jp,

I share some of your discomfort with the level of adulation bestowed on Obama, not necessarily form the media, but from some of his supporters. Don't worry, cooler heads will prevail lol.

Your comments are very thoughtful, but I disagree with you on the importance of political experience. Barack has enough political experience to know how things work. As he himself expressed it in his speech here in Kansas City, some suggest he needs to be further "stewed" in the workings of Washington? Why? So he can become more cynical and more corrupt? Don't you think the Washington atmosphere often has that effect on people?

Barack is a brilliant orator and a scholar. He has taught constitutional law (quite a contrast from the current administration) and edited the Harvard Law Review. He had his pick of lucrative jobs but he chose community service. His entire life has been a quest. First a quest to uncover his own identity and to learn about his roots. Now he is on a quest to bring people of different races and ideals together. He does not take this lightly, as evidenced by his "race speech" the other day. Once of the things that struck me about it was his reference to the degree of anger in the black and white communities when you probe below the surface. My husband and I were discussing this morning a political cartoon that showed him in church donating to a collection plate labeled "hate". It is this underlying anger that has led to the level of hatred sometimes exhibitied between the races.

I'm sure I have recommended this to you before, but you shoul

Thanks for the book recommendation. I'm not real interested in his personal background though.

Although we agree on constitutional rights with regard to 4th amendment protections, habeas corpus, and other protections that the current administration routinely ignores, we disagree sharply on matters of fiscal policy. That is as much a problem for me as the civil rights issues above. They're one in the same for me - both issues of freedom.

My main point of this post was to show that the media has chosen Barak as their Rock Star. I actually consider less Washington experience as a plus. My own guy has NONE. I just think his lack of experience proves the media has chosen him.

Yes he's a great orator. That to me is a requirement of being a politican, but I pay more attention to policy that polish.

Anyone remember the story of the "Pied Piper"? Does Obama remind you of that story? Can't people see him for the slick talking imposter he is? I can't believe that people aren't asking more questions of him and turn a deft ear to the truth because things are a little slow with the economy they believe everything that rolls off this guys lips. The media has been asleep when it comes to his background and people should be a little cautious of this candidate and maybe listen with "both" ear!

Great post!Very true!

Rhonda:Al sharpton,Jesse Jackson,Louis Farakahn,Jerimiah Write,Malik Shabaz.....The list goes on.These guys preach hate toward the white man based on injustices almost half a century old.Where are the white leaders that garner the support of celebrities and national politicians that get away with an anti-black message?Obamas "race" speech was honest about the feelings between the communities but he lost me when he said that white people need to be sensitive to the bitterness of the generation that experianced racism.We ARE OVERLY SENSITIVE to the point that we do the black community NO SERVICE by allowing their leaders to tell them that THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THEIR FUTURE BECAUSE WHITEY HAS ALREADY ROBBED THEM OF IT!Also this is not the attitude of a dying breed of african-americans,Malik shabaz is a relatively young man.This speech is hateful and wrong and should have been reported by the mainstream press long ago.If any republican canidate had the slightest relationship to Fred Phelps he would have already been crucified.

Obamas experience in no way prepares him to be leader of the free world!

Jpb is right, but I think Obama may be the change we need

Seems to me this site is also consumed by Obama. Why aren't there any discussions about Mccain? He may be the next President and noone has anything to say. Or are the conservitatives embarrased by him? Shed some light.

gunmandanhunting, you said it right, people are being lead just as you say by the pied piper. Obama will not answer any questions, and does not have questions and answer session like other canidates.

When you want to change things you invite everyone to participate in a discussion so that you can make changes with different ideas.

I know that he is not what he portray himself to be. He has his own agenda.

People need to listen to what he is saying, he has two faces.

Why do you think that they restricted his wife thesis, she wrote and said the same thing the minister said. People had better wake up before it is to late.
