  • both em are fucking useless POLITICIANS CANT AND WONT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS!

  • Welcome to OBAMANATION!

    YES WE CON!

    YES WE CON!

  • I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO

    im bored on cam Kr

  • Obama has a clear problem making desicions!

    130 Present Votes

    Worst Senate attendance record

    97% Votes along party lines

    "That's above my pay grade"

    When has Obama ever taken a strong stance on anything?

    When has he been able to make a tough call?

    Talk is cheap! Actions demand courage!

  • What a disgrace! He's a political opportunist and chameleon--it's as simple as that.

    McCain/Palin '08!

  • do you think Barack Obamas voting of "present" 130 times on simple yes or no issues shows any type of ability to lead? Barack "double talk" Obama is a anti-freedon gun-grabbibg tax-and-spend government-knows-best wealth redistributing global socialist that says he is a devoted Christian while he is in South Carolina, but then insults people who "cling to their religions" while he is in San Fransisco. Barack Obama is a sack of socialist shit that will say and do anything to get a vote.

  • "Clinton is done"

    Yes, and she knows it. But she's so vindictive and shifty that she's going to make sure Obama gets his clock cleaned in November so she can paint herself in 2012 as the only viable candidate for the Democratic nomination. She may be a thug, like her husband, but she's savvy and thinks in the long term.

    Might work, since McCain will most likely be a one-term President.

    However, the usual nasty Democratic infighting just about guarantees the biggest GOP landslide since '80.

  • Obama = Global poverty act... google it

  • From The New York Time (By ABNER J. MIKVA, 02-16-08): Unlike Congress and the legislatures of most other states, each chamber of the Illinois Legislature requires a constitutional majority to pass a bill. The state Senate has 59 members, so it takes 30 affirmative votes. This makes a "present" vote the same as a no.If a bill receives 29 votes, but the rest of the senators vote present, it fails... Mikva has been an Illinois legislator, a U.S. congressman, a federal judge and White House counsel

  • After donating $5 millions to her campaign,Clinton refused to disclose her tax return,as Obama did and every candidate should do. Why?What is she hiding?McCain did not disclose as well. THESE ARE FACTS,NOT WORDS.

    Obama does not accept donations from lobbies,while Clinton does.That means that, once elected,she will owe to special interest groups while Obama will owe only to the people of America,the one million of people who have donated a few dollars each!. THESE ARE FACTS,NOT WORDS
