Clinton supporters grow hestitant towards Obama

Obama has found it very difficult to reach out to Pro Hillary supporters and get their support. One of Hillary's top donors says she doesn't know if she can trust Obama and his policys, and will have to wait before making donations. It is up to Obama to continue trying to appeal to these women and remind them that although he is not Hillary, he still has the same tactics and ideas of change. Is it going to be hard for Obama to gain Pro-Clinton supporters support?

Obama's Pro Green Support

Obama is known as the Presidental Candidate who promotes change, and envirnomental groups think the same. Obama has been said to disagree with McCain's proposals of permiting off-shore drilling and expanding nucleur power believing that this would hurt our envirnoment. Al Gore is said to be very pleased that this issue is being dealt with and changes are coming to the front. Will Obama continue to gather more supporters?

Offensive or Funny?

http://news.aol.com/elections/article/vanity-fair-spoofs-new-yorker-cover/98079

A little after The New Yorker Magazine published this cover of Barack Obama and his wife, Vanity Fair magazine turned the tables and released this magazine cover with McCain and his wife. Vanity Fair depicts McCain with a walker, his wife (who once had a drug problem) holding pills, and a portrait of George Bush over the fireplace where the Constitution is burning. Do you think Vanity Fair went to far with their possible retaliation?

Are The Troops Coming Home???

Yes, I believe the troops will come home. It want be soon but they will be home thats if Obama is elected. He wants to bring our troops home to their families. McCain don't want them to come home until we win. I believe it is time for them to come home, they have been gone long enough and the families have suffered enough. I hope the troops will be home by 2010. They have served our country well.

Will A Democrat Make Much Of A Change

If Obama is elected president, will he make much of a difference. I think that he will because having a Republican as president is not good (problems all the time). I know there will always be problems but there will be less with a Democrat president. A Democrat president can bring a great change to America. What do you think?

Showing Respect?

When Obama cancelled out of the opportunity to visit wounded military troops in Germany and said his reason for doing so was, in his mind, a good cause. He doesn’t want to be portrayed as someone who simply shows remorse to something just because he is running for President. He refused to go over to visit with election funding and thought it was unnecessary. McCain on the other hand, disagrees with Obama’s decision and says that if given the opportunity he would certainly visit the wounded troops. Do you believe that Obama reason for pulling out of the trip was truthful?

Will There Be A Specific Price For Gas??????

It seem like the gas prices go up and then they go down. For the last couple of weeks gas has been $3.85 at a lot of gas stations. The lowest I have seen was at a gas station in Havana, a gallon of gas was $3.79. It seem like the gas is low for a month and high for a month. It's like they let us get a break for month and then suffer the next month (it is a pattern). What is going on with the gas prices?

Will Our Student Loans Be Taken Away

Massachusetts agency will not be offering student loans this year. I know the students are shocked and worried about how they will pay for college. I guess that is where the president step in at and help with education. They can stop the agencies from doing that to students. They will have to get money from other agencies and most of all they will have to start saving. Also, the parents will have to step in and help them if they can’t get money for college. So many students were relying on that money and now it has been taken away. I hope this doesn’t happen to any of the TCC students.

Obama Visits Iraq

It is good that obama has been in Iraq. It shows that he care and has had a taste of what it is like to be in Iraq. I am quite sure the troops are thankful that he came there. But what is the exact reason why he went there, I know he wasn't just visiting. What was his purpose of doing that?

Obama for president

John McCain seems to have good ideas about certain issues facing America today, but they seem way too familiar. Im not understanding why anybody supports the war in Iraq; which is why I fully support Barack Obama for this years election. Before the war in Iraq ever started, Obama said Saddam Hussein posed no imminent threat to the United States and that invasion would lead to an occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences; seems like his statement was correct. The issue on the Iraq war itself sways me to vote for Obama.

Obama's Push for Change

The Bush Administration announced the possible rise in the U.S. budget deficit to possbily $482 billion in 2009. Issues over the economy have been considered very important to the candidates, but Barack Obama feels the strong urge for immediate action. Obama has promoted his plan to change of course in the economy and has been open to hearing the different public opinions concerning the issue. Obama fears that McCain will follow in the footsteps of Bush’s economic plan. The rising concerns and issues concerning the economy calls for definite changes. Do you think that it would be safe to possibly keep the economy as it is, or is it time for change?

Barack Obama in the Media

Q:

Does Barack Obama popularity with the media gives him an edge or advantage over running mate John McCain when trying to gain the younger voter attention an winning the younger voters, vote in the up coming election for presidency.

A:

I think all the attention that Barack Obama receives from media gives him advantage over running mate John McCain. All the extra attention the media puts on presidential candidate Barack Obama make him more popular with younger viewers and younger voters.

"Wow, your really going to need hope!"

Listen, just like you I fell in love with the over blown rhetoric of Senator Barack Obama (ILL). His eloquent yet empty words softened the pain of having to hear from the Clinton's or Bush's again. Recently, Senator Obama has changed his message, or as he put it, "redefined." I could call it tweaked, altered or replaced. Come on people, he's no different than any other politician of yesteryear! He has changed on campaign finance reform, NAFTA, driving licenses for illegals, abortion, and even his main stay, the war in Iraq! People, don't blind yourselves with empty promises. Face reality, they're all the same! So, Americans I guess hope is what really matters. The belief that something you've been longing for will actually come to fruition. Like the Reverend Jesse Jackson said, "Keep hope alive!"
