I am a naturalized United States citizen. While I was in Europe, I had a chance to hear your speech which you delivered in Germany. I was moved by your words and your vision of peace of all nations. At that time my heart was moved, and I knew you would at some point receive such a honorable award. Mr. President, Congratulations! Mr. President of the United States of America, Mr. President Obama:

Nobel Prize for Physics… “Great”, Chemistry… “Love It”, Medicine…”Wonderful”, Literature…”Fantastic”, Peace… “What a Joke”!!!! Let me get this straight, Obama becomes President on January 20th and by February 1st (end of nomination period), Obama is in. What did he do between January 20th and February 1st to be considered for the nomination? The Fix was clearly in. Good for Mr. Obama he is in good company with losers like Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Kofi Annan, and Yasser Arafat. He (Obama) fits right in! The fix was in!

I sadly read some of the negative comments from the sore loser party. I used to be either republican or independent. Since I've seen, heard and read the sour grapes and ignorant comments from the McCain/Palin camp and from radical righteous democrats, I'm sad that Americans could be so ignorant, closed minded, prejudice, vindictive and mean spirited. I have a few more words for that...but enough said. Barack Obama received his award for his Peace promoting efforts, anyway...not for his support of just one group. You go Barack!!!

Ideas put out there have been federal land being used for solar power plants, high speed rail between cities, and even utilitarian measures such as health care. Even if the policies don't succeed, the ideas have been distributed to a larger audience. The right stuff is being glorified.

Or maybe a little research into Obama's background could enlighten their brains a little further. Polls are in no way an indication of either candidate. They have historically backed the Democratic candidate, who at most times never wins anyway. Wake up Obama backers. Borrow some brains from somewhere. Get a life.

However, this doesn’t guarantee that they base their vote on an altruistic insight into what’s best for the world. They are still voting for what they think is best for them. Just as most humans will do come November. What if there was a stat that 90% of ex-convicts support Obama. Would that be a reason to not vote for him. Of course not, you have to look at each issue for yourself and decide. Is it because he will bring about light punishments, or because he has a great plan for rehabilitating inmates. One would be bad for me the other good. I'm not voting for Obama, and it isn’t because of the reasons that have been listed in the previous posts, at least I don't consider myself delusional. The reason is the large divide between Sen. Obama's past actions, and his current spoken platform. He sounds like he has a great plan but it doesn't agree with his past record. When I look at is voting record I disagree with him on most issues. Can someone offer their thoughts on why there is such a divide between his record and current platform?

You must put it in simplier terms that she can understand: Voting for McCain/Palin = voting for stagnation (that means no improvement, Marie). Voting for Obama/Biden = voting a possibility for change. Or maybe, if Marie cannot understand that: McCain = the last 4 years, Obama = the promise of some progress.
