I'm not sure of the validity of this clip but if it's real then I'm changing my vote to Obama!!! This is disturbing.

The clip has already been shown to be doctored. It is disgusting that people feel the need to create smears while pretending to be taking the high road.

And for you, Indiana Hoosier, looks like you don't need to change your vote.

I am writing to ask people who are voting today to look at Obama's record on the Iraq war and how he has lied repeatedly when he says that he NEVER SUPPORTED THE WAR! He always voted to continue funding for the war and never gave a speech saying that he was against the war (and only voted for funding to protect the troops). You can read his speech on 11/22/05 at www.senate.gov. In paragraphs 24 and 46 he talks about the need to "extinguish the insurgency", etc. He also says that we need to bring the troops home. This is what someone who supports a war would say!

I am horrified that he has gotten away with lying to the public about such an important issue. People have voted for him because of these lies. His campaign manager and supporters are saying the same thing; the campaign people at the grassroots level don't even realize that he's lying! This is unbelievable! How will he lie to us as President?

Please tell people to look at the truth in his record - it's very easy to find it at www.senate.gov. I don't want a
President who feels comfortable lying about such a serious matter! PLEASE GET THIS MESSAGE OUT TO AS MANY VOTERS AND SUPERDELEGATES AS POSSIBLE!

I just posted a comment and would like to add that I realize that Senator Obama is saying that he does want to bring the troops home, even though his advisor stated to the BBC,(before she resigned) that when he is elected the situation may change in Iraq and that may not be possible.

What bothers me is that his speeches in the Senate are not consistently against the war in Iraq, and as he has said repeatedly, "I've always been against the war".

When you read his speech on 11/22/05, it seems as though he is trying to say two things that are very contradictory. He says that we need enough troops (I'm paraphrasing) to diminish the insurgency, but not enough to aggravate them. This is crazy, because I'm wondering how you can diminish the insurgency without aggravating them! It's so bad it's almost funny! I really recommend reading his speech on 11/22/05. It's as if he's trying to please everyone and in the process sounding like a typical politician. He also says something to the effect that he's not an expert on the war.

If people knew what he has said in the Senate about Iraq, and how he has lied to us over and over again, they would want to make sure that he is not elected to any office. What is so sad is that most people don't read his Senate speeches and want to elect him because they want a change.

I'm afraid that people are so worried about the economy that they are blindly voting for "change". History has shown that when people are worried about their jobs, etc. they will vote for people that (they have realized in hindsight) are not the best candidate to solve the economic problems.

I think we have a better chance on improving our economy if Senator Clinton is elected. She has concrete plan and more experience with politics in Washington. When President Clinton left office we had a large budget surplus.

I'm really interested in what other people think of this, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get Obama's record on the war out to the public I'd appreciate hearing from you.
