Katie, St. Paul, MN — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 21:28:13 GMT

Obama is again addressing the fundamental need for people to take back their government. He is the only candidate who is talking this way, the only candidate who is shining light in dark places. He has disclosed his financial records and tax returns. He has disclosed the earmarks that he has requested since becoming a Senator. Where are Hillary Clinton's and John Edwards' tax return disclosures? Why has Hillary Clinton not explained her earmark requests? It's simple. They cannot stand up to the light.

Wouldn't it be refreshing to be proud of our country once again?

What a hypocrite! Obama’s political godfather and closest ally has been blocking these same ideas in Illinois and the guy can’t take 10 minutes out from campaigning in Illinois to weigh in.

When Illinois Senate President Emil Jones lets the state Senate vote on Pay-to-Play and budget disclosure reforms then maybe Obama can be taken seriously. Until then, he’s just another pandering politician with empty promises and no substance.

The only politician I know who is not commited to his own agenda is Russ Feingold and he is not running for president.

Running for president requires thick skin and changing the way y ou present your values. It is an exercise in realism.

Which of the candidates you know is more transparent than Obama?

Edwards uses his poverty foundation to avoid FEC funding, pays his haircut from his poor donors money and works for hedge funds immediately after telling us how they are evading taxation.

Hillary is drenched in lobbyist money forever.

Elections have consequences and this time you can elect someone who'll change America and the world vs some more of the same. Have you heard how transparent Clinton is when it comes to her funding?

And by the way noone is scrutinizing any republicans yet. That's when the big laughter begins...

Wayne - Los Angeles, Ca. — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 23:18:30 GMT

What I like about Senator Obama is that he is an honest man and that he really believes in the American people. He is really trying to give us a chance to stop living in the muck and unsavory slime that our government has become. We are supposed to have the full access to our government and everything that they (unless it is some secret missions to stop our enemies - that are legitimate operations), otherwise we are the people and we should be able to see and know what they are doing at all times. By our vote we are simply hiring them to bring in the best people with the skills needed to do what we want and need done. Instead of congress planning to issue 40 million visas to foreigners to come in and work in the technology fields in the up coming years ahead, so that corporations can pay them less to do the work and then send them back to their countries and the corporations get to collect the profits (this way the corporations can bypass American workers to keep Americans from being involved and developing these skills in American workforce and they don’t have to pay American workers or share in the profits with American workers) and they can have more power to abuse the American workers. If they can keep workers unskilled, workers will have less power to demand fair wages. Obama can see what they’re doing and he will stop them. That’s why corporations want Hillary and not Obama. Ask Corporations who they would prefer between Hillary and Obama and see if they can look anybody in the eye and tell the truth.

Nathaniel, Kalamazoo, MI — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 03:45:03 GMT

Barack Obama is the perfect candidate for this moment in American history. The swamp in Washington needs so badly to be drained, and Barack Obama is the only candidate on either side who can say credibly that he's interested in cleaning it up. And like Lincoln, Reagan, and Kennedy, Barack Obama is a listener, and America needs nothing more now than a president who knows how to listen.

J. Smith, Portland, OR — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 06:18:08 GMT

I'm more interested in the speech content than in audience applause. And, so what if this audience applauded 'politely' at times, as compared to the 'usual loud cheers' from other audiences? Why should it matter? Please Lauren Applebaum, let your readers know.

As for Obama's '5 Step Reform Plan' - - it could be a refreshing change, and change is badly needed now. And, compared to the status quo, it's got a lot of appeal!

His plan sounds like it aims to serve America, be trustworthy, be ethical, be non-partisan, and be transparent. WOW! Sound too good to be true? Not in the case of Obama. It looks like he has embedded his personal characteristics in future policy content.

Because of his sound ethics, Obama's the best '08 presidential candidate. It's time for a change; away from abusive dynasties - - Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush; up to authenticity and hope - - to Barack Obama.

By the way, read both of Obama's books: the primer, "Dreams From My Father" and then, "The Audacity of Hope" . You'll discover, as many have, who Obama is, how he thinks, what his background is, what little 'baggage' he'll bring to the Oval Office, what his vision is, what his passion is, and what his priorities are.

This guy's for real; and Americans badly need both he and his leadership as our next president!

Obama’s five steps

UmValli Lowenthal, Randallstown, MD — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 10:15:20 GMT

Obama represents unity, clarity, honesty, and most of all humanity. What Obama have said and done so far as a young 45-year old son of America indicates that he is ready and capable of bringing a positive change not only to American politics but to the world at large.

What nation on Earth will not gladly welcome such an
honorable man to the helm of its leadership if it truly believes in Liberty and Justice for all or government for the people, by the people and of the people?

America must elect Obama if she expects to lead the World again.

what a lying and fake hypocrite...do you Democrat Obama supporters ever do any homework on this guy, what he has done vs. what he has said, where his money comes from and which corporations are backing him and waht they expect out of him

Obama’s five steps

TERRY SEATTLE — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 15:03:29 GMT

FACT:

Obama has raised money from MANY corporations INCLUDING:

Exelon, UBS, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, along with tobacco rich law firm Kirkland & Ellis, Time Warner, Viacom, Williams & Connolly, Level 3 Communications, Credit Suisse Securities, Lehman Brothers and Ariel Capital.

FACT: Barack Obama believes nuclear power is "green" and told the Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works, (of which Barack is a member) that Congress should allow "nuclear power to remain on the table for consideration"... (Employees of Exelon, which is the nation's largest nuclear power plant operator, have donated over $159,000 to Obama's presidential campaign as of March 31, 2007)

FACT: Obama, in one of his earliest Senate votes, departed with his own party and voted for class action "reform" legislation

FACT: Obama may not allow PACs to donate DIRECTLY to his presidential campaign, but he started a PAC of his own, which has donated to many other Democratic Party members, many of whom are staunch conservatives like Sen. Joe Lieberman

FACT: Obama backed Lieberman over Ned Lamont

FACT: Obama's leadership PAC is and has been loaded with the help of credit card lobbyist Jeffrey Peck, who opposes a cap on credit card interests and big oil proponent Rich Tarplin

FACT: Obama stood down and did not help while only California Senator Barbara Boxer stood up to challenge the clear cut theft of black voting rights in the 2004 election

FACT: Obama supports capital punishment

FACT: Obama voted FOR EVERY SINGLE war funding bill except the last one, and ONLY AFTER most every other senator had voted and the outcome was no longer in question

Let me be transparent: I believe, in both my heart and my head, that electing Obama president would transform our nation into one that is truly envied by ordinary people everywhere around the globe. Who am I: a 64 year old white male who, despite all the evidence to the contrary, still believes in our potential to realize the "one day we will all join hands" dream so eloquently articulated by Martin Luther King, Jr. some four decades ago.

>>>>Judging by the numbers, former North Carolina Sen. Edwards has spent less time cultivating the lobbying community, picking up only $46,900. And, his campaign said, most of those donors live outside Washington.

Obama’s five steps

Jake B — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 20:32:41 GMT

Yeah, I know what Obama's done:

"Obama has made ethics reform a central part of his political career. Two years into his first term in the U.S. Senate, he has had limited opportunities to leave a mark at the federal level, especially as a member of the minority party. But he has worked with Republicans on new good-government laws. He co-sponsored one, signed in September, that will create a federal spending database so Web users can track all grants, loans and awards greater than $25,000. He also pushed to limit the Federal Emergency Management Agency's authority to award open-ended, no-bid contracts in the wake of major disasters — a reaction to post-Katrina abuses. More to the point, last year Senate Democrats tapped Obama as the chief negotiator for their caucus in talks over post-Abramoff ethics reforms, though those negotiations faltered. Ethics reform was one of Obama's signature issues in Springfield, as well. Beyond the Gift Ban Act, he helped push Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich's 2003 ethics reforms. The gift ban law, the first broad ethics reform in Illinois since the Watergate era, prohibited politicians from using campaign funds for personal use, barred fundraising on state property, established ethics commissions, curtailed fundraisers in Springfield during legislative sessions and mandated online reporting of campaign finances. The 2003 ethics package created independent inspectors general with subpoena powers to look into abuses by legislators, statewide officeholders and their employees. It further clamped down on the types of gifts lawmakers can receive and prohibited lobbyists and their spouses from sitting on state boards and commissions. Obama also touted publicly financed judicial campaigns, an idea that was approved by the Illinois Senate but languished in the House."

Terry I think you meant DemocratIC. Or should we Democratic Obamma supporters start referring to you and your ilk as 'Republic' Bush supporters. Or I could call you “Tare” instead of “Terry.”I know it is vogue in political circles to denigrate and diminish the opposition. What ever happened to collegiality? What ever happened to civility? If you want politics to work ever again you must have enough respect for you opponents to at least call them by their chosen name. Otherwise good luck ever getting anything done in a bipartisan way. Face it we are a divided nation. I will never support some of the things you defend avidly and vice versa, but if this country is ever to find the common ground necessary for it to work again we must start with civility and common courtesy. So,Terry,please don't call me Stan. My name is Stanton. And my party is the “Democratic” party not the "Democrat" party. That would be a good start. Thanks

Otherwise please do not call him a liar and a hypocrite unless you have facts to support that statement. Come on Terry, be nice, and be fair. Obama is a class act, I hope you will take the time to get to know the person he is. Give him a chance and I think you will really like what you learn about him. Please start by reading his speech about why he didn't support going to war with Iraq. You will be amazed how right he was about everything he stated in that speech, he is a very smart man.

Obama's plan will restore the balance that once made this country unique and great. I want a govenment that is truly concerned with the best interest of the people and not the narrow, self serving and greedy demands of the corporations of the country and the world. It is my hope that the true patriots of this country are ready to rally behind a candidate like Sen. Obama. I hope we can get past the color of his skin and look at the content of his character, and; once again take our true place in history as leaders in technology, science, education, health, and service. Please help us fix this country, future President Elect Barack Obama so that we will be better able to reach a helping hand to the rest of the world.

J. Smith, Portland, OR — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 02:51:17 GMT

With regard to Senator Clinton: As recently as today on both 'Face the Nation' moderated by Chris Wallace, and 'Meet the Press' moderated by Tim Russert, their round-table, bipartisan guests' general consensus was that Senator Clinton's another version of hubby 'Slick Willy'; she dodges questions about her first Iraq War vote, prevaricates on issues, and sidesteps others, all the while hoping America believes her answers.

Some of her supporters say she's strong on creating policy. But, she's questionable in personal ethics and character. Writing policy necessarily links to her ethics and character; therefore, the policy's very questionable

In her pursuit of the presidency she will reinvent herself for political expedience; be all things to all people; say whatever serves her campaign purposes.

One Clinton campaign strategy I don't like: get to know her like Bill does. My question: Why now? Why wasn't she known as the 'softer, gentler, self-depricatingly humorous' wife of Bill Clinton of Campaigns '92 or '96? Where was that Hillary? This strategy feels fake and phony.

Those are some of the reasons why I won't vote for her.

The more I'm seeing of this guy, the more he impresses me. I would like to see him bring in a few more hired guns, because I'm not sensing his campaign is ready for the negative barrage that's coming his way sometime around August, September and October. He's up against some masters of the tricks.
