WASHINGTON – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office.

Obama's assertion that "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond" the expense of his promises is accepted only by his partisans. His vow to save money by "eliminating programs that don't work" masks his failure throughout the campaign to specify what those programs are — beyond the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

A sampling of what voters heard in the ad, and what he didn't tell them:

THE SPIN: "That's why my health care plan includes improving information technology, requires coverage for preventive care and pre-existing conditions and lowers health care costs for the typical family by $2,500 a year."

THE FACTS: His plan does not lower premiums by $2,500, or any set amount. Obama hopes that by spending $50 billion over five years on electronic medical records and by improving access to proven disease management programs, among other steps, consumers will end up saving money. He uses an optimistic analysis to suggest cost reductions in national health care spending could amount to the equivalent of $2,500 for a family of four. Many economists are skeptical those savings can be achieved, but even if they are, it's not a certainty that every dollar would be passed on to consumers in the form of lower premiums.

___

THE SPIN: "I also believe every American has a right to affordable health care."

THE FACTS: That belief should not be confused with a guarantee of health coverage for all. He makes no such promise. Obama hinted as much in the ad when he said about the problem of the uninsured: "I want to start doing something about it." He would mandate coverage for children but not adults. His program is aimed at making insurance more affordable by offering the choice of government-subsidized coverage similar to that in a plan for federal employees and other steps, including requiring larger employers to share costs of insuring workers.

___

THE SPIN: "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond their cost."

THE FACTS: Independent analysts say both Obama and Republican John McCain would deepen the deficit. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates Obama's policy proposals would add a net $428 billion to the deficit over four years — and that analysis accepts the savings he claims from spending cuts. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, whose other findings have been quoted approvingly by the Obama campaign, says: "Both John McCain and Barack Obama have proposed tax plans that would substantially increase the national debt over the next 10 years." The analysis goes on to say: "Neither candidate's plan would significantly increase economic growth unless offset by spending cuts or tax increases that the campaigns have not specified."

___

THE SPIN: "Here's what I'll do. Cut taxes for every working family making less than $200,000 a year. Give businesses a tax credit for every new employee that they hire right here in the U.S. over the next two years and eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Help homeowners who are making a good faith effort to pay their mortgages, by freezing foreclosures for 90 days. And just like after 9-11, we'll provide low-cost loans to help small businesses pay their workers and keep their doors open. "

THE FACTS: His proposals — the tax cuts, the low-cost loans, the $15 billion a year he promises for alternative energy, and more — cost money, and the country could be facing a record $1 trillion deficit next year. Indeed, Obama recently acknowledged — although not in his commercial — that: "The next president will have to scale back his agenda and some of his proposals."

 

1961-1966

 

 

Barack Obama Jr. is allegedly born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961, [1] to Stanley Ann Dunham (1942-1995). [1,289] Ann Dunham (who understandably had dropped the “Stanley”) married Obama’s father, Barack Obama Sr. (1936-1982), on February 2, 1961. Obama, Sr., an African Muslim by birth, but an atheist by admission, [324] already had two children with a woman in Kenya named Kezia (1938 -    ). [289] It is likely, however, that Obama, Sr. was not legally married to Kezia (their marriage was only a tribal marriage), making his marriage to Dunham (if there was a marriage) legal. [3,7,289,299] (Obama and Kezia eventually re-unite after he separates from Ann Dunham, and Kezia bears two more of his children.)

If Obama, Jr. was born in Hawaii, he was both an American and a Kenyan citizen because his father was a Kenyan. If he was born in Hawaii, Obama’s Kenyan citizenship expired when he turned age 21. [219] If Obama later became a citizen of Indonesia by virtue of being adopted by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro, Obama lost his Kenyan citizenship at the point of adoption. [258]

 

 

  Although the divorce of Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham in 1964 [6] suggests they had been married on Thursday, February 2, 1961 [6,324], there are no disclosed records or witnesses to indicate a marriage [4,10], and Michelle Obama states in an interview that Ann Dunham was “very young and very single when she had him (Barack).” [8,352] In any event, Dunham was unmarried, and likely under age 18, when she became pregnant.

 

 

  Dunham is an atheist [2,324], an “Adlai Stevenson liberal,” a secular humanist, [9] leftist social-activist, [10] and a student of cultural anthropology. Ann Dunham meets Barack Obama Sr. while both are studying Russian at the University of Hawaii. [4,5] Dunham is an excellent debater at school, and excels at defending the concepts of Karl Marx’ “The Communist Manifesto.” [324]

 

 

  In 1962 or 1963, Obama’s parents separate; his father leaves Hawaii (probably in 1963) to attend Harvard and then returns to Kenya, with a woman named Ruth Nidesand, who he met at Harvard. Obama, Sr. marries Nidesand in Kenya in 1967; they are eventually divorced. Obama, Sr. eventually has at least eight other children with four women (two of those additional children are borne by his former wife Kezia, while he is still married to Nidesand.)  Obama, Sr. does not see his son Barack Jr. again until 1971, when he visits Hawaii for one month; he is eventually killed in 1982, at age 46, in an automobile accident. (A year earlier, Obama, Sr. had been in an automobile accident and had to have his legs amputated. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in both accidents.) [6,7,11,271,324]

 

 

  The 1961 birth certificate posted on the Internet by the Obama campaign is suspected of being a forgery, based on a modified copy of his half-sister Maya’s birth certificate. [12] If Obama does have a legitimate Hawaiian birth certificate, it possibly does not list a father if Dunham and Obama, Sr. were not married. (At that time, the custom was to omit the father’s name when the father and mother were not married). By July, 2008, it appeared that the forgery may have been perpetrated for the “Daily Kos” web site, by a Jay McKinnon, who describes himself as a “Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist.” [325]

 

 

  The Internet site “FactCheck.org” states that the birth certificate provided by the Obama campaign is legitimate, but it should be noted that FactCheck.org is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation, which also funded the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, where Obama and William Ayers distributed tens of millions of dollars to leftist organizations. [302] It should also be noted that most, if not all, of the people who have declared the birth certificate to be either authentic or a fake have seen only photocopies or scanned images, and not an original paper document.

 

 

  There has been speculation that Obama was born in Kenya [197,199,199,248] and brought to Hawaii as an infant, because the airlines would (in 1961) not have allowed a pregnant Dunham to fly. [248] (Relatives of Obama in Kenya, who likely are unaware of the eligibility requirements of the U.S. Presidency, state that he was born in Kenya.) The Kenya birth speculation is incorrect if Dunham met Obama Sr. while both were students at the University of Hawaii and if they did not also travel to Kenya in 1961.

 

 

  Although Obama’s campaign has given the names of two different Hawaiian hospitals where he was supposed to have been born (Kapiolani Women’s Center and Queens Medical Center, both in Honolulu), that may be due to campaign staff ignorance or incompetence, and not deceit. Still, no one has been able to confirm the birth from either hospital’s records. There is apparently a register of the birth in the public records office, dated August 8, 1961, one week after the birth, but it supposedly does not list a place of birth. (Note that a register of birth is not the same as a birth certificate.) [248]

 

 

  A writer for “Online Journal” publishes an article on June 9, 2008 claiming that a research team went to Mombasa, Kenya, and located a certificate of the Kenyan birth of Barack Obama, Jr. It is unclear why that story, if it is true, did not get “traction.” There is also speculation that certified copies of a Kenyan birth certificate, with embossed raised seals and with birth witness signatures, are now in the hands of three individuals; the documents allegedly state that Obama was born at 7:24 p.m., on August 4, 1961, at Coast Provincial General Hospital, in Mombasa, Kenya. [248,299,301]

 

 

  There have been claims that Obama’s paternal grandmother (his father’s mother), Sarah Hussein Obama (or Sarah Onyango Obama) (1922 -    ), [289] told reporters that Barack Obama Jr. was born in Kenya, when her son came to visit, accompanied by a pregnant Ann Dunham - who was very close to her delivery date. Sarah Hussein Obama further states that she was present in the delivery room when Obama was born in Kenya. [299] One half-brother and one half-sister of candidate Obama also claim he was born in Kenya. [248] This would be consistent with a reported stop by Dunham in the state of Washington on the return trip to Hawaii, and with the possible existence of only a Hawaiian “register of birth,” rather than an actual birth certificate. The Chicago Tribune was told by Dunham friend Susan Blake that Dunham visited her in Seattle shortly after Obama’s birth. [324]

 

 

  Note that Hawaiian law allows the State of Hawaii to issue a certificate of live birth even if the child is born outside the State, provided the parents have been legal residents of Hawaii for at least one year immediately preceding the birth. Such a certificate does, however, require that the place of birth be correctly recorded. Thus, had Obama been born in Kenya and shortly thereafter brought to Hawaii, Dunham could have had a Hawaiian birth certificate prepared, but that document would have been in addition to the birth certificate issued in Kenya. Such a Hawaiian certificate, if issued, does not make the child a United States citizen; it is merely a birth-recording convenience offered by the State. If the place of birth on a Hawaiian birth certificate is later altered, the certificate could nevertheless appear legitimate in terms of format, style, and numbering. [301]

 

 

  Note that states typically have a “long form” (certificate of live birth) and a “short form” (certification of birth) for their birth documents. The long form, or vault copy, contains the more detailed information, such as the hospital name, names of parents, date, time, infant’s weight and length, footprint, doctor name, and certified signature of the doctor. In 1961, the document would obviously have been typed on a typewriter. The short form contains more limited information, and is the less desirable of the two forms when absolute proof is desired. When someone requests a copy of a birth certificate from a state (or county), the document provided is typically the short form, computer-printed at the time of the request and based on information on computer databases; the vault copy is not retrieved and examined. The short form is then usually stamped or embossed with an official seal. The document provided by the Obama campaign, whether valid or forged, is the short form.

 

 

  Only a few sources have been listed here for the many Obama birth speculations; there are far too many, and rumors and stories can readily be found on the Internet. Speculation will not end until original birth and citizenship documents are released, and the likelihood of that may be minimal. A lawsuit has been filed [13] by attorney Philip Berg (a Democrat and a Clinton supporter) to block Obama from running for and becoming President without first proving he is an eligible U.S. citizen; it alleges he was born in Kenya. Whether that lawsuit leads to anything remains to be seen, but if the truth damages Obama, there will certainly be continued efforts by many to keep that truth successfully hidden.

 

 

  If Obama was born in Hawaii, the more damaging issue may be whether he became and is still an Indonesian citizen. [258,305]

 

 

  In 1965, Obama’s father writes in the “East Africa Journal” an article called, “Problems Facing Our Socialism,” in which he criticizes Kenya for not being socialist enough. He writes, “Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100 per cent of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed." [271] Obama the Presidential candidate has so far suggested an income tax rate of “only” 39.6 per cent (not counting Social Security and Medicare taxes, and state income taxes). [271]

 

 

  Obama, in his second book, “The Audacity of Hope,” clearly states that, like his father, he is also no great fan of the American system of free enterprise capitalism; he describes capitalism as “chaotic and unforgiving,” and has a desire to roll back the “ownership society.” [271]

CHICAGO - The only "agent of change" Princess ever supported was the person who freshened the water in her fishbowl. So election officials in Chicago's northern suburbs want to know why voter registration material was sent to the dead goldfish.

"I am just stunned at the level of people compromising the integrity of the voting process," said Lake County Clerk Willard Helander, a Republican, who said she has spotted problems with nearly 1,000 voter registrations this year.

Beth Nudelman, who owned the fish, said Princess may have landed on a mailing list because the family once filled in the pet's name when they got a second phone line for a computer.

Story continues below ?

"There was no fraud involved," said Nudelman, a Democrat who supports Barack Obama. "This person is a dead fish."

The paperwork sent to a "Princess Nudelman" likely came from the "Women's Voices, Women Vote" project, which sent nearly 1 million mailings to Illinois households in August using a list that mistakenly included some pets, said Sarah Johnson, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit group that encourages single women to vote.

The mailing list, purchased from a vendor, included names from warranties, magazine subscriptions and other sources, Johnson said. The group attempted to screen out obvious pet names.

"Fido's not going to be left on there, but if a cat is named is Polly, she may be," Johnson said. Princess could be a person's name, she insisted. "I went to high school with two Princesses."

Fish is ineligible
Nudelman said the only address on the registration card was the Lake County clerk's office. She said she wrote election officials a humorous note explaining why the fish was ineligible to vote.

The Illinois mailing generated 63,500 returned voter applications, Johnson said. Applicants were instructed to fill in a driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number so election officials would be able to validate their identity.

"We obviously don't want to add more work for any election official," Johnson said. "At the end of the day, our goal is same as theirs: To give as many people as possible the chance to make voices heard in our democracy."

As if  A.I.G.'s $400,000 vacation was not a big enough slap in the face, after giving that corp. an 85,000,000 to keep them in business. Now they want another 37,000,000 (to leave a tip ? ) At one point everyone needs a helping hand, some more then others. But I do not see the government giving my neighbor any fund to keep their business from going under in a bad economy. Oh wait I think I just hit a good topic, maybe that is not happening because my neighbor is actually seeing a slow business margin due to the economy issues, instead of them going to get a 23,000 dollar spa treatment at the expense of their customer base.

Just like the average business owner whom may suffer tremendiously because of a slow economy. They have to make a choice on placing a second mortgage on their home or pushing their own life savings into their business to keep it open, or they choose to shut it down and lick their wounds. They are not offered an endless cash flow with a below average interest rate to help keep them accustom to their life style. So why are we as a nation padding millionaire CEO's retirement funds, stock options and bonus accounts with our hard earned tax dollars while they reap the lap of luxery for not running their Corp. properly. Its not only wrong but should be criminal !!!

I read the article below and do believe it ask the ultimate question. Who is Obama ? As I have said before I do not care for either candidate, but this voter will have to admit. At least McCain is known !!! Obama has side stepped questions from the first day he campaigned and still has not changed. He distracts people when asked a question by turning to the current President and situations or his republican counterpart McCain. Why is it him nor his campaign advisers can give a straight answer !

 

Republicans have for months criticized Obama’s relationship with his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright; convicted Chicago businessman and contributor Antoin “Tony” Rezko; and William Ayers, a 1960s-era radical and a founder of the Weather Underground group blamed for several Vietnam War-era bombings. Some of the criticism has come from McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

McCain hasn’t stepped there yet.

“Who is the real Sen. Obama?” he asked Monday. “Is he the candidate who promises to cut middle class taxes, or the politician who voted to raise middle class taxes? ... Is he the candidate who promises change, or is he the politician who has bought into everything that is wrong with Washington? And he’s bought into it, big time.”

McCain drew loud cheers when he said the Democrat has written two memoirs but “he’s not exactly an open book.”

McCain also raised the specter of illegal foreign donors to Obama’s campaign and special “earmark” spending requests for campaign fundraisers. “Why has Sen. Obama refused to disclose the names of people funding his campaign,” McCain said as the crowd booed.

Obama, McCain said, sidesteps questions and instead criticizes anyone who challenges him.

“Whatever the question, whatever the issue, there’s always a back story with Sen. Obama. All people want to know is: What has this man ever actually accomplished in government? What does he plan for America?” McCain said. “But ask such questions and all you get in response is another angry barrage insults.”

As I read in a blog earlier today so I did some research, it would appear the dems have been in control of the congress more then the republicans. It would also appear that everytime a Democrat says if they are elected they will reduce your taxes. Yet everytime one gets elected our taxes actually go up

Obama: Healthcare for Illegals
Monday, July 21, 2008 9:06 PM

By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann Article Font Size  

 

Democrats' single most important domestic proposal — universal health insurance — may blow up in Barack Obama's face when voters are exposed to the deadly details.

 

Obama has said, proudly and often, "I am going to give health insurance to 47 million Americans who are now without coverage." But are they "Americans?"

 

That 47 million statistic includes illegal immigrants, who virtually all lack insurance. In fact, about one in four of those lacking insurance is here illegally. And they are, by far, the group most in need of health insurance.

 

 

About 15 million of the remaining uninsured are eligible for Medicaid but haven't signed up, mainly because they haven't gotten sick. When they do, they enroll in Medicaid and we pick up the full tab for their health care relatively cheaply. (About 80 percent of each Medicaid dollar goes to nursing-home care for the elderly, only about 20 percent for the medical needs of the poor.)

 

The rest of the uninsured pool? Virtually all the children are eligible for the State Children's Health Insurance Program. Some aren't enrolled because the parents haven't bothered, but most are eligible. That leaves about 20 million uninsured adults who are US citizens or legal immigrants. There are far better ways to handle their needs than to turn our entire health-care system upside down.

 

Care for illegals is the biggest unmet medical need in our nation, and Obama's program targets it squarely. But do we really want to give them federally paid coverage equal to what US senators get, as Obama proposes?

 

Covering illegals adds dramatically to the cost of any program - and would encourage more folks to enter America illicitly.

 

Obama's plan will likely have a horrific effect on some local health-care systems.

 

Illegals now get free emergency-room treatment for life-threatening conditions, as any other American who's entered an ER in an area with lots of illegals recently well knows. (Three-quarters of the illegal-immigrant population is concentrated in five states: California, New York, Florida, Texas and Illinois.)

 

But now they'd be eligible for the entire range of medical services, all free of charge. That would trigger severe rationing: bureaucrats deciding who gets to see an oncologist, who can have an MRI - and even who can have bypass surgery and who'd die for lack of it.

 

These decisions would be made not on the basis of legal status but on the brutal facts of triage: Treat the 37-year-old illegal with his whole life to live before you spend scarce resources on an overweight, diabetic, 80-year-old citizen with high blood pressure who smokes.

 

John McCain hasn't raised this issue, perhaps for fear of offending the Latino vote. But polling suggests the case against rationing of health care would be as persuasive to Hispanic-American citizens as it is to the rest of us. Nobody wants to die waiting in line - especially not behind someone who snuck in ahead of us.

 

McCain needs to hit the Obama plan for treating illegal immigrants to free, federally subsidized health insurance — and hit it hard.

McCain Slaps Obama: He's Acting Like He's Already President
Thursday, July 24, 2008 4:44 PM

Article Font Size  

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Republican John McCain said on Thursday he would like to give a speech in Germany as U.S. president not as a White House candidate, taking a swipe at rival Barack Obama while the Democrat gave a major address in Berlin.

 

"I'd love to give a speech in Germany ... a political speech or a speech that maybe the German people would be interested in, but I'd much prefer to do it as president of the United States rather than as a candidate ... for the office of presidency," McCain told reporters in Ohio.

 

Standing in front of a store in a neighbourhood known as German Village, McCain -- for whom foreign policy is considered a strength -- said he would focus on issues at home while his opponent travelled abroad.

 

"We're going to be campaigning across the heartland of America and talking about the issues that are challenging America today," he said.

 

Obama drew a crowd estimated by one local official at 200,000 in Berlin's Tiergarten Park, where he urged Europe to stand by the United States in bringing stability to Afghanistan and confronting other threats from climate change to nuclear proliferation.

 

Republicans have scoffed at Obama's high profile speech, which German media has compared to President John Kennedy's famous 1963 "Ich bin ein Berliner" address.

 

"Ich bin ein Hypocrite," the Republican party chided in a statement, criticizing Obama for what it called a lack of leadership on Afghanistan in a congressional committee he chairs. "Ich bin" means "I am" in German.

 

McCain, who had a bratwurst for lunch, said he already knew many of the European leaders with whom Obama was scheduled to hold talks on a trip designed to bolster the Illinois senator's foreign policy credentials.

 

"I have very good relations with Europe, many of the European leaders," McCain said, noting he had met several times with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and had visited with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

 

"I know them well. It's not my first meeting with them or with the leaders in Israel and the Palestinians," he said.

 

"I'm very happy that a lot of these new leaders in Europe, particularly in France and Germany, are much more pro-American than their predecessors were," he said, adding they had "common cause" in trying to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

 

The Arizona senator also confirmed he would meet with the Dalai Lama in Aspen, Colorado, on Friday and he called the exiled Tibetan leader a "transcendent" international role model.

 

"I have admired him and respected him for the efforts he's made for on behalf of freedom of the people of Tibet but also all over the world," McCain said.

1. Rev. Wright Seeks Revenge for Obama’s ‘Betrayal’

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright wouldn’t mind seeing Barack Obama’s presidential campaign derailed — that's how angry he is over his former parishioner’s “betrayal” of their long relationship, the New York Post reports.

“After 20 years of loving Barack like he was a member of his own family, for Jeremiah to see Barack saying over and over that he didn’t know about Jeremiah’s views during those years, that he wasn’t familiar with what Jeremiah had said, that he may have missed church on this day or that and didn’t hear what Jeremiah said, this is seen by Jeremiah as nonsense and betrayal,” a source with ties to Wright told the Post’s Fredric Dicker.

“Jeremiah is trying to defend his congregation and the work of his ministry by saying what he is saying” and “doesn’t care if he derails Obama’s candidacy or not.”

Obama’s relationship with Wright has been under fire ever since videos were made public earlier this year in which Wright claimed that the United States brought 9/11 on itself and people should say “God damn America” instead of “God bless America.”

Obama has recently sought to distance himself from Wright, calling his remarks “divisive and destructive” on April 29 — which angered the minister. But according to the source, Wright first became disillusioned with Obama last year when Obama unexpectedly barred him from participation in the public announcement of his presidential campaign.

After Obama was “embraced by this congregation as a brother in Christ, after his pastor was a father figure to him and gave him credibility in a city he had not grown up in, and in a black community that was suspect of someone from Hawaii and Harvard, he thanks him by not allowing him to speak publicly at his announcement last year?” the source told Dicker.

“Rev. Wright, as well as other senior members of his church, believe Obama has betrayed over 20 years of their supposed friendship.”

 

For everyone that thinks your OBAMA is the right choice

Below you will find where supposibly Reverand Moss is taking over for Reverand Wright. I ask that while you read this, read between the lines. Someone has to drop out of the race by June 3rd.

    Reverand Moss is due to take over the first of June. HUMMMMMMMMMM

I will beat anyone a weeks salary that if Obama wins the nomination that Reverand Wright will still be the head of Trinity .

Barack Obama has finally distanced himself from Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his incendiary remarks, but he has no plans to leave Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ.

After Obama called Wright’s comments “divisive and destructive” during a press conference this past week, a questioner noted that the new Trinity pastor, Rev. Otis Moss, had defended Wright and asked if Obama would continue attending the church.

“Well, the new pastor, the young pastor, Reverend Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor,” Obama responded, according to CQ Transcripts Wire.

“And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community. I'll be honest. This obviously has put strains on that relationship, not because of the members or because of Reverend Moss but because this has become such a spectacle.

“And when I go to church, it's not for spectacle. It's to pray and to find a stronger sense of faith. It's not to posture politically. It's not to hear things that violate my core beliefs. And I certainly don't want to provide a distraction for those who are worshipping at Trinity.

“So as of this point, I'm a member of Trinity. I haven't had a discussion with Reverend Moss about it, so I can't tell you how he's reacting and how he's responding.”

Moss, the 37-year-old “hip-hop pastor” as he’s called by congregants, will become the head of Trinity in June. A Yale Divinity School graduate, he has been an assistant pastor at the church for two years.

In his Easter sermon at Trinity, he recited lyrics from Tupac Shakur’s “Thugz Mansion,” and called the late rapper “neither a saint nor demon, but all human.”

He also said rappers shouldn’t be overlooked because of a “proclivity for ghetto-istic conduct.”

       McCain has got the Republican Nomination with out question. Now it looks like there will be a race for the Democrat Nomination. And now to rub anybody the wrong way, but honestly. One of these 2 nominee's are the only one that will even have a remote chance of being in the Oval Office.

        On with my prediction, (McCain vs Clinton) or (McCain vs Obama) I honestly think as the Democratic race winds down to the end, the powers that be will make it to where Clinton barely beats Obama for the Nomination. As good as Obama makes it sound, lets face it he does not have the resume to back it up, which makes him unpredictiable and a liability. So their only controlling option is to insure that Clinton gets the nominee.

            (As for those that think Obama can part the red sea, if you own a multi million dollar company and your company's future depends on who you put at the helm. You are not about to hire me to run it when you have someone else that has applied that has a renoun history of making the right choices or the capabilities to fix the bad choices and it is a proven track record)

           So you have (McCain vs Clinton) I predict that McCain would be victorious

           (McCain vs Obama) McCain is victorious, because as Obama said the words coming out of his mouth are just words. (my definition: empty promises as in past elections)

            (McCain vs Obama) Obama is victourious: before his term is up the USA is faced with one of the worst riots seen in years history and followed by a civil war between its own people

(These are just my opinions and prediction in which I hope none of them come true)

       

The Law is the Law So Be It! So if the US government determines that it is against the ! law for the words 'under God' to be on our money, then, so be it. And if that same government decides that the 'Ten Commandments' are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it. I say, 'so be it,' because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen. I say, 'so be it,' because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think that those people have the American public's best interests at heart. BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE? Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life. I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day. I'd like the ' US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays.' After all, it's just another day. I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the 'Christmas Break.' After all it's just another day. I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be < B>just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be 'politically correct.' In fact.... I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day.... What do you all think???? If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the 'minority opinions' and begin, once again, to repr esent the 'majority' of ALL of the American people. SO BE IT........... Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our country! 'Amen' and 'Amen' Touche! These are definitely things I never thought about but from now on, I will be sure to question those in government who support these changes. 'I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over!!!!!' Let's see that it does.
