Oprah started "Our Time Will Come" when she campaigned with Obama the first time.
If Obama espouses THE POLITICS OF CHANGE, why did he embrace Ted Kennedy's endorsement. Isn't Ted one of the oldest senators from the Old School?

Why are you and other persons not questioning the connection between Obama and Antoin "Tony" Rezko. Rezko has been arrested and charged with charges of fraud, attempted extortion and money laundering. Rezko received $3.5 million from a company in the country of Lebanon. He has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama's campaign and campaigns of other politicians in Illinois. Why would a company in Lebanon, a Moslem country, be donating so much money to Obama and our other politicians? Also, it was real funny that Obama donated this money to charity only after Rezko was arrested and the connection was made between Rezko and Obama. Sounds like the child who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Somebody needs to ask about the connection between Obama and other politicians and companies in the country of Lebanon. I smell something fishy.

At the end of the State of the Union Address Hilary went over to shake Ted Kennedy's hand. Barack was standing next to Ted and he turned his back and just snub Hilary.
How can anyone say that Obama is presidental worthy with conduct like this.

Why doesn't America have the same health care as France, Canada, Italy and the rest of the Western World? Is it just because American Politicians have their hands in the health industry's deep pockets?
As Michael Moore says in Sicko "If we can find billions to kill, why can't we find billions to heal"?

Do you see the Democratic race between Obama and Clinton as the 'real' Presidential race?

I hope I'm not replying too much.
I just wanted to know for so long, what right does Obama have to criticize Hillary's vote for the war when he wasn't even in Congress in 2002. Millions of people were against the war, should we all become presidents. In the meantime, when he did get into Congress he voted right alongside Hillary about the war. I believe that people not paying too much attention believe that he was in Congress when he voted against.

As an Aside, I was speaking to an African woman and she told me that there is no such thing as an "African American". In Africa you are either "African or American"
Interesting!

Barak's got me worried! How can I support him when I sense danger?
Item_1
During an interview with a reporter,
Barack had indicated that his preferred management style is for someone to hand
him a piece of paper. If I heard this correctly then how would this work? How
would he be able to keep track of all the data and information to make an
immediate and decisive decision? Does he have to wait for a slip of paper?
I then think back to the 100+ Illinois votes of 'PRESENT'!!
I'm sure other members had no problem voting 'yes' or 'no'!
Was he waiting for that slip of paper to let him know which way to vote?
Item_2
He also had an issue as to the wording of the IRAQ Resolution.
A weakness on his part that this nation should give flowery names to firm or
strong worded resolutions?
Item_3
He also indicated he wants to talk to nations. Did not that take place with IRAQ
and they kept the World dangling for days, weeks, and months just to stretch it
out until they eventually won some other nations over to support them!
So how long will Barak keep talking while the danger to the U.S. outflanks his conversations?
I do not see the growth or experience to where he has developed knowledgable contacts
across a large spectrum of needs for a large country. He is young and I can see
him in a VP roll and grow into the next step.
Hill and Bill have much to bring to the WH in contacts and
experience, both national and international.
If they bring in Barak then a good chance for
the Democrats to have the WH for 16 years.

If Romney wins the Whitehouse, shouldn't they start paying us $10.00 a day?

The contest between Barack and Hillary will come down to who makes the biggest mistake or the most egregious comment. Hillary had such a mistake with the illegal immigrant driver's license issue. Eventually someone will ask Barack where he stands on reparations to African Americans. Will this be his Waterloo?

Doesn't it only seem fair to give both candidates equal air time if one campaigner has run out of money? Otherwise,it enables the person with more resources to win.
I would like to know how much money Oprah has contributed to Obama? I consider her a lobbyist.
I would like to know why she (Oprah) has never backed a candidate before and if race now has something to do with it, especially after she stated she did not have to answer women asking her" why she is not supporting a female candidate."Do you have to ask" she says.
I would like to know what is the "Change" Obama is talking about in electing another male to office.That is not a change.Not providing universal healthcare is not a change. Not voting to support the war when he was not in office is not a change ,or voting present. Not taking a stand is like not telling the truth cause no one asked. It 's still lying. And voting present instead of supporting or vetoing a bill is not giving a voice to the people you represent..no matter how you try to defend it.
I want to know why Obama speaks as if he is MLK giving a civil rights speech?Just changes some wording...It all sounds very insincere. His supporters all are above the 50,000$ income.He does not represent the poor.Which brings me to: where did he get the money to pay for his college education ?
Why is his wife so 1950's, not speaking and giving such a flat affect during a TV interview .. Is she going to be able to put out the enthusiasm and hospitality necessary when diplomats and heads of state visit?
Why does Obama not care if his son does not want to be onstage cause"you know that is not my thing"? If he can't control his own child. .....

Please answer more than 1 f***ing question. Take control of your panel and stop acting like a Democrat (no offense, they just care) with their long redundant responses....If you need material, turn on the television and watch the media circus...
Talk about REAL Social Problems, because those are the REAL TIME issues.....
Extend your program to.....Damn!
