I just don't think he is the best candidate. The big sticking point in the general election is he will raise taxes ALOT.
The best thing about Hilary is she already has the skelitons out of the closet. She strong on the enviroment, she's election tough, (remember Obama has won one statewide election, and that was against late fill-in Allan Keys.)
He is just to far left for a general election against the moderate like Rudi.

I am not in the least bit frightened of Obama but campaging for him will further split and fragment the “Democrat” party and what with the Hsu scandal going to get much worse, HilBillary's chances are diminishing.
Obama could not win the general but could very well win the nomination and that would be just fine by me! Fine by me!
Obama is pretty face and a good mouthpiece for the Left but has the substance of a bell jar…vacuous.

So, when someone who connects himself with a hate group begins to spout off on things that suggest, or even hint, at racism, it isn't too much of a stretch to read it as actually being racist.
Now the spam e-mail guy wants to join with the racist to try and stop the Democrats. What a (big yawn here) shock.

And LiberalDude's assertion that merely typing the name “Barack Hussein Obama” is racist is ridiculous. That's his real name. If you think it's racist, take the issue up with his parents. They named him.

Yes, you're right Barack Hussein Obama is Senator Obama's full name. So, why did you feel the need to post that? Seems kind of like a strange thing to do….. and then to have a comment about it being “American as apple pie”
Why would one make such a comment? Maybe to point out that Senator Obama's middle name is the same as the former dictator of Iraq? Maybe to try to say that this makes him less American than say someone named “Bob Jones”? Seems peculiar…..and prejudice…..and racist.

i think obama is a great guy! people keep knocking his experience— he spent 11 years in the state senate before becoming a us senator and several years before that as a community organizer in chicago. much better than hilary who basically weaseled her way into the senate because she stayed married to bill clinton. she scares me…yeesh!

I would rather he had taken another term in the Senate, then run for President; I'd like to see him have a little more political maturity and presence. He's a charismatic speaker, but lacks gravitas. After eight years of President Bush, I think we'll need someone to project maturity and discipline to reestablish our international position.
That said, he's in the race now so I might as well consider him. I like him better than Clinton, and loads better than Edwards, so I'll likely support him.

Marion. Thanks for the simple-minded partisan rhetoric. You're right marion. There are only “liberals” and conservatives.” Nothing in between. It must be nice to see the world in such black and white terms.
I don't think conservatives or liberals (whether the hell that means), have anything to do with America's social, economic, or political problems. Instead, its simple-minded partisan rhetoric that prevents change in the grey areas between “liberal” and “conservative” where most Americans find themselves. Partisan dogma distorts the political process and prevents constructive change.

Putting his name up and then commenting sarcastically on its American qualities, in such a situation there is no real alternative interpretation rather than attacking him based on his name, which is a result of his ethnicity. If you disagree, then by all means, illuminate us to your motivations in posting his name and then the sarcastic comment “American as apple pie.”

Yes, Barack Obama, American as apple pie.
Why not? I mean, I'm 'white'. My grandma grew up in Glasgow, and only one of my great-grandparents were born in this country. Am I a whole lot less American than most African-Americans, whose ancestors were all in this country over 200 years ago? I don't think so. I was born an American, just like Barack Obama.
I still think he'll win. The people who won't vote for “someone with a funny name” (cough, cough, codeword) haven't been voting for any Democrats since Adlai Stevenson. No loss to Obama.

To Whom It May Concern:
As you might have seen, vicious smears are being circulated in anonymous emails attacking Senator Obama's patriotism. These accusations are outrageous. As retired generals in the U.S. military and civilians who have served at the highest levels in the Department of Defense, we know something about patriotism, and Senator Obama is one of the most deeply patriotic Americans we know.
What makes Senator Obama patriotic?
We admire his long record of public service. Over the last two decades, he has served the American people as a community organizer, a civil rights lawyer, constitutional law professor, a state senator, and a U.S. senator.
We also admire his strong support for our troops and veterans. As a member of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, he has fought to improve care for wounded troops, slash red tape, and reform the disability review process. He also passed legislation to combat homelessness among veterans. As President, he will expand housing vouchers, and launch a new supportive services housing program for at-risk veterans and their families. In addition, he will improve mental health screening and treatment at all levels: from enlistment, to deployment, to reentry into civilian life.
Above all, we admire Senator Obama's courage in putting his convictions ahead of his political prospects by opposing the war in Iraq from the start. In 2002, Obama said the Iraq War could lead to an occupation of “undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.” Today, he's showing the same good judgment by fighting to responsibly end the Iraq War and by standing up to the rush to war with Iran, including opposing the Kyl-Lieberman amendment that would provide cover for an attack on Iran.
Senator Obama's personal history represents the best of the American Dream. His grandfather fought in Patton's army and went to school on the GI Bill. His grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line during World War II. His father crossed an ocean in search of the promise of America. And his mother taught him that America has a place for everyone's dreams.
Senator Obama's attackers are peddling lies and smears because they disagree with his strong opposition to the war in Iraq and the rush to war in Iran. They know that as President, Barack Obama will end the ugly, divisive, slash-and-burn style of politics that they have mastered. To all those trying desperately to discredit Senator Obama's patriotism, take it from us: we have served this nation for decades, and we know a true patriot when we see one. Barack Obama is a patriot. America needs him now.
Sincerely,
Gen. Merrill “Tony” McPeak, USAF (Ret)
Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, USAF (Ret)

burlington, Iowa (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois complained on Wednesday about an Internet photo that claims the Democratic presidential candidate didn't hold his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.
“This is so irritating,” Obama said when asked about the photo in Muscatine, Iowa.
The photo, which has circulated widely on the Internet, was taken in September during Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin's annual Democratic fundraiser. A message accompanying the photo claims Obama didn't observe the pledge.
Obama said the photo was taken during singing of the national anthem, not the pledge.
“During the Pledge of Allegiance you put your hand over your heart. During the national anthem you sing,” he said.
A woman who received an e-mail about the photo asked Obama about it Tuesday night during a town hall meeting in Cedar Rapids.
“This is the classic dirty trick of the campaign,” Obama said.
He advised the woman to tell the sender of the e-mail the real story. “You don't have to curse them out, just tell them they've got their facts wrong,” he said.

At this point I would like to divert from the main stream of this evening's symposium………(Homage to the Great Professor Tom Lehrer!)…..
You people are trippin' me out tonight so I figure that I'll mess with you a little bit and keep you good and confused!
Or aggravated as the case may be!
Ahem……..
“I Want To Go Back To Dixie”
Tom Lehrer
“..'wanna go back to Dixie,
Take me back to dear ol' Dixie,
That's the only li'l ol' place for li'l ol' me.
Ol' times there are not forgotten,
Whuppin' slaves and pickin' cotton,
And waitin' for the Robert E. Lee.
(It was never there on time.)
I'll go back to the Swanee,
Where pellagra makes you scrawny,
And the jasmine and the tear gas smell just fine
I really am a-fixin'
To go home and start a-mixin'
Down below that Mason-Dixon line.
Oh, poll tax, how I love ya, how I love ya,
My dear old poll tax.
Won'tcha come with me to Alabammy,
Back to the arms of my dear ol' Mammy,
Her cookin's lousy and her hands are clammy,
But what the hell, it's home.
Yes, for paradise the Southland is my nominee.
Jes' give me a ham hock and a grit of hominy.
I wanna go back to Dixie
I wanna be a dixie pixie
And eat cornpone 'til it's comin' outta my ears
I wanna talk with Southern gentlemen
And put my white sheet on again,
I ain't seen one good lynchin' in years.
The land of the boll weevil,
Where the laws are medieval,
Is callin' me to come and evermore roam.
I wanna go back to the Southland,
That “y'all” and “shet-ma-mouth” land,
Be it ever so decadent,
There's no place like home.

I really don't know the importance of straw polls for democarts in Kansas that even if he won the primary, no way does any dem. win the state.
That's why I don't know the importance of the South Carolina primary for Obama. It's not like any dem. can win that state. I like Iowa being the starting point, because that switches hands alot in general elections. I also always thought if HRC wins Iowa Caucus, she was a lock for the nomination. Still do, but that might be a close one.

I think it would make politics more interesting if the winner of the electoral vote were made president, and, unless the two were the same, the winner of the popular vote were made VP; otherwise, the second place vote getter would be VP. I could envision Obama as President and Huckabee as VP in that scenario. Wouldn't that be fun?

In the interest of full disclosure, Godot… my gums aren't the best, but they're not bad. I floss most every night, and I use Listerine, the citrus flavor. My dentist said to go ahead and cut it 1:1 with water, though… I don't need it full strength.
To clarify about Obama, though: He has healthy-looking gums for a guy his age **who has been smoking for several years.**
I can't say for certain that ciggies harm your gums… but neither have I heard about the Marlboro Therapy for Gingivitis.

So putting a hand over your heart determines your patriotism, and not your actions? That's like believing that accepting Jesus is the only thing you need to go to heaven, not good deeds. More shallowness. Appearances are everything, deeds are nothing. Why not go for more substance? Why not look at what politicians have done or not done? Will they uphold the constitution and our laws? Do they lie and keep secrets from the American people? My main question to all the candidates is: When and for what reasons would you ever use executive privilege to withhold information that should be shared with the people you represent, or with duly elected officials? The candidate that answers “never” has my vote.

BigPrune -
Are you insinuating that Obama is Muslim?
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library…
“That anyone, let alone a sitting U.S. senator with designs on the highest office in the land, would conceal being a Muslim for twenty-odd years while going through the outward motions of practicing Christianity (or vice-versa, for that matter) is a truly bizarre accusation. I'd be tempted to dismiss it as paranoid lunacy if it weren't so obviously a crass, politically-motivated smear.”

stand: You tell me you hate “c***s” like me, and then tell me to leave your mother out of it. Too funny. There are simply too many jokes to be made about you, your mother and “c***s.”
Seriously, if someone quotes from and provides a link to a white supremacist site, that is a pretty good indication that the person is a racist. Do you really think it is okay to do such a thing? Really? This is from where my comments about racism stem, not just the comments about Obama.
As far as racism, or sexism, goes, liberals like me have been calling people on their b.s. since before the '70s and '80s. Why do you think things aren't as bad as they once were? Do you think things have changed because of the conservative mindset? Hardly. It took liberal thought to change things, not the thought of those who wanted to “conserve” the status quo. They are called “conservatives” for a reason. Are you really so dim that you can't see that?

Wow! Did you just threaten me? It appears that you did. Exactly how do you think you can do something to me where the LJW staff can't do anything? What exactly does that mean? Please do explain.
If I use the term “spamboy,” and then you choose to self-identify with that name, don't blame me. How can you tell I wasn't talking about somebody else?
Gosh, the boys sure are getting creative with their use of the asterisk in their name-calling. I'm sure their mothers would be proud.

stand: Are you retarded? This is an honest question. If you actually think I would use the “n” word in front of you or anyone else (or at all, for that matter), then the only thing I can consider is that you actually have mental retardation. As far as how long I have been paying attention to politics, like I said before, it predates the '90s by a few decades.
Further, if you are going to attend these web conversations, please work on your grammar. It is truly atrocious. For example, consider your sentence, “Bozo your a idiot.”
The word “your” is indicating the posessive of “you” — as in, “This is your book. This is your pen. This is your pointed head.”
For the contraction of “you are,” as in, “You are retarded,” use “you're.” It should read, “You're retarded.”
Further, when using “a” before a word starting with a vowel, you should also use an “n.” Thus it isn't “You are a idiot,” but rather “You are an idiot.”
So, your insult should have been written as, “Bozo, you are an idiot.” An insult of another's intelligence usually has a better chance of hitting the mark if you use grammar above a sixth-grade level … unless, of course, you actually are in the sixth grade, which would explain a great deal.
Here is a tip: It often helps if you read the sentence out loud before you commit to sending the message. Many common grammatical errors can be eliminated by this simple rule.
Geez, didn't your mother teach you anything?

I do want womyn to succeed, so I will be hard pressed to change but Oprah is my favorite celebrity of all time and I take her opinion very seriously. She is a humanitarian forming that wonderful school in Africa for those people. She is the voice of Chicago. I have had weight issues as she has had. We have very much in common. I don't like Stedman. I absolutely loved her masterpiece motion picture, “Beloved.”
Mr Obama is a man. I'm voting for Hillary. Her husband was heavily influenced by her and he was the best president since Ted Kennedy.

She must have had a really bad day when Oprah announced she was backing Mr. Obama. I got tickled when I heard it! Isn't Oprah the original ''you go girl” thing?

first of all, no no no. ted kennedy is the one that killed that woman in a car accident. wrong kennedy.
secondly, it's ridiculous that people would vote for someone because their husband was president. my dad works in city government; it does not mean i'm qualified to be the mayor of a large city just because i heard my dad talking about that stuff.
thirdly, i really want a female president…some day. but i'm not going to vote for every woman who runs just because she's a she. that's not a reason…or at least, not a good reason, to vote for someone.
