Obama has a lot of experience living in different countries, and I consider Hawaii somewhat different than living in the continental U.S.

But he has a long way to go to beat Hillary because she has been in the W.H.

Kennich would make a good president, but he would also make a good vice president.  The sad part of politics is that usually taller men or good looking men make it.

Joe Biden would make a good president or vice also.

In fact the Democrats are so far ahead of what the Republicians have is if they win heaven help this country.

I watched the Democratic Debates from Thursday and the only person that made any sense was Kucinich.  I watched all the Senators, one by one, rant about how they will make changes ONCE they are in office.  What!  There stood some of the most powerful people in the country and they told us that we have to wait another 16 months and live under the fascist Bush/Cheney administration.  Kucinich is the only politician on the Democratic side that has stood up to this criminal administration.

Clinton and Obama supported the president, the war and the patriot act - they can never ever be trusted.

Which is worse? The failed moron president or the senators that support him?

Vote Kucinich

Obama is an excellent player and it is indeed a great speech. He put’s out very generally what he stands for and it sounds very good. The best segment is his statement that he will remove our forces from Iraq in 16 months. He is a very inspirational speaker. What is lacking of course are specifics and a real track record. He’s no Kucinich.

What is his plan for Healthcare?
What is his approach to energy?
What is his specific plan for dealing with a failing economy?

Maybe the answers will be forthcoming in the months ahead.

The real story in this “debate” is that Obama,Clinton,and Edwards got a chance to express themselves and the winner of the Iowa and national Democracy for America poll was not allowed to attend.The largest national internet poll (150,000 voters) overwhelmingly chose Dennis Kucinich as their number one choice for president.Why is this significant? It shows what could happen if we had truly open elections instead of elections controlled by special interests.Do people realize how much money it takes to have campaign offices, staff, and huge advertising budgets in every single state including Iowa? Do people realize that the candidates leading in media polls are beholden to the special interests who are financing them? If you think this is grossly unfair and undermines our democracy please send some support to Dennis Kucinich and help level the playing field. Then work for campaign finance reform and changes in debate rules. Wake up America!

Senator Obama did what any good speaker does, he built his speech steadily, first laying a solid foundation, and ultimately despite the lateness of the hour he clearly held the majority of the audience spellbound. So, too, his campaign is still really in the early phase, with the first caucus still nearly two month off.  One senses the same dynamic in play, albeit at different points of development in states he has not yet focused on; his message and his obvious integrity are exciting more and more of us with each passing day.

If Obama was running for Pope he would be perfect.We are not going to come together and roast marshmallows and sing Kombaya.As progressives we are looking to destroy the fascist elite that has taken control of our government.It is going to take a fighter not a preacher.If we are to take back our government it is not going to be Barak Obama who is going to lead the charge.To everything he has said so far he does not even understand the problem.The one candidate who I think gets it is John Edwards.He is far from perfect but he understands the nature of the problem and that is a start.

I met Mike Gravel at the Take Back America conference. We ate lunch together. I loved his speech at the democratic winter meeting last year.  I had gone to the jan 27th Wash DC anti-war rally in DC. I had made a sign before i went.

The psychology of Politics
THOSE WHO ASK “WHO + WHAT” = USE OR ABUSE POWER = MANY REPUBLICANS SOME DEMOCRATS = NON INCLUSIVE

THOSE WHO ASK “WHEN + WHERE” = WILL ACT / ACTION = SOME REPUBLICANS + DEMOCRATS = PARTIALLY INCLUSIVE

THOSE WHO ASK “WHY + HOW” = SHOWS EMPATHY = MANY DEMOCRATS SOME REPUBLICANS = INCLUSIVE

GEORGE “CUSTER” BUSH = “ABUSES POWER” + ” ACTION” = “CUSTERS LAST SURGE”,SPEAKS EMPATHY IN WORDS NOT ACTIONS

HILLARY CLINTON = USES ACTION + EMPATHY / REASONING = LACKS SOME UNDERSTANDING OF POWER RESPECT

BARACK OBAMA = POWER + ACTION + EMPATHY/REASONING = HAS ALL THREE IN EQUAL AMOUNTS = SAFE USA FUTURE

WE TEST DOCTORS, TEACHERS, PROFESSIONALS AND MOST CITIZENS FOR BASIC EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGICALLY!

WHY NOT TEST POLITICIANS FOR ALL THREE ATTRIBUTES = RESPECT OF POWER, ABILITY FOR ACTION, EMPATHY TO OTHERS, BEFORE THEY CAN RUN FOR OFFICE, SO THEY CAN LEAD USA SUCCESSFULLY

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ASK WHO,WHAT,WHEN,WHERE = LACKS MIRROR NEURONS TO ASK HOW + WHY = NON FUNCTIONAL

Then the woman i am a caregiver too who is 84 yrs old told me about her feelings. She really liked Barack. So when Feb 11th came and the site went up i joined. I was leary and stayed leary until i realized i was being lead to this man.

He knows the truth and trys to alert the people to it. He knew ahead of time about the trouble in Pakistan that Bush and his buddy Musharif wanted to let osama bin laden let A. Q. Khan release some nuclear waste for a dirty bomb. Then in august Bush had to agree with Obama about pakistan. Now Bush has another plan with Musharif trying to whreak havoc on his country to cause a disruption and scare americans. Its all a game bush and the clinton regime along with the group Bilderberg has been doing to keep the people of the world in fear while they plan destruction and the muder of 3 billion people off the face of the earth. They want to do that because they know we are at peak oil and they need to reduce the people who use fuel the most.

Please know Barack has to play the game until he gets elected then he will tell the people the truth. Please listen to me.

Do a simple search on bush clinton texas arkansas cocaine and see the truth of how they got their money to both be able to run for president. Now they are there and doing what the group Bilderberg wants and this is also why they are letting the dollar fall and the pay rate fall and the reduction of the american peoples ability to be able to fight back for freedom for all people of the world.

There is so much more but i don’t want to get into it all here.

Oh Kucinich is just a pacifier for those who are angry and Ron paul has many people who are racist and well we do need to work with the people of the world just not with the new world order that clinton bush regime and bilderberg has planned.

In response to “mudwollow’s” comment…

I’m so sorry you live such a sad existence.  Obama is the most intelligent, capable, inspirational and honest candidate that we have.  He si the ONLY candidate that can put an end to partisan gridlock.  You should be so grateful that Obama is taking you along for the ride down the road to what this country so desperately needs… REAL change we can believe in!

OBAMA 2008!

No disrespect intended, anyone who says that Obama will “follow in the same footsteps as George W. Bush” has not been paying attention.

Obama sounds good!

He’s saying good things - however, he has no track record either in the Illinois or the US Senate to support his opinions. What has the man done for his state or his country?

Oh, I know that he was against the invasion of Iraq but his opinion was worth no more than mine or anyone else’s - he didn’t hold an office to make his vote count. He “would’ve voted for this or that” if only he showed up in the US Senate once in a while to vote.

Who knows, maybe his rhetoric is what we need, but it would be nice to see some action to support it! Or some serious plan instead of rhetoric.

in the end obama and edwards will have to line up against the neocons and call them out by name…this bs line about no torture will not do…mukasey also thinks torture isnt legal and georgie the bastard bush also says we dont torture people….the real question is what do they use to interrogate..is waterboarding torture or not?

the era of talking in subtle bullsheet disguised language is over and done with.

stand back and watch…
with ron paul there is no gray line.

It is a conflicting humorous and sad situation that confronts the intelligent American. While at the same time that the evils use the black face as a marketing tool on “as seen on TV” they are destroying the Blacks and Hispanics quality of life and living standards. The Republicans (Aka Conservative right wingers) are also working on the Whites quality of life and living standards, but be patient they have just started to work on it. I don’t know much about Bama, but the cunning right want him to win the farcical nomination because they would have less voting machines to rig than if Clinton would win the farcical nomination. When the oppressed get in the position of oppressing, they will do it gleefully. How could people like Powell and Rice be in bed with the extreme right is beyond my comprehension. The extreme right since Nixon is slowly destroying the country of Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson and is setting up a Plutocracy. Pluto – wealthy cracy – to govern

Can a single soul lead the soul-less? Rev King tried and was silenced. Will Americans protect their claim on democracy or watch from the sidelines?

“That’s why not answering questions because we don’t think the answers will be popular just won’t do.”
