Obama is weak. Hillary is vicious. we need her OUT.

I dont think Obama is as weak as you think he is.

He virtually came out of nowhere, and now he's thisclose to defeating The Mighty Hillary.

Dangerous maybe, but not weak.

As much as I'm not a Hillary fan, I'd much rather live under a Clinton presidency than an Obama presidency.

All I can say, it's time for praying people to pray and conservatives who really love this great country of ours to vote for the lesser of the evils. God help us!!

Okay here goes...

As a black woman in this country, I will admit it would be nice to see a black man be voted into office. It would be good for our kids to see that black men can excel in a position of leadership and rule with excellence.

It will do my heart good to see that the blood of many wasn't shed in vain. Its not a racial thing. Just imagine if you were born and raised in a country where you were the minority. Where your race was still discriminated against after decades or even a century or more of strides towards racial equality.

Then you look at the State of the Union address and instead of seeing someone who never has walked in your shoes, or experienced what you have telling you how the country is. In is world, yes. But for many, the State of the Union is jacked up, for all, but moreso for your race.

In times of economic upheavel, civil unrest, and national uncertainty and fear, you would better believe what is coming out of the President's mouth when that President is of your race.

So yes, it would be history making, ground breaking and for us refreshing to see a fresh face in the White House. McCain and Hillary been around talking the same swagger. I listened to some Iowans say they just plain don't trust her, I was like, DITTO. I don't either.

Now I understand she is a woman. So I should support her because she is a woman? No.

I say whoever is most qualified AND whomever the people trust and want should be President.

I'm sorry, out of the choices presented, I honestly can say I trust Obama more. He comes from a single parent household, I am a single parent.

He has had to overcome obstacles to make it, I have, too.

He is well educated, intelligent black man, I am a well educated, intelligent black woman.

He wants this war to end. I do too.

He came to N.O. about a month ago and the man preached! He reached the people, real people! Hillary came a week after, but people were like, 'why this white woman down in N.O. trying to get my vote? Does she really care what happens to me and my kids?'

Is it right that many will dismiss her because of who she is? Probably not. But that is the reality.

People are tired of having folks in office who aren't real. Who cannot relate to regular people.

Have any of you ever seen 'Head of the State?'

It is a movie with Chris Rock. He is a down and out alderman in NY who is encouraged to run for President. Many think b/c he is black he won't win. Then they dig up some trash from his past, try to miscontrue words he spoke during interviews, and try to stick scandal on him so he can't win.

No one, including Chris, believes he can win.

In the end, he does. It is a hilarious movie.

Talk about fiction come to life here!!!!!

I believe he can win, and if he were conservative, he would have my vote. In good conscience, I just cannot bring myself to vote for any liberal.

I’ll proudly admit that I voted for Obama in Ohio’s Democratic Primary.

Do I agree with everything he believes? No.

But I look at it like this….

McCain’s a phony conservative that is licking the boots of the corporate interests who control the Republican Party. He’s just a “yes man”, a “figure head”, just like Bush is. That’s why McCain’s sticking to the same policies…he’s not his own man. Also McCain is a womanizing lush. If he wins…nobody knows what we’re really getting. The best guess is that we’d get “Bush III”. Bush, in my opinion is terribly incompetent the policies Bush has stood by are failures, especially his domestic policy. Small businesses are really struggling here in Ohio. Its good times for massive corporations…it’s turbulent waters for small businesses. So McCain’s not a man I can support.

Hillary, she’s never really been herself. I wish she would open up more and be herself because she’s really far more likeable than the image she presents. I believe that comes from being a woman competing for political office in a man’s world. She’d just offer us more Clinton. Sure, times might have been good during the Clinton Administration, but that was then…this is now. Bush pushed us back into the 80’s, Hillary wants to bring us up into the 90’s…but it’s not the 90’s, it’s 2008. So I see her running to establish another chapter in the Clinton legacy. Would I vote for her over McCain? Maybe, but I’d much rather see her out of the race.

Obama, Obama is pretty liberal and I don’t agree with everything he believes. But…though we may disagree with some things he believes…he’s honest about what he believes. He really wants to make a difference. He’s honest about being a liberal compared to McCain, who’s a phony conservative. Obama wants to see real change. Hillary is pushing “Clinton III” and McCain is pushing “Bush III”. Obama is pushing…an Obama Administration. That’s spelled C-H-A-N-G-E. Obama hasn’t been in Washington very long. That mean’s he’s not as beholden to special interests like Hillary and McCain and is closer to being an average man like us. He’s definitely not establishment. McCain and Hillary also don’t have a spiritual bone in their bodies…but Obama is a very spiritual man though we may disagree with some of his theology (we don’t even agree with each other theologically). Obama is a praying man and has been faithful to his church, even if we don’t agree with everything his church teaches. Obama has sincere and genuine faith…even if we don’t agree with him on every point. Not so with McCain and Hillary. For McCain and Hillary their religion is merely a membership card to wave before the election. Obama will be a straight shooter who will be more likely to tell us what we don’t want to hear in a way that we will be glad he did.

So in summary, I believe my choices are…

McCain = A phony conservative who only offers “Bush III”.

Hillary = A cold liberal who only offers “Clinton III”.

Obama = An authentic liberal who is sincere about real change.

I know plenty of black brothers and sisters and let me tell you, they are straight up and tell it like it is…even if it’s not popular. They also don’t care what you think about them. They’ve experienced too much to worry about what somebody else thinks. Think about it…that’s what makes black comedians so funny…they just know how to tell it like it is. LOL
