....not for the better
(maybe that's what he means)
maybe that's what he means by Redeployment
War with Iran and Pakistan
wouldn't that be a change?
we'll see how much of a Hawk Obama is.
Its really a sad state of affairs. The Iraq war should have been a central issue this election. Instead its simply "change". What change he will bring is the question. I have little faith in the corporate candidates. Business as usual.0 -

where's the Change?
In your hand.
If Obama has his way, and implements massively inflationary entitlement programs, while continuing this war (okay okay, pulling out "orderly" ... which i read as SLOW AS ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................)
... if he does that ...
the change will be what is left in your hand after the rest of your dollar's value dissapears in thin air.
You will be left holding some nickles and dimes,
and going ... "Change!"
"yes we can!"
WOO HOO!If I was to smile and I held out my hand

I really don't see what's so bad about Obama. He actually seems like a fairly enlightened soul compared to the other candidates.
Obama does come across as enlightened and he can certainly inspire a crowd. He delivers speaches very well, but to me it seems like feel good rhetoric. I can't envision his plan for America, because what I've heard of it is so vague and open to subjective interpretation.
I fear that everybody is hearing what they want to hear from a very eloquent and impassioned speaker. I admire the way he has been able to inspire enthusiasm in our nation, but at the end of the day I want somebody in office who is ready for the job.
I am concerned that the Republicans will chew Obama up and spit him out if he ends up being the Democratic candidate. I do not want another Republican in office.
I am fortunate to live in an area that votes 83% Democrat no matter who is on the ballot. So come election day I have the luxury of voting for who I'd really like to see as President (in my little utopian world), even if I have to write it in.
I wish luck to all of you voting in nailbiter-down-to-the-last-vote areas.Walking can be a real trip

Im still here wrote:so what you are saying is critical thinking isn't worth your time
just keep believing what the Mainstream Media tells you to believe ok
maybe our IQ as a Nation will slip another few points, who cares anyway, right?), allow me to reiterate IQ MEANS JACK SHIT! It doesn't mean a damn thing and is in no way a true indicator of actual intelligence. What is much more telling are the words and ideas that come out of one's metaphorical mouth, and you, to be brutally honest, really sell yourself short.

My opinion is backed up by facts, not just false fantasies of change
if you only watch the first 2 minutes of this you will see Obama is Pro War
in his own words he states this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNdHd3TXruc
The National Intelligence report clearly states that Iran has suspended it's Nuclear Program and is not a threat to us in the least
but Obama clearly says, "I am not going to Nuke anyone, RIGHT NOW."
the words that scare me are right now, so that means maybe later?
use your critical thinking skills, open up your mind and weigh the facts, he is not about change, he is about more of the same
have you even listened to what "Your Man" has actually said?PEARL JAM~Lubbock, TX. 10~18~00

Link doesn't seem to work for me. i will say, however, though i admittedly cannot review the link, that an internet website titled "opensecrets.org" reeks to me of bullshit journalism. Any jackass can put up a website and fill it with false material in attempt to pass it off as truth. It takes a special kind of jackass, however, to believe everything they dig up on the fucking web.
i will also say that senator Obama has made public his tax returns for fuck's sake. Something cunton seems to be refusing to do. He apparently has nothing to hide in regards to this issue."When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."0 -

You're kidding me, right, your "proof" and "facts" are small soundbytes carefully edited together on a fucking YouTube video?! First of all, there is absolutely no context to any of that shit. Its just a bunch of soundbytes put together, probably by some Paultard, in a weak ass attempt to distort the truth and convince thre easily convinced such as yourself. Besides, would you tell me that Iran with a nuclear weapon is NOT a threat to parts of the world including the United States? That's just a common sense statement. It's in no way "beating the war drum". Nor is it warmongering to say that options are not "taken off the table" when dealing with potential national security threats. Again, its simply common sense."When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."0 -

The National Intelligence Report has said clearly stated that Iran stopped it's Nuclear Program in 2002 or 2003
