This scum pretends that our country is in jeopardy from within when it is the terrorists who threaten our lifestyle, our security, and our economy.

“I will cut taxes – cut taxes – for 95% of all working families. Because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class.

Just like Krintong did.

Riiight. Definition of 'small business' is any company with two or less people.

Like corner crack dealers...

I hope Monday night that George W Bush gives his speech “no holds barred” style and goes after this empty suit.

This moron has not been successful at anything and judges W as a failure??? I hope W responds appropriately!

We are a better country than this?

Excuse me? I wasn’t aware that were were not a great country?

Exactly what are we a better country than?

The one where a refugee from the Sudan can be brought to these shores, put up in a home, and go through college and graduate with honors?

The one where a couple of kids in a garage can make a computer program into one of the richest companies on Earth.

The one that can send machines to the far corners of space?

The one where people can be critical of the government without fear of jail or torture?

*Except if you make and ad with Ayers in it.

The one where men and women volunteer to wear the uniform of this “lousy” country to go overseas to defend it and to free oppressed.

The nation that continues to inspire enslaved peoples of the world to aspire for freedom and liberty?

The one that only millionaire liberals seem to want to leave but millions want to get in?

The one with so much creativity that we entertain the world?

The one where women can live free and safe from repression.

The one where we can worship our God without fear of death.

The one where the limits of your greatness is limited by only the limits of your imagine.

The one where the grandson of a sharecropper from the Jim Crow south is so free today that I dont have to look to you for “hope” or salvation because my skin tone happens to match yours.

This is a nation not of kings or messiahs, no gods among us, but of men. Free Americans.

In that, Obama can there be no nation better than.

America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.

Good God - they want to elect my Great Aunt Mildred. I can see Bambi's finger shaking.

He's running against Bush. Can't say he wasn't warned.

All that? Will he bring peace on earth and transform it into a paradise? Talk about a mammoth-sized ego!

“...and more are working harder for less.”

Maybe if you stop taxing us to death.....that might help. I think of how hard I work, how much of it gets taken from me and flushed down the government rat hole....and for what?!

“And for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as President: in ten years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East.

What? There he goes with the TEN YEARS again. He thinks we have 57 States and that Hawaii and Alaska only count as "one more." This man is mentally deficient . . . He must have graduated at the bottom of his Affirmative Action class! I cannot believe how STUPID or IGNORANT this "world citizen" is.

I'm sitting here listening to Democrats praise Obama. I wonder how many of them are going to leave the toga party and go home and toss their cookies in the porcelain throne. There's NO WAY a sane person could believe what they are saying about Obama and the USofA.

McCain has GOT to win.

Is Obama saying that it is the fault of America that idiots have credit card debt they can’t pay? Who exactly made them spend too much and who made people take out mortgages on properties they actually could never afford? It seems Obama wants the government to be responsible for total care of idiots who can’t manage money.

“This moment – this election – is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive. Because next week, in Minnesota, the same party that brought you two terms of George Bush and Dick Cheney will ask this country for a third. And we are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look just like the last eight. On November 4th, we must stand up and say: “Eight is enough.”
Obama's promising folks some Diff'rent Strokes.
