Michelle coming to G-Boro and holding a rally is like holding a rally for the NY Yankees in the Bronx. Preaching to the choir. Time and resources would have been much better spent out in the small towns or in western NC.

No way Michelle. I am a life-long democrat and I'm voting for "the old man & the lady". You and you husband are phonies. I guess now you will need the Clintons to help you get elected. I have had enough of both Obamas.

annoyed said:

Wow....after 30 years in GSO I am still shocked at how racist and ill informed folks here are. Anybody have anything to say about the issues?! How about Obama's plan for the economy and the fact that warren buffett and the guy that won the nobel peace price in economics are advisors to Obama. McCain was a huge part of the problem and will worsen the problem if elected. Palin is an absoute joke. If you must vote for McCain, please write yourself in as VP.

How much do you think McCain learned about the economy as a POW? He never had any command respnsibilities and was not very well thought of even in the military. All he talks about is fight, fight, fight. He will have us in World War III in short order. Brains? McCain graduate 5th from the bottom of his college class. Obama graduate Cum Laude from Harvard AND Columbia. Palin's executive experience is for a population of less than 1/10th of New York City. She and McCain are both corrupt and liers. You might want to check out www.factcheck.org before you cite the lies in the book you are reading.

And consider this:
'To understand the subtle but powerful influence of racial prejudice in our culture and politics, imagine the following: Barack and Michelle Obama are white. Sarah and Todd Palin are black. The Palins have five children, the father, who has no college degree, is working-class and has a DUI on his driving record, the oldest son is in the military, and
the 17-year daughter is pregnant and unmarried.
If this imagined scenario were real, with all the facts held constant except for race, would the contest for the presidency still be a nail-biter?'

No white should vote for Obama. It is a fact that negros vote by color and not by who is best qualified. Look at Oprah she was a Hilary fan until Obama came along. A lot of black Hilary supporters switches because of color.
Everyone should check out the following link about Michelle Obama .

It surprises me that racism against black or the influence from FOX and it's sister news agencies had blinded some of you... Remember Country comes First... I believe John McCain with his flip flop policies and quick tempered decisions will be a serious danger to the future of this Country. His VP candidate is the same.... I am a conservative woman, and I see her (even if she was a man) not ready or qualified to take this responsibility. 300 million people deserves intelligent and capable team. it really scares me to imagine McCain and Palin "ruling" this country same as Bush for 4 more years... . America deserves better... Obama and Biden are a better choice to bring back America to it's economical power locally and internationally. It is time to prove that you love your country first and vote for the better ticket not for the party or for unqualified people just because he was POW or she has executive experience "managing" a small city of 9,000 people....Get real and remember the 300 million people who do not deserve four more years of Bush administration..Look where we are now...Vote Obama/Biden.

im ablack female age 32, i have never voted before this election. i most certainly will now because of ignorance,racism, and bigotry

Ben said:

1. I have seen Advertisements where Obama says the constitution needs to change.
A. In other words he does not believe in the constitution.
B. He wants to put judges on the bench that will legislate from the bench and usurp the president and congress and end the checks and balance system.
C. It is clear he wants to end the 2nd amendment.
D. His family in Kenya is holding Corsic.. sp prisoner who wrote “The case against Obama”
E. In other words he does not believe in the first Amendment.
F. With all his government regulations he does not believe in free enterprise.
1. He believes everyone should have a house whether they have worked to earn it or not.
a. He is a socialist.
1. He has been involved with ACORN that wrote the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), the law that forced us into communism. The CRA forced banks to finance loans to Obama’s constituents that could not pay the load back.
2. He opposed your 109 bills to regulate Fannie May and Freddie Mac which lead to the current crisis.
b. Entitlements and redistribution of wealth means socialism.

2 Barrack wants to wave a White flag of surrender to terrorist.
Waving a flag of surrender to Islamic extremist that want to kill all infidels …which is everyone that is not born Islamic is not a security plan.
He said he wanted to slow our investment in the missile defense,
He said he wanted to leave Iraq which would have allowed Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas set up camp in Iraq.
He wants to cut the military Budget.
He does not want a wall along the southern border
In other words he wants us The U.S to be a sitting duck for terrorist.
Already the Mexican Mafia is functioning across the southern border. I believe the Mafia were the ones that killed Kennedy but I could be wrong.

Obama plans to destroy the American Economy by giving entitlements to those who do not earn them and will burden the working poor to a state they will accept communism.
He does not want to have independent energy and when he says McCain opposed bills that would help alternative energy you need to realize that those energy systems need to pay for themselves otherwise it becomes pork. The Ethanol subsidy is actually increasing the cost of our food. Cattle feed and everything corn is used in processing.

Barrack wants to raise the price of gas to $10 a gallon because he does not want anyone to drive a car. By doing this he will remove our freedom to travel as we please and lay the foundation for a fascist government to control us by controlling our movements.

His tax plan will cost us jobs because it will increase employers cost and force them to lay people off.
His health care plan is a joke. He ran in the primaries on Universal health care. We don’t have the money to fund Social Security or Medicaid, and we can’t borrow anymore.
Obama’s community reinvestment act has lead to the current economic crisis and has lead us to socialism.
Entitlements are a socialist philosophy.
You are born with inalienable rights to determine you own destiny, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and free enterprise.
Barracks Education system is to Brainwash kids into believing in socialism and that others should have to take responsibility for your problems. If you can’t pay for a house we will make your neighbor pay for it. Already there are several lawsuits in the courts where the liberal teachers are teaching socialism values and the environmental religion violating the law requiring separation of church and state. His church openly crosses the line between church and state. The black church is a political organization.
Barrack and his liberal cohorts have destroyed these constitutional rights and plans to places judges in office that will take away the rest of our rights.
John McCain is the only one running for President that has fought four our country and our freedoms; John has tried to stop Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae. McCain has tried to stop campaign finance which is the root of the corruption in Washington.
John McCain has fought to end illegal immigration that lowers our workers wages, reinforces gangs, brings drugs into the country and secures our country from terrorist and other illegal foreign activities; While Obama welcomes them in and wants us to pay for their Heath care, Welfare and incarceration.

Not even a week after the president election the blond topblogger from Sweden, Linda Ekholm speaks out loud about Obama!
And I really believe this is truly written by heart. Scary!
