of those comments below. Not because they were against "my" candidate(I'm always willing to hear reasonable criticism), but because they insulted my intelligence, and made me feel a bit of despair(you know, the opposite of hope)about my fellow humans. Fortunately, there seems to be multiple posts by one person under different names(maybe even including the nutty Hillary supporter-seems to follow the same M.O.).

So, a few nutjobs commenting here vs. a city-sized crowd supporting an inspiring, intelligent candidate with integrity and good values? Guess I should feel hopeful after all!

(BTW, in case that nutty Hillary supporter was for real...her latest appearance in our city was not in the heart of P-town, but in the same sort of suburban vicinity that Bush would appear! Apparently she's learned from the times she's been heckled and booed by Portlanders before...much like Bush. Tell you anything?)

These results mean nothing, because Oregon has so many more that are wealthy, or hard working Americans to sit back and elect a Muslim Barak Hussein OSAMA that sadly HIlary will probably win. Then off to the races...and then hopefully if the country knows whats best will Elect a good conservative president...

People need to wake up, look inside themselves and stop being mean spirited. It gets you nowhere. In fact, it makes things worse and spreads like bird flu in a crowded China subway.

This isn't meant as an Obama endorsement. People love Obama because he represents a sliver of hope for people to unite & USA society in general to stop being so angry, easily upset, selfish, me first. If those things which pervade our culture do not change soon, they will spell the end of us.

As a 50-year resident of the state of Oregon (ora-gone to those in the east) I have to agree with RAT-The; this is a very backward and left leaning state. This is particularly true of the urban cesspool near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. As is frequently the case on the left coast, silly dupes fall for style because they lack the attention span to comprehend substance. In other words this is prime Obama country.

This is what the line at the clinic will look like under "Obama care". For the idiots who speak of the past 8 years being the worst in America, just remember what you said if Obama is elected. Also realize that Bush has been extremely liberal in his last term, increasing the size of the government by more than 20%, letting illegals run wild. What's Obama's plan? - legalize the illegals, invite more here, and possibly double the size of the government; and then, somehow convince the employers of America to pay for it? I think it might be a good thing for America, 4 years of hell under Obama will cause quite a backlash and we just might be able to get back on track by cutting the government in half and eliminating hand-outs for those (majority) not in need.Sounds refreshing - sign me up.

To those on these posts that think Obama's idea to retreat from Iraq is so great or think that Bush "lied" about WMDs.

The simple truth is, had Saddam adhered to UN resolution 1441 the US would not have invaded Iraq. Documents secured from Saddam now show that Saddam had every intention of restarting his WMD program as he did not think the US would invade him. So sooner or later, the world would have had to face up to the immediate threat Saddam posed to the world. Post 9/11, the US decided it would not wait and be attacked by a known enemy of the West . An enemy who cheered 9/11 , provided aid to Hamas , and who every intelligence agency reported had WMDs. Thus Iraq was invaded. In my opinion, if Saddam was still in power the West would now be facing BOTH Iraq and Iran racing to develop nuclear weapons. Also, Iran and Iraq most probably would be working with Al Qaeda to plot or actually carry out more attacks against the West.

The facts on the ground now in Iraq are that Al Qaeda is there and if the USA retreats and turns Iraq over to them, Al Qaeda will have access to Iraq's large oil reserves and thus the means and opportunity to attack us and attack us hard. Our Middle Eastern allies will abandon us and hook up with Al Queda, not to mention the boost a withdrawal from Iraq will give to Iran, Syria and Hamas. Think WWIII, A lot of people on these posts seem think the worse of the USA, again as embodied in the anti-American sermons of Rev. Wright. Further, they scoff at the threat Al Qaeda and the rest of their ilk poses to the security of the US and future of the Western World. I say stop thinking the worse of America and save a little of your vitriol for our true enemies. If Obama or Clinton are elected their defeatist policies will put us all at more risk of another 9/11 attack and even worse the blow up the middle east which will mean more will die, just like what happened in WWII when people thought Hitler could be appeased and were wrong, very wrong.

Obama's favorable numbers are down.

Obama's unfavorable number are up.

NOW HERE'S THE KICKER:

PLEDGED DELEGATES OVERSTATE OBAMA'S STRENGTH! Why? NOT ALL PLEDGED DELEGATES ARE EQUAL!!!

Obama got most of his pledge delegates in small state caucaus' that he manipulated with Hillary Haters - now, fine, all you Obama supporters who don't like what I just said then fine - listen to just the facts:

In Idaho, Obama won the caucaus (a very small group of party leaders who pick a candidate) by 13,000 votes and received 13 pledged delegates - sounds good, huh?

In Pennsylvania, Hillary won the primary (actual voting by the people) by 200,000 votes and received 10 pledged delegates - sounds unfair, huh?

See complete review in WSJ: Obama's Strategy for Low-Turnout Caucuses Helps Drive Delegate Edge, May 15, 2008; Page A6.

So, Obama received more math by winning a small state caucaus than Hillary did by winning a big state primary!

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I WILL FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL, TILL THE LAST DOG DIES, AND ANY AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT SAYS I WILL FIGHT FOR REAL DEMOCRACY AND NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER ACCEPT OBAMA!

Obama can't win the big states.

Obama can't win the big states.

Hillary has already won the big states.

Hillary has already won the swing states.

Hillary is the real winner and Hillary will be our President.

This is the real truth about the young Senator from Illinois: the more this veil about his past is lifted, the greater the chances are that many voters will turn away from him in revulsion. Except those rubes, of course, who "cling" to views that reflect their naiveté, inexperience, and lack of sophistication.

This discussion clearly shows that no political candidate can create unity in this country. Our nation is and will forever be a country profoundly and irrevocably divided. No matter who wins, he will be loathed, attacked, and damned. I feel sorry for the winner - it is no honor to be a president - it is a curse. Let's not kid ourselves - disunity is our nation's destiny - each side hates the other and no one - not even Christ - can unite us as brothers and sisters. There will only be unity in heaven - not on earth.

"Yes we can" what does that mean you mindless Obama supporter. Name one just one Obama accomplishment other than the below:
Obama's Resume:
Experience:
Obama's accomplishments in the state Senate for 6 years was zero. Obama spent his time getting into the good graces of people like Rezko and Ayres in order to financially benefit his future in politics. When Obama asked Emil Jones to make him a federal Senator than Obama started to show some accomplishments. However, those accomplishments included Emil Jones, President of the Illinois state Senate, appointing Obama the head of every piece of high-profile legislation in sight to pad his resume. Jones aside all the senior state senators who had been working on bills for years and gave the credit to Obama by naming Obama as sponsor. Bottom line after six years of doing nothing in the Obama's 7th and final year as a state Senator, his record went from zero accomplishments to being falsely credited for the sponsorship of 26 passed bills. None of which Obama worked on or fought for!
This is what Obama is doing in the US Senate as well, look at his record, it is zero. Except of course, when it comes to getting earmarks for his wife's employer passed for the University of Chicago Hospitals, where Michelle Obama was vice president of community affairs. Michelle had already benefited ... Senate to $316,962 in 2005 just after he took office.
Obama's associations:
Here's a quick run-down of some of Barack Obama's questionable and disturbing associations:
* Rabidly anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi. The Obamas were regular dinner guests at Khalidi's Hyde Park home for years.
* Terrorist sympathizer Ali Abunimah, who runs the viciously anti-Israel web site Electronic Intifada.
* Unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
* Reverend Jeremiah Wright. What more needs to be said?
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Samantha Power -- fired after calling Hillary Clinton a "monster."
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Robert Malley -- fired when it was revealed he has been holding talks with Hamas.
* Hatem El-Hady, former official of the Hamas-linked charity Kindhearts, closed by the Justice Department. El-Hady's web page--with Michelle Obama listed as an opt-in "friend"--suddenly vanished from the Obama campaign site with no explanation, after being exposed by LGF and others.
* Tony Rezko -- a Chicago fixer currently in a whole lot of legal trouble.
*Raila Odinga, who recently ran for president in Kenya, promising to impose Sharia law if elected.

Like the Soviet show trials during their 1930s purges, Obama's speech was not supposed to convince critics but to reassure supporters and fellow-travelers, in order to keep the "useful idiots" useful.

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2008/03/19/obamas_speech?page=full


The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American "progressives" in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on "the left" and who is on "the right." It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

Barack Obama will be the President of the United States so lets start prioritizing the issues so we can make significant progress in the next four years. We all don't have to agree on every issue, let's figure out the best possible plan for the future of this country together. Life is never going to be perfect, so why don't we let God decide the fate of our country and focus on treating each other with love and respect, instead of thinking we can solve every problem. I certainly don't agree with Obama on every issue especially his economic policy but war is the most serious issue a country will ever face and I believe his foreign policy approach of engaging the leadership of hostile countries and publically denouncing and excoriating them in public and infiltrating their societies through our free market system, ie foreign workers, products and ideas, is the only way to influence their people into rejecting religious, totalitarian and communist governments. Unless Americans are willing to be killed by terrorists, rather than kill one innocent person in the war on terror then we will never have peace. Proverbs 16:7, "When the ways of man please the Lord he will convert even his enemies to peace."

To the Pollyannish Catherine Mc:

Shame on you for trivializing the Creation and its Creator. Did not God create every plant and tree, bearing fruit after their own kind? Did not God create the fish, the fowl in the air, the beasts of the field and all creeping things that bore after their own kind?

Sadness, that the Kumbaya Generation has turned the Lord God Almighty (Yahweh Elohim), Lord of Hosts, the Great I Am into a personal psychotherapist whose only duty is to lavish attention and love on his customer!

A Christian pastor's wife, unacquainted with the Wrath of God on the unelect, with the Wrath of Jesus of Nazareth on those that defiled the Temple, who said "Let the Dead Bury the Dead" and "I come not to unite but to divide" Shame!

Shame too to the Agitation Propaganda specialist of the Comintern for daring to present the red herring distraction that the USSR was about taxes. TAXES! The Tsar spins in his unmarked grave.

The USSR, the Bolsheviks, used fear, intimidation, of arrest, of murder, of "disappearance" to intimidate, to cow, to silence all that would oppose Lenin and Stalin. Punishment was terrible ans swift - and often preemptive.

To America's "Left" - you have already begun to emulate your master, Josef Stalin, so far as is possible against a fully armed nation of Free Men.

But should the day come when you, somehow with the knowing grin of the Evil One, disarm the Remnant, you too will use fear, intimidation, of arrest, of murder, of "disappearance" to intimidate, to cow, to silence all that would oppose ... you.

And this, ye Sons of the American Revolution, is why that day must never come to pass! Fight today for your freedom and for your children's freedom and for your children's children's freedom. This is the time, now is the place. Should the undeserving New Class prevail it will be the effective end of all we knew and our posterity will live as slaves.

God forbid we become the "United States of South Africa".

Don't get too excited about how many people come to some of these rallies, that does not always translate to votes. Usually the estimated numbers are always inflated and many people are bussed in to make an added media effect. Don't forget its the weekend. Also a good wide angle camera can make an area appear larger looking than the naked eye can see. Examining the layout of the land, the site looks like its in a bowl bordered by water and trees. The area looks no larger than a couple hundred yards. Inflated numbers and good camera work. Nevertheless, good work at organizing by BO's staff.

Is it really worth the time trying to reason with people comparing Obama to Hitler and the antichrist? He is a young, ambitious American with nearly identical policy ideas as Hillary, and one who has worked hand-in-hand on with McCain on legislation in the senate. Surely Hillary and McCain wouldn't be foolish enough to share ideas and create policy initiatives with the next antichrist?

Michelle had already benefited ... Senate to $316,962 in 2005 just after he took office.
Obama's associations:
Here's a quick run-down of some of Barack Obama's questionable and disturbing associations:
* Rabidly anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi. The Obamas were regular dinner guests at Khalidi's Hyde Park home for years.
* Terrorist sympathizer Ali Abunimah, who runs the viciously anti-Israel web site Electronic Intifada.
* Unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
* Reverend Jeremiah Wright. What more needs to be said?
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Samantha Power -- fired after calling Hillary Clinton a "monster."
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Robert Malley -- fired when it was revealed he has been holding talks with Hamas.
* Hatem El-Hady, former official of the Hamas-linked charity Kindhearts, closed by the Justice Department. El-Hady's web page--with Michelle Obama listed as an opt-in "friend"--suddenly vanished from the Obama campaign site with no explanation, after being exposed by LGF and others.
* Tony Rezko -- a Chicago fixer currently in a whole lot of legal trouble.
*Raila Odinga, who recently ran for president in Kenya, promising to impose Sharia law if elected.

Sadly, the party that brought us Abraham Lincoln has been hijacked by a criminal mafia. Its incredible that so many millions of Christians are blind to the sheer corruptness of their purported leaders.

Thou shalt not steal, Hallburton.
Thou shalt not lie, President Bush.
Thou shalt not kill, Mr. Vice President.
Thou shalt not covet thine neighbors oil.
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Representative Foley, Senator Craig.
Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain, Reverend Hagee.
Thou shalt not bear false witness, General Powell.

But the American people are finally waking up and opening their eyes. We are not as stupid as these bastards think we are. Their Fox brainwashing machine is no longer functioning correctly.

Let's hope they aren't able to steal this election too. Lets hope they don't stage another false flag attack to terrorize us into submission. And dear Lord, please watch over brother Barrack. We cant afford another sacrifice like Jack's, and Bobby's, and Martin's, and Malcom's.

And lets hope that the truly honest and patriotic conservative Republicans who actually want to conserve our Republic, like Dr. Paul, are able to gain control of the GOP, or that it dissolves away into the darkness, like a bad dream.

God help us! God bless America.

Yes, some of the kids are more excited than someone in my cynical middle age can ever get about a politician. That's youth. And you don't win big elections with boring candidates.

I hope my fellow Obama supporters will reach out to Clinton backers and the majority of Republicans who are decent, thoughtful people. If this is gonna be a transformational election, we gotta put away the raised middle fingers and taunts. Keep it positive and the ranters will exhaust themselves.

As a minister's wife who just came to read the article, I cannot believe what I am reading. God doesn't like ugly, and a lot of what I see hear is very, very ugly. Melanin in one's skin is not something one chooses. To be bigoted against an individual simply because of it is not Christian. It is not Mr. Obama who appears to hate, it appears to be those who have always enjoyed the privilege that the lack of melanin has gifted them. The prejudiced people that are posting here are not true Christians, and are not real patriots of this country. They must be the cowards who have not enough depth to realize that melanin and character have little to do with each other. America does not represent one race only, and certainly it does not stand for racism and pure unadulterated bigotry. I cry for my children if this is the world that they have to look forward to. Bigots are minions of the devil, and at the end, they shall pay. The people talking of such hate and applying it to Sen. Obama and his supporters should move to another country. They do not belong among us. They are the scourge of the earth. God will judge them harshly, although they may not be believers. Praise be to God, and deliver us from these evil hateful selfish and immoral people, amen.

Communist of the Soviet variety believed in centralization of all economic activity.

No candidate is even remotely advocating that in this election cycle.

Instead we have people whining about returning the top marginal tax rate to 38-39 percent, which is still well below the historic tax rate for the top bracket since the Great Depression.

e.g.
1932-1935 -- 63 percent of income
1936-1939 -- 79 percent
1940-1943 -- 81 to 88 percent
1944-1963 -- high 80s to low 90s
1964 -- 77 percent
1965-1980 -- 70 percent
1981-1986 -- 50 percent
1987 -- 38 percent
1988-1990 -- 28 percent (pre-Great Depression levels)
1991-1992 -- 32 percent
1993-2001 -- 39 percent
2001-present -- 35 percent

Instead we're running up record deficits and have doubled the national debt in 8 short years -- it's up to $9.3 trillion this election cycle with another $2 trillion on the books in connection with out-year Iraq War spending (e.g. veterans health care costs, replacement costs for damaged equipment, ongoing occupation costs) -- plus money connected to Medicare prescription D -- a major handout to the pharmaceutical lobby which will drop a nasty hit on the budget starting in 2012.

We have a candidate this election cycle talking about $5 trillion worth of tax cuts over the next 10 years who wants to ramp up military spending to Cold War levels -- which effectively means we're looking at something on the order of $18 trillion dumped on the next several generations.

Rather than throwing around the Commie label, some idiots need to go back to school and learn some basic addition. Almost 90 percent of our current debts have come under so-called "fiscal conservatives" who give tax-cuts and tax-loopholes to the ultra rich while running military spending throw the roof.

The Nazis had private industry and low taxes for the rich too. I don't think that's a model that the the U.S. should be following. Today's GOP though wants to take the U.S. down that path. They can convince uneducated idiots who never learned basic addition in elementary school.

Fortunately, many Americans come from families that made education a priority -- and understand exactly the kind of game that's being played by the ideologues over at places like Townhall. The can see through the flimsy claims of people whose livelihoods depend on handouts from well-heeled GOP sugar-daddies.

If 75,000 plus Americans take a beautiful Sunday afternoon off from swimming at the beach or barbecuing in the back yard with their kids and trudge off to downtown Portland, stand in line for hours in the heat to listen to a man speak about his vision for America then I'd say that man has a very good vision. I'm Canadian and I've never in my life seen so much interest and involvement in the politics of America than I'm seeing now.

John F. Kennedy was a great leader and Orator and the kind of president the country was proud of. and from what I've seen and heard from Senator Obama they are cut from the same cloth.

Reading the junk that some people put in here is astounding, they must have bots doing it as the same comments appear verbatim in other publications complete with spelling mistakes. So don't let the idiots get to you, they know not of which they speak and will see the light one day.

Congratulations to the people of Oregon for getting so involved and supporting who is obviously their choice for President of the United States.

Ova-ma is a thoroughly-confused but-expert-in mass-psychology thing.

Supposedly he's a "liberal" with left wings inclinations. But he said that the best economical/political years in America were the Ronald Regan years.

He says he's against the death penalty, but only if it applies to blacks. He said he's in favor of the death penalty if it is to be applied to child rapist or other "hideous" crimes. I assume he means as long the crimes were committed by whites.

He really is confused about his race. He wants to be a black separatist but at the same time he hates poor blacks. He hates his grandma and whites but wants to be with whites. He's elitist and so is Michelle-next-first-female-president Ova-ma.

This personality confusion is similar to Hitler's. Read Hitler's biography.

So like Hitler, his confusion leads Ova-ma to overcompensate. He developed an excellent ability to read cultural needs and movements.
Ergo, the effective use of self-help lingo and religious babble. But his confusion will be the driving force of his actions and political decisions.

God save us from this lunatic.

I have great sorrow for my fellow men/women that see Mr. Barak Hussein Obama as anything but a liberal facist thug.

This man's agenda is to reduce our freedoms, confiscate our private property, endanger our sovereignty/ national defense, and increase dis-unity.

His Agenda:
Reduce freedoms: impose vast new regulations and laws upon all Americans; laws supposedly for the "environment" which will limit our "use" private property rights and cause it to be much more expensive to pursue our "aquire" private property rights. As nasty as these infringements are, they are minor compared to the vast infringement on the right to life on the unborn.

Private property confiscation: Already the combined annual government take of a individual's earnings can easily exceed 50% of total gross earnings of a reasonably (not wildly) sucessful person. Consider:
A two-income household of two young professionals each of whom sacrificed greatly to become moderately successful, now earning a combined income of around $200K annually, there direct tax bite:
Local property tax on a modest $300,000 home: about 3.5% of income;
Effective state income tax: 3.0%;
Effective state sales tax: 2.0%;
Required state licenses/fees: 1.0%;
Effective FICA witholdings taxes: 14%;
Effective Federal Income Taxes: 25%;
State and Federal gasoline taxes: 1.5%;
Utilities and postage fees: 1%;
Airtravel fees: 1%;
In total this couple pays 52% of total annual compensation to directly to government each year. In addition, the couple also absorbs untold thousands of dollars each year because of government regulations; and to top it all off when they die they will likely pass on a significant portion on to government's in the form of death taxes. This is not freedom-- it is serfdom, and it is what Mr. Obama wishes to excerbate with his Big government socialism.

Already, the top-20% of income earners pay over 80% of total federal income taxes; the bottom 50% pay essential 0%. We are seriously risking killing the golden goose...or worse...revolution!

We do not become richer by making others poorer.

A Question Put to the Men and Women of the Armed Services of the United States:

Are you willing to give your life for a population - not "a people" mind you, certainly not a "nation" both of which are terms for blood ties beyond family, tribe and clan - for a population that despises you and all that you and your forefathers have done?

Are you willing to die so that homosexuals might "marry" and that an African/European halfbreed may be elevated to the presidency to assuage the guilt of those who feel their immense blessings, as Americans, are unwarranted and perhaps wicked?

GOD FORBID! This legal incorporated fiction, doing business as the United States of America is no longer the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. It is the remnants of a picnic, overrun by ants and flies picking at the crumbs left behind in the weeds.

Do not sacrifice your lives for this - it is Obamination. Do not leave your children fatherless or unborn.

For those Losers of Life's Lottery, who see the Winning Ticket of Barack Hussein Barama in their sweaty, shaking hands I ask you this:

Who will care for you when the last White Devil has died and the last self-hating White has killed his DNA in an act of orgasmic destruction?

History shows us that your peoples, no matter the age nor the country, are incompetent to the task of civilization.

Grieve for yourselves, you fools! You bring about your own destruction yet are too intoxicated, too delerious with visions of revenge, to see.

The de-Neoconization of America has already begun! God Bless Barack Obama, God Bless the USA!

Posted by: Juan in Maui | May 19, 2008 12:59 AM

Barack's campaign is just a modified version of Bill Clinton's first campaign - "I can feel your pain". But Barack says "together, me and you can feel you pain, we can do this people, if you just give me your support I can feel your pain".

Like pigs lathered up to a trough, these kids are hungry for something in their life. Barack Obama is the farmer who strolls out to the pen exciting the pigs, 'squeel, snort, squeel'. He's got a bucket of words, and man these are good words today. Here he comes with his bucket of words, get ready!

All these kids and naive imature adults with hippie leaning ideals are being led around like circus poodles. Embarrassing.

Just as Bill Clinton represented passing the torch from the Nixon generation to the Crosby, Stills & Nash generation, so too does Barack Obama represent passing the torch form the Ted Kennedy generation to the Conan Obrien generation.

So Barack Obama is the same way, but only for the victim preachers who used the religion of victim status to grow government programs and their power. Barack Obama is in effect an immigrant, he is half Muslim, he is half black...what more do you need to know - hired.

Now this protection status allows not the Clintons to unleash their only style of politics which is to destroy. They are hand cuffed and watching their dreams float down the lazy river on a party house boat with relaxed patrons sipping wine with Obama.

The movement was never about where you were going, its about how you felt while getting there. Like a group of people being high on drugs on their way to reform school. Its not about GPS man, its about LSD, its the trip, not the destination you need to concern yourself with.

While Bill Clinton put a smile on the Left's anti Christian hippie jihad, this guy goes one better and offers you oxycotton. He is a relaxing soothing political date rape drug. And the dealer network is already in place - the mainstream media.

"Don't be square, vote for Obama"

"Senator McCain said let's give everybody a gas tax holiday but doesn't want to pay for it. I think I've got the best plan. Let the oil companies pay it out of their excess profits," - Barak Obama.

Since profit is the difference between cost and price, I guess Obama thinks we should all sell products at cost only.

Big oil gets .09 per gallon. The government takes .42 per gallon. Who is making excess profits?

Obama is a total sham. Just because he uses the empty "change" mantra 50 times in every speech doesn't mean he has any clue on how to "change" anything for the better. In fact, I think that if you actually work for a living your life is going to get a helluva lot tougher if he manages to get elected.

Dear May:
Don't worry, McSame doesn't stand a chance. I say that as a libertarian-leaning GOP voter who won't vote for McLame under any circumstances, because I have a serious allergic reaction against too-old, senile, arrogant, abrasive and manipulative wattle-necked socialists pretending to be GOP "conservatives". I'd vote for Obama first.
The GOP doesn't have a ticket that can beat Obama-Edwards. I hope McCain picks Lindsey "The RINO" Graham so the RINOs will go down to landslide defeat and a resurgence of libertarianism.
The biggest thing against McCain is that it's impossible for any sane person to imagine his lifeless, plastic-perfect, Steppford Wife, Cindy, as first lady. Michelle Obama, as lame as she is philosophically, comes of as vigorous, alive and real -- and absolutely kicks Cindy's butt!

Barack Obama's own account of his life shows that he consciously sought out people on the far left fringe. In college, "I chose my friends carefully," he said in his first book, "Dreams From My Father."

These friends included "Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets" -- in Obama's own words -- as well as the "more politically active black students." He later visited a former member of the terrorist Weatherman underground, http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808
who endorsed him when he ran for state senator.

Aren't the members of OPEC on the same planet? Chavez and China drill 50 miles off the coast of Florida. Where are the Radical Environmentalists? Why aren't you saying anything to your friend Chavez? Tell him to stop drilling.

This board is truly pathetic and reflects why we are becoming a second class country. We have the "liberal elites" making ridiculous statements like Bush is the worst president ever (pretty strong statement given the lack of facts and context) and criticizing Nascar (happens to be the 2nd most attended sporting event) and John deere as symbols of redneckness. John deere happens to be one of the 500 largets companies in America valued at more than $50 billion and their equipment is largely responsible for producing and harvesting our food.
ironically, i though Obama was running on a platform of being a uniter and Democrats were the party of inclusion. Many of you come across as ranting lunatics who think all republicans have been brainwashed by Rush yet are so brainwashed yourself that you just throw out the factually incorrect or flat out stupid statements like bush went to war for oil or that your civil liberties are being shredded with zero proof to back up these statements. You also are spoiled, whiny condescending elitist snobs towards clinton supporters who you morons will need to embrace to beat mccain.

On the other hand- there are obviously ignorant racists on the board who seem to keep calling Obama a muslim, which if you paid any attention to the news in the past 3 months you would have noticed he has a small problem with his CHURCH. His skin color is not relevant either so stop bringing it up. Calling him a homo or spending 10 minutes drawing a midlle finger does make one wonder about our education system. Stupid comments like calling him osama make you equally as ignorant as those making grandiose and factually ignorant and wrong comments about Bush. Bush is not the worst president ever and obama is not a freakin muslim.
This is why this country is going down the toilet-not because of bush or congress but because most americans (republican and democrat) have become so consumed with hate that they have lost all sense of reality. Pick up a goddamn paper or watch something besides american idol, the bachelor or MTV for crying out loud. try reading the paper and understand the issue and quit proving to the world how lazy and ignorant we have become.

There is nothing wrong with being rich-why the helll do you think so many people want to come here. Stop saying bush lied - EVERYONE, including most senior dems believed Hussein had WMD and was a threat. 6 million Jews died because America did not see the need to stop a crazed dictator.

For those who think Obama represents change do some research. He has VERY questionable relationships with corrupt individuals in Chicago (soon to be convicted Tony rezko) - spent 20 years in a church listening to, involving his family with and bring onto his campaign (later pushed out) a man who thinks Louis Farrakan is a great american, spews anti american and anti semetic lies (even Oprah found his hatred to be over the top and quit years ago); associated with a known domestic terrorist who is pictured in the national press after 9/11 stomping on an american flag and does not regret killing people, publicly endorsed Mayor Daley, Rod Blagoivich (IL guv, probably soon to be indicted and would be recalled from office if his fellow democrats had not blocked a vote allowing us the opportunity) and Todd Stroger, Cook county President who illegally assumed the position from his incapacitated father and voted to raise our city sales tax to 10.25% and has thousands of friends and family in highly paid jobs with questionable experience.

Also, Obama recently approved a multi million dollar pork barrel ear mark for the university of chicago right after his wife got promoted theer to a $300,000 + job from less than $200,000 before he became Senator.

If you want to vote for him that is your free choice but dont blindly think he is all that special and different. He's a politician and they all suck.

Willing to have a serious debate if anyone actually wants to keep out the hyperbole and racist comments.

Obama's 'Pastor', Mr. Wright is completely dependant on white people. His identity, his personality, if you take white people away he evaporates as a person...he wouldn't even know who he was.

It is ironic. Here is someone extolling the virtues of Black Separation Theology, which is black separatism. Yet he can not abstain himself from flirting with whites in general, it's what gets him off.

He is enslaved by his own spite towards whites and he doesn't even know it. Yet he crabs and moans of the food he is fed and he work he must toil.

True independence is forgoing completely the idea of that which you believe obstructs you. But he must constantly return to the house that is gabbing it up about whites to get shelter from the big bad outside world.

Liberation indeed.

The fact is, Mr Wright desperately needs white people. He is nothing without them. His whole personality and identity swings upon white people. He needs them very badly like the young boy you claims he doesn't need his mommy but when things get tough he is in her lap sucking his thumb.

True liberation is leading people away from spite, away from the prison of resentment. But that world is to big for Mr. Wright. He needs the shelter and confined space of these petty things, petty things directly tied to whites.

The fact is Mr. Wright is a throw back to a couple centuries ago. If one were to revisit history. Mr. Wright leads a band of complainers yet no one offers anything regarding the future since they have securely tethered themselves to the past.

This is cowardly.

The Democratic Presidential nominee is in the same boat with all these low character receivers of passification, the easy way out. Blame someone else.

Does Mr. Wright want to 'break free from whites' from his centuries old perspective, or does he want to tie himself as close as he can to whites in a complaining way meanwhile collecting money and boy-like attention from those who feel the same way?

But in the deeper reality, embarrassingly for him, Mr. Wright is just towing-the-line for an ALL WHITE power structure - Marxism.

A well paid pawn of whitey.

This country is no longer just for those who think they are superior; if we really want to be patriotic and love this country for what it is, then we need to accept those who are unlike us. Please think about what you're saying.

Barry Hussein is such a wuss and a weinee he will make Jimmy Carter look like Ronald Regan. I've never seen such a pantywaist in my life. Bin Laden will only have to snarl at him, and Barry will need a change of underpanties. HA! Lets send libs to combat, once the enemy has used up all of their ammo, we send in the ground troops and finish them off.

J.S. Ragmann, we love you too!

We love neo-cons; we love the fear that drives their every thought and action; we love their solipsistic, narcissistic world views, which cause them to lash out in anger, prey on others fears, and ignore facts when there is a chance they could make their point through guilt by association or worse, guilt by analogy; we love the fact that they need guidance, much like our beloved canine companions; we love the folly of their bluster when they come an interview short on the facts but bloviating and regurgitating talking points none-the-less, because after all, who needs facts?; we love how they claim superiority... right up until the time they are proven ignorant on the facts, and then they pull out the elitistlattesipingivyleaguejerkoff tag (and we REALLY love that!); we love their courage when it comes to matters of war (or in the case of Iraq, an illegal invasion and occupation) and their willingness to wage it without ever having to actually fight a battle; we love the fear we smell each time we liberals visit a blog, comment board or this news rag.

But most of all, we love the direction your party is headed, all thanks to people like you!

Love,

The Liberals

Oregon always goes democratic, so a large crowd is not surprising. What is surprising is that Oregon democrats (like their neighbors to the north) opted to back a democratic candidate that cannot win against John McCain. Its sad. Its like the folks in the Pacific Northwest aren't smart enough to understand that you've got to have a democratic candidate who can appeal to swing states (e.g., PA, MO, FL) to win a general elecdtion. Also, keep in mind that no democrat has won a presidential election without winning West Virginia since 1916. Obama received less than 1/3 of the democratic vote in West Virginia. Congratulations on your vote for Obama, Oregon! This makes you look dumber than anybody in a multistate area! Idahoans are celebrating their apparent intellectual superiority as I e-mail!!!!! Yikes.

Why is he badmouthing privatizing social security? That is what every other country is switching to because the government based program is falling apart. Would you rather pay 12% of your income to the government so you can get $400 a month after you turn 70, or put that same 12% away in a ROTH IRA, and retire at 60 with over $1 million? That is what would happen for a 20 year old making $3k a month. Denying people that opportunity is hurting the middle class. I thought he was for helping the middle class out.
I really wish the die-hard Obama fans would look at his financial policies. They are designed to hurt the economy, and when the economy hurts, it is the poor that feel it the most. Sure, big corporations make less, and the class warfare bunch feels better, but at the end of the day it doesn't HELP anybody get better off then they were before.
Look at the policies, look at the values, ignore the smile and the baby-kissing and vote based on what the candidates will do.

This blog is a delight.


It is part of the final, flatulent exhaling of the dead "conservative" movement that has made our proud and strong country weaker. A mockery of what we once were.


The entire world knows this. Do you?


The Republican party leaders were once practical people focused on solving problems. The party is unrecognizable now. They are obsessed with regulating the personal lives of people they have never met (gay marriage, etc), while our worldwide stature grows weaker and weaker. Our allies step away from us now, knowing that we have become weak. No one takes us seriously now.


We have empowered Iran, the new Middle East superpower. They have no enemies now. They laugh and thank us every day for invading Iraq.


Reagan must be somewhere looking out on the wreckage of his party and wondering what could have happened.


It is time for something different.


We can be what we once were again.


Do not be "swift boated" this time.

Huddled Masses Yearning to Breathe Free... ungrammatical yet accurate for the Peasants of Sicily and County Kilarny and Bavaria and farm laborers across the continent of Europe disgorged their unwanted huddled masses onto the shores of the Land of the Free.

Is it any wonder they felt a prfound guilt at the unearned bounty they consumed? Is it any wonder their grandchildren, still consumed by the guilt of unearned privilege, would, in an attempt to suage their guilt, give the tattered remnants of the land of the Pilgrim's Pride to the lowest forms of sentient life on God's green earth?

We see before us the spectacle of trained animals performing at the circus. It is obscene to laud Barak Hussein Obama's "vision" and "accomplishment" as it is, ipso facto, an unearned gift of the European peasantry transplanted a centruy ago to a land purchased with blood and toil and sweat and tears.

And thus it ends, ye sons of the Revolution. Not with a bang but a "whatever".

I am a bit surprised by the venom in many of these posts. If the formula is Obama = Lies the question is what does Bush equal? Has the last 8 years made us more safe? Is the country on more secure economic footing? It is baffling to me that people would think a continuation of Bush's economic and foreign policy would be good for this country. Being in debt to China and our military spread thin seems to have been the wrong approach. Also the Iraq war has been the best possible recruiting tool for our enemies beyond the loss in both lives and money. If you were personally deep in dept and had moved to a dangerous neighborhood on the recommendations of a friend would you still listen to them 8 years later?

The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American "progressives" in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on "the left" and who is on "the right." It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

Is it possible in this country to be for anything? Are we just a nation against everything we don't believe in?

I see about 10 to 20 pages of text on the comments section of this story and the vast majority of them if not overtly insulting are covertly insulting. Republicans and Democrats in this country are divided on one day of the year in most places, and that is when they go to nominate the candidate for their party. The next day they will be back at work right next to a man or woman who disagrees with ONE affiliation that they have chosen. News flash to Democrats: a large number of those kids dying in Iraq are from Republican households and their mothers aren't excited about you saying that they are dying for nothing. News flash for Republicans: Democrats don't perform abortions Doctors do. A fair number of Democrats are against abortion.
The left needs to realize that those states that make up the mass of this country and produce most of the food that we eat are going to still be here if and when the you win the entire government. They will still want their kids to grow up in a country that is moral, strong, and true to its traditions.
The right needs to realize that, unless you are in fact Muslim, not every question has a religious significance. God's only statement of a marginal tax rate involved tithing. I don't think the government asking for more or less comes down to a theological debate. Personally I prefer that they ask for less. The fact that A: a Republican was president when the depression started, and B: our current president is sitting on top of an economy that looks like it might head down hill might make you question the inherent validity of Republican claims of superior financial savvy.

I am not offering a solution or even suggesting that anyone has done anything wrong. What I would ask is that you listen to more than one source for you news. Preferably two sources from opposite view points. Barring that read what other countries are writing about us on a regular basis. You don't have to believe it, but most of the people on the left and right who aggravate me most watch or listen to one or maybe two pundits and feel that they are worldly.
You are not just voting for the future of your country. You are voting for the future of OUR country.

I think we should elect Obama for president. We would have so much power on the international stage. We can take around Obama, to Al Qaeda, and accuse Al Qaeda of being racist and find a comment they made that sounds like it could potentially have a racist tone to it. Then Al Qaeda would drop their weapons against us and loose their will to fight because people would think they are potential racists. They would buckle under the pressure.

Similarly, China, we go to the leaders with Obama and Al Sharpton, accuse the Chinese of being racist. Then China will feel the pressure then cease attacking our currency under the possibility that the world might view them as racist if they ever say anything against our new president, President Barack Obama.

There is basically nothing we couldn't accomplish. Venezuela, Chavez, if he ever said anything against Obama we could own the oil reserves from Venezuela. We would just boycott Venezuela until they give us what we want.

Narcissist-in-Chief, Al Sharpton, could share in the bully-pulpit and mobilize our entire country to boycott this or that so we can get our own way no matter what the problem.

For our oil dependency, we simply accuse scientists of being racists then they will quickly come up with a new source of energy that is clean and real cheap.

We accuse mosquitoes of being racists, guess what, no more mosquito bites in the summer.

Any problem in the world can be solved by accusing whatever the issue is of being racist. Obama, with the power of Al Sharpton could accuse cancer and heart disease of being racists and sure enough, cancer and heart disease will back down and go away.

Pakistan's nuclear weapons - racists, poof, gone. Who needs critical thinking, enginuity, and diligence?

We run up a big bill form an international lender, make some noise, point some fingers, and get a free lunch.

Oh the wizardry of racism. It would be like having Superman as president but without the kryptonite. Flying around the geo political scene protecting America with his sheild of racism. We benefit form his skin color. Lets share in his race wealth of empowerment and spend his socio-political capital.

Our problems are over. If we have a shortage of education standards in America, we accuse another country of being racist then they will send experts here to correct the problem.

We can sit back and collect favors and free stuff with this plan. I don't know why anyone hasn't thought of this before. Lets stop accusing ourselves of being racisct. There is no reason to fight amongst ourselves. Let us unit as a country and accuse other countries of being racists and we'll all benefit.

I vote that we all stand together in favor of the power of racism united for ourselves by supporting Barack Obama. Lets use his power as he is willing to share it with us. Obama for 2008.

If the Washington Post is going to allow their comments sections to be filled with racist hate speech, I wish that they would just close them down.

If Obama wasn't half-Black then you'all wouldn't have anything to cry about.

The press is dismissive of Hillary's 67% win in West Virginia - the biggest win ever in this campaign and in American history.

Now Obama crys that he didn't campaign there - yeah, he chose not to campaign much but he did go three times - the third being the Monday before election day (whoop-di-do) and he played pool in a bar commenting on how great he was at pool because he was a wasted loser for his entire youth!

I'M NOT VOTING FOR THE "WISHING & HOPING" GUY WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE, I'M VOTING FOR THE REAL DEAL. THE "DID IT & WILL DO IT AGAIN" CLINTON TEAM.

President Clinton's Record on the Economy:

In 1992, 10 million Americans were unemployed, the country faced record deficits, and poverty and welfare rolls were growing. Family incomes were losing ground to inflation and jobs were being created at the slowest rate since the Great Depression.

Clinton gave us an America that enjoyed the strongest economy ever.

Strong Economic Growth: Since President Clinton and Vice President Gore took office, economic growth has averaged 4.0 percent per year, compared to average growth of 2.8 percent during the Reagan-Bush years. The economy has grown for 116 consecutive months, the most in history.

Most New Jobs Ever Created Under a Single Administration: The economy has created more than 22.5 million jobs in less than eight years--the most jobs ever created under a single administration, and more than were created in the previous 12 years. Of the total new jobs, 20.7 million, or 92 percent, are in the private sector.

Median Family Income Up $6,000 since 1993: Economic gains have been made across the spectrum as family incomes increased for all Americans. Since 1993, real median family income has increased by $6,338, from $42,612 in 1993 to $48,950 in 1999 (in 1999 dollars).

Unemployment at Its Lowest Level in More than 30 Years: Overall unemployment has dropped to the lowest level in more than 30 years, down from 6.9 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in November 2000. The unemployment rate has been below 5 percent for 40 consecutive months.

Who called his grandmother a racist because she was a "Typical White Person"? I'm a White Person (I only mention it because you Democrats care so much about race-identification), and I want Obama to win the nomination because he's the weaker candidate, as your emails supporting him imply- if you want this Presidential race to be about RACE, go ahead, make my day! I wish it were going to be about real issues, in which case he loses anyway, for being WAY LEFT of the American mainstream.

You have the dumbest commentors of any site on the internet (except for hillaryis44). I've never seen a larger contingent of cowardly asshats in my life. They literally foam at the mouth with hate. You must be so proud.

You friendly neighborhood Obama-Lover

Posted by: janna | May 19, 2008 12:26 AM

It truly never ceases to amaze me...Eight years of the most disgraceful, appaling leadership ever seen in American politics...a "President" no one even elected...an imposter, a child like puppet who has shown no remorse or even understanding, as he runs your country staright into the ground.
Your economy is on the brink of a major collapse, TWO wars...one so vile, ill planned, and completely illegal it seems poised to plummet the entire Middle East into full blown chaos.
After all this, a leader emerges. One who can bring a level of respectability to a country that has fallen so far out of favour with the rest of the world. A crumbling superpower, diminished to a all but a shadow of its former glory...
And the majority of you have the indignity to deride him based on false pretenses and good old fashioned American prejudice. To all who say he cannot lead...to all who say he would bend to the will of rogue regimes...to all who think that for some reason a man with charisma, intelligence, heart, passion and substance can't lead your country... you haven't a clue what a leader should look like. You haven't a clue because you voted for the C student that never got enough votes, but decided he won anyways...You voted for a war criminal with no ethics or morals...

A call to arms then, to those with a sense of judgement and urgency. There is only one hope...only one man. Obama for President.
Let him save you from yourselves...
YES WE CAN.

And who has never read anything by brilliant libertarian economists such as Ludwig von Mises, Frederic Bastiat, Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, Thomas Sowell, etc?

The only thing they hate are conservatives, because conservatives disagree with them and that's too diverse for them to handle. Liberalism is the lazy man's way of life, you don't need to think, you need only to feel. If it feels right, then it is right, unless it's conservative, then it's wrong; and there's no room for discussion.

Obama: "Hi, I am multi-racial, I have magic dust inside me to heal this sucky nation, vote for me" ... what a FRAUD

This candidacy has been reduced down to an elixir to 'white guilt'. What about the leader of the free world? He mislead his own children to a hate monger blame cult. Did he get bad intelligence?

"Lets open up the dialog about race".

Have a conversation about race? Why, so I can risk loosing my job, loosing my home, having my reputation ruined and run out of town for saying the 'wrong thing'? And what would I get in return for this risk? Nothing. Thanks but no thanks.

I think what people mean when they say 'lets have a discussion about race' is 'lets give a speech to whites about how awful whites are'.

This ain't gonna play on Main street Obama...

Obama's claim that since he is part white and part black that only he knows the HEART of both black and white Americans.

So, if there is a person that is really really pale white, then they would know the heart of white Americans much better.

And if there is a black person who is very dark black, then he or she would know the heart of the black population much better. And that very dark black person could lead all blacks out of poverty.

Hmm, I guess Jesus could only lead Jews who would follow him, and no others.

Obama is not the 'jack of all races' as he claims, he is NOT part Asian or part Hispanic, or Indian, or Arabic. So Obama would not be representing these segments of the population and therefore would be discriminating against them.

He has no clue about who they are because he doesn't have part of them in him.

We'll, since the majority of this country is white wouldn't it be best to have someone who is pale white and therefore be able to serve the majority the best? Better yet an albino who would be the best choice yet and would probably preceive the majority of the populations HEART better than a Gypsy palm reader.

This albino could lead all white people to a higher destination and all the other people who have mellon in their skin would benefit indirectly.

I think we should find a man and woman who both combined would have every race in them, then commission them to have a baby then raise that baby to become President someday so we can ALL be served!!

This is the sickest election year I have ever seen. It reminds me of Hitler and his Arian race, except this is a multi-racial Bi-racial racists race elated race fest of racial tones, emotions, and drunkenness on lunacy.

Arian Marxist. Idiotic. Demonic, and just plain childish and stupid. Grow up America, you are not advancing your self or your country with all this cry baby "I need attention cause someone's feelings got hurt".

This will not advance our standard of living, our production base, our defense system, our economy, the value of the dollar, civil discourse, on and on.

This is the spoiled brat hippies from the 60's generation whining and moaning insecently about ghost manufactured issues, the past. Boring and an international embarrassment.

Lets all quit our jobs and sit in a big circle and talk about race.

Grow up America.

"If you vote for me I'll tell you a secret".

Barack Obama, a bridge backwards to the 1960's shrouded in car salesman mumbo-jumbo. If you vote for Obama we can move beyond, move beyond the present and into the past. This man has been exposed for who some of us already knew he was, a fraud and a racist.

Sorry Mr. Sorros, your man isn't gonna make it. A fender of the car Obama was trying to sell us just fell off and crashed to the ground in the middle of one of his distracting tire-kicking speeches. While smoke begins to billow from underneath the hood even as we were about to sign the bill of sale.

Now we get to be told for the next how many years that we are a racist nation because we didn't crown Obama.

Many say that the sort of talk given by Obama's pastor is normal for a black church. This is shocking to me.

This would consists of dens of doom that brainwashes the pew sitters that they can ever make it and you may as well get on with the business of hating.

Thank God I have never been exposed and tainted by one of these cults of hate and racism or I would not stand a chance, even in the greatest and most fair country that ever was.

Obama, you are the problem your children may grow up to be paranoid racists like your wife.

Jeremiah Wright, you are part of the problem that your parish never advances like they could, because you are addicted to hate and you are dealing hate and racism to them as to hate whites and hate their home. Regardless of your excuses, you are a small pathetic man and no leader.

If you hate your fellow countrymen and hate your country how could you ever expect to get ahead? Why would you burden your children with this sin?

'The Audacity of Blame'.

Mr. Wright's invective. Invective dripping with the black tar hate pumping from the devil's veins. It is in fact Mr. Wright's heart and speech that is damned. While the great America remains blessed spreading the salvation of Christ world wide to the oppressed.

Hey main stream media, has Mr. Wright hijacked a peaceful and noble religion?

I read some of these comments and I just can't believe what I am hearing. We will see what John McCain does for this country. I love to listen to neocons who think they are so smart and so well educated. Last time I looked it was the neocons who are destroying this once great country. Lets look at what the neocons have given to this country:
1) Endless war, causing death, destruction, and global hatred of the US.
2) Melting ice caps which may eventually flood Florida
3) $10,000,000,000,000 national debt; that's $200,000 for every moron who voted for Bush.

John McCain Is A Closet Homosexual:
Presidential hopeful John McCain is tangled up in a gay-murder probe as insiders ask: How much does the Republican candidate really know about the shooting death of the lobbiest at his controversial sex-palace mansion? Our blockbuster Special Report reveals shocking charges of a link between gay murder victim Ronald Old and McCain - and a private investigator's stunning claim the lobbiest was killed to silence him.

Anyone who doesn't believe in demons should be told to visit this website and read the anti-Obama comments.

Posted by: Li Judge | May 19, 2008 12:15 AM

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Barack Obama is like the prissy sissy little boy in the neighborhood.

He taunts the other kids from his second story window.

The other kids are gruff, holes in the knees of their jeans and scuffed elbows.

Obama stays up in his room. Pressed slacks and crossed legs. His
grandmother serves him chocolates. He reads books and imagines himself better than most.

Some day he intends on sharing his gift of I'm-smarter-than-you with
those who need him.

The other kids, the normal ones, are aggravated by his taunting, but
he won't come out.

He tells his grandmother that he did not in fact tease the neighbors
from his window, but that those kids are ignorant and misguided, and don't command the intellectual capacity to understand what he really meant with his comments.

His grandmother smiles responding with confirmation that she already knew that he didn't do anything wrong and that she always knew that her golden boy was smarter than everyone elsess worthless children.

As Obama's grandmother would exit his room he would often note in his memoirs that she was sadly a misguided micreant typical white woman who clung to raising someone else's kid because she didn't have enough money.

One day, Obama would meet up with the other genius of the universe, Michelle, and together they would work to show other people the errors of their ways.

Yes, even phoney water goat Oprah would get into the act and they together would secretly discuss everything thats wrong with white America.

Well, we are on the verge of being anointed with the gods of the ages who have ascended upon us to impart their glory to the masses.

No, they are not narcissistic whiny spoiled indignant self centered brats at all. They have fought the temptation of hating 'completely' this country that has pissed on them their whole lives. I mean, a billionaire and two people that have gone to the finest schools in the land with other peoples money...who can blame them.

One is a lesbian who worships herself first, and money second, the other two have succumbed to a Marxist cult for blacks known as Black Liberation Theology where hatred and Marxism is dealt.

Well, now the light of the world is shining on these super heroes, so sit back and accept the wisdom and mercy they shall bestow upon us.

Oh the glory. The glory of these self centered self absorbed brats. I wonder how they might like to go live somewhere else in the world?

I would be willing to pitch in on a one way plane ticket for the three of them.

This is all a scam being hoisted upon the public by the Marxist /socialistic media in collusion with the George Sorros wing of the Democratic party. And a large portion the dumbed-down U.S. population is lapping it up like thirsty dogs.

The Obama's cling to narcissism because their personalities and character are lacking.

The reason they are being pushed in our faces is because the Left views them as the easiest route to over take the country to remake it in their image.

The Obama's and Oprah have all been suckered into worshipping false gods, now they and the media are trying to drag us down with them.

They are certain that they are on the correct path, but they are lost.

Barack Obama was specifically targeting white people with his comments: "antipathy to people who aren't like them" and "anti-immigrant sentiment"...your saying these comments were made of minorities? Or just all people in general? Not likely. What is the demographic of small-town-America in Pennsylvania?

..."antipathy to people who aren't like them"

What if John McCain said this at a closed door meeting among conservatives?:

"You go into these large neighborhoods in Philadelphia and, like a lot of large cities in the U.S., the family structure has been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced it...And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna become functional and they have not.

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or gangs or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-snitching sentiment or anti-capitalism as a way to explain their frustrations."

Obama is a wonderful example of what our country is capable of. I hope he wins and reintroduces a new face of America to the rest of the world.

As for the negative and hateful comments on this blog, they sadden me. So many people are lost in this world, without a moral compass or sense of how America is viewed elsewhere around the globe.

They have been blinded by layer upon layer of right-wing propaganda from Fox News, talk radio, or any number of "agents of intolerance" to use Senator McCain's term.

They usually believe that the weapons of mass destruction are still hidden, that gay people are undermining our country's morals (while they drive back and forth to the mall and church in their SUVs), and that taxes are to be avoided at all cost.

Their opinion on taxes is pretty rich in light of these self-described "patriots" claiming to love their country so much. They want to enjoy all the benefits of living here, but ask them to make any kind of sacrifice and they start howling, "No new taxes!"

By the way, when is McCain going to explain how he's going to pay for our continuing presence in Iraq? And is he going to keep rotating the same troops in and out of Iraq for the next 5, 10, or 20 years?

When will the media start asking him the tough questions?

The only thing you can't see past is that he happens to be a Democrat.

He came up from nothing, and could just vote his wallet and go Republican, but this man sees past dollars and cents to right and wrong.

We have needed someone like this for A LONG time. History will review his administration as one of the best, I feel.

Just as history will judge the current occupant as one of the worst, look out Jimmy Carter, a new worst former president is on the way.

Bet anything George Bush just retires at the ranch.

At least Carter got involved after his term, especially with Habitat for Humanity, very noble man, didn't know how to delegate properly.

What Obama's call for "hope" and "change" has in store for America in his own words:


"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

Obama is an establishment demagogue. He said he thinks George Bush Sr. had a good foreign policy. WTF? Bush lied us into the first Gulf war which led to the death of over a million Iraqis and now our current war and occupation. We need a non-interventionist foreign policy, we can't afford our empire.

The real issues that matter Obama wouldn't dare speak of, his masters wouldn't let him. We are on the verge of a currency crisis because our government is spending too much money it doesn't have and making up the difference with freshly printed Federal Reserve Notes. That is why the price of everything is going up and will continue to do so. When $100 won't buy you a loaf of bread you will understand how right Ron Paul was.

An Obama presidency would exceed Jimmy Carter's failed four years in it naivete and futility. If Obama wins the election, be prepared for four years of side-splitting laughs at his attempts at "change". Once his deluded followers and the gullible mainstream media get a glimpse of his real agenda, they'll all claim that they were "misled" and "wouldn't have voted yes if they only knew then what they know now". Does any of this sound familiar? That's what the Democrats have said about the Iraq War and their affirmative votes to make war on Iraq. So history will repeat itself once again because Democrats never learn from experience.

A brief history of the "American Idol Campaign"

BHO was selected to give a speech at the last Dem Convention and wowed the crowd with his eloquence.

Plucked from the Chicago political machine, he was labeled a rising star of the Dem party by the media.

In his next appearance he is elected to a vacant Senate seat from Chicago with the full backing of the Chicago political machine and the national Dem party. Groomed as the rising star, his fortunes multiply.

Now he is blessed with a producer, director and campaign manager so that his image is polished so that all can see themselves reflected in it.

I am amazed that so many clear thinking people have fallen for this production and not looking at where this is headed.

Clearly this is the campaign of change.

This time we will be under the full influence of the new media and the old media is scrambling to be meaningful by falling for the smoke and sizzle and not looking for the meat.

The change come from the fact that popularity has become the focus and it is acheived by developing mantras instead of plans: slogans instead of answers: and accusations when confronted with questions.

I think we are in serious trouble.

Even yet, I must ask, Who will tend to the New Class when the old is dead and buried? None will care for them. They will rise up for a day or two but be cut down in their own lust which knows neither creation nor patience nor prudence nor virtue. Doth it end so, with a bang? Nay, it endeth with a "whatever".

The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American "progressives" in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on "the left" and who is on "the right." It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

But, it will not get that far! And it shouldn't!

We disparately need a President and new leaders in both houses who understand our history, current challenges and the future challenges more clearly than any of the candidates have articulated to date. The space here is too short, but here are some remarks for you to consider:

100 years ago, 80% of the US population was working hard to provide food clothing and shelter while 20% of the population was engaged in service professions, gov't service, teaching, and similar activities. A negligible fraction of our population were getting by through income transfer from those more productive than others. The absence of a large safety net was both a blessing and a curse. It resulted in strong families and an incredibly self-sufficient people who were actively engaged in caring for their family because the consequences of being lazy was obvious. The social stigma of being "on the dole" was very significant - the productivity and social mobility of the US population was nothing short of amazing. From this fertile soil, the American Dream was born, and the strongest economy in the history of the world evolved.

Fast forward to the last 60 years of the 20th century. Our country has been through a lot and many good, bad, and ugly things have come to pass. One thing for sure, we have evolved an ever-larger government and have built layer upon layers of a safety net (yet the gap between were we are and where the left-most among us think we need to be remains huge). We have reached a point where 60% of us are net beneficiaries of the incredible and ever-advancing system of income transfer and in sharp contrast to 100 years ago, only 10% of us produce food, clothing, and shelter for the rest of us. Therefore, what 90% of us do has a degree of subjectivity. We apparently do not handle leisure very well. Income transfer is not working, having 100% of our population thinking they can become white collar is wonderful politics, but is obviously not reality. We need to have a range of technical education geared to aptitude and work to restore our manufacturing base. We were able to mobilize in the two great world wars because there was something to mobilize! We have exported our ability make damn near everything to the oriental cultures who have filled our cultural void - they are now much more appreciative of the importance of science and technology, and are willing to do the same work we used to do for much lower wages. To the extent that our entire economy rests in a very fragile way upon innovation, we are quickly coming to a very very dangerous place. There are more honor students in China than there are students in the USA. China graduated 300,000 excellent engineers last year, we graduated 75,000.

None of the candidates are focusing in on the exceptionally serious situation we face over the coming decades. More income transfer (aka taxing the rich to fund goodies for the middle class) does not address the heart of the problem. Investment in the technologies of the future (including, esp energy) and seriously re-vamping the wholly inadequate K-12 education system we have are two most important directions we need to move.

Wake up America. Change will be come an empty four letter word if it does not address the most crucial issues. Our way of life is at serious risk, it is not about the left vs the right and the stupid, divisive partisan issues being ranted on here. While none of the candidates have adequately addressed these issues, in Clinton and McCain, we have individuals with credible portfolio's of significant accomplishment; they both have long records of service. Obama talks a great game, but his weak record in the Senate does not provide a basis of optimism that he can do anything other than give great speeches. There is zero legislation he has authored, and there is no record of him swaying the Senate to do anything. Where is the beef?

If Fidel Castro & Hugo Chavez showed up there or San Fran/Berkley; Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles; Palm Beach, Baltimore, NYC, San Jose, Atlanta,Trenton, Philly, Minneapolis/St.Paul, or any other left-wing leaning city -- they could gather more than 75-thousand loons.
Michael Jackson could sell strands of his hair to bigger crowds of these idiots who represent 75-thousand of 300-million legal residents of this country.
I can close my eyes and envision all of these kooks with pink spiked Mowhawk hair in leather thongs; piercings in every orfice that you can imagine giving the finger to the cameras.
How much trash did the leave behind? How much human excrement and urine did the city workers have to clean up. The media in this left-leaning brothel will never report those facts.
How could the left-wing liberal Wash.Post gush about such an insignificant crowd? I'll say it again. This is a "Union Sponsored" event. Check it out!
Every left-wing loon nut representing every left-wing loon crowd, (queers, save the trees, save the earth, pro-Communist, pro-baby killers,pro save the whales, save the pink homosexual titsi fly, pro kill the internal combustion engine (NOW), Friends of The Earth, EDF, ELF and every other un-washed, unemployed, paid-for-bussed-in rent-a-mob loser without a job would get paid $40. a day by Big Labor Unions to be there with their "professionally painted signs" to dance in this hippy mess!!
These "Rent-A-Mob" union-driven people are the same type of people who get paid cash to "faint" at Hussain rallys. You sorry supporters will reap what you sow if he is elected.
I am going to write-in-vote my own name rather than vote for any of these losers! The rest of you sheep deserve to get it up the poop shoot. This would be a second term for the worst president in modern history: Jimmy Carter.
To the rest of you ignorant little- penis crumb crunchers who sniffed at that last "Carter comment", you obviously weren't old enough to be around for the Carter Administration! Hold on to your asses and check books, because the lights are getting ready to go out.

Stand by for "Press #2 for English." It will be your way of life.

Barack is a politician. He is the front runner from the Democratic Party. While many of his ideas have merit, most Americans don't dive deep into the research. They allow themselves to feed off of the mass media and continue to "swallow" whatever is flashed in front of them. Soundbytes, and assosciations, of all the politicians are what MANY people base their opinions on. IT IS SAD BUT TRUE.

If Obama wins in 08 it will almost certainly attributed as a referendum on George Bush and to a lessor extent Barack's platform.

The Republican Party if played well has no chance to win the presidential election. From the fear mongering of 9/11, to the explosion of BIG GOVT, to wire-tapping, to the IRAG WAR, to the UNSECURE BORDERS, and the INCREASINGLY growing national debt! The list goes on and on...

We need to re-invest in America! The money is here. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. WE NEED TO INVEST IN INFRASTUCTURE. If we don't start building more schools then prisons, what does that say about our society. When did it become more important to start WARS, instead of addressing the REAL issues America. Energy, Healthcare, Education, and integration of sustainable technologies so we can COMPETE in a global marketplace in the present and the FUTURE!

I am so enjoying the desperation of the right wing freaks made so obvious by their grasping at straws to justify voting for an old man who can't remember the difference between Iran and Al Qaeda or Sunni and Shiite. Hate liberals? Move to North Korea. Not only is Obama going to be the next president, but the House and Senate will be controlled by the left. And he will likely appoint 2-3 Supreme Court Justices, assuring at least a semblance of a balanced court. Finally, some of the horrific damage inflicted by Bush and Cheney and Rove will be undone. Finally. Finally! The nightmare is almost over. And Bush will forever be known as the worst president in history.

If anybody are sceptical about how the government is run, take a look at the current catastrophe of that is the FEMA & DHS. If Bush hadn't trounched through the Iraq invasion, there would be a lot more to answer for. Turning government agencies into dysfunctional scaremongers and money drains. They're doing more work to make you feel afraid, than to actually protect from any harm.

None of the politial parties are for small government, it's just that Republicans want the _STUPID_ part of government business to be the big one, as well as DEBT to be the way to finance everything they want.

HAVE THEY STARTED SERVING THE KOOL-AID YET?


Obama Featured With Farrakhan MANY Times on Trinity's "Trumpet" magazine cover »

To this day, Barack Obama continues to insist he was shocked and surprised to discover that Reverend Jeremiah Wright had bizarre racist views.

Now Tom Blumer has discovered images of Wright's radical newsmagazine Trumpet--and look who was featured on the cover of that magazine at least three times:

Here's one of the images, featuring pictures of Barack Obama, Rev. Wright -- and Louis Farrakhan. Isn't that cozy?
And if you think Barack Obama didn't know he was featured on this cover, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. --

Read the rest

http://noquarterusa.net/blog/

Barack Obama just got a new makeover. His campaign has finally realized that some of the things about him they thought they could explain away are actually issues that ordinary Americans take offense with.

Most recently Obama has been seen wearing a flag pin on his lapel. And all the time we thought that he meant what he said about not needing to prove his patriotism.

But ever since Hamas endorsed him the flag has been Barry's best friend.

And just yesterday it was revealed that the leader of The New Black Panther Party, Malik Shabbaz has endorsed Obama.

Shabbaz said a few interesting things. Apparently the Nation of Islam believes that Obama is the chosen one spoken about in their theology.

They believe he is the black man that will rule the world and restore Africa and black people to their rightful place as rulers over everyone else.

And if that isn't troubling enough, Shabbaz made it clear that his mentor Farrakhan has not only endorsed Obama, he is backing and supports him ""from a safe distance".

What is it about Obama's past that he finds the need to either hide from or run away from as fast as he can?

Could it be his past experiences with Muslim theology? His father was Muslim. And we know that as a young child he was registered as a Muslim and bragged that he was able to speak Indonesian.

Then when he matured a little and moved back to the United States his favorite book was The Autobiography of Malcolm X. In Obama's autobiography, Dreams of My Father, he reminisced fondly about reading the official organ of the Nation of Islam, The Final Call.

The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American "progressives" in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on "the left" and who is on "the right." It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

Anyone who thinks Israel is better off after 7 years of Bush is a moron. Israel didn't appear to be doomed 7 years ago! I'm not saying we're doomed now, but seriously things are looking very grim. The nuclear cat is out of the bag. Iran is getting the bomb. Invading Iraq was a mistake. How can we defeat this ideology which is our enemy? No, not with bombs. You neutralize it with something much more powerful. It wants to happen. It is going to happen.

You like to be elitist and call Republicans ignorant, but you will follow this man like sheep, without really knowing about him or his questionable record and belief system. Hypocrites.

I don't care if the man is BLUE--my reasons for disliking him as a candidate are not because of his skin color. Quite frankly, I'm beyond sick and tired of you Liberals stereotyping all Conservatives as "WAR MONGERING and BIGOTED" Apparently you cannot think for yourself, you just buy the talking points and repeat them whether they are true or not. I cannot name ONE, not ONE of my friends, GOP or otherwise, who is bigoted like you all claim the entire GOP is. Nope. Not one.

But hey, keep repeating your lies to yourself. I'll keep calling the entire Democratic party a bunch of Murderers, as you are just peachy keen about killing babies for no good reason. Conveniently, you don't want to take any blame for infanticide...but when it comes to soldiers fighting and dying for freedom (your freedom, I might add) you want to point the finger of blame and yell and protest ad nauseam.

Obviously many people feel that "freedom of speech" should only apply to those that agree with their way of thinking! It's sad that some people can't discuss issues without making personal attacks on those that don't agree with them! But then, if they had a strong argument,the personal attacks wouldn't be necessary, would they?

Barack is evasive and builds his following on empty slogans and by outright lies. This has be repeatedly proven. Open your eyes and ears rather than blindly defending this imposter.

If you think Pres. Bush hurt you in your job, your taxes or compromised your security, think again. If Obama is elected, Bush will look like a camdidate for Sainthood.

Posted by: SMASH LEFTIST LIES | May 18, 2008 11:49 PM

Y'all are bringing a new meaning to the word "hyperbole."

Sen. Obama is neither Jesus nor Hitler; he will not make you drive your SUV off a cliff nor turn off your A/C completely nor cut the price of gas in half. He will neither tolerate an Iranian attack nor bring peace to Iraq overnight. His campaign is influenced by a few lobbyists but a lot fewer than Sens. Clinton and McCain. He would be neither the most nor the least qualified person to be President.

His policies positions are a hair's breath from Hillary's and within arm's reach of McCain's, but they are distinct. Why can't we listen to the candidates respectfully, examine these policy differences thoughtfully, and try to discover which one actually lines up with where we want the country to go, rather than freaking out every time we hear some implausible rumor on Olbermann's or Limbaugh's show?

All the comments about B. Obama "standing up" to special interests really cracks me up. Somebody below even said he was going to end pac money influence.

Don't you think all the SPECIAL INTERESTS that gave Obama MILLIONS will want something in return??

Go to opensecrets.org and look at who gave what to who. You'll see that LeMan brothers, Citibank and the rest of the big fat cats who gave hundreds of thousands to Obama also gave hundreds of thousands to Hillary. If they don't care which one of them wins, how is it that Obama will make a difference? You kids need to put down the Xbox for a minute and learn that this man is a politician going to Washington to take your paycheck and redistribute it. It might benefit you while you're a struggling college student, but the minute you're working for 'the man' and paying taxes and a mortgage and need a car to get your 2 kids to day care, this man will become your enemy. Trust me.
Yes, some people don't like him because he's black. Yes, some republicans are racists. Yes, some republicans like nascar. BUT, just because there are a few idiots on this board does not mean Obama is the right answer.
Sadly, McCain is half democrat himself, so if I had anything to say to the socialists (democrats) it's that you shouldn't worry, because you'll do pretty well under a McCain presidency.
I can't say the same for conservatives under an Obama presidency, so that tells me he's not the 'uniter' you guys think he is. He's a wealth confiscating / redistributing marxist, plain and simple.

Posted by: Drudgesucks | May 18, 2008 11:45 PM

Please stop saying that people who oppose Obama are inherently racist. If that's what makes you feel good then cool. But that shows the arrogance of Obama and his supporters. People who do not support him have some social defect. Well, I am a black man, so his race clearly is not driving me away from him.

And before some pop psychologist says I must "hate black people," my oppposition to Obama results from my doubt that he has any true progressive civil rights agenda. Furthermore, his other ideas that appeal to "progressives," are not really that earthshattering politically. Ending the war is not progressive! That's just a staple, I would say. But the Obama generation and some older liberals are so poisoned by neoconservatism, that they think ending a war is a radical act; the center is now the left.

To me, progressive agendas do more than criticize "No Child Left Behind"; instead, they correct unequal funding and end re-segregation -- which is the highest in BLUE STATES.

Progressive agendas do more than spew endlessly about change before large crowds at football fields. Instead, they detail steps needed to improve the lives of the poorest of individuals (renegotiating NAFTA won't do this).

Progressives do not bash nonbelievers as racist; instead, they try to see where lines of connection might lie. Progresives do not blame racism on poor whites, but instead look at how society's most powerful enforce racial inequality domestically and internationally. War policy is grounded in racism against Arabs; environmental violations negatively impact poor persons of color; the Superme Court should do more than simply enforce of abortion rights, but should also enforce progressive race policy (but it doesnt). Progressives should do more than criticize corporate America for having too much influence; instead corporations are wrong because they are lily white and male-dominated power structures. White rural America does not control this stuff. White wealthy people do - the very people who believe that Obama will save the country from demise.

If Obama is elected then we really will see change. Kiss the Constitution goodbye. Kiss our rights as Americans goodbye. How's that for change? Kiss the economy goodbye, he has no idea how to run a lemonade stand much less the U.S. economy. Say hello to the first American Marxist regime and stupid people will cheer as it happens. Of course, they won't be cheering four years later. Assuming we aren't totally damaged beyond repair we may be able to recover what has been lost.
I strongly suggest everyone read the Constitution and rediscover our heritage.
By the way, just for the record, a vote against Obama isn't due to racism. I could care less what his color is. I DO care what his policies are and his attitude towards America. His hatred for America makes him a clear and present danger.

As a white male republican I like the idea of a black President, but not somebody who espouses such dangersous ideas as a single-payer healthcare system (which will minimize health care options, drastically increase price & create a massive entitlement) and income redistribution under the guise of "social & economic justice". Barack didn't have the leadership and conviction to leave a racist church and part w/ a rascist mentor after 20 years. Truly revealing. He lacks experience (3 years as a US Senator). McCain is a proven leader who will fight for us and stand up to the out-of-control spending that is ultimately at the root of our Country's greatest problems.

A bit taken aback at all the anger & hate in the comments. 8 years of Bush is enough to make anybody miserable, but this much?

If anything, try to focus on what's an important issue, as well as what's obvious, mean-spirited fabrications. It's a great policy you're pining for, when the only way to get there is through dirty character attacks.

Barack is a politician. He is the front runner from the Democratic Party. While many of his ideas have merit, most Americans don't dive deep into the research. They allow themselves to feed off of the mass media and continue to "swallow" whatever is flashed in front of them. Soundbytes, and assosciations, of all the politicians are what MANY people base their opinions on. IT IS SAD BUT TRUE.

If Obama wins in 08 it will almost certainly attributed as a referendum on George Bush and to a lessor extent Barack's platform.

The Republican Party if played well has no chance to win the presidential election. From the fear mongering of 9/11, to the explosion of BIG GOVT, to wire-tapping, to the IRAG WAR, to the UNSECURE BORDERS, and the INCREASINGLY growing national debt! The list goes on and on...

We need to re-invest in America! The money is here. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. WE NEED TO INVEST IN INFRASTUCTURE. If we don't start building more schools then prisons, what does that say about our society. When did it become more important to start WARS, instead of addressing the REAL issues America. Energy, Healthcare, Education, and integration of sustainable technologies so we can COMPETE in a global marketplace in the present and the FUTURE!

afgail whote "How many know about Obamas[sic] attempt to steal the Indiana primary election?" No one because it's an allegation you made with nothing to back it up. Just more right-wing smear.

ggg wrote: "A testament to the vacuousness of liberalism and white guilt." Rather ironic that someone who's entire comment consisted of one sentence would refer to people listening to a political speech as "vacuous." And how can you look at a man who graduated Harvard Law School at the top of his class, who was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review, a community organizer, a university lecturer, a lawyer, an Illinois Senator for seven years, and a U.S. Senator since 2004 and just see his race? What racism and bigotry!

Do you really think he spent 20 years being discipled by the Rev. Wright and "didn't know" what the Rev. stood for?!(Anti-American, anti-White man, and escorted by the nation of islam...you do the math)

Nothing really fazes me anymore at the ignorant U.S. populace. Twice they vote in a Team that is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, while the population sits in a coma watching American Idol and shopping with their credit cards.
The stupid idiots on this thread are either Trolls or just Stupid Idiots. To continue on with Obama being a Muslim is about as dumb as one can get. And by the way, What is wrong with Muslims? I happen to have known a few over the years. They were well educated and decent people.
I actually see the Christians as the perpetrators, lately, of crimes against humanity.
Bush, in his 8 years, has managed to invade two Countries based wholly on lies. He then has passed the most ANTI-AMERICAN legislation that has actually been used against the American people...while the dumbed down congress goes along with it, as does the average american idiot. A president that has stated that the constitution is "nothing but a g_d D_amned piece of paper" has actually declared war on the American People.
Meanwhile, Pelosi and her crew of dems, have put impeachment off the table...after they led the country on before the 2006 elections.
We need to impeach more than just Bush/Cheney.
The country, by all counts and by the more educated economists, is Bankrupt folks. The dollar is continuing down.
We can have CHANGE, but only if "we the people" decide to take the reigns back from this run-a-muk sham of a government (which is married to corporate america and therefore should be declared a fascist government....amazing how fascism actually benefits those wealthy folks).
It has been devastating to watch this country going down hill for so long, and especially devastating to watch the American people continue to support this irrevocably broken and corrupted government operate.

oldman&theC - Actually Ron Paul wants to return REAL value to our money, Constitutionally sound, backed by gold and silver. If you look over the years at the price of oil compared to gold, it's flat compared to our dollar (which is worth 2 cents compared to 1913). However if we just create money out of thin air (which is what the illegal Federal Reserve does) it devalues our savings. If my great great grandfather left me $25,000 in 1900 it would be worth about $1,000 today. THAT there is robbery. How many people out there know that their US Dollars are worth as much as Monopoly money? Restore America! Vote Ron Paul!

OBAMA SUPPORTERS FYI: Don't feel insulted if I fail to answer your comments. The fact of the matter is that I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU. I am only interest in talking to those Democrats and Independents who have informed themselves about this issues in this process. For months and months I did try to educated/debate with Obama supporters; show them articles to read; try and make the best case for my arguments; and NOT ONCE did any of this discussion change one mind or make one Obama supporter question their Messiah. No, what I found out is that if Obama killed a baby on live television, his cultists would say it was a mercy killing. They will not, cannot, digest any information which is not consistent with their preconceived notions about him and his candidacy. So no, I feel no compulsion to have a dialogue with most Obama supporters. The time for discussing the issues with them has come and gone. Now is the time to assist in the defeat of Obama, for the sake of our families, and for the sake of this country.

It's funny, all of these years, the AA community have always supported the caucasian candidate, without a doubt or waver. The time has now come, where we have a brilliant young man with the credentials to be a great leader! The only problem, he is not totally white! Ugh..... such ugly thought! I'm writing this here, get used to it because Senator Obama will be our next President. All over the world, America will get her respect again. Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary did wonderful things in the 90's. Also, things were not so good. I don't think that we should dwell on those times but move forward to where America is at today. Senator Obama is the leader that we need today. I truly believe that he feels he can help this country that he has truly been blessed in. So think about it folks, why can't we give him a chance?

That is the essence of her popularity, the Champion of the losers, the one who was almost president when she was in the White House, but because she couldn't get along with Congress(she's a fighter) they ignored her. She was a victim of elected officials not wanting to be told what to do by someone who was never even confirmed to an official position.She was a victim of investigators. She was a victim of a vast right wing conspiracy. She was a victim of her husband(whom she helped cover up his philandering with Monica). Now she's a victim of not enough people voting for her. Maybe she's really a victim of always being the victim. If you keep playing the role of loser/victim, eventually it consumes you. Life imitates art.

Anyway, you redneck boys enjoy your country music and race car drivers. The rest of America is moving on, myself included.

Bob, I don't know why you think of Hitler? Perhaps you better review some history. Hitler spoke of hating anyone who is not white - Germanic white - Aryan. He purposely killed at least 12 million civilians in his concentration camp - 6 million Jews and 6 million others.

Obama in Hitler's Germany would end up in a concentration camp. He's not Aryan; he talks of unity; he talks of tolerance.

Stop the hatred. It is within your power to do so.

....now if this crowd was gathered in OK or TX to hear Obama that would be something else. I mean come on, this crowd occurred in a Blue State -in an even Bluer city. Lefties live for gatherings like this...it's a "feel good" thing for them. Michael Moore sees this and soils himself thinking they've got it won already -that it's all over.

Remember though, the Silent Majority is bigger, much BIGGER! ...Oh it's gonna be such a delight to watch Obama lose and see the frustration on all the liberal faces.

I'm a Conservative but the Republican party is a small elite country club where they allow visitors but don't care to tolerate any one who questions their bad ideas. Their arrogance and greed has made the neo-conservative movement irrelevant to American politics. And soon they will be out of power.

I don't trust Obama or McCain, Ron Paul was the only one who had it right, but he won't be on the ballot. Thank God I still can vote my conscience....Bob Barr 08!

No wonder the world thinks we are a hyprocrisy. Land of opportunity, unless you are black.

We should all be embarrassed. The world is watching us. I sure hope we don't ruin our image anymore than Bush and McCain have!!

Vote economics! Vote for an end to this war! Vote for capture of bin Laden!

But please America, don't vote based on skin color. For we are all Americans! Our men and women soliders bleed the same blood and die in the fashion protecting this land of supposed opportunity, regardless of their color.

It's a heck of a business with no shortage of pea brains who buy that crap lock, stock and barrel.

By the way, where are all you 'good ole boys' going to congregate after President Obama takes the oath of office?

A word of advice for you right-wing nutcases; once Obama IS President, posting any type of threatening stuff like you've already posted here CAN be a Federal crime. Just like a few nutcases who have threatened President Bush. The Secret Service really, really frowns on stuff like that. LOL.

I have to laugh at Ro 13:1; Tit 3:1; Heb 13:17; 1 Pe 2:13; 2 Pe 2:10 kingship-of-man, consumer/client, nominal, so-called "Sunday Christian" statists calling themselves "Christians". In direct, polar, anathematical contrast, Jesus himself was a 1 Sa 8:5-20; Jg 8:22-23; Jg 9; Ps 118:8-9; Ps 146:3; Jer 17:5; Mt 17:24-27; Acts 5:29; Ga 5:1,14,18-23, Php 3:20, 2 Tim 3:5 child of God, and, by far, history's most powerful kingship-of-God anti-statist. Jesus would NEVER have campaigned for the job of president.
As Jesus said, you can't serve two masters. You can't serve both God (the individual) and man (the herd).
With all the masses eager to worship at the altar of the "Big 3", it is obvious that Jesus and JRR Tolkien didn't succeed in teaching us anything.
As for me, I'm with Gandalf: Poor Obama! I wouldn't touch the inherently evil and inevitably corrupting One Ring (of political Power) with a ten-foot pole, not even if a million people gathered to hear me speak and worship at my feet.
Best of luck One-Ring lemmings! Don't hate Obama when he disappoints you because he is only a mere mortal. Don't hate him when he lines his own pockets like all the other politicians. Remember: you asked for what you're going to get!

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

A simple measurement of the rally area on Google Earth will show you that the section of the park used was about 125,000 sq feet.
It's easy to verify .

Each person, if they are not going to be crushed requires about 4 sq feet.

That gives you a CAPACITY crowd, with no breaks or gaps of 31,250.

I am really saddened by the fact that so many people are following someone who will end the dream of the middle class.
Let me quote, "We can't drive SUV's, eat and turn our air on."

Can anyone say Jimmy Carter? Why doesn't he say, let's stop exporting our food and eat it ourselves and stop wasting it on ethanol, and let's build some nuclear power plants so we can turn our air on. Maybe I'm uptight about nothing more than a carefully scripted message to Oregon Hippies, I don't know. I have to trust that at the end of the day, the status quo will win out and nothing much will change, after all, they blocked out Ron Paul who actually talked about real solutions to the real problems and didn't communicate via sound bites and bumper sticker slogans like turn down your thermostat.

It's sad an entire generation of Americans are being raised to believe we're the problem when in fact, we are the leaders and the way we got to be the leaders Obama claims he wants to be, is not by turning down our thermostats, but by building a vast interstate system, an infrastructure and a giant post ww2 housing expansion. This is what we need now. A giant push to rebuild America's infrastructure with Hydrogen or nuclear or whatever the INDUSTRY comes up with, not what gov. chooses for us. When they choose, we lose, think Ethanol.

Government is the problem and Obama represents the face of global socialism and it's sad to me the young people don't even know what that means. I'm glad I'm getting old enough that I won't be around for the V for Vendetta world we're moving to.

What a breath of fresh air to see someone who inspires and uplifts in spite of all the venomous commentators out there spewing their hatred and intolerance.

I wonder how many call themselves Christians? Obama is a Muslim? No he's not, but so what if he were. Muslims come from the same religious roots as Christians and Jews and they revere Jesus and Mary. The Qur'an and the Bible revere the same patriarchs.

People calling themselves Christians enslaved Africans and separated families. One in three black families were separated by the slave system from 1800 to 1860. People calling themselves Christians, the KKK, waged decades of terror against blacks, who tried to improve themselves and their people - Harry Moore, Medgar Evers to name just two.

But still blacks and all supporters of human rights and decency rejected that definition of Christianity and used their own Christianity and spiritual beliefs as a base for struggle for justice.

So not all Muslims are terrorists and not all Christians are the KKK. Stop the intolerance and look to uplift, not to put down. Your own quality of life might just improve.

We got duped by Bush's fake folkiness and sincerity. He was truly the wolf in disguise. This time John McCain wants us to think he's going to be different. But he just McCain't.

Obama presents a return to America's center. We are a moderate nation with a tradition of being liberal, not conservative. It is liberals that gave this nation what we now take for granted.

If you think the nation has improved over the past 8 years, then vote for McCain. The rich have gotten much richer, the rest of us can barely get by. If that's the America you belive in you must be a millionaire.

If any man consider the present aspects of what is called by distinction society, he will see the need of these ethics. The sinew and heart of man seem to be drawn out, and we are become timorous, desponding whimperers. We are afraid of truth, afraid of fortune, afraid of death, and afraid of each other. Our age yields no great and perfect persons. We want men and women who shall renovate life and our social state, but we see that most natures are insolvent, cannot satisfy their own wants, have an ambition out of all proportion to their practical force, and do lean and beg day and night continually. Our housekeeping is mendicant, our arts, our occupations, our marriages, our religion, we have not chosen, but society has chosen for us. We are parlour soldiers. We shun the rugged battle of fate, where strength is born.

Barack Obama's own account of his life shows that he consciously sought out people on the far left fringe. In college, "I chose my friends carefully," he said in his first book, "Dreams From My Father."

These friends included "Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets" -- in Obama's own words -- as well as the "more politically active black students." He later visited a former member of the terrorist Weatherman underground, http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808
who endorsed him when he ran for state senator.

Obama was rated the most liberal member of the US Senate by a leftwing activist group.

The Jeremiah Wright controversy also indicates Obama is a lousy judge of people and character. Moreover, Obama last year gave a speech about the perils of global warming. He drove to the event in his SUV.

You can practically smell the Conservative panic on this thread.

They have good reason to be panicked. Seven years of incompetent Conservative misrule have transformed America into a grotesque, ineffectual parody of itself. Conservatives have themselves become an endangered species. They couldn't get 75,000 people to attend a McCain rally if they handed out Nascar tickets and John Deere hats.

Obama can't be left enough or scary enough to suit me. Conservatives have forced this country to live in fear for far too long. It's about time they get a little taste.

The "dirt" on this candidate is hardly more than a light coat of dust compared to the dirt covering the other two candidates, and especially the dirt on Clinton. Soon we are once again going to have a president we can be proud of rather than a president who is a source of constant embarassment like Bush 2 and Clinton 1 (and like Clinton 2 would also be). We've had 20+ years of Bush and Clinton presidents, and I don't feel like our country is better for their service. Of course, the top 1% of the country's richest people who have sucked up wealth from the entire middle class would disagree. They're having a grand time with Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr. presidents. They would LOVE to see another Clinton in office.

The people I think are delusional are the blue collar, lower income workers who think a whiskey-swilling, sniper-ducking, duck-killing multi-millionaire who's lived behind Secret Service protection for almost 20+ years is one of them. Get a grip on reality, folks.

On the other hand it's rather uplifting. When the right-wingers being flinging this kind of dirt this early you just KNOW that they're in deep doo-doo!!! LOL.

Whether you sickos like it or not (and I know that you don't), Obama will be our next President. And that's when I want to hear ALL of you repeating that mantra about respecting the Office of the President as you have said about GW Bush for seven years now. Knowing the right-wingers as I do I'm sure that the old double-standard will raise it's ugly head and you guys will demean the Office of the President as never before simply because of the hatred that exists within your little black hearts.

The article neglects to mention that:

1. Obama brought 200 lepors to the stage and healed them by laying his hands upon them;

2. He fed the multitude with 5 smoked salmon, 4 loaves of focaccio, and one bunch of arugula;

3. He turned multiple cases of Poland Spring water into Chardonnay...whom am I kidding -- it was Pinot Grigio -- and the entire crowd feasted on wine, bread and fish.

4. Those who could not make it to the speech, waited in the path of his motorcade, hoping to catch a glimpse of the savior....some attempted to physically stop his vehicle, so that they could manage to touch the hem of his garmet, but the Secret Service intervened.

5. Although the crowd dispersed, they were all unified, hopeful and changed. What a blessing!

6. Obama announced his next book at the speech: THE GOSPEL OF OBAMA. It will be a special addition (not edition) to the Bible - following Revelations.

Think the Apple Store. Ever been inside one? They're always crowded, and are in hip-cool places like West LA, or Newport Beach, CA. Very cool, very hip, very crowded. Yet Apple has only 5-6% market share of sales. Or CW's "Gossip Girl." Plenty of buzz, hype, awareness. Averages 2.5 million viewers a week.

Meanwhile Toshiba or HP have around 15-20% of market share. American Idol with their viewers of middle aged women pull in 25 million viewers a week.

Obama pulling a lot of hip, cool, discretionary income gawkers in Oregon or Washington State is not going to get it done. In fact, it's part of the problem. The more hip, cool, trendy, and associated with upper income young white trendoids, the more older, family/married, middle/working class Americans are going to hate him. Just the way say, Fallout Boy and Pete Wentz is hated by anyone over 30 who works for a living.

This has very little to do with politics in the traditional sense, and everything to do with identity politics. Like "Obama Girl" Amber Lee Ettinger, half those people in the rally won't bother to vote. [Ettinger could not be bothered, she was at a Sky Vodka premier party.] Meanwhile, older voters who vastly outnumber (baby bust remember?) young people by about 2-1 are going to go with boring old Brand B. just the way Starbucks provokes brand loyalty by Dunkin Donuts crowd.

There are more truck drivers, plumbers and carpenters than hip trendy lawyers and fashion designers. They mostly live in "boring" places like PA, OH, TX, FL, MI, TN, KY, etc. where Obama has no chance whatsoever.

Prediction: Obama will take the West Coast (except maybe CA, Hispanics don't like him), but barely (Seattle and Portland will go heavy for him, opposite in the suburbs and rural areas). He'll take NY and CT and MD, VT and possibly NH. He'll lose, and lose solidly, everywhere else.

Hillary could beat McCain like a drum, not because everyone loves her, or because she's a cult figure (like Apple, Gossip Girl, or Obama) but because in meat-and-potatoes she can out "Ford-vs.-Chevy" middle America.

Yeah, BMW makes nice cars. Most people drive Fords or Chevys (still) and Obama with his cult-like appeal to the hip and trendy can't appeal to them. I'd be impressed more if he drew 5,000 in Kansas City. And the audience were all working/middle class people.

Divided WE LOSE and the oil companies, insurance companies, and every other PAC and lobbying companies win. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS AND THIS IS OUR COUNTRY! 75.000 people in Oregon know it and so do the other 18 million around America so far that have voted for Barack Obama. You can't scare that away.

It is amazing to read the ignorant posts here, and very sad and embarrassing that the whole world is reading them, too. It is no wonder that the world thinks Americans are the most ignorant, violent, morally deprived people on earth. Grow up America. And while we are growing up, lets get out of other peoples countries. Enough is enough, and let Israel fight its own battles.
It would be almost comical to read these comments if the danger lurking behind them wasn't so real. BEHOLD, The land of the Free!!! The American people have sat idly by while their government has been looting the nation the last 20 or so years, all done compliments of both Dems and Repugs.
The American people are sitting by while they lose their country and the government adds massive debt to their childrens future. What a GREAT people...NOT!
If you really want CHANGE, then start with your own egos and learn to love and start educating your stupid selves. Then get rid of the Cabal of Banking families that run and control our government, Media, education, and pretty much every thing else. Ron Paul is the only one addressing the REAL economic factors that are playing us towards our demise.
Obama, from what I have observed is a decent and good man. For this reason I would be surprised to find him as president of the Land of the Dumb. Watch out for McCain, who will may be running with Leiberman as running mate.

Posted by: ilene | May 18, 2008 11:06 PM

That record-breaking crowd is truly PHENOMENAL!! No matter how this election eventually ends, Senator Barack Obama, and his remarkably-run campaign machine, has already made several "first in history" accomplishments and with it, forever changed the landscape of American politics.

His candidacy is THE best (among the choices given) for this country at this period of time.

The Obama-haters and other opponents here (many of whom are neo-KKK/Nazi-wanna-be- losers looking to get their jollies by stirring up some dung) are of little consequence and comparable to a incorrigible child that should be swiftly isolated, chastised, properly labeled and finally ignored. Rinse and repeat as needed.

The more dangerous seeming ones should be reported the site admin and, perhaps, identified and alerted to the authorities.

For all those who respect Senator Obama, (even if he's not their pick) and those who favor his candidacy, this is a time to appreciate, if not relish in, all the positive things this election cycle means for the nation.

Obama '08!! - because America can't afford to wait.

On a second note:
A message of "Hope and Change" is the exact same thing that Senators and Representatives of the Democrat party back in 2006 when they were fighting for election or reelection, and I have to ask; what have they done. The generic campaign promise was, "I'll get the US out of Iraq and help everyone. Yahhhhhhh!!!!" Really, have the democrats even filled on even One of those promises. It will be the same with Obama. He will get absolutely nothing done while the world spirals into disaster. None of the candidates have even considered the fact that China is gaining in strength daily because of the restrictions on businesses here and the outsourcing to countries like China. Obama wants to hurt these businesses (and frankly the average Joes too) even more be instituting a capital gains tax. It doesn't matter at all if China's growing power is a bubble or not, but the fact that Obama wants to hurt companies even more is preposterous. Not only that, but the reasoning that Obama gives for doing this is "Helping the families on the street and those who can't afford houses (ect.)." Does he Honestly think that most people on the streets are families and not drunks! He is like Denis Kucinich. On a recent TV program (I forgot which) he (Kucinich) thought that the top 10% of money earners payed about 15% of the taxes (actually about 40%) and that the bottom 30% of money earners payed something like 45% (actually less than 15%).

Anyways, Obama has little actual ingenuity and thought processes and will end up being another George Bush, just a puppet. And just as a little goodbye to all of the Idiots who call Obama Critics racists:

I now have it from four sources (three who are close to senior Republicans) that there is video dynamite-Michelle Obama railing against "whitey" at Jeremiah Wright's church.

Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research.

Someone took the chance and started reviewing the recordings from services at Jeremiah Wright's United Church of Christ. Holy smoke!! I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time.

The last thing Barack and Michelle need is a new clip that raises further questions about his judgment and her temperament.

Posted by: WHITEY | May 18, 2008 11:04 PM

The reason things are worse now is because the Democrats have been in control of Congress for he last two years.

For example:

... gasoline prices have gone sky high due to the fact the Democrats have opposed every effort by President Bush to drill for oil here on our own soil, build new refineries and build more nuclear power plants.

... Food prices have gone up because of the Democrats bight idea of biofuels which are also destroying the environment.


... People's houses are going into foreclosure because the Democrats were telling the loan institutions to loan money to more low income people who could afford to make the payments. When this did not work out so well, the Democrats feigned surprise when they were the ones responsible for the policy of making loans more available to low income people.

Good idea, JWilson - the gloves are off and the hoods are on. I ask other caring people to share these posts with their friends and local papers, as it reveals an ugliness that while I knew was not yet dead, I had hoped was declining and too embarrassed to openly speak. You are correct, the current split in the Democratic party pales in comparison to the divide in our country between civilized and decent citizens attempting to make an informed choice in governance versus the racist and ignorant posters in this thread. They are the product of Karl Rove, the centralization of the mass media, an educational system that does not teach analysis or rational thought, and perhaps a little too much formaldehyde-preserved beer. This really is the face of the enemy.
**********

This is a remarkably telling, and rather sad snapshot of America.

The nature of the wildly racist comments from some are beyond belief, and it does clearly show the only real concern that the right-half of America really does have - a serious racial problem.

Another poster mentioned this. I'm going to cut and paste the remarks and send them along, as I really do believe that the posts themselves are a stunning and very telling news story.

And truth be known, there's probably only one thing (another poster mentioned this) that could honestly bring the Hillary and Obama camp together.

And this is it.

"CHANGE"? Change what? Change to socialism? Bovine feces! Socialism = everybody competing for political power with which to steal the "other guy's" labor (money) and put it into his own pocket. Some change! Hah! Welcome to the new Dark Ages.
Don't get me wrong here, the other biggies are no better, and I've never voted for a Bush.
It's just that the dominant members of the inherently evil and inevitably corrupting stupid-human pecking order best known by the deceptive euphemism, "government", never have been, and never will be, out for anything but their own interests. Anybody who thinks otherwise is too naive to live.
The Libertarians are probably the best bet. The Fair Tax would give power back to the people, not socialists like Change Clown, Shrillary or McSame.
Major party apparatchiks are too stupid to live. They think it's all about "winning", which means they're stupid enough to believe there are substantive differences bewtee the "Big 3".
MUCH harder times are ahead, no matter which of the "Big 3" wins the presidency. To survive intact, lower your standard of living, lower your expectations, become as debt-free as possible, study self-sufficiency, eat rice and beans, store food, water purifier, seeds, vitamin supplements, medicines, tools, guns and AMMO. 22LR cartridges will become the medium of exchange in desperate times. Network with like minded people, etc.
Any and all persons who would call me "racist", "hater" or "fear monger" simply because I oppose socialism and group stupidity are the s-c-u-m of the earth. Lots of libertarian-leaning blacks (at least two Ph.D. economists I'm aware of) know exactly what I'm talking about. So, socialist Kool-Aid drinkers: take your wannabe-clever little ad-hominem epithets and shove 'em!
As for me, I'll be out in my survival garden doing the work "Americans don't want to do".
Sincere best wishes to all you adamantly determined lemmings. May God save us all!

For all the uninformed GOP posters who continually get your facts WRONG: Obama was elected to the US Senate in 2004, NOT 7 months ago. And he has been in the Illinois state legislature since 1996.

You might try 'Google' instead of 'Sean Hannity.'

Get off it, people. Whether Sen. Obama wins the election is not a reflection of race in this country. The only ones who want to make his candidacy about race are those that either prey on racial tensions, ie. race baiters, or those that have issues with their own self-worth. If we are going to get past racism, then the only way to do it is to STOP TALKING ABOUT IT and simply start treating each other as fellow Americans and recognize people for their actions, not for their skin color or the spin they put into their words.

That being said, Obama's primary shortcoming is the simple fact that he is a Socialist. Now for all of you who just screamed to yourself "How DARE You!" relax and take a look. What makes the United States a great country isn't our government. The funny thing is that it is the Liberals who cry about this the most, yet they still beg for more government. Let's review. Problem: The govenrments response to Katrina was horrible, more should have been done, homes still haven't been rebuilt, blah, blah, blah. Liberal solution: The government needs to do more. The real solution, give those who were affected the tools and resources necessary to cure their own problems. If they truly want their lives back in order, they'll get it done.
Example 2, Problem: Healthcare is too expensive because federal and state governments have mandated what insurance companies can and cannot offer, reducing patient choice in choosing a plan that fits their needs. Liberal Solution: put the government in charge of healthcare so there is no choice, and no one can be sued for malpractice, because the government can outspend you in court and simply pass laws restricting lawsuits. Real Solution: let YOU choose what kind of coverage (if any) you need and how much you are willing to spend.
Sen. Obama supports both of these socialistic liberal solutions, and more. Bigger government only chains the people it promises to set free. Wellfare is the perfect example. The more dependant a person is on welfare, the more they are inclined to vote for a larger government, which restricts capitalism and reduces employment, further increasing the dependancy on the politician who made the promise of freedom. Thru all this the only one who becomes more powerful is the politician.

OBAMA IS LOOKING FOR A NEW BOYFRIEND.

First there was Larry Sinclair's allegations that he and Obama did drugs and engaged in gay sex in Chicago in November, 1999.

Next came Lawrence Lessig and his use of a gay Jesus video in multiple seminars along with his proposal to blur the distinction between heterosexuals and gays.

Next we find out about the close ties to weathermen bomber William Ayers and his admission that he had sex with male friends.

Next we hear form a former Chicago restaurant chef about persistent rumors in the gay community that Obama was on the down low.

Now a video has just surfaced in which the reverend James Manning calls both Obama and Jeremiah Wright, closet homosexuals.

Do Larry Sinclair's allegations seem so far fetched now?

View the Manning video here:

Worrying about who is president now is like rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic. Besides, many, many people who would rather die than be labled as "racist" will not have the PC police looking over their shoulder in the voting booth. Race WILL matter more than anyone is letting on now.

Obama is a closet Muslim and an empty suit. His core support is consisted of people with serious mental instabilities and low IQ. Don't worry. Come election time, enough people will unveil this snake oil peddler for the cheap liberal pimp he is.

Posted by: Bambino | May 18, 2008 10:55 PM

143 is the number of working days in the senate that Obama was actually in the senate from the day he was sworn in till day he announced his exploratory committee AND we know were he has been since then!


Obama is ahead because he had a bunch of MoveOn Hillary Haters manipulate the caucaus system and that is it. Period.

Obama took his own name off in MI because he knew he was a loser just like in WV.

On Meet The Press with Tim Russert, Obama said he would have voted just like G. Bush FOR THE WAR!!! But, instead Obama surragates latch onto the word FAIRYTALE and completely misinformed the public about what the true topic was and call B. Clinton a racist.

It is not really reported how Michele Obama and Obama surragates continually have been heard saying "I need more white people" to stand behind Obama...to show support.

No one is calling the 92% of Blacks racist for voting for Obama.

Whites vote for Hillary and, just like the first racist post here, they call you a racist without even knowing the person - now we all know that is the basic definition of RACIST!!

Obama panders by wearing "THAT PIN" again AFTER MANY MANY MANY veterans handed him the flag pin and sooooo many pundints said he should just wear it! But we heard more about Hillary's pandering regarding the gas tax than about the flag pin. So what's the difference? Hillary's pandering is to help the American people! Obama's pandering is to help himself - no surprise!!!

This article says Hillary has conceded Or but did not use that same language for Obama conceding Kentucky! Hillary has spent more time in OR than Obama has in KY!!!!! But nooooo the slight must be negative towards Hillary. Don't worry, we got it, we've heard you. Let me tell you one thing, WE WILL NOT BE BULLIED INTO ACCEPTING OBAMA UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!

Hillary is ahead in the popular vote. Period.

Hillary will stay ahead in the popular vote. Period.

The true numbers to remember? 143 - the number of working days Obama spent in the senate.

30+ - the number of years Hillary has spent in service to this country!

Health care would not even be a realistic option if it weren't for Hillary's years of struggles and efforts for the American people when she was First Lady.

We can not now have a first lady that is not even proud of the coutry!

WHAT SHOULD THE REAL ARTICLE BE? THE REAL STORY? HOW THE MEDIA IS PANDERING TO APPEASE VIEWERS TO BRAINWASH THEM INTO THINKING THAT OBAMA IS THE MESSIAH AND THEY (THEY MEDIA) ARE "GIVING HIM TO US" BECAUSE THEY (AGAIN - SUPRISE, SURPRISE) DIDN'T DO THEIR JOB WITH THE IRAQ WAR, THE AFGANISTAN WAR, OUR DEAD AND INJURED SOLDIERS, KATRINA, THE ENTIRE BUSH REGIME - BUT HEY....THEY ARE GIVING YOU "OBAMA THE MESSIAH" SO LOVE THEM FOR THAT AND FORGIVE THE THE REST!

Hillary will take no guff, even with billions and billions of dollars, t.v. time, traitors, pundints all against - SHE IS STILL AHEAD IN THE POPULAR VOTE!!! huh! Curious, huh.

O, by the way - Obama is having a large turn-out in OR because he is having a famous local band there! Sounds just like the free Mathews Band tickets that were being given away FOR FREE when Bill was speaking - but was just mostly "reported" as "charisma for Obama"...UUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

Obama is a charlitan and so is the "media"!

NO HILLARY SUPPORTER WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA - CAN YOU HEAR US!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not like socialism or communism. I am pretty sure who ever gets the office will be a socialist. The only thing different will be the degree.

The problem with Obama is this. He generates hope by offering hand-outs - not opportunity. The problem with Republicans is this. They're arrogant and have taken their base for granted. But be sure of this: America was not founded on, nor will it succeed on Robin-Hood hand-outs. America's hope and inspiration comes from the opportunities provided by virtuous freedom and self-respecting citizens.

Fortunately, most of these people won't vote. Oh, sure, they talk a good game and show up for rallies, but come election day they'll be drunk, high, oversleeping, getting an abortion, late for class, doing "community service", doing time, getting rogered by their boyfriends (either way), lost, getting tattooed, in therapy, identifying a corpse, giving a statement down at "headquarters", or figure their vote won't matter so "why bother"?

I admit that I voted for Bush twice. But I believe the Republican Party has moved too far to the right. After examining all of the candidates, I believe that Obama is the best choice to lead this country forward. I say to others out there, do not be afraid.

The real story here is the hatefulness displayed in the comments on this site. This is the same kind of hateful nature that drives Al Queada and which divides our country. For a long time I was under the illusion that such vileness was only found in a small minority of Americans. But after seeing Bush elected twice and reading the racist comments I've lost faith.

I DON'T APPRECIATE YOU TALKING THAT WAY ABOUT OBAMA AND REV. WRIGHT, HIS "MENTOR AND SPIRITUAL ADVISER." SURE, THEY BELIEVE IN THE RACIST BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY, BUT ACCORDING TO THEM, ONLY WHITE PEOPLE CAN BE RACISTS. SO HOW CAN THEY BE RACIST?

Posted by: Rev. Wrong and his Puppet | May 18, 2008 10:52 PM

The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American "progressives" in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on "the left" and who is on "the right." It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

Whitehouse.com Offers $100,000 for Copy of Video of Alleged Derogatory Michelle Obama Remarks
5/18/2008 8:00 PM
There have been rumors on the Internet and on the Radio of a video tape taken at Trinity Church where Michelle Obama is alleged to have made some derogatory remarks. We do not believe it is in the best interests of this country to have the tape, if it does in fact exist, come out after the Democratic Convention. These are very important times in our country and the last thing we need is an October Surprise. If the tape in question does in fact exist we would want to air the video tape as soon as possible and we will pay $100,000 for a copy of the tape to be able to be the first to air the tape.

Yeah, right! Like things could possibly get worse than how they've been with the George W. Bush cracking down on free speech, spying on Americans, and labeling anyone who doesn't agree with him as being unpatriotic.

Why is just about every Republican who posts here crybabying about the same things. Have you guys ever noticed that all you bring to the table are dire warning about what will happen if we elect a black man. Or what will happen if we elect a "liberal."

Are you guys really dumb enough that you want four more years of the status quo. Are things really that good for you? Are you really that happy with America's standing in the world?

Maybe when you drink the Kook-Aid you don't notice reality, but the rest of us have been dealing with it for almost eight years - and that's enough!

I'm one of the downscale whites you hear so much about these days., and I'm looking forward to voting for Barack Obama in November.

He has great ideas for implementing government transparency, so we can see where our money is going via the internet and work to change it when we don't like it. That was one of the things that first sold me on him.

Frankly, I don't envy the guy. He'll inherit a country so screwed up by Bush and company, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. He'll have to deal with the kind of folks in the comments here who are either so ignorant they don't know Obama isn't a muslim, or are just regular old liars who will say anything to scare some folks away from voting. He's getting an economy that's falling apart, a dollar in decline, and oil prices that ain't getting any lower.

But I look forward to having someone in the office I feel respects the American people, and not just the ones in his party.

Obama in '08!

WHAT'S HE GOING TO DO WHEN HE CAN'T COPY HILLARY'S WORK.

Obama Gets Caught in a Cut and Paste Job

States are not interchangeable. It's nothing but a copy-and-paste hack job.


Here is the competent version, courtesy of Hillary:

Oregon's National Guard has contributed significantly to our nation's actions in Iraq and Afghanistan with 7,000 individual mobilizations. More than 3,500 Oregon Guard members are scheduled to go to Iraq in 2009. In addition, Oregon has 359,000 veterans within its borders, which is higher than the national average. Yet unlike many states with this level of military involvement, Oregon has no active duty bases, which routinely provide health care for military families. This means Oregon's veterans, Guard members, reservists and their families have limited access to the health care they deserve, making reliable health care through TRICARE even more critical in Oregon than in most states.

I think there's a reason Hillary is a bit more handy with details on this one. Did you know that in 2005, she got to work with Sen. Lindsey Graham, and the two of them expanded TRICARE? Through their joint efforts, the program was expanded to include all reservists, even those not currently on active duty.

That's real experience with reaching across the aisle to get something good done.

Speaking about the need to "Clean up our Water", Barack made this solemn pledge to the people of Oregon:
[H]e will continue his leadership in protecting national treasures like the Great Lakes from threats such as industrial pollution, water diversion, and invasive species.

Oregon to Barack: the Great Lakes are not in Oregon!

"When your Oregon plan is an afterthought, it's easy to make 1,700 mile mistakes," said Julie Edwards, Oregon Communications Director. "I hope that if Senator Obama comes to Oregon to debate, he finally learns a little bit about our state."

(Obama is afraid to debate Hillary)

Sen. Obama is always urging us to have a serious discussion about the issues. Here was an excellent opportunity for our two candidates to engage in substance. Instead, Barack's campaign presented a hastily constructed copy-and-paste job, with little or no thought given to the specific issues on the minds of Oregon voters. Change they can believe in? Hardly. .....

Obama Gets Caught in a Cut and Paste Job again. States are not interchangeable.

It's nothing but a copy-and-paste hack job.

Dave you are correct about some of McCains record but, if you have watched this campaign from the very beginning McCain has changed his stance on may issues and has in fact allied himself with Bush and that is a big concern for Republicans as well as anybody that does not want a continucation of the Bush brand.

Barack Obama's own account of his life shows that he consciously sought out people on the far left fringe. In college, "I chose my friends carefully," he said in his first book, "Dreams From My Father."

These friends included "Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets" -- in Obama's own words -- as well as the "more politically active black students." He later visited a former member of the terrorist Weatherman underground, who endorsed him when he ran for state senator.

Barack Hussein Obama is clearly a Muslim. He used to go to a Muslim mosque but "converted" to Christianity. However, the muslims still support him as the candidate for president. If he truly converted, the koran would demand that barack be killed as an apostate. So obviously, since he is being supported my the nuts in the muslim religion, he is still a muslim. Are you guys too stupid to see this simple formula. Get your head out of your a** before a muslim gets into office and destroys this country. Do any of you barack supporters remember 911?

We know he loses his temper when he doesn't get his way.

We know Obama flipped off Hillary, our only female Democratic nominee, twice - at his rallies while being taped.

We know Obama won't wear "that pin" unless, now, for pandering reasons he is wearing it.

We know Obama has repeatedly made fun of Hillary, i.e.: Annie Oakley, six-shooter, duck hunting, etc.

We know Obama's wife is not proud to be an American.

We know Obama's wife is not proud of America.

We know Obama's wife hates being Black in America - well, I guess we will know the rest of this story when AFTER this election her university said they would release her thesis...

Obama never answers questions. Hillary always answers questions.

Obama has 164 working days of experience in the senate. Hillary has 30 plus years of dedication to America.

Bush was a coke-head-loser and Obama said in his book he was also a coke-head-loser. AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF COKE-HEAD-LOSERS!!!! WE WILL NOT ACCEPT OBAMA - NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE MEDIA TRIES TO TELL US THAT WE WANT HIM!

Hillary will win this nomination because the American people will NOT sit quietly by THIS TIME and accept what is given to them as we did with Gore and Bush!

Posted by: LDC | May 18, 2008 10:43 PM

Some people in these posts are defending Obama's appeasement policies by saying why why not talk to our enemies with out pre conditions? Answer: The party that goes into a meeting with a known enemy without preconditions is automatically considered as the weaker party and more likely to come out the loser. Further, a meeting with the President of the United States gives the party the President is meeting with status. This status should not be given to known enemies of the United States with out some form of concession. In the case of Iran, maybe stop funding terrorists and killing our troops and the President of the United State will meet with you.

Also, Obama;'s so called intellectual capacity is not as high as many believe. For example, Obama stated that Kennedy met with Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile crisis. Wronge, Khrushchev met with Kennedy in Vienna on June 4, 1961, 15 months prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis that occurred from October 18-29, 1962. If Obama wants an accurate historical analogue of Obama's idea to meet with no preconditions with anti-American dictators such as Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad it would be the trip British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French premier Eduoard Daladier took to Munich in September of 1938 to negotiate "peace in our time" with Adolf Hitler. History shows that that didn't work out so well. But maybe Obama is not aware of this fact given his obvious lack historical knowledge.

Yu are correct. McCain is a stinking liberal too. But just like Bush, he will get elected becasue he is NOT CLinton or Obama. We have to hold our noses and pull hte lever in the name of picking the least disgusting candidate. Keep on complaining about McCain, it's rather funny. He voted alongside democrats his entire career, he stands for all the thigs you people preach, and goes against all the things republicans believe... yet you call him Bush2. It's freekin hilarious.

Give me a break. Obama? A seven year State Legislator, who fails to be elected to congress, then he runs against a non-existent Republican and finally wins in 2006. He then, instead of serving as a Senator, begins running for President. He knows nothing, says nothing, has no qualifications to be the President, and is not only a megalomaniac which can be seen clearly in his hysterical rant against the President when Bush never even mentioned him in his speech before the Knesset. What a thin-skinned, self-centered, arrogant, wimp.

You are powerless right wingers, powerless and going down. Your traitor has looted the US treasury long enough, Obama will see to it that not only balance is restored, but that the voice of the right wing conservatives will no longer have any power in US politics. This is the end of corporate control of the Republican party and every person who sold out the USA voting for George Bush.

Obama is less qualified to be president than George Bush was when he first ran. If elected, he would be the least experienced person to ever enter the oval office.

Everyone get used to the idea that he will not get the nomination no matter how many people this homo brings.


Soon evidence will come out about his homosexual affairs and just like Gov. Spector he will come out and humiliate the nation over his affairs

Democrats and Independents in '08

Obama, the empty suit.

Let's elect this guy, get this socialist experiment over with and get it out of all you Obama crazed freaks systems, then look to 2012 for a real candidate to arise that promotes personal responsibility, liberty, small government and fiscal conservatism.

Go Mr. Empty Suit, 2008!

Posted by: Nancy | May 18, 2008 10:41 PM

I'LL BET HE'S TELLING THEN HE "DOESN'T" TAKE LOBBYIST MONEY. THAT'S ONE OF HIS FAVORITE LIES.

"Sen. Barack Obama raised more than $1 million in the first three months of his presidential campaign from law firms and companies that have major lobbying operations in the nation's capital."

This month, USA Today reported:
"Obama accepts money from spouses of federal lobbyists. In December, the campaign returned a $250 contribution from lobbyist Thomas Jensen of Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal, but a few
days later, it cashed a $500 check from his wife, Sarah, records show...."

"Obama holds fundraisers at law firms that lobby in Washington. Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor confirmed the campaign held five fundraisers at New York and Boston offices of three firms that lobby, including Greenberg Traurig [the same firm that lobbyist-turned-prison-inmate Jack Abramoff had worked for]...."

The Hill ran a story in March 2007, which states that an Obama fund raiser specifically asked a lobbyist 1) for his wife's donation, and 2) for access to that lobbyist's business contacts.

Then there's the issue of lobbyists who don't actually sign donation checks but who bundle other people's checks. When lobbyists bundle donations, Candidates know whom to thank.

SourceWatch has an entire section, with sources, on lobbyists' bundling for Obama.
Then there's the matter of corporate cash. Sen. Obama claims that he is not beholden to corporate interests, because he doesn't take money from corporations. No federal candidates take money directly from corporations, because that's illegal (Tillman Act of 1907).

Instead, the longstanding tradition among candidates is to take donations from corporate executives, employees and PACs. Obama certainly has been part of that tradition, as the Los Angeles Times reported earlier this month:

"Obama has taken at least $263,000 from oil company executives, family members and employees since entering the presidential race last year, including $46,000 last month. At least $140,000 has come in chunks of between $1,000 and $2,300, the maximum permitted under federal law [likely not from janitors and receptionists]...."

According to Newhouse News services, Sen. Obama:
"People in the oil and gas industries have given $222,309 to Obama. He received $528,765 from the pharmaceutical and health industry, making him the largest recipient of the sector's largesse.
"Obama's Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, has raised $309,363 from the oil and gas industry and $506,001 from the health care and pharmaceutical industry."

Obama has taken special-interest money while falsely claiming that his campaign coffers are untainted.

In short, Obama is a player in the old Washington game -- he just tells voters that he's not.

The obvious reality and hypocrisy matter, because they go to the heart of a major plank in Obama's campaign platform. For months, he has marketed himself as a clean outsider who is, therefore, better able to change Washington than any other candidate.

Obama has received support from many hopeful people who believe the misleading claims and comparisons underlying Obama's image.

The money trail is where the truth about politics tends to reveal itself -- and the money trail suggests that Obama is just as tainted by special-interest cash and just as entrenched in old-style politics as any other candidate.


Names of the DC Lobbyists Obama "Doesn't" Take Money From

I would like to follow up on Barack Obama's TV spot about how he doesn't take money from lobbyists.

Now let's take a look at known Federal Lobbyists who are referred to as Bundlers For Barack Obama. Unlike the other candidates in this race, Barack Obama is far more surreptitious about his relationships with lobbyists.

Known lobbyists collect "bundled" money for him so that the money doesn't actually "look" like it came from the lobbyist himself. Now why would a lobbyist do this? Two reasons:

1) So Barack Obama could pretend he doesn't take money from lobbyists
and

2) So the lobbyist will still later get "credit" for collecting all this cool cash for their "Man".

Barack Obama appears to have mastered many old tricks for a man who claims to be "different". Here is a most recent list of Registered Federal Lobbyists who have bundled money for Barack Obama. Click on the links to see bundling and lobby information from White House For Sale.

Timothy Broas - $100,000+
Frank Clark - $200,000+
Howard Gutman - $200,000+
Scott Harris - $200,000+
Allan Katz - $200,000 +
William Lake - $50,000+
Robert S. Litt - $ Not Revealed
Kenneth Lore - $50,000+
Thomas J. Perrelli - $200,000+
Thomas A. Reed - $200,000+
Paul N. Roth - $50,000+
Alan Solomont - $100,000+
Robert M. Sussman $50,000+
Tom E. Wheeler - $100,00+

Total: $1,700,000+ dollars in bundled money from known registered Federal Lobbyists.

Obama - One degree of seperation

http://rezkowatch.blogspot.com

Posted by: lies lies more liberal lies | May 18, 2008 10:40 PM

Electing a black president will serve as a beacon of hope for many blacks who now feel they are oppressed by a white majority. Obama's presidency will take that excuse away. Lifting one element of society lifts us all up. Regarding Obama's detractors that say he hasn't DONE anything, what does any senator do? They propose and vote on legislation. Most people, particularly those from a state other than any given senator's state would not be able to cite accomplishments of said senator. Listen to the mans ideas, not his experience or his associations. Bush has more RELEVANT experience than all candidates and look what he's done. Obviously experience doesn't always translate to good decisions. Associations do not translate to interpreting the way someone thinks. Listen to what comes out of his mouth for that. If you are concerned he will turn into Hitler after he's elected, take comfort in the knowledge that with congress battling over every bill, little actually changes. If he started talking like a nut case as so many of you are concerned about, he won't get any legislation passed. There are benefits and pitfalls to the right and the left wing. We have gone to far to the right and now we need to move back toward the center. Since there are no centrists, a liberal is needed to move back toward the center to balance things out. Vote Obama!

Talk about Obamabots that do not know how to think!

I am sadden by how many American citizens are being raped by Barack Obama. But it is their own fault. So much historical ignorance, so much lack of political education.

Barack Obama's pretty words are just that, pretty words with nothing to stand on.

I ask all of you mindless Obamabots who support this very dangerous individual to go deeper than his pretty words!!!

WHAT HAS BARACK OBAMA DONE IN THE US SENATE OR THE ILLINOIS SENATE THAT SHOWS HE IS A UNITER?! What piece of legislature, what bill did he bring to the floor or sponsored that shows he is a uniter?

During his very short political life before running for the Presidency of the USA, how has Barack Obama reached across the aisle and shown that he is a uniter?

C'mon Obamabots, if this individual is so great, prove it!!! Don't quote me speeches, quote me action!

There are many other historical figures that claimed to be uniters, that claim to bring change and hope. I ask you, what type of change is Obama talking about, what type of hope is he talking about? Hope to who? Him, his loyal friends?

You people remind me of the mindless thousands, millions that lined up the streets of Nazi Germany to listen to Hitler's pretty words about a united Germany and making it a strong nation again. You remind me of the countless mindless millions who lined up the streets of Cuba to listen to Castro give similar speeches about Cuba. You remind me of the countless mindless millions that cried and visited Stalin's tomb after his death.

I cry for this great nation of ours. I cry for the great level of ignorance that exists in this nation. I cry for all the Americans who believe in Barack Obama. Barack Obama is using you, he is raping you.

If Barack Obama is elected President, this will mark the beginning of the end for this nation. May God prevent this man from ever becoming President of the United States of America.

Let us not forget Barack Obama's friends, William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, "Rev." Wright. How blind, how blind can American citizens be?


I pray for this nation and I pray that the Obamabots wake up!

First, Obama and the Dems don't need Kentucky or W. Virginia to win in November. They'll make a few house calls to the South but at the end of the day they'll focus on five or six swing states and that'll push them over the top.

Also, if you're reading any of the polls, listening to any of the pundits, or paying attention to any of the special elections, you should have a pretty good sense by now that Republicans are in very, very hot water.

I mean, if there was ever a time when an alien from another planet could get elected to the White House, now is it. The current Republican president has the lowest approval ratings of any president since they started keeping track in 1937. Even Nixon didn't do this poorly.

Do you truly believe Americans are so racist that they're actually going to elect ANOTHER Republican to replace the Republican they can't stand????

Think again...

If Obama doesn't want to nominate Clinton as VP, why doesn't he nominate a stand in, and say he will have the stand in run for VP who will resign once he becomes President, and appoint a commission of Democrats, Republicans, and independents to make suggestions. The commission could hold hearing on C-Span, and once the commission makes their suggestions the House of Representatives could hold a run off vote of the two top vote getters. This way Clinton and the others can campaign out their hearts without hurt hearts for Obama hoping the commission will select them. Also those running for congress can hear from their voters who they want as VP.

I have another suggestion that Obama could wait a few weeks after the Republican convention to see how he alone is doing in the polls and then decide if he needs Mrs. Clinton as VP to win. The polls, at that point, could reveal who helps him, who does nothing for him, or who hurts him

Being only 22 years old, I grew up thinking that racism, bigotry, and fear of "the other" were something confined to my parents' generation, not my own.

Reading these comments has made it all too obvious that an enormous percentage of our country is still absolutely terrified of having a black man as president.

Honestly, the emotion being expressed right now, it's so hysterical and irrational, it's like a lynching for the virtual age.

Posted by: State of Shock | May 18, 2008 10:36 PM

As many of you know, Obama has hired hundreds of paid bloggers to surf the net and spread his lies and propaganda. After reviewing many of these posts, it appears that they have developed a strategy to con Hillary Clinton supporters and Independents into voting for Obama using various ploys, including: (1) The "Supreme Court" card, i.e. if Obama doesn't win, McCain will appoint conservative judges. (2) The "Roe v. Wade" card, i.e. if Obama doesn't win, the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade; (3) The "race card,", which we are all very familiar with since Obama entered the race i.e. if you are against Obama, then you are a racist; (4) The "real Democrat" card, i.e. "real Democrats" will vote for the Democratic nominee whether they like him/her or not; (5) The "baby killer card", i.e. if John McCain wins, he will institute a draft and you will be responsible for the killing of babies; and (6) The "Hillary would want you to vote for Obama" card, which is self-explanatory.
______
It is important to know that although Obama, his supporters, the DNC and party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, or who do not support Obama, they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further the ruthless ambitions of Obama and the party elite. They will want you to forget all about the months and months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement and the rationalization of racism, if it results in the nomination of their hand-picked candidate. They will use all of the above-mentioned "cards" and more, to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON'T FALL FOR IT! _______
Whether you want to write-in Hillary, if possible, vote for John McCain rather than Obama, or sit out the election, remember that your action or inaction could result in the election of the inexperienced, deceptive, ruthless, divisive, black liberation theology believing, terrorist befriending, race-card throwing Obama. UNLESS YOU DESIRE THIS RESULT, PLEASE MAKE YOUR DECISIONS WISELY.

Dwight, you are for no better word a "fool". That is the only way I can describe you and anyone else who believes like you do. Without God, we are no better than these 3rd world countries. Yeah, those religious zealots have ruined everything, haven't they? Please get your facts straight. What group has contributed more to the devastation of Katrina and all these other disasters throughout the world. Guess what stupid, it is the Christians.

S.Phillippy: "Truly we have been dumbed down - to the point that we can believe someone with nice words, and only nice words, can be elected President of the greatest country in the world."

"only nice words"? If you want to believe that, we both know there's no dissuading you. If, however, you are after what is true, here's one way to get at it: Senator Obama is 46 years old, and he has not spend any of his life in some "undisclosed location." On the contrary, he has done a number of ordinary things in an extraordinary way -- not glamorous politics, but bread-and-butter matters that have imparted, by all indications, plenty of street smarts and wisdom to the man.

When it comes to electing a POTUS, there are no sure bets; President G. Bush has taught us that much. These are the times that cry for desperate measures, and I shall rather take the risk and bet on the promise of an exceptional leader than be cautious and go with someone who seems to be full of piety and self-righteousness and who promises different results from repeating the same old policies.

Warren Buffet: Dem. Giving 40 Billion to a "Charity"..Taxes paid... $0.00
Bill Gates: Dem, Giving 60 Billion to the same "Charity"... Taxes paid.. $0.00
Kennedy Clan: DEM. Over 1 billion dollars in a "foundation" Taxes paid $0.00
Larry ellison.. Dem

And the list goes on. Trust me when I say Dem do not want the "middle Class" to come close to what they have and control

Ron Paul drew bigger crowds than McCain, and those were no bigger than 2,000.

I remember last fall taking my grand daughter to a concert in St. Louis the same night Obama was speaking right next to the restaurant where we ate before the concert, and his crowd looked to be under 1,000.

So now Obama is drawing huge crowds, and McCain and his neocon friends think they will keep control on the White House! I doubt it. The choice is between a war mongering empire builder, pretend war hero with liberal tendencies and an even more extreme liberal who pretends he plans to end the war in Iraq.

Whoever wins it will be the samo-samo. Bend over and grab your ankles and take it as usual from our masters.

We are still on the road to disaster.

The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American "progressives" in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on "the left" and who is on "the right." It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

Barack Obama's own account of his life shows that he consciously sought out people on the far left fringe. In college, "I chose my friends carefully," he said in his first book, "Dreams From My Father."

These friends included "Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets" -- in Obama's own words -- as well as the "more politically active black students." He later visited a former member of the terrorist Weatherman underground, who endorsed him when he ran for state senator.

And for all of you who are comfortable with the idea of keeping the war going becasue you are SELFISH and can't see error in the thought, please convince ALL your relatives who are able to go to Iraq to die for your vote for McCain.

It's fascinating reading all these posts by frightened white people who are worried that a black man will "get them" if elected president.

Or Republicans who are running scared because they're not going to have the power to shove their Neocon ideology down people's throats anymore.

The Republican Party needs a wake up call and fast. I've been a moderate Republicans for almost 25 years, and me and a lot of other moderate Republicans are on our way out the door.

And if you think the Republican Party is going to retain power, or ever be back in power without moderate Republicans - well you got another thing coming.

The Republican Party has allowed a small segment of radical religious nutjobs to take control and force it far, far to the right, and all of us in the middle are plum fed up!!

Hope & Change... Hope & Change... Hope & Change... Hope & Change... Amazing... Like a bunch of kids... "some people started singing it not knowing what it was... and they'll just keep on singing it forever... just because..."

Obama speaks in generalities that create unrealistic hopes of what any one person can accomplish in office regardless of personal abilities. Aside from his all too familiar Hope & Change mantra, his only claim to fame is condemning all who voted for the war... claiming he was against it from the beginning... all based on a 2002 speech he gave in Chicago... but he conveniently leaves out the fact that he wasn't even in the Senate then... hoping you'll assume he was. In fact he had not been elected yet and was in Illinois when the vote went down.

Barack wants you to think that he alone had the courage to take this position... through some mystical insight... but the truth is... he had nothing to risk. In a 2004 interview with the New York Times he admitted that he had not been privy to the Senate intelligence reports and he said, "What would I have done? I DON'T KNOW. What I know is that from my vantage point the case was not made." From what vantage point was he operating from? Those intelligence reports were the basis of the Senate's decision. If you were not privy to those intelligence reports then the case was never presented to you... so how can you honestly say the case was not made? You Can't!

Obama is not honest or truthful, nor has he any courage given his voting record on "Important" legislation both in Illinois and Washington D.C. I could go on but it's late and I'm tired. Research it if you have doubts or need more information... but please do your country a favor and make your decision based on Facts and Not on "Obama Speak".

If Obama is elected, Jan. 2009 will be remembered by historians as the time when the 21st century really began for America. It will be seen as a time when the USA turned back from a destructive path and adopted a positive, confident outlook that led it to new greatness.

Listen to Obama. He has a plan. He has a vision for America that includes all of us. Our problem as a nation is that we were duped by the neocons into believing that they have a vision for America that is consistent with our morals, decency, and dreams.

Those who ask for the specific plans now beyond what has already been outlined are expecting more than has ever been given during a political contest. Also, the average American could care less about the specifics but would only be subjected to the continuous spin that would totally obscure the plan. You just have to look at the spin now as it pertains to the information that is already out there.

Oregon, where you aren't allowed to pump your own gas because the nanny state needs to provide jobs for the dregs.

I like not having to get my hands dirty thank you very much. I'd much rather pay a few extra cents for some old guy in a windbreaker reeking of cigarettes and dirt under his fingernails to do it for me, thanks.

Actually, a good idea would be to lower minimum wage here (which is something like 7.95) to about 4.00, then we could have double the amount of station attendants for the same cost and you could have someone check your oil and wash your windows. Excellent!

How about you and amazon Michelle begin by not using air conditioner or drive an SUV or eat so much her cottage cheese thigh rub.

After reading these comments one wonders why Obama would want to be president of a country with such narrow minded, thoughtless, depressing morons. The reason our country is in such trouble is that maybe we got what we deserved these past seven years with GWB. What a shame it could be to have an intelligent, articulate and thoughtful person in charge.

Posted by: Sallie | May 18, 2008 10:22 PM

This rally is great news for America.

If Obama is elected, Jan. 2009 will be remembered by historians as the time when the 21st century really began for America. It will be seen as a time when the USA turned back from a destructive path and adopted a positive, confident outlook that led it to new greatness.

McCain would be, at best, a caretaker president, when we need MUCH more.

In his victory speech after the North Carolina primary, Sen. Barack Hussein Obama said something that is all the more remarkable for how little it has been remarked upon. In defending his stated intent to meet with America's enemies without preconditions, Sen. Obama said:

"I trust the American people to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did."

That he made this statement, and that it passed without comment by the journalists covering his speech, indicates either breathtaking ignorance of history on the part of both, or deceit on the part of both.

Good Lord, there are a lot of ignorant folks out there.

Look, the fact of the matter is that as long as we are afraid of "The other" we will never really get over racism in this country...I should point out that it was Hillary who exploited redneck fears in West Virginia. She learned well from the Republicans.

Some on the Right have become so paranoid it's scary. They're afraid of losing power, they see the GOP getting its behind whipped this November, the future (at least in the form of the possibility of a black man becoming president) is staring them in the face and they are SCARED. That giant sucking sound you hear is Bush's America running for cover.

Never fails to amuse me that the Obama campaign is nothing but an abstract still. Change, but what change? There are no concrete answers, cept "whatever you want, that will be a priority of an Obama candidacy". I am not anti Obama, I just can't buy into the saviour which yall say is Obama. It would be very easy to just believe cause one wants to, but life is difficult and he has not been tested or been straight foreward about what he believes or what he would do. Right now it's clearly an emotional decision to support this campaign, lets see some rational thought come into the fold. No Politician can solve our problems, there is no easy answer, I will wait and see what he does when he is in a debate with the R and he has to actually answer a question with a definitive policy statement. Until then I am undecided.

The one thing that stands out the most in these replys is the lack of total knowledge of things political. Barrack Obama is a joke, and a cruel one at that. o is Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

None of these people have the best interest of the country in their hearts. They only have visions of self importance and power on their agenda. If you can't see through the sound bites these "Characters" espouse then you are the problem with this nation. Get your head out of your ass and learn something! Got it?

Yoiu yong people are te worst of the bunch. I know that you have limited life experiance but you should know better then to buy into a bunch of B.S. Did your parents waste their money on your education? It seems they did.

Obama is nothing but a snake oil salesman, though the weak minded amongus fail to see the truth. My God, the liberals have finally gotten the society they've been aiming for. An illiterate youth, and a messenger that fools them every time. Grow up, and don't take your time about it!

The focus by progressives, liberals, racial hucksters and demagogues on entitlements, grievances, and "social justice" is a smokescreen for one of the basest of human motivations: Envy. The effect on those who seek such leveling by force is as tragic as the effects on the rest of us for their efforts.

Envy is simply helpless greed. If we think of greed as the elevation of things over the people in our lives, then envy is that same sentiment from a passive or helpless position - though the liberal con men and women on the left make it out to be much more noble than all that.

TROJAN HORSE. A beautiful gift, or so it was thought. If you don't know what the Trojan Horse was, please look it up in history or Google.
Nice Guy Mr. Obama has been called a "gift". Yes, he is handsome, charming and talented. But if he were elected president, we have no idea all the people who would come out of the woodwork to surround him, who would come spilling out of the gifted Trojan Horse, to change the USA and your life and mine as we now know it. Scary! Alert your family and friends to the danger of receiving this Trojan Horse gift. And more--pray for God's help in this watershed election.

Posted by: Martha | May 18, 2008 10:17 PM

LKJ, grow up, Obama is not god and he cannot do any of the things you think he can do.

Number one: Obama has a lot of lobbyists hanging around him at his beck and call. For example, one of Obama's first acts in the US Senate was to steer one million dollars to his wife's place of employment,for the construction of a new hospital pavilion at the University Of Chicago.

Number two: Retreating from Iraq will make the US less safe as it will allow Al Qaeda access to Iraq's vast oil reserves and thus the means to attack the US and attack us hard. It could also cause the blow up of the Middle East which will result in many more lives lost.

Number three: Please name one successful government program. Look back to the era of President Johnson when he advocated the so called "war on poverty" back in the 60s. Despite the billions of government dollars spent on eradicating poverty there is as much poverty now as there was back in the 60s. The reality is that the bulk of tax payer dollars (that are taken out of the private sector and sent to DC) go into the pockets a bunch of bureaucrats and corrupt hanger ons like Rezko.

Number four: Obama is calling for higher taxes not lower.

Number five: Name one example of any legislation Obama has worked on in conjunction with the GOP. The answer, there are none.

Been to this site before. Truly an amazing venue. Obama has proved that he has what it takes. It is time for America to turn the page and close the Bush chapter. Yes, even white people support Obama - millions of them. The sad thing is that millions of white people will not vote for him only because he is a black man. Shameful!!! Please spare be the black vote percentages. Black people have proved over and over that they will indeed vote for a white person. Go, go, Obama!!!

Posted by: Earl C, Virginia Beach | May 18, 2008 10:15 PM

Seriously, are all you people who write such negative comments about Obama really in touch with reality? Don't you ever even read the news? Do you have any clue that John McCain actually supported the notion that we should stay in Iraq for the next 100 years? Don't all of you people who are between 18 and 50 years old realize that McCain will have you drafted? Seriously, vote for Obama.
We must beat all of these people who are saying that they do not support Obama for trivial reasons, like for not wearing a flag pin. Most people who take issue with that are themselves not very patriotic. If they could make a choice between going off to war in Iraq and staying at home, they would choose to stay at home. In my opinion, the fact that they would choose not to go off to war already quesions their so-called "patriotism." Obama, on the other hand, was one of the few people who had the courage not to support the war in Iraq when it first started. He at least attempted to protect 4,000 soldiers from dying and at least attempted to spare their families of the grief that they must be feeling right now. (To all people who hate Obama: Would you like it if your child or parents died?) That is true patriotism. That is really showing love for your countrymen.

I am neither for or against Obama. I'm impressed by his ability to draw the big crowds and inspire his young followers, but I don't really see any actual gameplan defined. I hear him generally talk about what he wants to do, but not how he is going to do it. I am a slightly right-leaning centrist but I am having a hard time picking between the lesser of two evils. Sure, Obama isn't necessarily a bad person, but he's a bad candidate. On the other hand, can we really stand another four or eight years of Clinton presidency? I find myself, with each passing day, feeling that we are going to end up in the hands of either a candidate who has no real plan, a candidate that has a plan but will play any dirty trick to gain the power, and a man who is too old to hold such a high pressure office and divides his own party. The future looks bleak.

I. Thou shalt not speak the middle name of the Obamassiah. To do so exposes thine as a racist and it shall not be tolerated.

II. Thou shalt not mention past associations of the Obamassiah. To do so exposes thine as a racist. For despite any recent or current friendship his holiness may have with them, he was only a child when they ran afoul of the law. Or he missed that sermon.

III. Thou shalt not mention praise of the Obamassiah by murderers and tyrants. To do so exposes thine as a racist, it is a sign that thine has truly lost one's bearings.

IV. Thou shalt not mention the schooling of the Obamassiah at any point in his existence. To do so exposes thine as a racist.

V. Thou shalt not question the Obamassiah more than eight times. To do so exposes thine as a racist. For the time of his holiness is of a value beyond your own.

VI. Thou shalt not question the past of the Obamassiah family arrival or his birth. To do so exposes thine as a racist. For events in time matter not if they occur differently than his holiness speaks of them. It matters only that you believe.

VII. Thou shalt not question the words of the Obamassiah's spouse. For if her words mirror those of the past associations of his holiness then thine is a racist twice over for the mention of them. (see II)

VIII. The purveyors of words to the people shall cast only praise on the Obamassiah. To turn from this exposes thine as a racist and a soldier of the unbeliever and thine should be cast out and lose any source of livelihood.

IX. Thou shalt not question the patriotism of the Obamassiah. To do so exposes thine as a racist. For by not displaying any outward love for his land only proves his love for his land.

Blacks have proven with Obama that they are still not ready for a big leadership positions like President of the United States. They need to wait about 20 more years to develop more character & skills for that job. Abraham Lincoln said the blacks where incapable of ruling themselves it is true too look how horribly messed up Africa is, and most criminals & prisoners are blacks in the US and most gangs and violence is from blacks too.

Being from N.Y.C., this reminds me of David Dinkins. The media and every one said that he was the second coming. He is black and would heal the city's woos. He understood the poor and minorities,etc., etc. And most of all, we needed change. Well, crime went sky high, the city had more strikes during his term, businesses moved out at an alarming rate, corruption at every level,tourism came to a halt, the city became the laughing stock of the nation. We were finally saved by Rudy Guiliani. Vote for Obama and history repeats itself on a national level. Obama would destroy this nation. I can't believe that there are so many blind people in this country.

I knew when he first announced his candidacy that Obama would be defended by stigmatizing as racist anyone who opposed his election. And I see many are only too happy to make that defence seem valid.

After 8 years of that religious fanatic in the white House I have had enough. I certainly hope if he is elected that Obama does indeed open up communications with all the counties around the world including Iran. What has Bush and all the other dopes in his inner circle done for us? In the 80's Rumsfeld was hugging and kissing Saddam. Now he is the bad guy? Please. Wake up people! I am tired of all the lies. We will nerver, ever win in Iraq. They will fight us for a thousand years and this country will be bankrupt long before then. We have bridges collapsing, schools crumbling, people going hungry, and millions without Health Insurance in this country. whats wrong with this picture. Who cares if Obama doesn't have years and years of experience in the Federal Govt. I'm glad he doesn't. George W. bashes countires like France, without the French we would never have gained our independence. Funny thing, if you go to France, the French people keep our WWII cemeteries clean because they do appreciate us. Don't believe everything you hear from the liars in power right now!!!!!

To those of you who are unwilling to let go your hate, who see the world in nothing but black vs white, us vs them, you have truly made me ashamed to call you my fellow Americans. Reading some of the bigoted comments here, one would think we were still in the 60s. Obama for all his faults is a brilliant man who is putting himself and his family unwittingly in harm's way because many of the ignorant, uneducated, close-minded, backwards-thinking, longing for the days of old people on this site wouldn't hesitate to do him harm. If you do not like the man fine, but to attack him racially, to insinuate that he got to where he is riding on the coattails on only his black supporters is as ingenuous as it is bigoted. Instead of this self-fulfilling prophecy where you feed your ignorance by watching only shows that buttress it, get out of your comfort zones, watch the BBC, travel the world and for goodness sakes open your minds. I read most of the comments here and tonight I am truly truly ashamed that you people exist. I take comfort in the fact that you are all a dying breed. Obama in many ways represents what America is going to be. Get used to it or your hate will only consume you.

Posted by: The Truth | May 18, 2008 10:09 PM

100 years ago, 80% of the US population was working hard to provide food clothing and shelter while 20% of the population was engaged in service professions, gov't service, teaching, and similar activities. A negligible fraction of our population were getting by through income transfer from those more productive than others. The absence of a large safety net was both a blessing and a curse. It resulted in strong families and an incredibly self-sufficient people who were actively engaged in caring for their family because the consequences of being lazy was obvious. The social stigma of being "on the dole" was very significant - the productivity and social mobility of the US population was nothing short of amazing. From this fertile soil, the American Dream was born, and the strongest economy in the history of the world evolved.

Fast forward to the last 60 years of the 20th century. Our country has been through a lot and many good, bad, and ugly things have come to pass. One thing for sure, we have evolved an ever-larger government and have built layer upon layers of a safety net (yet the gap between were we are and where the left-most among us think we need to be remains huge). We have reached a point where 60% of us are net beneficiaries of the incredible and ever-advancing system of income transfer and in sharp contrast to 100 years ago, only 10% of us produce food, clothing, and shelter for the rest of us. Therefore, what 90% of us do has a degree of subjectivity. We apparently do not handle leisure very well. Income transfer is not working, having 100% of our population thinking they can become white collar is wonderful politics, but is obviously not reality. We need to have a range of technical education geared to aptitude and work to restore our manufacturing base. We were able to mobilize in the two great world wars because there was something to mobilize! We have exported our ability make damn near everything to the oriental cultures who have filled our cultural void - they are now much more appreciative of the importance of science and technology, and are willing to do the same work we used to do for much lower wages. To the extent that our entire economy rests in a very fragile way upon innovation, we are quickly coming to a very very dangerous place. There are more honor students in China than there are students in the USA. China graduated 300,000 excellent engineers last year, we graduated 75,000.

None of the candidates are focusing in on the exceptionally serious situation we face over the coming decades. More income transfer (aka taxing the rich to fund goodies for the middle class) does not address the heart of the problem. Investment in the technologies of the future (including, esp energy) and seriously re-vamping the wholly inadequate K-12 education system we have are two most important directions we need to move.

Wake up America. Change will be come an empty four letter word if it does not address the most crucial issues. Our way of life is at serious risk, it is not about the left vs the right and the stupid, divisive partisan issues being ranted on here.

I just gotta say, is it any surprise that 75,000 people showed up for this idiot in Portland, Oregon -- this nation's capitol of worthless hippies, anarchists, drugged out wasteoids and general human scum? Oregon, where you aren't allowed to pump your own gas because the nanny state needs to provide jobs for the dregs.

Obama is preaching to this huge, dumb choir a message that says that people need to and should depend on the government for everything - that the answer to everyone's ills is a government program.

Obama, who in the last debate said that he would like to punish high achievers with more taxes even if it meant cutting down the amount of money collected by the government as a result. Obama, who wants to double the taxes for anyone who makes a profit on a stock or mutual fund investment.

I hope that someone will see my comment and really THINK about the government's encroaching role in our lives. The founders of this country did not want us to end up like this. Read the book ATLAS SHRUGGED for a good illustration of how a Democrat-styled shift toward socialism wrecks society and the world.

One of the things that the Democrat party has been most vocal about, especially since 1976, is that individualism is a bad thing, and the belief that no one should be allowed to achieve for themselves or make their own way. You hear things like "greater good," "it takes a village," and other such feel-goodisms. Anyone who praises such rhetoric would serve themselves well by researching the tenets of SOCIALISM, and analyze how countries run under such systems actually operate. You inevitably end up with a fascist ruling elite (USSR, modern Venezuela), seizing of private property and business by the government, and a a large oppressed population suffering with the government's inability and unwillingness to carry through on Utopian promises.

Getting back to Portland, it sure isn't the town that it used to be. All of the druggies I went to high school with ended up there. It's a depressed economy full of educated but extremely ignorant fools who believe that they should be supported by the work and achievement of others.

This news story is not news. I'm sure an equal or larger crowd gathers regularly for pot fests, drum circles and ultimate frisbee tournaments. The smell of patchouli and ass was no doubt overpowering....

The alternative was Hillary Clinton. Conservatives don't forget, Obama esentially ended Hillary Clinton's career and destroyed Bill Clinton's last chance to save/change his precious legacy.
Also, Obama is very beatable in the general election. Due to his skin color he automatically gets the black vote. Guess what, we never get the black vote anyway. But also what his color gets him is a lot of white people who usually vote democrat and will not vote for a black man. It isn't right, but it just IS. John McCain will bring in hispanics and independants as well as the people who aren't ready to vote for a black president yet. End game? MCCain wins election after getting Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

People like Hitler , Chavez, Iran etc. only see talk as weakness, while they prepare for war. Wake up everyone Obama will weaken American and only embolden these terrorists just like Neville did! It's up to us to make the right choices that will affect mankind for many years. Don't vote for Obama or you will regret it! Obama is an empty suit. He talks about change but he supports the same socialistic, nutty left wing ideas that Sen Kennedy supports. Plus, Obama is endorsed by Hamas, Iran and the dictator Chavez. If that doesn't scare you I don't know what will. If he's elected President, we're in for an attack from the terrorists for sure.

Apparently he believes we are that stupid...and his gamble may play out. Fine. We get a taller, better-spoken and more coherent Jimmy Carter. At least the river of crap he'll drag this nation through with his policies (every single one is a carbon copy of the Carter years) will lay at his party's doorstep.

You and your kids will know who to blame for the mess we'll be in four years from now, because he'll have veto-proof majorities in both houses and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

Barack Obama's own account of his life shows that he consciously sought out people on the far left fringe. In college, "I chose my friends carefully," he said in his first book, "Dreams From My Father."

These friends included "Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets" -- in Obama's own words -- as well as the "more politically active black students." He later visited a former member of the terrorist Weatherman underground, who endorsed him when he ran for state senator.

I opened this blog with a feeling of joy to see that 75,000 citizens turned out to hear an inspirational candidate, and am stunned at the stupidity, meanness, ignorance and most of all the open racism of many of you posting comments. You seem to be without any shame or education. Please know that being an eloquent speaker does not mean that you are the new Hitler, being popular does not mean that you are the next Huey Long, belonging to the Democratic party does not make you a Communist, and being non-Anglo does not mean that you hate white people.

BJ WROTE: "ggg wrote: "A testament to the vacuousness of liberalism and white guilt." Rather ironic that someone who's entire comment consisted of one sentence would refer to people listening to a political speech as "vacuous." And how can you look at a man who graduated Harvard Law School at the top of his class, who was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review, a community organizer, a university lecturer, a lawyer, an Illinois Senator for seven years, and a U.S. Senator since 2004 and just see his race? What racism and bigotry!"
1st: Concise sentence (ggg's)needed no clarification.
2nd: Your diatribe is unclear not unlike Barak's argument to be Chief Executor: What is a "community organizer?" Where are his lectures? What editorials or briefs did he write? Which cases did he litigate? Did he win or lose? Which votes did he cast in Illinois or U.S. senate "in favor?" The news should be looking into these things, but it is NOT! Very disturbing in the least.
Finally, your characterization of swooning Marxist hordes of people nodding their heads to emotional, non-detailed ideas of hope as engaged with a politician; wrong, it's just a horde of ignorance delighted with themselves for supporting a demagogue, nothing more.

Posted by: suburbanite | May 18, 2008 10:03 PM

Sorry, 75,000 to see one man who in total honest doesn't really say anything of substance? Kinda creepy. He may have some good idea's but if he did why has not really ever said them? Now before everybody gets their panties in a bunch, yes he does say he is going to do things but in extreme generalities, and to be honest it isn't much different than what Hillary is saying.

Personally, I find it amazing 75,000 can get that excited about somebody who only speaks in generalities and saying nothing of real substance. Second and to the Obama supporters I have a question and please answer it, doesn't it bother you that as a man running for President he refuses to speak the pledge of allegiance, or hold his hand over his heart when the Star Spangled Banner is played? How about not wearing the flag pin on lapel unless he is front of a group that would be offended if he didn't wear it?

Sorry guys but that sort of stuff matters, if it don't find it disturbing that the man who wants to lead your country refuses to pledge allegiance to it then that is truly disturbing in itself. To me it sounds like the hatred towards Bush and the dislike of Hillary are making many of so called Obama supporters blind. Look all three of the candidates have much to be desired, but at least we know what two of them are planning.

Posted by: Anonymous | May 18, 2008 10:02 PM

Why is talking to the "enemy" such a bad idea? If we don't understand where they are coming from and why, we will always be at odds. Remember the adage, keep your friends close and your enemies closer? The people of Iraq, Iran, and North Korea are very different in their ideologies and many other facits. If we do not try to learn from one anothers differences and try to find middle ground, we'll just be fighting more wars shoving US ideologies down their throats. Do we always have to be correct? Do you honestly think America has it ALL figured out??

Posted by: Jon | May 18, 2008 10:02 PM

Look, the youth are the future. If America doesn't have a lighting-rod like Obama to bring millions of otherwise disenchanted voters to political action, then we will continue to slide towards a nation where no one does anything to better the community.

Individuals live in societies, no way around it. So no matter what Obama does or doesn't, he has, at the very least, inspired millions to believe that they can better their place in life.

That hope translates to action. Not in a 1 to 1 ratio, but enough that more people will voice their concerns and needs, shaping our governing system positively regardless of political ideas on any side.

No matter what you believe, that kind of inspiration is vital to any civic society.

To those of you who are unwilling to let go your hate, who see the world in nothing but black vs white, us vs them, you have truly made me ashamed to call you my fellow Americans. Reading some of the bigoted comments here, one would think we were still in the 60s. Obama for all his faults is a brilliant man who is putting himself and his family unwittingly in harm's way because many of the ignorant, uneducated, close-minded, backwards-thinking, longing for the days of old people on this site wouldn't hesitate to do him harm. If you do not like the man fine, but to attack him racially, to insinuate that he got to where he is riding on the coattails on only his black supporters is as ingenuous as it is bigoted. Instead of this self-fulfilling prophecy where you feed your ignorance by watching only shows that buttress it, get out of your comfort zones, watch the BBC, travel the world and for goodness sakes open your minds. I read most of the comments here and tonight I am truly truly ashamed that you people exist. I take comfort in the fact that you are all a dying breed. Obama in many ways represents what America is going to be. Get used to it or your hate will only consume you.

The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American "progressives" in the eugenics movement.

Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on "the left" and who is on "the right." It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.

Too bad people are blinded by their ideologies.

Read the policy papers that each candidate themselves have on their websites. Then make your decisions accordingly on who you support.

Regurgitating innuendo and hearsay is ineffective and usually counterproductive because you discredit any position you advocate for.

I am for McCain, but I think the people on the far right are licking their chops to smear Obama. Really, if you believe as I do, McCain should win on policy, then let the process work without all the nonsense this time. Really, it is getting sickening being a conservative and having extremist which share similar views to myself shamelessly smear people. We need to rise above this. I hope McCain and Obama keep their extremists at bay.

Unfortunately, it seems as though many reside right here.

I miss Reagan! If Obama wins, are the leftists ready for "post racist america" and the death of white guilt. I am sure Al and Jesse will find something to whine about. It is such horrible racial tyranny here in the USA that must be why little brown people are pouring in by the millions. Help the churches take care of the needy and end entitlements. Lazy irresponsible people of any creed or color need the benefit of effective sharp hunger pangs. Forget color, Obama has promised to raise taxes, institute universal healthcare, I am tired of paying for other people's irresponsibility and stupidity. What happened to the land of the free and the home of the brave? We now live in the land of giant government sugar tit in the sky and Obama is promising a bigger one. Bush blew it, Mccain is a smooze, Hillary and Obama induce class envy, wealth redistribution,ect.

2ND TO SLAVERY THE ENTITLEMENT SYSTEM IS THE WORST CRIME EVER COMMITTED AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE IN THE USA!

It erodes the culture from within, victimizes, destroys fathers and mothers, it destroys the family and is financially breaking us.

We need real hunger pangs to humble and motivate not racial victimization and a big set of red white and blue knockers.

I don't want socialism or globalism!
I am sick of abusive taxation!
I don't want crappy government healthcare!
I am also sick of Bush's mumbling and spending.
It seems like america is dying and doesnt even know it yet.

Makes me sad


just say no to "White guilt"

anyone who loves the people for President, which i will say please vote a true Buddhist for president, someone who abhors material values, who won't allow greed to change their nature...vote Dalai Lama for President...but he won't agree for sure...meanwhile, the idiots in here think most people are racist because of skin color, that's retarded...people become racist when they see a pattern of behaviors, ask yourself why fewer whites are racist against asians, because most of us are very law-abiding and successful. When the first European came to Africa, they took blacks as inferior because they saw extreme primitive existence there, like man-eating behaviors. Same thing happened to Asia. A person was not born forming an opinion about other just because he sees a different skin color, he either looks at the past or the present behaviors of that other person...

One of the great things about Barack Obama is that he promises:

--- an end to freedom of speech given the fact that any time anyone disagrees with him his followers call you a racist or tell you shut up.

--- a new era of "dog-whistle racism" with his Pastor Wright and Farrakan at the helm,

--- the end of US military and moral strength which will allow Islamofacism or Odinga (Obama's cousin) style communism to dominate the world.(take your pick)

Judging the brain-dead far left comments posted in this thread, an Obama Presidency will bring about an era of racism, divisiveness and deception.

Well, how surprising to see post after post of lefties accusing Republicans of being bigots. Such a response from the left is, well, as sure as the sun rising in the east.

The fact is, this whole messianic love affair with obama is beyond creepy. The man has no experience, none. He's and his wife are radical left wingers who, despite the rhetoric of change, offer nothing but time-worn liberal/left nostrums to solve our problems. And his association with bigots and America haters -- Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohr, Israeili-hating professors, etc., ad nauseum -- scare the crap out of me. In a totally different context my priest said last sunday, "tell me who your family is and I'll tell you who you are." Well B.O.'s family, yes including "American is mean" Michelle Obama, terrify me. Thank God the man is unelectable.

Posted by: craig luther | May 18, 2008 9:51 PM

Would you like an example of what Obama will do to this country if he wins?

I live in Massachusetts, where a democrat (read liberal) controlled legislature has made it nearly impossible for small businesses to survive, has taxed us back to the Stone Age, has not acted upon the will of the voters by refusing to lower the income tax and refuses to vote on reinstating the death penalty, of which a majority of the citizens approve.

Thankfully, I live in Western Massachusetts. Sure, there are many areas of far-left liberals out here, but most towns are made up of middle-of-the-road, somewhat clear-thinking people.

Obama? No way. Hillary? God, I hope not.

McCain/Romney. Now that's the ticket!

Posted by: Tom in East Longmeadow, MA | May 18, 2008 9:50 PM

The problem with America is that no-one understands what Marxism even means anymore. Here are 75,000 people who are cheering for their own enslavement. Obama's message may play well with simpletons who are looking for a hand-out, but let's pray that 51% won't buy it in November.

Posted by: Kal | May 18, 2008 9:50 PM

All you mocca latte sipping, brie eating, Prius driving, left leaning pseudo socialists believe that Obama is the new Messiah who will construct a peaceful World Utopia. Drink the Kool-Aid and wait for the nightmare to begin as we are taxed into oblivion to fund more social programs that do nothing to solve the real problems.
Obama supporters always want it to be about race. If we disagree we're "racists", "bigots" and "right wing nuts".
How about Obama is a great orator but is also lying about his minister, his community organizing friends and his developer connection, not to mention a lot of other things.
Maybe us hard working people are sick of the government spending OUR money faster than we can make it on worthless social programs that don't solve the underlying problems!
Forty three years ago President Lyndon Johnson declared a "War on Poverty" Want to know how the battle is going? We've squandered TRILLIONS of dollars in the transfer of wealth yet none of those problems we faced have improved. They have all gotten worse!
Black gang members are shooting each other (and innocent people) in the streets to control the drug trade that ruins the lives of their fellow citizens. Inner city schools (Washington, DC) spend more per pupil but produce the worst results because there's no accountability. Out-of-wedlock birth rates have sky rocketed in the black community to 85%. The Democrat created welfare state separated the black family by making it illegal for the fathers of these children to live in the home in order for the woman to collect their payments. So you think money is the answer! You're fools.
You have to change hearts and minds so we don't lose any more generations to the welfare society trap that enslaves people who could be productive, self sufficient, responsible citizens.
Government DOES NOT solve problems, it creates problems. It's time to devolve the government and take responsibility for ourselves, our families and our communities. All you evolution loving, agnostic/atheist liberals don't want to acknowledge God, but last time I checked, the Ten Commandments were a pretty good measuring stick of how to live your life. Maybe if you weren't so busy trying to push God out of the public square some of these problems might actually get better. Just a thought, something some of you Kool-Aid drinkers might want to do before pulling the lever for Obama.

sunny - read it - the writer suggested obama could be beheaded because of his 'conversion' to muslim. a flurry of letters to editor pointed out that the writer was wrong.

here is a sample:

Like the Jewish legal tradition, Islamic law is a conversation represented in dynamic and diverse schools of thought. Edward N. Luttwak speaks of an essentialized Islamic law that does not exist.

Nevertheless, there is no dispute among Muslims that Islam is not an ethnic affiliation, nor is it passed through the gene pool. A Muslim parent is morally responsible for raising his or her child within Islam; children, for their part, have no legal culpability. There is no legal obligation by a child to affiliate with the Muslim community.

Islam does not consider Barack Obama ever to have been part of the Muslim community. Apostasy has no relevance here.

I haven't read all the comments but I've read enough to make me worry about the future of our country. Why do we still have so much hate and fear? When will we grow up?

Barack Obama is a Christian family man who wants to make this country better. He'll listen to the average Joe and Jane and won't be bought by lobbyists. He'll make our country safer without sending our kids to war. He'll help people go to college and improve the public schools. He'll help us get health care and lower our taxes. And he'll work with Republicans and Democrats to get these things done.

Who would have a problem with that?

folks what your seeing with this rally is the culture split that is talked about so much these days and started in Kansas MO, in the early 90's. Oregan compared to West Virginia is no comparison as far as demographics. The gape in wages, education level and standard of living are significant. The less educated folks have really been hoodwinked by the current Republican brand and this brand is in rapid decline, thank god. If you want to see what the republicans have done to our country take a close look at Kansas MO., That state is in serious decline due to the cultural neocon republicans. Their story has been duplicated across the country where republicans have had control for too long. And by the way it's the Republicans that are Fascis. Just a clue in for the many Republicans on here that keep calling democrats that ignorant name. Fascist refers to a country run by corporate interest and that is us folks, thanks to the lasse-Farie tactics of the Republicans.

If he chooses his people the way he chose his campaign people, he can make one heck of a president. Look at how the others chose theirs, and you know I'm right.

Having Just got home from this event I can honestly say it was truly amazing. As a African-American Gen Xer originally from DC it was truly incredible to be in and among such a diverse crowd. Especially the demographic that pundits continually say Obama is week in. My wife and I were surrounded by mostly women, over 60 and white men (think stereotypical biker, sans shirt with reddenning skin from the intense sun).

What was incredible was not the speech itself but the life energy of crowd in attendance. Obama's speech was the typical stump, focusing on linking McSame and Bush, and spelling out his plans for re-establishing the middle class of America.

It was a humbling experience, but I can say of those in my immediate area, all were of similar thought, the historic nature of the moment and the honest feeling that we have the power to dynamically change the course that America has been on for the past 7 1/2 years.

Also, during the Clinton years did you know that 14,000 active duty soldiers died during his 8 years? I think America is doing just fine. It is these Democrats who are bringing down the country. Look at what they have done these past 2 years? Taxpayers voting for a Democrat is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.

To Flambingo: Ask anbody what new they watch and if they tell you Fox that's all you need to know about them? Very interesting observation as all the other networks are feeding ignorant fools like yourself cool aid. You can't give one honest answer as to how Obama would make the USA a bette place to live. Are you black, poor, young and idealistic? Those are his voters. What does he stand for that isn't socialistic verging on Marxist etiology? Look under the hood dude, this guy is all hat and no cattle, He's a good spell binding orator, so was Hitler, he offers change, change isn't necessarily good. The new you read and believe tells you we have been in a recession since Christmas. I doubt you would know the definition of a recession if I painted it on your forehead. Simply, it's 2 consecutive quarters of declining GDP in a row following the proceeding positive numbers. Well the first quarter statistics are in from the CBO..53 consecutive quarters of increase since Bush tax cut were actually put in place, your guy will send us over the end into a depression with the 1.87 trillion dollar tax increase he has planned. That an additional $2400 a year in new Fed Taxes for a family of four. I challenge your ignorant mind to watch Fox news and learn something, It's ignorant voters, the vast majority that will send our country in to further socialism. Ask yourself a simple question? If Obama and Hillary's plans are so great, why are the countries of Western Europe trying to privatize as much as possible because their policies have failed. The Democratic party is filled with a bunch of guilt ridden Hollywood folk that have more money than they can spend, and people like you that don't get the realities of the economics of taation.

I don't recall President Abraham Lincoln winning with an emancipation plank on his platform.
He was pro-Uinion as were these few breakway Democrats,

"War Democrats were those who broke with the majority of the Democratic Party and supported the military policies of President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War of 1861-1865. In the 1864 presidential election, War Democrats and the Republicans jointly nominated Lincoln, a Republican, for president and nominated Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, for vice president in what was called the "Union Party" ticket."

They were on board for the purpose of keeping the Union whole not emancipation.

Once it came to outright War the Emancipation Proclamation
was enacted rolling with the troops as they occupied the south.

Anyway

Look. Racist comments are just idiotic and I'm sure many of them are fake comments written by liberals. Of course (even more pathetic) are the racist comments that people really wrote honestly, and not just to get people to react to them online.

I'm a conservative Republican, but I couldn't care less what race or sex any of the candidates are... being honest, the last 8 years of our White House haven't been great. We have done nothing to stop our biggest problem, which is illegal immigration and insecure borders, so as a Republican I can't even get upset when the Democrats look like they'll take the White House back.

I am REALLY against Hillary because of the type of person she seems to be, but if Obama wins I hope he does well, and that the country does well. I'm not going to root against any President just because they are in a different party.

Lockup the borders, be strong in the Middle East, punish criminals, and we'll all be alright.

If Florida and Michigan is not counted, this nomination is flawed and should be rejected. Obama wants to keep Florida and Michigan out which in terms of population is equal to keeping 20 states out ( like Arkansas, Kansas, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, West Virginia, Nebraska, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, Washington DC and Wyoming).
I am surprised not a single Obama maniacs are responding to this math and they are the ones with the so called "mail order degreed" supporters who drink only at Starbucks. These 2 states are more important than the 20 rigged caucus states which Obama has "won".

Oh, I love to see the Obama-haters go really crazy when they are faced by the evidence that no matter what the detractors say, the 44th POTUS will be President Barack Hussein Obama.

Yes to make your blood boil until you can't stand it, I must add that on this day, the history books are adding eveidence that Seantor Barack Obama is the political messiah (deal with it guys and gals.

The O-Train already pulled out of the station starting in Iowa January 3rd 2008 and we are off to the White House.

Please start practicing President Barack Obama and I am off to book my ticket to DC for January 2009. I hope that by then the Obama-haters will still be human

Posted by: rocky | May 18, 2008 9:44 PM

Racists are bullies and their bluff is being called. We, the majority of Americans of all colors are tired of the past. We are tired of being divided by class, by race, by politics as usual. This is an opportunity to begin to see injustice to anyone as an injustice to all, a chance to act in our interest rather than act on our prejudice.

Their are soooo many racist voices on these boards because crowds like this are telling them "its over boys", it ain't about color any more, its about whats in the interest of working people.

Peace is the ticket to prosperity.

Posted by: Hear the Fear | May 18, 2008 9:44 PM

There are 2 words to describe Obama:

Affirmitve Action

This candidate doesn't have anything close to the qualifications that we normally require of a president. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the following true?

1. Hasn't served in an executive capacity...Not even a a small business.
2. Hasn't served in a significant administrative capacity.
3. Hasn't served in the military.
4. Can't cite any personal accomplishments for the nation.
5. He is a neophyte, 2 terms in the U.S. Senate..

Now, Masses of Sheeple are going to vote for someone who for all intensive purposes isn't qualified to run a small business let alone be leader of the free world.

Now, perhaps, even promoters of affirmative action can see how the policy hurts the very people it is supposedly intended to help.

I'm not a McCain supporter...please people wake up, you've been hypnotized into going gaga over nothing.

It refreshing to see young people finally taking an interest in the future of a nation they will soon inherit. These crowds are merely illustrative of how the Bush/Cheney regime has so exploited our nation for it resources: human, tax-revenue, and environmental resources.
It is my prayer that hundreds of thousands begin showing up to be counted, assuring that on November 4th...this fall, will go to the poll and elect an American president representative of their age, hopes, dreams, and ambition...a tech-savvy, erudite, Harvard and Columbia-educated constitutional law scholar, former financial analyst/writer, and Christian.
Now, what's wrong with such a leader...particular when George W. Bush has been the very antitheses for the past eight-years? God, Initially there but upon Sen. Obama announcing his candidacy, I was so worried the vitriolic "Neocons" would once again bamboozle the electorate.
However, seeing these crowds getting larger with each passing event, well now more than ever before I'm confident that come this fall America will not revisit the mistakes of its past: not electing a president of the gravitas of Al Gore in 2000 or John Kerry in 2004!
Both the environment and globalization...over the course of the next ten-years, will confront our nation with some unique challenges: budgetary and tax-issues; replacements for retiring Supreme Court Justices; immigration, infrastructure upgrades, defense, diplomacy, healthcare, education, and labor...etcetera! The list goes on and on!
So, it would be really nice to have a President who's both articulate and smart...as well one who with grace and élan can actually pronounce "nuclear" and spell "Potato!" All of the different walls-of-divisiveness which have so tragically...courtesy of Bush/Cheney and the alternative in yet more of now "McBushian" failed diplomacy," isolated our nation both a home and abroad will have to be mended.
Of a sudden it now appears...thank God, an American electorate of Democrats, Republicans, and Independent understand and are excited that in Sen. Barack Obama will bring to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a "Google-esque CEO, Yahoo-styled CFO, and Microsoftian-styled ole-school General Counsel."
An effective leader of the free-world possessing requisite 21st-Century skill-sets to actually follow through on a rather complex mission-statement for which he would have...come Tuesday November 20th, 2009, been elected to execute with precision: preserve, protect, restore, make once again a capitalist enterprise that is debt-free as had our nation once revealed during dual administrations of former President Bill Clinton.
This absent all of the sinister, covert, and rouge-style "Bull...t" Bush/Cheney contrived to rape this great nation of it resources valuable resources...human and capital, before ultimately offering it in a "fire-sale" international auction to the cash and oil-rich sovereigns in both China and Saudi Arabia.
Strikingly, the later of which...seemingly a fetish of sorts, he so enjoy kissing on the cheek and holding hands with during long strolls...vulgarly in mannerism beneath the office of the American presidency. Then again, what would he know about that?

He also made a deal with the Teamsters to get their endorsement. (you can google what he said to the Teamsters). As a retired Teamster I say keep your hands off the Teamster Retirement Fund. So far he is out slicking slick Willy. When you think he needs those folks that voted for Hillary, he sure is kicking em. Why are they all not back in Washington solving the high cost of gas. Maybe cause they really don't care because they can readily pay the high prices of oil, food, etc.

I have read Obama's first book (written before he had any political aspirations), and am in the process of reading his second. It is quite apparent that he is not radical, nor angry, but a truly brilliant leader. He can really turn our country back to the right direction.

Very insulting as you can imagine because I believe she will win.

Anyway, they are trying to come up with a formula wherein a woman can win.

So this STUPID article comes up with a description of a woman who resembles OBAMA!

Something is VERY wrong with our Democracy when a shallow, empty vessel like Obama can manipulate a series of caucuses which are highly undemocratic and win the nomination with the overwhelming assistance of the media.

Give me a break!!!

And then to add insult to injury, they base their composite of the "perfect, winning" female Presidential candidate on this phony, shallow, manipulative and unqualified guy who is going to lose in the general if he is the nominee.

THERE ARE NO CAUCUSES IN THE GENERAL!!!!

Anyone thinking knowledgeable person who can read or study knows that Obama is very close to be a Marxist if not one already, listening to his speeches and reading his books! He is also a mixed up person or sorts in that he adopts dogma and teachings from sources like the Rev. Wright and Moss, Black Liberation dogma which is hate mongering stuff and lies regarding historical facts, Black Panther party friends, Weathermen friends and associates, Nation of Islam friends and associates, along with support from Hamas and Kenyan Terrorist leaders along with his relatives in Kenya who are also terrorist folks! I checked him out also and he is guilty of lying blatantly on 55 issues as of 2 weeks ago regarding serious issues! CAn be verefied easily. Along with all of this terrible evil baggage the man is so inexperienced he would be mixed up so much someone else would have to be rescuing him. Think about it also, on any given Sunday, he sits in Church with the REv. Wright as Rev. Moss preaching "God ..... America" sermons and dogma which has been in that church since its inception and is not just snipets! What a image for a President of the U.S.!! No, color is not the problem Mr. Obama it is your belief system and policies! Along with all of that his wife is a very angry person at the world and especially America! Fine first lady right? So, are you dumb folks going to continue being dumb and bring "hell" to our nation by putting in office a man who will not unify but divide us and cause our possible collapse? If so, I am looking for a 'CAVE' to hide in for this man is the most dangerous man in the entire U.S. today! God help us!

I find it hard to believe that so many nitwits have been drawn to this article. I'm sure they (or he/she)don't buy the paper, it still possesses some level of civility and substantive writing about it and is probably too difficult reading for them to gain any satisfaction from. But the Post should have learned to present the first comments last to discourage the kind of navel contemplates that seem to be infesting this comment column.

And that A-hole who earlier wrote what he/she considers German, du bist tatsächlich ein dreckischer, grober Menschenfeind - ein Stellvertreter von jener kranken Klasse, die die Vereinigten Staaten während den letzten paar Jahrzehnteln dominiert hast.

if you think symbolism is a bad way to run a country i guess you dont agree with what bush has been doing for the last 8 years. what do you think those blue ribbons are you see on peoples cars. what do you think 9/11 was. the american people have been played like puppets and they dont even realize it. let me ask you this. why would it be bad if obama was a muslim (which he isnt). this country has a thing called freedom of religion. i would say that the same percentage of the muslim religion are hardcore radicals (terrorist)as the hardcore radical christians i.e. kkk (terrorists) and if you say that the klan isnt a bunch of terrorists just think about this. i have never heard of a muslim raping a black girl and dragging her for 2 miles behind a truck b/c of the color of her skin

Hey Helen with ninety some percent blacks voting for Obama tell me that isn't a racial component. Do you really believe that ninety some percent of any group agree on anything. Sometimes racism goes both ways.(even though Obama is only 1/2 black) Why are you calling Republicans bigots, did you listen to Obama's pastor and the hate he spewed? Meanwhile Barak sat there and listened to it for 20 years. It is like a white canidate going to a David Duke rally. Open your eyes and stop being so naive.

Yeah good thing he didn't have intimate relations with a man...huh

Posted by: Em Cee Cain | May 18, 2008 9:35 PM

Barack Obama's own account of his life shows that he consciously sought out people on the far left fringe. In college, "I chose my friends carefully," he said in his first book, "Dreams From My Father."

These friends included "Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets" -- in Obama's own words -- as well as the "more politically active black students." He later visited a former member of the terrorist Weatherman underground, who endorsed him when he ran for state senator.

Bill Clinton was playing in the Oval Office while bin Laden planned the 9/11 attacks. Hillary says she has experience in the White House. The chef has more years than she does. She failed miserably with health care when she attempted it, and then gave up tryng. She lies - just watch when she waves her arm. Her husband used to point his finger at us, now she waves her arm. GO OBAMA. THANK YOU FOR DEFEATING HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Dan | May 18, 2008 9:35 PM

I've been a conservative republican all my life and I've listened to conservative talk radio for years. Now let me tell you why I'm voting for Obama. A year ago my great job was shipped overseas and I've since gone through all my savings. Im working at a job that mostly teen-agers work at ...and why? ...why? Well, there's something wrong somewhere. Now, when I listen to talk radio or Fox news, I have a completely different perspective. I won't say I'm liberal; I'm more moderate. And, by the way, I truly feel sorry for any racist person who hates. I have news for you haters.....we are all the same - rich, poor, black, white, male, female - we are all the same. I really think that racists have a sadly distorted self-image, and I feel sorry for them because they are truly foolish.
I am so glad so many people turned out to see Obama....he's a class act!

Posted by: LG | May 18, 2008 9:35 PM


This is a remarkably telling, and rather sad snapshot of America.

The nature of the wildly racist comments from some are beyond belief, and it does clearly show the only real concern that the right-half of America really does have - a serious racial problem.

Another poster mentioned this. I'm going to cut and paste the remarks and send them along, as I really do believe that the posts themselves are a stunning and very telling news story.

And truth be known, there's probably only one thing (another poster mentioned this) that could honestly bring the Hillary and Obama camp together.

And this is it.

Wow - I am amazed at the openly racist and stunningly ignorant comments posted against Obama and other progressives. It is as if you believe that you are actually well informed if all your information comes from talk radio and right wing blogs. Thankfully, most of us are above the "tribal" perspective, wherein our leaders must look and sound just like us in order to be somewhat trusted. Sincerely - put down the comics and read a book or two; black helicopters and Manchurian candidates are not how the government is actually run.

Obama has been a senator for 3 years. That's it. This whole Obama movement is filled with adult children who have been told their whole life that they are guilty of slavery, and they have bought it hook, line and sinker. It is all guilt. I for one, am not guilty.

Obama is not qualified, and he, his wife, 'Rev.' Wright, and Oprah hate white people, their actions and words prove that. But is okay. Black hate for whites is A-OK. I can't ask you to see, but blacks hate and will continue to hate whites no matter how much whites have done for them, no matter how much they continue to do. Too bad it is not apparent to you, but you have been lying to yourselves for decades, have fun when Obama invades Iran just like you don't think he will.

To Cole:

I read his "platform" from his official website. It says nothing except generic information. Where does it talk about his stances? Gun control? Drug legalization? Abortion? You know... hot button issues!! All he talks about are those issues that everyone agrees upon. The only difficult one he tackles is Iraq. And there... he's not experienced enough to handle it. Charisma and true leadership are two different things. I'm afraid he's not better than the alternative and actually might be slightly worse.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think the next president should be looking at an immediate 10% reduction in the government budget across the board. Why??? Because the government does a piss poor job with our money, so the less we give them, the better. Unfortunately I don't get there through either party.

We expect wayyyy toooo much from our government and to top it off our civil legal system is out of control. Until we stop the "attorney mill" that produces so freaking many of them, we won't solve that issue either. Why not allow the same number of lawyers out of law school yearly as we do doctors?

You want real change, vote something other than Democrat or Republican. So which third party am I trying to get you to vote for? That's for you to figure out, just cut with this horrible two party system. To me the two party system is like eating hotdogs or jello, both are edible, but neither of them are steak.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox.

EC, this is for you. Last time I read my Bible, it said murder was a sin, stealing is a sin, lying is a sin, fornication and adultery is a sin; however, sex between two men or between two women is taking sex out of context with how GOD intended it to be used. Also, according to the Bible, it is an abomination. Jewish dictionary defines an abomination as the worse kind of sin in GOD's eyes. Just let me know if I need to give you Bible verses, I will. EC, please explain this to me. I am not saying they aren't lots of nice people that are gay or lesbian; however, it is still wrong. I used to roughneck in the oilfields of West Texas and one of my toolpushers was Eugene Sharp from Kermit, Texas.

Ah the glory days of 1938 Germany have returned with Messianic Leader and his mass rallies with a socialist theme.

For the college educated "Intellectual" who sugguested that Conservative return to high school to review the meaning of Communism and Socialism. Review the 10 Platforms of the 1848 Communist Manifesto written by the dirty degenerate Karl Marx.
Could you elucidate us on where the American Left differs?

10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto
Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Abolition of all right of inheritance.
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c., &c.[4]

Barack belongs to a local health club in Chicago that happens to be predominately white. Who else belongs, Jesse Jackson and Oprah. Relevance, the owner of this club is politically connected and what the rest of the country doesn't understand is that Barack is a tool for the corrupt political machine in Chicago to get their hands on the piggy bank. Barack has a clean enough slate, much like a judge with few decisions, to propel forward. Once in there will be appointments that enable the continued looting of the taxpayers. Is he a nice guy probably...but the people behind him are the real sharks and you won't understand that until it's too late. Not suggesting Hillary doesn't have the same problem, but it's clear that the Chicago machine is ready to rape, rob and pillage for 4-8 years.

Obama is a powerful and positive speaker. Very light on foreign policy (i.e. invade Pakistan, the only Islamic nation with nukes). Government healthcare is equally frightening. Come to DC and watch the hoardes pour in everyday to feed off of government largess. A city that produces absolutely nothing and sucks the blood out of working people.Obama is bigger government than Bush and that is frightening. Nobama, no thank you.

Obama's idea of diplomacy is to mimic the UN when it comes to dealing with terrorists. Problem is the UN will talk to anyone (with no preconditions of course) and get no where.

Posted by: Neo-Cons Suck!!! | May 18, 2008 9:23 PM

What we know - we know Obama is not Muslim, yet we see others believe that America is still stupid, and afraid. The more they throw it around, the more we know they're losing it out of absolute desporia.

We know that for every poster who uses "Hussein", there is an attempt to steer clear of issues. America is not longer stupid.

We know each mention of "gay", they believe is to instill fear in.. someone. Truth is, any Democrat A) doesn't believe he's gay and B) wouldn't give a sh*t anyway. They seem to be able to scare each other with that one, which is kind of amusing to watch.

We know there's been no show of ideology re: Marxism, yet they will use the term, only because they know it scares each other, but don't actually know what it means.

We know we'll have Obama as our President in November, and we'll be able to finally pull the curtain on the childish games and folly that have cancered us for the past two decades.

I don't know about the rest, but watching the atomic scrambling of Republicans is actually becoming a source of amusement for me. It's like watching a kid who knows he's busted coming up with anything he can before he gets the whoopin' of a lifetime.

To my Drudge friends:

Your fears are well founded. The city of Portland represents all that you fear about Democrats and good government generally:
* Good public transit (that's how 75,000 people get downtown).
* Good schools
* Public space along clean rivers (for rallies of 75,000 people)
* Health care, HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE, etc. etc. etc.

When President Obama takes over the executive branch of the federal government, these things may even come to YOUR LITTLE SWAMP. You better keep reading Drudge and stay tuned to Fox. Keep clinging to your guns!

Posted by: Hauduke | May 18, 2008 9:21 PM

Re: gerry's comments
I'm not sure how familiar you are with the way that the Illinois General Assembly functions, but a Representative or Senator can only be named sponsor of a bill if he/she applies for sponsorship through the GA's Secretary. And a bill may only be introduced into the General Assembly with a chief sponsor. Because of the way that the legislative process is structured, the life of a bill depends very heavily upon the persistence in advocacy of not only outside interests, but also of the sponsors of that bill. A bill will not be called in committee without the presence of the chief sponsor, who is usually asked to testify on the bill's behalf. To say that Obama merely attached his name to bills as chief sponsor in order to receive credit is misleading.

Also, the bills that Obama introduced during his tenure -- including ones that sought to increase access to health care, to curtail gun violence, and to support families in poverty -- weren't for issues that were politically popular or particularly "sexy" at the time. To say that he was credited for work on issues that are obvious and widely cared about is also misleading -- as his record reflects, from his time as an organizer to his vote against entering Iraq -- his fear about standing alone is about as big as his reticence to reach across the aisle, which is to say that it isn't big at all.

I would also like to mention that Obama was eight years old when Ayers and Dohrn were members of the Weathermen. When Obama interacted with them, it was in an advisory capacity for the Woods Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the eradication of racism and social injustice in the Chicago area. The idea that Obama would collude with these people if they were in the same mindset as they were in the 70s, is patently absurd.

The crowd photo reminds me eerily of the Wiese (meadow) in Nuernberg in the late thirties and early forties. The crowds were enormous and the unified shout of "Sieg Heil" replaced the "Yes we can" by the gullible masses. I am frankly more scared of the mob mentality present in the "Reverend" Wright's church and at the Obama meetings than of Obama. I know that his presidency will last only four years and that makes me feel somewhat less anxious. Moreover, I have somewhere to escape to if it were to become necessary.

I agree with an earlier post by Tim who explains the reactions to a redistribution of wealth. Good post indeed. My family and I too will adjust and remain at the same level or better while those that are the recipients of the redistributed tax dollars will remain the same or do worse because if people receive handouts they have no incentive to apply themselves.

Regarding Michelle Obama: now there is somebody with a huge chip on her shoulder, even though she makes a huge salary, and went to the best universities despite substandard grades. Her girls are privileged to go to private schools where they are protected from the brainwashing of the government schools. More power to her, but she could show a little gratitude.

Then there are the two Americas of John Edward's! He and his family, but not his working class parents that he likes to tout often, live in the first America. Like the "Reverend" Wright, Edwards too has sufficient square footage in his homestead to take in a few of the less fortunate citizens of the second America, but I haven't heard of any. Just another example of democrat hypocrisy, but who is counting?

Only in America...you got to love it.

How well do we really know Obama? Obama, whose father was a practicing Muslim and whose mother was a radical Marxist, has stated that his mother: "Was the dominant figure in my formative years; and, the values she taught me continue to be my touchstone in the world of politics". Common sense deductive reasoning suggests that Obama's rearing as a child, and his extended 20yr relationships with anti-American fanatics such as Rev. Wright and William Ayers are in fact reflective of Obama's true psychological makeup. This man's refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin and to place his hand over his heart on the singing of our National Anthem are conditioned reflexes from his protracted association with disaffected elements in our society; visual images that Obama is certain to attempt to obfuscate in future campaign appearances. Further, Michelle Obama's angry commentary directed at our country is telling. Obama's statements that he would use Tactical Nuclear Weapons against Pakistan, while in other commentary stating that he would halt the U.S. military's development of advanced weapons systems demonstrates a profound ignorance of the geopolitical threat environment confronting America. Obama is indeed the real-life Manchurian Candidate. Greg Neubeck

Sen Obama is really an amazing candidate. A novice who came along out of nowhere (to most people), organized a remarkable campaign, raised more money than any other candidate, had more volunteers than any other candidate, brought in more new voters and more young voters than ever before and he did all this while running against the biggest political team in modern history, the Clintons.

They took him for granted, Hillary was presumptuous in thinking she would be the nominee after Super Tuesday and that it would all be over. Her camp discounted caucus states, small states, the power internet organizing, and most of all they discounted the American people's desire for a new vision of leadership. A leadership that sees unity as paramount to decision making, instead of a dictatorship. A leadership that envisions an America where we are ALL equal and all Americans.

Nothing the repugs have done in the past like their fear-mongering and divisive attacks will work any longer. They will not be the judge and jury this time around, this time we will unite to make for a better and tolerant America. God Bless

Oregon is one of the "bluest" states in the USA but it only has seven electoral votes. The previous "biggest crowd in Oregon history" gathered at the same spot in 2004 and comprised 50,000 spectators. We came there to see John Kerry. It was probably the biggest crowd Kerry had in his campaign, too. I was so pumped, and felt sure Kerry would win the White House. Well, in November Kerry beat Bush in Oregon by only four points and he lost both the popular and electoral votes to Bush.

I read many of these posts and I fear for America. Both McCain and Obama are patriots. They love their country but see things that need to change. In contrast, nationalists think loving their country means "my country right or wrong". That is what led to the Nazis and the Bolshiviks. Only morons attack political leaders personally, because morons generally do not know anything about the issues. McCain is brave in war and in legislation. Obama is smart, getting into Harvard Law on his own merits and being the first black editor of the law review. If you have achieved any of these things yourself, then you have earned the right to rant unthinkingly but, curiously, such people do not rant. If you love America, talk about the issues. Perhaps we should start with education, as it seems that is sorely lacking. My respect to those of you who have been measured and informed in your statements.

Posted by: mbj | May 18, 2008 9:13 PM

I encourage readers to get past the name calling and threats by the lastest posters and read the intelligent comments from the earlier posters. I'm a "baby boomer" who will be voting for Obama, along with my 20 something daughters and 62 year old husband. I've done my homework on the candidates, which apparently the name-callers have not; unless you consider listening to Limbaugh, Hannity, or the other hate-mongers. I've read Obama's books, attended an Obama/Clinton rally, and have a pretty clear idea of his message. No, I'm not easily swayed, but I do believe that Obama knows he can't do this alone. I know that one of his favorite books is a biography of Lincoln, mainly because Lincoln was not afraid to select cabinet members, etc., who were the best at what they did, regardless of political party. Obama is a very intelligent man. It is clear that his idea of change has more to do with getting rid of the corruption in Washington. His most important piece of legislation has to do with that. He is doing well in this election despite the efforts to tear him down with guilt by association, and the fact that he is running against the Clinton machine. Unfortunately, people who lack his intelligence resort to names like fascist, Hitler-like, etc. This country is tired of the Rove-like politics. Scaring this country into electing someone like George Bush (twice!!) should have taught us a lesson. Listen to what he is saying and read what he has written and what his hopes are for this country. The last line in "The Audacity of Hope" talks about his love for this country. No, I'm not easily fooled, but Obama has the right ideas for this country.

Posted by: Shirley | May 18, 2008 9:13 PM

Posted by: RAT Poison | May 18, 2008 9:13 PM

I was in Portland in the crowd today. I had no intention of going or of supporting Obama but decided to see what all the fuss was about. I am extremely jaded when it comes to politics and in the ability of most politicians to make a positive difference. I had already decided to cast my vote another way until I heard him speak. I walked miles in line to get in. I saw exactly three cops and no secret service there (although I am sure they must have been somewhere). There were no fights, there was an air of peace and hope that I have never seen in any one place anywhere. While this is not the place to discuss such things there were some amazing spiritual things that happened around me while I was there. That was not expected at all. And now I have to say that although I liked the other candidate that I was planning on voting for I MUST vote for Obama. Because it was the first time in a long time that I truly believed that a real shift could happen in this country, that the people who are the foundation of this country- the working man- could be supported and that we could have the kind of country that was the intention of our founding fathers. And I will support him as a proponent of the kind of change that this country so desperately needs. I know that this also will be an unpopular thing to say in some groups but I have read the various things that are said about him and his non-religious (or varied religious depending on who you ask)background and I realized for the first time that this is EXACTLY what this nation needs. With a mother who was an anthropologist and an appreciator of people's various cultures and beliefs, he is someone who could truly represent and lead this nation in a way none of our previous presidents could.

Check this out! It was just leaded that Obama was arrested in 1983 for peeing on white people's graves! Yah! Seriously! AND it turns out that he had eye-socket sex with pigeons in the middle of a public park! He also spent five winters clubbing baby harp seals, and using their blood for warpaint before beheading cute little koala bears with his frigging teeth! And you want this guy as our president? Drudge has photos of him IN Minnesota, two weeks before the Minneapolis bridge collapse. Coincidence? I think not. These aren't rumors. I also found out today that Obama has a breast on his back, and he can't grill very well. He has a private room in his 500 million square-foot mosque that houses 3000 photos of Farakkhan and Santa. AND he's a pedophile. And he.. um... doesn't brush his teeth on some nights. And he did some other bad stuff. And he's not as tall as he says.

How can we have this guy as President!!! Cut and paste this to every Republican!

hypocrite... GOD DAMN AMERICA!!!

Never heard any of that! "even relating his salvation experience." What salvation?? He needed the votes!! LIER!!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- As Tuesday's presidential primary in Kentucky nears, Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama is using advertising that hammers home the fact that he is a Christian.In addition to radio and television ads that began airing this week, a handbill is being distributed that deals entirely with the Democratic presidential candidate's religion - even relating his salvation experience.
Obama spokesman Clark Stevens said the ads are simply meant to "introduce Kentucky voters to Senator Obama. We want people to know what is important to him, and a large part of that is his Christian faith."One radio ad features Kentucky Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo saying, "As a strong Christian, Barack's always stood up for people. After college he worked with churches to help communities and families left behind when local plants closed, passing up big jobs on Wall Street."Another features Rep. Ben Chandler, D-Ky., who says, "A Christian, Barack's first job was with churches helping communities left behind when local plants closed."And in a television ad, a narrator says, "Through his service as a community organizer and his Christian faith, he came to believe in something larger than himself."The handbill calls Obama a "Committed Christian" and has a picture of him standing in a pulpit with a large cross behind him.

I'm hopeful EVERY time we elect a new president. Then the disappointment sets in. I was disappointed in the 90's with Bill, but I'm most disappointed now with George. I was struck today when Hillary kept saying "we need a president that will...." and then filled in about 20 different things. Why didn't we have one in the 90's that did all those things, Hillary? Nothing would change with her in office. Now I'm hopeful again. Obama inspires hope: hope that he's not a puppet, already bought and sold. But I'm most hopeful that he actually might turn this huge ship around and send us in another direction.

But he promises "Hope" and "Change" meanwhile is pastor spews garbage. This country is in trouble. Liberal white guilt, political correctness, bias media and a ninety some percent black support (tell me that isn't racial)will sink US. He is less qualified then Hillary or John McCain. If he wasn't black (or is he half white?) we wouldn't be talking about him.

"We must realize that our party's most powerful weapon is racial tensions. By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party. In America we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites, we will endeavor to instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negros. We will aid the Negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the Negro will be able to intermarry with the whites and begin a process which will deliver America to our cause."

a number of people have asked "what happened to america to bring about such divisive and angry language" whenever a story about Obama appears. That's an easy on to answer: Karl Rove happened. The "republican revolution" happened and the media followed suit.

Divisiveness sells ad time on air, and it sells ideology. Don't let 'em take your guns. Don't let 'em take your jobs. If you don't wear a flag pin (made in China) you're a commie. the simpletons (yes, I'm calling many of you 'stupid' right now) can't discern nuance from nationalism. that's how we get where we are now.

Look at what the criminal Bush regime has gotten away with. They got away with only because of the culture of cowards in Washington meaning both dems and repubs allowed Bush to do as he pleases. Learn to spell and truly understand 'FASCISM' because it alive and well in America. And no president regardless of party will will turn this country around. It's too late, CORPORATE AMERICA calls the shots. Get used to it because the day is coming when Americans will swim the Rio Grande to pick veggies in Mexico.

This war has more than two sides. Bush didn't bother to learn about Iraq. McCain STILL doesn't know the different warring factions in Iraq, without his muse Leiberman whispering in his ear. Obama had the foresight to predict this can of worms. Did McCain? Did Clinton? Thanks to Bush's preemptive, ill-planned invasion, we have presently in Iraq: al Queda (wasn't in Iraq before the invasion); the Shiites fighting each other, as well as the Sunni, and the Kurds -- all vying for power. And of course, now that Saddam's gone, along with his nonexistent WMD, the door is wide open for Iran. Thanks George! Fine mess you are leaving for President Obama. But, I trust his judgement.

I read some of these comments and I just can't believe what I am hearing. We will see what Barack Hussein Obama does for this country. I love to listen to liberals who think they are so smart and so well educated. Last time I looked it was the liberals who are destroying this once great country. Lets look at what the liberals have given to this country: 1. Liberals are in favor of gay marriage, wanting to destroy families as the family has been identified from the beginning of time; 2. Abortion. In any given week they are thousands more children killed by abortions than have been killed in both Iraqi wars; 3. Want to weaken the military, we will defeat our enemies with words, yeah sure we will; we wasted all those young men/women in the American Revolution, WWI/WWII; they died for nothing, we could have talked the British out of taxation/oppression, we could have convinced Hitler that war was futile, the Jews were really GOD's chosen people; 4. Want more taxes to levy programs for people who either don't want to work or are here illegally; 5. Want me to feel guilty for the treatment of the blacks in past generations, well, I can't do anything about the past; however, let me throw this in for good measure; I have never treated anyone unfairly as a teacher, but I have been treated unfairly because I was white teacher teaching in a black school; 6. Liberals control the media and determine what is reported; as a person with two masters, I can assure you that 99% of my professors were democrats and extremely liberal. Now, look at the educational system and tell me it is better. 7. Liberals want the religion out of our schools, but when you take GOD out, something else will come in; school shootings, teachers abused, teachers having sex with their students, etc.; 8. Gun control; liberals want our guns taken away so they can force their views on us; 9. and last but not least, they want to punish Christians for their belief in GOD. I urge anyone to argue with me on these statements. It can easily be proven. By the way, I am 45 yeas old and at one time was the most liberal guy in the world in certain things, but I have seen what people like Ted Kennedy, Charles Schumer, Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, Cindy Sheehan and others like them have done to our country. Oh, I take great offense at one reader who said that conservatives are not very intelligent. No, your the one who is very intelligent if you are a liberal.

Never have so many said so much about one who has accomplished and said so little. There are two politicians over the years that have always been sort of above the rest because of their integrity and experience. Those two are John McCain and Joe Lieberman. Joe was on the Democratic ticket just 8 short years ago. My how far the once great Democratic party has fallen. I don't ever recall such a clear difference in candidate credentials. Come on you Democrats abandon this know nothing before you make jackasses out of your self.

For all you Iraq war lovers-I think a bill should be passed that everyone who supports war in Iraq should send a family member or two to fight. And, that ONLY the senators or congressman who support the war-ONLY in their district should the soldiers be from.
Then you can put your blood and flesh where your mouth is.
Oh, and for the selfish people who make 200 grand or more a year and do not want to pay the same amount people paid in the Clinton years, and who want to give their children a huge deficit, SHAME ON YOU.

I read many of these posts and I fear for America. Both McCain and Obama are patriots. They love their country but see things that need to change. In contrast, nationalists think loving your country means supporting even the wrong things. That is what led to the Nazis and the Bolshiviks. Only morons attack politicians personally, because morons generally do not know anything about the issues. McCain is brave in war and in legislation. Obama is smart getting into Harvard Law on his own merits and being the first black editor of the law review. If you love America, talk about the issues. Perhaps we should start with education, as it seems that is sorely lacking.

"And what's of the greatest pleasure right now is the fact that more than 65% of sub-40 voters are now Democrats. Hmmm... what does this mean?"

It means nothing, youth have historically been Democratic Voters, when they actually were motivated enough to go the polls that is. Many Democratic voters become Republicans later in life as their own income increases such that they no longer buy into the class warfare the Dems live off of (get votes from the poor and lower middle classes by blaming their position and struggles on the upper and upper middle classes), and begin to support the Republican positions on lower taxes and less regulation. Their switch also comes from having children who they want to be raised in a secure, safe US - which makes them no longer idealistic Utopian anti-war MoveOn.org voters but voters who are concerned with a strong national defense (which whether you agree or not, has been a winning issue for the GOP for decades) and who they want to be raised in a values-based society, again a winning issue for the GOP over the last 3 decades (whether true or not). Lastly, they begin to get their own perspective rather than just relying on the liberal indoctrination that occurs at most US universities currently.

Now, is this probably a Dem year, and is Obama the Vegas best bet to win the White House, absolutely, but viewing the fickle, non-committal American youth as the sure-fire future of Democratic Party success is to ignore history of voting patterns over the years. The next down cycle will be blamed on the then-current party in power, the Democrats, and there will be a 2nd 1994, just as there will be another 2006 Democratic swing in our lifetimes as well. The CURRENTLY motivated youth will be the pi$$ed off swing voting independents voting against the Democrats in a not-too far off election.

Reading what people have posted here is very sad.. What happened to America for us to have this kind of bigotry, racism and ignorance? Has the Education System failed us completely?

It's like talking to a group of 2 year olds. You can't even rationalize with these people because they already know everything there is to know about everything.

They know that Obama is a Muslim even though he has never been one, and has worshipped in the same Christian church for 20 years.. They know Obama is a socialist because he supports Universal Healthcare, even though Richard Nixon and Harry Truman have supported Universal Healthcare efforts. They know Obama would appease terrorists like Iran's President because JFK and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon negotiated and talked to the Soviet Union and other nations we considered our "enemies". They know that Obama is a racist because he only wins states with huge Black Populations like Iowa, Wisconsin, Vermont, Maryland, Kansas, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming all of which have overwhelming Black Populations.. (that is sarcasm for those who don't realize that those states are largely white)

I mean these kind of irrational statements just show the level of ignorance and unfounded bigotry that some people have.. And it seems that they only show themselves in these anonomous online posts.. Can you imagine the embarassment they would feel if their friends, family and neighbors knew the kinds of racist, bigoted and ignorant things they really said.. Really I feel embaressed for them..

Rush to judgment, do some research about Obama before making claims about Obama's "spectacular" record in the Illinois Senate See below:
Obama's Resume:
Experience:
Obama's accomplishments in the state Senate for 6 years was zero. Obama spent his time getting into the good graces of people like Rezko and Ayres in order to financially benefit his future in politics. When Obama asked Emil Jones to make him a federal Senator than Obama started to show some accomplishments. However, those accomplishments included Emil Jones, President of the Illinois state Senate, appointing Obama the head of every piece of high-profile legislation in sight to pad his resume. Jones pushed aside all the senior state senators who had been working on bills for years and gave the credit to Obama by naming Obama as sponsor. Bottom line after six years of doing nothing in the Obama's 7th and final year as a state Senator, his record went from zero accomplishments to being falsely credited for the sponsorship of 26 passed bills. None of which Obama worked on or fought for!
This is what Obama is doing in the US Senate as well, look at his record, it is zero. Except of course, when it comes to getting earmarks for his wife's employer passed for the University of Chicago Hospitals, where Michelle Obama was vice president of community affairs. Michelle had already benefited ... Senate to $316,962 in 2005 just after he took office.
Obama's associations:
Here's a quick run-down of some of Barack Obama's questionable and disturbing associations:
* Rabidly anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi. The Obamas were regular dinner guests at Khalidi's Hyde Park home for years.
* Terrorist sympathizer Ali Abunimah, who runs the viciously anti-Israel web site Electronic Intifada.
* Unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
* Reverend Jeremiah Wright. What more needs to be said?
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Samantha Power -- fired after calling Hillary Clinton a "monster."
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Robert Malley -- fired when it was revealed he has been holding talks with Hamas.
* Hatem El-Hady, former official of the Hamas-linked charity Kindhearts, closed by the Justice Department. El-Hady's web page--with Michelle Obama listed as an opt-in "friend"--suddenly vanished from the Obama campaign site with no explanation, after being exposed by LGF and others.
* Tony Rezko -- a Chicago fixer currently in a whole lot of legal trouble.
*Raila Odinga, who recently ran for president in Kenya, promising to impose Sharia law if elected.

There is still a basic sanity to the majoirty of people in America. They have not rammed pro-life agaend through, prayer in school,or any other non-issue. But while the republicans divert attention with non-issues they turn the econmic screws down on the easily manipulated folks I see here posting hate and ignorance.

Here is why I am against Obama.

In 1997, I lived in a 3rd world country that have very few comforts. In ten years, that country's Per Capita GDP went from $3,000 to surpassing the $21,000 in my hometown in California last year.

That is a 70% annualized growth rate per year.

Their society (Estonia) remarkably free. The government was minimal.

I strongly believe American should adopt a freer economy modeled after Ireland, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Estonia, Luxemburg, or Dubai.

This is what Estonia did. I was there when they made the decision.

Little government and no taxes.

Obama wants to raise taxes. He will have our economy modeled after the UK, Germany, Japan, France and Mexico which have inferior economic growth rates and economic models.

More than 50% of the USA's GDP is government spending now. This is the problem. If Obama becomes president, we will get percentages similar to dismal governments.

The problem that we encounter now is that both candidates believe in big government. One wants enormous government and the other wants big government.

If you want a candidate that wants a good economy, you ought to vote for McCain or Libertarian.

I have not decided yet, but voting for Obama is like jumping from the frying pan and into the fire.

Both of his parents had parents that were the same race as far back as records go. He therefore is not Black as that would be an acceptance of racism as just as he is half balck he is half white. No more no less. No other argument is acceptable without being racist. He is also an extreme leftist.

You may not support McCain's position on the issues. That's fine. You may not like the man. That's fine.

But to libel and slander the military career of a man who was shot down by a surface to air missile, and who spent 6 1/2 years being tortured when he was offered his freedom, but who refused to allow his father's position as CINPACFLT to secure his own release over those captured before him, and who to this day is partially crippled by those torture sessions, is nothing short of despicable.

I despise liberals. I mean I really, really despise liberals.

Forgive them Lord, they know not what to do.

Reader, if you are smart, whether Left or Right, there is wisdom in procuring a one to two year supply of survival rations and equipment for each member of your family.

A nation divided can not stand.

From Bondage to Bondage

When the 13 colonies were still part of England, Professor Alexander Tyler wrote about the fall of Athenian (democracy ) over 2,000 years previous to that time:

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. it can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. The nations have progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith,
from spiritual faith to great courage,
from courage to liberty,
from liberty to abundance,
from abundance to selfishness
from selfishness to complacency,
from complacency to apathy,
from apathy to dependency
from dependency back to bondage."
Circle of Democracy

The Republican Party in America is intellectually bankrupt. The Republican Party killed true Conservatism. What is left is a bunch of activist wingnuts trying to undermine democracy in the name of Conservatism. Barry Goldwater would be rolling over in his grave at the present cast of characters who forget that they are part of the same country of people who largely disagree with their policies. America can do better than to install legacy candidates who are the children of privilege. In a true meritocracy, W Bush and McCain would not graduate from YALE or the Naval Academy, much less be in a position to become President of the United States.

Dawn wrote "Obama sucks!" Wow, Dawn, excellent political analysis. We'll all have to go back and rethink our support of Obama in light of that.

afgail whote "How many know about Obamas[sic] attempt to steal the Indiana primary election?" No one because it's an allegation you made with nothing to back it up. Just more right-wing smear.

ggg wrote: "A testament to the vacuousness of liberalism and white guilt." Rather ironic that someone who's entire comment consisted of one sentence would refer to people listening to a political speech as "vacuous." And how can you look at a man who graduated Harvard Law School at the top of his class, who was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review, a community organizer, a university lecturer, a lawyer, an Illinois Senator for seven years, and a U.S. Senator since 2004 and just see his race? What racism and bigotry!

Gentlemen,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your continued work. Unfortunately we've just learned that Democrats are, in fact, quite a bit more educated than us, and don't seem to be falling for the typical Republican BS.

I'm sure you've now seen the term "trolls" abound. In effect, it would appear that the more try to push this "Obama is a big, dumb, racist, Marxist gay fella, the more they figure out that we haven't got a damned thing, other than we just don't like the idea of some black guy running for President. Okay.. so here' what we do. We... um.. we keep repeating Marxist, and.. no. Okay. That's not working at all, is it? Okay... let's say things like - he hasn't accomplished anything in the... what? Wow. Apparently he has a pretty spectacular voting record in the Illinois senate. So maybe that won't work. How 'bout that Wright guy? That didn't do a damned thing? Son of a... okay... we'll call his supporters gay! What do you mean it doesn't both them? How can they like people that aren't like them? This doesn't make any sense. Next thing they'll think of women as equals. What? They do? Oh Jesus. We're screwed.

Everyone meet at my place tonight. We need a plan B.

You repubs are showing your secret playbook to the public. First you make something up then attack it. You say Obama thinks he is the Messiah yet he never said or acts in that manner. You constantly show that facts are the least important part of an argument. Just yell louder be more rude or evoke the emotions that lead to fear or prejudgice feelings. The man had his ecomonic plan up on his website a year ago but you say he doesnt have one. He has explained his plans for change in minute detail over and over but you say he doesnt have one. The jig is up boys!!!
I have to say I'm impressed with how many different ways you can come up with saying you wont vote for him. Marxist racist(against half of himself I guess lol) Hitler references, cult leader the list goes on. Thus goes the great american game hide the racism. You wanna play? lol Grow some nutz under your sheets and say a black dude in control of your country makes you uneasy. Is that so hard to do?
25% of your beloved West Virginians said that race was a factor in their voting. How racist do you have to be to be able to tell a complete stranger that you dont like someone simply because they are part Negroid. I bet thats the word they used. LOL
McCain is actually a disaster when held under a microscope. They just last week started serving him questions instead of cupcakes with he favorite sprinkles and look what happened. Its a flipflopalalluza and lobbyist under every rock. How is that in your best interest. Its like you saying to yourselves if we elect McCain at least we wont have a negro, well part negro in the white house. Ahh what a feeling. Imagine if he had 2 black parents then he'd really be catching hell LOL How about you all get together and half of you agree to vote for him due to his mothers side of the family. Nope cant do that she's one of those N lovers that you hate. Well nevermind just continue spouting your hatred obviously no one is listening. You lost in Mississippi LOL I repeat you lost a republican seat in Mississippi in a district that is 65% republican.

To all right-wingnuts:

Just like your idol, Kevin James, who did not know what the word appeasement meant, you should actually READ a book about fascisim or Marxism before accusing Obama of supporting those ideas.

But, of course, most of you are not interested in learning what those ideas really are. It is much safer for you to throw out your usual rhetoric.

The Republicants could not even come up with an original slogan. In an attempt to play off of Obama's "change" message, they tried to use "The Change You Deserve" - a slogan already trademarked for an anti-depressant medication. Very appropriate.

All slogan, no substance - should be the Conservatives new slogan.

Hurl your labels. They are meaningless. I see through YOU and YOUR CANDIDATE!

I also recognize Marxism and the approach of oppression when I see it.

I bet our military troops on the ground are looking forward to President Obama - who actually has a clue and cares what they are going through and is supporting the 21st Century GI Benefits Bill. Bush and McCain are AGAINST updating GI healthcare and education benefits. They say it's too expensive and will discourage reenlistment. How about this? The IRAQ WAR is what's discouraging reenlistments. But the Bush administration has a back-door draft policy...it's called stop-loss. That's why our troops are being burned out on 2nd, 3rd, 4th tours of duty.

There is nothing great about this country any longer - nothing. The greatness was replaced by greed. And the downward slide has been fueled by those purposely inciting the fears and hatred of the ignorant to act immorally. They are not underrepresented in the dialogue above.

Reading this thread confirms that the people who make up the country now are small and not deserving of better government. It was a grand experiment which failed for this very reason. You have allowed it to die for petty reasons, arguments produced daily by evil men with evil agendas. We all believed the Constitution could weather these attacks, but it has not and can not. The power amassed now by these people is simply unassailable and they and their children will never relinquish it.

The shared delusion has been that once it gets bad enough, the populace will rise and force change. But the mind of the populace is controlled by those with vested interests in perpetuating the current structure despite terminal abuses.

Obama's greatest task is convincing himself that any of us Americans are worth his time and effort. He'd be wise to walk away now instead of risking his life for such as we.

Posted by: Anonymous | May 18, 2008 8:52 PM

Wow, some of these post were very thought provoking. Others were immature and childish on both sides! Yes, we have ideological issues facing this country, but a lot of it stems from the insistence to call other Americans names like Hitler, racists, or fascists. Enough already! One of the best things about this country is that we are all able to have opinions about things. But just because that opinion clashes with yours doesn't doesn't mean that someone is evil, mean or a horrible person. They are just people! Knock it off!

As a Christian, I'm personally sick about this political season because I see the divide in the country getting wider because both sides will not see each other as human. Additionally, I see too many who will blindly follow political leaders who stand for themselves, not us! Neither Obama or McCain speak for me, my viewpoints or my faith. They are rich, career politicians. They are in it for themselves. Neither is a statesmen like Kennedy, Washington, Lincoln, or King Jr. (not a politician, but someone who put others before self...). So I'm not willing to look down upon my fellow human for someone who will ultimately let me down. I believe in the people of this country, not our politicians. This country is still great, in spite of them.

Yes, this sounds negative, but it's not intended to be. I just believe we need to begin caring for this country and one another, not our politics. Treat people like people, all have value, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, male, female, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, non-believers and everyone else.

As for my vote, I feel like I'm either going to get kicked in the head, or kicked in a more painful place...either way I'm preparing for a kick!

I fear for my country, because I know that God is just.

Obama is making truly great promises that are worthy of strong consideration, and hope. Unfortunately however, I still see them as consisting mostly of fluff and inspiring, patriotic statements that lack the real substance it takes to fulfill them. If he ever fails to deliver the goods, it will tear this country apart. I realize there's really no better contender for the presidency, but if he doesn't keep his words... It's going to be devastating to the population. I think we can all agree on that.

Unfaithfulness in public service is the greatest of crimes. If Obama's supporters really cared about what he intends to do, they should demand the WHAT and the HOW of it, and not simply settle for the hollow phrases of hope and change...

Just one man's opinion.

Looks like a lot of the lib postings support the lib stereotype of "uninformed." Their own leaders tell us they're lazy (don't have jobs and have to receive handouts), stupid (don't know how or where to vote), and can't do anything for themselves (still in trailers years after a hurricane). Guess that last one falls under "lazy."

Toby,

Marxist? Do you mean that Obama espouses the labor theory of value? That he denounces the jejune "socialism" of Proudhon? That he subscribes to the Theses on Feurbach?

What on earth, please, are you talking about?

Posted by: The Secret Sharer | May 18, 2008 8:50 PM

I have not found where Obama has run for office on anything but hope and change. Anyone running on that would get at least 33% of the vote, just for showing up. I do consider comments by his pastor and wife as important when determining a person's character.

I too am in my 40's and can count hundreds of times in my life where I was proud to be an American.

The Christian Church I attend continually references The Bible. It doesn't talk black vs white vs brown vs yellow. It does mention admitting that you're a sinner. It brings up repenting from those sins. It also states something about accepting Jesus Christ as your savior.

In fact I heard a rumor that a white guy was elected as the head of NAACP, now if that is true, wow, what progress.

Globe - Obama Caught Up
In Gay Murder Probe
New Obama Scandal
5-9-8

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is tangled up in a gay-murder probe as insiders ask: How much does the Democratic candidate really know about the shooting death of the choir director at his controversial Chicago church? Our blockbuster Special Report reveals shocking charges of a link between gay murder victim Donald Young and Obama - and a private investigator's stunning claim the choir director was killed to silence him. It's must reading - only in GLOBE!

Sean - Yeah, he'll just bring the war right back onto our homeland. He'll pull all of the soldiers out just in time to send them right back when we are attacked on our own soil. Don't pretend to think that his "plan" to end the war quickly will work. Terrorists will swarm to Iraq when the Americans are gone. They will establish a completely terrorist state and they will plan and carry out attacks around the world unopposed. Don't come back saying "they wouldn't be there if it weren't for Bush" who cares, they are there now and they aren't going to turn around and go home and be peaceful just because we leave Iraq.

Just because someone is popular doesn't mean he's qualified. His popularity is evident inthe places where all socialist liberals are usually popular in. He's arrogant, elitist, socialist, spoiled, impatient and very, very egotistical. He's nothing new or refreshing. George Bush's percieved unpopularity is a creation of the general media and hollywood's non-stop attack on him from day one. Liberals
think they're independent minded and original when really they repeat almost word for word what the liberal media and hollywood wants them to believe. If George
Bush was that unpopular than how was he re-
elected? The longer Obama is out there the
less appealing he becomes to voter who are
not already brainwashed by the media.

You honestly think that throwing out the keywords like "Hussein, Marxist, Racist, Hitler.. blah, blah, blah" is going to sway anyone with the cerebral capacity to tie a shoe let alone cast a vote? Honestly?

And what's of the greatest pleasure right now is the fact that more than 65% of sub-40 voters are now Democrats. Hmmm... what does this mean? It means you're going to lose in November, and it means that Republicans aren't going to get so much as a nap in the Lincoln bedroom for at least twenty years. Twenty years!

That's all great but "HELLO" who do you think is going to pay for all this. YOU AND ME THAT IS WHO. He's way to liberal for this country and look at the things he says he is going to do they are a carbon copy of what Jimmy Carter was running on and this country was in a mess.

Obama's call for "hope" and "change" is nothing more than the failed and tired old ideas of Karl Marx. In a nutshell, Obama is advocating higher taxes, big government and lots more government workers telling everyone how to run their lives. Not to mention giving Iraq over to Al Qaeda when Obama surrenders thus pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory. Don't buy into it.

I know the far left loves to call President Bush a failure. However, in defense of President Bush, he came into office during a mild recession. Shortly after 9/11 happened followed by Katrina. Most economists agree that President Bush's tax cuts actually helped the economy recover during these difficult times. However, any dynamic economy will continue to go though many ups and downs unless the dead hand of government takes over and the economy spirals down until it hits bottom and never recovers. This is because, the more money that goes into government the less money there is in the private sector for people to freely spend their money on. Money that can be used to create jobs, new technology, products and services. In contrast, money in government is used primarily to pay for a top heavy bureaucracy of unelected elitists who sit around all day telling everyone how to run their lives. Not to mention the money that goes into the pockets of a bunch of corrupt boot lickers that hang around the politicians. That's what Obama is calling for when he talks about "change" and "hope". In a nutshell, Obama is advocating higher taxes, big government and lots more government workers telling everyone how to run their lives. That is what Obama is selling. Don't buy into it.

Obama is a half white half black american. This does not make him a Blackman. He choses that. He is however also an extreme left wing zeolot. Obama has the most leftist voting record in the Senate. It would be far more extreme if the legislation was presented in that manner. He has a very good ability to speak publicly but, his Marxist/fascist leanings and anti-Constitutional efforts will be very evident to America if he is elected. Obama believes in income and wealth distribution. he is a strong anti-2nd Amendment proponent. His most undesirable aspect is his ability to hide his true political and economic beliefs.
Barack Obama is the most dangerous prson to be this close to the White House in a very long time.
If he is elected, you will enjoy your enslavement.

Posted by: magnacarta | May 18, 2008 8:45 PM

Dusty or ok? If you opened your mind up a bit, you would see that we started the war in Iraq so that they could all just walk there to die instead of getting on a plane and crashing it into your neighborhood or sniping you from on top of a building. We have strategically initiated the battle there so they could die close to home. This war by pure numbers is pretty damn efficient as well. Like 3326 American soldiers lost VS around 200,000 enemy. I love my country and I proudly serve her today. Thank God that they are being put in their grave over there instead of me having to check for sniper fire before I put my daughter on the school bus. Oh, wait if America was like them my daughter wouldn't be able to go to school.

Yes, he probably will be president. Yes, we will become toilet paper to the world. Thousands dying in earthquakes and cyclones will be nothing compared to the bloodshed he will bring about in this country.

Posted by: Laugh at Libs | May 18, 2008 8:41 PM

If the rally was well publicized and open to the public, then it would explain the numbers, not for Obama himself, but for a chance to see a presidential candidate in person.

I am 68 years old and live in the Chicago area. Never once was there a chance to see a presidential candidate. I received no invitations to $5,000 a plate dinners. I was not attending a school where a candidate was to speak. I did not hear of any roadside restaurant, nursing home or church where a candidate would appear. I might have seen one driven in a car in a parade by chance, but no luck there either.

It seems to me that Obama has a very well-oiled publicity team, but publicity teams don't run a country. The team created a happening where the general public got to see a presidential candidate other than on television. Obama may not use lobbyists, but his promotion team sure has a future in corporate America.

you idiots can flap your gums here all you like, but if you say anything that smacks of truth it gets deleted in minutes.

Obama is just another zionist sock puppet like Hillary, Bush and McCain. It doesn't matter who wins the election -- the entire dog & pony show only exists to make you believe you have some influence over your own destiny.

the entire congress, senate, and white house can go back and forth from liberal to conservative, or from Republican to Democratic but the country keeps following the same old path toward fascism. Wake up and smell the coffee, you fools.

This debate about not speaking to the enemy is ignorant. Reagan spoke to Iran(Iran Contra), Rumfeld spoke to Hussein, Bush spoke with N, Korea, the list goes on, James Baker was very much for speaking to the "enemy", Gates and Rice currently advocate this stragety. Obama is on track and when has not talking to the enemy gain us anyting. Can any body give an sucess story resulting from not speaking to our enemies? Note speaking to the ememy is weak, lazy, and stupid. Keep your friends close and the enemy closer.

If you look at Obama's resume. you see aman who reads a speech well but no substance or credentials. This was okay until his mentor Rev. Wright said that white people are black people's problem because white people hate black people. Black people would vote for Farrakhan if he was running because he is black. White people vote for Obama because he guilts them into voting for him. He attended Farrakhan's million man march. He is pro black and anti white which his wife confirmed with her statements. Even Hillary said he had no credentials.

Well here's the fun part.

They've tried pretty much anything. Every floundering, panicking Repug on this side is fully aware that this is all but over.

Seems the talking points (God what happened to Republican marketing?) are nothing more than "Umm... racist! He's Hitler! Yah. And he's a black panther, and a biker, and he knocked off a 7/11 as a kid, and he's... um communist, Hitlerian, racist, Hitler.. black panther guy! Do we have anthing to support this? Um... no. But we need something here... we're fried come November."

Yup. You are.

You don't like it? Move to Canada. Oh.. wait. They've already progressed. Move to Sweden! Nope. They've already moved past the 50's too. Okay... Norway? Uh uh. UK? Nope. Japan? Nopers. Australia, France, Italy, Switzerland? nnnnnope.

Sorry. the US was the last one on the shelf to progression, and now we're at the tipping point.

Democrats have a higher percentage of college graduates and a less percentage of high school dropouts than the republicans. Whos the idiot now?

To Brad - The majority of us Republican do realize that the last 8 years haven't been the best. We realize that it is time for a new president. We realize that people are tired of paying so much for gas and groceries ... but we also realize that throwing a young, inexperienced senator with wildly radical ideas are not going to change a thing.
Contrary to popular belief, John McCain is not just another version of George Bush. The Media and Obama would have everyone believe such, but it is just not true. I am sick of liberals blaming all the woes of the nation on Bush. They refuse to accept that things happen. Could Bush have done anything differently? Probably so ... but to say that he is a failure and a criminal is ridiculous. At least Bush is patriotic and truly does stand for what he believes in. With Obama we don't even know what that is.

To vote for a president because of his color which is what we are seeing right before our eyes, will NOT stop the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptons from keeping the race issue alive - that is how they make their living!!

America had better vote for someone who will help us WIN the war unless we want another 911! John McCain is not perfect but at least he's not AFRAID of the enemy and knows how to WIN A FIGHT!!

Everyone will be forced to enjoy watermelon, kool-aid and fried chicken (in that specific order). African witch doctors will be imported for the new socialized healthcare plan while Mexicans flood in and stink up the streets with burrito stands on every block.

Taking advantage of the incredibly low dollar the French will become the common tourist and Americans will be forced to serve them in our new services economy because all of our manufacturing jobs will have been given to illegals.

That is if anybody is working at all because the welfare state will systematically strip the fortunes from the wealthy (people just like us) and give them to the welfare queens of liberal states like Oregon.

Sam above is 100% correct. McCain's life experience needs closer examination. McCain was a "legacy" candidate at the Naval Academy, just like Bush was a "legacy" candidate at Yale. MCCAIN IS NOT A WAR HERO. This is a bold fiction being put forth by the mainstream corporate media which has an infatuation with the "Maverick". The truth about McCain is that he spent most of his time at the Naval Academy DRUNK, crashed several planes, was shot down because he was ill equipped and a low grade pilot who graduated at very bottom of his class and if he had not been a legacy candidate would likely have been thrown out of the Naval Academy. Legacy spots are held open for children of privilege who do not otherwise meet the qualifications for admission. His wife Cindy is a serial adulterer but she comes from a wealthy family which supports and maintains John McCain. Cindy is McCain's sugar mama. JOHN MCCAIN IS NO MAVERICK. He is not even his own man. Now at the age of 71 years old he offers himself up and Americans have a right to question the man's record and whether he is FIT TO LEAD this country. America can do better than a legacy admission at the Naval Academy who crashed more planes than anyone in his class and who's record in the Senate is largely irrelevant. KEATING BANK SCANDAL also involved McCain. McCain is a clown who has no business getting anywhere near the oval office, America needs someone who can think coherently.

Let me see if I have this right. We are considering to elect as the leader of our government someone who is presently a senator but has no record of governmental leadership. There have been no crucial votes where his leadership has swayed his colleagues. His most common vote, when in town, has been "present". No legislation bears his name... He apparently has only one demonstrable skill: He is a great campaigner/speech maker. If he is elected as our chief executive with zero executive accomplishment, God help us!

Look at how these conservatives treat people. They are talking about Barack Obama wanting to create a socialist state because he believes in fairness and equality.. They use scare tactics, say that anyone who believes we can be a better nation are "Kool-Aid Drinker", they take the most Hobbesian view of society, always pessimistic about Americas future..


Listen to the conservative viewpoint; if you can't help yourself because you weren't born into wealth or blessed with a great education, well thats just Darwin's survival of the fittest.. That's your problem, not society's, and then they throw out "individual responsiblity". What they are actually saying is that no matter the circumstances society has no responsibility to the individual. They say lower the taxes on the rich, raise them on the lower classes, keep education out of reach for the masses, keep people working in menial jobs at $5.00 an hour while the corportate stockholders make $200,000 a month.

What ever happened to the American Dream? Why has it turned into the American Nightmare? The Republican agenda has left Americans behind economically, in global cooperation, in education of our children, in our health and wellbeing, and in our most sacred constitutional rights.

Barack Obama wants a new course, one of mutual reponsibility, that we are better together than we are by ourselves, better when we unite in common purpose, better when our education system lifts children out of their circumstance and into prosperity, returning to international cooperation instead of cowboy diplomacy, making healthcare available and affordable to all Americans, and returning our sacred Constitutional Rights back to the people.

Notice, conservatives posting here offer some form of an argument; for instance, that Obama effected exactly no "change" in his entire senate career. Or that his celebrated "vision" is socialism, hardly something new. Liberals, on the other hand, have recourse only to name calling.

On which side, then, is intelligence?

When I saw the crowd, the first thing I thought of was Adolph Hitler's spectacular mass speeches, where he talked about how great Germans and Germany were and what a great future was in store.

And the tens of thousands there were pumped up and cheering--for a few years. They became the regimented, disciplined, follow the leader German Youth. Then we know what happened.

When I learned Obama was renting venues for rock concerts and athletic events, and controlling the image by no direct contact with the media and no press conferences, I knew he was playing by Hitler's propaganda playbook.

So, has he fnished the book (written by Greenspan, another fraud).

Posted by: don | May 18, 2008 8:36 PM

Someone asked why Americans are afraid of 'Change.' I know this might scare you, but change isn't always a good thing. Refer to my previous posts about the problem of 'Change.' Change towards the open-society that Obama wants just means the destruction of human motivation. We cannot negotaiate with Islamists, or the Iranians, because they do not want to do that; instead they want to cause everyone to covert or die. It is simply foolish to think that multiculturalism can work because it requires that all parties involved give up any steadfastly held beliefs to fit in with the multicultural doctrine. If an Islamist hates Jews for being Jews then they aren't going to make nice if we just talk to them, nor are they going to leave us alone if we become multicultural like Obama wants. Obama is incapable of understanding that there are people who have strongly held beliefs, right or wrong, that they will not let go of. Once we accept that and see that there is a real threat that exists regardless of our actions, isolationist or offensive, then we see that we are left with two options.

Postmodern multiculturalists like Obama want everyone to become obstinate to what the best way of life is and, as a result, lose any motivation towards protecting their own nation. And for all of you ideologues who think I am some crazy right-wing nut, the answer is no. I am not telling you to vote for McCain, though he is better at least in this regard, but I am saying that by electing a postmodern like Obama we are putting the entire future of our nation in jeopardy. It takes time for things like this to happen, but once they do there is no way back; except of course the Adolf way. (And no, I am NOT calling Obama Hilter, or Stalin. Any suggestion of that sort would be incredibly foolish and a show that your capacity for wisdom has been replaced by irrational ideology.)

America is an amazing place! I am so glad the real "Patriots" are showing the fear mongers we are going to take back this country and return it to the people. Bush and Cheney have started a war they can't win, finish or pay for. Killed the U.S. Economy and lowered the value of the dollar. Why does it have to be "white guilt" because Obama is the best man for the job? You show yourself a racist by even saying something like that. People are free to vote for who they want for whatever the reason. So if you want to vote for Bush/McCain Republicans again because they are the same old white guys you feel safe with go ahead. They have shown you they don't mean you or this country any good. Me. I am voting for Obama!

First of all, the US government didn't sell Iraq any chemical weapons or precursors to those weapons. A few US companies sold dual use chemicals, which Iraq turned into chemical weapons. But he got most of his precursors from Europe, the USSR, and South Africa. Please, read a few UN reports so you don't appear so confused.

Second, Lincoln didn't free a single slave. At least not legally. The Immancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves of those in rebellion, and was a violation of the Constitution. The 13th Amendment was passed and ratified long after Lincoln was dead.

Wow--I never comment on articles, but I couldn't let the last 15 minutes of "commentary" go without saying something.

In the collective opinion of just some of the more recent posts, Obama is apparently a dangerous Marxist/socialist, Islamofascist, racist, terrorist, postmodernist (and thus amoral) Al Qaeda-Hamas spokesperson, linked to the KKK via the Democratic Party and to rape and murder via his Kenyan heritage. He's been thrown into the same pot as Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao...and Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale.

How about a guy named Kerry or John$400 Edwards..........ALL GREAT TALKERS.

And none of them including Obama has every "really" walked........sad

The great thing about voting for Obama is that, right after his inauguration, we'll have a tickertape parade for all his buddies - Rev Wright, UBL, Hamas, Hezbollah, Achmidinejad (whatever his name is). He'll invite them over for tea and crumpets, and he'll BEG them to be real nice to us or we might get tough with them (ooh, maybe we'll call them a name . . .that'll really hurt 'em). The fundamental problem with liberals, unfortunately, is not that they're stupid (although many are) but most are as naive as elementary school children. They think they know what they're doing, until it's too late. God HELP this country if we elect BO.

Now that we've stepped into the Drudge echo chamber, let's have a listen to the reverberating talking points:

Socialism, Appeasement, Hitler, echo, echo, echo...

Look friends. Obama is running on a positive message of change. He has a detailed plan (check his website).

Your problem is you've never listened to a politician that wasn't preaching fear. That's all you know. Fear and obedience. You're powerless because you're too scared to think for yourself. Open your eyes and look at were this country has gone in the last 7 years.

Come on, Repubs, explain to me this great "experience' that old man McCain has? Keating 5? Donald R. Diamond? The lobbyists on his campaign staff? His 30 years operating in Washington? What's this great experience? In fact, give me any evidence he even knows what to do with it, if he has it. Give me an idea? Any idea from McCain?

Posted by: Don | May 18, 2008 8:33 PM

Linda, you do some research about Obama and justify why you are supporting Obama. See below:

Obama's Resume:

Experience:

Obama's accomplishments in the state Senate for 6 years was zero. Obama spent his time getting into the good graces of people like Rezko and Ayres in order to financially benefit his future in politics. When Obama asked Emil Jones to make him a federal Senator than Obama started to show some accomplishments. However, those accomplishments included Emil Jones, President of the Illinois state Senate, appointing Obama the head of every piece of high-profile legislation in sight to pad his resume. Jones aside all the senior state senators who had been working on bills for years and gave the credit to Obama by naming Obama as sponsor. Bottom line after six years of doing nothing in the Obama's 7th and final year as a state Senator, his record went from zero accomplishments to being falsely credited for the sponsorship of 26 passed bills. None of which Obama worked on or fought for!
This is what Obama is doing in the US Senate as well, look at his record, it is zero. Except of course, when it comes to getting earmarks for his wife's employer passed for the University of Chicago Hospitals, where Michelle Obama was vice president of community affairs. Michelle had already benefited ... Senate to $316,962 in 2005 just after he took office.

Obama's associations:

Here's a quick run-down of some of Barack Obama's questionable and disturbing associations:
* Rabidly anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi. The Obamas were regular dinner guests at Khalidi's Hyde Park home for years.
* Terrorist sympathizer Ali Abunimah, who runs the viciously anti-Israel web site Electronic Intifada.
* Unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
* Reverend Jeremiah Wright. What more needs to be said?
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Samantha Power -- fired after calling Hillary Clinton a "monster."
* Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Robert Malley -- fired when it was revealed he has been holding talks with Hamas.
* Hatem El-Hady, former official of the Hamas-linked charity Kindhearts, closed by the Justice Department. El-Hady's web page--with Michelle Obama listed as an opt-in "friend"--suddenly vanished from the Obama campaign site with no explanation, after being exposed by LGF and others.
* Tony Rezko -- a Chicago fixer currently in a whole lot of legal trouble.
*Raila Odinga, who recently ran for president in Kenya, promising to impose Sharia law if elected.

I read all of the comments about republicans being scared but most republicans just read these stories and realize that 50 to 75 percent of the people at these rallies are ether underage and can't vote or lazy and won't vote. Show up for rally or protest - GREAT - actually show up to vote for something, other things to do, see, or smoke. If you carry these number across all of the rallies and whatnot it doesn't favor obama in nov 08. I've been around politics for a long time and the youth vote is not dependable or necessarily wanted (Because of the insane promises you have to make to get it. ((Most of the youth vote has zero understanding of the world or how it works and think talking things out with Hitler would have worked)))

Notice, conservatives posting here offer some form of an argument; for instance, that Obama effected exactly no "change" in his entire senate career. Or that his celebrated "vision" is socialism, hardly something new. Liberals, on the other hand, have recourse only to name calling.

On which side, then, is intelligence?

Republicans are good at only three things:

1) convincing people to vote against their best interests

Oh, and one more thing, I don't see how anyone can continue to say that Obama is this kind, humble man. He is very arrogant, but he is just good at disguising it.

Hard to imagine all the lemmings especially in the Democratic ranks blindly following BO.

OK Reps and Inds' - lets start throwing some change at John McCain and help him out before it's over for America as we know and like it - Bush will be gone - but we still need a strong leader to follow - not BO

Obama is nothing but a walking thesuarus/high school debate club handbook. This clown has done NOTHING with his time in the senate but run for president and show up for a few votes/photo ops. Just because a guy is a walking Dale Carnegie course doesn't automatically make him a experienced statesman.

I appreciate that some of you are concerned about the adulation, fearful that we might being tricked by a good talker who secretly is a bad person. A number of you mentioned Hitler.

It is possible, but the "evidence" presented of this so far doesn't hold any water.

It is also possible that a good person has chrisma or that deep truth actually has moving power.

When the Berlin wall came down, it was completly unthinkable and impossible before it happened.

Not sure why some of you seem to need to be so negitive. Why don't you give it a chance or at least a rest.

The thing is, with our system, the upside potential is vast with a good and charismatic leader, and the down side potential if a truly bad guy gets in is very limited.

Anyway looks likewe'll get a chance to see what really will happen

Somebody who is apparently lost in Oregon said "For those who compare Obama's great talents to those of Lincoln, please remember what happened when Lincoln was elected. The nation was split apart, cicl rights (palyrty as they were) disappeared and the country was nearly destroyed by civil war."

Hmmm. What part, what very important part has been left out of that paragraph? Could it be....the part about owning human beings? Nah!

And Jimmy Carter was an islamofacist? Who knew? I thought it was Bush the Elder with whom the Iranians made the deal just before his "election", and that it was to Iraq that Reagan, Bush and his aides, Rumsfield and Cheney sold the human-killing chemicals. Oh, no, I must be wrong! Again!

An earlier comment got it bang on.

Currently, we're being laughed at by the world. We've completely and entirely lost track of where we're supposed to be going as a nation, and now is the moment in history where people are fed up, and showing it.

For those who claim "wow.. this reminds me of Hitler speaking". Great point... whatever point it was. How can you possibly make any logic comparison between masses listening to an insane, violent nutjob whose main intention was to shed certain human beings from existence, vs. a simple guy who happens to share the mood of the nation, and who has no ill will toward any race, religion or gender?

If it's the man who is scaring you, you'll be happy to know that everyone in the midwest has known Obama for more than 12 years, and he ain't the Muslim Black Panter boogieman that you're trying to paint him to be.

He's a man who represents an unstoppable movement in this country. Period.

The masses are not there for Obama. They're there for this country, and to show a determination to alter the pathetic course on which we've been placed.

You immediately equate Democrat with "socialist, fascist, communist" which uneducated, misinformed, and entirely inaccurate. Of all the Western nations, the US is the only remaining society that has tolerated a perverse notion that is exists to police. It doesn't.

"But 9/11!!!" Yes. 9/11 was caused by someone outside of America. And, thanks entirely to the current administration, he's probably sitting with a bucket of KFC, giggling wherever he might have made his home. Where 94% of cash and manpower efforts have been assigned to a place where we KNOW he isn't, the balance of the globe is still shaking its proverbial head at Rome.

And we all know how Rome ended up.

So now, here we are after 7 years, in debt to China to the tune of $3.7 trillion dollars. The economy is one Chinese banknote away from foreclosure and economic catastrophe, and the divide between rich and poor has grown by 1.7 times.

This isn't about Obama. This isn't about the Democratic Party.

It's about time.

You can change the "rules" all you want in our society with regard to wealth redistribution via a more progressive tax system. It's been tried dozens of times and the result is the same, the so called "rich" figure it out and stay rich. Those who benefit initially end up in the same place where they started unless they make themselves into something of value. So if you rely on the government to improve your life you'll be disappointed many more times than not. Wealth cannot to given away. However, wealth creation can be learned, but wealth by fiat has not and will not work. Whoever wins the presidency will not affect my life other than by the amount of taxes that I pay, and once the new "rules" are laid out I'll make adjustments and we'll be back to where we were before. Moves toward a more even distribution of wealth will ultimately have little or no affect. All that will remain is the name calling and accusations of how the rich are somehow undeserving of their lot in life. I want everyone to be wealther, it would be huge boon to my business and charitable giving to other countries would skyrocket. Once we as a nation accept that free markers are the fastest way to prosperity for the greatest number of people the faster we will get to achieving a higher standard of living for all Americans. Watch how long it takes for me to be accused of being a facist or other distasteful comments. Then, re-read this post and you will see it is without malice, only a plea to common sense.

I think that it is funny the amount of support that Obama is receiving. The man is not ready to be president. I would say that if half of the people who regurgitate is tired message of hope and change would look at the man and his stances, then they would think again before sticking his sign in their yard. Anyone who says that they are a conservative, and votes for Obama, is kidding themselves. He is as far left as they come and goes against everything that a conservative minded person stands for. If your a republican and voting for Obama, then it is not because of the issues, rather because of the hype and your lack of understanding.
Obama may be a good guy, he may really think that he can make change, but the truth of the matter is that his ideas are way too radical and he will put this nation in grave danger. Submitting to the terrorists and surrendering is equivalent to asking them to attack us. Wanting to sit down and talk with people who want to kill us is entirely preposterous. Insulting the President of the country during a time of war in order to forward your own political career is hypocritical and morally wrong. Obama lacks the judgment to make critical decisions for the well-being of our country and a vote for him is a vote for socialism and digression.
I do not care what color Obama is. I do believe, though, that his race has helped and not hindered his campaign. If he were a white man with the same platform and even with similar speaking abilities, he may have still been popular, but he wouldn't have brought in over 90% of the black vote ... that's the truth and there is no need for ya'll to get offended when people say that the fact that he is black is a large reason why you are voting for him. It's to his advantage and there is no reason why he shouldn't use it as such. I am not all that impressed with John McCain, but of all the candidates who are left standing he stands closest to my beliefs and ideals. If the contest is close where I live, I'll vote for him, if he is winning in a landslide I'll write someone else in.

You lousy racist people who are accusing him to be either "muslim" or "racist" you will be screwed this November! Go Obama! Go on our true leader!

Why are we giving political legitimacy to Oregon? When was the last time anyone said, if we dont win those tree huggers we cant win the general election?

Sorry to insult the conservative Oregonians, but Oregon is about as politically important as North or South Dakota.

This old grey world is coming to its end.
The love of many is waxing cold. The people are looking for another savior out of the sea, the sea of humanity. They are so lost without the spirit of Truth they founder under the delusion that man is God.
Americans have truly become the people the used to fear the most. Only a few will find the Ark before it rains. The storm clouds are gathering. Seek the Truth! Clue.. It's not on TV or at the movies.

Bush is a trust-fund politician and McCain comes from a family of military and political influence. McCain is rumored to be in the top-ten wealthiest Senators. He and his wife own EIGHT houses, are worth an estimated $100 million dollars, and have a private jet.

McCain graduated 894th out of 899; Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude in the top 1%.

McCain repeatedly rejected a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

One of his long-time "senior political consultants" is Richard Quinn, long-time head of the racist Southern Partisan Quarterly Review. That's a far closer tie than what Obama has to Ayers.

McCain's chief adviser, Charlie Black, has lobbied for many of the worlds most ruthless dictators that pale only to Hilter in the scope of their tyranny.

McCain carried on an adulterous relationship with his current wife, Cindy, for a year.

Since the Conservatives now feel attacking family members of candidates is "fair game", Cindy McCain is an adulterer who admitted stealing Percocet and Vicodin from her own nonprofit Third World relief agency, American Voluntary Medical Team.

McCain voted against campaign-finance-reform legislation in 1987 and 1988, but in 1990 began to support it to protect his political future.

The League of Conservation Voters has consistently ranked McCain at the bottom of its list of environmentally friendly lawmakers. While McCain is now talking about the environment, he voted anti-environment on issues ranging from endangered species to nuclear waste storage to funding environmental programs.

The reason so many people in Portland came out to here Barack Obama is the SAME reason he'll win the Presidency in November. People relate to his message and his hope. He speaks truth, passionately, articulately and with sane reasoning. We have sorely lacked that in our 'leadership' over the last 8 years. People are tired of the Bush(it) and lame ignorance, foreign occupation, illegal and immoral wars, lack of concern and action on the most important needs of our citizens. God bless Barack! He is our only hope for a sane future. First thing he'll need to do in office: APOLOGIZE to the world for George Bush's dirty diapers and ask for forgivness.

Posted by: smitty | May 18, 2008 8:25 PM

Obama is a contradiction. From one side of his mouth he preaches against fear, smear, and diviseivness rhetoric than he turns around and uses the same tactics that he speaks against. His tactics are not new. Fascisim is not new. Use the negative to encite the public and provide false hope and change. Unfortunately there are those out there that are supposedly highly educated that buy off on this unseasoned charlatans crap.

The reality is Obama is not going to do a damn thing for anybody. Those of you who are searching for hope and change can only bring it about yourselves via hard work and persevernce. The government will not do it for you, and I've yet to see a politician walk across the Potomac.

Posted by: ziggy1 | May 18, 2008 8:25 PM

Notice this: conservatives posting here generally offer an argument of some sort, for example that Obama effected exactly NO "change" in his senate career. Or that his "vision" is socialist, and hardly new. Liberals, on the other hand, have only one recourse: name calling.

On which side is the intelligence?

Posted by: joe just joe | May 18, 2008 8:25 PM

Most young Americans, having been "educated" at the hands of Baby Boomers, don't know anything about history or politics. All they seem to care about is what is happening on American Idol or who is playing on a given sports team. They are practically illiterate (just try to read some of their posts) and cannot remember the past doings of any politicians. If Obama, whose past is as clear as mud, says "Y" when he used to say "X," then he must mean it because he is such a convincing speaker and he looks so good up there, plus it would be really cool to have a young, black president, and the Europeans would like us, and ... you get the picture.

I am the son of a WWII vet who came back to tend bar in a hotel. My father was the son of Italian immigrants who wouln't let him learn to speak italian, because they wanted him to be American first. He didn't have much money, but he had the wisdom to make sure I went to a college prep high school and worked hard so I could get into college and become a professional. I've been working for over 30 years. I feel I worked for what I have as my father did and expected me to. Obama, keep your liberal paternalism off my back and out of my pocket. Finding 75,000 who want a "free" handout isn't so hard. If I thought Obama meant to fund his programs by ending graft and corruption in government, ending pork-barrel politics, ending "real" corporate greed and opportunism and had the ability and commitment to do it, I'd consider voting for him. But nothing in his records shows he can or is inclined to do this. He is a vote monger and will say whatever it takes to get the most people behind him, but he has shown, like all other politicians, a favoritism toward being among the super-rich.

The theme keeps coming up: change= socialism=nazism= Obama.
Yet, the premise is wrong. The only reason that Nazism fluorished is because no-one stood up to Nazism as it was happening. Not doctors, engineers, clery,etc.

In other words, take a quick look now. Nazism should feel familiar but only because we have had America bastardized into a semblance of it by the Bush administration. We will not stand for it any more! Obama's appeal is that he flexes the demands of the true America aching connect itself with the world as a true force of hope and not a paper tiger. We need to stop being ridiculed as an America tantamount to a bully. America and its people are so much more than that.

It is interesting how many people on this blog do not understand the basic message of Senator Obama and yet sit here and pontificate how evil he must be if he has strong supporters. While change can be scary to those entrenched in status quo, it obviously invigorates the millions of Americans who have supported Obama and is tesitified today by the 75,000 that took time out of their Sunday to go to a park and hear him speak.

The mere fact you can draw 75,000 people and NOT HAVE them VETTED - as would be the case at a Bush Event, or a McCain Event, or for that matter any other Republikcan gathering - speaks volumes to the trust Americans sense in a presidency of your leadership. every candidate running for office in the House of Representative, the Senate, or their State offices should read the tea leaves right now.... this is THE person you should hitch your wagon to if you want to be a part of the sweeping out of the most corrupt, most incompetent, most devious and dishonest, and least liked Administration in our 235 year history.

I cannot say with certainty that Obama is going to be able to change much, nor can I say I'm completely sold on the guy. But I'm willing to give him a chance. McCain and Clinton both had their chance to change things in Washington and did nothing.

Obama is for hope and change. He wants everyone to have an equal chance at obtaining income, and an equal chance of receiving government-provided healthcare. The only reason this type of Marxist government failed under the Soviet Union was because Communism was misunderstood across the world, but I believe Obama can make it work. Capitalism is too competitive and mean-spirited, whereas socialism is more worker friendly. Everyone is equal and gets equal pay and benefits under socialism.

What some folks fail to understand, is that Barack Obama inspires people not to follow him, but to take responsibility for their own lives, and their own role in the political process. That's why the cool-aid label is laughable. Ask any one of us, and I guarantee we can tell you more about his policies, their implications, why they should be enacted, and how we're gonna go about doing it than many suits in D.C. could tell you about their own ideas. For anyone who is wondering about Senator Obama's experience, I encourage you to visit the Library of Congress and read the Congressional record which contains transcripts of every session, including a detailed count of the hundreds of bills he's introduced, legislation he has passed, and committees he serves on: http://thomas.loc.gov/
See, Senator Obama isn't offering us a false image of hope. He's giving us a chance to take our country back. But that means we will have to be responsible for our own dang lives...
So read up. Prepare yourself.
Instead of posting plagiarized and empty false attacks here, how about you go learn for yourself from the Senate website about his record? Fear has lost its exchange value. Intelligence is making a comeback.

Peace in Our Time" and "Mission Accomplished" = Two of a Kind
Appeasement - certainly, "peace in our time" represents a great foreign policy/strategic/military blunder. But now, now we have "mission accomplished" to represent another great foreign policy/strategic/military blunder.
"Mission accomplished" - yet the mission never was factual, it certainly wasn't accomplished, the unintended results have been great and negative, incompetence is demonstrated from the Oval Office and the neo-cons and our 'president' are discredited. The Republicans are not only broken, they're in disarray and routed.

Bush's "Mission Accomplished" quote is a current day equivalent to Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our Time." Those quotes equally symbolize and illustrate failure. Bush and Chamberlain both will be remembered forever as disasters in office.

For John McCain to question Barack Obama's preparation for job is a real hoot, like Chamberlain atacking Churchill because he wasn't prepared for the job. John McCain will, if elected, continue George W. Bush's disatrous policies, the policies of a man and a party that has had a Katrina like effect upon our nation. That's why McCain must be defeated.

The founding fathers also had great visions and gave great speeches. Why do Americans continue to elect such terrible leaders? They elected George Bush who ran as a compassionate conservative, yet he has ruled as anything but.

Bush graduated from Yale and his family are ruling elite, yet he was able to get good old boy uneducated whites to vote against their own self interest. Picture the old barn at his ranch, the beatup pickup that he drives around the ranch.

Elections these days are about marketing, negative soundbites and cultural issues that have nothing to do with how a future President will run the country. Most of the time, the general public isn't paying attention. Most Americans don't know that Barack Obama is a US Senator or that John McCain was a navy pilot or that HRC graduated from Yale and is the only First Lady to be subpoenaed.

While John McCain's four-star Admiral father ensured him a prized appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, his performance - 894th out of 899 cadets in his class - does not attest to diligent effort, whereas Barack Obama (from a broken home, on food stamps) won competitive academic scholarships to Harvard, which he proved himself worthy of by graduating Magna Cum Laude ("With Highest Honors"). Its been a long time since any politicians of either party could talk convincingly about "The American Dream", but Barack Obama can, because he lived it. Without handouts, family patronage, or inheritence, he pulled himself up by his bootstraps from the Chicago ghetto through his own hard work, enterprise, and initiative to become President of the Harvard Law Review, one of the most prestigious scholarly legal journals in the country. Which President is more likely to make a difference in the lives of people, and motivate them with initiative to best achieve their individual God-given potential?

To the rejoinder, "yes, but its worked, we havent been attacked since 9/11", you must add: "BUT, we havent foreclosed the threat by taking out al Queada, either". The National Security argument is like the Tax-and-Spend one, it doesnt matter where you stand on "bombing al Queada back to the stone age" - the fact remains that your Republican friends will vote for the candidate they perceive to be most in tune with that idea, period. McCain vocally disagrees with the successful CIA program to take out al Queada leadership when located in northwest Pakistan, without alerting the local tribal authorities and Pakistani Intelligence, who have always warned off our targets in the past. Sen. Obama, by contrast, opposes giving al Queada sanctuary in Pakistan, and ardently supports this initiative. When McCain attacked Obama as niave for "wanting to bomb an ally", the very next day the CIA took out the #3 leader in al Queada with just such a raid, with a missile fired from a Predator drone. Coddling Pakistan's corrupt dictator for these eight years hasnt made us safer, and John McCain's simplistic continuation of this weak policy is just being Soft on Terrorism, no way around it. Also, its worth noting that whatever other implications it may have for John McCain's Character, Psyche, or Mental Makeup, having a plane shot out from under you and spending six years behind bars does not automatically qualify anyone as a "national security expert"; that notion is just ludicrous on the face of it.

Plus, I don't think taxes should be raised just because someone thinks it's "fair" - which is what Obama said when confronted with the facts that lower tax rates result in increased revenue.

He's a socialist who thinks that the the government is more important than the individual. I don't want some bureaucrat with any more control of my life. And for sure I don't trust our elected "representatives" who sell us out on a regular basis.

It pictures him under a cross telling everyone he lives for Christ. Active in his church for 20 years...just trying to lie his way to a vote. Yet he told me he wasn't active in his church and didn't hear anything of Wrights Damning of America. Which is it? Bush said he was a man of Christ and he was pillared! Why is not Obama pillared by the media as Bush was? This guy is very dangerous and those that listen to his pipes know not what they do.

Warrantless domestic wiretapping, warrantless searches and seizures, arresting U.S. citizens without probable cause, holding them without trial, etc., etc....No REAL conservative believes these things are legitimate perrogatives of the federal government. There are innumerable horror stories you can research and recount of how the GOP has sat idly by while our cherished Constitutional protections have been ignored, abrogated, and turned into a joke.

Obama said that he trusted Americans "to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did."

But the truth is that FDR never spoke to the head of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler; the head of fascist Italy, Benito Mussolini, or the head of militarist Japan, Hideki Tojo. The president's only policy, "was unconditional surrender."

I have yet to hear most journalists or pundits remind Obama that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, even as their diplomats were on American soil to "talk peace." As Pearl Harbor burned, our men and women died and America wept. But President Harry S. Truman took note and did not forget. He knew the meaning of "Peace through Strength."

Face it. YOU baby-boomers are the people who are sheep. You were told you are special your whole life.

It's time for a new generation. A generation that is going to have to clean up the mess that the baby-boomers created.

They never got their act together. Our generation is multi-cultural, and the hardest working generation since the generation that fought WW2.

Obama's one example of foreign policy experience was campaigning for his cousin Odinga (a convicted felon) in formerly stable Kenya. This while Obama's cousin, Marxist revolutionary, and his Islamo-fascist political associates were busy raping and looting and burning black women and children alive in their church pews. Obama's new ally is now co-Prime Minister Odinga. Odinga's government has now displaced hundreds of thousands of refugees, burned crops to the point where Kenyans are starving and thoroughly destabilized a pro-Western ally bordered with Islamo-fascist Somalia.

The people standing around cheering Obama's inane speeches need to ask Obama to explain and justify Obama's foreign policy allegiance with Odinga and the havoc and misery it has brought to Kenya

In his North Carolina victory speech, among other things, Sen. Obama uttered the words "We dont need Big Government". Whether you agree with that or not, remind your Republican friends that Pres. Bill Clinton's National Performance Review reduced the federal civilian workforce by 250,000 positions (ones they will consider, rightly or wrongly, to be useless tax-sucking bureaucrats). This makes the last Democratic administration the only presidency since Eisenhower's to leave office with a smaller federal workforce that he started with - again, Bush, Bush, Reagan, Ford, and Nixon notwithstanding. But, the real stones Obama brings to the table on this issue are his formative years on the south side of Chicago, doing meaningful community social work through voluntary, faith-based, non-governmental community organizations, rather than government bureaucracies. Yes, We CAN - rehabilitate the homeless, educate the illiterate, provide day care for single moms, dry out alcoholics, and clean junkies off the dope without buidling perpetual bureaucracies - Obama himself has proven that, through social entrepreneurship. By contrast, John McCain has never drawn a day's pay that didnt come from the public trough, courtesy of your tax dollars (getting fabulously rich by marrying an heiress or taking money under the table from special interests he did favors for doesnt count as 'earning money in the productive sector').

Most Republicans' biggest gripe with their own party - by far - is its failure to control the bureaucracy and reign in runaway federal spending and deficits. It is useful to mention that while the last five (5) Republican Presidents promised fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets, all of them grew discretionary civilian spending by tremendous amounts, and ran up ever larger deficits. Meanwhile, only Pres. Bill Clinton balanced the federal budget, and produced four years of surpluses, with the same forecast long into the indefinite future. A big problem with the federal budget is that almost nobody knows where all the money is going; its easy to add earmarks and pork barrel spending and special interest giveaways when the people back home cant tell the difference. Sen. Barack Obama's major legislative accomplishment in the Senate, the The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 has been to bring transparency to federal spending. Send your Republican friends to http://www.federalspending.gov which his legislation created, a veritable "Google of the Federal Budget", where anyone can research every dollar to see where their tax money is actually going. The whole Federal Rathole is now online, for the first time ever, inviting scrutiny from whoever has the patience to slog through it all. You dont have to be a CPA to realize that this does more in the long run to control wasteful federal spending than all the speeches Bush, Bush, Reagan, Ford, and Nixon ever gave on the subject, put together.

What is this silliness about being the President of the United States of America is the same as "running a company"? GWB pretended he was the CEO of the U.S., before he became enamored of the phrase "Commander in Chief", and before he became enamored of himself dancing a little over here, a bit over there, for the amusement of his media poodles.

How's either one of those job descriptions been working out for the good of U.S. citizens and its volunteer military personnel?

The U.S. is not a corporation to be run for the profit of a few, select shareholders. That's an oligarchy. From Wiki on oligarchy: "Kevin Phillips, author and political strategist to U.S. President Richard Nixon, argues that the United States is a plutocracy in which there is a "fusion of money and government.""

As a member of the Illinois State Senate, Sen. Obama was cosponsor of a bill which ultimately passed, creating the largest tax cut in state history. Since the start of his presidential campaign, he has consistently favored a broad-based middle class tax cut. By contrast, Sen. McCain "voted against tax cuts before he voted for them", and has no real credibility on this issue among conservatives. McCain was very critical of the Bush tax cuts, which most Republicans believe gave us years of prosperity - until very recently. Obama can thus be taken more seriously than McCain as a President who will cut taxes, rather than raise them.

Frankly, I don't think anyone could have done a much worse job than this current administration. And I am so sick of the dirty tactics republicans use during elections. Its all based on fear. Get the people to fear something and tell them you will protect them... you can already see it in John McCain's campaign.

Barack Obama = INTEGRITY

I have full confidence that the Obama Campaign will continue its brilliant campaign strategy and will act gracefully and in the best interests of the campaign and party.

The bottom line is that we must elect Obama, a Democrat, as President.


Obama is a man of integrity:


Integrity is the state of truly being on the inside what we seem to be on the outside.

"Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth" Emerson 1860

Obama allows the truth of what is inside him to be revealed outwardly.

Trevor, I guess you were one of the "seeing" folks who voted for Bush. Thanks to your "clear vision", our nation is racked with debt, thousands of our finest killed in a fabricated war, and your inarticulate president who goes to Saudi Arabia to beg for help. Your president has shamed our country and will go down as the worse president in our history, only one man is happy about this, and that is the previous worse president Herbert Hoover.

So if this is your "clear vision", I would rather pass up on your clarity and vote for Obama. The problem with you republic lemmings is that you are vested in the failed Bush, you are the only ones who refuse to accept the unmitigated failure that is Bush. 28% of you stick by this man as he continues to eviscerate our economic, social, and defense infrastructures. For the sake of your cognitive comfort, you are willing to "cling" to this president and willing to vote for a man who will mimic the policies of a failed presidency--McCain.

Why don't you for a second ask yourself if Bush really has been positive for America. Maybe once you can get past the partisan reflexes and asses with clarity on whether or not we really need change. I doubt you will do so, I'm pretty sure you will continue to let the blind lead the blind.

I have yet to understand Obama. What interests me is that his rhetoric seems like that of a postmodern--he even has stated that he avoids intellectualism. 'Change,' it seems, means a movement away from the power of reason and towards the so called 'open-society.' This has happened before in world history: The Wiemar Republic. Once we have a society that abandons reason and plunges into the abyss of nihilism we get a prescription from Nietzsche: the Overman. In The Wiemar Republic he went by the name of Adolf. So Obama is just the stepping stone towards that like Hindenburg was in 1934.

I love this mantra of "change". Why is is it that every Dem sheeple I talk to can't be specific about what this "change" is? Barack Osama is so far left he makes Ted Kennedy look like George Wallace.
The change Barack Osama will bring is more taxes, more big daddy government, more welfare all on the backs of those Americans who work and don't need the government to run their lives. Clinton brought us the militia. Barack Osama will bring on the insurgency. Screw ALL the Republicrats and their big government slaves.
The Amerikan Sheeple deserve Barack Osama.

I'm a longtime Republican. Never voted for a Democrat in my life. And I'm voting for Barack Obama this fall. I'm 55 years old and have had enough of George W. Bush, John McCain, Karl Rove. It puts me at odds with my voting past, but I'm beginning to realize that the Republican way of doing things hasn't made us safer, nor has it made the American Dream more accessible to average folks. Something's wrong here. And I think that Barack Obama sees it and can inspire us to greater heights. Never thought I'd say this, but I'm proud to support him.

Posted by: Jim | May 18, 2008 8:04 PM

Anyway, we all know that when the brown shirts come knocking, they'll be representing the Republican party. The party of authoritarians, bigots and "one party rule". That's your American Fascism for you. McCain's not in that group, he's just an empty suit

The sad fact is that when I see this all I can think of is Adolph Hitler in Munich, or Berlin! Same story, same hope and change, same charismatic qualities as we are seeing now, and we all know where that went!

Posted by: blarn | May 18, 2008 8:03 PM

I will be voting for Barack Obama... happily! If there was a way to let him know that NOW is the time to be explicit on the changes he believes are needed. I'm tired of the comments made about him just being able to make "feel good" remarks and the I'm not referring to the media saying this.....I'm referring to my friends, co-workers, acquaintances, etc.

I know he has spoken of some of his plans and realize some plans cannot be set in cement until he is privy to information that only the head of state has..... but, McCain is playing the "this is what I'm definitely going to do" game.....and America needs to CLEARLY hear the alternatives.

I only have one problem with Obama and (don't yell at me).... I'm not thrilled with the negativity his wife often emotes. When she did the "8-year old little girl who cried because she has no hope of going to college"....I was pissed! I teach...in a 100% African American high school in Philadelphia and all but 7 of the graduating class this year has received college acceptances.

I would have not used the little girl's situation to spout about the "mean" country we live in. I would have told her that if she focuses on what she wants and studies with her goal in mind, she will be in college and may even be President one day. EVERY student who applies him/herself can go to college.....and if the effort is there...money is NOT a problem. I want a first lady who is positive and teaches our children how to be successful.

Malcolm X said "If you see someone who is doing better than you, he is doing something you're not". There are numerous programs that assist African Americans who want an education...as minimal as providing FREE SAT exams for those who qualify. The bottom line is.... students have to WANT to go to college and work to achieve academically! It's not that hard!

Just a reminder, it is not unusual to have 60 - 70 thousand people attend a college or professional football game. Yes, it is a big crowd, but not that unheard of. I was born and raised in Eugene Oregon. I now live out of the State. Oregon has always been a liberal sanctuary. I don't understand why Oregonians don't recognize that the painful issues they want to change are a direct result of 40 years of high taxes, minimal business growth and liberal leadership.

To even suggest we in PA are bigots as S.

When they find out, eg: escalating food cost because they didn't research using corn for fuel, they ignore the facts, and to the detriment of the entire world. Obama isn't the second coming of Christ, Mohammed, Buddha....but I am starting to think he may be a wolf in sheeps clothing. The slavish adoration is starting to get scary....

Someone please tell me what change Obama represents. He has already said he OPPOSES CHANGE to the Social Security system, his education plan basically just throws more money at the already failed system and his "windfall tax" policy will drive any successful American companies to a thriving overseas market instead.

Come on, really... change? How about a fair tax system to make American companies competetive again instead of penalizing them for prosperity. How about privatizing schools and dissolving the Dept. of Ed. How about making it easier for illegal aliens to become citizens while cutting tax-paid benefits to non-residents. Obama is just another Democrat in a shiny suit.

HISTORY FOLKS! - Please SOMEONE tell me a prior leader in history that had such adoration and turned out good?

Look, I'm not saying that that OBAMA is any different than the other politicians out there (that's actually my point), I'm saying that such adoration and fever is irresponsible is amounts to blind sheep following thin rhetoric.

Obama maybe better than bush or clinton, or reagan, but I'm betting when all is said and done, he's either on PAR or worse, but let's give him the chance to prove his worth before we faint at his rally's.

EVERYONE GET'S A 4.0 WHEN THE START COLLEGE - VERY FEW HAVE A 4.0 WHEN THE FINISH... SO RIGHT NOW, OBAMAS ON TEH DEAN'S LIST WITHOUT DOING A SINGLE THING - REMEMBER THAT.

I'M VOTING FOR RETARD #2.

Most of the people of Portland are so thoroughly Socialist that they will accept without question whatever anyone with a "D" after their name says.

Posted by: US Citizen | May 18, 2008 7:56 PM


Why are people so negative? Obama may not be the perfect guy you are looking for. The massive crowd tells us that America is hungry for a change. Isn't a change necessary with the slide of global American influence and economy? Too bad most people are only concerned about their daily lives and and not see the big picture.

Obama alone cannot do it. Why don't we all help him?

Let me just say that I am a life-long Republican - or was, I suppose, until W's second term. I will be voting for Obama this November. May I suggest to my fellow conservatives that you stop fearing all change - some change is good. McCain ain't it. Remember our good ol' Constitution? Let's put a guy in office that actually cares about it.

Posted by: Joel | May 18, 2008 7:56 PM

To those who say that Obama doesn't have ideas, I say that is secondary to his ability to lead. Ideas advanced during a political campaign are not the reason to vote for someone because the legislative process morphs those ideas into something else anyway. What is important is for someone to be able to lead during the legislative process in order to get things done and solve problems. If people have a problem with his positions on things like abortion, etc., then I accept that and you shouldn't vote for him on that basis, not on the basis of campaign proposals on health care, etc.

It is a mark of intelligence to be able to chose the right words to communicate with others. W is not very good with words, but then, he is not very smart, either. I want somebody smarter than me to be running the country.

Yet those who hate Obama love Bush. It is amassing and amusing how low some people have sunk. No wonder America borrows from China to fund the war in Iraq while Bush tells his lemmings that communism is evil. Communists make your US flags, your shoes, your books, your pants because Bush loves communists. Yet Bush is your God.

This guy is TERRIBLE. Almost a year into this, nobody really knows what his plan for change is. Just CHANGE. If he becomes president, we'll all be holding signs for CHANGE (i.e., pan-handling) like those idiots at this rally.

What amazing policies he has. Embrace state sponsors of terror, abandon the most strategically critical area of EARTH, raise taxes during a struggling economy (no matter that tax cuts have proven EVERY TIME to raise revenues and stimulate growth), and a Federal Ban on concealed weapon permits. That way criminals will know for a fact that you are incapable of defending yourself.

But hey. He enunciates and isn't cruising around in FUBU gear. I guess he is qualified to be the leader of the planet.

Obama's campaign is the dumbing down of America coming home to roost. The guys started running for president when he was one -third of the way through his first term as a junior senator. His voting record is the most radical leftist in American history (that's not opinion, that's his record).

He joined a church that is filled with hate for America, for whites, for Jews and for real Christians. He's associated with murderers (terrorists like William Ayers) and his house was purchased only with the help of the mafia's Tony Rezko.

But the children see that he's tall and he's pretty and he says "hope" and he says "change" and they flock because they're too stupid to see the obvious or to care.

Is it any surprise, then, that Obama's announced plans are to meet with our enemies and bomb our allies? If Obama is elected, the world begins its end as he aids and abets the terrorists, sells out Israel, allows Iran to get a nuclear bomb, compromises with Syria (who does not compromise back but plays the child for all he's worth)...

Europe is voting in conservatives and America is voting in a Marxist America-hater.

What concerns me is this man's deceptions and omissions on which he has been confronted. he never disclosed anything until he was questioned, has felt it necessary to explain himself repeatedly in verbals and non-verbals indicative of large and troublesome deception. His, as were other unsolicited reactions to the President's Knesset speech should give morbid pause to those who run to these people like a brainwashed cult. The President did not accuse anyone or name names, yet those with guilty knowledge flinched, and egregiously so. I hope people noticed that, as if they were some 12 year old caught in the act. I am very, very concerned about an electorate that through ahbituation and programming has been taught to hate the President, and completely forget the eight years of unconfronted bloodshed while Bush was merely a Governor. Why weren;t they concerned then?

Posted by: vincenzo4 | May 18, 2008 7:53 PM

What would you expect? This is in Portland, Oregon which is the Northwest hot bed of left wing extremists. It's run by the lunatic Tom Potter - where criminals have more rights than the police. Where sex offenders are often given sanctuary. Miscreants that have taken control of the streets with the mayors approval. Anti-business and anti-American for not cooperating with the FBI on terrorist investigations.

Obama and Portland are almost a perfect match.

Congratulations on the crowd, homogeneous Portland.

Posted by: Mark Pearson | May 18, 2008 7:53 PM

Come on people. Change - to what?? Where is the substance. What do you think he - or any of these candidates - will get through Congress.

Firstly - Mr. Obama has no plan - sure health care for most - with no sane funding plan - withdrawal from Iraq - with no plan to prevent Iraq from becoming an extension of Iran - and no stimulus plan for the ecomomy. Wake up people - WE in America are on already practically a third world country - and the answer is not in more Government - but in enticing people to stand up for themselves, earn their own income - and KEEP it - not give it away. Big brother Change is more of the same - expand government and suck anyone not working for the government dry.

When will the hoopla end - in a country this big can't we find one honest man who REALLY wants to better the life of the average worker? Apparently not.

Hussein Obamas's goals are to disarm America, open our borders, allow aliens to vote, destroy our health system, bankrupt Social security, give hundreds of billions to African dictators to eliminate poverty.

Apparently the only reason someone would not vote for Obama is if they are a racist bigot. It couldn't be because he is on the far left. It couldn't be because he is all talk and fluff. It couldn't be because he wants to talk to Iran with no conditions. It couldn't be because he wants to raise taxes to pay for his $600 billion worth of promises he is making. It couldn't be because he wants to just leave Iraq and let it collapse into chaos. No, it is because we are bigots. Gotta love that liberal tolerance!

This is a change that is sorely needed and would require that all government employees (including neocon pols) work only for the interests of the USA.

The Israeli lobby needs to designated exactly for what it is...a foreign agent for Israel. It's (AIPAC , etc) role is to only advance the interests of Israel, as demonstrated by its continued spying on the US DOD and its citizens, and it absolutely should fall under FARA.

Can one person tell me what he has accomplished? Can one of person tell me how he is going to do all these great things? Can one person tell me what he means when he and all his followers chant, "change". I got it. Change means what will have left in our checking accounts once he implements all of this wonderful policies on the backs of the working man.

Plenty of crackers in Oregon, I see. Just have a real problem with a black president. Black = Socialist = Gay = degenerate = Muslim? The idiocy of the comments I see on this site astonishes me. "The Fall of the United State"? That rushing sound you hear is the U.S. in eight years of free fall. Elmer Fudd could have done a better job than the current crop of Republican incompetents, liars, thieves, and autocrats.

Rant, rant, rant.

FACT: John McCain was eating cake with George W. Bush when the levees breached after Katrina hit New Orleans (yeah -- the one "no one" --except for everyone -- anticipated breaching). America deserves better.

Obama is an appeaser. He won't fight, just appease. As President, he will negotiate with every little dictator on the globe and in so doing make himself small.

It's already over. McCain will be our next president.

Go look at the head-to-head Obama vs. McCain polls in Pennsylvania you dolts. Obama crushes him. Don't make stupid statements unless you have something to back it up. McCain has NO chance. This is a Democrat year across the board.

In response to Dave S., it is typical of a true liberal to label and name call people whom they disagree with i.e. bigots in West Virgina, Pennsylvania ect. Also, it reinforces the elitist attitude that Obama and his supporters take towards hard-working, blue collar Americans. You and the other race-baiters in this country are the problem with America.

I can only say that my sense of foreboding is palpable. This man will be fooled by his own sense of rectitude, which is absolutist. The neo-marxist roots of his doctrine are apparent and will prove inimical to the Constitution he says he supports. This mass adulation is hysteria and fatuous. When a US city lies in smoldering ruin and 100,000 or more Americans have died, or the State becomes the Obama virtue enforcer, will you all will still follow your false Messiah?

Has anyone asked themselves, "Just what has Obama accomplished?" After he was appointed chairman of an important committee in the U.S. Senate, he has not scheduled ONE meeting because he has been running for President. In three years in the Senae, he has not introduced a single bill, never crossed the aisle to cooperate with the other side choosing to always voted the straight party line, ducked 133 controversial votes in the Illinois legislature, etc. This is scary.

Even Republicans and Independents can "pitch" in! Let this generation be looked upon by our future generation as the one that were open-minded and made a difference by voting for someone who is qualified and not by the color of someone's skin.

If Obama's style and skills can not convince you by now that he is for real and for the people of this nation, then go and vote for McCain; your nation deserves whatever it gets when you put McCain in power. If you cannot hear his message by now, then you should consider listening to Bush from now till next century. In fact, you should consider keeping Bush as your eternal King of America.

Obama has brought in more young people into politics. He has more education than most of us can ever dream of. He has organized the best young minds that will never be matched in decades to come. He has beaten the Clinton machine which the Republicans could not do with millions of dollars behind Ken Starr.

I took my 5 year old son down to the Portland rally and while I have no idea how many people came to the rally, what I took away from it was a counter-argument against the idea coming out of West Virginia suggesting that whites would not vote for a black American as President.

Here were thousands and thousands of mostly white (yes Hillary) hard working people-- young, middle age and elderly -- who took in a Sunday afternoon to listen to the first African American who has a legitimate shot at the Presidency. It was truly a festive and uplifting experience.

Posted by: Eric Birn | May 18, 2008 7:42 PM

Look, he's an impressive guy and I'm looking forward to voting for him but this adulation gives me the creeps.

His first job when he takes office will be to make sure that the Constitution (which does not provide for a king or a savior) is restored to the center of our government. The next will be to name a Cabinet and restore competence to the nation that has suffered for lack thereof.

We have to support him, not adore him.

Exactly. I want to vote for a President running on the Democratic Party's ticket, and definitely not for some sort of movement, whose supporters seem as enthusiastic as they are content free.

Was the crowd applauding Obama's universal health care plan? No? Good thing, because the plan is a fake and a fraud, which Obama then had to run Harry & Louise ads to cover up.

Obama also more than reversed Clinton's Nevada win in the third step of the caucus on Saturday in Reno Nevada at the State Convention: 55% Obama to 44% Clinton. When she won the caucus in January she had 51% to his 46%. So why is this reversal not headline news? Why is 75,000 in Portland not headline news? Why does only West Virginia and Kentucky matter to the media? They will never be Democratic States. Nevada can. Oregon can.

Posted by: AL | May 18, 2008 7:38 PM

To the person below who recommends that Obama appoint Hillary Clinton to the Supreme Court: I dissent. Hillary Clinton is not a constitutional scholar by any stretch of the imagination. Furthermore, she failed the D.C. bar exam. This would simply not fly. Supreme Court justices must be people who have a firm, detailed, and in depth knowledge of constitutional law, and who have good impartial judgement.

Hillary is a legislator by nature, not a judge.

I have read this recommendation elsewhere. It is not tenable.

Posted by: Shannon | May 18, 2008 7:35 PM

I have seen him speak and I can tell you what he didn't do: he didn't spout off about some outlandish plans and predictions like most politicians do. No one has any idea whatsoever what the future holds. The most important events will be ones that are followed by the words "no one could have predicted that ......" Instead of politicians who fail to learn that they can't predict the future, we need a leader who is level-headed, wise, a great communicator, and most importantly, an inspiration and example to the rest of us. Someone who lives skillfully and is motivated by compassion and guided by wisdom - that is why I support Obama. He is the sort of candidate we need and we are lucky to have him.

Posted by: Julian | May 18, 2008 7:34 PM

I am 47 years old and have never been so excited about a presidential race. Obama brings vision, change, and a love of America with all it has to offer from his one in a million perspective.

A significant overture needs to be made to Hillary and her supporters. I suggest this: Hillary appointed to the Supreme Court. How does that sound? Barack Obama wins the US Presidency, with Hillary"s gracious support -- once she concedes the numbers are just against her.( See Real Clear Politics Website if you doubt that.) He appoints her to the Supreme Court (Given the age of several of the judges, an opening is sure to happen. I believe that one of the judges will even step down if and when there is a Democratic president to appoint a Democratic replacement.)

Hillary would then have a position of highest prestige and much power. She is very well qualified; she is a lawyer and has much understanding of the social and political dynamics of the country.

Heres a picture of the crowd. I think 75,000 is a conservative estimate.

"Amazing. But what did he have to say?" What he says is I'm a skinny black man named Barack Hussein Obama that can draw 75,000 people to a park on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. He also says I can attract a broad and diverse coallition of Americans to listen to my message, volunteer for my campaign and donate their hard earned dollars in staggering, unheard of amounts to help me get elected, though many have never participated in politics before. He also says I am what you see, I am genuine and sincere in my words and actions, I'm running for president to help the American people, not the wealthy, powered elites who currently run American politics. Can't you hear him?

Dear nclwtk,

See Comment 1. Do some research yourself and you can then answer your own question.

What did he have to say? Truth.

Wasn't it fascinating that CNN never scanned the crowd?

Why is the MSM afraid to show all the people attending the rally?

Obama has worked hard for nearly a year and his message has been very consistent. People who say they don't know his policies or what he stands for are deliberately not informing themselves. Just go to BarackObama.com and read his policies on everything from the war, the economy, education, healthcare and so on.

He has run his campaign professionally and though he's made mistakes and isn't perfect, many of the people who post negative attacks against him say he's:
-An empty suit -because people don't really know who he is
-Unpatriotic - because of his association with Jeremiah Wright
-Naive -because he hasn't been in Washington long enough
-Unelectable -because America is not ready for a black president, and certainly not him

I hope the Secret Service protect him well because this is the most important election in a generation and the choices for the American people have never been so stark. It is also a generational shift election from the Boomers to the post-Boomer population with all the different attitudes towards race, religion and American dominance involved.

Tha is inspiring. He has run his campaign in an upfront and stalwart manner. I would be proud to have him be the "Captain " of any ship, anywhere!

Holy cow!! I watched the rally on CNN and they didnt span the crowd once. Well, it doesnt change anything I bet, the American people can see through the media smoke screen. Go BO our moment is now

The crowds at Obama rallies are truly impressive--people from all walks of life, all demographic groups. He is a leader who inspires us to be a better, more united nation. Most politicians talk about what they want to do when they are elected-- he talks about what we the people will do together with his leadership. Obama really can transform the electoral map-- moving beyond the slice and dice politics of the past couple of decades.

This guy almost have more power than the president. If he runs the country the way he has run his campaign, America will be a force respected around the world again.

This is truely the people's campaign, they raised the money not lobbyist, they have volunteered (change happens from the bottom up).

America I looking with hope that you do the right thing this time. By the way enjoy him when he becomes president because it is only for 8 years.

When is he going to finish? I want to know what he said there. Obama is amazing.

Posted by: chris | May 18, 2008 6:41 PM

Amazing. But what did he have to say?
