...of upside.

We don't care about your name, Barry. Unlike your Kool-Aid chugging supporters, we *do* know exactly where you're coming from. And your patriotism is seriously the least of your problems behind horrific judgment, failed government-centric policies, dangerously Pollyannaish foreign policy, and a tendency to avoid responsibility for anything that may possibly reflect negatively on your munificence. There you go, Senator O. That's the race we're *really* going to run and that's the race that you're going to run away from.

Obama is worse than "risky" becase he stands for nothing more aspirational than Socialism and Surrender wrapped in nifty platitudes and tied with a baritone bow of showmanship.

BTW, "American Idol Media", is a <5>! The media puts on its Paula Abdul act with Barry and its Simon Cowell with McCain.

Yes of course, we are juvenile, unschooled, misinformed, racist serfs. We will engage in ad hominem attacks and work behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz; just ignore those guys - yep.

The problem for Obama is his policies, statements and relationships are facts. All part of vetting the accomplishments, character, judgment and vision for our country.

I know Obama and his band of merry sycophants will continue to get a pass from the MSM. So here is the corresponding list worth repeating;

Accomplishments
- Short list, infants born alive during abortion procedures are - not - well, humans. It starts at birth I suppose.

Judgment
- 20 year relationship with his mentor (his words, not mine) in which he feigns ignorance about his racist, hate America ideology. Relationships with American Terrorist/hater Bill Ayers and campaign contributor/friend (now felon) Tony Rezco

Vision
Tax corporations such as Exxon Mobil that already pay double their net profits in taxes (that will help the price of oil), don't drill for more supply, don't build new refineries.

Tax citizens punitively for making more money. Increase the tax burden on ordinary folks to pay for others healthcare and any other entitlement that will further the economic spiral. Sponsor punitive, overbearing legislation that will cost taxpayers billion (oh say like the mortgage bailout) instead of creating conditions for corportations to create jobs with that money (one might believe it intuitive that if folks don't have jobs they can't pay mortgages).

Surrender in Iraq, let our men die in vain, create conditions for the growth of terrorism and more attacks on America. Stifle the only growing non-Jewish democracy in the middle east and endanger Israel. Encourage radical, terrorist countries like Iran (they like me, they really like me!) with ridiculous, sophmoric foreign policy assertions.

Push policies that expand our government and rely less on individual liberty. Believe that government can solve our societies problems when they can't run a post office or immigration bureau.

I could go on all day. Honestly, where have all the quasi-intellectual people gone?

because it's fun:

--he can't dance.
--when he drifts out of range of a teleprompter, he's lost.
--he thinks our Arabic-speaking translators in Iraq are taking away from our Farsi-speaking resources in Afghanistan.
--he wants to pull our troops off the streets of Mosul, and keep a 'strike force' somewhere nearby in case the terrorists return (what are the odds...). I suppose that strike force would be led by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme, and Steven Seagal.

Unfair. Unbalanced. Unmedicated. -- IMAO

This would make sense, if he wasn't the one personally attacking McCain. McCain, to his undoing, is running too nice of a campaign. Sure he wants to seem above the fray, but Obama is going to attack him for 5 months, while he talks nicely about Obama.

McCain has showed so much stregnth so far, lets hope he shows some more on this issue.

Obama is no "little kid," as you derisively suggest. Demographic information claims most men die before age 80. At an "old" 46 (that is, he is soon to be 47), Obama is an old middle-ager and that's putting the most youthful spin on it. Middle-age, taken literally, is death date minus birth date. Obama might live to be 94, which would make him exactly middle-aged now, but I doubt it. In our youth-obsessed society, we like to believe illusions about age: "Sixty is the new fifty," et cetera, but we should all know better the morbid truth.

You seem to lack even fearful respect of Obama. I don't. Obama is the smartest guy in the room nearly every time he walks into a room. I seriously worry for McCain when put in the same room as Obama, be it cozy question-and-answer sessions or formal-debate formats: one is pitting a man who graduated among the smartest in the class against one who graduated amongst the bottom feeders of his. When McCain misspeaks, (and he will) be it a senior moment or from lack of serious homework, Obama will make him pay dearly. Then the electorate might, too.

From what you are saying, it is clear that not only does Obama never go to work, he goes into very few rooms.
Please go back to Barakistan and drink more koolaid.

smartest guy when he walks into a room.
Showing he only walks into rooms full of democrats.
