If you don't know what "Obama is about," then you haven't looked. He's
written a couple of books, lots of speeches, lots of position papers, and
he's been in the center of the public's eye for years.

In this election cycle, McCain is the mystery. He changes his positions on
a daily basis, and can't articulate them at that. His judgment is
terrible. His ethics are questionable. He's been running an entirely
negative campaign.

The name is Barack Hussein Obama, not "Bema." The man was named after his
father. What's in a name, anyway?

Barack is not a convert to Christianity. And even it he were, what
difference does it make? Who cares? He's a *real* American, from humble
beginnings, who has risen to the top because of his intelligence and hard
word.

Oh yes he is. You should read some more. While I admit I haven't read
Barack's books, it isn't what I would usually read. His childhood was
anything but typical American. Inteligent, perhaps.


His childhood? Oh...he was born in Hawaii and lived in a few foreign
countries. Well, in my mind those sorts of experiences helps one avoid
being provincial.





If by "never served his country," you mean he wasn't in the military, so
what. Two of this country's greatest presidents, Lincoln and FDR, were
never in the military, either, though Lincoln spent a short time in his
state militia, killing native Americans or some such nonsense.

We've been suffering through eight years of the worst president in our
history. Barack *Hussein* Obama, if elected, can only be better.

State militia counts for Lincoln. As for FDR, he was spoon fed (rich) shoe
in. And most native Americans died of diseases in that era of Lincoln.
Again read more, you will not find such facts in Holywood.


Really? Do you know how long Lincoln was in the state militia and what
he did there? It wasn't much.



Every 2nd term end of term president gets the dirty water going out of
office. Bush isn't running, you look at both candidates fresh. Every
blames Bush but as I recall it was democrat congress that said go get Osama
and printed the Fed money like water causing the economics of today. And
democrat congress also controls the banking, or supposed to anyway. And
when democrats said low interest rates so everyone could afford a home did.
Did they think of the financial implications of the truly monumental f'up of
the century when those who could not afford it didn't pay their loans? If
we blame the economy, democrats have this in their laps via congress.

Barrack is a relatively newcomer to DC. You say McCain is a mystery, hell,
he has been in a federal office since 1982! You can lookup his political
views for over 25 years, Barrack, a junior senator, is green as it gets and
completely untested at the federal level. McCain is very much a known
quantity.


Your opinions on Bush, recent US history and Obama are right off of
reich-wing radio.
