Barack Hussein Obama

[cindy0721]

(from DNC keynote speech) "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America. There's the United States of America. We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states. We coach Little League in the blue states, and have gay friends in the red states. There are patriots who opposed the war, and patriots who supported it. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, all of us defending the United States of America."

how can you not back this man?

I know!!! When I saw the different interviews and now reading the link you posted....I like him. Then this morning I got that email and just wasn't sure what to think. Right at this moment, I like him more than I fear him.

lol.... I really like him, hubby and I are both Republicans but I would vote for him before Hillary ... really.... weird huh, since I am a woman...

Neither of them will get my vote! If I had to choose I just wouldn't vote! I hope we have an awesome Republican running!

Janet, don't feel bad starting this thread here. I haven't checked YT to see what happened there. I think the active posters here, while we may not always agree, will at least respect each other's opinions.

I for one am an independent. Before Bush invaded Iraq, I considered myself a Republican although I did not always vote for the Republican candidate. Now, I will always endeavor to be informed and vote for the candidate that I feel will do the best in the position.

Any debate that gets us questioning and learning and seeking the facts prior to an election is a good debate.

Hillary will not get my vote. I just don't agree with her politics, and don't trust her.

Obama has promise, though lacks experience, which honestly may not be a bad thing. I just hope one of the parties comes up with a good honest sincere candidate who does not have a hidden personal agenda and has some common sense.

Thanks for posting the Snoops link Rebecca!! I couldn't have explained it better than they did.

I love Obama, I personally think he would make a great President, he's what the country needs.

If you wanna read any of his stuff he actually has two books, The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father. The Audacity of Hope actually came out not to long ago and what I've read of it so far is really good.

I like Obama, and if he makes it through the primaries I'm definitely voting for him!!

CNN heard about your thread!! Just kidding, but check out this article.

Looks like they are blaming Hillary. Does look like we are in for a nasty couple of years. I really am not looking forward to it!!!

We need to keep our focus on here of being friends and not get too carried away over this. I'm talking to myself here as much as anyone else. I can get pretty passionate about some of the issues. I will work very hard to not go ballistic on here. If things do get crazy, we need to promise each other we will keep it in the Vent forum.

I'll agree to that!

LOLOL Marilyn you scared me to death!!! I'm with you as to not looking forward to what could be a nasty campaign. I know MY focus is to not post anymore threads that could possibly become controversial AND I usually keep political views personal. Like I said earlier I will always search first before I ask or paste something like that again. LOLOL, matter of fact...I put a yellow sticky on my monitor that says....."Search first, may be controversial." I'm not taking any more chances!!! My feellings get hurt too easily.
