Since Obama is the "newbie" on the block does that make him the "Beta" version?

I agree. He's been changing (along with some of his sponsors) his views too often.I've never voted republican but I won't vote for Obama. this recent screw-up talking about 'small town bitterness fits in with my view of him as very insulting and out of touch. Cuz all he wants to be in touch with is the blacks.
We are going to hear some big speech about his screw-up now. It will be off-topic. so many peeps getting smoozed by smooth talking. Stay on the topic Obama. No guts.
Didn't have the guts to vote tough topics. That tells me everything. He is in it for politics ambition only...to reach the top so as to create the race war.
I find it very insulting that he thinks he is so special that he doesn't have to vote the tough topics. He views himself as unamerican. Wake up people. His wife even admitted she ain't american. He ain't got the guts to tell his wife he is half white.
He can take his snooty crap and go visit Farakhan...another snob full of hate. Unamerican too.
From what I've read on what the candidates have said...oh boy.. you mean I have to decide between which pile of $#!T that I like better... What about neither? And McCain isn't quite the shining star either. Once again we have to pick between the lesser of the worst.
Assuming they deliver on their promises I might agree. The problem I see is many don't deliver on what they promise. Once in office there is no accountability to deliver on the promises that got them elected in the first place. The whole process disgusts me. I know, it's the best in the world but that doesnt mean it's the best it can be.From what I've read on what the candidates have said...
Hilary and Obama have goals with a deadline for almost all of them.
McCain has goals with no deadline.
I would rather go with someone who establishes a deadline so that we know what to expect instead of a guy who says, "This will be done." without saying when it will be done.
If we pick him because he says 5 things will be done, but he doesn't do any of them during his term... he can still say it was done after the next president does those 5 things. "See? I told you... it will be done. I just didn't say that I would do it."
doesn't matter. Every vote doesn't count anyway. We have seen it a few times in history where the popular vote didn't win.
The President of the USA is never elected by popular vote; they are all elected by the Electoral College.doesn't matter. Every vote doesn't count anyway. We have seen it a few times in history where the popular vote didn't win.
Yes and don't forget George W. Bush lost the popular vote to Al Gore in 2000. Every vote counts??? HUH??The President of the USA is never elected by popular vote; they are all elected by the Electoral College.
But I guess you were referring to the times in history when the popular vote results were more than the Electoral College votes. Such examples are:
1824, Andrew Jackson received more popular votes than John Quincy Adams.
In 1876, Samuel J. Tilden received more votes than Rutherford B. Hayes.
In 1888, Grover Cleveland received more votes than Benjamin Harrison.
There were also two times when the Electoral College failed to reach a majority. (In such cases, the election is decide by the House of Representatives.)
In 1800, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr each received 73 electoral votes. The House chose Jefferson to be president.
In 1824, John Quincy Adams received 84 electoral votes, and Andrew Jackson received 99. Even though Jackson had the most electoral votes, he did not have a majority "of the whole Number of Electors appointed," so the vote went to the House, which selected Adams.
I'm curious.
Those of you who support either Hillary or Obama--do you even pay any attention to what they say to each other in debates, or in their campaign ads?
Yeah I know that, but here's the example I got from one of my family members in the email..
I certainly hope that doesn't happen.If these facts are true, hell we are probably looking at a potential anti-christ! Another thing Obama may not have considered, there are other American radical groups who may attempt to assassinate him based on his beliefs or who he is....
