good question....

It's funny how I"m not really bashing obama as much as stating my opinion... yet it's ok for democrats to bash the republicans until they are blue in the face... God Forbid someone has something to say or question in regards to the democrat candidates... sigh... it'll never ever change

I agree with the OP that it is disturbing that Obama cannot be questioned about anything without the questioner being assumed to have a nefarious ulterior motive.

As far as his name, I feel that the average American has, at this point in time, heard his name so many times that it no longer sounds exotic or foreign as it may have a year ago. The attempts at smearing his name to make it appear that he is a secret muslim has failed miserably, as it should.

The thing that conerns me most was also pointed out by the OP. The overwhelming emotion shown by supporters upon hearing his oracles. This seemingly rapturous behavior, which causes Obama to appear to be a savior of sorts, doesn't appeal to me. Also, the constant praise by the media has turned me off. As a Democrat for many years I feel that I am being manipulated and cannot voice this concern without being severely judged. This may well be the first election I sit out in the past 20 years.

I just wanted to bump this to remind everyone that "Barack (Mohammed - made up) Hussein Obama" is the worst person on Earth and the majority of Republicans, Independents and Democrats in America that support him are just stupid.

Who needs change? I mean really. McCain has served this country honorably for 40 years. 40 YEARS PEOPLE! So, clearly he's got it right by now. He supports George W. Bush, who, "history will vindicate" proving to all of us normal people that hate his ass that we, the people, truly are just morons, and George W. Bush, the real genius of the 21 Century, is our Daddy.

It could happen. I mean it really could.

Every fiber of your being and brain could be wrong... and George Bush could be right! Vote McCain! He's kinda straight!

I mean, hugging the man that did robo-calls in SC saying McCain has a black baby proves he's not only straight, but he forgives complete asshats that ruin our country as long as they play ball. Kinda like those Commies that locked him in a tiger cage.

Drink in the hug with me. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.


Consider this a pre-emptive warning. I just buzzed your ass. Goose has target loaded behind me. Give up now, and I might let you tend my Camels.

What absurdity exists herein!

It is a despicable, troubling and not surprising news that Bill Cunningham, a pretty extreme conservative, decided to call him Barack Mohammed Hussein Obama. It is clearly intended to skew the perception of Barack to that of a muslim rather than an American. What is truly disgusting is the lack of integrity those like Sean Hannity show when they try to actually defend calling Barack by the name his father gave him at birth. Let's forget for a moment that Mohammed isn't even part of his full name, just the Hussein part. Do we go around calling John McCain by his full name? How about Hillary (no, rodham-clinton doesn't count because that's a last name, i'm talking about middle names). It is very, VERY clear that this was intended to get people to associate barack with our common enemy. Now everyone wants to talk about how that wasn't the intention, how democrats are over-reacting, and how the american people are too smart to fall for that anyway. Well my wife's elderly father lives in Indiana and can't stand Barack Obama. He argues that Mohammed IS infact part of the name his father gave him, he argues that he was named partly AFTER Saddam Hussein, he suggests that Barack is a closet Muslim. None of these things are true, as we all know. And despite the fact that conservatives SAY democrats are over reacting, the scam is working just fine in the heartland states.

I also want to address this ridiculous point that Barack isn't getting any heat in his campaign. He is constantly having to answer questions regarding his lack of experience, his religion, etc. Nobody is pressing on his policies because he doesn't have a Senate record to back anything up, so what is there to talk about? This will all change. Barack is already addressing the religious litmus test that Romney already had to jump through. It's disgusting that we require this of a president, to say he is a devout christian before we can trust him.

I just want to say that i'm not going to sit here and try to tell you about all the wonderful things Obama has done. I'm not going to do that not just because i can't name any, but because i don't care. Virtually every president is elected based on his CHARACTER and not his policies. If you don't believe me, look it up. GW was elected because people wanted to have a beer with the guy. Come on.
