		<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Clinton campaign has changed it's message again.  Now they say that they are the one's with action while Sen. Obama is the candidate of talk, speech.  

Every week millions of American's pour into their religious gathering places to praise God. In those places they hear the Word as proclaimed by almighty God.  Regardless of whether you believe the Word to be true or not, if you don't have a good speaker/preacher, whatever is being said will not hold your attention.  If the preacher is really good, you would feel inspired enough to do things you'd never consider doing before.  Whether that's doing your own speaking to others, spending time with teens in need of help, feeding the homeless, etc.  An inspirational speaker can make you see things differently and step outside your comfort zone.  

Now, I'm not saying that Sen. Obama is a preacher.  I'm simply saying that because of Sen. Obama's ability as an inspirational speaker, he has the power to give people hope and encouragement.  What's wrong being made to feel that this country can do better?  What's wrong with being made to feel that the people of this country deserve to have a place at the table?  What's wrong with being made to feel that America can no longer do things the same?  And, on top of that; what's wrong with telling American's that they have to work hard to make the changes work?    

Hillary Clinton is not an inspirational speaker.  But, because she is not, she downplays Sen. Obama's ability to do so.  She knows that when it comes to a good campaign speech, he has her beat.  One of the things that Sen. Obama says in his speech is that hope plays a big part, BUT, you also have to work to make the things that you want to happen.  I guess Hillary Clinton missed that part of his speech.  

It's nothing wrong with two candidates contrasting their ideas.  What I do find disingenuous is Hillary Clinton's mischaracterizing his positions and his words.  Hillary, attend a public speaking class.  Or, maybe inspire people with how you carry yourself.  The thousands of people who show up at Sen. Obama's rally's are not ignorant people.  They are inspired people who do have hope and understand that they must work hard to accomplish their goals.  These thousands of people aren't wrong.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>In prior debates, Hillary Clinton has stated that the Dems should not be attacking each other, but instread save that energy for the Repubs.&nbsp; Well what a difference a debate and recent polls make.&nbsp; Hillary spent last week attacking Sen. Barack Obama.&nbsp; First it was the revelation that the Clinton camp had information on Sen Obama that was as the least, a little seedy.&nbsp; Then the polls came out that Sen Obama was leading in the new Iowa Poll with 30% of the caucus goer's choosing him over Hillary.&nbsp; Then, to make matters worse, Sen Obama had the nerve to respond quickly to the aligation and also stand toe to toe with her and not let her get away with just saying anything.&nbsp; </P>
<P>Well, Hillary thought she had this election all sewn up.&nbsp; She may&nbsp;win the primary at the end, BUT, I think that she took the voters for granted from the start.&nbsp; I think that she was premature and a bit disrepectful in treating her demomcratic rivals as if they did not matter.&nbsp; She has not won the nomination.&nbsp; She has not won a single state to date. How arragant of Hillary to assume that the country would overwhelmingly cast their votes for her.&nbsp; The other candidates have something to say also.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, they have said more that she when it comes to where they stand on the issures.&nbsp; </P>
<P>Also, I must say that former President Bill Clinton has alot of respect from fellow democrates.&nbsp; They believe that he served over a prosperous time for this country.&nbsp; However, for me, Hillary is tarnishing the respect that I have for Bill Clinton, with a little help from the former president himself.&nbsp; When he comes out and talks about the "boys" that she is running against and when they both play the gender card, Bill looses more and more of my respect.&nbsp; I already have no respect for Hillary.&nbsp; Hillary should play far and stop whinning about the boys.&nbsp; Don't talk about gender and then lie and say you're not playing the gender card.&nbsp; Don't talk about honesty when you won't release your White House papers.&nbsp; (you do have that power)</P>
<P>Sen Obama has the right to defend himself against the lies of the Clinton campaign.&nbsp; I respect the fact that he will stand up and look you in the eye and tell you the truth, not just what you want to hear.&nbsp; I respect the fact that when Hillary down plays the fact that he lived overseas as a child, that he responded quickly.&nbsp; I respect the fact that Sen Obama told the Clinton's to release whatever information they may have on him and release quickly.&nbsp; I respect the fact that Sen Obama is not afraid of the Clinton machine (whatever that is) and will tell the American people and Hillary Clinton the truth.&nbsp; Others could learn a lesson from this.</P>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you look at last nights debate and say that Hillary had more energy than in the last debate, you would be right.  That's because she took two days off the road to "prepare" for this debate.  She had to do damage control.  You remember the "yes, I'm for drivers licsense for illegal aliens......wait, no I'm not".  Yes, she fell from grace.  Someone decided to put her on this pedistal back in April when she decided to let the country know what she has known for two years; that she was running for president.  

Why is everyone so suprised that Hillary can fight dirty?  She's done it her whole politial life (she says 35 years I say 6 years).  Her plan was to let the guys "attack" her then cry foul.  Well that did not work.  After all, people said if she wants to play with the big boys, she has to take some heat.  When she screwed up at the first November debate, she knew she had to do something.  So, this is what she does best:  She will say "Obama does not carry all American's in his health care plan, before he can say what his plan really does, she says "but the Bush administration has screwed things up.  Anybody noticed this game she plays.  I'll hit you, then take the focus off by talking about Bush and look like the candidate for peace.  Give me a break.

I don't think Hillary won the debate.  It was more of the same.  After all, if the only thing she had to come at Sen Obama with was the lie that his health care plan does not cover everyone, he's doin something right.

GO OBAMA 2008]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Can I play the race card? (I am&nbsp;African American)&nbsp; How about the mother card or the wife card?&nbsp; Or better yet, how about the man card?&nbsp; What, you say that's not fair?&nbsp; Why not, Hillary's playing her cards.&nbsp; The woman card is being used like old fish grease on french fries.&nbsp; I don't quite understand&nbsp;it however.&nbsp; I thought that Hillary was a smart woman.&nbsp; I thought that she had all her ducks in a row.&nbsp; She's suppose to have everything&nbsp;needed to become the first woman president.&nbsp; Then why&nbsp;does she have to use this&nbsp;school yard&nbsp;game with voters?&nbsp; Probably because she knows that it will work on some none-thinking female voters out there.</P>
<P>Let's face it.&nbsp; It's not the first time that she's used this card.&nbsp; She has been using it for the past couple of months.&nbsp; When she say's "I'm your girl".&nbsp; Surely you don't think that she's talking to the average male voter out there.&nbsp; She say's coyly that "I'm getting all this attention because.....".&nbsp; Get it?&nbsp; Attention.&nbsp; </P>
<P>I am a woman and I refuse to fall for any of Hillary's games.&nbsp; You see, I am a thinking democrat.&nbsp; If I was as gullible as some voters out there, she'd have me hook, line and sinker.&nbsp; Why, because I'm a woman, I'm African American and I need health care really bad.&nbsp; But, I have never worn blinders.&nbsp; I want to see where I'm going when I walk out the door; or into the voting booth.</P>
<P>Sen. Obama was correct.&nbsp; If he screamed about getting called naive or being called on his positions at these debates, the american public would not stand for it.&nbsp;So, why should we stand for it coming from Hillary.&nbsp; I thought that she was more savy than that.&nbsp; I'm so disappointed.</P>
<P>Let's go to work tomorrow everyone and tell our bosses that we need a raise because we are black, white, male, female, short, tall, tan, not tanned.........oh boy, I could go on and on.</P>
<P>I, like Obama, give the american people more credit than that.&nbsp; I'll leave Hillary to speak to the none-thinking voters out there.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hillary do you agree with the governor of NY on giving DL to illegal aliens?  "Well, no I don't, but I do."  That's the way her response to that question at Tuesday's debate came off to me.

And, afterwards, she did seem a little suprised at the backlash.  Wow, she gave all the other candidates a chance to chime in.  Yes, chime in on how they thought she left them confused on her answer.

Think about it people.  What question has Hillary given a straight answer too.  No, I really want to know.  I don't want to be biased here.  I'm still trying to figure out what her answer is on social security, Iran, Iraq and now DL's for people who are here illegally in the state of NY.

Personally, I'm from the state of Texas and that is one question that would never come here, because there would have to be a gunfight at the OK Coral before Texan's give anything to an illegal.   Being from Texas gives me insight that many other people may not see if you live in say....Idaho.  Not that you don't have illegals, but when here is Texas sometimes, it's like english is the second language. 

Hillary needs the votes from people like me who live in Texas or in Idaho.  Not she would ever have gotten my vote, but, when we see the none-answer answer to question that important matters.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[So, whatever happend to the good old days when politicians could list the contrast between themselves and their opponents?  Well, who needs contrast when you have the era of Change.  That's right folks.....change.  

When Sen. Obama points out the differences between himself and Hillary Clinton, she resorts to the old school yard yarn; "Mom, he hit me for no reason" she wines.  "All I did was kick him in the leg".  That's what we have folks.  And of course you know a boy shouldn't hit a girl.  Hillary Clinton knows that also.  That's why she screams whenever he makes contrast between his views and hers.  

Hillary believes that knowone should make contrast but her.  This shows her selfishness and her eagerness to try to play dirty and call foul.  This also shows how she is using her role as a woman, to use other women.  If she cries loud enough and says these men are picking on me enough, some nonethinking women will come running to her rescue.  Yes, nonethinking women.  Women are being used and don't even know it.  They are being asked to call on their womenly instincts and have their girlfriends back.  They are being told that men are strong, but overly aggressive and if they as women don't be careful, these men will hurt us.  

Hillary hasn't been a women for over 20 years.  Now she wants to pull the female card.  I think that's unfair.  When you decide that you want to play running back for the high school football team, don't turn around and say that you can't take the tackles.  You chose it, now be a man about it.

Sen. Obama is doing what he has to do.  He is doing what is right to do.  Part of his responsibility is to show the differences between himself and Hillary.  Just as she would have the same right to do.  However, it is disingenuous for you to call foul when someone points out those differences.  Ths is my problem with Hillary.  But it is all part of the game.  "Lets say this....and the women will support me".  

The truth of the matter is that Hillary has not been completely forthcoming during the debates.  I am not the only person who notice that she does completely answer the questions brought to her.  She hedges.  She talks alot.  She's saying very little.  She half ass explained her Iran vote.  If you believe the lie that she told when questioned on that vote, I have a plot of land in Africa to sell you.  The truth behind that vote is simply that she is a hawk.  Yes, she would send our troops to fight in Iran.  She would change very little from what the current person running this country is doing.  But for now, she'll explain her vote by saying whatever will get her votes.  She voted for the war in Irag.  She never apologized for that vote.  Good judgement should have told her that Bush was not trustworthly.  It should have told her that the vote was a mistake.  It should have told her what she already knew; that the white house was filled with incompetent leaders.  But she voted to send over 3,000 young americans to die.

Obama thinks otherwise.  He was against the war.  He is against the vote made by Hillary on Iran.  He believes that you should be more forthcoming on what you're going to do with social security.  So, why shouldn't he speak on the differences between the two you.

Don't cry Hillary and yell attack when someone is simply asking you to be more forthcoming.  Just stand up and be a man.  Don't complain when he speaks of the differences.  It makes you look like a little girl who wants everything her way.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>I find it truly amazing that the media can't find anything good report on Barack Obama.&nbsp; In New Hampshire, he was endorsed by the new Mayor and had a crowd of approximately 9,000 people.&nbsp; What does this man have to do?&nbsp; While in NY, it was estimated that he had a crowd of approximately 24,000, and that was in Hillary's backyard.</P>
<P>Instead of giving Obama the proper coverage, they will give him a quick sound bite.&nbsp; While at the same time report heavily on Hillary Clinton.&nbsp; For example, she drew a crowd of about 3,000 for her birthday-fundraiser-flip flop session and that was enough for her to get the bulk of the press coverage.&nbsp; </P>
<P>Someone please help me to understand this.&nbsp; I am not being biased.&nbsp; I watch CNN, MSNBC and CNBC (no need to watch fox, already no where they stand) and all these news stations are doing the same thing.&nbsp; You can't talk about his rally's but you will talk about him not wearing a pin.&nbsp; They won't cover his stand on issues, but they will talk about a so called formally gay gospel singer who supports him.&nbsp; Give me a break.</P>
<P>I am starting to believe more and more that something is not&nbsp;right about this election.&nbsp; Not because Obama is getting little coverage, but because Hillary's coverage and the polls and the people who I have yet to meet who say they will vote for her does not add up.</P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[So Giuliani tries to use the old Lloyd Benson line from the debates with Dan Quayle.  Can he come up with something new?  Giuliani comes off as someone who knows he's leading in the republican polls, but also seems a little unsure.  (Something that Hillary should try).  He will say whatever he must to get elected.  Unlike some, I do see how he twist his words when trying to explain his previous positions on important issues.  He went before the NRA, knowing that they had BIIIIGGGG doubts about him, and took a call from his wife in the middle of his speech.  Why, so the press would have something to talk about in regards to his day with the NRA instead of writing about his position; which is:  FIRST - He no longer supports a lawsuit, that he filed against gun manufacturers, stating that there has been so much change that he may no longer support the it. SECOND - He was an advicate for a woman's right to choose. Now he states that he thinks that R v W should be overturned.  THIRD - He stated as Mayor of NY that we would never be able to solve the immigration mess we have today.  Now, however, he states that immigration can be solved.  FOURTH - Giuliani also deliberately uses federalism as a cover to avoid revealing his personal opinions about topics of historical cultural controversies.  I could go on and on.  This man is a flake.  He was a devisive mayor in NY and would also be a devisive president if elected.  We would have to watch his disfuntional family on the news nightly and listen to him say his personal life is off limits.  Wow, that was not true in the 90's when Bill Clinton was president.  Why should he be held to a different standard?  I'm sorry, but for me, the way you treat your family is a big deal.  If you will screw them around, you'll screw anybody around.  Lets be real.  Giuliani is not the right person for the President of the United States.]]></content:encoded>

Now, I'v said what a log of bloggers are thinking and posting.  I have been a political junkie for years.  I have voted in the last 5 presidential campaigns.  I watch CNN and MSNBC religiously.  What have I noticed us ask?  I've noticed that Hillary Rodham Clinton gets about 70% of the news coverage on the democratic side.  The others, well they have to get coverage however they can.  It seems to  me that there should be an uproar over the unbalanced coverage of the democratic candidates.  None of the cable networks are fair and balance at this point.]]></content:encoded>

Hillary has become so convinced that she will be the democratic nominee that she has become a little forgetful.    Flip-flop 1.   Obama said that he would meet with members of other countries to defuse tension if needed.  As a matter of fact, he stated that diplomacy is the best answer to many of our problems with our advisories.  I think that is a smart thing to do.  The cowboy in the white house right now has beat his chest long enough.  Yet, we find ourselves in a war with no military solution.  Hillary Clinton now says that she would also meet with our advisories.  If you press her on it, she uses nonsense to clarify her answers.  Flip-flop 2.  Whenever Obama looks the American people in the eye, and says what he would do regarding possible senarios given by the questioner, Hillary turns in her baratone voice and says, "well, I will not speak to hypotheticals".  Now, she's talking about all possible hypotheticals under the sun.  She just chooses which hypo's she will and will not answer.  She has spoken on Iraq, Iran, she hasn't decided yet whether to speak on the social security hypo yet.  Flip-flop 3.  Hillary voted for the war in Iraq.  She knew this would lead to war.  She says that the vote was correct, however, she did not forsee Bush making a mess of everything.  Saying, "if I knew then, what I know now, I would have never voted for the ware in Iraq" is no excuse.  This is, as Barack Obama stated, is due to a lack of judgement.  Or, maybe it's just due to the truth.  Hillary Clinton does not apologize for her vote because she would have done the same thing had she been president.    Flip-flop 4.  Hillary is quick to change her position on the issues.  Now that she's running for president, she will say whatever will get her elected.  Obama spoke of nukes.  She said no, no you don't do that, and slapped on the wrist.  She later said, "I would take nukes off the table".   She said she would not speak on hypotheticals and while making that statement, she did indeed speak on the government of Mushaf.  She said that she would not promise to meet with government leaders and later with MSNBC's Keith Olberman, she stated that she would meet with them immediatly.  The vote on Iraq was made for possibe war, yet she says not.  Hillary.........make up your mind.]]></content:encoded>
