cannot believe this endorsement and it pains me greatly!!!!I had so much respect for this man but, I cannot for the life of me understand why he would endorse BO. The man who knowingly socialzies with a terriorist and numerous other shady character and deals. This man socializes with crooks and other peole with questionable life experiencces.. I now am beginning to understand that this is a race issue and there is noone of the black race that can see through this man. He thinks he is GOD and people should adore him >I do not …this man is a man to be feared and especially if you are white because I have a feeling he and many other black officials, office holders, senators and generals, past and oresent, HATE white people. for years they have gotten better health care than the working person (welfare) they keep having babies and my taxes keep paying for their sex life… I am sick to death of it. Food stamps, they keep getting them and eating steak dinners, I can;t aafford to eat steak, but my taxes pay for them to eat it, I am sick to death of this also. their kids go to a college free (black negro college fund) I have to pay for my kids and they have to work a full-time job. This is just a few of the things I am sick to death of and i am proud to say I nam voting for john mccain at least I can trust him
I’m sorry you have so much distrust in such an admirable man. Firstly, you’re knowledge of Barack Obama clearly comes from the negative attack ads from the McCain camp. If you are truely interested in finding out about Sen. Obama, you should research his voting record in both the IL state senate and his record as a current US Senator.
Barack Obama did not socialize with terrorists. He was part of a board. I, too, have been involved in boards and you don’t know the people with whom you are participating, so that claim is outrageous and has checked out as a false claim by the McCain Camp. Obama does not and has not ever supported terrorism.
Next, Obama comes from more humble beginnings than most of us. He does not think he is God. He does not feel he deserves anything and when he speaks (and I’ve been to two political rallies of his recently), he speaks in terms of WE rather than I. He speaks for the lower and middle classes who have not been fairly represented over the past eight years.
And I don’t know anyone on Welfare eating steak. Most of your claims are outrageous and designed to perpetuate fear. I feel sorry for you, truly.
BOTH candidates are good men with a long service to this country. McCain served during wartime and has a history with the senate; Barack Obama worked with the people of Chicago as a community organizer and then moved up to serve in the state senate and later the US senate. I’m proud to support him as my candidate. And I’m proud of our country for looking past the lies and hate and seeing Obama as the man he truly is: an American hero.
