Yesterday, Brownback said Obama was non-partisan when on at least 5 occasions, he and Obama worked on bills together (see Countdown, Friday, June 27). Today, a quote from McCain stepping on his own press release. It's the same sort of incompetence we've seen from the current resident of the White House. If this is a preview of his presidency, I want no part of it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Seems more sensible to me that rather than wasting our time trying to round up 12 or more million illegal immigrants so that we can deport them, offering a pathway to citizenship, with no preferential treatment, would be a more responsible and sensible way to go. &amp;nbsp;No argument, we need to secure our borders and ports. &amp;nbsp;Obama is for that and for a common sense approach to the illegal alien problem. Let John McCain separate the children of illegals, born in America, who are US citizens from their parents. &amp;nbsp;We are a much more compassionate people than that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Obama vows to be Latino champion</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/28/1173885.aspx#1173921</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:23:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1173921</guid><dc:creator>Linda, AR</dc:creator><description>This goes to show McSmile and his entire campaign is &amp;nbsp;senile.

Just as AAs have been shown the level of power they held in their hands, by being unified in their voting bloc, Hispanics have that same power too. Senator Obama openly gives them credit, and perhaps has informed them of something they too, like Blacks, may not have known before this election.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The most blessed thing about this election cycle is the overwhelming support for these revelations, which is the affirmation of solidarity given by White Americans, who love the promise of equality for all US citizens.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Equality for all. Empowerment for all. Respect for all. I love my American brothers, and sistes, and I love my candidate.</description></item><item><title>Obama vows to be Latino champion</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/28/1173885.aspx#1173936</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:47:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1173936</guid><dc:creator>rallen,kentucky</dc:creator><description>why is it when John Mcain changes his mind about something the new york times calls it flipfloping but when Obama changes his mind its called pragmatic shift, goes to show how fair the press is.and why was it when Bush went to eurrope large support wasnt shown and minor anti war oponants were front page, the press is not even handed, they only show what they want you to hear. why is it conserative governments are coming to power all over the civilized europe but only liberal views make it into american press. and ill bet this doesnt make it past censors.</description></item><item><title>Obama vows to be Latino champion</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/28/1173885.aspx#1173937</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:50:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1173937</guid><dc:creator>BJ, CA</dc:creator><description>Absolutely...sometimes when bad bills reach the Senate must reject them...Barack Obama keeps out the special interests....Just exactly what his platform said it has to do... &lt;br&gt;McCain must realize from day one he's out matched ..&lt;br&gt;By the way how's the no campaign wekend going?...&lt;br&gt;Most recent Flipper Watch...anyone counting Joe..</description></item><item><title>Obama vows to be Latino champion</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/28/1173885.aspx#1173951</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:12:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1173951</guid><dc:creator>Mox</dc:creator><description>Latinos arent stupid or are they sheep. They will not be told who to vote for Obama wont be able to twist there arm. Hillary was the person did most good for them and if she isnt the nom, than I think McCain would help them the most. Obama is to busy with some race or other if not this he will find another. Since Farrakhan said he was best for country and world he uses the world factor too. We may all be ineffective.Obama has used the old Chicago political ( change what?) tactic of sending protestors he did it to Bill and Hillary a lot too. Can someone tell him he doesnt have the nomination yet.</description></item><item><title>Obama vows to be Latino champion</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/28/1173885.aspx#1173964</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:23:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1173964</guid><dc:creator>jill, philadelphia</dc:creator><description>Another demo for Obama. &amp;nbsp;Hey, I thought the Latinos were supposed to go for the Republicans? &amp;nbsp;I guess the CW is wrong again.</description></item><item><title>Obama vows to be Latino champion</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/28/1173885.aspx#1173966</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:26:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1173966</guid><dc:creator>RON, PHILA.
