http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752 I sensed the charismatic Barack Obama would be a star in the Democratic Party after his speech during the 2004 Democratic convention.  I never dreamed it would be this fast, or he would be able to compete with the likes Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Joe Biden and the rest. He surpassed everyone’s expectation, and now it’s a matter of sharpening up the rough edges. In the last two debates, I have seen him deflect Hillary’s best shots.  Not an easy task. I think Hillary has only been stumped on one question.  That ill-fated driver’s license for illegal immigrants question.  Last night, I think he put that Louis Farrakhan question to rest by finally rejecting the support of this controversial figure. Give Hillary some credit, because she shamed  him into that position. Barack went from denouncing the anti-Semitic rhetoric of  Farrakhan to rejecting it.  Barack was mocked and ridiculed for saying that he would go after bin Laden, or any Al Qaeda leaders, even if the leaders of Pakistan disapproved.  Guess what?  Last week, this administration, sent an aerial drone into Pakistan to kill an Al Qaeda leader without telling the leaders of Pakistan.  I think, he was vindicated. Experience is a knock on Barack Obama right now, but he has managed a campaign of over a million grassroots supporters, averaging $109 surpassing all the experienced politicians.  A lot the major newspapers are endorsing this inexperienced candidate, likewise, the deans of the Democratic Party. They see someone that can think on his feet, and is not afraid to hear opposing views. He will not be lacking excellent  and willing advisers. John McCain will have the same old 527s, Karl Rove, and hate radio trying to pick up dirt on what they perceive as an upstart politician. If Barack Obama quickly rebuts the charges, instead of waiting two weeks, like John Kerry, he will be do just fine. Oh,the deabtes..Come on John McCain will follow the policies of George W. Bush.

Need I say more?   en-us That's right!!  You heard it here!!  Obama is at the top of his game right now and after this coming Tuesday, it's all over for Hillary.  She will no doubt drop out by Friday March 7 at the latest.  The future is now...the future is Obama! Yes We Can!!  http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39560 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39560 That's right!!  You heard it here!!  Obama is at the top of his game right now and after this coming Tuesday, it's all over for Hillary.  She will no doubt drop out by Friday March 7 at the latest.  The future is now...the future is Obama! Yes We Can!!  Shows how weak the Democrats really are. Hillary and Obama? Gonna be a cakewalk for the Republicans again....   When will the "party of the people" give the American public someone they can vote for? Weren't Kerry and Gore loss enough to convince you to nominate a central figure who could be voted for by all people? Isn't there a centrist Bill Clinton in your party still? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39584 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39584 Shows how weak the Democrats really are.

He's JFK-like! He's young and energetic. He speaks well and he's articulate. I dislike his politics but he'll beat McCain. He's promising everyone everything they want without asking who'll pay for it but at least he wants to spend the money here! Out of pure principal I'll vote for Ron Paul but war hero or not I can't vote for McCain. He's liberal as the day is long and should he win you shouldn't have much problem with him. He's the liberal arm of the Republican Party. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39610 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39610 Mike: You are talking about our next president.

HE IS A PERSON OF MANY WORDS BUT LITTLE ACTION.  I AM A DEMOCRAT BUT I WILL SUPPORT MCCAIN IF OBAMA IS NOMINATED. I WILL WORK VERY HARD TO GET MCCAIN ELECTED. OBAMA IS NOT THE ANSWER. HE HAS NOT PROVEN TO ME HE IS A LEADER, VOTING PRESENT ON THE TOUGH ISSUES, AND NOT TAKING TIME TO CONDUCT MEETINGS IN THE SENATE WHEN HE WAS APPOINTED CHAIRPERSON OF CERTAIN COMMITTEES.  SOUNDS LIKE A REAL LOOSER TO ME..... http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39613 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39613 I CANNOT SEE HOW PEOPLE CAN SUPPORT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

Thank for you commenting chvictoria I am sorry to see you leave the Democratic party, and  I really wish you would pay  attention to how Obama handles the interaction between himself and McCain. However vote your conscience and the GOP is lucky to a loyal,knowlegeable, and energetic voter like you.

It has never been about ideology with me,it 's just that  I pick intelligence and the ability to appeal to  both sides are the things I look for. I view Obama as Bobby Kennedy but we both see a Kennedy...LOL http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39628 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39628 No surprise here Kenneth I might not agree that McCain is a liberal but many conservatives feel that way.

I view Obama as Bobby Kennedy but we both see a Kennedy...LOL I will not vote for Senator Obama due to the fact that he has a serious lack of expereince and some of his policies are a bit off. I won't vote for Hillary because she to narrow minded and only  advocates on fixing one issue and the way she wants to fix is not in the best interest of this country at all. I will vote for Senator John Mccain not only because of his experience but because of his ideas which area really good and quite sound and focus on the bigger picture in both the short-run and the long-run. Go Mccain. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39633 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39633 I will not vote for Senator Obama due to the fact that he has a serious lack of expereince and some of his policies are a bit off.

Go Mccain. Exactly what kind of experience did the dude occupying the White House at the present moment have?  I think this is what these guys have advisors for, right? My feeling about McBomb is exactly that, more bombs, more war and possibly a draft which is being ignored at the moment.  Is anyone willing to give up their kids or grandkids for senseless wars? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39699 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39699 Exactly what kind of experience did the dude occupying the White House at the present moment have?  I think this is what these guys have advisors for, right?

That warmongering mindset is one ,we have to change. I heard Cedric the Entertainer say the other night "We dropped millions and millions of dollars in bombs on Afghanistan and did about $86 worth of damage."....LOL Obama has retired military generals advising him....People seem to forget ,he will be briefed AND he will be intelligent enough to ask questions and actually absorb what is being told to him. 80% of Bush's advisers were against the surge....He listened to the 20% http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39701 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_39701 That warmongering mindset is one ,we have to change.

A more immoral sickening group I have never seen. I certainly hope & pray Obama is NOT like those philandering murdering alcoholics! The young people of our nation do not need more of that disgusting behavior paraded around in front of them by a leader of our country. Since when did that type of behavior become the norm? When did it become something to be admired???? I don't understand how we have stooped so low that we accept & admire such unBiblical behavior. We need someone in office that exemplifies morality and who commands respect because of the way he lives as a Godly man. Not another philanderer like Bill Clinton & the Kennedys. I am hoping Obama will be that man. I think McCain is but I doubt he will be elected because people are tired of Republicans. Hillary's past is very shady so I do NOT want her as my President. Too many people mysteriously died who were involved with the Clintons.Not to mention the Ken Starr investigation. Where there is smoke there is fire!!! http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_40905 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Mike/6752/#c_40905 Since when is being compared to a Kennedy a good thing????
