You are about to lose the election – you have to make changes:
1. Take the high road - you have let Senator Clinton bringing down into the mud. You need to get back on about change. Do not fall into the trap of he said she said. Your message yesterday should have been: it is unbelievable that the Clinton campaign has evoked one of the darkest times in partisan politics. To indicate that Senator Obama is like Ken Starr is beyond wrong! It needs to be indicated that this was brought up first here by the Clinton team. You need to say something to the effect that by voting for Senator Clinton you will be taking the country back to a time of devicive partisan politics. And that by bringing up Ken Star you're reminding the country of the mess that the Clintons, the Republicans and the scandals in the late 1990s. Then you need to say this is all you will say about this. THEY have opened the door.

2. He missed an opportunity this week when Senator Clinton planted the seed of a combined ticket. At that moment you should've had a statement coming out and saying quote in no uncertain terms would you want to share a ticket. To do so you would be indicating that you do not stand for change but stand for opportunity. Your campaign is about change. By accepting a VP slot or by asking Senator Clinton to be your VP, you would be showing the millions of people that voted for you that you really do not stand for change. By coming out with a press release saying this now you are reaffirming your stance for change and not politics as usual. She did this to plant the seed that you could be subservient to her. Get a statement saying he will not accept a combined ticket in any way shape or form. If you have the power and that you were bringing people to this party, she is not.

Do they really want to go there? But maybe digging into Hillary that way, is a good idea. Who knows what will turn up, aside from Bill's indiscretions. The truth is, Starr single handedly set the bar so low, could any of us get by it? Obama wants to be the gentleman candidate, but he's up against a gutter fighter. He will have to get dirty if he wants to win. And so runs American politics.

I will not donate nor support any of your issues until you reign in the hate mongering and negative spewing of Robo Billary- Bin Laden - Bush - Saddam - McCain - Star R. Clinton and her evil twin Blow Job Billarry!

Robo-Billary - Bin Laden - Bush - Saddam - McCain - Star R. Clintons and her machine are trying to destroy President Elect Obama any way they can.

Luckily for all of us/we the millions that actually support him...we know the truth!

Can't wait until you idiots at/in the DNC and the US Media start reporting all the dirt on Robo-Billary and family, hence the Law Suits in CA Supreme Court (Paul vs Clinton) right now, where are their tax returns, Who all slept in the Lincoln bedroom for the Rain Maker blow job billy to sprinkel his favors after words, what about her never ennding illegal money from her Chinese fund raising guru?

I Can not support a candidate that.

1. Touts gender as a factor.
2. Is under investigation for illegal campaing finances: Paul vs Clinton
3. Supported Goldwater.
4. Involved in Whitewater controversy.
5. Claims vast right wing conspiracies.
6. Wont release their tax returns.
7. Was for NAFTA before they were against it.
8. Mandates Health Care and fines those who cant afford it.
9. Uses Republican tactics and then complains about so called tactics.
10. Has a split personality and is nothing more than a Machiavellian!
11. Did not read the intelligence reports and then authorized the war
12: WALMART where she was nothing but UNION BUSTING CORP. LEGAL WHORE!
(too many more to continue…)

Common you guys get it together and bring up some stuff on the Robo Billary- Bin Laden - Bush - Saddam - McCain - Star R. Clintons...or have they payed all of U so much money behind the scenes already? That you all choose to ignore her lies, flip-flopping, siding with the

This is SERIOUS stuff, it actually could have cost Him Ohio. Yet the Big news (MSNBC,CNN)the exception of KEITH OBERMANN has said little or nothing about it.

It is really a shame that these Obama backers refuse to see him for what he really is. That being a good looking, charismatic, and eloquent speaking man who lacks political experience and cannot beat Clinton in any of the major primary states. Winning red states in a democratic primary will accomplish absolutely nothing in a general election. Once he is again demolished in Pennsylvania we will hopefully have enough Super Delegates whom will realize that he is nothing but a "flash in the pan" candidate who has accomplished little to nothing in his political career other than voting "no' in authorizing troops to Iraq

I agree with the Obama aid. Clinton is a monster. She and her team have turned what was a contested yet fun race to watch into an all out blood-sport. The Ken Starr comment is beyond me. I felt Barack was kind of weak just going after her tax returns. It seems like a simple issue and is in no way worthy of the comparison.

At this point, If she wins, I'm voting Nader. Even if she makes Sen.Obama her V.p. What a joke that would be, she'd castrate his initiatives, then make him the Al Gore of her administration. He'd be nothing more than her puppet. I'd would not like to see that.

MKD — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:33:46 GMT

I can't blame his campaign adviser for calling Hillary a monster -- though it may not have been politically correct.

Hillary has been acting badly - she lied about the NAFTA contact with Canada - turns out that was her wrongdoing, not his - She misrepresented the subcommittee on which Barack serves (which does NOT oversee opperations in Afghanistan), she has endorsed McCain several times within the last few days and then she has the gall to tell OBAMA to be more positive. ...maybe he needs to fight for the Hope of which he speaks - maybe he needs to take out the volumes of files on the Clinton Scandals (Bills trist with Monica was the LEAST of them - Travel-Gate, Whitewater, The Rose Law Firm...those were ALL Hillary)

By the way...if I had donated to Clinton's campaign - I would be OUTRAGED that she is using MY money to campaign for the REPUBLICANS!!!

Hillary likes to say that she went through soooooooo much but, someone forgot to remind Hillary that you get what your hand puts forth. Everything that happen in that White House and ultimately to the American people were because of Bill and Hillary.

Hillary will not write the playbook for this election. She is a pathetic liar and she will never get Pennsylvania.

So, Hillary and Bill can visit all the black churches in Philly till they drop, it will not work for them this time.

Hillary would rather see a Republican in the White House before a black man, not a very smart statement for the crazy lady.

Last but not least, the news media can bury all the deceitful lies that she said about Obama but, we will play it every single day on the streets of Pennsylvania until Obama wins this state because he has won the delegates and the nomination.

It probably won't interest the Obama supporters, but the Starr comment by Wolfson was made IN RESPONSE to the Obama camp's PUBLISHED STATEMENT that they would go after Hillary's "ETHICS AND OLD LAND DEALS" i.e. Whitewater, Monica and the rest. However, of course, all the media is turning this into another attack on Hillary about raising Starr's name. Especially the so-called "journalists" at MSNBC, especially Matthews (of course) and now Olbermann.

I think the public should continue to ask the news media about Hillary's role in Canada/Nafta-Gate. She played the innocent while the media threw Obama to the wolves.
Also, I was shocked when I heard about Wolfson's comment about Ken Starr. Do they really want to go there? Maybe people should Google those investigations/trials. I hope everyone remembers that Clinton's campaign took us back to those days of
Whitewater; Travelgate; Monica Lewinsky/Impeachment;
Vince Foster; Paula Jones...this is most of Hillary's 35 years of experience. She should not want to go back to the scene of so much hatred and misery.

GOP_wants_HER_to_win, NJ — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:44:33 GMT

So, here we go to yet another Clinton must win in PA. And for argument sake, let's say she continues to do well, pulls some strings to get Mich & Fla in play, and (though still behind in the pledged delegates) she bullies enough super delegates to get the nomination. Great right? Hardly.

Will the youth vote (that she was quite ready to ignore until Obama proved they could be mobilized) show up for general? Some may.

Will the black vote (who have just watched the majority vote overturned) continue to come out in these unprecedented numbers?
You tell me, but I wouldn't.

And oh yeah, tell me what you think will happen when the Republican attack machine (once Obama is out of the way) starts parading a steady stream of her ex-president husband's extra martial lovers on the six o’clock news. That's not going to distract the voters come November, will it. That won’t rekindled all kinds of uneasy feeling parents across the US had trying to explain the relationship between a cigar, a stain, and what the definition of “is” is. I know those were some of my proudest moments as a Democrat. McCain will start looking like Santa Claus (or should I say an election escape clause) and then we can all sit back and watch the Bush tax cuts become permanent, the war continue on (and on), and say hello to the new Supreme Court tie breaker “my friends”.

But let’s face it. None of these things are as important as Hillary’s own political ambitions. That’s what’s really important; not the country.

Hip-Hip-Hooray! Hillary lives to see another election day.

AJ, IL — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:45:43 GMT

On the contrary, I think Obama could put some red states into play in November. When either Obama or Hillary get primary votes that total the top two or three Republican presidential candidates, Hillary winning over Obama with less than 10% of the vote in Ohio and Texas is a still a good sign for Obama. To think that traditional Democratic blue states like California, New York, New Jersey, and etc., will vote Republican in 2008 is really a stretch! Some smaller to medium size red states like Utah or Virginia might be converted under an Obama nomination.

What Charles and the rest of the Obama camp don't understand is that the Clinton camp is expected to do this, its not a big deal. The Obama camp has said they would not participate in any negative exchanges, however they probably did the least effective, most childish thing they could have resorted to, namecalling.

There is nothing about the Clintons we don't know. The lewinksy ordeal and other things are already known. Barack is saying look at her taxes, and the Clintons are saying for what?

Look into the Rezko-Michelle Obama history and the way in which she received a $200,000 raise after her husband became a US Senator. That is as shady as they come.

If Bill is up for discussion, so isn't Barack, his father, mother, and other family members, I am sure they do not want to have that discussion

Why is no one covering the NAFTA-gate story? Everyone was all too happy to jump on it when Obama was getting criticized and now that its backfired on Hillary, no one seems to care. If its time to dig up dirt on Obama, even though it was false dirt, they all report it before all the facts are in. Now there's a twist in the story and no one reports it? This is getting absolutely ridiculous, I'm done w/ our media. This is a huge story that our public deserves to hear about, but b/c the gatekeepers that be aren't reporting it, most people will probably go on falsely thinking that your inadequate reporting was correct.

Bob in Orlando — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:53:08 GMT

If anyone thinks Obama is any better than Hillary in taking the "high road" you are beyond naive. Look at all the people that are supporting him. Many of whom came from Bill and Hillary's supporters from the 90's. His "present" votes are proof that he is like any other politician, and will do what it takes to get elected. It's not wrong to make compromises, because everyone has to do it every day in life. It's a joke to say that you are above it, especially when you havn't walked a mile in the other person's shoes. He rants on about how he made the right decision when it came time to vote on the authority to go to war. After 9/11 Obama would have done nothing? That is not who I want sitting in the White House. Many terrorist are no longer a threat because we went to Iraq. Hillary should say that she has no regrets about her vote to authorize force and she would do it again. Meanwhile Obama's wink wink to Canada on NAFTA is just the tip of the iceberg in how he really feels on a variety of issues. If he is elected there will be many that voted for him thinking "he was different" that will be dissatified with the compromises that he inevitably will have to make to get things done. He won't be King Obama and he doesn't have a magic wand in his back pocket. If it wasn't for people like Hillary there would not have been the opportunities for Senator Obama to be in the position he is now. Hillary and Bill have done many good things for a lot of people for a long time, because it was the right thing to do.

Of course the media is trying to downplay and skirt the Hillary version of Naftagate because of how THEY pimped and preened the lie and handed it to the American people on a silver plate and slapped the label of "good" journalism on it. Their kow-towing to Clinton's whining, tears, fake outrage (this woman should get an Academy Award I tell ya...she's got Betty Davis and Joan Crawford in a 3-way tie for drama queen) and the cute little gender game she pulls at every step (but let Obama bring race into it and it would be front page news negatively portrayed) while stepping into the gutter at the blink of an eye when she isn't being served as the media monarch is laughable.

Susan White, Nashville, TN — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:55:48 GMT

If Hillary doesn't want to be called a monster, then she should quit behaving like one!! The truth hurts and the comment made by the Obama staffer was mild, compared to the truth of who she actually has become.

If the Superdelegates decide to back Hillary, they will deserve exactly what they get. Has everyone in the DNC forgotten how humiliating it was to tow the Clinton line and defend the indefensible? I bet they are remembering right now...

As a former card carrying member of the right wing conspiracy, I had actually forgiven the Clintons for their behavior during the 90s. I actually started to believe that the Clintons may have been victims and forced to play hardball during the scandals. Now I know better. Hillary's campaign has proven that they are willing to do and say anything to preserve and regain political power. I voted for Obama in the TN primary but had planned to vote for Hillary if she became the nominee. Now, I would not consider voting for Hillary ever!!! Her ambition outweighs any dignity that she may have regained as a Senator. I will not vote for a person that believes that their person ambitions are more important than the democratic party or the United States. Her campaign has signaled by their reference to the 90s scandals that they believe that the "ends justifies the means". It does NOT and I can only hope that the citizens of New York see who they have elected and choose to elect a Senator that cares more for the people, than for herself. No doubt that her behavior will likely prevent her from becoming the democratic nominee and hopefully from being reelected to the Senate.

I am not surprised but am extremely disappointed that she could not find it within herself to be dignified and set an example for young women interested in the political process. Instead they have chosen to represent the worst in politics and to go back to the time when the President humiliated her and the rest of the country. It makes me sick and disgusted. I will vote for McCain if Hillary makes it to the general election.

I'M BETTING THEY WILL BE NO BETTER BECAUSE HILLARY HAS THE MEDIA IN HER BACK POCKET. HAS SHE BOUGHT YOU ALL OFF?? AND PAT BUCHANAN...THE ONLY REASON YOU DEFEND HILLARY IS BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS WANT HER DESPERATLY TO BE THE NOMINEE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN TAKE HER DOWN. ENOUGH OF THE "SILLY SEASON" GET TO THE REAL NEWS. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW ABOUT NAFTAGATE & THE STATUS OF HER TAX RETURNS. MARK MY WORDS...THAT $5 MILL "LOAN" SHE GAVE HER CAMPAIN WILL SOMEHOW BE FINIGLED SO THAT WE THE TAXPAYERS PAY FOR IT. DON'T THINK FOR ONE SECOND THAT SHE WILL ACTUALLY "LOAN" THE MONEY WITHOUT A KICKBACK. IT WILL BE AT OUR EXPENSE. MAYBE THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T SEE THE TAX RETURN...HMMMM??? I AM OFF TO CNN...MSNBC IS PATHETIC!!!

Obama is a liar and associates himself with terrorists, racists, antisemitics, mobsters, and spin doctors. For all of you Obamicans that can't see through your hate for Bill Clinton's personal antics during his presidency to understand that Obama will be worse, Good luck to you and God help us...

First, I think it's unfortunate that Hillary will do and say anything to win the nomination, including dividing the democratic party. It seems pretty apparent to me that since she has been unable to win primaries/caucuses based on her own experience and plans to restore the economy and provide universal health care, she and her campaign decided to engage in the kind of politics that turn off a lot of people. Instead of answering questions posed to her, i.e., her national security experience, her tax returns, and giving the people a clear understanding on what it is she intends to do, she attacks, in a very nasty way, Sen. Obama and whines about the media. The media fell for it and instead of letting the voters decide who they wanted based on the issues, the focus became poor Hillary---has the media really been unfair to her. It has hurt the first female presidential candidate's feelings and the media better dig up dirt on Sen. Obama fast to make up for its actions. I thought she was tough and a fighter? I thought the media would be smarter. The result--the March 4 elections turned into a vote based on fear and half-truths and not the candidates' positions on issues. I am truly amazed that so many people buy into this kind of campaigning. It's very sad.

Second, although Sen. Obama has tried to stay on his message of change/hope, talk about the issues and has tried to stay above the fray, if he doesn't return fire in a real way, Sen. Obama will lose the nomination. If I were Sen. Obama's campaign, I would say unfortunately I have no alternative but to raise certain questions regarding Sen. Clinton's ability to be Commander-in-Chief because she has chosen to take this campaign to a lower level. Instead of campainging on the issues, Sen. Clinton has chosen the path of fear and smear. I cannot let these unsubstantiated attacks go answered. Unfortunately he may have to be more like the Clintons--seek and destroy anything in the way on the road to whe White house and worry about picking up the pieces later. Let's face it, if the democratics want change, we will ultimately vote for whichever candidate becomes the nominee and that is exactly what Sen. Clinton is banking on.
By the way, besides praising Sen. McCain above Sen. Obama, did anyone catch Sen. Clinton stating that the general election will be about national security? If that's the case and she is the democratic nominee, what is the fate of the economy and healthcare? She's a hawk.

You know, it every campaign surrogates make gaffes, blunders, misstatements, cheap shots (to borrow Abrams' term). Ninety-plus percent of the time is nothing but a distractor. A surrogate blows off steam, vents. Just like we all do. Its unfortunate but it happens in very campaign.

The trick is to understand when it becomes a pattern or otherwise indicative of something of substance with the candidate (i.e., something you can reall link back to the actual person running for office).

I don't think her remark was well-advised. But she realized she had inappropriately vented and apologized.

I think we can move on from there.

The Starr remark was curious to me, just what was he trying to do there?

You are exactly what is wrong with this country and why our culture has become immoral and indecent. If you think that your are representing Obama in a positive light, you are mistaken. You are proof that Obama has done nothing but attract gutter trash.

Wolfson said that Obama is like Ken Starr; Powers said Clinton is a monster. It is really the same statement - Ken Starr is simply a specific monster rather than a generic one.

Powers has apologized, will Wolfson?

WHOSE DESPERATE NOW?
AFTER READING THE BLOGS ON HERE I AM FEELING AS I USUALLY DO WHEN READING THEM THAT MOST OF YOU BLOGGERS ARE MORE INTERESTED IN GETTING RID OF HILLARY THAN YOU ARE OF ELECTING OBAMA. IN FACT I'LL BET MOST OF THEM HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE ABOUT ANYTHING HE STANDS FOR.
I THINK YOU ARE KENN STARR CLONES.

I AM 100% FOR HILLARY.
THE BEST ONE FOR THIS IMPORTANT JOB.
HEY SUPER DELEGATES--GET SMART--- YOU NEED TO CHOOSE THE ONE THAT IS THE BEST QUALIFIED.
THIS JUNK TALK THAT SOME IN THE MEDIA ARE SAYING ABOUT THE YOUNG VOTERS BEING DISCOURAGED IS CRAZY. MAYBE THEY NEED TO FACE THE REAL WORLD. THEY WILL HAVE TO SOONER OR LATER. GET REAL YOUNG VOTERS.
LISTEN TO THE CANDIDATES SPEAK. MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON FACT.

THIS COMMENT ABOUT HILLARY BEING A MONSTER IS MORE OF THE KENN STAR TRASH TALK. IT SEEMS TO ME OBAMA IS TAKING THAT ROAD. IF HE WANTS TO KEEP HIS HANDS CLEAN HE NEEDS TO FIRE THE PERSON WHO SAID IT. HE DIDN'T EVEN COME OUT AND DENOUNCE OR REJECT IT HIMSELF. HE IS A COWARD IN MY OPINION.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE COULD CALL HILLARY A COWARD.
ON THE CAMPAIGN McCAIN HAS ALLOWED ANOTHER NAME TO GET BY HIM UNREJECTED. NOW THIS FROM OBAMA'S SIDE ALONG WITH THE WIMPY WAY HE ALLOWED THE CLINTON'S TO BE CALLED RACIEST AND NOT REJECT THAT. HE KNOW'S THEY ARE NO MORE RACIEST THAN HE IS. OOPS! MAYBE HE IS.

I find it appalling myself that the major news groups aren't talking about NAFTA.Most of them are Republicians and would love for The clinton machine to win. Hillary and Bill was totally behind the NAFTA smear and the public should know so that we can make an informed decision. I feel sorry for Ohio being lied to about a very sensitive topic. I also feel sorry for the news groups who are trying to elect the clintons. Hillary wanted the newsgroups to focus on Obama so that she could steal the election. GOOD JOB!

I'm curious: Would a white person who had only 2 years in the Senate - 1.75 years of which has been spent campaigning for president - and 8 or so in a state legistlature, with no military knowledge or experience, and no achievements anyone can name be viewed as qualified to be president?

if any of you would take the time to read about how women ffinally managed to get the right to vote---you will learn it is not a pretty story.Women defied their families,were thrown into the streets,went to prison,died from malnutrition,disease and starvation.Do you know they fought with every tool at their disposal,they did not shrink from sight when they were called viscious names and told to shut up.Hillary reminds me of these women----so go ahead and call her names,sully her reputation,blame her for her husbands failings,make yourselves feel good because you bring back history into the fold.I have not heard Hillary call Obama names that hurt--she is fighting like a man ---he is fighting like a woman with the monster names,and the claws out remarks.Will he threaten Mccain with claws if he wins the nomination.He is a whiner and I do not need a whining president--we need somebody that will fight just as Hillary is doing.I trust her to fight for me---but I do not need Obama to whine for me.

Hillary supporters, are you OK with your candidate winning at the expense of the election and the reputation of the Democratic party? Is Hillary that important to you?

For pete's sake look up a few things. Hillary's 8 years in the senate is a joke. She only sponsored 2 pieces of legislation that made it to the president's desk and that was to set up a historical site and name a fricken post office. By your standards any first lady who had a prior law career would qualify as president.

The one thing she does have is experience at manipulating and intimidating the media and we all know the electorate is basically controlled by the media. I'm pretty frustrated that as a culture we have devolved to this level: choosing presidents based on whether or not you like their middle name.

If we take a pass on Obama and go with Hillary I will get the pleasure of posting "I told you so" here every day for the next 4 years.

Why isn't there more airplay about the latest information around Canada's Naftagate investigation, and the alleged comments by Ian Brodie about the Clinton campaign? Fair is fair--there was plenty of reporting on the Obama campaign's alleged involvement before the March 4 elections and despite questions about the accuracy of the paraphrased comments in the memo. If you choose not to wait until Canada's investigation is complete before reporting possibly inaccurate details about one candidate, the same should apply to the opponent.

Talk about NAFTAGATE. Harper is sorry, he didn't mean to get involved in our primary elections with the leak on Obama's advisor. He wanted to get involved in our general election by also leaking the story about Clinton's NAFTA contact. See, both Democrats are hypocrits. The Canadians probably also contacted McCain about NAFTA, but he probably thought it was an ingredient in naphthalene and refered them to the EPA, so he's not a hypocrit. See how that works? Harper gets his digs in while appearing to be fair. I can hardly wait for the next Canadian election; payback time.

Imagine if Sen. Obama had said the following:
"..And I know one way we could make a real statement for Mississippi and that is for Mississippi to vote for a Black man for president on Tuesday."

Do you think he would be taken to task by the supporters of the MONSTER?

I have the perfect solution to both states. It has been proven that ALOT of people for both Hillary and Sen. Obama did not vote because they did not believe that their votes would count. Since it is a record of the people who cast a ballot in both states simply allow the voters who DID NOT VOTE TO VOTE IN FL. AND MI. ALSO ALLOW THE PEOPLE IN MI WHO WAS TOLD TO VOTE UNCOMMITTED TO CHANGE THEIR VOTE TO EITHER CANDIDATE. Now this should appease all parties involved and should be more cost prohibitive than a complete re-vote.

Obama supporters rejoice!! Hillary has finally shown her true colors. Her supporters are showing us all how desperate they are to vindicate the fact that they have been supporting a viper all along!! Many Hillary supporters like to point out that the Obama campaign is acting "like" Hillary. Wow, has it not occured to Hillary supporters that the Obama campaign is based on moving on from the brand of politics invented by the Clintons. I'm willing to forgive the tactics of her adversaries as long as she is defeated. One or two negative comments by the Obama campaign do not even come close to the damage done to women's causes when Hillary paid for Bill's settlement in the Paula Jones lawsuit. That's an expensive price for her inability to keep Bill on a leash. GROSS!!

However, with the exception of him, I am disgusted by the media's ability to be manipulated by the Clintons over and over and over again.

OK...
Obama has been rated better by the Children's Defense Fund, 4 women's groups such as FEW and Civil Rights groups higher than Hillary.

Yet Hillary sells herself as being for these groups and Obama is not...

And honestly, everytime HRC throws something at Obama it comes back and sticks on her. For example, NAFTA...she said his camp contacted Canada when it turns out to be her camp and REZKO who she says has something to do with Obama yet Rezko contributed money to her campigns.

And she will be too busy in October to campaign for the White House because she will be testifying at a lawsuit involving BIll and Hillary (Chelsea is testifying too!)defrauding Peter Paul of money raised for Hillary's Senate seat race.

Knowing that...how can you NOT vote for Obama?

Obama supporters are a bunch of Fanatics because to this date they can not tell anybody what does Mr. Obama stands or his Clintonian agenda. It is obvious that most of these comments are from people with little regard for themselves and they rather hate Hillary than deal with their inadequacies; these are haters of anything and evereything that questions Obama's issues. Get a life, get a job and start contributing to this economy rather that been expecting handouts out of the call Change. Change for what? duh....
