i like obama, but i don't like Ivo Daalder. he's one of those righteous liberals who believe too much in interference.

They will be crying again in November when McCain wins. Obama is hype...McCain is a hero.
Danwei doesn't support candidates? Good because you can't vote either since you aren't American.
Obama sucks. He would ruin the economy much worse than it is now. McCain is the man. Deal with it Danwei.

Sgt. Slaughter, I, and many others like me, will vote Obama and put you out of a job.

McCain is a genuine war hero, but his 'experience' is not of the military leadership kind. So says Gen. Wesley Clark, and so say the many generals and admirals who support Obama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdN8XpL36Pk

And so say Democratic Senator Jim Webb and Republican Sentaor Chuck Hagel who know what it was like to be combat troops. They respect McCain but do not want him to be CIC. Obama is better qualified -- on judgement, on quality of mind. And on compassion.

First of all its ridiculous to question any man's heroism that went to war. It's also a mistake to question his leadership ability. It was wrong to question Mr. Kerry's contribution as it is very very wrong to question Mr. McCain's. He didn't have the chance to be a leader in Vietnam because he was tortured during most of his time there. Since he left there he has been nothing but a great leader in his years of service.

That's right because if you and your ill-informed buddies vote for Obama then the economy will go so far down the crapper that we will all be unemployed.

How the hell can you say that? You are so naive. So he can act. McCain is a realist. F compassion. How is compassion going to help the USA when everyone wants to destroy us. They don't hate us just because of recent events. People have always hated us since the beginning because or our independent thinking and ability to do anything we set our mind to do. Everyone is jealous of us. This is not America's problem and being compassionate was Gandhi's business. Obama is no Gandhi.

Quality of mind? What the hell does that mean? Are you saying something like Obama's brain gets better gas mileage than McCain's? There is a reason why McCain is so old. Its because his mind is as solid as ever...and it probably runs on steam.

Go ahead and waste your vote on Obama. Hopefully that comforts you when you are jobless.
