America wants to elect the black boy raised by a single mother wandering from Hawaii to Indonesia to Kansas to Illinois. America wants to vote for the American dream. That the African father who died of AIDS or Malaria or something similar in Kenya could father an American son who rose to editor of the Harvard Law Review--who rejected high paying firms to become a community organizer on Chicago's south side and became a US Senator.

It isn't the policies that matter. The issues are dead in this election. There is nothing you or I can do to change this fact.

Obama will become the next president. The American dream will win.
Not with a cost of 53% tax burden to pay for his dream. With Obama, America dies a slow painful death. He is a man of no morals.

Obama's voting history on the hill is one of the most liberal in the entire Senate. Even more than Billary's...and that's pretty damn scary. He's more extreme left...than most. Socialism is on it's way.

Being a great orator does not and has never equated to great leadership. Though I'm not surprised how easily duped people can be.

Basically whoever wins the Presidency......Obama, McCain, Clinton....we're doomed to another 4 years of shitty leadership.

Obama is like an American Idol phenomenon. No experience, but relatively more charisma than the other lunkheads in the race, which makes him look much better than he really is.

Except he'll turn out to be more like Ruben Studdard than Kelly Clarkson.

And for the first time in my adult life, I'm really proud of my country.

I weep for my country because as we near breaking the color barrier for the presidency, we will forever be saddled with the legacy that a complete incompetent was the person that broke the barrier. A pyrhhic victory.

Lucky for us, GWB lowered the bar so far it is buried under the sand, and by comparison an ostrich would be competent as president.

What GWB has or hasn't done in no way makes Obama any more attractive a candidate. If GWB was running for office again, your comment might have merit, but since he isn't, it doesn't.
