I would have to agree with poncho......but it still doesnt keep me from wondering how in the world obama became so popular with such little experience......and I also think that he should spend more time talking about his beliefs rather than clintons less than certain ones.

I like the fact that he pointed out that americans are working harder for less. It does seem that way but he campaigns that he will raise minimum wage, that is def. not what needs to be done. But it is harder to save money or retire for the average middle class american.

I think Obama is very clear on his ideas. When he debates, he is clear and is just sharing his believes with the American people. I also feel however that he spend too much time bashing Clinton for her ideas. I think he needs to persuade the people that his ideas will work rather then telling them Clintons won't. When the man asked what he would do if some of the plans wouldn't work and he said he would ensure that they would. In my mind that proved to be a weakness because I want to know how he will ensure the plans to work. Not all the time does everything work the way we want it to, not if your the president of the United States or just the average citizen.

Why doesn't anyone ever want to take a chance? I mean, so what if Hilary has a few less than certain beliefs? She can get a few advisers who will help her out then. Why does everyone think their candidate must be perfectly square? Can't their be one candidate in your eyes who isn't all and all with you? I mean, every time something like this goes up, everyone decides to comment on how this candidate is crazy because of this. And how did he get this when he's like this. Why can't we just look at their values and judgment and what they want to do instead of what they don't know what to do?
Finishing that statement, I'd just like to say people want to do what they want to do and they're going to support what they believe in unless of course those pressures, wanting to be liked, the re-election thought, and the party, really discourage all their political confidence. And why won't anyone accept them for what they want and not what they don't know? Because I'm pretty sure you don't know everything either.

I LOVE OBAMA!! I think he's right, and I'm glad that he took a stance and a good one. Americans ARE working harder for less. And when I get old I want to be able to have social security, why else do those bloodsuckers take 20 something dollars out of my paycheck every two weeks?!?!

I can understand what Beef Sandwich( with onions) is saying but I think its not the fact that they know what to do during everything but the fact that the American people need to know where these people stand before they cast their vote for them.

I don't understand why so many people write off Hilary Clinton so quickly. Can someone please name one real reason why they are so against her? I think we all just bandwagon along with our parents and don't really understand why we don't like her. ((don't get me wrong, I do not support her either, but I have just cause))

I think it is funny how Obama can blame Clinton for being unclear on issues, but then never states where he stands on any of those that he mentions. Seems to me like he missed an oppertunity to share his views and show how his way is better than hers...
