Cuando Obama gana tenemos que agradecer a Dios por vivir en un pais que orgullosamente escoge su Presidente con un sistema de Colegio Electoral cuya profundidad asegura que la mayoria de los Estados representados proporcionalmente decida quien manda.

Cuando Obama gana tendremos la oportunidad de decirles a nuestros hijos que ellos, tambien, pueden llegar a ser el lider maximo de su pueblo, su Estado, o su nacion. Es evidente que ellos ya entienden el significado de esta eleccion, y estaremos afirmando lo entendido como buenos padres.

Cuando Obama gana podemos repetir con mas esfuerzo el decir del General Colin Powell, quien lamento la muerte de un soldado musulman cuya vida se expiro ejerciendose a favor de nuestro pais en Iraq, y recalco que un nino musulman en nuestro pais deberia sentir que el, tambien, podria llegar a ser Presidente de los EEUU.

Cuando Obama sea Presidente va a haber momentos en que sentimos decepcionados por su empeno; quiza sea demasiado moderado y dispuesto de buscar consenso. Pero asi parece ser la meta primordial de su eleccion -- la reconciliacion y el olvido del pasado penoso. Por fuerza Obama tendra a veces que enfrentar a sus propios seguidores a darles lo que necesitan y piden. Duele, pero duele con un dolor exquisito que lo hace a uno saber que se esta curando. Como dicen los gringos -- No Pain, No Gain!

Vote Obama. Ahora.

JB,
You're counting the electoral votes being counted after ACORN decided to commit voter registration fraud and possibly voter fraud. Who knows, maybe McCain will have enough balls to contest the results in those states where ACORN decided to break the law.

If the parents are rasing them correctly, they already know they can be president if they work hard and do good in school.

While I respect Colin Powell, he hasn't really helped B.O. much. He's kind of been putting his foot in his mouth when he doens't have a teleprompter. Nothing like sharing the wealth.

Obama's lead has shrunk over the past few days. Maybe people are starting to see the liar he really is.

You respect Powell because he is an agent of war and a liar that helped lie the American people into war. What a sad situation when Obama is considering Powell for a position of power. The left is sickened by it and it will hurt Obama. But worse, it will help assholes like yourself.

Mad One, I must repudiate your disrespect for General Powell. While he was wrong about Iraq, so was a vast majority of the country's oldstyle politicians he's always served. That Powell, the son of West Indian immigrants, is big enough at his age to see we need to clean up Washington & remove the old deadweight of the Bushes, McCains, Clintons, & Doles speaks well of him.

It amazes me that so many think that General Powell was so wrong. I believe that it was proven that while the UN was not allowed to go into country and inspect for WMD, the people were moving them. I think that John Lovetz said it best, " ah, they all just, ah, disappeared, yeah, that's the ticket, disappeared". How we can take the word of known terrorist over our own intelligence is beyond me. Why we would is just typical anti-American.

General Powell is a great American and a true leader. Read up on the man before you start to throw him into the terrorist movement. His endorsement holds a lot of merrit. He is a very intelligent teacher who knows his current events.

Powell knew information was falsified and sat back while Bush gave speaches about tubing from Africa and yellowcake. The only action he could've taken to retain respect would be to walk out on the spot. He joined a team of men and women that were committed to war when it was absolutely unecessary. And he's supposed to help get us out?????

Of course everyone believed they had WMDs, classic example of the BIG LIE. Only Scott Ritter, head of UN weapons inspectors in Iraq, was sure there were no WMDs in Iraq. Interesting how that happens isn't it.

Obama didn't vote to go to war with Iraq, which makes him a great candidate for president in my eyes. But what's the point, if he's going to fill his cabinet with those that did???

Don't despair, Mad One. Obama isn't showing his Cabinet cards yet. Powell, like many, is hopeful of a role. We can expect Obama to do as fellow Illinoisan Lincoln did & appoint a Cabinet of competing views, all the better to keep them out of mischief against America's best interests.

Lest we forget, the Illinoisan Reagan appointed ultra-liberal Richard Schweiker to his own Cabinet, as well as lefty Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court. Our MidWestern horse-sense tells us to be pragmatic when possible.

Give me your intelligence reports on IRAQ and their WMD please. The BIG LIE that you state with such confidence. Falsified is a big word to use here. It shows intent to lie. To what end? Who do you believe that the war benefits? Who was the beneficiary of the WTC destruction. What other "Conspiracy Theories" do you subscribe to? Please, fill us in.

As far as Senator Obama, I do beleive that he is smart enough to know that having all "YES" men around will do him no justice. A true leader can not lead unless he has a few adversaries around him.

You seem to be obsessed with the teleprompter thing. If you had seen the entire interaction with Joe the "Plumber" you would have seen Sen. Obama talking for over 10 minutes with a man who was so obviously a Republican while others in the crowd sighed & had to wait their turn. Barack carefully explained how Joe would have benefited from Obama's plan over the last 8 years & that he would have been able to save more in that time to be able to buy the "company" he now wishes to own. He very patiently explained to Joe that by spreading the wealth around instead of letting the wealthiest 1% keep it all will help all Americans, esp. those in the middle. Now I guess I can understand that all people making over $250K might not want to go back to the tax rate that they were paying in the 90's but I think they were doing just fine then & you will too!

You are delusional. OsamaBama wants wealth redistribution......do the research. People are just too lazy to find the real truth about this lying fraud.

JohnHenry's about to have a fun four years w/ Obama as the leader he loves to hate!

Who's the conspiracy theorist, here? Certainly you can site sources that indicate to us that WMDs were transported out of the country, prior to invasion (please disclude hearsay). Because not only did scientists and experts search for the existence of WMD, they also searched for evidence of recent and tactical removal. And given the sensitivity of the region, surely the CIA would've intercepted intelligence or actual shipments of WMD exports.

this is an excerpt from a letter written to Bush from the PNAC...see Rumsfeld's 2 day defense policy meetings:

quote:

Iraq

We agree with Secretary of State Powell’s recent statement that Saddam Hussein “is one of the leading terrorists on the face of the Earth….” It may be that the Iraqi government provided assistance in some form to the recent attack on the United States. But even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack, any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. Failure to undertake such an effort will constitute an early and perhaps decisive surrender in the war on international terrorism. The United States must therefore provide full military and financial support to the Iraqi opposition. American military force should be used to provide a “safe zone” in Iraq from which the opposition can operate. And American forces must be prepared to back up our commitment to the Iraqi opposition by all necessary means.

They were willing to design a war against Iraq by any means necessary. Conspiracy theorists couldn't write this ****.

quote:

Who do you believe that the war benefits?

That's actually a really good question. The thing is, i don't have the answer. Who does this God damn war benefit??? I guess Iraqi people have their sovereignty now and their ******* dictator has been hung, 90,000+ civilian casualities later. I suppose you could say Israel, but that doesn't really pan out since Iran has just gotten more lethal since the invasion and our military is focused on Iraq, now. Let's see, I guess you could say it's created a stable space in the MidEast, oh wait, that claim doesn't work at all.

Deep Throat had it right. And not only Halliburton, BlackWater, EG&G, & the sundry other clowns who come calling on our County Commissioners w/ hat in hand begging for local corporate welfare to match their federal favors -- the Iraq War has been tremendously helpful to the mullahs in Iran against whom we've claimed to be "fighting" while trading arms for hostages for the past thirty years.

Saddam was Our Man in Iraq, which is why we gave him weapons to use against his own people -- most of whom, like grand imam Ayatollah Husseini, support their Shia brethren in Iran. Of course, the billions in benefits to Exxon/Mobil, the Saudi royal family, & other Bush business associates (including Hugo Chavez) oughtn't be ignored.
