Senator Barack Obama gave a fundraising speech before 600 Democrat fat-cats where attendees paid between $500 and $2,300 to Barack Obama for America. He spoke for around twenty minutes to his disciples and point out the difference in issues between his and John McCain's views surrounding the economy, health care, the war, and his political philosophy.
Then he injected a discordant note, “Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy. We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me.” The day before, he told reporters that Republican 527 groups will run negative ads during the election. Funny thing, there are no Republican 527 groups (in comparison to the ones the liberals have).
The Obama claimed that the Republicans’ message bring up the his race. “He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black? He’s got a feisty wife,” Obama told a cheering crowd.
“We know the strategy because they’ve already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn’t moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us,” he proclaimed.
This is all from a guy who claims that he's a "uniter, not a divider." The interesting thing about this is that the only people who even mentioned his race were fellow Democrats and himself. Former President Bill Clinton complained that Obama injected "the race card" prior to the North Carolina primary and he saw the documentation proving his claim that the Obama camp planned to do this.
This so-called "uniter" is nothing but a four-star phoney. It is true that the GOP campaign will bring up the fact that he is inexperienced. That is fair game! He
is inexperienced and has no accomplishments under his belt and never managed anything in his life. And he expects people to elect him to run the biggest superpower in the world?!

It is very scary, and sad too:
It seems that people want change so badly that a simple mantra"Change" has them sold.
I think that McCain will win because they are beginning to see who Obama is, but their back is against the wall because 4 more years of a McCain/Bush agenda is not siting well with anyone.
I am a Democrat, that may vote 3rd party but I must say that McCain does NOT scare me 1/10th as much as Obama does. His associations and affiliations should be scary to every one who is not digging their head in the sand.
Voting for a third party candidate may make a person feel better, but it is actually throwing away your vote.
You'll have to ask yourself, "Who is best equipped to keep this country protected and is best to steer the country out of the current economic downturn?"
I do agree with you. voting for a 3rd party is a throw away.
I am very clear on that, and certain that your direction is most appropriate. I just can not vote for Obama because of I feel he will be far worse for the US then Bush; and the concept of 4 more years in pretty scary too.I think if enough people vote 3rd party THE STATEMENT that would be made for all the world to see is that we do want change, but we want HEALTHY change, (IMO Obama is far from that; all he offers regarding to change IMO is changing his mind)
I'D much rather vote for someone then 3rd party but Whoever is left standing is not it.
