Boos for Easley, or his endorsement?

Obama voted funding for the war in Iraq. He did not get legislation passed to stop the war. His "anti-war" speech conveniently coincided with the liberal constituency that had elected the THEN STATE senator. He later took it off his website when it was not so "convenient".

Grade school tone typical of Obama supporter.

You might use more sophisticated language and arguments and I might change my mind. But ranting never has and never will.

A woman with as much self confessed baggage as Hillary and with a husband and a political machine that destroys anything in its path is not more attractive to me than a man with intellect and vision who has not been in the basement with God knows who for the last 20 years, never paying rent and never having a normal life and only engaging in the wisdom of winning rather than serving.

Why is Barack Obama the best candidate for President of the United States of America?

“The day I am inaugurated, this country will look at itself differently….”
(Feb 10 2008, Alexandria, Virginia)

Whether it's the poverty exposed by Katrina, the genocide in Darfur, or the role of faith in our politics, Barack Obama continues to speak out on the issues that will define America in the 21st century.

#1 Barack Obama has a clear and hopeful vision for our country. Evidence of his good judgment is his opposition to the invasion of Iraq from the beginning.

#2 Barack Obama is the candidate with the broadest life experience, having lived in many different cultures and holding a degree in international relations – these form a firm foundation for diplomatic relations and leadership in the world.

#3 Barack Obama is a candidate of principled leadership, the ability to listen and negotiate with multiple players of diverse opinion and background. He has a gift to facilitate a new kind of politics that rejects a bunker mentality and partisan gridlock and paves the way to provide effective governance and policy reform.

Full of substance - are you going to elaborate on a disaster that could be worse that full-of-baggage Hillary?

AD NAUSEUM ...

Saleanna: "I could go on and on..."

Wake up North Carolina! Google Obama and Sinclair. Its not too late to stop a disastrous Obama candidacy.

Body: MY FELLOW "BITTER", STUPID, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE :-)

If you think like Barack Obama, that WORKING CLASS PEOPLE are just a bunch of "BITTER"!, STUPID, PEASANTS, Cash COWS!, and CANNON FODDER.

:-(

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton.

:-)

Best regards

Working Class :-)

p.s.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you don't know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to try and defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering...

You see, back in 1993 Hillary Clinton had the audacity, and nerve to try and get quality, affordable universal health care for everyone to prevent the suffering and needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of you each year.

:-)

Approx. 100,000 of you die each year from medical accidents from a rush to profit by the insurance, and medical industry. Another 120,000 of you die each year from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don't die from. And I could go on, and on...
