		<description>Obama campaign slogans: 

CHANGE ... what you&#039;ll have left after I raise taxes. 
CHANGE ... your gas prices upwards, but gradually
CHANGE ... my hat size because every day my head gets bigger
CHANGE ... what I do to my story depending upon whom I&#039;m talking to. 
CHANGE ... what I do every day to my foreign policy 
CHANGE ... your lifestyle because the rest of the world doesn&#039;t like you 
CHANGE ... my friends when they turn out NOT to be &quot;The person I knew&quot;
CHANGE ... what my radical left-wing ideologue handlers have in store for you 
CHANGE ... what I do to facts to suit my needs. 
CHANGE ... more of you into victims of something and build government programs to take care of you
CHANGE ... you into a ward of the state so that I OWN you and your vote
CHANGE ... your mind and believe in me for I am the Obamessiah come to save you
CHANGE ... into sycophants; what the liberal mainstream media do under the spell of the Obamessiah 
CHANGE ... the chant I use to control the weak-minded Obamanized masses 
CHANGE ... into an Obamatron; join the cult, repeat the chant: CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE ...
CHANGE ... what I plan to do to America because it&#039;s the greatest country on the planet.
CHANGE ... the national anthems of all the nations of the world to Kumbaya using my messianic skills
CHANGE ... your underwear because you&#039;ll defecate in your pants when you wake up to find out what the left-wing liberal ideologues have done after gaining complete control of government.

CHANGE ... you better freaking BELIEVE in because it will WORK you over.
Obama: the AUDACITY to count on you and I being DOPEs</description>

		<description>Well, you ain&#039;t seen debt like the debt Obama will put us into if he&#039;s elected.

His Global Poverty Act? Billions will be given out of our treasury - annually and without end - to an international body that will, I&#039;m sure, be certain they get to those in need. Not to mention our very sovereignty might be at issue. Thankfully, this was killed in committee.

His pulling our troops out of Iraq prematurely will only require far greater costs to us soon after. Not just monetary - but the lives of soldiers and civilians as well.

I believe I heard the number of almost a trillion dollars associated with the ideas/promises he&#039;s made on the campaign trail alone. 

This man has accomplished nothing more than make frighteningly poor judgments regarding friends and associates. This panel of advisors is but one example. These are bad enough, but we know of far worse.

I just heard something that reiterated what I&#039;d read early last year - Obama took a trip to Libya with Farrakhan. And it must have been on another thread that I linked to Gateway Pundit where someone said Qaddafi had given a billion dollars to Farrakhan for &quot;votes,&quot; etc. I&#039;d like to know if these things are true.

Obama is a man completely unqualified to be President. But, incredibly, he thinks he is. Check out how he&#039;s jumped from one political office to the next higher - almost as soon as he assumes one, he&#039;s off to the next. His accomplishments are nil.

He cozied up to Ill. state senate leader Emil Jones and got him to put his name on bills that others had been working years on - making more than a few enemies along the way. The man is not shy when it comes to his ambition. He walked into Jones&#039; office and told him he could make himself a U.S. Senator. Jones asked, &quot;Who you got in mind?&quot; &quot;Me,&quot; was Obama&#039;s reply.

I just read on a black man&#039;s blog that he&#039;d run into O. at a restaurant, and was told by him that he was going to go after the U.S. Senate seat after failing in his attempt at the U.S. Rep. seat. It floored the man. But he mentioned remembering Obama many years earlier had told him he wanted to run for Mayor. His point was that, at the time of the writing, it didn&#039;t surprise him Obama would have the nerve to run for President so soon. 

What he didn&#039;t say was that he is breathtakingly unqualified.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;What is bizarre is that anyone is worried about this stuff. &lt;/i&gt;

Go beyond the halo effect.  Use your own brains and eyes a bit, wil ya?

How are we &#039;helpless&#039;?  Tough actions need to be taken, but this gutless &#039;do nothing&#039; congress will only squabble the trivial stuff.  Each individual needs to take up his own responsibility, but they were taught it was not their fault but to rely on the &#039;government&#039;.

And newsflash for you, it was not as if the world LOVE us before 2000.  I know because I travelled a bit.</description>

		<description>What is bizarre is that anyone is worried about this stuff. So Johnson had a mortgage with countrywide and now he has left the VP vetting thing? Next ...

Sure we want our president to be squeaky clean, but you can get silly about what that means. A guy doing the research on who would make the best running mate and VP shouldn&#039;t have a conflict of interest, but who he has a standard mortgage with -- particualrly when it was one of the big companies is irrelevant. That you republicans are getting yourself into a lather over this simply shows how poor your political position is. 

The fact is that the country is heading for a serious recession, has no means of disentangling itself from a war that is costing $USD10 billion and 50-60 US dead per month and encouraging most of the planet to hate us. We are going massively into debt. We are helpless against oil price shock inflation and unemployment is rising. And you republicans are talking about whether Hawaii was part of the US when Obama was born or who is vetting his VP? 

You may not get onto the wrong end of a landslide, but you sure deserve to. You lot need a serious period away from the beltway to get back into touch with reality. 

Obama 2008!!</description>

		<description>This story has no traction.  The McCain camp is grasping at straws, and sucking wind.  Their story has this written all over it ... &quot;I&#039;m very well paid to say bad things about Obama and make the spin as bad as it can possibly be ... &quot;  Very few people are going to buy this stuff, perhaps a few disgruntled Hillary supporters might, I dunno.

This is a nothing story.  Jim Johnson, a vp vetter got a good deal on a mortgage.  So he recused himself, or Barak did.  OK damage control in effect done. 

Then the McCain camp puts this horrible spin on it.  Spin that defies any logic.  What does that say about the McCain camp?  Nothing good.

If I was McCain I would fire those yokels.</description>

		<description>Well, yes, I&#039;m sure O. doesn&#039;t want us all to know the countries he&#039;s made visits to - and on what dates - and how often.

I don&#039;t want this guy anywhere near our most sensitive secrets. I&#039;m not even comfortable with his being a Senator at this point. Too much information given Senators on Committees.</description>
