Let's don't say lie. Let's say they exaggerate things. They have to..... to get elected. They have to exaggerate in order to appeal to the 20% of Americans whose IQ is less than 50. During the last election, a newsman was interviewing a woman about why she voted for George Bush. "Because he is a God fearing man" she replied. Domestic policy? Foreign policy? Global warming? Etc, etc? Nope.....just Rowe V Wade and gay marriage was her agenda. I'm not sure I understand the multitude of "lies" you attribute to Obama. I think he has been pretty honest about things. He is embarrassed about the ol' big mouth reverend for sure, and he is doing damage control. But he is his own man, just like most of us are and you can't blame the son for the sins of the father. Barack Obama is not a clone of Reverend Wright. Most reasonable people can see this if they have been studying the man. "Name one thing he has accomplished as a Senator?".......running for President, while the other 99 Senators are sitting on their duffs wondering what happened:)

Have you not seen that even a mojority of white women in California have switched (note the past tense used) from Clinton to Obama? I am sure my views will not influence you but, I do not believe you should switch, either way, just because a majority has now developed to support Sen. Obama, even in California and even by people that sometimes tend to follow trends. Let me assure you, if you were a member of any minority, you would look with hope at any candidate that overcame odds greater than you and I have met, or will ever meet. Could you even imagine an African-American that has the majority of delegates, pledged delegates and superDelegates and has won the greatest number of votes where his name was in the ballot for voters to chose (his name did not appear in the Michigan ballot because he followed the Rules set by the Democratic Party Leaders well ahead, for all member of the Democratic Party to follow and, get this, BOTH Clinton and Obama said they would abide by the rules)? If she does not follow rules, how can you tell what would she do about anything? Sob, and follow her whims and emotions? Can you repeat any Principle she said, more than once, she believes? About the issues that would command your loyalty, that's a personal matter. With me is his unwavering pledge to end the war in Iraq. That many are indifferent to the 4050 dead soldiers sways me only in the sense of abhorrance: Who are these people that do not care for the people that risked and lost their life to defend us? That we now know it was all propaganda, according to the Chief Spokesman of Pres Bush adds the final nail to the work greatly advanced in books from Tenet to Clarke, the thoughtful experts on Iraq. I cannot believe that even if McCain is elected he could continue the war. Why would anybody vote to support a war that was started by and for Propanda? Have you been able to link the price of oil to the War in Iraq? Gee, you mean they might be related? What an awful thought! Republicans will have troubles electing anyone, they lost two seats in "safe" long-time Republican districts -and they know it. McCain insists "we must defend the American Embassy in Baghdad" knowing it is a complex of 128 buildings, the largest and costliest embassy for any and in any country any where. Can we defend that complex better than the "Green Zone" in Baghadad? Israel and the "Green Zone" are periodically attacked by rockets. Do we have a defense for that? Why don't we tell the Israeli to do what we are going to do? Because we have failed to believe the words most leaders have said, including Sen. Clinton "THERE IS NO MILITARY SOLUTION!" So, what do they propose instead: NOTHING! Oh, I see. Or, is the plan another "I have a Plan" like Nixon said and after the election we learnt it was a massive bombing of Hanoi and Cambodia? Do you think it worked? Are we able to learn from history? Can we tell what we did wrong in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq? And, what we did in right in Bosnia and Somalia? Did we forget how Soviet lost in Afghanistan? We armed ben Laden, remember? The last CIA estimate is that "al Quida" is rapidly sinking, they did not say "on their last throes" like VP Chaney said, years ago. I guess we did learn something, after all. MikeSar

Vivi2008: "Obama's CHANGE is taking us backward in time to where blacks and whites did not get along." ______________________________________________________ Your inference is that things are much better now. There has been changes, mostly due to laws that forced people and their state governments to change their behavior. The South is the example I'm talking about mostly. The recent Mississippi election tells the real story: 90% of blacks voted for Obama and 70% of whites voted for Hillary. What does that tell you? Their policies are almost identical. Why the divide? Pretty obvious, don't you think? Generally speaking, race is still an issue in this country, probably the whole world. Although, many times it's under the radar. Sometimes it's blatant like with the Reverend Wright and Senator Bird. You can color it and put lipstick on it but it refuses to go away. How many black friends have you had over for dinner lately? If you visit a high school cafeteria during lunch time, do you know what you will see? Even with these "enlighten" high schoolers, the blacks tend to group up together, the whites tend to group, and so do the Hispanics. There is no rainbow. I have no problem with Obama. He is not Reverend Wright's clone.

McCain has serious Pastor problems, more difficult that Rev. Wright. His pastor made comments linking the Holocaust to Israel in some convoluted way that seems to put the blame on, would you believe, God Himself! Now, how can anyone say: God did it! Or, God couldn't have done it! The Pastor is in trouble also with Catholic Church for saying something I cannot repeat because the "filter" here would delete the word, as well it should. Look it up! You might learn something about McCain, other than his age and the possibility that, he does not appear to be senile, yet. Remember, there is no known way to test for senility, there is no protein marker, yet. It is only through "interviews", a subjective evaluation, only. How can a Christian attack the Jewish and Catholic Churches and claim to be Christian? How did his church evolve without the Jews and Catholics? Even Martin Luther, a Dominican Monk, would laugh at the audacity or stupidity. Wasn't Christ a Jew? Didn't they put a sign on top of the cross? What does INRI mean? What the Heck, four years as President is not likely to bring senility on anyone, right? Did you ever see the moment on TV with Nancy prompting Reagan? He was later diagnosed with Alzheimer's, not senility, no protein or DNA test for that, either. What's the name of McCain's wife? I forget, maybe its Early Onset Alzheimer's, you think? I am older than McCain. MikeSar

First of all, you misspelled OBAMA. Secondly, why would he be racist if he recognizes the peoples social status and ethnicity; wouldn't you have a president who recognizes you, rather than ignores you? Also, put yourself in his position; how would you react if your preacher said something you were not in control of. With the belief of your preacher, everyone is making the assumption that your whole belief system mimics that of your preacher. When in reality, OBAMA had no control over what his preacher could or could not say. Finally, can you add some cohesiveness to your long paragraph, it sounds like a lot of nonsense. Thanks

I noticed that you wrote something about immigrants... "So, mr. Pullio why are we tolerating criminals in this nation, are we just too stupid to send them back to mexico, who really does not want them?" "Who the real criminals are. Not the Minutemen who want to put up a sign expressing their point of view,(which constitutionally they have a right to express). It is the illegals whose threats to trash the sign have intimidate the never brave State of California employees." It seems to me that you are hypocritical racist.
