Obama won't be able to end the war 'just like that', no candidate can, no matter what they promise. I would be afraid of the catastrophic events that could happen if we were to 'just pull out.' I want our soldiers home too, but we need to bring them home...for good.

We have to go by our gut feeling and from our own research....it's really all we have, because we can't believe every thing we read or hear. Even when they talk about the voting that each candidate did for certain laws..etc...there are reasons...maybe there was more good than bad in the bill that was being voted on, but the candidates pick out the one thing or hot topic that they hope will screw their opponents chances. So before believing these accusations...check out the whole bill first. This was just an example.

It's a lot of work figuring out the best person for the job and if one does it by just reading the newspaper or listening to the ads on TV then they won't be able to make an intelligent vote. This goes for both sides.

This is going to be one of the most 'take sides' elections with more arguements between friends, family members and strangers AND I think have more people voting than in many previous elections. I for one, wish it was over with.

Janet, i agree with you on the war, people expect an instant solution and that is simply not possible...
however, i don't know what "bill" you are talking about i was talking about his heavy involvement in the church of rev. wright... which is very disturbing to me as he said that we deserved 9/11 and countless other horrid things... it's hard for me to side with a candidate who if he ddn't share those views didn't quit the church that preached them
