Obama will win, get used to it

With the enconomy falling apart at the hand of the Republicans, 1,000's of jobs lost each day, foreclosures going out the roof, a never-ending war for no use, it's a no-brainer that the Obama ticket will win.  The sooner all you McBush/Pailin wishers accept that, the better off you'll be.  McCain is falling apart daily, scatter-gun hitting states that he's getting ready to lose and steadily dropping in the polls.   Palin didn't help his cause either.  The best she can do is read off cue cards that the McCain camp tells her what to say.  Hockey mom she may well be, but someone to answer that call at 3am, she's not.  She was just a short shot of crack in the veins, but is now crashing hard with no more drugs to give the faltering party of the GOP.

    " It so amazing how so many McCain supporters -Whites,some Blacks,and others-were in a stupor on Wednesday. Remember this: It was not numerically possible for Obama to win without all of his fellow countrymen-
    Whites, Blacks, Asians and Hispanics. He is the 44th President of these United States, well somewhat united. God has spoken. If you are truly Christians then listen to HIM!!! There is a reason for everything under HIS sun. "

    " Obama's birth certificate is believed to be false according to Philip Berg, prominent Pennsylvania Democrat who filed suit in U.S. District Court claiming Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen & therefore not eligible to be elected president. Berg challenged Obama publically, that if Obama would produce proof of citizenship, he'll drop the suit. Berg says about his own Democrat Party, "It's like they're in cahoots." "

    " Let me start by saying I'm no Bush fan! But give credit where it's due. After 9/11we were in a recession and the president did a great job to get the country moving again. the economy was doing great and the market was above 14,000 points. 2 1/2 years ago American's voted for change and change they received. What blows my mind is people say Bush is dumb! Do you really believe one dummy created this mess. Most of Obama's policy's are the same failed policy's of President Carter's administration. Obama will be a one term president just like Carter!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

    " Truely i feel that a majority of those that are voing for McCain is beacause the race factor, Obama looks strange so they associate him with our worst current nightmare, terrorist. I think most of you should not worry about it cause if he was a terrorist wouldn't he be from the middle east? Not to mention that his father is from Africa that means i guess all blacks with a diffrent name are terrorist. Im only 16 years old and i know both candidates issues, names, birthadate, and experience, so vote according to what you want not race. "

    The race tightened again Sunday as independents who'd been leaning to Obama shifted to McCain to leave that key group a toss-up. McCain also pulled even in the Midwest, moved back into the lead with men, padded his gains among Protestants and Catholics, and is favored for the first time by high school graduates. "

    " cont-Certain individuals born outside of the United States are born citizens because of their parents, according to the principle of jus sanguinis (which holds that the country of citizenship of a child is the same as that of his / her parents).
    It is a fact that under the provisions of Article Two of the U.S. Constitution naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of president, but this disqualification does not apply to Barack Obama, who has been a citizen since birth. "

    Kimbro aka Kim wrote on Nov 1, 2008 8:32 PM:

    " Military Mom -There seems to be some confusing of the legal concepts of jus sanguinis (right of blood) and jus soli (right of birthplace). Here is how the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service explains the difference:
    The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship at birth to almost all individuals born in the United States or in U.S. jurisdictions, according to the principle of jus soli. Certain individuals born in the United States, such as children of foreign heads of state or children of foreign diplomats, do not obtain U.S. citizenship under jus soli. "

He was not given the name Barrack Obama Hussein for our entertainment, it is a family name of his heritage.

If he had the experience necessary to run the U.S. he himself would know better. He's not interested in us and our well-being. He's interested in being a "global citizen" and bringing America our of its position as a supreme nation. Wake up. "

    " Nothing could be worse for our country when you consider the economic crisis and the current national security issues that we face today. McCains record is full of accomplishments, while Obama has no record to speak off. Americans need to take a little time and look into each candidates record and accomplishments before going to the polls. And let's not loose sight of the sacrifices and service to our country by several generations of the McCain family, going back to the days of our revolution.

    " I feel a need to share some food for thought with you because I have a hard time with what is happening with the presidential race.
    The far left and Obama have done a very good job of selling the idea that McCain is one, and the same, as Bush. The Republicans have done a very poor job of showing that McCain is no Bush. The unpopularity of Bush has blinded the American people, to the extent that record and background of the candidates has become a non issue. Continued... "

Now the housing mortgage bubble burst causing an economic down fall . Both Parties as well as Independents were watching carefully and provided no preventive measures . Now we must choose a leader who will act according to situations on the ground to drive us from this mess . Also we must hold accountable the government overseers who fell asleep on the job Democrats as well as Republicans.Please choose wisely . GO VOTE "

    " The thing is that socialism, (redistribution of wealth) has not worked successfully in any country. Many of the socialist economies are turning toward capitalism, and here we go turning toward socialism. To all of you Obama supporters, the redistribution of wealth WILL NOT make you richer, it will only make the rich APPEAR to be poorer. I say "appear" because they are going to do like me, lay off workers, lower my take home pay, and hide my money until this socialist experiment passes. You people are not going to be doing better, but worse! "

    " Nice try..."the rich get rich off the poor". I provide a service which the poor can not afford. Like many business owner's, the money I earn is mostly spent in the area, therefore stimulating the local economy. Less money earned (more taxes) leads to less money spent which leads to less money for the government to redistribute to the so called unfortunate. No one is forced to work for minimum wage...they just choose to do so. Just like I choose to take a chance in life and work hard! I'll just cut back and stick it out four years. "

    " Everyone's crying about more taxes. It's inevitable regardless of who's President. We have borrowed to the hilt from China and we have to pay it back. Bush put us into a useless war in Iraq that has cost us trillions of dollars. We have a deficit in the trillions, and congress has just okayed paying 700 Billion to wallstreet. You can't keep running up credit and not pay for it. The difference between the 2 is that Obama at least wants to share the burden. Everyone should be responsible for paying taxes. "

    If Obama does win in November, I will no doubt have to layoff several people and down size in order to keep my take home income below 250,000.00 (one of Obama's so called promises-not to increase taxes below 250K). So chances are plenty of other business owners will do the same, therefore causing you and your type to be out of a job. So, "get use to it!" "

    Wall Street is surely culpable for what they have done, but two points. 1.) They are mostly democrats, not Republicans. 2.) The root cause of this mess was the Community Reinvestment Act (Democrat pipe dream). Without forcing the banks to loan to questionable borrowers, there would have been no need for securitization. "
