What Obama means to me

i wouldn't be surprised. I put nothing pass that "person."

So far, the ideology, the phrasing, remains the same. He won't admit I really scored a point so he switches ID's. Its a common tactic on these message boards. He's not the 1st one to do it, he's not the last.

Wait until good old Rahm starts leaking everything he does not agree with just like after Obamas first briefing By GW and also the CIA. Rahm is a joke and by no means a patriot. He'll leaks anything he wants to and has no regrets.

Kinda like how college libs shout down conservative speakers? Is this what you speak of? Who tries to silence you? Can you be specific please. Back up your statement.

Quote from an unknown writer. "If you are not a liberal by the time you are in your twenties, then you have no heart. If you are not a conservative by the time you are in your thirties, then you have no brain." These words are true because liberalism has always proven that it fails. The republicans got away from being true republicans. This will change.

like some christians got away from being "true" christians.. oh please with the B.S.

how do you distinguish true shyt from just regular shty?

As do I. Just don't confuse debate with trying to silence you. You comment as do all of us.

First, I am neither a liberal nor a conservative. I stand for personal freedom and personal responsibility. I am an America 1st female who speaks out against the lies and distortions of political correctness espoused by our leaders, our schools, and our print and electronic media. I feel that political correctness is a deliberate war against the concept that made America the envy of the world.

Rahm Emmanuel, Rod Blagovich, Pastor Wright, Louis Farakhan, Richard Daley, Todd Stroger, are all cut from the same dirty piece of cloth. Just like Obama, they are products of the Democrat Machine which is part of the most corrupt state in the nation.
If you think that bunch of crooks is going to help your man Obama, than I have some swamp land in Arizona to sell you.
Your hopes for the future are being dashed by the people that Obama is picking to consist of his cabinet.
And what a man of the people your man Obama is. I wonder what the rent on the villa in Hawaii is and who is REALLY paying for it.

The landslide I speak of is across the board, not just for President. The states themselves are voting Democrats in for House and Senate overwhelmingly. If the GOP doesn't change their ways they will be almost eliminated soon. Their power is at an all time low. People talk about how in 4 or 8 yrs the tables will turn. But I don't think so. As another said, the Republicans have turned into something else. They are not the same party that was run by Reagen. If they cannot come away from the far Right they have no chance.........and no I am not a name changer. I have been blogging on other sites with this name. I just found this one that is why you have never seen me before. I am an Independent, somewhat close to the center but leaning left. I voted for Reagen and Clinton. Don't blame me for Bush because I didn't vote for him either time. Independents vote for what is right....not for any party lines...

I think i had aired my views once in this thread in the beginning.
i uphold the same view with a critical comment.

Obama is like
" a blind mand in a dark room
searching a black cat(decency)
which is not there"

Politicians in general are a bunch of crooks. We just have to decide which crooks we want. Obama, at this time is not a crook. I hope that he doesn't turn into one but time will tell. I have been around awhile and have never seen anyone like him. He is from a different cloth but has to deal with the Chicago corruption in his way so he can rise up. Yes, we know Chicago is terrible. The next IL Governor in 2010 will be a Republican for sure.

He is a very good speaker BUT he may not be a citizen of this country. Evidence suggests he is either Barack Obama or Barry Soetero - born in either Kenya or Indonesia.
Another day - another scam artist!
Of course to suggest this is an open invitation for "spontanoeous" riots to break out across America that might leave our cities in ashes.

Have you READ any of his writings? The issue of his citizenship, as the Supreme Court has recently ruled, is a non-issue.
Now can we deal in the realm of IDEAS? Policies? Even LITERATURE, considering the artistic character of his memoir?

Just who are you to decide who is racist and what isnt?
I know you will take the coward's way out and dismiss this question...
but I've yet to see any proof of superiority eminating from what you post other than someone who takes himself/herself too seriously.

Perhaps, you're taking the coward's way out with this PHONY issue of Obama's citizenship. If you have PROOF--not suspicions--that Obama wasn't born in Hawaii as the record shows, then I'm sure the Republican Party would have had it also, and we would have heard about it during the election.
There's no way FoxNews would have let THAT slide.
Have he courage to admit that the guy you don't like WON, and won in a free and fair election--with none of the taint that happened with Bush's election of 2000.
The ship has sailed. Barack Obama is PRESIDENT OF THE UNITES STATES as of January 20, 2009. The rest is meaningless pish posh.

Hey, breaking news, the Obama team has completed their investigations of themselves and found that they're completely innocent of any wrong doing in the Illinois Governor scandal.

Bush should take a lesson and let his team investigate themselves to conclude that there was nothing wrong with the intelligence leading up to the Iraq War. That should put everything to rest.

Take a look at the people who were close to Obama in the Chicago political machine. I think it is hilarious that some of you people expect us to think he's not done anything underhanded and that he's as pure as the wind driven snow.

If you reach into a septic tank and find a hamburger, it's still going to have sh+t on it and you won't want to eat it.

I have to give him credit, he knows how to both investigate himself and clear himself of any wrong doing.

NAME CALLING, MUST WE?

How about an analysis? I noticed an absence of response to my question of whether people in this thread had READ any of Obama's writings. I noticed the absence of any response, except for Ms. Taletha. And she didn't REALLY answer the question, but raised the dead issue of Obama's citizenship. Have you READ anything? Or are you just talking out your azzholes?
Perhaps there should be a rule that this forum will hereby be a REAL forum, a public space in which ideas, issues and practices are rationally discussed and debated; and that henceforth you are not to post on a subject until you've taken the trouble to inform yourself on it.

Have you hard evidence of such wrongdoing? Guilt by suspicion or by association isn't evidence. It also involves fallacious reasoning.
And by the way, Obama is not responsible for the investigation of the corrupt governor. This is a federal investigation which is carried out by the usual legal authorities.
Again, offer HARD PROOF or move on to a topic concerning which you are informed.

I agree with you. Maybe we will all see the truth and hold our elected officials accountable.

Truth is a new president was elected on nothing. Never asked a tough question. Coddled by the media. This is fact. Why is that? Why is a speech enough with no metal to back it up?
