I was sooo Obama but now I cannot vote for him. Back when Imus put his foot in his mouth Obama proclaimed he should be fired. Clearly it was a matter of freedom of speech and Obama decided he was not for freedom of speech. I'm not OK with what Imus said…not at all. But I am more against Obama being against freedom of speech. what other freedoms is he going to be against in order to keep Al Sharpton on his side. Think about it people

YOU KNOW WHY WHITE PEOPLES HAVE 50 TIME MORE CHANCE TO GET CANCER THAN OTHER RACES?

Appearing on a trendy magazine…Check. Celebrity endorsements…Check. Hanging with Al Sharpton…Check. Wanting to have a sitdown with rogue nations…Check. This equals a guarantee NO WIN if running for the presidency. Sorry…he's a recipe for disaster!!!

Jill says – reply to this

The media makes him seem so peachy and perfect- it's not a correct representation. He doesn't have enough experience to be president, during his first term(and only term, look at that!) he sided with JOHN MCCAIN on issues involving government spending and immigration. John McCain is a republican people, don't be fooled to think Obama is any different.

Ron Paul for president, look it up.

I so want Obama to win, but just imagine all the racist rhetoric that will be spewed from the Republicans once he gets nominated. It'll be Willie Horton all over again, except much worse. I just don't know if I can handle that.

I hate how people say "he may be the first black president" and he tries to identify with the black people…people he is NOT black. He is half black,half white and was raised by his white grandparents.
Shelly says – reply to this

43

Will good looks make him a good President, I don't think so, and why does he studder, during debates, a lot. He will meet with other countries, not even knowing why he is meeting them. Why did he hide he smoked cig.? Wonder what else he is hiding. And didn't he go to school, as a muslin or muslim?? A former muslin or muslim President in the USA I don't think so. Think people….yes he's good looking but what the Fuck does looks has to do with being President.How do you say that Muslin or Mulim…bullshit in my dictionary.

Selena, Enough already with your racist remarks about latinos being the best and white people have cancer running thru there blood, Id love to see you survive one day in mexico, they,d toss your ass out of their so fast it make your racist head spin! be proud and happy of the free country you live in and our for fathers who made this all possible for you and me to live in a country of freedom and free speach, stop with your racist remarks, let me guess? your under 21 years old? cause these comments your making could only be coming from some un educated, unhappy person.
zoe says – reply to this

45

the man is extremely good looking yes!!! I think people are just scared of change, that's all. Who knows if he's gonna be a good president or not. No one does. What matters is listening to your heart. You have to be able to trust the unknown before you vote. This will tell whether you trust Obama, Mrs Clinton…ect enough to vote for them. Instincts should be a big part when voting.

I might get put off the map after this one….
Ok…I suppose that you people want BUSH in the house until we all die!
Clinton..was the bomb..who cares that he got his candlestick waxed..who doesn't ! When Clinton was in the house..WE HAD MORE MONEY..to go around..UNLESS YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN, and might I add..RICH! We working people KNow who to vote For……
OOOO that might not be all that us DEMS need…After all..THEY(HE) did cheat to get into the White House! That would be all that we need is another bad one..to take forever for Disaters..that effected people of all races!

I'm actually devided..HILL, or O…either way..it will be a ground breaking history in the making!

Perecito, I agree that Obama give you the "illusion" of integrity and caristma. He even seems very nice. Granted. But is just an illusion. For God's sake last week this guy said he will meet with "Castro, Chavez and the idiot in Iran "uncondicionally".
What the hell is that? No conditions to meet with those bastards? Is he nuts?

The majority will not vote for him. And not because he is black, but because his name is Obama,was raced by two radical muzlims and want to meet "unconditionally" with the dictators of the world.

Giuliani is the man. And I'm a registered democrat.

Fantastic man, but it's not his year. He's too young and hasn't had enough exposure to the real rules of global politics. He needs to get on someone else's ticket and win in '08 then go on to be a two-term president in the future. Not Clinton–she's not presidential material. She will NEVER win in this country–too many rich fat white men hate her.

A Richardson/Obama ticket would be fantastic. Edwards/Obama too, but I don't think it'd win.

I'm from Chicago, Ill and Obama is just like all the rest….want real change, then google Ron Paul for president.

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

OK, this is a little superficial but I cannot get past the 15 year old mustache peach fuzz or the shit stain around his mouth…whichever it is I cannot get past it. He constantly looks like he's in the beginning stages of crowing a stache and it's hard to get past. Make-up Obama…get some

What does anybody really know about him other than he is charismatic? Nothing! He complains about "politics as usual" then does the same. Can anybody actually say where he stands on ANY issue????
Tia says – reply to this

Obama isn't the best candidate. People want to vote for him just because he's black, which is racist in itself yet they don't realize it. By trying to be ANTI RACISM, you're really for it by voting for the minority regardless of what issues he believes in. I am pretty sure the average Obama fan has no clue about his voting record.

are all you hillary clinton people for real? SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ, then claimed that she didn't know we were going to war. that is her experience for you. obama always spoke out against the war even when it was 'unpatriotic' to do so. hillary would never have gone anywhere if she wasn't married to bill clinton and their entire marriage is a complete sham. obama is the future. to all you people who say his charisma is an illusion…how can charisma be an illusion? the illusion is reality. great presidents all had charisma, jfk anyone? not that that's all he has going for him. he is smart as hell and will drag our country out of the self-destructive downward spiral we got ourselves into with the war in iraq. hillary doesn't even want to meet with leaders of other countries because of bad 'publicity'. if anyone has noticed the entire world already effing hates us we need a new strategy.

Number 21, What are you talking about even he is of African descent. Look in a science book the whole world is of African descent. I'm white and I know for a fact that white people who live in Kenya, Mali, Cameroon and various other African countries, call themselves African too, because they live there and because DNA does not lie. I have voted Republican for most of my life but not anymore. As was stated, the poor white European farmers and the poor Africans built our country. It was our Black and White ancestors labour that made us what we are today. And we are handing over our heritage to the illegal aliens. Believe me, God willing, there will never be an hispanic president because they don't deserve it. So just go back to Mexico Selena and try to change that corrupt country, not ours.

To all people in this forum. Don't waste your time. Barack Hussein Obama (yes, that's his real name) will never be elected by the democratic party. He will not be a final candidate, Hillary will. She has the power and is acting as a secret partisian agent of Ted Kennedy to get that nomination. The women wants the presidency all her life, that's the reason the married Clinton. That's the reason she put up with infidelities.That's the reason the wanted to be New York's senator (She enver lived in New York).

Dear Hillary, braze yourself, Giuliani will screw you so badly, you will never recovered.

And that will be the end of it.

This man scares the hell out of me. Yes, we need a change, but not this bad. If you look into his documented past, you will see he has lied more than once to the nation already. And people will still vote for him. A word to the wise: He is NOT who he has said he is. Osama Obama. Why do I say that? Look up his history. Do we really want someone who has snowed many over already for his religious past as well as other things? Hilary and Obama are definitly NOT what this county needs, and I am not really Repub or Dem. I believe in voting for the best person. Mark my words though, if we get Osama…..excuse me, OBAMA, or Hilary…..People beware, taxes are going way up. Celebrities always go for the canidates like this….but they are not really affected as much as the common man. They can afford to have these 2 in the White House. I can't. I am not looking forward to coming back and saying "I told you so", but I will.

Are you people all idiots?? It's dumbasses like you that have caused this country to go to shit–he was raised a muslim–went to muslim school–MUSLIM, you know, the people who hate us and want to kill us all???? You idiots are probably the same bleeding hearts that want to legalize the illegals–you know, the ones that are ruining our country and usurping all of our social security–the same SS that I have been paying for since I was 16 that I am still paying for and will never see a penny of thanks to the illegals!! Idiots!!

OH PLEASE GOD ALMIGHTY I HOPE HE WINS! Then hopefully blacks won't bitch about "racial injustices" ’cause one of them is president of the goddamned country. If he wins, US will finally probably say RIP to the "blame crackers," "African-Americans have no power" and "white people control everything" mentality that most blacks and liberal whites have tormented us for years… 2008 will be the last year of that shit (if he wins). Yay! Wouldn't that be the greatest fucking dream in the eyes of white Americans. That said, I say let's HURRY UP AND PUT THIS BITCH IN THE WHITE HOUSE! PRONTO!

Yes he did convert to christianity–because otherwise he could never run for anything–you don't think he has held on to any of the shit they brainwashed into him? And no shit, not all muslims are terrorists??? Thank God you told me–I would have thought that forever!! Can you imagine how they will celebrate if he is elected?? That's just one step closer in their eyes–one step closer to our destruction. No wonder the rest of the world hates us!!
john m says – reply to this

99

He's got like a 10% shot. As far as I'm concerned it's the only hope.

All the republicans would just bomb Iran and put surveillance cameras here "to stop crime," and Hillary would act really reluctant but then do the same things.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
