I'm appalled we will &amp;nbsp;have a President with such a poor command of the English language: um..hmm..mmmm..ah..err just don't sound very presidential. &amp;nbsp;There's the Obama who says he wants to unite us all but went to a church for 20 years where the mission is to preach separatism and racism. there' the Obama who says he loves this country but hangs out with people like Bill Ayers, Wright, Pastor Pfleger, Rev Meeks (biggest homophobe int he country.) And, of course, there's the RACIST Obama himself who denigrates his own grandmother calling her &amp;quot;typical white person.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;There's the RACIST Obama himself putting down small town mid-Americans, criticizing their beliefs in religion and gunownership and calling them BIGOTS. &amp;nbsp;There's the Obama who puts down Hamas but the US head of Hamas is listed as one of his fundraisers on the Obama site. &amp;nbsp;This can go on and on. &amp;nbsp;Plus, add all his flipflops on issues, and it is easy to see why people say they don't know who Obama is. &amp;nbsp;I'm not sure Obama knows who he is. &amp;nbsp;Sometimes, I wonder if his shirt came off if there would be a wind-up mechanism on his back?</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098146</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:02:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098146</guid><dc:creator>brian queens ny</dc:creator><description>obama is a wounded puppie he has lost half of the states&lt;br&gt;in the the last month and hillary has beat him like a &lt;br&gt;bad mop. the only thing he has done is thrown his people under the church bus because things have gotten too hot for him so it was alot esier to get rit of them. thats after twenty years of being on there side and getting ahead in his career because of the people in his church.&lt;br&gt;he should be ashame of what he has done to them so now&lt;br&gt;he just do'nt like whites and hispanics he also don't like blacks.</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098147</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:02:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098147</guid><dc:creator>LENI,WESTLAND,MICHIGAN</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;Solutions to the world&amp;quot; what hubris. </description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098153</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:03:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098153</guid><dc:creator>Marcus, Chicago</dc:creator><description>Too liberal for Minnesota?

What significant legislation has Obama ever passed in the US Senate? The Illinois Senate?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. What US Senator or Congressperson is more liberal then Barack Obama?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3. What policies has Barack Obama put forward that:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;a. Help win the war in Iraq?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;b. Help fight global terror?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;c. Make the US safer?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;d. Reduce the price of gas?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;e. Allow for additional searching for fuel?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;f. Made buying a home easier/safer?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;g. Have had any impact on anything?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;4. As a 'community organizer', what did Obama organize?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;5. Barack Obama probably organized many anti-crime initiatives in Chicago so:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp; a. Why is crime at an all time high in Chicago?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp; b. Why do gangs still run the streets in Chicago?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp; c. Why are guns unavailable to the common man in Chicago, but easily accessable to criminals?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;6. Why did black separtists like Rev. Wright, Fr. Pfleger, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Farrakhan all locate in Barack Obama's Illinois senate district?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Looking forward to your replies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098186</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:11:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098186</guid><dc:creator>donna</dc:creator><description>The GOP is already so desperately frightened of Obama!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He's got them right where he wants them; on the run!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is time for the dems to be confident!

Wait until the General Election starts and McCain starts falling all over his words and thoughts as Obama attacks him ruthlessly in these debates. McCains anger problem is going to start showing also as he gets upset at the fact that he is getting the whipping of his political life. The voters who pay attention will have an easy choice come this election. John McCain isn't even a real conservative. He's a flip flopper who had the judgement to look for Hagee and Falwells love. Now he's running on Dubyas past failed policies.</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098271</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:34:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098271</guid><dc:creator>Marc, Rohnert Park, CA</dc:creator><description>The RNC is worried that Obama is going to pack more folks into that arena than they will for the convention!</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098273</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:34:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098273</guid><dc:creator>Chris from Baltimore</dc:creator><description>The RNC?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah, we tried their policies for the past eight years and have seen what that's gotten us...huge government, massive public debt, unnecessary and ill-conceived wars, a divided populace, a disfunctional Congress, and a dollar valued so low that gasoline now costs most of us over $4 per gallon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah, the American public is really gonna listen to what those jokers have to say.

If you've loved the past 8 years, you'll love McBush. &amp;nbsp;He's what &amp;quot;Conservatives&amp;quot; are all about. </description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098364</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:09:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098364</guid><dc:creator>V, Chicago</dc:creator><description>That's a blast? &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098368</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:10:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098368</guid><dc:creator>Lex Wright, Seattle, WA</dc:creator><description>Obama will fry the old man in the debates. &amp;nbsp;I hope he doesn't drive the old coot into a heart attach or something...</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098374</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:13:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098374</guid><dc:creator>KIP</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;to coming within 90,000 votes of giving its electoral votes to George W.

We are not going to have our first black president in 2008-2009. It is just not going to happen. You look at the headlines on MSN.com and see &amp;quot;Does this man really feel blacks are less smart&amp;quot;. Who are we kidding? Our Democratic selves, that is who! We need to have a change and the only person that may be able to stand up to McCAin is Hilary. Face it, what we saw in the debates is telltale of what will come as we progress through these next few months. Hilary was given the first question, she answered it on her feet without missing a beat. Whether you feel good or bad toward the Clintons you have to see that she is the best person to be in the Whitehouse to make the changes we so desperately need. There is no way possible that Obama will win against McCain. When we have Super Delegates that have the last word, why do we even vote? Do you realize that we do not even have a good understanding of why we have this group deciding our fate as a nation?! Democracy is not even alive here in the USA never mind bringing our way to other countries. I often think that the average IQ of the typical American is in the double digits. When we take a look at the issues and what we need ot change we have failed to educate ourselves and stop making a decision for who would be the best President based on the facts we tend to go by our feelings or worst yet the look at the delegate...how handsomeor good looking. If all plays out how the Republicans wish, we will have McCain and Romeny in the Whitehouse and we will have another 4 years of what we just had. Congratulations America! This is why our neighbors look at us as pathetic. We are. If our election were held in 3rd world country we (as Americans and most definetly baby Bush) would come to the aid of that country crying foul. Look at what has transpired for our last election and what is about to happen for this one. We have to be sleeping. This is why we deserve our President.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098506</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 01:25:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098506</guid><dc:creator>DFLer, MN</dc:creator><description>MN won't be in play this year, no matter how many times the MN GOP and RNC say 'liberal'. &amp;nbsp;The idea that the state is trending Republican is ridiculous. &amp;nbsp;The only good year for Republicans in the state was 2002 because Senator Wellstone died and Pawlenty had a 3-way race for governor in which the Green, the DFLer-turned Independent, and the DFLer won 56% of the vote. &amp;nbsp;Bush got close in 2000 because Nader got over 5% but Kerry won by a pretty comfortable 3.5 points in 2004. &amp;nbsp;In recent years, the DFL has taken a veto-proof majority in the state senate and are close to a veto-proof majority in the state house. &amp;nbsp;In 2006, The DFL won the open U.S. Senate Seat in a blow out, picked up a U.S. House Seat, won all of the constitutional offices besides governor (Which Pawlenty once again won in a 3-way race), and picked up 6 state senate seats and 19 state house seats.</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098513</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 01:36:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098513</guid><dc:creator>Levi Cro</dc:creator><description>now that there is funny... &amp;nbsp;Mn a gop state.. &amp;nbsp;ha ha... &amp;nbsp;when you wake up I spose reality will set back in....</description></item><item><title>GOP blasts Obama on eve of MN visit</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/02/1098096.aspx#1098526</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 01:42:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1098526</guid><dc:creator>Sue, Chicago</dc:creator><description>McCain can't even keep straight the factions in Iraq. &amp;nbsp;He's had plenty of time in the Senate to work out solutions to the big problems that have plagued us for years. &amp;nbsp;He doesn't want to solve the health care crisis, the middle class crisis, or the war in Iraq. &amp;nbsp;He's been all over the board on immigration. &amp;nbsp;He wants to make tax cuts to the wealthy permanent.
