These Obamaites are having great difficulty finding an issue that will “get” John McCain...Obamaites are doing their best to find something that will scrub their candidate clean. It’ll take a hell of a lot to scrub the stench of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Louis Farrakhan and Father Phleger off Obama. And, it isn’t going to happen using John McCain…nitwits.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots.

A President who chose the moon as our new frontier.

And a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can….Yes we can…. Yes we can… Yes we can.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can… Yes we can… Yes we can… Yes we can…

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We want change…. We want change…We want change…

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ..........

We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about….

Hope…

We want change… We want change… We want change….

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America.

That we are not as divided as our politics suggests;

That we are one people.

We are one nation.

And together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast.

From sea to shining sea --

Yes~! We~! Can~!…Yes~! We~! Can~!…Yes~! We~! Can~!…Yes~! We~! Can~!…

The hit piece from which you derive your opinion was written as the Gore's were converting their house to green energy. They had purchased the house 14 months before the article was written.

And Gore paid for carbon credits to offset his travel.

You really should try to keep up.

Please get rid of that sick avatar! I like your pride and Hillary DOES have a chance if people pull together and bash Obama. The press needs to be behind this and vet Obama! They are reluctant, because Obama has bought them out with Obama money!

Obama supporters do not know what they are doing Hillary IS the better candidate and she is an American!

Vote Hillary, make noise so the delegates will know your choice. Find some way to hurt the delegates, if thety do not comply with the wishes of the people, DEFEAT OBAMANATION (immoral sex fiend) and get a true American in the White House!

Throughout this entire political campaign OBAMA's people have been bashing Hillary and telling lies in order for their candidate to win! Obama's past should be uncovered and the public allowed to judge!

When you publish the truth, Obama supporters will tear you down. What kind of people are they any way!

Obamanation!

iria, why not find a story on how obama, as a freshman senator, could afford a $1.7 MILLION mansion in chicago?
the fact that the business started by cindy mccain's father is about to make money from what anhauser-bush is doing has NOTHING to do with anything!

you and mr_bill are 2 of the MOST hateful people i've EVER encountered!
