Welcome home Senator Reed!

Ain't it hot over there? Reed won't tell you, but I will. It gets up to 120 degrees in the winter, and hotter in the summer!

I feel for our military over there. It looked as though Senators Obama, Reed, and Hagel were being cooked in the visuals beamed back to us.

Beverly in Chicago — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:43:39 GMT

Senator Jack Reed defense, education, and health care issues is ideal for the issues at hand now in America. Whoever senator picks I trust will have America’s interest first.

Unlike McCain who has doesn't have the right chemistry with his choices.
McCain cries leave Iraq with honor. What honor? Amnesiac/Early Alzheimer’s candidate McCain honor means…
Honor thy neighbor as thyself! McCain probably doesn’t know this; being a warmonger.
Maliki and his people have they want out. Nour-al-Maliki even said he“feels America’s continued presence is not tantamount to an admission of defeat; rather a victory of a severe blow inflicted on al-Qaeda and the militias”.
Chuck Todd spinning McCain’s interpretation of the surge and he could win is not good. Point the finger at McCain’s ineptness. McCain Anbar Awakening, Czechoslovakia, Iran/Pakistan borders, Viagra’s 10 sec confused pause etc. deserve more attention.
Give credit where it’s due. Commend Obama not as hubris or cocky like Andrea Mitchell did; rather explain his extreme honor, respect, dignity, pride, love of America (the country he was born in), and Obama's understanding of what the face of America should be. You saw his prayer from the prayer wall in Jerusalem. Obama is a good man, father, husband, Senator, and will be a great World leader with America’s interests at heart.
Can’t you see that McCain has serious flaws, his policies, his temperament, his judgment, but most of all his gaffes. Are these gaffes due to diminished mental acuity or just expedient flip-flops or lies?

Chuck do you want to help elect a man with these questionable matters?

On McCain's 'convenient new time horizon'.

Senator Obama,

You've got him! He flipped! Not because HE went on a fact finding mission, but because YOU went to Iraq, and showed Senator McCain for the incompetent that he is!

Believe me, team Obama is carefully recording, catagorizing, and sub-catagorizing all of McCain's gaffes, and flubs.

We have not seen the last of these blunders. They will be rolled out at the debates with precision by our Harvard Lawyer.

Still no reporting on Robert "Prince of Darkness" Novak's hit and run incident? You have recently quoted the traitorous outer of a CIA operative several times for his "wisdom" but you won't relate how he hit an 86 year old pedestrian in the middle of a cross walk and then kept going. He said he didn't notice he had hit anyone even though witnesses said the victim was splayed across his windshield.

Obama, Reed and Hagel sure did look good on their trip abroad. They all presented themselves as leaders who could be trusted, unlike the republicans who looked like the keystone cops! Democrats all the way to the White House! The MSM is doing the republicans job for them, the ridiculous, mediocre blabber we have to put with and have to listen to when we look for Obama news, is disheartening, America deserves better, so does the News Channels who hired these people. I live for the day Obama is elected, that means the 15 minutes of fame these pundits are still living, will be over and we can all forget about them.

Obama is doing a great job in this campaign, but there is a lot of negativity going on against him also. I have never in my life time seen a person running for public office be scrutinized so much. Is it because of who he his? No one wants to come out and say it, but I will!!! RACE is the factor. Yes, we have come a long way on race relations, but negative racial atitudes still exist in these United States of America. Obama is damned if he do and damned if he don't. There is two things that really upsets a certain group of caucasians: A black person with POTENTIAL and INTELLIGENCE. Guess what people, he will be the next president of these United States of America.

You're absolutely correct, if only they would do their job, being a journalist that is!! why not be like Helen Thomas??? Besides they're not putting the real poll numbers out there. I wonder why? could it be that there's a conspiracy to rig the voting machines in November to get old McCain elected?

It's perfectly OK to choose Democrats in the House or Senate as long as they come from safe districts. That's why Webb was never going to fly but Biden can leave the Senar te and become VP without Dems losing a seat. He'd just be replaced by another Dem who would have no trouble keeping the seat.

We love our vets — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:36:31 GMT

To Ed,FW, TX

And lets not forget that just because McCain is a vet and former POW that doesn't mean he can vote AGAINST vets year after year, vote after vote and still claim that no one can question his support of our troops.

He supports the Bush tax breaks for the rich with nothing for the middle class AND he votes against funding for vets every chance he gets. He opposed the new GI Bill on the grounds that such good benefits would give people options instead of pressuring them to re-up. Besides we couldn't afford it although he had no problem with the price of the huge tax breaks he voted just for those at the very top. He only changed his mind and supported the new GI Bill, championed by D. Webb and R. Hagel, both vets, when it was clear it would pass by a landslide that he would be on the wrong side of. THEN he tried to take credit for it away from Webb and Hagel who fought him and other Republicans and the threat of a Bush veto tooth and nail to get it through. The man does NOT support our returning vets and behaves without honor towards those who do. Being a POW doesn't give him a free ticket forever to vote against vets and still claim he supports them.

What is blatently obviously is those bogus polls of the washington post. I am speaking from the experience of someone who was once a pollster. You poll from a specific demographic (mostly from your chosen leadership's areas) so that the data is skewed. The bottom line is that at no given time has McCain lead in the polls EVER!!!! Even with the help of skewed polls.

This is Destiny at work so therefore absolutely nobdody or no people or nothing can change the outcome. Sure it's the Economy but at the same time it's DESTINY STUPID.

Response to CNN Online Article by: John Blake

Could an Obama presidency hurt black Americans?

It is a sad day in America when someone who is as courageous and sincere as Barack Obama is reduced to nothing more than a “politician” by authors such as David Sirota.

As a 38 year old Portuguese and Native American woman, I have been inspired by Barack Obama in many ways. It is because of Barack that my African American husband, and myself registered to vote for the first time in our lives. Our family attended his rally at Seattle’s Key Arena this past February, and additionally participated in his caucus at a nearby junior high school.

While I could never deny how ashamed I feel of my ancestors who enslaved and oppressed our African American brothers and sisters, it is Barack’s clear message of hope and change that we can believe in, that captured the hearts of my family, friends, and millions of others just like us.

It is not what you do, but the reason why you do it that truly matters in life. The truth of the matter is that the hearts of many white Americans have been changed, and after generations of sin, they have progressively learned to love the way God loves, - unconditionally.

There was a time when many Americans could not look at each other through God’s eyes, they would either see what others did, or only what their eyes could see, or both, and some simply could not see past the ends of their noses.

Then, after years of truth seeking, and the pursuit of peace, hope, equality, and freedom, people began to see clearly while the grace of God washed away the manufactured fear and false reality that Socrates referred to as “true falsehood” (ignorance of the soul), commonly referred to as racism.

Mother Teresa says it best when she says, “People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are honest and frank; people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway, the good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.”

Barack Obama favors the American family, the American dream, and the “United States of America”, land of the free, and home of the brave! He will not waiver, and he can, and will bring change with the only three things that can sustain us,…UNITY.

The 200,000 German’s waving American flags for Barack Obama represent change, the record numbers of first time voters, and record breaking financial contributions to his Presidential campaign represent change.

We may have been taught to expect the worst, so we may later be pleasantly surprised when something better happens, but there are times when we must expect the best, and not let the fear of something worse disable our progress towards change.

Black people in America cannot be fooled into believing this emotionally driven media hype, they are far too intelligent and intuitive to be influenced by that sensationalized gossip which sells advertising space, and television commercials for CNN and FOX news.

My husband, and the millions of other African American supporters of Barack Obama are voting for him because of his message, not because of the color of his skin. A majority of black people do not care why white people are voting for Barack Obama, they simply feel that he is the best candidate for President.

Most black people want their sons and daughters to have a role model like Barack to look up to in this world. He speaks about the importance of having the father in the home to help raise America’s children, of parental responsibility to lead their children down the right path in life, and setting the right examples of how to live, learn, and work successfully.

The dream was for equality, not a handout, freedom, not war. Since when have African American’s been war mongers, or control freaks? It is not African American’s who have been predictably cruel and heartless over the years, so why would this kind and forgiving culture suddenly become the punishers of their former oppressors?

It is ridiculous for the media, and select few miss-guided Americans to suggest that Barack Obama becoming President will hurt the black race. I assure you that the majority of African Americans would support whom ever they thought would best serve our country, no matter what race they were.

The generation of ignorant voters who put Bush in the White House is dying off, and the truth seekers, who don’t need affirmative action, and could care less about the color of someone’s skin is not afraid to vote for an honest family centered man with faith in God, and the American dream.

This Presidential campaign was never about race or gender, until it made the news the most watched show on television. Let’s face it, the two biggest sellers are sex and emotions. But hope can be obtained for free with change that we can believe in, and an American dream that is shared with an honorable leader who loves God, lifts up his people, and humbly speaks in their best interest.

We all know the bush Regime made sure Obama couldn't meet with the troops in Landstuhl simply because they didn't want the troops to see a retired General officer giving Obama support. I believe Bush and his cronies will do anything to thwart the election in Nov. whether to keep bush in office via marshall law or to make sure their puppet MCBushy is President. for the first time I am truly afraid that we are headed towards and impending doom.
