As someone who didn't want McCain and thinks the Bush Administration has done an awful job:

I DON'T GET IT.

Has Obama ever made a *decision* for, say, a multi-million dollar business deal?

Has Obama ever *planned* any kind of organization or venture, say, even a few million dollars?

What *decisions* has this guy made?

I don't care if it's a Dem or Republican. But, the choices have never been so dismal as to bring such a neophyte onto the stage. The last time we saw this, Jimmy Carter (in my lifetime).

We have a bail-out due to those capable of ***sharking*** the government. Obama will be so wet behind the ears, they're going to have a hayday with this guy.

YOU HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO THINK A SINGLE GUY IN THE OVAL OFFICE, EVEN WITH HIS CABINET, IS GOING TO CHANGE DC.

We're voting for our demise. or, is some angery fit over Bush, throwing power from the frying pan into the fire.

Running out of money.
Abandoning Michigan, and falling behind in PA, OH, VA, and FL.
Not discussing issues.
Defamatory attacks on his opponent.
And, down and declining in the polls.

It begins with voters who made democRats a majority in congress. They are clearly responsible for the price increases you pay at the pump, at the grocery store, for utilities, etc.
For the most part the democRat Party demanded relaxed qualifications for home loans, etc. They assumed homes would hold their value and if a default occurred the home could simply be resold, etc. Of course they forgot to consider any,“what ifs.”
Relaxing home loan qualifications for people with low income is all well and fine, people need help. However, if congress wants to place lenders in that position then congress should help guarantee an economy that would be strong enough for the loans to be paid.
That could have been the case but the stick in the mud democRat Party placed the ideology of their Global Warming Marxist contributors ahead of the American Family. What many call a hoax allowed a 30 years in the making energy crisis to suddenly erupt and to be left unchecked by those sitting high above the fray.
In the two years democRats have controlled congress gasoline has risen over $2.00 per gallon. The results have been many people unable to pay the additional $4,000 to $7,000 plus per year cost increase for food, gasoline, utilities, goods, services, etc.
High energy costs placed families barely squeaking by in the nightmarish position of deciding between eating, driving or paying mortgages. And, airlines, auto makers, etc. were in the same position headed for bankruptcy.
Solutions suggested by the democRat Party to ease woes at the pump? Check your tire pressure and get a tune-up, drive less and don't forget drilling takes 10 years; never mind Barack Obama plans to be president for 8 years.
The democRat Party platform? Deny drilling, deny new refineries, deny clean coal, deny exploration, deny leasing, deny nuclear power, deny, deny, deny. Fearing a mass contributor backlash the democRat Party sidestepped common sense and pointed America towards gimmicks and gadgets that are not an answer and won’t be for many, many years.
Today the unchecked energy crisis has assisted in bringing Americans the mortgage and credit crisis and now the Wall Street Bailout. Until voters move stick in the mud democRats such as Obama, Obiden, Reid, Pelosi and Schumer out of the way so the energy crisis can be met head on...Nobody is going anywhere.

Obama voters are not interested in the facts. At least, not more than letting their emotional fits run rabid to the point they'd rather throw power out of the (incomptent Bush Administration's) frying pan and into the fire.
Most voting are doing so out of anger and/or fear. The facts are not an issue.
And, in four years. The cycle will continue when we see more of the same.
The voting populace keeps blaming government WHEN THEY ARE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.

Where exactly does Obama's pal Bill Ayers' ideology come from?

Approved by the All-Russia Central Executive Committee of the Soviets of Workers’, Soldiers’, Peasants’ and Cossacks’ Deputies, April 22, 1918.

I__ a son of the working people and a citizen of the Soviet Republic, assume the title of a soldier of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army.
Before the working class of Russia and of the whole world I pledge myself to bear this title with honor, to study the art of war conscientiously, and to protect, like the apple of my eye, all public and military property from damage and robbery.
I pledge myself to observe revolutionary discipline strictly and unflaggingly, and to obey without question all orders given by commanders appointed by the Workers’ and Peasants’ Government.
I pledge myself to abstain from any action derogatory to the dignity of a citizen of the Soviet Republic, and to restrain my comrades from such action, and to direct all my thoughts and deeds towards the great goal of the emancipation of all the working people.
I pledge myself to respond to the first call from the Workers’ and Peasants’ Government to defend the Soviet Republic against any dangers and attacks from any enemy, and to spare neither my strength nor my life in the fight for the Russian Soviet Republic and for the cause of socialism and the brotherhood of the peoples.
If ever, with evil intent, I should depart from this my solemn promise, may the scorn of all be my lot and may the stern hand of revolutionary law punish me.

A bit of Barack Obama's pal Bill Ayers' political views... In an interview published in 1995, Ayers characterized his political beliefs at that time and in the 1960s and 1970s: "I am a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist ...[Laughs] Maybe I'm the last communist who is willing to admit it.[Laughs] We have always been small 'c' communists in the sense that we were never in the [Communist] party and never Stalinists. The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don't like Lenin as much as the early Marx. I also like Henry David Thoreau, Mother Jones and Jane Addams [...]"[27] In 1970 Ayers was called "a national leader"[28] of the Weatherman organization and "one of the chief theoreticians of the Weathermen".[ 29] The Weathermen were initially part of the Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM) within the SDS, splitting from the RYM's Maoists by claiming there was no time to build a vanguard party and that revolutionary war against the United States government and the capitalist system should begin immediately. Their founding document called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonia l" movements[30] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."[3 1] In June 1974, the Weather Underground released a 151-page volume titled Prairie Fire, which stated: "We are a guerrilla organization [...] We are communist women and men underground in the United States

No matter what you care to think JM..there is little doubt that JM is the safer choice. How much more proof do ppl need that BO will economically and socially destroy our great nation. He has too many terrorist ties and has taken a huge amt of camp funds from the middle east. His ad on TV says he is going to fix the economy..LOL..he said seniors won't be taxed, LOL..i guess he doesn't know they already don't pay taxes once they hit 72. But he is putting the inheritance and death tax back in place so seniors will lose a small business and have to use retirement funds and won't have anything to leave their kids/grandkids. You zombies have no idea what you are doing!!!!

The media is showing what states are won by who..that is not even possible until 11/2...more obvious bias and poor journalism. It is impossible to poll everyone in every state.

Clearly, no American president was ever elected by stupid polls because polls are used as tool by the radical liberals and their pro-Islamic media to pressurize the true patriotic and conservative Americans.
The media is creating a lynching and hostile and all out war atmosphere against Sarah Palin and McCain, which cause people to keep their true decision about their candidate from the brutal aggressive socialistic and anti-American media.
In addition, the Marxist Stalinist Barack Obama is using scare tactics to prevent ads of his opponents and the left wing media including CNN, CBS, and SNL goes immediately to war Putin-style against Sarah Palin and Barack using the ugly and stupid Tina Fey as a vicious Nazi style clown.
Clearly, at anti-American atmosphere that is created by the hostile liberal socialistic media of NBC, the New York Times, and ABC, the American people keep their decisions for themselves, except the African Americans who will vote on racial line.
Obviously, the American people are smarter that telling their candidate choice the hostile pro-Islamic media as they aim at surprising the Muslim rooted, Saudi Arabia secretly financed and the best friend of the terrorists Barack Hussein Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama was already voted unanimously by Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaida, Ahmadinajad, and King Abdullah to lead as US president the 57 country Islamic world against our US troops and for the victory of the barbarian radical Islamic terrorism and its spread all over the world.
Get over it Obama and the terrorists! These polls are worthless, and the elections will prove that the American people despise the foreign educated America hater Islamic Barack Obama who never had any American birth certificate as required to become President of America.
