UnknownObama wull send this country in a worse state than it is already!!! Besides, he isn't even allowed to run for president! When his mom moved to Indonesia with her new hubby, that country was in war. The only way you could go to school was if you were a citizen. So Obama gave up his citizenship and when he came back to the US, he had to go through customs. That means he was a naturalized citreport abuseposted November 1, 2008 7:36 AM PDT

SICOFITBill Ayers, Louis Farakhan,Tony Rezko,Rev Wright the chicago mob, tv executives, hollywood actors, Are we supposed to trust the influence these insiders have on the least experienced candidate ever? Bush may not of made the best decisions, but we are safer. Under Clinton we were attacked 9 times and he allowed Osama to bring down the towers by not arresting him when he had 2 chances to.

Apache1This country is destroying itself with hatred. You set in judgement on things you don't know about. Republicans are not for the middle class nor poor. And as a Native American I know first hand what their policies are toward minorities. And I happen to be very well educated thank you despite you conservatives who think people of color have no rights.report abuseposted October 13, 2008 11:00 AM PDT
