Hello!

I am just tired of politicians not giving it to us straight. And if any American can not except the fact that we haven't been angels in our responsibility to be true patriots..then we need to face it. I agree, that we do have a culture of using or clinging to certain things and beliefs in or time of trouble...those beliefs and thing can be of great help, but it can also make us into hypocrites of a nation that is supposed to represent justice, equality, and maybe even peace. Some of the things that Barak have said, i am not judging him yet, may have hurt some but it is the truth. I come from a small town, and yes, when there is especially an economic downtown and a severe blow to a small town, the frusteration and bitterness is there...and it is there strong. That is just the way it is. In small towns, as in many inner city communities, the opportunities are very very limited...and the frusteration can come out in bitterness. What Hillary Clinton and McCain have done (especially Hillary and members of the media) in their response to Obama's statements is to talk to us and pacify us like we are children. It is as if we can not take the truth, although it hurts. Americans are supposed to be a resilient people, and strong people. We are not suppose to be a nation of whiners and shallow bunch. Some of the things that people criticize Obama about is absolutely so laughable..(not wearing the little patriotic pin) that it is making us look like a bunch of shallow clowns. You want to know patriotism? Any idiot can wear a pin..but who can tell us the truth about us? I am not saying that Obama is an angel....but we have to stop acting like we can't take a hit. Patriotism and love for our country has to come with the hard truth of who we are in mirror...and how we can fix our flaws..because America is deeply flawed..and our country is such that we can not afford many flaws like other countries..because we have a very loud tradition of freedom and equality. We have to watch ourselves and our behavior.

right on gardener.British police are soon going to be officially micro-chipped,just like my dog and cat! Their bosses will be able to see where they are taking a leak,and in whose back-yard! LOL!
The problem is,I can't imagine British bobbies accepting a micro-chip that stays with them OUT OF UNIFORM OR OUT OF BUSINESS HOURS!
Take your uniform off,hang it in the closet and pop your micro-chip on the shelf BEFORE LEAVING work.Because whatever they do OUTSIDE/off the job is their business and a 24 hr 'chip' would be an assault on privacy and civil liberties!
Or are they just going to insert it behind the ear,or in the belly-button????
You've heard the phrase,"Don't taze me bro!"
It will soon be," Don't chip me bro!"
Or, "if you want me to wear this 24 hrs,you gotta pay me MORE OVERTIME!" LOL!

If they don't do away with these stupid creatures called "super-delegates",maybe they should MICRO-CHIP THEM,and find out whose offices they are visiting,and for what favours??(nudge,nudge,wink,wink).

This muck slinging is getting quite entertaining! Time is winding down on all this non-sense. Some kind of choice we have to vote for--or is it the delegates or super-delegates who actually decide for us. I know they ain't counting my vote being one of those federal ignor-ee individuals.

Things are so out of whack, none of them are going to be able to pull this so-called country out of it's. Where is that One World Leader hanging out anyway?
And how long is it going to take for "them" to perfect that precious little Chip before its ready to by enforced upon this whole pathetic human race??

I heard/read somewhere that by/in 2011 England is going to be enforcing everyone to be injected with that micro chip that some refer to as "the mark of the Beast". I think its going to be interesting to see what happens when 2012 comes to an end... and to watch to see how whom ever is president responses...

DOes anyone else get the idea that if Obama is FOR REAL and he does become the next president, he's goin to be assasinated just like the others befor him that gave the same speech about the government for the people. Besides, the Corporate "owners' are going to get their way anyway they can.

Oh Obama! Don't you worry Boss,Pennsylvanians KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? You didn't OFFEND ANYONE!
Hilary TinClone and McMaim must be feeling REALLLLLYYYYY desperate now if they can accuse Barack of "ELITISM" and "Condescension"??????? lol!lol!
Especially when the man merely has the balls to SPEAK THE TRUTH,about how people filter and deal with their frustrations,and how it DOES PRESENT ITSELF in different social situations,and LORD KNOWS,Americans have PLENTY TO BE frustrated about!
Everything that Obama said,about how we deal with our miseries IS TRUE!
It's just that not many politicians actually HAVE THE GONADS to speak plain ole' facts.
In fact,most present AND previous candidates ARE SO CONDESCENDING that they SKIRT AROUND THE TRUTHS as if we can't hack it,or they might 'UPSET THE VOTERS'Boo Hoo!
And "elitism" LOL!
That's funny, coming from Hilarity 'on the board of Wal-Mart' TinClone!!!
But then SHE ALREADY KNOWS A WHOLE LOT ABOUT ELITISM! LOL!LOL!
And Maverick Jack,is one of the MOST short tempered,CONDESCENDING platforming prigs I have ever seen perform! Jeez! He wouldn't even pass for 'American idol' for pities sake! LOL!
At least Obama has the COURAGE,AND YES,the "AUDACITY" to confront us,the people, with the cold hard facts! Everything he said about filtering frustrations through faith,guns,violence etc IS TRUE! The voters KNOW THIS ALREADY! lol!
Don't pander to me Obama,give it to me straight!
Don't imagine that I can't see the truth from CONDESCENDING spin!
Don't tell me what YOU think will keep me cozy,in ignorant lah-lah land.
Tell me the truth,even if it's uncomfortable,then we can all work together to change for the better! We've ALL seen where LIES AND DECEIT lead---RIGHT???
I listened to Baracks speech and he was straight down the human line,not the disney 'yellow-brick road'! Especially,when I don't see many ordinary Americans wearing shiny,glittering red shoes right now!
In fact,as a listener and a patriotic voter I can't SEE one thing that Obama said that HE NEEDS TO APOLOGISE FOR because it's all plain old fact!
Everything that the Bush,Clintons,McCains etc DON'T WANT US TO THINK OF!
'Once upon a time..in a land far,far away....'
He is REALISTIC,ACTUAL,COMMON-SENSICAL and DEFINATELY IN-TOUCH with modern day and it's such a REFRESHING change to not see ones reflection in a VACANT candidates ROSE-COLOURED GLASSES!
But then,dynastic dinosaurs like TinClone and McMaim haven't got the respect for the strength,intellect and hard-graft experience of hard-working people and believe that we need to be MOLLYCODDLED,and kept in diapers, "there there don't you worry your perty lil' citizen heads about a thing. We'll take care of everything FOR YOU!" (Wink,Wink,nudge,nudge!)
Right! As if!
We know where that cr** leads. The same place it's been leading America for the last 3 decades! Down,Down,Down!
I am proud of Obama for NOT talking down to me.
Instead,he treats us all as though we CAN 'handle' the truth,as ADULTS,as millions of us ORDINARY citizens DO every day ALREADY!

Jeez! TinClone and Mack the knife MUST be desperate if they have to crawl to such lows!!! Makes me wonder what 'DEALS' the dinosaurs have 'made' already????? HUM!

We don't need your APOLOGIES President Obama,just keep giving us the hard,'in your face' facts. You'll be AMAZED at how MUCH we CAN take,if we have the HOPE that the CR** can,AND WILL,BE cleared,from the yard!
We know what you mean Barack!
So,don't let the real elitists and condescending prigs douse your REFRESHING and SPUNKY fire!
Yes we CAN,and yes WE WILL,and it's GOT TO BE ON A ROAD TO TRUTH!!

Oh yes, We can! And we darn well WILL and WANT to change!
Obama just keeps those great orations coming!
To see Montana passionately stirred by Obama,is a great treat,because Montanans are NOT EASILY sold!
But he WOOED 'em good! With sincerity,rationale,common-sense and charisma!

It's great to see AND FEEL THE Obama-itis spreading.It's the first HEALTHY virus I have seen in the USA for YONKS! And I am happy to have a DOSE OF IT LOL!
I have believed,and have hoped,for a lONG time that the White House(and Congress)should be the freshly 'spring-cleaned' beacon of political light that shows REAL Democratic politics by,for and OF THE PEOPLE---AS IT SHOULD BE!
So,to hear Barack Obama come out with magic snippets of ORATORY TREASURE,such as:
"We need to change how politics is done.
We can tell lobbyists in Washington their days are over.
They have not funded my campaign--you have.
They have no keys to the White House,"
man, that just fills my heart and MIND WITH HOPE,because it's ABOUT TIME that these'domains'WERE put back in the hands of the commons,the people,the ordinary grassroots who live,bleed,suffer AND DIE for this great land!!!!
All the CEO'S and "lobbyists" do,is don their silk suits,find more excuses for their children to shun active duty,and sit back and rake(or rape) in the profits from an illegal occupation of Iraq at the cost of OUR kids blood and future and THOUSANDS of others overseas who should be,and ARE our friends(unless Bush has kicked ALL THAT in touch now).
My instincts tell me,STILL,that this 'young' man Obama(comparably,in the face of the other DEMENTED DINOSAURS) will MEAN IT,and PROVE IT,when he takes his OATH OF OFFICE,to PROTECT and DEFEND the United States of America,instead of Bush's perjurous and CRIMINAL preference to 'NEGLECT and OFFEND' the American people!
It was great to see MONTANA voters STIRRED and 'PUMPED',with enthusiasm of Obama-mania and POSITIVE HOPE regardless of age and gender!
Rock on Barack Obama,my vote is yours and you're my man!

And in the words of Khalid Husseini,author of 'The Kite Runner'and 'A Thousand Splendid Suns',

for you Barack Obama...

"A thousand times over"!

Want me to teach you how to fly-fish TOO ??? LOL!

I don't know gardener,there is DEFINATELY a different feeling about this election.
Americans(not to mention the rest of the world)have had it up to their necks with the war-mongering occupations of Iraq/Afghanistan,ALL BASED ON manipulated politics and lies resulting in thousands of deaths of innocents and loved ones,destruction of foreign property and rising POVERTY AND JOB LOSSES HERE in the homeland where everything is supposed to be so hunky-dory,fair and "transparent".
They have just had eight years of blatant lies,corruption and MASSIVE CORPORATE greed and profit that feathers the mattresses of the top 20% of America AT THE EXPENSE OF the lives and health of the other 80% of what's REALLY AMERICA,the voters,the people,the elderly and the children.
I think voter turn out is EXTRAORDINARY this time,especially amongst the younger voters who seem to be waking up to who's hands THEIR COUNTRY IS REALLY IN,and for what purposes and whose benefits.AND, I get the impression that the voters are REALLY on their toes,after the LAST TWO ELECTIONS,about rigged machines,voter fraud and MAKING EVERY PRECIOUS VOTE COUNT AND BE COUNTED,instead of being denied or swept under a convenient rug. They will be guarding their votes and watching the system VERY CAREFULLY this time after having the last two(at least)National elections taken AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE!
Right now,by looking at the ordinary people of America,you can see the faces in Obamas crowds,ARE LIT UP,they show faith,national pride and hope in him,and man are they having FUN TOO! It's so good to see an optimism and positive attitude in his crowds at the rallies.
You can'feel the need',and energy,in the people(ALL people),that are turning out for Obama. THEY NEED CHANGE for the better and fairer.
I reckon if anything happens to Obama or there is even A WHIFF of election/voter count fraud,this time around,the American people will explode and take over the White House LOL! Because you can see they've had enough of injustice,inhumanity and insults to the Constitution! AND,I think Obama is antsy enough and lawyer enough to seek a recount and stand up for his voters,if he smells a rat!
Gore and Kerry should have demanded more.They give in too politely and should have stood up for their voters!
And gardener,Obama doesn't look "pissed off",he just looks tired and who can blame him? It's a wonder he has any vocal chords left too.These campaigns must be really exhausting.But I think his batteries are getting constantly re-charged by the energy and enthusiasm of the voters!
YES WE CAN!
Time for some tea!

yeah, I hope that 'they' arn't "setting" him up for the kill. Look what 'they' did to Gore and Kerry. Obama's ok, but I wish he would wipe that "pissed off" look from his face.

KUDOS to Barack Obama,I like the way he puts meeting the ordinary grass-roots voters face to face ABOVE having prime-time corporate TV debates with ole Hilarity.
The dynasty queen KEEPS trying to get him to commit to sit down TV debates where 'spin'is king(and she's plays a good game on camera of 'spin and evade').
I admire Obama for putting the priority of meeting the American voters,IN PERSON,ahead of the sitting,at a distance,in front of orchestrated CNN debates.
It's great,too,to see his crowds virtually reflecting the WHOLE SCOPE OF AMERICAN multi-culture. Personally,I think he has all the right ingredients for the best home-made AMERICAN PIE!
He still stirs my soul,seems strong,patient and very approachable and offers rational hope for a bright future for America after decades of VERY dubious political activity.If the super-delegates REALLY care about the needs and wishes of the American people(who pay their salaries),they only have to look at Obamas rallies and they will SEE and FEEL something VERY special happening,and THAT is long OVERDUE!
Rock on Obama!
