i'm never more astounded than in articles like this where the true nature of "we" americans stands out like a dead, burnt tree in the middle of a desert of sand. We are so full of venom towards people different from ourselves its just amazing. Experience? Oh yes, we should certainly rely on the experience of those who've had it and brought us to this point in time, where the US looks like a pimp, raping and pillaging for its own very limited benefit, global economies and environment be damned. You betcha, I want more of that same old stuff. You bet, I'm gonna vote "against" somebody just because I'm so short sighted regarding somebody they know but don't agree with - I'm gonna vote "against" somebody because they're not like me. Oh no, I'm not gonna vote FOR somebody I don't want to make the most serious decisions this country will face regarding the viability of our own future on the globe - I'm just gonna vote "against" what I don't understand. You bet.

I must agree with the comments made by "IT Specialist" of SSA. I also do not understand why Reverend Wright is still an issue. Reverend Wright is not a presidential candidate. America being a free country, everyone is entitled to their opinion - whether I agree with it or not. I do not blame Obama for not leaving his place of worship. I have not always agreed with some of my pastor's sermons but as long as he/she is not preaching heresy I will remain in attendance. I only left a church some years ago because the pastor while at the pulpit expressed the view that every Christian should vote for candidate Bush. I thoroughly believe in the separation between government and religion.
My other point is why are some Americans questioning Obama's name. A person's name does not make the person. Too many times Obama has pointedly stated that he is not a Muslim. Why is this still an issue? The only thing I can surmise is that closet racists are just hiding behind this issue.

I work and live in the DC metro area. I read about Senator Obama "ability and capacity to cross partisian lines, reach out to the global community, strive to rebuild this country's reputation in the world, solve the problems facing our society today". Howevr, I can not find any tangible examples that support these statements, can someone provide some examples of this side of Senator Obama that escapes me? I have read the same statements coming from republicans as well.

I firmly believe that of all of this year's candidates, Clinton would make the best president. But if she's not the nominee (and it certainly doesn't look that way), I'm voting for Obama simply because he's a Democrat. I don't think this country can afford 4 more years of a Republican in the White House.
I'm also disappointed by the tone of many of these comments (esp. the anti-Obama ones). I agree you're not racist just because you don't want to vote for him. But the "reasons" certainly encourage that interpretation. Muslim apologist? I don't understand where these labels such as this one are coming from. Oh, wait...sure I do. His father was a muslim. So he's bad. But it doesn't mean you're racist if you spout this line of ...
Happy about Obama

I heard Obama speak. For the first time ever, I had tears in my eyes after listening to a politician. There is no doubt that this man can articulate and inspire. It was so good to hear someone "say it like it is". There was no pretenses and no posturing. Lack of experience? Yes, but more than George Bush had, or Reagan, Jimmy Carter, or many others. Sorry, but McCain is scary. I never want to hear or see any of those neocons again.
strange election

It is a strange election year shaping up. It should not be close. One candidate associates with a man who bombed federal facilities and expressed remorse he was not able to kill or maim more federal military or civilian employees; goes to church for 20 years or so and never noticed the racist, anti-American rants or accepted them or didn't hear them or thought no one would notice or thought it was necessary to listed in order to win an election (or whatever the story of the day is); labeled as the most liberal member of the Senate and would clearly turn us into a high tax, social welfare state with the corresponding high unemployment, declining productivity and rewarding our least productive members of society at the expense of everyone else. He does provide entertainment with a great speech.
The other candidate is too old but is a former prisoner of war who has stood up for his beliefs and put his life on the line for our country and has been in favor of lower taxes, capitalism, and wants to reward those with the most energy and most productivity.
If McCain is able to highlight the issues that need to be highlighted, the election will not be close. The question is whether he is willing or able to do that. No doubt, anyone who supports him will be labeled various terrible names but that seems to be the price of winning national elections. It should be an interesting election year as we decide if American will move forward or become another declining welfare state along the lines of "Old Europe."

I'm still waiting for the street rioting and looting if Obama does not get either the democratic nomination or the general election!!
Not racist, just stating an obvious fact. Similar to the decline of property values when the neighborhood turns into the hood.
