It’s time for Obama
By Connie Depew, 1704 E. 6th Ave. - 10/24/2008
I was excited but did not expect him to make his bid this year. It has evolved that this is the time and place for Obama. Instinct and observation tells me he is the person we need as we are starting this new century of perils and uncertainties of incredible number and nature. Life, human existence as we have known it are on the edge of dramatic change with very possible grave consequences.
Obama is a man of this century, educated in traditional skills as well as the new technology and tools of the brave new world. He can and does listen, and seeks counsel with older people of vaster experience, as well as with his peers.
Obama shows enormous courage to run for President being a half black, as well as half white man, in an America that yet has people capable of yelling out “kill” at political rallies.
I am a 67-year-old grandmother who is voting for someone who gives me hope for the future of my children and grandchildren and generations yet to come. I am voting for Obama!
Current rating: 1.8 with 5 ratings.

You should be ashamed of yourself. You are no better than the others to even bring up Sarah Palins' wardrobe. So what if she IS or ISN'T frumpy? If you think that clothes make a person, then I pity you and question YOUR judgement. And as for what WAS spent on her wardrobe, (that was later donated, by the way), so what! Would you go on TV in front of the world everyday with what is hanging in your closet? "

Lets not forget how dunce blather tried to use FRAUDULENT documents as evidence of President Bush's national guard service.
Funny thing is, even after those documents were proven to be frauds, dunce blather still claimed the story was true even though the only evidence he had was the fraudulent documents.
Talk about desperation from the left! "

I would like to know where you get all of your "correct" information?
Let me guess.....The Drudge Report? NRO? Faux news? Town Hall?
What is so frightening about factcheck.org? Truth hurt? LOL "

Yes, we are on the edge of dramatic change. My concern,if Obama is elected the change will be the beginning of a country where those who are productive will subsidize those who are not. Obama's past relationships are questionable. His policies for redistributing the wealth in a country where equal opportunity is available to all may become irreversiable. There will be those in this paper who disagree with my summation, so be it.
Your logic is formed on a premise of your perceptions of Obama's rhetoric. Not based in fact. (please don't quote factcheck.org)
Rinnies comments are typical of the left leaning media views.
Sooter drools over your logic as well, no surprise here either. Others mention "youtube" to verify comments.
You will vote your conscience as you should and I will do the same-McCain. "

Okay....lets get into McCain/ G.Gordon Liddy for a change? Palin's witch doctor pastor? Socialism?? We are all socialists now with the bail out that the gov. did.
Its a good thing that Bush/McCain didn't get their way and invest SS into the stock market.
And the list goes on and on.......Psssst. I won't mention the big bucks spent on the "hockey Mom's" new wardrobe. Twenty plus thousand for hairdresser and makeup gals for 2 weeks. Many Repubs could use the help for their campaigns but alas....I guess the hockey Mom was just tooooo frumpy. Talk about an elitist wanna be.... "

Adolph Hitler was also a great orator and look what he did to his country and the rest of the world in less than a decade.
How many MILLIONS died because they believed Neville Chamberlain? "
