Truly an “In Your Face”
Senator Obama very fittingly chose St. Paul, Minnesota (Republican Convention – September), for next Tuesday night’s rally when the Senator will hopefully be over the top in the required number of delegates to capture the Democratic nomination for the Presidency:
"It's the place where John McCain will accept the nomination. It's a good place for us to kick off the next phase of the campaign," Robert Gibbs, Obama's communications director, said in an interview. Minnesota was a swing state that eventually went for Democrat John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.
It’s gratifying to support a candidate with this much confidence and determination.

Let me tell you why’s your freedom will not be the same. Even since Democrat running the house, everything is going down hill, and what’s Obama doing anything about it? –nothing, but only complaining and pointing the fingers to someone else, mean while Nancy Pelosi is one of the riches woman in the country –go figure, and what exactly do we get form Democrat, that running the house right now? Nothing but paying more and more tax increase for themselves. Obama can surely talks, but I don’t think he has the action! He said he want to talk to the enemies of USA, what do you think the enemies would want to talk to him? If they do, they will ask the USA and allies to get out of their land and stay out of their affairs (I doubt it will happen), and this morning he said he wants to talk to Israel and Palestinian to work together side by side (peace of course), and he also wants to talk to Iran too? What do you think Iran will say? –Stop support Israel, and let me finish me nuclear program. In the mean time terrorist start building up the cells in the USA, and if they don’t get what they want –they will attack, this time is going to be worst than 9.11, because they already learned that lesson, it only take one terrorist to make you fear the worst to come. That’s your Freedom right there (FEAR). –This is just one example –oh, there are more...American still has to long way to learn how to talk to the enemies
With how this line is going, I just have one question: If we are opening dialogue with nations and people who currently hate us as a nation, why would there be more terrorist activity? I believe that the terrorism that plagues us today is from generations of doing what America wants without thinking twice of who we offend. I believe in Obama because I think he will talk to and appoint people who will talk to these rogue leaders and try to protect America because people will not hate us quite so much.
Right now, they are just starting to set the tone of their campaign. This early, i really can't tell which i would side with, but i am leaning towards obama. Furthermore, the GOP base is not even warming up to mccain (of course, i could be wrong) and even though it's still early in the game, this just proves to show how we see our candidates to-date. i know i will get burned for this, but i think mccain is a warmonger. i get the impression that he doesn't care to what happens to our troops in the middle east and the other parts of the world. Can’t we just all get along? i think it is time for a purification; i think it is time for a change; i think it is time for obama time. Now that the candidates are set for the US Presidential Election, Barack Obama and John McCain are beginning to set the tone for their campaign. Looking at their most recent speeches in http://pollclash.com , what do you think about what you hear?
Tsooozavel, I think a lot of moderates are coming to the same conclusions you are. McCain has shown that the only real foreign policy idea he has in his head is starting/continuing wars. Perhaps an even greater sin is his lack of support for the Veteran's Bill of Rights, he offerred no good reason to not support that bill and has turned his back on his fellow veterans. I find it disgraceful and was the last straw for me in a long line of events that have caused me to lose all respect for Senator McCain as a politician.
No, he didn't. After Bush's national security adviser publicly admitted that Bush was blackmailing Congress -- sending troops to Iraq without funding, and daring Congress not to write the check -- Obama voted to write the check. He supported the troops. Polls had nothing to do with it.
Sigh. More GOP lies and smears.
I believe Senator Obama’s record on the issue of Iraq speaks for itself:
As a candidate for the United States Senate in 2002, Obama put his political career on the line to oppose going to war in Iraq, and warned of “an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs, and undetermined consequences.” Obama has been a consistent, principled and vocal opponent of the war in Iraq.
In 2003 and 2004, he spoke out against the war on the campaign trail In 2005, he called for a phased withdrawal of our troops;
In 2006, he called for a timetable to remove our troops, a political solution within Iraq, and aggressive diplomacy with all of Iraq’s neighbors;
In January 2007, he introduced legislation in the Senate to remove all of our combat troops from Iraq by March 2008.
In September 2007, he laid out a detailed plan for how he will end the war as president.
