Also, the media is so for him and I absolutely know that they don't have my interests at heart.

There are reasons why people will not vote for Obama in this election. My own reasons are based upon a gut feeling:
This guy has come up too fast, too far. When do you remember another politician ever rising so far so fast?
Obama's foreign policy advisor and vocal supporter is Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter's national security advisor, who says that Obama offers 'a new definition of America's role in the world'.
This is the same Brzezinski who created the Illuminati's Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller in 1973. The Trilateral Commission is dedicated to a world government dictatorship and closely connects with other strands in the web like the Council on Foreign Relations (member: Barack Obama) and the Bilderberg Group.
Brzezinski's foreign 'policy' during the Carter administration, as he has since admitted without regret, was to entice the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan in December, 1979. The idea, he said, was to weaken their rival superpower and the result was a ten-year occupation that cost the lives of an estimated 1.3 million Afghans and spawned the Mujahedin, Taliban and Osama bin Laden.
Deep breath: he's now advising Barack Obama on foreign policy ...

And yet another stretch of the meaning intended. My God people, when will you ever learn? Stop creating crap.
Like the quoted comment above. Once again there is a leap to the most extreme conclusion. Obviously you are saying that he means his 'Muslim Brothers' as in, he is a Muslim.
Stop twisting the meanings please. You know full well that is not what he meant. That is basic propoganda 101.
In “Audacity of Hope” he writes: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope.”
Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction

LOL!!!! can anyone hear name a perfect president, with no skeletons in his closet, no bad decisions made, etc.........
can anyone do that here? i know 98 percent of the population cant if you were to stop them on the streets and ask them that same question. if anything, the first thing out of their mouth would be something about clinton. get your mind right, you dissin a man, when the history of the u.s has not provided you with this imaginary best candidate ever, that we should be trying to recreate right now. thats why people usually end up saying, well, your right, theyre not perfect, but im going to pick the lesser of two evils, or i think although those 5 things suck, these 4 things benefit me, so im going for this guy.
people have this stupid way about going about things, like, well, my girlfriend smokes crack, but she is in shape, works, and treats me good, so i wont question her about it.
my best friend steals from me, but i have known him forever, and he gave me rides to work when my car broke down, so i wont challenge him on the stealing.
just apply the stupid way people go about normal day to day things, like relationships and work, and apply that to how people will vote in this country, and thats when i barf in my mouth.
the worst part is, i dont even dwell that deep into the world of politics whatsoever. i just dont, but i usually keep myself informed just for entertainment purposes, like debating dumb friends, or just being able to add to a convo at the bar sometimes. you ask why, because i love the times of presidential elections, which is when people remember they can vote, and i love smacking people in the face with facts, only to have them dumbfounded, but yet these are the same people voting. your voting, and you cant even keep up with me? that makes no sense. ooooooh, you didnt do any research, you just heard someone say so and so is raising taxes, and you figured, they seem to be a well "QUALIFIED" authority figure, ill take their advice.
idiots
