If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

Best regards

jacksmith...

p.s. You Might Be An Idiot!

If you don't know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering...

I am extremely concerned about Senator Obama as the Democratic nominee.
I am a Caucasian 58 year old American. This is a difficult letter to write as it may be viewed as racial. My intent is not to express that, whatsoever. I would love to see the Democratic candidate in the White House. However, Senator Clinton should be the nominee.

Speaking for my community, Senator Clinton's supporters will not vote for Senator Obama. I believe that many, especially white people, will not admit this to anyone. My community is against Senator Obama, not because he is an African American, but instead because of his ties with his pastor that demonstrates hate towards our country and supports radical leaders such as Louis Farrakhan.

Reverend Wright’s comments were anti racial and hateful. The Trinity United Church of Christ is a black church with ten bylaws teaching black theology that are also frightening to many. Lastly, Louis Farrakhan is highly regarded in this church. There was an award given to Louis Farrakhan only recently. All these issues are very unsettling.

Senator Obama continues to support Reverend Wright. Obama had the opportunity to distant him from his pastor for the sake of the Democratic Party but instead chose to speak about race. Senator Clinton supporters will not vote for Senator Obama for that reason alone. After the Reverend Wright clips and investigating Senator Obama’s Church thoroughly “Obama supporters” have expressed in many blogs over the internet that they have been deceived by Senator Obama and are completely embarrassed to support him as the Democratic nominee.
This is much more serious than what the news media portrays. The news will not and can not cover these issues properly. Too much discussion would indeed portray the media as racists. I, myself, find this very difficult to write about.
The second issue is there questions about Senator Obama’s ties with criminal Antoin Rezko from Chicago. Senator Obama has not addressed this properly.
Please find two of the many articles from the Sun Times of Chicago newspaper and
ABC’s web site:

SUN TIMES
Obama: Rezko was 'a significant fundraiser'
March 14, 2008
BY ABDON M. PALLASCH

In an extensive 80-minute interview with the Sun-Times, White House hopeful Barack Obama laid out just how close he and indicted Chicago businessman Tony Rezko grew personally and financially.
Rezko could have donated as much as $250,000 to Obama's campaigns over the years much more than the $60,000 to $70,000 Obama's campaign initially estimated, Obama said.
Barack Obama discusses his relationship with Tony Rezko with a group of Sun-Times reporters and editors Friday.

"Rezko was not my largest fund-raiser but a significant fund-raiser" on his campaign for U.S. Senate, Obama
Obama estimated a total of $170,000 was raised by Rezko, he said. Could it be more than $170,000, Obama was asked. When pushed, he said it could be as high as $250,000.

“It’s hard for me to know precisely,” Obama said. “I may not know who are friends of his.”

Obama said he would talk to Rezko daily during some of his political campaigns. Obama and his wife Michelle had 'two or three dinners' with indicted businessman Tony Rezko and his wife over the years and made one day trip to the Rezkos' home in Lake Geneva.

Obama agreed to meet with Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune reporters after many months of refusing to answer all the questions about the extent of his friendship with Rezko and the amount of money Rezko raised for him over the years.

Rezko is standing trial on unrelated charges that he used his influence to control jobs and appointments to state boards in Gov. Blagojevich’s administration and that Rezko got kickbacks. Obama is not implicated in the indictment.

Obama denied he got any discount on the purchase of his Hyde Park home after Rezko toured the house with him and agreed to buy the adjoining lot that was for sale at the time. When Rezko told Obama he woud like to purchase the next-door lot, Obama told him that would be fine, he said.

“Having somebody that I knew, who was a friend of mine, developing the lot would be great,” Obama said. “Tony agreed to pay for the erection of a fence.”

Obama said even though “there were some noises” about Rezko having potential legal problems, he went ahead with the transaction, which he now thinks is a mistake.

An even more serious lapse was his later argreement to purchase a five-foot strip of land from Rezko after Rezko's legal problems became more public, he said.

"The larger problem is me purchasing the strip of land," Obama said. "At that point it was clearer he was going to have significant legal problems. For me to enter into a business transaction with him was . . . a boneheaded move."

All along the way, red flags should have been going up but were not because he had known and trusted Rezko so long, Obama conceded.

“He never once asked me for any favors, or ever did any favors for me,” Obama said. “He never gave me any gifts or gave me any indication he was setting me up to ask for any favors in the future.”

Reformer: Trial Will Reveal 'Cesspool' of Obama's Allies
Trial for Indicted Fundraiser Tony Rezko Set for Monday
By BRIAN ROSS, RHONDA SCHWARTZ and AVNI PATEL
Feb. 29, 2008—
With the corruption trial of one of Sen. Barack Obama's longtime friends and supporters set to begin Monday in Chicago, Ill., reform watchdogs say it will reveal the "cesspool" of Illinois politics in which Obama came of age and has said little about in his campaign for president.

"We have a sick political culture," said Jay Stewart, the executive director of the Chicago Better Government Association, "and that's the environment that Barack Obama came from."

Stewart says he does not understand why Obama has lectured others about corruption in Washington and Kenya but "been noticeably silent on the issue of corruption here in his home state, including at this point, mostly Democratic politicians."

There was no immediate comment from the Obama campaign.
The trial Monday involves federal charges of bribery and extortion against Tony Rezko, a real estate developer who became known in Illinois politics as a behind-the-scenes operator and fixer.

While Obama is not considered a target of the Rezko investigation, Stewart says it will shed light on a man who was pivotal to Obama's political career.
"This wasn't just some guy who wrote a check once for Barack Obama, it's someone who was an early supporter and had a personal relationship with Sen. Obama for quite some time," Stewart said.

Indeed, even after he was elected to the United States Senate, Obama involved Rezko in a land deal that enabled the senator to buy his current home on Chicago's South Side.
Obama has since called his decision to
