You know, that's the problem we have in our pop culture society. People vote for or support someone they "feel" special about or have a gut instinct about with out looking at the last few decades of someone elses professional resume, padded or unpadded. He has not been packaged and managed to deliver that perfect soundbite or attack message to play the game of dirty politics better than the next guy (or gal). Obama, with his flowery, motivational and inspirational speech is the candidate that we need need to decry. He's not been in politics his entire life, or at least not in the last few decades. He's not seasoned. He dangerous because he is idealistic. He's a dreamer and we just can't have that!!! You know, because a dreamer is not a doer... He is just the same old devil.... you know the type, people like MLK, JOHN F. KENNEDY, ROBERT KENNEDY, MALCOLM X, MAHATMA GANDI, LEC WALESA...

2. Are you and the Clinton's seriously trying to equate obama with bush?
Oh go ahead and use that to try and promote your candidate. You'll look like a total nut. Obama is intelligent, thoughtful and articulate. He is inspirational just as those I mentioned in my opening post. Bush has never been any of those things. If you can't just listen to Obama and listen to Bush and recognize the stark differences between them. Its an issue of CHARACTER!!! There is a deep chasm between the two in that area and its obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

Frankly, after that debate last night, there is a deep chasm in the character between Clinton and each one of the remaining democratic nominees. She is a bitter woman who cannot deal with the fact that people are rejecting her. She came out with fangs and claws last night in an unprofessional and vindictive manner. She didn't handle herself well under pressure.

Don't let blind loyalty get in your way please.
