I do hope and pray Obama wins!
And if you go to
http://www.economist.com/vote2008/ you can see how the world population is thinking about who to choose.
When I look into Obama's eyes I see a wise man, who does give me a feeling of hope for the US and the world

I may be in the minority here, but I pray everyday that Mr. Obama does not step foot in the white house in 2009.
Everything he says just sends chills up my spine.
I cannot comprehend at all how so many people are caught up with Barrack Obama.
143 days...
From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
This is equivalent to a doctor going to work and 143 days later expecting to be a head surgeon.
This man has no experience at all, he has a start.
Raising Taxes On Small Businesses.
Mr. Obama will let the Bush Tax Cut expire. This will raise taxes on those making over $250,000. It has been reported that 2/3 of households making over $250,000 come from small businesses. What happens then?
Either you will be paying more for services or products purchased from these businesses, as they will pass the tax on to you, or they will go out of business.
I would think everyone on a forum like this would be against a man that wants to take what you are working for and give it to someone else. This is what he wants to do. Why are we in the financial crisis we are in? Because of these same policies. The housing market is crap because of giving loans to people who could not afford it just because it was fair. Would you go to someone that you know won't keep a job and say "I really feel that I have too much money. I work hard for it and make sacrifices that you don't have to make to keep my job and pay my bills, but I only think it is fair for you to have some of this money also since you live in my town"?? This is what Mr. Obama wants to do in a nutshell! I am not saying that some people don't need government help, but if someone is too lazy to go get a job and expects me to take care of them through my taxes....
The Dems picked someone with mass appeal to go after the young "American Idol" crowd. Most of the people I know that say they will vote for him have no idea what he stands for or how his policies stand to destroy our
country. They say "he is cool" or McCain is too old.
Please do some research on this guy before going to the polls. And when I say research, I don't mean reading main stream media articles.
There is just something not right about him. It is not his color, it is just him.
You heard the way his preacher talked. This man sat in that church for years and years. How can you honestly say he did not agree with the guy somewhat?
Socialized Medicine???? I see how the government handles everything from getting a license to buying a hammer, I know I don't want them in charge of my health should I ever need it.
Like I said, I PRAY that he does not step foot in the White House!!
