Barack is a talker - great in that. But his actions belie his ideals. I do not think he is fit enough to solve the problems of this country. He is a bit deficient on character, experience. I wish Democratic Party had another suitable candidate for the race. Then there would be no worry about winning the presidential race. In any case, good luck to him.

Looks like Jerome Corsi's book The Obama Nation is right on the money. I am checking his references with this article being the latest on my list. Obama is a scary devious individual who does not deserve high office

He follows Saul Alinsky's philosophy right down the line!

I agree. I just finished the book also and am doing more research on the references. I am a democrat but had something sticking in the back of my head about Obama but just could not pinpoint it. Now I feel better and know my hunches were right on. He is a scary person. A charmer. Wish more people would do their research to look past the charm. This is not a good time for our country.

Alrighty,folks,who you gonna vote for? McCain? Great...you must like the way things are going right now.It seems like some of you didn't read the whole story.He eliminated the competition because too many of the signatures on their petitions were bogus.Which one of the candidates Obama eliminated said that he cheated?
Have you read about some of McCain's adventures? Don't let his military service and POW status blind you.Google "McCain Mofford" and see what you get-but I suspect you'll make an excuse for what he did.
If you are reading Corsi's Obama book,then you are looking for a convenient excuse to hang your hat on to NOT vote for Obama-because you can't just come out and say, "I'm not comfortable with a Black man as President;I can't see myself calling a Black man "Commander In Chief".Corsi was on Larry King and said that he doesn't support either Obama or McCain...so where's his McCain smear book?

Harvard Law Review: He authored nothing.

Law School Lecturer: He authored nothing.

Eliminated all Democratic opponents in State Legislature. Ran, basically, unopposed for U.S. Senate.

Says he is the candidate of change but has wooed the lobbyists until the year he decided to run for POTUS.

Passenger57 is only voting for Obama so he can brag about how enlightened he is for voting for a black man. Unless he favors socialism there is no other reason to vote for Sen. IAM.

Seems he's always needed someone to guide him along. No original thought. Now we see he's just in it for the power.

Obamaa = The demise of our country. We only need one more mistake, he's the mistake.

JOHN MCCAIN STORIES:
Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our war hero---a man of undoubted talents who was a role model for many of his generation--is a congenital liar. Tale by tale, McCain story lifted from a russian novelist, the case is being made he is compelled to mislead, and ensnare his subordinated and friends in a web of deceit. Take a good look at how drastically his carefully crafted images are lifted from Russia novelist. Senator McCain election year history book imageis that of a man out of a story book which each written line change at the drop of a pen.(ref: words of all news media)
Using poor judgment Senator McCain found himself in the middle of several real life situations he do not want to expose without the use of a pen to change the story line. Some things in history John McCain cannot change:
This campaign is no exception. During the primaries, Hillary Rodham Clinton had to back away from claims she “ducked sniper fire” in Bosnia in 1996. Mitt Romney found himself having to explain how he “saw my father march with Martin Luther King,” when it turned out his father never marched with the Rev. Mr. King...
"Their is not a speck of evidence that John McCain have won a war, Plan a war and much more:
For John McCain, the problem isn't coherence, it's bellicosity. McCain has been the strongest global voice behind Georgia since the shooting began. The problem is, when does the McCain tough rhetoric end and World War III begin? The McCain team will argue that the only way to deter Russia, Iran and other global aggressors from taking actions like this is to stand up to them forcefully, with credibility. The problem is the second half of that equation -- with U.S. troops in Iraq and even Georgia unsure how to get their 2,000 Iraqi troops back home in time to make a difference, how exactly would the U.S. help Georgia in this conflict, short of starting an all-out war with the second biggest nuclear power? At this moment, the U.S. has no credible way to threaten Russia. So unless McCain is willing to get the U.S. in the middle of every armed conflict on earth -- giving new definition to his promise of "more wars" -- a McCain Presidency would mean that we're at least going to enter a new age of foreign policy brinkmanship that will demand a military sufficient to fight these battles. That means either getting out of Iraq or reinstating a draft, because the military today is incapable of matching McCain's rhetoric...

Cindy McCain Mother Teresa Story Fabricated
Christian Science Monitor
The McCain campaign had also put out the story that Mother Teresa “convinced” Cindy to bring home two orphans from Bangladesh in 1991.
Mrs. McCain, it turns out, never met Mother Teresa on that trip.(Once contacted by the Monitor, the campaign revised the story on its website.)...
