6. Where are these Obama haters coming from?

Hillary is about the same ol' crap. She brings nothing new to the table, whereas Obama is about change for Washington and about a new future. Hillary is in the past and represents allot of broken promises. I think Obama gives people allot of hope, and I hope he becomes the next president.

11. hatred has never been the antidote to hatred. nt

12. This many needs to go thru the vetting process.

I want to know who, what he is all about. Eight years of *bush has been enough abuse for my family.

I want to know who this guy is! No hatred, just who and the hell is Obama?

22. Obama's cultural experiences make him unique

Obama's African heritage gives him a unique understanding of the obstacles that are ahead of us because he comes from an African descent and I would think that gives him some idea of what its like to be at a disadvantage and how to deal with discrimination and the problems that face the African continent as well as the Middle East.

23. My process in finding out who Obama was

First: I heard from my daughters -- who were enthusiastically moved to become politically engaged, inspired by what Obama had to say. This is not a small thing to me; these are strong and independent, brilliant young women, and I have a great deal of respect for their point of view & judgement. So I started paying more attention to Obama.


So I listened to Obama, and I read, and I looked up Obama's record, and I listened some more -- to both pro and con arguments & representations of his message.

During these recent years of war, at times I longed for the days of the military draft. I felt so strongly that without young people getting involved, nothing would ever change in Washington. When I was young, there was a powerful surge of hope and inspiration, activism during the Vietnam war, coming mainly from the young. They were engaged because their lives were on the line. (That surge receded, as a wave does; but in my opinion it is back, more like a tsunami this time.)

The Bush administration knew this would happen again if a draft were reinstated for their wars; so instead of a draft they used the backdoor stop-loss policy. Young people not directly affected by the war could yawn and sigh and go back to other priorities.

Despite insane wars, cheat and deceit in government, crumbling economy, desperate environmental situation, the majority of young people in America seemed to be politically apathetic, or just too busy having fun with iphones and ipods and the internet -- the tons of ways to be entertained & distracted that didn't exist 40 years ago.

So when I saw Obama's huge surge of support coming from young people it made me really pay attention. I found his speeches inspired me too. He didn't inspire me to blindly put my faith in him -- but to become engaged & hopeful about the future of this country. For the first time ever I began to believe real change in this country is a real possibility -- if the people are empowered.

His background as a community organizer is not insignificant to me. A person, male or female, who can inspire people to get involved in making things better is a great leader, period. I find him dignified & fair, and I think his judgement is good. In my mind, there is no way he could get away with being deceptive -- the young would be seeing through it quickly. People may say Hitler fooled the young too -- but the comparison would be absurd, not to mention odious.

I love the idea of the elders stepping aside, making way for a new generation of voters and younger politicians who can make America new again. This is desperately needed, and it's the right time. People getting behind Obama are not only Democrats but Independents, even some Republicans and Libertarians, and most important of all, the largest voting bloc in America -- the Apathetics. Can this be a bad thing?

Most of all, I trust my heart and my gut over fear. I will not vote for anybody who encourages me to feel afraid.

(Also, small point on health care: I personally do not want a mandate to purchase health care from an insurance company. Call me wacko but .. I'm not.)

If you are the least bit open to Obama, I encourage you to listen to him more, make your own judgement.

Ethics Reform obama. must say the video quality is High quality(for Cheap third-world porn).

9. WEAK.... every one of those attacks is easily debunked

I love the picture of the dead pope when he's talking about building relationships.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

10. yeah he is a legend in your own mind!

[liberalnurse]

15. I adored Our Holiness Pope John Paul II,.

Obama supporters even attack the Pope! Typical attack for non-Christians to do...

[galadrium]

16. I'm not attacking the former pope...

I just thought it was funny how the video talks about building relationships and it cuts to picture of someone who isn't even alive anymore. I guess that relationship is really important.

13. exactly the way I feel

18. Sums Up the Clinton(s) Campaign

Yup.

This little video pretty much sums up the Clinton(s) campaign ... mostly about tearing Obama down and only perfunctorily about building old Hill up.

And, of course, there is the glaring omission in the minimal presentation of Hill's resume -- her experience is all the result of marrying Bill Clinton.

With messages like this video, we can understand why the Clinton(s) campaign has failed to win the last eleven primary contests.

[galadrium]

19. It is irnoic that she is running as the strong woman candidate

but the only reason she became a senator, and has the chance to run for president is because of the man she married.

[Dawgs]

20. Barack Obama is leading in states, votes, and delegates... Hillary Clinton is not!!

:rofl:

[susankh4]

21. It is about time

The Clinton people have been way too nice in this campaign. And they need to get the word out. To help the electorate think about what it is doing.

Thanks for posting.
