    As much as I'd like to see a woman president, I don't trust Hillary as far as I can throw her.

    He can not manage run washington because washington are not using politics instead they are using principles as USA presiden had said, these principles are mccarthyism, monroe doctrine, destabilization of globe, direct & indirect of over drawing the leaders world wide if against nonroe doctrine,jingoism, controlling of all natural resources globe wide and so on.Washington is being ruling by Bush and Clinton families for long era and it is their local and international criminal.Sooner than later the countries that washington create the hatred of McCARTHYISM are going to react too.Now the whole world will need the Bush and his administration plus washington should be brought to justices If no whether 10 years or 100 years many countries will agree to fight washington for these criminalations committed washington in white house.

    Seems pretty interesting, looks like Obama's got his work cut out for himself.

    While I'm here, I was also looking at the weekly democratic nominee polls, and it's almost amazing how Barack Obama came from a 28% deficit to taking the lead over Hilary Clinton just weeks before the democratic caucus.

    What do you think of that?

    Obama has a bigger job cut out for himself than he knows...

    Personally, I think that Obama is arrogant...and this will be his downfall amongst educated, well-rounded, mature and informed American voters.

    I also believe that websites like the one listed below could ultimately determine why more and more Democrats will defect to John McCain's camp.

    Unfortunately, there is little about Obama that a website like the one below says that can be refuted...that is, unless you've flunked Philosphy 101 in college,or never got to college in the first place.

    What can be done?

    Sooner or later all of us will have to reckon with our conscience and higher intellectual powers and when this occures we will invariably be forced to choose between either 'principle' or the physical attributes of the other candidate.

    Which candidate is traveling down the wrong road on critical issues?

    Which do you think will win out, come November? '

    'Higher principles' or the 'physical' attributes of a particular candidate?

    Predictably, older voters will vote in favor of 'principle'... obviously, because they are more concerned about what happens after death and the legacy they will leave behind.

    In contrast, the younger voters, since they have more time left in life to recant, are more likely to be reckless and procrastinate with any decision in favor of principle, and will likely vote in favor of 'idealism'...

    ...and these are the young and youthful voters that Obama appeals to and also why a lot of us older folks see Obama as 'the Pied Piper of the niave'.

    However, (which is the next question that begs itself): 'When does Barack's own conscience begin to bother him?'

    Personally, I think Obama needs to start thinking about what he can do to 'remake' his image if he wants to win this election.

    I'm not sure that he'll want to be that person he's beginning to look like against John McCain...who today represents everything that America stands for.

    BUT, if Obama thinks he can win going the way he's headed, then let him go for it.

    But, as for me and many like me who sit on the fence until election time in November, we'll still be thinking about having to live with ourselves long after this election is over in November and maybe these are the thoughts that the new young voters haven't entertained yet...

    ...and, there's still a lot that can happen between now and November...

    ...and, this probably means that Obama faces a huge political swamp ahead...one that he has created for himself by being too impetuous on some very important issues...

    ...which has already gotten him into trouble with some of the very wise old parents of the younger generation.
