Well what I saw of it he was giving alot of promises.. "When I am president I am going to stop this war like 16 minutes after I am president!! I will be giving every American free healthcare--- Blah blah..!" When I saw this I thought wow if we quit the war now won't there be chaos in Iraq and won't this enable them to do damage to us here in America? I mean I want the war to end as well but I want to see it be more stable if they quit the war not right now it doesn't seem like it is stable over there.What are all of your opinions on this?

I only saw part of it on the tv at 24 hour fitness and was reading the captions but I got the jist of it. I may not have all of the details right but I was reading it on the captions and saw the most part of it and I was like "LIES ITS ALL LIES!!" "Promises all promises" But anyways I was thinking if we all pull out of Iraq it would cause problems but I am not sure maybe it wouldn't maybe we would go back to living in peace but I would still be afraid of the worst happening

Barack Obama has been given the most reasonable and believable plan for getting out of Iraq. Obama has consistently said that after he his president (barring no more major middle east crisis develops), he would bring 1 to 2 combat brigades out of Iraq per month with the goal of having combat brigades safely out of Iraq in 16 to 18 months. The only combat troops that would be left would be counter-terrorism troops to fight Al-Qaeda elements and to protect American personnel in Iraq and our Embassy in Iraq. No other candidate has verbally stated a plan on national TV. Hillary won't commit on anything or offer a plan. Richardson has said he would have all troops out of Iraq in 6 months which has the potential to be very unsafe for our troops and leaves important military equipment in Iraq.
As far as healthcare, Obama has stated that he wants every American to have the opportunity to get affordable health care. His plan has numerous things in it. I recommend you go to BarackObama.com and read it. Hillary wants to mandate it for all Americans. I recommend you go to HillaryClinton.com and read it as well.

Re: "When I saw this I thought wow if we quit the war now won't there be chaos in Iraq and won't this enable them to do damage to us here in America?"
You make it sound as if we're keeping everything under control over there. Its already chaotic, and has been for a while. Who do you mean by "them"? The "boogie man" terrorists whose newest video tapes they can get their hands on, but never any real people. Or the individuals who are actually fighting our military? What do you expect... we're occupying their country, and the only thing that Bush has said is that he doesn't know when he'll send our troops home. We're at war in 2 different countries and spending billions of dollars each month. How long do you think we can honestly do this?
Re: "Well what I saw of it he was giving alot of promises.. "When I am president I am going to stop this war like 16 minutes after I am president!! I will be giving every American free healthcare--- Blah blah..!"
Personally, I expect any person I vote for as president to consider any issue that "directly" effects every american a top priority. What's wrong with Obama saying that he would rather shift our country's resources and efforts to our own domestic problems?
He has always opposed going to war in Iraq. Before you criticize him you should read his speech opposing the idea of going to war, you'll see the basis of opinions.

Did you see this speech on the comedy channel or the Sci.Fi channel. What is it with these Dem. candidates? They all promise bread and circuses for the peasants. They never tell them that they will have to pay for all these goodies in the form of higher taxes.

Barack Obama has promised many things for America but promises are said to be broken.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

Consider biking for a factual source.
Obama is sure not my favorite speaker,
but for certain he doesn't sound like a retard,
similar to the one who told us Sadam is able
to destroy the world within 40 minutes.
Shoot your tape or, who ever lied
at you and saw no recent speech.

It's already chaos. There's no saving it. Just more American blood and money. it's wise to leave.
As for healthcare, I don't think he said "free", now did he?

I think that is the same speech where he said no child will be without the Koran.
