that belittle a person for being an honor grad of Harvard Law & earning a Juris Doctorate, must come from a highly successful, very learned individual.

I couldn't be there... : - (

I wanted to go so badly, but I couldn't afford to take the time off from work, unlike Joe the (rich, $250,000 yr)Plumber. But, I did watch it on the computer!

And, I'm happy to be one of the 22,000 at Harbor Park that saw him Tuesday night, so I'm just ready for Tuesday!

This election is plain and simple. The last eight years have been a disaster for EVERY American.

Since we, the taxpayers, pay their salaries, it's time to fire them!

Color this Veteran's vote BLUE!

Go Obama!!!

Excited to see Obama speak tomorrow, just watched his 30 minute tv program and thought that was great!! Obama has so many things for him, one being someone who understands how it is to live pay to pay check - McCain being rich all his life, doesnt-my friends! Lets see how many people turn out in Newport News Saturday for McCain, it wont be 20,000! People are tired of the rich getting all the tax breaks and the working class/middle class struggle! We need change and McCain is not it! Look beyond the color of Obama's skin and his middle name and see who he really is. A good family man, who has heart and will fight for US!! Oh and why no signs or banners?? Leave to Virgina Beach!

IT WILL BE GREAT

Awesome to see Obama at +8 in the polls in Virginia. Still wondering why anyone is voting for McCain and Palin unless they are very rich, very uninterested in doing their research or very racist. 6 days! Good luck to the haters out there, you've got a rough road ahead of you.. like the rough road we've all had for the last 8 years. What a relief that's almost over. LOL

I bet you would not have anything to say if a McSame event reached capacity, but then again that would never happen. The fire marshall can go home and relax on Saturday night. I guess exceeding 8000 in a 12,000 seat capacity says something GOOD about Obama!

Obama Night

Sorry folks, I have something more important to do that night, my son's first concert of the year at Salem H.S. VPAA. Say hi to Obama for me. Tell him it'll be nice to see him back in the Senate gaining experience for his next run in 2012. ;-)

"This guy brings people together!"

So did Hitler.

He promises a lot but the actions of his party put doubt in my mind that he can do it. Examples: He promises more jobs in the US, but the Democrat Senator from NJ is pushing for 500,000 more H-1B visas for foreigners to work in the US. He promises a pay raise for the military, but his party has stated this week that they plan on cutting the military's budget by 25%. Don't believe the hype/promises that either candidate spouts because without the backing on the House and Senate, it is just empty words that are nice to hear.
