		<description>This article by Caren Bohan is more about attacking Republicans for pointing out a historical innaccuracy which came out of Obama's mouth! How dare Republicans question this! HOw do we know Hiliary's camp didn't figure this out first? The writer is trying to make it look like Republicans think their the bottom line on history. No, its history books, miliary records but according to this writer Republicans think they have the final word on war history. 
     The liberal media slant is starting way early and will only get much worse!</description>

		<description>There are plenty of Presidents who have not served in the armed forces. I would rather have someone who has the good judgment to stay out of war, stop a war, and use actual diplomacy to avoid war than someone like McCain, who appears to be a bitter, angry, cranky old man.

Why is McCain so angry? It feels like he is still waging the Vietnam war with his "I will never surrender" and "we won't leave without victory and honor". There is no victory in an illegal war and no honor in killing thousands for a trumped up WMD excuse. McCain is a third Bush term. No WAY!

Obama has the promise to bring a new era to American politics and to change the way this country acts in the world and how it is perceived within the world. I believe he can make change happen and that change is a good thing, given the past 20 years of lies, corporate greed and apathy during the Clinton and Bush administrations.

No more Clintons. No more Bushes. These two families have all but ruined this country.

Together, we can make change. In the words of "The Postman" we will see that "things are getting better" when we finally get rid of the politics of the past.

Yes, we can.</description>

		<description>I am a Republican.  The fact that the RNC would make an issue of this only points to why the party is in such disastrous shape.

We have just witnessed Obama destroy the Clinton machine and this type of ridiculous pettiness that masquerades as political debate. I remember when we had a Contract With America, based on issues that brought us back into the majority.  

This Rovian nonsense has brought us to the place we are today, a ever smaller minority party on its way to losing the Presidency.  The sooner Republicans face up to this the better off we will be. I am over 60 and even I can see that time has passed Rovianism by.</description>

		<description>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7176683.stm

This is an article in the BBC about Obama's cousin who has run in Kenya for president, and is a Milatant Muslim who apparently has killed 1000's of Christians, burning them in their churches.

Apparently Obama is known to have called his cousin two three times a day at times while his cousin was running for office.

I wonder why the American press dosnt think this family association is important, also his step brother is a militant muslim.

Shouldnt these associations be presented to the American public?

This is the first I am hearing of this and I have attepted to verify as much as possible.</description>

		<description>So, the man made a mistake. It is, however, unfortunate that no politician can make a mistake in what they say.

We all know how Hillary "Isn't Robert Kennedy," as she put it. Which fine, innappropriate comment, but, she got caught up in the heat of conversation, and used a bad example.

and now we know that Barack Obama doesn't have all of his nazi containment memorized by heart.

It doesn't by any means make them less qualified because of slip ups. Let's give them an "Oops," card, and move on with our live, concentrating on what &lt;i&gt; actually&lt;/i&gt; matters.</description>

		<description>Obama wanted to add some image of his family having sacrificed and acted patriotically.  For some bazarre reason they decided this story would be a positive addition to his image.  So he says "The family tells this story".  of this family member going into the attic and staying there for six months, supposedly due to war trauma.

He did not claim to have witnessed this himself.

It is the mind set however, same for Hillary, that we can just conjure up these images, in order to paint a picture we want to paint.  This offhand manipulation of facts that shows how unimportant reality is in these peoples lives.  They are constantly striving to be something they fell they have to be to get the vote they aspire to.

I'm not sure they know who they are, or actually care.  They are more concerned about who the should appear to be.

The fact that they mis represent the facts so often is a strong signal about who they are.  These are the issues, is their any reality in these peoples lives or are they a creation like Mickey Mouse.</description>

		<description>Obama, really needs to do his homework before he opens his mouth.  As a African American I really don't see his change all I see is other African Americans  voting because he is black and that is sad.  When is this country going to look at the future in not the color.

		<description>If Clinton would have said this she would have been lambasted. Since media darling Obama said it his comments will be ignored. Has there ever been this level of bias towards a political candidate?</description>

		<description>I understand from some other blogs that Charlie Payne (the great uncle) was a soldier in WWII. However, he enlisted with the Navy.

I haven't seen the press, however, take up on this. The 86th is an Army contingent (that spent a few hour in Ohrdruf before moving on to the next battlefield).</description>
