I will read the Obamaisms like I do the Bushisms, but so far he can put 2 sentences together whether I like the content or not.

So you think history is going to be kind to W?
"Axis of Evil, Evil doers." His speech writers read to many comic books.
Is Obama going to be better? I doubt it, but if he gets elected it will be because of the bs the last 8 years.

All the more reason for them, who's lives were lived with bravery, sacrifice and torment, to be celebrated for the heros they are. Every death as a result of this war on terror is one death too many. These men and women who are on the front lines fighting and dying, and even the ones that have survived the battlefield and have made it home, deserve our respect and support. They need our help here at home, not our sympathy. We should be letting them know that we acknowlege their part in a monumental fight against people who dispise our way of life, not criticizing their work that they so selflessly committed themselves to.

What do you tell the family members of the people who jumped to their deaths from hundreds of feet above the streets of down town Manhattan, on national television, to escape being burned alive as a result of terrorist? What about the family members of the people we didn't see on camera who's lives ended in sheer fear and terror? These people didn't have any weapons to protect themselves. They didn't know that they were in a battlefield situation. They had no idea why people from a region thousands of miles away would want to kill them.

If I were a value to the fight I would fight. To this point I've been more valuable here at home. The men and women are highly trained and far more capable of carring out the duties necessary to succeed in their mission. We here at home who support the efforts against terrorist are as entitled to our opinions as the people here at home who oppose anything related to George W. Bush.

You can tell, and even convince the families of soldiers taken in this fight against terrorists that their loved ones died in vain. You cannot convince me though. I believe in the work they are doing. I can't imagine an outcome other than success.

i dont personally have a problem believing that bush does do a little blow in his spare time. hell hes been busted for it before, not to mention multiple DWIs, including one during his campaigning process. I think hes a scumbag, but I cant blame him for everything. Hes not smart enough.

Believe it or not, Bush was more qualified to be president before his first term than Obama is now. How's that for change.

Finally, we have an intellectual engaged in the conversation.

dont get me wrong guys, Im not saying obama would be a better president. i dont play the "this party or that party" game. seems like a lot of people disagree on issues just because of what party is being represented, which is just sad. Thats how the party system gets people into trouble.

I agree. Whatever happened to "government for the people, by the people." It's all by the party, or lobbyists. The people have been forgotton by both parties IMO.

Degrees from Harvard and Yale... I'd shy away from the "smart enough" comments. Not agreeing with someone personally and politically doesn't make them stupid or unintelligent.

not to be taken the wrong way, but he passed with C's, and the Bush family does have a history of buying people off. But like I said, dont take me the wrong way. I honestly wouldnt expect any different of the clintons. Theyre pretty shabby themselves. hell I dunno. Just seems like if someone really wanted to make a difference, they wouldnt run as president. Its a limited power office unless you're expecting a war to break out.

Money can get you into an Ivy League school and money can get you a degree as well. Don't think it can't! I know a situation that a young lady got into an Ivy League school because she had a letter of recommendation from a past President of the U.S. and Daddy is a wealthy lawyer.

You do know about his wife's little car accident? Oh yes she ran a Red light and killed someone.

John Kerry and ALGORE passed with C's too... I don't agree with them and they make rediculous statements, but neither are stupid. I'd be willing to guess the Liberal institutions of Harvard and Yale aren't known for pandering to a Republican Senator's son.

I don't disagree... money can get you in. Money can make you pass a class or too maybe. Money will not get a Republican's son degrees from Harvard and Yale.
