ask him what he thinks about people on youtube saying that he is the antichrist and that what are his views of it and his hidden message in the slogan YES WE CAN backwards
Obama is just some dude that has paid lots of money to get Youtube nd Myspace to put him in the Highlights, he definitly likes to get in the young ppls faces nd say "hey, im young just like you guys!! VOTE FOR ME!! even tho im not half as smart as Kucinich"
Kucinich will (***hopefully*** knock on wood*** hope to god***) NEVER win the election. you keep on telling yourself he might though, if it makes you feel better
How can we work towards achieving a stable world through diplomacy, and this is specifically targeted towards not only our foreign policy but our relations with all world government which at this time is threatening us all. If anyone fails to see us
not heading toward a very bad end, not just
terrorist attacks themselves, then they are not watching.
When are you going to talk about how you're kinda stuck right now because if you do bring about this false second coming with your phony jesus it will actually blow away all the anti matter people INSTEAD??? ANd how you have the true God (who is old) Gerry Butler bound and gagged and won't let him bring a better existence like he wants to do cuz it would interfere with your demonic hegemony and, oh yes, your income?
Yeah, I got a question: when are you going to come clean about your true citizenship? That of being from the AntiMatter Planet that runs parallel to EArth but is kept secret from all humans?
Just try one thing, go to each candidates websites and look at their "issues" page. See if they are actually saying anything. I determined the only real candidates are Kucinich, Paul, and maybe Gravel, everyone else Hillary, Obama, and the rest of the gang is "politics as usual"
Barack Obama in my view won the debate on Thursday evening. Hillary keeps talking about the Bush administration, but never give the American people how,when and what she will do. She is so sure she will be the nominee. Sorry to disapoint her.She needs to let the boys take care of business.
the anti christ would first appear as a false christ or prophet, one whome would promise unity and peace . . .kinda like a modern ghandi or mother thersa
The ANTI Christ is actually a woman and a good guy since Jesus was made up by the AntiMatter planet to fake off believing humans into blowing away Earth to buy themselves some vanity time. They have a bunch of 'copies' of 'jesus' and they are all in competition with each other to get "their" jesus to be the winner and then blow Earth back in time.
Senator Obama, what do you think about the federal reserve note? Is it fiscally responsible for the fed to print money out of thin air and cause such high inflation? Is there a better alternative to the federal reserve note and would you implement that alternative?
Senator Obama, do you believe that our present currency is working? What do you think about the fact that the fed prints money out of thin air and the middle class have to pay with inflation? Is there another solution besides federal reserve notes? What about real money instead of this Monopoly money we currently use?
During a fundraiser held at an art gallery, you demanded that two paintings be removed from the venue. Why this overt act of censorship when you could have easily held the event at 1,ooo other places? Why commit this totally unnecessary violation of artistic free speech?
Sure it is. Both are no more than TV commercials, scripted performances on sets carefully crafted to create brand identity with a target demographic. Here, they're selling:"I'm this cool guy that hangs out in hip cutting edge galleries". Except, in reality, his personality is more Thomas Kinkade shop at the mall. It is completely disingenuous. SOS. What a disappointment. For me anyway, the defining moment in my decision making...
ok, removing possibly offensive paintings from a gallery points out that he's scripted and there's a blandness about him. I don't know why the cable news shows keep calling him charismatic. I find the same qualities about Obama off putting but i'm not sure they're on the same level as Hillary planting a question. That's Bush level obfuscation and when i say hello to the new boss i don't want her to be the same as the old boss.
IDK... "Eyes of a Nation" the 9/11 portrait painted for Bush by an artist who turned out later to be an ex-hardcore gay porn star, as far as I know, still hangs in the Whitehouse. Rudy is the only other candidate that tried to have "offensive" art censored - the dung covered "Holy Virgin Mary". Even he was more honorable in the matter, taking up the cause not for political gain but from actual albeit misguided outrage
Now who is obfuscating? lol. I wish you well. It is a great country that allows an uncensored debate on censorship. I suspect the campaign staffs frequently peruse YT political posts. I hope we can help them realize they fool no one worth leading with their riduculous theater.
Senator Obama, certain conservative and Republican voters, to quote Mr. Giuliani, have argued that Democrats "do not understand the full nature and scope of the terrorist war against us."Do you believe this to be a fair or unfair assertion? What are your thoughts on "islamofacism"?
My name is David and I am a proud citizen of the U.S.A. Over the past few months I have been hearing about this action called THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION.

As the current administration exemplifies, sometimes you have to make tough decisions, and sometimes they aren't popular. For a bit of time Habeas Corpus was suspendend for "enemy combatants" in a country celebrated for its freedom. In June of this year the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act of 2007 passed the Senate, but not yet the House. Would you reinstitute Habeas Corpus for non-citizens who may or may not be terrorists?
What is your or your wifes membership status at the council on foreign relations?
The council on foriegn relations state on their website that their aim is to dismantle the soveriegnty of the U.S.A how can a future president have any contact with such an organisation? The CFR want to form an NORTH AMERICAN UNION, currently destroying the dollar (through measures of the private federal reserve)to bring in an "AMERO" any thoughts Mr Obama?
The date that you've given to pull out of Iraq is 2013. This date just so happens to fall one year after what would be the election for your second term. Since it is a known fact that presidents during wartime become two term presidents...is this date just to insure the second election? Why not pull out immediately?
Senator Obama, I heard that you are a Christian and go to a church that condones homosexuality. Is this true? If so, what scriptures does it use to condone the lifestyle? I understand that we are supposed to love everyone as Christians but what happened to "love the sinner, hate the sin"? If your church doesn't condone this sin then I am sorry and thank you for your time.
What will you do as a President to instill morals in the US? I believe that a president not only leds a country in wars or out of wars because that's easy and excepted, but what can you do to change our country? i hope this makes sense =(
You seem the least candid and authentic when you say that you believe "marriage is between a man and a woman." I understand that your ultimate goal is to ensure "equal rights," but if the only difference between civil marriage and civil unions is semantic, why do you choose to push civil unions instead of marriage equality? How should gay and lesbian Americans feel about your opposition to same-sex civil marriage?
Great question for all candidates & Americans! I am not gay but cant believe our govt & society condones treating millions of citizens like they are less than fully human. How can anyone justify dening others lifelong love, comittment and security? How can anyone including Sens Obama/Clinton believe they are somehow more deserving of a full life and peace of mind? Sickening. This is a cause really worth fighting for...
Well I have 2 "thumbs down" for my reply. Hum. Maybe one from Obama and one from Clinton? You 2 haters, whoever you are, are evil for stepping on the rights of your fellow man, for believing you are morally superior, and for actually being damaged enough to speak out against love and equality for all. What kind of monster does that in the name of God?
Senator Obama - Have been listening to your debates and many comments. I personally have felt that you were sometimes too extreme, and too out of touch with the average to low income people.I have felt that you may just not be ready yet. Maybe 8 years. What would you suggest, you could do to connect with the little guy more than you are now? Thanks - Gammy aka Sparklestheclown
Obama: why does your healthcare plan include for-profit insurance companies that play the role of wasteful bureaucracies that have no intrest in actual HEALTH CARE. their incentive is to deny coverage to max profit. Why not a single payer system?
We need private insurance providers (one) because of the number of them available creates more choices, and (two) no matter how much we dislike a company ... our government should never have control over which industry can profit and which can not.
thats a really narrow way of looking at it, the question is for the senator, I am familiar with these arguments, and there are way more pros than cons.
i did, my cousin lived in both the us and now lives in canada, she said she would never trade what she has for our system. they rank higher than US in the WHO list of HC systems. we're 37 in the world
Senator Obama, you've made some bold statements in support of the separation of church and state and the beliefs of the founding fathers as it relates to that concept. How will you defend freedom from and freedom of religion against those with extreme views (both religious and anti-theist), and what will you do to promote these ideas?
Senator Obama, your support among the youth in America (especially college students my age) is well known here on YouTube. Please justify that support by telling us the changes that you would make in the American education system to benefit college undergraduate and graduate students and their children. Also, how do you plan to gain congressional support for these plans?
Senator Obama, we know that the youth in America are becoming increasingly interested in political discourse. What changes or activities will you promote as President to further encourage young voters and to help their voices be heard? For example, will you support and lead the way to greater interaction with personal video interaction on YouTube or discussion of issues on FaceBook, and do you feel that letters and e-mails to representatives are truly effective?
If you were to go on a road trip, and your friend accidentally left the radio in his apartment, forcing you to actually talk to the person for 10 hours, would you retaliate by leaving your dirty underwear in the trunk?
i assume your political stance on the U.S. energy crisis is to move toward ethanol.are you aware of how much corn it takes to make just a small amount?
If you were gay, do you think your view on same-sex marriage would be any different? There are many heterosexual couples who, by choice or otherwise, never have children. Why should marriage be an available option for them but not for a same-sex couple?
Dont you think its time to treat israel and palastine equaly and not just back israel no matter what they do or how many innocent people they butcher in the name of security (Land grabbing truth be told), any way you have already had meetings with aipac and told them how usa has their back while they bomb women and children on beaches with their gunships...
Senator Obama, thank you for your time. There are a large number of pro-life Democrats who, although they personally like you, cannot vote for you because of your stand on abortion. You are invited to view my youtube video, "Pro-Life Anti-Abortion Video - The Silent Scream Parts 1 - 5". If you were to become pro-life (it is never too late), I truly believe that would help you to beat Clinton, who, as you know, is pro-choice.
Basically if people won't vote for either Democratic or Republican candidates they're told to find a 3rd alternative, vote anyway, or their opinion doesn't matter ...
Why isn't there the choice to vote "None Of The Above" in every election ??
Why not (at least) allow the American people the option to say NO to the nominees selected by the Democratic/Republican parties ?
Yes! Political spending far outpaces inflation! I think they shouldn't even be allowed to spend a thing! They should only get volunteers to campaign for them & do free debates on t.v. Let's get away from the idea that who can raise the most money are most likely to win! If the best person is a ordinary citizen with no money or machine behind them they should be able to run!
Steve, first of all, thank you for this oppotunity.
My question for Senator Obama is probably a general one that everyone would like to know: What are YOU going to do to make this America MY America again? In light of recent issues in the House, our freedoms and rights are being limited more everyday. When in office would you do more to make sure The country is run by the people for the poeple, or will you turn a blind eye and let Congress continue to piddle away our freedoms?
Please ask Sen. Obama if he agrees that the American people have a right to know who the Presidential candidates of both parties would appoint to their cabinets. Sec. of State, Defense, Treasury,etc.
My husband is currently in his last year of medical school. Due to the fact that medical school is extremely expensive (he's incurred several hundred thousand dollars in debt) and he still has at least 5 years of residency training before he can actually practice medicine, what do you have planned to protect Doctors from malpractice suits and diminished incomes?
Senator Obama, Why do you think that appealing to faith is better than appealing to reason? Have you not heard about the Seperation of Church and State?
I am observing the presidential elections from my home country of England. Tony Blair was criticised for being too close to George Bush. If you became President, how would the relationship between our two nations be different?

i assume your political stance on the U.S. energy crisis is to move toward ethanol.are you aware of how much corn it takes to make just a small amount?
extrememaxxxman 4 years ago
Ethanol can be made from just about anything; from hemp oil to peanut oil. We can also make synthetic ethanol using only chemicals compounds.
See, America should have switched to all diesel engines like 80 years ago and moved away from our dependency with the oil industry ...
I'll give you 3 guesses as to why that never happened.

If you were gay, do you think your view on same-sex marriage would be any different? There are many heterosexual couples who, by choice or otherwise, never have children. Why should marriage be an available option for them but not for a same-sex couple?

Dont you think its time to treat israel and palastine equaly and not just back israel no matter what they do or how many innocent people they butcher in the name of security (Land grabbing truth be told), any way you have already had meetings with aipac and told them how usa has their back while they bomb women and children on beaches with their gunships...

Senator Obama, thank you for your time. There are a large number of pro-life Democrats who, although they personally like you, cannot vote for you because of your stand on abortion. You are invited to view my youtube video, "Pro-Life Anti-Abortion Video - The Silent Scream Parts 1 - 5". If you were to become pro-life (it is never too late), I truly believe that would help you to beat Clinton, who, as you know, is pro-choice.

Basically if people won't vote for either Democratic or Republican candidates they're told to find a 3rd alternative, vote anyway, or their opinion doesn't matter ...
Why isn't there the choice to vote "None Of The Above" in every election ??
Why not (at least) allow the American people the option to say NO to the nominees selected by the Democratic/Republican parties ?

Congress allowed the two main parties 50 billion each as their campaign contributions ... Why should taxes to pay for these political campaigns ?

Yes! Political spending far outpaces inflation! I think they shouldn't even be allowed to spend a thing! They should only get volunteers to campaign for them & do free debates on t.v. Let's get away from the idea that who can raise the most money are most likely to win! If the best person is a ordinary citizen with no money or machine behind them they should be able to run!

Thank you, that's what I was thinking ...
"The nominees are selected by the dollar signs they bring in" (?)
This is a country with the wealthiest class being 1% of the population ... and they're deciding our candidates for us ?
That's just wrong.

Steve, first of all, thank you for this oppotunity.
My question for Senator Obama is probably a general one that everyone would like to know: What are YOU going to do to make this America MY America again? In light of recent issues in the House, our freedoms and rights are being limited more everyday. When in office would you do more to make sure The country is run by the people for the poeple, or will you turn a blind eye and let Congress continue to piddle away our freedoms?

Please ask Sen. Obama if he agrees that the American people have a right to know who the Presidential candidates of both parties would appoint to their cabinets. Sec. of State, Defense, Treasury,etc.

Senator Obama,
My husband is currently in his last year of medical school. Due to the fact that medical school is extremely expensive (he's incurred several hundred thousand dollars in debt) and he still has at least 5 years of residency training before he can actually practice medicine, what do you have planned to protect Doctors from malpractice suits and diminished incomes?

Senator Obama, Why do you think that appealing to faith is better than appealing to reason? Have you not heard about the Seperation of Church and State?

Mr Obama,
Why do you feel that YOU are the best choice for the democratic nomination? What do you have to offer to the presidency that your opponents do not?

I am observing the presidential elections from my home country of England. Tony Blair was criticised for being too close to George Bush. If you became President, how would the relationship between our two nations be different?
