He is a law professor, and is accustom to studying the facts and thinking of relative issues and creative ways to sum up reality. This arena is full of lies and deceit - and he is about the truth and logic.

I believe him when he says he can do a better job as president than any of the rest. It takes guts to say those words. I am willing to let him have his chance, we can not do any worse. However with Rodham-Clinton we surely loose the race and our country.

I like him. I meet him up close and in person once. He is very smart! Unfortunately,we still have to many back woods, red neck, mentality types still here in this country! (It doesn't matter if they come from a city of 100,00 or 100,)They only like older white men, and they will only vote for the older white man! I have even heard women say "I don't think our country is ready for a black president. as well as I don't think out Country is ready for a woman President." That leaves Hillary Clinton out as well.

well then you might as well vote for Hillary or Giuliani then, all three of them have almost the exact same positions.. he voted in favor of reauthorizing the Patriot Act, he cannot commit to withdrawing the troops out of Iraq by 2013, possibly later.. He hasn't ruled out using strikes against Iran, not to mention the same vote he criticizes Hillary for, he missed himself and sponsored the exact same legislation designating the IRG a terrorist organization in back in April.. He implied that he would invade Pakistan, without the consent of their government.. He made votes making it more difficult for average citizens to sue big corporations.. He has no consistency on the issues of social security and taxes, in the very beginning he was for raising the cap, then having all options on the table, then appointing a bipartisan commission, now he's back to raising the cap.. He receives contributions from lobbyists, corporations and interest groups.. He promises "change" but he has neither the substance, the experience, nor desire to deliver this change..
but what difference does it make if Obama dodges votes, lies about his campaign contributions, and suppresses his record? in his speeches he says he is for "hope and change"... thats all that counts right, so we should just disregard all of this information? It's your kind of blind support that got Bush elected..

I get your point oc, either you like a candidate or you don't. And I am voting for Obama too, millions of us are voting for him and we will not look towards any other candidate. I agree with your summation. It's a win-win situation, and the man has moderates, independents and liberals, an interesting amount of conservatives as well from both parties that like him, and nearly 40% democrat are looking at him. I will e-mail you what my Dad sent me from Washington, D. C. It's a blast, and your Hillary R-C has received the same stats from what I hear, she is steamed!
Have a great day tomorrow.
Let me make this perfectly clear. OBAMA is better than Hillary "Fat-but" Clinton anyway you slice it. Coming from a real woman who knows she is a liar, and I do not give her the time of day, and neither does my father who she wants attention from. Not happening, ever.
oc - some of the people on here are weird and stupid over the liars plea.

Well, I would love to stick with him. I am an African American that thinks this country is to silly to vote for him.....mainly because of his color. He is certianly one of the best candidates, on both sides, by far. His "greeness" is a good thing. Why? He has not been corrupted by the system. He did look terrible on the last debate, I must say. However, I know he generally wants to pull this country together. I do not think he will win, but I will vote for him anyway.

Hilliary was anointed the Queen of her party long ago. Barack is being a "bad boy" for pointing out her all too obvious flaws. If he will just tuck tails and run off like Queen Hilliary wants him to, she might forgive and reward him with a 5-minute speech in the afternoon at the next democRAT National Convention. If not, her machinery (think Billy boy, James Carville, etc.) will sharpen their long knives and slice him into a piece of human Swiss cheese (metaphorically speaking, of course). Then he'll have the "loser" tag hung on him permanently, like Al Gore and John Kerry.
Doesn't matter that Barack is smarter and has more experience than Queen Hilliary, she's going to toast him in the primaries. I foresee him bowing out of the race after losing in New Hampshire.

He says he wants to help middle and low income Americans. But he supports illegal immigration. He voted for the Amnesty bill and the Dream Act. He voted to give illegals SS benefits. How does all this help Americans? Just one instance of saying one thing and doing another.

that fool won't even acknowledge the pledge of allegiance or wear a flag pin (his excuse is "i want to *show* the people my patriotism) ..give me a break. he doesn't give 2 hoots in halifax about this country. he's inexperienced, he does not have the skills to manage and lead, all he can do is argue and sling mud. he has campaign managers and speech writers (who have him sitting on the fence on most issues) to do his *politicing* for him. people just sat up and took notice of him because he's younger and seems to have fresh ideas, in reality it's the same BS...different day~

No. The man didn't even bother to show up for the Iranian guard vote . . . he was to busy running for President. So what's more important . . . averting war or your campaign? The line was drawn in the sand and he didn't even bother to show up. What an A$$
