[2loafabread]

[jmosher4]

moveon need to go away. Obama will support this war. You people that look up at moveon have no clue. Support a true leader John M.

Obama global poverty act, guns, wife, friends, child tax cut in half, gone with the Bush tax cut, tax money for free loaders, tax rich high, they support the jobs. More lay offs, Global warming bull. Lies means Obama

[dingobaby4]

TO OBAMA CAMPAIGN:AD NAUSEUM: PLEASE stop him from spouting off about always being against the war,it turns our stomachs because he was NOT there to vote on going to war,he was planning his democratic presidential bid at the time.if he had of been there my guess he would have voted PRESENT(seriously it just enrages people who hear him cop to being against the war post 911,its deceiving,how dare he condemn others who represent this country.its just so immature of him to DIG that issue any longer

[polarconnections]

OBAMA lying to you! = ONE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Despite Obama's antiwar rhetoric and image, he has voted along with Senator Clinton for $300 billion in war FUNDING when he entered the US Senate in 2005. In addition, Senator Obama contributed more political efforts by voting in favor of the 2006 version of the Patriot Act.

OBAMA LIED TO YOU!!

PASS IT ON!

[EntertheBlackDragon]

PolarC Get a clue the man was against this war from the start, and you blame him for funding our troops now that we're in it? What a hypocrit you are. I'm glad it's him running for the white house and not you. This is the first time an intelligent man who has a plan is running based on intelligent judgements instead of fear, or gender and race baiting. A man who has answers and solutions to our nations problems. Grow up. Why don't you look up Bush pardoning himself from Treason? Speak on that!

[DaddieIsh]

Bill Clinton has too much intrest in the presidential campaign and as a former president has great infuluance in this campaign; for fairness sake and if he really is a true democratic example he should recuse himself like judges do in cases for fairness sake. Yes, all other former presidents campaign for whoever they choose, but not to go back to Whitehouse like Bill Clinton.

[cougarflounder]

hughlooks-

How is that flip-flopping? Each election is a different animal, and I personally don't see what's respectable about voting for the same party every time without taking into account who they've nominated. The presidential race is a bipartisan event, where America tries to find the best leader there is.

[hughlooks]

Wait a minute! Ophra said she voted for republicans? Talk about flip flopping.

[Susan214reel]

Ron Paul will end the war in Iraq immediately. Congressman Ron Paul's Record: He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He has never taken a government-paid junket. He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

[friendsofthefruitsof]

basta! enough with this Rupaul fella, let him o sip tea with Ross Perot

[Silverkid0124]

Sure, Ron Paul is good on political freedom.

The problem with him is that he believes that the free market can solve anything. It can't. There are holes in the market that you can't solve in any other way. Withdrawing from the WTO, ending the payroll tax, and putting us back on the Gold Standard is not going to move our economy forward.

[Susan214reel]

Hello fellow Americans! Ron Paul will end the war on drugs. Congressman Ron Paul's Record: He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted against the Iraq war. He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

[hughlooks]

Who the hell is Ron Paul?

[srzy]

you should really check out ron paul's video, see how he handles the gop debate

[Susan214reel]

is obama censoring the comments on this video too?

[scharb]

Barack is the only candidate not living in some fantasy world. Candidates like Clinton and Paul seem to think that their solutions will make magical rainbows fly soldiers out of Iraq.

He's grim. He has this "we regret to inform you..." tone. There's no perfect solution to Iraq, but Obama has the best.

[Brasswatchman]

Hey, alvincay - would that make Bush Churchill? Don't make me laugh. There's a difference between appeasement and choosing your battles.

[rustybuick1]

My contribution to history, my family and my children will be that I stood on the side of freedom no matter the cost. He is but one man but he has the establishement terrified. I have nightmares about what they'll do to him but ultimately it will draw the line between those who want to save America and freedom and those who do not.

[rustybuick1]

Not true. There's Ron Paul. He has a life long commitment to the constitution and the philosophy of peace and freedom. His arm can not be twisted, he is a man of principal.

[visionar7]

Whic is it he is for...first he wants to stay in the war now he wants to leave...he'll never be president -Kucinich should be but he won't either....Go Hillary or Al Gore

[westlv]

I donated again today to Ron Paul, LOOK AT MY PROFILE TO SEE WHY...spread the word, get involved and DONATE to Ron Paul, TODAY!!!

[alvincay100]

Neville Chamberlain would be proud of the modern Democrat party. If you stupid liberals don't know who Neville Chamberlain was, then look him up.

[LuciusBrutus]

I have the impression that Obama supports big government and socialism in the form of redistributing wealth according to his ideals. Go check his voting record on Project Vote Smart. And ask yourself, as a global socialist would he actually be capable of dealing with our failed American foreign policy? How about our failed economic policy?

So does he support personal liberty or does he support paternalistic government policy?

[HRClinton]

This guy is a neophyte and doofus. Military intelligence? He's an idiot and would only make matters worse. Retreating, as the democrats suggest, would leave the place more dangerous. Hussein Obama is a threat to US security.

[ngibson5]

HR, you wear your bigotry like a KKK sheet. Obama has more intelligence in his pinky finger - military and otherwise - than Bush has in his whole cabinet. Have you been under a rock for the past 5 years? We need REALITY based leadership, not MORALITY based fantasy to end this quagmire.

[cbmtrx]

Wow, your comment makes you sound like a grade schooler--picking on a guy for his middle name. Who gives a f**k what his middle name is?? Are you that xenophobic that you can't stand the thought of a black man with a foreign name having a say in US affairs?<br />

Time to grow up now.

[JStomber]

you are a idiot for thinking that

[AmeriKay]

I understand why folks challenge the claims of Senators who abdicated their responsibilities to give Bush a blank check on the war. But it is stupid and self-defeating (sorry, folks) in matters of war or foreign policy to announce your full strategy. Obama's early opposition to the war is well documented. He gives a timetable for beginning and ending a withdrawal -- more than many. He has been consistent. I don't agree with oldhacks that he has no plans.

[browni15]

another wishy washy answer. when is obama going to lose some of the "i'm so charismatic, people just gravitate to me" b.s. and begin to give real answers to difficult questions like this one. we are not voting for american idol here people!

[molindah]

Yeah there is no need for another American Idol like George W. Bush who can hardly put a coherent sentence together. Bush is a dumb-ideologue who wants to eradicate evil. Its time for people like Obama to take over because they are analytical and have common sense, practical solutions to problems facing the world today. Even if Obama's answers are simple, they make sense and they are sincere. So vote for Obama 2008, if not maybe you should run for President.

[alvincay100]

Please list any of Obama's acomplishments as a Senator...wait he doesn't have a single one.

[SoulFlower69]

Obama has sponsored over 800 bills as SENATOR.

233 on healthcare reform

125 on poverty

112 crime fighting

97 economic

60 human rights

15 gun control

6 veterans affairs and more

As Senator authored 152 bills, co-sponsored 427. Has gotten 12 bills PASSED in 3 years, compared to the 20 in HRC's 8 years. Which breaks down to about 2 ½ per year for Clinton and 4 a year for Obama!

[SoulFlower69]

this is what it boils down to alvincay100: Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law), Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law),Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation

[milanoflix]

Political mumbo jumbo?

[arbitraryReason]

I can't stand candidates that equivocate. Answer the question more directly or risk being ignored.

[jdubray2]

Barack has the intelligence, the charisma, and -- most importantly -- the good judgment needed to restore our country's reputation throughout the world.

[HRClinton]

Why not elect a bottle of shampoo instead?

[TDRIVE80]

My WHERE do you come from. Digg a little more please.

[MediaAction]

HELP SPREAD THIS VIDEO -- to help it climb the YouTube ratings and be seen by others: give it 5 stars, make it a favorite, comment, and forward to friends!

[oldhacks]

when are people going to realize that Barack has no plans.

[abelrosen]

Haven't you learned anything from politics? What plan does any non-president have that they could actually stand behind in TRUTH and REALITY???

[oldhacks]

I think it's nessasary to have atleast an idea of what you could possibly do to save us from a national crisis on a dozen fronts.
