Obama's gold shop open!
As Obama continues to woo voters with his empty rhetoric, dems are waking up, coming out of Obama’s trance of "yes we can". I awoke a couple months ago, when I saw that the media slant towards favoring Obama. This is media bias “pro Obama”. The media has promoted Obama, not examine him at all, they have pushed this "Obama" as if he were a gold nugget found out West during the gold rush.

You see Obama for nine plus months have talked about hype, hope, change, etc, to his success I might add. Shall I ask this question Obama, "Can Obama explain how he will talk and provide solutions on 'bread and butter issues' that have and are continuing to hurt average Americans? Solutions do not come through hype, hope, change, etc. Obama, you should know better by now. Hillary is putting solutions on the table, with out this hype, hope, change you up message. Now she is giving people something to hope, change for.

Obama has been critical on any one attacking his message of Hope. Oh really Obama? Well, let me attack this message of "hope (deception)". You see deception all over this message when the average Americans who lost their jobs in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, the Mid-West to hope that those jobs return. Here is a better one for you, give them hype with no solutions, and when they leave your rallies, they are scratching their heads, leaving hoping for their job or jobs to return. This hype that gives not one solution to underscore your message of "hope." You have talked down to the small town people of Pennsylvania, saying they cling to there gun and God in times of trouble. Wow! What a revelation, what are we supposed to cling to Obama, you, LOL. Give me a break, why would I cling to some one who has a wife that is not proud of her country for the first time in her adult life? I wonder if she was happy during her child life as well? Why would I cling to Obama, when for 20 plus years, he sat in a church that have shape is mind set of Americans.

You are now on the trail saying that "healthcare reform, to be complete by your first term as president." 4 years Obama, give me a break, or are you hoping to get this done! Why not get this done in your first 100 days in office? Is this what you will call change, 4 years to complete an important issue such as healthcare reform? The American people deserve better, they deserve a plan with solutions. We will not hope for healthcare reform, revived economy, safer nation, etc. When we ask you what you will do for healthcare reform, revived economy, safer nation, etc, yes we can; will not be the answer we are looking for. "Yes we can" will not; bring back lost jobs, improve our economy, and deter terrorists.

Let me be clear, during the gold rush, many people packed up and moved west to find gold. This time around, many people have packed up and joined the Obama wagon... in the days to come they will find out that this Obama gold they have claimed, will later be founded to be fools gold!

1. Ah, I love the smell of trolling in the morning!
I realize you like disrupting, but shouldn't you be busy raising cash for McCain?

3. this is "funny"
Doesn't Hillary have a new ad coming out, showing footage of an older African American woman at a Clinton rally, saying that Hillary "shot to the top, like polished gold!"

Seriously. I just read it on Talking Points Memo.

10. Don't blame Hillary
A GOP troll is an equal opportunity disrupter. So don't join them by blaming Obama or Hillary.

Letting terrorists win and etc.

...Of course, that's IF she actually pays her posting toadies.

12. Our candidates shouldn't try to uplift and inspire voters to care and to be active in Government
instead they should "robo call" the whole process and keep it same ole same ole - so that people like you can still offer up the same type of "politics" that will produce the "same" type of conditions that we all are in now.

For all you have against Obama - concrete that is - is captured in ONE HALF OF A PARAGRAPH of lame insults thrown at his wife and pastor.

If you have any time read about his "solutions" they are quite detailed.

Your very thin attacks have no real depth/ much like the criticisms that you are throwing at Obama. You can stick with "business as usual" since you seem to find comfort in it and support candidates that lie - captured on video many many times, you can support candidates that have to apologize for their votes or even still support some of the most horrendous votes ever, but some of us want CHANGE HOPE and a candidate that isn't so tainted by WASHINGTON that he is wholly part of it HOOK LINE SINKER AND SOUL.... and in the end, I'd rather be a fool than part of the poisoned koolaid group.

19. As voters get a better look at Hillary, they are recoiling in horror...
...that's why Obama's ranks continue to grow and hers shrink. She was supposed to win PA by double digits, and she has seen her lead steadily drop.

And if you think her childish "gotcha" games are going to make people want to vote for her, you're nuts. Her games are far too much like BushJr/Rove's campaign dirty tricks, implying that her administration would be like Bush Jr/Rove's.

22. Do you think Hillary should used
teeth whitening gel at the beginning of the campaign?

And ARG (The Pirate polling co) has Clinton up by 20 points (again) after being tied last week.

23. That would require two e's.
This particular e is meaningless other than a red flag for the sock puppet of a reincarnated tombstoned shithead.
