I will vote for MCcain in Nov if Obama gets the nominee. It is just this simple.

Obama supporters cannot name any legislative accomplishments because there aren't any. Someone above tried to post his "thousands" of bills piling together Illinois State (6 y) and US Senate (2 y) records and even then could not keep the lies straight.
"During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills."
"In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096."
Huh?
The only two Obama sponsored bills in the Senate to have passed had 22 and 19 co-sponsors. No, he did not write them, he read them off a teleprompter.
His only accomplishment, a stump speech against the war in Iraq in 2002, less than a year after Sepetember 11, shows poor judgment not wisdom. He did not even see any evidence nor did he know that Bush was falsifying them -- yet "talked" against taking any action.
Bushama is too dangerous for our country.
Other than naked ambition to be king of the Americans, Obama has not shown any substance.

And the dying first responders are being denied health care and benefits BECAUSE.... Come on Hilliary... Give them an answer!!! The "recovery funds" sure didn't go to those who are sick from ground zero. If that was the case, we wouldn't be holding fund raisers for them every month! Hilliary raised a couple million last month, think she can help out her constituents who have been stonewalled on their health care and their disability benefits? Their families would like to KNOW!!! Come on Hilliary can you help out your fellow New Yorkers??? (I won't hold my breath!) Giuliani lost his campaign over mistreating these men. I think Hilliary deserves to give them an explanation TOO!!! He should have been held accountable, just as she deserves to be. Nobody gets a free pass, when they have to responsibility to represent the interests of ALL of their constituents. You can't pick and choose who gets what when your the President. You have to take care of all of them.

Obamacan: All presidents have speech writers but Obama doesn't have a speech writer he just takes a copy of Patrick's speeches and walks back across the stage and no one knew the differende until he got caught. The governor didn't write speeches for the president's they had their own. Maybe he wants Patrick for his VP.

James: What comic book have you been reading. The only accomplishment Obama did was getting elected Senator only because he played dirty pool against the woman campaigning for senator. He is dirty and underhanded. He has been friends with Rezko the crook for years, was his attorney and was paid thousands of dollars by him. Is that a good accomplishment? Now that Rezko is in jail after giving Obama that money Obama doesn't even go to see him. Why not. They were friends for years. I wouldn't trust Obama on a bet. He is as phony as a three dollar bill. I would love to see him debate John McCain. If Obama wins the nomination John McCain will sweep him under the rug with the rest of the dirt.

I am glad the Obam supporters are going to other websites to copy and paste so they can declare that they know what Obama has acomplished. At least it is a break from they way they point to his website when trying to explain where he stands on the issues.

How is Obama going to effect change? How is he going to end the war? How is going to fix the economy? If he is not going to follow the politics of old, what kind is he proposing? Why will Congress listen? What if his proposal does not get passed, then what? If he is not going to follow the politics of old, is he going to appoint fresh faced politicians in his cabinet? As Commander in Chief, what if 1 year from now, his military advisers say you must stay in Iraq or risk a potential conflict which would trigger a regional war, does he still pull out? How does differ with what he said? Would people then not like him?

All that Obama's supporters care about, are change and new. They could give a d*mn about qualifications. They try to tout his mediocre Illinois State Senate record, a record that many State Senators across the U.S. have far surpassed, and his short time in the U.S. senate, as qualifications. His time spent as a community organizer, is run of the mill stuff, as far as it goes.

"Present!"

Let's borrow a page from Sen. Obama's book and say "forget the past records, what are we going to do in the future?" That said, to bring the discussion down to an even more practical, political, leadership level, what are the Obamas plans for revitalizing our severely damaged military, with so many soldiers returning home with lost limbs and brain injuries, they won't be "patched up" to return to their voluntary places in defense of the nation. Are we in for a draft? Will the National Guards continue to be used for combat roles? And what did you promise the Teamsters to get their endorsement? Will somebody, some newspaper, some t.v. pundit, somebody who is involved and informed, please get the Obamas to be specific about how their dreams for us will turn into reality? Let's not wait until the convention is over for that challenge.

Democrats are in for another disappointment in November because McCain will win no matter who the democratic nominee is. Clinton will loose because for some reasons, valid or invalid, a lot of people even some democrats strongly dislike her and will not vote for her. If Obama is the nominee his race and inexperience will be against him. People would like to believe that we have gotten over racism, and for most part we have, but still there are a significant number of people, even some democrats, who will consider race and not vote for Obama. Even if only 5% of democrats fall into this category and vote for McCain because of race he will the election in November.

Obama speaks and you are drawn to the words.I'm old enough to remember Jimmy Carter speak,he did the same thing to a crowd and we elected a man with a good heart and great dreams,however,words are just words,dreams are,well dreams.Carter found himself completely unprepared for the real world of the international arena.I blame him for the start of our power decline in the mideast.His lack of action in Iran made us look weak and we never recovered.Obama is a dreamer and we dont need another dreamer.

shaun & christy: try going to the Library of Congress website to gather actual facts of legislation by these Senators. The records posted by Eresha K. is 100% correct, but she, or he, only touched on a very few pieces of Barack Obama's legislation. The posting by "just the facts" as to numbers of legislative acts is also near correct, of course Clinton has been a U.S. Senator for one full term (6)six years, to Barack Obama's (3) three, so naturally she has been able to get more legislation passed into law, the (20) posted by Eresha K. attributed to Clinton is a correct record of accomplishments for her entire first (6) six year period. You will note there's not anything in that record of much substantive value to the American people. While Clinton was naming post offices and congratulating Lacrosse teams, Senator Obama was writing legislation with teeth. Again Eresha K. posted only a few. Here are a few more of Barack's proposed legislation, some in committee, some passed Congress and Senate and are awaiting further action. S-2984 Future Investment to Lessen Long Term Use of Petroleum Act, S-2045 Healthcare for Hybrids Act, S-2433 Global Poverty Act of 2007, S-1 amendment to his Legislative Transparency & Accountability Act, S-453 Deceptive Practices & Voter Intimidation Act of 2007, S-4069 Prohibit Deceptive Practices in Federal Elections (this one, strangely enough, was co-sponsored by Hillary Clinton), S-133 American Fuels Act, S-3554 Alternative Diesel Standard Act of 2006, S-1271 The Homecoming Enhancement Research & Oversight Act (for U.S. Veterans), S-713 Dignity for Wounded Warriors Act (another veterans bill). Obama along with Mo. Senator McCaskill have proposed more legislation benefiting our veterans than any other senators in the past two decades. These are only a few, the list is endless and don't include naming many post offices. Who do you want? Someone working for the American People with meaningful legislation or some one writing earmarks and congratulating Lacrosse teams.

Well there are some positives about Mrs. Obama's comments about her feelings toward America. If she becomes first lady, she will be very well received by some foreign dignitries like Osam Bin Laden, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro etc.

Barack is actually young and inexperienced. He doesn't have any executive experience, has a relatively short political career, has zero foreign policy and military experience (dangerous in these uncertain times, and something that McCain will surely hammer him on).
U.S.EMBASSY UNDER ATTACK---OBAMA WOULDN'T HAVE THE SLIGHEST IDEA WHAT TO DO!!!

!!

Barack Obama and his fellow state senators considered more than 175 pieces of legislation on a frenetic day in March. Of those measures, Obama voted "present" obama did not show up to vote in the senate often in his short time there, missed 130 votes! will not answer any reporter on how we would voted at the time. But his record after fact shows he supports the war, voted twice in 2006 against bringing America's troops back home. He votes for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater. His latest bit of posturing S 433 allows the Bush Administration to suspend any troop withdrawal!!!!Which if not suspended, still keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come? Obama when faced with tough choices always gave in to pressure from the Bush administration or corporate lobbyists. Such as Obama voted for Bush's energy bill, sending more than $13 billion in subsidies and tax breaks to oil, coal, and nuclear companies. Obama voted with Republicans to allow credit card companies to raise interest rates over 30 percent, INCREASING STUDENT LOANS RATES AND FEES increasing hardship for families. Obama voted for one of Bush's top priorities - expanding Nafta to South America - even as President Bush obstructed all the top Democratic priorities. Obama voted with Bush to make it harder for ordinary people to hold big corporations accountable when they do things like sell toxic toys, poisonous pet food, or just plain rip you off. Obama was the Senate's biggest Democratic advocate of subsidies for liquid coal, even though liquid coal produces twice the global warming pollution of the crude oil it's meant to replace (Obama "backed off" this position after being pummeled by environmentalists for several months, but still voted for increased subsidies, albeit with conditions)Obama, a Hamiltonian believer in free trade and supporters of globalization has lent his support to the "Hamilton Project formed by corporate-neoliberal Citigroup chair Robert Rubin and other 'Wall Street Democrats' to counter populist rebellion against corporate tendencies within the Democratic Party. Obama provided assistance to pro-war candidates (such as Joe Lieberman). Obama voted for "business-friendly 'tort reform' bill that rolls back working peoples' ability to obtain reasonable redress and compensation...from corporations!!! Obama considers single payer universal health care too socialist and has stated that he prefers voluntary solutions. He has no substance. He has provided no solution to any problem until Hillary, Edwards or even Mitt Romey publically expresses theirs, then he copies, He’s been constantly negative with everyone.
Friends Say Drugs Played Only Bit Part for Obama, now his drug buddles are coming out for him. Obama admitted to smoking pot and going coke in dorm rooms, talked about “getting high.and drinking alcohol and using cocaine as a high school student. So he admits to doing drugs all through school. That’s a role model—not!!! This is why the young supports Obama!!

"Well done is better than well said." -- Benjamin Franklin

Hillary Rodham Clinton is such an inspiration. Many professional women and their daughters in our community are thrilled for this commendable candidate who has the interests of the American people at heart and has since her young adulthood. Obama is a promising young man but not quite ready for primetime. Perhaps next election.
