Well, I wasn't there, but it sounds like same-old-same-old by the report. Supporters still have that quasi-messianic, starry-eyed susceptibility to being awed into cow-eyed political amor - for a puff of hot air. The message is just made-for-consumption populism - the old Democratic/socialist line: big government programs dripping with YOUR tax dollars: cradle-to-grave Nanny state sure-failure policies. But it's the something-for-nothing pabulum the masses fall for.
My greatest fear is that a deluded electorate will ignore his marxist mom, Mulsim dad, and anti-American pastor, and the influence they HAD to have had on his thinking, and vote for this Trojan Horse candidate. Who knows what radical, far-left ideologues will come puring out once they get him inside the White House walls, open wide our borders, and shrink our military.
Of course, he won't tell us what he REALLY thinks - and would implement. We would be as horrified - well, those of us who still love our nation and its culture (what's left of it) - as we were with the Rev's radical rantings. The little the news is dribbling out is only the tip of a big, fat, socialist iceberg that could well sink our ship of state (once thought unsinkable).
But, of course, Billary is just 6 of one; and McCain is nipping at their heels in many respects. Woe is US.

What is your problem? You are the most bitter person I know. If you have all the answers and you apparently know everything why dont you run for president and take your negative attitude with you. Maybe you should consider just moving to another country. Because the picture you paint of yourself shows you lack intelligence, character and a open mind.

Typical liberal response to the truth.
Obama sounds "positive," but it's all pure hype; and I guess gullible people always fall for this schlock. The country is in freefall right now: morally, ideologically and economically - it's no time for jumping on the left-wing Pollyanna train to soviet America.
What's left of the free, limited-government, Christian, tend-your-own-life America is going fast! What we are being promised by Obama and Billary is more "Great" Society, cave-to-illegals and terrorists, free-lunch, nanny state socialism! I can see a big gala being thrown in the White House a few months after Obama takes office for his good buddies Fidel and Hugo (and maybe Farakan).
"Maybe you should consider just moving to another country."
No thanks - that's what all the libs in 2000 and 2004 "threatened" to do. If only they had! No, I plan to fight hard for my country, and return it to the free, Constitutional republic it was meant to be. Oh, and the red-radicals want to re-write the Constitution too. (All those rich white men wrote it, you know).
" . . . and a open mind." I've been encouraged of late that a few minds have been opened regarding what's really going on in the Obama campaign wiht the Wright-and-company revelations. If folks would just dig around in that pile they might see even more truth (if they can stand the ideological stench).
But the real danger is that people have been so radicalized by the media, universities, and the Hollywood cult, that they even resonate (agree) with the Rev. in his anti-American diatribes. Who said communism was dead after the fall of the Sovient Union. It's alive and well in American Universities and Democratic politics.
