Obama veep speculation heats up

And we certainly don't need four years of Barack Obama who has no experience that would deem him capable of leading this nation on a global stage.
What has he done as a senator? Run for president, and that's about it.
He looks great and can read speeches others have written for him pretty well, but I wouldn't trust him further than I can spit.
One can tell a man by the company he keeps, and Obama has kept company with terrible racists.

So you Democrats believe in age discrimination, hey? Well, there are 40 million American citizens over the age of 65 and 73 million over the age of 55, all eligible to vote. And they vote in higher percentages than any other age group. So good luck with your anti-senior citizen tirade on behalf of the youthful, inexperienced, inept Obumbler.

Hillary will not play second fiddle to Obama, nor should she. Barrack stole states from Hillary. Luckily Barrack does still not have enough delegates for the nomination. Hillary's name will be in nomination at the convention and a roll call vote will be taken. Barrack has now fallen behind McCain in the polls. Only Hillary at the top of the ticket will work. Delegates are now switching from Obama back to Hillary.
NObama!!!
HILLARY in '08!!!!!

Everything you said is wrong. It's a terrible commentary that people continue to believe garbage and not bother to find out things for themselves. I guess that's too much trouble and takes too much time.
First, does getting shot down out of an airplane constitute as experience in foreign matters? If you're a POW aren't you by yourself? Where are you gathering the experience?
Second, give the man credit for running a brilliant campaign while being virtually unknown to overcome the Clinton machine. You have to have something going on. And afterall, what is the President's role if it's not to manage, put smart people in place around you, have good judgement to not get us into trouble, be a good listener, can get along with others. Knowing people without good judgment doesn't mean you don't have good judgment. I've heard McCain swears at his own colleagues. I would think he'd know better given he's in his 70s. I'd be more concerned about his temper and love of war to elect him as Commander-in-Chief.
Third, Obama writes the majority of his own stuff. He doesn't have a ghostwriter because he doesn't need one.
Fourth, I invite you to read transcripts of the entire speeches from both Rev Wright and Father Phleger. You'll see when put in context instead of a sound bite, both spoke the truth. America is a racist country. Everyone knows it here and abroad, I don't know why white people are pretending otherwise. It may be painful to hear but sometimes the truth is painful.

I get so angry when someone makes a statement that Obama is weak on national security. Having an 8 yr old on the no fly list and almost a million people on that list does that make you feel safer at night? The Dems wants security that is smarter starting with putting people in the jobs that they are qualified for not how it is under this administration.

Yes, we know the rules.
1) We OWE Barack and Michelle the White House -- they are ENTITLED.
Therefore,
1) If you are black, vote your race. We love you.
2) If you are white, Hispanic, Asian or any other race, vote for Obama.
NOTE: If you don't vote for Obama, you are racist. We hate you.
But wait.....
Whites for Obama 39%
Whites for McCain 49%
Blacks for Obama 97%
Blacks for McCain 3%
Now who did you say was racist?

McCain will be 72 years old on August 29th and he is no different then Bush with his disasterous policies that have made our country in to the mess that it is in now.
Get to the polls and vote for Barack Obama in November! I am getting fired up now, the Democrats need to unite and we need to get a win in November! My father, who was a great football coach and a Democrat, always had his teams motivated to play hard in the 4th quarter. Football games, and elections, are won in the 4th quarter.
We don't need 100 more years of war, 100 more years of economic recession, 100 more years of a health care and education crisis, and 100 more years of the same old Bush-like policies.
Future generations want to live in a world of peace and not fear, a world of happyness and not hate, and in a world that values people more then it values money. The Democrats value people, and the Republicans value money. The Democrats are the party of the people.
VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA AND LETS GET A DEMOCRAT WIN IN NOVEMBER!
