You make me sick. You are projecting thoughts and ideas before you even know what the guy will do. Give him a chance and stop being so blind to needed change. Bush and Republicans put us there, now we need someone to get us out. McCain had no plan except to dig us in deeper.

They’re opinions, one, and two, it would be swell of you in the future to drop the all-caps thing and share your thoughts in a more presentable fashion. The truth, as you and a select few rightwingnuts see it, need not be capitalized.

TENS OF MILLIONS OF TRUE AMERICANS DO AGREE WITH MY ANALYSIS INCLUDING MYSELF VERY STRONGLY! HIS RADICALISM IN HIS PAST WILL NEVER ESCAPE HIS LIFE AND THIS IS NOT SPECULATION. AT ONE TIME HE HAD MY VOTE BUT IF YOU LOOK IN TO A PERSONS LIFE YOU WILL FIND THINGS THAT CAN HELP YOU TO MAKE A PROPER VOTE OR ANALOGY. NOBODYS PERFECT AND THERE WILL BE LITTLE THINGS THAT HAPPEN. BUT WHEN THE MEDIA HELPS THERE FAVORITE CANDIDATE WIN AND TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT THEM TO KNOW ABOUT HIM. ELIZABETH MASSIE YOU SAW GREAT ECONOMICAL COMMANDER AND HOPE YOUR RIGHT. BUT IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE HE HAS THE ABILITY FOR A ECONOMICAL COMMANDER WHEN HE IS GOING TO GRADUALLY TAX THE MIDDLE CLASS AND IS ALREADY GOING TO TAX YOU ANYWAY. ALL THESE WORDS ARE FACT!!!!!

Greg, you can’t know the capacity or ability of another human being to perform great things. This is all your speculation. Those of us who voted for Obama saw great potential, wisdom, understanding, insight, and foresight, and with that we gave him the office of president so he can go on to be a great economical commander and great leader of the country.

Tens of millions of Americans disagree with your analysis of Mr. Obama, Greg. Many of them, like me, strenuously.

FIRST OF ALL I AM A 49 YEAR OLD WHITE MAN WHO THINKS THE THE TITLE SHOULD BE (AMERICANS SHOULD NOT SETTLE FOR OBAMA) WE ARE ALL AMERICANS AND WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER SO LETS GET TOGETHER AND STOP THESE FANTASIES OF HIS THAT JUST MIGHT BECOME REALISTIC. AND CHRIS A PERSON OF COLOR DOES NOT MATTER WHEN BECOMING THE PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY. AS LONG AS HE OR SHE HAS THE QUALIFICATIONS AND I SURE WOULDN’T WANT TO HAVE A TERRORIST AS PRESIDENT. OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY OF A GREAT ECONOMICAL COMMANDER NOR DOES HE HAVE THE ABILITY TO LEAD A GREAT COUNTRY. HE DOES HAVE A RHETORICAL WAY WITH HIMSELF

Good question, Chris.

I’m curious about what difference it makes that Obama is a “person of color.” DIfferent values, fine. You don’t like the guy’s politics, fine. I’m lost as to where the “person of color” comment fits in.

I was using the term “trust me” as synonymous for “believe me.” Perhaps I should have said, “believe me.” That aside, many of Obama’s values are the same as mine.

Yes, sometimes a sense of doubt suggests something is wrong, but sometimes a sense of doubt just means there isn’t enough information available.
