It is such a relief that someone has gone beyond the Hollywood cartoon writers and got educated himself. It is SOME SCARY STUFF RICK! If the kind of stuff that Obama has worshiped in the past was in McCain's or Palins history it would be OVER FOR THE BOTH OF THEM INSTANTLY. People are so decieved it's sickning!

Yes Rick. Lets investigate some of the past news beiefs of Obama. I think the picture of him not holding his hand over his heart during the National Anthem is one step. Next, his beliefs that his mentor/pastor/ministor/preacher has that was so worshiped against Americans....especially white american't, but were not allowed to say that. Oh and Obamas comment on his Grandmother 'BEING A TYPICAL WHITE WOMAN! oh my !!! If McCain had said such about his grandmother being 'A TYPICAL BLACK WOMAN" THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF HIS POLITICAL CAREER. My sister in law and niece are black women to whom I adore. Should I call them typical black woman?

Yes, Obama was going for the sarcasm/laughs, and doing so by injecting the lipstick comment. He just doesn't have enough gumption to say that's what he did. So what, politics is ugly, but don't lie -- have the testosterone to admit it. Just like when he was accused of throwing the race card in one of his speeches, which he did, by stating that he doesn't look like any of the presidents before, and then denying it saying he meant something else. He's like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar -- pathetic. Obama is educated man, however, but he espouses change by condemning the status quo without a plan to achieve "nirvana" for our country -- charismatic, not substantive. McCain looks more like a democrat than Obama - Obama's way out in the left, but McCain is the lesser of two evils if the following are what is important to you: protecting the unborn, preserving marriage between a man and a woman (civil unions are ok, but don't redefine marriage), less and lower taxes, maintaining a government that doesn't kowtow to the UN, and appointing judges to the courts that don't legislate from the bench. It's a shame that the democratic party has been hijacked by every liberal cause known to man - the country needs to get back to the basics of family, personal responsibility, and people taking care of themselves. In this country, we're given an opportunity to get an education, but it's up to each of us to work our butts off if we want more than minimum wage for ourselves and families. Gosh yes, it's hard, but what isn't. I don't think we're entitled to health care either unless you're a widow, orphan, veteran, and the mentally ill, but everyone else needs shape up, get a job, show up on time, work hard and live within their means.
