Great, family is the most important asset in anybody's life. We have seen you and Michelle together day and night trying to move us with you and lead us, you have been successful and continue that way because America and the world are waiting for your leadership. God bless America and God bless the family Obama. Great American family.

3 words......."IN TOO DEEP"

Isn't it strange that after all this time not one person can put Obama in a pew at the time of Wright's worst diatribes. All his enemies "know" he was there with his children but not a single person can prove it.

Seems to me they're writing checks they can't cash. If you have the proof, bring it. Otherwise it's just the same old dirty politics.

Um, WRight baptized Obama's daughters...you think they weren't a regular fixture in the guys church?

The same ol' dirty politics is Obama giving a race speech repeating things we all, already know, without giving suggestions on how to fix them.

The same ol' dirty politics is Obama giving a race speech and saying he still stands by Wright, then Wright goes on tv and says the same crap he says in his video, and then suddenly Obama is "outraged"? What changed?

you're a naive guy.

Good luck with that...Obama=Bush2.0

again for all those using the "20 years of hate" argument. wright preached over 2000 sermons. less than 5 have been found that are "hate". and for none of the 5 was obama present. it is ridiculous to think that obama's entire character should be judged by .02% of what someone else said. i wonder how all of us would be judged on .02% of the things we've said over our lifetime. peace be unto you!

Beautiful american first family. I pray that it is the Will of God that the Obama family be this country's first family. Given the chance I think he will be a great president in spite of his race,and I agree with John Kerry maybe because of it.

Obama 08!
Yes We Can!

While Michelle and Barack talked a lot of their family roots (and mostly I feel they are seeking sympathy), they are enjoying a life most of Americans can not afford.
Michelle worries about how to spend $14,000 a year for their kids to go to various kinds of classes, and their two kids go to private schools, and Barack? who wouldn't pick up a sock on the floor or put away butter from table (see Michelle's quotes in recent Newsweek).

Obama is a fine man and will be a fine president. He is being attacked about his attendance at church and that is pathetic. You go to church to worship and have fellowship with others. Judging what Obama experienced there is definitely being republicanized to the same degree that John Kerry was smeared. Obama is not Wright and Obama is not going to be any more influenced by his church attendance than anyone else. Obama became a christian and so did his entire family. That is so wonderful and is being made ugly. Shame on you who will roll over for the republican back stabbing of a good candidate again and again. Think about what you are doing to the country. We need Obama who is smart and well liked by those he works with in the Senate. Hillary is not so well liked. Who do you think will get more done. It will be Obama who has negotiated with differing sides and made compromises that satisfied everyone. That is what we need so desperately after Bush and Cheney's abuse of our government.

Well said, Vicki! And those Republicans who have distanced themselves from Bush's politics see a real opportunity for positive change w/ Obama. For example, Ron Paul prefers Obama's foreign policy over McCain's.

WOw 300 people including families, not exactly a huge crowd for Mr Obama in Indiana. His staff and out of state volunteers probably made up most of the crowd. Not a great sign for Tuesday.

All you Obama people are just mad because you thought this "puff" piece about the Obama family would work - kind of fill in the pieces so to speak about a guy we know too little about!

I definitely understand your frustration - you know how I know you're frustrated? All the gutter words and attacks.

Emily, you Go Girl!!!!!

Another word about family Obama.

Obama/Axelrod made a serious miscalculation about introducing the girls.

Every voter now gets to wonder anew "How on earth did he expose those two beautiful girls to the rants of that anti-american, racist minister. Some people might even equate this with child neglect or abuse.

If Obama is smart, he'll get them back to Chicago as quickly as possible.

gammara...... Any churchgoer knows that even if you don't appear regularly, people talk about the minister/priest and his homilies. A church community is not so large that people don't share with one another note worthy remarks.

I don't go to church regularly but I know that our priest is an operator, highly political and I know in detail his views on a host of social issues.

If my priest said 1/10 of what Wright is on record as saying, I would have found a new parish.

Face it, Obama is a hustler.

Obama is shameless to have his kids nearby while he campaigns!?!? Doesn't Hillary have Chelsea campaigning for her? Know what my kids were doing after yesterday's Obama rally? Campaining for him! I must be shameless too. Again, Obama is being held to a higher standard.

Talk about pandering a family pinic yeah sure

“Use the kids…” I am sure some campaign consultant must have suggested. Sounds like Obama campaign has run out of ideas for video footage for TV news. Most things about Sen. Obama is completely manufactured for the sake of consumption and for the sake of manipulation! Sen. Obama campaign is running on empty, clueless; they've lost primary after another, specially having not won any of the major battleground states; they have no idea what to do. There’s a good chance that Sen. Hillary Clinton might pull of a surprise win in North Carolina as well; thanks to Bill Clinton’s tireless efforts in rural areas. It is well known Bill Clinton has very persuasive argument why Hillary Clinton should be the next President. He has been consistantly drawn crowds in neglected areas in rural America. Besides, Sen. Obama's performance has been rather lackluster on the stump. He’s often tired, constantly repeating himself, more so for an average candidate. Lately, Sen. Obama looked so frazzled, confused, irritated, upset and even depressed. Isn’t it obvious that Sen. Obama is having a hard time. He doesn’t seem to have the stamina that Sen. Hillary Clinton does. He doesn't know what adversity means. How can he be a good leader? Could be even worse than George Bush if elected? I hope he’s not going to take up smoking again! He used to be a heavy smoker for years; As a father Sen. Obama should set a better example for his two young children.

The ONLY American politician who can impact gas prices RIGHT NOW is BUSH; and he will not; because Bush DOES CANNOT CARE about the plight of ordinary Americans!

No candidate for Presidency can impact gas tax now!
So McCain & Hilary are again just PANDERING TO THE LOWEST IN AMERICANS!

Hilary & McCain are just playing politics as usual'!

1. Bush can tap into the OIL RESERVE; since we do have an emergency.

2. And Bush can appeal to his oil buddies to ROLL BACK GAS PRICES as a PATRIOTIC DUTY!

The Special Interest Congress WILL NEVER pass a windfall tax.
And the BUSH WILL NEVER SIGN a windfall tax on oil executives!

Now is the time for the PRUDENT Presidential candidate to AGAIN remind Americans to CONSERVE, and of the NEED FOR AN EFFECTIVE ENERGY POLICY!

SUPPLY OF OIL IS LOW!
So prices WILL go up even more if we do not conserve!

If people who served in Bill Clinton's administration are now siding with Obama, what does that say about Hillary?
Well, I guess she's banking on the fact that a lot of her supporters are not known to be critical thinkers.

The all American family, not! The sad part is what does all that anti-American, racist crap obama forced his children to listen to from wright doing to their thinking. The more I learn of this guy the more I have to question who in the world sent him to Washington to represent the people. As a proud American I admit we need change badly, just not his kind of change or thinking.

wlw......Yeah right!!!!

Try to close everything down while Obama is in free fall?

I don't think so.

All of what is being written about character and record doesn't matter. Obama has the pledged delegate lead. The Democrats will not dare overturn that. They know Blacks and young people will leave the party.

Hillary Clinton will not will not be the nominee.

Period.
