What Makes Obama Run?December 8, 1995 Lawyer, teacher, philanthropist, and author Barack Obama doesn't need another career. But he's entering politics to get back to his true passion--community organization
The Kiss and the Cover-upMarch 19, 2004 Don't tell when you can show. It's a basic principle of effective writing, and we can see the Tribune's David Mendell putting it to use at the end of his January 25 profile of Senate candidate Barack Obama.
The Obama JuiceJune 4, 2004 Barack Obama's political director calls it "drinking the juice." Once campaign volunteers "start drinking the Obama juice," Dan Shoman told the New Yorker, "you can't find enough for them to do."
Are people idiots. They think that because Obama is educated, reasoned, tempered and well spoken, that he's an out of touch idiot.
Seriously, how dense do you have to be to think that intelligence is a sign that you are a fool. Intelligent people have a far better idea of how the world really works than gruff attack dogs.
The only thing that frightens me is that most of the people lodging complaints here voted for George W Bush twice! And these are the people that are frightened by Obama. How's that vote looking now? W sure did make things better in his eight years, right? More debt, a larger deficit, a credit crisis, more people defaulting on their home loans, higher unemployment (6.1% as of today), higher inflation, higher energy prices (gee, wasn't Iraq supposed to pay for our military support with their oil revenue?), a stock market barely above where it started when Bush took office....
Yeah, let's vote for the Republicans again...they'll lower our taxes!! duh.
Definition of an Obama Democrat: One who will do whatever the socialist organizers tell them to do; a person who wants to take hard-earned money from upper middle class folks and give it to the folks on welfare so they don't have to work for a living.
everyone needs to open their eyes...if obama gets elected pres. this world as we know it is over...minorities do not know what this country needs but yet they are gonna vote just cause obama is minoritie...antichrist is here people have faith and open your eyes and really look at what obama is going to offer us.
Ryan,...the world as we know it??? A world where people can barely make ends meet and are losing their homes. A world where unemployment is rising and the economy is shit. A world where our soldiers continue to lose their lives because George Bush cannot swallow his arrogant pride and admit that he fucked up. Is that the world that you are referring to??? If so, Halleluiah!!! Let it end, baby!!! BTW....AMERICANS know what this country needs, not simple-minded, bible-thumping, rednecks.
I was introduced to President Obama in 1983 when he was helping create "Change" in the community I used to live in. Keep an eye out for my documentary honoring President elect Obama! myspace.com/LaKenyaLacy

To Hussein Obama supporters:
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
Here comes the orator!- With his flood of words and his drop of reason.
A great talker may be no fool but one that relies on him is.
Bargaining has neither friends nor relations.
He that lies down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.
Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other, and scarce in that.

Why is John McCain afraid to confront foreign leaders even if they disagree?
