How Did That Happen????

Filed under: Barack Obama

wenn1715963__opt11.jpg

Wow!

Seemingly overnight, he's got the "bounce."

Barack Obama has opened up a HUGE 15-point lead over Presidential rival John McCain!

According to the latest Newsweek poll, Obama has a substantial double-digit lead, 51 percent to 36 percent, over McCain among registered voters nationwide.

"Overall, voters see Obama as the preferred agent of "change" by a margin of 51 percent to 27 percent. Younger voters, in particular, are more likely to see Obama that way: those 18 to 39 favor the Illinois senator by 66 percent to 27 percent. The two candidates are statistically tied among older voters."

Will Barack's refusal to accept public financing of his campaign affect those numbers negatively next week???

    I am older than most here. I won't state my age though. I am also Jewish and Gay. I will not vote for Mr. Obama. He is completely bad for America. Also as Jewish and Gay I fear his hidden Muslim extremist beliefs put Jewish, Gay, Women and many others in danger. Muslim have long persecuted and killed Jews and Gays. They have abused both physically and sexually Woman. No I won't vote for Mr. Obama because above all I am American and proud to be such

    Re: Wendy – You tell big, fat lies. If you believe them, you're an idiot. If you don't but spread the lies anyway, you should go to hell.
    Obama is Christian.
    Obama is a U.S. citizen and is qualified to be president.
    Obama is not a criminal.
    Obama is not a terrorist.
    Obama does not hate white people.
    Obama does not hate black people.
    He probably does hate big, fat Republitard liars but hey, who can blame him?

    Re: Jack – You forgot the Nation of Islam/Louis Farakan and the PLO. We should probably add France and Canada the two most ungrateful nations on earth who lack any sense of moral courage.

    Re: LucyR
    Go the fuck home…you don't know what you are talking about…
    As a Brit you should really try to focus on your own issues and stop looking at what we are doing…as Americans we did do a little thing called revolutionize our government b/c of how f*'ed up Britian was…look at a little document called the Declaration of Independence

    Thanks for the advice though! I am sure Great Britian knows exactly what it is like here since you pay taxes, vote, and are a legal U.S. citizen Lucy :-)

    Re: Fred – Back it up with facts or shut the fuck up, you obnoxious liar. Republicans will say anything at all whether it is even remotely the truth or not. No wonder the Republican politicians are a joke worldwide — the people who vote for them are psychopaths. Shame, shame, shame.

    Re: annoy – Since we dragged in troops from Great Britain in Bush's disaster of an unnecessary war in Iraq, and since the British are usually capable of reading and do so, I think they have a more informed opinion than many Americans. Like, say, yours, you inbred freak. Go sleep with your cousin or chase possums or whatever it is you do before they start selling alcohol at your local bar.

    Re: fred – Sure you are. Sounds to me like you're Rush Limbaugh on a hillybilly heroin spree. You make no sense and you're near hysterical, and I don't mean in a funny way. Now calm down and stop telling lies.

    Re: Ewww – I know why you go by Ewww, its because your sooo gross. I bet you have never been laid. You really should stop posting so much. You come off as very ignorant, angry and mean. I guess you are Obama's one supporter on here. My husband is a Marine just back from Iraq and would like to meet you somewhere to teach you some respect for the USA. Of course he phrased it a little more colorfully. Please leave your address so he can pay you a visit. Have you ever done anything for your country? If you love Brittianso much then please feel free to move there. They have a huge problem with Islamic Extremist so you should fit in quite well.

    Re: Ewwww – I will still be supporting Hillary as a write in. You seem to be the typical Obama supporter. You do not give real arguments you only sling mud. Please try to debate instead of spewing hate. People have a real problem with Obama for many reasons. Some are justified and aren't. Don't you feel that we as Americans should be able to question Obama's ties to Islam? Why won't he take a polygraph test? Why won't he present his birth certificate? I do not believe Obama can win CA, NY, FL, and most of middle America. Hillary proved herself in these States. I believe Hillary should run as an Independent. She would easily win. I think Obama needs to be more forth coming about many issues. I think his baggage makes him a bad choice. I think ALL Hillary supporters should urge her by calling/emailing her office. HILLARY 08.

    Re: Ewwww – You would vote for Osama too, if he ran as a Dem. Wouldn't you. It is really sad that people like you get the privlige of living free in America yet alone a vote. You have done nothing for this country except complain. You take and take though don't you. You should have to live in Iran or some other Islamic fundementalist country, maybe then you would appreciate what you have in America. You get to freely state your opinions here, no matter how warped they are. Godbless the freedom of America. You would lose you head in Iran. Think real hard before you and your kind turn America into the next Islamic Fundementalist (nice word for extremist) country. Obama or Osama it doesn't matter to you does it?

    321

    wow! This is a gay liberal website and yet this much hate for Obama? It makes me feel good. It tells me that people of both parties feel this guy is bad for America. It really too bad Hillary didn't get the nomination. Then we could have an election based on all the issues instead of if we want a muslim with terrorist ties as President

    Re: HORIA – I AGREE 100%. THE WORLD IS SCREWED! THE BUSHES HAVE FUCKED IT UP, NO ONE CAN CORRECT WHAT THIS RETARD HAS DONE TO YALL'S COUNTY…STUPID WHITE PEOPLE.!!!!!

    323

    Re: TOOLA – Stupid white people? Look at your black neiborhoods. You can't even keep your 'hoods clean how can you expect us to vote for a Black? What have blacks done to make the world better? From what I can see nothing. Name a black country that is thriving? South Africa was under white rule but since the blacks took it back? How about Haiti? Somalia? No none thrive. Blacks are responsible for 75% of violent crime in the U.S. but make up less than 20% of the population. Before you blame the white man look at yourselves. If you want white America to respect you then prove that you are worthy of respect. How come every other race can do it? Hispanics do, Asians do. No the black race has not earned respect from anyone. I will not be voting Obama.

    Of course the media is saying this….they are all left-wing. Don't you remember how everyone was so sure that Kerry was going to beat Bush in '04? If you went by the media, you thought for sure that Bush was out. Guess what though? The people they poll are never the people that actually show up on election day…THE REPUBLICANS!!! You liberals are all idiots.

    Re: mama – I don't think they do believe Obama is a terrorist. I think they're just using a favorite Republican dirty trick and repeating a lie over and over, hoping that if people hear it enough they'll start to believe it. That's because Republicans have no ethics — which is why we should elect Obama in '08. And we will, too.

    Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In his words!
    From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

    From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

    From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

    From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
    From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

    And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!

    From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

    Re: Ralph
    -Obama stands for at LEAST giving peace and decency HALF-A-CHANCE before deciding to blow Iran to smithereens.
    -Obama stands for the invention of new energy sources and solutions, as well as the creation of millions of jobs in that new industry, so maybe the ice caps won't, you know, JUST UNCHECKEDLY CONTINUE MELTING RIGHT THE FUCK OFF, WHICH THEY ARE… *RIGHT NOW*.
    -Obama stands for the fair taxation of the 250-million people who AREN'T making $500,000 per year.
    -Obama stands for the REALITY of the diverse society WE LIVE IN.

    So. What did YOUR guy stand for, again? Still waiting on that one…
